440, aftertaste
"I actually want to be reborn from my roots, what does this Cao Jixiang want to do?"
"It's madness!"
"I heard that in the previous dynasty, there was a eunuch who wanted to be reborn from his roots, and he really found a recipe. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but that recipe is to use children's brains as medicine, and lose all conscience! ”
"It's really miserable, Cao Jixiang actually eats human brains to replenish yang!"
……
Emperor Zhu Qizhen's Nangong was originally taken care of by only one Ruan's husband, and there was only one Wanzhen who could be relied on by the queen's side. Now that His Majesty the Emperor has allowed the emperor's family to reunite, it is natural to send eunuchs and palace maids. Almost all of these new additions are the disciples of the big eunuchs around the emperor, and sprinkling water and sweeping the floor, making beds and stacking quilts on weekdays are just part-time jobs, and it is their difference to act as eyes and ears at all times.
Although Cao Jixiang is very popular in the palace, he is not liquidated as Wang Zhen's doorman, but he is not a Ming treasure after all, and everyone can love him. In fact, no one loves Daming Bao now, so he will not lose his "political enemies".
Not only are there many enemies on the surface, but there are even more people secretly counting on their replacement. For a while, Cao Jixiang found the imperial doctor to treat the "broken root disease", and the matter was in an uproar.
Zhongguan has his own world, and he will not stab the emperor when he is idle, but this kind of accumulation is the most sad.
Cao Jixiang felt that his handle was always in the hands of others. He saw everyone who smiled at him, suspecting that the man had a sharp knife hidden behind his back. Even the person who asked him to do something, he didn't dare to take it, for fear of annoying the other party and being stabbed into it.
Liang Fang's life was even more difficult. He mobilized a dozen or twenty people, and what was supposed to be stable turned out to be messed up. When he returned to the Imperial Horse Prison, he was stripped naked, and beaten twenty times.
There are also unspoken rules for beating people and being beaten in the palace. The eunuch said, "Call me", that is, release the water and go through the motions. If you say "fight with your heart", it will be fatal, and you will not be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months. If you say "real fighting", it means that the victim will really be beaten to death.
The torture stick was made of chestnut wood, one end of which was sharpened into a mallet shape and covered with iron sheets. There is also a barb on the iron sheet, and if you hit it with a stick, the executioner will pull it again, and the sharp barb will tear off a large piece of the belt with blood. If it is really a "real fight", even if it is a strong man with a full height and a wide waist, ten times is enough to go to see the king of Hades.
Cao Jixiang can be regarded as obedient and clever in Liang Fang's past, and he can be useful, so he has to "fight with heart" among his subordinates. After hitting seven or eight strokes with my heart, it was changed to "hit me".
Liang Fang is still a young man after all, Rao is still beaten with such "grace", and he almost can't survive. He didn't dare to hate Cao Jixiang, he only hated Xu Xiaole, and when he was beaten, he imagined countless times that he would show today's hatred to Xu Xiaole in the future, and it seemed that the pain had been alleviated a lot.
Cao Jixiang knew that someone under the door was already secretly contacting the hooligan outside to pull the tiger, and wanted to put Xu Xiaole's sack and throw it into the Yongding River. This is a "civil strife" that is even more serious than the external trouble, he can't care about going out to extinguish the fire, he has to let these subordinates live in peace first, and don't dig a sinkhole for him to jump.
Now anyone can die, but Xu Xiaole can't die.
Xu Xiaole is not dead, as long as Cao Jixiang bites the "rumor", there is still a chance to confront him face-to-face.
If Xu Xiaole has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it just confirm Cao Jixiang's weak heart and kill people?
Not only can he not kill people, but he even has to prevent someone from killing Xu Xiaole and planting blame!
Cao Jixiang tried his best to protect Xu Xiaole's safety, on the one hand, he sprinkled silver outside the palace to find a master of the rivers and lakes to secretly protect him. On the one hand, he selected reliable people from the "four guards" to protect Xu Xiaole openly and secretly. In short, before the matter is settled, Xu Xiaole must not be allowed to have any accidents.
Xu Xiaole was originally just trying to get out, who knew that things would develop even more perfectly than he expected. Cao Jixiang not only confessed instantly, but also coaxed him thoroughly, and even sent people to protect him. This was simply a slap on the left cheek, and he immediately brought up the right cheek to make Xu Xiaole angry.
Of course, Xu Xiaole knew that Cao Jixiang was not a magnanimous saint who repaid grievances with virtue, so he was not polite to the people he sent. If their faces are ugly, Xu Xiaole will threaten them with self-harm - these people know that Xu Xiaole is a scoundrel, and the hooligans in Beijing and Tianjin like to play self-harm to fight fiercely, so they can only be coerced by Xu Xiaole.
They didn't know that Xu Xiaole was bored, let alone self-harm, even the slightest pain couldn't stand it. Without waiting for others to mutilate him, he ran away.
However, for the people from the rivers and lakes invited by Cao Jixiang, Xu Xiaole was much more polite.
These people are indeed inferior to those soldiers of the Four Guards in fighting, and they can't come up with any decent moves. If it is said that the eaves go to the wall, they are far inferior to Xu Xiaole. However, these Jianghu people have traveled south and north, and they are very knowledgeable, they know what is in the southeast and northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and they can also tell Xu Xiaole about the scenery along the way, various rivers and lakes, including how to distinguish black shops, black cars and black boats......
Xu Xiaole was very curious about this. Although he walked all the way from Jiangnan to Jingshi, he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but at that time he followed Jinyiwei, and there were people picking him up and dropping him off along the way, and he lived in the delivery shop and post station of the official family.
So Xu Xiaole invited them to eat, drink, and listen to their stories. These people also think that Xu Xiaole is modest, without the frame of an official, and it is just a protective job, why not try to be relaxed? is also willing to brag to Xu Xiaole, the original three-point dangerous thing should be said to be ten. Originally, he had two faces, but he insisted on saying that it was twenty points. If it weren't for Xu Xiaole's involvement in the market, knowing what these people said and bragged about, he would have thought that he was surrounded by a group of "martial arts alliance leaders" all day long.
After three months of such days, Cao Jixiang finally got the relationship between the palace and the palace, and the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison estimated that he couldn't do it, but he finally had no worries about his life, and he would not be dragged down to make flower fertilizer again. So he began to take revenge on Xu Xiaole.
Is it a sack to sink into the river?
Is it to hire someone to find fault and beat him to death on the street?
Or set up a bureau and picked up Xu Xiaole's official body?
……
However, at this time, Xu Xiaole has already formed a deep friendship with those people in the rivers and lakes, and even saved the lives of several of them - this is good when he is a doctor, there is always a lot of opportunity to send carbon in the snow, and he can be grateful.
Cao Jixiang just had the idea of making a move, and someone over there warned Xu Xiaole.
Xu Xiaole sighed, knowing that it was time for him to go.
