Chapter 177: The Death of the Peach

Thieves have always been the most hated, and the world has no good impression of eunuchs, let alone any sympathy, plus the Tang Dynasty has a strict hierarchy and governs the country with filial piety - Yang Weihua, a eunuch, dared to steal the relics of the emperor's ancestors, which simply caused public outrage!

However, after all, the eunuch is the domestic slave of the royal family. Even if he committed a capital crime, he could not be killed by others in a private torture hall. Therefore, Xue Shaocai did not tear Yang Weihua to pieces and smash him into pulp with his own hands, which may be more able to vent his anger, but he will inevitably get into trouble, and if he is too late, the gains outweigh the losses.

Cheng Boxian and others were scolding angrilyβ€”β€”

"This old thief is also bold, he dares to steal General Xue's ancestral mother's relics, so that General Xue will be infamous for being unfilial!"

"In my opinion, Childe is too soft-hearted! Look, the old thief can still move! ”

"Hang him up and chop him alive!"

Xue Shao hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "Brothers, stop." This incident happened in the palace, and it was finally handed over to the palace officials to deal with. ”

Zhu Bajie, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, heard Xue Shao's words, and a spirit came back to his senses and shouted: "Come on, tie up Yang Weihua!" ”

Everyone suddenly smelled a commotion.

The two little eunuchs lying on the ground were already scared to pee, and they kowtowed desperately on the ground, and their heads were bleeding, "Son, spare your life!" Childe spares his life! Everything was done by Yang Weihua alone, and he had nothing to do with the little slave! ”

Zhu Bajie trotted and trembled in front of Xue Shao, and bent down at ninety degrees, "Xue Gongzi must forgive his sins, blame the little slave for failing to discipline these animals under his hands, and causing trouble to Gongzi!" ”

"You should be pretty much clear. If there's something unclear, ask the two of them to tell you. Xue Shao stabbed the little eunuch on the ground with his toes.

The little eunuch screamed in surprise and began to talk like a cannon, or from yesterday, saying that Yang Weihua stared at Xue Gongzi's family heirloom jade pendant yesterday and praised it and never forgot it, and today he took the opportunity to clean up Xue Gongzi's room and stole it. All the details were clear and clear, as if it were really the truth he had seen with his own eyes.

The powerful people in the palace are unlucky, and it is really not as simple as the trees falling down and scattering, and the people taking the tea are cool, it is simply the wall falling down and everyone pushing it!

On the other side, Yang Weihuo, who was half-dead, had already been gagged, and the people in the palace knew this way of doing things best - gag first.

"This eunuch really deserves to die!" A group of people scolded angrily.

Zhu Bajie rushed to Yang Weihua in a hurry, slapped him with a few big-eared scrapers, and roared angrily, "The dog thief ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and even dared to steal Xue Gongzi's treasure!" You deserve to die today, you were arrested and got all the stolen goods! ”

When it comes to this, it is basically an ironclad case.

Xue Shao said: "Gonggong Zhu, I am here in the school, don't make a noise to our lecture if you want to beat or scold when you enforce the law." I suggest that you drag the people to the Qiuse Courtyard, and let the eunuchs of the Martial Arts Courtyard and the palace maids there watch together, and see who dares to steal our things in the future!" β€”β€”Ming canonical punishment, to set an example! ”

"Yes, the slave obeys! The little slave has miscalculated and disturbed the princes, and I ask the princes to forgive their sins! Zhu Bajie stepped forward with a smile and made a round.

Xue Shao waved his hand, "Everyone enter the academy, it's time to teach." Father-in-law Zhu, I will leave this thief to you to deal with, and give me an explanation sooner or later. Come back to me when you're done, and I'll have to ask you something about the princess. ”

"Yes, Xue Gongzi!"

When everyone heard this, there was no doubt, probably this Father-in-law Zhu just happened to come because of Princess Taiping. It is appropriate for someone in the palace to hand over the crime to him.

The scholars entered the school one after another, and Zhu Bajie asked someone to drag Yang Weihua and pulled all the eunuchs to Qiuse Courtyard together. Along the way, he scolded Yang Weihua, an old animal who is not long-eyed, who is not good at stealing to Xue Gongzi's head, and he deserves to be blind if he becomes a donkey in his next life!

Zhu Bajie muttered in his heart while scolding, Xue Gongzi, who has always been generous, how could he be so aggressive with a eunuch today, and specially asked me to bring people to Qiuse Courtyard for execution?

The eunuchs were silent, and their steps were all light and dexterous, for fear that they would make a discordant sound and provoke Zhu Bajie's anger. This has always been the case in the palace, there is a small boss who is unlucky, and when dealing with the small boss, he will be punished. The most rational thing to do is to bury the little boss when he is unlucky, report him, and preferably kill him with your own hands.

In short, the darker and more ruthless the attack, the greater the possibility of self-preservation!

So, the two little eunuchs who were almost listed as accomplices cried all the way to Zhu Bajie, asking for orders to personally torture Yang Weihua, and said that no less than thirty palms He had committed crimes in the past, such as corruption and theft, was still light, and there must be such crimes as insulting Zhu's father-in-law behind his back.

A group of eunuchs entered the Qiuse Courtyard, and forty or fifty palace maids hurriedly came out to greet them. As soon as they saw a half-dead Yang Weihua tied up covered in blood, and a very big internal prisoner Zhu Bajie came, the palace maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Zhu Bajie stood in front of those palace maids, and one of them was dressed in rags and had a weak complexion, obviously overworked. Despite this, her appearance and bearing are still standing out among a group of palace maids.

Zhu Bajie recognized her at a glance - Shangguan Wan'er!

At this point, Zhu Bajie's heart has been completely understood. If he didn't have any consciousness at all, where could he still climb to Princess Taiping's side and be her confidant?

"Come on, hang this thief slave and give me a hard beating!" Zhu Bajie shouted loudly.

The two "quasi-accomplice" little eunuchs each took off their clothes and picked up a cowhide whip wrapped in iron nails, "Gonggong Zhu, how much do you smoke?" ”

"Stupid! Is this what you should ask?! ”

The two little eunuchs didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and picked up the whip to make it enough to eat milk.

There is no set amount, that is, the draw is the end until death. And, the more you draw, the better. If three or five ruthless hands are used to suck people to death, there will be a suspicion of "giving them refreshment", and Zhu Bajie will definitely not be able to spare them!

The crackling whip sounded, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were watching were either frightened or relieved with their eyebrows. With the rise and fall of the whip, some people scolded loudly, it can be seen that Yang Weihua usually does a lot of evil and bullies, and some people ask for a piece of his meat to eat!

Only Shangguan Wan'er stood there very calmly, as if what was happening in front of her had nothing to do with her, like numbness, and like a clear cloud.

"Listen, this thief and slave dare to steal royal artifacts, a capital crime!" Zhu Bajie said loudly, "Today, I will be flogged and sentenced to death in public, and I will advise future generations not to follow suit!" ”

"I can't wait!" The eunuchs and palace maids only dared to make promises.

"As soon as the thief slave dies, there is no main courtyard in the Qiuseyuan." Zhu Bajie seemed to point casually at Shangguan Wan'er, "It's up to you to take over the affairs of the hospital!" ”

"Slave and maid thank Gonggong Zhu for his kindness!" Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly thanked her.

"Since it's a matter of the main house, you have to be decent." Zhu Bajie first nodded with a smile, and immediately turned his face away, "You stupid slaves are still stunned?" ”

"Yes! The slave maid immediately waits for the house to change clothes! ”

"The slave maid went to boil water and bathed in the fragrant soup of the courtyard!"

"The slave maid freshens up and puts on makeup for the courtyard affairs!"

"The slave maid will go and prepare tea and rice immediately!"

……

Dozens of palace maids and eunuchs scrambled to get busy, eager to lift Shangguan Wan'er to the clouds in an instant, and then lay on the ground and licked the soles of her shoes and shouted Long live the queen!

Although the main court affairs in the cold palace are not formal palace officials with ranks, they are like the "soil emperors" here. The queen who leads the affairs of the harem will only outline the wedge and manage a few palace officials, and she will not look at the cold palace more. Just like the emperor rules the world, he will not personally take care of some inconspicuous rural affairs.

Shangguan Wan'er walked in front of Zhu Bajie and bowed down, "Slave and maid thank Gonggong Zhu for his kindness in recreation!" ”

"Why bother with a little effort?" Zhu Bajie didn't put his internal confession in front of Shangguan Wan'er, and when there was no one next to him, he smiled and whispered: "Shangguan girl, the little slave can only do things to this extent. If there is anything wrong, just ask, as long as I can do it for me, I will do my best! ”

"No, thank you father-in-law for your generous care, Wan'er can't repay it!" Shangguan Wan'er said goodbye.

"How can you not?" Zhu Bajie said with a smile, "Seeing that your clothes have traces of being torn by whips, they must be covered with wounds - come on, quickly get the wound medicine!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Bajie's little follower ran away.

"Thank you father-in-law for your mercy!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed her hand and said.

"Ouch, the little slave is not so blessed!" Zhu Bajie turned his head and quietly looked at the open window on the second floor of the Xuanwu Palace, squeezing his eyebrows.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled heartily, do you still need to say this?

Zhu Bajie coughed dryly, straightened his face and pouted at Yang Weihua, who was hanging from the tree, "Do you want to whip him a few times or poke him a few times with your own hands to vent your anger?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "No need. ”

Zhu Bajie blinked curiously, "Doesn't Miss Shangguan hate him?" ”

"You can ask someone to kill him with a knife, but you can end up in peace." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, hate? He doesn't deserve it yet. The rabbit died and the fox hurt him, and he was also a poor worm.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's okay, it's up to Miss Shangguan! Zhu Bajie wondered, how can you not hate him, how can you not want to cut a few pieces of meat from him to eat?

"Father-in-law is busy, Wan'er retired first!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed.

"Okay, the girl looks bad, hurry up and go to the good life to rest. I'll call someone to help you heal your wounds. Zhu Bajie nodded diligently and said with a smile: "From now on, if the girl has something to take care of, just send someone to the Inner Servant Province to find me!" ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhu!" Shangguan Wan'er said goodbye, turned around and walked towards the house.

From beginning to end, the two had a very tacit understanding that Xue Shao was not mentioned in the first half of the word.

Zhu Bajie stepped forward and cut off Yang Weihua's head with a knife with his own hand, and the head fell to the ground with a bang.

"Send five squares!"

Shangguan Wan'er stopped when she heard this, and instead of looking at Yang Weihua's head, she looked in the direction of the Xuanwu Hall and looked at the open window on the second floor.

No one.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, walked into the room where the clothes were being ironed, and sandwiched the complete petals of a February peach blossom in a folded Huadian embroidered dress.

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son of the family should return to his home ......".
