Chapter Ninety-Six: Between Life and Death
The eunuch Zhao Benzheng turned around conditionally, and when he saw that it was Zhu Youxiao, he was followed by Liu Ruoyu, who was also a big man, and he was so surprised that he was busy bowing down to say goodbye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I never thought that it was Your Majesty, your old man's house, Weichen is disciplining these disobedient palace people, polluting Your Majesty's ears, and hoping to forgive your sins!"
In Zhao Benzheng's opinion, these palace people who were sent here were all people that His Majesty hated, and even if he was punished, His Majesty would not be dissatisfied, so although he was surprised, he was not afraid, worried that His Majesty would punish himself for this.
However, Zhu Youxiao's face was cold as soon as he walked in, because he saw that not only Xu Fo, but also many palace people had scars on their faces, and even when they saw him, they instinctively shrank into the corner, and a pair of jade hands were even whiter, perhaps because of the perennial laundry, the nails were soaked off, and the bare fingers were estimated to be unable to wear nail polish again.
And Xu Fo also knelt on the ground at this time, hating and fearing this man even more in his heart, because the pain he was suffering now was given by him.
Zhu Youxiao walked over, helped Xu Buddha up, and stroked Xu Fo's jade back with his hand, and Xu Buddha couldn't help but shrink a little.
"Does it hurt?"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask, and when he saw Xu Fo gritting his teeth and nodding, he turned around and made a cold look: "You know the fate of slandering the king." ā
"The slave family knows, please give the slave family a white silk!"
Xu Fo knelt down again with tears in her eyes, she also knew that she was indeed sent here because she offended the king in front of her, she didn't expect the deep and ruthless king in front of her to forgive her, but she really didn't want to stay here and be tortured inhumanely, and she was forced to be husband and wife by a eunuch.
"Want to die? Do you think you can die without my permission? ā
Zhu Youxiao raised the chin of this Xu Buddha, and after sneering, he said: "It seems that the Huanyi Bureau is not suitable for you, and my palace is more suitable for you." ā
Xu Fo was stunned, she didn't know how she should answer Zhu Youxiao's words, maybe in front of the king in front of her, she had no right to oppose from beginning to end, so she could only accept it, at least better than staying in this Huanyi Bureau.
She is fed up with this, as long as she can get out of here, not to mention that the palace is to continue to go to places like Qinlou Chu Pavilion, she is also willing.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao walked up to Zhao Benzheng, whose eyes were wide and he didn't understand why His Majesty suddenly made a move: "Zhao Benzheng, give the whip in your hand to Gonggong Liu." ā
"Yes", Zhao Benzheng responded, who knew that as soon as he handed the whip to Liu Ruoyu, Zhu Youxiao coldly ordered: "Give him a whole corpse." ā
Liu Ruoyu understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, nodded and strangled Zhao Benzheng's neck with a whip as a rope, and said secretly in his heart: "Xiao'e, you know what you know, but you can also look at it." ā
"Your Majesty, Weichen", Zhao Benzheng was strangled to death by Liu Ruoyu before he finished speaking, and Zhu Youxiao never looked back, now he doesn't want to talk to these villains who are careless about human life and psychopath, since he is the king, it is better to let him disappear directly, although this guy used to be quite liked by himself and the queen, but relying on the bully has already violated Zhu Youxiao's bottom line.
Xu Fo couldn't help but look at the emperor in front of him, who had never shown any emotion, but in the blink of an eye, he glanced at His Majesty the Emperor who had lost the life of a eunuch in charge.
She didn't know if this king had killed this eunuch because of herself, but she couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart.
Zhu Youxiao saw that Xiao Huangmen, who also had a whip wound on his face, was hiding in the corner like other palace people, so he walked over and asked, "What's your name, why are you also beaten, could it be that the father-in-law in charge eats the opposite food and is not divided between men and women?" ā
"Back to Your Majesty, the little one is called Fang Zhenghua, and the little one was only beaten because of a few words of persuasion, because he wanted to force Lu Lu's mother to death."
The little eunuch was not stage frightened, and bowed his head and replied.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "From today on, you will be the steward here, and you will be promoted to the rank of young eunuch, but I have to say ugly things in front, if one of the palace people here is beaten or dies unnaturally, your fate will be worse than that of the surnamed Zhao." ā
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Zhenghua didn't expect that he would become the steward of one of the twenty-four yamen so quickly, so he hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
"Get up, remember to grab some medicine for them later, in addition, in the future, all the palace people in this Huanyi Bureau must take a day off every ten days every day, and everyone can go out to get married, but if you stay here for a month, you will be paid a monthly money every month, if you dare to withhold it, be careful of your head!"
As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Fang Zhenghua had to be busy and didn't dare.
At this time, Xu Fo, who had followed Zhu Youxiao back to the palace, was a little nervous, but she didn't dare to look up at Zhu Youxiao, she didn't know what she would face next.
And Zhu Youxiao didn't talk to her, but he stared at her jade face unscrupulously, Xu Fo was stared at a little blushing, but he didn't dare not say anything.
"Take her down to bathe, apply some medicine, and then take her to Qianqing Palace, and by the way, tell the queen that I won't go to Kunning Palace tonight."
As soon as Zhu Youxiao returned to the inner court, he just gave a few words to the maid and went to Xinuan Pavilion, but Xu Fo and Mu generally didn't know how to deal with it, or she didn't want to deal with it at all.
As soon as he came to the Xinuan Pavilion, Li Mingrui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the scholars who made trouble in front of the Ministry of Rites are now getting more and more intense, and they see that the Qian Pavilion is guarded by brocade clothes, and some people instigate them to raid Qian Qianyi's house, and even threaten to cry in front of the Confucian Sage in the Temple of Literature." ā
"This Fu Guan really doesn't stop if he doesn't achieve his goal", Zhu Youzheng said with a smile, but Xu Xianchun suddenly ran over: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the three million stone grain transported to Qindi was looted by the thieves, according to the spies, the thieves are good at field warfare, all of them are elite horses, 5,000 elite soldiers transporting grain were completely annihilated, and the general He Gang died by himself." ā
As soon as Xu Xianchun finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao was stunned, not only him, but Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen were also stunned.
Three million stone grain, this is the money that Zhu Youxiao saved from between his teeth and went to Liangguang Nanyang to buy back the grain, in order to prevent the people of Shaanxi from starving and rebelling, so as to avoid the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty from being attacked from both sides.
But no one expected that three million stone of grain would be looted!
Zhu Youxiao asked Cao Wenzhao to call in the most elite 5,000 Qin soldiers, and these Qin soldiers also knew that this batch of grain was for their villagers, so they would not fight to the death.
But the five thousand Qin soldiers were still wiped out by the thieves!
What kind of thief is this, so powerful, to annihilate one of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty today!
Then there is only one possibility, these thieves are not thieves.
The first to come back to his senses was Wang Chengen, and he couldn't help but say: "This is the food exchanged for the money of His Majesty's mausoleum, where did the thieves come from, and they dare to be so bold!" ā
"No, it's not a thief, Xu Xianchun, tell me the details first, why the five thousand elite soldiers were looted so easily, and how could there suddenly be such a strong thief around him, these are all doubts."
Zhu Youxiao, whose eyes were blood-red, held back the anger in his heart, clenched his fists and said.
