Chapter 12: Jumping into the fire pit

"Our family is a five-grade eunuch, please ask the team leader to come forward and talk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

The voice of the righteous eunuch was neither high nor low, and it should have been drowned out silently in the noise of this shower, but it was sprinkled in every corner of the county office, and it was naturally heard by everyone really and, including Zhang Hong, the leader of the six doors who had been washed away by the rain with blood in his ears, including Xu Zhi, the county commander who was in high spirits and looking forward to reporting auspiciousness, including Zhu Ding, who was twisting his butt and climbing down.

Although Zhang Hong's ears were shaken by the roar of the huge explosion, he lost his sense of hearing for a moment, but after all these times, he had eased up somewhat, and he could hear some sounds, at least he heard the eunuch's distant soft drink, so he trembled a little, some incredulous, some confused, and then ecstasy, as if for the rest of his life, for himself and for his fifty brothers.

Just when Zhang Hong was excited, trembling, holding his saber, and standing up from the edge of the muddy flame abyss, a figure jumped over with a speed faster than that of him, a senior head catcher with no low force value, and flew in front of the righteous eunuch.

"Xu Zhi, the lowly commander of Bapin County, Fengyang Town, has seen his father-in-law." Bent his waist and back, grinning to the root of his ears, his hands arching up and down like a well-trained puppy, where is there a scholar, a parent official, living off a servile virtue.

"Please catch you!"

Ignoring, Chi Guoguo's ignorance, the righteous father-in-law still bent his body as if he could no longer stand up straight, he did not withdraw his waist card, his hands retracted his sleeves with some shaking, his eyes were level, as if he was looking into the distance, and he seemed to have no focus, but he was just emptying his mind and had transcended everything in front of him.

What the old eunuch has detached and what he has realized is naturally unknown to others, but anyone can see that at least he has detached Xu Xianling from his world, and more precisely, there has never been the dust of Xu Xianling in his world.

"Ahem, this father-in-law, poof, you see the wind and rain outside, poof, there is lightning raging, poof, why don't you catch Zhang Da with you, bah, poof, let's talk to the inner government together!"

It is true that the eunuch is a eunuch, in principle, a personal servant belonging to the royal family, and a five-rank minister, no matter in terms of rank and residence, he is much higher than Xu Zhi, but even if he is a great eunuch with a very high grade like Wei Zhongxian and Liu Jin in later generations, in Zhu Yuanzhang's dynasty, he was just an eunuch, a slave, and they were officials who were born as serious scribes, and Xu Zhi could even ignore this eunuch who did not explain that he carried the will of the saint.

After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, summed up the experience of the previous dynasty, and paid great attention to preventing the harem, relatives, and eunuchs from interfering in politics.

Just because the family is a relative, connected with an official in a remote area, and forcibly occupied a few acres of land, Dong Guiren's family from his father Dong 89 and 18 people were all assigned to Lingnan, and they were not allowed to return to the Central Plains for life if they were not pardoned, and Dong Guiren was even given a roll of white silk hanging beams in the dormitory, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless in dealing with these things.

A high-ranking concubine is still like this, not to mention a crippled person like a righteous eunuch, even if Xu Zhi is only a subordinate official of the county yamen now, he can completely ignore the righteous eunuch who has not explained the duties of the expatriate, let alone such a grovel.

But Xu Zhi did this, and he did it undignified, he saw the eunuch Yi standing in the rain without shelter, and even snatched the rain gear from the official who was holding an umbrella for him beside him, bent over, showed a smiling face with difficulty, and handed the umbrella to the head of the eunuch.

Xu Zhi, who was exposed to the wind and rain, almost pulled his neck and was polite to the righteous eunuch, from time to time bald a few handfuls of rain on his face, and almost choked half to death after a few words, which look like the county order should have, and he was more like a slave than the righteous eunuch.

Fengyang night rain, the red day is auspicious, this is a great auspicious omen, at this time he has been blinded by lard, how can he still care about what parents' official reputation, scribe style and bones, etc., he is full of thoughts to use the fastest speed to contribute this great auspicious rui to today, and at this time, there is a eunuch here, a servant next to the emperor.

And his piece of "hard work" finally moved the eunuch who had been in his eyes, Xu Zhi was full of excitement to see the rickety thin old man, and slowly stretched out his hand to him, Xu Zhi saw not only a hand, but also the fame of Xiangrui after being dedicated to the world and the future of Huang Tengda!

Zhang Hong staggered forward in the sudden rain, his face was like a dead face, only there was a little hope in his eyes, and only in his ears was the echo of "our family is a five-grade minister", this was him, the last chance to catch the head of these fifty or so six doors, he believed that this eunuch must be the supervisor sent by the nobles in Beijing to supervise their mission.

If it is in the past, such a supervisor is just a small five-grade, even if it is a third-grade royal secret guard, what is he afraid of, when it comes to investigating cases and investigating crimes, how much of this entire criminal department can compare with him?

As long as the eunuch does not hinder him from investigating the case, he will choose to ignore and turn his back on the things of his ancestors, which is not worthy of respect.

But now, this eunuch has become his only hope, like a soul that is falling towards the Infernal Abyss clinging to the last ray of weak light.

However, in the end, he was disappointed and even the deepest despair.

Zhang Hong saw the old eunuch, slowly stretched out his hand to Xu Zhi, snatched the umbrella from Xu Zhi's hand, and shielded one of the five children from the wind and rain.

Zhang Hong stopped staggering, and he stared at the old eunuch with incredible eyes, the old eunuch held an umbrella, for the young man who came to rob the prison tonight.

The old eunuch looked at him with a blank expression.

So, Zhang Hong understood, he stopped staggering, slowly but firmly raised his right hand, and then pressed down heavily!

It was only at this time that he sadly discovered that the subordinates who were chatting and laughing only a quarter of an hour ago had been reduced by nine, so that they could not even put up a Doumen battle formation that needed seventy-seven forty-nine people to make up.

The abyss, which was still spewing blue flames, not only annihilated their hope of life, but also devoured his nine subordinates, nine robes and brothers who lived and died together.

Zhang Hong is just a martial artist with the simplest resume, he is not a scribe official like Xu Zhi who reads poetry and books, but at such a moment, he is much more rational and calm than the unorthodox jinshi Xu Zhi.

He stood in the rain with his saber in his hand, feeling that little bit of heat with all his strength gradually leaving him, he looked at the old eunuch and the five young nobles, his heart was full of bitterness, today's events, from any point of view, are a mortal situation.

He has even now decided that this is a conspiracy of death and life, whether the child can survive tonight or not, he and his people have only one way to die, this is a contest between a certain or some powerful people and the increasingly authoritative His Majesty, otherwise, how can there be a eunuch who protects the "suspect".

Ten thousand steps back, even if they capture those five nobles who caused chaos, what can they do? The child has already flown into the sky or died in the fire, and they and their families will bury the child!

Zhang Hong weakly lowered the hand that was raised because of inertia, no longer gave orders, and once again collapsed to the ground, like a desperate girl who had been through the wind and rain, powerless to make any resistance.

He is a warrior who crawled out of the pile of the dead, and he is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that death is not clear.

Thirty-nine people who caught the door quickly saw Zhang Hong's condition, and after a short period of astonishment, they split into two teams, one of which was only six people, Zhang Hong's old subordinates, who had followed him for many years and knew this boss quite well, and stood behind him silently, and began to feel apprehensive in his heart, and began to guess some things.

The other part is just the elite who were temporarily transferred, while sneering at Zhang Hong, they quickly outflanked the righteous eunuch and a few children, the suspect may have been blown up into a scumbag, they need someone to find an explanation for this matter, who else would be more suitable than those children?

Zhang Hong sat paralyzed in the ankle-deep muddy water, his thoughts kept flying, wanting to fly in the sky to find a door to life, but the sky was only filled with thick black clouds, allowing him to rush left and right but only struggling in the thunder and lightning, so his face that did not have much blood became more and more pale.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the struggle between the powerful has not stopped, a small person like Zhang Hong, I don't know how many people have been ruined because of the entanglement of the upper echelons of the nobles, and he has many colleagues who have disappeared mysteriously, causing trouble to his parents, wives and daughters, he thinks that now it is his turn, but he is powerless to stop it, and his loyalty and awe to the emperor even make him unable to give birth to the idea of running away to the end of the world.

The righteous eunuch and the five tigers have already exchanged hands again with the six doors that came forward, but because of the lack of powerful deployment, and they dare not really cast a killing move, although several children are inevitably injured, but these shops are eliminated from the melee at a very fast speed, the old hands of the righteous eunuch seem to be tireless and dance gently, and the Dao Dao fingers and shadows are catching fast one by one or are unloaded and fall to the ground wailing, or stand on the spot.

There is not much fireworks, and there is no hard shouting of kung fu, as if the righteous eunuch is not fighting, but dancing a somewhat feminine and wonderful dance.

The five tigers are no longer fighting, they have been attracted by the fighting methods of the righteous eunuchs, and there is a faint kind of power in their bodies, but the cruising of the limbs and hundreds of bones is unbearable.

It was a battle between a man and thirty-three seasoned veterans, and it was a magical song of a rainy night, even if it was a white-haired old man who was bowing down, but it was even more powerful.

Even, even Zhang Hong, who was in despair, felt that the underwater ground, as if in response to the steps of the old eunuch, began to tremble slightly.

Heavy rain splashed on the sandy ground that had been trampled into mud, bounced up patches of hazy mist, and caused countless ripples to break.

The tremor was intense, and the rumbling sound from the depths of the town could be clearly heard from the fact that the skills were slightly inferior to those of the five tigers, and several children stood unsteadily, as if it was just a breath of effort, everyone in the field stopped in shock, and a sturdy figure wrapped in a large curtain of water, as if rushing out in the boundless darkness, suddenly appeared in the battle circle, and without even his action, a few catchers ten steps away from him in the outer layer of the circle were swept away by the water vapor in his face between the ups and downs of his footsteps!

The figure like a demon god had almost reached the end, and still had no intention of stopping, a shadow was casually thrown towards the righteous eunuch by him, and then he rushed towards the sea of fire in the rain at a faster speed, the deep pit that still swallowed the dark blue flames.

This is a veritable fire jumping pit, he is just like a god and a demon, not a real god and demon, even if it seems from the momentum that he is one of the super-first-class masters who stand at the peak of martial arts in this world, but if he falls into that fire pit, he is also dead.

However, what is even more amazing is that there are also several figures tightly behind him, the same indomitable, rushing towards the fire pit!
