Xiao Xiao was nervous
Zhou Wen didn't even expect that the old thief would think of giving him a clean body to smelt him, and he was stupid all of a sudden.
"Net ...... Pure eunuch? This...... If I become a eunuch, how can I serve the prime minister? How can there be a eunuch who is an official? Zhou Wenlian spoke at this time, and his voice had involuntarily become hoarse and sharp.
Prime Minister Luan Cheng smiled and said: "You saved my life, I naturally think about you with any good things, I think, let you follow me to wronged you, be by my side for me to be born and die, in case you are not careful, you will lose your head, if you are an official, you have to fight by yourself with a knife and a gun, it is not easy to be on top, now the court is turbulent, the party and government competition situation is in crisis, if you are not careful, sometimes you will be stumped by others for no reason, so, in order to prevent so many accidents from happening, I have found a better way out for you." ”
"Is it purification?" Zhou Wenlian said tremblingly.
Prime Minister Luan smiled even more happily: "There is nothing better than this." When you are clean, I can send you to the palace, I can discuss with the prince, so that he intends to promote you, you will soon be able to become the personal eunuch next to the prince, in the future the prince will be the emperor, you will be the big celebrity around the emperor, as long as you do a good job and take care of the prince wholeheartedly, what do you want and can't get it? As long as you take this knife, you can avoid many knives, and enjoy endless glory and wealth all the way! ”
Zhou Wen hurriedly turned over, rolled into the distance and said: "Prime Minister, the villain only wants to find an official and a half-job, but he doesn't want to cut off his children and grandchildren. Prime Minister, the villain is not afraid to follow your side to be born and die, nor is he afraid to fight for his life in the court, no matter how turbulent the situation is, the villain is willing to follow the Prime Minister's arrangement with all his strength, and ask the Prime Minister to become a villain. ”
Prime Minister Luan waved his hand, and four strong men with bare shoulders and big waists came in the dark, two of them supported his shoulders, one of them grabbed his legs, and the three of them worked together to lift him up.
Zhou Wenlian was really panicked now, and immediately cried wolf: "No, no, no, don't." Prime Minister, I'm here to help you, we are our own family, you can't do this to me! ”
He was lifted and pressed onto a plank bed with ropes just enough to hold him in place and his legs. The three big men went to bring over all the oil lamps in the torture room and put them next to Zhou Wenlian, shining his whole body brightly, and another big man opened a cloth scroll beside him, which contained a few knives, a medicine box, and a basin of water.
Zhou Wenlian trembled in panic, he really hated himself for refusing to learn martial arts from Xiao Wei because of laziness and face, otherwise he wouldn't have to suffer this humiliation today!
"Prime Minister, if you have to do this, you might as well kill me directly!" Zhou Wenlian knew that he couldn't hide, so he didn't have to grovel in front of him, so he shouted directly.
Prime Minister Luan raised his eyebrows: "What, you came to ask the prime minister to seek a future for you?" You keep saying that you want to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for me, but now you are like this in front of you, it can be seen that you are not sincere. Even if the Prime Minister ordered you to do this, would you say yes? ”
Zhou Wenlian hadn't lost the quarrel, he raised his eyebrows, and said: "The prime minister also kept saying that he wanted to repay me for saving my life, but now he is here to treat the villain like this, which shows that the prime minister is not sincere." The villain can die for the prime minister, but the villain is a person who has studied, and it is absolutely impossible to be a eunuch, where is the prime minister doing this to reuse the villain, it is clearly humiliating the villain, the villain is not convinced, the prime minister still gives the villain a good time, even if it is for the sake of the villain who saved the prime minister, leave a whole corpse for the villain! Otherwise, if you don't kill me, I'll kill myself!" The villain is bent on taking refuge in the prime minister, if even the prime minister doesn't trust the villain, then even if the villain walks out of the prime minister's mansion safely today, there will be no more future, and the villain is willing to die! ”
Prime Minister Luan said: "Then you will die!" ”
The strong man with the knife moved the knife to his throat.
How could Zhou Wenlian really die, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Oh, Prime Minister, what do you want me to say to believe me? I know you don't want to kill me, do you, or why wait until now? You...... You're going to use the knife on me just to confirm that what I'm saying is true or false, right? Lord, I can still serve you if I leave my life, killing me is just letting you have many lives under you, and there is no proof of death, what should I do if the prince doesn't admit it? You can't cleanse me, or you...... I'll bite my tongue and kill myself! ”
As he spoke, he pretended to bite his tongue, and Luan Xiang on the side hurriedly said, "Don't bite!" He said to the prime minister: "Father, you can't let him die, he can't run out anyway, let's let people monitor the palace first, and report anything immediately." Otherwise, when he arrives at the court, with the mouth of the prince and the emperor's favor, it is easy for him to turn things around, and even bite back. ”
Prime Minister Luan snorted and said, "Okay, then I'll deal with you when we find out the truth." Untie him first, escort him out, and lock him in the firewood room! ”
Prime Minister Luan and Luan Xiang went out, and when Zhou Wenlian was escorted out, his legs were weak. He hated himself for being useless, but he also admired his wit. But it's true to be in a hurry, and it's also true to be afraid.
He felt that he might have lived comfortably for too long, that little bit of blood back then was gone, and the most important thing was that he felt as if he was really useless.
"No! I must find a way to do something, I must be a big official and hold a lot of power! ”
The chariots and horses that sent the county lord out of the city finally left the city in Shen. Zhaohua was put on sweat medicine and slept in the car, and Master Yue wore the clothes of a family member to drive the carriage. The carriage was moving slowly, and the people who accompanied him were also walking on foot, and when it was about to get dark, a tall black horse suddenly appeared on the road ahead, and immediately a son, it was Lin Yan, the second son of the Lin family.
Behind Lin Yan were more than ten men standing, all dressed as merchants, but all of them were tall, slender waists, and sharp eyes, obviously all of them had kung fu.
Seeing Lin Yan, Master Yue stopped the carriage and beckoned to Lin Yan. Lin Yan trotted over and asked in a low voice, "Is the county lord inside?" Yue Lin nodded.
Lin Yan said loudly to the servants of the palace: "Everyone, I won't hide it now. The prince asked everyone to follow the county lord's carriage out, in fact, he wanted everyone to leave the capital and leave the palace. Yue Lin took out a stack of papers from his arms and said: "This is the deed of sale signed by everyone at the beginning, there is something in the palace, the prince does not want to implicate everyone, this deed of sale will be invalid from now on, and it will be returned to everyone, and everyone will have nothing to do with the palace. ”
All the servants exclaimed, and the housekeeper was so anxious that he almost shed tears, and stepped forward and said angrily: "Master Yue, I knew that there was something going on in the palace, but the prince has always refused to say it, and the difficulty of coming to the palace must be because of Prime Minister Luan, if I had known this, we would not have abandoned the palace!" ”
Everyone said:
"The prince treats me like a mountain, am I still a human being if I just leave?"
"The prince saved my life, I won't leave!"
"The prince saved my parents' lives and avenged my family to fight a lawsuit against the bullies, and I won't leave."
"The prince taught me to read, write, and practice martial arts, I am an orphan, I think he is the closest person in my heart, I can't leave the palace if it is in trouble!"
"The prince taught me to be reasonable, I was a rich man who lost all his net worth in gambling, and it was the prince who saved me from living on the streets, taught me to be reasonable, taught me to be a man, taught me to take care of myself, taught me to work, I will never forget, I swept the yard for him for a month, he came to check every day, and after the end of January, when the first monthly money was put in my hands, I ...... I decided that he would be my father from now on! My own father was angry with me, I think this is God giving me another chance to let me be filial to him, although I am terrible, but I will not leave. ”
Everyone was clamoring, Lin Gongzi turned over and dismounted and persuaded: "Everyone, the prince has his own plans, everyone will listen to his arrangement, go home quickly, the prince has his own way to get out, everyone must believe in the wisdom of the prince." ”
Someone asked, "Where is the county lord going?" ”
Lin Yan said: "Where the county lord goes, I can't tell you." This matter is confidential, and in order to ensure that the prince and the county lord are safe, they can only hide it. ”
Everyone looked down at each other, not knowing what to do, Yue Lin hugged his fists and persuaded: "Everyone, this place is not far from the capital, if Luan's old thief's people want to chase it, they will soon chase it, we have to quickly take the county lord to escape first." The prince has explained, if you want to help the prince, strictly abide by the secret of the county lord's escape in the future, and after returning home, you will keep to yourself, do what you should do, and do not violate your conscience and morality, it is the greatest reward for him. ”
The housekeeper sighed, and said with tears in his eyes: "We are also afraid of disrupting the prince's plan, so we have to follow the arrangement." We will pray for the prince and the lord of the county, and may they live a long and blessed life. After saying that, Yue Lin took a deep look, and Yue Lin hurriedly supported him.
The housekeeper turned his head to everyone again: "Let's disperse, let's disperse, hurry, don't let the old thief Luan catch up!" ”
Everyone reluctantly said goodbye and left.
Night has fallen, and the weather is not very good today, it will be cloudy all day, and it will get dark earlier than usual. Although it has reached the twilight of spring, once it gets cold, it also penetrates the bone marrow.
The figures of the servants dispersed in all directions in the blink of an eye, Master Yue mixed with them all day long, although there were few topics that could be talked about together, but they could also meet every day, and now they were all scattered, I don't know when I would see them again, and my heart couldn't help but feel a little empty. I thought of the current depression in King Gu's mansion, and I couldn't help but sigh, I had a thousand words in my heart, I didn't know how to express it, and finally it turned into two words: "Let's go." ”
He jumped into the carriage, Lin Yan also got on the horse, and the group went farther overnight and disappeared into the night.
The rain began to fall in a dripping manner, and it was not small, and the horseshoe prints of the wheel footprints were quickly washed away on the yellow mud road, which was originally dusty due to drought, as if nothing had happened on this road.
