Qin Tai held the portrait of Taizu Hong Wuye Zhu Yuanzhang, and took his subordinate Li Li all the way inside. Tan Da and a few old eunuchs followed behind Qin Tai, and a large group of forbidden soldiers and some low-status eunuchs dispersed. But the old eunuch who had just ordered the attack disappeared in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know where he had gone.

It turns out that this old eunuch has a lot of background, and his name is Li Fulai. He is a serious 800 "strong eunuch", and the so-called "strong eunuch" is a eunuch who knows kung fu. They must meet several requirements in order to be "strong eunuchs". First, they must enter the palace from an early age, and have a special guarantor to ensure their innocence. Second, absolute loyalty, loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the eunuch of the master of ceremonies. Third, this eunuch must not know how to read. Fourth, the "strong eunuch" cannot have anything to do with other eunuchs in the palace, so there can be no godfather or brother in the palace.

In fact, the "strong eunuch" belongs directly to the emperor himself, and he is a person who specializes in protecting the emperor and several important people. They have been practicing kung fu since childhood, and the most powerful and effective is hand-to-hand kung fu. Because there are rules in the imperial palace, in order to prevent anyone from assassinating the emperor at close range, the emperor is not allowed to carry weapons in close proximity. Therefore, what the "strong eunuchs" have practiced since childhood is empty-handed grappling fighting, hard qigong and protective qi. They were usually just ordinary eunuchs, and only a few big eunuchs and the emperor in the Qianqing Palace knew their identities. When in danger, they had to not only arrest the Assassins, but also protect the Emperor. Sometimes it's a meat target for the emperor to block swords and hidden weapons. Therefore, if you want to approach or assassinate the emperor, you must first deal with these "strong eunuchs" who do not want to die.

When the "strong eunuchs" are old, or promoted, there is only one place for them to go, and that is the notorious Dongchang. It gradually became a vicious circle, Dongchang selected a group of their favorite little eunuchs to join the "strong eunuch" training, became a "strong eunuch" and then went to the emperor to work, and then went to Dongchang to take up a job after a few years, enjoying the glory and wealth that ordinary people could not enjoy.

When Li Laifu entered the palace, it was the last years of Emperor Zhengde, because there were too many children in the family, and his wife could not support too many children, so he had to sell his son who was in better health to the landlord's family. Unexpectedly, Li Laifu was sold into the palace and could never return home. What Li Laifu hates most is not his mother who sold him, but the gambler father who only knows how to gamble every day. Therefore, what Li Laifu hates most is gambling, and he is very angry every time he sees a eunuch who gambles money. It's a pity that he was sold and lost his dignity as a man, and this little money didn't save his brothers and sisters in the family. The eldest brother died of exhaustion on the road, and the elder sister choked to death because she ate too much bark and couldn't digest it. My sister and younger brother didn't last long, and they starved at home one by one, waiting for death. The gambler's father came back and saw the only handful of chaff in the house, which was the only thing Li Laifu could eat at home. This gambler dad actually ignored his wife and children, and ate all the chaff that everyone was reluctant to eat. Li Laifu's old lady didn't have the strength to stop it, and she didn't stop it, she had lost all hope for this husband. Soon after, several of Li Laifu's younger siblings died, and Li Laifu's mother dragged her crumbling body and buried the children. When she knew that Li Laifu was not sold to the landlord's house, but would never come back, Li Laifu's wife lost all hope of survival. What Li Laifu didn't expect happened, the child who had just been buried was poached. Li Laifu's old lady frantically searched, and finally saw a group of people eating her child's corpse in a house not far away. They had men and women, adults and children, and they cut the dead children into large pieces and boiled them in pots. Li Laifu's old lady was completely crazy, she grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed at this group of enemies who ate her children's flesh. When everyone scattered, fled, and dispersed, Li Laifu's wife was already dead. But before she died, she stabbed a man who was eating her child's flesh, and this man turned out to be her gambler husband. Li Laifu's gambler father may not know when he dies that the meat he eats will be his own child's meat, and because he ate his own child's meat, he was hacked to death by his wife with a kitchen knife. Soon the bodies of the husband and wife were gone, not buried by well-wishers, but in the bellies of a large group of hungry people without reason and humanity.

Li Laifu only learned about this incident many years later, when Li Laifu, who was already a eunuch in Dongchang, issued a death order to kill all the residents within a radius of 20 miles from his hometown. He asked these people to bury their old mothers. I couldn't find an enemy who ate my wife and my brothers and sisters, so I had to kill all the people here. After killing all the people here, Li Laifu will have no hometown.

Li Laifu has been relatively big since he was a child, but he is quite stubborn. He was only seven years old when he first entered the palace, and because he had no backstage and no acquaintances, he was dragged out to work shortly after castration. Since the wound did not heal completely, the wound bleed incessantly every time it was forced. The most painful thing for Li Laifu is that every time he is relieved, he almost sprinkles blood and urine together. But he was stubborn and never bowed his head to anyone, even if he was tortured to death by some little eunuchs, he still refused to bow his head and admit defeat. A ** manager inadvertently found him, shook his head and said that this child must be wasted, and this temper must not survive in ** in the future. But the other eunuch did not speak, and this eunuch was very optimistic about this little child. He secretly sent Li Laifu to the imperial dining room and asked Li Laifu to chop firewood. It's a very hard job, even adults can't stand it, but Li Laifu thinks that this job is very suitable for him. Li Laifu, who is not very sociable, always offends others and is always beaten, and it is very good for Li Laifu not to be beaten here. This eunuch turned out to be the deputy head of the imperial dining room, and he sent Li Laifu to the imperial dining room to chop firewood, and he did it for three years. Although Li Laifu, who is already ten years old, has been castrated, which affects his physical development, he has considerable strength because of long-term chopping wood. Under the protection of the deputy head of the imperial dining room, Li Laifu successfully became an alternate "strong eunuch" and received devil training in the special training place of the "strong eunuch". Because Li Laifu was born with good conditions and trained in the imperial dining room for three years, he was the best one in the same class. Soon he was sent to serve as a guard for Emperor Jiajing, when Emperor Jiajing was young and vigorous, and often secretly went in and out of the land of fireworks, so Li Laifu became a famous thug by Emperor Jiajing's side.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, because Li Laifu was irritable by nature, there was no backstage, and Emperor Jiajing was a very forgetful emperor, so he immediately forgot about this "strong eunuch" who often stood out for himself. Li Laifu has only one benefactor in the palace, that is, the deputy head of the imperial dining room who transferred him to the imperial dining room. But because he offended several eunuchs who were the chief eunuchs, he was not only framed and removed from his position as deputy chief manager, but also forced to recover the debts that he did not have at all. When Li Laifu heard that his benefactor was beaten to the ground by a group of little eunuchs, he left the Qianqing Palace without hesitation. When he woke up the deputy governor, a large group of eunuchs also arrived. The celebrant supervises all the eunuchs in the palace, and Li Laifu, as a "strong eunuch", has committed a taboo by leaving without permission when he is on duty. The eunuch Hu Da took the opportunity to teach Li Laifu a good lesson. When Li Laifu was a "strong eunuch", not only did he not cooperate with Eunuch Hu, but because several of Eunuch Hu's godsons concentrated on gambling, Li Laifu beat up a lot of Eunuch Hu's people. Eunuch Hu will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity, so he is ready to make a death attack on Li Laifu.

The deputy chief who knew Eunuch Hu's intentions reminded Li Laifu to be careful. Li Laifu immediately understood the meaning of his benefactor, and he was crazy when he knew that Eunuch Hu had a personal vendetta. Soon after, the entire palace knew about this Li Laifu, because Li Laifu killed the eunuch Hu and several of his subordinates. Dare to kill people in the palace, and kill a eunuch who is the master of ceremonies, this is a big thing. The celebrant is like the cabinet in the middle of the court, the eunuch with the palm seal is equal to the first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, and although the four eunuchs have their own division of labor, their status is equivalent to that of the cabinet elders. Li Laifu broke into a big disaster this time, and no one dared to help him anymore.

Just as Emperor Jiajing was about to order the punishment of Li Laifu, the first eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the governor of Dongchang, Lu Fang, said that Li Laifu was a talent. Lu Fang, who had just taken over the East Factory, found that there were many rice buckets and many people who took money in the East Factory, but there were few people who could do things and few people who could take responsibility. If Li Laifu can enter the East Factory, he will definitely be able to restore the reputation of the East Factory with his thunderbolt methods and strong kung fu. Emperor Jiajing had absolute faith in Lu Fang, so he handed over Li Laifu to Lu Fang. Lü Fang ordered Li Laifu to serve as the head of the Dongchang Punishment Division, and specially trained the eunuchs who tortured and interrogated prisoners, and had a certain right to deal with some eunuchs who committed crimes. Li Laifu became a famous "evil tiger" in the East Factory and even in the palace. Ten years ago, Li Laifu offended the ministers because of the investigation of a major case, and in order not to completely turn his face with the minister, Lu Fang had to abandon Li Laifu. Li Laifu was sent to Qianqiu Pavilion by Lu Fang and became a steward eunuch here.

When Qin Tai appeared, Li Laifu knew that things were not good. Especially Cao Da, a boy who is usually submissive, dared to press himself to the ground with his bare hands. It can be seen that Cao Da is also a master, but why didn't Lu Fang write to mention it to him? Did Lu Fang start to disbelieve in himself, or did he have a back-up move from the beginning? But no matter what, Qin Tai can't be allowed to find too many secrets. Everything in the Qianqiu Pavilion is Lu Fang's secret and cannot be known to outsiders. Otherwise, even if Emperor Jiajing didn't pursue it, the chief manager Lu Fang would not let them go.
