Chapter 34 Borrowing the Corpse to Resurrect the Soul Thirty-Four

Qin Tai said to Chen Yuan: "Do you think that I will come here to die without any preparation?" Can you believe it? Do you think I'm such a brainless person? To tell you honestly, Hu Zongxian's army has surrounded your base camp. Your various strongholds outside the palace have also been uprooted. The merchant ship you rented at the port under a pseudonym has also been seized, and your use of your power to sell the things of the Japanese has also become the most direct evidence for you. Hu Zongxian is coming to arrest you. ”

Chen Yuan's face became more and more ugly, but he still refused to admit defeat. He said inwardly: "What right does Hu Zongxian have to arrest me? What evidence do I have to prove that I am selling arms? It's a big deal to catch a few little eunuchs, and it won't implicate me. Besides, I am a town guard eunuch and a member of the palace, does a small magistrate dare to arrest me? What right does he have to arrest me? Even Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, has no right to arrest me. I was guarding the town of Nanjing on behalf of the emperor, and no one dared to touch me. ”

Just when Chen Yuan was proud, a very discordant voice came from outside the door, and a slightly old duck sounded, and when he heard it, he was an old eunuch. He said: "Qin Tai has no right to arrest you, Hu Zongxian has no right to arrest you, does the miscellaneous family have the right to arrest you?" ”

When Chen Yuan was taken aback, Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the person who spoke was Ma Ming, the eunuch of the Kunshan Military Camp. Ma Ming disguised himself as a porter and came to the old palace in Nanjing in the middle of Qin Tai and his party. Ma Ming spoke, indicating that the situation outside had been controlled by Ma Ming. It turned out that after Ma Ming knew that Chen Yuan had a problem, he knew that the decisive battle was going to be advanced. Directly as the eunuch of the Kunshan military camp, he ordered all the soldiers in the military camp to rush to Nanjing City in batches, except for a small number of soldiers who stayed behind. The main general led the people to rush to Nanjing City by land by marching army, and the deputy general led people to use all the warships to march to Nanjing City by water. Ma Ming chased after Qin Tai with his own pro-credit "running dead horse", and after meeting with Qin Tai, they entered Nanjing City together.

The Kunshan military camp, which was the guard and monitor the city of Nanjing, did not have the right to enter the city of Nanjing without permission. If you want to enter Nanjing City, you must inform Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangnan, and Chen Yuan, the eunuch who guards the town, in advance, and get their consent before entering Nanjing City. However, the soldiers of the Kunshan barracks, holding Hu Zongxian's token in one hand and the evidence of the crime of Chen Yuan, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, in the other, could justifiably enter the city of Nanjing. Hu Zongxian's local troops could not enter the old palace in Nanjing, and even Hu Zongxian dared to bring weapons into the old palace It was a capital crime. But the Kunshan military camp is different, they are forbidden troops, not only can they go straight in and out of the old palace, but they can also arrest people and take over the old palace.

After receiving Ma Ming's signal, the soldiers of the Kunshan military camp, who secretly entered the palace from all directions, took over the entire old palace with almost no troops. There were originally few guards in the old palace, and some of the "Han generals" who looked mighty were actually "paper tigers". Seeing the soldiers of the Kunshan military camp with real guys in their hands, they are more obedient than their grandsons. In just a short time, the Kunshan military camp has silently taken control of the old palace. While searching the various rooms, gathering all the eunuchs and palace maids, and guarding them with heavy troops, they surrounded the most important Chen Yuan's residence. There were only a few blockers along the way, but unfortunately the number of soldiers in the Kunshan barracks was too much compared to the blockers, and the blockers were immediately hacked to death with knives and stabbed to death. Some of the eunuchs who were scared and wanted to reprimand didn't dare to "fart" again. Eunuchs are not very spineless men, and since they entered the palace, they have lost any dignity. After years of tempering, all the fire and self-esteem are long gone, and all that remains is obedience and obedience. Greed for money, cowardice, and selfishness are always common diseases of eunuchs, so as long as someone dares to save face for the eunuch in front of the eunuch, these eunuchs who are usually arrogant in front of the common people will respect you and be afraid of you to listen to you.

When Ma Ming walked into Chen Yuan's room with a large group of soldiers from the Kunshan military camp, Chen Yuan still insisted on putting on the prestige of guarding the eunuchs, and said to them, "Who are you? Dare to besiege the palace? Rude to the miscellaneous family, the eunuch of Nanjing Town, who was personally appointed by the emperor, I don't know if it is a capital crime? ”

Ma Ming has changed into the "python robe" that Emperor Jiajing personally appreciated, this kind of clothes is not something that ordinary people can wear. In ancient times, there was a very strict hierarchy, and if it was violated, it was a crime of "great disrespect", which was regarded as a major crime of "bullying the king", and it was an extremely serious crime that the whole family should behead. The emperor is the ninety-five supreme, and all can wear dragon robes embroidered with nine dragons. The prince, like the vassal king, can only wear the dragon robe of a dragon. The crown prince was allowed to wear a dragon robe embroidered with three dragons. No one other than male members of the royal family is allowed to wear clothes embroidered with dragon patterns. Some ministers who have made great contributions or are particularly close to the emperor are given to wear "python robes". The difference between a "python robe" and a "dragon robe" is that the dragon has five claws, while the python has only four claws. In the entire dynasty of Emperor Jiajing, only a very few people such as Yan Song, the second assistant Xu Jie, and the eunuch Lu Fang, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the seal, were qualified to wear them. Ma Ming also wore this "python robe" for the first time in public, which is a symbol of supreme glory.

Ma Ming glanced at Chen Yuan contemptuously and said to him, "Sure enough, it's a Xibei product." Not only do you not know the miscellaneous family, but you don't even know the clothes of Hejia? Not to mention entering the Nanjing Imperial Palace, even the Forbidden City miscellaneous families in the capital also go straight in and out. Don't you know who they are? Does the Forbidden Army know? Didn't the forbidden army have the right to enter the palace? It seems that you, the fake town guard eunuch, are really unqualified. The miscellaneous family takes pity on you and teaches you to be well-behaved. These soldiers came from the Kunshan military camp and were part of the forbidden army under the Imperial Horse Prison. The task is to supervise the vassal kings and the eunuchs in Nanjing, that is to say, to manage eunuchs like you who violate the law and discipline. It's a pity that you are not a real eunuch, so I don't know where they came from. If it's a real eunuch, do you dare to make a loud noise in front of the miscellaneous family? Don't say you're a fake eunuch, a spy who has slipped into the eunuchs. Even if he is really a real eunuch, what about a eunuch guarding Nanjing? You collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, you killed your colleagues, and you tried to subvert my Ming Dynasty. All kinds of crimes, all of which are capital crimes, you should wait to be killed. ”

After speaking, he ignored Chen Yuan, who had lost his fighting spirit, and said to his subordinates: "Kill, kill all these people." As long as this fake town guard eunuch doesn't die, everyone else will be killed. The Ming Dynasty did not have so much rice and grain to feed these widows and traitors. Find out one kills the other, they know too many things to disgrace the royal family. Ma Ming's attitude is very firm, and Qin Tai is not easy to interfere. After all, these people are not ordinary people, they are all ** eunuchs. The news of the eunuchs' infiltration must not be leaked, let alone allowed to exist. The outside world's evaluation of eunuchs is already very bad, and if this matter is causing trouble, the eunuch's living space will be even smaller. Ma Ming, who knew this truth well, also had to raise the "butcher knife" in his hand to strangle this cancer that might endanger the entire eunuch team.

Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see the slaughter here, so they took Hu Zongxian's soldiers and horses to search for Xiao Lingzi and the "old drunkard" master, as well as Xiao Taohong's whereabouts. After searching, only Ah Yue and Little Peach were found who were already dying. Ah Yue is poisoned, and Xiao Taohong is hungry and faint. Ah Yue practiced with poison in order to maintain her good appearance, and without poison catalysis, Ah Yue would no longer be able to do it. Xiao Taohong couldn't do anything about Ah Yue's changes, and Qin Tai asked Hu Zongxian to help find the best doctor to see a doctor for Ah Yue to prolong her life.

At this time, Ma Ming sent someone to find Qin Tai, saying that Chen Yuan, the fake eunuch guarding the town, was looking for Qin Tai. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao returned to the old palace together and saw the fake Chen Yuan in the dungeon. Fake Chen Yuan made two conditions, the first is not to slaughter the eunuchs and palace maids in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and the second is to call a little eunuch named Xiaofuzi to talk to him. The quid pro quo was that he would tell everything and tell him all the fake eunuchs he knew and the list of eunuchs sent into the palace by the Japanese Kou.

After Qin Tai consulted with Ma Ming, he decided to agree to this person's request. This person first handed over the list of spies in the old palace of Nanjing, as well as the contact information and contact time of all known contact bases inside and outside Nanjing. After obtaining this information, which proved to be true, Ma Ming ordered a tentative massacre. and found Xiaofuzi to meet this fake Chen Yuan. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiao secretly watched this little eunuch who looked a little cowardly. Soon after, he inquired about all the information about this little fuzi, and Xiao Fuzi didn't know this town guard eunuch Chen Yuan at all, and Xiao Fuzi was not a real little eunuch. It is said that Xiaofuzi was the illegitimate child of a palace maid in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and no one knew who his father was. The palace maid secretly gave birth to a child and secretly raised it in the palace. If the old palace wasn't big enough and there were few people, this matter would have been discovered a long time ago. Xiaofuzi replaced a young eunuch who died young, and became a person who could appear in front of people. This little Fuzi's mother died a year ago, and Xiao Fuzi couldn't help crying, so that everyone knew the truth of this matter. However, Chen Yuan, the eunuch guarding the town, ordered at that time that no one should discuss this matter and the mother and son, otherwise they would be killed on the spot, so no one dared to mention this matter. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, and couldn't help but associate Xiaofuzi with this fake Chen Yuan, could it be that this Xiaofuzi is Chen Yuan's son? This fake town guard eunuch Chen Yuan is not a eunuch, and Xiao Fuzi's age is just about the same time as Chen Yuan came to Nanjing, could it be that Chen Yuan and Xiao Fuzi's mother had an affair to have Xiao Fuzi?

There are really a lot of things that I didn't expect, and not long after Xiaofuzi and the fake Chen Yuan met, something happened. Xiao Fuzi actually killed this man who may be his biological father with his own hands. Just because this man said a word, fake Chen Yuan said that he was Xiaofuzi's father, and asked Xiaofuzi to call himself "Dad". Xiaofuzi clearly remembers that his mother was unhappy since he was a child, and sometimes lost his temper at Xiaofuzi for no reason. Once in Xiaofuzi's mother's sleep, Xiaofuzi heard a terrifying thing. Xiaofuzi's mother is a palace maid, and she is a palace maid who voluntarily enters the palace. According to the rules of the palace, as long as you voluntarily enter the palace as a palace maid, the palace maid who has not been fortunate by the emperor in the palace can leave the palace after reaching the age of twenty-five. Xiaofuzi's mother is in the old palace in Nanjing, of course, she can't see the emperor, as long as she is twenty-five years old, she can leave this indifferent palace, return to her parents, and find a man to live a peaceful life in the future. But one night, the palace maid on duty at night encountered the biggest disaster in her life, a man not only raped her, but also made her pregnant. Even if an unchaste woman leaves the palace, where can she go? How can an unmarried woman with children live? The palace maid hated herself, and she hated the man who didn't even see her face clearly. Xiaofuzi swore that he would avenge his mother and kill the ruthless and unrighteous man. Since Xiaofuzi's mother died, Xiaofuzi's hatred for this man has become even greater, and he carries a knife all the time, ready to kill this man.

Zhan Xiaoxiao took away Xiaofuzi, who was already insane, such a small child killed a person with his own hands, and this person is his biological father, how many people can bear this kind of blow? Xiaofuzi is still a child, of course he can't bear it. Qin Tai hurriedly treated the fake Chen Yuan's injuries, but the fake Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, this is my retribution." All my things are written in this letter, and everything you need to know is in it. The rest I can't say, I really can't tell you. Qin Tai, I have to admit that you are the biggest enemy in my life and my most respected opponent. I beg you finally, don't torture Xiaofuzi. This child is too bitter, and he has suffered enough grievances. If you don't, you might as well give him a good time, I thank you. After saying that, he bit his tongue and killed himself.

Qin Tai really didn't agree, Xiaofuzi was not only crazy, but also his son and the child of a palace maid. This kind of person will definitely not stay in the world, even if Qin Tai wants to protect him, Ma Ming will not agree, the eunuchs of the celebrant will not agree, and Emperor Jiajing will not agree.
