The little eunuch nodded in response, then took out a cloth bag and poured out the contents.

Paper bags the size of teeth were scattered all over the table, and the palace people were a little puzzled, not knowing what it was.

"This is highly poisonous, put it in your teeth, if you really can't survive any torture, you can cut yourself off."

As soon as Xiao Liuzi's words came out, there was no noise of dissatisfaction, and everyone took out the small package of poison and stuffed it into the innermost teeth.

When life and death were suddenly so close, everyone felt heavy for the first time, although they also needed to be cautious everywhere in the palace on weekdays, and they would be beaten and scolded at the least, and they would lose their lives at the worst.

But there was no silence and silence that came from this moment.

Maybe it was from the moment Xiao Liuzi made his move, everyone knew that they had no way out, and they were ready to break the cauldron and fight against the water, or, from the bottom of their hearts, they regarded themselves as heroes who sacrificed themselves to protect the Lord, when this kind of thought filled their minds, they invisibly gave everyone strength, this kind of power is far from gold and silver treasures, and the position of power can be shaken.

The temptations of the outside world cannot shake him, and the piercing pain cannot make him die, this is human nature.

Although Xiao Liuzi's methods are cruel, at this time of desperation, they inspire the humanity in everyone's heart.

Looking at the silent crowd, Xiao Liuzi's eyes also reddened slightly.

He is not a person who likes to take a shelf, and he has a good relationship with many people on weekdays, as the master said, it is better to give gold and silver than to give it sincerely, but at this moment, looking at their uncertain future, life and death are confused, he also feels sad.

"The master will definitely come back, if life and death are separated this time, we will meet again in the next life." Xiao Liuzi said softly.

Everyone's eyes were red, and the previous fear gradually dissipated, but everyone became more and more determined.

Dispose of the bloody corpse on the ground, and the atmosphere on his back has not yet dissipated, and the guards led by Chunliu hurried over.

Chunliu swept the gold ingots on the table, and sneered in his heart, didn't he really think that these gold and silver jewels could firmly control everyone's mouth? She didn't believe it, and no one would confess under the punishment.

"I have heard the name of my father-in-law for a long time, and my father-in-law's action is really extraordinary." Chunliu said with a smile.

"Aunt Chunliu visited late at night, I don't know what's going on?"

"The queen mother is ordered by His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of Concubine Luo, and I also ask all the people in Luoyue Palace to go with me."

Chunliu raised his hand, and the guards behind him rushed out and suppressed everyone one after another: "Take it away!" ”

Because there were a lot of people in the palace, they were placed in several tents, but no matter where they were, there was no difference, nothing more than tied to the torture rack, waiting for the greetings of various torture instruments.

The queen sat on a green silk soft chair, and her fingers with long glass armor sets were holding a tea cup in the style of golden chrysanthemums, and her beautiful nails flashed with her movements.

"You are the father-in-law Sheng next to Concubine Luo's sister?" The queen looked at the little six sons who were tied to the torture rack, and said quietly.

"The queen has won the award, and the slave is the little sixth son."

"Since you are, this palace will get straight to the point. Now a guard has come to report, saying that the disappearance of Concubine Luo's sister is related to His Royal Highness the Nine, and there are even rumors that the two have fornicated and left, I wonder if Gonggong Sheng knows where Concubine Luo's sister went? ”

The torture instrument exuded a strong smell of rust, which made people uncomfortable, and it was even more surprisingly incongruous when mixed with the fragrance of tea in the queen's hand.

"Concubine Luo Niangniang hunted for Concubine Rou Niangniang early this morning, and she never returned, how could the slave know where Niangniang went?"

The queen's red lips hooked up a light smile, which is also the reason why she must bite Concubine Luo's fornication, once this crime is confirmed, Concubine Rou, who can not attend for some reason, will lend her riding clothes to Concubine Luo, and she will become a so-called accomplice, and the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone is not easy to come by.

The queen clapped her hands, and two small boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were presented in front of Xiao Liuzi, and the queen spoke: "This palace knows that His Royal Highness the Ninth has a great relationship with Concubine Luo's sister, and he must have heard of it on Sheng Gong's fair day, right?" ”

Xiao Liuzi stared at those jewels tightly, making a greedy look, at the moment, delaying time is the most important thing, as long as the master comes back, he will be safe.

Chunliu swept Xiao Liuzi's gaze and said: "As long as the father-in-law tells the truth, these things will be yours father-in-law, and in the future, he will be transferred to the queen's side as an errand boy, in this palace, he is a high authority." ”

"The errand around the queen mother will naturally not be bad, but I am afraid that it is difficult to get into the elegant hall with the status of a slave."

The queen glanced over, and Xia He on the side brought another box of jewelry.

The queen said at this time: "My father-in-law is a person who understands, and there is not much nonsense in this palace." I just hope that my father-in-law can understand that the situation in this palace is changing rapidly, and even this palace cannot allow my father-in-law to have a high-ranking and powerful future. So for the future, the palace doesn't make many promises, and only hopes that the father-in-law will grasp the things in front of him, after all, what he gets is his own. ”

"What the queen mother said is reasonable, these things, I'm afraid they are enough for slaves to eat and wear without worrying about ten lifetimes." Xiao Liuzi smiled deferentially.

"Can the father-in-law tell the palace what is the relationship between the Nine Highnesses and Concubine Luo?" The queen asked with a smile.

"Niangniang's words are really interesting, our Niangniang is Your Majesty's concubine, how can she have anything to do with His Royal Highness the Nine."

'Smack! ’

As soon as Xiao Liuzi's words fell, the queen slapped him over, leaving a scratch on his white and tender face.

"Hmph, don't play this with Hongu! This palace has a way to make you speak! The queen's tone was not good.

Xiao Liuzi only felt that his face was hot, lowered his eyes, and did not speak.

"Call me! This palace doesn't believe how hard your bones can be as a eunuch! ”

As soon as the queen's words fell, the sound of whipping sounded in the tent, Xiao Liuzi gritted his teeth and never made a sound, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was saved by his master.

If there is no master, he is still a little eunuch who helps the master every day in the worship room, and it is the master who has brought him to the present, how can he live up to the master.

It didn't take long for Xiao Liuzi's body to blur with flesh and blood,

Seeing that Xiao Liuzi didn't even open his mouth to beg for mercy, a trace of anger flashed in the queen's eyes: "Don't you think the whip is too gentle?" ”

Chunliu bowed slightly, and said to the guards: "Change the torture staff!" ”

Xiao Liuzi was thrown off the torture rack, and the whole person was thrown to the ground in disheveled clothes, and two heavy torture rods, as if they were like a thousand gold, fell on his body alternately.

The already thin body vomited blood not long after, and there were many whites of the eyes.

The queen turned her head, looked at Xia He on the side, and said, "How about other minions?" ”

Xia He shook his head: "It's all a bite to say that Concubine Luo has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Nine." ”

"Keep fighting! I don't believe it, not one of so many people will confess! The Queen's voice was a little annoyed.

Xiao Liuzi's eyes flashed with relief, and his face washed with sweat revealed a miserable white weakness, in the end, this kind of punishment that was not harsh was embarrassing him.

He has not practiced any martial arts, and he has no internal strength, he has always relied on his flamboyant tongue to get a place in the palace, and then he learned some rough kung fu with his master and practiced knife skills, but even so, his body has never been strong.

He hasn't experienced any great hardships, nor has he had any perseverance, and there are only a few heartbreaking things he has experienced since he was born in his mother's womb.

One is that his parents sold him into the palace to become a eunuch in order to make a living, and the other is that the little palace maid he liked was favored by the head of the guard and married home as a concubine, and the other is that he was beaten by the beauty at the beginning with only one breath.

There is no heartache from the master, and there is no earth-shattering love and hate.

He didn't have much ambition, and he didn't want to be a big official, so he thought that he could live a few more years in this palace, and if possible, it was best to save some silver, and when he was old enough to leave the palace, he bought a house, and no one would support him for the elderly, so he spent a few silver to adopt two children from poor families, which was better than them being sold into the palace as eunuchs.

But now, he suddenly felt that he wanted to be by his master's side all the time, the master was too bitter, and the bitterness made people feel sad, that is, he lost this little life, and he must endure not to do anything sorry for the master.

In fact, the poison that was given to everyone, the most important thing was for himself, he was afraid of pain, he was afraid of pain when he was young, and every time his father hit him with a broom, he immediately knelt on the ground and hugged his father's thigh and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes, but now, he has become this backbone person.

The queen looked at the dying little sixth son, and was annoyed: "Gonggong Sheng, this palace advises you, it's better to explain honestly, you are the person next to Concubine Luo's sister, this palace knows that you are loyal, but in this palace, loyalty is not the most important." ”

Xiao Liuzi was held on the ground, motionless, ignoring the queen's words, closing his eyes and not reacting.

But only he knows that he hurts, he wants to cry in pain.

Chunliu walked in front of Xiao Liuzi, with a faint aroma of fat powder, and the delicate embroidered shoes stepped on Xiao Liuzi's face fiercely: "Father-in-law Sheng, we are all slaves, who to do it or not, the queen mother who can give it to Concubine Luo can also give it to you, why bother with a hard mouth." ”

The distorted cheeks looked a little terrifying, and the corners of his eyes also spilled a lot of blood from the previous beating, and he slowly spoke: "I heard that the queen mother gave Aunt Chunliu a marriage, and she is a deputy general." ”

Chunliu's face flashed with joy, this little sixth son said that there is indeed such a thing, you must know that being able to marry a deputy general as a slave is simply a dream of everyone, that is, some young ladies from the noble families of Wang and Sun, I am afraid that not everyone can.

Xiao Liuzi snorted coldly: "A woman who is one person is also a woman, and a woman who is ten people is also a woman, why don't Aunt Chunliu go to the hundred gardens to be the Oiran, and the deputy general can give it to other men who can give you, and if the deputy general can't give it to you, other men can also give it." ”

When the words fell, Xiao Liuzi laughed, and Chunliu became angry and kicked Xiao Liuzi in the face.

A white and pure little face is almost a color palette at the moment, which makes people feel a little heartache when they look at it.

The queen was a little impatient, and her expression was a little tired, and she turned her head to the maid beside her and said, "Why hasn't Xia He come back yet?" ”

"Slave, let's go see Aunt Xia He."
