Chapter 182

Gao Fengqiu stepped up and forked out the little eunuch who was covered in chaff, and the palace maid lotus who had peed her pants had already spoken, and simply explained the reason for the identification.

It turned out that the little eunuch's name was Gao Bo, and the relationship between him and Lotus was a very common 'vegetable household' relationship between eunuchs and maids in the palace.

The so-called vegetable household relationship is actually a deformed marriage relationship between these physically crippled eunuchs and palace maids in the locked palace; It is strictly forbidden to have abnormal relationships with vegetable eaters in the palace during the Taizu period, but after Chenghua, it has gradually become normal in the palace, and it will not be discriminated against.

In fact, it is also very easy to understand, although the eunuchs are crippled people, they are still human beings, and they also have six desires and seven emotions, looking for some emotional comfort, and it is understandable to play some fake phoenix tricks. Needless to say, the palace ladies are all normal people; The eunuchs and palace maids got together for a long time, and gradually formed a state similar to married life that was called: vegetable household; Another way of mentioning 'anti-food' is not only between palace maids and eunuchs, but also between palace maids and palace maids, eunuchs and eunuchs, and it is possible to form a perverted sexual relationship, which can be collectively called anti-food.

The relationship between Gao Bo and Lotus has been a stable vegetable household as early as two years ago, and the two are in and out of pairs, living like a husband and wife of ordinary people; The palace maids will also be proud of comparing their own 'husband's power and wealth', and the eunuchs and palace maids who have no power are very meager, like Gao Bo, who only saves a dozen taels of silver in a year, and over time, the lotus flower falls behind in the comparison with other palace maids, so they often complain.

But a year ago, all of a sudden, Gao Bo made a generous move, bought good clothes, good jewelry, and good rouge gouache for the lotus, which made the lotus beautiful all of a sudden, and it was also because of the backdrop of these things, the lotus was not ugly, and now it became more beautiful, which would enter Liu Jin's eyes, and was given to Zhu Houzhao by Liu Jin as an adult test item.

Lotus every time asked Gao Bo about the source of these silver, Gao Bo always prevaricated and did not answer, but asked too much but lost his temper, although Lotus was puzzled, but since his own 'vegetable household' is a capable master, can make himself beautiful, why bother to care where the silver comes from.

Today, Liu Jin and the rest of the leaders and eunuchs had a big fight, and there was quite a tendency to not stop not stopping to find the spies, the lotus was really scared, and when she saw the flesh and blood of the body penetrated by the nail board, the lotus peed directly in her pants as soon as she soaked her urine. At the same time, many days of doubts also made the lotus associate with the source of Gao Bo's money, and then looked at Gao Bo, a look of unstoppable, which made the lotus feel that the spy was Gao Bo, and only the person who reported the news would get the reward, and he would hide it from himself.

Although Lotus and Gao Bo are like husband and wife, but after all, this is a deformed relationship, and subconsciously will not agree, in order to survive, in order to avoid torture, Lotus decided to say the doubts in her heart, which can be regarded as a catastrophe and flew separately.

After listening to the lotus's explanation, Liu Jin almost didn't need to ask Gao Bo, Gao Bo's white face was spread on the ground like a mess of mud, he knew that it was useless to quibble, but he would suffer more torture; Liu Jin singled Gao Bo aside and asked, and Gao Bo explained it clearly.

Gao Bo likes lotus, lotus is the most watery palace maid in the palace, can form a vegetable household with his powerless little eunuch, Gao Bo secretly rejoiced for a long time, in front of other eunuch colleagues Gao Bo is also angry, but although Gao Bo is not a serious man, but he also has a man's self-esteem, seeing that the lotus is ridiculed by other palace maids outside, and the clothes are not as good as people, and his heart is really panicked.

After the lotus complained a few times, Gao Bo felt the crisis, this is not a husband and wife after all, in case there is a eunuch with a lot of money to intervene, the lotus may run away with others, but helplessly shy, after a few thoughts, Gao Bo made a confused idea, and took advantage of the opportunity on duty to occasionally steal some small things in the prince's mansion and ask someone to take them out of the palace for money.

Soon the matter was revealed, not that the people in the prince's mansion found out, it was the fan of Dongchang who came to the door, Fan Heng had long wanted to find an opportunity to insert eyeliner around the prince, but coincidentally, Gao Bo himself hit the door, and the eunuch who Gao Bo entrusted with the stolen goods out of the palace to sell was Fan Heng's person, after some coercion, Gao Bo had no choice, so he had to be Fan Heng's eyeliner in the prince's mansion, and conveyed every move of the people around the prince to Fan Heng and others.

People say that they are trapped by love, and it is really ridiculous if this word is used on eunuchs, but in fact, Gao Bo is indeed controlled by people because of love, but he is one of the eunuchs.

Of course, Gao Bo is just a little eunuch with a low status, and he doesn't know a lot of things, but Liu Jin gave the prince an aphrodisiac, and afterwards he knew that the lotus flower was like crazy, and the lotus said that the prince was like crazy, and he tossed on several palace maids for half the night, and his eyes were red, which was naturally a symptom of taking an aphrodisiac.

Liu Jin originally wanted to keep this Gao Bo as a tool to pass on false news, but he really didn't dare to take this risk, who knows if there are any eyes and ears of Fan Heng among the others? Thinking about it, Liu Jin decided to give up the idea of taking the risk, but in order to let Fan Heng understand that he was not a fool, and let other hidden eyeliners dare not show their heads during this time, he decided to make an example of the monkey.

In the evening, two corpses floated in the lotus pond in the back garden, which were the bodies of Lotus and Gao Bo, everyone said that Lotus and Gao Bo were martyred by suicide, because they could not be a real husband and wife and suffered, and they agreed to be reincarnated in the next life and be husband and wife again. But everyone knew what was going on, and the eunuchs and palace maids were terrified, but no one dared to mention a word.

After hearing this, Zhengde was a little surprised, but soon left it behind, the death of one or two eunuchs and palace maids in the palace is too commonplace, and it is not worth making a fuss, but the act of martyrdom touched some of Zhengde's small thoughts, and he actually wrote a poem that night to comfort his mind, and was framed by Liu Jin and hung in the imperial study afterwards.

……

The night was low, the palace was silent, and the celebrant was in the public room, which was pitch black, except for a candle lit in the east wing, and a little light shimmered through the crack in the door.

Wang Yue's hair is silver-white, but his face is as white as a steamed bun out of the pot, which shows that he is well-maintained on weekdays, but now his delicate and smooth face is cloudy at the moment.

"Tell me about it, both of you, how are we going to deal with it now?" Wang Yue said in a deep voice.

Fan Heng, who was wearing a black coat, sat across the table and scolded angrily: "Liu Jin of the dog day, this is going to provoke trouble, the person who actually killed me, the leopard house must not be allowed to be built, what a big breath, 500,000 taels of silver!" The emperor actually agreed to him. ”

The eunuch Xu Zhi, the leader of the Imperial Horse Prison, was a lean old man, frowned and said softly: "Father-in-law Fan, don't be rash, the emperor has already agreed, this matter is a foregone conclusion, how to stop it?" If you want to fight against the emperor, according to our family, the 500,000 taels of silver are probably given. ”

"To him? Speaking lightly, where did he get the money? Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have so much silver? I just asked Ma Gonggong from the carrier warehouse, the silver in the warehouse is less than 100,000 taels, where does the 500,000 taels of silver come from? Fan Heng shouted.

Xu Zhidao: "How is that good?" Liu Jin said that he would take someone to withdraw the silver tomorrow, how would it end then? ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? Damn, the princess, why don't we join forces with the ministers of the foreign court to stop the emperor on the grounds that this matter is inappropriate, and by the way, Liu Jin and a few of them will be abolished together, wouldn't it be a hundred? Fan Heng patted the table.

Wang Yue glared and shouted, "What are you arguing about?" Father-in-law Fan, do you think the ministers are all dogs of Dongchang? Do whatever you tell you to do? It's not that our family hasn't mentioned it to Li Dongyang, and I told Li Dongyang about all the things you said, Li Dongyang, the old fox, doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, there is no evidence, but with one-sided words, Li Dongyang will vote to play? After all, whoever is in charge of the inner court is the same for them, but the ministers and the emperor are angry and this is biased towards us, and you still expect them to take the lead for us? ”

Fan Heng shouted, "Then what do you say now?" ”

Wang Yue said: "Give them silver, it can only be like this." The construction of this leopard house may not be beneficial to Liu Jin, on the contrary, it is an ironclad evidence, if the emperor lingers in the leopard room to play and play, Li Dongyang and they will have more reason to fold. ”

Fan Heng spread his hands and said, "Where did you get the silver?" The inner carrier depot is almost empty. ”

Wang Yue scolded: "I spend money lavishly on weekdays, but now I am in a hurry, what about the silver?" Half of the one million taels of silver allocated by the household department every year can't be used, and the rest of the years should be accumulated with millions of taels, where does the silver go? ”

Fan Heng blushed and said: "Father-in-law, you can't say that, my East Factory has added a lot of manpower in recent years, and the salary, official expenses, and travel are all money, and I have spent a lot, but this is all for official business." ”

Wang Yue chirped: "Don't talk to our family here about the clouds and mountains and fog, I don't know about your things?" Less garlic in this; Xu Zhi, don't pretend to be stunned, how much horsepower you and the carrier warehouse put into your pockets, don't think that our family doesn't know the way. ”

Xu Zhi rubbed the corners of his clothes and said silently, Fan Heng stiffened his neck and said: "Princess, I don't like you to talk like this, you are not less, the two big mansions at the east gate and the north gate, the more than 5,000 acres of fertile land in Shilizhuang outside Beijing, and all the expenses of your birthday last year, add up to seven or eight hundred thousand, don't just say it's a matter of a few of us." ”

Wang Yue's eyes were fierce, and he said angrily: "You are here to settle accounts with our family, right?" You're being presumptuous. ”

Fan Heng's arrogance fell suddenly, and he didn't dare to really fight in front of Wang Yue, so he hurriedly said: "I'm just talking about things, but I didn't say that you shouldn't get it, now in this situation, there is no silver in the warehouse, how can we deal with the past?" ”

Wang Yue said angrily: "This is your business, do you have to find a way for everything?" What do you need to do? The 500,000 taels of silver have to be given, and there are still four or five months before the end of the household appropriation, and the expenses in the palace in these four or five months must be made up, this matter must be done, otherwise we will be in big trouble; Our family is very suspicious, Liu Jin's construction of the leopard house is fake, there must be some conspiracy behind it, if it is to find out how much silver we have taken from the internal carrier warehouse for so many years, hehe, we will all be finished. ”

Fan Heng and Xu Zhi were stunned, this worry had not been considered before, if Liu Jin really came for this purpose, it would be a big trouble.
