Chapter 17 Thirty-seven years for the eunuch
Early this morning, at the Caishikou of Xinxiang County, on the execution platform, more than 200 officials escorted them and knelt at the Caishikou at the same time, and one of them knelt in front of him to show that this person was the first offender.
The county commander Li Tianhe sat on the prison platform, looked down at the kneeling people below, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Liang Ziming, it's not that the county doesn't help you, the prefect has been suspended and waiting to participate, and the county is a small county, alas......
I didn't expect Cao Hui to be so ruthless, and he actually gave Liang Hong the crime of treason, and now Liang Hong's nine clans will be beheaded on the same day, and they will be bleeding like a river!! ”
"Drive!" Outside the north gate of Xinxiang County, several horses galloped towards the county seat of Xinxiang, and finally outside the north gate of the county seat, several horses restrained the horse.
And at this moment, "sigh law~" A horse's wailing sounded, and then I saw a rider in the middle of the horse, suddenly fell off the horse, and at the same time the horse also fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
And immediately after, the other horses also lay down, obviously not working.
Several people on horseback stepped down from their horses, and the person at the head was dressed in black brocade, who was this person Liu Zhen, the eunuch who guarded the town in Yu Province?
Other riders, at this time there was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, at this time came to Liu Zhen, and said a little eagerly: "Our horse came all the way from Kaifeng, and it was already tired. ”
Liu Zhen looked at the sky, and then said: "Wait a while, it will be closer and closer to noon, haven't you already told the person who sent it?" Meet in front of the old mansion of Cao Ge.
There can be no further delay. Let's go, go to Cao Ge's old mansion, let's go and meet this former Dongge University scholar! ”
So the group walked towards the county on foot, and when they came to the second intersection of the county seat, they saw a trotting group of soldiers trotting towards the road on the left.
Liu Zhen stopped slightly, and the generals led by those soldiers ran over directly and bowed to Liu Zhen: "The last general Liu Hao, meet Grandpa Liu!" ”
Liu Zhen nodded to the strong man behind him, and then walked directly to the front, and the strong man immediately said to the general: "Wuwei General Liu Hao, the father-in-law ordered you to send a pair of soldiers to the county law field, don't rob the law field, but without the father-in-law's order, no one is allowed to die on the law field, you can listen to the order?? ”
General Wu Wei immediately clasped his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
When Liu Zhen walked forward, Wuwei General Liu Hao had already personally led the troops and hurriedly guarded Liu Zhen's side, those soldiers seemed to have six or seven hundred people, and immediately divided three hundred people and went to the law field, and the remaining four hundred people were to protect Liu Zhen's safety and go to Cao Mansion together.
At the third intersection.
"The last general, Wang Ning, a thousand households in Weihui Mansion, meet Gonggong Liu!"
"Gonggong Liu's dictation, you and the others will go to Cao's Mansion with the team!"
"The last general will take the order!"
On the fourth and fifth intersections, there were soldiers and horses sent by Liu Zhen to guard the vicinity from all over the place.
Mighty, add one piece together, and there is also a team of 3,000 people.
Outside the gate of Caofu.
The eunuch of Yu Province walked to the door and said to his subordinates behind him: "Give it to our family, surround it!" ”
After giving this order, the soldiers behind him quickly dispersed, directly surrounding the old mansion of Cao Ge, and then, he personally walked to the door and knocked on the door.
Then he heard a movement behind the door, and then a door, opened, and before it could be opened, he shouted, "Who is it?" My lord said, I don't see a guest today! ”
However, as soon as the door opened, it was kicked open directly by a soldier, and the door was knocked back several steps, and he almost fell, and he was angry for a while: "Who are you?" I don't know if this is the former Tokaku University scholar's house? Are you looking for death? ”
It's just that as soon as he spoke, a steel knife stabbed directly into his heart, and when it was stirred inside, the person quickly disappeared.
Liu Zhen, the high-ranking and powerful eunuch of Yu Province, glanced at the corpse with disgust at this time, and spit out a sentence softly: "It's been so long, and it's the first time I've heard someone dare to talk to our family like this." ”
As he spoke, stepping on the wet and yin blood on the ground, he walked towards the mansion, but a large group of soldiers had already driven forward under the order of the general, and solved all the obstacles that dared to stop him from advancing for Liu Zhen, the eunuch of the town.
In an inner hall in the old mansion of Cao Ge.
"Father, the news we got that Liu Zhen, the person who was the celebrant supervisor, has sent troops to our side, is Huang Bu really reliable? Bringing troops from the provincial capital? ”
Cao Ling looked at his father Cao Hui with a worried expression.
Cao Hui sat on the Taishi chair, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and said slowly: "Isn't it the celebrant supervisor?" The old man hasn't put it in his eyes yet, and if he wants to move me, it depends on whether he has that good tooth! ”
He turned his head to look at his son Cao Ling again, and said with an unkind look: "Hmph, look at your little bit of interest?" Is that scared? Thirty-seven years as a father and eunuch, step by step, he has walked to the top of the empire among the few people, hehehe," he suddenly laughed, as if mocking, but also disdainful: "A mere ceremonial eunuch with no eggs wants to bring down the old man?"
Let's go," he said, standing up, "and meet the junior for a moment." ”
With that, he strode towards the location of the hall outside.
"Yes, father." The worry on Cao Ling's face was swept away, and he immediately followed his father out of the inner hall.
In the hall of Caofu.
The eunuch in Yu Province, in the whole Yu Province, can also be said to be the existence of the number one, at this time he does not sit, just standing in the hall of the middle of the people, several generals with swords around him surrounded him, occasionally can hear the sound of ticking, it is raining outside again.
From the door in the hall, more than a dozen people finally came out, most of them were guards with knives, and two of them did not have knives, and they were all dressed in Confucian clothes.
The two and one of the old men are Cao Hui, the former scholar of Dongge University, and the younger is his son Cao Ling.
Cao Hui walked over, didn't look at Liu Zhen, and sat straight on the seat of the main seat, looking ahead, as if he didn't see Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen saw Cao Hui's arrogant appearance, sitting by himself, but he had a smile in his mouth, a sharp laugh unique to eunuchs, but immediately, he walked up to Cao Hui, bowed directly, and said with a smile:
"I remember that day in Beijing, I saw the majesty of the elder of the pavilion with my own eyes, I really yearn for it, and today I finally got to see you again, it is really a blessing for three lives!"
Cao Hui, a former cabinet scholar, looked at him and said lightly: "Don't dare to be," but immediately, as if jokingly, he said: "It is said that eunuchs are all eagle dogs, and the old man has not heard dogs bark for a long time, but today he heard it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly froze, and a cold or even murderous aura immediately permeated the hall, and the generals in the hall couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the knife in their hands, as if they were waiting for someone's order to unsheath.
"Hehehehehe," Liu Zhen, the most powerful eunuch in Henan Province, suddenly laughed, not for a long time, but he said: "Ouch Cao Ge Lao, I originally liked this, then our family will learn a few dog barks and listen to it to Ge Lao."
Wang, Wang, Wang! ”
"Good!" Cao Hui suddenly laughed, looking really amused by Liu Zhen, and laughed loudly: "It's really a good dog!" ”
Then Cao Hui said: "Then in this case, what Liang Hong, I am going to kill him today, and the cabinet celebrant has no grudges......
Liu Zhen had the usual laughter of eunuchs at this time, and at this time, he also had a flattering meaning, and interrupted: "Old Cao Ge, our family didn't understand much, what did you just say?" ”
"I said, then Liang Hong must die today, our two families have no grudges...... Cao Hui said with a disapproving smile.
"But this won't work!" Liu Zhen suddenly restrained his smile and said lightly.
"You, what did you say?" The former Dongkaku University scholar didn't seem to understand for a while, and asked suspiciously.
Liu Zhen suddenly sat down on the Taishi chair opposite, crossed Erlang's legs, his eyes seemed to be very curious about the things around him, he looked at it, and after a while, Fang Youyou said:
"You can treat our family as a dog, and our family can also perform dog barking, who made you a cabinet elder? We can't get you.
However, this Liang Hong can't die today, this is what our godfather said, today," he paused, and then his voice changed, and he suddenly became sharp:
"Whoever gets Liang Hong, our family will get whom! ~”
