Chapter 10 I ask, do you dare to answer?
The two eunuchs of the Yanqu Hall felt that they had really poured blood mold today.
It must have been contaminated with something dirty in that cold palace during the day, and this day is like hitting an evil spirit.
First, he was broken into the empty door during the day and lost all his savings.
At night, I also met strange cats and these few things that are not human or ghost.
These people silently surrounded the two eunuchs, staring at them deadly, which was terrifying.
That's not looking at a living person in the eye at all.
But when the two eunuchs saw clearly the luxurious floral clothes worn by these people, their pupils shrank instantly.
"Greetings to all fathers-in-law, the villains have not been able to welcome you from afar, please forgive your sins, please forgive your sins......"
Then the two of them kowtowed like garlic, for fear that if one of them kowtowed, they would encounter some horror.
The movements and demeanor were not at all out of respect, but fear that went deep into the bones.
There are clear classes in the palace, and even the eunuchs have strict rules on what clothes they wear, and if they exceed the rules, they will have to pay with their lives.
The two kowtowers on the ground were dressed in low-grade yellow clothes.
Although there are still white clothes below the yellow clothes, most of them are small eunuchs who have just entered the palace.
On the contrary, the yellow clothes are the bottom of the bottom, and they are generally rootless duckweed who have no ability and no backing.
The yellow clothes are covered with Xuanyi, and the ink-colored clothes are generally decorated with auspicious patterns.
Those who can wear Xuanyi are all masters, who specialize in serving in a certain palace and a certain hall, and serve special nobles.
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, and this eunuch who can wear a black robe is considered a dog with a master.
Not only can the dog fight the human power, but also let the other party weigh the master behind him when he wants to move himself.
And the flower clothes on the top are qualitatively changed.
The eunuchs who surrounded the two of them now were all dressed in floral clothes, and they were all tall young men.
That must be the minions of the legendary fathers-in-law.
Thinking of this, the two eunuchs of Yanqu Hall were so frightened that they felt cold all over their bodies, and somehow they got into trouble with such characters.
Breaking in late at night, I'm afraid it's a curse rather than a blessing.
Therefore, they didn't even dare to ask, they just kowtowed vigorously and asked for guilt, trying to find a way to survive for themselves.
In the palace, what lives is a vision.
And there was also the sound of Si Suo Suo from the other wings, and although there was no candlelight, it was clear that someone had been woken up by the movement in the courtyard.
It's just that no one dares to come out and check it out easily.
The two eunuchs kowtowed and begged for mercy, and they didn't mean to make a big fuss.
But apparently the effect is very limited.
The chambers are inhabited by eunuchs at the bottom, and who dares to wade into such troubled waters.
The foreheads of the two eunuchs had broken skin and blood was bleeding, but they still did not dare to stop.
"Ouch, how can such a good thing be so bad."
An old eunuch came to them at some point, then squatted down and picked up the food box on the ground, sorted it out, and put it on the stone table beside him.
Then he himself sat down on a stone bench beside him.
After kowtowing for a long time, they finally heard someone talking, and the two eunuchs of Yanqu Hall suddenly ignited hope and looked up at the person who spoke.
The old eunuch had a kind face, his eyebrows and hair were all snow-white, the flower clothes on his body were more colorful and luxurious, and he wore a crown of pearls and jades on his head, and his long hair was meticulously groomed.
"Mr. Shang!?"
The two eunuchs lifted their bloodied heads and let the blood run across the bridge of their noses, making their faces even more embarrassed.
Obviously, this old eunuch is not an ordinary person, so that these two little eunuchs can also recognize people at a glance.
"Alright, don't bother with it, you two."
Mr. Shang waved his hand and said casually, but his voice did not match his appearance, and it sounded extremely crisp.
"I ask, and you answer honestly."
Mr. Shang didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"The ancestors only need to ask, and the grandchildren must know everything!"
The two eunuchs immediately replied.
They also understand that the next conversation is likely to be about their lives.
"What's going on with this food box?"
Mr. Shang cocked the orchid and pointed to the stone table.
"This ......"
The two eunuchs who were questioned were stunned.
To be honest, they're only now seeing the box.
Before, it was only known that the cat on the wall of the courtyard had thrown something at their feet, and after lighting the candle, before they could see it clearly, they were startled by the sudden appearance of the masters around them.
Now that Mr. Shang asked, the two of them noticed the food box.
"Huh?"
Seeing that these two little eunuchs still dared to hesitate, Manager Shang immediately snorted coldly.
The two little eunuchs woke up like a dream, a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they immediately kowtowed and replied: "Don't dare to hide it from the ancestors, we just saw this thing clearly, just now there was a cat on the courtyard wall, and threw something at our feet, and before we could see it clearly, the ancestor brought people in." ”
"Hahaha!"
Before they could finish speaking, Mr. Shang laughed, and laughed so heartily that he almost burst into tears.
The laughter spread far and wide in the silent night, but no one came to check what was happening, not even the talented people who lived in the Yanqu Hall dared not come forward.
It can be seen that this is still the position of the chief in the palace.
Seeing that Chief Shang was laughing, the two eunuchs couldn't help but be anxious.
As soon as the words came out, they also heard how outrageous their words were, but this was the case.
They had already figured out the situation at this time, and they must not have anything to do with the food box on the stone table, otherwise their lives would definitely be lost.
"Ancestor, although it sounds absurd, the grandchildren are true and dare not do any deception."
"The ancestors are discerning, !!"
The voices of the two little eunuchs were poignant, and their feelings were sincere, but it really made people not see the slightest flaw.
"It's been a long time since I've met a young man as bold as you."
"Since you call our family an ancestor, I will definitely have to make it clear to you."
Mr. Shang smiled, and there was no anger on his face.
I saw that he made a look, and several of the eunuchs who accompanied him were separated and searched the vicinity.
The others remained where they were, holding on to the two kneeling on the ground.
"You said it was a passing cat who dropped the box, so can you tell if the cat is big or small? Is it black or white? ”
Mr. Shang asked softly, and he really believed their words when he heard this.
"This ......"
One of them was still hesitating, but the other replied without hesitation: "It's not big, it's not small, it's black!" ”
His tone was categorical, without any doubt, and he gestured with his hand to make a determination.
His companion glanced at him, but when he saw that he had sworn his oath, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Okay, I'll send someone to arrest the cat you said for you to identify."
Manager Shang beckoned, summoned an accompanying eunuch, and whispered a few words to him.
The eunuch who was summoned immediately took the order and went away without any hesitation.
"By the way, before we arrived just now, there were no lights in this courtyard, right?"
Regarding Chief Shang's question, the two little eunuchs nodded, not daring to be clever on this point.
The accompanying eunuchs appeared in the dark, watching them light the candles, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense on this point.
"Okay, let's turn off the lights first."
At the order of Manager Shang, the candle flame that had just been lit was blown out again, and the courtyard became dark again.
There is no moon tonight, and I really can't see my fingers.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.
The man was carrying a mass of something in his hand, and two clouds of green light were emitting.
The two little eunuchs who had seen this scene before immediately understood that the man was holding a cat.
Manager Shang's voice also sounded slowly:
"Look at the two of you, this cat is ......"
The two little eunuchs couldn't wait to shout "yes" to their throats, but then they asked them to hold back.
"Look at the two of you, what color is this cat?"
Mr. Shang's unexpected question made the two brothers stunned in place.
The silence in the darkness was deafening.
