Chapter 135: The Eunuch in the Palace

Seeing this scene, Li Xuandu had to sigh in his heart, he seemed to have a special relationship with two kinds of people, one was to open the Taiping Inn, and the other was Qingluanwei, who specialized in settling in the Taiping Inn.

However, Liu Chen has already said that because the Taiping Inn has the name of the Taiping Sect, it is invisibly a kind of guarantee, and it is reasonable for the Qingluan Wei Society to choose to settle here, and those who really dare to ignore the name of the Taiping Sect and fight in the Taiping Inn, whether it is Zhang Qingshan and Bai Rushuang, Su Yunjiao, are all people from the Zhengyi Sect and the Cihang Sect.

Qingluan Wei rushed in, but at the end were two white-faced and beardless men, one was a little older, probably not confused, wearing a python robe, and the other was a little younger, that is, in his early twenties, wearing the purple clothes worn by ordinary eunuchs.

When Li Xuandu was in the imperial capital, he hated dealing with one kind of person the most, that is, the eunuchs in the palace, if he was not mistaken, these two should be people in the palace.

People in the world often have the misconception that eunuchs are eunuchs, but in fact they are not, just like the people who see people wearing armor call generals regardless of whether they are generals or generals, in fact, eunuchs are the most respected people among eunuchs. In the court with strict rules, not everyone dares to put the word "eunuch" on top of their heads, and there are nearly 10,000 eunuchs in the imperial capital, and only 30 people can be called eunuchs.

Carefully calculated, there are 12 eunuchs, 4 divisions, and 8 bureaus in the deep palace of the imperial city, collectively known as the 24 yamen, according to the legal system, only the eunuchs of the palm seal of the 24 yamen can be called eunuchs, and there are left and right young eunuchs, plus several of the ceremonial eunuchs, as well as the supervisors of the city and the weaving bureau, as well as the eunuchs who guard the towns and towns, and there are no eunuchs who can be called eunuchs.

Among the 24 yamen, the chief celebrant is the chief eunuch and has the heaviest authority. The eunuch in charge of the seal is just an official position of the fourth grade, but he has the power to approve the red, which corresponds to the power of the cabinet chief assistant, and is known as the internal minister. The chief of the ceremonial supervisor has the position of Governor Qingluanwei, that is, the governor who once frightened the people in the rivers and lakes. Today, the "Yangliu Dispute" in the inner court is actually the dispute between the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch who holds the pen of the chief eunuch.

can let Qingluan guard guard, it can be seen that the status of this eunuch will not be too low, and when the eunuchs go out of Beijing, most of them are responsible for the will of the inner court, but I don't know if it is one of the more than 30 great eunuchs.

When the eunuch in the python robe slowly walked into the inn, the atmosphere in the inn had a temporary stagnation, no one spoke, there was no sound, everyone was motionless, like a static painting.

Li Xuandu and Liu Chen made the same choice at the same time, that is, to converge the qi machine and suppress their cultivation around the general Bao Dan realm.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, you can't easily show your bottom, so you have to pay attention to the "eyesight", you can see through the details of other people's skills, and if you can't see through, act carefully, don't easily provoke right and wrong.

Then with a chuckle from the proprietress and everything came alive again. The shopkeeper turned on the lamp to dispel the haze in the house, and the shopkeeper dragged her heavy body to greet the guests with a smile, and the shopkeeper was still standing behind the counter, but it was no longer as impermanent, and her eyes were no longer glowing with ghostly light.

One of them, Qing Luanwei, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Qing Luanwei handles the case, and the idle people avoid it. This inn, we Qingluanwei chartered, and then prepared three tables of wine and food for us, if it is done well, there will be a lot of rewards. ”

Replaced by Qingluanwei in the early years, they don't have to take the initiative to speak, the people in the inn have already fled, but the current Qingluanwei is a little bit worse, except for those "heroes" who are still wearing single clothes in this early winter, they are a little hesitant, and the rest of the people at the table are all regarded as deaf ears, and they have no intention of getting up and leaving.

The shopkeeper who has been standing behind the counter has a lukewarm attitude towards these Qing Luanwei who are coming, no courtesy, and no cold eyes, at this time I heard Qing Luanwei say this, and slowly said: "We open the door to welcome guests, regardless of whether they are high or low, we do the business of the imperial court, and we also do the business of friends in the rivers and lakes." There is no reason to drive away another group of guests because of one group of guests. ”

Qing Luanwei, who had spoken before, suddenly couldn't hold back a little on his face, and directly reached out and pressed the handle of the knife on his waist.

The eunuch in the python robe waved his hand, stopped the Qingluanwei's movements, and said in a sharp voice: "Guests are as they please, since the shopkeeper has spoken, then we can't break the rules of others." Besides, there are more people here, and they also seem popular and lively. ”

The proprietress smiled: "It's good that my father-in-law is considerate." ”

The eunuch went straight to the table in the center of the inn and sat down, and no one dared to sit at the same table with him, and a young eunuch standing beside him ordered, "Hurry up and serve the food." ”

The proprietress hurried to the back kitchen to work.

The middle-aged eunuch suddenly looked at the middle-aged man with obvious military imprints on his body, and asked softly, "It seems that you have seen Your Excellency somewhere?"

The middle-aged man with a calm temperament said slowly: "I am a person from the rivers and lakes, where I don't meet, maybe there is, but most of them are Pingshui meet." ”

The eunuch still stared at the middle-aged man: "Jianghu people? Why do we look at Your Excellency like a member of the court?"

In an instant, the atmosphere of the inn became solemn again.

Only the sound of kitchen knives coming from the back kitchen.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, the middle-aged eunuch didn't speak, and there was no one next to the fairy couple, leaving only four men in single clothes at a loss, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, I changed my mind again, or come to the pot bar, in winter, drink some wine to warm up, but I want a good flower carving, don't mix with water, don't give money if the wine is not good." ”

The innkeeper said in a blank tone: "The guest officer can rest assured that although our shop is small, it is a sincere business, and we will never do anything that lacks virtue by mixing water in wine." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper had already opened the large wine jar behind him and scooped out a pot of wine from it.

This interruption broke the solemn atmosphere in the inn, but everyone also looked at the person who spoke, it was a person and a half years old, looking like this, he had been mixed with the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he could barely be called a young man, with a long knife wrapped in cloth, he didn't see much difference from ordinary people, but the woman sitting next to him was quite good-looking.

The young eunuch standing beside the middle-aged eunuch frowned, and his body subconsciously tensed.

Although he is not very old, he has been on an errand in Qingluanwei for many years, and he has seen a lot of the three sects and nine streams, righteous and evil ways on the rivers and lakes, and he is a master of the True Realm, and he has also seen a lot, but he can't see through the depth of this person.

Li Xuandu looked at the young eunuch and smiled slightly.

The young eunuch clenched his fist suddenly, but he still forcibly suppressed the murderous intent that suddenly surged in his heart.

Li Xuandu has an extremely keen perception of such things as killing intent, which is due to his experience in Jiangbei in his early years, when he passed by a random place, he could encounter an attack that had been in ambush for a long time, in a broken temple, in a dense forest, in a downtown area, and in an inn. Although the young eunuch thought that he was very good at hiding, he still couldn't hide it from Li Xuandu, but Li Xuandu didn't mean to care, he was more interested in what the two eunuchs wanted to do.

If it is not unexpected, these two people should be the people who are the chief Bingbi Liu Yi, if they are also here for Qin Xiang's affairs, then the matter will become more and more complicated, because this will involve the Queen Mother behind Liu Yi.

The middle-aged eunuch always ignored this little episode, still staring at the middle-aged man, and said gloomily: "Even if you are from the rivers and lakes, the whole world is not the king's land, and the people of the rivers and lakes are also the people of the Great Wei Dynasty." ”

The middle-aged man said, "I don't know what my father-in-law means by this." ”

The corners of the middle-aged eunuch's mouth curled: "Our family went out of Beijing this time on the order of the celebrant to arrest Qin Xiang, a prisoner of the imperial court, I don't know if you know Qin Xiang?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four men with military imprints changed, and they subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife on their waists.

At the same time, all the Qingluan guards also pressed the hilt of the knife on their waists, and they were murderous.

The middle-aged eunuch smiled and said in a sharp voice: "Sure enough, it's Qin Xiang's remnants, why, do you still dare to rebel?"
