Chapter Twenty-Six: Choices
Regardless of whether Su Shan has the ability to change his fate or not, Chang Fu decided to give it a try!
He was born in a poor family, his parents died when he was a child, and he barely survived by begging along the street, and then he was really forced to sell himself into the palace and become a eunuch!
Over the years, being a beggar, struggling to survive at the bottom of the inner court, he has long seen through the heat and coldness of the world, and he deeply understands that power is the most important thing in the world, and he is constantly looking for opportunities, but his previous identity was too humble, a cook in the worship room, no one is looking at him at all, so he has been staying there!
Now, there is an opportunity in front of him, whether he can do it or not, he wants to see it first!
In the dead of night, the palace eunuch who had been busy all day seemed very deadly and silent, only the occasional cricket cries came out, occasionally undulating, and the cold moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, which seemed a little dim, Chang Fu carefully got up from the hard bed board, tiptoed open the door, and walked towards Su Shan's residence.
The late autumn wind was cold, and he stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then knocked on the door gently,
"Father-in-law Su, little Chang Fu, I am here to ask to see!"
"Come in!"
Su Shan didn't sleep at all, he had been waiting for Chang Fu, with his understanding of this person, he was basically ninety percent sure that the latter would definitely come to him, and sure enough, he didn't guess wrong!
Crunch!
A crack opened in the door, Chang Fu came in sideways, he glanced at Su Shan, who was sitting on the chair with a little mystery on his body, took a deep breath, knelt at the latter's feet, put his head deep on Su Shan's boots, and whispered,
"Chang Fu asks Father-in-law Su to give him a chance to get ahead! Chang Fu promises that from now on he will be a dog of Father-in-law Su, you let me go east, I will never go west, you let me bite, I will never let go!"
"Looks like you understand what I mean!"
Su Shan's face was still indifferent, but a faint smile passed in the depths of his eyes, he took a black bottle that had been prepared on the table a long time ago, and sent it to Chang Fu, with a gentle voice in his voice, and said,
"Tomorrow, put the poison in it into the meal sent to the Taimiao, and when this thing is done, you can rise to prominence!"
"This ......"
Chang Fu took the black bottle, his face showed a little solemnity, and the palm holding the bottle was also trembling slightly, obviously thinking about something.
After a moment of silence, his slightly squinted eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of shock, and there was a slight light, and a layer of cold sweat also flowed down from that fat face, and his back was quickly soaked with cold sweat, he swallowed and spit, and collapsed to the ground a little weakly.
In those eyes, there was even more unconcealable fear!
He had been in the inner court for many years, he knew who was in the Taimiao, he also knew the situation in the palace, and after thinking about everything that had happened recently, he vaguely guessed what Su Shan wanted to do!
However, there are two or three thousand people in the temple!
"You can guess my purpose, and it didn't disappoint me!"
Su Shan looked at Chang Fu's appearance and understood, from the three months of contact in the worship room, he could see that this cook has always been very smart, and it is reasonable to guess his purpose.
Now, it's up to him how he chooses!
"Father-in-law Su......"
Chang Fu's nervous lips trembled, and he stammered a little when he spoke, but he still squeezed out a few words from between his teeth,
"The little ones don't dare!"
After speaking, his head was stuck on Su Shan's boots, not daring to move in the slightest.
Poisoning so many people, he really didn't dare!
"Think about it again!"
Su Shan smiled, the voice blended with the night, as if it came from the Nine Hells, full of indescribable coldness and serenity, and when he spoke, his right hand also gently fell on the top of Chang Fu's head, Chang Fu shivered, and a stream of smelly urine flowed out of his crotch.
His body trembled, and he didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere!
He was so nervous and scared just now that his brain lost the ability to think for a moment, and as Su Shan's hand fell, he barely regained some consciousness, and his eyes became even more frightened.
Don't do it?
Now that I know about it, if I don't do it, I will never get out of this room alive!
Su Shan's methods, he knows it well!
And to do?
With so many people dying at once, there will definitely be an earth-shattering earthquake in the inner court, and when the time comes, will Su Shan push himself out and be that poor substitute for the dead? Moreover, such a big case must be borne by someone, and it is even possible that the entire Divine Palace Prison will be baptized in blood, can he live to the point of prosperity?
He couldn't be sure!
On the contrary, he felt that Su Shan had a great possibility to completely kill himself, after all, in such a big case, according to common sense, Su Shan would not leave any evidence!
And as for the success of Su Shanxu after doing a good job, he felt that it was a 1 in 10,000 possibility, or even less than 1 in 10,000!
Chang Fu regretted it at this moment, and his intestines were all remorseful!
Why did you want to come to see Su Shan with a hot head, this guy is a devil at all, he should have thought of it a long time ago, he would definitely not let himself be promoted and make a fortune so easily!
I'm almost in a mortal situation now!
His fat body trembled slightly, and he really didn't know what to do!
"Chang Fu, don't let me down! This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Su Shan saw that Chang Fu was entangled and couldn't make up his mind, his eyes flickered slightly, and the right hand that pressed his head gradually turned into a claw shape, and then there was a trace of ruthless energy, which slowly lingered.
"Father-in-law Su!"
Chang Fu felt the killing intent that penetrated his back, his body trembled again, and then slammed his head on Su Shan's boots violently, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Small, do!"
If you don't do it, you will die, and if you do it, there is still a glimmer of life, although it is illusory, but he can only gamble!
He made up his mind!
"Good! good!"
Su Shan showed a slight smile on his face, and the right hand was also raised from the top of Chang Fu's head, he pinched Chang Fu's chin, raised his head, and said with an extraordinarily calm smile,
"You didn't disappoint me!"
"But ......"
At this point, Su Shan's eyes burst out with a particularly ferocious meaning, and his tone was even more hideous, he stared at Chang Fu's eyes and continued,
"Don't think about informing, you should understand that if you ruin the big thing of the Queen Mother, no one will protect you in this world, and your fate will be quite miserable!"
"Small...... Understood!"
Chang Fu's face became more and more pale, and he nodded in fear, he naturally understood that if this matter was leaked by himself, how would the Queen Mother deal with herself, and the end would be clear with his toes!
"Go, I'll wait for your good news!"
Su Shan waved his hand lightly and said with a smile.
Chang Fu kowtowed deeply again, and then got up in a hurry, he first wiped the urine left on the ground with his sleeve, and then bowed down and exited the room.
The door closed softly, he took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth,
"Hopefully, I'll really be able to make it up!"
The voice of his own voice fell, and he staggered towards his quarters.
In the room, Su Shan didn't know when he had come to the window, and through the slightly open window, he looked at Chang Fu's back as he gradually moved away, and his pupils were also filled with a thick sense of emotion.
"Chang Fu, don't let me down!"
He muttered to himself.
......
In the early morning of the next day, with a little fiery red sun rising from the east, the white of the fish belly in the sky gradually turned golden, the entire imperial city was shrouded, and the kitchen of the palace eunuch was also in full swing, and a group of eunuchs were busy preparing the morning meal for the people in the temple!
In the Taimiao, in addition to those eunuchs who are responsible for the daily maintenance of the Taimiao, there are also hidden *******, so the master of ceremonies, Hu Gonggong, once personally explained that there must be no negligence in the meal, so these eunuchs are very serious and dare not have the slightest carelessness.
More than half an hour later, under the nervous busyness of the people, all the meals have been prepared, and the food baskets are placed in the front yard of the kitchen of the shrine supervisor, and the people are even more busy, and the prepared meals are placed on the plates of each food box one after another.
"Hoo ......"
At this time, Chang Fu was busy boiling soup in front of a large pot, which was specially prepared for the people of Taimiao, and it was also specially explained by Hu Yong, the main purpose was obvious, that is, to assist the cultivation of those masters hidden in the temple, however, in order to hide the true identity of the masters of the Taimiao, this ginseng soup ensures that everyone in the entire Taimiao has a share!
"You go and help me bring some dry firewood, the fire is not strong enough!"
Chang Fu's somewhat pale face was oozing a trace of fine sweat, and he yelled at a little eunuch who helped behind him, the little eunuch hurriedly ran out in three steps and two steps, and Chang Fu was the only one left in the kitchen, he took out the black bottle from his arms with some trembling, and then quickly sprinkled the medicine powder into it.
Syllable!
Because he was too nervous, when he put the black bottle back in his arms, he accidentally fell to the ground, and at this time, the little eunuch holding dry firewood rushed back, Chang Fu's face oozed beads of sweat, and he hurriedly kicked the bottle into the stove fire hall, with a low explosion, a spark erupted from the stove fire hall!
"What's going on?
The little eunuch put the dry firewood next to him and asked in some surprise.
"It's nothing, I just threw some dry firewood from it, it seems to be holding something, and it exploded, it's okay, quick, add firewood!"
Chang Fu swallowed nervously and spit, picked up a pile of dry firewood and threw it into the stove hall, and because he was too nervous, his hands were trembling slightly, but the little eunuch didn't notice anything abnormal, he bowed down and helped Chang Fu get busy.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Chang Fu wiped the beads of sweat from his face, took a huge soup spoon, and slowly stirred it in the pot of ginseng soup......
