Not long after, three old eunuchs came out with Eunuch Li. They all looked to be over fifty years old, with deep wrinkles on their faces, big frames, and thin bodies.
There is a meanness and sharpness in his eyes that is unique to an old eunuch, which makes people dare not look down upon him.
Among them, Deputy General Manager Lin is Eunuch Li’s deputy and is mainly responsible for assisting Eunuch Li.
Among the other two stewards, Steward Song is responsible for managing the palace's private treasury, while Steward Luo is responsible for managing personnel.
In this way, the personnel management framework in Changqing Palace was basically established.
Eunuch Li briefly introduced the three of them, and everyone greeted them one after another: "I have met Deputy Manager Lin, I have met Manager Song, and I have met Manager Luo."
"Everyone, get up and do your best from now on."
After a brief meeting, Eunuch Li took the people away, and everyone relaxed a little.
Being able to survive for a long time in the deep palace and inner courtyard is also a skill.
It is said that people become better with age, especially in the palace. Since these three old eunuchs are highly regarded by Eunuch Li, they are not simple people.
Yang Fan had just secretly observed the three people's hands and found that they were covered with calluses. They were obviously martial arts masters and not as weak as they appeared on the surface.
With nothing to do, Yang Fan found a place and started practicing Qi and blood again.
My progress in practicing and polishing my Qi and Blood is very slow, but it is better than nothing. I still have six Qi and Blood Pills left in my arms, and I think I can sustain them for a few days.
Relying on the "Qi and Blood Guidance Chart" that he had memorized, Yang Fan began to move the qi and blood step by step, and it turned out to be much more efficient than before.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he opened his mouth and swallowed a Qi-Blood Pill. The Qi-Blood Pill turned into a warm current in his abdomen, and he controlled it to flow to all parts of the body.
Sure enough, the treatment of those with krypton gold and those without krypton gold is completely different.
This energy and blood pill is at least worth ten days of all-out training, but the price of such training is too high!
You know, this is only five taels of silver!
It was gone after just one mouthful, which made Yang Fan couldn't help but feel distressed. In the end, he had to comfort himself that it was all for nothing, so he could barely feel better.
While thinking about it, he casually stuffed another one into his mouth.
If other people knew that he was taking medicine like this, they would probably be jealous to death. It was really a free thing and I didn’t know how to feel.
Of course, while Yang Fan was practicing, he was also thinking about ways to make money.
Robbery and cutting leeks can make money quickly, but the risks are also high. Once you encounter a troublesome guy or are discovered, something could easily happen.
But if he relied solely on monthly money and rewards, it would take him several months to save a Qi and Blood Pill. If he had that time, he might as well go robbing.
Even if you get caught, it will at least be a relief.
"I have no choice but to go to the black market in the deep palace that Xiao Lianzi mentioned to see if there are any new ways to make money. By the way, I can sell the "Eagle Claw Kung Fu" and get some money.
"
Yang Fan secretly decided.
The day passed in a blink of an eye, and night fell again.
In the Changqing Palace, several personal maids stayed to serve Concubine Chen, while the other maids and eunuchs slowly left the palace and returned to the servants' rooms.
Yang Fan is naturally among them.
After practicing for a day, he was mentally tired due to the long time required to circulate his energy and blood, and he fell asleep soon after.
Before dawn the next day, he woke up as usual. His body was full of strength again. He changed his clothes, went out to practice, wash up, and eat. Everything was very regular.
However, something unexpected happened during the click.
A palace maid is missing.
Manager Luo, who was on duty on the first day, looked a little gloomy. His eyes were like knives across everyone's faces, and he said in a sinister voice: "You are so brave. It's our first time to order mao, and you dare to be lazy."
Not coming!"
"Get some people and bring her over to me!"
"Our family must enforce the palace rules!"
As soon as Manager Luo said these words, all the eunuchs and maids present felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that this old eunuch was the most important person in the new official's appointment and was about to establish his authority!
That palace rule is not easy to bear. It is made of specially tanned cowhide and dipped in oil. With ten lashes, it can easily kill half of a person's life!
They could only bite the bullet and go looking for the palace maid.
However, the maid was not in the room, nor anywhere else.
Did he disappear?
Manager Luo frowned and began to arrange for others to follow him in the search. After all, the Evergreen Palace was so big that it was impossible for him to disappear for no reason.
Unless the person is not in Changqing Palace at all.
After searching for more than half an hour, everyone finally found the palace maid.
However, she had already died in the side hall, and the death condition was extremely horrific. The blood in her body disappeared strangely, leaving only a piece of shriveled human skin, with all the hair still there!
"hiss!"
Seeing this scene, a burst of cold air suddenly rose from the soles of everyone's feet and went straight to the top of their heads.
No one expected this result!
Yang Fan was also beating the drum in his heart.
Manager Luo's face darkened, he walked quickly through the crowd, squatted in front of the human skin, and carefully examined it.
After some inspection, he found that not only the blood disappeared under the human skin, but also the muscles, bones and flesh all over the body. In addition, there was a satisfied smile on the face of the withered human skin.
It seemed that while he was immersed in some kind of happiness, his life was suddenly taken away.
"Damn it, is it murder, or is there something evil?"
Manager Luo was a little uneasy.
You know, this is deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, how could such a weird thing happen!
It stands to reason that where the dragon's energy is, all evil will retreat, and there can be no evil spirits appearing. Then the only explanation is that someone has done such evil things!
Fortunately, this is a palace maid, but what if it is Concubine Chen?
Manager Luo felt a chill in his heart, and immediately asked people to seal off the place, and quickly went to find Eunuch Li.
Yang Fan and others locked the side hall. Before locking the door, he glanced inside and felt that the human skin was blown by the wind and seemed to twist slightly, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
This glance made Yang Fan's scalp feel numb.
The door was locked with a bang.
"What?"
Eunuch Li was resting in the palace at this time. When he heard Manager Luo talk about this, his expression changed, "Take me there quickly!"
Not long after, he appeared in the side hall. Looking down at the human skin on the ground, he also discovered the strangeness of the human skin.
"What a poisonous blood refining method. When did such a master appear in the deep palace!"
Eunuch Li let out a long breath.
"What, was it really done by humans?" Manager Luo was surprised.
"That's right, and the person who took action is still a great master, a great master at the level of skin refining!" Eunuch Li looked solemn.
"ah!"
Manager Luo's face changed wildly.
How could such a strong man be hidden in the inner courtyard of the palace!
Eunuch Li also looked ugly. It was fine for such a strong man to hide in the palace, but why did he focus on the Evergreen Palace!
Even though the other party just killed an ordinary palace maid!
But Eunuch Li still felt as if his liver and gallbladder were both cold and like a thorn in his back!
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard the words "The Emperor has arrived" coming from outside, and the entire Evergreen Palace instantly became a mess.
"Your Majesty is here?"
"Why is it so sudden?"
Eunuch Li's expression changed drastically, and he immediately blocked the place again, and then walked out quickly.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately calmed down the chaotic scene. After scolding a few words, everyone began to pack up and prepare in an orderly manner to welcome the holy driver.
Yang Fan calmed down, mixed in the crowd, and finally met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Gaolie!
He has a graceful demeanor, a very noble face, and gray hair on both sides of his temples. He is obviously about fifty years old, but he gives people a feeling of twilight.
However, his aura and majesty were something Yang Fan had only seen in his life.
Even Chen Yinglong, the Marquis of the Martial Saint, and the strong man at the level of "Strong Bodhisattva" are like sparks of fire and dare not compete with the bright moon!
"Join Your Majesty."
Concubine Chen obviously dressed up quickly and walked in elegant palace attire. She was extremely charming and had a soft voice that made people's hearts flutter.
"Get flat."
Zhu Gaolie nodded and said, "I happened to be passing by here, so I came over to take a look. Yuan'er, are you still adapting to the move to Changqing Palace?"
"To tell you your Majesty, everything is fine with me in Changqing Palace. It's just that I haven't seen your Majesty for many days and I miss you very much." Concubine Chen said softly.
However, at this moment, Peng An, who was following Zhu Gaolie, suddenly frowned and felt a strong evil wind coming quickly.
"No, escort!"
The two doors of the side hall opened with a bang, and a human skin roared in!
