In Daxuan, eunuchs are generally not very friendly to their colleagues, because the chances of eunuchs taking care of each other are not high, and the chance of hurting each other is very high, so the eunuchs are very wary of each other.
Just like Chang Decai met these three eunuchs in the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice today.
Although they are comrades living in a foreign country, Changde will not show mercy to them.
"What are you three little monkeys doing here?"
This is said in a friendly way, but it does not mean that Changde Cai is really kind.
If these three eunuchs answer carelessly, they will never have a chance to speak again.
Qin Yan was more courageous. He couldn't see Chang Decai's appearance, but could only hear Chang Decai's voice.
Her voice was delicate and soft, and her body smelled of makeup and powder. This person was obviously a woman.
Will the women be from the same school?
Why not?
The founder of Taoism also looks like a woman.
Qin Yan asked first: "Are you a senior from the Taoist sect?"
Chang Decai smiled and said, "So what?"
The three eunuchs knelt on the ground in unison, turned around with their knees, and kowtowed to Chang Decai: "Senior, we are under the orders of the founder of the Taoist sect and ask for your guidance in practice."
Chang Decai was shocked, pointed at the three of them and said, "Shut your mouths!"
In the past, if they were so noisy, Chang Decai would have killed them long ago.
But when they mentioned the Taoist Patriarch, Chang De did not dare to take action easily, and asked: "The Patriarch asked you to come here to find me?"
Qin Yan nodded: "Xingjun told us..."
Snapped!
Chang Decai stepped forward and slapped Qin Yan.
"You call the Patriarch Xingjun?"
Wrong call?
"The Secret Record of Canrou" says that his name is Xingjun.
Qin Yan originally wanted to show off her qualities as an expert, but unexpectedly she made the wrong call as soon as she opened her mouth.
That's all, let's call him Patriarch in a proper manner.
"The Patriarch told us to come to the Penalty Department Yamen tonight, and Senior you will give us guidance on how to practice in the future."
"The Patriarch asked me to teach you how to practice?" Chang Decai snorted coldly, "Why didn't I have such good luck when I was practicing? Why didn't the Patriarch ask me to find a senior to teach me?"
The three of them looked at each other, but they didn't expect Chang Decai's attitude to be unfriendly.
Qin Yan kowtowed again and wanted to continue to beg. Unexpectedly, Chang Decai suddenly changed his face and said: "For the sake of the ancestor, I will let you live. Get away from me."
"senior……"
"I told you to get out, but you couldn't hear clearly!"
Chang De moved his fingers slightly, and the three of them saw an afterimage passing in front of their eyes.
Qin Yan has a fifth-grade cultivation, Li Genquan has a sixth-grade middle level, and Yue Liusheng has only a seventh-grade lower level.
The finger just poked them in the eyes and blinded them, and poked them in the chest and killed them directly.
The three of them did not dare to argue any more and left the Penal Department Yamen like flying. When they arrived at the Yamen Gate, they saw two more people.
One is Zhao Jindong, the young eunuch of the Internal Affairs Supervisor, and the other is Liu Yupeng, the eunuch in charge of Shangbao Supervisor.
These two people were also looking for guidance from experts and were still waiting at the door with their necks stretched out.
Li Quangen shouted: "Brother Zhao, Brother Liu, please come this way."
Zhao Jindong and Liu Yupeng were also startled and almost used force. After Qin Yan and Li Quangen explained the matter clearly, the five of them gathered in a deep alley and had a brief discussion.
These five people have all been practicing Taoism for many years. Even Yue Liusheng, who was the latest to join Taoism, has been practicing for almost ten years.
They all had different ways of entering Taoism. Qin Yan got the secrets from his predecessors, and Li Quangen accidentally discovered an ancient eunuch scroll when he was cleaning the library.
Zhao Jindong met a prisoner who escaped from Xuanguo. At that time, he was still a low-level chamberlain. He and Liu Yupeng pooled money and bought some eunuch practice methods from that person.
Yue Liusheng was the official secretary of the Shang Yi Jian, who was responsible for all the large and small clothing in the palace. A cloth merchant negotiated with Yue Liu Sheng and gave him a secret book of eunuchs that had been copied by countless hands.
There are errors and omissions in the records in such books, but Yue Liusheng was extremely talented. After entering the rank, he practiced hard and was accidentally discovered by Li Quangen, who made him his disciple. Li Quangen was in the sixth rank, and he also trained Yue Liusheng to the seventh rank.
These five people met each other late, but the important point right now is that the Taoist senior recommended by the Patriarch is unwilling to pay attention to them.
Everyone couldn't understand the reason. After a long discussion, Qin Yan came to the conclusion: "Our hearts are still not sincere. This senior has been favored by the ancestor. How can we easily pass on his unique skills to others? Let's come here empty-handed and kowtow."
I'm so big, I just want someone to give me advice, how can it be so cheap?"
Zhao Jindong said: "You mean, we should prepare some gifts?"
Liu Yupeng said: "I'm in a hurry, where can I find it?"
Yue Liusheng said: "It's easy to say, let's go back to the Divine Lord's Palace now and get some things out of the palace."
Zhao Jindong lowered his head and said, "Is this appropriate?"
Li Quangen smiled and said, "You don't know whether it's suitable or not? After so many years of service, which one of you hasn't passed anything through the palace?"
Everyone made a decision and were about to return to the palace when Qin Yan said: "We can't go together, it will easily arouse suspicion. I will go to the east gate, Li Zhangyin will take Xiaoyue to the west gate, and Lao Zhao and Lao Liu will go to the south gate. Let's disperse on the spot."
, each take a shortcut!"
The five of them agreed and set off separately.
Qin Yan walked around the Xingbu Yamen and returned to the courtyard.
Gifts can be given later, but the opportunity in front of you cannot be missed. If the senior leaves, there will be no chance to meet him in the future.
Qin Yan was still waiting at the door of the study, and there was faint movement of rummaging around in the study.
What is this senior looking for in the Ministry of Justice?
Li Quangen said: "I guess I'm looking for evidence."
Qin Yan was shocked: "Why are you back?"
"Brother Qin, you are a smart person, but you can't think of me as stupid, right? When can I not buy gifts?"
Zhao Jindong said from the side: "Yes, we have to keep an eye on the seniors today."
Liu Jinpeng and Yue Liusheng smiled and nodded beside them. None of them went back to the Divine Lord's Hall. They all came back after going around in a circle. Otherwise, the eunuchs didn't like their fellow eunuchs, and they almost never told the truth to each other.
Xu Zhiqiong, Yang Wu and Chang Decai were looking for a hidden compartment in the study. They searched for a while but couldn't find it. Just when they were feeling anxious, there was another movement outside the door.
Chang Decai gritted his teeth and said, "These guys dare to come back. They really don't know whether to live or die."
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Who are the people outside?"
"Master, don't worry, I'll just take care of it." Before he finished speaking, Chang De stood there, sweat dripping from his forehead and temples.
"What's wrong, Lao Chang?" Yang Wu asked with concern.
A voice was echoing in Chang Decai's ears: "Accept them as disciples and lead them on the right path."
Canrou Xingxu gave Chang Decai a dream more than once, and Changde finally knew her voice.
This is indeed the founder of Taoism.
But why did she ask me to accept a disciple at this time?
"Hurry up and go!" Can Rouxing urged in his ear.
"Grandmaster, I am doing serious things." Chang Decai replied in his mind.
"Working for your master is a serious matter, but working for a Taoist sect is not serious? You are becoming more and more presumptuous."
"But I'm not familiar with those people outside the door."
"I know their details, you just go."
"I have to discuss this with the master no matter what."
"You're not going, are you?" Canrou Xingxu was angry, "I'll let you grow a penis now, and become a complete man in the future!"
Chang Decai was shocked and quickly untied his dress.
Yang Wu was startled and quickly blocked Lao Chang: "What are you doing? Why do you need to urinate? You can't let others see it!"
Chang De just looked at it for a moment and found nothing. He then raised his head and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Master, I have something urgent."
Yang Wu was startled: "If you have something urgent, tell me. What's the use of telling him?"
Chang Decai said with tears in his eyes: "Master, I know this is inappropriate, but I must agree to it."
She told them that there was a group of servants outside the door who wanted to learn from her, as well as Canrou Xingxu's attitude.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled when he heard this and said: "Since it is the will of Xingxu, I cannot shirk it, so just accept it."
Chang Decai said: "But I don't know the origin of this group of people. I'm afraid they will ruin the master's important affairs."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "They can't ruin things, you just accept it, there is a big deal here!"
Chang Decai went to the courtyard filled with anxiety and walked up to the five people.
The five of them knelt on the ground and refused to comment. They just kowtowed to Chang Decai.
Chang Decai frowned and said: "Get up. Although our Taoist sect is from a servant background, we don't have to look down on ourselves so much. In the future, don't kneel down to others unless you have to. If you want to follow me, you have to learn to be a little harder."
Chang Decai agreed to accept his disciples. The five of them shed tears of gratitude, and Yue Liusheng actually burst into tears.
Chang Decai said again: "I have something important to do tonight. Three days from now, at this time, you can wait for me at the Wanshou Pavilion in Yangguan Village outside the city."
Everyone clasped their fists and was about to leave, but suddenly Xu Zhiqiong opened the door and said to everyone: "Everyone, come in and help me!"
Chang Decai saw this and said to everyone: "This is my master. You must be more respectful. If I let you in, you can go in!"
The five chamberlains quickly entered the study and when they saw Xu Zhiqiong, they all called them master.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I am busy looking for something. I wonder if you can help me."
Li Quangen smiled and said: "Master, I guess you are looking for evidence."
Chang Decai frowned and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we are not looking for any evidence, we are..."
Chang Decai was embarrassed to say it, so Yang Wu said directly: "We are here to find money."
Li Quangen looked at Yang Wudao: "I don't know what you call me."
Yang Wu patted his chest: "You can just call me Shi Niang."
Everyone laughed a few times, and Chang Decai's cheeks turned red.
Li Quangen said: "Master, the evidence I mentioned is what you are looking for. The son of the cloth merchant Chen Chunliang and the son of the leather merchant Huo Jingfeng fought in the street and killed several servants. The matter has been brought to the Ministry of Punishment. So far, there is no conclusion. They They all say that the other party made the move first, but no one can provide any evidence.
So Chen Chunliang sent evidence to the Minister of Punishment last night, including one thousand taels of gold, and now the ironclad evidence is like a mountain of gold. This matter must be blamed on Huo Jingfeng's son."
Yang Wu slapped his thigh and praised Li Quangen: "You are a sensible kid. This is what we are looking for."
Li Quangen smiled: "Master, Master, Mistress, if you can trust me, I will come find this thing."
Chang Decai looked at Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded slightly.
Li Quangen walked to the desk, touched the pen washer first, turned the pen washer from left to right twice, then looked back at the vase on the flower stand, and turned the vase one and a half times from right to left.
A secret door opened silently on the wall.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "If you don't tell me, there is a big deal here."
Yang Wu looked at the yellow and white things hidden in the secret room and said with a silly smile on his face: "This business is really not small."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Li Quangen and the remaining four chamberlains, nodded repeatedly and said: "This business is indeed not a small one."
