Hu Xiaotian returned to Liu Yuzhang. At this time, Liu Yuzhang's pain was slightly relieved. He whispered: "Mustache...what happened outside?"
Hu Xiaotian responded respectfully: "Wang Decai, the eunuch of Xinning Palace, came over and said he was looking for his younger brother. He accidentally fell down and fell so embarrassingly that everyone laughed."
Liu Yuzhang asked: "Did you break your leg?" This old eunuch didn't try to flatter anyone.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
Liu Yuzhang sighed and said: "You are young after all. One fall from the Zajia family and half of your life was taken away."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Eunuch Liu is blessed with good luck and good fortune, so it won't take long for him to fully recover."
Liu Yuzhang said: "It takes a hundred days for my bones and muscles to break. Young people are like this. What's more, I am a dying old man. If the Za family is injured, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the affairs of the Siyuan Bureau."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Xiaotian will definitely do his best to do things well for my father-in-law."
Liu Yuzhang nodded: "Of course I can rest assured when you do things. By the way... you just said that Wang Desheng came to see his brother. I don't seem to have seen Wang Desheng in the past two days."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Father, Xiaotian has no contact with this person, so he will not pay attention to his affairs."
Liu Yuzhang said: "Have someone come find him. I have something to say to him face to face."
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that Wang Desheng had already met the King of Hell, where should I go to find him? If you want to talk to him in person, I'm afraid you have to wait until a hundred years later. But you still agreed in person. At this time, the imperial doctor came over, and Hu Xiaotian looked on
The imperial physician examined Liu Yuzhang's illness. As he expected, Liu Yuzhang's left leg fell and fractured. After the imperial physician fixed it with a splint, he also gave him some plaster and gave him a recovery date of at least a hundred days.
Liu Yuzhang's broken leg still had a great impact on the Siyuan Bureau. The most direct impact was that the palace sent another eunuch with a palm print. Hu Xiaotian went out for shopping as usual the next morning. He
Hu Xiaotian made an appointment with Quan De'an to meet at Lijiaong, not far from Feicui Hall. Hu Xiaotian learned about the change of the eunuch in the Siyuan Bureau from Quan De'an.
Hu Xiaotian is still quite concerned about this matter. After all, who will succeed the eunuch of Siyuan Bureau is closely related to his future situation.
Quan De'an said: "Tomorrow there will be a new eunuch to take over Liu Yuzhang's position."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan, Liu Yuzhang usually doesn't ask much about Siyuan Bureau matters. They all say that he is deeply favored by the emperor. Why do they need to be replaced in such a short time?"
Quan De'an sneered and said: "No one can be favored forever. Liu Yuzhang is a good man. Although he has not offended anyone in the palace, his position has hindered many people's eyes. No matter whether he was injured or not
, He has not been in this position for a long time. He is not a fool, Xiaotian. You may not know, but Liu Yuzhang took the initiative to resign."
Hu Xiaotian said in astonishment: "How could this happen?"
Quan De'an said: "Do you know who has the most power in the palace today?"
"Of course the Emperor."
"Where is it inside the eunuch?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and looked at Quan De'an. In his opinion, Quan De'an once escorted the little princess and saved the royal family from danger, and now he holds the position of Chief Superintendent of Ceremonies. The most powerful among the eunuchs is undoubtedly
He did. Speaking of which, the old eunuch also bet on the right treasure and the right person.
Quan De'an slowly shook his head and said: "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, the person closest to you is not me." There was a touch of disappointment in his words.
Hu Xiaotian thought that the old eunuch must have fallen out of favor, so he felt unbalanced. He became very interested in the person closest to the emperor: "Then who is the emperor's favorite person?"
Quan De'an said: "You will know later." He tapped his sharp fingers lightly on the stone table, stared at Hu Xiaotian's face with deep eyes and said: "As far as I know, the Internal Affairs Bureau has appointed Wei Hualin to go there
Siyuan Bureau succeeds Liu Yuzhang. He is greedy and narrow-minded. You will probably not get a good job under him."
Hu Xiaotian took a breath of air-conditioning. This good life hadn't lasted only two days, so why was it suddenly going to change?
Quan De'an said: "What have you discovered in Siyuan Bureau in the past two days?"
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, hesitating whether he should tell the truth about his discovery.
Quan De'an frowned. He seemed to be aware that Hu Xiaotian had something on his mind.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yesterday Qiqi deceived me into Chuxiu Palace and asked a group of young eunuchs to tie me up."
When Quan De'an heard him talking about this, his white eyebrows stretched and he smiled and said: "She still can't swallow the feeling of being bullied by you in the past. Don't worry, she won't make things difficult for you. She's just bored in the palace. Looking for
Just some fun."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan, I'm not worried about her teasing me, but I'm worried about that... you should understand."
Quan De'an said: "Then avoid her."
Hu Xiaotian bit his lip.
Quan De'an said: "I think after Wei Hualin goes to Siyuan Bureau, you may not have a good life in the short term, and the procurement matters out of the palace are expected to change."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Does he dare not to give you face?"
Quan De'an said: "I just don't want him to know the relationship between us. Once the emperor and the courtier, Liu Yuzhang entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. Wei Hualin should not use you after he leaves."
Hu Xiaotian suddenly became depressed. He thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth about what happened recently and looked around.
Quan De'an had already noticed from his expression that he must have something to say, and said calmly: "If you have something to say, just say it, and don't hide it from the Zajia family."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Eunuch Quan, actually...actually I killed a person..."
Quan De'an's white eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. He never expected that Hu Xiaotian was talking about this. He habitually twisted the orchid fingers on his right hand: "Which one?"
Hu Xiaotian then told the story of his manslaughter of Wang Desheng, but he did not tell the truth about everything that happened. He concealed some key parts, such as the appearance of the palace maid Bao Bao, and only said that he secretly secretly killed Wang Desheng in the wine cellar.
While practicing Qigong, Wang Desheng suddenly jumped out of nowhere and wanted to harm him.
After hearing what he said, Quan De'an's originally stern face became more serious and solemn. He whispered: "You mean there is a secret passage hidden under the Siyuan Bureau wine cellar?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "That's right." He found that Quan De'an was obviously more interested in the tunnels than the murder of Wang Desheng, and he felt a little more at ease. It seemed that the death of one or two eunuchs in the palace was really not a big deal.
Quan De'an crossed his four dry fingers and said thoughtfully: "Are you sure it's not a palace waterway?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am sure that it should be a secret tunnel dug by others."
Quan De'an asked: "Where does it connect to?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although I discovered the secret passage, I only went down for a short distance. I was afraid of losing the way, so I didn't continue to explore where the exit was." He was obviously lying. In fact, he had found out that a secret passage led directly to
Harem Yaochi, but if he hands all his trump cards to Quan De'an, wouldn't his use value of the old eunuch be weakened a lot. Hu Xiaotian sees this very clearly. Once he loses the value of his use, the old eunuch will definitely give up.
It's like worn out shoes.
Quan De'an nodded slowly, and he quickly made a decision: "You should find out the exit of the secret passage as soon as possible, and give me the detailed map of the terrain as soon as possible."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Eunuch Quan, I think this matter may be a bit troublesome."
"What's the trouble?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Wei Hualin will take over Eunuch Liu's position. He may not use me, and he will most likely take back the key to the wine cellar. I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the wine cellar, so how can I help you find out the secret?"
Where is the exit of the Tao?"
Quan De'an said: "Then go back and investigate as soon as possible. We will find out tonight." He didn't seem to understand what Hu Xiaotian meant. Hu Xiaotian's real intention was to want Quan De'an to use his influence in the court to prevent Wei Hualin from going to Siyuan.
Bureau took over Liu Yuzhang's position.
"Eunuch Quan, actually that Wang Desheng has an older brother. He is now a popular figure around Queen Jian. Today he came to seek bad luck on me. I think he has already suspected me."
Quan De'an said: "You don't have to tell the Zajia about these little things. What should be done? You know in your heart that Wei Hualin's matter has become a foregone conclusion. You can find out all the secrets inside the wine cellar before he takes office. If after he takes office
, targeting you everywhere, the Zajia family will arrange for you to leave Siyuan Bureau and find another place for you to go."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "What should I do with the corpse?" He mentioned this matter deliberately and wanted to see how Quan De'an would handle these matters.
Quan De'an gave him a cold look, took out a dark green vial from his arms and handed it to Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian happily took it and asked curiously: "What is it?"
Quan De'an said: "Bone-turning water."
Hu Xiaotian shuddered when he heard these three words, but he randomly picked up the vial and looked at it: "Can such a small vial dissolve such a large corpse?"
Quan De'an said: "You only need to put a drop on the corpse. When the bone-melting water meets the corpse, it will immediately turn into pus and blood. The corpse will be completely transformed in a cup of tea."
Hu Xiaotian took a breath of air: "So powerful?"
Quan De'an said: "Be careful when using it. If it gets stuck on your body, you will suffer the same fate as the corpse."
Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue: "You should keep such a vicious thing to yourself." He said this, but he still put away the bone-melting water and destroyed the corpse. It was really necessary at the critical moment.
.
After meeting Quan De'an, Hu Xiaotian suddenly felt a little bad. Wei Hualin's replacement of Liu Yuzhang's seat meant that his good days in the Siyuan Bureau were over. If Wei Hualin really confiscated his comprador power, then
Wouldn’t he have no chance to leave the palace for some fresh air in the future?
Hu Xiaotian originally thought that Quan De'an could control the eunuchs in the harem, but now he found that there were many things that he was powerless to do. As the governor of the Siyuan Bureau, he could not influence the selection of the eunuchs in charge of the Siyuan Bureau. It seemed that Quan De'an was among the eunuchs in the palace.
An is not a being who can control the sky with one hand. Hu Xiaotian can't help but be a little disappointed, but he also understands that Quan De'an is cunning and cunning. There is another reason why he is unwilling to contribute, that is, he did not inform him of the details of the secret passage. It seems that he wants to let Quan De'an
De'an, an old fox, must act for himself when doing things for himself.
