Chapter 881 The Secret Affairs of the Imperial Court
Chapter 881 Imperial Court Secrets
As for the other two, just by looking at their clothes, we can tell that they are Zhou Xing's subordinates.
At this time, the main reason why the three of them gathered here to drink and have fun was to drink and celebrate.
As for the person who initiated it, of course it was Zhou Xing, the boss of the two young eunuchs.
At this time, Zhou Xing didn't know how much wine he had drunk. When he burped frequently, he also lost a lot of scruples in his words.
"Xiao Er, Xiao Wu, this person, whether outside the palace or inside the palace, must be regarded as a superior person."
"Look at me now, I'm just a small official in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"But the benefit I get from those women in the cold palace is enough for you two to get it for a lifetime."
"Do you two know how much silver I got from that cold palace last time?"
"Even if you two little bastards guessed it, you still wouldn't be able to figure it out."
When Zhou Xing said this, he laughed openly.
At the same time, he also poured himself a full bowl of wine, but he was not in a hurry to drink it.
From the looks of it, he must be waiting for the two subordinates across from him with shocked expressions on their faces.
The two low-level eunuchs named Xiaoer and Xiaowu also speculated for a long time after listening to Zhou Xing's questions.
Some guessed a few thousand taels, and some guessed tens of thousands taels.
But after guessing for half a quarter of an hour, I still couldn't guess the exact number.
And when Zhou Xing blurted out, that time made him earn a hundred thousand taels.
The two young eunuchs sitting opposite him were immediately shocked and dumbfounded. They did not say a word for a long time.
And after Zhou Xing got what he wanted, he felt extremely proud.
But immediately, the expression on his face became dull.
"Although those silver coins are a bit too much, there are also a lot of troubles that follow."
"If in the future, that woman reports these things about me to the higher authorities, it will be difficult for me to handle."
"But sometimes, if good luck comes, you really can't stop it even if you want to."
"Actually, after I got the full one hundred thousand taels, I kept thinking about how I could kill that woman in the cold palace without anyone noticing."
"After all, as long as she dies, I will no longer have these troubles."
"But today, the little girl in the cold palace has actually been attracted by a Taoist with extremely powerful magic, and he has also accused her of being an evil god and evil ghost."
"Hahaha, let me see. In a few days, that woman will definitely die."
"And my worries, from now on, will be blown away by the wind and will no longer be a worry."
When Zhou Xing finished speaking these words, he picked up the wine bowl in front of him with excitement, raised his head, and drank the whole bowl of wine.
But when Zhou Xing had just put the wine bowl on the table, a eunuch named Xiaoer sitting opposite him started talking again:
"Director Zhou, I heard a few days ago that after you called the imperial physician to the woman in the cold palace, the imperial physician died unexpectedly in the middle of the night."
"Some people said they encountered evil spirits and were frightened to death."
"And some people say that he died of suicide."
"I wonder if Director Zhou has ever heard of this?"
However, when Zhou Xing suddenly heard that the eunuch named Xiaoer mentioned the death of Dr. Li, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Although this Zhou Xing is considered a well-informed figure in the harem.
But regarding that matter, he still had no clue about the truth behind it.
While Zhou Xing was hesitating and pondering, the eunuch named Xiao Wu who was sitting next to Waiter said with a frown:
"Let me tell you, Doctor Li was not frightened to death by any evil spirits, nor did he commit suicide."
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Zhou Xing, who was sitting opposite, suddenly said without thinking too much:
"How can I see it?"
"A person like me, who is well-informed about everything, has never known all the details. How can a little eunuch like you know such details?"
When Xiao Wu heard this, his immediate boss, Zhou Xing, now began to question his words. When he was anxious, his tone of voice became three points more urgent than before:
"Director Zhou, I definitely didn't lie just now."
"Actually, that night, when the palace guards carried Dr. Li out, I was watching from a distance."
"I was still wondering at that time, why did the guards carry out the good doctor Li?"
"Although I was scared to death at the time, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I followed quietly from a distance."
"At that time, although I couldn't see clearly what caused the death of Imperial Physician Li, I could see a bloody patch on Imperial Physician Li's back."
When Xiao Wu said this, he looked at Xiao Er sitting next to him and Zhou Xing sitting opposite with an extremely solemn expression:
"Secretary, Director Zhou, you two said, if Dr. Li was frightened to death, how could there be such a large blood stain on his back?"
"If Imperial Physician Li committed suicide, wouldn't it be possible for his blood to cover his entire back?"
"Unless, then Doctor Li held a dagger and stabbed himself to death from the back."
"Think about it, you two, if a person really has a death wish, how could he use such an awkward method to kill himself?"
"So this suicide is obviously very unreasonable."
After Xiao Er and Zhou Xing listened to Xiao Wu's analysis, they couldn't help but frown and nod.
After a long time, Zhou Xing said thoughtfully:
"According to your analysis, the death of Dr. Li is indeed too weird."
Suddenly, Zhou Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, because he had already smelled the smell of conspiracy.
"I think it was because the woman in the harem was ill and I had no choice but to defraud her out of a hundred thousand taels of silver."
"And the woman's only request is that she wants me to find an imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to treat her."
"However, when Dr. Li treated the woman in the cold palace, he died inexplicably not long after."
"Could it be that Dr. Li saw something unspeakable when he was treating the woman in the cold palace, so that Dr. Li was silenced by others?"
