The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 868 The Eunuch's Son

"Eunuch is just pretending to be stupid, not very smart." Xuan Shijing smiled and looked straight at the eunuch in front of him: "Could it be that Eunuch is not surprised at all when he sees that the Marquis is now in good health? If so According to the estimates of my father-in-law and Chang Sun Chong, this Marquis shouldn't be living like a tiger in the vanguard camp right now."

When Xuan Shijing mentioned Changsun Chong, the eunuch thumped in his heart, and murmured that it was not good. It seems that Marquis Dongshan knew that he had tampered with his decoction.

"Lord Hou, spare me!" The eunuch immediately knelt down in front of Xuan Shijing. Murdering a noble is not a small crime. Now that Dongshanhou has brought himself here, it means that His Majesty doesn't know about it yet. Now Dongshanhou is fine. , if he could ask for his forgiveness, he would not have lost his life.

"Ben Hou found out that it is only when things come to an end that he will start to regret his mistakes, but even so, is it too late?" Xuan Shijing looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground and said: "Collude with Changsun Chong to murder Ben Hou , or under His Majesty's nose, you are quite courageous."

As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, the eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed more frequently: "Master Hou, please forgive me, the young one is also forced to do nothing, if you don't follow the instructions of the grandson, the young relatives in the country will not be able to survive. Already."

Xuan Shijing didn't speak, and Jin Yiwei sneered: "You eunuch pickle, don't fool my Lord Hou, but you were sold to the palace as a eunuch since you were a child, where did your relatives come from, and you are still making up nonsense here !"

The eunuch's identity has been investigated by Jin Yiwei, and he heard from other eunuchs in the city lord's mansion that this person has no relatives at all in his hometown. Furthermore, if he has relatives, as long as he has a morsel of food, how could he be sold back then? In the palace, the root of his descendants was cut off, and judging from the year he entered the palace, it was obviously not a year of catastrophe, and the hardworking people would always have something to eat.

"Hou Ye Mingjian, it is a distant relative of the young one, and the Hou Ye also knows that the young one is an eunuch who has no descendants, so he has no ability to carry on the family line. The distant relative adopted a son for the young one, and he lived in his hometown. , I’m preparing to receive Chang’an during the Chinese New Year.” In order to prove that his words were credible, the eunuch revealed some of his secrets.

Being a eunuch in the palace, especially one who can occasionally show his face in front of His Majesty, is a lucrative position, but he is a eunuch, and no amount of money is of much use, except to satisfy the little sneakiness in his heart In addition, the adoption of a son by a distant relative in his hometown also gave him hope, at least he can be regarded as a successor, right? After a hundred years, there will also be an incense tablet to enshrine. He has saved some money over the years , enough to buy a house in Chang'an City.

Adding the objects in this house was also a considerable expense, so when Chang Sun Chong found the eunuch, he lured him with a lot of money and threatened his son, even if the eunuch refused to follow him.

He is dead, but at least the house in Chang'an City and his son are still there.

"Master Hou, what the little one said is true, Master Hou is so kind." The eunuch kowtowed to Xuan Shijing while saying.

"Since you have confessed so honestly, then this Marquis will tell you to do one thing. If you do it well, not only will your house in Chang'an City and your son be preserved, but this Marquis will not even take your life." "Xuan Shijing looked at the eunuch and said: "After all, you have served Benhou for more than a month, so it is considered that Benhou has repaid your kindness."

"Yes, Lord Hou, please tell me, the little one will definitely die." The eunuch knelt on the ground and looked at Xuan Shijing and said, his expression was full of gratitude.

"You are inside the city lord's mansion. Help me watch over Changsun Wuji. If there is any disturbance, send a letter immediately. Every day, Jin Yiwei will meet you outside the city lord's mansion. Can you do it?" Xuan Shijing looked at the eunuch with a smile asked.

The eunuch pondered for a moment, thought about it secretly, and felt that it was not a difficult task, just observe calmly, so he quickly nodded in response.

"This Marquis can warn you that you must do your best to serve Ben Hou, otherwise, you know how powerful Jin Yiwei is, but Ben Hou doesn't think that you are better than the Zheng family and the Wang family." Xuan Shijing smiled Said: "Jin Yiwei's means, you will gradually know, things are done, and this Marquis can afford what you want, if you can't do it well. You are a mere eunuch, murdering nobles, this is enough to even you A crime that even distant relatives cannot escape.”

The eunuch murdered the nobles of the dynasty, and that was to confiscate the family and punish the nine clans.

"Yes, yes, Lord Hou, the little one understands, the little one understands." The eunuch quickly kowtowed to show that he understood what Xuan Shijing said.

To treat this kind of people, carrots and sticks are not enough. It is impossible not to beat and threaten them severely, but you must also give these people some benefits appropriately, otherwise they will not do things for you wholeheartedly, because they do things. Apart from the stakes, there is basically no lower limit.

If you can get someone who has nothing to do with you to be your son, there is nothing you can't do. It is said that it is a distant relative, and this includes the distant house, so it is eight clothes.

"Back off." Xuan Shijing waved his hand.

"Yes." The eunuch stood up tremblingly, bowed and exited the tent.

"Master Hou, you just put him back like this? What if he..." Jin Yiwei looked at Xuan Shijing and hesitated to speak.

"Isn't there still you here? Keep an eye on him, find out that there is something wrong with him, and beat him in time. As long as he knows that he is afraid, he will not dare to make any more waves. It is better for him to act in the city lord's mansion." It's much more convenient for you," Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." Jin Yiwei responded and left.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Bingyue slipped into Xuan Shijing's tent without making a sound.

"Master Hou."

Xuan Shijing looked up at Qin Bingyue: "Is everything settled?"

Qin Bingyue nodded: "Well, the things have been given to the eunuch. From today onwards, they will be added to Chang Sun Chong's meals. It will take at least a month for Chang Sun Chong's body to develop symptoms."

"Very good." Xuan Shijing smiled: "The next thing is left to the eunuch to do, he knows what to do, since both sides have grasped his vitals, then the next thing is nothing more than Whoever benefits him more is all."

"Master Hou is not afraid that something will happen to Master Hou?" Qin Bingyue asked.

"That's why I asked you to find the evidence that Chang Sun Chong wanted to murder me. As long as the evidence is in hand, we will be invincible. Whether Chang Sun Chong lives or dies is all caused by his family, and we can't blame others. "Xuan Shijing said: "If you don't find a heavyweight chicken to kill, how can you let those monkeys who want to covet me see clearly.
