Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 809 Crying in the middle of the night
Duan Zifang talked with Hong Juncheng all night in the book pavilion, Qin Yan just stood outside the door, knowing nothing about the content of their conversation.

At dawn, Duan Zifang bid farewell and left, and Hong Juncheng ordered someone to send him outside the palace.

This person's background is not simple, this matter must be told to Master.

Qin Yan wanted to serve Hong Juncheng, and wanted to get away to deliver the letter, but he didn't have the opportunity at any time.

In this case, it depends on the tacit understanding between Li Quangen, Zhao Jindong, Yue Liusheng and Liu Yupeng.

The tacit understanding with Li Quangen is the most important, because Li Quangen is in charge of the Zhidian Supervisor, and there are servants in charge of cleaning everywhere in the palace, which is most suitable for news transmission.

According to the past practice, Li Quangen will definitely place a handyman near Qin Yan for Qin Yan to dispatch.

But today, Qin Yan couldn't find this person, and the servants who were sweeping around were obviously not cultivated in terms of their stature and behavior.

It was not until noon that the god allowed Qin Yan to go back to the room to rest, and Qin Yan was able to escape.

The letter had already been prepared, so he stuffed the letter into a Huang Pang, shook the Huang Pang left and right twelve times each, and then burned a sandalwood on Huang Pang's forehead before sending the letter out.

Qin Yan doesn't understand Yin-Yang art at all, so he can only use the magic weapon Yang Wu gave him to send the letter.

This method of delivering letters is very easy to expose. He is the eunuch who is the chief inspector of ceremonies and holds a clay doll to play with. If someone finds out, he will not be able to tell.

According to the past practice, it was Li Quangen who sent the letter, but today it was obviously Li Quangen's negligence.

This kind of mistake cannot be repeated, and this matter must be explained clearly to him.

Qin Yan went to Zhidian Supervisor to find Li Quangen on the grounds of arranging the cleaning, but saw that Li Quangen was sweating from anxiety.

"What happened?" Qin Yan asked.

"My disciple has been arrested." Li Quangen replied in a low voice.

Today, as before, Li Quangen also sent a handyman beside Qin Yan, and this servant was named Luo Songgui.

Except for Yue Liusheng, Li Quangen originally did not accept disciples, but Luo Songgui was quick-tempered and cautious in handling things, which was appreciated by Li Quangen. Li Quangen made an exception and brought him into the rank.

But Luo Songgui was out of luck today, and met Liu Pingsan, the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, on the way.

It stands to reason that the Zhidian Supervisor has nothing to do with the Yuma Supervisor, but this principal has another identity, he is a criminal officer appointed by the god.

There are more than 1000 eunuchs, large and small, in the Shenjun Hall, and Shenjun has recently appointed more than [-] criminal officials among the eunuchs.

These criminal officers specialize in investigating the faults of other servants, and once discovered, they will be directly deported to prison.

For criminal officers, arresting other servants is rewarding. Liu Pingsan arrested a total of 22 servants this month, and was promoted from a casual servant who cleaned the stables to the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Luo Songgui was unlucky today. His broom dropped a branch on the ground. He didn't notice it, but Liu Pingsan found it.

Liu Pingsan thought that the branch was very sharp, and it was deliberately setting a trap for the god, and he was suspected of assassinating, so he directly put Luo Songgui in prison.

Luo Songgui is Li Quangen's disciple, so he must be saved.

But his crime is too big to be rescued.

Qin Yan asked: "Yue Liusheng has just been transferred to take charge of the prison, and the little Liuzi is one of us, can't he think of a way?"

"I've thought of everything I can think of, but Liu Pingsan didn't let go, and the little six didn't do anything!" Li Quangen scolded, "Liu Pingsan, a bastard, set Luo Songgui's assassination on target, so I've gained a lot of knowledge, and I lost a little bit of it!" Broom, what kind of assassination is this? I've never seen such a shameless bastard like Liu Pingsan."

Qin Yan thought for a moment and said: "Leave this matter to me to deal with, Liu Pingsan has to show me some face, as long as he is willing to let go, and the prison side doesn't pursue it, this matter is over, you and Xiao Liu will talk about it again." .”

……

"Be honest!" After a brief interrogation, two servants took Luo Songgui into prison.

The other cells were crowded and dirty, but his cell was quite spacious. When Luo Songgui came in, there was only one old eunuch.

Luo Songgui was a smart man, he knew that good conditions meant bad conditions, and when the guard left, he asked the old eunuch in a low voice: "Are we two going to beheaded?"

The old eunuch sneered and said: "What are you afraid of? It's not like I will kill you alone. Those who enter this prison can't escape a knife. We can enjoy a few days of blessings, which is considered a blessing."

Luo Songgui was puzzled and said: "Their crimes are all trivial, should they also be beheaded?"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Did you commit a serious crime?"

"I was wronged by that bastard Liu Pingsan!"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Guess what I did? When I picked out the curtain of the sedan chair for the god, I accidentally cut a corner. They said I was hiding a sharp weapon and wanted to assassinate me!"

Luo Songgui was surprised: "Are you also accused of assassination?"

The old eunuch nodded: "Don't worry about the charges, we all have to die. Those who go to prison will die first, and those who don't go to prison will die sooner or later. You don't know what's going on here."

"What's the matter?"

The old eunuch sighed: "You are too young, when you live to my age, you will understand everything."

"How old are you?"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Guess what?"

Luo Songgui looked at the old eunuch, his face was a bit vicissitudes, but he was not too old.

"I think you're under fifty?"

"Not only, not more," the old eunuch shook his head, "I will be 51 when our god-king takes the throne."

When the gods succeeded to the throne 51?

Shenjun has been in power for 39 years, counting this time, he will be 90 years old!

90 years old, still working in the palace?
This is the first time I've heard of it.

Moreover, Luo Songgui had never seen the servants of the first emperor, and even his master Li Quangen entered the palace after the emperor succeeded to the throne.

Is this person lying?He doesn't look like 90 years old.

Just as Luo Songgui wanted to expose the other party, he suddenly remembered what Li Quangen said, adding a level of cultivation would increase his life expectancy by [-]%.

This old eunuch has a cultivation level, and it's not low, maybe it's about the same as the master.

He spoke politely, and asked carefully: "Old man, which prison are you walking in?"

"The department will set up a supervisor."

The department set up a prison, a guard of honor, a chariot, and a big umbrella.

What kind of occasion, what kind of battle and what kind of guys to serve the gods, belong to the errands with a lot of knowledge and rules.

Luo Songgui said: "Have you been working by Shenjun's side?"

"That's not true." The old eunuch shook his head and said, "When I first entered the palace, I was a casual messenger in the department's supervisor. I did all kinds of dirty and hard work, but I just never met the emperor.
I worked as a errand for more than ten years, and gradually became the chief executive, and my palm prints let me take care of the treasury, and I still can't see the god.

After managing the warehouse for more than ten years, I finally got mixed up with the principal. I thought I could go to the gods to learn more, but suddenly a criminal officer appeared in the palace. "

Luo Songgui was startled: "At that time, the late emperor also had criminal officials?"

"Yes!" The old eunuch sighed, "In the beginning, no one knew what the criminal officer did, but later it was discovered that once the criminal officer made a move, some people would go to the prison, and once they entered the prison, they would not be able to get out.
I was thinking about how I could avoid these criminal officials, and it happened that a villa was built outside the palace, and I heard that the emperor was going to live in the garden for a while, and he had to send two hundred servants to serve him.

I handed over all the money I earned over the years to the palm print eunuch. The palm print eunuch is a nice person. He really does his job after receiving the money. He arranged for me to go to another garden.
I just waited in the Bieyuan. After waiting for half a year, the god did not come, and the Bieyuan was abandoned, and we were transferred back to the palace.
When I went back to the palace, the old god passed away and the new god ascended the throne. As soon as I returned to the palace, I saw what the new god looked like.
Shenjun saw it, but none of the servants I knew,

From the Supervisor of Rites to the Supervisor of Zhidian, all the prisons in the palace are newcomers. Guess where are the old ones? "

Where have you been?
Luo Songgui also couldn't figure it out, he just felt a chill running down his spine: "He, they should have gone to the Jingu Prison, right?"

The Jingu Supervisor, in charge of sanitation and joss sticks in the temples of successive gods, guarded the temple gates for the gods who died before.

The old eunuch shook his head and said, "Son, you are so confused, how big is the palace eunuch, can it hold tens of thousands of servants?"

Luo Songgui was stunned and said: "The tens of thousands of servants are gone?"

"It's all gone. From the palm prints, the pens, the master, to the servants and errands below, everything is gone. The servants left by the late emperor, there are only more than 200 of us left."

"Then they were all sent home?"

The old eunuch smiled and said, "How long have you been in the palace? Don't you understand the rules of our Qiancheng Kingdom?

Which chamberlain have you ever seen get sent home?Unless on the day you die, the body can be thrown out!Otherwise, you will never have a home again in this life,

Let me tell you the truth, when I first returned to the palace, the blood was not wiped clean in some places!In some places, broken bones and scum can still be seen, those old people are dead! "

Luo Songgui shivered: "Old man, don't scare me!"

The old eunuch smiled wryly and said, "Why should I scare you? The palace is very big, and it's a little remote place. In the middle of the night, you can still hear the howling of that unjust ghost.
I've heard it, heard it many times, the cry is exactly the same as when they were alive! "

Luo Songgui sat on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

The old eunuch sighed and said: "So when the criminal officer comes, we can't dodge the knife, we all have to die!"

"I don't understand," Luo Songgui burst into tears, "If you kill us all, who will serve the god?"

"There are newcomers, and some are newcomers," the old eunuch laughed. "At the beginning, we left more than 200 people to teach the newcomers the rules and skills. If we teach the newcomers to understand, we should die too.

The people who came back with me were sent to the prison one after another within a year, and they never came out after entering the prison. "

Luo Songgui was taken aback when he heard the words: "Senior, how did you escape this disaster?"

"You ask me how I escaped this calamity?" The old eunuch smiled wryly, "Son, how can I tell you this, who told you that I escaped this calamity, hehehehe..."

The old eunuch lowered his head and kept laughing.

Luo Songgui sat on the ground, moving his body backward desperately.

"Hey hey hey, woo woo woo woo..." The laughter suddenly turned into crying, and two lines of blood dripped from the old eunuch's cheek.

"That's the cry, exactly the same as when I was alive, did you hear it this time?"

"I, I, I..." Under extreme fear, Luo Songgui couldn't speak well, and couldn't even shout out.

Two servants in charge of guarding the cell were whispering outside the door.

"He's the only one in this room, what is he talking about?"

"Who the hell knows, I must have felt that I was going to die, and I was so frightened that I went crazy!"
