Chu Huan left the Guangming Palace bored and lazily, still slandering the emperor in his heart, he was about to consummate the marriage with Su Niang at home, but was interrupted by life and summoned to the palace, when he arrived in the palace, he didn't do his business, instead he made a fuss Not happy.

He didn't know why the emperor announced his entry into the palace so late. He was puzzled, and when he came out of the palace, a gust of breeze came, but he was thinking about whether he should go to Su Niang's courtyard after returning to the mansion, and whether he should leave the palace. What was not done was done.

I heard screams in my ears, and I saw several eunuchs holding Yelisin not far away and laying a board under the supervision of Shui Lian. Chu Huan was expressionless, and heard Shui Lian shouting: Some, lighter, don't hurt Eunuch Ye!"

Chu Huan thought that this water ripple should be incompatible with Yelisin. With such a good opportunity, why not take care of it, it is possible that this water ripple is really afraid that Yelicin will settle in the autumn.

Shui Lian saw Chu Huan coming out of the palace at the other end, and hurried over, Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "The sage is tired, I will announce it another day, father-in-law, I am going out of the palace soon."

Shui Lian had already said: "The gate of the main palace has been closed, and it will not open after midnight. Master Chu, the miscellaneous family sent you to leave through the side door. Your carriage, the miscellaneous family has already sent someone to wait at the side door."

Chu Huan knew that this was the rule of the kilometer. For the safety of the palace, some palace gates had to be closed tightly, so he smiled and said: "Elder-in-law is also very tired, just send someone to take me there."

Shui Lian shook his head and said, "No, no, the miscellaneous family will send you off in person." She couldn't help but say that she wanted to take Chu Huan out of the palace, seeing that Shui Lian insisted, she couldn't refuse, so she followed Shui Lian out of the palace and passed by Na Yelisin , Seeing several eunuchs carrying out executions with wooden sticks, but these eunuchs did not seem to be heavy handed, but Yelicin screamed like a pig, and thought that this Yelicin was trying to pretend Doing this will arouse the sympathy of Empress Snow Flower in the inner palace.

After passing by, Shui Lian glanced back, with a smug expression on the corner of her mouth, but Chu Huan saw it in her eyes and felt a little weird, so she couldn't help but asked softly, "Elder-in-law, is this Yelicin just pretending?" ?”

Shui Lian chuckled, and said in a low voice: "When others ask, the miscellaneous family has their own words to deal with, but if Master Chu asks, the miscellaneous family can only tell you the truth. Master Chu, you know that these children are specialized in the palace. The executioner has been with the miscellaneous family for some years, and he still obeys the miscellaneous family's words." Chu Huan nodded, and knew that although Ye Lixin seemed to be majestic in the palace relying on the existence of the Snow Flower Empress, but But the foundation is far inferior to Shui Lian. The eunuchs and maids in this palace all have the eyes and ears of Shui Lian. For the sake of Empress Xuehua, Shui Lian dare not tear herself apart with Yelicin, but she really wants to fight Looking up, Yelisin may not be able to fight against the deep-rooted water ripples in the palace.

"Outsiders don't know this stick, but if you are an expert, you have a lot of knowledge." Shui Lian led Chu Huan out of the palace, and said in a low voice: "Master Chu saw that the children were very light, so I think that's okay. Li Xin is actually putting on a show?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Not bad."

Shui Lian said somewhat proudly: "Your Excellency Chu doesn't know something. These little guys who are executing the punishment are not weak. It is a good way to practice a cane punishment. Put a square of tofu on the table, cover it with a A layer of gauze, with enough strength, swung the stick and hit it down, I don’t know, I thought it was hitting the stone with all my strength, it’s called a strong one, but after you hit thirty or forty sticks, the gauze will be smashed. Take it away, make sure there is no crack in the tofu...!"

Chu Huan said "Oh", and Shui Lian continued: "Stuff the hay into a sack, put it on the ground, and then hit it with a stick. It seems that it is just touched. When you open the bag and look, the hay is full of dust." The root is broken!"

Chu Huan understood, and sighed: "This method is really amazing."

Shui Lian smiled and said: "If you are in the same group, there is always a way of doing it. Speaking of it, these methods did not start from the palace, but from the local yamen in the early years. It is said that in order to get some foreign money, the executioners specially I came up with these methods. It seems that I have exhausted all my strength, and my skin is bruised. In fact, after going back to recuperate for three or two days, I will recover as before. On the contrary, some seem to be hit a few times at random. I really want to go back. My tendons and bones are broken. If it’s not good, it will be disabled.”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "So, is Yelicin really calling?"

Shui Lian sneered and said: "I've only been in the palace for a few days, but I'm not looking at anyone. Everyone in the palace dislikes him, so I want to find an opportunity to teach him a good lesson, but I haven't been able to find an opportunity. Master Chu will help everyone out today." After taking a breath, everyone is grateful, this Yelicin, no matter what, he will not be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months."

While the two were talking and laughing, they turned around the corridor of the palace. It had become deserted here, but there were guards patrolling past from time to time. Suddenly, they heard the sound of a car. Chu Huan looked up and saw two carts approaching not far ahead. , seven or eight eunuchs were pulling a cart over, before the cart approached, Chu Huan smelled a strange smell, but saw that Shui Lian had raised his sleeve to cover his nose, and had moved aside to make way , Seeing that Chu Huan didn't dodge, he hurriedly said: "Master Chu, this is the person from the Zhidian Supervisor pouring the pail at night, don't dirty you!"

Chu Huan was taken aback, but understood in an instant.

There is eating and drinking in the palace, and of course there is Lazard. The emperor, empress and their concubines, court ladies and eunuchs are eating and drinking Lazard for thousands of people, and the filth of each palace must be cleaned up.

The palace supervisor is naturally a group of people who clean up the Gong barrels, which is inconvenient during the day, but now in the dead of night, they want to send all the Gong barrels in the palace out of the palace to be cleaned, and saw that the Gong barrels on the cart are all piled up , with many sides falling over, apparently freshly cleaned from the outside.

Chu Huan also retreated to the side and watched the two carts pass by. These straight palace eunuchs covered their faces with black veils, covering their eyes below their eyes. Dare to look up.

There are thousands of eunuchs and maids in the palace, and they are also divided into sixteen departments. There are inner palace supervisors who are in charge of purchasing utensils, department supervisors who are in charge of leaning, curtains, and rain gear, and food supervisors who are in charge of food and jade banquets. , there is the Shangyi Supervisor who is in charge of robes, shoes and socks, and the Yinshou Supervisor who is in charge of zirconium, seals, surveys, and books. The sixteen departments have their own duties, and each prison will have a chief eunuch.

Shui Lian belongs to the Duzhi prison, that is, he waits on the emperor's side and is responsible for general affairs and summons, etc. It stands to reason that he does not have much power, but because he is a person close to the emperor, it is naturally unusual. It's a bit thinner.

However, the Zhidian Supervisor was in charge of sanitation in the palace and belonged to the most humble yamen in the Sixteenth Prison, but Shui Lian also looked down on him in his bones.

Watching the two carts pass by, Shui Lian was about to take Chu Huan away, but Chu Huan suddenly said, "Wait!" He was staring at the cart behind him.

Hearing Chu Huan's order, the two scooters stopped hurriedly, and Shui Lian didn't know why, so he said strangely: "Master Chu, you are...!"

However, Chu Huan had already smiled and said to Shui Lian: "Eunuch Shui, please send it here, this place is not far from the west gate, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will look for you later, don't delay Eunuch, please come back first." , I’ll just let them take it with me.”

Shui Lian frowned and glanced at the eunuchs and eunuchs, and said softly, "Lord Chu, this...!"

"Eunuch and I are close friends, and your mind is already clear to me." Chu Huan sighed: "Eunuch Shui treats people with kindness, and I am grateful to you. I really can't delay Eunuch any longer." Pointing to one of them, Zhidian The eunuch said, "You lead me to the west gate and take me out of the palace!"

Seeing that Chu Huan insisted, Shui Lian couldn't say much, he was really worried that the emperor would turn around and greet him. If he wasn't in the palace, something would be wrong, so he immediately waved to the eunuch and said, "Come here, and lead Master Chu out of the palace." .”

The Zhidian Supervisor's status is low. At this moment, Chu Huan summoned him. The leading Zhidian Supervisor, who dared not offend him, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and lead your lord out of the palace!"

The little eunuch hesitated a bit, Shui Lian was already annoyed: "Not yet!"

The little eunuch had no choice but to come here, Shui Lian bid farewell to Chu Huan, and went straight to the Guangming Palace to return, the eunuchs of Zhidian didn't dare to delay, and pulled the car to go, only the little eunuch stood beside him with his head bowed , Chu Huan glanced at him, did not speak, did not wait for him to lead the way, and walked forward with his hands behind his back. After walking a few steps, seeing that the little eunuch did not follow, he frowned and said, "I still haven't followed!"

The little eunuch kept his head down, as if a little scared, and finally followed behind. Chu Huan walked along the road in the palace. Not long after, he saw a palace wall in front of him from a distance, and knew that he was about to arrive. At this moment, he looked around There was no one around, and it was quite dark, but the little eunuch picked up his pace and gradually approached Chu Huan.

He finally raised his head and fixed his eyes on the back of Chu Huan's head. Seeing Chu Huan walking forward calmly, a light flashed in the eyes of the little eunuch. His hand, like a knife, was light in his body, and he cut down the back of Chu Huan's head silently and fiercely.

Seeing that his hand was about to cut the back of Chu Huan's head, he saw the figure in front of him flicker, and Chu Huan disappeared in an instant. The little eunuch felt a sudden strong wind under him, and when he lowered his head, he saw Chu Huan not at all. It didn't disappear, but just suddenly lowered his body, now he turned around, stretched out a hand, and was grabbing towards his waist.

The little eunuch didn't expect Chu Huan's reaction to be so sensitive. He was taken aback and quickly backed away, but Chu Huan was already following him like a shadow. Backed away, with a flash of cold light, there was already a dagger with cold light in his hand, and he whispered: "What do you want?"

However, Chu Huan had already stood firm, with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like torches, he stared into the little eunuch's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Are you asking me what I want? I also want to ask you what you really want? Where do you think this is?"
