Merry Eunuch Lang

Not long after, large baskets and small baskets were loaded into boxes and pulled by carts, and a large amount of gold and silver were mined from the inner house of the prefect's family.

The busiest and most active one was the master Hua Shixiong. Not only did he direct several officials carrying boxes and baskets to come and go in an orderly manner, but he also told several secret places where gold and silver were hidden.

At this time, many spectators had gathered in front of the magistrate's gate, including the dozens of sufferers who handed over the pleadings.None of them had ever seen so many gold and silver treasures in their entire lives. A huge pile of gold and silver was right in front of them. This time they really opened their eyes. It turned out that there are really mountains of gold and silver in the world!It's no wonder that no matter how poor people are, they can't have poor students and poor education. Reading can read so much gold and silver?

There was a table in front of the little eunuch, and he sat on a chair leisurely. In front of him were a bowl of tea, a jar of wine, and a few dishes of side dishes. Naturally, a pair of chopsticks was indispensable.All these were handled by Zhang Facun for him. Zhang Facun became famous in a short time. Not only did he find a good job, but he also met a benefactor.In the evening, his wife discussed things with him and repeatedly told him: When you are with benefactor, remember the word benevolence and righteousness is enough!Of course, Zhang Facun's habit of stealing never stopped. Who would look for the thin one after eating the thick one?His salary is enough to support his family, and there will be no more stealing.

Zhifu Zou sat on the ground dejectedly. His body was fat, and his two thick legs could not be crossed, so he had to stretch one straight and the other curled up as a sitting object.He put one hand on his knee, leaned on his face, and lowered his head, but he kept staring at the baskets of white silver from the corner of his eyes.At this time, he didn't think the money was too little, but he was afraid that if the money was too much, his life would be in danger.Although he had met the little eunuch a few times, he didn't know this person very well. He heard his father say that he was a guy who didn't like oil and salt, and it was difficult to talk. He just couldn't hold his heart.The most irritating thing is that kid surnamed Hua. It's only been a few hours, how can he change?A servile servant look.What did he look like when he pulled him out of the trash?People are not old!

Wang Xiaowu was the last one to come out from the courtyard and whispered to the little eunuch: "Brother, it's almost done. There are also the private houses and other items of the magistrate's family members. It is inconvenient to kill them all. They must have something to eat, you think?"

The little eunuch waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, that's all! Brother Xigui, you have to watch carefully, you and I have something to say before we speak."

Zou Xigui's life was at stake, so he regained his energy immediately, got up from the ground, stood beside him with his eyes wide open, and took a look.

Hua Shixiong reported the number, Wang Xiaowu was worried and wanted to supervise, the little eunuch gave him a hand, and said with a smile:

"Brother, it's been a long day of hard work, let's go drink tea, there will be nothing wrong."

The last total is 35 taels.Zou Xigui was dumbfounded, God really can play tricks on people, why did he have an extra one or two?

The little eunuch sneered and said, "Your Majesty, the title is not false, do you want to repeat it?"

Zou Xigui said pitifully: "Master Imperial Envoy, it's only one or two, so please be tolerant!"

"Tolerance?" the little eunuch sternly said, "Huayang area is a land of fish and rice, but what kind of life do ordinary people live? You wantonly exploited, created clever names, scraped three feet of land, fished and meated the villagers, so that the people's voices were full of grievances, no Killing you is not enough to anger the common people, so I will not spare you today."

Zou Xigui had just stood up straight for a while by virtue of his weighing, when he couldn't help but suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop" sound, weeping and begging bitterly:

"My lord, please forgive me, I know I was wrong!"

The little eunuch said coldly: "You have committed a lot of evil, and heaven cannot tolerate it. To spare your life is like a tiger committing a crime. Are you dreaming? Talking is useless, so I won't bother you. You just wait and die!"

"My lord, is it only one or two?" Zou Xigui bargained.

"One tael is not much," said the little eunuch with a smile, "but don't forget the big number in front. 35, buddy, when I came here, there was only 20 taels of Ku Yin in the court. The magistrate has 35 hidden in his hands? To be honest, I didn’t want to kill you. I think you will not embezzle such a large amount. Who knows that you are a dog who eats the sun, and I give you a pocket. You will pretend to be your own house. Yes, I underestimated you."

Zou Xigui had nothing to say, but kept trembling all over, begging for mercy repeatedly.

The little eunuch waved his hand and shouted, "Come here!"

There are four swordsmen in the magistrate, and they all want to show off in front of the imperial envoy, so as to make new achievements and keep their jobs, so they all stepped forward and shouted:

"exist!"

The little eunuch didn't even look at it, and ordered: "Okay, take this corrupt official to kill! Cut off the head and hang it on the flagpole, and show the head to the public."

"Yes!"

Zou Xigui shouted: "My lord, wait a minute. Even if I am a capital offender, I will have to wait until after the autumn to be executed. Could it be that you have ulterior motives in acting so hastily?"

"Ball!" the little eunuch scolded, "There is such a saying in Qiu Hou, but I am an imperial envoy, sent by the emperor's order, and I hold the power of life and death. Special issues are handled specially, what else do you have to say?"

Zou Xigui was speechless.

Without any explanation, the four axemen dragged old Zou up, raised his arms and legs, like an eagle catching a chicken.In less than half a cup of tea, Zou Xigui's head was already hanging on the top of the flagpole, much easier than beheading a pig.It's just that Zou Xigui didn't close his eyes, he didn't know whether it was dissatisfaction or regret, or he had other thoughts.

There was an eruption in front of the prefect's gate.

The little eunuch jumped onto the table one step at a time, and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, be quiet, and now we will start distributing the stolen money. Those who came here today will get ten taels per person, and those who handed in the certificates will get 20 taels per person. The money will be taken from the people and returned." For the people! Now that the corrupt official is dead, the revenge has been avenged, and the anger is gone, get the money and go home to live!"

There was another jubilation in front of the mansion.

The little eunuch immediately decided: 10 taels will be distributed to the citizens, 10 taels will be handed over to the state treasury, 10 taels will be sent to the border, and 5 taels will be kept in the mansion.

After everything was done, the little eunuch was about to arrange to enter the mansion. Hua Shixiong kowtowed to the little eunuch and said:

"Please arrange an errand for the villain."

The little eunuch smiled on purpose, and teased: "You have worked hard today, and I will give you more travel expenses as a reward. You can go home too!"

Hua Shixiong refused to accept it, and shouted: "My lord, you said before your head that you would give me a bigger official! There is no joke in the officialdom, and the nobleman should not forget things too much!"

The little eunuch also saw that no one is perfect, and gold is never pure. Although Hua Shixiong is full of flaws, he does have some abilities. It is better to stay, he might still be a good dog, so he said:

"Well, since that's the case, you can stay by my side and do things."

Hua Shixiong was overjoyed, and kowtowed his head like pounding garlic: "Thank you for planting, thank you for planting! From now on, I will be your dog, and I will bite whoever you ask me to bite."

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Forget it, get up! A dog that doesn't bite is not necessarily a good dog, but don't just bite."

"Yes, my lord, the villain will not bite people easily in the future!" Hua Shixiong promised, and got up from the ground happily.
