Chapter 2763 The Capital (110 Six)

When Yang Tianliang came out of Eunuch Yang's residence, he felt that his legs were weak, but he felt relieved.After touching the envelope in his arms, he realized that he was not dreaming.

Unexpectedly, the adoptive father not only did not realize his conspiracy, but was also so generous.Yes, this old guy must have known that he didn't have much time left, so he had to rely on his adopted son.

This has already been the case!Yang Tianliang thought to himself, why bother making me go through such trouble!
However, he got [-] silver as soon as he made the move, so the old guy was really rich.Forget it, wait until you get to the Royal Horse Prison, and then you can try to please the king. If this old guy dies smoothly, that's all. If he refuses to die, it's too late to send him to the west.

Before that, you might as well deal with this old guy.

He did have a few bottles of "Nanyang aphrodisiac wine" in his hands, which he got from Liu Zhen. They were said to be very effective.He tried it, and it really worked.He was somewhat unwilling to dedicate it to Eunuch Yang like this.

However, he wanted medicinal wine, which was a good opportunity, and he would use medicinal wine to kill him in the future.Anyway, this medicinal wine is just a bottle, and it’s not up to him to decide what’s in it.

When I think of medicinal wine, I think of Liu Ying. His whereabouts are always a hidden danger.Yang Tianliang felt vaguely uneasy, but then he thought about how few people knew about his relationship with Liu Zhen. As long as he didn't fall into the hands of the Australians, it didn't matter.

While I was thinking in the sedan chair, the sedan suddenly stopped for a moment.Yang Tianliang was startled, opened the curtains and asked, "What's going on?"

But no one answered. The little eunuch who followed him was not at the sedan chair.

If you look closely, it's not a street outside, but a "factory" somewhere.There are many "factories" inside and outside the capital city, where various yamen store materials.Such as Hongluo Factory, Chariot Factory, Wood Factory, Dung Factory and other places.These "factories" cover a large area. Except for a few guards, very few people come here on weekdays. They are very lonely places in the city.

Yang Tianliang has been in the capital since he was a child and worked as an errand in the palace. He has been to many places like this.But this place is very strange.

He was shocked and immediately realized that he had been tricked!Just as he was about to run wildly, his body was already firmly held down. Two "bearers" twisted his left and right arms, causing pain to his bones. He screamed in agony and was unable to move his whole body.

Someone kicked him hard in the crook of the knee. Yang Tianliang couldn't help but fall to his knees in the muddy snow. He was horrified and said: "Heroes, all heroes, please don't use violence..."

The four "carriage bearers" ignored him and silently searched his whole body.Seeing that the envelope on his chest was searched, Yang Tianliang secretly felt heartbroken, but he also felt relieved. It seemed that the other party came here to ask for money and his life was safe.

At this time, the leader asked: "Are you Yang Tianliang, the manager of the factory?"

"Yes, yes, it's our family." The other party came prepared, so naturally he couldn't rely on him.Yang Tianliang remembered that Liu Wei had taught him that he should never look up at people's faces when encountering such a thing, so he just lowered his head and begged, "You have already taken the money, please show me your noble hand..."

"Keep the money for yourself, you will need it on the road." The leader said slowly, "People of the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. Brothers have no enmity or grudge against you. I am sending you on your way today because of someone else's entrustment. You When you get to the underworld, don’t bear any grudge against your brothers.”

Only then did Yang Tianliang realize that the person who came was not to rob Dao, but to take his life. He immediately collapsed on the ground and wailed: "Don't do it! Don't do it! I have money! Money! How much they give me, I will double it and add more 1 taels, not [-], is [-] enough? No matter how much I can get it together... Show your noble hand, show your noble hand... Spare your life..."

While he begged for mercy, his body was already like chaff. He tried to resist, but was grabbed by someone and unable to move.

The four people ignored him and dragged him into an empty room. Ropes had been hung from the beams and a bench was placed below.There is also a tile brazier next to it.

The leader shouted in a long tone: "Come on! Serve Eunuch Yang on his way! Come to Paradise early."

The remaining three people responded in unison: "Here!" They quickly put Yang Tianliang on the bench and put him in the rope loop.Yang Tianliang's face was ashen, and he struggled desperately, but still couldn't escape. He was grabbed around the neck, and the bench was kicked to the ground in an instant.Yang Tianliang's body was left struggling and shaking in mid-air.

The four of them stood by and watched silently until the body in the air stopped moving.Someone checked his pulse and raised his voice: "Eunuch Yang has reached immortality!"

The people nearby immediately lit a fire in the brazier, melted a paper man, sedan and horse into it, and added a bunch of tin ingots.

The leader tore open the envelope containing the banknotes and took out the bills inside.This is not a Delong banknote, but a banknote with the words "Fengdu Tongxong" and "Twenty thousand treasure notes" printed on it!

He threw the envelope and the money into the fire, and the jumping flames gradually devoured the paper.

The news that Yang Tianliang committed suicide by hanging from a beam did not attract much attention in the palace.There are tens of thousands of eunuchs working in this palace. Many people die every year, and many commit suicide.The death of a person would be worse than the death of a cat or dog in the palace, which would make a splash.

However, after all, Yang Tianliang was the head of the economic factory and the godson of the eunuch in charge of the Bell and Drum Department.Therefore, the funeral was held with great grandeur, and the eunuchs from the top to the bottom of the Bell and Drum Division were obliged to present tributes. It was a great opportunity for those who were interested in making a fortune.As for the other eunuchs, they had to give some money for Eunuch Yang's sake.After a funeral, excluding the expenses, you can probably make a net income of one thousand taels.

While Eunuch Yang was doing the funeral, he called a personal eunuch to take care of the aftermath.

"...You take people to the lower parts of the palace and outside. Don't rush to look through the things inside. They are all sealed and will be inspected later."

"Yes, my ancestor."

"Everyone who eats with him will reward her with 50 taels of silver. If she is willing to go home, she will be reported to have died of a sudden illness and let her come out of the palace. If she is not willing, she will stay in the palace and continue to work." Eunuch Yang looked up. Lying on a "Nanyang rattan couch", he said slowly, "If you like the women in his mansion, you can keep them all." "Ancestors are joking, how can slaves afford to support them..." the eunuch said in fear.

"What, is it because the monthly payment is too little?"

"Don't dare, don't dare," the eunuch said quickly.

"If I can afford it for you, you can afford it," Eunuch Yang sneered, "What are you worried about?"

"Yes, yes, it all depends on the cultivation of our ancestors!"

"How many years have you been following me?"

"In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, shortly after entering the palace, the name of the little one was transferred to the ancestor."

"So, he's quite a few years old." Eunuch Yang nodded, looked at the kneeling person carefully, and said with a smile, "A monkey cub! How old is it?"

"The servant girl is 28 years old."

"You are so young." Eunuch Yang made a sound that sounded like a sigh, "You have been following me for these years, and although you have done little things, you have done them well."

"Thank you for the compliment, ancestor! This is what a slave should do."

"Haha, our family doesn't praise people without reason." Eunuch Yang said with a smile, "In this case, I will promote you now."

"Thank you, ancestor! Thank you, ancestor!" The eunuch kowtowed repeatedly.

"Don't worry!" Eunuch Yang waved his hand, "Your brother Yang is gone. Our family has already agreed on his position with Eunuch Cao, the Superintendent of Ceremonies. I will give you ten days. You go to the factory and pick one up with me." Here comes the "Small Infinite Life Sutra". When it's done, go and take over this job."

"Yes, thanks to our ancestors, I will definitely live up to our ancestors' kindness!" The eunuch was overjoyed and kowtowed a few more times.

Going to the scripture factory to get scriptures may seem like an errand, but it is actually a test for eunuchs who want to be promoted. If they can successfully obtain scriptures, it means that their skills and interpersonal relationships are enough to cope with higher job assignments.

Of course, this opportunity was not given casually. Eunuch Yang had been observing the personal eunuch in front of him for a long time and was basically sure of it.

"From now on, your name will be Yang Tianbian."

"Yes, thank you ancestor for giving me the name!"

Although his name was changed, Eunuch Yang was not eager to accept him as his adopted son.On the one hand, Yang Tianliang's "bones are not yet cold", and on the other hand, he is also afraid of raising another "white-eyed wolf".Yang Tianliang has experienced "suffering together" and is unreliable, let alone a newcomer who has only been able to get along with him for more than ten years?
He had secretly observed Yang Tianbian as a spare tire for many years and believed that he was capable of doing things and could be regarded as loyal.But he never showed his favor for this person on weekdays.Firstly, if the adopted son finds out, he will probably look for an opportunity to kill him; secondly, let's take a look at his temperament.

Now it seems that this person can endure loneliness, does a lot of things, and doesn't get much benefit. However, he never complains about Eunuch Yang and his son. He is a very cautious person.

Right now, Yang Tianliang is dead.Someone had to keep running the important errands for him.Although the years are getting shorter, there is not much room for choice now.

He is already over sixty years old, and his days as an official in the palace are running out.If you hang around for a few more years, you'll probably have to "resign."Yang Tianliang's death was a great loss to him, but he really couldn't imagine what else this adopted son with ulterior motives would do.

Now that he committed suicide, he was relieved of a troublesome thing in his mind.

Seeing Yang Tianbian still kneeling in front of him, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Go to Delong Bank tomorrow and meet Shopkeeper Leng."

Yang Tianbian is very happy, this is the second best news today.He knew that Delong's shopkeeper Leng was one of Eunuch Yang's moneybags.The exchanges between the two parties are very close.Before Yang Tianliang died, except for the past six months or so, he had been responsible for communicating with others.

This would ask him to go see him, wouldn't it mean that this job also fell into his hands!

"Yes," Yang Tianbian asked, "I'm going over here, do you want to tell him something?"

"Just say, what happened in the past is in the past. Please don't worry about it too much, Shopkeeper Leng. He helped our family, and our family will naturally remember it."
