I am the carpenter king

Walking on the bluestone road, looking at the surrounding scenery, Luo Sigong felt very comfortable.Although Wu Yang's attitude seemed resolute, Luo Sigong knew that he was at the end of his rope.Take some coordinated actions in a few days, and those people outside will definitely be crazy.

Without much effort, Luo Sigong had already arrived at the front hall, listening to the chatter and laughter inside, frowned slightly.As for the eunuchs in the palace, Luo Sigong really didn't want to deal with them, not only was he greedy, but most of the time he handled some shameful things on behalf of the emperor.Although Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, but in terms of intimacy, there is no way to compare with these eunuchs.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were no governors in the local officialdom. Cheng Xuanzhengshi was the highest administrative body in a province, and the chief envoy was the governor.At the same time, there is also the Department of Prosecutors and Envoys, who is in charge of the prison.The garrisons in various places have guards, and the commander is the commander.

The three yamen belong to different departments, and there are often cases of inefficiency in handling affairs, and it is not uncommon to push the blame.In order to better govern the region, a governor was established to take charge of the military and political power of a province.However, such a governor has a high position and authority. In order to check and balance the governor, middle officials were dispatched from the palace to guard the eunuchs.At the same time, inspectors also set up inspection censors to inspect the localities.Moreover, the Chengxuan Zhengshi Division, the Tixing Judiciary Division, and the Guard Office are relatively independent, avoiding the occurrence of excessive power in the late Tang Dynasty.

However, most of the guarding eunuchs in the localities are greedy for money, sometimes for themselves, and sometimes for the emperor, so the guarding eunuchs have always had a bad reputation.However, due to their status, guarding eunuchs are really not easy to mess with, and most of them are involved in one way or another with the father-in-law of the ceremonial supervisor.Luo Sigong didn't like these people either, but the Eunuch Cui in front of him didn't care because Luo Sigong knew Emperor Tianqi.

For this Eunuch Cui, Luo Sigong still has some understanding.He is the godson of Wang An, the eunuch in charge of seals.This identity alone is enough to make many people daunting.Wang An can be said to be the most senior eunuch in the palace, with a high position and authority.

When he was young, Wang An followed Feng Bao and learned ten percent of Feng Bao's tactics, but he was very upright, not as greedy as Feng Bao.As the accompanying reading of Taichang Emperor.Needless to say, Wang An's status in the palace.When Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, Wang An also made great efforts, and from Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne to now, he has always relied heavily on Wang An.

Although there are Wei Chao, Wang Chengen, and Chen Hong in Liaodong in the palace, none of them can compare with Wang An.That was the eunuch who was in charge of the emperor's seal, the eunuch who was in charge of the jade seal for Emperor Tianqi.However, this prince likes to listen to people who are afraid of flattery. This Eunuch Cui is good at this and has won Wang An's trust.

Luo Sigong didn't take Eunuch Cui seriously.But he was very afraid of Wang An, the old eunuch did not fight for power or profit, and sat quietly in the position of the chief inspector.Luo Sigong's psychology is very clear, the old eunuch is not aggressive.

Stepping into the hall, Luo Sigong saw Eunuch Cui who was talking about with Zhou Jiamo. In his 40s, with high cheekbones and a pointed jaw.With a gentle smile on his face, his eyes were squinting.There is no gaze, as if there is only a gap there.Wearing eunuch clothes.There is a wingless black yarn on the head.

"Lord Luo, I really didn't expect to see Master Luo here. It's a great honor for our family!" Seeing Luo Sigong walk in, Cui Fu hurriedly stood up, greeted him with a smile, and said.

"Eunuch Cui. Long time no see, Eunuch Cui is still handsome!" Luo Sigong didn't expect Cui Fu to be so polite, a difference flashed across his face, but he still said politely.

After both of them sat down, Cui Fu said with a smile: "I have heard that Mr. Zhou has arrived in Nanjing. I have always wanted to come and pay a visit, but a few days ago Mr. Zhou felt a little sick, so it is not easy for our family to come and disturb us. These few days When we heard that Master Zhou had recovered, our family couldn’t wait to come over, but we didn’t expect to meet Master Luo here, it’s really great!"

Cui Fu's words were very sincere, and the smile on his face seemed to come from the heart, but Luo Sigong didn't believe it at all.Because my words are equally sincere, and my smile is also from the heart.As for whether Cui Fu and Wu Yang colluded, Luo Sigong was not sure, but he was sure after taking the money.

The three of them were not chatting here, and no one said anything that shouldn't be said, it was all romantic.When it came to government affairs, they also praised Emperor Tianqi for his wisdom and martial arts, but no one said anything else.

An hour later, Cui Fu got up to say goodbye, walked out of the imperial envoy's camp, and got into his own sedan chair.Surrounded by the front and rear guards, a group of people left the palace of the imperial envoy.

After turning four streets, the sedan chair slowly landed, and Cui Fu, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the sedan chair.Without too much delay, he directly boarded an ordinary-looking sedan chair.The car curtain was lowered slowly, and Cui Fu ordered lightly: "Go! Go to Chunjiao Pavilion!"

The little eunuch serving outside quickly ordered the bearers to turn around, but the group continued to walk back, but Cui Fu was no longer inside.

Chunjiao Pavilion is a large brothel in the west city of Nanjing, and every day there are like clouds of customers, making it extremely noisy.In this city of Nanjing, the people who can enter Chunjiao Pavilion are all wealthy businessmen with extraordinary status.The money to marry a beautiful wife outside may not be enough to drink a glass of wine here.

A sedan chair stopped in front of Chunjiao Building, where no one would judge the other party's identity based on the quality of the sedan chair.Many people with unusual identities will deliberately prepare an unobtrusive sedan chair.

Walking out of the sedan chair was a middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed in fine Jiangnan silk, with a fair complexion and a not-too-long beard, but he looked very comfortable.In his hand is a high-quality folding fan, on which is the authentic work of Wen Zhengming, and it is expensive at first glance.The jade pendant around his waist is also extraordinary, and its value may be difficult to estimate.

Such people are unusual at first glance, and many people turn their heads away at a glance. They come here for pleasure, and there is no need to say hello to this mysterious person.

At this moment, it was none other than Cui Fu who had come out from the Imperial Envoy's Yamen. The lights had just come on, and the Chunjiao Pavilion had just become lively.Walking into Chunjiao Pavilion with his entourage, Cui Fu had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were open.His gaze was as gentle as the smile on his face.But the occasional flashes of light showed that this person didn't want to look so gentle.

"Hey! Grandpa, are you in the private room or are you working out here? Is there a girl you know?" A beautifully dressed woman came up to meet her, and the pungent smell of makeup and powder had already rushed over.

Frowning slightly, he gently raised his hand, and the fan touched the woman's chest. Cui Fu took advantage of his face and said, "Are you new here? Bring me Miss Cheng!"

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and then her face was a little angry, but when she heard Miss Cheng's three words, she quickly lowered her head.She lost her charming smile, and said respectfully, "Are you going to wait in the private room, or are you waiting here?"

Looking around, it was not dark yet, and there were not many guests in the hall.Pointing to a table in the corner, Cui Fu said in a deep voice, "I'll wait there, tell Miss Cheng to come over quickly."

"Yes, I'll go right away!" The old bustard said respectfully, then turned around and walked back quickly.

Not long after, a woman in her 30s came over. She was not as gorgeous and whistling as the old bustard, but she was dressed in elegant equipment.The cyan long dress, the high-waisted hair, the mature and slightly charming face, the whole person gives people a feeling of elegance and refinement.The appearance of the woman in the hall attracted the attention of many people, but no one came over.

"Who was I at that time? It turned out to be Mr. Cui. Mr. Fang came at the right time. Mr. Fang and the others are also behind." When the woman saw Cui Fu, she walked over with a smile, with a charming smile on her face.

"Miss Cheng is still so beautiful and lovely. I told you a long time ago not to stay here, follow me! I guarantee that you will have a better life than here." Cui Fu's eyes flashed evil, but he regained his clarity in an instant, but his mouth Shang still said with a smile.

Miss Cheng gently stretched out her hand, drew a few circles on Cui Fu's chest, and said charmingly: "Young Master Cui values ​​it so much, it's Lian Er's blessing, but now Lian Er still takes Young Master Cui to meet Young Master Fang! It's business. It's important, if Mr. Cui still has such a mood after a while, Lian'er will take good care of Mr. Cui today."

Squeezing Miss Cheng's hand, Cui Fu nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Lead the way ahead! I hope that after meeting Fang Shihong, I will still be in the mood to tease Miss Cheng."

"Master Cui, follow Lian'er!" Miss Cheng walked in front and walked behind.

As soon as he stood at the door, Cui Fu heard the quarrel coming from inside.

"First it was the food supervisor, and now it's the governor. If we don't do anything, we will be the next one to be arrested. When everyone present is arrested, we can't do anything we want."

"The situation is still unclear now. If you act rashly, the whole army may be wiped out. At that time, the family will be ransacked and exterminated."

"The situation is unclear? Wu Yang has already been caught, as long as he confesses me, who can escape?"

"Wu Yang has only been missing for a day, how could he confess so quickly, the most urgent thing is to find a way to contact Wu Yang. Let Wu Yang delay for a few more days, we are not ready yet!"

"Contact? How to contact? We can't even find anyone. It can be said that there is no way at all!"

"Okay, stop arguing! It's not too bad, let's mess up!" A voice seemed to be very angry, and said: "People from outside come in! If you can come here, you must not be an outsider!" (To be continued ..)
