The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 249 Can You Take Me Home?

"Eunuch Li, are these teenagers your sons?" Zhao Gou pointed to the five teenagers huddled in the corner, staring at Li Bangyan intently, and asked word by word.

The corner of Li Bangyan's mouth twitched, how could he have children as an eunuch.If that incident hadn't happened, I'm afraid he would have had children long ago.It's a pity that Li Bangyan, who claimed to be a romantic and talented man, ended up cutting off his children and grandchildren.Zhao Gou asked knowingly, which made Li Bangyan dare not speak out, and even more panicked.

Everyone looked at Zhao Gou strangely, and the corners of their mouths twitched, which was a naked mockery.Li Bangyan knew that he was wrong and did not dare to refute, nor did he dare to answer loudly.Now he is in Zhao Gou's hands, and he has taken the stolen goods together. There is no way to argue. If he annoys Zhao Gou at this time, his life may be in danger.

Li Bangyan was not a fool, but a very shrewd person; Zhao Gou was furious, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he did not hide his heart.Since Zhao Gou dared to bring the Imperial Forest Army to break in, it meant that he already knew everything, and Li Bangyan would be at a loss for any sophistry.

"Go back to your lord, no!"

Zhao Gou said sharply: "I almost forgot, you are an eunuch, how can you have any heirs! Since they are not your heirs, why did you imprison them here? If it wasn't for the coincidence of this official, I'm afraid these people have more Whip, maybe more than that!"

Although Zhao Gou came quickly, he was still a step late. One of the young men's clothes were smashed by the whip, leaving traces and traces of blood on his fair skin.Zhao Gou is a martial arts practitioner, he can tell at a glance that these children don't understand martial arts, the skin and flesh will be torn from the whip, if it is a little later, these boys may be covered with cuts and bruises and dripping with blood.

"They are not your heirs, are they the slaves you bought?" Zhao Gou said to himself, his eyes skipped Li Bangyan, he didn't even want to take a look, he knew that if he looked at it again, he would really do it. He killed them. I'm afraid that at that time, the reason will become a violent one. "These children look handsome. They don't look like slaves, but they look like ordinary people's children. Could it be that these children were kidnapped?"

Zhao Gou looked at Li Bangyan questioningly, and he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He was terrified, and hurriedly replied: "They were all bought by slaves with money. They are not slaves or abducted."

Slavery has long since disappeared in the Song Dynasty, and the abduction and trafficking of children is strictly prohibited.Despite repeated orders, some people are still desperate.However, as parents, they have the right to sell their children, which is not prohibited in Song laws.Therefore, some parents will sell their children to princes and nobles as maids, book boys, servants, etc., and some will sell their children to brothels and other places of fireworks.

If Li Bangyan really admitted that these children were abducted, he would offend Song Lv and be quartered by five horses; if he admitted that they were slaves, he would be cut into pieces.Therefore, Li Bangyan immediately changed his words and said that they bought it, or that their parents sold it voluntarily, so that they would not be held responsible.

"Sure enough, there are some skills!"

Zhao Gou's heart tightened. He didn't expect that Li Bangyan's mind turned so quickly, he resolved the crisis lightly, and even found a suitable excuse for himself to whip the child.If these children were really bought by Li Bangyan with money, if Zhao Gou asked him why he beat the children, Li Bangyan would probably say that they made a mistake and punished them by beating them, so that they could escape disaster.

Since he could be appreciated by the emperor and be promoted to chief eunuch, he must have some skills.Moreover, Li Bangyan is also a close servant who serves the emperor, and deals with scholars every day, and he has some talents himself.If it wasn't for that accident, I'm afraid he would also be a thief with power over the world.

Even though he was an eunuch, Li Bangyan got an official rank, but he was wooed by the prince Zhao Huan, so he gave up his official position altogether and directly got the position of chief eunuch in the palace, in order to stay by Song Huizong's side, inquire about news, and become Zhao Huan. Huan's internal response.

Li Bangyan has the ability to be an official and has become the head of the eunuch. He must not be an ordinary person, and he has some skills.Zhao Gou looked at Li Bangyan again, he was indeed handsome.Even the stars of later generations are not too far behind, indeed they have some capital.

If Li Bangyan hadn't been so anxious, made mistakes in his busy schedule, and didn't listen to Prince Zhao Huan's order to restrain himself, he thought Zhao Gou wouldn't deal with him, after all, he was a small character.It's just that Zhao Gou did the opposite, and he was caught off guard, so he appeared passive.

If it was a real confrontation, Li Bangyan might not be caught in the trap, but it's a pity that Zhao Yougong knew about his weakness, which meant that Zhao Gou knew about it.Now that he knows his shortcomings, prescribing the right medicine can alleviate a lot of troubles, otherwise it will take a lot of work to get rid of Li Bangyan and cut off the inner circle that Prince Zhao Huan set up in the palace.

What Zhao Gou lacks most now is time. If it wasn't for the lack of time, maybe Zhao Gou would not have thought that the first person would be Li Bangyan, and he would still be able to continue to dominate.What people expected most often backfired, and finally fell into the hands of Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou ignored his answer and turned to look at the boys. He knew that these boys were calmed down by fear.Now that he appeared here, these teenagers were about the same age as him, and they were no longer ignorant children, so the fear in their hearts should be much less.

"Are you really sold to him by your parents as he said?" Zhao Gou asked softly. Now they are still in shock, so they have to comfort and guide them, and let them tell the truth. Bang Yan fatal blow.

"Not good!" Li Bangyan panicked. He didn't expect Zhao Gou to turn around and ask those teenagers. If he really told the truth, he might be decapitated. It kept turning, thinking about the following countermeasures.

These children did not answer Zhao Gou's words. He saw the pale faces of these teenagers were full of panic, and he knew that they were still in shock.Li Bangyan's vicious appearance was imprinted in their hearts, creating an irresistible fear. Even if Zhao Gou appeared, they were still very scared.

"Don't be afraid, it's all right now, and I'll take you home when the matter is over!" Zhao Gou comforted in a soft voice.

These teenagers were still indifferent, looking at Li Bangyan in horror, and even Zhao Gou stepped back in horror, fearing that he and Li Bangyan were in the same group.Seeing that they were still in shock, Zhao Gou couldn't think of a solution for a while, and his brows were a little anxious.

Li Bangyan saw that they were afraid that they didn't tell the truth, and the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground. He couldn't help but feel a little proud. The fear in his expression disappeared without a trace, and he said arrogantly: "My lord, the slaves said that they were sold as children by their parents." , how can I remember going home!..."

Li Bangyan thought he had escaped, but he was relieved a little, but a childish voice interrupted his next words.Immediately, he felt that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and he felt a 'thump' in his heart, his heart rose again, and he was completely dumbfounded.

I saw a boy shrunk in the corner walking out from among the children, his innocent face was full of fear, his helpless eyes were full of anticipation, as if he was afraid of Zhao Gou, he still said weakly After comprehending the thoughts in his heart, he asked weakly: "You...can you really send me home?"

Seeing this, Zhao Gou finally got someone to answer his words, and he nodded firmly and replied: "As long as you want to go home, I will do it, and I will never break my promise!"
