Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

The two young eunuchs were a little scared at first, but after hearing Yang Yuanzu's words, they became bolder and searched for everything edible. Xiao Fuzi found a few jars of wine, and he raised them up, motioning and asking, "Master Yang, do you want to take these jars of wine?"

"Bring it!" Yang Yuanzu not only looted the food but also carried the bedding on his shoulders.

The group rushed to the Ministry of Works with the things. When they arrived, the doctor from the Ministry of Water Resources and the doctor from the Ministry of Tuntian were gathered together drinking tea and chatting. They were very surprised to see Yang Yuanzu coming over with the things as if he was moving house.

The doctor of the Water Department even forgot to put down the teacup in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Master Yang, what is the meaning of the wine, food, and bedding?"

The Tuntian doctor put down his teacup, stood up, and said with his hands behind his back, "Could it be that Lord Yang came to us in advance to celebrate his promotion tomorrow?"

Yang Yuanzu looked around and asked, "Is Lord Shi here?"

It turned out that he came to look for Lord Shi. He did not stay at his workstation during his duty and left his post with two eunuchs and a bunch of things.

The two masters' faces turned ugly, so they lectured Yang Yuanzu: "Master Yang, aren't you afraid that there will be no one to watch over there if you are not in the Agricultural Department?"

Yang Yuanzu was too lazy to talk to the two men in official language, so he told them the news of the palace coup. The two men didn't believe him and said, "The palace coup is so big, it's impossible for the two of us not to hear any news. What's more, it's so quiet outside now that I'm afraid I can even hear the sound of a book falling to the ground. How can there be a mutiny?"

"Lord Yang, please stop talking nonsense, or you will lose your hard-earned position and your life."

Xiao Fuzi was anxious when he heard this, and stood up to guarantee with his life that what Yang Yuanzu said was true, but the two adults still laughed it off, muttering: "For the sake of our past relationship, we will not tell anyone about this, Lord Yang, please go back!"

Since he couldn't convince the two and Lord Shi was not around, Yang Yuanzu made a prompt decision to go back and find a secluded place in the Agricultural Department to hide. Although this location might not be as good as the sealed warehouse, it was definitely better than staying here and wasting time.

When Yang Yuanzu was about to take Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Lezi away, Lord Shi hurried in from outside and shouted, "Hurry, hurry, hide with me." As Lord Shi spoke, he ran to the inner room where he usually worked, moved a chair, stood on it, and touched the top of the bookcase.

Seeing this, Yang Yuanzu thought there was some mechanism on the bookcase. The Minister of Tuntian and the Minister of Water Resources asked what was going on.

Yang Yuanzu reminded the two of them upon seeing this and quickly packed up their food and warm clothing and prepared to hide. Seeing that Yang Yuanzu was willing to believe them, Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Lezi looked at Yang Yuanzu with tears in their eyes and were moved.

When the Minister of Military Farms and the Minister of Water Resources saw that their superiors did not refute Yang Yuanzu's words, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. That was a palace coup, and many people would die.

The two immediately searched the Ministry of Industry. As soon as they started searching, Lord Shi found the key to the sealed vault. He jumped off his chair and put it back in place. He said to the two, "It's too late. If you don't want to die, follow me now!"

Although a palace coup would not necessarily result in the killing of ministers, they still chose to hide in order to ensure their own safety. Moreover, there are several forces fighting each other now, and when they are so bloodthirsty, no one will care who you are.

Everyone followed Lord Shi to the well in the yard. Lord Shi stood on a wooden barrel with a rope hanging from his neck and asked several people to lower him into the well.

After hearing what he said, several people let him go, and then followed him down into the well one after another. Yang Yuanzu walked at the end because he had some kung fu experience.

There was water at the bottom of the well, but there was a hole on the wall with a wooden door in it. Lord Shi had already opened the door, and when everyone had gathered, he asked them to follow him in.

Lord Shi took out a tinder, lit it and led the way. After turning a corner, he lit the oil lamp on the stone wall, and the cave immediately became bright.

Yang Yuanzu looked down at the well water. The scene looked a little scary and familiar, just like a horror movie he had watched recently.

As if he was worried about something, Lord Shi did not lead everyone to go deeper. They stopped at the second wooden door, where they could vaguely hear the movement above the well.

It was quiet at the well. The two adults, including Yang Yuanzu, still had not felt the reality of the palace coup. They were fine when they went out to work in the morning, but they could not return home in the evening.

Everyone looked at Lord Shi, expecting to hear more specific information from him, and Lord Shi did not disappoint everyone's expectant eyes. He told everyone what happened at the birthday party today.

At first, the foreign envoys and the emperor had an unpleasant experience over the competition, and finally they started a quarrel at the birthday banquet. Then the dancers turned into assassins and attacked the emperor and the third prince. Everyone was busy saving the emperor and making meritorious deeds, but Lord Shi smelled the danger and found the right moment to retreat to the outside of the banquet, ready to escape at any time.

After the assassination incident was settled, the Third Prince took the opportunity to attack the Eighth Prince, exposing the other party's crime of intending to kill the king and his brother and usurp the throne. The Eighth Prince then revealed the fact that the Third Prince led his troops into the palace tonight. Upon hearing this, Lord Shi dared not stay any longer.

The Eighth Prince knew what the Third Prince was going to do. How could he not be prepared?

Lord Shi crouched down and ran outside. The guards outside were surrounding the Baohe Hall. He took advantage of the night to secretly climb up to the top of a tree and escaped. Fortunately, the guards' attention was all on the Baohe Hall at that time and no one noticed him.

At that time, a team of palace maids who were delivering food ran into the guards. Seeing so many people gathered outside the Baohe Hall, the palace maids were very confused.

The leading palace maid asked the soldiers why they were here, but her throat was cut as soon as she opened her mouth. When the palace maid lay down, she saw Lord Shi hiding on the treetop.

Seeing this, the other palace maids dropped the glass plates in their hands and fled in all directions. The guards chased after them. It was at this time that Lord Shi took the opportunity to climb down from the treetop and ran back to the Ministry of Works.

Yang Yuanzu saw some blood on the hem of Lord Shi's official robe, and he thought it must be the blood of the unfortunate palace maid.

At this time, there was a noise coming from above the well. Everyone fell silent and listened carefully to the noise above the well.

Yang Yuanzu originally thought that the guards above were coming to look for them, but it turned out that they were just fleeing for their lives. After they entered the yard, another group of people followed them in, and the two groups started fighting in the palace. After they finally decided the winner, another group of people came in.

"Kill the rebels and the Sixth Prince will reward you!"

"You are the traitors, brothers, attack!"

The two teams started fighting with swords and guns, and screams of pain continued to come from the well.
