What's wrong with the binding eunuch system?

Xiangcha's sword in the sleeve is naturally not an ordinary sword in the sleeve, she is a person next to the queen mother, and her force value is extraordinary. The sword in the sleeve is a hidden weapon, so naturally she will not be poisoned.

Yan Luo stretched out his hand: "Give me the antidote."

Only then did Xiangcha come to his senses, and hurriedly took out a small white porcelain bottle from his bosom.

As soon as she took it out, Yan Luo snatched it, grabbed the monster's jaw with one hand, and poured out the pill with the other to force-feed it.

The monster wanted to resist, but was slapped on the chest by Yan Luo and had to swallow it.

Those clear eyes reflected Yan Luo's face, causing him to withdraw his hand suddenly and take a step back.

Seeing his big reaction, Xiangcha asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Luo: "Female."

Xiangcha: "...?"

Fragrant Tea: "!!!"

Several people stared at the whimpering little monster.

It was hard to imagine that she was a girl, no, in fact they didn't treat her as a human being.

Kong Ji: "The shopkeeper."

When the shopkeeper heard Kong Ji calling him, he was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Hey, guest officer?"

"Since you found the first corpse until now, have you ever died?"

"As you said objectively, you have seen corpses. How could there be no dead people..." He was stunned for a moment as he said this, and then he thought about it carefully: "The number of people staying here is indeed quite large... I haven't heard of anyone missing in the vicinity... "

Mu Yuanyong looked at Kong Ji, only to hear Kong Ji say: "It's also possible that she didn't kill the body, and it may have died before she brought it here."

"But..." But this doesn't prove that this guy is innocent.

"I don't know why." Kong Ji said slowly, "I don't think she killed people."

This is an inexplicable intuition.

The shopkeeper wanted to argue, but was pulled down by Xiao Er. He compared the numbers of the two sides, and found that he really had no right to speak.

Yan Luo said: "She is seriously injured, and there are some strange things about her, I suggest you take it with you first."

Xiangcha glanced at him.

Yan Luo continued: "We have two sets of interrogation methods in private, one is gentle, for those who are still useful in the future, and can't hurt their lives but want to get news from them, we use the mild one, but the time will usually pass. It’s longer. The other set is faster, but the method is more cruel. Generally, few people can stick to this set, and it’s basically useless after getting the news.”

He didn't care about the shopkeeper at the side, and his eyes fell on Mu Yuanyong: "Brother Yuan, make up your mind which one to use."

Mu Yuanyong looked at Kong Ji: "Kong Ji, which one do you choose?"

Kong Ji: "Accordingly, I should choose the second option for our benefit. First, this person has nothing to do with us. Second, there is no way to determine her danger. It is best to kill her just by getting the news. It's safe, if we choose the first option and the delay is too long, even if we save her life... what's the use?"

Mu Yuanyong: "Then the second type?"

Kong Ji: "No, I choose the first one."

This time Xiangcha asked, "Why?"

Kong Ji: "The way she is now is naturally related to her growth experience. We can imagine how it is, because I used to struggle slowly from that place to this point. Some people are lucky, such as me, such as You, rely on noble people to get a turn for the better. Some people are unlucky, those who died, those who couldn’t make it through, and even those who didn’t even have a name before they died..."

He didn't say any more, paused for a moment, trying to get rid of the shadow of the past: "You understand what I mean."

No one spoke.

Kong Ji: "I want to try, whether a person who has been completely destroyed can stand up again. Death is too simple, too easy. It is rare to change everything in the past and stand up again."

Mu Yuanyong: "It's interesting."

He said: "You seem to have a deep meaning, using this to refer to Dayong?"

Kong Ji: "..."

The shopkeeper took a step back calmly.

Xiangcha reassured: "Don't be afraid, shopkeeper, we are serious people."

Kong Ji sighed: "I can't help myself not to think about it. You know, the most afraid of comparison in anything."

Xiangcha and the others didn't know what Kong Ji was comparing Dayong with.

But Mu Yuanyong knew that he was comparing everything in the future with Dayong.

He didn't know, why didn't he think about why.

Human beings are born human, and the biggest difference from other species is that they think more and eat less.

He said, "Then try it."

"Yan Luo, I'll leave it to you, it's getting late, let everyone go to bed."

Yan Luo glanced at the little monster, and said calmly, "Yes, Brother Yuan, don't worry."

Mu Yuanyong said again: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, we will take away the culprit, and your business will be back to normal."

The shopkeeper quickly squeezed out a smiling face: "That's great, thank you, sir..."

-

When the shopkeeper and Xiao Zhan came down tremblingly, the shopkeeper couldn't help guessing: "Who are these people..."

Xiao Er glanced at him: "What do you want to do so much, in short, you are someone we can't provoke."

"Hey, there are too many people we can't provoke..." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands: "I just thought it was too much to provoke."

"You don't care how much you can't provoke..." Xiaoer sighed, "Have you heard a word?"

"What?"

Xiao Er: "The more you know, the faster you die."

Shopkeeper: "..."

He stopped shaking at that time, and rummaged around: "You eat me, live in me, and expect me to die all day... Hey, what is my plan?"

Xiaoer: "If you say a few words about you, you will have to make calculations. Don't you just point out that I am afraid of kindness and dare not do anything to you!"

The shopkeeper is even more: "Okay! You still have to fight with me! ... Where did you hide my abacus?"

Xiao Er rolled his eyes.

"Don't go, you give me back my abacus!"

"It's so noisy, if you don't sleep, I will sleep."

-

Early the next morning, a group of people packed up their things and continued on their way. The little monster was tightly tied up and under the care of Yan Luo. Xiangcha seemed to lose interest suddenly, so he didn't even mention it.

Mu Yuanyong and Kong Ji stood at the gate of the courtyard saying goodbye to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper fell asleep, really didn't think about anything, and was quite happy: "The guest officer will come back next time, and I will give you a [-]% discount!"

Xiao Er poured cold water as usual: "What you say must count."

Shopkeeper: "..."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to hit someone with an abacus again, Xiangcha smiled and smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, come back next time, don't make a fuss at this time."

"Goodbye."

——"A leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, where life does not meet again."

Mu Yuanyong and his party went on the road again.

"Staying in the palace all day, looking at the world through other people's mouths, I just think what others say, the size of the land, the size of the population, taxes...etc." Mu Yuanyong sighed: "I just think this The world is small, and Dayong feels very small."

"From my ancestors to the present, the territory is still so big, the cities are still so many, the population... the population is not as good as it is, ashamed! For some people, there is no great war. But what if there is one day?" Mu Yuanyong rode a horse: "I have walked for so long, and I haven't reached the next city, so I know that a mile is so long, a foot is so wide, and a road is so long. To be able to walk for such a long time, one human life... is still so worthless."

Kong Ji: "If you go to war, your life is worth straw; if you go to study, your life is not as good as a book; if you are doing business, your life is not as good as silver taels. Whether a life is worth money or not depends on what you do."

Mu Yuanyong laughed and said, "Then it seems that I am very valuable now."

"You can't use money to measure it now, just like money can buy cloth, but not the cloth of a country; money can buy grain, but not the grain produced by all the land in a year; money can buy life, but not on your head."

Mu Yuanyong looked back at him: "Did you do your homework behind my back?"

"You said you want me to teach you, but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn, and I'm afraid that my stomach will be empty and there will be no ink."

Mu Yuanyong smiled: "You took it seriously when you said something weak back then."

"Every word you said, Kong Ji did not take it as a lie."

Mu Yuanyong was stunned, and then sighed with a smile: "Life happens to be a bosom friend..."

Kong Ji looked at his back and didn't speak.

Behind him, Xiangcha whispered to Yan Luo: "If Kong Ji hadn't been...in the future, he might be able to assist His Highness and become a famous official of a generation."

Yan Luo gave a absent-minded hum.

"Don't you feel sorry?"

Yan Luo said: "I'll go and see that little monster, I just taught her how to speak today."

Fragrant Tea: "..."

Then she couldn't help but sneered: "One by one, it made me all alone."

-

But in the capital city, when those grand tutors returned home, they were not guards with their mouths, and they probably had a hint of showing off.

Originally, the queen mother used it as a gun target to send off several grand tutors, and then someone leaked the news, and it was passed on ten to ten times, not to mention the capital, from the royal relatives to the beggars. of.

Even other countries know about it.

Queen Mother: "..." Why are those old fellows so talkative.

At the beginning of each year, envoys from various countries will be sent to and from each other, or they will send gifts, or exchange a few pleasantries, anyway, it is just those things in politics.

The queen mother is troubled by this, and most of them are avoided when they can, except for those who cannot be avoided, come out and deal with it.

She is a woman, and there is nothing wrong with her, except that she wields knives and guns, cuts her skirts, and smashes her jewelry to get to this point. With a little wealth, the superficial prosperity and prosperity are hard to catch her eyes.

She cares more about something practical.

But those things are often not something that can be settled after meeting the envoys during this period of time. If you don't show off your arm muscles or something, you can't convince these people with some real knives and guns.

Don't even think about being given something practical for you.

Originally, the Empress Dowager already had a draft in her heart, planning to hold a military parade or something, but on the first day of attendance, the first greeting she met with the envoy was: "I heard that the Crown Prince has gone to Taihang Mountain?"

Queen Mother: "..." She saw that those old guys were tired of their jobs.
