[comprehensive] not human
Chapter 34 Snake Demon
Apparently the shopkeeper of this black shop also knew that he could not eat human flesh for this group of dignitaries, and the dishes that were served immediately afterward were both fast and good, at least Yanbai did not see them complaining that the meat was sour. It is to flow blood into rivers.
The big man who was originally making trouble didn't want to make trouble in front of the officials, so he endured it and sat down after the shopkeeper apologized and gave away a pot of braised pork for free.Immediately, the whole lobby was filled with the sound of people eating, drinking and talking again, only Yan Bai's side was extremely quiet, this abnormality could not help but attract the shopkeeper's attention, and he was even glanced at by other guests several times.
Zhu Juren ate in silence with his head down, but pushed the plate of meat away. The shopkeeper noticed this as soon as he walked over.He first smiled and asked Yan Bai who was sitting with his head propped up: "My guest, why don't you eat it? We guarantee that you will want to eat it again after eating it once."
Yan Bai glanced at him lazily: "Oh."
"..." The shopkeeper's smiling face was a little stiff, and he turned to Zhu Juren: "Why are you a vegetarian only, come here, come here, you can eat a few more pieces of meat." He pushed the braised pork towards Zhu Juren.
The hand of Zhu Juren serving food froze, he looked up at him and forced a smile: "Uh, I believe in Buddhism and only eat vegetarian food."
"Then you still order this dish?"
Zhu Juren pointed to the ceiling solemnly: "For the Buddha."
The shopkeeper originally wanted to say that you are a vegetarian, and of course Buddha is even more vegetarian. He made an excuse to perfunctory you and pretended he was stupid, but before he could open his mouth, he saw the young eunuch standing over there walking towards him, and he immediately left these two people who didn’t know what to do. He prepared some food anyway, bent over and greeted him with a smile: "Guest officer, what's your order?"
"Five first-class rooms." The young man in the silver-gray flying fish suit frowned, as if he couldn't stand everything here, especially the shopkeeper in front of him, "Remember to keep it clean."
The shopkeeper wiped off his cold sweat, pretending not to see his disgusted gaze, nodded and bowed his head: "No problem, no problem, Erhu—quick, go and prepare five upper rooms for the distinguished guests! Ask for the cleanest one!"
The young man glanced at Zhu Juren and Yan Bai, and when he glanced at the latter, he paused, and the two looked at each other.
"Zhifeng, come here." The old eunuch shouted from the other side, but the young man looked away, turned and walked back without hesitation.
Zhu Juren breathed a sigh of relief, embarrassed to admit that he felt the pressure from a superior in a peer. Is this the difference between an official and an ordinary scholar?Even if the other party is a eunuch, he can crush himself to death.He sighed. For the first time, he had doubts about his decision to give up his life like a paradise in the murals and go to Beijing for the exam.
It's not that he doesn't know that the current imperial court is controlled by eunuchs, the Holy Majesty basically does not appear in front of the officials, all orders are conveyed through the personal eunuchs, and the memorials written by the ministers have to be reviewed by these rootless people before they can be presented to the Holy Majesty , these things are no secret among scholars.Before that, he still held a sliver of hope, hoping that others would lie to him, hoping that it wasn't like this, hoping that those rumors about Dongchang Eagle Dog were just rumors, and hoping that it would be false if an honest and honest official was framed, but now, he Seeing the truth with my own eyes.The unbearable truth for him.
Zhu Juren clenched his fists because he saw some eunuchs throw leftover food to the prisoners and kicked them a few times.They did not allow female prisoners to feed the man in chains, but ordered him to eat himself.When the other party didn't want to suffer this kind of insult, he just poured the leftovers, soup and water on the prisoner's face.Zhu Juren found out that the prisoner was none other than Mr. Zou who had met him once!Mr. Zou used to be the governor of Zhu Juren's hometown. He was upright and honest, and he was always supported by the people. Later, when he was promoted to the capital, he was sent by the people to travel a hundred miles away.This is a good official!Now they are being treated like this!
Zhu Juren could only feel a surge of anger burning in his heart, and his hands became tighter and tighter.Now the group of eunuchs began to tease a female prisoner again, one kicked, another slapped, interspersed with the female prisoner's weeping and wailing.However, her begging for mercy was not only useless but made the eunuchs even more excited.
At some point, even the three robbers quieted down, watching the eunuchs do their best.Only the old eunuch calmly allowed his subordinates to do whatever they wanted, watching all this with peace of mind, while eating vegetables and sipping wine, he actually took this abuse as a play!
Zhu Juren's hand clenched even tighter, his nails sank deep into his flesh, he felt that he could not bear it any longer!
Suddenly there was rumbling thunder outside the house, and the door of the inn was blown open by the wind. Everyone saw bright lightning flashes across the sky late at night, but it was a sign of heavy rain.Xiao Er hurried forward to close the door again, this time closing the door completely with wooden boards.As soon as he closed the door, the raindrops fell, crackling on the wooden door and rattling the door frame.
Xiao Er scolded God, and complained in a low voice that the weather has become more and more erratic recently, and it will rain when it rains.
"Hahaha, maybe this is a warning from God to some people." The big robber said with a chuckle.
Immediately, a eunuch slapped the table and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about!"
"What did I say? Did I tell you?" The big man smacked his lips, picked up the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl, and put the bowl on the table after drinking in one gulp. ! Some people are not as good as pigs and dogs! Even God can't stand it!"
"You!" After being insulted by this, the eunuch immediately pulled out the knife.
Yan Bai paused when he tapped his fingers on the table, narrowed his eyes slightly, and watched coldly as his companion also drew out his knife in a demonstration.
The old eunuch was sitting at a table with his back facing the big man. In this situation, he remained motionless and continued to pick up vegetables, chew, drink, and swallow slowly.He didn't take out a handkerchief from his cuff until he swallowed all the food in his mouth, and wiped the corner of his mouth: "Put the knife away."
"Yes!" After several swipes, the snow-white long knife was sheathed again.
This is not over yet.
The old eunuch raised his hand, and the white silk handkerchief fluttered down on the table. He coughed, "Zhifeng."
"Yes!" The young eunuch who had stood behind him for such a long time and hadn't had a drop of water answered, took out a chopstick from the chopstick holder and threw it at the big man without looking at it.
His movements are casual, soft, with the careless grace of throwing a flower.The speed of the chopsticks was astonishingly fast. They disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant, and when they reappeared in the next second, they were inserted into the left eye of the big man, and blood flowed profusely in an instant.
The big man was stunned for a moment before he realized it. He yelled and took a step back covering his eyes. He was tripped by the stool behind him, fell backwards and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"Brother!" The woman stood up suddenly and screamed.
The old eunuch nodded in satisfaction, finally stood up and turned around, his glaring red lips curled up, and said softly: "I think it's useless for you to have eyes, so I'll help you blind the other one too. Young man It's normal to be angry. But those who walk in the rivers and lakes should show their tricks more clearly." Like a patient teacher, he talked a long way about educating students, and his earnest words are for the benefit of students.And his "student" has no energy to curse, his throat is filled with wailing.
The woman's eyes were red with anger, she grabbed a whip wrapped around her waist and wanted to shake it off.
"Xiaohong, stop." Her companion stopped her, it was the little old man who kept smiling, even at this time.He bowed his hands to the old eunuch, and said politely: "I'm sorry, the children at home are not sensible, so I need you to educate them."
"Uncle Song!" The woman stomped her feet, but was caught by Uncle Song's gaze. He glared at the young eunuch indignantly, and turned around to apply medicine to the big man who was rolling on the ground.
Uncle Song apologized again: "I'm really sorry, I let you watch a joke."
The old eunuch smacked his lips, walked around the stool towards the stairs, and groaned: "Forget it, we still have official business, so we don't care about it with you." When he said this, Uncle Song thanked him very gratefully.
Zhu Juren felt that not only his lungs were hurting from qi, but his internal organs were as if they were on fire, scalding with anger.
He whispered to Yanbai: "This is too much, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Yan Bai.Yan Bai motioned him to look back, and sure enough the young eunuch was standing there staring at them coldly.The legendary martial arts masters are all people with amazing hearing and sharp ears.
Zhu Juren was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that the eunuch would throw a chopstick over like just now. Of course, Yan Bai would be fine as a snake demon. He himself... Let's put it this way, ten of them together probably beat him. But the big man who was poked blind just now.
There was another thunder outside, and the sound of the rain was getting louder and more urgent.After the eunuchs finished their meal, they drove the prisoners who hadn't eaten to go upstairs, leaving the young eunuch to sit down alone, and asked Xiao Er to serve some more dishes before they started eating.
The three robbers also went back to the room, Yan Bai and Zhu Juren almost followed them up the stairs.
When passing by the young eunuch, Yan Bai heard a very small voice in his ears: "I'm under Yao Zhifeng." He stopped in surprise and looked at the young eunuch.The young eunuch was serving food, and he didn't even look at him, his lips didn't move, as if the voice just now was an illusion.
Yan Bai couldn't help sighing, this man's strength is really strong enough, even many monsters can't do this kind of sound transmission.He smiled slightly, twisted his voice into a thin stream, and sent it to Yao Zhifeng's ear: "I'll explain it to you." Then he quickly caught up with Zhu Juren who was walking forward unconsciously.
Behind him, Yao Zhifeng looked at his back meaningfully until they disappeared on the second floor.With martial arts practiced to his level, he has a certain sensitivity to masters. He is not mistaken, in the entire inn, this black-robed man who has been quiet and silent is a master!He is still a master of the same level as himself!
Yao Zhifeng wanted to sneer when he thought of Kang Fuhai pretending to let him teach that unlucky man a lesson.As one of the eunuchs in power in Dongchang, Kang Fuhai is one of the worst martial arts among them. He also knows that this time he came out to arrest people and asked Yao Zhifeng to follow him for the sake of convenience. .Just because he has the power, he can use Yao Zhifeng who has much higher martial arts than him at will.Just because he has the emperor's trust, even an idiot can firmly control half of Dongchang's power!As long as you have the emperor's trust, you can gain power. As long as you have power, you can drive whoever you want, and do whatever you want!
Yao Zhifeng bit down the cabbage on the tip of the chopsticks, chewed it carefully, his handsome eyebrows looked ghostly under the flickering candlelight, and his pair of handsome peach eyes were so deep that no light could be seen.
The rain outside the house was still falling, splashing, splashing, and the world was in chaos.
Yan Bai sat motionless on the edge of the bed. If anyone came in at this time, he would surely be scared to death: He didn't turn on the lamp, didn't take off his clothes and went to bed, but just sat quietly in the dark, his eyes glowing abnormally red.He looked at the window that was slapped and shaken by the rain, and raised the corners of his mouth. If he read correctly, that woman is...
