"This kind of sneaky traitor, even if he is killed, he will not admit that his hands and feet are not clean." The fifth prince said to Xue Yao: "There is no need to talk to him, if he can jump a ten-foot-high wall, he must have good feet. Last month, the coaches all praised the seventh brother for his amazing insight into moves and footwork, and the seventh brother will never wrong him."
The sixth prince stared at the eunuch vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "This thief is so good at martial arts, he didn't go to the martial arts test, fight for the position of general, and he didn't go to the imperial forest guard, but he just entered the palace as a slave. Something is wrong."
Xue Yao said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I suspect that there is something tricky behind this person, so I want to ask him a few words alone."
Because he had seen Xue Yao's decisive decision to harvest grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang with his own eyes, the sixth prince trusted Xue Yao very much in his heart.
Since Xue Yao insisted on making such a request, there must be his reason. The sixth prince turned around and whispered a few words to the fifth prince, and turned around to agree to Xue Yao's request.
Xue Yao hurried forward and made a gesture of invitation to the eunuch.
The two walked to the corner of the verandah where no one was around, Xue Yao asked him directly and in a low voice: "Are you in a hurry for money?"
The eunuch immediately lowered his head and denied: "Your servant is wronged!"
Xue Yao couldn't let the princes wait too long, so he straightened his face and said harshly: "Listen, this is the Prince's Palace. You stole and ran away, causing the fifth prince to fall and hurt himself. Do you know how big a crime this is? You can take it at your fingertips." I insist that there is no theft, it is impossible to get away with it, and I will not be able to get away with it, and the suspects involved in the royal family will be sent directly to the North Town Governor to await trial, do you need me to tell you where it is?"
"I beg my lord to spare my servant's life, I will never dare again." The eunuch's face turned even redder, but there was still no fear in his eyes.
Xue Yao looked at him sternly: "Not only can I beg the princes to spare your life, but I can also lend you money to tide you over. I just ask you to tell me why you need this money, why you are lying in ambush beside the prince, and who sent you money?" Are you here?"
When the eunuch raised his eyes, murderous intent was revealed in his dark eyes, and he begged for mercy in a low voice, but his voice was threatening and arrogant: "Young master, where did you say that? Your purse was stolen by your servant, and your servant can plead guilty. It’s going to the palace to make a living, why talk about ambush the prince? This crime can’t be afforded by slaves.”
Xue Yao grabbed his arm, frowned and said anxiously: "I want to help you. It's meaningless for you to argue with me. Will the torturers in Beizhen Fusi listen to you? They have ten thousand ways to make you confess voluntarily , At that time, your good legs may have been useless."
The eunuch stared at Xue Yao for a while, then slowly straightened up, his figure was half a head taller than Xue Yao, and he completely lost the shrinking attitude he had just had.
"Why did you help me, son?" the eunuch asked him.
Xue Yao glanced at the impatient fifth prince who was waiting in the distance, and replied anxiously: "I always like to make friends with knights in the rivers and lakes, just now I saw you leaping up, as light as a swallow, climbing up the high wall effortlessly, It makes me admire in my heart, you are so good at it, why don't you get a martial arts honor? It's a pity to be a slave in the palace."
The eunuch stared at Xue Yao expressionlessly, and after a while, he replied in a low voice: "Would you be willing to make friends with the knight-errants who robbed houses?"
Xue Yao was taken aback.
The eunuch snorted coldly and said: "My humble life should have been given to the prison long ago. There is no pity. I buried your money bag under the plum tree in the west courtyard. For any other questions, I have no comment."
Xue Yao: "..."
This mysterious person is really difficult to communicate with, no wonder his background is not mentioned in the whole book.
From what he said, it seems that he was a bandit in the past, and he is not qualified to take the right path of martial arts. Even if this is the case, there is no need to enter the palace and become a eunuch? .
"I'll smooth things over for you in a while." Xue Yao gave up asking, and calmly said to the eunuch, "You told Your Highness that you just knocked down my purse. After picking it up, you wanted to return it, but because of the 20 taels of silver, you became greedy. , not premeditated theft."
The eunuch's expression was shocked, and it took a long time before he said: "Why do you help me? You want me to do things for you?"
"No need." Xue Yao said: "You have fallen to this point, so don't suspect that I am greedy for you. I just admire your martial arts, and I will give you a chance to correct your mistakes. I will not be an example. I will leave that sentence here-- If you are in urgent need of silver, I can lend it to you, as long as you tell me the proper use and why you entered the palace as a slave."
The eunuch looked puzzled, but he didn't answer Xue Yao.
"Ayao!" The fifth prince under the verandah couldn't wait any longer, and shouted at Xue Yao: "Stop talking to him! Bring him here!"
Helpless, Xue Yao could only greet the eunuch: "Go first, do as I say."
"Picked it up?" The Fifth Prince angrily said, "Didn't you just say that the purse was taken by him?"
The sixth prince said urgently: "Don't listen to the thief's rhetoric, picking up property and keeping it for yourself is completely different from stealing!"
The Seventh Prince also gave his careful judgment to the eunuch: "Liar!"
"Besides, how could he be such a light-hearted eunuch?" The fifth prince said loudly, "We must investigate to the end!"
The sixth prince agreed: "Ayao, there is no need to show mercy to those who steal."
The eunuch seemed to have expected that he was doomed, and the shrinking expression was no longer on his face, but he raised his eyes to look at the three princes expressionlessly.
With lifeless eyes, no emotion can be seen.
The fifth prince was startled by the eunuch's restrained hostility.
The sixth prince stared back at the eunuch with open eyes.
The Seventh Prince looked at the eunuch expressionlessly, then turned around suddenly, and buried his bun face on Xue Yao's left shoulder: "Your Highness is so scared."
Xue Yao calmly raised his hand and smoothed the chubby boy's hair: "It's all right, I won't let him approach His Highness."
There is no way, when his fake dragon Aotian feels real danger, he is always so pragmatic and doesn't care about dignity.
At the age of three, I look old, and I don’t forget my original intention.
"What are you looking at!" The fifth prince walked up to the eunuch with his chin raised, and looked at him fiercely: "How dare you show off in front of me if you know how to do three-legged cat kung fu? I'll show you what real kung fu is today." !"
"Your Highness?" Xue Yao was startled, for fear that the Fifth Prince would fight against the mysterious eunuch.
Isn't this looking for a draw!
If they can't fight, the relationship will be even worse, and they still count on the mysterious master to guide the fifth prince's kung fu!
"Come on, go to the office and invite Zhao Huwei over here! Hurry up!" The fifth prince was also afraid of embarrassment, so he didn't plan to do it by himself.
He ordered someone to invite a second-rank eunuch guard, and had two tricks with the burglarizing eunuch.
As soon as the guards arrived, the fifth prince announced a martial arts competition.
The guards and eunuchs walked to the open space in the center of the courtyard, and the prince and his attendants retreated to the verandah to watch the battle.
The fifth prince gave an order, and the martial arts competition began. The guard rushed forward, swept across with his legs, and kicked the eunuch into the flower bed with one kick.
The eunuch's hat was kicked off, and a few strands of hair were scattered.
The eunuch struggled to raise his head among the flowers, and saw the fifth prince finally had a dispirited smile on his face, then picked up his three mountain hat, and crawled out of the flower bed on his knees, with a dying and weak face.
"I knew that this thief only knows how to use his legs." The fifth prince said disdainfully: "As long as he can take the three moves of the guards, I will believe that he has some skills, so that he will not steal money and steal. Now he can even dodge a kick." However, it seems that they will only escape over the wall."
When the eunuch listened to this, his complexion changed, and he suddenly bumped his head and said: "I beg Your Highness to give this slave one more chance!"
The Ouchi guard glanced sideways at the eunuch, turned his head away and let out a sneer.
The prince was really unreasonable, he hurriedly called him to the Prince's Palace, and actually asked him to compete with an eunuch, and it was a joke if it was spread out.
The fifth prince turned his head and said to the guard: "Try it again, Guard Zhao, please say hello before you make a move, lest he is not convinced."
"Yes, Your Highness." The guard took the order loudly.
The second round of competition started, and the crowd didn't bother to retreat, and waited with disdain for the Ouchi guards to kick the thieving eunuch away again.
The eunuch's hat had just been kicked off, a few strands of hair fell down, and the wound on the side of his face was covered with mud and sand. He looked extremely depressed, but his eyes changed.
He stared at the guards calmly, the cold wind of early winter brushed over his disheveled hair, and the murderous aura that had been suppressed for many years gradually released from those eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes.
The guard was a little hairy from the eunuch's stare, and his mood became impetuous. He just wanted to make a quick decision, so he yelled and punched the eunuch——
The eunuch didn't move his feet, the side of his head, the tip of his nose barely brushed against the guard's fist, and then turned around smoothly, the eunuch turned to the guard's side in an instant, raised his foot and stepped on the guard's knee!
With a muffled "Plop", the guard knelt down on one knee, turned his head hastily and wanted to fight back, but saw that a punch with a big sandbag had already hit the door!
The fist suddenly retracted and stopped at the tip of his nose, but did not land on his face.
Just by the wind of the punch, the guard could already imagine what the consequences would be if the punch was thrown down in one go.
The attendants watching the bustle fell silent for a moment.
The expressions on the faces of the three little princes were also stunned.
There was silence in the courtyard, only the sound of birds flapping their wings.
"I lost." Zhao Huwei said this sentence with a dull expression.
"Why is there such a powerful eunuch beside elder brother?" The fifth prince sat in the flower hall, staring at the "master eunuch" kneeling by the threshold with a depressed expression.
"You can win even a second-rank guard, why don't you take part in martial arts?" The anger of the sixth prince has been worn away, and only curiosity is left in his heart.
"The servant came from a lowly family background, and my father committed crimes in the village, so I am not qualified to participate in the village examination." The eunuch knelt on the ground and answered unhurriedly.
Xue Yao is not happy anymore.
This "mysterious expert" is too snobbish. When he first asked, the eunuch was fooling around, but the prince was so serious and made excuses when he asked!
Of course, this must be an excuse.
The mysterious eunuch has this ability, even if he can't take part in martial arts, he can still join the army and make meritorious service under the account of a famous general.
No matter how you say it, it is impossible to enter the palace as a slave.
He must have other plans to enter the palace.
Not long after, in the west courtyard of the Prince's Palace, the little eunuch who had just served tea to the princes quickly slipped behind the rockery.
Seeing the old chief eunuch waiting there, the young eunuch immediately bowed his head and reported: "Eunuch Zheng has been cleared of the charges on the grounds that he picked up the purse, and he didn't mention your old man."
The old eunuch nodded and waved him away.
The young eunuch standing behind the old eunuch also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the old eunuch: "Godfather, don't worry, that idiot won't confess to us, even if he confesses, my son will take responsibility for godfather!"
The old eunuch snorted coldly: "When the prince comes back, he will report a serious crime. If he doesn't hit this idiot with [-] boards, he won't let go of his hatred!"
The young eunuch nodded and said: "This time, he must not be spared lightly! He dared to attack the celebrities around the Seventh Prince, and almost dragged his godfather! We might as well transfer him to Concubine Hui's side as soon as possible, so that he won't cause trouble again."
"Not in a hurry." The old eunuch laughed shrilly, "Let him raise 50 taels more."
The sixth prince stared at the eunuch vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "This thief is so good at martial arts, he didn't go to the martial arts test, fight for the position of general, and he didn't go to the imperial forest guard, but he just entered the palace as a slave. Something is wrong."
Xue Yao said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I suspect that there is something tricky behind this person, so I want to ask him a few words alone."
