The imperial concubine was sitting on the couch, Huanyue stood aside with her head bowed, the air in the room seemed to be stagnant.

After a long while, Huanyue said cautiously, "Your Majesty, there are already people ready in the respect room. Do you want your slaves to inform Eunuch Zhao, so that we can replace some of our own people before tomorrow."

"It's too late," said the imperial concubine's ice-cold voice, "It's too eye-catching to be replaced at this time."

"Then... what should we do? This time, almost all the old people in our Chengqian Palace were folded in. Now there is only one Wang Qin left at the fourth elder brother, one Li Guoliang who is still ill, and even the little one. There are not many eunuchs left." Huanyue lowered her head, not daring to look at the imperial concubine's expression.

The imperial concubine turned her head to look out of the window, and snorted coldly, "Go and tell Shen Xingsi, I will see the result within three days."

"My lady..."

"Liu Qiming is a smart man, as long as you tell him what Ben Gong said, he will naturally know what to do."

"Yes," Huanyue took the lead.

The imperial concubine sat alone on the couch with cold eyes.

Shinkyoji

This is already the second round of questioning, Su Wei swallowed and stood in the middle of the room.

Shen Xingsi's torture was different from what he thought, there wasn't a group of nuns holding needles surrounding them, at least he hadn't seen it yet.

The eunuch in charge just locked them together and asked Su Wei one by one for questioning. When he asked Su Wei, he gave him a bowl of water to drink.

A little eunuch closed the window, startling Su Wei.Sitting in front of the table was Eunuch Liu, the steward of Shenxing Division. Eunuch Liu smiled, leaned over and took out a wooden box, "Eunuch Su, is this your thing?"

Su Wei nodded, he was very familiar with this box, and it contained all his belongings.

The box was opened, and Eunuch Liu took out a jade ring, "This thing?"

"This is a reward from the fourth elder brother." Su Wei quickly answered.

Eunuch Liu nodded, "No wonder, it's a good thing."

Su Wei lowered his head and said in his heart, I can't give you good things, but the master will reward you.

"Okay, father-in-law, take the box away, our family has already checked it."

"Yes," Su Wei bowed and picked up his own box, took out two silver ingots from the box, and pushed them in front of Eunuch Liu, "Please take care of me, Eunuch."

Eunuch Liu smiled, picked up two silver ingots and stuffed them into his sleeves, "Don't worry, Eunuch Su, our family knows it well."

Su Wei felt relieved, nodded to the father-in-law, and went out with the little eunuch.

elder brother so

The fourth elder brother sat in the study with a sullen face, motionless.Wang Chaoqing waved his fan cautiously, not daring to say a word.

There were fifteen young eunuchs standing outside, all newly recruited by the respect room.

The helpless thing is that their master is in a bad mood now, so he doesn't care.

At the door, Yang Yi, who was on duty, poked his head. Wang Chaoqing pretended not to see him. He was not Su Peisheng. He had offended his master at this time, and there was no one to intercede.Yang Yi scorned Wang Chaoqing in his heart, and the little eunuch standing in the yard was about to be frozen into a popsicle.

Wang Qin followed Namutu out of the east chamber, and Namutu went into the study to meet the fourth elder brother, while Wang Qin stood at the door.Yang Yi leaned over, "Grandpa Wang, the slaves in this institute are relying on you now, what do you think these little eunuchs are going to do, they can't just stand here forever."

Wang Qin looked at the little eunuchs who were shivering from the cold, and hummed, "We don't know what the master wants to arrange. Let them go to the house to rest first."

Yang Yi responded, recruited a young eunuch, and brought him into the West Side Hall.

In the middle of the night, Namutu led Wang Qin and several haha ​​beads into the backyard quietly.

Yonghe Palace

Qingju hurried in, waved away the maids in the room, walked up to Defei's ear and said, "Mother, there is news from Shenxing Division that the thief has been caught."

Concubine De raised her head, glanced at Qingju, "Caught it?"

"Yes, it is said that it is a young eunuch who is in charge of candle charcoal fire. He couldn't survive the punishment last night, so he was recruited. The people from the Department of Shenxing even took out a few ingots of gold from his quilt."

Concubine De sneered, "This is really jumping over the wall."

Qingju whispered, "Would you like a slave..."

"No need," Concubine De stroked the silk thread in her hand, "You can't push people too fast, since they say they found gold, it means they found gold."

"But, I'm afraid that the servants of Shen Xingsi will be released in this way." Qingju frowned and said.

"So what," Concubine De picked out a purple thread, "It's a crime to let it out, even if those in charge have nothing to do with this matter, they must be useless and careless people, even if the fourth elder brother... Consort De paused for a moment, "I won't be using them again for a while."

Concubine De was hesitant to speak, but Qingju didn't dare to ask any more questions, and only leaned over to say yes.

Shinkyoji

Su Wei has been in that dark little room for three days. The room is extremely hot and stuffy, with a smell of sweat and foul smell.No one took them out for three days, and no one came to clean them up.Su Wei licked his dry lips and sat in the corner with his knees hugged.

The people around were dragged away one by one, and dragged back one by one, but fortunately, no one summoned Su Wei, and Chai Yu and Liu Yu were also fine.Chang Qing and Zhao Xin were whipped, but they were not heavy.Thanks to their good health, Ku Kui and Ruan Lu survived two rounds of torture.

The more miserable ones are those little eunuchs who can't even see their masters face, they look like blood gourds.On the night of his execution, Zhao Xin's apprentice died in the house, and was dragged out with a straw mat.

At noon on the third day, two eunuchs entered the house and took Liu Yu and Chai Yu away.

Su Wei hugged his knees even harder, he didn't believe that he would die here, he was Su Peisheng.

In the afternoon, Chai Yu was sent back, and he was given a board to sit or stand.Su Wei went over to support him and let him lie on top of him.Chai Yu leaned close to Su Wei's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, we're going out soon."

At night, Liu Yu was sent back with his hands swollen like big radishes.

A little eunuch who was unconscious due to torture was dragged out again. Liu Yu watched the little eunuch being dragged away, bit his lip tightly, and buried his head between his knees.

Su Wei recognized the little eunuch, who was dedicated to offering charcoal fire and candles to the fourth elder brother. Not long ago, when Liu Yu was in charge of the keys, he took him to the warehouse once.

At noon the next day, a group of eunuchs opened the door and let Su Wei and the others go out.

Standing in the courtyard and being illuminated by the sun, Su Wei was still a little dizzy, but fortunately Chai Yu was beside him to support him.

Eunuch Liu, the chief eunuch of the Shenxing Department, stood in front of the crowd, "Last night, the real thief was executed. You gang of servants are negligent, dereliction of duty, sloppy, let the villain take advantage of it, the imperial concubine has an order, each of you will be reduced for three months. Twenty rods are used as punishment."

Everyone knelt down to give thanks, and a group of young eunuchs brought up the bench.Su Wei was placed on a chair under a tree.

After the eunuch executed the sentence, there was a crackling sound. Just as Su Wei wanted to open his mouth to shout, he suddenly realized that it didn't hurt very much.Amidst howling ghosts and howling wolves, Su Wei raised his head to look at Eunuch Liu who was in the corridor, and Eunuch Liu smiled at him.

After leaving the Shenxing Department, Su Wei and the others were arranged to recuperate in the servant's room. Whether they can return to elder brother's office in the future depends on the arrangement of the master.

That night, an eunuch knocked on Su Wei's door.

"Little pigeon?" Su Wei was a little surprised.

Xiao Erge slapped Su Wei neatly, "Brother Su, how is your injury? Brother, I'm worried to death."

Su Wei scratched his head, "I'm fine, I didn't suffer any injuries, just a little dehydrated."

Xiao Erge looked at Su Wei who was standing upright, and then at the eunuch lying on the kang in the room, feeling a sense of admiration spontaneously. "You are really amazing. You went to the Shenxing Division and nothing happened."

Su Wei chuckled twice, he knew in his heart that the jade ring of the fourth elder brother might have saved him, and his 40 taels of silver probably didn't do much.

"By the way," Xiao Erge took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Su Wei, and said in a low voice, "Master gave it, the best wound medicine."

Su Wei took the porcelain vase with mixed feelings in his heart.

Xiao Erge looked left and right, and leaned into Su Wei's ear, "My brother, the master is thinking about you. If your injury is not a serious problem, go back to elder brother's office quickly. The office is very busy recently."
