Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 31 years

Sho San Institute

Ku Kui carried a big box, walked around the backyard, and finally returned to the front yard with the box, and pushed the door into Eunuch Su's room.

The room was dark, Su Wei sat in front of the table without saying a word, Ku Kui came in holding the box, looked around and stuffed the box under Su Wei's bed.

"Ku Kui," Su Wei said just as Ku Kui was about to go out.

"Yes, Mr. Su, please tell me?"

"Go and call Yang Yi for me." Su Wei lowered his head and said.

Since the fourth elder brother returned to the palace, the atmosphere in Zhengsan Institute is not right.

Most of the servants were kept in the dark, and they could only secretly guess that they were probably related to the masters in the backyard and Eunuch Su.

Because the second day after the fourth elder brother returned to the elder brother's office, Eunuch Su was sick, and the masters in the backyard did not go out for many days in a row.

Except for a new teacher, there is no vitality in Zhengsan Institute.

In the side hall of the atrium, Wu Quan was lying on the bed, his mind was in a mess.

I think back then, I caught the wind of Empress Defei and led my apprentice to Zhengsan Institute.I wanted to show off, but because of the dispute between the concubine De and the imperial concubine, I was tabooed by the fourth elder brother.Although he holds the post of manager, the power in his hand has been weakened repeatedly.

Later, the imperial concubine passed away, and the dispute between the two palaces among the servants of the three schools ceased, and the concubine de concubine no longer promoted them.Seeing that the fourth elder brother is about to reach the age of leaving the palace to build a mansion, with his own weight in front of the fourth elder brother, it may be difficult to follow the fourth elder brother out of the palace. If he is sent back to the respect room, his value will be degraded again and again.

For this reason, after making it to Fujin's entry into the mansion, Wu Quan retreated swiftly and swiftly.Fujin is a newcomer, so he must rely on him in many ways, and then he can use Fujin's light to follow the fourth elder brother out of the palace.

But what he didn't expect was that Fujin had an extremely rigid temperament, completely ignorant of how to win the favor of men, and wholeheartedly upholding Fujin's dignity, strictly adhering to the rigid rules, repeatedly challenging the patience of the fourth elder brother, and not seeing him at all. She didn't want to show her help to her, and in the end she simply and neatly emptied him.

I think he used to be the eunuch who served Empress Sejong, and even personally sent away Empress Dowager Cihe.Now that he is middle-aged, he can't even hold the right to a backyard, but he is suppressed by a bunch of junior eunuchs and can't hold his head up. He is not reconciled!

So, after Li Gege approached him, he agreed without hesitation.He has seen a lot of female relatives competing for favor.Li Gege is scheming and without foresight, and he is a master who is very suitable to be controlled, so he went to investigate.But he never expected that he would find out a eunuch.

For so many years, he has seen the relationship between the fourth elder brother and Su Peisheng.It's just that there has never been a reason to make him think about that.It may be because the fourth elder brother has always been strict in etiquette, or it may be because the fourth elder brother is too young.But now, a jade pendant with the name of the fourth elder brother printed on it is like a slamming hammer on the rushing dam, and all the previous moments poured out.

It can be said that when he found out about this matter and thought of the cause and effect behind it, he was shocked and terrified.After Li Gege's people came to interrogate him repeatedly, he only told the origin of the jade pendant, not his own inference.

Later, after the fourth elder brother returned to the palace, he also inquired about all kinds of things in the main hall of Fujin.He knew that Li Gege must have guessed about that, otherwise he wouldn't be charged for a jade pendant.

Afterwards, he thought of himself. For him, this news might be a knife around his neck, or it might be a ladder to the sky. The result depends on how he leaves.The battle between the elder brother and the crown prince was known to everyone in the palace. The fourth elder brother had reached his age, and sooner or later he had to choose a team.The weight in his hand can be said to be light or heavy, after all in the palace, a rumor may kill a group of people.

While Wu Quan was thinking carefully, the door was suddenly gently pushed open, Wu Quan raised his neck, and the person who came in was his apprentice, Cao Qing.

"What are you doing here?" Wu Quan asked in a low voice.

Cao Qing stood beside Wu Quan's bed, rubbing his hands in a panic, "Master, in the past two days, someone has always followed my apprentice."

Wu Quan was taken aback, "Following you?"

Cao Qing nodded, "It's okay in elder brother's office, as long as the apprentice goes out, someone will follow him. I watched carefully twice, it is the eunuch who works under Xiao Erge."

Wu Quan stared and looked out the window, his heart tightened suddenly, "Did Su Peisheng follow the fourth elder brother these two days?"

"No," Cao Qing shook his head, "Since returning from the northern tour, Eunuch Su has been complaining about illness, and he has almost never seen Si Elder Brother."

Wu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that I didn't see the fourth elder brother. Since he is Xiao Erge's person, it is likely that Su Peisheng ordered him. In the past few years, he has kept a low profile and never fought for power. The master really forgot for a while. It's up to him."

Cao Qing shrank her neck, "Then... what should we do? Brother Si will know about it sooner or later."

Wu Quan was silent for a moment, "Don't panic, we are just following Li Gege's order to investigate some trivial matters. If the fourth elder brother really wants to investigate, he must first ask Li Gege. As for the other joints, we pretend not to know. That's it, the fourth elder brother can't pull it out by himself. You can rest on duty normally, don't be nervous, let alone be afraid."

"Yes," Cao Qing bowed to Wu Quan.

Wu Quan nodded, "Okay, you can go back, and don't come to the master in the future, so as not to be suspicious."

Cao Qing bowed and retreated, Wu Quan sat on the bed, his eyes gradually darkened, it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.

Su Wei was sitting in his hut, holding a water radish and chewing on it, while a plate of juicy purple grapes was pushed aside by him far away.

Wang Chao, who came to deliver the grapes, looked at their Eunuch Su with flat eyes. Those grapes were a tribute, and the fourth elder brother only got such a basket. The masters in the yard had to cherish and eat them. .It was anecdotal news that this slave and master were angry, but now that the master has subdued, this master is still angry.

Su Wei felt uncomfortable being stared at by Wang Chaoqing. He frowned and raised his head to look at him and said, "If you want to eat, you can eat it. Why do you look at me? I'm a slave and I can't afford grapes!"

Wang Chao swallowed his saliva and forced a smile, "You can't afford it, and I can't afford it. I said, Eunuch Su——"

Just as Wang Chaoqing wanted to persuade Su Wei, the door was slammed open, and Zhang Qilin rushed in with a downcast expression, "It's not good, it's not good, Mr. Su, go and have a look!"

Su Weibian narrowed his eyes, "Don't try to lie to me, you have used this trick twice!"

"No," Zhang Qilin jumped around twice, "I guarantee it with my head, something serious happened!"

Wang Chaoqing blinked, Weiwei stood up and looked out the window, "Eunuch Su, look!"

Su Wei pouted and stretched his head to see that there were a bunch of slaves kneeling in the yard, "What's going on?" Su Wei's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Qilin suddenly poured a cup of tea, "Si elder brother, you were... punished to kneel!"

"What?" Su Wei stood up abruptly, "Who punished you? Your Majesty? Concubine De?"

"No," Zhang Qilin tugged at his collar anxiously, "It's the new master!"

The emperor's new teacher for the fourth elder brother, Zhang Qianyi, who was called an old pedant by the emperor.

Su Wei walked towards the main hall while listening to Zhang Qilin's nonsense.The fourth elder brother was attending class well, and Zhang Qilin, who was working outside, heard a roar from inside, saying that the fourth elder brother was not attentive, and he was ashamed of his sage master.If you are a prince, you should take the world as your own responsibility, if you don't set up ambitions, you will be depraved, and you will be a playboy in the future, and you will be reviled for thousands of years.

What Su Wei heard was sweating profusely. Who does this person think he is?Even Mingxiang, Suoxiang, Tong Guowei and Tong Guowei would not dare to say that about the fourth elder brother.

But when Su Wei walked to the front of the main hall, the scene in front of him was beyond the relief of sweating profusely.

I saw the fourth elder brother kneeling in the main hall with his back straight, and eight haha ​​beads kneeling behind him.The serving servants knelt on the porch, and the eunuchs sweeping the yard threw away their brooms and knelt on the spot.Those who didn't know this thought that the emperor was in heaven.

Su Wei straightened up, walked towards the fourth elder brother, passed by the door of Xisanjian, and even looked inside, but it was okay not to look, but he almost hit the wall when he looked.The legendary master was sitting behind the table reading a book at this time. Judging by his posture, he must have been immersed in the ocean of books and could not extricate himself, completely forgetting the fourth elder brother who was punished to kneel.

Su Wei walked slowly behind the fourth elder brother, still very conflicted in his heart, the two of them were still arguing, and the fourth elder brother didn't show any sincerity except to bring him some food.Now that I take the initiative to talk to others, it doesn't mean I have admitted defeat.

Su Wei frowned, lowered his head, and saw at a glance that the fourth elder brother didn't even have a cushion under his knees, and he just knelt on the ground with bare legs.I don't know how the gang of slaves in the room do things, they don't have any vision.Seeing that the fourth elder brother is going to kneel, get me a thicker cushion.Thinking of this, Su Wei gave Cao Qing a vicious look. Cao Qing shrank his neck and lowered his head.

Su Wei pouted, bent down and said, "Master, you have been kneeling for a while. Why don't you ask Master to see if you can get up?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head slowly, and said softly, "Master is right, let me kneel, so my mind will be clear."

Su Wei straightened up, scratched his head, turned his head and gave Zhang Qilin a wink, and knelt behind the fourth elder brother himself.

Zhang Qilin understood Su Peisheng's eyes, and bowed into Xili's room.

I don't know how Zhang Qilin persuaded him, Su Wei estimated the time, almost a quarter of an hour has passed, and the person hasn't come out yet.The emperor's son was punished to kneel by a courtier, and he was not a very famous courtier. If this was passed on to the previous court, it would be no wonder that the emperor would be mad with anger.

Su Wei bit his lip, and couldn't wait any longer. It's not good for anyone to make a fuss, so he moved forward, "Master, my slave's leg hurts. If you don't get up, we can't get up. Do you think Mr. Zhang You are right, other people may not necessarily think so, and if you turn around and let the emperor know, you must chop off Master Zhang's head."

The fourth elder brother turned his head slightly to glance at Su Wei, sighed, and stood up slowly with his knees propped up.

Seeing the fourth elder brother stand up, the kneeling servants all heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Wei jumped up first, and went to the Xili room, but when he went in, he was startled, Zhang Qilin was kicking the table to grab the book of Mr. Zhang.

Into the night

Wu Quan was shrinking his body and walking into the house in the dark, when suddenly two young eunuchs covered his mouth and dragged him to the well in the backyard.

A man in a cloak stood there, glanced at Wu Quan, turned his head and said to the two people behind him, "Do it!"

"Wait!" Wu Quan struggled and shouted, "If something happens to me today, don't even think about it! I have already told outsiders about the fourth elder brother. If I'm not here tomorrow, the news will be lost." It will spread throughout the palace!"

The man in the cloak visibly froze, Wu Quan laughed, "Do you really think that I can't spread the news if I haven't been out of Zhengsan Institute? It's a pity, you are one step too late!"

"Really?" Someone answered coldly in the darkness, everyone turned their heads, and behind a dim yellow lantern stood a man in a purple python robe.

The man in the cloak froze, stretched out his hand to lift the hood, and saluted the visitor, "Servant Shi Yao pays respects to fourth elder brother."

The fourth elder brother took two steps forward, next to Zhang Qilin holding a lantern, followed by Ku Kui and Zhang Bao, "Get up, go back and tell Fujin, the Lord will solve this matter."

"Yes," Shi Yao leaned over, waved her hand and took her people away, and before leaving, she handed a small porcelain bottle to the fourth elder brother, "Si elder brother, this is the medicine to make madness."

The fourth elder brother took the porcelain vase, "Got it, let's go." Shi Yao bowed and stepped back, but the fourth elder brother turned around and threw the porcelain vase into the well.

Wu Quan collapsed on the ground, trembling, kowtowed to the fourth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother bent down to look at him, "You are smart, but it's a pity that you have too much heart."

Before Wu Quan could open his mouth, he saw the little eunuch and apprentice Cao Qing whom he had just sent to deliver the letter being pushed over.

"Fourth elder brother, spare your life! Fourth elder brother, spare your life!" Wu Quan suddenly reacted, and rushed over to grab the hem of the fourth elder brother's robe, but was dragged away by Zhang Bao's collar.

"Master?" Su Wei was dragged by Chai Yu and Wang Qin to the well in the backyard, and saw a group of people standing by the dark well.

Wu Quan heard Su Wei's voice, and suddenly struggled desperately, "Grandpa Su, Gonggong Su! Help me, save me!"

Zhang Bao didn't hold Wu Quan down for a while, and let Wu Quan rush out, hugging Su Wei's thigh suddenly.

Su Wei was stunned for a moment, looking at Wu Quan who was in a panic and trembling all over without understanding.

The fourth elder brother stood by the lantern, his face was pale under the dim yellow fire, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhang Bao, Ku Kui, let's do it!"

Su Wei stared blankly at Wu Quan being dragged away by Zhang Bao. Ku Kui held two square black cloths in his hand and covered Wu Quan's mouth and nose. The eunuch and Cao Qing were so frightened that they peed on their pants and couldn't even shout.

"Master!" Su Wei, who reacted suddenly, stepped forward and grabbed the cuff of the fourth elder brother, kneeling on the ground.The fourth elder brother looked down at Su Wei's pale cheeks, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, holding him firmly in front of his chest, forcing Su Wei to watch the scene of Wu Quan being suffocated to death, and said in a cold voice, "Su Wei, this is fate, This is the path we must walk!"
