From eunuch to emperor

rumbling...

At night, a humid southeast wind blew, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Li's wine shop, the old groom slowly walked into Gan Xin's room with an oil lamp in his hand.

After closing the door, the old groom put the oil lamp aside and said, "Master, you are dead."

Gan Xin nodded slightly, and said: "There are many people with mixed hands, Yangcheng is in chaos, and it is easiest to kill people."

"Okay, send a message back to the Jade Buddha Tower tomorrow, and the task will be considered complete."

The old groom nodded and said, "Of order."

The old groom went out again with the oil lamp in his hand, looked up at the cloudy sky, and hurried back to his room to sleep.

...

In the Yangcheng mansion, Lu Qichang slept very peacefully listening to the rumbling thunder.

When he got up the next morning, Lu Qichang stepped on the muddy street, climbed up the city wall, looked at the filled moat, and exclaimed in his heart: This Zhao Lun is so smart, it actually rained heavily.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qichang felt a little rejoiced that Zhao Lun had died.

Otherwise, if Zhao Lun becomes a captain, his military power will definitely be taken away.

"Heaven is jealous of Yingcai!"

Lu Qichang deliberately shook his head and sighed, then entered the prefect's mansion.

When they arrived at Houya, Shi Le had just woken up.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Lun died last night."

Lu Qichang looked sad, as if his own father had died.

Shi Le was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Dead? How did he die?"

Lu Qichang truthfully reported: "Last night when I was patrolling outside the city, I was stung by a poisonous scorpion and died from the poison. The doctor saw it and said there was no cure."

Shi Le looked at Lu Qichang in shock, and muttered to himself, "Poisonous scorpion?"

The area around Yangcheng is dry, poisonous scorpions are very common, and many people died of poisonous stings.

But Zhao Lun's death always made Shi Le feel very strange.

"Stung by a poisonous scorpion? Wasn't he assassinated?"

"That Long Cheng'en has a close relationship with Wanjinlou, could it be that Wanjinlou did it?"

Although Shen Wanjin did not publicly admit his identity, everyone could guess that he was Shen Wanjin.

I also know that Long Chen is working with Wan Jinlou.

However, no one can do anything, so what if we cooperate?Who can do anything to Long Chen?

Lu Qichang shook his head and said, "The doctor has seen it, and he was stung by a poisonous scorpion."

Shi Le said helplessly: "Forget it, you're all dead, what happened to the second girl?"

Shi Le asked the second princess Shi Jingxiang to form a women's army. After some time, there was no news from Xingqing City, so Shi Le asked again.

Lu Qichang said: "It should be soon, I will send someone to urge you."

Shi Le nodded, and said: "You go, Zhao Lun is dead, you should pay more attention to the defense of Yangcheng."

Lu Qichang paid homage: "This humble minister leads the decree."

Lu Qichang withdrew from Houya, and Shi Le continued to practice.

Back at the mansion, Lu Qichang immediately repaired a letter and sent it back to the Privy Council of Xingqing City.

When the messenger arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the old groom who was buying wine again.

The old groom drove the carriage and went east as usual, passed the Zhenguo Temple, arrived at the Jade Buddha Pass, and finally stopped at the Jade Buddha Tower.

Seeing the old horseman coming, the man smiled and said, "Old horse, it's a bit early today."

The old horseman smiled and said, "Hurry up sooner rather than later, it rained last night, and I'm worried that the road will be difficult."

The guy smiled and said, "That's the old rule, you pay the bill and I'll load the car for you."

The old groom immediately entered Zhang Fang with the money, and Li Sanniang was waiting for him.

"Zhao Lun is dead, the mission is complete."

The old groom spoke concisely and handed the money to Li Sanniang.

Li Sanniang took the money and said, "Got it."

After opening the order, the old groom loaded the car and left as usual.

The carriage came out from the backyard, followed by a carriage with a coffin on it, and two men drove the carriage eastward.

The old groom glanced at the coffin, waved the whip in his hand, and drove the carriage west.

This coffin was naturally arranged by Yan Shuangyu to send Meng Lan's body back to the capital.

The carriage left slowly, Yan Shuangyu stood on the second floor and watched the carriage leave.

"Hope everything works out."

Yan Shuangyu sighed slightly.

What happened to Meng Lan, although it has nothing to do with Yan Shuangyu, it is normal for her to die in an accident when she goes out to do business, so she can't blame others.

However, Yan Shuangyu always felt uncomfortable.

If it is said that Long Chen deliberately made Meng Lan disappear, it means that Long Chen and Meng Lan are having an affair.

Yan Shuangyu felt that there was sand in her eyes, and she was very upset.

Just when I and Long Chen hooked up, someone stepped in, and I felt like a third party, this feeling was very disgusting.

The carriage walked east slowly out of the east gate, and the two men continued to walk east.

The old groom drove the carriage to the vicinity of Zhenguo Temple.

Fuhui was riding a horse, holding a long whip in her hand, and aggressively yelled at the farming monks: "Be quick, spring rain is as expensive as oil. It rained last night, so I must work harder today."

"When the crops are ready, everyone can keep some. King Wu is good to us, so we can't be lazy."

The old groom looked at Fu Hui's airy look, and secretly cursed at Fu Hui.

The old horseman continued to walk west and passed Zhenguo Temple.

On the city wall, Long Chen watched the old groom disappear into the sky.

He Juntao said: "My lord, this person should belong to Gan Xin."

Long Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Follow this groom to find out where Gan Xin is."

Long Chen wanted to dig out the shadows that Shen Wanjin had ambushed one by one.

A while ago, seeing that Wanjinlou was not threatening, the relationship between Shen Wanjin and Long Chen was quite harmonious, and Long Chen had no intention of getting rid of them.

But what happened to Menglan this time made Long Chen reconsider the matter of eradicating Wanjinlou.

After giving so many benefits, but still insisting on the matter of Xiu Niang, Shen Wanjin must die!

"As ordered."

He Juntao went to make arrangements immediately.

...

The words are divided into two parts.

When the old groom was driving the carriage back to Yangcheng, the two men from the Jade Buddha House were driving the carriage, pulling the coffin back east to the capital.

It rained heavily last night, and the road was muddy and difficult to walk. The two of them drove the carriage swayingly. The scorching sun above evaporated the muddy water on the ground, making people feel hot and stuffy.

"How come such an errand, bad luck!"

The guy on the left glanced back at the coffin and spit on the wooden board.

The guy on the right persuaded: "The dead are the greatest, so keep some morals."

The guy on the left snorted coldly: "You shit, you forgot what we do? We will definitely go to hell after we die, and you still want to go to the West Paradise? If you don't make it to the capital, go to Master Moji to pay your respects." ?”

The guy on the right didn't respond, he knew the other party was talking badly.

The guy on the left was swearing, the carriage moved forward slowly, and when they encountered pedestrians and business travelers on the road, they all avoided it.

The most taboo to encounter unclean things when going out, no one is willing to get close to them.

"Let me just say, it's bad luck for anyone to see us."

The guy on the left spat again.

The guy on the right said helplessly: "Er Gouzi, please don't say a few words."

The guy on the left was immediately displeased when he heard the other party calling him by his nickname, and replied: "Donkey, I'll tell you what I mean, it's none of your business."

The donkey egg guy was upset, but he didn't want to continue talking. There were only two people on the way.

Seeing that the sun was setting, the donkey guy said: "Find a place to rest, the horse is also tired."

Er Gouzi sneered and said, "Take the coffin and live in the store, do you really want the store owner to get promoted and get rich?"

Donkey Dan said unhappily: "Then you want to sleep in the wilderness? You sleep with the coffin?"

Er Gouzi patted the coffin on the carriage, laughed and said: "I heard that Meng Lan is a beautiful woman, what a pity, it's a pity that her head is broken, otherwise..."

Donkey Dan said disgustedly: "Do you miss the dead too? Is it disgusting?"

Er Gouzi sneered, "Have you never slept with a dead person?"

During the training of these assassins, in order to overcome the fear in their hearts, they were asked to find a new grave that had just been buried, dig up the seal, and sleep with the dead in the coffin for three days.

A reed tube will be left on the coffin for ventilation, and the assassin will not suffocate in it.

Donkey Dan ignored Er Gouzi and continued to drive the carriage forward.

Er Gouzi was still babbling: "We are not humans, we are animals..."

Suddenly, a group of people appeared in front of them.

These people are all women. The women are wearing white dresses with cloud patterns embroidered on them and veils on their faces.

The two women in the front are carrying two incense burners, the woman behind is holding a long sword, and a sedan chair is in the middle.

When the night fell, a group of women in white clothes appeared, and the donkey egg suddenly felt creepy.

"A ghost kiss?"

Er Gouzi was also frightened, and the whip in his hand whipped on the horse's buttocks in a strange way.

He ran two steps forward in a hurry, and quickly approached the team in front of him.

When I got closer, I saw that the sedan chair in the middle was made of golden nanmu, surrounded by golden veils, and there seemed to be a woman sitting inside.

Seeing this woman, Er Gouzi and Donkey Dan knew that she was not a ghost, but the identity was obviously not simple.

The two couldn't help speeding up, and the carriage moved forward quickly, wanting to pass there earlier.
