The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Yang Jian was drinking tea in the mansion outside the palace, and the concubines were waiting for him, shaking fans, talking and laughing with him to make him happy.

When the servants came to report that Eunuch Li had arrived, he ordered all these concubines to go down, deliberately telling them to avoid Li Yan.

These beautiful concubines are his private property, and no one else can look at them casually, even if the other party is also an eunuch.

Li Yan brought a piece of news, "Gao Ming and Murong Yanze are doing a lot of construction on Yanyue Street recently, and I don't know what they are doing."

"Ask a bricklayer, don't you know what they are doing?"

"I asked, but those masons didn't know. It is said that the craftsmen have changed several batches, each of which only undertakes part of the construction task. The blind man feels the elephant, and he doesn't know what he is building."

Yang Jian's heart was going up and down, he was afraid of that bastard Gao Ming, and he didn't know why, but he always felt that Gao Ming deliberately took a route with him in order to run him off.

He also couldn't figure out how to offend Gao Ming.

Li Yan persuaded: "The way he presented the White Deer last time, I always feel that there is something in his head, why don't you give him some expensive gifts someday, and treat him to a drink, forget about the relationship, let's talk to him Don't compete with the son of the Taiwei."

"It was he who competed with me. No one else said anything about the conversion of tidal flats into plowing fields. It is said that he even gave all the news in the newspaper to King Yun. Although King Yun didn't make things difficult for me further, I don't think that if he is sensible , he should suppress it, and there is no need for the county king to know. He is now the Imperial City Secretary, and if he is not complete, he will not give it to King Yun next time, but directly to the official family."

Li Yan comforted: "The officials trust you so much, they won't do anything just because of such a trivial matter."

Yang Jian closed his eyes and sighed. In the past, he would just say a few words and get away with it, but now it is different. It is obvious that the officials trust Gao Ming more.

He was like holding sand, watching the things in his hands go away little by little, but he was powerless.

Yang Jian felt that the building under construction on Yanyue Street must have something tricky inside, and it might be a new thing that could please the officials.

He really wanted to destroy it, but after contemplating it for a while, he realized how difficult it was to successfully destroy the house that the Taiwei's son was building outside the palace.

If it is a base for ordinary people, just call some rogues to smash it up, destroy the things under construction, and then report to Kaifeng Mansion, say hello, and delay arresting people, no matter how good the business is Can you mix it up?

But Gao Ming was different, there were not many other things in the Taiwei's mansion, except that there were many imperial guards with big arms and round waists, and they randomly pulled out hundreds of them without blinking their eyes.

Before the smashing was successful, the bones had to be broken by the people of Taiwei's Mansion.

It's hard.

Yang Jian asked Li Yan again, "I really don't know what's wrong with the house under construction? No clue at all?"

Li Yan shook his head, "If there is, I will tell you, Eunuch. I also want to know what is going on inside."

Yang Jian hesitated, "Then don't make insinuations, let's go and see for ourselves. I don't believe that Gao Ming can stop us from seeing it."

Gao Ming has to bow down to him even if he fights face-to-face.

Li Yan was startled, "Just come to the door like this?"

"Yes, I don't believe that he can stop it, see what's in there, come back to study and study, and make one like him." Yang Jian smiled, "Let's go now."

Li Yandao: "The house is indeed more than half finished. If he can go inside, he should be able to know what's inside. He can't hide it."

Yang Jian became more confident, so he asked someone to prepare a car and head straight to Yanyue Street.

Yang Jian led his entourage, and when he arrived at the half-construction house on Yanyue Street, he was about to walk in.

The foreman saw that someone was about to break in, so of course he didn't allow it, "Hey, who are you? You are not allowed to enter here!"

"Who are we?" One of the attendants roared arrogantly: "This is Eunuch Yang and Eunuch Li, open your eyes and see clearly. Why, can't you even come in to see a small house on this street? "

Yang Jian waved his hands pretendingly, and said to the foreman, "I pass by occasionally, and I saw that the house was well built, so I want to come in and have a look, can't I?"

Yang Jian is a hot figure, but the owner of this house is not an unknown person, "The owners of this yard are Gao Yanei and Mr. Murong."

"I know it's them, then you can send someone to ask them, just say that Yang Jian is here and wants to go in and have a look, they won't be so stingy to refuse."

The foreman learned that the other party was the eunuch Yang Jian, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite the master over.

Yang Jian was not something a small craftsman like him could handle, so he had to come forward from Gao Yanei of the same level.

Gao Ming was playing chess with Hua Rong at home, he was in high spirits at first, when he heard that Yang Jian was about to break into the building on Yanyue Street, he immediately knew what the other party was going to do, his face darkened, "Damn eunuch."

Hua Rong was also not happy, it was rare that Murong Yanze didn't come over on Xiu Muri, he and Gao Ming were the only two, originally planned to enjoy the quiet moment of the two of them, and didn't want to be spoiled by Yang Jian's appearance.

But seeing Gao Ming's angry look, he knew that the game would not work, "Go and have a look first, it's the same when you come back to play again. It's left intact."

"Okay." Gao Ming put the chess piece back into the chess box, ordered someone to prepare the cart, and went to Yanyue Street with Hua Rong.

When Gao Ming arrived, Yang Jian and Li Yan had already entered the courtyard. If the foreman hadn't locked all the entrances and exits quickly and lied that he didn't have the key, he would have entered.

Gao Ming smacked his lips, "Eunuch Yang, Eunuch Li, the sun is right here, you are not in a cool place to enjoy the coolness, why do you want to come and see my little place full of smoke and dust?"

It's not good to stay where it's cool, so you come to me to find trouble.

Yang Jian smiled and said: "Just passing by, I want to come in and have a sit, I think your house is almost half built, although it looks ordinary from the outside, but there must be a universe inside, I want to go in and have a look, you don't mind, right? Coincidentally, I also want to find a piece of land to build a house like yours, and I want to learn from it."

Gao Ming admired Yang Jian a little, he didn't hide anything, he was so straightforward.

Li Yan chimed in and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yang presented the white tiger last time, and he displayed it in an upright manner without any reservations. Why are you so stingy in the yamen? If it is really a good thing, everyone should work together to carry it forward. The cost is short of silver. We They won't be stingy."

Yang Jian even said: "Master Gao, everyone knows that you are clever in every possible way. You just build houses on Yanyue Street so brightly. Not only me, but others are also curious and hot-eyed. If I don't look at it, others must look at it." .”

He is not the only one who is curious and curious, he can stop the first day of junior high school, but not the fifteenth day, so it is better to expose it now, so as not to worry about it.

Gao Ming knew that there would be a day when he was a celebrity now, his every move was watched by people, he was building a lot, and he didn't tell the outside what he was building, so someone must be curious.

He expected it, so he was prepared.

"The things in this are bad tastes between myself and a few friends, I'm afraid my father-in-law won't be able to bear it."

On the contrary, Yang Jian became interested, "As long as you are willing to show up, I will be able to bear it."

"I still advise you not to go in, it's really not suitable for you."

Yang Jian said with a chuckle, "I'm even more curious when the yamen said that. If I don't satisfy my curiosity today, I really can't leave."

"Okay then, don't blame me for not reminding you, everyone heard it, right?"

Yang Jian said boldly, "I can hear it more clearly myself, don't waste time, hurry up and let me go in and feast your eyes."

"Okay, then we have to make preparations first." Gao Ming ordered his followers, "Go to Murong Mansion and tell him that Eunuch Yang and Eunuch Li are going to enter the house on Yanyue Street, and tell him to bring the people from Room [-]. " Then he said to Yang Jian and Li Yan: "We have to wait for Murong Yanze to come over, you won't be in a hurry, will you?"

Both Yang Jian and Li Yan felt that Gao Ming was using this as an excuse to delay the time and tell them to retreat.

Can such an obvious trap be caught?Of course not!

"It's okay, we can wait."

Gao Ming said indifferently: "Then just wait." Then he ignored the two of them, just chatting and laughing with Hua Rong.

Hua Rong didn't know what Gao Ming and Murong Yanze were doing here, and thought that he would be able to see what was inside in a while, so he couldn't help being a little curious, "I didn't expect that I would be able to go in and find out because of their favor. "

Gao Ming was hesitant to remind Hua Rong, but when he thought about it, he would not even blink an eye when killing people, "Let's explore it later, I promise I won't let you down."

The people in Murong Mansion were very efficient, and they all came after a while, but Murong Yanze was nowhere to be seen.

One of the servants of Murong's family said: "Our father-in-law is sick, so he won't be here today. I hope the two father-in-laws don't blame us."

Yang Jian and Li Yan urged: "It doesn't matter, can you go in?"

Gao Ming said to the servants from Murong's house: "Go ahead and prepare, we will go in in a while."

These people nodded in agreement, and walked into the half-finished house through a back door, and one of them showed a bright smile at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian thought to himself that it still needs the cooperation of personnel, and it is very likely that there is a theater inside, specializing in singing and performing.

I heard that when Gao Ming was in Mengzhou, he urged the merchants of Happy Forest to put on "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", and there were various local adaptations, which really attracted attention.

Did he re-adapt the play?

Those who went in just now were probably theatrical troupe raised by Murong's family.

After a while, I will take a closer look at what plays he plays, if it is easy, I will still pick one up.

About a quarter of an hour later, Gao Ming waved to them, "Let's go, you can go in. Don't take your followers with you, and I won't take them either."

Yang Jian thought about it, agreed, and asked his entourage to stay outside, and he, Li Yan, Gao Ming, and Hua Rong walked inside.

He led them into the house through a door at the back.

The small door is on the side, and it's not easy to find if you don't look carefully. After entering, there is a narrow aisle, which is completely dark. Gao Ming held a lantern and walked in front, "Be careful where you step."

Hua Rong was afraid that Gao Ming's hand would be sore with the lantern, so he took it over, "I'll do it."

Gao Ming smiled and said, "That's fine, you are taller, so the light will be brighter."

Yang Jian squinted his eyes and looked around, "It's too dark and too narrow, why don't you open the window?"

Gao Ming said coldly: "I told you that this is a bad joke between me and my friends."

Hua Rong also wondered, what is there?Could it be some rare and exotic beast that needs to be kept in the dark.

In the long corridor, there were many twists and turns, and after walking for a while, no one else was seen, only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Yang Jian said a little uneasy: "Unexpectedly, there is quite a lot of space inside. This yard has cost a lot of money, right?"

Gao Ming said quietly: "Actually, there are not many, because in this yard, it is said that a woman who was abandoned by a merciless benefactor hanged herself here before, and she was not very clean after that, so as soon as I came to buy it, the shopkeeper immediately sold it. gone."

This is all made up by him, there is no such thing.

Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat, "Then we shouldn't light more candles, and we should open more windows to let in more Yang Qi!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind came and blew out the lantern in Huarong's hand.

Hua Rong instinctively protected him by his side, but the next moment, Gao Ming dragged him forward a few steps, pushed open a secret door on the wall, and hid in.

"what happened?"

Gao Ming shrugged, "Haunted house game."

He expected that someone would come to inquire about the news during the construction process, so he built a haunted house in a corner of the building to scare away those who planned to find out. Even if he didn't want to scare people in the future, there are many secret doors here that can also be used as secret rooms for escape. .

Didn't Yang Jian want to come in to play, just tell him to have fun.

Just when Hua Rong was still thinking about these four words, Yang Jian screamed outside: "Ah—who? Who?"

Yang Jian grabbed Li Yan, "Did you blow into my ear just now?"

Who knew that Li Yan's voice sounded behind him, "I didn't, it wasn't me."

Yang Jian's hairs stood on end all of a sudden. If Li Yan was behind him, who was he grabbing?

With a yell, he hurriedly pushed the person he was holding out, and shouted, "Gao Ming——Gao Ming—where are you?"

At this time, I heard Li Yan ouch, "What tripped me up?"

Then he kicked something gruntingly, and kicked it straight to Yang Jian. Yang Jian said, "Is it the lantern that Hua Rong lost just now?" So he leaned over to touch it.

It didn't matter what he touched, but he touched a pile of hair, and he waved his hand away in fright, as far as he could.

He shouted, "Gao Ming——Hua Rong—where are you?"

From far away, it seemed that Gao Ming's voice was responding, "Eunuch Yang, where are you?"

Yang Jian touched the wall and moved slowly towards the place where Gao Ming's voice was. He said to Li Yan, "Let's walk along the wall."

Li Yan agreed, "Well, just do as you say."

Yang Jian stretched out his hand and groped forward.

But suddenly, he bumped into something cold, and his eyes had already adapted to the darkness to some extent, coupled with the close distance, when he looked carefully, he saw a lonely pale hand protruding from the wall, and This is what he came across.

"Ah!!" He flicked his hand away as if bitten by a snake, and fell to the ground, his back drenched in cold sweat.

Haunted, haunted.

Li Yan was so frightened by Yang Jian's scream that he almost cried, "Where can I get out? Where is the exit?"

The walls are all made of stone, and the sound insulation is excellent. He yelled for so long, but the guards outside didn't come in, so he knew they couldn't hear them, and the people outside couldn't count on him. He had to save himself.

Yang Jian huddled in place, calling Gao Ming's name vigorously, but Gao Ming didn't come, and suddenly heard a woman's shrill laughter coming from in front of her, the laughter made one's bones shudder.

Suddenly at this moment, something suddenly pulled down his trousers and dragged him back.

Yang Jian grabbed the ground with both hands, only regretting that he didn't have many hands, "Li Yan, help me!"

Li Yan couldn't take care of himself, how could he save Yang Jian, he didn't dare to move now, because he felt that there was someone behind him, but he didn't dare to look back, for fear of seeing what was really there.

Yang Jian kicked his legs vigorously, and finally let go of the hand that was holding him. He was panting out of his mind, and dared not say a word.

Li Yan suddenly saw a bright light in front of him, and was even excited, but the next moment, he wanted to cover his eyes, because the person walking in front with a lantern was a headless woman, with nothing above her neck.

Holding the lantern, she walked towards them step by step, and said quietly: "Where's the head of the slave family? Did the two officials see it?"

Li Yan: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Yang Jian: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

I wanted to escape, but my heart was already in my throat, and I was about to vomit, my legs were weak and my feet were numb, I couldn't stand up at all, and I was afraid that I wouldn't even crawl far.

Yang Jian closed his eyes in fear, and screamed until his voice became hoarse, not seeing that he was dead, then opened his eyes tremblingly, and the headless woman had disappeared.

There is only one lantern left on the ground.

Li Yan thought for a while, and then he took the lantern in his hand, so that it could light up at least.

When Yang Jian saw it, he said in horror: "Don't take this lamp, what if the female ghost is attached to it?"

When Li Yan heard it, he also felt that the lamp burned his hands, but he didn't dare to treat it roughly, and carefully put it back into the distance.

Leaving a lantern standing where it was, horrible though it was, brought light anyway.

Suddenly, a white and black-haired figure suddenly fell from the beam in front of him. Yang Jian was so frightened that he couldn't scream, but in an instant, the figure disappeared again.

He covered his eyes, not daring to look in the direction where she disappeared, for fear of seeing something more terrifying.

Suddenly, Yang Jian felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then black hair appeared on his shoulders.

And Li Yan looked at him, pointed behind him tremblingly, opened his mouth, too shocked to utter a word.

Yang Jian was about to cry. He wanted to run away, but his feet wouldn't work.

At this moment, a figure in white clothes suddenly stood upside down from above his head, appeared in front of him suddenly, and yelled, "Wow——"

Yang Jian only felt that his mind was empty.

The figure took off the wig at this time, smiled and said: "Eunuch Yang, it's me, Murong Yanze." Then he said to the people above: "Put me down slowly."

He didn't untie the rope tied around his body until his feet touched the ground.

Hanging it upside down from above, this operation can be called a big hand, I don't know if it scares Yang Jian.

Murong Yanze smiled at Yang Jian: "Elder-in-law, I didn't expect it to be me?"

But Yang Jian just leaned against the wall and didn't answer Murong Yanze's words.

At this moment, a hidden door opened, and Gao Ming and Hua Rong came out.

Hua Rong stepped forward to look at Yang Jian, and said, "He has passed out." Then he looked at Li Yan, "He is too."

Murong Yanze grinned, "Did you overplay it?"

Gao Ming said: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come? Why did you suddenly hang upside down to frighten people? Without your fatal blow, they wouldn't be able to faint. Now it's fine, both of them fainted from fright."

"Talk about me, the headless female ghost before is also scary, okay?"

"But one thing to say, no matter how scary it was, they didn't faint. That blow you just had was definitely a fatal blow." Gao Ming pulled Hua Rong to help him out, "Don't you think so?"

Of course Hua Rong was on Gao Ming's side, "Of course it is."

Murong Yanze pointed at the two of them, "Tch, Hua Rong is with you, so it doesn't count to have him as a witness."

At this time, the people in charge of acting as the scary ghost came out from the secret door, and looked at this side worriedly.

The headless female ghost even took off the props. In fact, it was just a fake headless upper body prop on the real shoulders.

"It's none of your business." Murong Yanze waved his hand, then looked at Yang Jian and Li Yan who had passed out, "...Forget it, let alone whose responsibility it is, they have fainted, what should we do now ?”

"When they wake up, they will definitely not let them go." Gao Ming said, "Eunuch Yang is an old man, so he must scold us for disrespecting the old and loving the young."

At this moment, Hua Rong asked in disbelief, "You guys built a haunted house in such a hurry?"

"That's just part of it."

Murong Yanze said: "I think this part is the essence. To be honest, I'm not interested in the rest. I originally planned to let the colleagues from the Ministry of Rites come in the first batch, but I didn't expect Eunuch Yang to grab the fresh ones."

He couldn't wait to see the scene where those stubborn and smug old men in the Ministry of Rites were screaming in fright.

Hua Rong looked at Yang Jian and Li Yan who were unconscious, "Don't talk about the future, this Eunuch Yang and Eunuch Li have been stunned by you. If you don't solve it, your building will be sealed up. Think of a way."

Gao Ming sighed, "What else can I do, this is the only way I can do it."

-

"Officials, we really didn't mean to scare Eunuch Yang. He said he wanted to come in and play with us. We have reminded him many times before." Murong Yanze bowed his waist and said to Zhao Ji with a terrified expression.

Gao Ming also pretended to be trembling, "Everyone here has heard it, I've said it all, this is the place where I play with my friends, there may be some things he can't accept, but he still wants to go in. As a result... "

Frightened Yang Jian into a faint, what else can he do?Of course, while Yang Jian was still awake, he entered the palace immediately to find the official to "confess".

Whoever seizes the opportunity is right.

Zhao Ji was drawing pictures on the table, and said lightly: "I still think it's something, it turned out to be this, I know, you don't have to worry, I sent the imperial doctor to show him." After finishing speaking, Gao Ming and Murong Yanze looked at him pitifully, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "I told you not to worry, it's not a big deal, okay, let's go back."

Gao Ming and Murong Yanze thanked the officials and withdrew.

When they came outside the main hall, they both looked at each other proudly, Gao Ming even shrugged slightly, with the support of the officials, there was nothing to be afraid of.

As soon as they left, Yang Jian begged to see the official on the back.

Zhao Ji smiled, "It doesn't seem to be a serious problem, let him in."

As soon as Yang Jian came in, he burst into tears and said: "The official, someone is going to murder the old slave, and the old slave is so dangerous that he can't come to see the official alive, the official wants to be the master of the old slave—"

How can we arouse the sympathy of officials without making the situation serious.

Besides, his body and mind were really traumatized, and the injury was absolutely real.

Unexpectedly, after crying and howling, Zhao Ji just sketched the lines and said: "I know it all, and you too. When you are older, don't mess around with young people."

Getting older……

old age……

big...

Big……

Yang Jian didn't expect to get such an evaluation from the official, "The official, they are really too bad, they scared the old slave and Li Yan into fainting."

Zhao Ji said: "You also frightened them very much. Seeing that you were dizzy, you hurried into the palace to admit your mistake. They didn't do it on purpose, that's all right, don't be reluctant, go down, and call the imperial doctor to show you .”

When it was all said and done, Yang Jian could only back out with tears in his eyes.

After he left, Liang Shicheng who was beside Zhao Ji said unhurriedly, "Fortunately, the officials made decisions for Gao Ming and Murong Yanze, otherwise, I don't know how I would be entangled by Yang Jian."

Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng, who quickly lowered his head.

But Zhao Ji couldn't help thinking, Gao Ming and Murong Yanze are so afraid of Yang Jian, let alone other people.

And he did see that Yang Jian came in to "murder" and "can't come back alive". He made the matter serious, and he clearly didn't want to let it go.

He shook his head secretly.

Yang Jian didn't get any benefits from the official's house, so he walked to the imperial garden under his jurisdiction depressedly, and suddenly saw the jagged strange rock in front of him, which looked like a person, his heart tightened in fright, and he subconsciously detoured.

But he didn't want to, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder from behind, which made him scream out of fright, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Shouts resounded through the court.

The patrolling Imperial City Commander Han rushed over, and saw the privy envoy Tong Guan put a hand on Eunuch Yang's shoulder, and Eunuch Yang screamed like he was struck by lightning.

On the contrary, Tong Guan was terrified, "Lao, Lao Yang, you can't be so scared, right?"

Yang Jian looked back and saw that it was Tong Guan, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Yu, it's you! Can you stop being surprised?"

"You're the one who was surprised!" Tong Guan felt wronged.

Yang Jian wanted to defend himself, if you were so frightened by Gao Ming, you might have been frightened to death, I've already counted the surprise.But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt extremely tired and had no more energy left. He glanced at Tong Guan in despair, and then left with a gloomy back.

That night, he had a nightmare all night.

The next day, I felt years older.

He walked in the palace with dark circles under his eyes, and ran into Li Yan head-on, and the two troubled brothers hurriedly gathered together to scold Gao Ming and Murong Yanze.

"Little bastard, you really angered me this time. If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman!" But after thinking about it, I am not a gentleman in the first place, so I changed my words, "If you don't take revenge, I'm a bastard!"

"It's so hateful!" Yang Jian also scolded, "Why didn't those people in Liangshan come to take his dog's life! This hatred is endless, and it must be avenged!"

At this time, suddenly his eyes were covered from behind.

The psychological shadow erupted immediately, and Yang Jian screamed in shock: "Ahhhhh——"

The guards of the imperial city who were in charge of the patrol ran over again, and this time they saw Gao Ming, the commander of the imperial city, blindfolded Yang Jian, and said with a bright smile, "Guess who I am?"

Yang Jian held both hands in the air, dancing non-stop, as if insane, "You let me go! Ah——"

Gao Ming refused to let go, but still smiled and said, "Guess, I can only let you go if you guess right!"

Li Yan was so anxious that he twisted the corner of his clothes, and said sadly: "Master Gao, please, please stop!"

Stop mutilating Eunuch Yang——
