Chapter 41
Chapter 41
The old eunuch cried and asked why the Lin family was gone. Chu Feng was like a person who was also grieving for a friend who passed away. He "reminisced" with him about Lin Han's voice and smile, and watched Chu Feng discuss with others. Looking at the "self" that died several years ago, it feels really awkward.
The two chatted for a while, the old eunuch calmed down the crying slowly, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "The old slave can't help it, I made the son laugh. It's getting late, the two sons should go home early , so as not to worry the family members. This old servant still wants to accompany Master Lin again."
Chu Feng bid farewell to him and took me away from the cemetery.
He carried the lantern in front of him silently and walked fast, he even forgot to take care of me who was not used to walking on mountain roads, until I called him, he came back to his senses and came back to help me: "Sorry, I am here think about things."
"This matter is weird from the inside out, have you come up with any ideas?"
Chu Feng shook his head: "If not, go back and follow him to see what kind of tricks this person is playing. I'll go home and wait for you."
I happened to think the same way, so I activated the invisibility pearl again, went back to find the old eunuch, Chu Feng picked up my clothes, and went down the mountain alone.
The old eunuch had put away the grief on his face and burned the sacrifices he had brought. I saw him quickly pack up the basket and go down the mountain. It looked like he was old and strong, and he was more stable than me on the mountain road.
There were actually two bearers and a few guards waiting for him at the foot of the mountain, and they were all dressed as people from the palace. Although the eunuchs must have come out of the palace, he actually brought a group of people to come in a group. This alone is enough to show that visiting the grave is not his own private behavior.
The bearers carried him to the city, and I landed lightly on the top of the sedan chair, and decided to follow to see what happened.
They knocked on the small door next to the gate of the palace with a token, and entered the palace. The old eunuch, under the service of several young eunuchs, changed out of the plain coat and put on what seemed to be a eunuch with a higher status. The kind of palace clothes, and then I went to see the emperor.
Yang Xi hadn't slept yet, and was frowning, squinting his old eyes that might have been dimmed, reading the memorial by candlelight.The old eunuch walked quietly behind him like a ghost, not disturbing the attentive old man at all.
After Yang Xi finished approving the current memorial, he rubbed the center of his brows with a tired expression, and asked in a tired voice: "Is it done?"
"The matter of returning to the emperor has already been settled, but..." the old eunuch paused.
"Don't hesitate, just say something."
"Yes, this servant met two people during the sacrifice, and they also sacrificed to Lin Tan today. This servant recognizes that they are Master Bai Ze, the protector of the country, and his guard, Chu Feng."
...I didn't expect that this eunuch would recognize us. Although I have entered the palace several times, due to some people's ulterior motives, I always wear a mask when I go in and out, and I am only alone with the emperor and others. It will only be picked off. Although Chu Feng shows his face everywhere, a small officer of the fifth and sixth ranks like him in this capital can probably hit two or three if a big sign falls off, unless it is someone who really has contacts. Most people probably wouldn't recognize him.
I bet on a sesame seed, this old eunuch is definitely not just a simple eunuch.
"Bai Ze? What is he going to do..." Yang Xi frowned even deeper.
"Looking at it like that, Master Immortal should have accompanied Chu Feng. The slave spoke out to test, and I heard that Chu Feng, the captain of Chu, said that everyone in the Lin family had died in the northwest border. He and Lin Tan's son, Lin Han, were in trouble. Hand over, Lin Han entrusted him to pay homage to my father before he died."
"Are they really all dead...?" Yang Xi stayed silent for a while, then asked again, "In your opinion, is it possible that Chu Feng is talking nonsense?"
"Based on what the slave saw, it's very possible. It's just that Chu Feng is obviously very defensive and doesn't trust the slave. The slave has tried several times, but he hasn't found any useful news."
That is, my Chu Feng is smart and cautious.
Yang Xi held his forehead and remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Does that Chu Feng look like Lin Tan?"
I wipe!What are you doubting!What kind of associative ability is this? !
"It's not like...but if you really want to say it, there is a bit of similarity between the eyebrows and the eyes."
Looks like a fart!Chu Feng himself told me that he looks more like his mother. According to you, 80.00% of the yellow races are a bit similar, okay?
The old eunuch asked tentatively: "Could it be that the emperor is suspecting that this Chu Feng is actually Lin Han?"
"I have such an idea." Yang Xi said, "You just said that Bai Ze also went with him. This alone is very unusual. If it is true what Chu Feng said, he was only entrusted by a friend Sacrifice to a friend's family, then this should only be his business, even if he has an affair with Bai Ze, there is no need to take Bai Ze to the barren mountains to suffer such bad luck."
...Is it true that even the emperor knows about the private affair between me and Chu Feng?
"However, the Master Immortal Master has a youthful heart and often acts unexpectedly. Could it be that he went there on a whim?"
"No, Bai Ze is the Immortal Protector I appointed to protect the country. His status is so noble. Even if he wants to visit other people's graves on a whim, he should bring a group of guards to wait on him along the way. Under what circumstances would he Going with Chu Feng is nothing more than two situations, one is that the person Chu Feng sacrificed is a person of extraordinary significance to him, and the other is that they don't want others to know about their trip."
Hearing this, I can only say that he is worthy of being Yang Jue's father, and the man who had the last laugh in the chaotic battle in the Central Plains. My friends and I feel how broken Yali Mountain is.
"If I remember correctly, this Chu Feng is also one of Xie Jin's adoptive sons, who was brought back from the northwest by Xie Jin. And the last time the Lin family disappeared was also in the northwest."
The old eunuch flattered him calmly: "The emperor has a good memory, that's right, and Chu Feng is also the same age as Lin Han."
"It's good to check this person—but don't disturb Bai Ze." Yang Xi ordered.
Thanks, I'm already stunned by you, okay?
"The slave obeys the order," said the old eunuch.
When I rushed home, Chu Feng had already prepared food and clothes waiting for me. After I showed up, his first sentence was not to ask me what I found out, but to say: "Why did you come back so late, hungry?" It's broken."
"Must." Disregarding my image, I grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it in my mouth while he was helping me to dress, and I ate the pastry crumbs all over the floor, "But fortunately, I followed, you know, the emperor That guy is so smart, he actually deduced your real identity from the fact that I went to visit the grave with you!"
Chu Feng heard me describe what I saw and heard, frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
"Really, he is simply too scary, and so is the old eunuch. Who am I to rely on, a scanner with a built-in face recognition function?"
Chu Feng has become accustomed to some strange words coming out of my mouth at every turn: "According to what you said, that person should be the head of the big house, the Eight Treasures."
I almost spit out the food in my mouth, Sixi, Babao, and the names of the people around the emperor are all so kawaii. Is there something wrong with rice?
"If this person wants to investigate me, things will be a little troublesome..." Chu Feng looked worried.
"As for it, is that bowl of eight-treasure porridge really that powerful?"
"You may not know that throughout the ages, emperors have always been worried about their courtiers, and would often cultivate a eunuch force to monitor and balance those foreign courtiers. This Eight Treasures is dedicated to doing these things for the emperor, and has won the emperor's trust. "
"Oh——" I immediately understood that the eight-treasure porridge was the head of a spy agency similar to Dongchang.
I became a little worried. Although Chu Feng was smart, he was still too young and lonely. He didn't have many brothers around him. I'm afraid he wasn't a match for this group of professional court eagle dogs. Sooner or later, they would dig out his background.
Chu Feng seemed to be very worried about this too. I comforted him and said, "Maybe things are not as terrible as you imagined? The emperor always has nightmares and sees people who were killed before come to him to ask for his life, and he also sent Maybe he actually regrets killing your father by mistake and wants to make up for you?"
Chu Feng shook his head: "You always think too well of people. Yang Xi was able to defeat many opponents and become emperor because of his kindness and tolerance."
"I think you think too badly of people." I said unconvinced, "If the emperor wanted to punish you, he should have punished you back then. Since he let your family live back then, it has been so long now, It is unreasonable for him to want to harm you as soon as he hears that you are still alive."
"Let me give you a few examples and you will understand." Chu Feng said solemnly, "Back then Hussar General Zhao Guangling was suspected of treason and was sentenced to beheaded. His whole family was exiled in southern Xinjiang, bitten by poisonous insects on the way, and all died of illness. Mr. Qian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was demoted and returned to his hometown. Half a month later, the inn caught fire and was burned to death. Yang Xi’s uncle, who had always been healthy, died of an unprovoked illness after being imprisoned by him for three months. His elder brother lost his power struggle and was deported. Hometown, capsized halfway and drowned..."
Chu Feng reported more than a dozen abnormal deaths in one breath, and I was horrified to hear them. If there were one or two, it could be considered just a coincidence, but after so many cases, anyone can see that there is definitely something wrong with Yang Xi, and it really is. Am I thinking too well of everyone?
"It is conceivable that if it hadn't been for the accident that year, the assassins waiting for our family would also be sent by the emperor. The emperor has always been a person who either doesn't do it, or does it absolutely, and doesn't leave any trouble for himself, but he And I cherish my reputation very much, so I try to use some low-level methods. Think about it, if a person has been doing everything for decades, will he suddenly change his sex after having a few nightmares? I I can't believe it at all."
