The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 412

The night was getting dark, and the huge palace was like a huge monster lying prone under the night sky, silent.

The palace is very big, but there are not many people, only dotted with lights.If you listen carefully, besides the subtle sounds of insects, there are the neat footsteps of the guards when they are patrolling.

In the spacious yard of the Yizheng Hall, Jiang Chuan was lying on a bamboo recliner, dressed in light clothes, with his eyes closed, and he was playing a little tune that was not in tune. No one knew what it was, only he knew it was A bit of his memories of past lives that are getting farther and farther away.

There was silence around him, and no one seemed to be there.But Jiang Chuan knew that as long as there was a slight disturbance, Bai Mu and a group of fully armed guards would appear in front of him immediately.

He believed that no one would be able to jump over the heavy guards to assassinate him, not to mention that the most skilled person in the entire palace was none other than him, King Qin himself.

It's just that there are too few outsiders who know Jiang Chuan's skills, and it can even be said that there are basically none.

It's just that Bai Mu insisted on insisting, so Jiang Chuan followed him.After all, protecting himself is his job.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, but it felt a little heavy. Jiang Chuan's eyebrows moved, but his eyes were still closed, and he continued to hum a ditty.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when he came to Jiang Chuan, a Ruan Nuo said softly in a timid voice: "My lord, this servant is waiting for you to soak your feet."

As soon as he heard the voice, Jiang Chuan knew it was the beautiful maid Deng Xiaojin.

He hummed, straightened his feet, and let Deng Xiaojin remove his shoes and socks.

Jiang Chuan's feet had been wearing riding boots before, so they naturally had some taste.He opened his eyes and saw Deng Xiaojin frowning and trying to hold his breath, carefully helping himself to take off his shoes and socks, he couldn't help laughing.

Deng Xiaojin's face turned red all of a sudden, and his movements became tense and flustered. It took him a long time to take off his shoes and socks.

Putting his feet into the warm water, Jiang Chuan groaned comfortably, looked at Deng Xiaojin who was squatting in front of him washing his feet, and asked, "Is this the first time you wash someone else's feet?"

Deng Xiaojin hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"You told me in the carriage during the day that if you don't serve the king well, the emperor will kill you. What's going on? Don't hide it from me. You said you want to keep it with me, so you have to hide nothing from me. .” Jiang Chuan continued to ask.

Jiang Chuan's voice was not high-pitched, but there was a sense that he could not refuse. Deng Xiaojin's face changed slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he finally said it.

"Does the lord know Zhou Yunyi, who was executed by His Majesty on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month?" Deng Xiaojin didn't say directly, but asked first.

This matter has been mentioned in the news of Heibingtai, Jiang Chuan has the impression, nodded and said: "Of course I know, Zhou Yunyi is an official who dares to speak out, and his death is too unjust."

Hearing what Jiang Chuan said, Deng Xiaojin's smoke circle turned red all of a sudden, and he said in a low voice for a while, "Zhou Yunyi is actually my adoptive father. He was a close friend with my father before his death."

Jiang Chuan froze for a moment, and asked, "What about your father? Zhou Yunyi angered the emperor, how could he implicate you?"

Deng Xiaojin said in a low voice: "My father's name is Deng Baichuan, and he was originally a county magistrate under Xi'an Prefecture in Shanzhou. When the bandits raised troops to attack Xi'an City, my father was killed by them. My father sent me and my mother away in advance. Come out, let us go to the capital to find Uncle Zhou Yunyi, and say that he will take us in."

"After arriving in the capital, Uncle Zhou really took us in. But my mother was bumpy and frightened all the way, and she couldn't get sick when she arrived in the capital. Although Uncle Zhou helped my mother find a doctor, my mother finally left. "

Having said this, Deng Xiaojin couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.

Jiang Chuan didn't go to comfort her either. After more than a year of killing and fighting, his heart had already become hard and cold, and he would not easily believe what others said, so he just listened quietly.

Deng Xiaojin sobbed for a while, put away his tears and continued: "After my mother died, I became an orphan with no mother and no father. Uncle Zhou adopted me and became my adoptive father. After a year, I found a good man to marry. But I didn't expect that in less than two months, he suffered a disaster. His family and I were implicated, and Uncle Zhou's son was locked in the prison of Shuntian Mansion. In the middle, my adoptive mother and I were dispatched to the Jiaofang Division. A few days ago, someone from the palace found the servant and said that the servant should prepare to serve the prince. be put to death."

When Jiang Chuan heard this, he understood why the girl had such a big reaction during the day.

I didn't expect such a thing to come out, but there are still some details that need to be verified.

"Do you still remember who was the person who came to see you in the palace?" Jiang Chuan asked.

"The slaves don't know each other, but at that time, the eunuch in charge of the Jiaofang Division called him Huang Gonggong, and asked us to respect that father-in-law ancestor." Deng Xiaojin said in a low voice.

Eunuch Huang?ancestors?Jiang Chuan remembered something that Zhang Shun told him during the day: the eunuchs and maids in the palace all called Wei Zhongxian, the handprint eunuch, the ancestor.The other four Bingbi eunuchs are called ancestors.

According to this, this Eunuch Huang should be one of the four eunuchs holding pens.

It's just that Jiang Chuan doesn't know much about the affairs in the palace, so he will check with Chen Zhaojun tomorrow.

"Did Eunuch Huang ask you how to serve me when Eunuch Huang came to see you? Didn't you tell him everything about me?" Although Jiang Chuan was still lying on the recliner, his tone was a little heavier when he spoke. Suddenly, Deng Xiaojin was so shocked that he took a step back and knelt on the ground and said anxiously:
"My lord, this servant dare not hide from my lord. Eunuch Huang has indeed said so. He said that if this servant refuses to obey, he will kill his adoptive father and his family. This servant has no choice but to agree to him. But this servant knows that this is a death penalty, so he dare not lie to his lord. I also ask the lord to spare the slaves!"

Deng Xiaojin looked terrified, his face was pale, his body was shaking, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Jiang Chuan raised his head and looked at the sky, wondering if Wei Zhongxian knew about it.If you knew about it, but didn't tell yourself when you came today, then obviously everything today is a performance, and you can go directly to the birth of an actor.

If he didn't know, then who instigated this Eunuch Huang to do this?The emperor or does he act on his own?

But it's obviously unreliable for them to arrange such a little girl who seems to be obviously ignorant of the world and has poor psychological quality to be an eyeliner by their side, or it's just a smoke bomb. The real purpose is to drive Wei Zhongxian apart?
This matter is interesting, I never thought that these people would start to plot when I just entered Beijing.
