The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"people……"

"Not awake yet..." Yin Cheng moved aside, indicating that Mao Feng was in the main room.

As Li Yi took a step, a figure rushed in before him.

"Didn't you use torture?" Li Yi frowned slightly and looked at Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng took a step to the left and lowered his voice, "Grand Emperor, I really didn't use torture, I just locked him in the dark room for a long time..."

"Maybe I was too tired and fell asleep."

Li Yi looked at Yin Cheng, "Are you sure you were sleeping?"

Yin Cheng grinned.

"Have you figured out what's going on?" Li Yi walked inside.

"Mao Feng..."

As soon as Yin Cheng opened his mouth, there were cries of pain from the main room.

"Second sister!"

"Woooooooo..."

Mao Feng hugged Mao Wenyu and cried breathlessly.

"Let's go back to Duxuancheng! Let's go back to Duxuancheng!"

"Suizhou is not a place for human beings to stay!"

"Woooooooo..."

Mao Feng sobbed and sniffed hard, "I picked up a handkerchief and tried to return it to the girl, but they beat me!"

"And he said he would peel off my skin!"

"It's so dark in that house, second sister, go home! I want to go home!!!"

Mao Feng was shaking and his emotions were out of control.

"Let's go home. Let's go home." Mao Wenyun patted Mao Feng's back gently and soothed him in a gentle voice.

Yin Cheng closed his open mouth. In this situation, he had no way of making excuses to Sun Qi. It was 100% his fault.

Mao Feng looked like a simple-minded young man who was almost stupid.

After helping Mao Feng put on his shoes, Mao Wenyu helped him walk out.

Mao Feng lowered his head, not daring to look around, and instinctively shrank towards Mao Wenyu.

"I will call Sun Qi here."

Yin Cheng looked at Li Yi's face and whispered.

"Captain." Sun Qi was waiting outside. When he saw Yin Cheng coming out, he walked forward.

"He is just a playful young man who is ignorant of the ways of the world."

Sun Qi was stunned, wanting to cry but unable to, "Captain, do I still have a chance?"

Yin Cheng looked inside and said, "You should admit your mistake later. The emperor will be unhappy if he sees you."

Sun Qi pinched his fingers, took a deep breath, and strode in.

"I was reckless, please punish me, Your Majesty."

With a thud, Sun Qi fell to his knees.

Li Yi took a sip of tea and gently put the cup down.

Sun Qi raised his head and found that Li Yi was not sitting there. He turned his knees to the left.

"Although the salary at the Duqiansi is good, it is also hard work, and there is even a risk of losing one's life."

Li Yi stood up and said, "Because I know this, I have been indulging you and the rules are not strict."

"You are the people I brought up. I know your character very well. I don't think you will stray from the right path."

"But today, I am suddenly unsure."

"I am wrong, I beg the Supreme Emperor to punish me severely!" All the blood drained from Sun Qi's face. He stretched out his hand, put his head on it, and apologized to Li Yi.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi looked at him with dignity on his face.

"I shouldn't have arrested someone based on my feelings. This was a mistake. After bringing the person back to the Duqian Division, I didn't conduct any inquiries or verification, and directly convicted him."

"Apologize to Mao Feng, and go to the torture chamber to receive twenty lashes."

"Get up."

"Yin Cheng." Li Yi looked over. "I will transfer 10,000 taels from my private treasury to the Duqian Division. I will not record it this time. If you arrest someone without investigation and punish them privately in the future, engrave it on the pillar for me."

"Write down the incident, name, and amount of compensation."

"The Duqiansi is protecting the country. You are men of steel, not treacherous villains. You should have the people in your heart."

"You can't be soft-hearted towards evildoers, but you have to be able to feel the joys and sorrows of ordinary people."

“Once you are divorced from the masses, ignore right and wrong, make subjective judgments, and do not take their grievances and suffering seriously, then no matter how long and strong the dam is, it will collapse.”

"This tendency must be extinguished completely."

"It was my negligence." Yin Cheng lowered his head, feeling very guilty.

"A fine of 100 taels of silver and no meat for three days."

"Receive ten whips." Li Yi spoke slowly.

"Sun Qi, do you have anything to say?" Li Yi turned his head slightly and turned his gaze to Sun Qi.

"I request fifty more lashes," Sun Qi said solemnly.

"After being tense for too long, it is inevitable that you will unconsciously deviate from the direction if you suddenly relax. Twenty lashes will be enough. I believe you can control yourself and will not make the same mistake again."

With the last sentence, Li Yi's tone softened.

"Okay, go do whatever you need to do."

Li Yi's clothes moved slightly, and he left the Duqiansi.

In the carriage, Mao Feng hugged the mattress and wiped away tears from time to time.

Mao Wenyun looked at this scene, her heart aching, "Wait until father and elder brother arrive, and I will take you to another place."

"Is there a safer place than Suizhou?"

Li Yi lifted the car curtain and got in.

"You came here together, why couldn't you wait for me!" Li Yi accused Mao Wenyun, "Do you know how cold it is to ride a horse at night?"

"I said you have the intention to kill the king!"

Li Yi snatched Mao Feng's mattress and wrapped himself in it.

Mao Feng looked at him blankly.

"Don't you recognize me?" Li Yi picked up a piece of cake and took a bite of it. "When I was in Qin State, my name was Jiang Jin."

"Jiang Jin!"

Mao Feng's eyes changed immediately, like a volcano erupting.

"You liar!"

Mao Feng yelled, "I trust you so much!"

"what!"

Mao Feng pounced on Li Yi and tried to strangle him.

"Mao Wenyun! Hurry up and hold him back!"

"Assassinating the emperor is a capital crime!" Li Yi used his hands and feet to push Mao Feng.

Mao Wenyun moved to the side and ate her cake quietly.

"Ow!"

Li Yi screamed.

"Escort!"

"Here comes someone, escort me!"

The sound was heard outside, and the guard pulled the reins and went to take a look.

"What are you doing?"

Another guard stopped him.

"Didn't you hear the emperor calling for protection?"

Hu Dehou gave the guard a look that said "you are such a fool", "The emperor is so skilled that even ten of you and I are not enough to defeat him."

"Even if the Mao brothers and sisters try their best, they can't hurt the emperor even a hair."

"Just kidding with them."

"If you really need help, the emperor wouldn't speak in that tone, idiot." Hu Dehou grabbed the guard's reins and led him to the side.

The guard looked back at the carriage.

"Don't worry, it must be fun." Hu Dehou promised.

The team moved forward neither hurriedly nor slowly.

In the carriage, Li Yi pinched Mao Feng's mouth open. Nowadays, even stupid roe deer can bite people!

Mao Feng stared at Li Yi without any fear, and moved his teeth, obviously wanting to bite him again.

"Mao Wenyun, he bit me!"

Li Yi asked Mao Wenyun for an explanation.

"The Rules for Disciples, the teachings of the sages..." Mao Wenyun recited in a low voice.

Li Yi's temples throbbed and he raised his voice, "Mao Wenyun, he bit me!"

"I am blind." Mao Wenyun finally responded this time.

But it’s better not to give this reaction.

"Whatever!"

Li Yi leaned over and bit Mao Wenyu's shoulder.

"Second...sister!"

When Mao Feng saw Mao Wenyu being bullied, he exploded with anger and slammed into Li Yi with all his might.

Li Yi just stood up and, under the great force of Mao Feng, crashed into Mao Wenyun's arms.
