Chapter 677 Confessions
Gu Xiang sighed, stuffed the things in his hand back, and the box was closed.
Zhang Ming stared at him with a gaze, but didn't look at what Gu Xiang was holding, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Gu Xiang turned around and saw Zhang Ming's expression, and smiled and said softly: "You have never seen this thing before, it's a good thing."
If I had seen it, I might not be able to live now.
"Snow Eagle, let the dead be buried in peace...we are back home."
As for Zhang Ming, Gu Xiang hesitated for a while and did not kill him. He directly asked Xueying to tie the people up, and did not send them to Magistrate Wang. He found a tiger cave in the mountains around Guzhuang and stuffed the people into it and settled them.
There is another imperial envoy who needs to find it. He wants to see people and die. Moreover, when Gu Xiang saw the things in the box in the coffin, he suddenly felt that all the people involved were not going to die. He lived as much as possible until he was sent to the capital, handed it over to the Imperial City Office, and handed it over to the emperor for disposal.
The first volume of the letter that Gu Xiang dug out was the confession of a eunuch.
The eunuch claimed that his surname was Li, and was assigned to the Luanfeng Pavilion of Lan Meiren twenty years ago. He was always responsible for the night fragrance.
Originally, Eunuch Li would probably live in the palace all his life. When he was old, like other old and weak eunuchs, he would probably not be a good life in the palace. He would generally be able to live.
Later, he had his parents and younger brother outside the palace. His younger brother was sick. He couldn't help but steal some things from the palace and used them for his parents.
If you get addicted to doing something like this, you can't stop it.
Eunuch Li is also a common man, and like ordinary people, he is getting more and more comfortable with this. He has always been responsible for the night fragrance, and no one is willing to check it carefully. He will be smooth sailing when doing this. Unexpectedly, he will be exposed in the end and a big eunuch who served the empress dowager in Baoci Palace in the palace was arrested.
Unexpectedly, this eunuch was very compassionate and did not give him back. Instead, he accepted him as his godson. At first, Eunuch Li was quite grateful to the eunuch and really treated him as his godfather. Unlike the palace people, their life was much harder as eunuchs. At least the palace maids still had a thought, and they had the opportunity to get married after leaving the palace, but they didn't have it. They were similar in temperament and had no conflicts of interests. It was better to join the group to keep warm than to be alone.
But I never thought that the eunuch took him in order to do so, and his purpose was not simple.
The eunuchs also often communicated with each other inside and outside, and wanted to send things out of the palace, and then transported things from outside the palace to the palace.
This dynasty's palace is strictly prohibited, and it is not a joke.
Even Eunuch Li stole some items from the palace, and he was responsible for the night fragrance. He didn't dare to steal any large items. They were all small items that were placed in front of him and might not be able to see carefully.
When Eunuch Li saw his godfather doing these things, he was naturally scared. His godfather comforted him and said that the father and son were just small people. There were tall men who were holding on to him when the sky fell, so what were they afraid of?
When he thought about it, he was also very worried. Moreover, his parents at home were old and weak, his younger brother was young, and he was in poor health, so he gritted his teeth and kept doing it.
For more than half a year, he worked carefully and never made any mistakes. He gradually felt that this was not a big deal.
It is indeed as his godfather said, the water in the palace is deep, and the father and son are all small shrimps, eating some leftovers, and many eunuchs and palace maids secretly do such unscrupulous business, so he became more and more calm in his work. As a result, more than a year later, something big happened.
That year, Concubine Lan, the most favored in the palace, became pregnant. The imperial doctor in the palace said he was a son. The people in the palace were very happy, and the emperor was even more happy.
On the day when Concubine Lan gave birth, Eunuch Li received an errand from his godfather. When his godfather asked him to do work that day, he heard the instructions from his superiors and deliberately knocked Ye Xiang down on the path north of Luanfeng Pavilion.
The godfather gave her a lot of money, and Eunuch Li only thought that some concubine in the palace was jealous of Concubine Lan and wanted to find some unhappiness for her on this day.
Although this is an errand that requires punishment, Your Majesty is kind and it is the day of the birth of Concubine Lan, so I believe that I cannot see blood.
He thought that at most, he would be fined some salary.
But the reward given by his godfather was much higher than his salary. That day, he followed his godfather's words and obediently followed the instructions from his superiors. When the baby cried in the concubine Lan's bedroom, he pretended to accidentally and poured Ye Xiang on the ground.
The story immediately became chaotic. He was fined for half a year's monthly salary, and several eunuchs pointed at the nose and cursed him. He also asked him to clean the toilet for three months. But as he expected, Concubine Lan gave birth to the eldest prince and celebrated the whole world. His Majesty was naturally happy. He was safe and safe.
The eldest prince born to Concubine Lan did not survive safely. In March, the child died of illness. He was obviously quite healthy when he was born, but in the end he was like this.
He was just like others, and it would be fine to say a few regrets. Even if it was His Majesty, his Majesty's prince was gone, it had nothing to do with him.
But that day he went to give his godfather snacks, and the ground was slippery and he accidentally fell down. He accidentally touched the mechanism and fell into a dark pit.
As soon as he fell in, he heard his godfather quarrel with someone. Perhaps he was too involved and didn't notice him.
On that day, Eunuch Li discovered a major event - his godfather and two other eunuchs, he actually secretly changed to Concubine Lan's prince!
The dead prince turned out to be a fake Li Dai Taozun. The real prince had asked them to collude with the peaceful lady and the palace maid on the day of Concubine Lan's birth, and the eunuch gave it to him...
Eunuch Li was so scared that he was trembling all over, his teeth seemed to be trembling. He didn't know what he did. He was so lucky that he climbed out safely.
This is not just a matter of losing one's head. If this matter is exposed, no one can survive, his parents, and brothers.
Eunuch Li forced himself to close his mouth. After more than half a year, he slowly got into a bad disease and begged his godfather to save him and let him go out of the palace.
Although his godfather had done such a beheading business, he still had a little sincerity towards him. He tried his best to please filial piety on weekdays, and was low and small, but he finally escaped from the palace.
Eunuch Li originally wanted to be in his stomach for the rest of his life. In just a few years, his parents and brothers were gone. He himself was seriously ill and life was worse than death. He had no thoughts. At that time, he was grateful to a noble man. When he wanted to investigate the matter, he simply honestly told everything he knew, signed and stamped, promising that if the noble man needed it, he could go to His Majesty to explain the matter at any time.
"But now this confession is left here."
Is this a story?
Gu Xiang glanced at Xueying's hand, and suddenly missed Duke An a little.
It’s not that she relies on that noble person, but it’s really the matter now. She really wants to be the boss.
