Chapter 744: Severed Finger

Liu Da came in a hurry, but this time, Qiuqiu could only see him in the small house where he temporarily lived.

The cottage is incomparable to where he lived before. There is no independent courtyard. Fortunately, it is a bit remote here, and no one will come from morning to night.

Qiuqiu lowered her voice and said, "Speak quickly, it's not safe here."

Liu Da quickly took out a secret bag from his arms and said, "It has been snowing heavily these two days, and there is no stall on Wuliu Street. This secret bag was thrown into the Wei family yard early this morning."

The Wei family is the home of Sister Liu Da.

Qiuqiu took the brocade bag and quickly stuffed it into her sleeve. Liu Da turned around and greeted the two eunuchs passing by, and walked quickly.

Qiuqiu then took out the secret bag from her sleeve and poured the things inside into her palm.

But as soon as the thing touched his palm, he felt something strange.

As usual, it was still a small tube of yellow paper rolled into a small tube; as usual, it was covered with something in yellow paper.

One finger!

Qiuqiu let out a low voice, his hand shook, and the finger fell to the ground along with the yellow paper wrapped outside, rolling into the gap at the end of the bed.

Qiuqiu's body stood stiff and could not move.

For a moment, he moved his stiff body with difficulty, bent down, and picked up the yellow paper.

There are only two words on the yellow paper.

Dragon slaying!

A burning feeling came from my fingers. Qiuqiu threw Huang on the ground in horror, as if throwing a hot iron plate.

He stood there blankly, his already stiff body as if it had been petrified and could no longer move.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sharp voice of the eunuch sounded outside: “Master Qiu, Master Qiu, can you be inside?”

It seemed that someone was pulling him in the vast sea. Qiuqiu let out a turbid and thick breath. Only then did he realize that he was already sweating profusely.

"What's the matter?" he asked dryly, even he felt strange to him, as if it wasn't in his throat.

The little eunuch outside the house said respectfully: "Master Qiu, I just looked for you with my father-in-law, Your Majesty summoned you over."

"I understand." Qiuqiu said lightly.

Perhaps the eunuch outside the house also felt something was wrong, so he didn't dare to say anything, and left in a hurry.

Qiuqiu did not move. After a long time, he bent down again and picked up the yellow paper that fell on the ground. He suddenly remembered something, looked up, found a hairpin from the drawer, and pulled out the finger from the crack of the bed with disgust.

This is a woman's tail finger.

The fingers are slender, and the fracture has been treated, and there is no blood.

Qiuqiu doesn't need to guess, and he also knows whose finger belongs to it.

He kicked the brazier with his feet and threw the finger into the brazier with yellow paper.

The smell of burning flesh spread out, Qiuqiu felt disgusting, so he turned around and locked the door, and quickly went to the emperor's bedroom.

An eunuch covered in soil and covered in dirty body flashed out from behind a holly tree, walked to the house, looked at the lock on it, and walked into the crack of the door, suddenly his eyebrows moved, covered his nose, and flashed again behind the holly tree.

A little leaned over, a slender figure came over, dressed in an eunuch, but compared to the one just now, she was dressed neatly and cleanly and used exquisitely. Two treasure flowers were embroidered on the lining of the sleeves.

The eunuch also looked at the lock, then he looked around and took out a strange-shaped key from his sleeve. With a click, the lock was opened by him. He pushed the door and walked in.

Soon, the eunuch came out of it, locked the lock again, and ran away.

The man lying behind the holly tree leaned out and looked at his back.

Well, although she just came, she already knew who this person was.

It’s not easy to not know this person when you are in the Ganqing Palace.

This is the second favorite eunuch around Emperor Chongwen, Lian'er.

Zhou Tong raised her eyebrows lightly. She just smelled a burnt smell through the crack in the door. Fortunately, Lian'er didn't dislike it.

Among the eunuchs around the emperor, there were people from Li Guanzhong.

As for who this person is, Li Guanzhong did not say it, and Zhou Tong did not ask.

This is the rule.

She had just guessed before, but now she can be sure.

Lian'er is Li Guanzhong's person.

As for what Qiuqiu burned in the hut, I just need to ask Li Guanzhong at that time.

Zhou Tong stretched and the task this time was completed.

Thanks to this heavy snow.

Who would have thought Qiuqiu's house would collapse?

This allowed her to follow the people from the Inner Supervision Office to sneak into the Ganqing Palace.

For the people in the Ganqing Palace, the eunuchs who act as bricklayers in the Inner Officials’ Supervisors are all real faces. She is hidden among these real faces, and no one will notice her.

The matters about the house are really not the bad guy Zhou Tong was given.

However, there are not a few real coincidences in this world.

Any coincidence is made by eight out of ten.

Lian'er had the universal key in his hand. Since he had the intention to check in Qiuqiu's house, the first thing he had to do was to move Qiuqiu out of the small courtyard next to the emperor's bedroom and guarded by guards.

So the house happened to be crushed by heavy snow.

It is not difficult to do this, at least it is not a difficult task for Zhou Tong. Even the grass and trees in the Ganqing Palace are extremely familiar with it. For him, it is not a difficult task.

Zhou Tong hugged her waist and ran quickly into the shadow of the dead branches not far away.

According to her original plan, this evening, she would follow the eunuchs from the Inner Supervision Commission to return to their residence in the imperial city.

There is also an imperial city outside the palace. Not every eunuch is qualified to live in the palace, and there is no room for all eunuchs in the palace. Only eunuchs and eunuchs who can serve the masters of each palace can have their own place to live in the palace. The eunuchs and other eunuchs in the twenty-four yamen and other low-ranking eunuchs live in the Langxia family near Xuanwu Gate.

The group of mason eunuchs who were in the lawsuit also lived in Langxia's home.

As long as Zhou Tong followed them back to Langxia's house, she would leave the palace. Although Langxia's house was also the imperial city, there were no heavy guards in the palace. Li Guanzhong had already made arrangements. As long as she returned to Langxia's house, she would be safe.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes. On the evening of that day, Zhou Tong failed to finish work with the eunuchs in the Inner Supervision Commission.

Just when they were about to finish work, Shuning Palace was out of water.

Shuning Palace was once the bedroom of Emperor Taizu's favorite concubine Rong Niangniang. Rong Niangniang died in her early thirties. Emperor Taizu asked the two beauties who originally lived in Shuning Palace with Emperor Rong to move out. Only the eunuchs and palace maids who had served Rong Niangniang were left in Shuning Palace.

Before the King of Qin had entered the vassal state, he often came to Shuning Palace to commemorate his deceased mother. Later, when the King of Qin went to Xi'an, no one came to Shuning Palace.

After Emperor Chongwen's wedding, more and more women in the harem gradually emerged, and Shuning Palace also welcomed a new master. Now the people living here are Dingpin and Jiao Meiren.
