Jinyi Music

Silian's delicate brows frowned, and suddenly raised again,
"You said that Hong Kui is very likely to come from the palace, and the old eunuch did not find out his origin, probably because the booklet recording his identity was destroyed. The person who can destroy the records in the palace must have an identity. You are a precious person, and what Hong Kui did must be very hidden and cannot be known to outsiders, but... now that his identity is exposed, you still look like you want to track him down, will he be..."

Before she finished speaking, Mou Biao was startled suddenly, and the husband and wife said at the same time,
"Murder and kill!"

Mou Biao slapped his head,
"Why didn't I think that after this kind of hidden pile is discovered, it is the right thing to be silenced by the superiors. Why didn't I think of it for a while... No wonder I saw Tian Youyin today, and I always felt in my heart. Something is wrong, but I never figured out why..."

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't expect Hong Kui to be silenced, but he didn't expect that an old eunuch like Chang Youyin, who was silent in the palace, would come to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen to make a move in person!
Thinking of this, his face changed,
"Quick, find me a robe, I'm going to the Yamen!"

Si Lian hurriedly turned around and found a thick robe for him, and Mou Biao rushed out of the door wearing it...

Hong Kui, who was lying on the ground in the prison cell of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, smiled when he saw Mou Biao, and a wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Sure enough, he is the Commander of Jin Yiwei, and he is not too stupid!"

Mou Biao went in with a cold face, waved his hand, and someone came in and put a torch on, and the small cell was lit up immediately. Hong Kui lay half covered in blood, looked at Mou Biao and said,
"You figure it out?"

Mou Biao thought for a while, waved people out, and ordered,
"Open the cell door, you all retreat outside..."

"Yes!"

After everyone had retreated, Mou Biao asked in a low voice,
"Chang Youyin's hands?"

Hong Kui smiled,
"He is a master of poison in the palace. If he is placed in the Jianghu, he will be second-class. It's not surprising that you can't see his methods..."

Mou Biao frowned,
"It seems that I provoked him, but I got you a death talisman..."

Hong Kui smiled again,

"It's okay, since the day I left the palace, I knew that this day would come sooner or later..."

Mou Biao tried to put his hand on his wrist, but he didn't notice any abnormality in his body.
"Sure enough, it's a good method. I can't detect the poison in your body at all!"

Hong Kui nodded and said,
"Chang Youyin's craft of poisoning has been very powerful 30 years ago. We were planted with poison as soon as we entered the palace. It has been lurking in our bodies for so many years. As long as we don't activate it, we will be as usual. It's like a human being, but if it is activated, it will die within three days!"

Mou Biao frowned,
"Shall I ask the doctor to treat you?"

Hong Kui shook his head,

"There is no cure for this poison, I have already lived enough!"

Speaking of this, he cast his eyes on the torches dancing on the wall, sighed and said,
"That's fine. For people like us, living is suffering. It's better to die early and be reborn..."

Like many young eunuchs in the palace, Hong Kui was from a poor background. Because his father died of a sudden illness, his mother had no choice but to give him to the yamen servants recruited by the government for two taels of silver.

He was only six years old when he left, and the only memories of his hometown are his mother standing at the intersection and the sister holding her hand, and the two older brothers who have been crying behind them. Together with the children, they walked a long, long way, and it took a whole year to reach the capital.

Afterwards, they were taken into a big mansion, and after staying there for ten days, they were dragged into a room, and their trousers were taken off to clean themselves. At that time, Hong Kui didn't know, All the children in their house have gone to the gate of hell and walked away!
After being washed, he passed out from the pain. After the wound was stitched up, he had to put a handful of ash on his head, and then he was thrown into a room where fifteen children of his age slept. , Everyone was crying and wailing that night, no one answered, only someone brought in a bucket of cold water.

Hong Kui struggled to get up and took a sip, but many people couldn't even crawl up. In the following days, people were dragged away every day. Some people were still screaming in pain the first day, but they were silent the next day. , Some people were flushed, unconscious all the time, with pus dripping from their crotch, and finally the whole room started to stink, and then they were dragged away.

Relying on his good health, Hong Kui finally made it through, and was taken into the palace, and then someone taught them how to read, and because of his good bones, he was selected to practice martial arts, to practice inner family skills, Hong Kui has a clever mind, and he is the fastest and best learner among a group of young eunuchs!

So ten years passed quickly, and Hong Kui had grown up. I don't know whether it was because of his nature or because of his martial arts training. Hong Kui was tall and muscular, with a resolute face. When he came out, this tall and mighty man was actually an eunuch.

However, such a figure is not useful in the palace. He is too tall to serve his master close to him. He can only do some clumsy work and be the lowest servant. At that time, Hong Kui only regarded himself as himself. He will stay in the palace like this for the rest of his life and be enslaved until he dies of old age.

Unexpectedly, someone summoned them to talk that day, and the person sitting upright on it was Chang Youyin...

"Cough cough..."

Hong Kui coughed twice, spat out two mouthfuls of black blood, and said to Mou Biao,
"A eunuch like me, who doesn't look like an eunuch, was picked out by him. First, I served him for two months, and then I was burned to death in a fire, and I just left the palace..."

"There is always silver?"

Mou Biao frowned,
"He... is the Empress Dowager's man... Could it be the Empress Dowager?"

Apart from Emperor Hongzhi at that time, the only people who could do this in the palace were the empress!

Hong Kui nodded,

"Yes, he belongs to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is also considered to be well-intentioned. She has been planning for her son many years ago..."

The Empress Dowager Zhang in this life is no luckier than the Empress Dowager Zhang in Mou Biao's previous life. She was favored by Emperor Hongzhi, and she loved Wu Jiwu very much. Empress Dowager Zhang has been disliked by Emperor Hongzhi since she got married. Empress Zhang is a smart woman. Knowing that the emperor has no intentions for her, she completely gave up her heart. After giving birth to the prince, she began to plan for her son wholeheartedly. This wealth and glory must be firmly grasped!
People like Hong Kui are the pawns she buried early!

"...We people go out of the palace to make money for the Empress Dowager, and to inquire about various news for the Empress Dowager. It is most convenient for me to travel north and south in the carriage..."

As for the original owner of the chariot and horse shop, of course he died at the hands of Hong Kui, and after he took over the chariot and horse shop, he expanded the business until now, Hong Kui let out a long sigh,
"I've been tired of this kind of life for so many years, and since the crown prince ascended the throne and became emperor, we old people are useless..."

In the past, it was necessary to collect money for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to support the various expenses of secretly buying and selling officials in the Eastern Palace. Now that the Crown Prince has become the emperor, he has naturally accepted everything from the old emperor. They are not so important. According to the Queen Mother In order to avoid being known in the future, these people either killed them, or replaced them with new ones, and sent them away far away. The new emperor hesitated for a while and did not do anything.

"...I know that although the emperor is hesitant, there will be such a day sooner or later, so I plan to escape from the capital. In just these few years, all the money I have collected outside has been handed over to the palace, but it is just a superficial Beautiful scenery, I want to find a place to live in seclusion in the countryside, I'm afraid I can't even afford a house, and it just happened to know that someone in Tongzhou has bought a lot of food, so I moved my mind..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Mou Biao and sighed,

"It's all fate! People like us have done evil in the previous life to become rootless people, and this life is the same in this life. I'm afraid they won't even be able to be rootless people in the next life!"

Mu Biao snorted coldly,
"You also know that you have nothing to do?"

Hong Kui didn't speak, but looked at the torch quietly, and said after a while,
"Go to Shuangjing Hutong in the south of the city to find a woman named Guixiang, and tell her that Hong Kui is dead, and she will give you the things I put in her place!"

"What is it?"

Mou Biao asked in a deep voice, Hong Kui turned his head and glanced at him with sarcasm,

"It's me who has written down all the evil things I have done for them over the years, Lord Mou...do you dare to read it?"

Mou Biao snorted but didn't speak, squatted there looking at him for a long time and asked,
"What do you want?"

Hong Kui thought for a while and said,

"I'd like to have a drink..."

again,

"There is a woman named Qu Ping'er in my back house. She is good at making canned meat, which is very similar to the taste of my hometown. Let her make it for me!"

In fact, Hong Kui had never eaten meat at home, but he vaguely remembered that once when he was young, he passed by a rich family in the village and smelled that meat was being cooked at his house. He didn’t have many childhood memories, but he still felt the smell of the meat. I remembered it for many years, and then I met Qu Ping'er who was buying food on the street. I felt that the meat she made was very similar to my childhood memory, so I took her into the back house and ate it for five years!
Hong Kui's meat and wine came in quickly, and he sat up with difficulty, eating meat and drinking heavily, while wiping the blood from his nostrils, there was no meat left in the big jar, and all the wine finished drinking...

While Hong Kui was eating meat and drinking, Mou Biao had already arrived at Shuangjing Hutong, and when he called to open the courtyard door at the end, an ordinary-looking woman came out to open the door. ,
"This official, do you dare to ask if you are looking for someone?"

Mou Biao replied,

"Looking for a woman named Guixiang..."

The woman looked him up and down, and replied doubtfully,
"The little woman is Gui Xiang. The little woman has never seen the official, so I don't know why the official is looking for the little woman?"
