Chapter 62 [062] Ten Constant Attendants
"Yes, is there anyone..."

Hearing Qin Yuesheng's question, the man immediately shouted, but for some unknown reason, his voice was very weak, as if he had been on a hunger strike for several days.

"Who are you?" Qin Yuesheng asked again.

"Peng Fei...the villagers of Pengqiao Village..."

"Are you imprisoned here by Village Chief Peng?"

"Yes……"

Qin Yuesheng reached out and grabbed the handle, and put the bucket down.

Then he grabbed the rope and jumped down, and fell steadily to the bottom of the well.

When he got close, Qin Yuesheng realized that this person was not only tied with iron chains, but also had two iron cones stuck on his shoulders, directly nailing his body to the wall of the well.

Such an injury would be unbearable even for an external martial artist. If the injury is not healed in time, there is basically no way to survive.

Qin Yuesheng looked at the two eroded wounds on Peng Fei's shoulders with a serious expression.

The iron awl was inserted into the opponent's shoulder for a long time, and no medicine was given to heal the injury. The degree of festering and inflammation was quite serious.

Looking at Peng Fei's pale face and dull eyes, even if Qin Yuesheng doesn't know medical skills, he can feel that he won't live long.

"Why did they lock you up here?" Qin Yuesheng stepped forward and cut off the iron cone on Peng Fei's back with the Suppressing Evil Knife, and then cut off the iron chains on his body one by one.

"Well, those two thieves wanted to sneak into Pengqiao Village. One of them was proficient in disguise. They killed Village Chief Peng and wanted to replace him, and forced me to explain various affairs in Pengqiao Village to them. It’s so convenient that they won’t be spotted by other villagers.”

"So it is." Qin Yue understood.

Lifting Peng Fei from the ground, Qin Yuesheng stretched out his fingers to catch his pulse, and suddenly felt that his breath was weak, and he might not last long.

"Young man, I know my situation. I'm not afraid of death, but I just can't let go of one thing. Can you ask the villagers for me after you get out to see if Xie Lan is still alive?"

Peng Fei was supported by Qin Yuesheng, and said with all his strength.

"Who is this Xie Lan?"

"It's my wife who has never been married. I don't know why the two thieves came to Pengqiao Village, but I once heard them talking about the need for some women as sacrifices. There are no other things in a hundred miles around Pengqiao Village." Village, I'm worried about Xie Lan..."

When Peng Fei said this, his voice became more and more silent. Looking at his eyes that were beginning to slacken, Qin Yuesheng nodded: "Okay, I will ask for you, but now I will take you out first."

"No need, young man, this is my family's ancestral house. After I die, if you know that Xie Lan is safe and sound, please ask her to come and bury my body in the backyard of the house. If something happens to her, You can completely seal this well, and let me sleep here forever."

Under Qin Yuesheng's eyes, Peng Fei raised his head to take a last look at the night sky on the well, his eyes gradually fell into dead silence.

"I'm sorry, young man."

After the flashback just now, his life was completely extinguished like a candle in the wind.

"Ah." Qin Yuesheng slowly put Peng Fei's body on the ground, and crawled back to the ground.

Regarding the matter of Peng Fei, he could only say that he felt a little regretful. If he had discovered him a day or two earlier, the result might have been different.

Running out of the peach blossom forest to find the body of 'Peng Village Chief', Qin Yuesheng immediately disassembled him.

Destroying corpses and eradicating traces, once and for all.

Fortunately this time, after the corpse of 'Peng Village Chief' was decomposed, a light cluster finally dropped.

Qin Yuesheng immediately crushed it, and immediately obtained a skill called 'Disguise Technique'.

"Good stuff." Qin Yuesheng nodded in satisfaction. In the future, the Almighty Essence can improve this ability, which will be of great help to him in some future actions that need to conceal his identity.

"Go and dispose of the bodies of those two ghouls, so that no one will know what happened tonight." Qin Yuesheng secretly said, and then sneaked into the night.

……

The next day.

After Qin Yuesheng got up together, he went out and asked a villager about Peng Fei and Xie Lan.

"That boy Peng Fei is a martial idiot, he can be regarded as the number one expert in our Pengqiao Village, but unfortunately he suddenly went crazy for some reason, and he didn't know where he went out.

His unmarried daughter-in-law is a foreigner. Some time ago, Village Chief Peng met a shopkeeper of Xiufang in Yangzhou Prefecture. He heard that there was a monthly salary of one tael for female workers and embroiderers. Xie Lan went there. Yes, we also went to a lot of girls in our village, and they were all brought by Village Chief Peng. "

The villagers carrying hoes boasted to Qin Yuesheng, completely ignoring his gloomy expression.

What Xiufang recruits workers, I'm afraid that all those girls have been sent to the spider's mouth to feed them.

"Where are Village Chief Peng and others now? Now that the matter in your village has been resolved, I should leave too. Before I leave, I want to say hello to him."

"Village chief?" The villager scratched his head: "I don't know, let me look for it for you, Qin Shaoxia."

"Well, thank you."

After the villagers left, Qin Yuesheng came to the courtyard located in the peach blossom forest as quickly as possible.

Looking at the dry well where Peng Fei's body was hidden.

Qin Yuesheng secretly said: "Most likely your wife is gone, I will follow your last wish, rest in peace."

Immediately, he slapped the edge of the well with his palm, and immediately a large amount of mud and rocks collapsed towards the rollers below. Under Qin Yuesheng's destruction, the land was completely flattened very quickly, and there was no longer any water well. past traces.

……

Outside Pengqiao Village.

"The hospitality is not good, Qin Shaoxia. The village chief is probably not in the village. We don't know where he will go. The main reason is that the village chief often goes out without saying hello. We are all used to it."

Several villagers escorted Qin Yuesheng out of the high wall. Everyone was very grateful to Qin Yuesheng for helping their village solve the problem of spiders eating people.

No, before Qin Yuesheng left, he insisted on sending him various farm specialties, such as native eggs, old duck, bacon, pickled vegetables and so on.

But Qin Yuesheng rejected them all.

"It's okay, I have to go back and report the details of this clue, so I will take my leave first, everyone will meet later."

Carrying the sack containing the upper body of the beauty spider to his shoulders, Qin Yuesheng clasped his hands to everyone, then turned and left Pengqiao Village.

Looking at Qin Yuesheng's back, all the villagers said with emotion: "What a conscientious and good man."

……

When I came here because of the chaotic mountains, I didn’t know the exact location of Pengqiao Village, so I needed someone to lead the way. Naturally, returning would not be so much trouble. The goal of Qingyang City is huge, Qin Yuesheng just needs to find the right direction and run out of Meteor Mountain. , don't worry about not finding the location of Qingyang City.

After returning to Qingyang City, Qin Yuesheng immediately went to the Yamen to show Bai Hao the things he brought back from Pengqiao Village.

And told the other party what he experienced in Pengqiao Village.

After hearing what Qin Yuesheng said, Bai Hao frowned immediately, and at the same time his face was gloomy: "A little deacon in the Jinyin Pavilion did such insane things in order to get in touch with the eunuch."

"Lord Bai, I have a doubt. Shouldn't eunuchs live in Chang'an City and be in charge of palace affairs? Why are there eunuchs working in Yangzhou Mansion?" Qin Yuesheng asked puzzled.

"This matter is complicated." Bai Hao rubbed his temples, put his hand on his chin and said:

"Today, His Majesty the Holy Majesty was a generation of wise rulers when he was young, and he was assisted by virtuous ministers "Lin Po" and "Lian Xiangru".
But ever since the Holy One was in his seventies, he gradually fell into the way of seeking pleasure, and was so addicted to it that he couldn't extricate himself from it.
He even forcibly recruited 20 young and strong and spent four years casting a golden city. There is a jewelry garden, where flowers, plants and trees are all carved with jade and gems, and a beauty palace, where thousands of beauties are waiting for the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

Among them, the wine pool meat forest is the most famous. The pool made of ice jadeite can accommodate hundreds of people to bathe in it at the same time. Once it is filled with fine wine, the aroma of the wine will soon spread throughout the entire Golden City.

In the meat forest, hundreds of imperial chefs cook all kinds of cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese and fish all year round. When they are ready, they are hung on the branches of iron trees, waiting for guests to take them down and enjoy them at will.

The literati often say, "The mellow wine pool makes people intoxicated, and the meat forest gluttons make people full", but it can't explain the [-]% of the happy and fairy-like days in the Golden City.
It is because the Holy Majesty is so indulgent and negligent in government affairs that the power of the eunuchs in the palace has quietly risen, taking root in the government and the opposition, and even to the point where they are now working behind the scenes. Many eunuchs have been sent from Chang'an to various places in the Tang Dynasty to serve as officials. "

Qin Yuesheng couldn't help being speechless: "There is such a thing. Then, Mr. Bai, what about the two virtuous ministers you mentioned earlier? The emperor is so absurd. As important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, they dare not meet and risk their lives to persuade them?"

"Alas." Bai Hao sighed leisurely: "Master Lian Xiangru passed away due to illness in Xiaoshu the year before last, and now the court is supported by Lord Lin Po alone, but the Holy One shuts him behind closed doors. One day even Master Lin Po will go, Datang is really in danger.

Don't look at the three kingdoms in the north, Liao, Jin, and Xixia, who are all surrendered to Datang and pay tribute every year. Once there is something wrong with Datang, they will immediately become evil hunters who hunt south and eat a few mouthfuls of flesh and blood from Datang. Wolf.

At that time, the people will really be in dire straits. "

"Does the Son of Heaven not care about this situation at all? After all, it is the hegemony handed down from the ancestors."

"With all the eunuchs blocking the outside for the sake of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty would not know what the current Tang Dynasty is like. All the 'heroes' should be counted on those ten eunuchs who are neither male nor female."

Qin Yuesheng said: "Ten eunuchs?"

"That's right, the ten beautiful eunuchs who have power in the court and accompany the Holy One in turn, and never leave day and night. They are the ancestors of all the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty. The princes, generals, and ministers of the court all call them... the ten permanent servants."
