Chapter 278: Taking Him Down

Yilungha many times wanted to pry open Zhang Anshi’s brain to see what exactly was in this guy’s head.

Because he realized that the guy’s brain was jumping around.

The way the vast majority of people in this era think doesn’t apply to him.

While you’re thinking about how to find a solution from the tropes, Zhang Anshi is forever finding another way.

Thinking ……

In fact, this is what makes Zhang Anshi different from the ancient people.

In this day and age, especially the top bunch, they are well read or have a horribly high emotional intelligence.

But their problem-solving attitude is always to try to find wisdom as well as methods from their ancestors.

This mentality of reverence for the past has become so deeply rooted in people’s hearts that it still leaves a lot of loose ends in later generations.

For example, when it comes to curing illnesses, even charlatans will put up the banner of ‘ancient recipes’ or call themselves old military doctors or something like that.

And Zhang Anshi is not unrespectful of the past, but he knows that the social formations of the past have changed, and a new way of thinking is necessary to find a solution.

This is in this era, belongs to the deviant, probably belongs to the parents hate to be born did not drown him type.

Zhang Anshi then began to ask about the situation in this palace.

How many eunuchs are there in the palace, which parts of the twelve supervisors have more power, and which parts of the palace none of the eunuchs like to go to.

Yiluoha answered one by one, then said, “Does Lord Wei really believe that there are people in the palace who want to plot against him?”

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s not that I believe it, but it must be so.”

Yiluoha frowned and sighed, “Ai, it’s all our fault, we didn’t watch over the family for His Majesty.”

Zhang Anshi said, “What does this have to do with you? This palace up and down 20,000 people, the eunuch can keep an eye on a few, that Jin Yi Wei …… I do not dare to pack a ticket, there is anyone who does not have the idea of scheming in the heart.”

Yiluoha rejoiced, “It is still the Duke of Wei who knows how to love people.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

This person …… is perverted, right?

Zhang Anshi can not stand also lost ha talking tone, well he quickly settled down, then said: “you first accompany me to walk in the palace, are introduced one or two.”

Yiluoha nodded, leading Zhang Anshi around while patiently introducing him.

In fact, Zhu Di’s palace exams, there is nothing hidden things, but because of the number of people, and is the center of the world’s power, naturally not less than a lot of strife.

Zhang Anshi listened on one side and pondered on the other.

“Why, what is the Lord of Wei thinking?”

Zhang Anshi said thoughtfully, “I was thinking, if …… there really is a person from the White Lotus Sect in the palace, then what will this person …… be like, I have to make a profile first.”

“Profiling?” Yiluoha was surprised and said, “What kind of profiling?”

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s …… having something in mind about the characteristics of these people. Let’s say, if I want to catch a thief, then first …… of all, I have to make a judgment about the thief’s characteristics based on his habits.”

“For example …… thieves tend to be observant, so is it more likely that the street would be filled with the kind of people who have uncertain eyes? Secondly, they must be dressed very plainly in order to hide their faces. Broken will not be polished to show people and attract attention. Furthermore, their families must be on the lower side, if not, they would not make a living out of it.”

Yizhu said, “But what if someone has silver in their house and loves this?”

Zhang Anshi looked at him breathlessly and said, “Are you not raising the bar? Then do I still have to say that someone with a solid family and an official position loves to be a eunuch and has to cut himself to enter the palace?”

Also lost Ha anxious, said: “This is not unheard of, when the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there is a country, said the Southern Han, where there is an emperor, only trust eunuchs, so everyone in order to seek office, or want to make their own high, this court ministers, have castrated themselves in order to get ahead, so that the Southern Han dynasty, all the eunuchs.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Is this day beyond chatting?

Seeing that he had stopped speaking, Yiluoha said with concern, “Duke Wei, why have you stopped speaking?”

Zhang Anshi sighed, “I’ve read few books, thanks for telling me, Your Excellency.”

Also lost ha heatedly smiled and said, “In fact, the slave girl did not read any books, the reason why I know this, because …… this is after all related to our eunuchs, so I remembered it.”

Zhang Anshi said, “I’ve seen other eunuchs, when it comes to eunuchs, they all seem to be jealous, but the eunuch doesn’t care about this.”

Castration for eunuchs, this is a strange shame, is a scar, so the general eunuchs are ashamed to mention this file, if you mention it in front of him, he will be anxious, such as Deng Jian.

Yiluoha is also pleasantly said: “What is there to be jealous of what has already happened? The body is less of a thing is less, people should be open to some, if the heart is everywhere in this taboo, that taboo, but is self-seeking trouble. People are not easy to live, we are these eunuchs for slaves and maidservants is not easy, but all beings in this world, and how many live at ease? Just some of the bitter, is hidden in the heart to say just.”

Zhang Anshi, however, was very disconcerted and said, “Alright, don’t pull away from the topic, talk about serious matters.”

Yiluoha this time the face is not too peaceful, into your Zhang Anshi, clearly just now is your first idle talk, now come to blame us.

Also lost ha said: “Wei Guo Gong have what you want to ask, but ask are no harm, we what to avoid are not.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Let’s wait for the screening over there first. By the way, why hasn’t King Yi come yet?”

Yi Wang Zhu finally came, he was still wearing the lieutenant’s uniform of the official school academy, but the official school academy, as a quasi Jin Yi Wei institution, the cadets in it, in fact, had been awarded lieutenants, the kind that counted as years of service.

Zhu went to meet Zhu Di and Empress Xu first.

As soon as Empress Xu saw Zhu, she was very happy to see him and waved at him, “I’m afraid that you’re suffering outside, take a look at you, you’re as thin as a monkey.”

Zhu then said, “Bitter it is, but what’s inside is quite interesting to learn.”

Zhu Di sat aside, slate face, glaring at him, “Well, well, Zhang Qing told you to come, go to give him a hand, after playing continue to go back to the academy to read, do not lose the face of the late emperor.”

Zhu Ben wanted to say, How dare you talk to your own brother like that?

Seeing that Zhu Di’s face was somewhat appalling, he said, “Yes, imperial brother, my younger brother will go now.”

He obediently went out, and behind him, he heard Empress Xu complaining about Zhu Di: “He is still a child, how can Your Majesty be so unsympathetic? What kind of brother is like an enemy?”

Zhu Di said, “That kid you give him three colors, he dares to open a dye house ……”

Zhu went and returned, saying, “Imperial brother, imperial sister-in-law, you should not talk about me behind my back.”

Chu: “……”

Judo: “I have sharp ears.”

Zhu Di waved his hand in a helpless manner, “Get lost, get lost, don’t talk about it, don’t talk about it.”

Zhu went to see Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi patted his shoulder and said affably, “How was it at the academy?”

Zhu Dao, “Chief Instructor, I am at the top of the list in all subjects.”

Zhang Anshi said with a pleased face, “Very good! Come, you follow me and tell me about the situation in the palace by the way.”

Also lost Ha on the side said, “Wei Guo Gong …… is it possible that we just did not say it clearly?”

Yiluoha looked disappointed, he had talked to Zhang Anshi about so many things in the palace, which could be considered as everything, but it turned out that Zhang Anshi had to go back to ask the Yi King again, which appeared to be less trusting of him.

Could it be that …… Zhang Anshi this guy still suspects us?

Zhang Anshi, however, smiled and said, ”This is something you don’t understand! The situation in the palace is different under different people’s eyes. You are a eunuch, he is a feudal lord who grew up in the palace, the perspective is different.”

Zhang Anshi said, finding a stone bench to sit down in this imperial garden.

Yi Wang Zhu said, “Which aspect of the matter do you want to hear about?”

“Which side do you know?”

Yi Wang Zhu thought for a moment and said, “You want to hear about your royal brother’s sleeping too?”

Yiluoha’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, “Your Highness, you can’t say that, you can’t talk nonsense.”

Zhang Anshi said angrily, “Eunuch, we are doing serious business, can you not always interrupt to butt in?”

Yizhar fell silent.

Chu then began to colorfully talk about it.

However, it must be said that Yiluoha’s knowledge of the palace was mostly some observations about the rules of the palace, the duties of the eunuchs, and some of the eunuchs who acted oddly in the palace.

But Zhu is not the same, what this guy knows, is mostly all kinds of gossip, so much so that he even knows the right food situation in the palace.

Zhang Anshi listened to a big cry, at this time he had to admire Zhu, couldn’t help but say, “How do you know what people do behind closed doors? It won’t be made up, right?”

Zhu Shenqi said, ”Back when my father was still around, he told the minister what he had done last night, scaring that minister half to death, so it turned out that what was said and done during the night, the next day, the emperor knew exactly. What’s so fishy about me knowing these things? I even know who has a mole on his hip.”

Yiluoha was shocked to hear this and subconsciously covered his buttocks and looked at Zhu in horror.

Zhang Anshi, on the contrary, rejoiced, “Not bad, not bad, Your Highness, King Yi, will have great success in the future.”

Yizhuoha laughed bitterly at the side, “Well, this is not the time to talk about this, if there is really an outlaw in the palace ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t be in a hurry, it’s almost time.”

Said …… Zhang Anshi stood up and said, “Go to the Secretary’s office.”

At the head of the Secret Service, dozens of lieutenants were busy.

Chen Daowen cleared the roster, circling all the suspicious ones.

Finally, a directory was delivered to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi saw that the first word on the list was Yiluoha.

Yiluoha was still there, cocking his head, trying to see what was written inside.

Zhang Anshi then busily turned away from him.

Zhang Anshi said, “Eunuch Yiluoha, go out for a moment, I want to discuss this with Chen Baihu, or Yi Wang.”

Yiluoha shook his head, then said, “Then if you have any orders, just call us, no need to be polite.”

Zhang Anshi said very directly, “Your Excellency knows me, I’m a person who doesn’t know what politeness is at all.”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

Yizhuoha went out of the Siren and waited for more than an hour.

But at this moment, suddenly Zhang Anshi walked out, patted Yilungha’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “There’s an eyebrow.”

“And there is an eyebrow?” Yizhu said, “Who is it?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Please do the eunuch a favor and gather some eunuchs for me to come and arrest someone in the big house, it’s not good for the Jinyiwei’s lieutenants to come and do it, we’ll just watch from the sidelines, it’s better to do it from your side.”

Yiluoha then busily said, “Okay, let’s go find someone.”

After a while, a dozen young and strong eunuchs were on standby.

Zhang Anshi waved his hand, “Come with me, oh, Your Highness Yi Wang, you know the way better, you lead the way in front.”

Zhu was greatly energized at this point and hurriedly led the way ahead.

This big inner covers a huge area, ordinary people go in, almost dizzy, but Zhu is familiar with the way, the group of people through it, and finally stopped in a courtyard.

Yiluoha knows where this is, this is the Du Zhi Jiu, Du Zhi Jiu’s duty is to master the palace monitors line transfer, Guan Zhi, Kan Hop, but also serve as the emperor’s guide to police tours.

Also lost Ha immediately began to think of some acquaintances in this Du Zhi Supervision, the heart muttered, is not …… there are people who believe in that White Lotus religion?

His expression couldn’t help but stare.

Zhang Anshi turned back, look at a glance also lost ha: “Let someone go to ask, this Cui Yinghao is here?”

Choi Young-ho ……

Yiluoha has an impression of this person, this person is the Secretary of the Duzhi Supervision, is also considered to be an important figure in the supervisor, usually very honest, do not talk too much to people.

I didn’t realize it was this person!

So Yiluoha hastily gave a wink to the eunuch at the side.

A moment later, the eunuch went and returned, “Back to the words of the Grand Eunuch, Eunuch Cui he …… went to Consort Liu ……”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Also lost Ha Road: “In fact, really want to find this person, let us know a bit, teach him to the Secretary to come on the line, this palace is big, eunuchs duties and uncertainty, such as this all know the supervision of the Cui Yinghao, he is the Secretary, is responsible for the palace line transfer, but also about the transmission of knowledge, people do not know where it.”

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s fine, I’m just afraid that he might have noticed beforehand and run away, let’s go, go find him.”

Yiluoha nodded, and the group went to one of the chambers.

Just to the bedchamber outside, Zhang Anshi and others will not be able to go in, but also lost Ha sympathetic Zhang Anshi, so ordered: “Go to Cui Yinghao that slave girl, to us to catch out.”

“Here.”

Eunuchs are like this, but where there is someone to back them up, they feel that their backs are straight, at the same time a group of people like castrated tigers and wolves, rushed in, and a few moments later, seven hands and eight feet to pull a eunuch out.

This eunuch cried out, “What are you doing, what are you doing! You guys have big guts, big guts ……”

He kept calling for help, and when he saw Yizhuoha, he said urgently, “Great Eunuch, Great Eunuch, you save me, save me.”

Also lost Ha only cold smile, do not look at him, but lightly said: “Where there is a capable person, who will enter the palace as a slave girl ah! So we have always said, this palace don’t look at some people five people six, but in fact ah …… are losers. We are losers, you are also, if not, early in the palace outside the head of the wind and water, and then how, can also save their own eggs.”

“The reason why we can be five and six, and can be decent, is not because we have any outstanding, but because …… His Majesty has taken only one thing from us, and that is loyalty. With this loyalty, even if we are no matter how incompetent, no matter how rotten mud can’t help the wall, the palace will also give a mouthful of food, teach him not to starve, not to freeze.”

Said here, also lost Ha paused, then the voice is much higher, said: “But some people …… have eaten their fill, people five and six, they really think they have the ability to think that they are not good, so even this one loyalty are forgotten, such a person, we are not lazy to discuss his character, but only know that he is not far away from death. know that he is not far from death.”

Cui Yinghao heard, then prostrate at the feet of the also lost Ha, constantly kowtow: “slave girl if you make any mistakes, the big eunuchs you teach slave girl is, slave girl to you kowtow, who do not know, this palace, only the big eunuchs you are the most kind-hearted, since the compassionate us these slave girl …… ”

Also lost ha sneered, said, “Heh …… pity, you are not guilty in our hands, beg us also useless, Wei Guo Gong, he will be handed over to you.”

Only then did Cui Yinghao notice Zhang Anshi, so he busily kowtowed again, “Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths ah …… slave girl did not do anything wrong ah, slave girl ……”

He said, constantly kowtowing to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said coldly, “Don’t put on a show, save a few tears, when the time comes there will naturally be a place to cry, answer honestly.”

There’s a big fuss over here.

So much so …… that the two consorts who were right there in the bedchamber, also walked out, the two of them, before and after.

One is Consort Liu and the other is Consort Kim.

This Liu Fei looks a little unhappy, mainly someone from her bedchamber to catch people. However, she came closer, and when she reached a few feet away, she paced, but she didn’t say anything, and only set her pretty face as cold as frost in general.

Yiluoha, on the other hand, put on a smiling face and greeted her, saluting Consort Liu, saying, “The slave girl has met the two empresses.”

The Golden Concubine nodded her head gently toward Yilsha, clearly in awe of him.

But Concubine Liu’s temper was not very good as she said, “What’s going on?”

Yizhuoha said, “A rebel was captured.”

Concubine Liu said with dissatisfaction, “Cui Yinghao has come out of the woodwork and has become a rebel. Since we have taken the rebellious party, why do we still have ……”

She glanced at Zhang Anshi and these people from afar.

Also lost ha said, “This is the meaning of His Majesty, that the White Lotus Sect …… is really hateful, and even has someone in the palace, His Majesty for the sake of the safety and security of the palace, licensed them to come into the palace to investigate and deal with, this is not also for the peace of mind of the ladies?”

Concubine Liu said: “Check to check, the real thieves did not check, but all look for honest people to bully. Cui Yinghao such a diligent person, usually also loyal, this turn of the eye, into a rebellious party, it will not be someone, staring at his Du Zhi Jianshu position.”

Yiluoha smiled and said, “Your Highness, look at what you’re saying, up and down the line, who would dare to joke about the chaotic party.”

Concubine Yoo looked indignant and quite intent on protecting Choi Young Ho.

On the side of the golden consort but smiled sweetly and said, “Sister …… forget it, this is the matter of their slave girl, let them go.”

Concubine Liu said, “Of course let them go, where is the turn for us unseen women to make the decisions in the palace? Now it’s good that men can strut in and out of the palace and hang around in front of us, which dynasty and which generation, and have never heard of it.”

Yiluoha said, “When Yuan Chengzong was around, the court …… allowed the ministers to enter the palace to drink, sometimes even all night ……”

Princess Liu: “……”

The Golden Concubine, however, smiled, “Well, sister …… let s go back to the temple.”

On the other side, Zhang Anshi had been waiting for this Choi Young-ho’s howling voice to go mute and slowly stop crying, but instead of taking him away, he looked at him and said, “Alright, can you talk now?”

Choi Young Ho put on a horrified expression and said, “The slave …… servant has nothing to say.”

Zhang Anshi said, “There is nothing to say? It seems that you are not going to shed a tear until you see the coffin, do you have to go down to the imperial prison before you are willing to say all the words clearly?”

Choi Young-ho cried out, “What has the slave girl done?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Colluding with the White Lotus Sect and plotting against His Majesty.”

Cui Yinghao as if struck by lightning, the whole person almost paralyzed, he desperately shook his head: “This crime, this crime …… slave girl can not afford to bear ah, Duke Wei, you will spare the slave girl, slave girl guts small.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “It seems that you have to be tortured before you’re willing to talk.”

But at that moment, a group was coming this way.

It turns out that this side of the commotion is big, noisy to the distant Queen Xu’s bedchamber, asked the reason, said Zhang Anshi caught people, Zhu Di immediately came in high spirits.

Upon Zhu’s arrival, Yiluoha, Consort Liu and Consort Jin all went to meet him.

Zhu Di said: “Well, there are so many people love to watch the fun.”

Concubine Liu said, “Your Majesty …… this ………… which is like this.”

Zhu only smiled and didn’t say anything.

Concubine Liu was then too frightened to say anything more.

Concubine Jin said, “Your Majesty, my subjects and others, leave first.”

Zhu waved his hand, “Since you like to see, just take a look, there’s nothing wrong with this, inside the big house, it’s strangely cold, it’s rare to have a lively look.”

Concubine Liu and Concubine Jin then stood on Zhu Di’s side.

Zhu Di stepped forward and saw that Zhang Anshi also wanted to come and greet him, but he pressed his hand, signaling Zhang Anshi to continue.

Only then did Zhang Anshi return his gaze back to Cui Yinghao and bellowed, “Cui Yinghao, you still want to deny it, don’t you?”

Cui Yinghao saw that he had also alarmed the emperor and had long been scared out of his wits.

He stammered, “Who are we …… we …… who are you to say that the slave girl ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “It’s very simple, you go out of the palace every now and then, because you are responsible for traveling and moving, and sometimes you need to go outside the palace to run errands.”

“There are many eunuchs out of the palace.”

Zhang Anshi said, “It seems …… that you want to deny it to the end. See you are really do not know my awesome ah! Originally, I still saw you as pitiful and could give you a pain in the ass then, but now I see that it is unnecessary.”

This Choi Young-ho had a six-pointed look on his face.

It’s actually all nailed down.

Since people had suddenly found their way to his head, and had straightened out his crimes.

It can’t be empty.

He prostrated himself on the ground and tried to deny it at first.

But then it got more and more scary.

Zhu was finally able to straighten himself out at this point, “I advise you not to be ungrateful.”

Cui Yinghao’s face was ashen: “Just say this, and say that we have passed on to the White Lotus Sect and colluded with them …… this …… this …… slave girl ……”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Then I’ll give you another hint, you go out of the palace two times in three days, it can indeed be said that it is official business, but you go in and out of the palace forbidden, should also give back to the guards who keep the door, stuffed with silver right.”

Choi Young-ho’s face changed.

Zhang Anshi said, “Why would a normal person, entering or leaving the palace, stuff silver? There must be something that they don’t want to be searched.”

Cui Yinghao said, “This …… this is also a common thing, sometimes …… to bring some of the things outside the palace head in, the palace has a lot of people do this, this is all prohibited things, but still with the White Lotus Church has nothing to do. ”

Zhang Anshi said, “Then gambling money, you in the palace, out of the money, lost a few hundred taels of silver, the brow does not frown, everyone says you are generous, you the Secretary of the Department of the book, is not considered fat, so much money, where is it from?”

Choi Young Ho’s face grew worse and worse, and subconsciously said, “How did you know that we …… we ……”

Zhang Anshi said angrily, “I’m the one asking you now.”

Choi Young Ho’s face was ashen: “We …… came here from our greed.”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “If it’s greed and ink, it’s very good to check, you just need to explain who sent you the silver, and the two pairs will reveal the cloven foot.”

Choi Young Ho said, “It is …… us who stole from the palace and chucked it out …… to sell ……”

“Even more unlikely.” Zhang Anshi said, “There is selling there is buying, you name any buyer, the brocade guards can follow the vine to find the melon people will be pulled out, not to mention, where you sell, with what method of trading ……”

Choi Young-ho blushed even worse.

Zhang Anshi said, “You can’t say it, can you? Well then, it’s better for me to say it.”

Zhang Anshi said and took out a piece of silver out.

This Cui Yinghao looked up, saw the silver, and was confused.

Zhang Anshi said, “This piece of silver is what you stuffed into the guards, and …… some of this was seized from your bedchamber.”

Zhang Anshi took another piece, “Such silver, in your bedchamber, there are half a box …… of it.”

Choi Young-ho said, “It’s …… just selling …… selling ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Silver and silver are not the same, for example, your silver, look at the color, the surface has some traces of corrosion, do you know why? In general, in my Daming, by the sea, silver is often so. This is because by the sea, many people will inevitably be stained with some seawater, coupled with the corrosion of the sea breeze, prone to such a situation. In addition to this, you this color of silver, more than the craftsmanship of silver making in Shandong side, Shandong side, there is a place, called Shanxian, this county’s silver refining technology is very outstanding, the quality is very good, the color is also a first class ……”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “And …… the White Lotus Church side, searched a lot of silver, are they raided the people’s wealth, and then to the single county melting, Cui Yinghao …… will not, this is also a coincidence. ”

Cui Yinghao shivered and shivered coldly: “We …… we …… slave servant …… slave servant ten thousand deaths, slave servant damned ah, slave servant fell into those White Lotus sect of Dog thieves when, slave girl ……”

Zhang Anshi laughed.

Zhu Di’s eyes also put light out as he let out a long sigh of relief.

But at this time said, “But …… Cui Yinghao, in fact, you are not at all the White Lotus Sect’s chaotic party, the real chaotic party …… is actually here …… ”

Zhang Anshi said, towards Yilungha, “Eunuch, help me get another person.”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

Zhu froze, and at that moment, he felt his brain hurt.
