Chapter 167: The Little Overlord of Yanqu Palace
"Oh my god——"
"Aji, you are so old, but you still have such a hot temper."
"I didn't say the word assassination, but the person involved complained to me."
Zhao Feng said calmly.
It was really like someone handed him a pillow when he was sleepy. He hadn't figured out how to deal with Wei Chengji next, but something happened in Yanqu Hall.
It was really such a coincidence.
Wei Chengji understood it as soon as he heard it.
"It was Concubine Wang who told you."
"Don't worry about who told me, this matter still needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
"We have been friends for so many years, don't say that I don't give you face."
"In this way, you hand over the eunuchs involved as soon as possible, and let them confess the mastermind, and I can naturally help you cover up this matter."
"Otherwise..."
Zhao Feng said this, suddenly paused for a moment, and suddenly talked about something else.
"It will be a few days before Concubine Wang's next visit to the emperor's bedchamber."
"If His Majesty asks about this, I won't be able to explain it."
"Is that right, Aji?"
Wei Chengji narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across them.
He didn't expect Wang Suyue to hook up with Zhao Feng so quickly.
The two of them probably didn't have much friendship before, and Zhao Feng was even less familiar with the Zhongwu General's Mansion.
But what Wei Chengji didn't know was that since the last time Zhao Feng stepped in to help Feng Zhaoyuan and favored the nobles.
Although this incident became a crisis for Zhao Feng, it also brought him closer to the nobles.
Regardless of Zhao Feng's purpose, the help at that time could not be faked.
Otherwise, the punishments for Feng Zhaoyuan and Concubine Zhao Shu would be much more severe than now.
Although the concubines on the noble side need to keep a low profile for a while, they have not lost all their advantages.
On the contrary, they have maintained a considerable amount of manpower.
After a while, the nobles will still be the ones who dominate the civil officials in the harem.
This matter was also used well by the concubines of the nobles.
Yesterday, Wang Suyue asked Liang Chuchu to bribe the medical officer with silver and asked him not to mention Deng Weixian's injury to anyone for the time being.
The medical officer didn't have to lie, just shut up for half a day, and he could get a heavy ingot of silver, which was naturally not a bad thing.
Moreover, the medical officer knew Wang Suyue and knew that her identity was extraordinary, and she was the most favored talent recently, so he had to give her this face.
After Wang Suyue did a good job of keeping it secret for the time being, she sent someone to Feng Zhaoyuan to tell her plan.
She wanted to use the incident of Deng Weixian being attacked to put eye drops on Wei Chengji.
But after all, it was the first time to plan such a thing, so she couldn't help but ask her cousin for advice to see if there were any omissions in the plan.
Feng Zhaoyuan was indeed put in solitary confinement, but the servants of Suliuyuan were not.
Therefore, it was no problem to pass a message through the servants.
Feng Zhaoyuan affirmed Wang Suyue's plan.
Among the concubines of the nobles, two important figures, Zhao Shufei and Feng Zhaoyuan, had to keep a low profile, but they could keep Wang Suyue active.
Wang Suyue was affected by them and postponed the opportunity to move into Caiyun Palace and get a promotion.
But with her family background and ability, it was only a matter of time for her to become a concubine.
Taking advantage of this time, it would be no problem to gain more experience in the novice village of Yanqu Hall.
Anyway, if something happened in Yanqu Hall, it would not cause much trouble.
And Feng Zhaoyuan also gave Wang Suyue a trick, asking her to bring Zhao Feng along.
Everyone in the palace had heard about Zhao Feng's targeting of Wei Chengji.
First, to find a helper for Wang Suyue, second, to repay a small favor, and third, to deepen the relationship between them.
If it could be confirmed that Zhao Feng favored the nobles, it would be the best.
Anyway, Zhao Feng is now in trouble, so it is better to go all the way and directly pull him to their side.
It would be good if he could be pulled in.
After all, Zhao Feng is the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and nominally the top eunuch in the palace.
Add to that his unfathomable former chief steward godfather, and it's a buy one get one free deal.
It doesn't matter if he can't be pulled in.
No matter what the facts are, some rumors can naturally deter some people who don't know the truth.
Wang Suyue listened to the guidance of Feng Zhaoyuan, an old hand, and immediately agreed with it.
That's why Zhao Feng came to trouble Wei Chengji early this morning.
And Zhao Feng knows more about the situation than Wang Suyue.
Every eunuch has his own base camp, which is their own foundation.
Zhao Feng's base camp is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Wei Chengji's base camp is in Yanqu Hall.
Such a thing happened in his own base camp, and Zhao Feng didn't believe that Wei Chengji knew nothing about it.
He might even be involved to a certain extent.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to let Wei Chengji hand over the eunuchs involved and ask who the mastermind was.
In Zhao Feng's opinion, if this matter was investigated, Wei Chengji would definitely be in big trouble again.
Wei Chengji was eager to establish his authority, and so was Zhao Feng.
If he could overthrow a great eunuch in a short period of time, others would naturally stop because they would be afraid of the consequences.
In this way, Zhao Feng could give Emperor Yongyuan a perfect answer sheet more quickly.
Wei Chengji's chest rose and fell slightly, and he stared at Zhao Feng and could not speak.
After a long time, he spoke: "I have already told you that it is just a conflict between a few eunuchs."
"There is no mastermind, don't think too much."
Wei Chengji had a guilty conscience and smelled the smell immediately, knowing what Zhao Feng was planning.
He thought to himself: "This is my territory, this old man underestimates me too much."
Zhao Feng was still smiling, and seemed to not care about Wei Chengji's impatience at all.
"Then let me interrogate these young eunuchs and see what the conflict is that caused the voices of 'murder, murder' to echo around your Yanqu Hall."
Zhao Feng's frivolous manner made Wei Chengji's face darken.
Yesterday's chaos was indeed outrageous, and even Wei Chengji was unwilling to mention it.
It was not easy for Wei Chengji to refuse this matter.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs had such a responsibility.
But Wei Chengji had been prepared for this matter, so he was relieved to let Zhao Feng interrogate it.
He winked at the eunuchs accompanying him, and two of them turned around and left immediately, looking like they were going to pick up someone.
Seeing Wei Chengji cooperating obediently, Zhao Feng did not urge him, but chatted and laughed with Wei Chengji.
It's just that Wei Chengji didn't pay much attention to him.
Looking at the two old men off the court, Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
As long as Zhao Feng was there, the struggle hidden in the bloody storm could be seen so funny.
After a while, several eunuchs were brought up.
Two of them had thick gauze wrapped around their chests, just like wearing tube tops.
Li Xuan had a deep memory of them, especially the two who wore tube tops.
These eunuchs were the ones who provoked Deng Weixian yesterday, and the two unlucky guys were injured in the chest when Deng Weixian broke through.
These two people had no cultivation, so Deng Weixian didn't want to cause a death at that time, but just tore the wound more horribly to scare others.
Otherwise, these two people would definitely not be alive now.
These eunuchs who were brought up were all pale and terrified, and it was obvious that they were well entertained by Wei Chengji for a whole night.
Zhao Feng knew what was going on when he saw their behavior, but he still asked, "Tell me, what conflicts do you have with Xiao Dengzi that have caused such a commotion?"
"Fighting in broad daylight in Yanqu Hall, turning the world upside down."
"Do you really think Eunuch Wei is dead?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chengji couldn't help but glare at Zhao Feng, cursing in his heart, "If you can't speak, don't speak!"
The eunuchs were even more flustered after being frightened by Zhao Feng. They kowtowed and muttered, "General Manager Zhao, spare me, spare me..."
"We are the ones who are wronged!"
"We were walking on the road that day, but Xiao Dengzi called us into the alley."
"Xiao Dengzi said that he was short of money these days, so he asked us to take out all the money we had and lend it to him for emergency, and he would pay us back in a few days."
"Xiao Dengzi is now a favorite of Wang Cairen, and everyone in Yanqu Palace knows him."
"We are just rootless duckweed who have done odd jobs in Yanqu Palace for several years, so how dare we mess with him."
"Of course, those who have money will pay, and we just want Xiao Dengzi to let us go."
Several eunuchs talked to each other, as if they were trying hard to recall the situation that day.
And Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping from a distance, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Oh, so Xiao Dengzi is the little bully of Yanqu Palace, bullying you little eunuchs and robbing your money, right?"
They all said it truthfully, interspersed with each other's memories, and supplemented each other's details from time to time.
If Li Xuan hadn't seen it with his own eyes that day, he would have thought that Xiao Dengzi had learned to be bad a long time ago.
"People in this palace are really not embarrassed at all when they lie."
Li Xuan found that it seemed that in this palace, lying was just the most basic skill, and anyone could do such an amazing job.
Zhao Feng just listened with a smile and nodded from time to time.
Wei Chengji sneered secretly, to see what Zhao Feng could find.
The eunuchs became more and more excited as they spoke, and they began to cry.
"But, but they didn't have any money on them."
"Little Dengzi couldn't stand such words, and he was furious immediately."
"You shouted that since you don't have money to pay the debt, you can use your body to pay it back."
"We don't understand when we owed money to Little Dengzi."
"We only saw Little Dengzi tearing their clothes, and then, then..."
The eunuch hesitated and couldn't say anything.
And the two eunuchs who were wrapped in gauze like a bra seemed to be reminded of sad things, covering their faces and crying bitterly, miserable and miserable.
The timing was just right, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
At this point, Zhao Feng could no longer laugh, and Li Xuan on the wall fell into deep silence.
"It's just that Xiao Dengzi played too wildly and cut the two of them into pieces."
"After seeing the blood, we were all scared and shouted for help."
"As a result, Xiao Dengzi suddenly shouted too, slapped himself twice, rubbed himself a little blood, and ran out of the alley before us."
"Later, we didn't know what happened, and the eunuch in the Yinfang arrested us, but Xiao Dengzi returned home safely."
"General Manager Zhao, everything we said is true."
"You have to make the decision for us!"
"Woo woo woo--"
Several eunuchs cried together, and they cried miserably.
"Ah?"
Li Xuan widened his cat eyes, leaned back unconsciously, and asked a big question.
He knew that these eunuchs were making up lies, but they were not so outrageous!
Zhao Feng also looked at Wei Chengji beside him speechlessly, his eyes full of fear.
"Good guy, you have made some progress over the years."
"You are no longer the same Aji!"
Wei Chengji saw Zhao Feng's speechless look, and couldn't help but sneered, thinking in his heart:
"Fight me!"
