Chapter 69 Better to Kill by Mistake

The accompanying eunuchs saw that the eunuch of the Yinfang suddenly lost his temper, and they didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of implicating themselves.

After a long time, Wei Chengji slowly calmed down and suppressed his anger again.

"Since the mastermind Huang Shan is dead, how should Xiao Dengzi be dealt with?"

Hearing this, the accompanying eunuchs immediately became energetic.

As the eunuch of the Yinfang, Wei Chengji would not have no ideas, and more importantly, he would say something through their mouths.

"Eunuch, that Xiao Dengzi helped Huang Shan to make trouble in Yanqu Hall, and he didn't take you seriously at all."

"Although this fire has nothing to do with him, he must be severely punished to deter other people's evil intentions."

The kneeling Xiao Tengzi answered first, and waved his hand to make a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Hmm..."

Wei Chengji hesitated and said with embarrassment: "But Xiao Dengzi did save Wang Cairen after all. Our family is the most fair. We reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes."

"Although Xiao Dengzi has made mistakes, he has also made contributions. It really makes our family embarrassed."

Wei Chengji rubbed his eyebrows and hesitated.

But the eunuchs who accompanied Wei Chengji for a long time naturally heard the hidden meaning of his words.

Someone immediately spoke before Xiao Tengzi: "As the eunuch said, Xiao Dengzi has merits, but he also has faults."

"And his merits do not outweigh his faults!"

"Yanqu Palace suffered such a disaster because of him and Huang Shan. The eunuch does not know how much responsibility he will bear for them. If he does not punish them severely, it may be difficult to convince the public."

"We must also feel sad for the eunuch. It will be difficult for us to be alone in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the other eunuchs who accompanied him knelt down and shouted together: "Eunuch, think twice!"

Each of them acted out the expression of "the pain in the eunuch's body is in my heart" to perfection.

Xiao Tengzi was beaten to the punch by someone and glared at the man, but there was nothing he could do except shouting to show his loyalty.

"Alas, it seems that even for you, our family has to punish the lifesaver of Wang Cairen."

Wei Chengji looked helpless.

"Eunuch, you worry too much. After all, Wang Cairen is just a talented woman. Her life is not worth comparing with the turmoil in Yanqu Palace."

"Everything Eunuch does is to give Yanqu Palace a peaceful future."

Wei Chengji nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, go down and arrange this matter."

"Remember not to touch him today, wait until you have dealt with the inquiries from above."

The eunuchs accompanying him immediately took the order and left.

...

Li Xuan listened for a long time on the tree outside the door, and couldn't help but think that it was bad.

He never thought that Wei Chengji would be so insidious, and he didn't intend to let Deng Weixian go after finding out the truth.

"Is this old eunuch venting his anger, or is he still suspicious?"

But no matter what, Deng Weixian is in danger now.

Although he will be spared today, what about the day after tomorrow?

According to Wei Chengji, he plans to deal with the inquiries from above and wait until Deng Weixian loses his function to deal with him.

"It's troublesome. I wonder if godfather expected this?"

He left the place quickly and headed for the firewood room where Deng Weixian was imprisoned.

Li Xuan had visited Deng Weixian last night. He was not troubled, but his personal freedom was restricted.

The firewood room where Deng Weixian was imprisoned was not big, with only one door and window leading to the outside world.

Two eunuchs accompanying Wei Chengji stood at the door, guarding it.

But fortunately, the window was on the back wall.

Li Xuan climbed to the window and looked inside through the gap.

The window of the firewood room was not a paper window, but a few iron bars.

Through the gap in the iron bars, Li Xuan saw Deng Weixian inside at once.

Deng Weixian sat cross-legged in meditation, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and a layer of skin peeled off his lips.

He had not eaten or drunk since he was arrested last night.

But because he had not been hungry for a long time, it did not affect his condition too much.

"Fortunately, it shouldn't be a problem for little Dengzi to hold on for a few more days."

"The rest depends on how to escape the clutches of Yinfang Eunuch."

Nominally, Deng Weixian is still a little eunuch belonging to Yanqu Hall.

According to the rules, Yinfang Eunuch can do whatever he wants to him.

There are many people who die suddenly every day in this palace, and the causes of death are also strange, so Deng Weixian is not the only one.

"With his godfather's ability, I'm afraid it won't take long for him to know the current situation."

"But be prepared for the worst."

Thinking so, Li Xuan jumped down from the window and planned to go to the kitchen to get some food for Deng Weixian.

He had seen Deng Weixian's fierce expression towards Wei Chengji carefully before.

This kid usually looks quite stable, but he is also impulsive.

And he dared to fight with Wei Chengji, who was much stronger than him. Deng Weixian is also a bit bloody.

Li Xuan was heading to the kitchen, but he heard a noise halfway and couldn't help looking in the direction of the sound.

Yanqu Hall, at the palace gate.

"Everyone in Yanqu Palace, welcome General Manager Zhao!"

Led by Wei Chengji, all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, more solemnly than the last time Zhao Bugao came.

They welcomed an old eunuch in a gorgeous flowery dress.

This flowery dress was several times more gorgeous than the one worn by General Manager Shang. It had dense patterns and special silver edges. It was finely crafted and worth a lot of money.

"This flowery dress!?"

Li Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

The old eunuch had gray hair on his temples, a thin body, and a kind expression. He looked like an ordinary, gaunt old man.

The old eunuch stepped forward and helped Wei Chengji up, then blamed him, "Oh, Aji, we have been friends for so many years, and you are still playing this trick with me."

The old eunuch smiled, and there was no blame at all. Instead, it seemed more like a joke.

If you don't know, you would think that the relationship between these two people is very good.

The old eunuch's voice was deep and powerful, not at all like the eunuch's shrill voice, but it was quite unique in this palace.

"General Manager Zhao, the rules cannot be abolished."

After being helped up, Wei Chengji maintained a humble posture with his head bowed, appearing extremely respectful.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want."

"Aji, take me to see where the trouble happened."

Wei Chengji was about to lead the way, but Zhao Bugao behind the old eunuch popped up and interrupted:

"Although godfather helped eunuch Wei deal with it with His Majesty last night, we still need to clarify it so that we can feel more at ease."

"Otherwise, if His Majesty blames it in the future, it will be my godfather's fault."

"Is that right, Eunuch Wei?"

Hearing this, Wei Chengji sighed in his heart, bowed his head, and saluted.

"General Manager Zhao, Wei Chengji will remember this favor in his heart. If you have any orders in the future, he will never refuse."

It turned out that this old eunuch was the most important eunuch in the palace, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhao Bugao's godfather, Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng glanced at Zhao Bugao and shook his head, saying, "How can you have a say?"

"My son has overstepped the boundaries. Please punish me, godfather!"

Zhao Bugao stepped aside obediently and dared not say anything more.

Zhao Feng saw that he had calmed down, so he did not argue with his adopted son and helped Wei Chengji up.

"Don't be so polite. We don't have to be like this."

"After so many years, you and I are the only ones left who entered the palace at the same time."

"Thanks to you, I am not too lonely."

Zhao Feng's face was full of sincere smiles.

But Wei Chengji did not even have the courage to look up.

Thanks to "Qiu Shu", "Naughty Duo Duo", "Taotie Da Gun Tun Tian", "Wang Hengchen", and "Mobile 7" for their monthly ticket support.
