Directorate of Palace Attendants.
Two rows of servants were waiting at the door, all wearing the lowest-grade gray clothes.
Everyone has asked about it a long time ago. The new Director Yi has not received the official robe yet. When the time comes, I will see you wearing it beautifully and I will feel jealous.
The spring breeze in March was no longer cold, but the waiter who was waiting felt chilly in his heart.
When a new official takes office, someone is bound to act like a chicken. Maybe they are not pleasing to the eye.
It's like a random draw, and the winner will die.
Psychological fear is more torturous than torture!
Three poles in the sun.
No matter how much the waiting waiter scolded him in his heart, he did not show any anxiety on the surface. Instead, he glanced left and right at his colleagues, and whoever showed dissatisfaction would turn around and make a report.
If your colleague dies, then you don't have to draw lots!
Not yet.
The sound of footsteps came, and the servants followed the sound.
A dozen figures came towards Directorate of Palace Attendants, headed by the new admiral Eunuch Yi. Others were also familiar, including Eunuch Wen from the study, Eunuch Shen from the kitchen, Eunuch Yu who was in charge of the castration...
Directorate of Palace Attendants The old man is one or two generations older than the waiter at the door.
On weekdays, these old eunuchs are not conspicuous and do not fight for power. The successive admirals will not reuse them, but promote their young godsons.
Zhou Yi spoke to Eunuch Wen in a low voice, saying "Sir" every time he spoke, making the old eunuch Jiejie laugh strangely.
Without even looking at the servants, he led a group of old guys directly into Directorate of Palace Attendants.
The decorations in the palace are no different from those two years ago. Right in front is the seat of the former godfather Eunuch Xu, who was later succeeded by Eunuch Zheng. A few days ago, he was suspected of corruption and was demoted to guard the tomb of the late emperor!
Zhou Yi stood ten steps away from the seat. According to his past habits, he should now bend down and make a kneeling posture.
He said auspicious words and stepped a few steps faster, making it look like he was kneeling and sliding about ten steps to express his respect and loyalty to his godfather.
"It's a pity that my godfather didn't wait for our glory!"
Zhou Yi walked forward slowly and sat slowly on the chair. Perhaps it was the exquisite workmanship or the psychological effect, but I just felt comfortable and happy from the inside out.
After two dynasties, our family has become a figure in the palace!
"Gentlemen and seniors, please take a seat. We were at Directorate of Palace Attendants back then, thanks to your care. Today, I have gained His Majesty's trust and am in charge of the First Prison. I still need your help."
"Thank you Director Yi!"
Eunuch Wen and others are all old people in the palace, so they know the rules, but they cannot let a few compliments make them forget their identities.
Everyone was smiling as they lined up to take their seats. The seats at Directorate of Palace Attendants were more comfortable than those in the study or kitchen!
Zhou Yi Seeing this situation, I just feel that human nature is wonderful.
Back then, when I was eating in the kitchen and studying in the study, I often complimented Eunuch Wen and Eunuch Shen. At that time, I was sincere and sincere, but I didn't get any response.
Now there is no sincerity anymore, everyone is taking advantage of each other, and instead they are in harmony!
"Mr. Wen, thank you for your guidance."
Zhou Yi said, "You speak out and ask Eunuch Xu to accept us. Only with the blessing of our godfather can we live in peace in the palace!"
"My family has long been surprised by the Director Yi skeleton, we just did it casually."
Eunuch Wen changed his voice and sighed, "Later, we fell in love with a junior again, but we never thought that he had evil intentions and actually harmed people in the name of our family. He was kicked out of the door a few days ago!"
Zhou Yi asked, "Could it be Little Gui?"
"Indeed."
Eunuch Wen said, "Little Gui gave Eunuch Zhu money and framed Director Yi to go to the Cold Palace. He suffered retribution a few days ago. His true energy was reversed and his meridians were severed and he died!"
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he heard several meanings in one sentence.
The first to bear the brunt is Eunuch Zhu, Admiral Directorate of Palace Affairs, who is also the godfather of Zhou Yi. Due to what happened to Little Gui, he will definitely be a life and death enemy in the future.
The second is the death of Little Gui, which is Eunuch Wen's certificate of surrender, and may contain some threats.
These old guys have practiced so many magical skills and magic. Maybe their true energy is far inferior to that of Zhou Yi, but they are not easy to kill.
After all, this is a palace, so we can't fight. If we demolish the study today and the kitchen tomorrow, wouldn't it be a loss of His Majesty's face? In the end, both sides will suffer!
What's more, no one in the palace can be trusted!
Zhou Yi reconciled with Little Gui, and Eunuch Xu, his backer, fell, and Little Gui framed him.
"This may be Eunuch Wen's suggestion, let us do something to eradicate the root cause. Only if the person is completely dead can we avoid future troubles!"
"For example, those guys outside, we have been left out in the cold today. If we fail to guarantee that one day we will lose power, we will be in trouble. Of course, this also includes these old guys in the palace..."
Another thing is that I suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the prefect did not like the old guy before, but promoted his godson.
Although the godson is young, he may not be able to do things well, but he can manage to be loyal. The old people in the palace have long seen it through, and they will never hesitate to be ruthless no matter how hard they try to win over him!
Zhou Yi's mind raced, and he made all kinds of speculations in an instant. This was also a necessary skill for making a living in the palace. Those whose brains were slow would have died long ago.
Thinking of this, he asked with a smile.
"Sir, you are cleaning up the house like this, and you are quite a scholar. Directorate of Palace Attendants, which position do you like?"
The real drama is here.
Eunuch Wen's turbid eyes flashed, and he said slowly, "We have been teaching at home for more than 20 years, and our handwriting is pretty good. Why not make a diary to record the documents!"
When the other old eunuchs heard this, their expressions remained unchanged, but their ears were perked up to listen to what Zhou Yi was saying.
"Very good, very suitable!"
Zhou Yi shouted outside, "Eunuch Miao, come in, we have something to ask."
Eunuch Miao, who was waiting outside the door, did not dare to make any resistance. Disobedience to the order was a serious crime and could be beaten to death on the spot.
He bowed his body and entered the hall. When he was about ten steps closer to Zhou Yi, his knees were already close to the ground. It seemed that he was sliding all the way to kneel in front of him, and he kowtowed in front of him.
"My slave, I pay my respects to Director Yi, and wish the admiral as good as East Sea Long Flowing Water, and as long as the immortal pine in Nanshan Mountain!"
This guy dares to curse our family with a short life, he deserves to die!
Zhou Yi asked with a half-smile, "Eunuch Miao, my family heard that you have been greedy for a lot of money?"
"This is slander!"
Eunuch Miao quickly argued. "Qingfeng, our two bosses, have never been greedy. Director Yi, you have to make the decision for me."
"Our family will never wrong any good person."
Zhou Yi said, "In order to prove Eunuch Miao's innocence, our family will let people search their residence. If there is no corruption, the person who falsely accused him will be beaten to death!"
"Ah..."
Eunuch Miao's face turned pale. He didn't know that he had won the lottery. Once searched, he would definitely die.
The eunuch was physically disabled and could not work as a human being. He was short of money, power and sex, so he was much more greedy about the first two than ordinary people to make up for what he was missing.
A small part of the gold, silver and jewelry acquired from greed was stored in the palace outside the palace, and most of them were hidden in the residence for easy access at any time.
Some eunuchs who loved gold and silver as much as their lives cast the stolen gold and silver into bricks and spread them on their beds. They had to lie on the gold and silver every day before they could fall asleep.
Zhou Yi said coldly, "What? Eunuch Miao dare not let people search?"
Eunuch Miao knew he couldn't escape, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Our family has become obsessed with lard and has indeed become greedy for some gold and silver. We are willing to dedicate all of it to Director Yi..."
