Chapter 179: The wicked are afraid of the wicked (Monthly Pass)
Since the thunder of Eunuch Zheng's throat, the scream lasted for half a stick of incense, and the storm-like fists stopped.
Finally, the people outside reacted. When someone brought in the lantern, Eunuch Zheng was already lying on the ground like a pool of mud, humming like a yoke.
He felt that he had lost half his life. When he saw the light, he felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He hurriedly raised his blue eyes to see, but he saw that the officials in the hall were sitting upright, everyone was dressed neatly and looked indifferent, and there was no trace of murder on his face.
Even the tiger was sitting in its original position with a calm cloud, gently dusting the dust on its sleeves with his fingers.
Chen Kaizhi sat aside, looked up at the beam of the room, thinking about something, as if there was a thief on the beam of the room.
At this time, County Magistrate Zhu said with a look of surprise: "Eunuch Zheng, what's wrong with you?"
The county magistrate Zheng, who was sitting aside, also looked at him with heartache, and then said anxiously: "Hurry, please come quickly, please come."
The servant carrying a lantern was about to run to call the doctor, but he heard the voice of Eunuch Zheng, "No... don't leave!"
The officer stopped in surprise and turned back to look at Eunuch Zheng with confusion.
Eunuch Zheng stared at the lantern. He had been beaten to death and his whole body was in great pain. But at this time, he didn't know where he came from, as if he treated the lantern as a life-saving straw. At this moment, he yearned for the light. In his opinion, the light emitted by the lantern seemed to be holiness, although the light made his face, which had already been bruised and swollen, extremely miserable.
He grinned and said, "No one is allowed to leave!"
At this moment, several guards finally rushed in in panic. When they saw Eunuch Zheng like this, they were full of surprise.
When Eunuch Zheng saw that the reinforcements finally came, he hurriedly said, "Help... help us get up."
The guards helped Eunuch Zheng up. He limped and his cheekbones were swollen. With his panda eyes, it looked funny, but he didn't think it was funny at all. He glanced sharply at everyone and said angrily: "You...you...what should you be guilty?"
The whole hall was silent, but no one responded to him.
Eunuch Zheng glared at Bao Hu fiercely and said angrily: "You... dare you beat us?"
Bao Hufeng calmly curled his lips, completely disdainful of talking to him.
Eunuch Zheng was so angry that he stomped his feet, but he was helpless.
Then he looked at others again. Some of them lowered their heads and coughed, some lowered their heads to drink tea, and some looked innocent, and occasionally a cough came from them.
Eunuch Zheng couldn't help but sneer, and finally his eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi sat upright, looking at the nose and the nose.
Eunuch Zheng sternly said: "Chen Kaizhi."
Chen Kaizhi shook his skirt on his body, then grew up, bowed to Eunuch Zheng and bowed: "Student is here."
Eunuch Zheng looked at him gloomyly and shouted, "You...you...you...is you, and he, don't think we don't know. We are the Qin envoys, you...you dare to beat Qin envoys. This... is a traitor."
Chen Kaizhi said innocently: "The student doesn't understand what his father-in-law meant. The student only knows that an assassin came here just now. Are you drunk?"
Just open your eyes and tell lies. Chen Kaizhi is so familiar with it.
Eunuch Zheng said angrily: "Hey, hey... you are extremely shameless, you are all colluding with each other. Do you think that this is the case, so we have no way to deal with you? Wait and see, we have to sue..." He sternly said to several guards: "Did you see, have you seen the wound on us? These are all beaten by these people, and the main evil is Chen Kaizhi, go, go!"
Several guards were confused, but they still left with the swearing Eunuch Zheng.
The hall was still quiet. After a while, Bao Hu stood up, and the officials were speechless. It can be seen that these officials from scholars and the eunuchs, especially the arrogant and domineering eunuchs like Zheng, have been disliked for a long time, so no one said anything.
"I am so heartbroken that this happened. Eunuch Zheng is my distinguished guest. Alas, why do you still have the intention to live this New Year?" Bao Hu glanced at everyone. His dark face seemed to be laughing, but he still said loudly: "Let's go back and have a good New Year."
The officials stood up, bowed to Bao Hu, and then left.
"Chen Kaizhi, stay." Bao Hu stared at Chen Kaizhi with bright eyes.
Chen Kaizhi nodded, and when everyone stepped back, he bowed to Bao Hu with a wry smile.
Bao Hu stared at him with a stern look on his face: "Do you know your mistake?"
Chen Kaizhi didn't know where the mistake was, but whenever the elder asked this, he would definitely answer reflexively: "The student was wrong."
"Where is the mistake?" Bao Hu looked like he was not favoritism again.
Chen Kaizhi thought for a while and said, "Is it really a death to let the Lord of the Mansion worry?"
"It's just this?" Bao Hu walked angrily to the few cases of Eunuch Zheng just now. The cushions and cases here had already broken up in chaos. Bao Hu bent over and picked up a shoe, raised it and said, "Look at your feet."
Chen Kaizhi lowered his head and found that one of his shoes was missing. Maybe it was too happy just now, let alone the foot cloth wrapped around his feet, so he didn't pay attention. Now... it seemed a little embarrassed.
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly said: "Student...the students really knew they were wrong this time."
Bao Hu continued to stare at him and said, "Where is the mistake?"
This guy is so anxious. He looks like gunpowder. No matter what he does, he looks like he is about to explode at any time.
Chen Kaizhi felt that this mansion master looked like the emoticon of the 'Angry Birds', so he must not go around the corner when dealing with such people: "Remember to wipe your mouth clean when eating."
Bao Hu's face slightly sluggished, and then he calmed down: "It seems that you are not stupid, not as stupid as a child. Put on your shoes."
After saying that, he threw his shoes directly at Chen Kaizhi's feet, and Chen Kaizhi then put them on.
Bao Hu had already sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said, "It will be a good idea to deal with such a traitor villain. Kaizhi, what is this evil person most afraid of?"
"What?" Chen Kaizhi was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Bao Hu asked and answered himself: "What evil people fear the most is the evil people, so when a real man is alive, don't always think about being a good person. Sometimes he should be a bad person, and he is even more evil than a bad person. Only then will the world be clearer."
Chen Kaizhi smiled and suddenly realized that the person who came to this world and who was closest to his three views was actually this prefect Bao.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but bowed to him and said, "Students are taught."
Bao Hu laughed: "Where are there so many teachings? Didn't you come forward and attack? It can be seen that you are not taught, you are not a pedantic person, and this is not a bad thing."
But now, Chen Kaizhi was worried about Bao Hu and couldn't help but say, "But Lord Master, this person is afraid he won't give up?"
Bao Hu frowned and said, "He is willing to give up or not, and I am not afraid. This is the nature of my official. I neither want to change nor can I change it anymore. But you are the invigilator. Once the exam is issued, the exam number cannot be changed. This move will not change your destiny. It is just a venting of anger. If you fail this provincial examination, wait for another three years?"
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "It's not that students are not allowed to take the exam. As long as they take the exam, they will have a chance, but the students think..." He frowned slightly and said, "The students are still worried that Eunuch Zheng will not give up, but they are afraid that they will be unable to guard against it and that the hidden arrow will hurt people."
Bao Hu just pursed his lips and sneered: "Hmph, then let him go."
It turns out that he is a rough man, Chen Kaizhi was stunned. It is hard to imagine how this prefect got it.

Outside the prefect's yamen, the assistants and local officials dispersed, and some people sat in the sedan chair. The Zheng County Magistrate walked slowly, but someone shouted behind him: "Wen Lan."
This is the name of Zheng County Magistrate. He paused slightly. When he looked back, he saw that it was Zhu Zi and Wuqi coming.
Under the stars and moon, the magistrate Zheng held his hands behind his back and waited for Zhu Zi and for a moment.
Zhu Zihe looked at him deeply and said, "The candlestick just now was the hand of Brother Wen Lan?"
The magistrate Zheng immediately turned his face: "It's nonsense, why do I do that candlestick for no reason? I, Mr. Zheng, am I, who is such a person? How can you wrongly accuse people like this?"
Zhu Zihe smiled faintly, but did not continue asking questions, and then said, "Will Eunuch Zheng give up?"
The magistrate Zheng said with a relaxed look: "What should I do if I am willing to leave or not? I am not the culprit. Zheng is not worried at all. Why, Brother Zhu has been doing a lot of tricks, just worrying like this?"
Zhu Zi was facing the ancient well without waves. Even under the night, even though he was tempted by the magistrate Zheng, he still looked indifferent. While walking, he slowly said: "I am a scholar, how could I do such a humiliating thing? Wen Lan said it too much."
As he said that, Zhu Zi and the sedan chair had already crawled into the waiting sedan chair, and then rolled off the curtain.
County Magistrate Zheng just smiled, looked back at the dim prefect's office, and then walked away from the sedan chair.
…………
At this time, in the Luoyang Palace, which was decorated with lights and full of New Year's Day, after a night of noisy, the empress dowager, who still had a delicate face, dragged her tired body back to the bedroom.
In the Queen Mother's bedroom, there was a warm feeling, and only the window was blowing in the cold wind.
Several palace maids were ready to close the doors and windows, but the queen mother suddenly said, "There is no need to close this window."
The palace maids bowed gently and bowed to a corner.
The empress dowager's body leaned slightly to the soft side, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her mouth was spitting out the remaining alcoholic smell from the palace banquet just now. She looked a little headache: "Tell me, Zhang Jing, no need to serve others."
