Chapter 40

Xia Yingying watched Li Boxian lead the censors to rush into the palace with great momentum, but she was anxious and uneasy in her heart. Only those who had been in the court for a long time knew how far the emperor had been "kidnapped" by civil servants. In the eyes of people outside, the Supreme Emperor of Nine Five is still supreme and can do whatever he wants.

Can a flock of sheep fight a wolf?

Obviously not!

In Yingying's eyes, those censors who only know how to play with pens and only talkative words are just a group of sheep. Now that the sheep are looking for the big pervert, Yingying only has a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she has no confidence in success.

Yingying, who never cared about the government and had no understanding of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, did not understand at all. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have mutated since Yongle. They were not sheep, but a group of wolves in sheep's clothing...

Yingying stood in front of the palace gate and stood for a long time. She was too lazy to pay attention to the strange eyes of those who entered and left the palace gate, nor was she too lazy to pay attention to the ministers who came over to ask her because of curiosity. As time passed, her heart became more and more uneasy, and sweat was already pouring out of her palms.

At the side door of the palace gate, a figure suddenly appeared, a white figure. Xia Yingying, who had been staring at the Meridian Gate, suddenly opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth a few times, and didn't say a word. Her small and cute nose wings swayed sharply, and crystal tears suddenly filled her eyes like spring water.

She saw the person she was deeply concerned about, and she saw Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian had been stripped of his coat before his execution, and had only a small coat, and his hair was broken. Now he was wearing a white coat and his hair was disheveled, which was very different from his usual image, but Yingying recognized him at a glance.

When Ye Xiaotian saw Yingying, he came over happily. He took a few steps quickly, then slowly slowed down and looked at Yingying. For a moment, there was also a crystal wet light flashing in his eyes.

Through the mouths of the censors, he already knew everything Yingying did for him. Yingying's dazzling and bright red wedding dress was reflected in his eyes and then passed into his heart, and turned into a burning fire.

Tears in Yingying's eyes fell down unyieldingly. She was always afraid, worried that the body with its body and head separated from the palace was a corpse. Now seeing Ye Xiaotian standing in front of her alive, he walked out step by step by step. Yingying was extremely satisfied, as if she had obtained everything she wanted in her life.

"Brother Xiaotian!"

Yingying screamed in joy. Suddenly she pulled her feet and ran towards Ye Xiaotian.

She was wearing the phoenix crown and robe of her newlyweds. She ran passionately, under the high yellow palace walls, and in front of the huge red palace gate. The palace was as spectacular as the sky. She ran in front of the majestic palace, like a fairy who left the heaven without hesitation for the sake of her love in her heart.

Yingying ran, smiled, screamed, and flew over. Ye Xiaotian spread her strong arms and steadily caught her. The two hugged each other tightly. Yingying used all her strength to hug Ye Xiaotian tightly, as if he would fly away as soon as she let go. Xia Yingying put it on his chest and murmured: "I'm so scared, I'm so scared, Brother Xiaotian, you're fine..."

Ye Xiaotian hugged Yingying's light and charming body and pressed against her cheeks. He gently stroked her back without saying a word. When women are extremely happy, anger, sorrow and happiness, they like to tell others about their feelings, while men are mostly different. At this time, most of them will bury what they feel deeply into their hearts, compact, ferment, and treasure them. Occasionally they will take out a little, and they will quietly savor it, but they are rarely willing to take it out and share it with others.

Until Yingying let go of Ye Xiaotian, she still had crystal tears of joy on her face and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Xiaotian, are you okay?" Ye Xiaotian held her little hand tightly and smiled: "Well! It's okay, this time, you saved me!"

Ye Xiaotian showed a trace of nostalgia in his eyes and said softly: "That little girl who is innocent, ignorant, and in my eyes, has always been able to cause trouble, is really amazing now. She did such a shocking thing with just one move. The civil and military officials are moved by you, and the dignified emperor surrenders to you!"

Xia Yingying burst into tears and bit her cherry lips, her eyes were full of waving, and she raised her hand and slapped her softly on his chest, and said coquettishly: "Okay! It turns out that in your heart, she is just a stupid troublemaker!"

Ye Xiaotian gently hugged her back to his arms and said softly: "Whether it is a silly girl or a troublemaker, I just like you, starting from the first time I saw you..."

Xia Yingying was moved by these sweet love words as sweet as honey, and gently pressed them into his arms, quietly enjoying the sweet and warm feeling.

"Uh... cough!" Li Boxian coughed inappropriately. Ye Xiaotian and Xia Yingying turned their heads and looked at him. Li Boxian smiled and said, "Congratulations to you, even though you have experienced the storm, you will finally see the rainbow!"

Xia Yingying quickly saluted him and said sincerely: "Uncle, thank you for your fault."

Liu Hengyi was held up by his colleagues. When he saw Miss Xia thanking Li Boxian, he felt that he had made such a great sacrifice. If he didn't say anything, he really had no sense of existence. He immediately struggled to stand up and said generously: "Miss, you don't have to thank me. We, the censor, have a loyal heart and a righteous spirit. We always take it as our responsibility to pick up mistakes and uphold justice.

Powerful people are the tools that rule the world by the ruler. How can public use privately and illegally use it? The sages say that anyone who harms the country and the people is a crime! Our wise sayings are that anyone who benefits the country will ignore it even if they die, and who are worried day and night will be afraid that they will not sacrifice themselves to repay the country..."

Censor Liu was even more able to speak than Censor Li, and he was so straight that Xia Yingying was stunned. Ye Xiaotian smiled, bowed to them very seriously, and said solemnly: "Sir, thank you, Ye!"

These officials of the sect may be a bit foolish, and may be a bit obsessed in order to safeguard the responsibilities of censors and pursue the reputation of integrity. But if there was not such a strange group, he would have escaped without the power of the sky?

For Ye Xiaotian, these Taoist officials are the cutest people in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhongguaner, also known as Zhongguan Tomb, is the place where eunuchs are buried, that is, Zhongguancun in later generations. Because eunuchs were called Zhongguan, the cemetery specially opened for them was called Zhongguan. But later generations thought it was not nice and changed to Zhongguan.

This place is not only used to bury dead eunuchs, but some of them are still alive, but because they are old, they are no longer able to serve others, and they have no relatives after they are dismissed from the palace. They also gather here to build houses and live. At the same time, they show the graves of the dead old friends.

So this place is dead during the day and yin at night. Basically no one comes.

Most of the eunuchs who fell here were very poor, but most of them could save a little while in the palace for their whole life, and they had no children and had no money. Some of them had a little saving before they died, so they would take them into the coffin.

But the money is not much more, and most ancient people believe one thing: if you are too immoral, you will be punished. What is the most immoral thing? It is not to kick the widow's door, but to dig out the graves of a household. No one has any descendants, and after death, there is no hope of blood and food sacrifice. If you dig out the graves of someone else, isn't that a great detriment? Therefore, even the rogues are quite taboo about this and will not easily sneak up here and make a decision to find money from the graves of eunuchs.

However, nothing is absolutely true, and some people just don't care, especially when he is desperate, such as Li Jinzhong.

Li Jinzhong is from Suining, Beizhili. He is nineteen years old this year. He has been poor since childhood and has been lingering on the streets all day long, following a group of rascals, and can't read a single word. However, because he has done all kinds of careers, he actually knows how to ride horses and shoot archery, and he has some skills.

Li Jinzhong is lustful and gambled. With his cleverness and ability to be better than other colleagues, he can occasionally make some extra money, but he can't save a penny. It's all used by women's belly and gambling tables.

However, small gambling is fun, and big gambling does not make a fortune. Even though Li Jinzhong was alert, he was still plotting by others and lost a lot of money at the gambling table two days ago. The other party was a very powerful rogue with dozens of people under his command. How dare Li Jinzhong not repay the gambling debts he owed him? But for a moment, he had nowhere to raise such a large sum of money, so he put his ideas on the eunuchs in Zhongguan Tomb and started to rob the tomb.

At midnight, Li Jinzhong brought a short shovel, put a candle in, and sneaked into the Zhongguan grave. The old eunuchs lived in a low and chaotic bungalow. In order to make a living, many eunuchs raised poultry such as chickens and geese in the yard. If Li Jinzhong wanted to sneak in, they would definitely alarm these livestock. However, Li Jinzhong's original idea was not to make the idea of ​​these living eunuchs, his target was in those graves.

Li Jinzhong couldn't pay back the gambling debts, and was beaten hard by the creditor during the day. At this time, he limped. He carried a short shovel and staggered around the bungalow area and entered the cemetery. He looked around and saw that there was no one. Then he chose a grave at will and plucked up his courage to dig it up.

This is a new tomb. The soil is soft and easier to dig. Even so, when the thin coffin is exposed, Li Jinzhong is exhausted and sweaty. The greed for money suppressed the fear in his heart. Li Jinzhong jumped into the tomb pit and pulled out a crowbar from his back.

The coffin was just a few thin wooden boards to fill the number, and it was easily pried open. Li Jinzhong lit a candle and lit it into the coffin. Because it was the corpse that had just been buried, the body was not smelly yet, and Li Jinzhong was very satisfied. The reason why he chose such a new tomb was because he was worried about the corpse poison and stench of the old tomb. He was not a professional tomb robber. If he couldn't do it well, he would be seriously ill with corpse poison, which would be a loss.

Li Jinzhong groped on the corpse, but after a long time, he couldn't find anything valuable. The corpse was wearing a eunuch uniform and could not be exchanged for two cents. Li Jinzhong thought that he owed a gambling debt, and if he couldn't pay it back, he would either chop his hands or chop his feet by the creditor, and he would become disabled. He couldn't help but get angry from his heart and evil was born to the side of his courage.

Li Jinzhong grabbed the collar of the eunuch's body and slapped him hard: "You bastard! You are a dead husband! You are still in the palace. Why don't you know how to save some money! Why don't you know how to save some money! You bastard!"

Li Jinzhong scolded and sucked, not beingware of the corpse being beaten by him, suddenly, and he opened his eyes. Li Jinzhong's shock was extraordinary. Has the corpse changed? Li Jinzhong screamed in fear, and he was about to crawl out with his hands and feet.

But the soil of the new grave was soft, and he was not very obedient in his arms in a panic. He struggled for a while, but he didn't climb out very high. His ankle was grabbed by the cold fingers of the "eunuch zombie" and screamed: "Don't... stop hitting, help!"

"Help!" Li Jinzhong also screamed, and suddenly became stunned: "No, I should call for help. Why should this zombie shout help? Could it be..."
