Chapter 442

But Gu Zheng didn't think about it. In this dynasty when people in troubled times were not as good as dogs, what would be a good place to sell a half year old boy at a high price?

Sure enough, Gu Zheng, who was half coaxed and half cheated by Yaxing, took the money home. In the cry of his mother's hiss, he wouldn't follow Yaren to the real place until he knew he had been cheated.

It's agreed to serve noble people. That's right.

But no one told him that because this noble man is too expensive, if he wants to go in and serve, he must first break his grandchildren's roots?

It was not until Gu Zheng was pushed into the castrated small room that he found out the reason why the children in the city were wantonly soliciting children.

Because the imperial court has changed, the emperor in the palace has a different person to sit.

Who knows who the eunuchs and maids who used to be in the palace were from the previous dynasty?

Today's emperors don't dare to use important positions.

And in the palace, which is dismissed for various reasons, it always needs people to serve, doesn't it?

Naturally, a large-scale folk purchase is formed.

It's easy to say, maid. In general, there is no conflict at home.

At least when they are in their twenties, they can always be released from the palace. With an extra coat of palace people, the daughters of these poor people can't suffer much.

If there is a person who is lucky enough to break the table, he may jump into the woman next to the emperor, and the dream of a sparrow becoming a phoenix is not unprecedented.

But the fate of those bought little boys is more tragic.

Not to mention losing a man's most precious thing, just working in this palace for a lifetime, enduring the "difference" after growing up, and bearing the dual pressure of psychology and body, this is not a career that ordinary people can tolerate.

They are still ignorant children. When they understand the meaning of the job of internal waiter with the growth of age, they will either abandon themselves and decadent for a lifetime and die alone.

Or is the psychological distortion, embarked on a difficult path for others and for themselves.

There are few internal waiters who can get to the end of their lives.

Gu Zheng is also helpless about the high difficulty this time. He can only know that he is in trouble... And he is on his head.

The only thing he has doubts about is the cause of death of the world's client.

Because in the memory he received, even the client didn't understand why he died.

He only knows his death, which may be related to his good friend Wang Jien.

Oh, the one who was eager to fetch water for him just now takes good care of his children.

This Wang ji'en is actually half of Gu Zheng's hair.

Because their homes are very close, they are both one of the people living in the compound in Nancheng district outside Kaifeng.

Before entering the palace, Gu Zheng heard the story of Wang Jien from his neighbors and parents.

The child's family affairs are more pitiful than his Gu Zheng. His parents died when he was a child. He just lives with a lonely grandmother.

In order to make his seriously ill grandmother can afford a mouthful of medicine, Wang Jien sold his own to save people.

Who would have thought that the child was also unlucky. Grandma Wang, who had just taken medicine for two days, came to the end of her life. She left him alone and died.

Wang Jien, who no longer had the concern of his family, obediently followed the people when ya came to get it.

Want to come to this home without care, is the place he doesn't want to come back all his life.

Because he walked calmly, it reflected the tragedy of Gu Zheng's walk.

It was a family of ghosts crying and howling. It was like going to the execution ground.

Let Wang Jien, who claims to be mentally mature, move his heart of compassion.

Because he has been taking care of his family since childhood, and he is one year older than Gu Zheng.

After entering the palace, he took the initiative and put himself in the position of brother.

He took care of Gu zhengliangduo in his little life in the palace.

Because of Wang ji'en's shrewdness and wisdom, coupled with his easy-going behavior since childhood, he became the eye of the head of the internal waiter among the children who had just entered the palace.

Wang Jien was directly trained as his successor.

The head of the team who came to pick people is now the head waiter who follows the founding emperor and is responsible for the personal affairs of senior officials, Zhang Dekai and Zhang Da Zhongguan.

The strong man, who was afraid of martial arts and entered the palace because of the damage caused by the war, was very satisfied with Wang Jien, who was agile and full of eyesight.

However, in a few years, Wang Jien was transferred to the emperor's side and promoted to the high grade of internal service in the internal service province.

He is specially in charge of the evening living of the emperor's senior officials and the duties of waiters.

It can be regarded as the personal person of the emperor's senior officials.

Gu Zheng's neighbor, FA Xiao, really lived up to his adoptive father's cultivation. In a few short years later, he took Zhang Dekai's class who retired to the backstage and climbed to the position known to the right class of zhengliupin, the highest grade of internal waiter in the imperial palace.

It has become the envy of many small yellow gates.

Gu Zheng, an obviously unpleasant little yellow gate, was smoothly transferred out of the cleaning Bureau and assigned to Wang ji'en because of the rise of Wang Cheng'en's identity.

Although it's just outside the emperor's palace, be a two door gatekeeper.

But whether in terms of grade or salary, he also jumped up several grades.

The client who managed to get more salary is ecstatic because his brothers and sisters have grown up and his family needs him as a brother to provide more financial support.

Wang ji'en's help was a timely help.

In return, the client naturally stood closely behind Wang Jien and became his most loyal follower.

As if... A better life is in front of us

But one night, it suddenly stopped.

That night, he was still standing outside the hall, with several other doorkeepers, quietly looking at the falling snowflakes outside the hall.

After thinking about the value, he gathered in his bedroom and sat around eating a steaming hot pot.

Such a fantasy scene was suddenly interrupted by the vigorous shaking of candles in the emperor's bedroom.

With the abnormal candle shaking, the client also heard the sound of axe and chisel from the hall.

Here!

When Gu Zheng couldn't help but want to see what happened in the bedroom behind him, his professionalism made him restrain his impulse to turn around.

With a startling intermittent dispute coming from behind and disappearing, the bedroom behind the client was inexplicably quiet.

With all this dead silence, there was a thin, low voice of conversation.

The client was puzzled about this, but the man who came out of the bedroom immediately plunged him into panic.

Because the man who watched the vast snow night leave in a hurry was the emperor's brother, the king of Jin.

He looked meaningfully at the Funing palace, which symbolized the emperor's bedroom, outside the cold and windy hall. After humming, he quickly left the hall and disappeared in the direction of the snow.

After the man left, the pressure around the client was suddenly relieved. He didn't know why he was in a cold sweat just now, but it didn't prevent him from pricking up his ears and continuing to eavesdrop on the situation in the hall.

"Cough, cough, cough."

It was the cough of the emperor's senior officials.

He had a cold wind these two days, and it was not surprising that he coughed.

After hearing this voice, the client's heart calmed down inexplicably.

Fortunately, the life and death of the emperor's senior officials and their internal servants are closely related, as long as the senior officials are all right.

Gu Zheng, who consciously lifted the danger alarm, entered a relaxed state as a gatekeeper.

And this night, as he guessed, was passed peacefully.

But just after he was off duty and handed over the shift with the personnel who changed their posts, he began to return to the bedroom of the rear side hall together with three or two internal attendants of the outer door, but saw Wang Jien who hurried out of the emperor's palace.

At this time, the day is not bright. At this time, Wang Jien should still be waiting for the emperor to groom. What is he going to do?

The client who wanted to stop him was frightened aside by the gloomy look on his small face.

Out of the understanding of Wang Jien, the client buried himself behind the trees on the side path, trying to reduce their sense of existence in the palace.

But it happened that one of them was from the same period when the client and Wang ji'en went to the palace for training. He also had some friends with Wang ji'en on weekdays.

He just saw Wang Jien passing by them in a hurry, adhering to the theme of flattering a little, and the little boy with short eyes greeted Wang Jien's back.

"Wang Zhongguan, it's worth it so early."

It was this sentence that made Wang Jien, who was running quickly in front, turn his head. At this time, he seemed to have the most ferocious flame in his eyes, staring at the blind boy behind him.

But Wang Jien's eyes were half frightened and half gloating. After seeing that the client was among these people, he immediately showed an unspeakable expression.

He just went in the direction of the client and made a mouth shape that only the two of them could understand: "run!"

Then he disappeared away without looking back... In the direction of leaving the palace far in front.

These confused little Huangmen in the same class were frightened on the spot by Wang Jien's expression just now. They didn't understand how they inexplicably offended the senior officials in front of the emperor.

In this silent and uninhabited morning, I somehow touched each other's head.
