The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 272 Yan Xi
Other courtyard.

Bright lights.

When Xie Zhifei arrived, in addition to the two familiar people, there was another person kneeling in the room.

Xie Zhifei was actually familiar with the kneeling man.

It was Yan Xi, Taisun's personal eunuch.

Yan Xi is eighteen years old. She has been waiting for her grandson since she was eight years old. She has been serving him for ten years and is the most favored person in front of him.

"What do you mean? Eunuch Yan was caught stealing something good."

Xie Zhifei had a good personal relationship with Yan Xi, and when he saw him kneeling, he calmly put in a good word for him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Pei Mingting's eyes looked over like knives.

Xie Zhifei thought about his grandson calling him here in the middle of the night, thought about it for a moment, pointed in the direction of the palace, and asked with his eyes: But because of that person inside?
Pei Mingting nodded slightly.

No wonder!
Yan Xi was able to come to Huairen to serve him because of his godfather Yan Ruxian.

It can be said that Yan Ruxian single-handedly trained Yan Xi to be such an all-rounder.

And if Yan Xi didn't have Yan Ruxian as his backer, it would be impossible for him to be valued by the grandson.

Now that Lu Shi is impeaching Yan Ruxian, Yan Ruxian's position is in jeopardy. Yan Xi thinks about the past friendship, and probably wants to ask his grandson to put in a good word for his godfather.

After all, the father and son both prosper and suffer.

Xie Zhifei went to sit next to Zhao Yishi.

"Huairen, I was injured those days, why didn't you come to see me? I waited helplessly for several nights."

Zhao Yishi: "..."

"Eunuch Yan, please get up quickly and help Third Master take off his clothes so that your master can take a good look at Third Master's injuries."

Xie Zhifei looked aggrieved, "Huairen, it hurts."

Even Yan Sanhe couldn't bear the third master's coquettish behavior, let alone Zhao Yishi?
He turned his head and gave Yan Xi a cold look, "For the sake of Third Master, get lost. If you dare to plead for mercy in the future, go down and get fifty notes by yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Third Master."

Yan Xi glanced at the third master gratefully and quickly rolled away.

"Let me tell you, it's fifty."

Pei Mingting had a rare moment of flattery, "Our fifty-year-old mouths are not only covered with honey, but also illuminated."

Consecration?
Do you think I am a monk?

Xie Zhifei ignored the man and said, "Huairen, how is the matter with the old eunuch?"

Zhao Yishi: "I will make my ambition clear by dying."

Xie Zhifei was surprised, "Dead?"

"It was discovered early and he was rescued."

Zhao Yishi sneered, "I knelt down in front of His Majesty and cried until I had snot and tears. I even took off my lower half of my clothes. I swear to God."

A eunuch who is greedy for money and has no fear of wielding power will be involved in the harem, which will bring disgrace to the royal family, and the matter will be serious.

Xie Zhifei sighed, "This is because I was forced into a hurry."

Little Master Pei interjected: "Has the palace started investigating?"

Zhao Yishi: "Your Majesty's temper, how can we not investigate it?"

Xie Zhifei: "What did you find out?"

Zhao Yishi: "There is nothing at the moment."

Xie Zhifei held his chin, "But since the old censor dares to impeach, he should have real evidence. What does he say?"

Zhao Yishi frowned slightly.

"The old censor is ill. He first asked people to present the evidence of corruption and manipulation of power. The evidence of adultery in the harem was not found. He said that the food should be eaten one bite at a time and everything should be investigated one by one."

"Is all the evidence of corruption and corruption conclusive?" Pei Mingting asked.

"The Yushitai, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department are already investigating, but not so quickly."

Zhao Yishi's eyes were cold: "Because of this matter, Your Majesty has been resting in the imperial study for five consecutive days. Everyone in the harem and the front court is in danger." Can't everyone be in danger?

If the crime of fornication is really proven, it will be a major crime to punish the Nine Clan.

Xie Zhifei frowned: "One will die to prove his will, and the other will impeach in Fei Yi. Between the two, one must be lying."

"I'm sure Eunuch Yan."

Little Master Pei said in his heart that I don’t even need to use my brain.

"That old guy Lu Shi has never made a mistake in decades. What do you mean, it's called a perfect shot!"

"My good uncle left the capital early today and returned to his fiefdom."

The words had neither beginning nor end, but the third master and little master Pei understood them clearly.

The King of Han sensed that something was wrong in Sijiucheng, and was afraid that it would implicate him, so he greased his feet and slipped away quickly.

This also proves that Yan Ruxian, the old eunuch, has a big problem.

Zhao Yishi's chest felt like a big stone was blocking his chest, and he was afraid that the future would not be peaceful even in the harem. "

Xie Zhifei thought about Tang Qiling's fraud case, and his mind changed.

"By the way, Huairen, that day in the Jiaofang Department, I heard some gossip about Yan Ruxian. I wonder if it is true or false?"

Zhao Yishi was about to take a sip of tea to relieve the congestion in his chest. After hearing what he said, he didn't even bother to drink the tea.

"A few scholars said that Yan Ruxian also participated in the Chunwei fraud."

"what?"

At this time, Zhao Yishi was completely shocked.

Pei Xiao glanced at Xie Zhifei thoughtfully: "We were both more shocked than you at the time, so we listened with our ears straight up. Unfortunately, the scholar's mouth was covered."

Xie Zhifei: "I don't really believe it. From His Majesty, to the Cabinet, to the Ministry of Rites, everyone takes matters like Chunwei seriously. How can a eunuch like him interfere?"

Pei Xiao sneered: "He can have sex with the harem, so what's the point of interfering with Chunwei?"

Zhao Yishi couldn't sit still, so he stood up and opened the window.

The beginning of autumn is approaching, and the summer wind blows against my face with a coolness, sweeping away the suffocating atmosphere in the study.

"If that's the case, things won't be good." He said softly, looking at the night.

Third Master and Little Master Pei knew what was wrong.

There is an exam every three years in Chunwei. It is unknown which exam Yan Ruxian intervened in, and the prince once served as the examiner of Chunwei.

"In the 23rd year of the late emperor's reign, there was also a fraud in the spring palace. The examiner at that time was Tang Qiling."

Zhao Yishi's voice was deep: "It is said that he also colluded with the eunuchs in the palace, both internally and externally."

Xie Zhifei glanced at Pei Xiao and said, "Huairen, can you tell me in detail about the fraud case in the late Emperor's 23rd year?"

Zhao Yishi turned around and said helplessly: "That's all I know."

Little Mr. Pei was originally hoping that he would let out a few more words, "Have you never seen the case file?"

Zhao Yishi shook his head, "Involving the former prince, the matter is too sensitive. It is said that this case and the files of the former prince's witchcraft case have been sealed. No matter who he is, no one is allowed to access it."

Finished!

I'm so bragging!

"You two will forget this once you hear it, and never mention it again."

Zhao Yishi stretched out a slender finger and pointed in the direction of the palace: "It's that person's Ni Lin. I can't mention it at all. Whoever mentions it will die!"

"Who, who wants to mention it?"

Pei Xiao was so frightened that his heart was pounding and he quickly changed his words.

"Come on, come on, don't talk about these unfounded things. By the way, Huairen, did you win or lose that day, Huairen?"

"Won!"

Little Master Pei: "Tell me, how does it feel to be an oiran?"
