Chaos of Ming 1628

Sun Qing lived on the second floor, while Madam Ke lived on the third floor.

Inside the room, Lao Yu lay on a bamboo rattan armchair, fast asleep, his body reeking of alcohol.

He liked to stay in Sun Qing's room, and Sun Qing didn't chase him away, letting him stay as he pleased.

Just as I was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, the window frame rattled, and with a soft sound, the window was opened.

Shen Junru crouched down and slipped inside, landing gently on the floor, and quickly closed the window.

Hearing the noise, Sun Qing was startled at first, but after recognizing Shen Qing, she breathed a sigh of relief and clicked her tongue twice: "Young Master Shen, dressed like this, is truly exceptionally handsome, enough to make any woman's heart flutter, while men feel ashamed!"

Shen Junru rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Anyway, I've done what you told me to do, and the person has been lured here. Now I don't have to pretend to be a man anymore, right?"

"That won't do," Sun Qing frowned, his tone serious. "The matter hasn't been resolved yet, you still need to stay by her side."

Thinking about what had just happened, Shen Junru gritted her teeth, grabbed Sun Qing by the collar, her anger rising, but she kept lowering her voice: "Bastard, why didn't you go?"

"Do you know what that old woman did to me?"

"What?" Old Yu sat up abruptly, rubbing his drunken eyes, and chuckled, "What did that woman do to you?"

The two turned to look at Lao Yu. Shen Junru snorted and said angrily, "She's shameless. She touched my face and said she wanted to taste a man's flavor."

"Hahaha, it seems that the castrated dog's skills can't satisfy her anymore." Old Yu slapped his thigh, his expression full of sarcasm.

Sun Qing couldn't laugh; instead, he asked in a deep voice, "You ran away?"

"Disgusting, I just raised my hand slightly and she passed out." Shen Junru scratched her head slightly embarrassedly.

In her mind, military orders were absolute. Although Sun Qing wasn't in the military, once she accepted a task, she was naturally expected to complete it to the best of her ability.

Sun Qing opened her mouth slightly, then gave a wry smile: "Fine, if you're dizzy, you're dizzy. You should go back now!"

"No!" Shen Junru refused outright, raising an eyebrow and smiling, "I have some earth-shattering news. Once you know it, you won't care about that Madam Ke anymore."

"Oh?" Old Yu cleared his throat and asked solemnly, "Is there any movement in the capital?"

Shen Junru didn't answer immediately. Instead, she looked at Sun Qing, smugly asking, "Do you want to know?"

Qunqing stood with one hand behind his back, staring at the flickering candlelight, and said coldly, "Madam Ke has been expelled from the palace, despised by the people, and disliked by the current emperor."

"It seems that they were down on their luck in the capital, and it was only after arriving in Hejian Prefecture that they dared to change their clothes and increase their troops."

Shen Junru cursed inwardly, "Damn it," and stared at Sun Qing with a strange look: "How did you know? Oh, right, you can divine!"

"That's the situation!" These four simple words are enough to explain.

Such things as foresight are mysterious and unbelievable; Shen Junru might believe them, but Lao Yu would not.

Old Yu sat up straight, and in his sleeve was a note sent by carrier pigeon. What it said was exactly the same as what Sun Qing had said.

His cloudy eyes scrutinized Sun Qing: "Young Master Sun, since you've already foreseen this, why did you still lead a stray dog ​​to Jiaohe?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Old Yu's voice suddenly rose.

Sun Qing walked to the window, opened it, and pointed to the myriad lights outside: "It's better to be at peace throughout the world than to live in a corner of the country."

"So, you're going to uproot the eunuch faction completely?" Old Yu's voice suddenly rose.

Sun Qing shook his head: "No, to save the Ming Dynasty, we can't destroy the eunuch faction. I'm thinking, should we let them live a little longer?"

"What?!" Old Yu suddenly became agitated. "So, you're using the Sun family's name to help the eunuch faction?"

"I don't understand," Shen Junru's mind was a complete mess at that moment: "If you're going to help the eunuch faction, how could you create the Botou Heavenly Punishment? Isn't that harming Wei Zhongxian?"

Sun Qing's gaze slowly fell on the two men's faces, and he said softly, "Wei Zhongxian must die, but not so quickly. Let me ask you a question: now that Wei Zhongxian is dead, how will the tax revenue be balanced?"

"With the border constantly on our heels, where will the army's funds come from?"

"Even without Wei Zhongxian, there are still others!" Old Yu's expression changed. He stood up, his back was no longer hunched, and his eyes were exceptionally sharp.

He walked step by step up to Sun Qing: "Listen carefully, the Sun family and the eunuch faction are mortal enemies. Only if you destroy the eunuch faction can you be considered a true member of the Sun family."

"Otherwise, Heaven will not tolerate you!"

After saying that, he suddenly let go, burst into laughter, and pointed at Sun Qing's tense face: "Hahaha, I acted really well, didn't I! I scared you, didn't I!"

Sun Qing's lips twitched, his smile turning into an ugly grin: "This joke isn't funny at all."

"Miss Shen, did you hear that?" Sun Qing turned to look at Shen Junru.

Shen Junru, not understanding why, nodded nonetheless.

"Since you've heard it, then I'm afraid you'll have to make do. You'll need to stay near Madam Ke, and it would be best if the delivery people knew that there's a lot of noise going on inside every night." Sun Qing said with a wicked smile.

Shen Junru understood. She clenched her fist and nodded solemnly.

I thought it would be a difficult task, but it turned out to be just making a commotion, which is something she's very good at.

"Go quickly!" Sun Qing shouted.

Shen Junru looked back at Lao Yu, and seeing Lao Yu nod, she quickly slipped out of the window and climbed onto the third-floor window.

There was a brief silence upstairs, but then the commotion quickly escalated. You could hear Mrs. Ke's exclamations, laughter, and those inexplicable "Ah!" sounds.

They could only take a short break as dawn approached.

dawn.

Walking through the post station, you can always hear groups of people gathered in twos and threes.

"I never expected that Madam could be so troublesome."

"You know what, we live on the second floor, and it felt like the floor was about to collapse."

"So, you still have to experience the joy that a real man brings! Sometimes, if something's missing, it just won't work."

Sun Qing sat to the side, eating the steamed bun in his hand.

People came and went at the entrance of the post station. Officials from the yamen came and went in batches. From the top-class room, Zhou Ji's cries could be heard.

"Oh my, Young Master Sun!" the eunuch exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, "So you're here! Don't just stand there, Madam invites you in."

To everyone's surprise, Sun Qing didn't even lift an eyelid, and continued to sit in the hall and dine elegantly.

The eunuch stomped his feet in anger, pointing at Sun Qing with his delicate, effeminate fingers: "You...you...you..."

"Our lady has never been unable to get anyone to come."

"Boy, are you looking for death! If you really anger Madam, even if she can't touch that old man, she can certainly touch you, right?"

"Is the lady you're referring to a palace maid or an ordinary wet nurse?" Sun Qing asked.

The eunuch gritted his teeth. A mere wet nurse couldn't possibly compare to the majesty of the Lady Fengsheng, who ruled the harem. He sneered, "Fool, of course she's the Lady Fengsheng of the harem."

Sun Qing paused in his hand, then put down the steamed bun and stood up.

The eunuch held his head high, smugly pleased with himself: "Hmph, kid, you're smart to leave!"

Sun Qing was walking, but not upstairs. Instead, he wandered around the courtyard and finally found a handy wooden stick.

Without saying a word, he picked it up, gripped the wooden stick tightly with both hands, and struck the eunuch fiercely.

"Ouch!"

A blow struck the eunuch squarely in the back. "How dare you hit one of our servants!"

Sun Qing's hands moved without stopping, striking again and again with the stick. At first, the eunuch shouted at him, but with the dull groans of the stick hitting flesh, he quickly turned into a coward, running away with his head in his hands.

"Oh dear, madam, madam, help me! Help me!"

The couriers rushed over upon hearing the commotion. When they saw that it was Sun Qing beating the eunuch, they all suppressed their laughter, lowered their heads, and went about their business.

There was finally some movement upstairs.

The door to the top-tier room suddenly opened, and Madam Ke stormed out. Standing upstairs and witnessing this scene, she nearly fainted.

He roared, "Stop it!"
