Chapter 54 Filial Piety

Ganshou Palace.

As soon as Zhou An came back, he was called by Princess Yunjing to practice. Recently, Princess Yunjing was practicing qigong crazy. To be precise, it was after the assassination, perhaps because Princess Yunjing felt that she was too weak, which caused so many people to die, especially because Xiao Anzi entered the gate of hell with half his foot.

That's why she began to practice hard, and kept her armor all day long!

She wants to break through to the Earth Evil Realm and become stronger!

In fact, Princess Yunjing worked hard enough before, and after the assassination, it can be said that she was a little crazy.

I accompanied Princess Yunjing for an afternoon, and it was not until dusk that Zhou An returned to Chang'an Garden.

"Xiao Pavilion, are there any rumors in the palace recently?"

"If you go back to Eunuch Zhou, I don't know what aspect is my father-in-law referring to?"

In the courtyard of Chang'an Garden, Zhou An walked in front, followed by several palace maids and eunuchs behind him. Zhou An's personal little ting follows Zhou An, hanging down his waist and following Zhou An. The little ting is Yang Yuting, and is born in Xichun Palace. Although he has not had a long time with Zhou An, he is already Zhou An's confidant.

This kid is very obedient and clever, and Zhou An likes him very much.

"Tell me about any aspect... let me tell you!" Zhou Andu.

"Eunuch Zhou, since you saved His Highness the Princess and fell into a coma, your deeds have spread in the palace. The young people regard you as a role model."

"Stop flattering, tell the point!"

"Yes... they all said that you want to take another step forward. After all, you have made such a huge contribution. It is impossible for the emperor to not reward you. During these days when you were unconscious, most of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court have come. They have been to Zhidianguan. They have not come to Ganshou Palace and cannot enter. They can only go to Zhidianguan. They have left a lot of things, the best medicinal materials and some money, all of which are saved for you..."

Zhou An immediately frowned and turned his head to look at the small pavilion.

Something seems to be wrong.

If these people were flattering, they would be too anxious. Zhou An was pretending to die at that time. No one knew whether he could survive. But they were in a hurry to deliver things. If Zhou An died this time, wouldn’t all their thoughts and expenses be wasted?

"How many?" Zhou An asked.

"There are more medicinal materials, but not much money. The less is only a few dozen taels of silver, and the more is only a hundred taels..." Xiaotingzi said.

There are dozens or hundreds of taels, which is not a small amount!

But what is Zhou An’s identity now!

What kind of identity is the one who wants to visit him and give him something? In the corruption-ridden inner court, dozens or hundreds of taels are not even worth the money for those eunuchs and palace maids with real power.

However, Zhou An understood.

"They gave things, but they didn't avoid people, right?" Zhou An said.

"No." Xiaotingzi nodded.

Zhou An understood that they gave it openly, and this was not considered accepting bribes, because the amount was small, and it could only be considered a normal communication between eunuchs and palace maids, and they were not afraid of being investigated! In fact, if the empress knew about this, it would not be a bad thing, but a good thing!

It seemed that the inner court was united and loving. Zhou An was seriously injured and dying in order to protect Princess Yunjing. The eunuchs and palace maids in the inner court donated money and materials to contribute to the treatment of Xiao Anzi.

"Have you counted it? Who gave it to medicinal materials, silver and money in total?" Zhou An asked.

"After the small ones, the medicinal materials are worth 3,400 taels of silver, silver ingots, and silver notes, totaling 920 taels. There are a total of nineteen people who give gifts. The list is here for the small ones." Xiaotingzi said immediately, he was obviously prepared!

Xiaotingzi stopped talking for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Little one, obey the order!"

...

The next morning, the matter of the court's public execution of the assassin of the Pure Land Sect, Zhou An, the eunuch in charge of the Zhidian Supervisor, was appointed as the special envoy for the assassination case, spread! Zhou An, the prisoner, was killed with the assistance of the Shen Ce Army, and the time was set for seven days.

In the next few days, news spread throughout Ganjing City, and rumors emerged.

Anyone who knows a little inside story and the world knows the risks of publicly executing the Pure Land Cult assassins.

This is the first time Zhou An was pushed to the front stage, and even a story about him sacrificing his life and savior appeared in the capital!

...

Three days later, in the Imperial Horse Supervision Office in the inner court, a dimly lit study room in the back house.

"All of them have retreated?" Gu Huaiyong, the second general manager, looked up at his confidant old eunuch, "Qian Laizhu".

"Yes, the general manager!" Qian Laizhu said respectfully with his waist down, "In the past few days, Zhou An's personal eunuch Xiaotingzi took people, one yamen and one yamen. How many have they sent? They all returned intact."

Gu Huaiyong's face was not very good. He put down the book in his hand, stood up slowly, and slapped him on the table.

"Hmph! Isn't you greedy?" Gu Huaiyong sneered, "Is there any eunuch who doesn't love silver?"

"I feel that Zhou An suddenly gained power, and he is thinking about how to please the emperor and His Highness Yun Jing. It's not that he is not greedy, but that he is not afraid!" Qian Laizhu whispered.

Gu Huaiyong's mouth curled up, Qian Laizhu's thoughts on him.

He twisted and walked, came to the window, pushed the window open a crack, and looked out.

"There is no eunuch who doesn't love silver! No! There is no one who doesn't love silver!" Gu Huaiyong asserted, looking outside squinted his eyes slightly, he remembered his past. It was more than 30 years ago. He had just been appreciated by Kanglongji... many people immediately gave him "filial piety".

He also confiscated it and dared not accept it!

But what about now?

"Zhou An is still in Ganshou Palace?" Gu Huaiyong turned around and asked slightly.

"I live in Ganshou Palace, but he went to Zhidian Supervisor today to handle the office." Qian Laizhu said.

Gu Huaiyong was speechless and looked out the window again.

for a long time.
