#191 - Pig King
In Liang Jin's eyes, however, there was only gloom.
This Consort Zhang was so difficult to serve, mistreating servants simply because she was in a bad mood.
It seemed that whether he performed meritorious service or not, it wouldn't mean much to Consort Zhang.
In that case, he would just let this Consort Zhang be finished off as soon as possible.
Liang Jin thought this way, naturally having his own confidence.
These days, he had accumulated some intelligence through the system, including some useful information.
Liang Jin flipped through the intelligence panel and found that there was a piece of information about Consort Zhang yesterday.
It was still an unfavorable piece of information.
[Intelligence 1: Yao Yang, the head eunuch of Changchun Palace, has been ordered to leave the palace and discuss with Earl Ruian the assassination of Monk Wushang of Dafosi Temple. They will take action within the next few days.]
As long as Su Lian could live well, he could completely ignore this piece of information.
But now that Consort Zhang had bullied Su Lian, Liang Jin couldn't turn a blind eye.
As for how to make good use of this piece of information, it still needed to be carefully considered.
Zhao Bao was one of his own and could also help.
If he couldn't help, Liang Jin had other ways.
After all, there were still undercover agents from the Dragon Transformation Gate in this palace.
Immediately, Liang Jin said:
"Xiao Lian, don't be sad."
"Go back first and be steady when serving the Consort."
"It won't be long before I will definitely help you solve it."
Su Lian wiped away her tears upon hearing this and nodded.
She turned to look at Zhao Bao and apologized:
"Brother Bao, I was too stupid to speak before and said some bad things."
"I apologize to you, Brother Bao, I'm sorry."
As Su Lian spoke, she bowed to Zhao Bao.
Zhao Bao hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Xiao Lian, there's no need to do this, really no need!"
"I never took those words to heart, don't be like this, really!"
"Don't worry, I will also find a way to help you, give me some time."
Su Lian looked at Zhao Bao and then at Liang Jin.
She smiled easily, a smile as clean and bright as a newly wiped silver pot.
She was already very content to have two older brothers who cared about her in this cold palace.
She only came today to find someone to confide in and vent her depression.
"Oh right, this is for you."
As Su Lian spoke, she took out two lucky bags from her bosom and handed them to Liang Jin and Zhao Bao respectively.
"I stole some unused scraps of fabric and secretly sewed two lucky bags."
"These are sewn according to the lucky bags that the Consort got from Dafosi Temple, take them back and bury them in the ground in your room, they say they are very effective!"
After Su Lian finished speaking, she looked at the two of them again before turning and leaving.
Zhao Bao and Liang Jin held the lucky bags in their hands, looking at her departing figure, feeling a burst of emotion in their hearts.
After Su Lian left, Liang Jin said to Zhao Bao:
"Su Lian's matter, I'm afraid I need your help."
"This is not the place to talk, let's talk in detail at Zuifeng Tower in the city tomorrow."
Zhao Bao understood in his heart.
He nodded and then left as well.
He also needed to go back and think of a way.
Liang Jin then returned to his post.
He glanced at Xue Feng, about to speak.
But Xue Feng had already spoken:
"I've already said, I didn't see anything."
Liang Jin then cupped his fist towards Xue Feng to show his gratitude.
Imperial guards, eunuchs, and palace maids, it was against the rules for these people to chat together.
Although this situation was not uncommon in the palace.
But he was afraid that someone would use it to make a fuss, then the matter would become big or small.
It was naturally best if Xue Feng could pretend not to see it.
At this time.
He only heard Xue Feng say meaningfully:
"You don't need to thank me."
"I can't see your business, and you can't see my business."
"This is good for everyone."
Liang Jin was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
Xue Feng was deliberately transferred to this position, could it be that he not only wanted a leisurely job.
But had other plans?
Thinking of this, Liang Jin couldn't help but open the intelligence panel, browsing through the intelligence he had obtained these days, to see if he could find some clues from it.
These days, Liang Jin had already discovered that although the amount of intelligence he obtained in the palace was small, basically only one piece of intelligence could be obtained every day.
But the value of the intelligence in the palace was far more important than the intelligence on Dragon Transformation Island.
The clones on Dragon Transformation Island could often generate several pieces of intelligence at a time, but most of them were meaningless.
This allowed Liang Jin to roughly understand the mechanism.
The palace was densely populated, the interrelationships were great, and there were many people coming and going.
The capital city near the palace was one of the places with the highest population density in the world.
There is a saying that if you don't come to the capital, you don't know that your official position is small.
It can be seen that many people in the capital have great weight and energy.
Therefore, even if there was very little intelligence every day, it was still particularly important.
In contrast, Dragon Transformation Island.
The island was sparsely populated, surrounded by a vast sea, there were not many people, the personnel came and went very little, and the personnel were very stable.
Even if there were islands nearby, they had become isolated, and it was difficult to have contact with each other.
For this kind of situation, many sources of intelligence would be some islands, or directly from the sea.
The valuable intelligence would be much less.
After understanding this, Liang Jin paid special attention to the intelligence he obtained in the palace.
He would carefully remember every piece of intelligence.
"It seems that I haven't gotten any intelligence about Xue Feng yet?"
"This guy is mysterious, what is he doing?"
Liang Jin browsed through the intelligence of these days, but couldn't find anything related to Xue Feng.
This was also normal.
There were so many people in the palace, it was already very rare for him to get intelligence related to Consort Zhang.
Liang Jin didn't even know who some other people were.
In the end, Liang Jin's identity and status were too low.
An ordinary soldier only knew the people in the circle of imperial guards around him.
Leaving this circle, he really didn't know anyone.
This also made his information source too small and his information surface too narrow.
At this time.
Suddenly, a large group of people walked over.
Liang Jin and Xue Feng hurriedly stood up straight.
They had already seen that the group of people who came were not simple.
The leading eunuch was arrogant and looked very powerful.
He was also followed by a group of small eunuchs.
In addition to the small eunuchs, there were also two imperial guard officials following.
One of them was a battalion commander, who was also the highest-ranking official in the imperial guards that a soldier like Liang Jin could see.
The other was an old acquaintance, Wu Huan.
The battalion commander was flattering the leading eunuch with a look of ingratiation, constantly saying enthusiastic words.
But the leading eunuch ignored him, as if he didn't take the battalion commander seriously at all.
And Wu Huan could only follow at the end, not even qualified to step forward and flatter him.
Liang Jin was secretly shocked when he saw it from a distance:
"Chief Eunuch Che Ziyi of the Shangshan Supervisor?"
"What is such a big shot doing here?"
He had already recognized him through his official uniform, the leading eunuch was the Chief Eunuch Che Ziyi of the Shangshan Supervisor.
Although the Shangshan Supervisor did not have much power, it was a fat and greasy department in the palace that could make people jealous.
In particular, the seal-holding eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor was often sent out as a military supervisor of the army, which shows that he was deeply trusted by the emperor.
And this Che Ziyi was the second-in-command of the Shangshan Supervisor, which shows how high his position was and how great his power was.
It stands to reason that this kind of person would not easily set foot in this remote place.
Liang Jin was thinking, this group of people had already walked over.
Che Ziyi didn't even look at Liang Jin, who was standing guard here, but pointed to the corner of the wall with his hand and said in a sharp, thin voice:
"This place is not bad, remote enough, this is it!"
"The New Year is coming soon, and putting that big fat pig here can just avoid his filthy and stinky aura from colliding with the court sacrifices and celebrations."
Speaking of this, Che Ziyi waved to the back:
"You brats! Carry the Pig King here."
Following Che Ziyi's order, a group of small eunuchs actually carried a large iron cage over.
What surprised Liang Jin was.
There was actually a person locked in that big iron cage!
It was a middle-aged man with a fat body, naked, and fair-skinned.
He had disheveled hair and a dirty face, his eyes were dull, and he would hum and haw like a pig from time to time.
It seemed that he was already mentally deranged.
After the little eunuchs carried the iron cage to the corner of the wall, the fat man in the cage actually started defecating in front of everyone.
Even after defecating, he actually grabbed the excrement and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it as if he was tasting a delicacy.
While eating, he even giggled foolishly, and even stretched his hand holding the excrement out of the cage, as if he wanted to invite everyone to taste it.
This scene was really disgusting.
There will be more updates later.
