Chapter 64 Suspicion
Wei Chengji was furious, even more furious than the fire scene next to him.
Since he took charge of Yanqu Hall, he has never had so many bad things.
This year, he seemed to have offended Tai Sui, and disasters continued.
It was hard for him not to feel that someone was targeting him.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Wei Chengji picked up Deng Weixian's collar with one hand and lifted him up.
During the whole process, Yinfang Eunuch downplayed it as if he had done something insignificant.
Deng Weixian's breathing stagnated, and unspeakable fear came over him.
He knew how powerful this Yinfang Eunuch was, and killing him might just be a matter of waving his hand.
Deng Weixian knew that if he made any mistakes in his response, he would be finished.
He quickly adjusted his mentality, but did not hide his fear.
"Report, report to the eunuch, I passed by here and saw the fire, so I called for help."
"I was afraid that there were still people inside, so I rushed in to see, and found Wang Cairen in the room, and then I..."
Deng Weixian stammered and gestured with his hands. Finally, he looked at Wang Suyue who was being treated at the side, and was stunned and couldn't say the next word.
Next, he didn't need to continue.
Because many people witnessed Deng Weixian's heroic figure in rescuing Wang Suyue from the fire.
Wei Chengji could easily verify the latter half.
The important thing is how much truth there is in Deng Weixian's first half of the words.
Wei Chengji has been in this palace for so many years, so he naturally won't believe anyone's words.
He brought Deng Weixian in front of him, stared at him with a cold look, and asked word by word:
"Then why are you here?"
Under this huge pressure, Deng Weixian couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
But he remembered what his godfather said to him last night.
"The less you know, the better it is for you."
"When the time comes, you'd better forget our conversation now."
Deng Weixian slightly circulated the icy breath in his body to make his mind clearer. Then his eyes lit up and he answered the eunuch in the seal room:
"My lord, I am too tired after work and have no appetite, so I plan to go back to my room to rest."
"I was responsible for sweeping the front hall today, and I just finished my work at the hour of You."
"Please understand, lord!"
Wei Chengji listened After this explanation, he did not let go of his hand, but turned to his accompanying eunuch and asked: "Bring over the person who is responsible for sweeping the front hall with him today."
The accompanying eunuch looked embarrassed, and then leaned close to Wei Chengji's ear and whispered: "My Lord, there is only one person."
"Huh?" Wei Chengji frowned immediately, looking confused: "How can one person sweep the front hall?"
"Who brought him, how dare he do so!"
Although there are many jobs in the palace, the division of labor is clear.
It has been arranged that several people will do one job.
Everyone just takes turns, and they always have to do a round.
But there is only one person to do the work of three people, which is a problem.
Not only are some people lazy, but if it is a bigger problem, it may also cause the problem of eating empty salaries.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows about it, it will not be something that one or two people can handle at that time, and I am afraid that many people will be implicated.
After all, the money embezzled is the royal silver.
With such a boldness, do you still want to live?
Wei Chengji was already in a bad mood, and now he was on the verge of exploding.
"Eunuch, you misunderstood. It's not what you think."
The accompanying eunuch saw that Wei Chengji was wrong and hurried to explain.
At this time, Deng Weixian's face was already flushed, and he quickly said:
"Eunuch, I was brought by Eunuch Huang, and Xiao Zhuotai also entered the Yanqu Hall at the same time as me."
After this, even the eunuch in the seal room fell silent, and then loosened Deng Weixian's collar and let him fall to the ground.
Others also had strange expressions on their faces, and looked at Deng Weixian with strange eyes.
"Take good care of him and don't let him walk around at will!"
"What are the others still standing there for?"
"Hurry up and put out the fire for me!"
"Are you dissatisfied that the fire is not big enough!?"
Wei Chengji was spitting, and he was obviously extremely angry.
Now the sun has just set and it will be dark.
The fire on their side is so bright that I am afraid that everyone in the palace can see it.
"What a bad luck!" Wei Chengji cursed angrily, and then walked towards the gate of Yanqu Hall. Next, he had to deal with inquiries from unknown groups of people. If he didn't pretend to be a grandson, he would have a hard time explaining himself. And tomorrow... He didn't want to think about it anymore. "What kind of a shitty seal room is this? It's better not to be one!" If he continued to be so worried, Wei Chengji was afraid that he would not live for many years. Deng Weixian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the figure of the seal room master disappear.
Anyway, he managed to fool around.
He sat on the ground to rest, too lazy to move.
Having just escaped death in a fire not long ago, Deng Weixian was also terrified.
Especially dealing with the questioning of Yinfang Eunuch later, it took him a lot of effort.
At this time, he finally understood what his godfather said last night.
"Act according to circumstances, forget about the conversation..."
"It's all to make me reveal as few flaws as possible."
Deng Weixian looked at the direction where Yinfang Eunuch left, but he was still worried.
He could clearly feel that Yinfang Eunuch still had many doubts about him, but he just didn't have time to pay attention to him now.
If he looked into it in detail later, he really didn't know how to deal with it.
Deng Weixian lowered his head and thought to himself, and he looked like he was still in shock.
Two eunuchs accompanying Yinfang Eunuch stayed beside Deng Weixian to guard him.
But they always kept a distance and were unwilling to get too close.
Not long after this guy came to Yanqu Palace, he killed two people around him one after another.
Who dares to approach such a tough person?
The eunuchs and maids in the palace all believe in these metaphysics, so they regard Deng Weixian as a star of misfortune, and whoever gets close to him will be unlucky.
Deng Weixian was thinking about his own problems and did not notice the change in people's attitude towards him.
As more and more people came to put out the fire, the fire was gradually brought under control.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from not far away:
"Wang Cairen has woken up, Wang Cairen has woken up, go and inform the eunuch!"
Deng Weixian was attracted by the voice and turned his head to see that Wang Suyue had woken up in a daze.
She saw a lot of people around her and was still a little confused. As a result, she was stunned when she saw the fire in the distance.
Wang Suyue quickly recognized that it was her room, but she didn't remember what happened at all?
"What happened?"
She held her forehead, looking a little uncomfortable, and her body swayed.
A maid in charge of serving hurried forward to support her, and then asked nervously: "Wang Cairen, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wang Suyue shook her head: "I'm just a little dizzy, what happened?"
"Wang Cairen, your room is flooded, you were almost burned to death!"
Wang Suyue couldn't help but tremble when she heard this.
