Eunuch Qian didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an's first words to him would be, "Come here, tie up that villain for me!"
Not only that, but he was also very rude and pointed at his nose. Since he left the capital, no matter where he went or who he met, everyone flattered him. He had never been treated like this before! In the eyes of Eunuch Qian, this was a great shame and humiliation.
So, Eunuch Qian was so angry that he was shaking all over, so angry that he wanted to explode on the spot, and so angry that he was furious.
"Zhu Ping'an, don't be rude. This is Eunuch Qian from the palace." When County Magistrate Zhang and others heard that Zhu Ping'an actually had Eunuch Qian tied up, they were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time. It was not until Eunuch Qian hysterically cursed Zhu Ping'an, "How dare you, you thief," that they came to their senses and shouted at Zhu Ping'an again and again.
“Tie him up!”
Zhu Ping'an turned a deaf ear to the calls of Eunuch Qian and others.
After the defense of Jingnan, Zhu Ping'an had already established absolute prestige among the yamen runners, just like the prestige of a general in the hearts of soldiers. At Zhu Ping'an's command, the yamen runners carried out the order without hesitation. Under the leadership of Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and other brave generals, they pounced on Eunuch Qian like wolves and tigers.
Eunuch Qian never expected that Zhu Ping'an would actually dare to do it for real. Seeing the yamen runners rushing at him like wolves and tigers, he was immediately frightened and sweated profusely. He shouted, "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor, quickly protect my family!"
When he came, he brought four guards with swords. He asked his godfather Chen Hong to equip him with these. All of them were experts who were specifically assigned to protect him.
After Eunuch Qian shouted, four guards with swords stepped forward and stood in front of Eunuch Qian to protect him.
These four guards were indeed very skilled, but Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and others were not to be trifled with either. In addition, they had more than twenty brothers behind them, so they had more numbers and were able to quickly subdue the four guards.
After the four guards were subdued, Eunuch Qian was like a little white rabbit trapped in a corner by a pack of vicious wolves.
Struggling, intimidation, hysterical threats... ... and then being subdued and tied up without any suspense. County Magistrate Zhang and others tried to rescue Eunuch Qian, but in front of the thirty yamen runners who had experienced bloody battles, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, useless and even a little ridiculous.
"Zhu Ping'an, I'm working for the emperor, purchasing gold, treasures and pearls. How dare you arrest me and delay the emperor's mission? You'll have several heads left to chop off. If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly and kowtow to me. Then I will pretend nothing happened." Eunuch Qian was tied up, and he jumped high and struggled, while shouting at Zhu Ping'an in exasperation and at the top of his lungs.
"Yes, Zhu Ping'an, Eunuch Qian is the emperor's envoy. You can't afford to offend him if you delay his mission."
County Magistrate Zhang and others also hurriedly shouted, Eunuch Qian is their life-saving straw, how can they not be nervous.
"Oh, you scoundrel, you actually dared to pretend to be an imperial envoy. You are so bold! The emperor is a man of great talent and strategy, knows how to appoint people, cares for the people, and loves the people like his own children. The imperial envoys sent by the emperor are naturally impartial, harmless, and compassionate to the people. How could they break into the post station, beat up the county officials, and rob the people's heirlooms like you?! You scoundrel have committed many evil deeds, and you even dared to use the emperor's name. You are really guilty of an even greater crime! Slap your face hard, and see if you dare to talk nonsense and pretend to be an imperial envoy again!"
Zhu Ping'an curled the corners of his lips slightly and sneered. He did not acknowledge Eunuch Qian's identity at all and gave orders in a stern voice.
"How dare you, you thief?!" Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qian was sweating profusely and shouted at Zhu Ping'an in a timid manner.
As soon as Eunuch Qian finished speaking, he saw a bamboo board enlarged in his sight, and then with a "snap" sound, it came into close contact with his mouth. Instantly, he felt a sharp pain and the smell of blood immediately surged... ...
Snap, Snap, Snap, the bamboo sticks were used to swing left and right, hitting Eunuch Qian ten times in the face.
Eunuch Qian was howling like a ghost, his mouth was swollen and full of blood.
When County Magistrate Zhang saw this scene, his eyes suddenly went dark, he staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
When the clerks who had been dismissed from their posts saw this scene, their mouths opened wide and they felt a chill in their hearts.
It's bad, it's bad, Zhu Ping'an is too fierce, just like a mad dog, he bites whoever he catches!
Eunuch Qian was their life-saving straw. They had originally thought of using Eunuch Qian to intimidate Zhu Ping'an and make him surrender, but they had never expected the outcome to be like this. The enemy and us had just come into contact when their commander was captured alive and trampled underfoot.
At the gate of the post house, Xiao Congzi and two clerks dragged their buttocks full of wounds, gritted their teeth and endured the pain to ride a carriage to the gate. They hired a carriage at the gate of the county government with a large sum of money, and sent them to the post house at full speed, wanting to inform eunuch Qian that Zhu Ping'an had come with bad intentions, so he asked eunuch Qian to be prepared.
"Eunuch Qian, something terrible has happened... ah?!"
Xiao Congzi and two clerks supported each other as they walked into the posthouse. Just as they were about to report, they saw Eunuch Qian being slapped in the face.
Oh my god... Suddenly, Xiao Congzi's eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground out of fright...
After being slapped, Eunuch Qian's mouth was full of blood. He looked like a madman, gritting his teeth and shouting hysterically at Zhu Ping'an, "Zhu Ping'an, how dare you humiliate me like this! My godfather is Eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Administration. You dare to hit me, I think you are too bold! When I go back and report to my godfather, I will make sure you move your head! If you let me go now, kowtow to me ten times, and let me slap you thirty times, I can still consider sparing you!"
"Eunuch Chen Hong, the chief eunuch in charge of the Imperial Stables. I have also heard of Eunuch Chen's name..." Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his mouth and spoke lightly.
"You're scared now, right? Why don't you let me go!" Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qian raised his neck high.
"Eunuch Chen is well-known for being impartial, law-abiding, conscientious, gentle, and never overstepping his authority, let alone bullying others. Well, the godson he chose must be as good as him, and he is not a tyrant like you who bullies others, robs others, and acts tyrannically! Just now you pretended to be the emperor's messenger, and now you pretend to be Eunuch Chen's godson. It seems that the slap in the face just now has no effect. You dare to talk nonsense! Come on, slap me again, I want to see if he dares to pretend and deceive me again!"
Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his mouth, revealed a sneer, and ordered a slap again.
"Zhu Ping'an, how dare you?!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qian trembled all over and widened his eyes in disbelief.
Bamboo board strikes again!
Pa, pa, pa, another ten slaps in the face. This time, not only was Eunuch Qian's mouth full of blood, but he also lost a tooth.
