Chapter 165 Wu Sansi beats up the eunuch
Li Cunxi naturally did not have any silver or anything like that, but he had a document.
However, this eunuch is definitely not qualified to read that clerk.
It seems that even Li Cunxi, the eighth-rank Senior Censor who was highly praised by all the civil and military officials in the court, could not escape this punishment.
A group of officials looked at the eunuch with an expression of watching a good show, thinking that this person really didn't know how to live or die. Recently, Li Cunxi, who was so arrogant and had many forces behind him, came to court for the first time. This worthless eunuch actually dared to ask Li Cunxi for the silver. Did he think that the eunuch official Zhu Li, who was backed by a mere Wu Sansi, could stop Li Cunxi from killing him?
On second thought, perhaps this eunuch didn't know Li Cunxi at all. He only knew Li Cunxi's name but had never seen Li Cunxi. It was reasonable for him to ask Li Cunxi for the allowance.
After all, the emperor gave this task to Wu Sansi's brother-in-law Zhu Liren. Zhu Liren was an ungrateful man who really thought that all the civil and military officials in the court had to rely on his brother-in-law Wu Sansi. Therefore, except for a few specific court officials, almost every court official had paid tribute to Zhu Liren.
If the Zhuli people are like this, then the eunuchs under them must be no exception. This time, the eunuch took the initiative to ask Li Cunxi for Xiaoqing. The Zhuli people will get 80% of the silver, and the eunuch can keep 20% for himself to live a comfortable life.
The eunuch proudly stretched out his hand, as if he would make trouble if you didn't give him money.
After taking a calm glance at the eunuch, Li Cunxi let out a breath, sat back in his seat, and said:
"I don't care who you are. If you have the guts to do that, don't mention my name."
Wu Sansi, who had just returned from outside, changed his expression when he saw this scene.
This familiar scene last happened more than ten years ago, when Wu Chengsi went to court for the first time. The eunuch at that time asked Wu Chengsi for silver, but Wu Chengsi did not give it. Then the eunuch gave a false name and prevented Wu Chengsi from going to court.
Wu Chengsi was also ruthless enough. He took out the imperial scepter and beat the eunuch to death, thus completely eradicating this bad habit.
More than ten years later, Li Cunxi also encountered such treatment, but not only did he not beat the eunuch to death, but he sat there motionless, like an old monk in meditation.
The eunuch was furious and roared, "I'm telling you, you bastard, don't think that just because you are a mere eighth-rank official, you can put on airs in front of my master. I want this silver for my master, not for myself. If you don't give it to me, you'll be slapping my master in the face!"
Li Cunxi was waiting for this eunuch to introduce himself, so he tilted his head and showed a weird smile: "Who is your master?"
"Zhu Liren, a royal relative!" The eunuch was so proud that he didn't know that death was approaching.
"Shut up!" Wu Sansi roared from behind, his anger almost turning into substance.
Li Cunxi smiled at Wu Sansi and said, "Stop it, I just didn't give you the regular silver. If I don't respect you, I can't see the emperor?"
"Hmph, you know you're wrong?" The eunuch stretched out his hand again. "Before, you paid 1600 taels of silver and I put your name on the list. Now you have to pay 3200 taels. If you pay one tael less, you won't be able to see the emperor."
If it weren't for the presence of many ministers and the need to save his dignity, Wu Sansi would have beaten this eunuch to death with his imperial scepter.
The eunuch was talking about the Juli people, but in fact he was slapping Wu Sansi's pig face hard.
Li Cunxi is not a good person to begin with. Why would you, a eunuch, pick on the Censor Li Cunxi when there are so many other people to pick on?
He has the support of King Wei and Di Renjie. He can kill your entire clan just by mentioning your name. And you dare to ask for salary without even asking his name.
Has your mother had enough?
"Shut up, you dog-head, how dare you talk to Lord Li!"
Wu Sansi broke away from Wu Chengsi who had stopped him early in the morning, came to Li Cunxi, and said righteously:
"You dog-head, you know that Lord Li is a loyal minister in the court. How dare you ask Lord Li for the silver? I think you are going to die!"
The eunuch was about to scold this person who interfered, but when he looked closely, he realized that it was Liang Wang Wu Sansi, so he quickly put on a smile and said:
"Your Highness Prince Liang, it's not that I'm ignorant, but that this man is too hateful. Since Lord Zhu took office, all civil and military officials have to pay a small amount of silver when they first come to court. Isn't this known to all the officials in the capital?"
"But this person not only refuses to hand it over, but also keeps barking like a dog..."
Seeing that the eunuch was still going to speak rudely and insult Li Cunxi, Wu Sansi really felt that his brother-in-law would be killed without a burial place, so he immediately raised the imperial tablet and hit the eunuch on the head.
The force was so great that the eunuch screamed and sat down on the ground, covering his head and screaming.
"You damned dog-head, you are so blind, how could you not recognize the Censor Li Cunxi?"
"How dare you speak rudely and frame the Huangmen official here? I think you are tired of living!"
"Hurry up and kneel down to apologize to Lord Li, otherwise I will kill you, you dog-head, and see if you can still..."
Li Cunxi smiled and grabbed Wu Sansi's hand which was about to fall.
He smiled meaningfully, and the expression on his face was truly intriguing. I always felt that his smile was filled with... other meanings.
"Hey, Your Highness Prince Liang, what are you doing? The eunuch wants my salary. Don't worry, I will send 3200 taels of silver to the eunuch Zhu Liren's house after I leave the court."
"Don't make things difficult for the eunuch. How could he not know me, Li Cunxi? When he first asked me for the silver, I told him that my name was Li Cunxi."
Li Cunxi was smiling and making up nonsense. Whether he said his name was Li Cunxi or not was entirely up to him.
So what if he didn't say it? It's the same as if he didn't say it. Who of these people dares to say that he, Li Cunxi, didn't say it.
Saying it is the same as not saying it, and not saying it is the same as saying it. In the end, is it said or not said, or is it said and not said at the same time? Isn't it the same as saying not saying it?
He, Li Cunxi, stood here, Wu Chengsi and Di Renjie stood opposite him. He said what he said, and he meant what he said.
Wu Sansi glared at the eunuch who was still covering his head and crying in pain, raised his foot, kicked the eunuch to the ground, and then raised his imperial staff to beat him.
"You damned dog head, get up quickly and beg for mercy from Lord Li Cunxi!"
The eunuch was beaten and felt extremely wronged. He got up and kowtowed to Li Cunxi for mercy.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, the Censor, Grandpa Li, please, spare me. I have an 80-year-old child and a 3-year-old mother. If I die, how will my 80-year-old child and 3-year-old mother survive?"
Li Cunxi sat steadily and said:
"Since you say so, then bring your eighty-year-old child and your three-year-old mother."
"I want to see how your three-year-old mother gave birth to your thirty-year-old son."
