Broken wings

Ouyang Qian walked for almost an hour before coming to Chengming Palace, and when he saw Yuan Zhen, he still felt a little strange, as if the two had not seen each other for a long time, but in fact, it was only a few days. He only thought that his father-in-law didn't trust him anymore, and he had committed his father-in-law's taboo, and there would be no future for him, so his heart was like ashes, and he immediately bowed down with a stiff face and said: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Feng Shi'an, who was on the side, secretly glanced at Yuan Zhen's face, and couldn't help but mention softly: "Child, when you see the emperor, you want to pay homage, you are a person in the miscellaneous room, and you want to call yourself a slave." Feng Shi'an knew that he used to be a noble prince, but now his identity has been deprived, even a commoner is not as good, the past scenery is just the past, and the current identity should be what to do.

Ouyang Qian bowed to Feng Shi'an and whispered, "Thank you father-in-law for your advice." Then he knelt down in his clothes, bowed down again, and said, "Slave Ouyang Qian pays a visit to the emperor." "

Knowing that he was obedient, but he didn't expect him to be obedient to such a point, Yuan Zhen felt a slight disappointment in his heart, and lowered his gaze a little to see his bandaged hands. Raising his head slightly, he motioned for Feng Shi'an to go down, and he bowed down and retreated.

"Ouyang Qian, from now on, you are not only a miscellaneous servant in the miscellaneous room, but also my personal guard, Qin Ke, the commander of the guards, will give you a duty list, and when it is your turn to be on duty, you will come to the Chengming Palace to protect my safety at all times, understand?"

Ouyang Qian's heart was very sour and uncomfortable, suppressing the tears that came out of his eyes, his vision was all blurry, he couldn't see anything clearly, and bowed down and said, "Yes." "

Seeing that his eyes were full of sorrow, Yuan Zhen just glared at him and cried, What do you have to cry about? I let you go into the miscellaneous room just to let you avoid the limelight, and in the current situation, as long as you nod your head, you will be bitten and blamed for you, I am to protect your safety, and you are still crying? You always say that you always know what I mean by looking at my face, but now it seems that it is pure nonsense, and I can't even guess my intention in sending you to the miscellaneous room, and you still expect you to live by looking at my face in the future?

"I'll report to the guard's room this afternoon, and I'll come back to serve after learning the rules, I hope to see you next time, don't let me down again." "I go to the guard room every day to learn the rules, although the rules are many, smelly and long, and a bit of a brain-consuming, but at least for the next half a month, he doesn't have to work in the miscellaneous room, and he can take care of his injuries.

Ouyang Qian sniffed, exhaled a long breath, bowed and said, "Yes, the slave is retiring." "

Feng Shi'an saw that he had something to say, so he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty?" Yuan Zhen took out a few bottles and said, "You send it to him when you go back, so that he can take care of his injuries, and say that it was given to him when he was alone." "

"Yes. Feng Shi'an bowed down and took it, and said with a smile, "The emperor cares about him and doesn't ......let him know

about it."

Yuan Zhen waved his hand weakly, and Feng Shi'an retreated.

Qin Ke, the commander of the guards, is a righteous and loyal young man, seven years older than Ouyang Qian, and when he taught him the rules, he enlightened him to think about it, even if the emperor didn't want him, he could still touch the ideal by himself. As long as his ability is excellent enough, I believe that the emperor will also hand over the military power to him, and over time, Ouyang Qian also trusts Qin Ke quite a lot, and he calls Brother Qin in private.

"Ziyi, you have almost learned the rules, you can go to protect the emperor, I will send someone to you when I draw up the duty list. When Qin Ke was almost learning the rules, he patted him on the shoulder and put a thousand words into one sentence, "Do a good job." "

"Thank you, Commander. Ouyang Qian bowed down and thanked him, and then went back to the miscellaneous room.

Ouyang Qian lived in that small firewood house, all the conditions were the worst, the bedding was as hard as iron, the bed was crooked as if it was about to collapse, and there were rats 'squeaking' at night, and every day when he looked up, he could see the moon in the sky through the hole. Of course, this is also what Yuan Zhen meant, let him suffer a little, only to know that a good life is not easy to come by, he lived too much in the past, let him live in the bottom world once to know how happy he was before, and he will be strict with himself in the future, and never make brainless moves.

Qin Ke would give Ouyang Qian a duty list every month, on which there was a queue of who should be on duty every day, and when Ouyang Qian was not on duty on weekdays, he would help in the miscellaneous room, and when it was his turn to be on duty, he would go to Chengming Palace.

Ouyang Qian struggled to carry a large bucket, he wanted to move this bucket of water to the laundry place, so that those who wash clothes could use it, but the bucket was too big, it was really difficult to move, so

Ouyang Qian found a few small wooden buckets, and wanted to move them over several times, but a few people who love to make things on weekdays saw it, so they walked over with their chin raised, and said: "What are you doing? Let you carry the bucket of water, grinding and chirping for half an hour has not arrived, are you lazy?"

Ouyang Qian wiped his sweat and shook his chin: "Steward, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that this barrel is too big, and it's really hard to move ......

."

"I think you're just making excuses, why can't this bucket be moved? Look at it!" the steward said, "You guys, come and move together." A few of the Fox Fake Huwei's men and the steward lifted the barrel and moved it to the laundry, and then walked a few steps and put it down, "See, what's so difficult?"

Ouyang Qian smiled: "What the steward said is very much, I see that you move quite easily, unlike me who is clumsy, then this barrel, you should move it, I will be busy with other things." "

"Stop!" the steward called to him, "your wishful thinking is loud, this work is yours, what do you want to be punished, right?"

"There are several of you, but I am only one person, and it is common for me to move slowly, so please take care of the stewardship. "

"Heh, I think you just owe a beating! Brother, hit. As soon as the steward gave the order, several of his subordinates rolled up their sleeves and were about to beat him, Ouyang Qian dodged away, still smiling, "Steward, this court is in public, and the steward's face can't get by, I know it's wrong, I must be diligent and diligent in my work in the future, but please observe the steward." "

"This new kid is not small, ah, and he has taken care of my face, you say, should he be punished?"

"Deserve to be punished, deserve to be punished!".

"Did you hear it?" they all said that you should be punished, obediently receive the punishment, what more words?" The steward looked arrogant, and a few of his subordinates went to get him, Ouyang Qian first entered the miscellaneous room, how much power this person has under his hands I don't know, if I really make a move, I am afraid that I will attack it in groups, if it reaches the ears of my father-in-law, I am afraid that I will feel that I am restless, and I will be punished. Ouyang Qian was arrested, and several people took him to a no-man's land, beat him severely, and beat him hard in places that could not be seen by the human eye, which showed that he had been doing evil for a long time.

The steward motioned for them to put him up, grabbed Ouyang Qian's collar and said: "When you enter the miscellaneous room, you are the mud under my feet, I don't like you, you will only be beaten, if you dare to resist, I will let you disappear in this world silently, do you hear?"

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Ouyang Qian coughed up a few pieces of blood foam, and said in a dumb voice, "I understand......

."

"Today is just to teach you a lesson, and the next time you dare to provoke, you will be directly slashed in the neck. The steward motioned for some of his men to let them go, and they departed.

Ouyang Qian covered his ribs, his whole body ached, wiped the blood stains from his mouth, and chuckled, he couldn't help but sigh at the ups and downs of life, and he would one day fall into this kind of field. Fortunately, they only had some brute strength, so they didn't cause much damage, Ouyang Qian stood up against the wall, and went back to carry the bucket.

When Chu Yan

gave him medicine in the evening, he asked the reason for this incident, Ouyang Qian said, Chu Yan only said that the steward was ruthless, and a group of people led by his subordinates were also outlaws, no one dared to provoke them in the miscellaneous room, they had already killed a lot of people, but the people in the miscellaneous room were all unrelated and unrelated, and no one would seek revenge if they died.

Ouyang Qian thought thoughtfully: "Isn't there anyone in the palace who has a record of the personnel? They killed people, how should the dead be settled?"

"Only every time a large number of minions enter and exit, someone will record the number of people in the miscellaneous room, but after all, the miscellaneous room is soft-spoken, no one pays attention, even if there are fewer people, as long as some benefits are given to the recorded personnel, they will help to conceal the fraud. As for the dead, they often put the dead on the cart that transported vegetables into the palace and pulled them out, just give the coachman a little benefit. "

"How dare they disregard human life like this!" Ouyang Qian slapped the table violently, startling Chu Yan, and sighed, "This is also a helpless thing, the law of the jungle is the norm in the world. "

"If we count according to what they say, that is, whoever is bold and not afraid of death can dominate the lives of others at will? No matter what the reason, no matter who is right or wrong, if he can't fight, he can only die in vain?"

"Over the years, it has always been like this, whoever is powerful can always live more comfortably. "

"I don't believe that most of the whole miscellaneous house is outlaws, but what about those honest people, why do they not complain when they are oppressed all the time?".

In the early years, some people could not bear the oppression and tried to ask the imperial power for protection, but how could the Kunpeng in the sky see the ants on the ground? Before their words reached the ears of the emperor, they were brutally murdered. "

"Damn! Such a cruelty to human life, how can such a vicious person exist in the world!"

Chu Yan sighed, it was really a young man's spirit, if he stayed in the miscellaneous room for a year and a half, I am afraid he would also feel accustomed to it.
