Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 520: Chasing the Cicada in Eight Steps

At the same time, the godfather will actively help his godson to seek a promotion. On the one hand, it is for the sake of affection, and on the other hand, it is also to push his godson to a high position, so that when he steps down one day in the future, his godson can protect him and keep his wealth.

In this regard, the eunuchs can be said to have inherited the tradition in an orderly manner.

However, Xu Xianchun was not concerned about these things, but the little eunuch in front of him named Chen Sheng.

Given Chen Hong's current status in the palace, there are many eunuchs who fawn over him, and even more who want to be his godson. The fact that Chen Sheng was able to stand out from the crowd shows that he has extraordinary means.

"Okay, then just follow Lord Xu. Do you understand what to do?" Chen Hong looked at Chen Sheng and asked directly.

"I understand, don't worry, godfather." Chen Sheng nodded and said.

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you." After looking at Xu Xianchun, Chen Hong turned around and looked at Zhang Wei and said, "This guy has no self-awareness. He died without even knowing how he died."

After saying that, Chen Hong sighed, turned around and walked outside.

Chen Sheng respectfully sent Chen Hong away.

After Chen Hong left, Chen Sheng turned to look at Xu Xianchun, bowed respectfully, and said with a gentle smile on his face, "Please take care of me, Master Xu."

"You're too polite, sir." Xu Xianchun said to Chen Sheng.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Chen Sheng turned to Zhang Wei and said, "Master Xu, since it's inconvenient for you, let me handle this matter. I'll give you an explanation later."

Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Eunuch Chen."

Chen Sheng waved outside.

Four young and strong eunuchs walked in. They glanced at Chen Sheng, bowed and said, "Greetings, Eunuch Chen."

"Go to the eunuch's mansion and bring Zhang Wei's confidants. Then arrest a few more, maybe seven or eight."

"Yes, Eunuch Chen." Several eunuchs agreed, turned around and walked out.

Chen Sheng turned to look at Xu Xianchun and said, "Master Xu, could you send a few people to follow? After all, our people are not good at this. Don't let them get away halfway."

"Okay, Eunuch Chen." Xu Xianchun agreed readily, turned around and ordered someone to follow.

It didn't take long before the people were brought in. There were eight eunuchs in total, and they knelt in a row outside.

These people all follow Zhang Wei and serve him on a daily basis. Some of them are his confidants, and some are not.

Chen Sheng said to the people in the room, "Bring Zhang Wei out."

Soon someone brought Zhang Wei out.

Zhang Wei's face was pale at this moment, knowing that he was really finished this time. He had no intention of resisting at all, there was no hope at all, there was nothing he could do.

Chen Sheng glanced at Zhang Wei and said to several strong eunuchs, "Take him down and break his legs first."

As soon as he finished speaking, two eunuchs came up, pulled Zhang Wei down, and pressed him directly onto a blood-stained bench.

Then two more eunuchs came over, holding wide and thick boards in their hands and started beating them.

First they were beaten with a stick, and then they were driven down.

Chen Sheng watched this scene and turned to Xu Xianchun beside him and said, "Master Xu, do you know what this move is called?"

Xu Xianchun glanced at the two eunuchs beating the cicadas with sticks and said with a smile, "Eight steps to chase the cicada."

After hearing this, Chen Sheng immediately laughed and said, "Master Xu is really insightful."

"Can they do it?" Xu Xianchun continued to look at the two eunuchs, then turned to Chen Sheng and asked, "From what I know, this Eight-Step Zen is not an easy skill to master. Most people don't have this ability."

"No, if they hit him with eight sticks, they can only break his legs in two, but they can't break him into eight pieces. If they hit him with eight sticks, they can only force out some of his lungs, but they can't force out his heart." Chen Sheng said with some regret, "Otherwise, we can show it to more people."

Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "This skill is not up to par! This is an evolution of Ganfei. I didn't expect that no one can do it."

"Can't someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard do that?" Chen Sheng asked with a smile.

"Our people's craftsmanship is too crude." Xu Xianchun shook his head helplessly and complained: "How can a bunch of rough skins do such delicate work? Once they start working, everything is messed up, forget it."
