Chapter 038: Huo Ke
After the matter on Wolong Mountain was instructed, Zhang Wuxian rode the queen mother's red-maned horse back to the palace. In order to prevent unnecessary incidents again, Zhang Wuxian went to Jingyang Gate this time, and the token used was the sachet of Qiugan, and now the jade pendant given by the emperor can no longer be used, and the identity of the governor of the general army cannot be known by the people in the palace.
Zhang Wuxian's luck was not bad, when he came to Wanchun Palace, the Queen Mother hadn't gotten up yet, Zhang Wuxian cautiously came to the stable, and found that there were people in the stable doing something sneaky.
Zhang Wuxian was afraid that his stealing of the horse would be exposed, so he went to a corner first to see what the guy wanted to do. I saw that the guy took a shovel and shoveled out a pile of soil from the stable, and then he transported the pile of soil to a flat cart next to him, and so on, Zhang Wuxian probably understood what this guy was doing.
When Zhang Wuxian was in history class in high school, he heard the history teacher say that the excrement of good horses was very valuable in ancient times, because this kind of thing is not only a good traditional Chinese medicine, but also a fertilizer for crops with very high nutritional content.
Therefore, the person in front of him should just make extra money with the help of eunuchs, which is understandable.
Zhang Wuxian tied the red-maned horse to the pillar first, and walked out in the direction of the guy, and when the guy saw Zhang Wuxian, he hurriedly threw away the shovel and pushed the flat cart and wanted to run.
Originally, it was impossible for this guy to outrun a person who practiced martial arts, and this guy was pushing a flat car, so he was arrested before he started.
The man panted and said, "Huh~~ I have no grievances with you, cough cough, why do you want to stop me from getting rich?"
Zhang Wuxian thought that he would kneel and beg for mercy after catching this guy, after all, he was also a eunuch in charge, but he didn't expect this guy to be different from ordinary people, Zhang Wushu also came to be interested when he saw this: "The miscellaneous family didn't stop you from getting rich, by the way, which palace are you from, you dare to come to the Queen Mother's bedroom to steal things, what do the guards at the door do?"
The man smiled disdainfully: "As for the few people at the door, I knocked them down in three or two clicks, it's just that they look like they're scaring people, it's useless to die, if there are really thieves, these people can't stop them." ”
Zhang Wuxian smiled and said: "I don't look at you, you don't look like a person who practices martial arts, tell me how you knocked them down in three or two clicks, talk about it." ”
The man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "No one seems to say that only people who practice martial arts have the ability to knock them down in three or two strokes, right? ”
Seeing that Zhang Wuxian was listening attentively, the guy paused and said: "What do you think, what is our people's first reaction to smelling the smell of food? Of course, we smell it carefully and enjoy the taste! But in the process, the food is mixed with sweat medicine, what do you say they are not throwing themselves into the net? Hahaha!"
As he spoke, the guy laughed, and Zhang Wushu couldn't help laughing after hearing it, and the guy said: "Okay, I also said what I should say, you quickly let me sell this horse manure to Jishengtang, which can be sold for a full twenty taels of silver!"
With that, the guy pushed the flat cart again and prepared to leave. At this moment, Zhang Wuxian took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver from the pocket in his chest, and unfolded it in front of the guy who was about to push the cart away.
The guy looked at the one hundred taels of silver tickets with bright eyes, Zhang Wushu moved to the left, his eyes also moved to the left, Zhang Wushu moved to the right, and his eyes also moved to the right.
Zhang Wuxian smiled: "I don't know, is this silver ticket qualified to let you give up horse manure and stay here to talk to the miscellaneous family?"
The guy nodded vigorously and said, "Of course you are qualified for such a big silver ticket, even if you buy my whole person, it is enough." The guy swallowed as he spoke.
Zhang Wushu floated around with the silver ticket and said, "Didn't you say that this horse manure can be sold for twenty taels of silver? According to what you say, you only need to work for five days to buy yourself." ”
The guy smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, there aren't so many of them." I'm exaggerating a little, but the total of this horse manure can only be sold for two taels of silver. ”
Zhang Wuxian has long known that this guy is lying, although horse manure is expensive, but he did not say that it is better than gold, if a flat cart of cow dung can be worth twenty taels of silver, then what kind of country does the imperial court govern, and what kind of business do the people do, all come to sell horse manure.
Zhang Wushu said: "The miscellaneous family doesn't beat around the bush with you, the miscellaneous family appreciates you as a person, so the miscellaneous family wants to take you over and be their own." Don't worry, the remuneration is one or two silver a day, all you have to do is to help me do things occasionally, and if you perform well, you will increase the money. ”
The man smiled, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, I will be your person in the future, if you let me go east, I will never go west, after all, I will not get along with money." ”
Zhang Wuxian kept looking around, for fear of encountering the patrolling Imperial Forest Army, and said, "What is your name, which palace is from?"
The man kept looking at the one hundred taels of silver tickets that Zhang Wushu gave him, and said, "If you go back to your father-in-law, the little one is the miscellaneous eunuch of Mingyue Palace, called Huo Ke, you can call me Xiao Kezi." ”
Zhang Wuxian nodded and said: "The miscellaneous family is a very realistic person, I will talk to you here first, if you meet someone in the future, let you betray me, and give you a high price of thousands of taels and tens of thousands of taels." Tell the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will definitely give you ten times the price. ”
Huo Ke nodded heavily and said, "Father-in-law, since you are so rich, why do you want to come to the palace to be a slave? Wouldn't it be beautiful to go home and buy a mansion to marry three or four wives?"
Zhang Wuxian smiled helplessly, and only said two words: "Hobby!"
While the two were talking, a few cold arrows suddenly shot at him coldly, Zhang Wuxian had practiced the secret method, and his agility was much higher than that of ordinary people. So under the protection of Zhang Wuxian, neither of them was harmed, but this person's behavior of casting a cold arrow on his back angered Zhang Wuxian.
After the bows and arrows were blocked, a large number of Imperial Forest troops immediately came to surround Zhang Wushu and the two, looking at their attire, the leader should be General Gao, who was in charge of the palace comfort.
General Gao pointed his sword at Zhang Wushu and said, "Which palace are you two from? You dare to poison the Imperial Forest Army, and behave secretly in Wanchun Palace, saying, what are you doing? What is the purpose of coming here?"
Zhang Wuxian really can't stand these so-called generals, they are verbose, and the questions asked are the same every time, Zhang Wuxian really can't take the token as usual this time, after all, the current situation is different from usual.
Huo Ke patted Zhang Wuxian's shoulder, blinked his eyes, and whispered in Zhang Wuxian's ear: "Look at me!" After that, Huo Ke came to Zhang Wuxian's front, bowed to the high bonus first, and said: "The slave Mingyue Palace's miscellaneous eunuch Huo Ke pays a visit to General Gao. ”
Zhang Wushu didn't stop it, just took this opportunity to see how many catties and taels Huo Ke had, if it was a good seedling, he could also consider cultivating it in Wolong Mountain later.
The man nodded and said, "Huo Ke, General Ben came to ask you, what is your intention as a miscellaneous eunuch from Mingyue Palace to come to Wanchun Palace?"
Huo Ke was not in a hurry to General Gao's questioning, and responded: "If you go back to the general, the slave was punished by the concubine Niangniang for making a mistake, and asked the slave to clean up the stables and horse manure in the palaces. If the general doesn't believe it, he can confront Niangniang now. ”
General Gao said: "Okay, even if you are here to clean up the stables, why do you want to stun the two Imperial Forest Army at the gate, do you know that it is taboo to use the Imperial Forest Army in the palace."
Huo Ke said, "Wronged, my lord, this matter has nothing to do with the minions, and you can bring the two of them forward to confront them." ”
After Huo Ke said, General Gao actually carried the two people over, splashed them with water to wake up, and said, "You two can see clearly for the time being, can you recognize this person?" General Gao pointed at Huo Ke and said.
The two men looked left and right, looked at each other, and the final result was that they had never seen this person.
Huo Ke said: "General Gao, you see, what I said about this matter has nothing to do with me. ”
Zhang Wuxian watched it very wonderfully in the back, but he didn't expect that this little eunuch would be able to turn the dignified general around, interesting!
General Gao pointed to Zhang Wushu behind Huo Ke and said to Huo Ke: "This matter has nothing to do with you, but what about him?"
Huo Ke smiled and said: "General Gao, how can you talk nonsense, this father-in-law himself is the father-in-law in charge of the Wanchun Palace, but when he came out in the morning, he went to the thatched house, and when he came out, he encountered a sky full of bows and arrows, so the two of us will curl up together." ”
General Gao said angrily: "Bold! Dare to say that this general is talking nonsense, believe it or not, this official will now detain the two of you one by one." ”
Zhang Wuxian couldn't help but laugh and pretended to be serious: "General Gao is so powerful, the miscellaneous family wants to see what kind of crime is charged in the thatched house." ”
General Gao drew his sword and said angrily: "You ......." At this time, it was a soldier next to General Gao who attached himself to General Gao's ear and said something, and General Gao put away his sword and left angrily.
Zhang Wuxian had developed his hearing after practicing the secret method, so Zhang Wuxian vaguely heard the soldier whispering in General Gao's ear as if it was Wang Zhen and himself, according to Zhang Wuxian's speculation, it should be that they knew the relationship between themselves and Wang Zhen before retreating.
At this time, Zhang Wuxian found that the Queen Mother had been watching him at the gate of the palace, and she didn't know how long. Seeing this, Zhang Wushu and Huo Ke hurriedly walked up, knelt on the ground and said, "The slave greets the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother looked at Huo Ke and said, "Sharp teeth, there are people like you by the concubine's side, what else are the mourning family afraid of? The mourning family has something to say to the little wounded son. ”
After that, Huo Ke saluted and retired, Zhang Wuxian stood up, looked at Huo Ke's back and said, "I don't know if the Queen Mother left me alone, is there anything I have to tell the slaves?"
