(Ask for collection and recommendation)

When they first entered the gate of Jinyiwei, the three of them still felt that there was a glimmer of hope, and when they entered the hut of Nan Si Guifang, they were completely disappointed.

"Is this the place where Nanji hides the ashes? Look at the soil, it's almost a foot thick. Fan Dajian stood at the door, not daring to step inside.

Yuan Mao glanced at it, "Among the twelve rooms of the Nansi, the Gui room has been vacant for many years, and it can be sent to you, which can be regarded as the reuse of the new Zhenfu for you, what are our specific responsibilities?" ”

Lai Wangxi didn't care about being dirty, he only cared about one thing, "That, Master Hu, the three of us are not formal Jinyi Guards, right?" ”

"I just joined the South Division, and I can't transfer you in immediately, so I need to wait a little longer." Hu Guiyang took out four square blue cloth pads and divided them among the three people, keeping one for himself.

"yes, I'm too impatient." Lai Wangxi took the cloth and didn't understand what it was for.

Hu Guiyang wrapped the cloth around his face, covered his nose, and said in a sullen voice: "Come on, the broom is over there, one for each person, clean the house first." ”

Lai Wangxi was very obedient and immediately went to get the broom, Fan Dajian frowned, felt that he had lost his identity as a real person, and hesitated for a while before masking to take the broom, Yuan Mao was very surprised, although he obeyed the order, he wanted to ask: "Doesn't Nansi have miscellaneous servants?" Why should we do it? ”

"I'll give the handymen ten days off." Hu Guiyang said vaguely.

Yuan Mao felt that this was a good thing, Hu Guiyang could let the miscellaneous servants rest, indicating that he had a little power in his hands, and he should be very appreciated by Xinzhen, and the future of the three of them was guaranteed.

The four of them arrived at Jinyiwei early in the morning, and worked hard for an hour to clean up the whole house, during which a small official came over and praised: "It's very clean, and I'll clean up the other rooms later, especially the public hall, which adults may need in the afternoon." ”

Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian glared at this official angrily, but Hu Guiyang smiled and agreed, completely lacking his usual lazy appearance.

The house was cleaned, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, Hu Guiyang sat behind the table, took off the cloth, and said with a smile: "Well, it's a bit of a look, this will be our territory in the future." ”

Of course, it is a good thing to have a "territory" in Jinyiwei, but Yuan Mao is still skeptical, and asks: "What are our specific responsibilities?" ”

"That's what we're doing." Hu Guiyang finally gave an answer.

None of the three of them understood, looked at each other, and then looked at the broom in his hand, Yuan Mao finally came to his senses, threw away the broom, tore off the cloth, and said angrily: "Clean the house? We defected to you just to sweep the floor in Nansi? Although Yuan is not a nobleman, he will never do this cheap service! ”

Yuan Mao thinks very highly of himself, and when others say a word of entourage, he will hold a grudge for a long time, let alone act as a miscellaneous servant.

Fan Dajian also threw away the broom, "What? Just sweeping? I'd better go out of town and be the owner, at least someone else will sweep the floor for me there. ”

Only Lai Wangxi was still holding the broom and said with a smile: "Master Hu is joking again, right?" I'm used to holding a bird with both hands, and I'm really not used to holding a broom. ”

Hu Guiyang had a smile on his face, "I'm not kidding, the new Liang Zhenfu did let me take charge of the cleaning in the house, and also assigned me five miscellaneous servants, but it's too old, I'll let them rest for a few days and ask you to come over for a while." ”

Even Lai Wangxi threw away the broom, Fan Dajian turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered that this was Jinyiwei, no one led him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to go out, so he had to turn his back to Hu Guiyang, hold on to the door frame, and pant angrily.

Yuan Mao had a cold face and asked patiently: "This is not like the Hu Guiyang I know, there must be a reason why you accept this responsibility, right?" ”

Hu Guiyang nodded, "There is a big credit here, if it is done, you can all become Jinyiwei." ”

Fan Dajian turned around curiously, "Please, can you say good things first in the future?" The three of us came to you when we were desperate, and you have to force us all away to be happy? In that case, if you say something, I, I'll leave immediately. ”

Fan Dajian looked at the other two, not sure that they would be as decisive as himself.

Lai Wangxi hung his head and was silent, but Yuan Mao felt a little bit of the same hatred, "What is your so-called credit?" Just clean up Nanji and get a word of praise from the boss? ”

"Of course not, the credit I mentioned only annoys my boss." Hu Guiyang waved his hand at Fan Dajian, "Okay, I'll try to be as concise as possible. But I still have to ask one thing first, Yuan Mao, you are familiar with the situation of Jinyiwei, who is the person of Nansi who took office to suppress Zhu Heng? ”

Yuan Mao did know, and hesitated for a while before answering, "It should be the person from the celebrant eunuch Huang Ci." ”

Hu Guiyang turned to Lai Wangxi, "You are familiar with the situation in the palace, Huang Ci should be very powerful, right?" ”

Lai Wangxi's eyes widened, "The eunuch has always been the head of the eunuchs in the palace, and it can be said that he is the most powerful, under one person, above ten thousand!" ”

Hu Guiyang snorted, "Huang Ci is finished." ”

"Huh? This, this is impossible, Eunuch Huang is deeply favored by His Majesty...... What news did Master Hu hear? Lai Wangxi was a little frightened, but also a little excited.

"Zhu Heng has been in charge of the Nansi for more than 20 years, and he has not made a particularly big mistake, and he was suddenly withdrawn, there can only be one reason, that is, his backer has fallen. Plus what's happening in the palace...... In short, Huang Ci is definitely finished, but the news has not yet been announced. Hu Guiyang said with certainty.

What happened in the palace that night, the other three didn't know, so they couldn't confirm or deny it, but they just felt that Hu Guiyang was really bold and dared to discuss things in the palace in Jinyiwei.

Lai Wangxi was especially scared, suddenly rushed to the door, looked outside a few times, closed the door carefully, and said in a low voice: "You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." ”

Hu Guiyang smiled, "The new Zhenfu's name is Liang Xiu, and he is a sick and crooked young man, who of you knows his origin?" ”

The three people on the other side all shook their heads, no one had heard of this Liang Xiu.

"Then let's speculate in the simplest way: Nansi is responsible for searching for immortals, and the person in charge of Zhenfu will definitely not be an official sent by the imperial court, right?"

Yuan Mao immediately said: "That's right, even Ti Shuai can't easily move this position, Nansi Zhenfu has always been directly appointed by the palace to prevent secrets from leaking." ”

"Yun Dan used to have a close relationship with Nansi, and as soon as he had an accident, Nansi Zhenfu was replaced, so I said that the big backer above had fallen. Lai, tell me, who is Yun Dan's backer in the palace? ”

Lai Wangxi was stupid when he heard it, in the Imperial Horse Prison, no one had ever dared to openly discuss the affairs of the palace, "Yun Dan...... It seems that he is really from Huang Ci's gang, but he switched to Wang Dugong a few years ago...... Oh......"

Lai Wangxi usually doesn't dare to think about it, but now when he thinks about it, he understands that Yun Dan's defection to Wang Zhi is fake, and the master behind it is still the celebrant eunuch Huang Ci.

The guess had a context, and Fan Dajian was also excited, "No need to ask, the new Liang Zhenfu must also be a cronie of a certain eunuch in the palace, is it Wang Changgong?" ”

Wang Zhi was in charge of both the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the West Factory, so one of the two was called "Du Gong" and the other was called "Factory Gong", which could not be changed.

"If it was Wang Zhi's person, he should have forced me to investigate the case, instead of being responsible for sweeping the floor. There are many powerful eunuchs in the palace, Huang Ci falls, and there must be others who can fight against Wang Zhi. ”

All three of them looked at Lai Wangxi, and he was the only one who knew this kind of thing best.

Lai Wangxi smiled bitterly and excused himself: "When I was in the Imperial Horse Prison, I never talked about the affairs of the palace. ”

Fan Dajian said: "Hey, don't talk about it publicly, you definitely talk about it in private, I don't believe you don't even know who is in power in the palace." ”

Lai Wangxi couldn't shirk it, so he had to whisper: "It's just that I heard that several eunuchs around Your Majesty are not small, and one of them is surnamed Liang ......."

"That's him." Fan Dajian shouted.

Lai Wangxi's face turned white with fright, "My lord, be quiet, this is Jinyiwei, there are a lot of ears and eyes in the palace......"

"Well, tell me who it is." Fan Dajian lowered his voice slightly.

Lai Wangxi didn't dare to squeak, looking around.

Yuan Mao said for him: "It must be Liang Fang, the inner servant." ”

Lai Wangxi nodded in acknowledgement.

Yuan Mao frowned slightly, "Liang Fang, I know, he has a younger brother who is Jinyi Wei Zhenfu. ”

"It's this Liang Xiu!" Fan Dajian was startled.

Yuan Mao shook his head, "No, that younger brother should be called Liang De, and the position of pacification is a fictitious title, but no matter what, Liang Xiu may be another younger brother." ”

"That's it, look, we're not far from meritorious service." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

The other three were not so optimistic, Yuan Mao said: "This has nothing to do with meritorious service, right?" ”

"It has a lot to do with it." Hu Guiyang said with a straight face, "Wang Zhi wants me to investigate the case, and Liang Xiu obviously doesn't want me to investigate the case, what does it mean?" ”

No one dared to answer, Hu Guiyang said on his own, "It shows that Liang Fang and Wang Zhi have a gap, so let's make a big fuss in Nansi, just to make meritorious contributions on Wang Zhi's side, right?" ”

There was a little truth in the words, but the three people on the other side couldn't agree, or Yuan Mao spoke first, "First of all, the house is responsible for cleaning the house, what can we do?" Refuse to sweep the floor? Second, do we have to offend one side in order to make meritorious contributions in front of the other? ”

"Let's answer your second question first, that's right, we must offend one party, because whether we want to or not, in the eyes of outsiders, we are already Wang Zhiren, and we have no way to defend ourselves, we can only go head-on, and maybe there is still a chance."

Lai Wangxi smiled bitterly again, "I can't ask for someone who can be a governor, why bother...... Why go around in such a big circle? ”

Only Fan Dajian expressed his support, "Master Hu is right, people have already decided that we are the people of the factory, the weaker we behave, the more serious the bullying will be in the future, we have to make a big fuss and tear our faces in order to gain a foothold in Nansi." But—Lord Hu, are you sure the factory guild will help you? ”

"He was the one who got me into Nansi, if he didn't help me, wouldn't he be looked down upon by other eunuchs?"

The three of them nodded thoughtfully, and Yuan Mao asked again: "Then what is the meritorious service you are talking about?" ”

Hu Guiyang didn't joke this time, "Nansi hides countless secrets, even Ti Shuai can't see it, Wang Zhi can't see it, since Liang Zhenfu asked me to be responsible for sweeping the floor, then I will be responsible for the end, and clean up the library first." ”

The three of them were shocked, and finally understood that following this "adult", there was no down-to-earth road at all, and every step had to take risks, and it was a danger that others would not dare to think of.
