Chapter 66: Compassion

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the Jingshi can't go back, and the errand is not finished, the old eunuch is desperate, and it is estimated that he came to the bank of the river to find death.

It was the guy at the inn who was arguing with Yan Ding beside Li Meng just now, and he thought to himself that before the old eunuch jumped into the river, he would see if he could get some money for the store and the food first.

The person in front of him is a eunuch, that is, a eunuch (in fact, a eunuch is the name of those eunuchs with a high status), these eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty did not leave a good impression in history, and as Li Meng, who came from modern times, when he heard people talk about eunuchs, he always felt that he had a connection with Jinyiwei, Dongchang and other secret agencies, and the eunuchs gave the impression that they were all perverted and gloomy, and it was better to keep a distance from such people.

The old eunuch looked at Li Meng taking a step back, shook his head and didn't pay attention to it, turned around and knelt on the river bank again, but this time he didn't cry, Li Meng looked at the old eunuch in front of him, and thought that it was better to provoke less trouble, so he walked silently towards the way he came, and the guards also followed.

I don't know why, Li Meng, who walked back, found that he always felt that the old eunuch's old face he had just seen coincided with his parents in modern times, which was also one of Li Meng's biggest heart problems, he was struggling alone in time and space hundreds of years ago, and his parents didn't know what they would be sad like after a few hundred years, could the old man endure such a big blow?

Li Meng, who was striding forward, suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, and almost collided with several salters who were following closely behind, Li Meng shook his hand a little irritably, and said:

"Don't ask too much, keep up."

The guards were all a little confused, but what they were taught was to obey the orders of their superiors, and Li Meng's orders were everything, so they followed immediately.

I couldn't hear the cry of the old eunuch, Li Meng's footsteps accelerated a little faster, he was in a hurry here, and he suddenly heard a pop over there, and the heavy object fell into the water, Li Meng suddenly became anxious, and shouted:

"Hurry up, get someone to me!!"

When the salters heard the order, they all ran away, many of these salters were children who grew up by the sea, the water was good, although the weather was cold, but they still resisted, this was also the time to come back, the old eunuch just jumped down, a few speeds were already rushing to the river, and they also plopped and jumped down.

The water flow of the canal was gentle, and the people almost jumped down with their front and back feet, and the old eunuch was soon fished up, the weather was cold, soaking wet, and it was easy to go wrong outside, and the gang carried the old eunuch to run towards the place where there were lights, just now since the guys can find this side to ask for money, presumably the inn is not too far from here.

The old eunuch was quite sober-minded, and was taken back to the inn where he lived, and everyone treated him with all hands and feet, and the person quickly recovered, but he just closed his breath for a while because of the water cold suffocation, and returned to the warm environment, and the recovery was also fast.

Originally, everyone was worried that after the old eunuch woke up, he was looking for death and life, but fortunately, the eunuch did not make that kind of woman's attitude, and after drinking the ginger soup, he just sighed, and then fell asleep.

Li Meng left a few guards and led the others back to the residence, where the shopkeeper Meng of Wenru Commercial Bank was going to set up a wine tonight to thank him.

The shopkeeper of a commercial house, the income is also rich, but earning 20 years may not have earned 5,000 taels of silver, this time a pretentious, but there is so much silver money into the account, this Meng shopkeeper is already ready to go home to retire and enjoy the blessings, of course, he also understands, the so-called Shaanxi Laoqing salt matter after all has all kinds of taboos, presumably all the merchants in Jining City and Li Meng are hoping that he will not appear in Jining City.

Tomorrow, the shopkeeper of Meng will meet Zou Cheng's hometown, and when he receives Li Meng's cash tonight, the old man is naturally very excited, so he must invite Li Meng to a banquet in the evening.

Li Meng left the day after tomorrow, and he had nothing to do, so he just happened to accept this banquet. The banquet was a private banquet, and the shopkeeper Meng ordered a table of exquisite and delicious dishes in a nearby restaurant, and drank with Li Meng. Li Meng is from modern times, and the shopkeeper Meng has been in business for many years and has seen a lot of knowledge, although there are only two people, they can still talk very happily.

Just taking this opportunity, Li Meng took out what he had just encountered and asked, how could the eunuchs of the Beijing division get into such a miserable situation, the Ming Dynasty, aren't these eunuchs the most arrogant type of people?

"If he is ridden by a certain eunuch, then this eunuch can be publicized, if he is ordinary and classless, he is the kind of person who advocates Youlehu outside, even the people look down on him. Those literati in the government are jealous of the so-called eunuchs, and some of them are unlucky, and this real eunuch will not get any better. ”

Shopkeeper Meng really knew the trick, Li Meng laughed, and simply said today's things, Shopkeeper Meng listened attentively, and when he heard that Li Meng rescued people and left people to protect them, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Doing this business with Li Meng, the shopkeeper Meng was introduced by an acquaintance of the same sect, so he knows Li Meng very well, and the generous silver remuneration is indeed coveted, but Li Meng's deeds back then, he also knew a thing or two, and the shopkeeper Meng was always vaguely worried, and after the matter was completed, he was killed and killed.

At this time, seeing that Li Meng had this benevolent and righteous mind, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for himself, the situation of the old eunuch was common, and he said:

"The person that Lord Li met today, nine times out of ten, he was extremely unhappy in the palace, desperately trying to get an errand out of the palace, and the prison guards and the like couldn't get it, that is, he came out to do a purchase, buy it once, or have some spare money to please Shangguan, or do it wonderfully, let the above appreciate, it is always a means to advance, but this errand of buying green salt is clearly a chore, thrown out as a scapegoat, my lord, you think, if you didn't sell those 'green salt' a few days ago, this eunuch will look for it."

Hearing that the shopkeeper Meng kept saying "eunuch", obviously he didn't have a good impression of the eunuch, Li Meng picked up the wine glass and touched it with the other party, and said to himself in a low voice:

"But in any case, he is also a poor old man who has no support."

"Master Li, what did you say?"

"It's okay, I'm just talking to myself, come, dry this wine."
