038 Li Mansion secretly said
Gao Fei learned about the thirteenth and fourteenth gathering of people to gamble, so he used this as a threat, and the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers were afraid that the big butler of the Li Mansion would know, so they promised Gao Fei that as long as they didn't tell the big butler, they could do anything.
So, Gao Fei asked Liu Xing'er to find a pen and paper, but Liu Xing'er only found pen and ink, but no paper, Gao Fei had to cut off a piece of silk as paper, and wrote a letter on this piece of silk. In addition, Gao Fei also specially made an envelope, wrote on it the five big characters "Mao County Lieutenant personally opened", and stuffed the letter into the envelope.
Fortunately, Gao Fei practiced calligraphy in modern times and could write calligraphy, which came in handy in ancient times.
It's just that he doesn't know that the Lishu font is popular in this era, and what he practices is regular script, so he uses regular script to write this letter.
Liu Xing'er, Thirteen, Fourteen and others were illiterate, and even if they saw Gao Fei writing a letter, they didn't know what was written on the letter.
After that, Goofy asked Thirteen to sneak out of the Li Mansion with him. At first, Thirteen was not very reluctant, but he couldn't bear Goofy's coercion, so he had to agree.
Although the Li Mansion is the home of the richest man, it is not heavily guarded, and the thirteenth is very familiar with the terrain and situation in the house, and has avoided the sight of many caretakers along the way, and finally came to a rockery in the backyard of the Li Mansion, the rockery is next to the outer wall of the backyard, and there is a small cave under the rockery, where the cave and the outer wall are connected, a secret passage has been dug up, through which you can directly lead to a small forest outside the Li Mansion. Every time Thirteen sneaked out of the Li Mansion, it was from this cave that he went out, except for him and his younger brother Fourteen, none of the other people in the Li Mansion knew about the existence of the secret passage, even Li Cheng, Bai Yuan, and the great housekeeper Li Yong, they all knew nothing about this secret passage.
Gao Fei followed Thirteen all the way, familiar with all the terrain he had walked through, in addition, he was afraid that he would remember it wrong, and along the way, he also took advantage of Thirteen's inattention to make a mark that only he could understand, so as to facilitate the entry and exit of the Li Mansion in the future.
Regarding the existence of this secret passage, the thirteenth and fourteenth generally do not mention it to outsiders, and although many of the servants of the Li Mansion know that the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers have a way to enter and exit the Li Mansion at will, they do not know what the entry and exit method is. Because Thirteen had been an errand boy by the side of the chief butler before, he was still a hot figure, so everyone guessed that the big butler secretly took care of Thirteen.
Liu Xing'er didn't know that Thirteen and Fourteen had the ability to enter and leave the Li Mansion at will, but some time ago, the Thirteen and Fourteen brothers won the gambling money, and deliberately showed off to Liu Xing'er when they were drunk, so Liu Xing'er learned this information.
Thanks to Liu Xing'er learning about this situation, Gao Fei was able to follow Thirteen in and out of the Li Mansion.
But as for why this secret passage exists, Goofy is full of curiosity. Under his questioning, Thirteen told the truth. It turned out that this rockery was built by the thirteenth, and he was still a celebrity under the big housekeeper at that time, and the big housekeeper was busy with affairs, so he handed over the construction of the rockery to him to govern. Because the Li Mansion was very strict with the slaves and did not allow them to go out at will, he was thirteen young and was more interested in the outside world of flowers, so he took advantage of his position, and when the construction of the rockery was about to be completed, he called his younger brother Fourteen, and together they dug a secret passage at night to lead to the woods outside.
In order to attract people's eyes, Thirteen also deliberately hid the secret passage, so that the gods were unaware.
In the past few years, the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers have taken advantage of the convenience of the secret passage to carry out paid purchasing for the slaves in the house, even if they were exiled to other courtyards, this business has not stopped, and it has become more convenient to stay away from the constraints of the big housekeeper.
Most of the servants in the mansion knew about this situation, but no one had ever reported the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers, the reason was that they needed the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers' purchasing agents, and as for the big housekeeper in a high position, and the rest of the people in the Li Mansion who needed to be served by slaves, they did not know about this situation.
Gao Fei followed Thirteen out of Li's Mansion, and asked Thirteen to take him to the central street where the county government was located, and then asked Thirteen to wait for him at the corner of the central street, Gao Fei went to the county government with the letter in person, ready to hand over the letter to the officer, but suddenly a young man a few years older than him appeared, snatched the letter, and after seeing the words written on the envelope by the county lieutenant Mao himself, he grabbed his hand and asked him who he was and why he sent a letter to the county lieutenant.
Gao Fei was in a hurry, so he said that he didn't know who sent it, but he only knew that someone gave him a lot of money and asked him to take this letter to the county government and hand it over to the county lieutenant Mao.
The boy didn't ask any more questions, and flew away.
After Gao Fei left the county office, he first found Thirteen, and then the two of them bought some cooked food and a jar of wine on the street, and then returned to the Li Mansion.
When night fell, the sky and the earth were dark, and Gao Fei, under the leadership of the slave thirteen, returned to the courtyard of the Li Mansion without danger along the way.
As soon as Gao Fei and Thirteen came back, Liu Xing'er hurriedly greeted her, and Liu Xing'er said with concern: "Childe, you are finally back, worried about the death of the slave." ”
"With me leading the childe, what are you worried about? I've walked this path more than 100 times, and I've never had a problem. The Servant Thirteen said proudly.
Gao Fei smiled: "This time it's really thanks to Thirteen, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to go out." ”
He looked around, but didn't see Fourteen, and asked, "What about Fourteen?" ”
Liu Xing'er said: "Someone came to him just now, and he followed that person out." ”
"How long?" Goofy asked.
"There's not much time, half an hour!" Liu Xinger replied.
Goofy frowned, turned his face to look at Thirteen, and asked, "No one will know that we're out, right?" ”
Thirteen shook his head like a rattle, and said with great certainty: "Don't worry, no one will know, I guarantee with my life." My younger brother is popular and social, and he has been losing money lately, so he is probably in a bad mood and went to drink with friends. ”
Gao Fei didn't see Fourteen, he was always a little worried, if Fourteen drank again, something would happen, and he would tell him about going out, and after being denounced, it would be terrible. So, Gao Fei said to Thirteen: "You go and get your brother back quickly, let's buy our own wine and drink it at home." Also, you tell him that if you go to gamble tomorrow, take me with you, and I can help you win! ”
After Thirteen heard the last sentence, Dengshi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”
Gao Fei sneered and said, "Go find him and come back, you will know when you gamble tomorrow!" ”
Thirteen was happy, and ran out as if flying, and just walked to the gate of the courtyard, stopped again, and asked Liu Xing'er: "What does the person who came to him look like?" ”
Liu Xing'er roughly described the appearance of the person who came, and Thirteen immediately knew who it was, so he rushed out of the courtyard.
Gao Fei handed some cooked food to Liu Xing'er and instructed: "Cut these meats into pieces, put them on a plate, and when the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers come back, we will eat them together!" ”
"Yes, Childe!"
