What, fifty taels of silver? The shopkeeper repeated in surprise: "Official, you really didn't lie to me, did you?"

Fifty taels of silver is just two days to wrap up this small tea house, which is simply a windfall from the sky! You must know that his tea house can have a profit of three times a month, even if it is very good, fifty taels of silver has actually made his profit for two years.

Ouyang Shu smiled, took out a spindle from his arms and knocked silk: You look at the shopkeeper, this is twenty taels of silver, which is counted as a deposit, and the remaining thirty taels, let's hand it over afterwards, how about it?

The shopkeeper stayed there for a moment, allowing Ouyang Shu to put the twenty taels of heavy silver in his hands, and he was speechless for a while.

What's the matter, shopkeeper, aren't you afraid that we'll move all these things from your store?

The shopkeeper came back to his senses and said with a smile: "How can it be? Just rely on the twenty taels of silver from you, the official, you can take away everything in this room that you like, and the little old man has nothing to say. I'm afraid that you have no interest in these broken tables and chairs!

Ouyang Shu said: Since that's the case, then what else do you have to hesitate about?

The shopkeeper simply patted his thigh and said, "Well, since the official has such wealth, he must not be a person who does anything shady, and my small shop will be handed over to the official to take care of in the next two days." Xiao Lao'er happened to have not been home for a few days, and now that he has this thing, he can rest at home for a while.

Ouyang Shu saw that he took out another thirty taels of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Since the shopkeeper said so, take the remaining thirty taels of silver as well." I can stay in my hometown for a few more days and come back!

The shopkeeper's previous sentence was originally a hint that Ouyang Shu should pay the rest of the silver, but at this time, seeing Ouyang Shu so happy, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "What are you doing, official?" Hurriedly stuffed two ingots of silver into his arms.

At this time, Fan Hu's second daughter happened to walk in, and Fan Xiaolu asked: How is it?

Ouyang Shu smiled and nodded. Fan Xiaolu's face immediately bloomed with joy. For her, in fact, there is nothing remarkable about this tea house, she just thinks it is fun.

The night is already deep, although it is still very lively outside the imperial city, the restaurants and Chu Pavilions are ushered in, and the laughter and laughter are just in time. If the day is the time to work and make money, then the night is the time to entertain and sell money. And with so many great places to visit in Tokyo, it's no surprise that people don't waste such a good time sleeping with their heads covered.

The palace is quiet, but there are still some entertainment things going on here, but everyone is more low-key, and what they say and do is more secretive. Isn't the night used to cover up these things?

Take, for example, the man in front of him, who walked under the moonlit eaves all the time, stopping from time to time and looking around vigilantly until he was sure that no one was following him, and then he continued to tremble and walk forward. Finally, he came to a small room, reached out and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door creaked open, and a very formidable man with a few sparse beards on his chin poked his head out and asked softly, "No one is following you, right?"

The previous man whispered in that soft voice: No, you also underestimate my old Hao. I deliberately walked around to get here, and I was careful along the way!

The man in the door nodded and said, "Come in!" Without waiting for the outsider to react, he pulled him in and closed the door again.

These two people, if someone is next to them at this time, they can be recognized at a glance, they are the two most favored chamberlains Tong Guan and Hao Sui in front of the current emperor Zhao Xu.

Called me over in the middle of the night, what's the matter? Hao Sui asked a little inexplicably.

Tong Guan snorted lightly: At this time, you actually seem to be a nobody, I sometimes wonder, how can a person like you stand in this palace?

Hao Sui has always been very respectful to Tong Guan, seeing that he said solemnly, his tone was even a little stern, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: What's wrong?

Tong Guan was obviously very dissatisfied with Hao Sui's attitude: Let me ask you, how is the official family's body now?

Speaking of Zhao Xu's body, Hao Sui's face showed a trace of sadness: I think, it should be difficult to survive this year! If you find some famous doctors, you may be able to support a few more days, but he is like this

After all, Zhao Xu grew up watching him since he was a child, and in addition to the loyalty to his master, he still has another kind of closeness in his heart. He entered the palace since he was a child, and he was destined to have no heirs, so he regarded Zhao Xu as his junior in his heart. It's just that he would never dare to export such an idea.

Moreover, to be honest, Zhao Xu is really good to old people like them, and he has taken care of Juelu as much as possible. If he goes like this, it will be really difficult to find a master like him who is kind and righteous.

Looking for a famous doctor? It's impossible! We all know that new science detective Li Muwu, and his medical skills are admired even by a figure like Han Duocai, so what can we do? The official family has already seen him several times, and he doesn't even have the idea of letting him see it, what does this mean? It means that he has completely given up!

Hao Sui nodded: "Yes, but what does this have to do with us? As internal officials, we have nothing to do with those power struggles in the imperial court. Even if there is a change of master, let's continue to serve carefully.

Tong Guan glared at Hao Sui dissatisfiedly: What a fool! Do you think that if the official family goes, the little prince will definitely be able to ascend the throne?

Hao Sui was speechless for a moment, he didn't think about any other possibilities other than the death of his father and his son.

Tong Guan continued: The body bones of the little prince, do you know, the innate is much worse than that of today's official family. Although he now has a worry-free name, it remains to be discussed whether he can speak and act like an ordinary person when he grows up! Moreover, he is only a few months old, so how can he inherit the throne? Today's empress dowager is not like the Empress Xuanren Shenglie in the past, a female generation who listens to the government, and can still be regarded as a female Zhongyao Shun by the ministers. Today's queen mother is short-sighted, her ambition has never been high, she only wants to keep her position in the harem, and she neither understands nor is interested in court politics. How can such a person protect the young lord Fu and raise and educate today's officials into a real human monarch like Empress Xuanren Shenglie?

Hao Sui was suddenly confused: Then you mean that it is most likely difficult for the little prince to inherit the unification?

Tong Guan sneered: This is also the reason why His Majesty has always been reluctant to leak out of his condition and would rather not seek medical treatment. He is clearing the way for the little prince's ascension.

Hao Sui suddenly nodded at this time: Then we

Tong Guan shook his head: The official family's time is too tight, and such a thing will not succeed. He was still young and could not see the crux of the matter. He always thought that any minister who was loyal to him could be loyal to his son. He didn't think at all that his son's surname was Zhao, and his brothers didn't have the surname Zhao? The same surname Zhao, his son couldn't give those ministers very practical benefits, but his brothers could. If you were one of those ministers, who would you choose?

Hao Sui nodded and said: What you said is very reasonable. However, even if those kings ascend the throne, what does it matter to us? After they enter the palace, don't they still have someone to serve them, someone to help them do what we are doing now?

Tong Guan glanced at Hao Sui with some ironclad eyes, and said angrily: Your short-sightedness is simply point-inspiring! You don't want to think about it, those kings are now adults, they all have their own mansions outside, and there are people who are used to it, we have no grievances with them, why do you continue to reuse us? Even at the beginning of the year, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the palace and appease those below, the new master continued to give us important positions, but after a long time, once the people he was used to establishing his prestige in the palace, the new master would definitely not hesitate to get us down!
