Chapter 303: The Grand Steward Visits
After Li Haoyang took the pill given by Qingqing, he felt that his body was recovering quickly, and he was now able to get out of bed and walk back and forth a few steps, although he would feel dizzy, but it was much better than lying half-dead before.
He didn't know how long he had been stuffed in this underground cave, but he was anxious about the Li Jiajun scattered everywhere, they must be having a very difficult time now, he could only do nothing in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Jiaojiao and Shangguan Yu respectively took Qingqing, Shi Jin, Shouzheng, and the camel took ink and wash like a gust of wind from the small yard to the backyard of Lefang, Shi Jin was ready to let Shouzheng and Li Haoyang meet, and before he took two steps, he saw Hua Niang rushing over with someone, and his eyes lit up in surprise when he saw Shi Jin.
"My lord, I just sent someone to the mansion to invite you over, and a guest in the palace wants to see you by name." Hua Niang stood beside Shi Jin and reported in a low voice, but her eyes glanced at Shangguan Yu, Shouzheng and Jiaojiao, as well as Qingqing, who was a female companion and a man, from time to time.
Shi Jin nodded and said that he knew, he didn't have any plans to go over immediately, he wanted to send away Hua Niang and those entourages first, but Hua Niang had been seeing clearly that Qing and Shouzheng did not go.
"Scholar, you take me, an old neighbor, to the back kitchen to eat something first, and I'll come back to you later." Shi Jin had to find an excuse to let Qingqing and Shouzheng leave first, Qingqing nodded knowingly and pulled Shouzheng away, Shangguan Yu walked to the small building where he lived with a smile under the signal of Qingqing's eyes.
Only then did the flower girl withdraw her eyes, and inadvertently saw the camel with closed eyes nestled by the flowers and grass, and screamed in fright: "Mom, what is this?" The camel opened its eyes unhappily and glanced at Hua Niang, almost the whites of her eyes were facing Hua Niang, and Hua Niang slowly withdrew from the backyard with her chest covered.
"Cut!" The camel sprayed it with its nose angrily and continued to sleep with its eyes closed, and the ink did not know where to fly at this time.
In order to save time, Shi Jin walked quickly to the room where the guests were waiting for him, only to see that the door of the room was closed, and there were four attendants in brocade robes standing at the door, they stood with their hands down, without the majestic feeling of the guard, nor the vulgar feeling of the servant, Shi Jin did not pay too much attention to them and knocked directly into the room.
In the middle of the room, at the round table, sat a plump middle-aged man, with smooth and fair skin, a full forehead, and a high nose. When Shi Jin saw him, he couldn't help but take a few shocked steps to step closer: "Manager Zhu? What kind of wind has brought you to my little temple? ”
It turned out that this was the chief manager of the palace, Zhu Duoshi, originally he was a descendant of a local rich man, his home was tragically ransacked by bandits when he was young, he was made a eunuch by bandits at a young age and did not kill him, in order to avenge him after hardships into the palace and finally became the chief manager, and now he has been trying to find a way to find the bandits who killed his whole family, and he also hates the bandits.
However, don't get him wrong, he will be a good person, good people generally don't live long and can't climb to such a high position.
"Lord Shi, your treasure land is a paradise on earth, but it's a pity that I, a half-incomplete person, can't enjoy it. I have come today to take a step forward in the words of the Holy Lord, and I would like to ask you to take a step to speak. Zhu Duoshi whispered to Shi Jin in a thin voice, although there was no arrogance on his face, there was no respect, he looked down on Shi Jin from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean by this? If you don't enter the palace, and you don't come to me, where will it go? Shi Jin didn't care about the attitude of a eunuch, he asked curiously, speculating about the emperor's intentions in his heart, did he know that the king of Qi was looking for Shi Jin to rebel? Impossible, even if the spies knew that what had just happened would take time to enter the palace, it couldn't be so fast.
