Chapter 335

Zhang Zhong is in his thirties, without the round and short figure carved out of a mold by other eunuchs in the palace, his figure is thin and capable, and his face is like a disease, forever sallow and thin.

He was originally a small eunuch under the eunuch Xu Zhi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and after Xu Zhi fell with Wang Yue Fan Heng, Gu Dayong succeeded him as the eunuch of the head of the Imperial Horse Eunuch. Zhang Zhong originally thought that he was the life of doing some miscellaneous errands all his life, but fate seemed to suddenly favor him, one night, he was suddenly led to a public house, he was stunned and stared at him I don't know why, the person next to him introduced the name of the middle-aged fat eunuch sitting on the top, and almost didn't scare him out of pee.

That person is Liu Jin, the famous and fearful Liu Jin of the eunuchs in the palace, who doesn't know, Liu Jin is now the master of the inner court, and the lives of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are in his hands, offending the emperor There is still a glimmer of life, but offending Liu Jin is a dead end, Zhang Zhong never expected that there would be a day when he was called by Liu Jin to face to face.

In the trembling rope, Zhang Zhong understood Liu Jin's intention to call him here, and after understanding, Zhang Zhong was even more afraid than before, Liu Jin's purpose for coming by himself was not to punish or reward, but to give him an errand, which was to ask him to secretly be his eyes and ears, and secretly inform Gu Dayong of his every move in the Imperial Horse Prison.

Zhang Zhong was confused, didn't Gu Dayong's father-in-law have a close relationship with Liu Jin? Why do you want to be the eyes and ears of Gu Gonggong? Then there is a doubt as to why I am in the Imperial Horse Prison, there are dozens of eunuchs in the Imperial Horse Prison, and I am just a miscellaneous eunuch, and I am not the most clever person, why did Liu Jin choose me?

Liu Jin naturally won't give him much explanation, in fact, the reason for choosing Zhang Zhong is very simple, after Gu Dayong entered the Imperial Horse Prison, he naturally mobilized a large number of his cronies to enter it, and low-level miscellaneous eunuchs like Zhang Zhong were able to survive, Liu Jin wanted to monitor Gu Dayong and control the movements of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so naturally he couldn't ask Gu Dayong's henchmen, and after observation, he chose Liu Zhong.

Liu Zhong had no choice, he could only accept the mission, I have to say, it turns out that people have potential, Liu Zhong is doing miscellaneous errands, but he is also talented in being a traitor, and he will soon do it handy, Gu Dayong and his henchmen's every move was reported to Liu Jin by him, Liu Jin was also able to know Gu Dayong's several overstepping actions, and publicly reprimanded them in front of the Eight Tigers, which had the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Liu Jin's move is to tell these little brothers that you all have to listen to me, and I can see anyone who has a ghost idea or any action in their hearts. After this incident, Gu Dayong also vaguely knew Liu Zhong's identity, for the purpose of protection and reward, Liu Jin transferred Liu Zhong to the leopard room on duty, Liu Zhong did his job effectively, not only deeply appreciated by Liu Jin, but also won the favor of Zhengde, and finally mixed the position of the deputy head of the leopard room. Although this is not an inherent position of the 24th prison, for Liu Zhong, this position is not inferior to the position of many internal prison leaders.

It doesn't take too long to change a person, two years ago, Liu Zhong was still a miscellaneous eunuch in the imperial horse prison, and today, two years later, he has become accustomed to calling and hugging, accustomed to commanding, and in his heart. I think of myself as the number one person.

"Hey, Deputy Chief Liu, why did you come here in person? Please sit down and warm up with a cup of hot tea. Zhang Yong greeted him with a smile on his face and greeted him.

Liu Zhong was very useful in his heart, this Zhang Yong used to be the one he looked up to, and now he looked at him with a smile on his face in front of him, and a sense of pride arose.

"There's no way, Grandpa Zhang, how dare you not do your best in official business? The emperor has every opportunity, and comes to the leopard room every day to rest and change his brain, how can we be slaves and maids not make the leopard room more comfortable and warmer, and let the emperor be uncomfortable from the cold? Liu Zhong smiled and stepped forward to give his hand.

Zhang Yong's face welled up with envy, Zhang Zhong wanted this effect, he could see the emperor every day, but you Zhang Yong could only nest here and envy.

"Come on, don't you hurry up and help check the list of Liu Gonggong's leopard house, and someone will help you get out of the warehouse and get into the car, be careful, don't be loose halfway, then I'm going to pick your skin." Zhang Yong said loudly.

Several eunuchs in the imperial prison hurriedly agreed to go to Zhang Luo, Zhang Yong turned his head, stretched out his hand and said: "Let the monkey cubs be busy, Gonggong Liu sits down and drinks some hot tea. ”

Liu Zhong sat down with a big stab and said with a smile: "There's no way, things always have to be done." After that, he took a sip of Zhang Yong's teacup, opened his eyes and said, "Hmm...... Good tea, this winter, how can this tea be similar to new tea. ”

Zhang Yong picked his fingers and praised: "Grandpa Liu, can you taste this?" This is new tea. ”

Liu Zhong shook his head and said: "Don't bluff me, no matter how stupid our family is, we know the days, and the year hasn't passed yet, where is the new tea?" ”

Zhang Yong smiled mysteriously: "You don't know this, this tea was sent to Beijing from Huaishang Tangchi Mountain, they have hot springs and geothermal heat, we have ice and snow here, but the tea trees in the mountains and forests have already sprouted like spring, this is the first spring bud." The local prefect wants to list this tea as a tribute, no, I need to check here, so I want to taste how it tastes, isn't this what my imperial supervisor does? ”

Liu Zhong suddenly said: "I see, oops, this is a fat difference." ”

Zhang Yong came to Liu Zhong's side and squeezed his eyes and said: "Father-in-law Liu, our family gets along with you, and I will go back and bring a bag in a while, but I can only try it myself, don't make it public, otherwise I'm afraid someone will say gossip about our family." ”

Liu Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it." ”

Zhang Yong smacked his lips and said: "Don't just look down on my old Zhang, and don't violate the rules, if these teas want to become tribute, they are all sent for free to taste, our family has no fake public and private interests; By the way, Jiyuan's fragrant cake charcoal will also send a box to Father-in-law Liu for a while, the thing is fragrant, it burns smokeless but hot tightly, burn a piece in the room at night, and keep Father-in-law's dream for a night. ”

Liu Zhong naturally knows how precious this Jiyuan fragrant cake is, this is a fragrant cake that can only be used by the emperor and the queen mother, the heat is high, the smoke and dust are less fragrant, Zhang Yong is willing to give it to himself, it is a big face.

Liu Zhong's good impression of Zhang Yong has increased greatly, although this old boy was bullied by Liu Jin and has no skin, but he is still quite good at being a man, although he is Liu Jin's person, but he can't make a mistake with him, and people are also attentive to him.

The two talked about it for a while, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside carried the royal things from the warehouse to the car according to the list, and it seemed that it would take a while.

Liu Zhong looked around the compound and said with a smile: "Gonggong Zhang is a good place here, the place is also next to the Taiye Pool, and the scenery is clean and good, I really envy others." ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang said that I was joking, I can only nest here, but Grandpa Liu's future is limitless, I heard that Grandpa Liu is going to be promoted again, here I congratulate in advance, I must congratulate him on the day of promotion." ”

Liu Zhong was stunned and said, "Who did you listen to?" Why did our family have to be promoted? ”

Zhang Yong pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? Do you need to hear about this? The inner court newly opened the West Factory and the Inner Factory, and the position of the supervisor of the Inner Factory may be Liu Jin's own responsibility, but your brother will always occupy one of the vacant positions of the West Factory and the East Factory Supervisor, right? ”

Liu Zhong waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, although the candidates have not yet been decided, they have basically been established, the master of ceremonies Liu Gonggong admirals the inner factory, the imperial horse supervisor Gu Gonggong admiral the west factory, and the Bingbi Gao Gonggong admiral the east factory, how can there be anything about me Liu Zhong." ”

Zhang Yong was stunned and said, "What? Settled? This...... It's a shame. ”

Liu Zhong said: "People are old qualifications, our family doesn't have the heart to compete for position, just be honest and do my errand." ”

Zhang Yong shook his head and smacked his lips and said: "It's a pity, our family must have the opportunity of your brother this time, but I didn't expect that it was still an outsider in the end, and it was always better than some people, hey!" ”

Liu Zhong said: "You can't say that, it's all for the emperor, it doesn't matter." ”

Zhang Yong sighed: "It's still your brother who is open-minded, if it's me, how can I fight, I don't dare to say others, Gao Feng and Gu Dayong are old acquaintances, in terms of ability and change, your brother dumped them a few streets, but it's ...... Ay...... Don't talk about it. ”

Liu Zhong was silent, and he had some doubts about Zhang Yong's motive for speaking, but Zhang Yong seemed to have suddenly lost interest in this matter, and seeing that the carriage was almost loaded, he got up and beckoned a little eunuch to give a few words, and the little eunuch turned around after a while, and came with a bag of tea and a box of fragrant cakes.

"Brother, I will follow you with Xiao Anzi, you show me where to live, and let him deliver the tea and fragrant cakes directly to your house, so as not to be seen and discussed." Zhang Yong said in a low voice.

Liu Zhong nodded thoughtfully and thanked him, and Zhang Yong arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law Liu is busy with affairs, so I won't keep you, I have to come to me for tea and talk, I'm very idle." ”

Liu Zhong was a little stunned, he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, he mechanically said goodbye, Zhang Yong turned around and entered the public room, shook his head and sighed, and said to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
