Chapter 16 Corruption
Wei Xiaobao said: "What kind of Buddhist scripture is that?" But you have to see and learn. Suo Etu said: "Father-in-law Gui, let me say a word, don't be angry." Wei Xiaobao said: "Master Suo, what do you have to say, just say it."
Suo Etu smiled: "I don't dare to take orders, but I suddenly remembered something. Gonggong Gui, this scripture was specified by the queen mother and the emperor, and the worship was placed in the treasure house, which is extraordinary. Why does it matter, we don't understand. I really want to open it and take a look, but I'm afraid that there are some important words in it. The queen mother doesn't like us to see us as slaves, this ...... This one...... Hee-hee......"
Wei Xiaobao was mentioned by him, and he woke up, hurriedly put the scripture back on the table, and said: "Yes, yes!" Master Suo, I appreciate your advice. I didn't understand the reasoning behind this, and I almost got into trouble. Suo Etu smiled: "What did Gonggong Gui say?" The emperor sent the three of us to do things together, your business is my business, where is there anything to divide each other? If I didn't think that Father-in-law Gui was my own person, I wouldn't dare to say this casually. ”
Wei Xiaobao said: "You are a senior official in the court, I ...... I'm just a little eunuch, how can I be my own person with you? Suo Etu said: "Gonggong Gui, you are saying this kind of thing, it is obviously hurting me." Xiang Yan smiled and said: "Master Suo is so righteous, why do you have to see outside, Xiaobao?" Suo Etu smiled: "Yes, yes! It's all your own people, and you don't need to see outside. If the two fathers-in-law need my help in the future, just ask, don't be polite. ”
Wei Xiaobao said: "Since I hit my mother's belly, I don't understand what the word 'polite' means. Lord Suo, Xiaoyan, what is politeness? The three laughed at each other. Suo Etu said: "Let's pick some treasures." Two fathers-in-law, what do you see? Wei Xiaobao said: "What is the most valuable, I don't understand, you pick for me." Xiang Yan also said: "Xiaobao and I are both children from the countryside, and we haven't seen much of the world, why don't you ask the adults to help us choose?"
Suo Etu said, "Okay." picked up two strings of pearls and a jade horse, handed them to Wei Xiaobao, and said, "These two things are very valuable, Gonggong Gui wants them!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay." Put the pearl and jade horse in your arms. Suo Etu picked up two strings of pearls and a jade rabbit, handed them to Xiang Yan, and said, "These two things are also very valuable, ask my father-in-law for them!" Xiang Yan put away the pearl and the jade rabbit.
At this time, I suddenly heard Wei Xiaobao "huh". Looking back, there was a dagger next to Wei Xiaobao that was inserted into the floor, and it went straight into the handle. Wei Xiaobao leaned over and pulled out his dagger and said, "This short sword is a little strange." Suo Etu said: "It seems that this is a rare sword, let's try it." He took a saber from above, held it horizontally in his hand, and said, "Gonggong Gui, you use your short sword to cut at this saber."
Wei Xiaobao held the dagger and slashed it down on the saber, and with a "wipe", the saber was immediately broken into two. The three of them shouted in unison, "Good!" Suo Etu smiled: "Congratulations to Father-in-law Gui." You are such a sword, the treasure in the Ao Bai Mansion, and you are headed by this sword. Wei Xiaobao said: "Master Suo, if you want it, let it be given to you." Suo Etu smiled: "I was born as a military attaché, and I will be a civil official in the future, not a military attaché!" This sword is still good for Gonggong Gui to play with. ”
Wei Xiaobao handed the dagger to Xiang Yan again and said, "Xiao Yan, do you want it?" Good for you. Xiang Yan smiled: "I don't like to fight with others with a dagger, I prefer to stand far away with a bow and arrow." Suo Etu picked up a three-barreled sleeve arrow, which could shoot three arrows in a row, handed it to Xiang Yan, and said, "Then this will be given to Xiang's father-in-law." He also taught Xiang Yan how to tie the sleeve arrow to the inside of the forearm, how to put an arrow on the sleeve arrow, and how to shoot an arrow.
Wei Xiaobao inserted the dagger back into the hilt of his sword and tied it to the belt of his coat. Suo Etu smiled: "Gonggong Gui, this sword is very short. It is better to put it in the boots, so that it will not be seen when you enter the palace. Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes!" Put the dagger into the boot shaft. After a while, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but pull out the dagger and cut things indoors to play, while Xiang Yan was studying the short crossbow.
I only heard Suo Etu say "huh" again. Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan looked up and saw Suo Etu holding a swarthy vest in his hand. Wei Xiaobao asked, "Master Suo, what's so strange about this vest?" Suo Etu said: "I don't know, but it must be unusual to be able to put it together with so many treasures." Xiang Yan said: "Xiaobao, you can use a short sword to scratch the vest and try it." Wei Xiaobao slashed on the vest with a short sword, but there was no trace.
Suo Etu said: "I thought that the sword in Gonggong Gui's hand was the first treasure here, but I didn't expect that there was a treasure robe that was no worse than Gonggong's sword." Two fathers-in-law, which of you wants this treasure robe? Wei Xiaobao said: "I already have a sword, so give it to Xiaoyan!" Xiang Yan smiled: "I shoot arrows from a distance with a bow and arrow, and it is very safe." Xiaobao is holding a dagger and rushing up desperately, it is more dangerous, Baoyi is still for Xiaobao! ”
Suo Etu counted the treasures of Aobai, and ordered his subordinates to come in and look at the initial list of household wealth. I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and said, "Ao Bai is really good at looting, his family property is more than double what I expected."
He waved his hand to order his subordinates to go out, and said: "Two fathers-in-law, there is a saying among their Han people: 'Thousands of miles for officials are only for wealth'. This time, the emperor's grace was immense, and the emperor sent us to do this messenger, originally to pick us to make a windfall. Well, we'll revise this list later. More than 2 million taels of silver, how much do you say should be reported? Wei Xiaobao said: "Then I don't understand, everything is up to Master Suo." Xiang Yan also said: "Master Suo, you are in charge."
