Chapter Twenty-Eight: Knowing People, Knowing Faces, Not Knowing Hearts (Seeking Collection, Seeking Reading)
In a courtyard with two entrances and two exits.
The two courtyards are connected by a curved gate.
This is the residence of Zhang Dafu and Mr. Zhang.
Since Mr. Lin spent most of his time in Kunning Palace.
Therefore, this manager has become the manager of the cold palace in the actual sense.
The courtyard where you live is naturally much larger than that of the steward.
Now.
The two interconnected courtyards are filled with round tables.
There are stacks of delicacies on it, as well as moon cakes, all of which are delicacies that the little eunuchs and palace maids in the cold palace can't eat on weekdays.
These eunuchs and palace maids sat around the round table, looking at these delicacies, their eyes lit up, but none of them dared to move their chopsticks first, waiting for Manager Zhang to speak.
Mr. Zhang has a big belly and a red face, with a comfortable appearance.
On his left and right, there are two stewards, Chen Gonggong and Xu Gonggong.
Further to the side, there are Li Xuan and Zhao Fang and other miscellaneous eunuchs who are more important.
Li Xuan glanced at Gonggong Chen, who gestured with his eyes, indicating that everything was normal.
'I hope Gonggong Chen can arrange it properly, I am in this state now, but I can't go out of my body. ’
However, after the meeting has begun, you have to take the opportunity to leave for a while and see how things go. ’
Li Xuan thought in his heart.
That's when it happened.
Manager Zhang finally picked up the wine glass and stood up: "In the past half a year, everyone has worked hard, our family knows that the cold palace is not as good as the harem halls and the twelve eunuchs, but our cold palace also has the benefits of the cold palace, that is, there are not many things, and there are not so many intrigues, as long as you work hard, what should be yours is yours, today our family also took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival to treat the big guys, and everyone let go of eating tonight." ”
"Here, a toast first!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly raised the wine glass in their hands and shouted: "To Father-in-law Zhang (Mr. Zhang)." ”
Mr. Zhang drank all the wine in the cup, and his eyes showed a look of enjoyment.
Few people in the cold palace know that he was a stall leader in the East Factory back then, and because he was tired of the perennial fighting, he found an opportunity to transfer to the cold palace to serve.
After all, the eunuchs of Dongchang lived a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and if they were not careful, they would be at risk of death.
Where is the comfort of the cold palace.
Therefore, he cherishes his current life very much, and he does his best to do all the things in the cold palace, and he does not dare to miss the slightest.
Even when he treats his subordinates, he is both gracious and powerful, and he is never too harsh.
Because he knows very well that if he wants to get things done, the people under his hands can't have too many thoughts.
Take today's dinner as an example, it is nothing more than a means to win people's hearts.
"Come, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables." Mr. Zhang greeted.
Then the people began to eat.
On this occasion, a toast is indispensable!
After Li Xuan toasted a glass of wine to Manager Zhang and the two stewards, he sat down for a while, and then left the wine table with the help of going to the thatched house.
Closing the door of the thatched house, Li Xuan directly ran the "Burning Lamp Method", and the mud pill in the center of his eyebrows was shocked, and his soul went out of his body.
Although Gonggong Chen said that he would handle things well, he was still a little uneasy and wanted to see it in person.
Moreover, he also wanted to know who Zhao Fang had found to frame him.
After all.
This Zhao Fang is at the same table with him, and it is definitely impossible to do it himself.
Mr. Zhang's small courtyard is only a few miles away from Li Xuan's dormitory.
In a minute or so, Li Xuan arrived.
Li Xuan looked around and found that in the corner of the courtyard, there were still two burly eunuchs hiding in the corner, staring at his room.
He knew that this was a eunuch arranged by Gonggong Chen in advance, in order to catch the person who wanted to frame him.
At that moment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
If he were to take action himself, he would inevitably show flaws.
Fortunately, his father-in-law is quite reliable, and things have become much simpler.
I didn't have to wait a few minutes.
Li Xuan's eyes flickered.
In the night, a sneaky figure walked quickly towards his house.
When he saw the appearance of the figure clearly, his eyes suddenly cold.
It's him!
This figure walking towards his house was none other than his roommate, Xiao Yoshiko.
I saw Xiao Jizi holding a white porcelain vase tightly in his hand, looking around, and sneakily came to the front of the house.
He took out the key and was about to open the door, when the two eunuchs who had been lurking on the side immediately rushed out!
"Who are you?!"
"What are you going to do?!"
Yoshiko was startled and wanted to struggle, but was instantly pressed to the ground.
The two eunuchs arranged by Gonggong Chen are very strong, even surpassing Zhao Fang, and they are naturally easy to deal with Xiao Jizi.
One of the eunuchs snatched the porcelain bottle from Xiao Jizi's hand and said in a low voice: "You press him, I'll go and hide the medicine." ”
said.
He strode away and walked briskly towards another dormitory.
Li Xuan followed behind and found that the eunuch walked in the direction, and it turned out to be Zhao Fang's room.
The eunuch took out a slender hairpin from his arms, opened the door in three or two clicks, and then sneaked into Zhao Fang's room and put the pill under Zhao Fang's bed.
'Father-in-law Chen's trick is anti-guest and mainly played. ’
Li Xuan didn't stay long after seeing the eunuch close the door and leave, his spirit flashed, and he quickly returned to his body.
He relaxed and returned to the table.
Now.
Chen Gonggong and Xu Gonggong are talking about wine, looking like old friends.
I can't see that the two are fighting each other behind their backs.
It's all a bunch of old foxes, it seems that no one in this world can fully believe it except themselves! Li Xuan's heart sank when he thought of the subdued little Jizi.
To be honest, his impression of Yoshiko is still good.
It's going to happen, it's nice to speak, and it's not going to tell you what you know.
The first time Li Xuan went to the small night market, it was still the road led by Xiao Jizi.
I didn't expect this guy to unite with outsiders to deal with him.
I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart.
Three rounds of drinking.
Manager Zhang was drunk, looked at Gonggong Xu on the side, and said: "Old Xu, you are about to leave the palace to enjoy your family, why are you sullen tonight, what is the matter, tell our family, our family can do it." ”
Gonggong Xu said with a little trepidation: "I bothered your Yaxing, the small one is really a sin and deserves death, it's just that the small one that was put in the cabinet was stolen yesterday, and this pill was bought by the small one for half a year's salary, and now it is gone, and the small one will inevitably be depressed, and I hope that Mr. Zhang will forgive the sin." ”
When Li Xuan and Chen Gonggong heard this, they glanced at each other and knew that the show was about to begin.
I'm afraid that even if Manager Zhang doesn't take the initiative to ask, this father-in-law Xu will find an excuse to take the initiative to bring up this matter.
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he slapped the table: "How can this be reasonable, there are thieves in our cold palace, it is so bold, you can rest assured, our family will definitely make decisions for you in this matter!" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
Gonggong Xu was overjoyed, and glanced at Li Xuan with a faint gaze.
