However, he did not go back to his room after seeing his father leave. Instead, he listened carefully to the sound of drums and called two people to leave Gu Ningbo's house together.
The three of them turned left and right in the alley, avoiding all the soldiers on patrol at night, and came to the door of a small courtyard. Liu Haojia knocked on the door and whispered: "Open the door, it's me!"
Then I heard the sound of someone walking around in the courtyard, and then the courtyard door opened. A man wearing a green robe and a small cap, who looked like a servant of a wealthy family, appeared at the door. He saw Liu Haojia's face beaming with joy, and whispered: "Master Liu, come here
Come on! Please come in!"
The voice of this man was not like that of an ordinary man, but rather feminine. Looking at his fair face and beard, and without Adam's apple, he was clearly a eunuch. However, Liu Hao's family was not surprised when they saw the man, and walked directly through the door.
He went directly into the main room and opened the door curtain. There was a person in the room, and this person was Zhang Jia. Seeing Zhang Jia, Liu Haojia raised his hands and said, "Zhang Banban, please wait for me!"
Zhang Jia stood up and returned the courtesy and said: "It doesn't matter, our family won't be able to go back to the palace tonight anyway! Come, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea."
After Liu Haojia sat down, he said: "Zhang Banban, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the palace for several days during this period. Will there be anything going on with Long Live Lord?"
Zhang Jia was naturally worried about Emperor Wanli, but what he worried about was not whether Emperor Wanli could be well served, but whether someone would take his place! But he still said: "Wan live this time can still be tolerated."
.But we should hurry up!"
Liu Haojia naturally understood what Zhang Jia was thinking and immediately said: "No problem, it's just that Zhang Banban will have to work harder during this period!"
Zhang Jia said: "We are all doing things for Long Live Lord, so it is not hard work!"
After speaking, he waved to the eunuch dressed as a servant to come forward and said: "Master Liu, this is our godson, named Zhang Zhi. From now on, he will stay in this small courtyard and be responsible for liaison duties."
Liu Haojia smiled and said: "Zhang Banban, how old are you, why did you take away your godson?"
This is not Liu Haojia making fun of Zhang Jia, but the godson he adopted looks to be several years older than him!
Zhang Jia said nonchalantly: "Mr. Liu, you don't know. This is the rule in the palace! When we reach our position, if we don't accept a few godsons, how can we do anything in the palace?"
Liu Haojia shook his head and said nothing. He also knew that the affairs in the palace were very complicated, and it was better not to participate if he could.
At this time, the eunuch named Zhang Zhi stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "My servant Zhang Zhi has met Mr. Liu! In the future, I will be working under Mr. Liu. If anything goes wrong, please forgive me!"
Liu Haojia nodded casually and said: "It's easy to say! But I think Zhang Banban can accept you as his godson. I think you have some abilities! Just do your job well!"
Then he turned to Zhang Jia: "Zhang Banban, it's getting late, should we leave early? You have to return to the palace tomorrow morning!"
Zhang Jia said: "Okay, let's hurry up."
Then the five people left the yard and got into the alley, and soon they came to an alley. Liu Zhi, who was behind Liu Haojia, whispered: "Sir, Eunuch Zhang, the first person we are looking for lives in the alley.
It’s the second house you enter.”
As soon as Liu Haojia waved his hand, Liu Zhi and his companions rushed into the alley. When Liu Haojia and the other two slowly came to the courtyard door, the courtyard door had been opened. Liu Zhi, who was standing at the door, whispered: "Go to the east wing again."
, haven’t slept yet. But the old man and the child have already gone to bed.”
Liu Haojia said in a low voice: "Okay, move quickly and don't let him shout! There are all guards living around. It would be bad if his whereabouts are revealed!"
Liu Zhi nodded to express his understanding, turned around and took his companions to the east wing. At this time, the lights were flickering in the window of the room, but no one's shadow was cast on the window. It seemed that the oil lamp was placed on the table under the window.
Liu Haojia looked back and saw that Zhang Zhi had already closed the courtyard door without making any sound, so he nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that there was a reason why Zhang Zhi was chosen as his godson by Zhang Jia.
When he turned back, Liu Zhi had already led someone to the door of the room! He pushed the door gently and found that the door was not locked, so he pushed the door open and rushed in quickly! At the same time, he took out a handful from his waist
Here comes the dagger! In a small space, a dagger is much more useful than a long knife!
After the two people dodged and rushed in, they heard a scream from a woman inside, and then everything happened! Liu Haojia frowned and led people in directly. He saw that Liu Zhi had indeed restrained the two people in the room, one person and one person.
The dagger was placed on the necks of the couple. Both of them were wearing casual clothes at home, and it seemed that they had no intention of going to bed right away.
At this moment, an old woman in the main room coughed and said, "My dear, what happened?"
Liu Haojia knew that this was the old mother of the male master who was speaking. His father had died of illness five years ago. Liu Haojia tilted his head and gestured to the yard, asking the male master to deal with it. Liu Zhi also lowered the dagger a little to remind him
Don't mess around.
Although this person had a look of panic on his face, he quickly made up his mind. He didn't want to involve the old mother in danger, so he said loudly: "Mom, you can go to sleep, it's okay! That stupid woman knocked over the needle and thread.
The bamboo basket was pricked by a needle!"
Then he heard the old lady mutter a few words, and then there was no more sound. Liu Haojia couldn't help but shook his head. This old-fashioned courtyard is not good at all, the sound insulation is too poor! Even slightly louder movements in adjacent rooms can be heard from each other.
Listen!
At this time, the male host whispered: "Brother, we are all colleagues of Jin Yiwei. Is there anything we can't talk about? Besides, you are all very jealous. I think I have never offended you, so what do you think of coming here late at night?"
What are you doing?”
Liu Haojia saw him constantly looking into the yard and knew that he was worried about his mother, so he whispered: "Li Jingtao, right? Don't worry, I have something to do with you, and it won't involve your mother. Now.
Ask your mother-in-law to go to the west wing and stay with your child for a while. We will leave after we finish talking to you, no one will be hurt!"
After hearing this, Li Jingtao breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in a low voice to the woman who was like sifting chaff: "Silly woman, hurry up and go to the west wing! Be careful not to disturb your son!"
After the scene just now, the woman was so frightened by the dagger on her neck that her hands and feet were weak! Although the dagger was removed at this time, she was still unable to take a step, as if her feet were bound, she moved out step by step!
