Wang Bashi, the chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace who was usually aloof, rushed into the office of He Guangyi, the governor of Zhenfu, like crazy.
His eyes were like those of a dying person seeing hope. They had this frightening look but also this chilling and frightening expectation.
He Guangyi was right behind him, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, who had always been so agile, couldn't even keep up with the eunuch in front of him.
"Where are people, where are people, where are people..."
The bastard's eyes were red, and he stood there spinning around and slapping his thighs, "Old He, do you want to kill the Zajia family? Old He, man!"
"Please be patient!"
He Guangyi was also sweating on his forehead. He had no idea that the usually dignified and restrained Manager Wang would now act like a lunatic.
"Manager Wang, listen to me!"
The Jinyiwei are the minions of the emperor, but the eunuch Wang Ba Shai has been the emperor's companion since childhood. Not to mention his broad scope, even when several princes saw him, they would respectfully call him "Ba Shai" in private!
"The matter is not clear yet, so it is not easy for too many people to know!" He Guangyi said in a low voice, "I have put aside the rest of the people waiting for you. Now you can... control it a little..."
"Old He..." The bastard suddenly grabbed He Guangyi's hand and burst into tears, "What a great kindness! What a great kindness!"
Outside the official room, Guo Guanseng's eyes moved.
He suddenly remembered what Eunuch Park taught him an hour ago.
~~
Let's take the time back to an hour ago.
Forbidden City, Main Hall.
Pu Wuyong stood on the ladder, carefully wiping the precious books on the tall bookshelf with the soft cloth in his hand.
What this powerful man in the Forbidden City loves to do most in his spare time is to stand on a high place and wipe books, bookshelves, and ceiling beams...
"Father-in-law!"
"Tell me something!"
There were only two of them in the hall, so even if their voices were low, they could be heard clearly.
"I wonder if you still remember? Earlier, after the incident, the Qianqing Palace had privately entrusted He Guangyi to help him find his family."
Guo Guanseng said while organizing his words in his mind, "Now, there seems to be news!"
Then, he told him in detail about the discovery of the luggage roll.
He kept his head lowered, but he didn't see Pu Wu stop the movement of his hand, and looked at him with a very unhappy look.
"My humble position is now in charge of the Shadow Division's line in Jinyiwei, so after I heard about this, I didn't say anything. I took a private look at the thief who touched the luggage, and then came to report to you immediately..."
Before Guo Guanseng could finish speaking, he slapped a slightly wet rag and breathed directly on his face.
"Father-in-law?"
"That is to say, is it possible to help Lao Wang find his family now, right?" Pu Wuyong asked in a low voice.
"Yes Yes!"
"Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you go tell Lao Wang?"
"Ah...ah?"
Guo Guanseng froze on the spot, at a loss.
He was a little surprised, because the eunuch and Manager Wang in front of him both wanted to get rid of each other and then quickly!
"Foolish!" Pu Wuyong scolded again, "Do you think you could hide the incident from He Guangyi when you saw the thief who stole the luggage?"
"Yang Shunbao..." Pu Wuyong slowly came down from the ladder and sighed, "Not only can't you hide it, but you will also become an enemy!"
As he spoke, he added, "No one jumps out of the cracks in the rocks. They are all raised by his parents! He is lucky to find his family! Although we are not from the same family as him, it does not prevent his family from being separated.
The truth!”
Finally, Pu Wuyong said seriously, "You're not a eunuch, you don't understand! We people, how much we miss our relatives, we only have relatives in this world... Hey, even you don't understand!
"
"Even if the Zajia family doesn't deal with him, Lao Wang, they won't bother him on this matter! The Zajia family isn't that mean yet!"
"Go ahead and tell He Guangyi to Lao Wang. Remember, don't make too much noise!"
Guo Guanseng responded and hurried to find He Guangyi.
Little did he know that when his figure disappeared, two other eunuchs walked out from behind the tall bookshelf in the main hall.
"If they are really Lao Wang's relatives, go and see how many of them they have, where they live, how old they are, what their conduct is, and what they like?"
The two people nodded silently, and then disappeared into the shadow of the bookshelf again.
Then Pu Wuyong climbed onto the shelf again and wiped it carefully.
But he immediately paused, and the last words his godfather told him suddenly came to mind.
"Remember, when you are working as a servant next to your master, you can touch whoever the master tells you to touch. If the master doesn't let you touch him, you can't touch him even if you have the revenge of killing your father!"
"Not only can't you move, you can't even think about it! Once you think about it, there will be all kinds of tricks. The most annoying thing for the master is the tricks of the people below!"
"Furthermore, no matter how powerful you are, you are only the master's slave, and they are all the master's slaves. A slave can only have one master, but a master can have many slaves. The master is the master, and the slaves are slaves..."
~~
"You have a sip of tea first..."
"Why the hell are you still drinking tea, where are the people?"
The bastard sat on the chair and kept patting his thigh.
Guo Guanseng held the envelope that fell from the luggage with both hands, "Father, please take a look at this first!"
bass!
The bastard took a step forward, and Guo Guanseng noticed that the bastard's hands were shaking like catkins in the wind.
In fact, he was a little disappointed in his heart. He thought this matter would be the trigger of an internal struggle, but he didn't want to have the beauty of adulthood now.
But more than anything, he felt lucky for Eunuch Park's decision and happy that he had escaped a disaster.
"It was written by the Zajia family. The Zajia family remembers it!"
In an instant, the bastard was holding the letter and burst into tears.
"In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Za family's tea warehouse learned from the master to manage the warehouse..."
"The manager of the East Palace came over personally to tell me that the Third Master of the East Palace is short of people. I asked my master if there is a Xiaoli who is not very old, but stable and fair!"
"The master of Zajia recommended Zajia!" The bastard's tears couldn't help falling. He protected the letter like a treasure, holding the letter with both hands to prevent tears from falling.
"The emperor was fourteen years old that year!" Bastard cried in shame. "The Zajia family went to the East Palace. The general manager there was very satisfied with the Zajia family. He gave the Zajia family ten taels of silver and asked the Zajia family to make some sets of clean and decent shoes and hats...
..."
"The Zajia family has never seen so much money! Wuwuwu..."
The bastard's voice became more and more trembling, and his body was shaking violently, as if his breath was exhausted.
"I haven't told anyone about the Zajia family's background!"
"In recent years, no matter who we talk to, the Zajia family always says that they are from Korea. Even if some outsiders try to flatter us and help our family find our family members, the Zajia family still says that they are from Korea!"
"Ke Zajia is from Hebei, Baoding!"
"Zajia is the youngest son in the family. His parents are dead. My brother and sister-in-law thought that the Zajia family had too much to eat. They were afraid that when the Zajia family got older, they would make trouble with them and ask for houses and land, so they found an outsider to sell the Zajia family..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The house was filled with the shameful cries of the bastard, "The Za family still remembers the day they were sold. My sister chased them for more than ten miles, following the Za family's cart and calling for my brother..."
"Then the Zajia came to the capital. In order to sell it at a high price, they said that the Zajia were Koreans... wu wu wu..."
The bastard kept the letter close to his heart, "The Za family was bullied in the palace, and they didn't get ahead until they went to the East Palace."
"After I got the money, I didn't make new clothes. Instead, I thought of my sister! The Za family can't write, so I spent three coins and asked a literate eunuch to help me write."
"Then the Zajia took it back and described it one stroke at a time... The Zajia went through all the trouble to ask someone to help them deliver the letter and the money back to their hometown..."
"The Za family has been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that my sister will reply! But...it has been more than ten years...but there has been no news!"
"The Zajia... I am not afraid even if I die today! Because the Zajia is not alone, wuwu!"
Crying, the bastard looked up and looked at He Guangyi and Guo Guanseng, "Where are you two? Let me see you quickly..."
