"I have long heard that Zhang Zhoumu is a chivalrous, civilized and military man, and a generous man. When I see you today, you are truly worthy of your reputation!"
"Then thank you Zhang Zhoumu!"
"In the future, if you, Zhangzhou Mu, are of any use for me, you will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Guixi smiled happily and kowtowed to Zhang Bao, then put the pearl away happily.
"Haha, since Eunuch Xi said so, I really need my father-in-law's help with a little thing. Eunuch Xi often walks in the palace, so he must be very familiar with the environment inside the palace."
"I also want to trouble Eunuch Xi to draw a map of the palace. Also, I don't know where the emperor is being held now?"
Zhang Bao said to Guixi.
In fact, Zhang Bao could have just arrested him and beaten him severely, so he forced the young eunuch to tell him.
But if the little eunuch plays a trick and deliberately draws some wrong places when drawing the map, the loss will be huge for Zhang Bao and the others.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty is currently locked up in the Qianxin Palace. There are several guards guarding you day and night."
"As for the map of the palace? What's there? And how to walk on it?"
"What does Zhangzhou Mu want this for?"
Guixi asked Zhang Bao.
"My dear father-in-law, how about visiting our Hezhou in the future?"
"These other places are not peaceful now, but our Hezhou is still very stable for the time being."
"I will buy you a big house and send ten or twenty maids to serve you. Anyone in the house can be taken over by then."
"I wonder what happens under the wishes of the happy father-in-law?"
Zhang Bao did not continue what Guixi said, but continued to ask.
"Hey, Zhang Zhoumu, you are so polite!"
"You are talking too much just now. Since Zhang Zhoumu did this, it is Zhang Zhoumu's reason. I am not bragging to you. I have been in the palace for seven or eight years and just stole things for five or six years. There are many secrets in this palace.
You know, my family is pure!"
"Shopkeeper Zheng, I will serve you with pen and ink!"
"Let's also paint a picture of it for Zhang Zhoumu!"
When Guixi heard what Zhang Bao said to him, he immediately became confused.
Zheng Kongqing had already gone to the side and brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After a while, Guixi drew a map. I have to say that Guixi was not bragging. The map was quite decent and complete, from the front hall to the back palace, from side rooms to various gardens.
, marked one by one, even the size of each courtyard is different.
It seems that Guixi has made a lot of money in the past few years in the palace.
Of course, these place names were all written by Zheng Kongqing based on what Guixi said, but Guixi was illiterate.
On the map, a very conspicuous circle was drawn, which is exactly where the emperor is now.
With this map, it will be convenient for Wang Zheng and the others!
The part drawn by Princess Yongtai on the other side can be verified with the map on Guixi's side, so that there is basically no mistake.
"Zhang Zhoumu, when do you think we are leaving?"
"From now on, our family will no longer serve this palace!"
Guixi smiled and said to Zhang Bao, eager to leave.
For Guixi, it seems that he has vaguely guessed what Zhang Bao is going to do. If Zhang Bao succeeds, he will be a great hero by then.
Now I want to go back immediately to join my father and live a prosperous life together.
"It's easy to talk!"
"Zhao Gao, send Eunuch Xi home!"
Zhang Bao winked at Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao understood the idea and while sending Guixi away, he stabbed Guixi in the back and separated his head.
By the way, he took out the pearls and a lot of silver on his body and handed them to Zhang Bao with both hands.
Zhang Bao took the pearls and waved the rest, while Zhao Gao smiled and put them away.
This Guixi, since he knew Zhang Bao's identity from the beginning, was destined not to be left behind.
Not to mention, with Guixi's mouth, no one in the entire capital will know about it tonight after leaving here.
Zheng Kongqing on the side was worried about whether the secret would be leaked if Guixi went out like this.
But he didn't expect Zhang Bao to take action directly.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Kongqing smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing...
Looking at Zheng Kongqing's pale face, Zhang Bao wiped his hands and stood up.
"Shopkeeper Zheng is scared?"
"Don't worry, as long as you Zheng family don't have small thoughts, I won't attack you."
"In addition, there are some things you need to do. Where are the clothes of these eunuchs made?"
"It couldn't have been done by someone in the palace, right?"
Zhang Bao asked Zheng Kongqing.
"People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned them to several cloth shops. I have some old friends here who know a little bit about this."
"Zhang Zhoumu, if you need some eunuch clothes, I'll get them for you!"
Zheng Kongqing immediately understood what Zhang Bao meant.
"Forget it, you can't tell Zhao Gao and the others the place, they have their own ideas!"
"During this period of time, if you have nothing to do, don't go out casually."
After Zhang Bao finished speaking to Zheng Kongqing, he walked out directly.
After coming out of the main entrance of Zheng Bao Bank, Zhang Bao was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he wandered around the capital alone.
No one in the capital knew Zhang Bao, the governor of Hezhou.
Even if Cao Kang saw him, he might not be able to recognize him.
So Zhang Bao didn't have any worries.
The capital is indeed a capital city. In terms of area alone, it is at least a hundred times that of Sanhe County.
There are many shops on both sides of the wide road. If you look around, you can't see the end. Red bricks, green tiles and brightly colored pavilions and eaves are lined up in rows. The prosperity of the capital is really amazing.
The prosperity of a capital can often reflect the strength of a dynasty at its peak.
Not to mention, Kyoto, where Daxia is now located, was also the capital during the Great Qian Dynasty. After two dynasties and many generations of development, the current capital has a sense of familiarity with Chang'an or Luoyang in ancient times.
Zhang Bao stood on the head of a bridge, stroking the mottled bridge stones.
It's a pity that a good dynasty has declined like this.
But if the old doesn't go away, the new won't come. When you take over this capital, it may be its most glorious moment!
Zhang Bao patted the stone bridge and walked towards the bustling area ahead.
