As soon as he walked away, shouts came from the imperial kitchen. Shao Yan recognized the voice of the old eunuch from before. The so-called "big-headed elephant" was the middle-aged soldier standing outside the door who knew how to roar like a lion.
The big-headed elephant heard the call inside and hurriedly ran in. After a while, he came out with a wooden box in his hand. At this time, the old eunuch said again behind him, "Big-headed elephant, remember to hand it over with your own hands."
To Eunuch Wei"
"Oh, I got it." The beard at the corner of the big-headed elephant's mouth swayed slightly, and then he walked straight to the east. As soon as the big-headed elephant left, the old eunuch ran into the royal kitchen and drove a group of cooks in white coats outside the door.
He thought: "You are lucky today. Eunuch Wei is going to give you your monthly salary in advance. Our family has just asked the big-headed elephant to take your roster. You can go and get the money now."
"But, father-in-law, it's already noon, and the servants are still rushing to prepare for the emperor's lunch meal."
"Huh, you're talking too much. Don't our family know? How long will it take to get the money? If the emperor blames it, someone will take care of it for you. Are you going? Do you still want this month's salary?"
The eunuch said in a threatening tone that no matter how stupid the cooks were, they would not fight against the money. They all took off their white coats and ran towards the east in a swarm.
Shao Yan, who was hiding behind the house, secretly said with joy, "It turns out that this is how people paid wages in ancient times, but this old guy is really superfluous. How many cooks are there in the imperial dining room? Can the manager named Wei not count them? What kind of bullshit roster? And what's more?"
, Why do you have to choose a time to eat quickly...' No, this old guy is afraid that he is going to do something shameful? This is usually how it is played in TV dramas. The more Shao Yan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but when he
When his eyes turned to the door of the imperial dining room again, the old eunuch had disappeared without a trace.
A dog can run faster than a rabbit. Shao Yan saw that there was no one near the imperial dining room, and he was really hungry. Damn it, no matter what conspiracy he had, the top priority was to fill his stomach. So,
His three steps turned into two steps and he arrived at the door of the imperial dining room. He peeked in through the crack in the door and saw all kinds of delicacies placed on the table next to the stove, which made his mouth water.
Damn, so much? It’s all delicacies from mountains and seas. Can the emperor eat them all? Let me help them, just treat it as a good deed. Shao Yan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his hand, then opened the door and walked in quietly.
, and ran to the table next to the stove as quickly as possible. Without saying a word, he picked up a plate of pastries and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"A gentleman is a man who eats voraciously, and he is a villain when he chews slowly. That's absolutely true." Shao Yan held a piece of braised pork in his mouth and recited the quotation his uncle taught him. After a while, his chest and sleeves
His clothes were all stained with oil. After a "big sweep", the imperial kitchen was almost completely looted, and all the best products were ruined by him.
After drinking and eating, he found a piece of eunuch's clothes hanging on the wall not far from the stove. He thought that the clothes on his body were really dirty, so he put them on and changed into a young eunuch.
eunuch
"I'm smiling proudly, I'm smiling proudly..." Shao Yan was lying happily on the table, stroking his full belly with both hands, and humming a song in a low voice. At this moment, he wished he could light a cigarette.
In his opinion, that was the real god. Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea, jumped down from the table, went to the back of the stove, and placed the half-dried cigarette on it to dry.
Bake it for a while. Unfortunately, this method didn’t work in the end because people came from outside.
With the sound of "woo" as the door was pushed open, the old eunuch who spoke before slowly walked in, followed by a young eunuch who was about seventeen or eighteen years old and had a sinister look.
Looks a little uncomfortable all over
"Who did this...this...who did this?" The old eunuch saw that the whole room was in a mess, and his eyes suddenly glowed green with anger. The young eunuch said worriedly: "Eunuch Zhang, has someone been here? Then what should we do?
…”
"Are you afraid?" The old eunuch looked at him contemptuously. The little eunuch did not dare to answer. The old eunuch said again: "Xiao Wenzi, we have agreed. Once this matter is completed, you will enjoy it for the rest of your life."
Endless glory and wealth"
"But...but what we want to harm is the current emperor," the little eunuch said tremblingly: "The queen has suffered miscarriages a few times before, and the emperor has ordered people to investigate. If we miss it this time, then..."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that the emperor will punish your nine clans? Don't forget, you are a eunuch, and you have been an orphan since you were a child. What are you worried about?"
"But..." The little eunuch pointed to the delicacies on the table that Shao Yan had messed up. The old eunuch understood what he meant, so he tiptoed under the stove and calmly took out a plate that looked like
The little eunuch looked at him in surprise and asked: "Eunuch Zhang, is this...?"
"Yes, it is specially prepared for the emperor." The old eunuch said with a malicious smile: "This is the noble cake that the envoy from Soochow paid tribute to some time ago. Everyone knows that our emperor likes to eat cakes the most, especially the tributes from Fanbang.
Let's just make a plan, and even if something goes wrong, the Soochow Kingdom will take care of everything for us, so what are we afraid of?"
The little eunuch couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and the old eunuch's expression changed instantly, "If you dare to go back on your word, hey, you should know what the consequences will be?"
The little eunuch didn't speak
What are the consequences? Isn't it just a dead end? This old fox is so damn tactful. Shao Yan, who was hiding under the table, could not help but curse secretly. As he was cursing, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
: "Master, Master, the call is coming, answer the phone quickly. Master, Master, the call is coming, answer the phone quickly..."
Damn it, no, brother, you just yelled once and that's enough. You helped me last time, but this time I really got you killed. Shao Yan broke out in a sweat and quickly turned off his phone.
"Who? Who? Who? Come out!" The old eunuch surnamed Zhang looked around hurriedly. The young eunuch searched carefully along the stove and in front of the table, hesitating and saying: "Father, is someone calling?
You? I heard someone shouting 'Master, Master' just now."
"Fart! Have you ever heard someone call our family that?" Eunuch Zhang slapped his head angrily, and Shao Yan couldn't help but almost laughed.
"The Emperor has arrived!" At the critical moment, a high-pitched voice sounded outside the door. The old man and the young man in the house didn't care about 'catching the thief', and knelt on the ground in panic to welcome the Emperor's arrival.
The door was pushed open again, and what came in was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a dragon robe, with a square face, fair skin, and a slender beard on his chin. He can be described as "fair eyebrows and beautiful eyes."
,——This person is Zheng Kai, the king of Nanliang Kingdom
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!" the two eunuchs, old and young, kowtowed loudly.
"Everyone get up!" Zheng Kai waved his hands casually, but there was no expression on his face. However, the old eunuch next to him noticed the chaotic scene immediately, and then pointed at Eunuch Zhang who was kneeling on the ground and cursed: "Eunuch Zhang
,This...what the hell is going on?"
"Mr. Wei, calm down. It's all because of the servant's negligence. Because the door was not closed properly when Xiao Wenzi went out just now, a dog accidentally let in." The cunning eunuch Zhang passed all the responsibilities away, and the little eunuch knew that
It was a false accusation, but he could only swallow it. However, when Shao Yan heard that he was called a dog, he was very angry. He dared to call me a dog. You will be able to look at me later.
Manager Wei shouted: "Come here, pull these two dog slaves out and beat them thirty times." In fact, he was just pretending. After all, except for the big-headed elephant, how could there be any soldiers in this area? Besides, the big-headed elephant still has
Didn't come back
"Forget it, Eunuch Wei, in my opinion, Eunuch Zhang and Xiao Wenzi didn't do it intentionally. Those who don't know are not guilty, so please spare them this time." Zheng Kai said sincerely, and Eunuch Wei nodded in agreement.
"Thank you Lord for your grace, long live long live long live!"
Zheng Kai sighed and said: "Hey, I originally planned to come over to see the noble cakes that were sent as tribute to Soochow last time, but I never thought..."
"Your Majesty, the noble cake is still there! It's still there!" Eunuch Zhang was immediately overjoyed. At least he no longer had to worry about Xiao Wenzi's mistake, so he held the poisonous noble cake in both hands and walked to Zheng Kai. Zheng Kai stretched out his arms happily.
He dipped his thumb on it and was about to put his thumb dipped in pastry into his mouth to taste...
"It's poisonous, don't eat it!" Then, there was a 'bang' sound, and the table was turned upside down. Shao Yan rushed in front of Zheng Kai as quickly as possible. Zheng Kai was stunned for a while, and the other three eunuchs
I was so stunned that my eyes were straightened.
"You...you...you are so bold. Which palace eunuch are you from? How dare you hide in the imperial kitchen?" Eunuch Zhang, who had a guilty conscience, looked at Shao Yan in fear. When Manager Wei saw the corners of his mouth shining with oil, he glared angrily: "Dog
The slave is so brave, he actually hid in the imperial kitchen to eat secretly, come on, come on, come on..."
"Save your energy and don't show off your arrogant voice. Are you afraid that people won't know that you are a eunuch?" Shao Yan took off the hat on his head and threw it aside, smiling heartily: "Besides, Grandpa, I am not your slave, there is no need.
Those who yell and scream, you don’t deserve to talk to me at all.”
"Special envoy of Xichu...Special envoy of Xichu?" Eunuch Zhang recognized him at a glance. Zheng Kai was shocked. He pointed at Shao Yan and asked: "You, you are the special envoy of Xichu?"
"It's not important whether you are a special envoy or not. What's important is that someone wants to harm you." As he spoke, Shao Yan's eyes kept wandering over Eunuch Zhang and Xiao Wenzi, and the two suddenly had a cold war.
