The young eunuch decided to make a special trip to the Prime Minister's house to visit. Firstly, he was not going to establish a relationship, and secondly, he was not going to find out Wang Shugui's real background. What was he going to do? He wanted to blackmail this greedy old guy.
Prime Minister Wang heard from the servants that "Eunuch Pan You'an, the steward of the inner palace, is outside the door asking for an audience." Wang Shugui was surprised at first: he and the young eunuch had not seen each other alone since he came back from the palace this time, and everyone had a dislike for each other.
He knew very well that they were supposed to be sworn enemies, so why did the little eunuch come to the door today? Seeing him or not, Prime Minister Wang let the little eunuch into the study with full of suspicion.
The little eunuch sat down carelessly, stopped saying any polite words, raised his legs, and opened his mouth to borrow money from Wang Shugui. Wang Shugui accompanied him carefully and asked:
"Eunuch Pan, oh no, you should be called Pan Shangshu. You and I are officials in the same dynasty, so it's better to be an official. Why do you want to borrow money? Let me tell you the amount. I still have one or two hundred taels of silver."
The little eunuch stretched out a slap
Wang Shugui was shocked and said: "Aren't you trying to kill me? Where can I get so much money?"
The little eunuch smiled and waved his hands and said: "Prime Minister, where do you want to go? I don't want white goods, I want yellow goods."
"Yellow goods, my God! You want gold? No, no, you can borrow it elsewhere. Even if you kill me, I won't be able to get you five hundred taels of gold!" Wang Shugui shook his head and said.
The little eunuch picked up the bowl of tea with both hands, and as soon as he lifted the lid, his eyes shot out from his hands. He still had the same cynical tone and said disapprovingly:
"Prime Minister, haven't you heard that you get half of it when you meet?"
"That's how bandits divide their spoils! Do you think I'm a bandit?" Wang Shugui shouted
"Prime Minister, can you please lower your voice?" The little eunuch deliberately lowered his voice.
"I didn't steal anyone's things, who should I be afraid of?" Wang Shugui still looked angry.
The little eunuch remained calm and just drank tea by himself. The lid of the cup made a chattering sound on the rim of the cup. It was inconvenient for Wang Shugui to ask someone for more tea, so he picked up the pot and refilled the little eunuch's tea bowl. The little eunuch pushed the tea bowl away and patted it gently.
table, smiled and said:
"Prime Minister, I'm here to lend you money, not to snatch money from your house. Why are you so angry?"
Wang Shugui himself felt a little out of character, complaining hysterically in front of a twenty-year-old kid, and treating him too seriously. After thinking for a moment, Wang Shugui calmed down and said:
"Pan Gong (he deliberately deleted a word), it's not that I'm trying to offend you. I really can't do anything about it. Besides, you are in the palace, you have free food and clothing, and you enjoy the supply system. As far as I know, you don't have any burden. You want that much.
What is the money used for?”
The little eunuch picked up the tea cup again, opened the lid and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly:
"Prime Minister, let me tell you the truth, I hung up a colorful pockmark in the brothel. The girl was still a young girl, and the old madam offered five thousand taels..."
Wang Shugui muttered: This guy is so confused that he can't tell the truth. What on earth does he want to do? Could it be that he heard something? So he said casually:
"Pan Gong, I'm not talking about you. Why are you, a eunuch, spending so much money to find a brothel girl?"
"Prime Minister, this is your ignorance. You are a scholar. I won't argue with you. You haven't heard that the ancients said that women are "form and color". The so-called form and color are not seen with the eyes."
"So what if you can see it with your eyes? When you see good food, you should eat it. When you see a good woman, you should have sex! If you are an eater, you must have teeth. If you are a luster, you must have roots. These two things are not complete. Just looking at them is not enough.
It’s not for nothing,” Prime Minister Wang teased without thinking.
The little eunuch was at a loss for words, and couldn't help but secretly think: This old guy is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty, and he can lure people in with just a few words. Of course, the little eunuch cannot tell the truth, and it is impossible for him to say that he is a fake eunuch, even if it is known to everyone on the road.
But it couldn't come out of his mouth. After thinking about it, he said:
"Prime Minister, there is a kind of man who knows a certain kind of skill. In front of a woman, he is a man, and in front of a man, she is also a woman."
"That's Erweizi you're talking about," Wang Shugui said, shaking his head disdainfully.
The young eunuch said calmly: "A certain person went to a nunnery for a leisurely stroll one day and saw a large group of beautiful women coming in and out of the nunnery. He couldn't help but feel lustful."
"What's wrong?" The little eunuch's words touched Wang Shugui's itch.
"This man returned home and made some modifications, disguised himself as a woman, and went to that nunnery to ask for a monk. The master of the nunnery saw that this man looked like a man and not a woman. He was a little suspicious, so he ordered the old nun in the nunnery to examine him. The old nun did it.
He replied, "I don't know other things, but the female body is real."
"Did he sneak in?" Wang Shugui swallowed.
"After a few years of this, babies were delivered from time to time in the nunnery and people reported it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate sent people to secretly investigate and investigate. Finally, it was judged that there must be a ghost. On this day, the county magistrate personally went out and led a team.
Straight to the nunnery.”
"Have you found out?" Wang Shugui couldn't wait.
"The county magistrate gathered all the people in the nunnery, locked them in a big room, and asked them all to take off their pants. After checking them one by one, the female yamen officer in charge reported that there were no men."
"Still can't find out!" Wang Shugui's face showed concern.
The county magistrate frowned, thought for a moment, and then ordered the female prisoner in charge: "Take some butter and rub it on everyone's lower body, and then lead a dog to wipe them one by one."
"This is quite a clever idea," Wang Shugui interjected.
Not long after, the female official came to report: "Sir, I've brought out something!"
After the little eunuch said this, the two laughed loudly. Wang Shugui joked:
"Does Mr. Pan also have that person's skills?"
"Could the Prime Minister also bring a dog to help me Tiantian?" The little eunuch looked at Wang Shugui mischievously.
"Don't you dare?" Wang Shugui unknowingly got into the little eunuch's trap
"To lend money or not to lend it?"
"Borrow," Prime Minister Wang kept saying over and over again.
Only then did Wang Shugui realize that the reason why the young eunuch borrowed money was that he must have gotten some information from that dead girl Chun Ni. It was because the agency was so clever that it cost Qing Qing her life. He racked his brains to knock something out from the palace.
Wen Shichang couldn't let people run errands in vain for a thousand taels of gold, so he gave him two hundred taels as a dowry. Now he asked the young eunuch to defraud five hundred taels, leaving him with only one hundred taels left to count.
It was exactly the amount he paid for Chunni in the first place. He really sold his wife to whore, no loss, no gain, even income and expenditure. It was just a waste of work and a brick on the head.
