Chapter 215 Before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down at home.
"Mr. Zhang, the one named Zhidong is also Wu Meiren's slave. Should he be released together?"
"Huh? Wu Meiren also has a palace maid? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Let it go, let it go, let it go! Hiss~" Zhang Defa lay on the bed and dried his buttocks. Hearing this, he became excited, and suddenly the wound was affected, and he gasped in pain.
When Zhichun was carrying a basket and going out of Tingli courtyard to get the meat, he happened to meet two eunuchs escorting Liu Sanzi back, with Zhidong following behind obediently.
Liu Sanzi expressed his grievances with runny noses and tears: "That bag of silver really does not belong to the slave. I don't know why it is in the slave's place. My father-in-law needs to be aware of it."
"If I want to leave Tingliyuan, I will ask Master Wu and get permission before leaving. But let me steal money, and even if I have ten cowards, I won't dare..."
Zhichun's face was grim, and he immediately stopped going to get the meat and hurried back to the West Side Hall to report to Lihua.
Soon Liu Sanzi and Zhidong were brought back to the West Side Hall.
The two eunuchs kicked Liu Sanzi to the ground, presented him with two bags of silver, and said to Lihua: "My lord Wu, Eunuch Zhang personally ordered us to hand over this slave with double-mindedness to your disposal. This is what we found last night."
Please take a look at the two bags of silver as evidence."
"Thank you Eunuch Zhang for me." Lihua smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Zhichun..."
Knowing that spring was coming, he first stepped forward to take the two bags of silver, put them on the table next to him without ordering them, and then took out two purses to prepare rewards.
But this gesture of goodwill came too late. She remembered how Zhang Defa treated her, and she also remembered the special "preferential treatment" Zhichun received last night.
In his opinion, Tingliyuan has bad feng shui and almost suffered a disaster within a few months of arriving. It is not a good place.
You can't find such a girl even with a lantern!
Lihua praised: "The people under Eunuch Zhang are indeed noble and upright."
"Huh? Why?" Lihua asked.
The two eunuchs refused to accept her, and when the matter was done, they simply left.
Zhidong knelt down beside Liu Sanzi automatically and waited for the two eunuchs to leave before saying, "Master, are you okay?"
After a while, Zhidong kowtowed and resolutely chose to stay: "Master, in the past, no one cared where my slave was, but in Tingliyuan, both you and Sister Zhichun have gone out of their way for your slave. If I don't leave, if there is someone else in the future,
With two hearts, this slave will be killed first."
Otherwise, Lihua didn't finish what she said later, but Liu Sanzi understood the chill in her words, and Zhidong also understood it.
She can understand people who feel that there is no future in Tingliyuan and want to move to higher places.
Lihua said with a smile: "We are all innocent, so how could anything happen? I knew spring, helped Zhidong get up, and let Eunuch Liu go."
This is Lihua's honest truth. Her expectations for Liu Sanzi were extremely low. He was not bribed to frame her, which already exceeded her expectations.
Lihua's smile did not change: "You also have to think about it. You still have a choice now. If you choose to leave, the past will be wiped out and there will still be money to take. There will be no consequences."
Zhichun came over with the two bags of silver and showed them to Liu Sanzi and Zhidong.
But it is a great advantage for Lihua. This shows that Zhidong cannot arouse the wariness of others and is not a threat in the eyes of others.
The Criminal Division, Zhang Defa and others only focused on interrogating Liu Sanzi and Zhichun, and almost ignored Zhidong.
Lihua stood up and walked to Liu Sanzi's side, and continued condescendingly: "Now I'll give you two choices. One is to stay in Tingli Courtyard, and the other is to go to where you plan to work. I will also reward you with a bag of silver.
Our friendship is that of master and servant.”
When Liu Sanzi saw that Lihua was unharmed, his eyes were full of surprise, and when he saw that his life had been handed over to Lihua, he immediately became quiet and his eyes rolled around.
Zhichun was afraid that he would offend Lihua, so she tripped her leg. Liu Sanzi said "ouch" and fell to the ground.
The palace became quiet again.
Zhichun helped him up as instructed and went to untie Liu Sanzi, when he gave him a fierce look.
Lihua got straight to the point: "I heard that Eunuch Liu has found another job. I don't blame you for this. On the contrary, I thank you for not doing other unnecessary things."
As for Liu Sanzi, after he discovered that what Lihua said was true, of course he took the silver and left happily.
Zhidong was stunned, and quickly knelt down and shook his head: "Master, I don't want to leave. I want to stay in Tingli Courtyard."
Lihua and Zhichun looked at each other and smiled a little.
Liu Sanzi thought it was Lihua testing him, and cried like a dog chewing shit: "I was confused for a moment, please forgive me. I will stay in Tingliyuan to serve you, and I will not go anywhere."
The most important thing is that it is inconspicuous and has no sense of existence, so it is easy to be ignored.
The two of them had been observing this girl Zhidong for a long time. She was someone who repaid her kindness and had a loyal personality, but she was not stupid.
When he was let go, he immediately wailed and rushed over: "Master, it's so good to see you. I thought I would never see you again..."
She turned around and said: "Zhidong, the same goes for you. I'm afraid life in Tingliyuan will not be very peaceful from now on. If you want to leave at this time, I won't blame you. In addition to rewarding you with a bag of silver, I will also try to help you."
Find a decent job."
Lihua listened to her talk about these experiences and sighed. There are such strange people in this world, and even the interrogation can be ignored to the end.
Take this interrogation as an example. Zhidong is honest and honest, and his words come across as honest and inconspicuous. He is not the focus of the interrogation.
Moreover, following Wu Meiren doesn't seem like a promising future, and besides, no matter how hard or tired you are after staying, you won't be able to leave again.
Zhidong was taken to the back of Jinghong Palace and locked in a small room. Only a person in charge of the punishment department asked him a few questions. He was kept locked away and no one cared about him again until he was released today.
Lihua was very satisfied and felt that her luck was not too bad. Of the three people who were assigned to the palace for the first time, it was worth it if she could keep one that could be used.
If used properly, it can unleash huge potential. The most important thing is to be loyal and not stupid.
At this point, Lihua's voice suddenly turned cold, and her words were filled with murderous intent: "If you choose to stay, you will never have second thoughts in the future, even if you have thoughts, otherwise..."
This was not a good thing for Zhidong herself in the past, and she suffered a lot of unfair treatment because of it. For example, she was assigned to Tingliyuan and was left behind, and was thrown to her when she suddenly remembered.
Zhidong murmured for a long time, and then said honestly: "You will have meat to eat, and the slaves next to you can't tell."
Liu Sanzi's heart moved slightly, thinking, isn't this a test?
What's more, Liu Sanzi disturbed Xiao Junzi's sight, which invisibly made a meritorious deed.
So it is not difficult to choose the right Liu Sanzi.
He left happily, and he sincerely praised Lihua for his kindness. He was glad that his service was not in vain, and he had earned such a large amount of money in a few months.
In the long years that followed, Liu Sanzi regretted this choice all the time. He was so heart-burning with regret that he beat the wall with hatred.
A long, long time later, he wished countless times that he could turn back time and choose him again. He always dreamed that if he chose to stay, would the future position of the Queen's father-in-law be his?
