"How dare you!" Xiao Chen denied, "Everything I said is the truth."
"Then how do you think we should deal with this matter?" As soon as Murong Yueqiu saw his sincere look, she knew that he was lying!
"Treat it in a low-key manner. It's best to just pretend that nothing has happened...the stability of the palace is the most important thing!" Xiao Chen said with righteousness.
"Zifang, what do you think?" asked Zhang Zifang.
"Xiao Chen's words make sense, and this old slave thinks the same way." Zhang Zifang answered cleanly and neatly. This was all the result of the white jade Ruyi rod.
"Huh, is that all? I have to give her a little punishment so that she will remember...I'll give her a year's supply!" In fact, it's the same as not punishing her.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is kind!" Xiao Chen and Zhang Zifang sang in unison.
"Are all the people you work with on errands reliable?" Murong Yueqiu asked coldly.
"What I say to you is very reliable. I dare to guarantee them with my head, and I will never leak any information, except..." Xiao Chen stopped talking.
"Besides who?"
"Zhao Gongming! This man's mouth is not strong."
"Well, then you should know what to do, right?"
"The slave knows!"
"Then do it quickly."
"Hey! My dear, I dare to guarantee that my people will not reveal the news, but I am afraid that others will know about this matter. If they tell the truth..."
Xiao Chen means that it has nothing to do with me.
"I'll take your head too." Murong Yueqiu said calmly.
"Hey!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
Xiao Chen invited Zhuge Xiaosheng, Wei Yuntian, Wen Shanchang, and Zhao Gongming to his residence and gave a sumptuous banquet. It was a celebration banquet and a farewell banquet.
Farewell to Zhao Gongming.
"The queen is suspicious of Eunuch Zhao? How could it be possible? Eunuch Zhao is an old man in the palace, and he can talk nonsense? I, Wei Yuntian, dare to vouch for him!"
Wei Yuntian was quite happy at first, but when he heard Xiao Chen said that the queen wanted Zhao Gongming to die, his expression immediately turned gloomy.
Although we were not familiar with each other before, we did this together, which is called fighting side by side during a war. We have become friends of life and death.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wen Shanchang were also silent. Since the Queen is suspicious, Zhao Gongming must die and no one can save him.
"Haha, my old man has lived for more than sixty years, and he has already lived enough. It would not be a pity to die, but..." Zhao Gongming sighed.
It would be a great regret not to be able to see the crown prince return to his country with his own eyes.
In addition, he is not stupid. He vaguely feels that it may not be the queen who wants to kill him, but the prince who wants to kill him and silence him...
Otherwise, he could protect these few people, but why couldn't he protect me?
If so, there would be nothing to say.
"It's just that the situation outside is more complicated than in the palace. You, old man, have to be careful when you go out and don't let anyone cheat you of your pension money." Xiao Chen said, taking out a five thousand tael of silver and handing it over.
give him.
"Um...ah?" Zhao Gongming was surprised, Prince, what do you mean?
"Shanchang, when we were chatting before, you said that you could prepare a poison to make people temporarily fake death, but do you remember?" Xiao Chen looked at Wen Shanchang.
"Remember, remember! It turns out that father-in-law, you want to..." Wen Shanchang was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly agreed.
"Yes, I want to send Zhao Gongming out of the palace alive. I still need help from you two, Xiaosheng and Yuntian. But I will say something ugly beforehand. If this happens in the future, we will all lose our heads." Xiao Chen
road.
"It's too... too dangerous! I would rather die than harm you all!" Zhao Gongming mainly didn't want to harm the prince.
In fact, he was also confused. Now that Xiao Chen had said these words, it was impossible to take them back.
"What kind of brothers are we if we don't live and die together?" Wei Yuntian shouted.
"As I said, we will follow Brother Xiao from now on. We will do whatever you say, Brother Xiao." Zhuge Xiaosheng was still very calm and expressionless.
So we looked at the other two people together, what else could they say? They have all boarded your pirate ship, and now they can’t get off even if they think about it...
"Then listen to everything... thank you so much!" Only then did Zhao Gongming realize that he had misunderstood the prince, and he felt happy and ashamed at the same time.
"It's just that you should keep this money, Eunuch Xiao. To be honest, I have accumulated some wealth in the past few years..."
How many? It's not much, but there are always one hundred and eighty thousand, and this doesn't count the few shops I bought in the capital...
Damn it, you damn eunuch has been greedy for so much money!
You said you have no child and are greedy for so much money, what’s the point?
Zhao Gongming's thoughts were all about the former dynasty. He was greedy for so much money not for himself, but because he calculated that if loyal men from the previous dynasty rebelled against Zhou in the future, all the money could be used as funding.
Now of course everything will be left to the prince.
But the prince is even more greedy than him. He earned at least 200,000 silver just by helping Zhang Juer!
This is not counting the antique treasures that Zhang Baiwan paid special tribute to him...
Although it is a mind-boggling job, it is actually easy to do as long as you are brave enough.
After Zhao Gongming took the poison prepared by Wen Shanchang, he immediately fell to the ground and died.
He rolled it up with a piece of straw and sent it out of the palace gate. The Jinyi guards guarding the palace gate knew Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian, so they were confused during the inspection and did not take it too seriously.
Besides, this kind of thing is very common, and they are accustomed to it and don't take it seriously.
After Zhao Gongming left the palace, he did not leave the capital. He only changed his name, found someone to help him change his appearance, put on a fake beard, married more than a dozen young concubines, and became a wealthy man.
.
In this way, Xiao Chen would have his first support outside the palace. If something happened in the future, he would at least have a way out.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian returned to Jinyiwei to report on their duties, and Wen Shanchang also returned to Taiyuan Hospital.
Xiao Chen was very generous to his brothers. Not only did he give the three of them forty taels of gold each, but he also rewarded each of them with a thousand taels of silver.
The three of them will never be able to make this kind of money in their lifetime!
Not to mention whether I can become a successful person by following Xiao Chen, but I can at least achieve financial freedom first.
Now everyone can eat pork knuckles with every meal.
The brothers of Jinyiwei were very jealous of this. If we had known it was such a fat job, we would have done it! It's a pity that we took advantage of those two boys.
The doctors at the Imperial Hospital were indignant. How could such a good thing happen to a fool like Wen Shanchang?
I didn’t realize that this kid who usually kept silent actually climbed onto a high branch...
What kind of job did you do to earn so much money?
Having said that, I really didn’t expect that Little Eunuch Xiao would be so generous and interesting. I will have to be more flattering in the future...
Everyone was thinking about currying favor with Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen was thinking about currying favor with Huan'er.
He knew very well the importance of this little girl.
After serving the queen to bed in the evening, I followed her all the way to her residence, and saw that although the room was small, the furnishings were extremely luxurious and elegant.
