"Yes, the two of them are working in the cleaning department now." As soon as Fu Taigang finished speaking, Zhang Quan stood up and sneered: "Come on, let's go take a look."
"Yes." A strange smile appeared on Fu Tai's face, and he accompanied Zhang Quan to the cleaning area. Apart from Xin Zheku and Jingjun, this place has the most hardship. Generally, those who work here are those who have committed crimes.
Palace people, apart from hard work every day, only have three hours of rest a day.
Not long after Zhang Quan stepped into the cleaning area, the chief eunuch there hurriedly came out and said with a smile on his face: "My dear, please say hello to the manager. Good luck to the manager!" After he straightened up, he said again: "What orders does the manager have?
, just ask someone to summon you, why bother you to come here in person?"
This is the reality. When you are down and out, everyone is eager to step on you, and when you stand up and become superior, the same people who originally stepped on you are rushing to curry favor with you.
Zhang Quan smiled and said, "It's nothing. We just heard that Zheng Jiu and Xiao Chengzi are working under you now, so we came here to take a look."
The leader eunuch said flatteringly: "The manager is really thoughtful, I will go and call them here."
After a while, two hunched figures came to Zhang Quan. Seeing them standing there in a daze, the chief eunuch hurriedly scolded: "What are you doing standing there? Don't hurry up and salute the manager."
Zhang Quan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, our family has known them for more than a day or two. There is no need to be so outspoken. You can go down and do things."
After the leader eunuch left, Zhang Quan walked around the two of them and said: "A few days ago, Eunuch Zheng and Eunuch Cheng were very proud and happy. How come they have fallen to this point today? Look at this."
Where have the coarse linen clothes and those clothes made of silk and satin gone?”
Fu Tai said deliberately: "Manager, have you forgotten? They are guilty now. If the emperor hadn't been magnanimous, they would have gone to Guimen Pass to report, just like Zhou Quan."
Zhang Quan pretended to be enlightened and said: "Yeah, how could our family forget this? Zhou Quan committed chaos and it would be fine for him to die, but he has also implicated you. It's really pitiful."
Zheng Jiu said expressionlessly: "Our affairs don't need to be bothered by the general manager!"
Zhang Quan frowned, pulled Zheng Jiu's pigtails hard, and said in a cold voice: "You blind thing, do you think this is still the time when Zhou Quan is the general manager? How dare you speak to me like this? Do you want to die?!"
His hair was pulled by Zhang Quan as if it was about to be torn off along with his scalp. Zheng Jiu endured the pain and said, "Your Majesty has graciously spared the death penalty for both of us. By saying this, does Mr. Zhang want to disobey the holy order?" After a pause, he said
He added: "And as far as I know, you are still just the deputy general manager, but you are always called the 'director-general'. Do you really think that you are the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Haha, with your virtue, I am afraid you will never be able to be the general manager in this life."
rise!"
Zhang Quan's face turned green and white after being talked about. After a while, Fang sharply said: "Okay, I haven't seen you for a while. He is still as sharp-tongued and unforgiving as before. But Zheng Jiu, there is no one now."
If I don’t protect you anymore, I’ll be careful if your fangs are pulled out one by one!”
Seeing him pulling down Xiao Zhengzi's braid, Xiao Chengzi hurriedly said: "Don't forget, the Queen is still here, so you can't be presumptuous!"
"Empress?" Zhang Quan did not show any fear at his words. Instead, he tightened his hand again and whispered: "She has no time to take care of herself now, so she has no time to care about you two!"
Zheng Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "If you have the ability, kill both of us. Then it will be up to you whether the emperor will spare you or not."
Zhang Quan smiled "Jie Jie", let go of Zheng Jiu's braids and clapped his hands: "Just as Eunuch Zheng said, the emperor has spared you, how dare I, a young deputy general manager, take your lives, but do you have any
I have heard a word called...life is worse than death!"
Xiao Chengzi heard that he had bad intentions and said warily: "What do you want?"
"You will understand soon." After saying this, Zhang Quan winked at Fu Tai, who nodded knowingly, then walked to the leader eunuch not far away and stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
Then there was a soft whisper in his ear
After saying this, the latter nodded repeatedly, clutched the money in his hand and walked to Zhang Quan, with a flattering expression on his face: "Don't worry, manager, I will take good care of Zheng Jiu and Xiao Chengzi." He deliberately emphasized the word "care".
, obviously with bad intentions.
Zhang Quan said with satisfaction: "Okay, then our family will entrust the two of them to you."
The chief eunuch nodded repeatedly. After Zhang Quan left, his smiling face that looked like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "What are you still waiting for? Do you want our family to enshrine you two as Bodhisattvas?"
"
"We are going to do something right now." Zheng Jiu said in a low voice. Before he could leave, the leader eunuch said: "You two go get water and fill the copper vat in the palace."
Xiao Chengzi was stunned and blurted out: "We are not responsible for those copper vats."
The chief eunuch glared and said, "What's wrong? I didn't arrange it for you before, so you don't have to do it?"
"I dare not, but there are 308 copper vats in the palace. Just the two of us will not be able to fill them until tomorrow. Can we let others go with us?"
The leader eunuch sneered and said: "How about sending a few more people to pinch your shoulders, beat your legs, and serve you tea and water?" Before they could say anything, he said with a long face: "Go as long as you are told. Why are you like this?"
What nonsense, if you don’t fill up the copper vat before dark, you won’t be able to eat.”
Xiao Chengzi wanted to say more, but was pulled away by Zheng Jiu. After carrying a bucket out of the cleaning place, Xiao Chengzi said angrily: "Brother Zheng, there are three hundred and eight people. Normally, it takes at least ten people to fetch water. Now we have to
How could the two of us fill the bottle before dark? He clearly took advantage of Zhang Quan and deliberately made things difficult for us. Why didn’t he let me argue with him?”
"Is the theory useful?" Zheng Jiu shook his head and said: "It's useless. He is clearly trying to make things difficult for us. If he continues to talk, it will only give him more reasons to make things difficult for us. The current situation...don't you understand?"
"I know that everything is different from before, and I also know that it is not easy for us to survive, but...that villain Zhang Quan is clearly taking the opportunity to take revenge. I can't swallow this tone no matter how much I think about it! Let me tell you, in the end,
The damn person is him and that Qiao Yaner and Ding
Mo, if it weren't for them, how could the manager..." At this point, Xiao Chengzi couldn't help but shed tears. Seeing him like this, Zheng Jiu felt uncomfortable. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "No matter how unbearable it is,
We have to endure it, so that we can have a chance to avenge the manager!"
Xiao Chengzi wiped away the tears on his face and said hesitantly: "Brother Zheng, do you think we can really avenge the manager? After all, we are like this now..."
