In such a dilapidated courtyard, even the window panels were not ventilated. Feng Neishi huddled in the corner and shivered with cold, but he saw Eunuch Cao sitting down without any hesitation.
The two strong eunuchs actually brought a clean-looking, new-looking Taishi chair, filled it with thick cushions, and even set up a footrest.
Eunuch Cao was pleased with himself and looked at Waiter Feng with a smile on his face.
"Think about it slowly," he said. "The Zajia family is very curious about what story you can tell the Zajia family."
Waiter Feng shivered all over.
Although it was just a question, but before Eunuch Cao used any means, the fear in his heart began to surge.
Avoiding Eunuch Cao's gaze, Feng's wife lowered her head and recalled her "experience".
Of course he remembered his experience.
Everyone has their own background, let alone in a place like the palace. Whoever they followed and who they served are all recorded in the book, and there is evidence to rely on.
He actually worked in many places before being transferred to the East Palace.
When he first entered the palace, he learned the rules from an old eunuch who had stepped back from Concubine Wen. The old eunuch praised him for being smart and smart. He studied for half a year and recommended him to work in the palace of Princess Derong.
I started sweeping the back garden and worked there for almost three years. Then I returned to the inner court and was assigned various jobs here and there, none of which were sustainable.
Until five years ago, he was assigned to Cuihua Palace to manage the small kitchen of the imperial concubine.
After doing this for almost four years, Cuihua Palace released a group of older palace maids and also replaced several eunuchs in charge.
In another month, Feng's servant was transferred out of Cuihua Palace and spent some time in the Imperial Garden. It was not until the East Palace changed hands that he was transferred to the prince.
Waiter Feng went through it in his mind.
These are indeed things he has learned through hard work over the years. I think Eunuch Cao has already understood them clearly.
But in his experience, he actually had nothing to do with his master, and he couldn't piece it together with his master.
In other words, there are so many things that can be mined from his experience, and just a few random words from him are enough to make the people who check him dizzy.
How could the person who was sent by the master to the prince be able to "follow the clues" based on experience alone?
Of course, fear is still fear.
If he can't catch up to his master, it doesn't mean that his wife Feng can escape unscathed.
Eunuch Cao, despite his smiling face, actually eats people without spitting out their bones.
"You, you confused my question," Feng Neishi shrank his neck and smiled to please, "I don't understand what you mean."
Eunuch Cao patiently said: "If you want to climb up, it is reasonable to please His Highness, but it is not to sow discord.
You can scold Eunuch Guo and other eunuchs in front of His Highness. As long as you can catch their tails, you can step on those who are traveling with you. Even if you can't catch them, it's nonsense. It's not uncommon to frame your colleagues.
thing.
But you chose the auxiliary duke and the princess. Why, if the duke doesn't follow His Highness to observe the government, you will be able to be the duke in the future?
Then you have lost two ounces of meat, and you are still dreaming about spring and autumn?
People die for money, birds die for food, and there is no profit, so what are you trying to do?
After being a eunuch for so many years, you can’t even understand this truth, right?”
Waiter Feng's throat rolled.
Eunuch Cao touched the ring on his hand: "The Zajia really don't like to do anything, but the Zajia's patience is limited. The Holy Spirit is still waiting for the Zajia to serve. If it takes too long, the Zajia will not be able to explain."
Waiter Feng struggled to free himself from the rope, not to untie it, but to adjust his posture and kneel down obediently.
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao used to work in Cuihua Palace..." He lowered his head, his forehead almost touching the ground, "You also know that the Holy One only goes to Cuihua Palace more often when he is depressed.
I don't want to cause discord between His Highness and the Duke, but I just want to have some minor conflicts so that His Majesty can pay more attention to the Imperial Concubine.
The empress is kind-hearted and has no children. She is very kind to the servants in the palace, and I want to repay her..."
Eunuch Cao laughed when he heard this.
The waiter Feng pretended that he could not hear the sarcasm in Eunuch Cao's laughter, and kept saying: "What I said is the truth, I only do it for the imperial concubine..."
Eunuch Cao interrupted him: "Master Chang, does he know that you are so filial to her?"
Master Chang is kind and kind, these words are absolutely true.
This is true when the Holy Master becomes more depressed, the more he misses Master Chang.
But Eunuch Cao didn't believe that Master Chang wanted this kind of reward.
Master Chang wishes that there would be fewer things to do. What did the princess say today?
"No wonder the imperial concubine would rather thank guests behind closed doors than find anyone to hang her up."
Tsk!
Waiter Feng bit the bullet and said, "I don't want your Majesty to know my thoughts."
Eunuch Cao sighed.
Okay, push the matter to Cuihua Palace, and leave the imperial concubine clean. It is obvious that "I can be arrested, but my path must be cleaner." But whose path is clean?
"The Zajia admire you very much." Mr. Cao said impartially.
Waiter Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the next sentence.
"I admire your innocence."
These words were like a bucket of ice water, pouring a chill on his heart in the cold winter months.
He understood that Eunuch Cao did not believe in his "naivety" for the imperial concubine, but was mocking him for thinking that he could get through with such a lie.
Coolness returns to coolness, even Feng’s wife can accept it.
Since Eunuch Cao didn't believe that he was working for the imperial concubine, he could only guess at Princess Derong, Concubine Wen, or other people he had contact with in the palace.
Let Eunuch Cao guess slowly.
It would be nice if he killed Cuihua Palace.
Eunuch Cao adjusted his sitting posture and his voice became completely cold.
"The steward of Cuihua Palace has his own tricks. You are just a eunuch working in a small kitchen. You don't even have a chance to show up in front of Master Chang. You have been working hard for almost four years, but you were suddenly transferred. It is the new eunuch Jin Eunuch.
I don’t like you."
Feng Neishi said: "Yes, Eunuch Jin doesn't like young ones."
"In the past, there were so many places in the palace, but they didn't last long. The one that took longer was the residence of Princess Derong."
"Perhaps the younger one is not very smart, and his work is not thorough enough, so he is dispensable. Therefore, once there is a transfer, the manager will transfer the younger one."
Eunuch Cao asked: "So, the Za family is very curious. They have all been transferred to the eldest princess's mansion. Why can you be transferred back to the palace? Who gave you the chance?"
Waiter Feng's body stiffened for a moment.
Eunuch Cao saw this and continued: "Not very smart or thoughtful enough? A young eunuch who just entered the palace and knew nothing could win over the old eunuch who retired from Princess Wen's palace in less than half a year. You
Have you been able to go back as you have lived for so many years?"
After that, Eunuch Cao never gave Feng a chance to speak again.
"The Za family asked Eunuch Jin. Eunuch Jin was deeply impressed by you. Rather than saying that he deliberately made things difficult for you, it's better to say that you didn't intend to stay in Cuihua Palace in the first place."
"It's not easy to please people, but it's actually quite easy to make people feel offended but can't explain why."
"You have the ability to adjust so many places without letting the supervisors find any obvious mistakes or clues."
"The old eunuch died of illness a few years ago, but it was not without testimony. For the last half of the year, he kept saying that among the many young eunuchs he had taught, Feng Chang was the most clever, able to understand everything, and served others clearly."
"What do you mean by being able to master it with just a few clicks? You can learn such important rules in the palace faster than anyone else. You don't even need anyone to teach you carefully. You can understand them a lot just by looking at them."
"Then are you a quick learner, or have you already mastered it?"
"Yongan people?"
"In Yong'an, a child who is so poor that he is sent to the palace as a eunuch can speak the capital dialect right after he is clean?"
"The old eunuch retired because his hearing has failed. If you don't know the Beijing dialect, he won't give you a look. He won't teach a child who speaks the local dialect."
"Where did you learn the rules before you purified yourself? Who did you learn the capital dialect from?"
Feng Neishi was shaking like a sieve.
He knew that Eunuch Cao was powerful, and he thought that there were enough "clues" in his experience for Eunuch Cao to sift through. He thought about how much he could consume Eunuch Cao's time.
Even if he loses his life in the end, at least he will not reveal his master's identity or even muddy the water.
If he falls into the hands of Eunuch Cao, he will die, and if the chess piece is caught by its tail, it will die, so he wants to die more loyally.
If he hadn't been cultivated by his master for so many years, how could he be where he is today?
But Chamberlain Feng didn't expect that Eunuch Cao would go past so many clues and get to the center.
He is worthy of being a chief steward and someone who has been working hard in the palace for decades.
Eunuch Cao may not be in control of other matters, but he knows the status of the named chamberlains.
Eunuch Cao didn't understand him, but he knew Eunuch Jin and the old eunuch...
Waiter Feng bit his lower lip tightly, not daring to say another word, for fear that his careless words would cause more problems.
Eunuch Cao stood up, walked to Feng's wife, bent down, and reached out to pinch his chin: "Ten years ago, including a few years outside the palace, who do you think is behind you who can get through the miscellaneous family?"
?
Yong'an, Yong'an is not that far from Jiangzhou City.
Was it Eunuch Ge or Wang Liu who followed you back then? It couldn't be Li Mi, right?"
Waiter Feng's breathing froze.
"Eunuch Ge died nine years ago, and Li Mi died a few years ago. He even gave his son to someone else. How could he have the energy and energy to care about the trouble you caused in the palace," Eunuch Cao said word by word, "Only
The king has been king for six years. To put it another way, only the emperor, who has been obsessed with the king for six years, has a way to transfer you from the eldest princess's palace to the palace, let you work in Cuihua Palace, and then transfer you to the East Palace. Do you think so?
?”
Housekeeper Feng didn't dare to say anything, and couldn't say anything.
"Do you think your experiences are worth the Zajia's patience with you?" Eunuch Cao laughed, his eyes particularly sharp, "Do you know what Wang said when he fell into the hands of the Zajia in the sixth year? You are better than
Does Wang Sixian have backbone?
Zajia would like to hear whether what you and Wang Liuliu said is correct.
Don't think about seeking death. If you don't believe it, you can actually go through all the things that Wang couldn't do in six years. Someone will look after you, and it won't be a hassle for the family.
Think about it slowly, the Za family will go to serve the saint first."
After saying that, Eunuch Cao shook off Feng's wife, took out his handkerchief and wiped his fingers.
After handing the person over to the two stout eunuchs, Eunuch Cao hurried to the imperial study.
I have also checked the personnel transferred to the palace before, but they tend to be superficial, their experience is suitable, and there are no obvious problems, so they pass the test.
Today, when I took a closer look, I got a taste of it.
Really...
The people from Wang Sixian's group were hiding around His Highness the Crown Prince and stirring up trouble. Hehe, he didn't even know how to explain it to His Majesty.
In the cold wind, Cheng Xi trotted all the way. He ran so fast that he staggered and almost tripped.
He quickly stabilized himself and adjusted his pounding heartbeat before moving forward again and knocking on the door.
When he arrived in front of his master, he bowed respectfully.
Jin Guiren was reading a book and looked up at him: "Do you understand? What did Feng Chang say?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Cheng Xi looked troubled.
Jin Guiren couldn't help but frown.
Subconsciously, he noticed that things had changed.
Or maybe there has been so much bad news lately that as soon as Cheng Xi made such an expression, he knew something was up.
"Feng Chang doesn't understand the inside story? He was led around by the nose, but he doesn't know where he got involved by Xu Jian? He was all sold, and he still can't figure out the money?" Jin Guiren asked in a deep voice.
Cheng Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Our people haven't seen Feng Chang yet. After Eunuch Cao returned to the palace from Fu Guogong's mansion, he first went to the Imperial Study Room to recover, and then went to the East Palace to take Feng Chang away."
Jin Guiren put down the book.
Cheng Xi said: "I don't know where Eunuch Cao took me, and I don't know what went wrong..."
Jin Guiren was extremely dissatisfied with these two "I don't know".
The incident in the paddock really caught him by surprise.
It happened so suddenly, it was just an accident at first, but the "Blind Bear" appeared behind him, and the situation changed instantly, catching him by surprise.
Xu Jian's sudden change caused him to move slowly and step by step slowly.
Now, Feng Chang fell into the hands of Eunuch Cao.
This chess piece, this chess piece that he had hidden for so many years, was about to become useless.
Although there were too many "stories" about Feng Chang, and Eunuch Cao had to investigate a lot, and could not easily track him down, the person he had finally placed around Li Shao was gone.
If you want to arrange another capable person, you have to go through a lot of troubles to hide it from the turbulent Eunuch Cao and the Holy One.
Jin Guiren stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
How was Feng Chang exposed?
In a hurry, the prince confessed him? Did Feng Chang prompt Xu Jian to pretend to be injured?
His intuition told him that if he was not the prince, he would most likely be inseparable from Xu Jian.
Right.
The drama in the paddock was so lively, and Xu Jian fought with the blind bear in the snow all day long, and Xu Jian also gave up.
How can you be willing to get only a little reward for working so hard?
etc……
A thought came into his mind, and Jin Guiren's eyes suddenly darkened.
If Xu Jian dominated the excitement in the paddock, then he had already known that the prince suspected him of pretending to be injured. Then, was the few steps he ran in Zhangping Garden intentional?
Xu Jian was performing in Zhangping Garden, so what if he scaled the courtyard wall of Uncle Chengyi’s house before getting married?
He did turn it over. Did he turn it over on purpose to show it to those who were following him?!
In this way, it was equivalent to that from that time on, all his actions were within Xu Jian's sight, and they were used to plot against him.
