"The prince rewards you with money. This is because he values you. Brother Zhou, you must do better in the future. Don't let the prince down."
At the account room, the chief steward of Prince Qialu's palace was there, and he personally handed over a piece of Beijing silver. This Beijing silver was ten taels heavy, with a thin white background and frost on the edges. It was obviously official silver worth 98, and he also encouraged me a lot.
Manager Zhou's face suddenly broke into a smile, and he bowed and said yes: "What you are saying is that we all rely on the prince for food and receive the prince's grace. How can we not do our best?"
Steward Zhou did a good job on his errand this time. He not only gained money, but also gained the attention of the prince. Even the butler's attitude was much kinder, which really made people feel happy.
It would have been better if I hadn't heard those words just now.
He tossed the silver ingot in his hand, put it in his arms after a while, hummed a tune, and walked away somewhere else.
Walking in the corridor, you can still hear the sound of rain hitting the ceiling above your head, and the rustling of drizzle. Manager Zhou is feeling hot, thinking about going back later, finishing the work at hand first, and leaving the kitchen to himself at noon.
Make a few side dishes and boil a pot of wine, it will feel wonderful!
After turning around a corridor and walking a few steps, I noticed something seemed to be on the ground in front of me. Even on rainy days, there was a faint light, like silver.
Ben had just received a silver reward and was very sensitive to silver. Whenever something came into view, Manager Zhou's heart would skip a beat.
Oh, is it true that money is not enough?
I walked a few steps and arrived. I looked down and saw that the thing on the ground was not just a silver ingot!
"Hey, I'm so lucky! Did I lose my fortune today? That's why I got money one after another?"
He picked it up and put it in his hand. There were about five taels of silver ingots. They were both official silver and the silver ingots in his arms. The difference was only half the size. Who threw this?
Looking left and right, the corridor was empty. There was no one else nearby.
Although if you wait here, maybe someone will come back to look for it after a while, but this is five taels of silver, not copper coins and broken silver. This is a silver ingot. After picking it up and handing it over, Rao Gang received a reward of ten taels.
Yin, Manager Zhou was also very reluctant to part with him.
So this thought just flashed through his mind, and without even stopping, he picked it up and looked around, put the silver into his arms, and left happily.
What he didn't see was that not far behind him, a fox's head was poking out from the corridor, looking away.
"Chirp."
He is really greedy for money. The little fox looked at this man and couldn't help but sigh.
The little fox has completed several similar tasks, and there is no one who is not greedy for money. Although it does not know what kind of magic it is, if it is greedy for money and takes the money, it will often end badly.
"Chirp."
No matter, I have successfully completed the task this time. I will definitely ask Su Ziji to prepare more olives when I go back - hey, it's a pity that I haven't eaten them recently. This is too irregular. I'd better eat some chicken drumsticks!
"Huh? Something's wrong." The little fox stood upright and looked at the courtyard. In the haze, he saw a big snake with long horns swaying constantly, seemingly uneasy.
The thin threads entangled with it became even more troublesome. When we came in, there were only thin thread nets around and above Prince Lu's Mansion. But now when we went out, we found that there were also thin threads on the road, and the number was several times more.
Could it be that he discovered that a demon had come in and took precautions?
He didn't hear the dragon's roar, and he didn't know that King Lu and Gui Junxi were waiting for the demon to be caught. The little fox looked around in confusion.
"Chirp."
The shadow of half a piece of rosewood hangs down, and it can clearly see these thin lines. As long as you walk carefully, you won't get scratched.
On the way, he also met several groups of patrolling people. The leaders all had Taoist fluctuations on their bodies. Although they were not as powerful as the person who talked to King Lu before, it would be troublesome if they met head-on. Therefore, the time when they left was longer than when they came in.
It's also several times more.
Finally, after circling left and right, it reached the wall again. It easily slipped through the thin wire net and jumped onto the wall.
He glanced back, looked at it mockingly, jumped down, and ran away.
"Hey, I seem to have seen a civet cat?" A soldier from the patrol team said in surprise.
"...Don't talk nonsense, you didn't see anything." One of the captains of the team glanced at it and happened to see its jumping figure, and whispered.
The wild cats are not humans. They jumped out. How to catch them?
In the palace, the rules are strict. It's fine if you don't notice it. If you notice it and you can't catch it, you will be labeled as a loser and you will be punished.
This captain was originally a soldier in the army. I don't know how much blood he shed and how many lives he fought before he became a member of the Hundred Households. But he made this mistake and was almost beaten to death and demoted to the rank of captain!
From then on, I learned to be smart, and later I found an opportunity and moved to the palace as an errand. In this process, I saw too many colleagues who were so stupid, were beaten and demoted, and some were unlucky and even had their heads chopped off.
It is said that the same is true for civil servants.
He was not caught but reported to the police. Wouldn't the noble man be furious? He deserves to die!
The light rain was still falling. When I went back, the white light on the little fox was somehow weaker. The raindrops fell on the fur, making it run faster, almost becoming a line of light. Occasionally, there were passers-by walking in the rain, and it was just a blur in front of my eyes. It was already
Jumped over the high wall roof.
When we returned to Prince Dai's Mansion, we were in time for lunch. The smoke was rising and the fragrance was bursting. The little fox took a sip of water, walked lightly into the main courtyard, and followed the smell to the door of the study.
Use your paw to gently open the door of the study room and go in with ease.
"Chirp!" the little fox called softly. Although he saw it often, his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw Su Ziji in a light robe and looked so bright that it made people forget the world at first sight. "
"Come back?" Su Ziji, who was talking, motioned for it to jump up and turned to the wild Taoist: "You continue."
The little fox jumped lightly and arrived in front of Su Ziji. Su Ziji picked up the handkerchief and wiped the water on its fur. He said it was strange that even though it came back from the rain, it hardly touched the water. Then he wiped the water from its fur.
I wiped my feet and there was a little mud on them.
The wild Taoist glanced at the little fox and said, "My lord, Luo Jiang's mother's errand has been completed."
"Three days ago, the earth dragon turned over, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people. I immediately sent people to take action, using similar corpses to create the illusion that they were crushed to death. The people have been rescued."
"The Imperial City Division responded quickly. I felt that the bloody face was a bit suspicious, so I investigated nearby."
"I sent people to deal with it, and now it has finally calmed down a bit. I can report it to the lord."
Luo Jiang's mother is in the hands of the senior officials of the Imperial City Division. Once her betrayal is revealed, her mother will immediately die tragically. This is something Luo Jiang will never allow to happen.
But now, her mother has won.
"The one who knows me is Mr. Lu." Su Ziji was really satisfied. After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Sooner or later, the Imperial City Secretary will convey this news to Luo Jiang."
"Pay attention to the people she comes into contact with. If you find someone who comes into contact with her and her face changes drastically and her demeanor changes, it means that this person is from the Imperial City Division."
"Record this person and see if we know whether he is on the list or not. It is not too late to give her a surprise. Otherwise, if she knows in advance, she may expose her flaws in front of this person."
"Yes, I'll retire then." The wild Taoist glanced at the little fox again, stood up and said.
