As soon as Shangguan Wuyou walked into the cafeteria, all the people eating looked at him and smiled.
Some shouted: "Mr. Shangguan, you look very bad!"
He didn't answer, but said to Aunt Niu who was cooking: "Make more rice and meat, and less vegetables."
Then he placed his own wooden dinner plate.
They deliberately shouted loudly: "You must have killed the pig!"
Shangguan Wuyou opened his eyes wide and said, "Why do you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air..."
"What innocence? Yesterday I saw you kill a black pig with my own eyes, and was hung up and beaten by His Majesty the King of Shu."
Shangguan Wuyou's face flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, and he argued: "I didn't kill that pig, that pig was sick to begin with, it was sick... If a pig is sick, it can be considered as my death."
Of?"
Then came the professional terminology that no one else understood, such as "up to 643", "centered pressure", etc., which caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere inside and outside the cafeteria was filled with joy.
Naturally, Shangguan Wuyou was not very happy with this meal. He dropped the plate and fled in a hurry.
He ran back to his dormitory in one breath and stood at the gate. He sighed: "I don't know when this kind of day will end... Fortunately, Du He kept his word and did not publicize this matter. Otherwise, the world would know about it."
I, Shangguan Wuyou, am here to groom pigs, wouldn’t I laugh it off, my ancestors, their children and grandchildren are unfilial and have insulted the craftsmanship of our ancestors!”
The craftsmanship of the Shangguan family's grooms has been passed down from generation to generation and has been top-notch in every dynasty. However, Shangguan Wuyou's generation has been reduced to the status of grooming pigs, and it is natural that they cannot accept it psychologically.
Fortunately, no one knew about this.
Shangguan Wuyou sighed in his heart again, and then walked into the courtyard.
In the huge yard, only he and his ten disciples lived. He owned three rooms, one for living, one for placing tools and the like, and one for receiving guests. In the entire pig farm, the conditions were considered to be the best.
Not bad.
As soon as he stepped across the threshold, Shangguan Wuyou saw ten disciples gathered around the stone table in the courtyard, whispering something.
He quietly stepped forward and heard the eldest disciple Cheng Kun say: "Junior brothers, now, news has come from Chang'an. Many father-in-laws in the palace want to fight against Master. They have united and are preparing to make this matter bigger and fight with the court.
Officials in the government have joined forces to read Du He's book in front of His Majesty. Du He has done such outrageous things that even the father-in-law can't stand it anymore."
Yang Xiao nodded: "Elder brother is right!"
The third junior brother Fan Ming said: "According to this, we just need to wait and see what happens. When this matter gets serious, all of us will be saved."
Yang Xiao agreed very much: "Third Junior Brother is right!"
Shangguan Wuyou pushed away the two disciples and asked, "Where did you get the news?"
When the disciples saw their master, they all stood up and saluted. Cheng Kun hurriedly said: "Master, now many people know about it."
Shangguan Wuyou suddenly felt a little stuffy in his heart: "How many people know about it?"
Yang Xiao said: "Master, everyone in Chang'an knows, and even the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi Province know that Master, you were kidnapped by Du He and brought to the Huxian pig farm to groom pigs."
"puff!"
Shangguan Wuyou suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
"Master!"
"Quick, save people!"
…
County government.
Du He frowned: "This matter is a bit strange."
Ma Zhou nodded: "The county magistrate is right. Although Shangguan Wuyou has a distinguished reputation, he is not a powerful person or a court official. This time, there was such a big storm, and so many officials in the court gathered to impeach him.
The county magistrate is really incredible. You must know that even Wei Shuyu, Wei Shuwan, Dai Jinyun and others went to Hu County to raise pigs, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu served as the captain of the pig catching team, but the courtiers did not make such a big move! And the strange thing is,
According to rumors, this incident was organized by the eunuchs in the palace, and it is very likely that Zhao Yang, the general manager of the palace, was involved. It is really incredible that a group of eunuchs can have such great energy?"
Du He smiled slightly: "It's not surprising. Some people do the beheading business, but no one touches the loss-making business. Eunuchs... these guys hiding in the dark, we can't underestimate them. First, they have
Money, the eunuchs live in the palace, close to the royal family, and there are usually many people who bribe them, so they have a lot of money. Now, these eunuchs are out in force, giving out money. Those guys in the court who think that money is like dirt,
Most of them will be tricked... Second, they have power. Eunuchs cannot be powerful, but they are the best eyes and ears. Whenever there is a disturbance in the palace, these ministers want to know about it in time. The best way is
Through these eunuchs... In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the eunuchs can get together with the officials in the court."
Ma Zhou's eyes widened: "The county magistrate's analysis is really penetrating. However, now that the opponent is powerful, we need to be careful and guard against it."
Du He stood up and said with a faint smile: "A group of dead eunuchs dare to go against this young master and rebel against them..."
At this time, Zhang Jian hurried over and said, "Master, Ximen Qing wants to see you!"
"Deputy General Manager Ximen Qing? This is our old friend. Please invite me quickly. It seems that General Manager Ximen has not forgotten me!" Du He said with a smile.
Not long after, Ximen Qing walked into the main hall.
As soon as they met, Ximen Qing said anxiously: "Greetings to the county magistrate, county magistrate, something bad is going on. The current situation in Chang'an is very unfavorable for the county magistrate. This servant is taking the risk to inform the county magistrate. You must make preparations in advance."
That’s good!”
Du He hurriedly grabbed the other person's hand: "Manager Ximen is really loyal. Don't worry, when I make money, I will definitely share it with you..."
"Ah? What did the county magistrate say?"
"Nothing... Manager Ximen, since you are here, I will give you a deal, what do you think?" Du He looked at the other party with a smile.
Manager Ximen asked in surprise: "I wonder what the transaction the county official is talking about is?"
Ximen Qing made a fortune following Du He. The most important thing is that Du He's ability to make money is recognized by the world. If he can get Du He's guidance, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money?
"You come with me!"
Ximen Qing hurriedly followed up.
After a while, Du He took Ximen Qing to an open space beside the original city wall.
This place has exceeded the boundary of the moat. Strictly speaking, it is outside the city and is still quite far away from the county seat.
Du He pointed at his feet and said, "Manager Ximen, this piece of land is extremely valuable and is made of gold."
Zhao Yang was overjoyed when he heard this.
Suddenly it took out a dagger, then lay on the ground with its buttocks and began to dig.
Du He was stunned: "Manager Ximen, what are you doing?"
Ximen Qing didn't even raise his head, "My lord, I'm digging for gold. My lord said that this land is made of gold, so the gold must be underneath. As long as I dig deep enough, the gold will definitely come out!"
