When Wu Zhi looked at the other party's 'demeanor', he couldn't help but thought to himself.
Did the old man not wake up, or did he drink too much?
This level of swaying when walking is a bit excessive.
"This old man, may I ask who you are..."
The old man said as he pulled him into the room.
"I am the manager here, I am tall and talented!"
"Looking at your age, just call me Uncle Gao."
The house is dark.
In the middle, there is a large bed.
Two up and two down, plus the middle one, there are five nooses in total.
There are two wide cloths hanging on the left and right sides of the big bed, one black and one white, completely covering the big bed.
Next to the big bed, there is a shelf about one meter long, with a rosewood-colored rectangular box on it, and next to it are some gauze and the like.
"Old man, I was a little drunk today, how about we start again tomorrow."
After Gao Youcai finished speaking, he was ready to leave.
"Uncle Gao, I don't know why, but I felt very friendly as soon as I saw you. You must be very boring living here alone, so how about I chat with you."
Wu Zhi knew that this might be an opportunity for him. If he grasped it, he might be able to escape.
"Okay, come with me."
Gao Youcai waved to him.
…
Gao Youcai took Wu Zhi to a small bamboo house.
Gao Youcai smiled at Wu Zhi.
"Boy, do you know how to drink?
How about having some with me?"
Wu Zhi at this moment would certainly not refuse.
So the two of them drank one glass at a time.
Gradually, I talked more and more.
Through the chat, Wu Zhi also found out why he was allowed to do this despite his age.
This old man turned out to be Gao Qiu's seventh uncle.
I heard that Gao Qiu was prosperous in the capital, so I came here to join him.
The most annoying thing for wealthy people is when poor relatives come to visit.
But I couldn't drive him away, so I helped him get such a job.
Gao Youcai used to be a pig butcher in his hometown.
So he entered this door very quickly.
I didn't expect that this would last for decades.
Since the person behind him was Gao Qiu, no one dared to drive him away even though he was so old.
Wu Zhi pointed at Gao Youcai excitedly.
"Uncle Gao, I have finally remembered it. The expression on your face when you spoke just now looks very much like my grandpa!"
At this time, Wu Zhi's head twitched, and he suddenly remembered the lines in Uncle Zhao's sketch, so he said it smoothly.
"When my grandpa was leaving, the expression you had just now was exactly the same!"
At this moment, Gao Youcai was suddenly stunned. What did this kid mean by saying this?
"ah?
What?"
Wu Zhi quickly changed his mind.
"No, no, I made a mistake. What I meant is that when I see you, I think of my grandpa."
Gao Youcai sighed and burst into tears.
"Hey, my children at home despise me, and they come here to live with relatives, but they also look down on me. Hey... old man, I have wasted my ninety and sixty years!"
Later, Gao Youcai asked Wu Zhi why he wanted to be a eunuch in the palace.
And when Wu Zhi mentioned that he was forced by the officials to be a eunuch, Gao Youcai suddenly cursed.
Gao Youcai was trembling all over, and under the influence of alcohol, he scolded Zhao Ji for being ungrateful.
"That bastard, after you helped him so much, he asked you to cut off your descendants. How can there be such a reason in the world!"
"I'm in charge of this matter. As long as I'm here, I will never let you be a eunuch."
"I'm already so old, and I probably don't have a few more years to live. I think it's worth it to be able to save a young person like you! Hahaha."
Gao Youcai drank a swig and laughed heartily.
Wu Zhi was so excited that he bowed his head to the end.
"Thank you, old gentleman, for saving me."
Gao Youcai smiled kindly.
"Hey, I've forgotten how many years no one has spoken to me."
"This is the first time in so many years that I've had so much fun drinking. Thank you, young man."
…
When Tong Guan informed his godson Tong Chenglin about the fact that Wu Zhi was about to become an eunuch.
Tong Chenglin first looked at Tong Guan in disbelief, and then, a huge joy filled his heart.
It almost made him cry with joy.
After Tong Chenglin said goodbye to Tong Guan in a hurry, he rushed out of the Tong Mansion with more than ten guards and went straight to Wu Zhi's house with excitement on his face.
When he thought that Pan Jinlian would become the plaything in his palm soon, Tong Chenglin's heart jumped with excitement.
Although Tong Mansion is only a quarter of an hour away from Wu Zhi's residence.
But Tong Chenglin thought of more than a dozen ways to torture Pan Jinlian in this quarter of an hour.
When Tong Chenglin and the guards hurried to the door of Wu Zhi's house.
One of the guards wanted to knock on the door, but was pushed away by Tong Chenglin.
"That little bastard is currently being tortured in the palace. In addition to his wife, there are only two pretty maids left in his house."
"Knock on what door?
is it necessary?"
As soon as Tong Chenglin finished speaking, he stepped forward and kicked open the door of Wu Zhi's house.
After a few quick steps, he rushed into the hall.
"Little lady, little lady?"
"Where are you? Come out quickly, little lady!"
Tong Chenglin was in the hall, shouting loudly for a long time, but he didn't see anyone.
He couldn't help but his face darkened and he waved his hand.
"Catch all the three girls in this house for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so guards headed towards the backyard like wolves and tigers.
In an instant, those people turned Wu Zhi's small courtyard into a mess.
But these guards, after searching for a long time, still couldn't find anyone.
At this moment, Tong Chenglin was looking at the darkening sky outside the door, feeling very angry in his heart.
Originally, he thought that he would definitely get his wish today.
But unexpectedly, he missed the opportunity.
Finally, after Tong Chenglin vented his temper in the hall for a while, he led his guards back angrily.
…
The next day, Gao Youcai took Wu Zhi to the cleansing room and warned him in his ears.
"You just lie here during the day."
"Go back to my house in the evening and let's drink and chat together."
"You can leave here in half a month."
Wu Zhi had no objection to what the old man said.
After all, this matter is no longer his personal matter.
If exposed, not only would Wu Zhi be charged with deceiving the emperor, but Gao Youcai would also be severely punished.
Although Wu Zhi is still a little worried about Pan Jinlian.
But now he has no chance to go out, so he can only wait quietly.
