Chapter 977 I am so angry that I cannot get what I ask for.
After hearing this, Tong Guan immediately frowned and sighed:
"If I didn't have something really difficult to handle, I definitely wouldn't have called you here."
"Oh, by the way, where is your sister?"
"Why didn't I come with you this time?"
While Tong Guan was saying these words, he also made an inviting gesture towards the Ziyao heroine, gesturing for her to sit to the side so that the two of them could discuss the next matter in detail.
The Ziyao heroine, however, was not polite to Tong Guan. She turned around and found a nearby seat to sit down.
"My sister's place has been very busy recently. It is estimated that she will not be able to rush back to the capital within a day or two."
"So I decided privately to take on this mission first."
Tong Guan pondered for a while:
"Well, I've called you here this time. What I'm asking you to do is nothing new. I just want you to help us, father and son, catch one person."
Ziyao frowned slightly:
"But who is it?"
"Please let me know clearly, sir."
Tong Guan slowly picked up the tea bowl placed on the coffee table. After blowing the heat away slightly, he took a sip with a leisurely expression:
"Speaking of which, that person is not a big shot in the court. He is just a minister in the Ministry of Works and a leading eunuch in the inner palace."
"There are no strong guards around him."
"When that person is in the palace, it's not easy to attack him."
"But that man has a house outside the palace."
"This person often returns to his house outside the palace to rest, and this is also the best time for the Ziyao heroine to capture him."
Ziyao slightly points her head:
"A minister of the Ministry of Industry with no real power, and a eunuch who has a house outside the palace."
"Such a person, as an important minister in the court, if you want to capture him, it will be much easier than me."
"I don't know, sir, but why did you call me to do this?"
Tong Guan sighed helplessly:
"What the heroine Ziyao said is true, but that guy is very popular with today's officials. Just pointing out this fact makes it inconvenient for me to take action."
"If killing such a small person makes the current officials disgusted..."
"Then, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"
"And it just so happens that the most suitable person for this matter is a knight-errant like Xiang Ziyao."
"That's why I called you here this time."
"I wonder if Ziyao Heroine can take on this mission?"
As soon as Tong Guan finished speaking, Ziyao stood up from the chair.
Underneath the beautiful face covered by black gauze, there was a look of pride and disdain.
"He's just a minor official in the court, and he's just an eunuch."
"How can I not touch him?"
"Since this person is an eunuch who specializes in trying to please the current officials, I think he won't be a good person."
"And next, my actions like this can be regarded as eliminating harm for the common people in the world."
"I think after my sister knew that I did this, she would definitely not blame me."
"It's just the issue of remuneration, have you ever thought about it?"
Tong Guan smiled lightly, and then extended an index finger to Ziyao:
"I wonder if the Ziyao heroine is satisfied with this number?"
At this moment, Ziyao's eyes sparkled with energy.
It was obvious that she was quite moved by the price Tong Guan offered her.
But she still wanted to mention that number even higher:
"Master Tong, don't blame me for being greedy. Although the eunuch doesn't have any important official position, the place where he does it is relatively easy."
"But this place is, after all, at the feet of the emperor in the capital. If a person is suddenly kidnapped from his residence..."
"In the future, once the Kaifeng governor investigates, it will be quite troublesome."
"So I think it's not impossible for the adults to ask me to do this, it's just about the reward..."
"I want two thousand taels of silver!"
Tong Guan's face was stunned for a while.
Then he shook his head and chuckled:
"good!"
"I am the heroine Yi Ziyao."
"I wonder when Ziyao Heroine will be able to handle this matter?"
Ziyao slowly walked a few steps in the middle of the hall.
"Before the action begins, I must conduct a careful investigation of the eunuch's residence."
"After the investigation, I will also need half a day to formulate a specific action plan."
"As for when I can bring that person to your presence, it also depends on when that person leaves the palace and returns home."
Tong Guan nodded slightly:
"That makes sense."
"Well, let's do it according to the wishes of the heroine Ziyao. I'll wait here for good news."
The woman named Ziyao, although she was born as a girl, was very resolute in how she handled things.
At this point, the target mission has been clarified and the price has been negotiated, so there is no need for her to stay here any longer.
He gave Tong Guan a rather refreshing fist-cup salute, and then turned his waist to leave.
But at this moment, Tong Chenglin, who had been silent until now, ran a few steps and stopped in front of Ziyao.
While his face was full of smiles, several strangely excited looks flashed through his eyes:
"Ziyao Heroine, Ziyao Heroine, there have been a lot of fine wines and food in my house in recent days, but I can't eat so much alone."
"If the heroine Ziyao is interested, then she can eat and drink with me."
"How do you like it?"
Ziyao looked at the extremely flattering man in front of her with an indifferent expression.
For no reason, a sense of disgust arose in his heart:
"Forget it, not interested."
After saying this, Ziyao didn't even look at Tong Chenglin, then walked around him and walked towards the door.
Such a move by Ziyao immediately made Tong Chenglin furious.
After gritting his teeth for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Zhu Ziyao, you little bitch!"
"How dare you not give the young master face like this? If you didn't see that you, a little bitch, are still of some use to our family, I would have pushed you down thousands of times, young master!"
"Bitch..."
"Bitch!"
But no matter how loud Tong Chenglin shouted, the woman named Zhu Ziyao couldn't hear him.
Because at this moment, the woman had already walked out of the Tong Family Courtyard and into the crowded market.
This Tong Chenglin, because he was corrupted by the Tong Guan monster since he was a child, so when he does many things, he seldom considers the results and consequences.
As long as he can enjoy endless excitement and happiness in the process of doing this thing, he will want to try it no matter what.
