Chapter three hundred and ninety sixth night(1/2)
Inner city, a remote courtyard.
There is no one living in this courtyard on weekdays, and it seems like it is dilapidated.
Even at this time, two people were sitting in the room without lighting the lights.
Both of them couldn't even see each other's faces clearly.
The first person to speak was a little sharp, "Sir, we haven't met for several months."
"It's only seventy-eight days, not long after." Another spoke very gently, "My father-in-law has a very good look and I think life is still good."
"For your blessing, although our family is very idle recently, we are also at ease."
Listening to the other person's name and his claim, this person was obviously a eunuch in the palace.
Another person said, "Does my father-in-law still remember how we met?"
"Of course I remember that our family lost money, and the amount was quite large. When we encountered the account check, it was the adult who gave us a large amount of money, which allowed me to overcome the difficulties." The eunuch smiled. "Over the years, thanks to the gifts of the adults and..., our family has been living better and better in the palace and has a comfortable life."
"That's good."
The great man said, "In addition, father-in-law, your two nephews, have they often sent you?"
"have!"
Speaking of this, the eunuch's voice softened a little, "They live a good life now and have many descendants. Our family also wants to thank you."
"You're welcome, this is just the beginning, and good days are still coming." The adult said modestly.
The eunuch smiled slightly, "Okay, sir, don't hide it. I'm afraid it's not for reminiscing about the past?"
"Well, there is one thing that needs your help from my father-in-law." The man took out two small paper bags from his arms and placed them on the table: "This is a snake venom powder from Baiyue. Take a packet and mix it in the soup and drink it. At most, you will reach the Wonderland of Bliss at a time and three minutes. Please keep your promise and give it to him for me!"
The eunuch trembled all over.
Beads of sweat as big as beans instantly appeared on his forehead.
"Sir... really... really..." He felt his voice dry and could hardly be explained, "Is it really going to take this step?"
"Is it a waste of our layout for so many years?" the man said leisurely, "Father-in-law, I analyzed the pros and cons with you many years ago. Now I don't need to repeat it, right?"
"But it's different now!" said the eunuch tremblingly. "Now he is very valued by the emperor, and the government and the people have high expectations for him. This is no longer the naughty person in the past two years!"
"It is precisely because of this that we have to act quickly, otherwise we may not even have a chance for you after waiting for two years." The man said, "Dadfather-in-law, you won't tell me that our dead-handed move is no longer obedient now?"
"That's not, such a fool, how can you have any brains?" the eunuch shook his head and said, "It's just that this is... the risk is too great... what if it's involved...?"
"Maybe Your Highness involves?"
The man smiled, "Father-in-law, if I have tracked down this point, I will still have a pack of snake venom powder in my arms. I can't give them the opportunity to torture me, so all the blame is mine."
The eunuch nodded slightly, but his hair stood up immediately.
wrong!
What this guy just gave me was two packs of snake venom powder.
Who is the second package for?
His face turned pale.
In the darkness, the man couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could also feel his trembling.
"Brother-in-law, you should know that it is not easy to pass on your family and your family's incense..." the man said leisurely.
The eunuch's face turned pale.
How could he not hear the threat from the adults?
If he dared to betray these people, his family would die in a blink of an eye and there would be no room for struggle.
The eunuch had no fertility, so if his family wanted to pass on their descendants, they had to do it by other relatives.
Many eunuchs were very concerned about this, and this one was even more so.
If it weren't for this matter, he wouldn't have had contact with adults and others.
And he also firmly believed that this adult must have this strength and it would be effortless.
After listening for a while, the man said again: "Dadfather-in-law, as long as you get the dead chess in the first place, they will not find out about you... After all, in the past few years, you have never had any contact with him on the surface, and others don't know your relationship, right?"
The eunuch nodded slowly.
He is a very careful person. When he heard the adults talk about this plan several years ago, he consciously began to cultivate dead chess.
This is a matter that concerns the lives of the whole family, and he dare not be careless at all.
Of course, he was not just so obedient because he was threatened by the lives of the young and old in his family.
You must know that this is the sin of beheading.
The reason why the eunuch agreed was because he had a luxury in his heart, hoping that he could become the first eunuch in the future.
And as long as he can help this adult... and those behind him achieve his wish, his goals and ambitions will be very likely to be realized.
The demand for his own interests and the continued bondage of the family, the overlapping of the two made him willing to cooperate with this adult.
"Don't worry, we will not treat you badly after things are done." The man said lightly, "I know you have a backup plan, but it doesn't matter. What we want is a partner and never have the idea of silence. Otherwise, who else in the world dares to believe us and dares to cooperate with us?"
The eunuch smiled embarrassedly.
Even Zhao Shou could not be like a white lotus.
He definitely couldn't believe in all the adults or even the ones, and would definitely leave a backlog for himself and not let them burn bridges across the river.
"So, sir..." the eunuch asked carefully, "What's the time in the past few days?"
"Um."
The man whispered: "Three days later, on the fifth day of the eighth month, you can do it at 5 o'clock in the evening."
"yes."
The eunuch nodded and agreed.
Since we have reached this point, there is nothing to hesitate about.
You can live a step forward, but you will inevitably die if you take one step back.
He is also a ruthless and determined person, and of course he will not have any more scruples.
But he still had some questions: "Why choose that day?"
"Because that day..." the man smiled: "That day was a good day!"
...
The tea on the table was already cold.
The eunuch's footsteps had gone away, leaving only the adult sitting there.
He gently tapped the table, thinking in his heart.
Before he knew it, another person was added in front of him.
The man revealed a gloomy breath all over his body, which was even more gloomy than the eunuch just now.
"Have you brought all the things I want?" The adult lit up the lights, illuminating the entire room and the two of them.
The man opposite was in his thirties, with ordinary face, clear edges and thick hands, and seemed to have a sense of wind and frost on his face. At first glance, he was a person who often ran outside.
However, his eyes were very sharp, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
The adult looked very young, but he was a little thin and his face was a little pale.
The man took out a thick cloth bag from his arms and placed it in front of the adult.
The thin man was not polite, so he opened the cloth bag and took out a thick stack of silver notes from it.
The first one on the table was the face value of 10,000 taels of gold.
Such a thick stack, I’m afraid it’s hundreds of thousands of taels!
Even if ordinary people see the first one, they may have difficulty breathing, but neither this adult nor that man has any special color on their faces.
It seemed as if the ones placed in front of them were just dozens of sheets of paper.
"I left behind 100,000 taels of gold, and there are a total of 400,000 taels of gold here. There are tickets from the three major banks of Jinfu Money House, Jucai Yinzhuang, and Henglong Money House." The man said lightly: "It's rare for me to make a fortune once. The Lin family is really rich! I see Lin Laoer's appearance, they should have at least a family fortune of no less than this number."
"Oh, why are so many people trying to be the governor of the canal transportation?" The thin man smiled and accepted the silver notes, "He didn't recognize you, right?"
The man shook his head: "No, he has never seen me before. If it were his brother, it would be almost the same. Speaking of which, the emperor is really relaxed to their Lin family. It was just that Lin Zhenyuan was detained in the palace, but his two sons were just monitoring him and did not do anything."
"The emperor is a nostalgic and soft-hearted person, so he is naturally not so heartless." The thin man smiled and turned his face a solemn: "You have heard what we said just now?"
The man shrugged and said carelessly: "It should have been like this long ago! I shouldn't have been delayed for so long!"
"You can't say that. Without this kind of thing, the little guy can only be a prince of the empire and there is no threat at all." The thin man said, "Your Highness has always felt deeply guilty about what happened back then... Even now, he has been alone and has not slept with the Crown Princess and others until dawn, not once, just because he is afraid of letting go."
"Hmph, this highness is, the older you are, the less you look like back then." The man snorted coldly, "A real man should break it, and sit on that throne and say something else. Before this, what were you thinking about?"
The thin man slapped his face and said with a smile: "Wu Lie, even if we change, you still haven't changed! If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know who should be conspiring with! Those people..., including your younger brother, are all idiots and idiots!"
The man's face changed slightly, his mouth moved, and he didn't say anything.
To be continued...
