Chapter 205: The First Clues

Chapter 205

As soon as the little eunuch who was followed returned to the courtyard of the study, he was tied up by Chen Fuling, and he didn't know whether someone was deliberately teasing the little eunuch, or he was afraid that he would be found out noisy, so he actually stuffed the stinky socks that he had been getting out of nowhere into the little eunuch's mouth, and Chen Fu retched for a while, but the fourth master was still waiting in the room to reply, Chen Fu could only kick the little eunuch twice angrily, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, and walked quickly to the study.

As soon as Su Peisheng saw Chen Fu walk in, he decided to lighten the pressure, hurriedly came to the fourth master's side, and said in a low voice: "Chen Fu come here, fourth master, ...... look"

Hearing this, the fourth master raised his eyes and looked at Chen Fu who was walking in the courtyard, took a deep breath, glanced at Su Peisheng, and continued to look down at the various news that Zhang Bao had collected.

Outsiders only know that there is a trusted eunuch named Zhang Bao next to the fourth master, but they don't know that there is also a Chen Fu hidden behind Zhang Bao, so once Chen Fu appears, it will be the real end of the world!

And those who know Chen Fucun's zài have either been hung up, or they are the die-hard servants of the fourth master, so the fourth master has never worried that Chen Fu will be discovered, even the main courtyard Fujin Wulanala clan who can enter and exit the study does not know that there is such a number one person, which shows how deeply this Chen Fu is hidden.

"Master, this is what the slave searched from that person!" As soon as Chen Fu entered the study, Su Peisheng hurriedly walked out.

The fourth master raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the voice, stretched out a hand without raising his head, and played with a jasper hairpin in his hand, with an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Does anyone know about this?" the fourth master rubbed the hosta in his hand. As if casually asked.

Chen Fu was shorter, "Master, no one knows." ”

"These people can't tolerate her. Then it looks like you really have to plan well!" the fourth master casually put the hosta next to the paperweight and said in a low voice.

Chen Fu didn't pick it up, after all, this matter implicated the masters in the backyard, he was a minion, and he didn't say anything wrong.

The room was quiet all of a sudden, and after a long while, the fourth master picked up the hosta again.

"Tell someone to ask him. What the hell are you going to do, and when the time comes, push it in the back!"

Chen Fu couldn't believe his ears, this master had spoiled the one in the West Courtyard. However, the master's order was greater than the sky, Chen Fu still responded quickly, picked up the hosta in the fourth master's hand, and quickly walked to the utility room where the little eunuch was locked behind.

The little eunuch was tied up from the moment he was tied. He knew he was done. At this time, Chen Fulai asked, and he immediately poured beans into the bamboo tube and spit it out.

He is just a little eunuch who does rough work such as sprinkling and cleaning in the yard, and he only has five yuan a month, but there is a seriously ill bedridden father and a brother who is just ten years old at home, but he also knows that the fourth master has strict rules and does not let them interact with people in the backyard, and the people who come to the front to do things will naturally not reward him as a little eunuch.

Five pennies of silver per month. It is impossible to let my father and brother live a stable life, but fortunately, there are still a few acres of thin fields at home. I can't hold on, and I can't starve.

I just don't know what's wrong, a few months ago, a letter came from the family, saying that the brother inadvertently killed an old cattle in the village, this is a first-class event, the slaughter of this cow, that is to cross the clear road in the yamen, otherwise it is not just a loss of money can be understood, if you don't get it right, you will be sentenced to a felony.

The little eunuch panicked and sent all the money borrowed from the same house back to his hometown, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

A few days ago, by coincidence, the fourth master had a stomach trouble with the little eunuch who was waiting in front of him, and came to him to replace him, he naturally cherished this opportunity, changed clothes with the little eunuch, and followed the fourth master to the east courtyard behind.

As soon as he entered the backyard, the little eunuch felt that his eyes were not enough, and he bowed his head and swept the floor in the courtyard of the study on weekdays, never noticing that these maids and palace maids were wearing gold and silver jewelry on their heads, not to mention the hostesses who greeted the fourth master at the door.

Originally, the little eunuch was just envious, but after waiting under the porch and listening to the conversation between the two little maids in the corner, the little eunuch had other thoughts.

Although the master has entered the inner courtyard, the things that serve around him are still done by them, the eunuchs, that is, when they get up and rest in the fourth master, they may have a little time to enter the room to serve, and those hostesses love to groom on the couch near the window outside, maybe he can just take a valuable thing.

At that time, he will not only be able to solve the difficulties of the family, but also pay back the money owed to the people in the yard, and even if the hostesses find out, they will naturally not suspect the people around them, although it may affect the people who are waiting for the hostess, but he can't worry about it at this time.

Coincidentally, the fourth master entered the east courtyard, and saw that Mo Yaqi was practicing calligraphy outside, so he didn't enter the main room, but walked directly to the west wing, and saw Wang Gege, who had no children and had fallen out of favor for a few days, and Wang Gege was even more glamorous, with five treasure golden hairpins in his hair, and the whole person was like a moving treasure house, which caused the little eunuch to drool a little, if it wasn't for the little eunuch next to him to remind him, I'm afraid he would have lost his temper.

As soon as the fourth master entered the west wing, he heard the sound of Su Peisheng calling someone to go in and wait, the little eunuch was busy dressing up, and followed the person in front of him with his head down, although he was just holding a copper basin next to him, but he still saw a glimmer of hope, because he saw the makeup box on the low table, the five-layer carved sour branch wood makeup box was half open, and the candlelight next to it happened to fall on the jewelry and jade inside, flashing a faint light, but in the eyes of the little eunuch, it was almost blinding his dog eyes.

It's just that although that thing is close at hand, but if you want to really touch it, it will be difficult to get into the sky, until the little eunuch leaves the West Wing with the guy in his hand, and he didn't find a chance, and when he thought of missing such an opportunity, he would never meet it again, and the little eunuch's heart was completely black.

In the evening, the fourth master stayed in the west wing of the east courtyard, and these little eunuchs could only rest in the tea room in the ear room. The little eunuch recalled the person closest to the side of the low table before, and looked at the eunuch who was sitting by the tea stove, as if he had stumbled under his feet. Then he sprinkled the hot tea on the tea stove on the man's feet, and the man screamed, hurriedly gagged his mouth, and stared at the little eunuch with resentment in his eyes.

The little eunuch was still not in a hurry, according to the predetermined script in his heart, and Putong knelt at the man's feet at once, kowtowed again and again, and finally let the man change the errand to him. And his work in carrying the basin is just right for the person with a foot injury.

That person was more faceless in front of the fourth master, and he was also an apprentice of Su Peisheng. On weekdays, because of his dexterity, he combs his hair for the fourth master, even if he is close to things such as the makeup box, it will not make people suspicious. The little eunuch was secretly proud.

The man was angry at the mistake of the little eunuch. But it was impossible to go out and find someone to replace him at this time, but he half-pushed and half-agreed to the little eunuch's request, handed over the ability to comb his hair to the little eunuch, and even asked a few little eunuchs who came to serve to practice for the little eunuch.

Excited, apprehensive, excited...... These tastes were mixed in the heart of the little eunuch, who did not close his eyes all night, looking forward to the coming of daylight.

When Su Peisheng kicked them up one by one, Xiao Yingzi secretly puffed up in her heart, and followed Su Peisheng into the west wing. Looking at the makeup box that was placed on the low table yesterday, it was still half-open and half-closed. As if comforting themselves, this qiē sin was pressed on the maid who was responsible for taking care of these things, if they served them wholeheartedly, the makeup box should be locked and put away, as if only in this way could Xiaoyingzi do bad things with peace of mind.

Xiao Yingzi, who was too excited, took the jade comb handed over by the maid with trembling hands, but didn't want to drop the comb on the ground all at once, Xiao Yingzi's heart sank, and she knelt down on the ground, and the little maid who handed things next to her also seemed to be a novice, and she wanted to kneel down in a panic, but she just touched the makeup box on the low table to the ground, and for a while those golden and gorgeous hair ornaments and jewelry fell all over the ground, but fortunately, the jade that was afraid of falling was placed in the bottom makeup box, but it was not broken.

Xiao Yingzi kowtowed again and again, but found a pair of uninlaid Nanzhu the size of a fingernail, rolled to his feet, and his heart moved, and he directly put away the pair of beads with his sleeve, and then continued to beg for mercy like a little eunuch begging for forgiveness from the fourth master.

Wang Gege, who had already changed his clothes next to him, Xu couldn't see it, so he stepped forward with a smile to persuade him, and the fourth master was not good at punishing his own people outside, so he just scolded him coldly, and directly asked Xiaoyingzi to get up and comb his hair.

This matter passed like this, and Xiao Yingzi also begged someone to send the pair of beads out, but he didn't want to be in the process of settling with that person, Wang Gege led a few maids to block them at the corner gate.

That day, Wang Gege was wearing a water-red soft satin robe, and a pair of ice seed floating jade bracelets on his wrists, and the whole person looked beautiful, but in Xiao Yingzi's eyes, Wang Gege was like a demon from hell.

Xiao Yingzi knelt on the ground nervously, waiting for the death signal to come, but he didn't want Wang Gege to order someone to help him up, and asked Xiao Yingzi with a smile Why did he do this, Xiao Yingzi only thought that Wang Gege was kind, so he told everything that happened at home, hoping that Wang Gege could let him go.

And Wang Gege really let go of his crime of stealing as he wished, but dragged him into the bottomless abyss.

At the beginning, Wang Gege would just ask people to ask the fourth master about his preferences on weekdays, and he, the person who did the sprinkling and sweeping work, naturally didn't know, but fortunately, he had a good relationship with the other little eunuchs who served in the courtyard on weekdays, and he could really ask some inconspicuous things, and Xiaoyingzi didn't have much heart, so he met with the little maid sent by Wang Gege day by day.

Later, Wang Gege asked more and more things, and even if Xiaoyingzi asked, he could only get a sentence of "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know, be careful of your head." But the confession in Wang Gege's hand was like a sharp knife hanging over Xiao Yingzi's head, and he could only stare at the tip of the fourth master as Wang Gege ordered.

Chen Fu listened to what Xiao Yingzi said, and the shock in his heart was enough to make his whole person feel bad, how bold is this Xiao Yingzi, he actually dares to stare at the tip of the fourth master, and this Xiao Yingzi is also stupid, just by relying on Wang Gege's day by day to ask people to ask about it, he can completely grasp the initiative, and he is so stupid that people can grasp it to this point.

After Xiao Yingzi finished speaking, the whole person was boneless, and he sat on the ground, looking at Chen Fu with pleading in his eyes, but he didn't beg for mercy in the end, because he knew that if he begged for mercy, it would be embarrassing for Chen Fu.

But it was Xiao Yingzi's appearance that really made Chen Fu sympathetic.

Chen Fu patted Xiao Yingzi on the shoulder, walked back to the study quickly, repeated the things Xiao Yingzi explained, looked at the fourth master's uncertain face, and asked what Xiao Yingzi should do.

The fourth master raised his head a little strangely, such a betrayal's things, just drag them to a secluded place and kill them, and besides, the eunuchs are not as expensive as the palace maids, even if they are the little eunuchs pointed out by the Internal Affairs Office, it is not a big deal to kill one or two.

Chen Fu lowered his body slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master, the slave also knows that this matter is a bit presumptuous, but the master, think about it, if this little Yingzi is not a sincere person, he will definitely not let people hold it, with the slave see, it is better to leave him alive, and when the time comes, I am not afraid that he will be unfaithful to you!"

"Do you think this is reliable?" the fourth master asked rhetorically.

Chen Fu nodded, "The slave asked about his ancestral hometown, which is the county where Wang Gege's Ama works, and the little eunuch who suddenly asked him to replace him is also a little suspicious, the slave thinks that this matter may have been planned by Wang Gege a long time ago!"

The fourth master pondered for a moment, and felt that what Chen Fu said made some sense, these people who could serve him close to him were all selected by Su Peisheng and Zhang Bao and others, and even if there was such a sudden discomfort for one and a half, it was not that he couldn't find a eunuch who was resting in shifts to replace him, how could he suddenly target a little eunuch who was sprinkling and sweeping.

"Okay, since you want to let him live, then the master will give you this face, but there is one, don't let him reveal your secrets, as for how to do it, you don't need to talk nonsense!

In addition, the little eunuch who suddenly found Xiao Yingzi, you also have to check it carefully, be careful, and check it with others!" The fourth master suddenly felt that the people around him who trusted him seemed to have become less credible, and said with some sadness.

Chen Fulang said yes, walked back to Xiao Yingzi quickly, casually asked Xiao Yingzi a few questions, and asked Xiao Yingzi to cover Xiao Yingzi in a sack and take it away.

As for the little eunuch who found Xiao Yingzi, Chen Fu also asked him to be locked up, and found a pair of jade bracelets and a set of red gold inlaid amethyst heads in his room, and interrogated him slightly, but affirmed the possibility that this little eunuch was bought by Wang Gege or others.

Why didn't Chen Fu directly kill this person, firstly, because it was the Internal Affairs Office that was divided, if it was used by someone with a heart, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not cause some small trouble, and secondly, because this little eunuch had become a completely wasted person, and it was impossible for others to get any information from his mouth, and it was impossible for the Internal Affairs Office to let the little eunuch live again, and Chen Fu naturally knew how to choose two things with one stone. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: If you go outside, you must first settle inside, the time for Kowloon to win the heir has sounded the horn, and the fourth master naturally can't help but calm down the affairs of the inner courtyard!
