Chapter 472
Xizi, who was about to lead the little eunuch into the room to clean up, listened to the words of the eighth child who was giving a gag order, and grinned bitterly, in the end, he was too shallow, and he actually believed that the dignified prince would really cry for the death and sadness of a staff member, and would really trust him as an inconspicuous little eunuch, everything was a play.
No wonder, when he was assigned to the Reshallow Water Pavilion to serve Ning Lao, his master Zhang Cheng would say that maybe this place was more suitable for him.
In this mansion, the person who knows him best is afraid that he has taken him from a sprinkler who does some rough work to a second-class eunuch who serves the eighth master's pen and ink - Zhang Cheng!
He's so confused!
It's a shame that when he just left the study at that time, he thought that Zhang Cheng was worried that he would one day become the eighth master's close eunuch and lose his current dignity as a big eunuch, so he dug a pit and set up such a trap for him.
"Pack up all the things in the yard first, lest you trip over your master. Xizi, who was in a good mood, raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the group of little eunuchs who were standing stupidly, flicked her sleeves, and commanded loudly.
Zhang Cheng, who was left behind by the eighth child to deal with the aftermath, looked at Xizi, whose spirit was not as good as just now, his heart was sour, he took out a plain white handkerchief, wiped the stains on Xizi's face for Xizi, patted Xizi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xizi, remember what the master taught you, no matter when, the one who carries the black pot has always been the most trusted slave by the master's side."
The master doesn't want you to stay with the eighth master, but it's actually for your good.
The master couldn't get out, so he followed the eighth master when he was a child. Even if the master wants to leave now, the eighth master will not let the master go, you are different. You only entered the mansion two years ago, but you are just a little eunuch who waits for pen and ink in the study, and there may be another way to go.
What's more, there is a master waiting by the eighth master's side, even if you go back to being a little eunuch who sprinkles and sweeps now, who dares not to look down on you with long eyes!" After speaking, he smiled and straightened the horseshoe sleeve, and stuffed the stained handkerchief back into the sleeve.
"Master. Thanks to ...... "Xizi" heard the words, the sweet and sour, the five flavors were mixed. All of a sudden, it came to my heart, and I couldn't help but cry with some gaffe eyes, and I was very moved.
"Alright, don't look like this little girl. It's uncomfortable to look at.
The master was sold into the Internal Affairs Office when he was young. I don't even know what my original surname is, where my family is, I am such a close child as you here, and I don't take care of you, do I see you suffer!
Okay, don't call Xizi in the future, follow the master's surname, and directly surname Zhang.
To say that our master is really fateful. The master who took me at the beginning was the surname of his master who passed down his master's surname - the surname Zhang, and I also took the surname Zhang with the master. I thought you could find someone in the family, so I never asked you to change your surname.
Wait a few days, the limelight of this matter has passed, you call a few good little eunuchs, and the master also calls a few good friends, and then put a lively table, just set your name.
Okay, the master has been delaying a lot of work here, the eighth master is not far away, the master will leave first, after a while, someone will bring the coffin to see Ning Lao leave, you remember to be careful of the errand. Zhang Cheng patted Xizi's back with a smile, nodded slightly, and showed a trace of sadness in a little uncontrollable emotion, and said in a low voice.
After speaking, he waved his hand at Xizi, followed the footsteps of the eighth child without looking back, and left the Reshallow Water Pavilion.
The Reshallow Water Pavilion regained its calm again.
Except for those little eunuchs who were temporarily transferred from other places to help, who looked at Xizi in a daze with a guy, Zhao Hongwen and Song Zhehan didn't know whether to sleep or hide in the room to enjoy their leisure, and they didn't even have the idea of coming out to see Ning Lao for the last time.
Xizi sorted out her mood a little, pointed to the messy upper room, clapped her hands and said: "It's not early, let's be faster, maybe we can take advantage of the dawn to go back to sleep for a while, otherwise when the day dawns, don't blame me for not feeling sorry for you." ”
After saying that, Kiko assigned the errands to everyone's heads in turn, and took the lead in carrying a bucket of water, rags, small shovels and other guys, and went directly into the inner room to clean up the mess all over the ground.
There is a lot of power in numbers, and like this kind of house that has been burned by fire, that is, to clean up the ground, sweep away the ashes and sewage after the fire, and take out the pillars and beams to check the bearing points, so as not to notice anything that has been burned by the fire, causing a greater collapse accident, and making it easier for the craftsmen who come to repair it to do things.
In addition, that is, the piggyback hand to pick up the undamaged ornaments, if the manager of the warehouse wants to take it back, it will also save them two times.
Of course, if the people in charge don't want it, that's even better, so they can sell these things and make a small fortune.
With such a plan, the big guy can be described as full of energy.
Without waiting for the person who came to transport Ning Lao's body to come over, Xizi led the big guy to clean up the upper room, if it weren't for the blackened places where the doors and windows needed to be repainted, just from the outside, it really couldn't be seen that there was such a thing as a fire in this place.
"You, you......
The two of you will stay and wait with me in the Repulse Pavilion, and the others will go back to rest first. Kiko checked the results of her work, nodded with satisfaction, and casually ordered two people out of the crowd, and waved her hand to let the big guys go back to rest.
Xiao Wu, who was left by name, waited for Xizi to turn around and leave, and he couldn't bear to hit him with his shoulder, and the same person who was left behind complained with a decrepit face: "Hey, it's really unlucky, I knew that I would have stood back." ”
When the man named Qizi heard that he was left to serve in the Reshallow Water Pavilion, he was full of joy, staring at Xizi as if he had seen braised pork, saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he chased after Xiao Wu who was still complaining, and muttered with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, Gonggong Xi has always been a good-natured person, if he can really be left in the Reshallow Water Pavilion to serve, it is better than continuing to follow Gonggong Chen." ”
"That's right, but I'm afraid I didn't sleep this time.
You see. There was also a corpse there, and I felt panicked when I thought about it!" Xiao Wu also nodded in agreement when he heard this. But when he thought of the charcoal-like corpse under the porch, he was depressed again, and hurriedly chased after the carabiner, muttering in a low voice.
"Don't think about those who don't need it, we have no grievances with him, even if there are really any ghosts, we should go to the people who hurt him. The squire reached out and pushed Xiao Wu. He pointed in the direction of Xizi with his chin, signaling him not to talk nonsense with such a big mouth, but he didn't want to see Xiao Wu's sweaty and fearful appearance. Busy changing his words and persuading.
Xizi, who had been listening to the chatter of the two little eunuchs behind him, heard this, he really couldn't listen to it, and he was really afraid that Ning Lao would become a ghost. Come to settle accounts with him, the man who sits idly by. deliberately coughed dryly twice, cleared his throat, turned his head with disgust in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Just your guts, there are no dead people under that brick in this Sijiu City, if you are afraid of this, it is better to find an eggshell to drill in."
Hurry up and find a place to squint for a while. You're not tired, I'm still tired!" After saying that, he strode towards his own room.
"Hi father-in-law. Don't be angry, our brother is poor, you look at our brother and I don't know which room is empty, you should show us a place, otherwise how do we know where to rest?"
Xizi sneered, pursed her lips, turned around, and said in a weird manner: "Who knows which fateful person can come back!"
Okay, look at the two of you trembling with fright, go to that room to carry two sets of luggage, come to my house for the night, and get up early tomorrow. After speaking, he strode into the house, Xizi would never tell Xiao Wu and Qizi, in fact, he himself was so afraid, otherwise he would not have taken in these two stinky little eunuchs to live in the same room with him.
While chanting "Amitabha Buddha ......", Kiko moved her futon to the side, and at the same time changed a few pieces of broken silver stuffed in the pillow to a locked box and locked it, until she heard the movement of Xiao Wu and Qizi approaching, then took the basin, walked to the courtyard, and simply wiped the sweat stains on her body.
"You all wipe your bodies and go back to sleep, this stinky is really disgusting. Xizi, who had washed up, put on a clean bedclothes, looked at Xiao Wu and Qizi, who were about to lie down in his clothes, raised his leg and kicked the edge of the kang, muttering in disgust.
"Hey, happy father-in-law, you should be willing to be so stinky!
But look over there, it's better that there are more people just now, how dare we go over to fetch water at this time, or you will just do it, and wait for tomorrow morning, we will clean your house inside and out, and keep it without leaving a smell. Xiao Wu sat up with a sad face, and said with a hippie smile while rubbing the mud rolls on his neck.
"I'm so scared of you!
I can tell you, just tonight, if you don't clean up tomorrow, you will go back to your yard for me, don't let me know, that Chen Gonggong is not a good person to deal with. Xizi followed Xiao Wu's line of sight, looked at the half-open window, and couldn't help but feel a little creepy, hurriedly stepped forward and locked the window, then turned around, glared at Xiao Wu and Qizi, and whispered.
After speaking, he ignored the two little eunuchs with hippie smiling faces, and went directly into the bed to sleep.
This night, he was really tired, he was still a little insomnia, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, he snored.
Poor Xiao Wu and the two of them, they originally felt that they were in the same courtyard as the dead, their hearts were unstable, and their bodies were sweating and uncomfortable, and then listening to the snoring sound like thunder, all the sleepiness ran to Java, and they could only stare at the dawn, and at the same time, they were extremely looking forward to it, and hurriedly moved Ning Lao's body out of the shallow water pavilion.
is like the two of them who have no sleep all night, and Zhao Hongwen, the perpetrator.
At the beginning, he was supported by the strength of wine, and he had just done something evil, he was still a little excited, and he could talk eloquently about the murderer of Ning Lao and other details with Lao Ba, but when he returned to the house, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, for fear that among the little eunuchs who were taken to the torture room for interrogation, someone noticed that he secretly went to the room, especially when he thought of the eighth master, he seemed to look at him with a deep meaning before, and this heart jumped like a drum.
He was so scared that he was going to die, and he didn't dare to show any abnormal behavior, so he could only lean on the door very helplessly and uneasily, and listened to the movement in the yard with his ears curtailed, but whenever he heard a little small movement, he was so frightened that he clenched the dagger and put on a desperate posture with people, for fear that someone would suddenly break into the door while he was not paying attention and grab him to fight for his life, and waited until the sky was bright, then he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed weakly on the ground.
"Whew!"
Zhao Hongwen, who took a few deep breaths, finally lifted a trace of strength, reached out and touched his chest, felt the beating of his hands, showed a wicked smile, and thought: In the end, grandpa is still a step ahead, no matter how powerful you are, you will be valued by the eighth master, and now you can only go to the king of Yama to show off.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Just when Zhao Hongwen was complacent, a slightly abrupt knock on the door caused him to panic again, and he hurriedly took a deep breath, calmed down, pretended to be disturbed by the irritability of a good dream, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Who, this is the time to come to make a good night's sleep." ”
"Brother Zhao, it's me.
I thought that on a day like this, I should have gotten up earlier, so I came over to disturb Brother Zhao's good dreams. Outside the door, Song Zhehan hooked his lips and smiled, raising a mocking smile, but his tone was peaceful and abnormal, and even had some flattery in it, and said softly.
"It turned out to be Brother Song. Feeling Song Zhehan's cautious and flattering attitude, Zhao Hongwen was completely relieved, and while sorting out the bedclothes on his body, he got up from the ground, deliberately messing up his hair as if he had just gotten up from the bed, and then opened the closed door and said with a smile.
Zhao Hongwen let Song Zhehan into the room to sit, and chattered endlessly, "I was thinking about Ning Lao's affairs all night, and I didn't sleep until dawn, I didn't want to almost miss the hour, but Brother Song came over and called me, otherwise I would miss the last time I saw Ning Lao, and I don't know where Ning Lao's coffin was placed." ”
"Don't hide it from Brother Zhao, I haven't slept much this night, my heart is like a dozen or twenty little rabbits, I was startled when I heard the wind blowing the treetops, otherwise I wouldn't have come to find Brother Zhao so early. Song Zhehan stretched out his finger and pointed to the bruises around his eyes, raised his chin in the direction of the upper room, and said with a worried face.
When Zhao Hongwen heard this, he nodded with a wry smile, and also learned from Song Zhehan's appearance, pointed to his pale, haggard face, and sighed: "Hey, it's not just you, I'm too, then Brother Song will sit down for a while, I'll go change my clothes, and then let's go over and find someone to ask about Ning Lao's funeral, and go to give Ning Lao Zhu incense, which can be regarded as our heart." ”
After saying that, he politely arched his hand, turned around and walked into the inner room.
