Chapter 22
"How dare you slave!" Xiao Chen flatly denied, "What this slave says is the truth."
"Then how do you deal with this matter?" Murong Yueqiu saw his sincerity and knew he was lying!
"Hold it in a low-key manner, it's best to treat it as if nothing happened... the stability of the palace is the most important thing!" Xiao Chen said righteously.
"Zifang, what do you think?" asked Zhang Zifang.
"Xiao Chen's words are reasonable, and this old slave thinks the same way." Zhang Zifang answered neatly, this is all the effect of the white jade wishful.
"Hmph, is that the way to go? You have to give her a little punishment so that she can remember... Punish her with one year's supply!" Actually, it's the same as no punishment.
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is kind!" Xiao Chen and Zhang Zifang praised in unison.
"Are those people who work with you reliable?" Murong Yueqiu asked coldly.
"Hui Niangniang's words are very reliable. The servant dares to guarantee them with his head, and will never leak any news, except..." Xiao Chen hesitated to speak.
"Except who?"
"Zhao Gongming! This man's mouth is not firm."
"Well, then you should know what to do?"
"The servant knows!"
"Then let's do it quickly."
"Hey! Your Majesty, I dare to guarantee that my people will not reveal the rumors, but I'm afraid that other people will know about this matter. If they say something wrong..."
What Xiao Chen meant was that it has nothing to do with me.
"I want your head too." Murong Yueqiu said flatly.
"Hey!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
Xiao Chen invited Zhuge Xiaosheng, Wei Yuntian, Wen Shanchang, and Zhao Gongming to his residence, and set up a sumptuous banquet, which was both a celebration banquet and a farewell banquet.
Farewell to Zhao Gongming.
"The empress is suspicious of Eunuch Zhao? How could it be, Eunuch Zhao is an old man in the palace, can he talk nonsense? I, Wei Yuntian, dare to vouch for him!"
Wei Yuntian was quite happy at first, but when he heard Xiao Chen said that the queen wanted Zhao Gongming to die, his expression immediately became sad.
Although we were not familiar with each other before, we did this together, and we were called to fight side by side during the war, and we were friends of life and death.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wen Shanchang were also silent, since the queen was suspicious, then Zhao Gongming must die, no one can save him.
"Hehe, my old man has lived for more than sixty years, and he has already lived enough. It is really not a pity to die, but..." Zhao Gongming sighed.
It's just a great pity that I can't see the crown prince returning to the country with my own eyes.
In addition, he is not stupid, he faintly feels that maybe it is not the queen who wants to kill him, but the crown prince wants to kill him to silence him...
Otherwise, if he can keep these few, why can't he keep me?
If so, there is nothing to say.
"It's just that the situation outside is more complicated than in the palace. You old man has to be careful after you go out, don't let anyone cheat you of your little pension money." Xiao Chen took out a five thousand taels of silver note and handed it to him. give him.
"Hmm...ah?" Zhao Gongming was taken aback. What do you mean, Prince?
"Shanchang, when we chatted before, you said that you can prepare a poison to make people temporarily suspended animation, do you remember?" Xiao Chen looked at Wen Shanchang.
"Remember, remember! It turns out that Eunuch, you want to..." Wen Shanchang was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly agreed.
"Yes, I want to send Zhao Gongming out of the palace alive. I still need the help of you two, Xiaosheng and Yuntian, but I'm ugly. If this happens in the future, we will all lose our heads." Xiao Chen road.
"It's...too dangerous! I'd rather die than hurt you!" Zhao Gongming mainly didn't want to hurt the prince.
In fact, he is also confused, since Xiao Chen has said all these words, it is impossible to take them back.
"If you don't live and die together, what kind of brothers are you?" Wei Yuntian protested.
"As I said, I will follow Brother Xiao from now on. Whatever you say, Brother Xiao, we will do." Zhuge Xiaosheng was still very calm, expressionless.
So they looked at the other two together, what else could those two say? I've all boarded your thief ship, and now I can't get off even if I think about it...
"Then listen to everything too... Thank you so much!" Only then did Zhao Gongming realize that he had misunderstood the prince, and he was both happy and ashamed.
"It's just that you should keep the money, Eunuch Xiao. To tell you the truth, I have also accumulated some property over the past few years..."
Say how many? Not much, but there are always one hundred and eighty thousand, and this is not counting the few shops I bought in the capital...
Fuck, you fucking eunuch actually got so much money!
You said that you have no children and no daughters to greed so much money, what's the use of it?
Zhao Gongming's heart is all about the former dynasty. He was greedy for so much money not because of himself, but because he calculated that if there are loyal soldiers from the former dynasty rebelling against Zhou in the future, the money can be used as funds.
Now it is natural to leave it to the prince.
But the crown prince is more greedy than him, he earned at least 200,000 silver just by helping Zhang Yao'er!
This is not counting those antique treasures that Zhang Baiwan pays special respect to him...
Although it is a mind-blowing activity, it is actually easy to do as long as you are brave enough.
After Zhao Gongming took the poison prepared by Wen Shanchang, he immediately fell to the ground and died.
Roll it up with a piece of grass and send it out of the palace gate. The Jin Yiwei who guards the palace gate knows Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian all, so he was confused and didn't take it too seriously when checking.
Besides, this kind of thing is very common, and they are all used to it, so they don't take it seriously.
Zhao Gongming did not leave the capital after leaving the palace, but changed his name, asked someone to change his appearance, put on a fake beard, married more than a dozen young concubines, and became a rich man .
In this way, Xiao Chen will have the first support outside the palace, and if something happens in the future, he can at least have a way out.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and Wei Yuntian returned to Jinyiwei to report on their duties, and Wen Shanchang also returned to Tai Hospital.
Xiao Chen was very generous to his brothers, not only gave the three of them forty taels of gold each, but also rewarded each of them with an additional one thousand taels of silver.
The three of them will never earn this money in their entire lives!
Leaving aside whether Xiao Chen can make a fortune with Xiao Chen, at least he has achieved financial freedom first.
Now everyone can eat pork knuckle for every meal.
The brothers of Jin Yiwei are envious of this, if they knew it was such a fat job, how good we would do it! It's a pity that those two boys are cheap.
The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were outraged, how could such a good thing happen to Wen Shanchang, a fool like this?
I didn't realize that this kid who was usually silent even climbed up to Gao Zhi'er...
What kind of job did you do to make so much money?
Having said that, I really didn't expect Xiao Gonggong to be so generous and interesting. In the future, the big guy will have to curry favor...
The big guy was thinking about currying favor with Xiao Chen, but Xiao Chen was thinking of currying favor with Huan'er.
He knows the importance of this little girl too well.
After serving the queen to bed at night, I followed her all the way to her residence, but I saw that although the room was small, the furnishings were extremely luxurious and elegant.
Not inferior to those low-ranking concubines.
