The sedan chair captain didn't know what to say. He was busy laughing. When you have time, I'll find some meat dishes for you when you enter the palace. Pure royal roast meat and roast chicken. Do you want to drink a few cups?
When Namu heard that it was so delicious, his mouth immediately salivated, and he wanted to eat a few big mouthfuls.
You really have the ability to make me admire you. If you have time, I'll treat you to a drink in the tavern on the street. Namu was a little touched, but also a little embarrassed, so he quickly greeted you politely.
You and I are the same people. We have served the Emperor for many years and are considered acquaintances. You don't have to be too polite. I have a lot of wine and meat here, as long as you do me the honor!
The sedan chair captain smiled, his face full of flattery.
Namu felt very comfortable being complimented. He thought that his status was not high. Although he was a general, he only had two battalions of guards. He could only move around the emperor and felt very restricted.
He wanted to go to the battlefield and lead thousands of troops and horses. That was the taste of a general.
In terms of salary, he only earned 800 taels of silver a month. If it was an ordinary family, this money would not be spent.
The problem was that he had a large family. Including his relatives and servants, there were thirty people in his family.
The living expenses of thirty people all depended on his salary. Therefore, on average, he was not as good as ordinary people. It was natural for him to eat porridge and salted vegetables every morning.
The officialdom of the Mo Country was very corrupt. Those with a little power would seize the opportunity to plunder money.
Even though he was just a small sedan chair captain, because he served the Emperor, plus he was tactful and good at figuring out the Emperor's temper, he was more liked by the Emperor.
Therefore, some of the people below wanted to send gifts and money to the sedan chair captain, hoping that he would say a few good words or, in other words, at the critical moment, help him say a good word and avoid the disaster.
Therefore, the sedan chair captain was very popular in the palace. The people in the imperial kitchen in the palace mostly fawned on him and sent him some good wine and meat dishes to feed him and the sedan chair carriers.
Normally, as the head of the Emperor's guards, Namu had more power. Anyone who wanted to see the Emperor had to get his permission.
This kind of power was the key to grasping money. It was a great opportunity to earn money, but there was no money to take wood.
He was timid and did not dare to accept money. If he accepted other people's money, he would not be able to do anything. He did not dare to ask the emperor for anything.
In front of the Emperor, he was an unconditional submissive person. The sedan chair captain had once mocked him in private, saying that he was a foolish person who had to eat.
Today! At noon today, after the emperor enters the palace, we can have a drink? The sedan chair captain saw that Namu did not say anything and quickly struck while the iron was hot.
If that was the case, he would be embarrassed! Namu looked embarrassed and blushed. He owed someone a favor after all.
It didn't matter! You and I are brothers! The sedan chair captain smiled and walked closer to him. He placed a hand on his shoulder to show his intimacy.
Thus, Namu was infected and thought that the sedan chair captain was someone he could trust. His mood warmed up and he became happy.
Good, good! We drank a pot of wine and talked about our friendship. We were colleagues and should have been together long ago.
He chuckled. Obviously, he was infected by the sedan chair captain's enthusiasm.
Haha! The palanquin captain smiled. We are brothers and are as close as a family. In the future, your matters are my matters. Everyone should not separate from each other.
Namu finally found a chance to be grateful. He quickly replied,"Your business is my business!" In the future, if you need anything, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it.
Yes, yes! The palanquin captain looked extremely happy when he heard him say this. His face was full of smiles, wishing he could laugh out all his happiness.
The sedan chair captain was a scheming person. He wanted to rope in Namu. Once he needed it, he could order Namu around without worry.
Hanba was facing Eunuch An Fu inside the walls of the Flower Concubine Palace.
Outside the wall, Namu and the sedan chair captain were whispering to each other. Hanba also began to ask questions.
He asked An Fu,"Where were you just now?" You didn't respond when I called you!
Hanba said this on purpose to test An Fu's reaction. If he stood in the hall or in front of the inner room, he would definitely be able to hear the conversation between him and the Flower Concubine.
Perhaps, An Fu was provoked by him and exposed his previous position. He had been standing in the Flower Palace Hall.
Hearing the emperor ask this, An Fu immediately guessed the meaning behind his words. He wanted to test himself if he heard him barking like a dog.
Cold sweat broke out all over his body. Fortunately, he had thought of this. With the heads of the two eunuchs, everyone could only have their heads removed.
When he thought of this, he did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly answered Hanba's question. This servant has been standing in the courtyard the entire time and did not hear any sound. I hope the emperor can forgive me!
After An Fu finished speaking, he immediately knelt down again and began to kowtow like a sinner.
Alright! Stand up! Hanba frowned. He hated the way servants worked.
Kneeling and kowtowing at every turn, how am I supposed to say a complete sentence? What a cumbersome rule! He cursed in his heart.
Yes, yes! An Fu was submissive as he stood up. His knees were grayish-white. Hanba did not see it earlier, but now that he saw it, he could not help but smile.
An Fu! Don't you get paid? He suddenly asked.
An Fu did not react. His mind was still on the conversation between the Emperor and the Flower Concubine. If this matter was not resolved properly, he would be beheaded!
Oh, oh! Therefore, he was caught off guard and only responded vaguely.
However, Hanba misunderstood his snort and thought that he agreed with his words.
Thus, Hanba was shocked. A dignified second-grade eunuch actually didn't have a salary? Whose fault was it? He didn't receive his salary? Or did he not want money?
Therefore, Hanba was extremely curious. He asked," Who doesn't pay you?"
What? No! Emperor! An Fu replied in a panic.
Thus, the emperor was even more confused. He didn't pay?
Han Ba's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. An Fu was his favorite subordinate, but his subordinate was actually being treated like this. As the emperor, he was kept in the dark.
He had the responsibility to protect the servants who were loyal to him.
Who was so daring? Hanba was angry. This kind of thing had hurt his dignity. It was no different from firing a cannon at him. He was being beaten up and looked at his master. This kind of thing actually didn't give him face.
Hanba roared angrily, stunning An Fu. He couldn't help but tremble, thinking that he couldn't hide it. When he heard Hanba barking like a dog, Hanba already knew.
His legs went limp and he could no longer stand. He could only obediently admit that he had heard the conversation in the inner chamber while standing in the hall of Concubine Hua Palace.
However, An Fu was determined to defend himself. He didn't intentionally eavesdrop. He just came to pass the message and wait for the emperor's reply.
