I arranged Lin Sheng in a small courtyard near Tingtao Pavilion, which was originally a place to receive important guests. The environment is elegant and particularly quiet.
I arranged several captains and a small flag guard outside the hospital. In the courtyard were people from Dongchang. Lin Liu and Lin Qi were in the room. The doctor was carefully boiling the medicine. When he saw us coming in, he said, "Two adults , father-in-law wakes up!"
We were overjoyed and hurried into the inner room. Lin Sheng was lying on the couch, his face was pale, with a hint of blood, and his eyelids were slightly opened. When he saw us, he immediately opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand. Liao Jianzhong quickly stepped forward and shook hands. She held his hand and said, "Brother Shou Tao, you're awake!"
Lin Sheng forced a smile, his voice was a little soft, and said: "Thank you, I am still alive!" Liao Jianzhong laughed and said: "Brother Shou Tao is made of steel and iron, this little skin injury is nothing. You can rest up and recover in less than ten days." Today, you are still the famous Lin Sheng, Eunuch Lin!" Lin Sheng smiled and said, "Even with an iron body, you can't dodge iron balls. I really didn't expect that guy Ma Jing actually had a blunderbuss. Fortunately, he missed it a little, otherwise I really went to see the King of Hell.”
"You are careless. As the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. If you don't need to do it yourself in the future, just leave it to others. You are also the supervising eunuch of the East Factory, so there is no need to do everything yourself."
Lin Sheng gave a bitter smile and said: "Zhang Ying is not an outsider either. I actually wanted to send thank you and Mr. Liu, and I happened to meet Ma Jing. Eunuch Liu has always wanted to catch this person. I can't not catch him when I see him." , I don’t want to make such a big mistake.”
"Ma Jing doesn't know martial arts, so he probably won't be able to escape very far. We will go to sea to capture the documents and inspect all parts of the capital for strict interrogation. Zhang Ying, you can arrange this matter!" Liao Jianzhong said word by word.
I quickly said yes.
Lin Sheng sighed and said: "Originally, we are our brothers, so we really shouldn't kill them all, but our status makes it impossible for us not to do it. Life is really difficult. Sometimes I think, I will go to Nanjing to guard Ling may be a good way to get rid of all these troubles."
What he said was so emotional that I couldn't help but worry about what I was about to face!
Liao Jianzhong shook his head and said: "The four great masters of the inner court are in the prime of life. If you are asked to go to Nanjing to guard the mausoleum, it would be an insult to your talent." Lin Sheng smiled miserably and said: "I don't count, there are many people living there. Big shot." Liao Jianzhong nodded and said, "That's right. Although I'm not often in the palace, a lot of people from your East Factory did go there." Lin Sheng said "hmm" and said, "You are all mine. Friends, to be honest, Dongchang is a place of right and wrong. Although it was not very prosperous when Lord Hongzhi was there, life was still peaceful. Now that Xichang has been reestablished, I heard that Eunuch Jia is coming back from other places soon. In fact, Everyone knows very well that Eunuch Liu wants to monopolize power. Looking at other father-in-laws, how can we give up? Hey, I feel more and more powerless. "
I heard that Liu Jin was in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies with the intention of controlling the East Factory, so he promoted many people. As the saying goes, once the emperor is the same as the courtier, although Lin Sheng has been following Liu Jin, he was more or less pushed aside. I have always wanted to be the eunuch of the East Factory, but I never had the chance. But the restoration of the West Factory was a bit unexpected. Liao Jianzhong said: "Brother Shoudao, you don't have to take everything too seriously. There is always a conclusion on the right and wrong. No one dares to touch your position in the East Factory, not even Eunuch Liu. The same goes for him. He has to take care of so many things, so how can he pay attention to everything? After all, you have been in Dongchang for many years and have deep roots. It is you who controls the overall situation." Lin Sheng shook his head and smiled: "To be honest, I really want to leave. Here, go to Nanjing. If Nanjing is not suitable, Hangzhou is also possible. For me, fame, fortune and wealth are all fleeting, no matter what, I am injured and it is time to rest. I have been too tired these years! Courtiers, we still understand this truth." He said, like an old man, very different from the high-spirited man outside the Great Wall.
I came out of the Zhenfu Department and wandered toward my new home alone. Thinking about what Liao Jianzhong said to me, I used to rest in Zhenfusi's building, but I felt that this new mansion was my home in the capital, and I was a little happy. Not long after, I returned home and saw that the front door was closed, but the corner door was open. I saw a woman leading a child just walking away. I didn’t think much, so I got off my horse at the door, and Manager Hu ran away from the corner door. He came over and said: "Master, you are back!" Seeing his attentive look, I was still a little unaccustomed to it, so I nodded and said: "I was busy late at Zhenfu Division last night. I wanted to rest today, so I didn't come back. Master How are you with Mr. San?" But in my heart, I thought that these two guys didn't come to look for me.
Manager Hu hurriedly said: "After you left, the third master was busy cleaning the house for most of the night. The uncle later went out and came back this morning!"
This guy is always mysterious and has no idea what he has done. While thinking about it, he entered the yard and saw Hardy sweeping the yard diligently. Several maids were pointing and whispering in the corridor with a smile.
Manager Hu coughed and said to me again: "The third brother is too hard-working, I can't persuade him. However, we should find some servants in the house." I nodded and said: "The third brother is a hard-working person and can't be idle at all. . However, you are right, we should find some servants here. In this way, it is up to you to arrange this matter. If you need anyone, feel free to recruit them!"
As he said that, he took out a banknote from his arms and said, "Keep this, it will be used as payment for our settlement!" Manager Hu took it carefully, opened it, and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, this house I will definitely arrange it for you, and when Madam comes in the future, I will leave it completely to her!"
I smiled and said, "I haven't gotten married yet, so you can take care of it for now!"
Hardy heard my voice and ran over quickly and said, "Second brother, you just came back?" His forehead was so busy that he was sweating. I patted his shoulder and said, "From now on, I will leave these things to others. Let’s do it. Where’s brother?”
"Sleeping in the house!"
"You are all taking turns today. Starting tomorrow, everyone will be on duty."
I entered the inner hall, and Ning Boyang came out rubbing his eyes and said: "Second brother, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"
"I have handled some things at the Zhenfu Division. Big brother and third brother. From now on, I have a lot more things to do. I must be too busy. Your Majesty, the commander, will give me a few more households. Tan Sheng, Ye Chengda , Lou Xian are all from a hundred households, and they will be in charge of various errands with Lu Song!"
Ning Boyang opened his eyes wide and said, "Tan Sheng? Ye Chengda? Is Ye Chengda a fugitive? Why are you back?" I nodded and said, "I'm confused too, but the court said they won't pursue the case anymore. We Don't get entangled." Hardy didn't mind, and said: "Second brother, you will take care of more and more people."
Ning Boyang suddenly became unhappy and muttered something in a low voice: "Anyone can be a hundred households, and we will do our best. Is this fair?" I did not answer directly, but talked about some things, and he lost interest. , I paused. I really couldn't bear to see him continue to be dull, so I smiled and said: "Brother, are you really angry?! Haha, I have good news to tell you, and third brother, from now on, you guys are trying to I’m here!”
"What? Try a hundred households? Really?" The two jumped up and said in unison. I nodded proudly, and the two of them pulled me like crazy and shouted.
After they calmed down, I, Mansi, adjusted: "We are brothers at home, and adults when we go out. We are also considered officials, so naturally we must have an official attitude. Although I am a Qianhu, my subordinate Ye Chengda is Liao It is indeed difficult to manage people like the commander. There is also Tan Sheng, Liu Eunuch's nephew, who will fly high sooner or later. As for Lou Xian, I am not too familiar with him, but Lu Song can be trusted, and the person I trust more is naturally It’s you!”
Ning Boyang said: "Second brother, don't worry about this. Third brother and I will definitely be your right-hand men. We will go forward and protect you in every situation!" I nodded and said, "I believe this, but I don't I hope my brothers will have nothing but suffering, so the credit will also be given to you, so do your best!"
Hardy smiled happily and said: "I never dreamed that I could be a hundred households. I know that this is all given by my second brother. I will definitely work hard with my eldest brother and win glory for my second brother!" We couldn't help but laugh.
