Wang himself escorted Eunuch Li outside the shop, watched him get on the sedan and leave, and then returned to the shop.
"Shopkeeper, what should I do with the furs that Eunuch Li sent me?" a waiter asked.
Wang thought for a while and said: "Put the things away first, store them well, and do not sell them to outsiders. We will pretend that we have never received this batch of things."
"The young man will send those wooden boxes to the warehouse in the backyard for storage." The boy said.
Wang himself nodded.
The man went to move the wooden boxes, and Wang Zijin went back to the back and came to the main room in the backyard.
As soon as he came in, he said to the people in the room: "Something happened. Zhezi from Datong has entered the palace. Not only that, some Jin Yiwei went to Datong to check our tiger flag."
When the young man in the room heard this, he stood up with a loud noise and asked eagerly: "Is the news reliable?"
"The person who sent this news is an eunuch in the palace." Wang said on his own.
The young and strong man said to Wang Zizi: "It seems that I can't stay here anymore. Help me prepare a fast horse. I will go back to Lingqiu now and bring this news back to the boss."
After hearing this, Wang Ziji shook his head and said: "You just rushed to the capital from Datong. The journey has been very hard. If you want to go back now, your body will definitely be unable to bear it. How about this, you stay and rest for two days before going back. I will arrange for someone to send the message back."
The young and strong man hesitated for a moment, then thought that the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in the capital also had channels for transmitting news, and then said: "Well, I will listen to you and stay here for now, but you have to send the news back as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to return to Datong. You will stay in the shop for the next two days. I will have people deliver the food to you. If nothing happens, don't leave the yard." Wang himself warned.
The young and muscular man in the room nodded.
Wang Ziyi then retreated from the house.
Eunuch Li on the other side sat in a sedan chair and came all the way to Wei Zhongxian's house outside the palace.
Some powerful eunuchs in the palace would buy a courtyard outside the palace to live in. Wei Zhongxian held the East Factory and could enter and leave the palace freely. When he had nothing to do, he spent most of his time in the house outside the palace.
As a member of Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Li was searched by the people guarding outside the house as soon as he entered the house, and then was put into the house.
"Father-in-law."
Seeing Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Li saluted.
Wei Zhongxian was leaning against the quilt, with a leather blanket covering his calves. He casually placed the tureen in his hand on the kang table next to him, raised his eyelids and asked, "Have all the things been delivered?"
"If you want to return to your father-in-law, send them all." Eunuch Li said respectfully.
Wei Zhongxian reached out and pinched a handful of melon seeds in the dish on the kang table, and said lightly: "Did the shopkeeper Wang say anything?"
"He didn't say anything. He just accepted the things and returned a banker's ticket." As he said this, Eunuch Li took out a banker's ticket from his sleeve and placed his hands respectfully on the kang table.
Wei Zhongxian raised his eyelids and took a look, and said: "It's okay. If you know that you took something and returned the money, they are considered sensible. Just accept it!"
A serving eunuch came up from the side and put away the meeting tickets on the kang table.
Eunuch Li continued: "According to your instructions, I collected their money and told them the news about Jin Yiwei going to Datong."
"What was Shopkeeper Wang's expression like when he found out?" Wei Zhongxian asked casually.
Eunuch Li said: "I didn't see anything, and the younger one specifically mentioned that there was rebellion in Datong, but the shopkeeper said he didn't know anything about it."
"Hmph, if you really do something rebellious, then just wait and be punished by the nine tribes!" Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly.
As the eunuch of the palace and the people close to Tianqi, he would not tolerate any rebellion.
Eunuch Li said respectfully at this time: "Eunuch, I have been out of the palace for a long time. If I don't go back, I'm afraid someone will find fault."
Unlike big eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian who could freely enter and leave the palace, he was just a small eunuch inside the palace and could not stay outside the palace for a long time. Even leaving the palace required permission from his superiors before he could leave the palace.
"Okay, you can go back to the palace!" Wei Zhongxian waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
Eunuch Li hurriedly bowed and said, "I'll take my leave, little one."
After saying that, he left the room.
Only Wei Zhongxian and the little eunuch serving on the side were left in the room again.
Wei Zhongxian took a mouthful of melon seeds on the plate, turned his head and said to the eunuch next to him: "Go and ask why Xu Dahua hasn't come yet. Could it be that we are still being asked to wait for him?"
There was a hint of irritation in his tone when he spoke.
The young eunuch said respectfully: "Yes, I will go out and investigate now."
However, before he could leave the room, he saw a thug from the house guard walking in, bowing to Wei Zhongxian and saying, "Eunuch, Mr. Xu is here."
"Hmph." Wei Zhongxian snorted and said immediately, "Bring him in!"
Not long after, an official wearing civilian uniform walked in, stood in front of Wei Zhongxian, bowed and saluted, and at the same time said: "I would like to send my regards to my father-in-law."
"Why are you here so late?" Wei Zhongxian didn't even raise his eyes when he spoke.
Xu Dahua hurriedly confessed: "Please don't blame me, father-in-law. As soon as the official received the news, he wanted to rush over, but he was stopped by the right servant. He was not allowed to leave the Criminal Department and was not released until he was on duty."
Hearing this reason, Wei Zhongxian didn't want to blame Xu Dahua, so he said: "Okay, let's forget about it this time. After all, you didn't mean it, so our family won't care about you anymore."
"I thank my father-in-law for your forgiveness." Xu Dahua saluted again.
Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and pointed to a seat in the room and said: "Stop standing, sit down and serve him tea."
The latter sentence was said to the internal supervisor on the side.
Soon, a cup of brewed hot tea was brought to Xu Dahua's hands.
Xu Dahua took the hot tea and did not drink it. Instead, he put it on the square table at hand. Then he looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "My father-in-law is so anxious to find me. Is there anything I need to do?"
Wei Zhongxian picked up the tureen on the Kang table, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Have you heard about Datong?"
"My father-in-law, are you talking about the rebellion of the governor of Datong and the commander-in-chief?" Xu Datong asked cautiously.
Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Who did you hear to say that the governor of Datong and the general army conspired to rebel? It's just nonsense."
As he spoke, he patted the Kang table in front of him with his hand.
Xu Dahua, who was sitting on the chair, said: "My father-in-law doesn't know anything. It has been spread outside the palace. It is said that the governor of Datong and the general of the Datong army colluded with a Datong business and committed an act that was not rebellious, but Datong was Inspector Wang Xinyi discovered it and wrote a memorial."
"It's this damn Donglin Party again." Wei Zhongxian's face darkened.
Neither the palace nor the cabinet said that the governor of Datong and the commander-in-chief were treasonous. There had been rumors of treason outside. He understood that the news behind this must be deliberately spread by the Donglin Party, because that Wang Xinyi was the Donglin Party. people.
