"Your Majesty, please don't say that. How dare I refuse such a thing?"
"That would be great. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Su Jie had just recovered from a serious illness. He bowed deeply and prepared to leave. Then he knelt down to receive the imperial edict personally approved by him and left.
With this will in hand, everything will go smoothly.
The facts proved to be true.
When Su Jie led Su Lie and others into the carpenter's room in the palace to pick up wood and materials, the leading steward had an obviously unhappy expression on his face. He saw that the patterns on the clothes of these people did not resemble those of the big palaces, and they looked like eunuchs from some unknown small palace.
"Our wood is extremely precious. Don't touch it, little eunuch. Otherwise, I won't be able to afford the compensation even if I sell you off!"
“…”
Su Jie had never heard such bold words since he founded the Evil House.
Ever since he built the evil mansion, he has done everything from burning to killing to robbing. However, precisely because he robs the rich and helps the poor, he has made many friends in the martial arts world. He has favors for everyone, and he knows many people in this martial arts world.
There are all kinds of people among them.
I have never seen anyone as arrogant as this manager. Not only does he speak harshly, but he also points fingers and glares at people, looking like he has bad intentions.
"Why, you're not leaving yet?"
"Someone, get these people out! No need to show any mercy, get them all out now!"
"yes."
The group of guards responded, and then formed a wall of flesh and stood in front of them with their eyes wide open, looking exactly like the steward.
Just as disgusting.
Su Jie raised his hand and put out an imperial edict.
The guards knelt down tremblingly and could barely speak. Their expressions turned towards the group of people, becoming even more fearful. They trembled and didn't know what to say.
The person in charge finally came to his senses.
"You, are you sent by His Majesty?"
This question made people want to laugh. Seeing that the guards and the managers had lost their arrogance and even looked a little cautious, the people in the Evil House were even more reluctant to speak.
"Your Majesty sent you. You're right. Otherwise, what is this imperial edict in your hand? Could it be that you took it while using the toilet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the evil man's house laughed so hard that they fell over.
The manager didn't dare to say a word. He couldn't agree or remain silent. If he spoke, wouldn't it be confirmed that he said the imperial edict was toilet paper? If he didn't say anything... If he didn't say anything and it got to the ears of His Majesty, wouldn't he be the first one to be beheaded?
"You, what are you doing here?"
"Didn't I tell you that it was sent by His Majesty? Are you blind or deaf?"
The servant behind him secretly poked Su Jie on the back. Su Jie also heard something was wrong, but he was too lazy to correct it.
"Then, His Majesty sent you here..."
"I was wondering if there was anything else we could ask for from your carpenter?"
The manager's attempt to get close to the emperor was choked, and he widened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. It was only when he saw the golden imperial edict that he could bear it.
He turned around and glared at the guards, then took a deep breath and spoke with a smile.
"Then please come in and take your pick. After all, I have a wide variety of woods and crafts here, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
He was also busy and directly handed the list given by Zhao Xin to the manager. The man read it carefully from beginning to end and then nodded silently, indicating that he understood.
To be honest, although this person is a bit sarcastic, he has comprehensive knowledge, except for his unlucky mouth!
"Well, I suggest you use... yes, that piece of wood leaning against the wall."
"That wood was imported from the south. It's made of fragrant wood, and its structure is solid. We've had someone test it, and it's so solid it won't break even if you hit it with a hammer."
Su Jie was not stupid. He had made up his mind before coming. He secretly brought a carpenter from his own house. The carpenter had traveled all over the world and knew everything, and he was especially familiar with all kinds of wood.
The carpenter just leaned forward to take a look at the piece of wood, his eyes lit up, then he walked forward, touched the material, and asked for a small portion from them.
People in the palace were generally very generous, so they should have cut off a small piece for their inspection. However, the steward looked at the piece of wood and seemed to have no intention of cutting it.
"Although this Heavenly Wood isn't very valuable, it's clearly priced. So, let's settle the bill."
Isn't it a bit too stingy to charge money for this little ingredient?
"It's not that His Majesty is using a carpenter. Boss, why don't we remember him and complain to His Majesty? It's so infuriating!"
The manager just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"His Majesty has stipulated that even a small portion of food must be paid for."
The carpenter from the evil man's house just shook his hands and took out two taels of silver from his pocket and put them on the table. A cold expression appeared on his face as he scratched the wood with the knife he carried with him.
"Just give it to me."
“Okay—”
The steward quickly sent the eunuch beside him to cut it for him. The eunuch quickly found a knife and skillfully cut off a piece and handed it to the carpenter.
