The housekeeper retreated, while Zhou Yi and Uncle Zhong did not move.
It can be seen that these two people can participate in the meetings of the General's Mansion.
Su Shi'en's influence was insignificant, and he might not even be able to reach the third rank by the time he retired.
If people want to listen, just listen, and don’t regret it later.
"On the way to Beijing to take the imperial examination, my husband captured a wanted criminal and rescued people from being persecuted by bandits."
Zhou Yi nodded. This really sounded like something someone could do.
"After returning to the capital, the rescued woman borrowed money from my husband. Not long ago, when she came to repay the money, she sent us a signal for help. That's when we realized she was a maid who had just been sent out of the palace."
Tie Dongming sat upright and listened very attentively.
Palace maids usually entered the palace at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and could leave the palace and return to their hometowns at the age of twenty-five.
There are basically only two options for them: one is to get married, but if they leave the palace at this age, most of the men they can marry are widowers, or they can become concubines.
There is also a second way, which is to enter the palace and teach etiquette to the daughters of official families.
The fact that Su Shien came to visit her on his own initiative showed that this palace maid had gotten herself into quite a bit of trouble.
As expected, Su Shien's next words made everyone present frown.
"According to the information provided by that palace maid, someone is offering a large sum of money to buy the identities of those who have already left the palace or are about to leave, and they are at risk of being silenced at any time."
"What did you say!"
Tie Dongming slapped the armrest and stood up suddenly. This matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly.
What he needs to do is to verify the situation first. If it is confirmed to be true, he needs to enter the palace immediately.
Zhou Yi and Uncle Zhong didn't say anything. They were actually quite regretful. Why didn't they leave with the housekeeper just now?
Su Shien glanced at them. It was too late to leave now. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it!
However, this old man wearing an eye patch caught Su Shien's attention.
His mind was working rapidly. This man's appearance was somewhat unique, as if someone had mentioned it to him.
A moment later...
Oh, that’s right!
Tiezhu seemed to have mentioned that there was a one-eyed uncle who was suspected to be a human trafficker. He said that he looked familiar, and his purpose was probably to trick him into mining because he was tall and strong.
At that time, he and Yu Ge'er were still in their hometown. This was the result of Tiezhu's own analysis, and it was not very credible.
Could it be that the one-eyed uncle is roughly equivalent to an old man wearing an eye patch?
No, he wanted to take a few more looks, go home and draw the person, and then show it to Tiezhu.
Tie Dongming whispered a few words to Zhou Yi, then turned around and found that Su Shien was quietly tricking Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong happened to get along quite well with the other person and showed great concern for Editor Su. He told him that since he had already entered the official career, he should have a servant with him when he went out.
Moreover, the servants should be strong, tall, sturdy and have a darker skin color, so that they will be intimidating when taken out.
Su Shien was surprised and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it. I only have one servant in my family, and he looks just like you described. It's all fate! I wonder when you are free. If you are free, please come to my house and I will introduce you to him."
Uncle Zhong clapped his hands excitedly, "What a coincidence! What a coincidence! No day is worse than today, and I happen to be free today!"
Tie Dongming was speechless. Uncle Zhong, I know you are anxious, but can you please not be so anxious for now?
The person in front of you is not just an ordinary young man, but a cunning little fox.
You've been exposed, and you're still secretly delighted?
These civil servants are so hateful. Each of them has a cunning mind, and their minds are as cunning as honeycomb coal.
He could see that Su Shien didn't care much about the palace maid matter at all.
When a problem is thrown to him, he has to take it over, find a way to solve it, and finally get the credit and share the profits with others.
Han Zeyu, who was queuing in the snack street, shouted across the air, "Just be content! Last year I gave you a great achievement for free!"
Han Zeyu held the hot rice cake in his hands and ate it happily while dipping it in sugar.
I don’t know how tempting this rice cake is, but Han Zeyu ate it faster and faster, showing off by not raising his head or opening his eyes.
With a "bang", the disadvantage of lowering your head and not looking at the road appeared, and you ended up bumping into someone else.
Han Zeyu was the first to complain. He grabbed the man across from him by the collar and accused him, "Can't you see where you're going? You knocked my rice cakes off my face. You have to compensate me for the rice cakes and sugar!"
The man was stunned by the yelling. Is this pretty boy joking?
Regardless of the fact that he didn't look at the road, he was the only one who dared to grab his collar and extort money.
The man wanted to push the scoundrel away, but although he looked quite weak, he was actually very strong.
Thinking of his mission, he looked at the people around him who were watching the fun, and the unreasonable pretty boy in front of him.
The man narrowed his eyes, then suddenly softened and apologized gently, "I'm sorry, little brother. I didn't mean to do that. If I knocked something over, I'd definitely pay for it, but I was in a hurry and didn't have any money on me..."
When Han Zeyu heard that this person was trying to find an excuse to shirk his debt, he immediately interrupted him and said with his hands on his hips, "Then go home and get the money. I'll follow you. Don't even think about shirking your debt!"
A dark glint flashed across the man's eyes. He forced a smile and said helplessly, "Since you don't trust me, little brother, then come with me!"
Han Zeyu pushed the man and urged him, "Stop talking nonsense and lead the way. Hey, is your home far away? You dare to bump into people when you go out without money?"
Han Zeyu is unyielding even when he is right, and he is cunning even when he is wrong, which makes the man very angry.
I thought to myself, just say whatever you want, you won’t have the chance to say it again in the future anyway.
You brought this upon yourself, so don't blame me when you get to the underworld.
Of course Han Zeyu wouldn't blame him. When it comes to scamming people, his family is professional.
My dear brother, you are the "destined one" I have been waiting for for an hour...
If it were before the end of the world, in Han Zeyu's eyes, this big brother would be a walking 500,000 yuan and a mobile treasury.
He didn't have that ability before, but he has it now.
Han Zeyu laughed obscenely in his heart: "Hehehe~ Big brother~ Don't be afraid~ Come to my bowl~"
Mr. Han, please respect yourself and don't forget that your dear husband is still reporting to a higher authority.
Tie Dongming asked Zhou Yi to take a team and follow Su Shien.
He wanted to go to the palace to ask the emperor for instructions to see if there were any omissions or substitutions among the eunuchs and palace maids who were about to be released from the palace.
Uncle Zhong also followed Su Shien. He had nothing to do now, so maybe he would see the child again today!
He was now obsessed with that black boy and was determined to find out by any means whether there was any scar on his back.
Tiezhu was watching over the store at home, lifting dumbbells with a look of resentment.
He wasn't allowed to go out, and his master didn't want to take him with him either. What happened to the number one disciple he was promised? Is this the treatment he received?
He needs to go out and gain experience; he doesn't want to stay at home and work behind closed doors.
He is not the master, and he has no interest in the "car".
