The carriage left the door and the wheels rolled forward.
After walking a short distance, Han Qi seemed to recall something. He lifted the carriage curtain and asked the servant driving the carriage, "Is there any news from Mao Qiangguang?"
After the incident happened, Han Qi contacted Mao Qiangguang immediately.
If we were to ask who is the most critical person in this matter and who knows the most about it, it would be Mao Qiangguang.
Mao Qiangguang must know everything clearly, and we can get to the bottom of it by asking him.
However, Han Qi still hadn't been able to contact Mao Qiangguang. He didn't know if something had happened or if he was deliberately not contacting him.
If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter...
Han Qi's face turned a little ugly, but he knew in his heart that it was unlikely that Mao Qiangguang would get into trouble. After all, the Jinyiwei had already released the news that his brother was falsely accused, so Mao Qiangguang would naturally be fine, otherwise the situation would be reversed.
After hearing Han Qi's question, his subordinate quickly said, "There's been no news yet. The people we sent to contact Lord Mao can't reach him now. The Jinyiwei Yamen can't see Mao Qiangguang, and his family said he hasn't returned home for two days."
Hearing this, Han Qi frowned, said nothing, and simply lowered the curtain.
Perhaps things are worse than he thought, but at this point, it is useless to think too much. He should go to the eunuch's office first to see what the situation is.
Han Qi arrived at the place quickly.
After Han Qi got off the car, he was welcomed in.
This is a very spacious house. It does not look luxurious from the outside, even very simple, but the interior decoration is very luxurious.
The high-quality wool blankets on the ground are very valuable not only in Yangzhou but also in the north.
In recent years, a few of these wool blankets have appeared sporadically on the market, but most people can't afford them. However, in the eunuch's yamen, such wool blankets are actually used as carpets, which shows how extravagant they are.
The furnishings in the house are also extraordinary, with various antique decorations, and even the paintings hanging on the walls are works of famous artists.
Han Qi turned a blind eye to these.
It was common knowledge that this old eunuch had made a lot of money in the past few years, and the Han family had given him quite a bit of it.
For Han Qi, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
The Han family told Han Qi this truth when he was very young.
Han Qi has grown up and done so many things, so this theory is very applicable to him. As long as things can be solved with money, they are all small things.
It's just a matter of money, these people are not short of money at all.
The most troublesome problems are those that cannot be solved with money.
A young eunuch came out of the room, supporting an old eunuch.
After seeing Han Qi, the old eunuch smiled and said, "So you are the eldest son of the Han family. Come sit down, we have some fine Jinggang green tea here, try it."
Han Qi smiled, nodded, and sat down.
The tea was served quickly.
After they both took a sip from their teacups, Han Qi said, "Eunuch Zhang should know why I'm here, right? So I won't beat around the bush. I wonder if Eunuch Zhang can help?"
After hearing this, the old eunuch's expression became serious.
He reached down to put down the teacup in his hand, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair. He said, "This time, the one who made the move was Xu Xianchun. As far as my family knows, this guy is not to be trifled with. His family is considered royal, and his grandfather is the imperial son-in-law, the Duwei Xu Congcheng."
"Xu Xianchun is shrewd, cunning, and ruthless. Furthermore, he enjoys the deep trust of His Majesty, so he naturally has no scruples when it comes to doing things. He is also arrogant and domineering. Dealing with him will be difficult, and things will be very difficult to accomplish!"
Han Qi has already come to his door, so Zhang Wei naturally knows that he can't beat around the bush.
This is not the first time that these people have worked together. If they beat around the bush, it means rejection and is very hurtful. It basically creates a grudge and it will be difficult to deal with in the future.
It is better to tell the other party the truth clearly: if it can be done, it can be done; if it cannot be done, it cannot be done. Sometimes this will not hurt the relationship as much as possible.
After all, it's not that I won't do it for you, it's just that I can't. Don't shirk responsibility or beat around the bush, and people will actually think you're capable. There won't be any grudges.
After hearing Zhang Wei's words, Han Qi nodded and said, "We have also found out about this."
As for what Zhang Wei said about it being difficult to handle, Han Qi didn't take it to heart at all.
This is not a bad thing. It is not easy to do, but it does not mean that it cannot be done.
What Zhang Wei said was nothing more than asking for some benefits, no problem.
Han Qi said, "I heard that Eunuch Zhang wants to retire?"
"Yes." Zhang Wei nodded, and said with emotion: "I'm old, and my body is not in good shape. I have served the royal family for so many years. Although I am reluctant to leave, my old bones are useless. When the time comes, I will retire, live a good life, and find a good place to bury myself."
Han Qi nodded and said with a smile, "I wonder what Eunuch Zhang thinks of Jiangnan?"
"As the saying goes, life is meant to grow old in the south of the Yangtze River. I have a nice house in Hangzhou. It's not big, with a five-story courtyard. The seller is selling it directly. If Eunuch Zhang is willing, how about I make some connections for you?"
"I wonder what the price is?" Zhang Wei looked at Han Qi and said with a smile.
