Chapter 220 Ill-gotten Gains
Yuxiu thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out who in the palace would want to harm her family's lives.
However, since these people said they wanted to return the money, they naturally have to contact that person.
Yuxiu thought about it, then went back and left a letter for her parents, explaining where she was going, and then stayed here, ready to take advantage of the situation.
However, when Yuxiu followed the man to the end, she found that the man was Eunuch Xing who served the emperor.
Eunuch Xing was very dissatisfied with the failure of this mission. When he took the wooden box handed back by the young eunuch, his face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
"Crack!"
He smashed the wooden box to the ground fiercely, and stared at the young eunuch in front of him with his old eyes, the fat on his face was squeezed together, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Since you have received the money, you have to do the job. It's just that this is something that cannot be put on the table. Isn't it said that Yunlan Pavilion is full of experts? There must be something wrong..."
The wooden box was smashed open by the blow, and the silver bills inside were scattered all over the ground. Yuxiu looked at them from a distance and saw that there were at least ten of them.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. She never thought that her family of peasants were actually quite valuable.
Because this matter was not handled properly, the young eunuch was scolded by Eunuch Xing but he dared not say a word. He could only shrink his neck and lower his head, silently enduring it all.
Finally, the old man was probably tired of scolding, so he went back to his room to get some silver bills and threw them to the young eunuch.
"Wait a little while before you go. I don't believe that they would not be tempted by so many banknotes."
Eunuch Xing said with hatred:
"By the way, tell that person to do his job well after receiving the money. If he messes up this time, he will never be able to stay in the capital again!"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The young eunuch hurriedly bent down and picked up the wooden box again, put the silver bills in his hand into it, and after paying his respects to Eunuch Xing, he bowed and left.
When Yuxiu saw Eunuch Xing take out the thick stack of silver bills again, something moved her heart and she immediately put the bow and arrow in her hand back into the space.
It seems that the old man has made a lot of money in the palace over the years. He can easily take out so many banknotes. Last time in Jiaoshan County, his nephew and brother lived a luxurious life of debauchery.
It's all ill-gotten gains anyway, so it would be a waste not to take it.
Yuxiu stood out from the darkness and just as she was about to go over, she felt a pair of eyes falling on her.
She was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a thin young man standing behind a big tree not far away. When he saw that she had discovered him, he not only did not dodge, but also winked at her and then left.
The man breathed very lightly and moved very steadily. If he hadn't intended to avoid her, Yuxiu would never have been able to spot him.
It seems that this is also a master.
Eunuch Xing had returned to his room. Yuxiu hesitated for a moment, but still chased after the young man.
The young man took Yuxiu through the palace for a while, and when he stopped again, Yuxiu was speechless for a long time.
It turned out that this place was not some other place, but the residence of Crown Prince Qi Siyuan, where she had visited several times.
"Please come in, young lady. His Highness is waiting for you inside."
When the young man saw Yuxiu following him, he smiled and made a gesture to invite her in.
Yuxiu did have a lot of questions that she wanted to clarify, so she didn't hesitate and immediately nodded and entered the yard.
Qi Siyuan had already prepared hot tea in the study. When he saw Yuxiu come in, he stood up calmly and asked Yuxiu to sit down at the desk.
"Come and taste my new tea. I asked my father for it and left it for you."
Placing a cup of hot tea next to Yuxiu's hand, Qi Siyuan also sat down on the chair on the other side.
"I was thinking of meeting you outside today to discuss something, but I didn't expect you to come into the palace by yourself."
Qi Siyuan sighed, because Yuxiu had quietly entered his palace several times. Although she always brought him good news, it was an indisputable fact that his palace was not well guarded.
So some time ago he replaced a new group of secret guards. These people were trained by the Secret Guard Camp and were prepared to be used by the newly appointed emperor in the future.
But he is now the crown prince. As long as he doesn't make any serious mistakes, it will only be a matter of time before he ascends the throne.
This was also approved by the emperor, so he has many experts around him now. He was also afraid that Yuxiu would not be able to come in in the future, so he thought about finding time to go out and talk to her about this matter.
But the secret guard sent out to keep an eye on Eunuch Xing soon came back to report that Yuxiu was also there and it seemed that she knew something.
Qi Siyuan naturally knew Yuxiu's ability, so he immediately asked someone to stop her and bring her over.
"This tea...is not bad."
Yuxiu took the teacup, took a sip, and placed it on the table. However, she thought that the tea was specially reserved for her, so she couldn't be ungrateful, so she complimented him against her will.
She thought it was something good, but it was just some ordinary tea that tasted very ordinary to her.
However, in this dynasty, this tea is naturally considered top-notch compared to the crudely made ones outside.
There is a lot of tea in her small supermarket. Just take out a can and throw it into the mud.
Yuxiu thought that she would bring out some tea leaves next time she had the chance, but now was not the time to talk about that, it was more important to talk about business first.
"Thank you for your help last night. On behalf of the entire Xu family, I would like to thank you for saving my life."
Yuxiu stood up and bowed to Qi Siyuan.
Although she would not let anything happen to her family, she had to accept this favor.
"Miss Xu, there's no need to be so polite. This is just a coincidence."
Qi Siyuan was very gentlemanly and gave him a fake support before telling him the whole story.
He had said before that the matter of the Xu family handing over the recipe for the kang was reported to the emperor by Jingzhao Yin Lord Yao.
This time, when it snowed, everyone said that the kang was very useful. In order to reward the Xu family for such selfless behavior, the emperor personally wrote a couplet and planned to have it framed and sent to the Xu family in a few days.
If the emperor wanted to know a person's information, naturally someone would go and investigate carefully. It was for this reason that Eunuch Xing noticed the Xu family.
"His brother and nephew were out there bullying others and died in mysterious circumstances. The information submitted by the Xu family this time just happened to expose the information about you and your daughter entering the city..."
