The guests and hosts are seated. Tong Guan is the inner yellow gate of the palace. Although he is a eunuch, it is an unattainable status for the Liu family. It does not mean that the Liu family is inferior to Tong Guan. An inner yellow gate is not worth it.

The Liu family mobilized troops and mobilized people. But what the Liu family is most worried about now is the difficulty in conveying news from the palace.

My daughter has been in the palace for many years, and the letters she has exchanged can be counted on one hand. The Liu family has no idea what is going on in the palace.

Tong Guan's appearance brought Liu Baosheng all the news he desperately wanted to know.

Tong Guan is nearly forty years old, and he has wasted ten years in the court. If this experience cannot make him mature, Tong Guan deserves his bad fate. But he is not such a person. He observes words and emotions, understands things from his heart, and these methods of doing things for others are all

Very skillful. After Tong Guan sat down, he first took out a piece of jewelry that Mr. Liu had taken from home, a white jade pendant. Liu Baosheng recognized it at a glance as belonging to his daughter. He trembled and held it in his hand, feeling good about it.

Duo sighed. Only then was it confirmed that Tong Guan's identity was indeed that he came from the palace on behalf of his youngest daughter.

After listening to the news Tong Guan brought from the palace, the chief steward Feng Shicai had established a relationship with him, but the chief steward's attitude was ambiguous and he only assigned Liu an inner-huangmen to serve around him.

"What, 20,000 yuan, just given to a boy?"

Han Dahu drank some wine and got a little drunk. He heard that so much money was spent to buy his sister-in-law only a servant. It was not worth it. He felt that he had lost money to his grandma's family. He was right to have such thoughts. After all, for ordinary people,

Twenty thousand guan is an unimaginable amount of wealth. Even a wealthy businessman cannot easily come up with such a sum of money. But he should never, absolutely should not demote a prostitute.

It's so unbearable that I simply use the word "little guy" to describe it.

Tong Guan, who was sitting opposite his father-in-law, was also an unfavorable young man and was staring at him with an unkind expression.

Liu Baosheng said with a fierce face: "What nonsense are you talking about!" After speaking, he cupped his hands with Tong Guan and said, "My son-in-law is a village man in the mountains. He doesn't know the depth of the palace. Please ask Tong Guan Haihan."

"Mr. Liu is serious. Now that Tong is working for the noble man, and Mr. Liu is the biological father of the noble man, how can there be any reason for the master to apologize?" Tong Guan's eyes just passed over the faces of Liu Baosheng and Han Dahu, and he had already seen them.

It came out of Liu Baosheng’s thoughts.

Although the words were spoken by his son-in-law, could they not be Liu Baosheng’s own thoughts?

Otherwise, why didn't Liu Baosheng just scold Han Dahu directly?

Tong Guan felt that it was necessary to teach Liu Baosheng about the rules of the palace. A general who did not understand the rules of the palace games at all, even if he was prosperous in the officialdom, would not understand the danger behind the palace wall.

As for... Han Dahu, he was just a fool and was not in his eyes.

Tong Guan smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, I'm afraid you don't know many people in the palace, and I might be suspicious of you, but I have some words from the bottom of my heart. Please don't dislike me, Gong Liu."

"Appreciate further details!"

Liu Baosheng continued: "Liu is outside the palace. He has heard a lot about the taboos in the palace and has almost no real knowledge. I would like to ask the Tongguan to clarify his doubts."

"The palace is no more dangerous than outside the palace. Many times, the manager and the nobles have expressed their attitude with the same look and a word that is neither serious nor serious. Life and death can also be in an instant. Manager Feng sent people around him to come to Liu Guiren's side.

, has already shown his attitude. Twenty thousand yuan may seem like a lot, but Manager Feng may really look down on it. What he values ​​more is Liu Guiren's status in the hearts of the officials." Tong Guan explained.

Liu Baosheng suddenly realized: "That's it." Liu Baosheng, who was still worried about spending money to find a good supporter for his daughter, at this moment, the sadness between his brows disappeared a lot.

Tong Guan continued: "Now that the noble man is under the care of General Manager Feng in the palace, there is no need to worry about his safety. It stands to reason that having Austrian aid outside the palace is even more powerful. I apologize for my mistake. Mr. Liu and his two virtuous sons-in-law are in Bian.

Not only was Liang unable to help the noble man, but he did things so arbitrarily that I couldn't see his purpose, which is really puzzling."

"What did they do in the capital?" Liu Baosheng couldn't tell that Tong Guan was dissatisfied with the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law. But to provoke dissension, I'm afraid it didn't count. It just showed Tong Guan's attitude. Qin Wenguang and Cheng Zhijie seemed to be in the capital.

It is a disservice to my daughter and causes dissatisfaction among those around her.

Tong Guan said with a smile: "The eldest son is in love with Fengyue and travels among scribes all day long. Of course, we are laymen in the way of learning. We are laymen and have no comment. The second son goes to and fro between the generals and friends. He is very prestigious. But Liu Gong also

You know, the Empress Dowager is from the general family, and the Queen Mother is from the Shilin family. I am afraid that the two young masters are in danger of being deceived."

At this point, Tong Guan felt that it was almost done.

He stood up and prepared to leave. In fact, he also knew that he couldn't sit down any longer. Liu Baosheng's face was so dark that he could play Bao Gong. If he sat down again, he would be asking for trouble.

After sending Tong Guan away, Liu Baosheng couldn't bear it any longer. He picked up a tea cup from the table and smashed it angrily. He roared: "You bastards, I asked them to help, but they didn't help. Hurry up."

Send someone to bring these two worthless things back."

Before, he only knew a little about his daughter's situation from the letters exchanged between his son-in-law, but now he got more information from Tong Guan. I'm afraid this person meant to keep the Liu family away from Bianliang. Although Liu Qingjing is favored now, the official

The family has not yet been personally in charge, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have the final say in the palace. The Liu family is jumping up and down, which can easily cause resentment.

In addition, Qin Wenguang and Cheng Zhijie are not people with extraordinary intelligence. I am afraid they have been tricked around in Bianliang now. Their relatives are also divided into three, six or nine. How can ordinary generals like the Liu family compare with the Cao family in their tricks?

, Empress Dowager Xiang’s natal family is from the prime minister’s family, how to compare?

Glancing at the drunken and hazy third son-in-law, Liu Baosheng sighed: "Hateful!"

I don’t know what he hated, but early the next morning, Liu Baosheng called his third son-in-law and asked: "Seeing that the official day has arrived, why hasn't Li Kui come for so long?"

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law has notified him and lent the horse to Li Kui. Today is the Lantern Festival. He should have arrived as soon as he said. He may live in the city. I will go look for him." Seeing that his father-in-law looked wrong, Han Dahu said

It seems that he remembered that he met someone yesterday when he accompanied his father-in-law. By the way, it was a eunuch in the palace.

Then he couldn't remember...

The fear of the fragment immediately enveloped his whole body, and Han Dahu, who had a strong desire for survival, volunteered to go to the city to find Li Kui. The poor inspection man went out early in the morning on the Lantern Festival, wondering where Li Kui would go.

Isn't it because he won't come?

Han Dahu thought it was impossible. Everyone in Yishui County was a man of his word, and Li Kui would never break an appointment. He emboldened himself, looked up and saw the sign of an inn, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he went to the inn to find someone.

There are really few decent inns in Linyi City, and Li Kui is considered a rich man. I'm afraid he won't go to a big car shop. He can only stay at Datong Shop for one night, and he can't afford to lose this person.

So, he went to look for several inns on the main street. He couldn't find the first one, so he was not discouraged and went to the second one. Fortunately, he saw Li Kui sitting in the lobby of the inn eating and drinking.

So uncomfortable.

Han Dahu immediately rushed to Li Kui, sat on the opposite side, and said to Xiao'er: "Xiaoer, please add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Brother Li Kui, why don't you go home?"

Han Dahu's angry look seemed to be scolding Li Kui for treating him as an outsider. The key point was that he and Han Dahu had nothing to be polite about, but the Liu family was different. What's more, in the corner opposite him, there were two tables of people and one table.

There were only two people at the other table. There were six people at the other table. The two people were Tong Guan and the woman who was driving his men. The six people were mostly his men and were eating. He was fighting with Sang Hongye with big eyes and small eyes when his line of sight was suddenly blocked.

, and found out that it was Han Dahu who came for him, so he gave up.

Tong Guan was stunned. Han Dahu was carrying him on his back and didn't notice him at all. However, anyone who had passed his eyes would be unforgettable in this life. What's more, they had just met yesterday. How could he forget? He was face to face with Li Kui.

Is he Liu Guiren’s brother-in-law?

Han Dahu?

It seemed that he was such a person. At this moment, even he was confused. Could it be that the Liu family and Li Kui were also close relatives?

Li Kui dropped the mutton ribs in his hand and glanced left and right. The waiter handed over the handkerchief with great discernment and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The waiter in Da Song's shop was so high-quality that Li Kui didn't even have time to say thank you.

He disappeared into the dining hall. After wiping his hands, Li Kui said to Han Dahu: "Brother Han came just in time. I'm going to visit Uncle Liu here. I'm still hesitant about how to ask for directions?"

"Brother, I'm so surprised that my father and I have been asking why I didn't see you here. If my brother hadn't been idle, wouldn't it have delayed the festival?" Han Dahu ate and stuffed himself for a while, and Li Kui went to the guest room to take away the things before going out.

For a moment, he saw Tong Guan eating slowly in the corner and was stunned.

Li Kui urged: "Brother, let's go."

Han Dahu recognized Tong Guan, bowed slightly, and followed Li Kui out. All this was seen in Li Kui's eyes, and then he became alert. It couldn't be that Tong Guan came to Yi, but because of the Liu family, right?

Otherwise, why would he, a eunuch, come to Jingdong East Road from Bianliang?

"Brother, do you know the middle-aged customer in the corner of the dining hall?" Li Kui asked casually.

Han Dahu was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Yesterday, he came to my father-in-law's house. Brother and I were drunk at that time, and I don't know what he said. When I woke up today, my father-in-law looked very ugly to me. I can't guarantee that I was offended yesterday.

That guy, but I just can't remember, how did I offend him? I saluted him just now, but he didn't even look at me, which is quite hateful."

Li Kui was silent, he wanted to tell Han Dahu that you were not the only one who offended him, I was offended too. The feelings of hatred and hatred spread between the two of them. Li Kui was not as upset as Han Dahu, but said angrily: "This damn eunuch can't stay in the palace properly.

What are you going to do if you stay here and come out to cause harm to others?"

At first, Han Dahu thought Li Kui was speaking for him, but then he thought, something was wrong! How did Li Kui know that Tong Guan belonged to the eunuch, even if he knew that Tong Guan had a beard?

He is an outlier among his eunuchs. I am afraid that there is only such a thing among the palaces in the entire Song Dynasty?

"How did my brother know that he was a eunuch?" Han Dahu asked curiously.

Li Kui curled his lips and said disdainfully: "On the road, Tong Guan's men laughed at me for not knowing how to ride a horse. Then when he showed up, he spoke neither of men nor women. Who else could he be if he were not a eunuch?" Li Kui was also a little blind, and the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.

, but the problem is, he doesn’t want to be with Tong Guan at all, okay?

Ridiculing Li Kui?

Han Dahu imagined the scene and suddenly asked worriedly: "Have you ever taken action?"

Li Kui laughed and said: "Brother, if we take action, where will they be now?"

Han Dahu nodded with lingering fear, cursing himself for his naivety in his heart. If he really took action, Tong Guan would probably disappear from the world without even being able to see his father-in-law.
