nine thousand years old

Chapter 43 Humiliation
The former Xiong Mansion is now the Su Mansion!
The pitch-black gate has been repainted and has a new look. The stone lion at the gate has also been replaced by someone. It stands in the sun, with fangs and sharp teeth, exuding an unconcealable majesty. The bricks and tiles on the courtyard wall have also been repaired and are neat .

Around the gate of the mansion, there are nearly a hundred people surrounded by mighty people. Although they are not wearing official uniforms, they all exude the impressive aura of being officials all the year round. The people around can guess that it is Chang'an. The big and small officials in the city.

"Who occupied the old Xiong's house? It's such a big show."

"Yes, so many officials have come."

"I've seen the one at the front. It seems to be the servant of the household department. I have relatives who work under him. It is said that he is a fifth-rank official."

"Even a fifth-rank member is here, this person is not simple..."

The common people talked a lot, and there was a trace of anticipation and fear in their hearts towards the mysterious owner of the mansion, and they took the initiative to retreat a few feet back, not daring to lean too far forward.

Whoa!
A moment later, a black carriage was slowly approaching from the end of the street under the guard of nearly Baitengxiang camp guards. The waiting officials all raised their heads with nervous expressions on their faces.

The people also looked over curiously.

"What are you doing?"

After a while, the carriage came to the front, and the two guards stepped forward with arrogance on their faces. While driving away the plainclothes officials, they shouted,

"This is the mansion of Eunuch Su, the chief executive, can you make trouble? Are you impatient? Get lost!"

"cough……"

The officials didn't expect that the guard didn't recognize him, and his face was full of embarrassment. He looked at the head servant, a thin old man with a forehead line on his face, coughed awkwardly, stepped forward and said,
"This general, this old man is Liu Chengwen, the servant of the household department. Behind him are some colleagues in robes. Hearing that Eunuch Su moved to a new house, he came here to congratulate him. Please inform Eunuch Su."

"It turns out that it is Mr. Liu, the servant of the household department. If you are disrespectful and disrespectful, you should report to him for his humble position."

After a while, the guard came to the carriage and reported everything here in detail.

"Our family knows!"

There was a hint of disdain at the corner of Su Hanyun's mouth, he didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage, and said coldly,

"Since they are here to congratulate them on their housewarming, we can't neglect them. However, we must remember their names so that our family can thank them one by one in the future."

"Understandable!"

With schadenfreude on their faces, the two guards turned back to the household servant Zhou Chengwen, clasped their fists and said,

"Eunuch Su appreciates your kindness. Eunuch Su said that in the future, we will thank you one by one, so you must leave your names and register at the gate."

"Uh……"

Zhou Chengwen frowned a little. It was normal to thank him for the visit, but this Eunuch Su was so flamboyant that he didn't even know how to get out of the carriage to show his face?This makes people lose face, especially when there are so many people watching.

The rest of the officials also frowned slightly, with uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

"This general, can you tell Eunuch Su, I want to congratulate you in person..."

Zhou Chengwen hesitated and said in a low voice.

"This……"

Before the guard could utter some tangled words, he heard the sound of a crisp whip from behind, and the black carriage that Su Hanyun was riding passed by with a clatter, bypassed the main entrance, and entered the mansion through the side door.

"Zhou Shilang, I'm sorry, Eunuch Su has already left."

"This……"

Zhou Chengwen's face became more and more embarrassing, and he was a little bit embarrassed, but he didn't want to say much. According to the request of the guard, he was going to enter the mansion to register, but the guard didn't even open the door. On the paper, said,
"let's start!"

Zhou Chengwen's face became more and more ugly. This Su Hanyun didn't pay attention to people at all, and he didn't even let people in. He snorted coldly in his heart and said gloomyly,
"Household Minister Zhou Chengwen, congratulations to Eunuch Su on his housewarming!"

Then he casually threw some of the small profits he brought on the table.

The guard didn't seem to see his face, opened the gift in front of him, counted it again, and shouted loudly,
"The servant of the household department, Zhou Chengwen, congratulates Eunuch Su on his housewarming. Gifts include a jar of 40-year-old colored glaze, a black iron sword, and four bolts of silk and satin..."

The guard's voice was loud, and the surrounding people could hear it clearly, and there was a burst of whispering and strange eyes.

"Master Hubu, this gift is not light, where did he get so much money?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he is a member of the household department, what is this little money, I guess he has a lot of money!"

"It's not ashamed for such a high-ranking official to give a gift to an eunuch."

The voice of discussion fell into his ears intermittently, and Zhou Chengwen's face became darker and darker. It felt like someone took off his pants and stood in the sun watching.

As for the other officials, their expressions were extremely ugly.

This Su Hanyun is too much!

It was clearly intended to humiliate everyone.

"Written by the Ministry of Officials, Bai Qing, congratulations to Eunuch Su on his housewarming, presents, one South China Sea Night Pearl, sixteen black pearls, three sets of calligraphy and painting by a former famous general..."

Immediately afterwards, there was another voice, and the faces of the people became even more livid. This trip was really a bad one!

……

Inside the mansion, Lu Xingshu helped Su Hanyun off the carriage, and a group of people escorted him to the hall. Lu Zongshu was a little puzzled by the latter's actions, and asked in a low voice,

"Eunuch Su, is it too much for us to do this? Those guys will definitely not speak well of you in the future..."

"Does our family need their kind words?"

Su Hanyun sneered, with a look of indifference on his face, hummed,

"What's more, they want to inquire about our disciples, their minds are not pure, and there is no need for our family to accommodate!"

"However, the most important intention is to let the person behind the scenes see, let him think that our family has made great contributions, and His Majesty's favor, so he is arrogant and domineering, supercilious, and relaxes his vigilance."

"You, in the future, you will be in charge of the horse guard, don't just use brute force, use your brain more..."

"The slave has been taught!"

Only then did Lu Xingshu truly understand, and he nodded in a sudden realization. At the same time, he looked at Su Hanyun with even more awe. Eunuch Su's thoughts are really subtle. His anger lowered the vigilance of the people behind the scenes, killing two birds with one stone. If it was him, he wouldn't even be able to figure it out if he broke his head!

"My servant has seen Eunuch Su."

Walking into the hall, four maids who had been waiting at the door came up to welcome them. Most of them were eighteen or nineteen years old, with exquisite figures, delicate and fair faces, and a youthful atmosphere.

Su Hanyun frowned, and Lu Xingshu immediately stepped forward to explain,

"Eunuch Su, this is given to you by the servant and Eunuch Pan. Although you don't live in this house very much, it still needs someone to take care of it. You can't do it without servants."

"The slave was worried about your taboo, master, so he didn't dare to prepare too much, so he only prepared these four. Don't worry, they have been investigated, their family background is clean, and there is nothing messy. They are responsible for your daily life and food, master. The daily maintenance of this mansion."

"I also ask the master to accept it with a smile."

"You guys..."

Su Hanyun knew that Pan Renyi and Lu Xingshu had good intentions, so he didn't say much, looked down at the four maidservants, and said,
"In the future, you don't need to be too busy to do things well. As long as the house is not abandoned, our family doesn't care too much. As long as you don't mess around, we won't blame you."

"Slave and maid thank father-in-law for his mercy."

The four maids thought that four people would be too busy to take care of such a big house. Hearing this, they felt relieved. There are many such people in Chang'an City. Buying a house is purely for decoration. Well, the servants inside are very relaxed.

Moreover, this father-in-law also looks very good, and he will have a good life in the future.

Time passed, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

All the housewarming matters were settled, and only Su Hanyun, Lu Xingshu, and the five people who were secretly brought out from the palace were left in the room. The lights flickered slightly, and the peaceful and festive atmosphere gradually became tense and tense.

"How's the investigation on Wuhumen?"

Su Hanyun narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Reporting to the master, Shang Tianyin has found the son of the former sect master."

"Bring it here..."
