The world is heavy and late

Chapter 6 Bad Debt
Not long after, the two people who were on duty at Jiaofang were brought here. They first saluted the supervisor, and then asked after returning to the supervisor:

"Which one of them went to the Jiaofang Division to deliver the music scores?"

The two of them looked back, and it was nothing more than asking the Supervisory Committee. In fact, the two people were very different. The servant on the left had a fair complexion, and his appearance was also very delicate, and his figure was also slightly thin, while the servant on the right It is obvious that the figure is slightly stronger, and the complexion is more yellow, and the appearance is really ordinary.

The youngest of the two, Le Ling, looked at their hands and was about to speak, but she still glanced at the older Le Ling beside her. The older Le Ling carefully sized up the two kneeling servants, and turned back The supervisor cupped his hands and said:
"Master, it's the father-in-law on the right."

A look of astonishment appeared on Ning Neishi's raised face, and he exclaimed:
"You're lying, obviously..."

Before he finished speaking, he was glanced at by the supervisor, and the rest of the words were choked in his throat, and he didn't dare to say any more.

When the old Leling replied to the right, the young Leling looked at the older Leling in surprise, then looked at her figure carefully, and replied:
"It should be the father-in-law on the right."

At this time, Ning's servant couldn't hold back any longer, his face was startled and angry, and he was about to open his mouth to speak, but he waved back to the supervisor but let the two of them go down.At this time Ning's servant couldn't help but kowtowed and cried

"My lord, it is clear that Liu San must have colluded with him to frame this slave. The slave has never been to the Jiaofang Division."

At this time, Liu San lowered his head and said:

"This score must have been complete when it was taken out from the Hongwen Museum. The Hongwen Museum has its own registration. Now that the score is sent to the Jiaofang Division, there is a piece of music. The missing piece must still be in the Supervisor of Rituals. You may as well Send people to search the seats or dormitories of the slaves and Eunuch Ning."

As soon as this remark came out, Ning's servant immediately choked up, thinking about the music score still on the table, what did he dare not say thoroughly.

Originally, I kept the score because I wanted to wait until something went wrong with Liu San's errand, and then I would take over the errand. As long as I said that I found Liu San's leftover score, I could still make a contribution, but at the moment Liu San is so As soon as he said it, Ning's servant could no longer say that he found it. In a flash of thought, he could only say

"My lord, I saw Liu San deliberately throwing away the music score. I thought it was strange. I thought he must have done something bad to throw it away. So I picked it up quietly. Now I see it must be to slander me."

"My lord, I am wronged, my lord."

As soon as the words came out, the people in the courtyard frowned. Of course they knew that it was impossible for Ning's servant to take back the music score and give it to Liu San, but the Secretary of Jiaofang did confirm it, and Ning's servant still kept it. That sheet of music is really indisputable, it seems that this matter can only be a bad debt.

Can servant Ning know that this is not a good excuse, but he can only say this. Could it be that he deliberately refused to give him the music score on his desk?

Hui Sijian glanced at everyone in the courtyard with an inexplicable expression, straightened his sleeves impatiently and said:

"Go and organize the music scores and send them to the Jiaofang Division."

Immediately, the little eunuch in the courtyard picked up the scattered music scores and went into the room to get the missing one.

Hui Sijian took a look at the two kneeling down
"Liu San and Ning Da are not good at doing things. They will be fined to kneel for three hours and fast for one day."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Liu San with a smile that was not a smile, and walked out slowly. The little servant who followed him asked strangely:
"My lord, then Liu San..."

Returning to the supervisor glanced at him and turned his head to look at the palace road where the imperial guards were patrolling:

"Don't worry, grind it slowly, it hurts to cut flesh with a soft knife, I really want to see how long he can last."

The little servant silently slandered in his heart that he was being raised as a son, and he was still grinding slowly.

At the entrance of the Si Li Division's lobby, Liu San and Ning's servant were kneeling. Ning's servant was filled with resentment and resentment, and felt aggrieved. He really wasn't the one who sent them off. He gritted his teeth, stared at Liu San and said:
"Liu San, you are so talented. You can even bribe Si Leling from the Jiaofang. I really underestimated you before."

Liu San knelt down expressionlessly and didn't reply. He knew that the two Lelings would probably admit their mistake after seeing Ning Da, and he also knew that they wouldn't say much.
Because talking too much about uncertain matters in the palace will kill people, and he also knows that this matter will be a bad debt in the end, and there is a high probability that there will be no results. He is already very satisfied, even if he has done a lot of work for this moment He is also very happy after being hungry for many days.

After so many years in the palace, he has gradually learned to bite back. It is not a big deal to be bullied at ordinary times, but he must not be weak at critical moments, otherwise anyone can step on you.

On the way back the two Lelings, the younger one was also asking the older one
"Do you still remember the father-in-law who gave the music score?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "He refused to look up from the beginning to the end when he came, so I couldn't see his face."

The younger generation was quite surprised and said: "Then how did you know that it is the father-in-law on the right?"

The old man: "Although he couldn't see his face when he came that day, when he reached out to pass things, were his hands very white?"

Younger student: "That's right, so I wanted to say it was the father-in-law on the left at first."

The old man: "I have been teaching people to play the piano in Jiaofang for many years. When I see people, I often look at the hands first. That day, the hands were obviously painted. I was curious at the time. My father-in-law often puts powder on his face. Why did this man also paint on his hands? In the end, I took a second look and found that although the father-in-law’s hands were white, the inside of the cuffs had a darker complexion. I saw that the father-in-law’s cuffs were covered with white all over the sleeve edge, and I guessed without looking up that he was trying to pretend to be someone else.”

The younger generation: "But it's just that, it's possible that the white-faced father-in-law deliberately framed the yellow-faced father-in-law."

The old gentleman gave the young man a hard look, and said: "That day I saw some calluses on the father-in-law's tiger's mouth, obviously he was digging food in the ground before entering the palace, today I saw calluses on the father-in-law's hand on the left. In the palm of the hand, it probably only appeared after entering the palace, while the one on the right is black and strong, obviously working in the fields before entering the palace."

The younger generation said again: "Calluses can be worn away for two days without stopping, and they will disappear if you don't do it. It's been several days. Maybe the callus marks will become shallow, and it's not necessarily true. It's not that the calluses disappear in adults. not drop."

The old man gritted his teeth and wanted to slap the young man who talked back, but he still said angrily: "That man acted so frivolously after he came to Jiaofangsi, and when he saw us put things away modestly, he couldn't bear it when he left." I'm a little proud of myself, knowing that he was framed in order to imitate others, it is natural that the person he framed was polite. I looked at those two today, the one on the left didn't look up all the time, and the one on the other side stared straight at me with a straight face. There is still a smug look on his face, he must think that his disguise is good, and he was so surprised after we recognized it."

The old gentleman said with a little pride: "I saw him looking up at me all the time, so I guessed it was that frivolous person."

Then the younger generation stopped raising the bar, nodded and said: "In the end, I also saw that the father-in-law on the left was too thin, but the father-in-law on the right was a bit stronger. Looking at his body shape, he probably sweated a little more easily when he was so strong. The sun is not so bright yet we are sweating so much.”

The old gentleman stroked his beard and nodded, and the two of them returned to the Jiaofang Division very happily, feeling that they were really discerning today, and should drink a big cup.

The frivolous Liu San and Ning Da knelt from the sun to the sunset, and waited until the sun fell from the sky, leaving only a bright red in the west, and the east was slowly invaded by black before returning to the bedroom.
