The best little eunuch

Chapter 10 Interrogation
Chapter 10 Interrogation
Hearing the queen mother's call, the prince hurried over.As soon as he came in, he knelt down to pay his respects and said, "My slave pays his respects to the Queen Mother."

"Get up, Eunuch Wang." The Queen Mother closed the booklet and said to Eunuch Wang.

After glancing at the queen mother, Wang Gonggong also found that the queen mother's complexion was not very good. After glancing at Lin Feng, Lin Feng didn't dare to say anything, so he could only give Wang Gonggong a helpless look. "I don't know what's the matter with the Queen Mother recruiting slaves?" Wang Gonggong asked.The queen mother usually would not look for herself, so she was so eager to find herself today, there must be something important.

Throwing down the blue booklet, the Empress Dowager said, "You should read this first."

Picking up the blue booklet, Eunuch Wang read it, and the more he read it, the more surprised he became: This Eunuch Wu is really too ruthless.How greedy for so much ink.As the chief steward of the inner palace, Wang Gonggong naturally knows some things about corruption in the inner palace, but as long as it is not too much, Wang Gonggong will turn a blind eye to it.After all, the eunuchs were already in poor health, so they pretended not to be greedy for money.However, this Eunuch Wu is so insane that he has so much greed for ink!

"The slave is guilty." The prince quickly knelt down and said, "The slave didn't take good care of the inner palace for the emperor and the queen mother, and such a big thing happened. The slave didn't know at all."

"Get up. Tell the Ai family what to do about this matter?" the Queen Mother asked.The Empress Dowager is not as angry as she was just now, but this is a beneficial thing. She can take advantage of this incident to rectify the inner palace, and remove the eyeliner of those who are interested in the inner palace from outside the palace.Although not all of them can be removed, at least one of their eyes can be abolished.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the slave thinks that this matter should be investigated strictly. Once the investigation is completed, it must not be tolerated." Wang Gonggong said very resolutely.Under the current situation, if I don't make a statement, then I'm afraid I won't be able to sit in the position of the chief manager of the inner palace for long.Usually the queen mother has nothing to do with herself, but once this happens, the queen mother will have a reason to clean herself up, and it will be very easy.

Nodding her head, the queen mother said: "The Ai family also means the same thing. These slaves are getting more and more courageous now. If they are not allowed to know who is the master of this palace, they will start to think that they are the master."

"Slaves are punished with death." Eunuch Wang hurriedly knelt down again and said.

"Wang Gonggong, get up. You manage this huge harem for the emperor and the Ai family. It is impossible to cover everything. Such a small negligence is inevitable." The father-in-law is still obedient.As long as he is obedient, the queen mother will not touch him.After all, the Queen Mother doesn't have anyone available.If the prince is removed, there is no guarantee that the person who will be replaced will be more obedient than the prince.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your understanding. After I go back, I will definitely tidy up the inner palace, and let the eunuchs in charge know that I am a slave, and I have to do things for the royal family in peace." Wang Gonggong said to the queen mother, very sincerity.

"Well, this matter must be paid close attention to. At the same time, the inner palace should be thoroughly investigated. Wang Gonggong thinks, who is better to handle this matter?" The queen mother took another sip of tea and said.She already had a suitable candidate in her heart, and the reason why she wanted to ask the prince was just a formality.

Glancing at the queen mother, the prince was a little embarrassed.In this matter, whoever takes the lead will benefit.After all, when the time comes, you can eliminate a large number of dissidents and install your own people.To be honest, the prince naturally wanted to do this for himself.However, judging from what the Empress Dowager meant, it was obvious that she didn't want to let herself take the lead in doing this. "Who could it be?" Wang Gonggong began to think.As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lin Feng standing aside, and the prince immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant.At the beginning, the selection of the eunuch in charge of the Hall of Kindness and Virtue was made by the Queen Mother, and Lin Feng was chosen without any doubts. The Queen Mother trusted Lin Feng quite a bit.

"The slave thinks that Eunuch Lin can take on this great task." After the Eunuch Wang finished speaking, he looked at the Queen Mother to see her reaction.Sure enough, the queen mother did not show any obvious objection, so she guessed right.

"Does Wang Gong think that Xiao Linzi's qualifications can convince the public?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Eunuch Lin is a talented person, and he is serious about his work, so it is more than enough for this matter." Eunuch Wang hurriedly said, the Queen Mother obviously asked me to find a reason to recommend Lin Feng.

"Since Wang Gonggong, the head of the inner palace, thinks that Xiao Linzi is fine, then you can handle Xiao Linzi's matter." The queen mother said directly to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was still very surprised that the queen mother asked him to take the lead, but after the accident, Lin Feng also knew that this was an opportunity, so Lin Feng said: "I thank the queen mother, I will do my best to do the job well for the queen mother, and I will live up to the high expectations of the queen mother." .”

"Well, Xiao Linzi is doing business, so don't worry about the Ai family. Well, you should discuss this matter with the prince. Get it done as soon as possible." The Queen Mother glanced at Lin Feng and said to him.

"The servant obeys the order." Lin Feng said.

After leaving the Hall of Kindness and Virtue, Lin Feng said to Wang Gonggong: "Thank you Wang Gonggong for your support this time. Our family doesn't know much about this inner palace, so I hope Wang Gonggong can give you some pointers."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. If Eunuch Lin doesn't have any manpower, our family can lend some manpower to Eunuch Lin." The prince said openly.Obviously, Wang Gonggong also wanted to join in and get a share of the pie.After all, this is no small matter.Moreover, there is no need to say more about the benefits of this.

In just a moment, Lin Feng understood the meaning of the prince's words, and said: "Thank you, prince, for this, we really don't have anyone to listen to. If the prince is willing to give up his love and give some people to our family, Our family is naturally grateful.”

"It's easy to say, our family will send you a team of military inspectors to assist Eunuch Lin with his errands." Eunuch Wang said, this Lin Feng is really up to the mark, and he immediately understood what he meant.If Lin Feng refused, Wang Gonggong still wondered if it would create some difficulties for Lin Feng.After this inner palace, if the prince wanted to do something, it would be very easy.

Soon, under the order of Wang Gonggong, a team of about 20 military inspectors came to report.The leader of the team was a military supervisor named Daniu.He saluted Lin Feng respectfully, and said: "This servant is ordered by the prince to come to assist Mr. Lin with his business. If there is anything, please give Mr. Lin instructions."

"Now, let's go with our family to arrest Eunuch Wu, the supervisor of Shangshan." Lin Feng said, and then led a group of people towards Eunuch Wu's small courtyard.

When Lin Feng and the others came to Eunuch Wu's small courtyard, they really frightened the little eunuchs who were on duty at the gate.These martial eunuchs were all armed, and all of them were tall, in stark contrast to the emaciated eunuchs.If you fight, I'm afraid three young eunuchs can't beat a military supervisor.

"I don't know what this father-in-law is doing to bring so many people to Eunuch Wu's place?" A eunuch who seemed to be the head of these eunuchs stood up, cupped his hands at Lin Feng, and said.

"Our family has come to arrest Eunuch Wu at the order of the Queen Mother, so please get out of the way quickly. Otherwise, we will also arrest you!" Lin Feng said.

The eunuchs in Eunuch Wu's courtyard were all taken aback by what Lin Feng said. Could it be that Eunuch Wu committed a crime?If that's the case, I'm afraid people like myself are not doing well.The best plan is to be dispatched to guard the mausoleum of the first emperor.If so, this life is over.

"This... I don't know what proof this father-in-law has?" asked the chief eunuch.At the same time, a young eunuch had already run in and told Eunuch Wu about it.Let Eunuch Wu prepare in advance.

Taking out the gold medal given to him by the Empress Dowager, Lin Feng said: "According to the order of the Empress Dowager, come to arrest Eunuch Wu. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with as an accomplice, and those who resist will be killed!" Go in and get someone.

The eunuchs looked at each other, but no one dared to stop them.If you act rashly, then you are the same party.Judging by today's posture, I'm afraid Eunuch Wu has committed a serious crime.Therefore, those eunuchs wisely chose to remain silent, stood aside, and let the martial eunuchs walk in swaggeringly.

Just as Lin Feng walked into Eunuch Wu's small courtyard, he saw Eunuch Wu dragging his fat body towards the door.Seeing Lin Feng, Eunuch Wu frowned, and said, "Eunuch Lin, how dare you ask me what's going on? Our family has committed a serious crime, and we need you to bring someone here yourself. In this inner palace, when will you arrest someone?" Is the job done by someone else? Is there no one in the Punishment Department?"

"Our family came to arrest the criminals at the Queen Mother's order. Eunuch Wu, you have offended me." Lin Feng said, and then signaled the military supervisors to take Eunuch Wu down.

"Lin Feng, why do you arrest our family? Our family wants to meet the queen mother in person. How dare you avenge yourself publicly? Our family will definitely not let you go." Eunuch Wu scolded loudly when he saw those military supervisors coming to take him down. road.

"Tie!" Lin Feng said.Soon, Eunuch Wu was tied into a zongzi and guarded by two military supervisors.

Walking to Eunuch Wu, Lin Feng said: "Eunuch Wu, don't think that no one knows about your greed for ink these years, there is no impenetrable wall, so, today, you'd better admit it." After finishing speaking, Lin Feng said to The remaining military inspector said: "Search for me!"

Only when a large amount of money is found can Eunuch Wu be proven to be greedy for ink, otherwise Eunuch Wu will not be able to touch Eunuch Wu just by relying on the small booklet that Manager Xiao kept.He himself is an old man in the inner palace, it is very difficult to overthrow him with just a booklet.

"You...you dare to search our house privately!" Staring at Lin Feng fiercely, Eunuch Wu said openly that if he hadn't been tied into a rice dumpling, Lin Feng had no doubt that Eunuch Wu would jump over and tear himself to pieces.

"Keep an eye on him and cover his mouth too." Lin Feng said.This prince's yelling is really unpleasant and affects people's mood.

Walking into the main hall of Eunuch Wu's small courtyard, the furnishings inside are rather simple.After all, people often come to his small courtyard. If the decoration is too luxurious, I am afraid that someone will come to investigate him without anyone reporting.

Seeing Eunuch Wu's courtyard turned into a mess by those military inspectors, Lin Feng also looked around. Since ancient times, this search of the house has been the most lucrative job.Anyway, no one knows how much was copied, and it is not up to the person who copied the house.

Soon, in Eunuch Wu's small courtyard, the military inspectors took out the finances they had copied out, including gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings, and a lot of jade articles.piled up into a hill.It seems that this Eunuch Wu has a hobby of collecting money.

"Eunuch Wu, what else do you have to say!" Lin Feng said, pointing at the pile of things.Then I walked over there, saw a small box, opened it, and there was a bank note inside.After a casual look, there are at least a hundred of them.According to a piece of 100 taels, there are also 1 taels.This 1 taels is enough for an ordinary family of four to live comfortably for several lifetimes.

"Come here, register and make a book." Lin Feng said to the military supervisor behind him.Obviously, this is not the first time these military inspectors have done this, and they have started to register these things in an orderly manner.

After finishing all these tasks, Lin Feng took out twenty silver bills from a box, distributed one to each of the martial arts supervisors, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, save this one for some tea." After finishing speaking , I personally issued the bank notes to everyone's hands.

When they saw the 100 tael banknote, the eyes of those military supervisors turned green.When did they see so much silver.In the past, if the eunuch in charge of ransacking the house could give each of them ten taels of silver, that would be great.Unexpectedly, Lin Feng sent them 100 taels all at once.

"Daniu, you are the captain. Thank you for your hard work. Our family will give you an extra 100 taels." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he handed the two bank notes to Daniel.

"Thank you Eunuch Lin, I will do my best to serve Eunuch Lin." Daniel quickly knelt down to accept the bank note and said.

"Get up, get up." Lin Feng quickly helped Daniel up and said.This is what Lin Feng wanted. Now he doesn't have any manpower in the inner palace. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to buy some manpower, he will still be a bare-bones commander.
