Fake eunuch: After the empress saw through it, I was reused every day

"It's really impossible to hang out in this palace without some rice in hand. Now that we're here in Yongxiang again, it's impossible to reverse our mistakes."

"So, Xiao Maozi, the time has come to test you. Is there any way to help me solve this problem?"

Lin Xingyu patted Xiaomaozi on the shoulder with great care.

"Master Lin, what do you mean, you want me to find a place for you to copy the book?"

Hearing this, Lin Xing curled his lips and said, "Nonsense, why should I use you?"

"You're such a shameless kid. Don't think about it. I've just arrived in Yongxiang. I'm a newbie here. How can I go out and gamble with my tail between my legs?"

"Besides, even if you have to repay the money, don't you need the money?"

Lin Xing thought to himself that this guy was probably pretending to be confused, so he might as well speak more clearly.

In fact, it's okay to say it directly, but it's too low-level, so it's more implicit.

Xiao Maozi's face tightened. He was indeed more clever. He had just heard that this man might be trying to blackmail him. This kind of thing was very common in the palace.

The big fish eats the small fish, the small fish eats the horse shrimp, and the horse shrimp eats Nima!

"Master Lin, do you want me to get you some money?"

"It's not about getting it, it's about borrowing it. How can I still get your money for nothing?"

Lin Xing said impatiently.

borrow?

Xiao Maozi thought to himself, that doesn't mean anything, and it's not much better than grabbing it openly.

"Mr. Lin, I should be filial to you. However, earlier, at Eunuch Wu's place, you also heard that I still owe him two hundred taels of gambling debt."

Of course Lin Xing heard it, and it was precisely because of this that he wanted to extort some money. Yes, it was extortion!

"That's right, I did hear what you said."

"By the way, Xiao Maozi, how long have you been working here in Yongxiang?"

"Years."

Xiao Maozi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't ask for money, he could say anything. He said whatever he asked.

Lin Xing smiled knowingly, I will never give up until I blackmail you for a sum of money.

With such an inhuman thing and a gambling habit, he might be able to extort a lot of money from others. And as he just said, it is not easy to get along in the palace, so it is impossible not to hide some money for emergencies.

Moreover, the convicts imprisoned in Yongxiang may also have concubines, but they are all people of high status. The so-called skinny camels are bigger than horses, how can they get less oil and water?

He, Lin Xing, is no stick!

"By the way, Xiao Maozi, do you know how the last eunuch who delivered food died?"

Hearing this, Xiao Maozi was stunned at first, obviously a little surprised that Lin Xing suddenly mentioned this matter, but he quickly said calmly:

"Oh, I know. That boy was careless in his work. He was punished by Eunuch Wu. He deserved a short life. He only died after being beaten with a stick a few times."

What a good boy, he is worthy of being a veteran who has been in the palace for several years. When he talks lies, his face does not turn red and his heart does not beat.

There was nothing surprising for Lin Xing. He mentioned it at this time not to dwell on the matter itself, but for another purpose. Not to mention it could indirectly enhance his own credibility.

"Even if you don't tell me some things, my heart will be the same as Ming Jing's!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, but the problem now is that if Eunuch Wu also has a problem with me, my identity cannot be exposed."

"Perhaps Eunuch Wu doesn't like me and wants to wear small shoes for me from time to time. I have such a bad temper that I can't hold him anymore. I failed in my mission and I will be held accountable..."

"That's a fatal matter. At that point, even if I don't want to implicate innocent people, I'm afraid I can't help myself."

"So, Xiao Maozi, you don't want me to be your father. Is something like this happening?"

Hearing this, Xiao Maozi's expression tightened, but he understood, and he was almost ready to give up.

"That's natural. I'm determined to follow Mr. Lin, so I don't want anything to happen to you!"

Lin Xing nodded, "So, to be on the safe side, we need money to pave the way..."

"Do you understand it?"

"I understand, little one understands!"

Xiao Maozi nodded heavily.

"It's useless to understand. What's important is the money..."

Lin Xing curled his lips, but before he could say anything, Xiao Maozi, who had his head down in deep thought, suddenly raised his head and slapped his forehead.

"Master Lin, I remembered where I hid the money I saved before. I hid it after drinking wine. I didn't find it in the past two days..."

"Wait a moment, I'll look for you again!"

As he spoke, Xiao Maozi walked inside, and then dived directly under the bed.

Obviously, this single room is Xiao Maozi's room. He and Eunuch Wu are the only ones in Yongxiang who have such treatment. The other eunuchs must only sleep in the Datong bunk.

It didn't take long for Xiao Maozi to get out from under the bed, his face was gray and he was holding a stack of banknotes in his hand.

"Master Lin, this is my entire net worth, a total of five hundred taels. Please accept it!"

Xiao Maozi had a bitter look on his face and handed it over with some pain.

Lin Xing took the banknotes and looked through them. Two were worth one hundred taels, and the rest were all worth fifty taels.

Good guy!

Although he looked calm on the surface, it was an unexpected surprise. Five hundred taels was really a lot.

It is conceivable that the eunuch's monthly silver is only two taels, and he has only five hundred taels after ten years of riding.

Lin Xing's guess was right, Xiao Maozi made a lot of soup, and Eunuch Wu, that old eunuch, naturally made more.

Sooner or later, it’s all yours!

Lin Xing had no intention of cheating anymore. He always wanted to leave some water for others to drink. Now this little kid was still of great use to him.

Then, he took out two banknotes, one for one hundred taels and one for fifty taels.

"Take these two banknotes. One hundred taels are reserved for you to spend. And the fifty taels..."

"It's better to deliver the food first. I'll tell you after the food is delivered!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Xiao Maozi took the banknote with some excitement. He really didn't expect that some of the banknotes he threw out would come back, and his heart didn't hurt so much, even though he still had some hidden away.

Afterwards, the two of them went out and everything returned to normal. Lin Xing followed Xiao Maozi obediently.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Xiao Maozi said sternly without saying a word: "You two, listen!"

Following the words, the two eunuchs immediately put down what they were doing, faced Xiao Maozi, and stood respectfully with their heads slightly lowered.

Then, Xiao Maozi pointed at Lin Xing, "Xiao Linzi, you will be my brother from now on. You two should be smart. If anyone makes my brother unhappy, I will skin him. Do you understand?"

"Yes, father-in-law, you must remember this!"

The two eunuchs responded in unison.

Then, Xiao Maozi picked up a snack box on the table and turned around. His expression immediately changed from fierce to kind.

"Brother, let's go deliver food!"

Lin Xing glanced at the two wooden barrels on the ground. One barrel was filled with porridge, and the other barrel was filled with steamed buns. He couldn't help but frown.

After leaving the door, he asked in a low voice: "Xiao Maozi, don't you want to give away the two buckets in the house?"

"It's just that you haven't eaten yet, Master Lin. Forget it, just let the two people deliver it to you. Eunuch Wu is not here anyway."

As he spoke, Xiao Maozi shook the snack box in his hand, "This is for the lady who just came in. Her food is important."

"As for the rest, we'll be back soon, and you can just follow us and find the door."

The lady who was just imprisoned?

Lin Xing became a little uneasy for a moment, thinking that this person must be his target.
