"Eunuch A, and all of you."

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at Jiawu and the dozens of scribes, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard today. I am here to serve as a host. I would like to invite everyone to gather at Dong Yulou. What do you think?"

"It's so wonderful. Thank you so much, Lord Marquis!" Jiawu immediately agreed, half-bowing and smiling.

This time Jiawu's smile came from the bottom of his heart, because in just one day, he made a lot of money...

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

The dozens of scribes also stood up and thanked them. They were all scribes from the inner treasury supervisor. Although they had a lot of money, they rarely went to Dong Yulou because it was too expensive.

Everyone packed up and set off to Dong Yulou together.

After eating and drinking, compliments and toasts were inevitable. Zhu Xiuyuan gradually became a little tipsy.

After dinner, the Jiawu Festival was so mysterious that he pulled Zhuxiu far away to a hidden corner.

"Eunuch A, what are you doing?" Zhu Xiuyuan was a bit tongue-tied, but he already had a guess in his mind.

"Master Hou..."

As expected, he was brought here during the Jiawu period to "divide the spoils."

Today, there are only two salt citations on sale in each state. It is said that there are many monks but not enough rice. So some merchants made a crooked idea and bribed people who could talk to them to get a salt citation.

At first, these merchants wanted to bribe Zhu Xiuyuan.

But Zhu Xiuyuan never saw outsiders, thus eliminating the possibility of merchants bribing him.

The merchants saw that bribing Zhu Xiuyuan failed, so they bribed the inner treasurer and eunuch Jiawu...

Hey, it’s settled now!

Na Jiawu is considered an expert in this field. He is not afraid at all and will not reject anyone who comes.

There are so many state capitals across the country, and merchants from almost most of them went to give gifts to Jiawu... So Jiawu was merciless in accepting gifts today.

Not only was he soft-hearted, but he was also extremely scared——

Because there are so many gifts, people like Jiawu are frightened...

When Jiawu pulled Zhu Xiuyuan to "divide the spoils", it actually meant sharing the firepower. He had collected so much by himself, and it was really hard for him to settle down.

After Jiawu finished expressing what he meant, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly woke up from his drunkenness, and he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Jiawu half-bowed and stared at Zhu Xiuyuan without blinking, as if he wanted to see something from Zhu Xiuyuan's expression.

The conditions for opening in Jiawu are very attractive.

He actually gave all the big heads to Zhu Xiuyuan, and he only took the small heads.

Then they take the risk together!

However, even if it is just a small head, Jiawu's heart is beating loudly, because this "little head" is not small...

"Eunuch A." ​​Zhu Xiuyuan finally spoke, looking directly into Jiawu's eyes: "I understand your father-in-law's kindness. Please forgive me for not being able to accept Eunuch A's conditions!"

Zhu Xiuyuan's attitude was very firm.

"Master Hou, this..." Sweat broke out on Jiawu's forehead immediately.

His whole body froze, he almost lost his balance, and his expression was extremely frightened.

If Zhu Xiuyuan did not accept it, the Sino-Japanese War would have been terrible. Not only did he accept so many bribes, but he also took the initiative to expose the matter to Zhu Xiuyuan...

"However, please rest assured, Eunuch A, I will not spread the word about this matter. You know it, I know it, God knows it, and the earth knows it, but no third person will know it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan then smiled again, which was profound.

"call!"

Jiawu covered his heart with both hands and breathed heavily. He stared at Zhu Xiuyuan's smile and felt that Zhu Xiuyuan was an angel now: "Thank you, Mr. Hou, thank you, Mr. Hou..."

Soon, Jiawu's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "As long as the Marquis has given orders, I will go through fire and water, even if I die!"

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed again.

He waved his hands repeatedly, "My father-in-law is serious. I don't need my father-in-law to go through fire and water, and I don't need my father-in-law to die without mercy! Moreover, I won't take any of the unexpected fortune related to refined salt in the future, and it will all go to my father-in-law!"

Jiawu's heart throbbed hard.

Today alone, the amount of oil and water he made has almost caught up with the amount he made in several years ago!

And the salt is replaced every three years... In addition, there are many "financial resources" waiting to be "opened up", this is simply a golden mountain!

"Master Hou..." Jiawu was almost speechless.

"But Father A, I also have something I want to ask my father-in-law for help. Don't be nervous, father-in-law. This is not a big deal. For my father-in-law, it is easy to do!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Master Marquis, please give me your instructions. I am all ears!" Jiawu immediately decided in his heart that as long as Zhu Xiuyuan gave an explanation, then this matter would be truly worry-free.

"Hey, Eunuch A, as a divine thunder lord, I have always been trusted by your majesty and the noble concubine, but I still feel uneasy. I don't know when the situation will change suddenly, and I will become a prisoner of that order.

…”

Zhu Xiuyuan sighed seemingly unintentionally.

Na Jiawu was very smart, and his heart immediately became enlightened.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Please don't worry, Lord Marquis. Although I am the eunuch of the inner treasury, and although the inner treasury is also located in the imperial city, I am the confidant of the noble concubine. You can go to the deep palace garden at any time."

"

"If there is any trouble..." Jiawu suddenly came closer and said in a low and serious voice: "Xiaguan will come and inform the Marquis as soon as possible!"

"So, thank you so much, Eunuch A!" Zhu Xiuyuan was satisfied and cupped his hand.

"Oh, Lord Marquis has really offended this official..." Jiawu hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Jiawu left Dong Yulou satisfied.

Go straight back to the Imperial City and check in with the Treasury Supervisor.

He was so happy and excited that he couldn't help but hum a little tune when he was alone in the check-in room.

"What's wrong, I forgot to see the imperial concubine!" Jiawu suddenly remembered this matter, quickly packed up, and entered the deep inner courtyard of the palace.

In the side hall of Qin'an Palace, Jiawu met Concubine You.

Concubine You was also a smart person. She asked Jiawu directly and calmly, how many bribes had she received?

Jiawu’s heart, liver, and lungs were almost frightened to death.

Only later did Jiawu realize what Concubine You meant, and she actually wanted to get some money from him.

While Jiawu breathed a sigh of relief, he also began to struggle in his heart. How much should he give to Concubine You?

Before he could think about it, Concubine You directly said a number.

Jiawu's heart moved, and he immediately pretended to be in pain, knelt on the ground, and said that he was willing to contribute.

But in fact, the bribes collected by Jiawu today were dozens of times what Concubine You requested!

Seeing the pain in Jiawu's face, Concubine You really thought that Jiawu was in pain, so she felt very satisfied, and gave Jiawu careful instructions before letting Jiawu leave...

…

Dong Yulou.

After Jiawu left, everyone also dispersed.

At this time, the sky was still bright, and Dong Shuyu was still handling affairs in the small courtyard of the restaurant and had not returned to the Shenleihou Mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan wandered around, and after finishing his conversation with Jiawu, his drunkenness increased again, and he walked towards the small courtyard with empty steps.

"Uncle!"

At the entrance of the small courtyard, Zhu Xiuyuan met two maids, Chun Xue and Dong Mei, who were carrying a tray with tea cups on it.
