Chapter 11 A Very Important Lady!

"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 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 was secretly relieved. 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's not easy to get along in the palace, so it's 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 to 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. With my bad temper, 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.

It will be yours sooner or later!

Lin Xing had no intention of cheating again. He always had to leave some saliva for others to drink. At present, this idiot was still very useful to him.

Then, he took out two silver notes from it, one of 100 taels and the other of 50 taels.

"Take these two silver notes. The 100 taels is for you to spend. The 50 taels..."

"Let's go and deliver the meal first. I'll tell you after the meal!"

"Thank you, Master Lin!"

Xiao Maozi took the silver notes with some excitement. He really didn't expect that he could get some of the silver notes he threw out back. He didn't feel so painful in his heart, although he still had some hidden.

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

When they arrived at the kitchen, Xiao Maozi said sternly without saying a word: "Listen to you two!"

As the voice sounded, the two eunuchs immediately put down their work, faced Xiao Maozi, lowered their heads slightly, and stood respectfully.

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

"Yes, eunuch, I will remember it!"

The two eunuchs responded in unison.

Afterwards, Xiao Maozi picked up a small food box on the table, turned around, and his face immediately changed from fierce to friendly.

"Brother, let's go and deliver the food!"

Lin Xing glanced at the two wooden barrels on the ground, one of which was porridge and the other was steamed bread, and he couldn't help but frown.

After leaving the house, he whispered, "Little Maozi, don't you want to send the two buckets in the room?"

"Of course, but Master Lin, you haven't eaten yet, so forget about this meal and let those two people send it to you. Anyway, Eunuch Wu is not here."

As he said, Little Maozi shook the small food box in his hand again, "This is for the lady who was just imprisoned. Her food is important."

"As for the others, we will come back later, and you can go with us to recognize the door."

The lady who was just imprisoned?

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