The direct palace supervisor’s yamen and study room.

Zhou An was holding a seal in his hand and was stamping it... He had been stamping it for almost two hours, and had dozens of documents. Of course, after reading each one, he would stamp it with the seal of the Zhidian Supervisor.

He hasn't been to Zhidian Prison for more than half a month. Although he arranged all the affairs of Zhidian Prison to the young supervisor Lu Zhumin, the young supervisor was the young supervisor after all. Lu Zhumin could only arrange the following matters on behalf of Zhou An, but could not replace Zhou An's approval documents.

However, the documents from the 24th yamen in the inner court were sent to the Silijian every month, so it was not a problem to accumulate for a while.

Some of the documents that Zhou An needs to stamp are documents or fake notes about internal dispatch of Zhidian Supervisor, and some approvals related to money. For example, Zhidian Supervisor will replace new cleaning tools every month, approval of food expenses, and some special expenses.

For example, if any noble person in the palace is about to celebrate his birthday, the Zhidianguan needs to clean up the palace where he is located and make some decorations.

At present, there are not many "noble people" in the imperial palace, but there are also more than twenty. Except for Empress Shenzhao and Princess Yunjing, most of the others are the concubines of Emperor Shizong, that is, Empress Shenzhao's little mother.

When Emperor Shizong passed away and the Emperor of God came to power, she did not treat her "sisters" like that, and Dong Qian did not have the tradition of burying her with her. Therefore, Emperor Shizong's concubines still lived in the palace and rarely left their palaces, living a life that was not considered hard, but not considered extravagant.

Da da da da da.

The footsteps were very fast and came from outside.

Zhou An read another note about "sick leave" and stamped it after reading it.

Xiaotingzi hurried into the study room, and went to the table and lowered his waist and said, "Duke, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Eunuch Yin Gu is here."

"Oh?" Zhou An paused his hands and looked up suddenly.

Second general manager Gu Huaiyong, he is here?!

Zhou An frowned, what is he doing?

"Where are the people?" Zhou An asked.

"When the young man came over, he was in the front yard and was coming here." Xiaotingzi said.

"Well... go! Go out to welcome me!" Zhou An thought for a while, then stood up and walked out.

Gu Huaiyong has been on the list of deaths, and it is only a matter of time before he was killed, but the empress cannot move him at present, especially after Wu Xukuan dispatched troops to Qianjing City, he cannot move, because at this critical period of Da Nei, there can be no more trouble, otherwise, Wu Xukuan would probably have to "justified" to dispatch the army into the city to "protect the enemy".

So, Gu Huaiyong is still the second general manager now, and is still the eunuch whose inner court has the second only to Kang Longji's authority, at least in public.

Even Kang Longi acted with him and expressed his trust.

Zhou An can't neglect it anymore.

Zhou An had just left the study and saw Gu Huaiyong walking through the archway and entering the yard. The little eunuchs behind him were all holding gift boxes to give gifts?

"Oh, Mr. Manager, you are here, you are in a bad mood..."

It's time to display your true acting skills!

When Zhou An saw Gu Huaiyong, he accelerated his pace and even trotted a few steps to face Gu Huaiyong. This was his normal reaction. He wanted to show that he did not know Gu Huaiyong's attitude of participating in the rebellion.

"Hahaha, Eunuch Zhou, please wait, your body is not healing yet, right? If you fall, Your Highness Yun Jing asks, our family can't afford to take care of..." Gu Huaiyong laughed loudly in a sharp voice. Seeing Zhou An coming to bow, he quickly held it with both hands.

"Sir, why are you here? Look, what instructions do you have in the future? Just send someone to inform me. Why do you have to go there in person? It's really a mess of our family!" Zhou An was very good at speaking, and he whispered to the general manager, saving even two.

"Look at what you said, you are now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and you are highly valued by the Grand Master. Don't say anything or not to give me any instructions... Our family is here today, just to see you!" Gu Huaiyong's words were also nice, and he would speak to you one by one.

He really put down his figure, as if he was here to have a good relationship with Zhou An.

Two drama artists!

Zhou An welcomed Gu Huaiyong into the study and asked Xiaotingzi to arrange tea.

As soon as the two sat down, Gu Huaiyong signaled the eunuchs who came with him to put gift boxes on the table.

"Sir, you are..." Zhou An hesitated.

"Eunuch Zhou, aren't you hurt? You were injured for Your Highness Yunjing. Now no one in our inner court knows that it was your Eunuch Zhou who fought to protect Your Highness Yunjing's life. You made great contributions. Our inner court also had light on his face, and there were no other side. It was just some medicinal materials to nourish your body..."

While Gu Huaiyong was speaking, an old eunuch took a small rectangular wooden box with very exquisite packaging from the gift box. He walked behind Gu Huaiyong in two steps and handed it to Gu Huaiyong.

Gu Huaiyong opened the gift box and showed it to Zhou An again, saying, "Look, how is this ginseng tree?"

Zhou An took a look and nodded immediately: "Good ginseng!"

"This is a wild ginseng that is 1,500 years old. It has been more than ten years since we said that. At that time, our family was doing business for Emperor Shendu, and this ginseng was still rewarded by Emperor Shendu." Gu Huaiyong grinned and closed the box and pushed it to Zhou An, "You can keep it."

"Oh, I don't dare!" Zhou An quickly got up and pushed the box back, "Master, please don't, our family can't afford it."

"Hey! How can you bear it?" Gu Huaiyong quickly pushed the box back, "This is for you to replenish your body, and you will be able to keep it."

The two of them pushed each other around, and Zhou An finally reluctantly accepted it.

Gu Huaiyong came this time, and it seemed that there was nothing else. He just brought gifts to visit Zhou An and praised Zhou An for a while. Zhou An was only sixteen, while Gu Huaiyong was over 60 years old, but the two were completely talking equally, of course, because Gu Huaiyong was inferior to himself.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but Zhou An knew that after this incident was spread today, it would shock the entire inner court!

Gu Huaiyong is so optimistic about this upstart in the inner court, so what should others think of it?

At the end of the chat between the two, Gu Huaiyong also mentioned Sun Deyou, scolded Sun Deyou a few words, and also made the point of clearing the relationship.

About half an hour later, Gu Huaiyong stood up and said goodbye.

Zhou An kept sending him out of the gate of Zhidian Prison, and then gave up.

...

Zhou An hurried back to the study with the small pavilion.

"Open them all, find out if there are any silver notes!" Zhou An said to Xiaoting.

Xiaotingzi immediately opened the gift boxes, and Zhou An was not idle either, so he followed him to search for them.

Not long after.

"Father-in-law, what about here..." Xiaotingzi took out the stacked silver notes under a box containing pearls.

Pearls are not medicinal materials, but they can also be used as medicinal materials. Pearl powder can be eaten.

The small pavilion handed over the folded silver notes to Zhou An.

Zhou An opened it and immediately folded the silver notes.

Five thousand taels!!

This Gu Huaiyong is really fucking interesting! He comes to give gifts in person, but also gives money! What does it mean? He wants to use money to corrupt my bright and righteous heart?! He is not afraid of reporting him by himself? Maybe he is not afraid! The gifts he gave are counted as silver, which is equivalent to thousands of taels.

Gu Huaiyong is a third-rank eunuch, and he receives a lot of salary every year. In addition, the emperor rewarded him before, so he would definitely not be involved in corruption when he took out these things.

And he has no reason to bribe Zhou An.

It’s either the money you greedy or the money you bribe Zhou An or the money you gave Zhou An is given, so what can you do if you tell me?

After all, he used the name to visit Zhou An, who had just recovered from his injury.

"Ha... it's really interesting." Zhou An whispered.

*******

At night, the north city of the capital was in the palace of Wuwenhou.

Wu Wenhou was the title of Wu Xukuan. He was once the Grand Marshal and later entered the cabinet. The word "wuwen" means that he can be both literary and martial. This was granted by the Emperor of God Capital. More than ten years ago, when the Empress of God Capital ascended the throne, he made great contributions.

Therefore, Wu Xukuan is not only the leader of the cabinet, but also the only Wanhuhou of the Donggan Dynasty!

In the marquis' mansion, in the bright hall.

Wu Xukuan, who was over 60 years old but still had black hair, was having dinner. He was the only one who ate light food.

Squeak.

The door opening sound is very soft.

As soon as the old man with a white beard walked in, he took a lighter step and quickly walked to Wu Xukuan, bowed and lowered his head and whispered: "Master, there is news."

"What do you mean?" Wu Xukuan asked lightly, grabbed a peanut and threw it into his mouth, and did not stop eating.

"The family of Zhou An died, disappeared, his father was a gambling man. When Zhou An was nine years old, he lost to the gambling table. Zhou An was transferred several times and eventually sold it to Kuaidao Liu. Then he entered the palace. In recent years, Zhou An had no contact with his family. His gambling man's father also got drunk the winter of the previous year and froze to death on the street... What can be found at present is that Zhou An also has a sister named Zhou Ying. When Zhou An entered the palace, his sister was just seven years old and was already fourteen this year."

"Where are people?" Wu Xukuan asked while chewing things, never turning his head.

"In Zuihualou, now the most famous Qing Gongren in Zuihualou. Zhou Ying was sold to Zuihualou by her father who was a gambler at the age of ten."

"Bring it back." Wu Xukuan said.
