Chapter 120
As Cheng Hui kept sending people out to inquire, the sky gradually darkened, and the last news from Little Six was that Eunuch Cao did not return to the house today.
Cheng Hui is worried about this. When Li Youde is busy on weekdays, he only comes back every few days. What if Eunuch Cao only comes out for several days? Then how did she have time to inquire about the news?
There was nothing more to do for the time being, Cheng Hui asked Little Five Little Six to go out to the restaurant and pack some food back. The four people gathered in a table and ate the meal quietly.
This night, Cheng Hui forced herself to fall asleep as soon as possible so that she could have the energy to continue running for Li Youde the next day, but when she thought that Li Youde might be locked up in jail, she could not sleep at ease. Li Youde probably had a hard time when he was a child, but that was all years ago. Now that he is accustomed to being pampered, can he still eat it? Those jailers, will they fall into trouble? Would they laugh at him and insult him? Will they not give him food, or the food they give is rotten?
Cheng Hui worried all night, and barely fell asleep until the middle of the night, and woke up again before dawn, lying in bed thinking wildly.
When he heard movement outside, Cheng Hui also got up.
The sky was already bright outside, Xiaozhen cooked porridge, served with the steamed buns bought yesterday, and still had unfinished dishes. Breakfast was simply resolved.
After eating, Little Five and Little Six went out to inquire about news, Cheng Hui and Xiaozhen waited at home. Cheng Hui even followed Xiaozhen to learn to be a female red, just to pass the difficult time.
One morning passed, and when Xiaozhen was cooking lunch at noon, the two of Little Five and Little Six finally came back and brought back Huang Renhou.
When Huang Renhou saw Cheng Hui, he cried and said emotionally: "Goddamn! You have suffered!"
Cheng Hui actually thought that Huang Renhou might return to her former appearance after Li Youde was imprisoned. He didn't expect that he would still call her a godfather. At least at this moment, he still thinks that Li Youde has a chance to be rescued. Therefore, she hadn't seen his overly dramatic emotional display.
"I won't say much to be polite. It is his blessing that Eunuch Li has a godson like you who will never leave." Cheng Hui said, invited Huang Renhou to take a seat, and asked straightforwardly, "How is the situation now?"
Huang Renhou drank a big sip of tea, without turning around, and said directly: "My son ran a long circle this morning, but learned some news. Yesterday the Jingren Palace was on fire. The emperor blamed his godfather for ineffective supervision, which caused the Jingren Palace to collapse. Too fast... Afterwards, many courtiers asked the book to participate in the godfather, and the cabinet made a big effort. Now the godfather has been in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that he will be tried by the three law divisions!"
Cheng Hui's eyes narrowed. The so-called three law divisions are jointly tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They are the highest-level judicial trials. This is really bad.
"Do you know what crime the father-in-law was involved in?" Cheng Hui asked.
Huang Renhou's expression was a little weird, and he sighed: "Many... there is corruption, favoritism, scornful life... that harlot, wife and daughter..."
"Except for the last one, are all the previous charges true?" Cheng Hui asked. Damn harlot. Wife and daughter, she has been with Li Youde for a year, and I haven’t seen him have any intimacy with other women. She wants to pick his pants but can’t get off, so what does he do people?
Huang Renhou smiled and shook his head and said: "My son doesn't know too...but those courtiers are the best at putting hats on people, and they made up nine out of ten!"
Cheng Hui didn’t say anything. The editor must have it. It is a natural enemy, and it’s impossible for everyone to be a saint. It’s not unimaginable to make up the other party’s black spots when you are torn up with others, even in modern Internet curse wars. Here, there are many similar things. As long as you can defeat the opponent, what is a lie? Winning is the most important thing, what is the truth? Is it edible?
However, Huang Renhou said that almost nine out of ten are fabricated, and that is to give Li Youde face. Li Youde can come up with so many good things, and his own age is not too old, I am afraid that I don't know how much greed has been in the past few years. However, at this time Cheng Hui did not want to discuss whether Li Youde should die or not. The impeachment of Li Youde by these courtiers was not to safeguard the dignity of the law, but just a power struggle. What she has to do is to rescue Li Youde first, and other things will be discussed later.
"What about Eunuch Cao?" Cheng Hui looked at Little Six.
Little Six hurriedly said: "I have already inquired, Eunuch Cao went out of the palace last night, saying that he was unwell, and he declined to see guests."
Cheng Hui frowned. He couldn't even deliver the doorstep?
Huang Renhou hurriedly said: "Goddamn, my son happens to have some friendship with Eunuch Cao's grandson. If the goddamn wants to see Eunuch Cao, the son can get along!"
Cheng Hui's eyes lit up and he gratefully said, "Then I will trouble you."
"What's the trouble with this, the godfather's business is the son's business, and the son should do his best for the godfather!" Huang Renhou was busy showing his loyalty.
Cheng Hui smiled at him. If she can rescue Li Youde successfully, she will not forget to say a few good things to Huang Renhou in front of Li Youde. A person who did not immediately give up in a moment of crisis, he should indeed give enough benefits.
Without further ado, Cheng Hui asked Huang Renhou to contact the grandson of Eunuch Cao. Eunuch Cao is now in his fifties and said he has recognized three sons, and the one Huang Renhou knows is the son of the son whom Eunuch Cao respects the most, and naturally he is also a dude. But his godfather is the eunuch, the eunuch, what about the dude? Didn't Jingcheng let him walk sideways?
Cheng Hui gave Huang Renhou a lot of silver tickets and goodies. Gifts are indispensable for this kind of public relations activities, and Huang Renhou can't make it by himself. Huang Renhou wasn't polite with Cheng Hui, after all, he didn't have many good things to give away. Seeing that it was about noon, he didn't stay any more, and hurriedly went to the place where people usually go to stop people.
As for Cheng Hui, a few people ate lunch at home without any taste.
After hearing that Li Youde was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Cheng Hui thought about going to see him in the jail in person. Only by meeting him can he know more. However, one is that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs does not necessarily allow her to visit the prison, and the other is that she does not dare to go. Now that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has been targeted by many people, she just passed by, didn't she expose herself? At that time, people hadn't been rescued, but she herself was killed. Thanks? So she is better to keep a low profile for the time being, at least to get some inside information from Eunuch Cao first.
I just don't know... Eunuch Cao would like to say.
Cheng Hui sighed. She knew that it was risky to find Eunuch Cao. That person might sit in the mountains and watch tigers fight. Now that one party is in trouble, she might be more willing to stand by... But this risk, she has to Risk.
In the afternoon, Cheng Hui was cleaning the yard boringly. Huang Renhou rushed in, drunk, with a big tongue and said: "Fuck, goddamn, the son has done what you explained! The grandson's heart is really dark. Ah, fortunately, he promised to introduce him to you, saying that he would wait outside the door tomorrow or tomorrow afternoon. If he said it was done, he would come out and find us!"
Cheng Hui said with some worry: "He was also drunk? Will he forget about it tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, godmother, he forgot, and his little servant will never forget." Huang Renhou said with a smile, "Otherwise, it's not the golden leaf that I gave for nothing."
Cheng Hui nodded, Huang Renhou was more thoughtful than she thought. It's just that she has to wait until tomorrow...No way, she has to wait.
This day was still anxiously spent, until the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Hui, accompanied by Huang Renhou, went to Eunuch Cao to wait outside the house outside the palace.
After waiting for a while, when Cheng Hui became more and more restless, Huang Renhou suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Come out!"
He pointed to the man who came out of his head, Cheng Hui looked over, and saw that the man looked pretty, but he looked like he was not awakened from a hangover.
Huang Renhou got out of the carriage and greeted him immediately. The two said a few words, and Huang Renhou looked over and nodded to Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui hurriedly asked Little Six to bring something to give Eunuch Cao, and got out of the carriage.
"Master Cao, thank you very much." Cheng Hui walked over slowly and thanked him in a low voice.
Young Master Cao looked at Cheng Hui in surprise, glanced at Huang Renhou, and smiled frivolously: "This is your godmother? You can also be called out." He didn't expect Cheng Hui to be so young, but smaller than Huang Renhou. How old is it?
Huang Renhou couldn't see any embarrassment on his face, but the other party said it was too rude. He glanced at Cheng Hui uncomfortably, worried that she would be angry.
At the moment when he was begging for help, Cheng Hui realized that he was not qualified to be angry, so he lowered his head just as he hadn't heard.
Huang Renhou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled Young Master Cao forward, took the words over, and talked about a topic that young men like oiran like to hear.
Cheng Hui led Little Six closely behind, while Xiaozhen and Little Five were waiting outside. After all, they were begging for help. It is not good to get in too many people.
A group of people entered through the side door and walked through a veranda. Young Master Cao pointed to the front and said, "Miss Chen, right? My grandpa is waiting inside. You can just go in by yourself."
Cheng Hui was a little nervous, but still gave Little Six and Huang Renhou a soothing look, and walked straight in. She heard Mr. Cao talking to Huang Renhou about her figure and appearance in a low voice, and Huang Renhou could only hesitate to respond. She still did not hear her as she was at the door, and quickly walked into a room like a study.
A man who looked very rich, just like an ordinary wealthy businessman except without a beard, was playing with a jade sculpture. Hearing the movement, he put the jade sculpture down and turned sideways to face Cheng Hui.
Chen Hui was blessed and said softly: "Chen Huiniang, a citizen girl, has seen Father Cao."
Cao Chun looked up and down Cheng Hui, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Ms. Chen sit here."
His voice sounded very gentle, and it was easy to make people feel good, but Cheng Hui did not dare to be careless, thanked him cautiously and sat down.
"Eunuch Cao, thank you very much for your willingness to see me." After all, Cheng Hui spoke up first, "I am here now. I want to ask Eunuch Cao about Eunuch Li."
"It's not in a hurry." Cao Chun smiled, "Since I promised to see you, I don't mind helping a little bit. But before that, I really hope Miss Chen can help me solve my doubts."
"Eunuch Cao, please tell me, people and women know everything they can say, and they can say nothing." Cheng Hui was happy and said hurriedly.
Cao Chun smiled and said: "It's not a particularly difficult question to answer. Eunuch Li, hehe, is not so likable, and his identity is not for a girl like you. Good match. I'm really curious. He has already arranged a retreat for you. You can leave, so why bother to run around for him?"
He had a pair of food a few years ago, but he died of illness two years ago, and he no longer wanted to look for it. His antagonist is about the same age as him, and the two have grown up together since childhood, sharing joys and sorrows for many years, and forming an antagonist should be justified. But the girl in front of Chen was different. He heard that her father had given her to Li Youde, and she had to live her life. This is also common. Which girl's family would be happy to marry an eunuch. Therefore, he was even more curious. How could she be willing to run for Li Youde in less than a year? This person Li Youde, except for being well-behaved in front of the emperor, is not easy to get along with anyone else, so he was really curious about what curse Li Youde had cast, and asked this girl Chen to look around for him. people.
