Chapter 57 The reward from the palace is delivered to your door


Chapter 57: The reward from the palace is delivered to the door
Bite a bite of the servant’s flesh?

In the carriage, Zhao Duan's expression changed slightly, and he was moved by the other party's proposal.

He finally realized what Yuan Li was looking for today.

"Servant Pei is also from the Li Party?" Although it was a question, it was in a declarative tone.

"Yes." Yuan Li said calmly, "And he is a very important one. Your Majesty has the idea of ​​replacing him recently."

Shocking news.

Zhao Duan took a deep breath:
"Mr. Yuan is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and supervises all officials. His Majesty wants to deal with Minister Pei, but he cannot do it himself. He needs Gong Yuan to do it."

Yuan Li nodded:

"Your Majesty and I are ready, but we need an opportunity and a valid reason."

The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.

Zhao Duan was silent for a moment:
"Mr. Yuan thinks that I can create an opportunity by biting a gap in Shilang Pei's body? You think too highly of me."

He gradually understood everything.

The empress continued to weaken Li Dang, but Li Yanfu was too powerful to move, so he started with Pei Shilang, and Yuan Li took over the task.

Just as Zhao Duan reported to the Royal Garden and showed his ability to "climb and bite to get involved", Yuan Li tried to get him to join the gang.

The previous series of conversations in the car were tests without leaving any trace.

The punishment given to Lu Liang was considered a benefit.

That makes sense.

"I said, I have a good eye for people," Yuan Li smiled:

"At your age and status, you know how to defile yourself, and you can deceive the whole world. This alone makes you extraordinary."

Ah, this... I said this is a beautiful misunderstanding, do you believe it... Zhao Duan hesitated to speak, unable to explain.

He thought for a while: "Dare I ask, is this what Your Majesty meant?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know," Yuan Li shook his head and said:

"I made an impromptu decision. So, you have to think carefully. If you are in trouble, don't dare to refuse because you are afraid of offending me."

The more you say this, the more afraid I am... Zhao Duan can't complain.

But he was indeed not afraid.

As the loyal dog under Xu Zhenguan's skirt, he was promoted as a worshiper, and he had just been rewarded by the empress. With Yuan Li's vision and magnanimity, it made no sense and would not target him.

On the contrary, if you think about it carefully, it may be a good thing for him.

Things like dealing with the Zhang brothers and being accidentally involved in Prince Jing's Mansion are not the norm after all.

If you want to achieve meritorious service, rather than expending your energy on a small official similar to yourself, it is better to bet on a big one.

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

If you fail, you have nothing to lose.

Offended Minister Pei?
Haha... From the moment he planned to bite Li Yanfu, he was no longer afraid of offending anyone except the empress.

And this kind of gluttonous feast for a "minister", given his status, unless he happened to meet Yuan Li, he would have no way to sit at the table!
Even if he could only get a small piece when it came time to reward him for his merits, it was still enough to satisfy him.

"What does Mr. Yuan want me to do?" Zhao Duan asked thoughtfully.

Da Qingyi shook his head:
"If there is only one infantryman who can carry the flag and charge, there are many in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you want to join, you have to think about it yourself and find a way to catch Pei Shilang's sore feet."

After a pause, he added:

"It cannot be a false accusation, it must be real evidence of guilt."

Zhao Duan smiled bitterly and said:

"The evidence of a servant's crime... With my status, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in."

Yuan Li smiled and said: "Life is short, why not give it a try?"

Zhao Duan was silent for a moment and said:

"What's the benefit? If I can do it, how much can I eat?"

Yuan Liwaner:

"You are the only person I have asked for benefits face to face in the past ten years."

Zhao Duan smiled and said:
"I am a villain. Everyone in the capital knows that villains don't want shame, they just want real benefits."

He was not worried, so he hated the imperial censor.

Because the more high-end the bureau is, the more reassuring it is to express its requirements clearly.

As expected, after hearing this, the elegant and handsome imperial censor smiled and said: "If you can do it, I will personally ask your Majesty for your credit. Not only that, I will also give you an extra reward." What’s the benefit?”

Zhao Duan didn't ask what the benefit was. It seemed like he was too lowly. He didn't hesitate when he heard this:

"It's a deal!"

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Duan got off the car and left on foot.

Watching him go away, the servant with ordinary eyebrows and hidden aura outside the carriage said curiously:

"Sir, do you think this person is really feasible? Minister Pei is very cautious. We haven't found anything wrong. He alone..."

Yuan Li sat in the car with a relaxed attitude, with green smoke from the incense burner in front of him, and he spoke calmly:

"Why not give it a try? There may be an unexpected surprise."

In his words, he didn't seem to think that Zhao Duan could really do it.

"A good chess player does not have to be careful every step. Every move has a clear purpose. Sometimes, it may be better to just put in one or two free moves at will."

Yuan Li said, holding up the incense burner, closing his eyes and saying: "Go back." He wanted to smoothly replace a third-grade official without paying too much. It is definitely not something that the emperor can do with just one word.

Rather, it is a huge project that requires too much preparation, and it is up to him to arrange it.

As for Zhao Duan?
It’s just a casual move.

After Zhao Duan said goodbye to Yuan Li, he did not return home immediately. Instead, he touched the three thousand taels of silver notes in his arms and extorted them.

He went straight to the best rouge shop in the capital, and then to a place that sold warrior medicine, and purchased a few items.

Prepare to take it back to Eugene Hua and Zhao Pan.

I didn’t buy too much, after all, the character needs to be changed a little bit, not to mention...

"At this time, the silk and satin rewarded by the palace should have been delivered to the door." Zhao Duan thought, suddenly looking forward to the expressions of the mother and daughter.

Zhao family, back house.

When Eugene Hua, who was wearing a dark green satin dress, plump and beautiful with graceful curves, held the wound medicine and gently opened the door of her daughter's boudoir.

At the table, she saw Zhao Pan, wearing only small clothes, flipping through the "Martial Arts Secret Book" that she had dug out like a treasure.

"Why did you get up so randomly? Go back to bed and recuperate." Eugene Hua sounded reproachful, but in fact he was concerned.

Zhao Pan turned his head and pursed his lips, looking guilty:

"mother……"

On the face of the girl Guazi, with disheveled temples, high bridge of nose, and autumn-like eyes, she looked even more outstanding than her mother when she was young.

"Get down quickly and take off all your clothes so that I can apply medicine to you."

With a straight face, Eugene Hua urged his daughter to lie down on the bed:

"What will happen if there are scars on my daughter's body?"

Zhao Pan lay down dejectedly, and when Eugene Hua saw the red marks all over her snow-white and slender body, back, buttocks, and legs, she couldn't help but feel sore eyes and feel heartbroken:

"Does it hurt?"

It has been a day since Zhao Duan beat his sister with a bamboo pole...

Yes, although so much has happened, the timeline has only advanced by one day.

"It really doesn't hurt..."

Zhao Pan was full of energy, not pretending to comfort him, but he really didn't feel any pain.

Strangely enough, when Zhao Duan was whipped yesterday, his whole body was indeed stinging unbearably. After returning to the room and applying the wound medicine, his whole body was also weak.

But after sleeping, Zhao Pan unexpectedly found that the pain was greatly relieved and his body felt lighter and more comfortable.

It was as if being whipped with a bamboo pole had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du.

She had never felt her body so light.

"Mom, I suspect that I have succeeded in practicing martial arts!" Zhao Pan said mysteriously and slightly excitedly:
"Don't all the stories in the story say that a martial artist fights with others and breaks through after being injured?"

Of course she would not have thought that the comfort of her body was the work of the "Zhongshan Wolf" who bullied their mother and daughter since childhood.

I just thought that I was practicing martial arts secretly and achieved something.

"What nonsense!"

Eugene Flowers does not approve of her daughter's martial arts practice.

What's more, this time he got beaten up by his stepson again. When he saw the "secret book" on the table, he became angry and threatened to tear it up.

Zhao Pan hurriedly snatched it, hugged the book to his chest, and said stubbornly: "Mom, men are the most unreliable. My daughter wants to practice martial arts. When she becomes powerful, the next time someone breaks into the door and bullies you, I'll kill him!"

She poked the scarecrow with a dagger that day because she was stimulated by Zhang Changji's break-in.

Eugene Flower was angry and moved:

"But there is no martial arts practice in my daughter's family. If outsiders come, there will be your eldest brother..."

"Him?" Zhao Pan didn't believe it. "If he doesn't join forces with outsiders to bully us, he will burn high incense."

Eugene was speechless.

After all, the stepson beat his daughter severely just yesterday.

At this time, he fell silent, his eyes were red, and he applied medicine to her wound quietly.

Because he had no money and couldn't afford good medicine for his wounds, Eugene Flower could only apply it thickly over and over again.

At the same time, he was thinking about it, taking out the last bit of jewelry he had packed at the bottom of the box, and went to the pawn shop to exchange for silver to buy his daughter's special wound medicine for martial artists.

Well, if you can sell the extra money, you can also buy Zhao Pan a piece of decent silk and make a new skirt.

My daughter's family is at the age of a wealthy woman, so how can she not have any good clothes?

As for her... she can survive no matter what.

inside the room.

In the silence between mother and daughter, time flows quietly.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, as if a large group of people were coming in.

"What happened?"

Eugene Hua and Zhao Pan became nervous, fearing that Zhao Duan's enemies would come to visit again.
