Chapter 312

The little eunuch who was driving did not dare to delay and hurried toward the front gate of Dong Zhuo's residence.

"Go and notify the people inside, someone from the palace has arrived," the little eunuch said, standing in front of Dong Zhuo's residence, his voice high and thin.

The guards guarding the gate did not dare to be negligent when they heard it was someone from the palace, so they hurriedly told the little eunuch to wait a moment and went inside to report.

Not long after.

Dong Zhuo, Duan Yu, and Li Ru walked out from the gate.

Dong Zhuo stepped forward to welcome them with a smile on his face.

The eunuch raised his chin and said directly: "My name is Zuo Feng, and I am a Small Huangmen in the palace. His Majesty has an edict; which one of you is Duan Yu?"

Zuo Feng's gaze did not focus on Dong Zhuo and the others at all, and he didn't even look at them.

Duan Yu followed behind Dong Zhuo.

Hearing the name Zuo Feng, he immediately thought of one person.

Lu Zhi.

In the later stages of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhi led his troops to surround Zhang Jiao's base, Guangzong.

At that time, the army supervisor sent to Lu Zhi's army was a Small Huangmen named Zuo Feng.

Because he did not receive a bribe from Lu Zhi, the Small Huangmen named Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang in a fit of anger and presented slanderous words to Liu Hong.

This led to Lu Zhi being taken to Luoyang in a prisoner's carriage and nearly losing his life because of it.

Looking at the attitude of this Small Huangmen named Zuo Feng, it was likely the same person.

Duan Yu stepped forward and bowed: "I am Duan Yu."

Hearing Duan Yu's voice, Zuo Feng turned his head to look at Duan Yu.

When he saw Duan Yu's tall stature, Zuo Feng was slightly stunned.

"Heh, you look like a talent."

"You are entering the palace to receive an appointment by imperial edict, so you must first understand the etiquette of the palace. I am here by imperial order to teach you the etiquette of the palace, so as not to offend the nobles when you enter the palace."

"This afternoon, I will teach you the etiquette for entering the palace; how much you can learn depends on your own ability."

"If you can't learn it, and you lose your manners when you enter the palace, don't say I didn't do my best."

"Did you hear clearly?"

Duan Yu smiled and nodded: "I understand."

Zuo Feng flicked his sleeves and said no more, walking straight into the main gate of the residence.

He didn't even say a word to Dong Zhuo or Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo, who was to the side, had a dark face, and his smiling face disappeared.

After Zuo Feng had walked into the gate on his own, Dong Zhuo reached out and pulled Duan Yu, whispering: "These filthy things from the palace don't recognize anything but money."

"I feel sick just looking at his behavior; just give him some money later."

"I can't be bothered to look at him."

Duan Yu smiled and nodded: "I understand, Father-in-law."

After giving instructions, Dong Zhuo flicked his sleeves and left with Li Ru.

Not long after, Duan Yu accompanied Zuo Feng to the main hall in the front courtyard.

Zuo Feng, standing in the main hall, looked around, his face full of disdain.

Duan Yu saw it in his eyes.

The current appearance of this Small Huangmen was the ultimate display of "a dog acting on its master's power."

"I trouble you, Eunuch, to come here in person."

"The environment in my home is simple, and I hope you don't mind."

Saying this, Duan Yu turned his head to look at Tie Shitou, who was following behind, and waved his hand: "Shitou, go and bring the gift prepared for the Eunuch."

Hearing what Duan Yu said behind him, Zuo Feng, who was looking around the hall, turned his head.

The disdainful and impatient look from just a moment ago changed instantly.

When he saw Tie Shitou carrying a heavy wooden box and placing it in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Duan Yu smiled and opened the lid of the wooden box directly.

Inside were neatly arranged gold cakes.

"You have worked hard, Eunuch. Here are five hundred gold pieces; please accept them as a small token of my respect."

Five hundred gold pieces.

One gold piece is ten thousand coins, so five hundred gold pieces is five million coins.

It's not a huge amount, but it's definitely not small.

At the very least, for the Small Huangmen Zuo Feng, this was definitely a significant income.

Perhaps he hadn't expected Duan Yu to be so generous, and when he saw the five hundred gold pieces in front of him, Zuo Feng was even a bit dazed.

"Eunuch?"

It wasn't until Duan Yu's reminder sounded that Zuo Feng came back to his senses.

"Oh my, Lord Duan, look at this, how can I accept this?"

Zuo Feng, who had immediately changed his face, smiled from ear to ear and said: "I am just here to teach Lord Duan the etiquette for entering the palace to see the Emperor; how can I deserve such a generous gift?"

Duan Yu smiled.

Sure enough, money can make the devil turn the mill.

Although these eunuchs in the palace were greedy for money.

They could really get things done.

As long as the money was there, dealing with this group of people was much easier than dealing with those aristocratic families.

Isn't that what money is for?

"You are too kind, Eunuch," Duan Yu said with a smile: "I am just a reckless man from the countryside and don't understand the etiquette of the palace, so I have to trouble you to put in more effort."

Saying this, Duan Yu also gave a wink to Tie Shitou behind him: "Load the box onto the Eunuch's carriage."

After this set of operations by Duan Yu, Zuo Feng no longer had any of his previous arrogance.

"What effort? Don't worry, Lord Duan. When you enter the palace, I will personally lead you, and there will be no mistakes," Zuo Feng said with narrowed, smiling eyes.
