Chapter 388

But what surprised countless audience members was...

the Zhao Gao who appeared before Gao Yao...

seemed completely different from what they imagined!

Not only was he timid in his conduct, but he also had a fatal stutter! He absolutely couldn't survive in the officialdom!

Looking at Zhao Gao, who didn't look like he could accomplish anything,

Gao Yao was also dumbfounded.

But the atmosphere had already been built up to this point.

Gao Yao had to grit his teeth and get this done.

He immediately intercepted the thousand-year-old wild mountain ginseng that County Magistrate Zhao Gao was going to offer.

He took the other party directly to curry favor with the most powerful eunuch in the entire imperial court!

Gao Yao now, although he also manages the eunuchs in the entire inner palace,

cannot be compared at all to the Deputy who truly handles internal affairs beside Qin Wang, keeps the Imperial Seal for Qin Wang, and serves beside the Emperor day and night—the Prefect of the Central Carriage!

"Brother Zhao, who I am taking you to see today is the Prefect of the Central Carriage! This is the most powerful lord in the inner palace!"

"If Brother Zhao wants to win the Emperor's favor, you must rely on the Prefect to speak more good words for you!"

Gao Yao urged him before the door.

But such communication was clearly too difficult for the stuttering Zhao Gao.

After stuttering a few times, it was Gao Yao who guessed the other party's meaning.

"Brother Zhao, look at it this way: you are naturally tongue-tied, so when we see the lord in a moment, I will do the talking! You just need to nod and say 'good'!"

Gao Yao urged him again.

He almost wanted to pave the way for everything for Zhao Gao to avoid the other party's stutter ruining things.

"My lord, I have come here today to introduce a talent to you."

Facing the arrogant Prefect of the Central Carriage who wouldn't even look at him,

Gao Yao's attitude was extremely humble.

"This is County Magistrate Zhao Gao of Shan County."

"I feel that Brother Zhao is truly too talented for the position of County Magistrate, and I hope you can promote him!"

But the Prefect of the Central Carriage disdainfully glanced at the two of them and said nothing.

Seeing this,

Gao Yao stepped forward directly.

He offered the ginseng box in his hand.

"My lord, this is a thousand-year-old wild mountain ginseng!"

"This ginseng grows in freezing cold places! It only grows one inch every hundred years! Each inch can extend life by one year! This old mountain ginseng is ten inches long!"

"It needs to be divided into eighty-one portions and taken over eighty-one days! After taking it, one can extend their life by ten years! This is something that no amount of gold or silver can buy!"

Following Gao Yao's introduction,

the Prefect of the Central Carriage gradually began to value the box in front of him.

Especially when he heard it could extend life by ten years,

he carried a look of surprise on his face and picked up the box to sniff it carefully.

"Can this really... extend life by ten years?"

"My lord! This was originally what Brother Zhao was going to offer to the Emperor! But he kept you in mind, my lord! He specially saved it for you!"

"Hahaha, seeing that you have a heart, then I will accept it?"

The Prefect of the Central Carriage had a rosy smile on his face, waving his hand while examining the old mountain ginseng.

"Alright, come to the office tomorrow morning to find me, I'll see if there are any vacancies!"

"Thank you, my lord!!"

Suddenly,

seeing that the matter was done, Gao Yao left with Zhao Gao with endless joy.

Afterwards, he rushed to Yi Xiaochuan's mansion without stopping, wanting to share the joy.

Humming a song, he ran to Yi Xiaochuan.

"Xiaochuan!"

"Major discovery! I found Zhao Gao!"

Gao Yao looked around vigilantly, then said solemnly to Yi Xiaochuan:

"We don't have to worry about our wealth and glory anymore!"

"Hey, didn't you say there was no one by that name in the palace eunuch register?!"

"I think history was written wrong! This Zhao Gao isn't a eunuch, so of course his name isn't there! I found him in the official register!"

Gao Yao happily shared his discovery with Yi Xiaochuan.

But he didn't observe that Yi Xiaochuan's expression had already begun to change, and he continued talking to himself:

"He is just a small County Magistrate now, but I will help him climb up and up!"

"What are you saying??"

"Hey, listen to me! I'm going to cultivate Zhao Gao! And you, you just rely on Princess Yushu! We will definitely be able to rise to prominence in the future!"

"Old Gao! Let me tell you, Zhao Gao will be a sinner who brings disaster to the country and the people in the future! We cannot be complicit with him!"

Yi Xiaochuan immediately stopped Gao Yao's fantasy.

The expression on his face was very serious.

But Gao Yao was full of questions.

Group: 703216220

"Why??"

"What do you mean why? He's a bad person!"

"Hey Xiaochuan, how did you become like this? We were bullied like this just because we had no power or influence! Now that we've met someone with power and influence, why have you become so strange??"

Gao Yao was anxious and looked at the Yi Xiaochuan in front of him, very puzzled.

In his urgency, he took off his hat and continued, somewhat heatedly:

"How can you be like this? I've been thinking about you the whole time! You keep saying we don't want money or power, then let me ask you, how are you going to live? Do you still want to be bullied?"

Facing Gao Yao's questioning,

Yi Xiaochuan opened his mouth but couldn't say any words of rebuttal.

But he still turned away, opposing Gao Yao's behavior.

Regarding the bullying Gao Yao spoke of, Yi Xiaochuan didn't have a very profound experience.

So at this moment, he couldn't understand Gao Yao's thinking at all!

And seeing Yi Xiaochuan was impervious to reason, Gao Yao was also so angry that he flicked his sleeves and left. ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
