Chapter 53
Butler Chen uses one of his a.s.sistants; Xiao Gan to find Yu w.a.n.g's elite guard vice-captain; Weis.h.i.+ er. This old eunuch needed advice from the vice-captain to send someone who could help him complete the task given by w.a.n.gfei.
"Butler Chen, why are you looking for me?"
A tall, burly man wearing blue elite guard uniform with Yu w.a.n.g's symbol sewn on the upper sleeve walked inside Butler Chen's office. The man looked quiet and straightforward. Butler Chen also saw the man growing up with Yu w.a.n.g and had a good relations.h.i.+p with him. Weis.h.i.+ er and the guards from the elite guard team joined Yu w.a.n.g at war when Yu w.a.n.g was sent to the battlefield. This man's loyalty to Yu w.a.n.g could not be doubted.
"Come inside and sit down first, Xiao er. This old one needs your help to completed w.a.n.gfei's request this time."
"Oh? w.a.n.gfei request? What is it?"
"Well, you are Yu w.a.n.g's elite guard vice-captain from team one, you know w.a.n.gfei's life story so far." Butler Chen looks at Weis.h.i.+ er while he talks about this. Weis.h.i.+ er nods, he knows about w.a.n.gfei miserable life before married to his prince.
"You know w.a.n.gfei had five heritage stores and the profit from the stores never reached w.a.n.gfei's hands."
"Yes, I know that when I following Yu w.a.n.g to find out about w.a.n.gfei's life history inside the Su Family. All of them is so bad treating her since little like that just because of her mother's heritage."
"It's good that you know all about it. This old eunuch doesn't need to tell you again."
"Does Butler Chen want me to help you teach the Su family a lesson? I will help you with pleasure."
Weis.h.i.+ er seemed interested in the potential to teach the greedy Su family members because they all like to take w.a.n.gfei's heritage shop profits. Yu w.a.n.g already recognized w.a.n.gfei as his legal wife and they all see how Yu w.a.n.g loves
"No, this old one just want you to choose some guards to help to chase these people on the list out from w.a.n.gfei's heritage shops."
Butler Chen gives the paper contain the name list from the Su family member who works in w.a.n.gfei's heritage shops to Weis.h.i.+ er. Inside the paper, there are more than ten names from two shops belong to w.a.n.gfei. These people, all of them are members of the Su family.
"Alright, I'll send people to chase them out today."
Taking the name list, Weis.h.i.+ er went to the base of the guards who were in the middle of the forest near Yu w.a.n.g's residence. One of the reasons Yu w.a.n.g was given a residence near the forest by the previous emperor was to place all these elite guards inside the forest without other people found out.
"Team one Vice Captain!"
While walking to the biggest wooden building inside the forest, Weis.h.i.+ er meet other guards lurking around the forest who's greeting him. This forest not just become the homes for all the elite guards, the shadow guards also live here while they all on break from following around Yu w.a.n.g. This forest also used to be their training ground.
Getting inside the base, Weis.h.i.+ er walking inside his office. He told some guards team leaders to attend a sudden meeting. Waiting for a while, all team leader staying inside the base gathered inside the meeting room, next to the office. The team leaders all salute to Weis.h.i.+ er when they all see him sitting at the head seat.
"Team one Vice Captain!"
"Sit down."
All the team leaders sit in the chair's base on their team number. After all of them seated, Weis.h.i.+ er looking around them, tried to choose the team he wants to use to completed w.a.n.gfei's request.
"Why are you looking at us like that, Team one Vice Captain?" One of the team leaders can't help to ask because Weis.h.i.+ er looks odd.
"Hmm, I got a request from w.a.n.gfei to help her."
"Request from w.a.n.gfei?!"
"Yea, w.a.n.gfei needs our help to clean up some pest from the Su Family who's still linger inside her heritage shops and taken all the shops profits."
Weis.h.i.+ er frankly told w.a.n.gfei's request to all the existing team leaders. All of these people knew w.a.n.gfei's life history since Yu w.a.n.g knew it. Guards are also superior gossipers. They all need to know all of that just so they never step at the wrong ones. It would be a disaster if they were wrong in acting without knowing something is taboos for their Master.
"Taking care of the pests from the Su family for w.a.n.gfei? Brother, you must choose my team; the third team! The second team has become w.a.n.gfei's guard team. They no longer need to help w.a.n.gfei in this matter, you must send my team."
The head of the third team starts to complain to the first team vice-captain. Growing up together with Weis.h.i.+ er, the head of the third team; Weis.h.i.+ san was not ashamed to complain to him. This head from the third team also wants to help w.a.n.gfei.
The elite guard team owned by Yu w.a.n.g was divided into ten teams. All of the team heads were orphans who were personally trained by the chief eunuchs of the previous Emperor for Yu w.a.n.g. The emperor had previously sought forty orphans with a talent for martial arts for his queen's two children. These forty children were divided into two groups and given to Yu w.a.n.g and also the current Emperor as their bodyguards.
