said that he wanted to have more contact with the Salary Division, but at this time, he couldn't think of any way to contact the people in the palace. Except for stuffing a few gaps into the private house.

The three of them briefly discussed some things again, and seeing that it was not early, Yin Xuezheng let the two of them leave. The three of them went back to their own rooms and rested.

............

On the high mountain of Jingxiao, among the layers of palaces, the deepest one, Biyun Temple.

The night breeze carried a chill and blew against the temple.

In the main hall of the inner room of the courtyard, the half-old woman was half-leaning on a pair of eight immortals, looking through the newly obtained account book in her hand.

Beside the woman, bowed down stood her personal servant, Aunt Zheng.

Seeing that the woman had only flipped through the booklet for a while, the smile on her face became clearer, and Aunt Zheng asked with a smile, "Niangniang, how is this account book?"

"Well, that's good. The woman smiled and said, "Half of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are above." ”

"There are so many. Aunt Zheng couldn't help but be taken aback.

"That's all that," said the woman, smiling meaningfully as she closed the book, scribbling her fingertips on the cover page. Pushing the book in front of Aunt Zheng, he said with a smile, "Ah Bi, look at it, can you imitate the handwriting on it?"

Aunt Zheng flipped through the account book and replied, "Slaves and maids are okay." ”

"Okay," said the woman, "later I will change the names and amounts of the people on this account, and you will come out according to the two copies I have changed." ”

"Mother, this is going to be ......"

"If you want to play, you can play big," the woman sneered, "If the model is ready, one will be sent back to Old Man Guo, and one will be sent to Long Xingwei." ”

When Aunt Zheng heard this, she was stunned at first, and then sighed at the end.

Fei worked so hard to change it and came out of the mold, but it was to be sent to two people who couldn't be deceived, what does this mean?

I saw that the woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled at Aunt Zheng and said, "Abi is very strange, isn't it?"

Aunt Zheng bowed down and replied honestly: "The slave is a little unknown. ”

The woman smiled: "Didn't you say it when you first started talking. The flower-folded prostitute called for a confession before he died. The reason why Guo Quan dared to steal his original master's confidential account books was because someone encouraged him and gave him some guarantees. Who is this person? Who is the person who killed Guo Quan? Who is the person who helped the prostitute Hua Fold to escape? Have you ever thought about this?"

"This ......," Aunt Zheng replied in a low voice, "the slave has asked Furong to investigate this matter." ”

"Hehe," the woman sneered, "if I had a good estimate, Fleur would not have been able to find out." ”

"Why?" Aunt Zheng was shocked.

"Although the people of the world know that the Ministry of Officials accepts bribes and sells officials, how many people know that Jing Si Ji exists?"

Aunt Zheng pursed her lips and replied, "Gu Nu and Maiden know, Long Xingwei knows. ”

"Abi thinks that Long Xingwei is leading this matter?"

"It's possible. ”

The woman shook her head: "But I thought that this matter actually had little to do with Long Xingwei. ”

Aunt Zheng was shocked again: "Niangniang, why do you think so?"

"Since Long Xingwei knew about the existence of Jizi, he has always wanted to get it. If they were really in charge of this, why did this episode fall into our hands now?"

"Perhaps, after Guo Quan got the set, he carried Long Xingwei again, so he attracted the disaster of killing. Aunt Zheng guessed.

"Who are those prostitutes who have escaped?"

"This ......," Aunt Zheng shook her head, "the slave can't guess." ”

"Did Abi ever think about it, this thing was very strange from the beginning. ”

"How's that going wrong?"

The woman sneered: "If my guess is correct, the person who encouraged Guo Quan to steal the Jing Si Ji never thought of getting this set from the beginning. ”

Aunt Zheng was surprised: "Then what does he want to do?"

"In order to cause trouble, disrupt the situation, and even the world. The woman's cheeks were as cold as ice, "This person's ability is really not small, and he was able to involve Lu Shen in the first place." Because of this, even us have now been introduced into his bureau. It's really capable. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Zheng's face changed in shock, this time she was really taken aback, and her body couldn't help shaking: "Niangniang said that Lu Shen went to Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible yesterday, and it was also the bureau set up by that person?"

"Now it seems that it is very possible. ”

"That ......"

Aunt Zheng didn't know what to say for a while. She had never thought about this possibility. Early this morning, I heard that Lu Shen had gone to Shuntian Mansion, and immediately got the Jing Si Ji that everyone grabbed their heads, and she also secretly praised the flexible hands and feet of the eunuch in charge of the Salary Division. But I never thought that this matter was most likely led by others.

Now that Hua Zhen is dead, even fewer people know about it. It's even harder to find out who is behind this.

As Niangniang said, this person is really good.

I don't know what this person who is hiding in the shadows and quietly planning all this wants to do.

Is it really as Niangniang said, just to disrupt the situation and disrupt the world? Isn't that just like her mother!

Is this man also crazy?

Is it for fear that the world will not be chaotic?

The more I thought about it, the colder it became.

But I heard her mother say again: "Lu Shen, although I don't want to doubt him, but Abi, you'd better pay more attention to him when you go down." ”

"Niangniang Yu Lu Shen is gracious, he shouldn't be ......"

"Abi thinks badly, I don't doubt that Lu Shen has the intention to harm me. The woman waved her hand and said, "It's just that he has been silent for too long, and he can't hold back his thoughts for a while, and he is very likely to be used by others without knowing it." ”

Aunt Zheng's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she bowed down and replied, "Yes, the slave will pay more attention to him when she goes down." ”

The woman nodded when she heard this, although she didn't say anything more, but when it came to this, even Aunt Zheng had to wonder if the book of meditation they got in their hands was real?

Perhaps, this is also a pretext that others sent to them after they came to the mold?

............

In the courtyard of the Jin family on the outskirts of Beijing, the sun was bright, and under the clouds, wind and water, Han Qihai, who was sitting in the middle of the house, pinched the news he had just received with one hand, leaned on the pavilion beam, and fell into contemplation for a while.

Jin Yunan, who was sitting on another stone bench with him, saw this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the difficulty of the third young man?"

Han Qihai raised his eyes when he heard this, and nodded with a light smile: "I just received the news, the flower is dead." ”

Hey, who's dead?

Jin Yunan's inflexible brain turned a few times, and then he remembered the murder case of Tianxiang Pavilion that he heard two days ago, and said strangely: "Why are you dead again, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, don't even do the business of turning over the dead." ”

Han Qihai couldn't help but shake his head: "Brother Jin thinks it's wrong, that prostitute died in Shuntian Mansion, and he hanged himself." ”

"What, suicidal. Jin Yunan grabbed a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp, "Is this Shuntianfu so dark, people are forced to commit suicide as soon as they are caught." ”

Han Qihai shook his head again, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip: "Now the situation is unclear, Long Xingwei's people have intervened in this case, and I don't know what happened to Miss Liu." ”

"Although she is in Long Xingwei, she may not be involved in this case. "Kim Woo Nam Road.

"Participated, Miss Liu was in Shuntian Mansion last night, and sent the ninth son of the Ye family to Pear Blossom Lane a little later. ”

"Ye family, which Ye family, what's wrong with Pear Blossom Lane?" Jin Yunan said puzzled.

Han Qihai smiled faintly with a bitter taste: "It's Jianning Hou Ye's family, and Ye Zhiqiu, the fifth son of the Ye family, has a private house in Pear Blossom Lane." ”

"Ye Zhiqiu, the Ye Zhiqiu who is called the smiling fox by the people of the rivers and lakes?"

"Exactly. ”

Jin Yunan shook his head and smiled: "Oh, it's really this person." That's a capable person, and he walked the rivers and lakes alone at the age of sixteen. However, in just three years, he has made a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes and won the title of smiling fox. Eight years ago, he was less than twenty, so he withdrew from the rivers and lakes and returned to the court. ”

"Well, he is now in charge of the position of imperial historian, and it is intrinsically related to the case of Tianxiang Pavilion. Also, Ye Zhiqiu also went to Shuntian Mansion last night. ”

"Haha, this guy also went, then last night's Shuntian Mansion was not very lively. Kim Yunan said with a smile.

"It's very lively," Han Qihai smiled very meaningfully, "I heard that even people from the palace have come." ”

Then the prostitute's death was not easy. Could it be the handiwork of Ye Fox?" guessed Jin Yunan.

Han Qihai shook his head: "Ye Zhiqiu is unlikely. Last night, Jiang Zhutou of Shuntian Mansion was also there, and his friendship with Ye Zhiqiu was not shallow. ”

"So many people went to Suncheonfu just for a prostitute. ”

"No, it's for a booklet. ”

"Oh, what booklet?"

"The booklet of the selling officer. ”

"Selling officials?" Jin Yunan slapped the table, "This court is really fucking black." ”

"Yes," Chao Qihai sighed, "I said a month ago that I would wait for something, and I didn't want this to come so soon." ”

Jin Yunan turned his face and asked, "What are you going to do when the three young people come down?"

"Let's wait. ”

The Han family is actively waiting, but the Qianqing Palace in the depths of the imperial city can only wait passively.

In the Qianqing Palace, when Qin Siyang received two pieces of information and learned that Hua Zhe was dead, it was already night.

The information in both places was brought in by Xin'er.

Now that there are concubines in the harem, Wei Hua is no longer convenient to enter the palace. Therefore, the news of the Han Mansion coming in was mostly delivered by Li Chaochen or two concubines who lived in the Qianqing Palace.

Xin'er was one of the two, and the only one who knew that Qin Siyang had another source of information. Although he didn't know that this other place was actually Long Xingwei, an institution that was only responsible to the emperor in the first place.

Like everyone else, as soon as Qin Siyang saw the news, he guessed that Hua Zhe's death was forced by others, and the people in the Salary Division were the biggest suspects.

Although he has been in this deep palace for many years, the eunuchs in the palace have not had much contact. Qin Siyang, the supervision office in charge of procurement, has never been in contact with it.

But that inner factory that once competed with Long Xingwei, Qin Siyang was very clear.

Only after Qin Siyang learned the news, although he was the first to suspect the Salary Division, the first thing that came to mind was: I don't know if that Ming Jieyu from Jingyang Palace knows the news, whether he should go there to investigate. Thinking about it, it seems that he hasn't been to Jingyang Palace for three days, and he should go there to show up, so that there will be another conversation in the palace, and there will be some topics to talk about after dinner.
