This secret letter is an urgent secret letter of 800 miles from the capital, which was sent from the official post to the six gates of Jinling.

According to the confidentiality system of official documents of the imperial court, this secret official document is generally read and approved by the prefect and then transferred to the Jianghu Division. Since it was written on the letterhead that Su Youzhen and Zhang Youqian personally opened it, Zhuge Baked Cake called the two of us to the six doors.

I was holding the letterhead and was about to leave, Zhuge baked cakes and said, Su Zhutou, Zhang Zhutou, although this matter is directly written by the six doors, but as the direct leader of the six doors, I think it is better to take a look at it together?

I said that this does not meet the regulations, Zhuge Baked Cake laughed and said, Lord Song doesn't look at it, we are all a system, do we still need to avoid it? I think it's right, so I handed over the secret letter, Zhuge Baked Cake opened, found that there was still an envelope in it, looked at it, and even handed the letterhead to the two of us, saying that I still don't read it.

As a result, the secret letter, it turned out that Lu Zhongyuan wrote a sentence on the envelope inside, if this matter is introduced to the eyes of a third party, it will be killed!

Back at the Jianghu Division, Zhang Youqian closed the doors and windows and lit a candlestick. I said this is our territory, sneaky in broad daylight, do you want to be like an underground worker? Zhang Youqian said Be careful that the wall has ears. I snorted, as long as you don't read it, where do you get the ears?

When I opened it, it was the familiar handwriting of the old grandson.

It will be burned immediately after reading.

Two boys, seeing the words as they are, how did you two live in Jinling? Are the ten scenes of Jinling beautiful? Ten acres of peach blossoms are not gorgeous? Also, the twelve hairpins of Qinhuai are not waves, and I really miss the days when I was on an errand in Jinling. My old man has been very busy recently, Lu Zhongyuan's kid is still powerful, now our seven doors have been restructured, twelve elites have been transferred from six doors, and a seven-door special operation group has been established, I believe that under my leadership, we will reproduce the scenery of our seven doors and twelve Taibao.

I heard Chen Qingyang say that the predecessor of the Seven Doors was the Dengwen Academy, which was specially reported to the emperor, and it was a spy organization of the Six Gates, responsible for assassination, intelligence, and serious case investigations. Twenty years ago, for unknown reasons, the imperial court directly banned Qifang, and Qifen gradually became a property management company responsible for logistics services.

The old grandson is not serious, he read two pages, and he wrote all trivial things, which is really a waste of the official post system of the imperial court. The letter said that Zhang Youqian was also promoted to one of the 13 Taibao, and I, as the old man of the Seven Doors, was merciful and appointed me as the chief manager of the Seven Doors.

At the end of the letterhead, it was a ridiculous assignment, asking me to do a survey with Zhang Youqian, to conduct a thorough investigation of all the people surnamed "Wu" in Jinling City, and to secretly investigate a person named Wu Siliu.

Zhang Youqian and I stared at each other with big eyes, what kind of top-secret mission is this, and it will be burned immediately after reading it. I said that since Lao Sun Tou secretly confessed, the headquarters of the six doors must have a deep meaning, this matter is so important, Zhang Zhutou has a great responsibility, don't mess up the things assigned by the superiors.

Zhang Youqian said that I will do it. I pointed to the secret letter and said that Zhang Zhutou is now one of the thirteen Taibao, if you don't do it, will I be in charge of logistics?

At this time, it happened that Jiang Nan knocked on the door and came in, Zhang Youqian glanced at him, and said, Jiang Nan has been in the Jianghu Division for nearly a month now, how do you feel? Jiang Nan said excitedly, thanks to the cultivation of the two adults, the little one has changed from a little beggar to a public official of the imperial court, and now he is walking sideways in Jinling City!

Zhang Youqian pretended to be solemn and said, the organization asked you to do this business, that is a trust in you, don't let us down a piece of kindness. There's a difficult task here, and I'm thinking about it with Master Su, and only you can do it.

Jiang Nan said thank you Lord Zhang for promoting, and said, Lord Zhang, which girl do you fall into, I will rob it for you.

Zhang Youqian said that the girl I fancy is still robbed? So, you go to the household department to check and conduct a thorough investigation of the surname Wu in our Jinling City, and I will see the report within ten days.

Jiang Nan said my lord, I know this Jinling City well, I have lived here for more than 40 years, and there is no one surnamed Wu in the city. Zhang Youqian said unhappily, let you do it, you will do it, where is so much nonsense?

Jiang Nanlian was ordered to go, and I sighed, it's really a big lazy command to be lazy, and a little lazy doesn't move. As a result, the two of us didn't take it seriously, but it almost led to a monstrous disaster, which is a later story, so let's not mention it for the time being.

There are three days in the Jiangnan Spring Festival, the previous Spring Festival was responsible for the Jinling garrison and Jiangnan Xuezheng, but this year the Ming Emperor Zhu Runze came to Jinling to preside over the spring test, so it was very grand, and our six doors were also dispatched to assist, and the Jianghu Division was no exception.

The prefect of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to this, organized six doors to give a lecture, saying that the imperial examination is an important ceremony of the country, and asked us to do a good job in the security work of this spring festival, do a good job in noise prevention and control during the spring examination, and ordered the business district around Confucius Temple to prohibit operation, so as to create a good external environment for the spring festival.

Jiangnan School Palace has a total of 3,000 houses, distributed in the north and south of the central axis of the school palace, according to the thousand-character text "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Universe Flood Wilderness" arrangement order, I don't know whether it is intentional or coincidental, our Jianghu Division was assigned to the four rows of heaven and earth Xuanhuang number house invigilation. On the same day, after we finished assigning the task, Zhuge Baked Cake held a banquet to entertain us at Zhuge Salted Fish Cheap Square.

I didn't want to go, but Zhuge Baked Cake insisted on it, saying that the Jinling Tongzhi Lord, who was in charge of academic politics, would also participate. On the way, Zhang Youqian secretly said, there is no good banquet tonight. I asked why, Zhang Youqian whispered, it is said that this year's son-in-law will also take the spring exam, this guy has not passed the exam twice, and he must ask us to help with the work.

When I came to the cheap shop, I saw that Lord Tongzhi was already waiting at the door, so we hurriedly saluted, and Lord Xiao laughed, saying that they were all their own brothers, so please hurry inside. When I came to the private room, a table full of bear's paw venison and lamb river fresh.

Tongzhi Dadao, I have long heard Lord Zhuge say that the two brothers were sent by the capital, although they are both officials in the Yamen, but they have been busy with the affairs of Chunfu recently, and they have no chance to invite the two, so don't blame the old brother.

If it weren't for your official duties, we would have visited you a long time ago.

Tongzhi said that he would move around a lot in the future.

After three rounds of wine, I explained the meaning of the matter, saying that the responsibility of the spring is heavy, and our Jianghu Division is newly established, and this year the most important number of the four rows of heaven and earth Xuanhuang will be assigned to us to supervise, which is the trust of the organization in us, requiring us to enforce the law impartially, be honest and self-disciplined, and select talents for the country, and do not make mistakes. The two of us hurriedly expressed our loyalty and said that we would complete the task.

During the chat, Xiao Tongzhi asked us about the cold, asked if we were used to eating in Jiangnan, whether the weather was suitable, whether there were mosquitoes at night and other nonsense, and finally, he hinted intentionally or unintentionally, saying that his son-in-law Xiaohai also participated in this Spring Festival.

In this way, we can't pretend not to know, I said that the young man is talented, and he has the earnest teaching of the same master, this time he must be in high school. Lord Xiao said, borrow your auspicious words, whether you can go to high school this time depends on the two of you.

I laughed, pretending to be confused, and said that the ink in our stomachs was not enough for a meal. However, since Lord Xiao personally explained, we will definitely give special attention to put an end to unhealthy tendencies, ensure that he is not harassed in any way, and ensure that he plays as well as he deserves.

I'm so blocked, and I can't answer. Zhuge couldn't stand it anymore, and said, Su Zhutou and Zhang Zhutou were assigned to the four columns of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang this time, which is exactly what Lord Xiao meant.

I smiled and said that the adults explained like this, we naturally understand, rest assured, we will definitely live up to the trust.

Zhuge baked cake thumbs up, go up, drink, come to drink! When Lord Xiao heard this, the one who smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on his face were like chrysanthemums blooming in autumn.

I am a person who drinks a lot of people, and I am a confidant when I drink wine, such as Xiao Dingyuan in the capital, arrogant, I am not drunk with him for a thousand cups, this kind of business wine, I feel like I am on it after drinking two or three catties. He sent a butler to take us home.

Before parting, I found something in my arms, and when I took it out, I saw that it was 5,000 taels of silver tickets, and Zhang Youqian also had 5,000 taels in his arms. Zhang Youqian snorted coldly, just five thousand taels want to buy us, it's too much to take us seriously.

I said, "You are the son of Zhang Million, why don't we go back?" This kind of blatant bribery is against professional ethics. Zhang Youqian was surprised, I didn't expect you to be so backbone, this friend didn't make friends in vain.

I said that I was afraid that I would not do anything after receiving the money and would be caught by my pigtails.

Zhang Youqian put the silver ticket into his arms, and said that this kind of ill-gotten gains, the people's fat and people's ointment, it is against the principles of heaven to go back, and a few girls have just come to Qinhuaihe recently, let's keep it and do good deeds.

I say it makes sense.

According to the regulations, before the Spring Festival, the relevant staff should be locked up in the palace and carried out closed management to prevent the relevant personnel from bribing the examiner and the invigilator and committing fraud. In the next two days, we spent the next two days in the school palace, and we had made an appointment with Xu Ruonan to meet, but it was also stranded.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, the spring season officially began.

Before the end of the day, we were woken up, and we didn't even eat, and came to the gate of the school palace. The sky is not white, outside the Jiangnan School Palace, it is densely packed with students who came to take the exam, including students from Jinling City, and talents from other provinces.

There are three gates in the school palace, and we also know the invigilators, who are the two major literary leaders of Northern Lu and Nanxie, as well as Jiangnan Xuezheng, Xiao Tongzhi and Chu Xueer, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites sent by the imperial court to preside over the Spring Festival.

Jiangnan Spring Festival has a total of three days, and within three days, all candidates are not allowed to leave, and everything such as eating, drinking, and Lazar is carried out in a square house. At three o'clock, three cannons rang out in the school palace, and the students took a pair of documents, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and also prepared futons, nests, flatbreads, dried meat and other foods, and entered the house after registration, body search, and second inspection in order.

Search before entering, someone will do it. Zhang Youqian yawned and guided the candidates with me at the door. At this moment, there was a commotion behind the crowd.
