Li Zhaolin shook his head suspiciously.

Shen Shuming said word by word: "Because your authority is not high enough." ”

Li Zhaolin looked surprised, "I am specifically responsible for intelligence work, and the most contact is intelligence every day." In terms of intelligence, the authority is higher than that of some department heads. Even some of the information I have may not even be known to the two vice presidents. If my authority is not high enough, is it only the authority of the Vice-Dean?"

Shen Shuming shook his head and said, "The vice president has no right to know. ”

Li Zhaolin gasped, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Shuming in disbelief and said, "Could it be that Brother Shen is the legendary ......?"

Shen Shuming nodded proudly, "That's right, it's the hidden dragon that only the dean has the right to mobilize in the legend." ”

Li Zhaolin was even more surprised, "Could it be that all this is the dean's ......?"

Shen Shuming shook his head lightly and said, "Of course not." Qianlong is very huge, to put it mildly, the inspection institute has the strength on the surface, not even half of the real strength, this has to be counted, you have to train yourself, those who are not registered. Together, these are not as good as a hidden dragon. ”

"With such a large organization, the management work must be very complicated, how can the dean be able to take care of everything in detail? Of course, there will be a person in charge who will take charge for the dean. ”

Li Zhaolin suddenly said, "You are here on behalf of the person in charge?"

Shen Shuming nodded.

"What's that plan, sir?"

Shen Shuming knew Li Zhaolin's thoughts very well. He wanted to see Zhou Ziheng's thoughts before expressing his position, so as not to stand on the wrong team.

So Shen Shuming said, "The chief wants to do it himself." ”

Li Zhaolin jumped up and looked at Shen Shuming in disbelief.

Shen Shuming smiled and said, "What? Do you think it's impossible?"

Li Zhaolin's brain was spinning, and after a while, he calmed down, sat down slowly, and said, "I'm just a little person who works according to orders." That's not what I should be thinking about. ”

Shen Shuming stared at Li Zhaolin's eyes and asked, "I'm a straight-hearted person who likes to go straight." Let me ask you, if you were to follow this chief, would you be willing?"

To Shen Shuming's surprise, Li Zhaolin nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

He saw that Shen Shuming was a little surprised, and explained: "After the fact that I was injured, I have a cold heart for Dai Xuquan. ”

"As for Yin Haichuan, even if I go to him, he won't trust me. I don't know what a heavy price it would take to gain his trust. In that case, it is better to follow this chief. With you, you also have a look for me. ”

---------------------Partition-------------------

When Shen Shuming came back, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Zhou Ziheng was still sitting at the table, holding his hands and closing his eyes to recuperate.

For him, it was an extremely important decision to go down in person to compete for the position of dean. From the moment he made the decision, his spirit was in a state of high tension.

What's more, there are so many things to consider for such an important event. He needs to fully consider all the required factors, and constantly deduce repeatedly to find a way to go. If you are not careful, you will be crushed!

Hearing Shen Shuming's movements, Zhou Ziheng opened his eyes and asked softly, "Can it be smooth?"

Shen Shuming nodded, sat opposite Zhou Ziheng, picked up the fragrant tea with the right temperature, and drank it all.

Zhou Ziheng refilled the tea for him, Shen Shuming wiped his mouth, and said: "The evidence that Yin Haichuan used to engage Lin Shaotang is two traitors. The time when the two traitors were escorted over coincided with the time when Xiao Tian was taken away by the brutes. ”

"Li Zhaolin agrees to work for you, tomorrow...... No, it should be with today, and he went back to work. Feel free to contact him if you need to. ”

Zhou Zi nodded and said, "Xiao Tian admits that he is Ye Annie's adopted son." ”

Shen Shuming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't that the most powerful evidence that Xiaotian is Lin Shaotang's treason and collaboration with the enemy?"

Zhou Ziheng nodded slowly.

Shen Shuming said resolutely: "You can't let Xiaotian get involved." ”

Zhou Ziheng said: "He doesn't agree. He said just now that only we and the people around Lin Shaotang know his identity now. Let's not say it, the people around Lin Shaotang don't know that he is still alive. His identity doesn't have to worry about being exposed. ”

Shen Shuming shook his head and said, "No." I don't have a shortage of manpower, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him. There's no need to put him at risk. ”

Zhou Ziheng suddenly said: "Did Li Zhaolin tell you who ordered Lin Shaotang to send the two traitors and Xiaotian to the Inspection Yuan?"

"Director Qian of the Intelligence Division. ”

Zhou Ziheng was a little surprised, "Qian Yuntang?"

Shen Shuming nodded.

Qian Yuntang is an old man in the inspection institute, and he is older than Yin Haichuan and Dai Xuquan. It was only because of the Force level limit that the opportunity for further promotion was lost.

Since the Force level, it is directly related to lifespan, and the higher the Force level, the longer the lifespan and the longer the number of years it can work.

The mission of the inspection institute is confidential and abnormal. For some key positions, it is necessary to conduct a long-term inspection of the candidate to ensure that he is loyal and reliable enough to take up the post. This long period of time is often measured in decades.

Ordinary people are young in the first 20 years and old in the last 10 years, and the time they can use to work is only thirty or forty years. And at the beginning, you have to start from the grassroots level, and if you perform well, you can be promoted step by step. Even if he is capable, loyal and reliable, when he becomes the director of the division and the director, he is still in his sixties and seventies, and he will have to retire after a few years.

Moreover, many department chiefs and division chiefs need to go out to fight with lurkers and traitors. If you don't reach a certain level of the Force, you can't do it at all.

Besides, the higher the level of the Force, the higher the success rate of the mission, the faster the accumulation of meritorious deeds, the more attention from the leaders, and the easier it is to be cultivated.

Therefore, only cultivators with a high enough Force level can have the opportunity to take up key positions through a long investigation. If the Force level does not meet the requirements, you will not be able to advance if you have the ability.

Lee Siu-lun is a case in point. At the age of his early thirties, he served as the director of the department, which was very rare in the inspection institute. The reason for this is his extraordinary talent.

His boss Dai Xuquan once said that with his natural qualifications, if he put aside mundane affairs and devoted himself to cultivation, he should have been promoted to the sixth level of the Force five years ago.

Of course, this does not mean that as long as the Force level is high, it will definitely be promoted. What the Inspectorate needs is not a brainless man.

Proficiency in the use of various professional instruments and equipment, dealing with all kinds of people, dealing with all kinds of trivial affairs, and finding the most critical threads from the chaotic clues all require extremely high knowledge and wisdom.

Those ordinary cultivators are often unable to do this. Therefore, some cultivators, even if they have a high level of the Force, are unable to take up important management positions.

And sometimes, in order to find someone who can do the job and have the business quality of the job, you have to lower the Force level conditions.

Qian Yuntang is a specially selected person with strong knowledge, wisdom, and ability, but the level of the Force is poor.

His Force level is only the fifth level of beginner, which is not as good as his subordinate Li Zhaolin. However, he has been a member of the inspection institute for more than 70 years, and he has worked in the post of director for almost 30 years. It can be said that he has dedicated his whole life to the inspection court.

Zhou Ziheng is very familiar with Qian Yuntang, knows that he is highly respected, loyal to Dean Li, and never participates in the battle between Dai Xuquan and Yin Haichuan, plus he is also old, and he has no ambitions. So Zhou Ziheng was a little surprised at first.

However, in their line of work, not only have they seen all kinds of strange things, but the most important thing is to be suspicious, Zhou Ziheng was just surprised, and ordered: "Let Li Zhaolin find an opportunity to ask why he gave this order in the first place." ”

Shen Shuming was puzzled and said, "Do you suspect that Lao Qian is behind the ghost?"

Zhou Ziheng shook his head, "You said to set up the two vice presidents? No, Lao Qian doesn't have the guts, and he doesn't have such a strong strength to set up such a big game." Unless the dean is behind him. ”

"Then why are you still checking him?"

Zhou Ziheng turned his head, glanced in the direction of Wang Xiaotian's room, and said, "I have a hunch that Lao Qian's original order was to go to Xiaotian. ”

Shen Shuming's second monk was puzzled, "Xiao Tian, old money, what connection can there be between them?"

Zhou Ziheng said softly: "Reincarnated spirit child." ”

Shen Shuming was shocked, as if he understood something, but he hadn't fully figured it out yet.

Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to explain: "I suspect that Xiaotian is the reincarnated spirit child. Someone already knew this, so through the old money, he asked Lin Shaotang to send Xiaotian and the two traitors over. ”

"You think, Xiaotian is just a child, and he is not involved in treason, so he has to be sent over, that is, to record a confession as a witness, and when the case is closed, you have to let him go. At that point, who cares, where did he go?"

Shen Shuming suddenly realized, "Yes." If that's the case, those people can, without knowing it, get Xiaotian away. ”

Zhou Ziheng said with some concern: "If the matter is really what we guessed, it means that the inspection institute has been infiltrated." Now, what we have to figure out is, who is the other party? How deep has it penetrated?"

Shen Shuming understood, and said, "So, you want Xiaotian to get involved?"

Zhou Ziheng nodded.

"But, this is very dangerous!" Shen Shuming said unhappily: "He is still a child, why should he be involved in these bullshit things?"

Zhou Ziheng was patient and said slowly: "Back then, we faced a life-and-death situation for the first time, and we were younger than his current age, and the Force level was not as high as his. The dangers encountered later are even more numerous, and now they are also here?"

"Moreover, Xiaotian has not experienced danger. In the forest, he spent more than a year alone. Isn't it good now? No matter how good the treasure knife is, it also needs to be sharpened, otherwise it is no different from scrap metal? Why can't you have a little confidence in Xiaotian?"

Shen Shuming argued: "This has nothing to do with whether you have confidence or not. One reason is that Xijing City is far more dangerous than the forest! It is very dangerous for Xiaotian to get involved. The second reason is that he is the adopted son of Ye Annie, and if his identity is revealed, it will become an important evidence of Lin Shaotang's treason. How can I save Lin Shaotang when the time comes?"

Zhou Ziheng asked rhetorically: "Who said that you want to save Lin Shaotang?"

Shen Shuming was stunned and looked at Zhou Ziheng dumbfounded.

Zhou Ziheng said calmly: "From beginning to end, saving Lin Shaotang is Xiaotian's purpose, not mine." For me, let Yin Haichuan finish Lin Shaotang's case. Then I will come up with sufficient evidence to prove that this is an unjust case, so as to force Yin Haichuan to step down. That's the best thing to do. ”

"If you act now and save Lin Shaotang, you can only hit Yin Haichuan's arrogance, but you can't completely defeat him. Moreover, it will expose us, so that we have to come to the fore and fight hard with Yin Haichuan and Dai Xuquan. Which option do you think is better?"

Shen Shuming said in disbelief: "You won't really be so cold-blooded, right?"

Zhou Ziheng smiled and continued: "Saving Lin Shaotang was requested by Wang Xiaotian. I agreed. ”

Shen Shuming's face improved a little.

Zhou Ziheng continued: "However, this makes it much more difficult. I told Xiaotian the whole plan. Xiaotian is willing to contribute. ”

Shen Shuming said: "You can catch the apprentice and make a pit." ”

Zhou Ziheng defended: "How can it be called a pit? For him, isn't this a good opportunity to exercise?"

Shen Shuming waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay." Anyway, that's your apprentice, not mine. I don't bother to care. With that, he turned around and left.

Zhou Ziheng looked at Shen Shuming's back and whispered to himself, "Kindness is a virtue, but it is also a weakness. Tree Song, Tree Song, when will you be able to take charge on your own?"

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaotian got up, went to Guangde Building according to Zhou Ziheng's prior instructions, found a fat cook in his forties, surnamed Zheng, and told him the secret words taught by Zhou Ziheng, and then got a greasy overalls and worked as a handyman in the back kitchen of Guangde Building.

Slaughtering, washing, blowing, watering, spreading, roasting, slicing meat. Wang Xiaotian has done all the links.

After seven days of miscellaneous labor, until Wang Xiaotian was covered in roast duck, and he knew all aspects of roast duck well, the fat cook surnamed Zheng handed him a food box and asked him to send it to the cell of the inspection institute and hand it over to the foreman Li Zhongxin.
