"Miss, this is our sparrow roster." Shopkeeper Li handed over the sparrow's roster with both hands, Hongmei had already instructed him when he came, and the young lady wanted to see the sparrow's situation.

Sheng Xuejian took the roster, but he just kept it at hand and didn't open it. "In the past four years, the sparrow has infiltrated the princely generals, but it is not hidden deeply."

"That's what Miss said." Shopkeeper Li bowed his head: "Four years ago, our first sparrow had to withdraw from Shangshu Mansion, and Liu Er also withdrew from the last Huiwang Mansion. ”

"In the end, it is an orphan girl who was found halfway, and there is no regular training, or it can't be a big thing." Sheng Xue sighed, but sparrows are not completely useless.

Now Sheng Xue knows how powerful Rong Jing is, and every flower in Wanhualu is irreplaceable. Even the lotus flower who withdrew from Lin Banxia's side still played her role.

I heard Rong Jing say that Lotus could have been free, but she didn't choose to do so because she wanted revenge.

And these sparrows raised by themselves, except for repaying the favor they rescued at the beginning, have no other motivation, and their ability to do things is much worse than that of Rong Jing.

Rong Jing once told her that behind every flower in this Ten Thousand Flowers Record, there are countless stories of incense and jade. Perhaps on top of a lotus flower, there were once more than a dozen souls of the dead.

Such a long and painful price is not comparable to the sparrows seen by Sheng Xue.

Therefore, she has always been very careful with Rong Jing's Wanhualu, and she will not easily use the power of Wanhualu when it is not necessary.

But now, it's more time than that. Let her sparrows bear the brunt.

Shopkeeper Li saw Sheng Xue holding the sparrow's roster and pondered. He just stood aside and was silent. But in my heart, I wondered if Miss was going to make a big move.

The last time the young lady ordered the grain to be transported to the north, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. It seems that the inside and outside of the apocalypse are not as peaceful as they seem on the surface.

"Last time the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials were involved in the ink corruption case, how was the evidence collected?" Sheng Xue suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Li.

"The case of the official secretary's embezzlement of ink caused thirteen lives, and this matter is not trivial. Prime Minister Lin Cheng planned to let Zuo Shangshu confess and keep Zuo Shangshu. Shopkeeper Li replied to the news that the sparrow detective had heard.

In the past, the news collected by Sparrow would be summarized here in Shopkeeper Li. Sheng Xuejian knows a lot of things, but he won't act on the basis of this intelligence.

Because this information is highly secretive, once there is an action, the sparrow will be exposed. But things are no longer the same.

The secretary of the ministry was corrupt and took bribes. Accepting bribes in this year's imperial examinations and official selections caused the real list to fall to Sun Shan, but I didn't expect that the list that fell off the list was also resourceful. Witnesses were found.

In this way, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, the official department Shangshu killed all the families who fell off the list. I thought that things were done quietly, but who knew that this unlisted eye was famous. Many of the great Confucians of the time were upset about it.

All of a sudden. This murder case is in an uproar, and the emperor loves face the most, so he ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and ordered the King of Jin to supervise, even if Prime Minister Lin wants to find someone to blame, he has to find someone with weight.

"You hand over all the evidence to the Marquis of Zhanyi, the prime minister wants a right Shangshu to take the blame, I just want to let them all fall off!" Sheng Xuejian's voice seemed calm. Shopkeeper Li felt that the momentum in these words was overwhelming.

"The little one knows, but why don't you give the evidence directly to His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" What Shopkeeper Li didn't understand was. King Jin is an inspector, isn't it more convenient to teach King Jin?

"If you really give the evidence to King Jin, this matter will not be done." Sheng Xue raised her eyes when she saw it, and her words were meaningful.

Although the king of Jin is an inspector, the official department is the prime minister's person, and the prime minister is the person of King Hui. If King Jin finds evidence and convicts the officials so actively, what will so many suspicious emperors think?

"King Jin has just gotten the Ministry of Households, if he pulls down the Ministry of Officials with evidence at this time, you say, who is most likely to be promoted to the Ministry of Officials?" Sheng Xue didn't say it directly, but asked Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li thought about it carefully, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Our lord! ”

"Yes, my father has served in the Ministry of Officials for many years, and he has quite a lot of political achievements, and he is a servant in the official residence. But Orchid Garden is so close to King Jin, what do you think the emperor thinks? ”

Sheng Xuejian continued to peel off the cocoon, and let Shopkeeper Li continue to think about it.

"The emperor will think that the king of Jin is to exclude dissidents, so he will not believe these evidence." Shopkeeper Li finally figured it out.

"That's it, the Marquis of Zhanyi and King Hui have an in-law relationship, but there is a gap between the Marquis of Zhanyi's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, because there is a fire in the backyard of King Hui, and the Marquis of Zhanyi will not let go of the Prime Minister, so that King Jin is only an inspector, and this evidence can be useful."

After Sheng Xuejian's explanation, Shopkeeper Li finally understood. "The little one will find a way to send the human and physical evidence to the Warrior Clothes Mansion. However, the case of the Ministry of Rites' embezzlement of ink has not yet been discovered, what should I do? ”

"Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has been quite fond of listening to dramas in Feifeng Tower recently." Sheng Xue saw a faint mention.

"Indeed, and every time I come here, I charter the ninth floor. The little one thought that no one in Shengjing could afford the ninth floor. Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"How much money does a Ministry of Rites have for a year? I've heard that the dowry of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is not so rich, right? ”

"Yes, it is all the income of corruption and bribery in the Ministry of Rites over the years. How is Miss going to get this thing to surface? Shopkeeper Li became more and more impressed by Sheng Xuejian's meticulous observations.

"If you want to fight, you have to fight fast, and it is best for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to have an accident together, so that the emperor will be jealous of the prime minister. A tiger fell asleep, I don't believe the emperor is not nervous. Sheng Xue saw a deep groan.

"I'll leave the affairs of the Ministry of Officials to you. This ritual book, I will personally go to it! Sheng Xue thought about it, so many imperial histories in Taifu's hands must be used.

"The villain understands." Shopkeeper Li saluted Sheng Xue when he saw the rules, and his heart suddenly surged. How long has it been since he's done something big?

After Shopkeeper Li left, Sheng Xuejian instructed Hongmei to go and post to Situ Zisu and Song Liangchen.

In the evening, the three of them listened to the play in the elegant residence on the third floor of the Feifeng Building. It's just that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites ordered a play today. They can't order it, whether they like it or not, they can only listen to it.

Song Liangchen put down his wine glass and frowned slightly: "If it weren't for Miss Liu singing music, I really wouldn't be able to listen to such a gaudy little Fengchun." ”

"Yes, Yukimi, if you look for us. Why don't you just get together at the house, you have to pick it in Feifeng Tower? Situ Zisu was puzzled.

"You've lived in the boudoir for a long time, and you don't know some things, right?"

Sheng Xue saw that this sentence whetted the appetite of the two people.

"What's the matter? You say come and hear it. ”

"Feifeng Building can cover the people on the ninth floor. You can order a play at will, no matter how gaudy it is, the pillars in the building have to be sung. Sheng Xue said lightly.

Even today, she has not revealed anything about the owner of Feifeng Mansion to anyone other than Duanmu Jinghua. Therefore, Situ Zisu and Song Liangchen didn't know much about the rules of Feifeng Tower.

"The ninth floor is worth a lot. When did Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites become so rich? Situ Zisu frowned slightly, "There must be a problem here." ”

"In the past few days, the case of the official department's corruption of ink has been in the dust. I don't think this book of the Ministry of Rites is a good thing! When Song Liangchen talked about these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, his eyes were full of contempt.

"Not really." Sheng Xue saw a faint response, but didn't say much.

The three of them sat in the Feifeng Tower for a while, and then went back separately.

Early the next morning, above the court, the Marquis of Zhan Yi took out conclusive evidence and pointed out that the two Shangshu on the left and right of the Ministry of Officials were corrupt and perverted the law, and the emperor was furious. Prime Minister Lin Cheng's eyes were split, but it was useless.

"Chonglou, you are the superintendent of this case. Strictly investigate to the end, and I can't let anyone go! The emperor trembled with anger on the dragon chair.

This time the matter is too serious, if the innocent list is unjustly killed, how can the world's scholars believe in the imperial examination again? How can a country survive without talent?

The emperor put on this attitude in order to calm the hearts of scholars all over the world.

"Sons obey orders!" Huangfu Chonglou knelt on the ground and replied, raised his eyes lightly and glanced at Prime Minister Lin, only to see his angry face like ashes.

Looking at Huangfu Cassia again, he seemed to be indifferent as if it was none of his business.

It seems that after forming an alliance with Nanzhao, Huangfu decided not to take Prime Minister Lin Cheng's father-in-law in his eyes at all.

After leaving the court, the Marquis of Zhanyi took the initiative to walk to Prime Minister Lin's side: "Prime Minister, can you admit it this time?" ”

Prime Minister Lin was furious, but his face still looked like he was smiling: "Old horseman, who gave you evidence?" Your daughter is still the side concubine of King Hui's mansion, but you are helping King Jin, your brain is burning? ”

"You also said that you are just a side concubine." The Marquis of Zhanyi smiled coldly: "The concubines of my Hou Mansion have not yet married, who said that I am just the father-in-law of King Hui?" ”

"You! It's shameless! Lin Cheng was angry and scolded casually.

The face of the marquis in the battle suit turned cold, and he raised his hand to support the short knife on his waist, when the marquis of the court can bring a knife to the court. His action really startled Prime Minister Lin.

"Don't mess around!" Prime Minister Lin took a few steps back.

The marquis of the battle suit put away the knife as if he was inadvertent: "Prime Minister, our good show is still to come." I am a concubine in the Hou Mansion of the Warrior Clothes, and it is not something that you can bully in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

It's just that these words made the prime minister confused. Of course he didn't know that Concubine Lin Guifei had put musk in Concubine Xu's soothing incense. Liu Er had already revealed this matter to Concubine Xu before leaving the palace. Now the Marquis of Zhan Yi knew that the second prince just wanted to win him over, and he didn't treat him sincerely.

This is why the Marquis of Zhan Yi got the evidence and would not hesitate to take it out to bring down Prime Minister Lin.

The court is treacherous, and the harem is not as peaceful as it seems.

During these days, Lin Guifei was low-key and very pleasing to the emperor, but the emperor but Lin Guifei's times became more frequent.

Concubine Lin Guifei would always call Huangfu Cassia to the palace, and the family looked happy.

This time, because of the matter of the Ministry of Shangshu, when the brand was flipped up, the emperor angrily threw the sign of Concubine Lin Guifei and turned over the brand of Concubine De.

When the holy car came, Concubine De was staring at the five princes writing. The emperor came in suddenly, and a group of people were caught off guard.

"The concubine didn't know that the emperor had arrived, and asked the emperor to atone for his sins!" Concubine De knelt on the ground very obediently, and I felt pity for that look.

The emperor hurriedly helped Concubine De up, and the anger in his heart was also dispelled a lot by her gentleness. As soon as he turned his head and saw the pen and paper on the table, he looked towards the five princes, and his eyes showed pity.

"We're practicing calligraphy?"

"Back to my father, the master taught Mencius today, and the sons should copy these chapters first." Huangfu smiled honestly. The third princess on the side was not happy.

"When my father saw his younger brother, he forgot about his son." The third princess puffed out her mouth and was coquettish.

The emperor smiled and stretched out his hand to the third princess to coax his daughter: "How could my father forget our third princess and come and sit." ”

"Father, if you really feel sorry for your son, why don't you agree to your son's request?" The third princess, Huangfu Huijing, looked at the emperor with blinking eyes.

"You damn girl, what's your bad idea?" Concubine De frowned slightly, but she was afraid that the third princess would not make the emperor unhappy.

"My daughter wants to ask for a favor to let my daughter go out of the palace to play." The third princess said with great interest: "The princess heard from the imperial sister-in-law that there is a mysterious Feifeng Tower in Shengjing, which is very good-looking!" ”

"Oh? What's a good idea? "The emperor has also heard about this Feifeng Tower, but he doesn't care too much. Speaking of his daughter today, it also aroused his curiosity.

It turned out that Situ Zisu entered the palace today and told the third princess everything she saw in Feifeng Tower last night, and encouraged her to go out of the palace to see Feifeng Tower.

The third princess simply thought that the imperial sister-in-law was going to take her to play, so she came to ask the emperor for advice.

"This Feifeng Tower is said to be extremely gorgeous, with a total of nine floors...... "The third princess repeated Situ Zisu's words.

When the third princess said that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had taken over the ninth floor of Feifeng Tower, the emperor's face had already turned cold. Seeing this, Concubine De hurriedly gestured to the third princess.

The third princess was stunned for a moment, looked at the emperor with some fear and asked, "Did the retainer say the wrong thing?" ”

The emperor came back to his senses, looked at his simple daughter and said, "You are not wrong. I promised to let you out of the palace, and I will leave the palace with you! He wanted to see how heroic this lady of the Ministry of Rites could be.

"Really? When? The third princess stood up happily.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, it's better tonight!" As soon as the emperor's golden mouth opened, the third princess almost jumped up with joy.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not very good?" Concubine De couldn't help but open her mouth to persuade her, and the emperor waved her hand: "It's rare for the child to be happy." ”

Situ Zisu originally just wanted to use the mouth of the third princess to attract the emperor's attention, but he didn't expect things to develop more favorably.

After Song Liangchen returned home last night, he told Taifu everything he saw.

However, Taifu just nodded, and did not make any moves or plans. (To be continued......)
