On the fifth day of the fifth month of the sixteenth year of Yongzhi, in the room of the Yongxi Thousand Households, Chen Xiaoting sat in the lobby.

At this time, he was holding a document and reading it carefully, which introduced many yamen in Luyang City, as well as the main officials of each yamen.

This document is a secret document, because it contains a detailed analysis of the resumes of your officials and the forces behind them.

Ordinary lieutenants have no right to check it at all, and only the junior flag officer level can understand it, which Chen Xiaoting borrowed from the 100 households in charge.

Of course, there are many documents that record the resumes and backgrounds of officials, and Chen Xiaoting is only one of them.

Although he is understanding this, Chen Xiaoting's heart is not here today, he is waiting for his subordinates.

According to the reports of Liu Jianping and Wang Weidong in the past two days, Chen Xiaoting can basically be sure that these captains under him have no bias towards Shen and Han.

This is actually normal, for the captains at the grassroots level, the battle of the bosses above has no effect on them.

They're just running errands and working hard below, and no one will take the initiative to find them!

But even with the report of Liu Jianping and the others, Chen Xiaoting will not take it lightly.

After all, people always change, not to mention that he knows too little about his subordinates, so he can't trust them at all.

In this case, he can only use these artificial tools and use them to do things for himself.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the days in Guangde, when Zhao Ying and others under him could all be trusted.

Chen Xiaoting came very early today, and the hundred households did not order, so he went to the duty room first to wait.

But he gave an order after yesterday to let his men come to the room early today to make peace, because today is the day to do it.

It's not quite correct to say that it's hands-on, strictly speaking, it means that they have to come to the door to verify, which means that they are going to enter the palace.

Of course, if you can't enter the palace in the end, you have to listen to the latest situation reported by the captains.

Liu Jianping and Wang Weidong were the first to arrive, and they have been "reused" these days, and their mental outlook is very good.

"Morning, sir!" Wang Weidong greeted, still holding a bun wrapped in oiled paper in his hand.

"Have you eaten it?" Liu Jianping took the initiative to ask, this is to be generous to others.

Chen Xiaoting smiled, and then said, "I've already eaten it, what's the situation yesterday?"

The situation asked here refers to the situation of the lieutenants below, and the two of them are in charge of this.

Wang Weidong hurriedly swallowed the bun in his mouth and replied: "My lord, yesterday the big guys were all loyal to their duties and did things according to their respective tracking targets!"

At this time, Chen Xiaoting set his eyes on Liu Jianping, only to see Liu Jianping nodding and saying, "My lord, this is the way things are!"

As long as his subordinates work hard, Chen Xiaoting is much more relieved, at least these tools can still be used.

After a while, the other lieutenants arrived one after another, and all of them arrived in about ten minutes.

"Close the door!" Chen Xiaoting commanded.

After the door of the duty room was closed, Chen Xiaoting asked, "Who are the people who enter and leave the palace?"

In the past few days, I have been observing continuously, and the final result is that it is basically all people who read in and out of the palace.

And more of them are down-and-out scholars, although they have a reputation for being famous, but they have not been admitted to the Jinshi for more than ten years.

At this time, a lieutenant replied: "Back to my lord's words, the lowly post is on duty at the front and back doors of the palace, and I found that these people have been these people these days!"

"Are they all down-and-out readers? How could they enter the palace? Chen Xiaoting said curiously.

It was also the first time he was curious about the errand itself.

"My lord, I have heard that King Anyang likes poetry, and only these scholars can talk to him!" Liu Jianping analyzed.

But Chen Xiaoting still asked: "Since you want to discuss poetry, why are you looking for these down-and-out people, I am afraid that there are many people in Luyang City, why don't you find the best of them to talk about poetry and Taoism?"

But in an instant, Chen Xiaoting figured out the trick, and the current king of Anyang must have dared to invite these down-and-out sons to come to the door in order to avoid secrecy.

It's pitiful to think about, the dignified prince has no freedom, and even his hobbies have to be suppressed.

"Except for these down-and-out acts? Is there really no one else on the door? Chen Xiaoting asked again.

Another lieutenant replied: "In addition to these moves, there is another official who has entered the palace in the past few days!"

"Who?"

The lieutenant couldn't help but reply: "According to the deputy envoy, I heard that this lord likes to play Go, and he is an old chess friend with the prince!"

"Reliable information?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

The lieutenant replied, "Reliable, this matter has been recorded for a long time!"

and the only official are chess friends who have long been recorded, and this King of Anyang seems to have no problem.

But the investigation that should be carried out cannot be stopped, Zhang Yuansheng gave a death order, and he must enter the palace to verify it.

Of course, this is also in line with Chen Xiaoting's idea, only by entering the house to verify can the matter be made bigger, and then the board will fall.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoting turned the conversation around and said, "You say...... Will the palace be full today? ”

When someone even replied: "Returning to your lordship, the palace will not only be full of friends today, but there will also be more people than a few days ago!"

"The subordinates heard the news, it is said that the king of Anyang is going to feast the guests today, and invite all the scholars to appreciate a heavy treasure together......"

"What does it look like...... It's a painting! ”

With the knowledge level of these captains, no matter how good Danqing is, it is just a picture for them.

Of course, the more people there are, the better, so that they can also join in the fun.

So Chen Xiaoting changed his words and said: "Although you have observed carefully enough, you can't understand what these people have done in the palace!"

"According to the meaning of the hundred households, we have to go to the door to verify!"

Dumping the pot to Zhang Yuansheng, Chen Xiaoting has no psychological pressure at all, and if something happens, these subordinates should hate Zhang Yuansheng.

Hearing this, all the captains' faces changed, they didn't expect that they would actually enter the palace.

Although Jinyiwei has the power to investigate, everyone has to leave three points of leeway, and if he enters the palace, he will offend the king of Anyang.

No matter how unsatisfactory the Anyang King is, after all, he is a royal family, which is enough to put pressure on the captains.

"My lord, think twice!" Even Liu Jianping spoke out to dissuade him at this time.

But this matter has long been agreed, Chen Xiaoting stood in unison and said: "You must make it clear that this is the death order of the Lord of the Hundred Households, and no one is allowed to disobey it!"

Chen Xiaoting's words were categorical, which made the captains even more pressured, and Jinyiwei had not touched the Anyang Mansion for a long time, so that it was overwhelming.

After all, it was to do something, so Chen Xiaoting reassured everyone: "You all put your hearts in your stomachs, there must be a reason for doing this, we just need to obey the order!"

"If there is another one, the official will personally lead the team into the palace, and when the sky falls, the official will hold it for you!"

Chen Xiaoting said so much, and the last sentence is convincing, as long as he also enters the palace, everyone will be relieved.

Seeing everyone's soothing nerves, Chen Xiaoting continued: "But there is one thing you should remember, after all, the palace is the land of the tiger's den in Longtan, and every step after entering the palace, you must obey the instructions of the official!"

"And strictly enforce, do you understand?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

Since they can't shirk it, and there is Chen Xiaoting's rhetoric, everyone present can only accept their fate.

"Subordinates obey!" Everyone is right.

Chen Xiaoting's face was solemn, and he continued: "Now put on your swords and armor, and wait for the palace banquet to begin...... Let's go! ”
