Chen Jiu looked at Lao Liu and Boss Chen in the living room and said to me, "Lord Lan, I came to you for a private matter, can you talk about it alone." "I hurriedly let a few of them out, and I don't know what Chen Jiu has to talk to me about.

Chen Jiu saw that several of them were about to go out, and said: "Lord Lan, I dare to come to you if the emperor doesn't speak, you don't see that I am in civilian clothes, and the emperor has a secret decree for you, so I secretly came out to pass the decree, and said to the people guarding the palace gate that I came out to see my nephew." ”

I was also stunned, what kind of thing is this emperor doing, and there is a secret decree for me, what can't be done openly, he is the emperor, and he has the power of life and death in the whole country.

"Lord Lan, don't be stunned, take the order."

I glanced at Chen Jiu embarrassedly and said, "Manager Chen, I haven't set up the incense case yet, wait for me to let them come in and set up the incense case before receiving the order." ”

Chen Jiuyi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Lord Lan, this is a secret decree, there will be no secret to let them in, you better take it like this, no one else can see it anyway, even if the emperor knows it, he will not blame." ”

Since Chen Jiu said this, I'm not polite, I will take the Baixiang case, I will send this myself, and now Chen Jiu took the initiative to say that if you don't want to, then push the boat with the water, I just knelt down, this is the most basic etiquette, so it can't be avoided.

I saw Chen Jiu take out a roll of Huang Lingzi from his sleeve, open it and read: "Lan Yunjie secretly investigated the poisoning incident in the palace, all the merits and other cases are a reward, and you can negotiate with Chen Jiu if you have something." Chen Jiunian stopped here.

I continued to wait for Chen Jiu to read it, only to hear Chen Jiu say: "Lord Lan, get up, after reading, are you still kneeling?" ”

It's not a taste in my heart, this emperor, I think the edict will reward me with something, this is good, the task is coming, and the rewards must be counted together, which is more shrewd than a businessman who does business.

I stood up and asked Chen Jiu: "Manager Chen, is this the end?" Why is the emperor's will so short this time? ”

"It's over, Lord Lan, there are some things that can't be written, I came here to discuss with you, you also know that the emperor was poisoned this time, they must be vigilant in the palace, who did it, I can't investigate, if you go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, maybe it's their people inside, so the emperor wants you to secretly investigate, and when we have eyebrows, we will do it again."

"Manager Chen, I'm afraid this is not suitable, it's not good for me to mess around in the palace, I think it's better for you to check, after all, you are the manager, I'm just a foreign official."

Chen Jiu took out a brand-like thing from his pocket again, but it was wrapped in red silk on the outside, and he couldn't see what it was. Chen Jiu opened the thing wrapped in red silk and said, "Lord Lan, the emperor has thought of it for you, this is a bronze medal, you can enter and leave the palace at any time, and you can also go anywhere in the palace." ”

I am also very strange, there is such a token, I reached out and took the token handed by Chen Jiu, but I saw that it was a piece of brass casting, and it was heavy to start, and there was only a big order on the token, and the surrounding area was engraved with a soaring dragon.

I asked Chen Jiu curiously: "Manager Chen, can this thing enter and leave the palace at will, why didn't I see anything unusual." ”

"Lord Lan, don't underestimate this token, this is for the emperor's use, with this token, you can search any palace except the Qianqing Palace, Lord Lan The emperor is very relieved of you, this is the first time I have seen this token transferred to a non-royal official."

This matter has passed like this, and I can't figure out what the emperor is doing, does this emperor do it, does he know that the palace is the base camp of the Yin Demon Sect, and it seems that it is not bad to take this opportunity to get rid of the people of the Yin Demon Sect in the palace.

I didn't wait for the reward in my mind, I was a little disappointed, but I was able to receive a secret decree, which means that the emperor still values me very much, and now I have to give him an explanation as soon as possible, and understand the poisoning incident, so I can hurry out of the palace and find a place to develop my own power.

Now it's all things, for me who is used to being clean, it's really a challenge, I have to worry about big and small things, the land deed on the side of Leiyun Village is already there, and I have to go to Shuntianfu to go through the procedures for succession, and I don't know if they have developed there, this is the master and my little nephew, and the Lei Yunwei, I don't know if it has started. and Wei Zihan's side, now that he is engaged, when is the wedding date, this still has to be discussed.

It was just dark, we hadn't finished eating, we heard a knock on the door outside, Liu Lianjiang ran out to open the door, I am not remote here now, many people know my house, I don't know who came this time.

Liu Lianjiang came in with my nephew, and when my nephew saw me, he gave me a salute first and said, "Uncle, there is a new message, do you know it." ”

"Just tell me, I'll know what I've slept at home for a day."

"Uncle Shi, just now Shuntianfu released a notice that Uncle Zhang Guo will be executed tomorrow for the crime of treason, Uncle Shi, you say that this is not a good thing."

"Good thing, good thing, this is the news I want to hear the most, and in the future, this kind of information will tell me sooner and how you are doing over there."

Because there was only Lao Liu himself in the house, I didn't deliberately hide, and I would have to rely on Lao Liu and Liu Lianjiang to contact them in the future, so it would be good for them to get familiar with it as soon as possible, I asked the little nephew: "How have you been busy these days, have you arranged it, is there enough silver?" ”

"Uncle Shi is already working on it, and my task is to go out and see if I can find some useful clues. Other things are all done by Uncle Shi, and the house has been found in the past few days, and I don't need any silver, if Uncle Shi is not enough, he will come to you to ask for it. Uncle Shi is fine, I'm going back, Uncle Shi can't see me at night, and he has to discipline me again. ”

sent off the little nephew, and it was time to eat, or everyone ate together, and I didn't make any special words, so that it would be like a family, and I wanted to make them feel at home.

When she came to the palace the next day, Princess Shouyang pouted unhappily and said, "Master Lan, I waited for you for a day yesterday, but you didn't come, and no one played with me if you didn't come, didn't you ask for leave, I'm going to my father to sue you." ”

"Princess, I had something to do yesterday, so I asked for leave, I don't believe you ask the emperor, and the emperor also knows."

The little princess leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Master Lan, I heard that my father was poisoned and was in a coma all night, do you know?" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Princess, I don't know about this, how did you know, you can't talk nonsense, be careful to spread it outside, it will affect the court."
