"Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts!"

In the study room of the inner courtyard, after listening to Hongqing's statement quietly, Old Master Chen, who had his eyes slightly closed, did not rush to say anything, but let out a sigh of emotion.

"This ......"

Tuo Heqi made such a fuss posture, Hongqing didn't think that Tuo Heqi would be untargeted, but for a while he couldn't see through the intentions of his move, so he hurried back to the palace to ask the old master Chen for advice, at this time, when he heard the old master sigh like this, his heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he faintly seemed to think of something strange, but he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't grasp the specifics, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle a little more because of this.

"Since ancient times, it is all about silver, and now you can get silver to govern the river, and a huge plate of fat meat is brought out, and the people who are tempted by the court do not know how many, the reason why they dare not act rashly is just because they scruple about each other, if there is a consensus, the knife is raised, and it must be ruthless."

Old Master Chen waited for a while, and when he saw that Hongqing's brows were unfolding, he knew that Hongqing had not seen through the strange situation, so he stopped selling Guanzi, tapped his fingers on the coffee table, smiled sarcastically, and broke the reason.

"These silverfish, they are really guts!"

Hongqing is already shrewd, Old Master Chen has already said it so clearly, how can he not understand, his mind is in a flash, he has completely understood the origin of the matter, left and right is just the prince and the eighth master and others are coveting the hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land added to Henan, this is a trap to get meat from the pot to eat, and Prince Yu's second son Bao Shou is also a part of this conspiracy, this is why there will be a conflict with Mu Ning and others yesterday, as for the case to be transferred to the criminal department now, It is clear that it is caused by the tacit understanding between the prince and the eighth master!

"How is the little prince going to deal with it?"

Old Master Chen didn't pay attention to Hongqing's anger, but asked with the meaning of the school examination.

How to deal with it? This question is really not so easy to answer, don't look at the cause of this matter, it's just a fight in the restaurant, but the opponent has set up such a trap, if you want to free Mu Ning and others from the trap, it is not an easy thing, the criminal department has a reason to drag it out, even if Hongqing goes to ask for someone in person, the criminal department only needs to say "the case is still under investigation", it is enough to block Hongqing's words, it is obviously not feasible to go to catch people, sit back and ignore it, but it will not work either, Unless Hongqing doesn't want Rongzhu as an ally, he really can't stand by and let Mu Ning be locked up in prison.

"Please guide me through the maze."

Although Hongqing is not lacking in urgency, his mind is in a flash, and the method is already thinking about the young and old, but when it comes to grasping, he doesn't dare to assert that it is feasible, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this matter is extremely tricky, and in desperation, he has to bow down and seek advice.

"If you want to break the game, you have to muddy the waters."

Old Master Chen did not give a specific strategy, but only pointed out a direction concisely.

"Muddy the waters? This ......"

Hearing what Old Master Chen said, Hongqing was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought, after a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he already had a plan, so he groaned and said: "Master Mingjian, the student has a strategy: ......, I don't know if it is feasible, please ask the master to correct it." ”

"Well, if you can't calm things down, then it's okay to make trouble in the big deal, and there will be room for bargaining at the worst."

Old Master Chen closed his eyes slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes, students know what to do."

Although Hongqing has made a decision, but he does not dare to say that he is absolutely sure, at this time he heard the old master's approval, and the determination in his heart was a little firmer, and he didn't talk any more nonsense, and after responding respectfully, he got up, and after making a big salute, he withdrew from the study, changed into civilian clothes, and led Li Minxing and others, who had also changed into civilian clothes, and went straight to Xiaoskewer Hutong......

"Subordinates, see the little prince!"

In the courtyard of Xiaoskeong Hutong, Cao Yanshan and others, who had already learned that Hongqing was coming, hurriedly saluted when they saw Hongqing entering the courtyard gate.

"Excuse me, Ming Tao (Cao Yanshan's words), is there any news from the Criminal Department?"

The situation is serious, Hongqing can't help but be a little irritable in his heart, but fortunately, the city is deep, but it won't be brought to his face, but in the face of everyone's salute, Hongqing didn't talk much nonsense, and ran to the topic straightforwardly.

"Back to the words of the little prince, the subordinates have instructed the criminal department to investigate in many ways, but they don't get much, only that Mu Ning and the others are locked up in the T-shaped cell, and the subordinates have ordered the disciples in the cell to take care of them, so they should not let Mu Ning Gongzi suffer very grievances."

Although Cao Yanshan's ability to do things is strong, but now the foundation of the "Sharp Knife Gang" is still weak, and it is difficult to find out the secrets of the too high-level.

"Well, it's inconvenient for Ben Baylor to come forward, you go back and ask the brothers in prison to send some wine, food, and bedding to Mu Ning and the others, and tell them by the way, just say that Ben Baylor knows the truth and is making preparations in many ways, so that he can rest easy, and everything has Ben Baylor in charge of everything."

Regarding Cao Yanshan's difficulties, Hongqing understood himself, but he didn't ask too much, so he nodded, and ordered indifferently.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Things were not done very beautifully, Cao Yanshan couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, lest Hongqing be responsible, but seeing that Hongqing didn't have this intention at this time, Cao Yanshan's heart calmed down, and hurriedly responded, and called a disciple of the gang who was waiting on the side to him, and instructed him to go to handle all kinds of matters.

"Is there a disciple in the gang who is a clerk in the Criminal Department now?"

Hongqing didn't interfere with Cao Yanshan's specific arrangements, and it wasn't until he was done with his work that he asked casually.

"Back to the words of the little prince, although the subordinates have developed some manpower in the criminal department since last year, they are all at the bottom, and the people with good quality do not dare to touch it blindly, only a post is currently under investigation, and it is difficult to determine its loyalty."

After nearly a year of development, the strength of the "Sharp Knife Gang" has indeed made great progress with the support of a large amount of silver, and now nearly half of the territory in Xicheng is under the control of the "Sharp Knife Gang", but after all, the time to rise is still short, and it is not yet possible to extend its tentacles to all aspects of the Beijing Division.

"Oh? Which division is it, and what is the surname? ”

Hongqing himself is in charge of the ministry, and naturally knows what kind of goods the pen post style is, don't look at the humble official position of the pen post type, but they are all the last petty officials of the nine grades, but they are all slippery people, and they are very clear about the ministry affairs in the ministry, and it is difficult to hide such a person from the ministry in any dark business, etc., at this time, when I heard that the "Sharp Knife Gang" had such an object of investigation, my spirit immediately lifted, but I didn't bring it to my face, but asked quietly.

"So that the little prince knows that this person is a member of the Han Army Banner, surnamed He, a single word Chong, is the autumn trial office pen post style, has been in office for four years, because of the autumn trial Lang Zhong Lu Kunpeng has never been harmonious, has not been able to be reused, for the sake of righteousness, good to fight grievances, last year because of trivial matters and the brothers in the gang had a dispute, and then people said that they did not fight, even if they did not fight, their subordinates were also quite familiar with it, if the little prince wanted to use people, maybe it could come in handy."

Seeing that Hongqing was interested in that pen post style, Chen Size didn't dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly recounted the experience of contact with this person.

"Autumn Trial? Well, Erke went and invited this Ho Bi Ti Shi, and Ben Belle was waiting here. ”

As soon as he heard that the pen post was in the Autumn Review Department, Hongqing's heart couldn't help but roll through a burst of joy, and he didn't say any more, and gave the order straightforwardly.

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing confessed like this, Chen Size didn't dare to ask the root cause, so he hurriedly agreed to the promise, and hurriedly retreated, and went to the yamen of the Criminal Department to ask someone not to mention it.

"I said Brother Wang, what are you playing so mysteriously, what else is there to say about our brothers, you ......"

After more than half an hour, a slightly dissatisfied burial sound sounded outside the study, and a sturdy man and Chen Ize turned out from behind the screen side by side, but at first glance, when they saw Hongqing sitting on the top, the man was talking halfway and suddenly fell silent, looking at Hongqing dumbfounded, and he was stupid on the spot.

"Brother He, this is my little prince."

Seeing that He Chong was stunned and didn't move, Chen Size laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to be rude in front of Hongqing, and hurriedly reminded He Chong from the side.

"He Chong, the pen post of the Autumn Trial Department of the Criminal Department, knocked to see the little prince!"

He Chong came in response to Chen Size this time, but he didn't know in advance that Hongqing was the master behind the "Sharp Knife Gang", let alone that Hongqing was waiting to see him, and suddenly saw Hongqing who was majestic in the court, and was really shocked, until he got Chen Size's mention, he grabbed the front like waking up from a big dream, and respectfully bowed and worshipped.

"Excuse me, just settle down."

Hongqing has been famous in the DPRK in recent years, and often walks in the Ministry of Industry, and almost none of the officials in the ministries do not know Hongqing, because of this, Hongqing does not feel very strange about He Chong recognizing himself, and he does not blame him for his rudeness, but he does not deliberately show the posture of Corporal Lixian, just raised his hand kindly, and called out in a gentle tone.

"Thank you, little prince, Longen."

He Chong has served in the Criminal Department for many years, although his official position is humble, it can be seen that he has heard a wide range of rumors, since he has heard all kinds of rumors about Hongqing, and has seen Hongqing's majesty several times, how dare he be presumptuous in front of Hongqing, and after thanking him in a proper manner, he immediately bowed down and stood up, putting on a posture of obeying orders.

"There is no need to be so restrained, Ben Belle invited you here today, there is something I want to discuss with you, I don't know if Lord He is willing to help?"

Hongqing didn't bother to say those meaningless greetings, but went straight to the point.

"Ah, this ......"

He Chongzheng was guessing Hongqing's intentions, and when he heard Hongqing say the theme so directly, he couldn't figure out the real intention behind Hongqing's words for a while, and he couldn't help but be stunned, so he suddenly raised his head and looked at Hongqing with a surprised face.
