"Lord Yu, Hongqing, the prince of Chengjun, is asking to see you outside the yamen!"

It was already past noon, and in the back hall of the Yamen of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Tuoheqi, who had just had lunch, was leisurely drinking tea, but saw a Goshha hurriedly coming in from outside, a neat and neat thousand, and said in a loud voice.

"Nope!"

Hearing that Hongqing came to see him again, Tuo Heqi's brows wrinkled unconsciously, but he didn't delay, and spit out two words without hesitation.

"Adult ......"

This is the fourth time that Hongqing has asked to see him in the past three days, and every time he comes back, this Goshhake who came to report has not been less of Hongqing's benefits, and he can't help but feel quite reluctant to go, so he has the courage to try to admonish him.

"Huh?"

Tuoheqi has always been an arrogant master, rarely tolerant of people, since he thinks that the saint is extremely long, and there is a prince in the back, not to mention Hongqing, even if the third master comes in person, he will not take it to heart, this time seeing that Goshha actually has the momentum of disobedience, his eyebrows and eyes immediately erected, and he snorted from his nose coldly.

"Wow!"

As soon as he saw that Tuohe's voice was wrong, the Gosh Harden turned pale with fright, and how dare he dare to talk any more nonsense, so he hurriedly answered the promise, retreated in fear, and hurried all the way to the yamen.

Gotcha, it's no drama again!

As soon as he saw the face of Goshha who went to report the news, there was no need to ask, Hongqing knew that the matter of asking to see was afraid that it would fall into the void again, although the smile on his face was still the same, but the cold light in his eyes was a little thicker because of this, but he did not say anything from the side, and stood calmly on the spot.

"Little Lord Haihan, my family is busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you, why don't you come back another day?"

Sure enough, as Hongqing expected, after Goshha who hurried out of the yamen bowed to Hongqing, he said the words that had been repeated four times in the past three days.

"I'm tired."

After eating four closed doors in a row, even if it is a clay man, he will be annoyed, not to mention that Hongqing is not a good person in the first place, at this time, the fire in his heart has already been raging, but no matter how annoyed, he can't lose his dignity, so he just smiled and returned the salute, politely thanked him, then turned around and walked towards the carriage parked aside, without waiting for Liu San'er to ask for instructions, he had already ordered in a cold voice: "Go to Xiaokeanzi Hutong!" ”

"Wow!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Liu San'er dared to ask questions and answered, and hurriedly responded, and went to command and dispatch the palace guards without mentioning it.

The "Sharp Knife Gang" has only been open for nearly four months, but the momentum of expansion is very fierce, and it has successively defeated several small gangs around it, and it has gathered a lot of peripheral organizations, and the forces have begun to infiltrate the core of the west of the city. But there are a lot of big men coming and going in the alley, and when they see this, Hongqing's originally depressed mood has been reduced by nearly half.

"Subordinates Chen Size and Cao Yanshan knocked to see the little prince!"

Hearing that Hongqing had arrived, the two giants of the "Sharp Knife Gang" hurriedly dropped the work in their hands, and walked out of the gate together, each bowing down and paying respects.

"Excuse me, just talk inside."

Hongqing had something in mind at this time, and he didn't want to say more greetings at this gate, so he just nodded, called indifferently, and walked slowly to the door.

"How's everything going?"

After all the idlers and others had retreated, Hongqing picked up the tea bowl, took a small sip of it, and asked indifferently.

"Back to the words of the little prince, since the order was received, the subordinates have sent people to track down the whereabouts of that person, and there is a letter early this morning, and Wan Heshun's family of seven is hiding in a house on Orange Street near Chongwenmen."

Although Hongqing's words did not specify what happened, Chen and Cao understood it as soon as they heard it, and after glancing at each other, Cao Yanshan came forward to report a word.

"Well, have you ever noticed anything out of the ordinary?"

Hongqing was not surprised by Cao Yanshan's answer, because Chongwenmen was the location of the Yamen of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and since Wan Heshun was connected with the prince, it was naturally the safest to be protected by the people and horses of Tuoheqi.

"Qi Yu little prince, his subordinates have personally investigated, only four suspicious people are hiding in a private house near the left, suspected of secretly protecting Wan Heshun's family, and in addition, there is a sentry in the Yamen of the Nine Gates who often patrols nearby, and in addition, there is no ambush on the side."

Cao Yanshan is a perennial person who walks the rivers and lakes, and he is very cautious and cautious in doing things, and he has already surveyed the situation near Wan Heshun's hiding place, and he is very confident when he answers Hongqing's question at this time.

"Ming Tao (Cao Yanshan's words), how sure are you that the whole family of this thief has been captured? Hmm, it's best not to alarm the Yamen of the Nine Gates, if it really doesn't work, then take it by force, tomorrow at this time, Ben Beizi plans to have a banquet here to entertain this Wanda account room, can Ming Tao do it? ”

It has been four days since the firm was sealed, and if it is delayed, the consequences are quite unbearable, Hongqing doesn't want the good situation that he has created with great difficulty to be ruined like this, and it is not good to sue the old man about this matter, after all, the old man has opened Chrysostom in this matter - although the old man did not say that he wanted to seize the firm, it was purely to play on the topic, but once the matter of the business was brought to the court, one was too big to move, not what Hongqing wanted, and second, once the trouble was big, no matter whether he won or lost, It's not a good thing for Hongqing, it's not around, he was actually bullied by the minions, it seems that he Hongqing is too incompetent, and when it is time to use some shady means, Hongqing will definitely not be soft.

"If you want not to alarm the Admiral of the Nine Gates, your subordinates are only seventy percent sure."

As early as when he received the whereabouts of Michawan and Shun, Cao Yanshan was ready to take people, and he had already deduced the relevant action plan.

"Seventy percent? It's a lot, then go and do it. ”

Hongqing still trusted Cao Yanshan's ability, and he didn't hesitate much, and made a straightforward decision.

"Wow!"

Hongqing had already given the order, Cao Yanshan didn't dare to slack off a little, hurriedly bowed down, and responded cautiously, his voice full of confidence......

As soon as the Chongyang Festival passed, the sky was already a little cold, especially after the night fell, the wind was even more chilly, but the third master who was in good spirits obviously didn't care, only wearing a single coat, sitting on the desk and writing quickly, his head and face were actually covered with layers of sweat stains, and his eyebrows were full of excitement that could not be concealed.

"The child knocks to his father."

Just as the third master was writing about the rise place, he saw Hongqing turn out from behind the screen, walked a few steps, rushed to the front, and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me."

Hearing the sound, the third master raised his head, and when he saw that it was Hongqing, he immediately showed a warm smile on his face, put down his pen, raised his hand, and called out gently.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

Although he had already guessed the intention of his father's summons, Hongqing did not intend to expose it, and after thanking him in a proper manner, he immediately stood with his hands down and made an appearance of listening to the instructions.

"Hmm, how has the Ministry of Works been doing lately?"

The third master was obviously satisfied with Hongqing's humble attitude, but he didn't say much praise, just nodded approvingly, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to my father's words, there are many officials involved in the Ministry of Industry this time, although nearly half of the lack has been filled by the Ministry of Officials, but it is inevitable to be unfamiliar, but fortunately, the top and bottom are united, but they can still deal with it."

The third master's question seemed random, but in fact, there was no other center inside, asking about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, but aiming at the lack of books in the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing had a lot of information in his heart, but he didn't care, he just answered honestly.

"Well, that's fine, it's just that there are a lot of things to do in the Ministry of Works, but the position of Shangshu should not be absent for a long time, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Sure enough, as Hongqing expected, the third master was really interested in the lack of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and asked whether Hongqing had any ideas, but in fact, he was conveying to Hongqing that his third master had the intention of winning this position.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the Ministry of Works' Lang He Shen and Lord He have been quite effective in managing the affairs of the Ministry recently, and Huang Ma Fa may be greatly used for it."

Although the Ministry of Industry is ranked last, after all, it is one of the six, if it can be in the hands, it is naturally a good thing, Hongqing is not without this idea, but unfortunately this matter is not possible, there is no other, the third master has controlled the Ministry of Rites, for the sake of balance, the old man will definitely not let the Ministry of Industry fall into the hands of the third master, not only that, but also have to find a master of singing rivalry for Hongqing in the Ministry of Industry - the old man sent Hongqing to the Ministry of Industry, it was originally just an expedient measure, but he didn't expect Hongqing to not only really be able to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry, and actually pulled Samuha, the old man who has been in the Ministry of Industry for nearly 20 years, off the horse, with this great achievement, the old man is not good to remove Hongqing's Ministry of Works, but it is impossible to let the situation appear unbalanced, so it is inevitable to find an opponent for Hongqing.

"Hershin? Hey, that's it, let's talk about this again. ”

The third master is aspiring to a big position, and naturally has a good understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China, how could he not know that Heshen is a slave of the eighth master, in the eyes of the third master, although he is also a person with some ability, but he is not a very extravagant character, but ordinary people's ears, at this time, I heard Hongqing mention this person so cautiously, and I couldn't help but disagree in my heart, I wanted to say a few words to ridicule him, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate to discuss the short and long people behind him, so he didn't say more, but the disdain on his face was fully revealed.
