After knocking out a few gangsters, Wei Shaoguang and Xia Houming went around several times from other places before jumping from the wall into the backyard of the pharmacy.

Shaking the light and patting the water stains on the hem of his clothes, he walked into the inner hall.

Li Youguang was packing up the herbs and was taken aback by Wei Shaoguang.

"Coming back so soon?"

"I just asked a few words, and I was discovered by a few thugs."

Shaoguang leaned on the side of the black shelf with his chest crossed, looking at Li Youguang busy working, "Don't stop much, I want to take a carriage to the criminal department quickly, the night is long and dreamy, it's better to do it as soon as possible." ”

"Well, there aren't many people in the store at this time, so I'll send you out."

"Okay."

Li Youguang put the herb back in his hand, turned around and took out a small bottle from the shelf behind him and handed it to Shaoguang.

"This is a new medicine I recently made, called Nightmare, it has hallucinogenic properties, if you accidentally expose your whereabouts, feed this medicine to the enemy, the enemy will have a sense of confusion in the memory before taking the medicine, and doubt their authenticity, oh! It can also be used to interrogate the enemy, feed one and answer whatever you ask. ”

Shaking Guang reached out to take the medicine, looked at the small white porcelain bottle in his hand and showed a satisfied smile, "Isn't it powdered?" It's a pity. ”

"If you make it like this, you will be content, the powder will be the enemy and I will not distinguish between the enemy, what if you fool yourself are tricked? There is also a smell of fat powder in this medicine, so pay attention to clean up the mess. ”

"Okay! I took it, thank you! ”

Shaoguang stuffed the medicine bottle into his arms, turned around and walked out, Li Youguang followed behind her.

"Slow down, my lord!"

Standing at the door, Li Youguang pretended to be the owner of the pharmacy and sent Wei Shaoguang away, he stood at the door and watched Shaoguang get into the carriage and leave Qixia Road, and after that, he restrained his expression and turned around and walked back to the pharmacy.

"I'll rest for a while, don't let people come in and disturb me!"

"Yes, sir."

Li Youguang instructed an apprentice to let him watch the door of the inner hall, and he quickly changed into a set of gray clothes and quietly jumped out of the window, and then jumped over the wall into the seventh street, and it took some effort to find three little gangsters who were stacked together and lying in the corner, Li Youguang took out a white porcelain bottle and poured out three pills and stuffed them into the mouths of the three respectively, watching them gradually frown in the coma, Li Youguang smiled with satisfaction, turned around and quickly left here.

Qi continued to use the system of three provinces and six departments, the entire Shangshu Province was located outside, and a new office was set up in the six departments except for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and the rest were crowded into one office, which was located in the east of Shengjing City, next to the Left Janissary Guard, and to get there, you only need to go all the way along Xuanping Street and turn a corner.

In the place near the Qingxuan East Bridge is the majestic office area.

A row of black buildings, two white stone lions stood in front of the door, a heavy vermilion gate, a lantern with Shang characters written on it hung under the black eaves, and two rows of officers and soldiers standing in front of the door.

The carriage stopped in front of the main gate, Wei Shaoguang stepped on the horse and walked down gracefully, and Xiahou Ming held an umbrella for her.

"Stop! This is an important place for the imperial court, and it is forbidden for idle people to enter! ”

An officer and soldier took a few steps forward with a saber hanging from his waist to stop Wei Shaoguang.

Shaoguang calmly took out his waist card and handed it over.

"I am Yan Yuheng, the newly appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy, and I have come to see Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, on the orders of His Majesty."

She spoke of her identity gently but not lacking in majesty, with a light smile on her face, a handsome face, clean eyes, and a soft and rigid temperament, which was inviolable.

The gatekeeper who took her identity waist card to check it carefully checked it, looked at Wei Shaoguang again, and then respectfully handed the waist card back with both hands.

"Lord Yan, what a offense! You please come in! ”

He took the hand holding the saber and turned sideways to make way of the passage, Wei Shaoguang nodded with a light smile and walked in front of him with Xiahou Ming.

"It doesn't matter."

Her voice is clear and clean, looking young but her eyes reveal a calm feeling, although she often has a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her means are ruthless, and she is definitely not a person who is easy to deal with.

The officer and soldier standing on the side felt a tremor that was difficult to describe the moment Wei Shaoguang passed in front of him, he shrank his pupils in fear, and then quickly raised his head and looked at Wei Shaoguang with his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Shake the light and ask him with a smile, "What's wrong?" Anything else to check? ”

"No, no, Lord Yan, please come in, Lord Zhao is still in there and hasn't left."

"Okay, thank you little brother for the reminder."

Wei Shaoguang turned his head and continued to walk forward, her figure slowly disappeared at the gate, and the officers and soldiers next to her hooked their heads and looked inside before they dared to come back and ask suspiciously.

"What did you just do? It is said that Lord Yan just now is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, you didn't want to die just now?! ”

"I, I don't know what's going on...... I just felt that something was not quite right, so I subconsciously held the handle of the knife and looked over. ”

"You! Watch out next time! Later, when that Lord Yan comes back, you will behave well, and if that Lord Yan holds a grudge, you will be finished. ”

"Yes, yes, I will......"

……

After a brief conversation, they dispersed, and they were not allowed to gather to chat when they were on duty, and if they were discovered, the consequences would be serious.

Xiahou Ming, who accompanied Shaoguang into Shangshu Province, also asked Shaoguang suspiciously: "Childe, why did you intimidate that officer and soldier just now?" ”

Wei Shaoguang answered his question with a slightly helpless smile: "I just want him to tell me that Zhao Yizhi is not here, after all, it is common for officials to run back and forth, and the gatekeeper always learns bad habits to embarrass the new petty officials, and I just want to take a few steps less wrongly." ”

"Oh."

Xia Houming suddenly didn't know how to answer, so he kept silent.

The rain has been dripping down, and the dense rain is blown by the breeze and falls on the face, which is cold. Shaking his head and glancing at Xia Houming, who was holding an umbrella for himself, his dark eyes showed unaccustomed emotions, so he unconsciously quickened his pace.

The six departments are crammed into one office, which is particularly unfavorable for newcomers to do things, and Shake Light has begun a journey of wanting to curse since he stepped on this ancient hall.

Like the Hanlin Temple, it is a six-department office built directly on the basis of the old hall, and it also has the same problems. As soon as you enter the door, you will see the low-level employees running around with documents, facing the door is a huge brick-red long table, on which are stacked like a hill of documents, several men in different grades of official uniforms are sitting at the table and arguing loudly about something, next to the big pillar that neither of them can hold together is a room separated by a screen, and it is also in full swing.

"Uh......"

I never thought that this would be like this Shake Light lost his ability to express himself for a while, and after being stunned for a second, he decisively reached out and grabbed a civil official at random, and quickly said his purpose in his surprised and angry eyes:

"Excuse me! I'm looking for Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, where is he now? ”

"Follow the pillar all the way to the west."

"Thank you!"

Letting go of the man, Wei Shaoguang took Xiahou Ming and walked straight to the west, and really found Zhao Yizhi.

"Lord Zhao!"

Zhao Yizhi was sitting at the table looking at the file in his hand, and he raised his head from the file when he heard someone call him.

"It's Lord Yan! Come in. ”

Zhao Yizhi got up and invited Wei Shaoguang in, "Go make two cups of tea and bring them up." ”

He instructed one of the chamberlains to make tea, and he closed the file on the table and invited him to the hospitality area.

"I don't know what Lord Yan is doing when he came to find this official today?"

Zhao Yizhi looked very tired, and there was already a black circle around his eyes, and it seemed that he should have stayed up for a few days and nights.

"Lord Zhao, there are some things I want to give to you when Weichen comes this time."

Shaoguang handed over the edict he got from His Majesty the day before yesterday to Zhao Yizhi.

"Lord Zhao, I'm afraid that the fragments of the Frontier Talisman will also trouble you."

Wei Shaoguang said this sentence meaningfully, and Zhao Yizhi, who had read His Majesty's handwritten message, was quite relaxed, and he handed the handwritten message back to Wei Shaoguang.

"You and I are old acquaintances, so we don't need to call each other 'adults', why don't I also learn the words that His Majesty calls you?"

"Naturally, it's okay, and I'll dare to ask for your words that night."

"Hahaha! Say! My word is taken by the teacher, the single word is a 'cheng', you can call me Zicheng, meaning the beauty of adults, I am ashamed to be an official for more than 20 years but did not meet the expectations of the teacher. ”

"Beauty for adults...... Late Sheng, I think that your position as the secretary of the Criminal Department itself has the meaning of adult beauty. ”

Wei Shaoguang looked at Zhao Yizhi, who was in his forties, and speculated in his heart about his intention to avoid talking about the fragments of the Sealing Talisman, and Zhao Yizhi laughed a few times after hearing Shaoguang's words, his brown eyes reflected the young face of Shaoguang, he patted the chair circle and said with a smile:

"Tongguang is really a clear-minded person, and he woke me up all of a sudden, it's really not a loss to Sanyuan and the first champion!"

"You're polite, it's just a sudden inspiration, and you can't be a person with a clear mind in your later life."

"Tongguang is too modest, when I saw you in Huairou two years ago, I thought you must be an extraordinary person, but I didn't expect that two years later we would be officials of the same dynasty, it's really amazing!"

"All this is Your Majesty's benevolence and kindness, and the late life is just a class of scholars, just like asking for your advice today, the late life received His Majesty's order for the first time, and his heart was really panicked, so he cheekily asked His Majesty for a handwritten edict to ask you for advice, and I hope you can give you advice."

What she said was not only beautiful and good, but also successfully turned the topic back to the original matter, which made Zhao Yizhi's original idea of trying his ability have to be interrupted, because Zhao Yizhi already knew his ability.

This middle-aged and slightly blessed official has been mixed in the officialdom for many years, and has long been trained into a subconscious skill, and the newcomer must suppress the temptation, and if he has the ability, he will cultivate it well in the future so as to leave a way out for himself.

"I don't dare to teach, Tongguang is much better than the average young man, although I am a minister, but I also have to admit my shortcomings because of my age. However, Tongguang's visit today has provided me with a lot of clues to detect the Ouyang Fu incident. ”

Wei Shaoguang introduced him into the pit of the Guogong Mansion, and he turned his hand and stuffed Shaoguang into Ouyang Fu's ditch, sure enough, officialdom is like a battlefield, and he can't be careless, but fortunately, Wei Shaoguang originally planned to meddle in Ouyang Fu's affairs, and it would be better if he could mention Xuan Qingyi's affairs.

"It's really an honor for Wansheng to be able to help you, but Ouyang Fu seems to be really involved in the Guogong Mansion, and Wansheng went to Longcuifang, where the Liu clan often goes, yesterday to investigate some things, I don't know if I can help you."

"Oh? Speak with the light and listen. ”

According to the shopkeeper, the Liu family seems to love a kind of gems from the Dongyun Kingdom, and will buy a lot of them every time they go to the store, and she also went to the store once a while before she stole the fragments of the Sealing Talisman with the thieves, when the shopkeeper habitually took the new gems in the store to the Liu family, but the Liu family refused, saying that the gems in the store were not in good condition, and she got more high-quality gems. This unusual change, he speculated in his later life, could it be that the Liu clan had a connection with Ouyang Fu from the Dongyun Kingdom, and made a move to exchange the fragments of the Frontier Talisman for gems? Of course, this is just a late guess, I hope it will help you find Ouyang Fu's traces. ”

Wei Shaoguang added fuel and vinegar to tell Zhao Yizhi about the Liu family, and it was up to Zhao Yizhi to judge whether her words were true or false.

While the two were talking, the attendant finally made two cups of tea and carefully brought them over on a tray.

Wei Shaoguang glanced in the direction where the attendant was coming, and then glanced at the place where Zhao Yizhi had put the file before, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you!"

Shake the light politely thanked him, then lifted the lid and blew lightly and took a slow sip.

"Shhh It's hot! ”

Shaoguang, who was burned, naturally dropped the teacup, and implicated the attendant who was handing tea to Zhao Yizhi.

"Shhh What are you doing!? ”

Zhao Yizhi was successfully drenched in his official uniform by a cup of hot water, and the attendant was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, while Wei Shaoguang, who was the culprit, quickly stood up and apologized to Zhao Yizhi.

Zhao Yizhi didn't blame Wei Shaoguang, but he stood up unhappily, and asked the rough attendant to hurry down and don't bother in front of him, and he had to get up to change the wet clothes on his body, and took this opportunity to shake the light and glanced at the file on the table at a very fast speed, and after successfully seeing the file with Xuan Qingyi written on it, Shaguang decided on the temporary plan for a while.

She wanted to see the dossier.
