When the letter was delivered to the capital, another month had passed, and the year had passed.

After Shen Zhao read the letter, he was so angry.

This is really the biggest mistake in his life!

I should have arranged Qin Lingzhi farther away!

He really wanted to go to Hangzhou now, but he didn't have a valid reason. And he only returned to Beijing from outside, so he ran out again, which didn't seem to be very good.

Just as he was thinking about it, the family walked into the study and said, "Young Master, Father-in-law Wan is here, saying that there is something to be returned to the eldest young master." ”

"Bring him in." Shen Zhao casually pressed the letter under the book.

After a while, Gonggong Wan walked in with Jiading, took out a booklet and handed it to Shen Zhao.

This booklet is Shen Zhao's investigation of officials from all over the world, recording their big and small mistakes and political achievements.

The spy bureau has a bad reputation, and it has the power to cut first and then play, and it is rumored that the spy bureau kills people without blinking, but in fact, it is all exaggeration and rumors from the outside world, and Shen Zhao is not indiscriminate and kills anyone.

Just like when he dealt with Shevolt, he waited for his guilt to reach the point where he could kill his head before he did it.

Therefore, he recorded some officials who had not reached the level of beheading for the time being, gave different degrees of punishment, and then reported them to the emperor in a centralized manner.

Wan Gong said: "Childe, long live the lord said, this booklet is still placed here for you, what to do, you can decide, and directly let the officials give you a paperwork." ”

"yes, I see." Shen Zhao replied lightly and put down the booklet, "Gonggong Wan only returned to Beijing a few days ago, and he didn't rest for a few days, so he went to serve Wan Sui Ye so soon?" ”

Wan Gonggong said with a smile: "The slave just went to the side of the Long Live Lord on the first night after returning to Beijing, and the slave was born to serve the Long Live Lord, and he felt uncomfortable for a night." ”

As he spoke, he sighed again and said abruptly, "It's a pity that the slave didn't even sit hot in the palace, and he was leaving Beijing again." ”

He also choked up, he was really reluctant to give up the emperor.

"......" Shen Zhao really wanted to say that dignified men were just separated for a few days, do they need to cry?

But when the words came to his mouth, he reacted, and Grandpa Wan was not a man.

He changed his tone and asked, "Why did Gonggong Wan leave Beijing?" ”

"Hey......" Wan Gonggong sighed, "Several old concubines have recently discussed expanding the harem for Wan Sui Ye, saying that Wan Sui Ye has been on the throne for more than three years, and he has only one concubine and no heirs, which is really not true, so he sent a few palace people to all over the country to select." ”

Shen Zhao smiled lightly: "Choosing a concubine is a big deal, and it really needs the most trusted chamberlain around Long Live Lord to go over." Where are you responsible? ”

"The minion is in charge of the Jiangnan area." Father-in-law Wan's mood replied slightly, "Fortunately, this place saves a lot of trouble, and the slave can come back as soon as possible after finishing it." ”

Isn't that where Song Beibei is?

Shen Zhao's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly had a bad premonition: "Father-in-law Wan is an interested candidate?" ”

Wan Gonggong nodded and said, "Yes!" When the slave was in Hangzhou, he heard that the sixth lady of the Song family had pretended to be a jade girl on the harvest festival, which was a surprise to the whole Hangzhou! And counting the age, she is exactly thirteen years old this year, which is in line with the minimum age of our Dayong concubine. ”

Shen Zhao frowned almost inexplicably: "Duke Wan wants to choose Song Beibei?" ”

Wan Gonggong clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Moreover, her eldest brother Song Qing is a close friend of Long Live Ye, and the third brother Song Dongfeng is the imperial gunsmith of Dayong. Not to mention that Miss Song looks good, even if it is not good, just these conditions are there, and her position as the imperial concubine is also proper! Childe, can you tell me if Miss Song Liu is a good candidate to be a concubine? ”

"It's not." Shen Zhao vetoed it without thinking about it, "I know that Song Xiaoliu, who is treacherous, lazy, and greedy, and has no loyalty at all. If she enters the palace as a concubine, if there is an assassin in the palace, she will definitely push Banzai Ye out to block the knife for her! ”

"Huh? This ......"

Grandpa Wan was very surprised, entangled for a long time, and said: "Then I'd better go over there and see how I am, although Long Live Lord also likes Miss Song Liu, but he didn't say that she has to be, if the slave finds that she really has no merit, he will definitely not bring her back to harm Long Live Lord." ”

Shen Zhao involuntarily tightened his hands...... Is it still the emperor's intention?

But he didn't have anything to worry about, what he just said didn't belittle Song Beibei in the slightest.

Isn't she just a little girl who has no righteousness, is greedy for life and fears death, cowardly and indebted, and knows how to eat, drink, and Lazar all day long?

As long as Song Beibei plays normally, he will definitely not be elected to the palace.

And he believes that if the Song family had brains, they would not send the only palm pearl to the palace.

But that being said...... He was still a little worried.

I have raised a small fish for so long...... Are you really going to give it to someone else?

He wanted to go over and have a look.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the opportunity came.

Yang Chengen made an appointment with him in the spy bureau.

The master and apprentice hadn't seen each other for a long time, but there was no greeting.

Yang Chengen said: "Zhao'er, there is something that you need to do in person." Today, there is news that the Song and Qing dynasties set up academies in Western Xinjiang and do not charge money for poor children to go to school. Therefore, you need to go and investigate the Song family carefully. ”

Shen Zhao could understand their concerns.

The people of the Song family can make extremely powerful weapons, as well as countless wealth, and now even the hearts of the people are ...... If these brothers join forces to rebel, the court is afraid that they will change their surname to Song.

But Shen Zhao felt that the Song family would not have this kind of thought at all.

"Master, since four years ago, I have been sending people to pay attention to the movements of the Song family. The Song family didn't have much pursuit of power, they were all pure people, just indulging in what they liked. Song Qing repeatedly rejected the will of the Lord of Long Live to send him as an official, Song Dongfeng built an anti-aircraft gun, and it was also dedicated to the imperial court first, how could they rebel? ”

In short, these people are not interested in being emperors at all.

If there were, they would have done it a long time ago.

Yang Chengen sighed and said, "You believe them, but the people in the court don't believe them." Everyone in the family is in danger, and they are afraid that the change of dynasty will affect them. ”

Shen Zhao didn't say much anymore, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to check immediately." However, the apprentice is very curious, is this what the master means, or is it the meaning of the long live master? ”

Yang Chengen was vague: "You just do it." ”

Shen Zhao sensibly stopped asking.

However, if the Song family is the emperor's intention, while maintaining a good relationship with several brothers of the Song family, he also hinted that Gonggong Wan would take Song Xiaoliu to the palace......

Then Song Xiaoliu is afraid that he is not simply entering the palace as a concubine, but just a tool for the royal family to check and balance the Song family.

Now that the master asked him to check the Song family, he went to Qingxian first and started to check from Song Beibei.

He wanted to see if Song Beibei's unobtrusive temperament, what reason Gonggong Wan had to choose her.
