Chapter 20: Turning Danger into Relief (2)

"Boy, don't play any tricks on Lao Tzu!" Ren Huai'an sneered, grabbed the waist card, only glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened, and his eyes seemed to be set on his face, and he couldn't move.

"What's the matter, what's all the fuss about?" He Hong waved loudly.

Ren Huai'an came back to his senses at this time, ran over in a panic, and handed the waist card in front of He Hong, He Hong's eyes suddenly widened as big as copper bells, and he couldn't exhale when he inhaled it, and his lips trembled unconsciously.

The waist plate in front of me is cast in brass, the upper end is embossed with moire ornaments, there is a perforation in the middle, and three seals are engraved in a horizontal row above the front: Internal Affairs Office.

What is in the internal affairs office, there are only eunuchs, and the rank of the holder represented by this waist plate made of brass is suddenly six grades.

In the state of Chu, officials of all levels have waist cards worn to represent their identities, as the head of the six products of the criminal department, He Hong naturally also has a waist card, and it is also made of copper.

However, these two waist cards are placed together, although they are of the same rank, but their status is very different.

One is the small chief of the criminal department, located outside the palace, and when he sees an official who is a little older than himself, he has to bow down and salute, and he does not dare to exceed the etiquette of dignity and humility.

The six-rank eunuch represents the six-rank official in the palace, ranking in the position of deputy attendant of the internal affairs government, second only to the position of deputy chief and chief administrator, that is, the third and fourth person among the eunuchs. Not to mention that it is just a six-grade principal, even if it is a second- or third-grade officer, you have to be polite when you see it.

He Hong didn't know the weight of this waist card, he was almost frightened, but he was holding a little luck, this waist card was definitely not Fang Ling's, after all, he was still young, so he had the courage to question: "This ...... Where did you get the waist card?"

Although the words are questioning, they have no confidence at all, just because the eunuchs in the palace are all very young and entered the palace, so the age that they generally see is not too old, and the older ones have already mixed up with the official position, and if you want to go out of the palace to do things, you will naturally let the little eunuch do it, is it possible that Fang Ling is a little eunuch?

Fang Ling watched the change in the expressions of the two with interest, and then said slowly: "I thought that the adults were smart people, but they were still very confused. Do you think this prescription is mine?"

"That'...... Whose is that?" He Hong stammered.

Fang Ling got up from the chair, took his hand and said, "This prescription was given to the deputy by a certain lady, and then the deputy was handed over to me to make money outside the palace. Now, Lord He wants to cut off the wealth of the deputy for a little money?"

Having said this, the cold sweat on He Hong's forehead was one after another, and Ren Huai'an also seemed to have withered, where was there still a little bit of majesty, who would have thought that this prescription could actually involve a certain lady.

You must know that although the harem queen is in charge, the Chu Emperor is also very fond of several noble concubines, and each of these noble concubines is from a famous family, and there are no small forces inside and outside the palace.
