Now whether Shao Xi wants to investigate the matter of the Tong family in Fengyang County is no longer the point, the focus is on whether Yu Ji will be involved in the process of investigation.

Now that Yu Ji has expressed his attitude, it has become less important whether this matter is investigated or not.

Xiao Changyi handed over the matter of Fengyang County to Shao Xi to investigate, but he did not put forward any requirements on how long it would take to investigate and whether it was necessary to find out the results, and there was a lot of room for maneuver in the middle.

Shao Xi was ordered to investigate this matter, it would be okay for three months and five months, and it would be no problem for a year and a half, as long as Xiao Changyi didn't ask, Shao Xi would not be able to investigate it for ten or eight years.

This means that when this matter needs to have a result, it is all in Shao Xi's hands, as long as this matter is not over, Yu Ji will always have a handle in Shao Xi's hands.

This is Xiao Changyi's purpose in handing over this matter to Shao Xi for investigation, that is, to let Shao Xi pinch the old guy Yu Ji and let him be honest in the future.

Of course, Yu Ji knew this very well in his heart, since Xiao Changyi handed over this matter to Shao Xi, he wanted him to press himself through this matter.

As long as he is a little careless in the future, Xiao Changyi will be dissatisfied with himself, Shao Xi will be the knife that Xiao Changyi used to kill himself, and it is also an extremely sharp knife that kills people without seeing blood.

Although Yu Ji was unwilling to do this, he could only accept the reality.

Shao Xi sent Yu Ji away from Yintaimen, and along the way he was still thinking about how to use the resources in Yu Ji's hands in the future.

The wealth in the hands of the head of the household department is not a little bit, and mastering the household department is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of the other departments, and it will naturally be much more convenient to do things in the DPRK and China in the future.

However, Shao Xi also knew very well in his heart that Yu Ji would never be willing to be controlled by himself, and he would definitely do everything possible to get rid of him.

Either through various means to eliminate the influence of the Fengyang County incident on him, or to find an opportunity to hold his handle as a condition for mutual containment, Shao Xi has to guard against both aspects.

The first thing to do is to completely control Li Rui, the county guard of Fengyang, in his own hands, and he must not give Yu Ji a chance to kill his mouth, as for wanting to seize his handle, Shao Xi believes that Yu Ji is afraid that he will not be able to do this at the moment.

It seems that he has to arrange for reliable people to go to Fengyang County to escort Li Rui back to Kyoto Daliang, nominally for arraignment and detention, but in fact to protect him from being poisoned.

Shao Xi soon came to the mansion of Zhang Yuzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Shao Xi has been an envoy to Beijing for half a year, and now his visit to Zhang Yuzheng also makes Zhang Yuzheng feel overjoyed and personally go out to greet him.

After the two exchanged polite greetings, Shao Xi handed Zhang Yuzheng the list of various places sorted out according to the detailed records of the goods in the tea carriage.

Zhang Yuzheng took a look at it, and the prefectures, counties, and counties involved were almost all over the entire Jingyuan Empire.

With a puzzled expression, he asked Shao Xi: "I don't know what is the use of the virtuous nephew listing the place names of so many state capitals, counties and counties?" What is so special about these places that makes the nephew so concerned? ”

Shao Xi naturally wouldn't say that he wanted to secretly investigate someone in the DPRK, but he couldn't have no reason to call in secret agents and secret piles from all over the country.

So he smiled and said to Zhang Yuzheng: "This matter is still related to the previous investigation of the assassination of the envoy of the White Night Kingdom on the order of the Holy Lord, and I recently got news from Dali Temple, and I suspect that someone is secretly transmitting information under the cover of transporting tea to Kyoto.

"Uncle, you also know that the murder of the envoy of the White Night Kingdom in our dynasty is not trivial, there must be someone who wants to use this to create a contradiction between our dynasty and the White Night Kingdom, no matter who the other party is, it is useless to use a carriage to transport tea to pass on the information collected by secret agents from all over the world.

"So I would like to ask my uncle for permission to call the 'Jing Chengsi' agents in these places to secretly find out what information they are collecting, so as to find the mastermind behind this case, and the call of these people needs your approval, uncle."

Zhang Yuzheng heard Shao Xi say this, but he didn't say a word, and wrote a list in front of Shao Xi and handed it to Shao Xi.

"These are the lists of the people in charge of the secret agents and secret stakes in various parts of the Jingyuan Kingdom, as long as you get in touch with these people, they and their secret agents will act according to the order whether you let them find out the news or let them carry out the assassination mission."

"Why didn't my uncle ask me what I was going to do with these spies and secret stakes?"

Zhang Yuzheng smiled faintly, patted Shao Xi's shoulder, and said, "Child, as long as you don't want to rebel, no matter what you want to do, Uncle will try his best to help you."

"Your father has worked with me for many years, and the friendship between the two of us is by no means comparable to others, and now that you have succeeded your father and continue to serve the saint, I will naturally help if I can, so why ask?"

Zhang Yuzheng's words moved Shao Xi a lot.

It can be seen that Zhang Yuzheng had a very good relationship with Feng Changlin back then, but now that Feng Changlin is gone, Zhang Yuzheng still thinks of the old love, and still takes a lot of care for Feng Changlin's son.

"Uncle has always taken care of the little nephew, and the little nephew really doesn't know how to repay the uncle."

"You and I are not outsiders, how can we repay here? No matter what difficulties the virtuous nephew encounters in the future, all you need to do is come to my uncle and tell him, and I will definitely help the virtuous nephew with all my might. ”

Zhang Yuzheng said this not politely perfunctory, but from the heart.

Originally, he did not like to participate in the struggle between the various ministries of the DPRK and China, but now he decided to bet on Shao Xi, who believed that with Shao Xi's intelligence and ability, he would definitely achieve something in the future.

Coupled with his father's relationship with him, Zhang Yuzheng really has no reason not to help Shao Xi.

The reason why Xiao Changyi chose to hand over the "Jing Chengsi" to them in charge of the Ministry of Rites was precisely because they never chose to take sides between the various forces in the DPRK and China.

And in this treacherous court, not choosing to take sides is a mistake in itself, and it will be targeted by all forces at the same time.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Changyi put them in charge of the "Jing Cheng Division" will be feared by all forces, and at the same time, the relationship with the Ministry of Rites has become more delicate.

Everyone is afraid of "Keiji", but at the same time, everyone also hopes that they will disappear, because their existence is like a bomb hanging over their heads that will detonate at any time to those who have unclean butts in the DPRK, and they may bring disaster to themselves one day.

Therefore, for many years, Zhang Yuzheng and Feng Changlin have been like a disaster star for some people, neither daring to provoke them blatantly, but also wanting to get rid of them quickly.

In this court environment, only if the "Jing Chengsi" is more united, it will not be eliminated one day, so Zhang Yuzheng and Feng Changlin have always had a very close relationship.

When Feng Changlin resigned and returned to his hometown, although on the surface, Zhang Yuzheng didn't know that Feng Changlin was continuing to work for Xiao Changyi in private, but in fact, Zhang Yuzheng knew it.

Because after Feng Changlin resigned from the post of waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the post of "Jing Chengsi" did not resign, which means that Feng Changlin's resignation was instructed by Xiao Changyi, and there must be an unknown reason for this.

Although Zhang Yuzheng and Feng Changlin concurrently serve as the "Jing Cheng Division" at the same time, it is secretive, but in fact, everyone in the court knows it, so after the accident in Fengjiazhuang eleven years ago, Zhang Yuzheng knew that Feng Changlin must have found out something in the court to be victimized.

In the past eleven years, Zhang Yuzheng has been cautious and cautious, and has been looking for opportunities to avenge Feng Changlin.

Now the appearance of Shao Xi has made Zhang Yuzheng see hope, Xiao Changyi values Shao Xi so much, and also makes Zhang Yuzheng understand that Shao Xi must be the one who will take over the "Jing Cheng Division" in the future.

Whether it is out of his friendship with Feng Changlin back then, or his recognition of Shao Xi, he will fully support Shao Xi, so that Shao Xi can give full play to his talents in this position of supervision and inspection history, and lay the foundation for taking over the "Jingcheng Division" in the future.

Zhang Yuzheng not only handed over to Shao Xi the list of secret agents and people in charge of the secret piles in his hands, but also wrote a warrant and handed it to Shao Xi.

Shao Xi has the same rights as him wherever he goes with this warrant, which means that Shao Xi has the same right to supervise history as Zhang Yuzheng.

Although Xiao Changyi never mentioned this matter to Zhang Yuzheng, when Zhang Yuzheng knew that Xiao Changyi had completely let go of his power to Shao Xi, he knew that Shao Xi had been fully trusted by Xiao Changyi, and there were no restrictions on Shao Xi's actions outside in the future.

Since the saint has such trust in Shao Xi now, then he should naturally gradually transfer the power in his hands to Shao Xi, so that Shao Xi can fully exert his talents in the "Jing Cheng Division", and at the same time begin to build his prestige, so that he can truly take over the "Jing Cheng Division" in the future.

Shao Xi is both grateful and pressured by Zhang Yuzheng's move.

Zhang Yuzheng put the power in his own hands, which also means that the responsibility of "Jing Chengsi" is also in his own hands, and many things will have to be faced independently by himself in the future, and he can no longer rely on others to take care of himself as before.

From the beginning of becoming an official, what I felt at the beginning was the convenience brought by the power in my hands.

The incident in Qingshan County made Shao Xi begin to yearn for real power in his hands, because only with power in his own hands can he better protect the people around him.

And after this year, Shao Xi began to gradually feel the pressure brought by power, because after having power in his hands, it also brought more responsibilities and troubles with convenience.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

When you have something in your hand that others desire or even fear, others will do their best to win over and please themselves, and at the same time, they will do everything they can to bring down and eradicate themselves.

In the eyes of others, you are like a toll booth on a highway, and everyone is unwilling to offend you, and they may welcome you with a smile while handing over the benefits to you.

But in fact, no one wants to put this benefit in your hands, and under that smiling face may be a heart that wants to kill you.

Those who master the rules are destined to be hated by those who break the rules.
