Just returned to Huaqing Palace.

Some palace maids and eunuchs who came to order Mao were surprised to find that Concubine Li Guifei was followed by a beautiful palace maid.

And the contour of this palace maid's face has a familiar and unfamiliar feeling, as if she has seen it somewhere.

The two had just entered the inner court dormitory.

Li Guifei shook her face and said, "You listen to this palace!" In the future, I will run to Wanfu Palace! ”

Chen Xiangbei, who was lying on the gun inexplicably, looked confused.

A woman's heart is a needle.

Li Guifei shouldn't be jealous, right?

But she obviously let herself go to bed last night?

"Did you hear that?"

Li Guifei said again in a warning tone.

"Whoa!"

Chen Xiangbei, who was confused, could only agree, and then retreated.

He cautiously touched the side hall and changed back into eunuch clothes.

The secret of his women's clothing boss can't be passed on, otherwise how can he establish his authority in Huaqing Palace in the future?

After finishing everything, Chen Xiangbei was about to go to the East Factory to check in.

But as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he bumped into the fiery little Yangzi head-on.

"Xiao Chenzi, I've finally found you!"

Xiao Yangzi was panting and looking anxious.

Chen Xiangbei frowned and said, "Xiao Yangzi, what's the alarm?" ”

Xiao Yangzi came to find him in such a hurry, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, could it be that something happened to the East Factory?

Could it be that the matter of collecting wool on the black market the night before was revealed?

After Xiao Yangzi calmed down his breath a little, he grabbed Chen Xiangbei's hand: "Let's go, hurry back to the East Factory, something happened!" ”

Along the way, Xiao Yangzi talked about the reason.

It turned out that outside the black market in the deep palace last night, a female official of the old party died.

It happened at dawn and the bodies of the deceased were looted.

It must be known that the function of the old party in the palace is equivalent to the high-level version of the prison court.

Among them, it is not only composed of a group of palace maids and female officials, but also many respected old female officials and old people.

On weekdays, it looks loose and loose, and there is no cohesion.

But once someone harms their interests, it is stronger than a twisted hemp rope.

Even the East Factory, which was chartered by the imperial power, or the West Factory, which was in charge of internal affairs, were unwilling to have any disputes with this group.

These women are more ruthless than the other, and they are more crazy than the other, if they are accidentally provoked, they will be burned in minutes.

What's more, it was a cronie of the old party who died this time.

If they don't find out about this matter, I'm afraid that they will stab the matter to the Ziluan Palace.

When it expires, everyone will not be able to gnaw on the fat of the black market.

Xiao Yangzi scolded and said: "It's okay to kill people and sell more goods, this bastard is still planting blame on Dongchang, and those crazy women are forcing us to give an explanation!" ”

Chen Xiangbei pondered for a moment, not quite wanting to stir up the troubled waters: "This matter is not trivial, I have only joined the East Factory for a short time, so I can't help much, right?" Why did you call me? Aren't you afraid that I'll hold back? ”

Xiao Yangzi said: "I also came to invite you on the order of Deacon Liu, maybe I want you to increase your experience?" ”

Chen Xiangbei fell silent after hearing this.

Increase?

Experience?

How could this old fox be so kind.

I don't know how to investigate cases, and I don't have any experience. . .

A sense of foreboding loomed over my heart.

Soon, he followed Xiao Yangzi to the meeting hall of the East Factory.

As soon as he came to the door, Chen Xiangbei felt a tense atmosphere.

In the conference hall, a female official with a good face and a tall figure was standing in front of Liu Shi, and she was followed by several female officials and veterans of not low rank.

Looking at this formation, it seems to be forcing the palace.

This person is Si Bo of Kunning Palace, and he is also the confidant of the queen's mother, Yao Qing.

Her appearance and temperament can be called a celestial, compared to unparalleled beauties like Concubine Li, she is only inferior to her.

"Dongchang supervises hundreds of officials, the harem and even the entire Great Zhou world, why can't they even find out that there is a dead person in the palace?"

Yao Qing looked at each other coldly, and his tone was full of doubt.

"Please Yao Sibo give us a little more time, and Dongchang will definitely be able to find out about this matter."

Liu Shi also felt helpless, this kind of thing happened to have a headache, and he had to withstand the pressure of the old party.

It's too hard.

The female official system in the palace is similar to that of Dongchang, with extremely strict grade differences.

And Yao Qing in front of Liu Shi is in a thin position, and his rank is second only to that of Shang Palace.

As the so-called official level crushes people to death, and the old party is especially good at fighting, Liu Shi does not dare to provoke easily.

It's not because Dongchang is not as hard as them, who would want to be harder than a thatched pit stone?

And because the female officials were trained from the palace, they knew a lot of secrets in the palace.

Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a clear rule that after a female official reaches a given age, she is not allowed to be dismissed from the palace, and can only marry into the official family assigned by the imperial court, or marry a meritorious soldier on the border, which can be regarded as a fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Over the years, countless female officials have married into the upper class, invisibly weaving a deep and vast cobweb, and they are a force that should not be underestimated.

In many cases, Dongchang needs to rely on their connections to handle cases.

Therefore, Liu Shi can only try his best to maneuver and strive to solve this matter satisfactorily.

"Good! Father-in-law Liu, you said this!

If you can't give an explanation after three days, then you can do it! ”

After putting down the cruel words, Yao Qing led everyone out of the conference hall.

Watching Yao Qing and the others go away, Liu Shi rubbed his eyebrows, with a helpless face: "Confess? We also want an explanation!

I really don't know what kind of mold I touched, I actually got involved with this group of crazy women, bad luck! ”

Then Chen Xiangbei and others came over.

"I've seen Gonggong Liu."

Chen Xiangbei took the lead in saluting, and he didn't guess riddles with the old fox, so he went straight to the point: "I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for me." ”

Liu Shi glanced at Chen Xiangbei, and a blue light appeared inexplicably in his eyes.

"Xiao Yangzi told you the ins and outs, right?"

"Got it."

"Then I'll work hard for you this time!"

Liu Shi's eyes flashed, and he patted Chen Xiangbei's shoulder in a deep tone, revealing an intriguing smile.

?

Chen Xiangbei knew that it would be a good thing to come to the East Factory this time.

But he never expected Liu Shi to throw the pot directly to him.

"Father-in-law Liu laughed, I also want to saddle the horse for Father-in-law Liu, but I have a rough understanding of entering and exiting the East Factory, I'm afraid it will be a hindrance!"

Chen excused himself from the North Pole Force, he didn't want to be covered in dung.

"Xiao Chenzi, you have a point!"

Chen Xiangbei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Liu Shi had dispelled the idea of letting him deal with this case.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shi opened his mouth again: "You don't know how to investigate cases, and you don't have no experience, so do you know why our family recruited you in?"

Because you have a specialty! ”

"I know I have a specialty, but I don't need it...

Chen Xiangbei blurted out.

"Yes!"

Liu Shi also replied quickly, as if he was very sure.
