Zhang Lianying, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, sent someone to the small wine shop to investigate the matter of drinking with people at noon on the day before the jailer He Er's death, and was soon discovered by the informant of the capital governor, and the news was reported to Shen Deyi, after Shen Deyi got the news, he had to admire Zhang Lianying's fast work efficiency, and he felt that Zhang Lianying was indeed a very difficult guy.

Shen Deyi was a little worried, if Zhang Lianying continued to investigate, she might find out the truth.

Previously, it was Shen Deyi who asked his brother-in-law "Herbalist" to personally take action and use a trick to kill the jailer He Erleng, if Zhang Lianying found out that the jailer's death was done by the "herbalist", the situation would be very strict, once Zhang Lianying reported the true situation to the emperor or the empress dowager, in case there was a new will to thoroughly investigate the cause of Dr. He's death, there would be a very dangerous situation, and Shen Deyi might not be able to get out of it, at that time, Shen Deyi would have to lose the car to protect the handsome and sacrifice the "herbalist" to protect himself, so the price is too great, Shen Deyi's plan to control the martial arts also needs the assistance of the "herbalist", he can't discard the "herbalist", and he can't lose this general.

Shen Deyi has been cooperating and competing with Zhang Lianying in the court for many years, he has a deep understanding of Zhang Lianying, he knows that Zhang Lianying, like him, has two very similar characteristics, the first is that once you want to do something, you must do it to the end, and you will never give up until you reach your goal; the second is that everything is done for the sake of benefit, never just for the sake of doing things, doing everything is for the sake of power and benefit, after weighing the pros and cons, once you find that you have the right to be profitable, you can change the way of doing things. You can even give up what you should be doing persistently.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Deyi decided to retreat as advance, first make some concessions to Zhang Lianying, temporarily cede some power to Zhang Lianying, and then take it back when the opportunity comes in the future.

Shen Deyi neatly dressed in his official uniform, and when he arrived at the celebrant supervisor, he explained to the guards at the gate that he was going to visit Zhang Lianying, and one of the guards at the gate knew Shen Deyi. Very politely asked him to rest at the door. He hurried in to report.

Soon, the guards came out to report, saying that Gonggong Zhang had invited Gonggong Shen to enter, and the guards respectfully led the way in front. They arrived at the door of Zhang Lianying's office. The guard at the door went in to report. Zhang Lianying walked to the door to greet her.

"Gonggong Shen, what kind of wind blew you to the celebrant today? You haven't been here for a long time. Please come in!" Zhang Lianying said to Shen Deyi in an enthusiastic tone, but Shen Deyi could hear that there was a bit of blame in his words.

"I've long wanted to visit Grandpa Zhang, but Grandpa Zhang, I'm afraid that I will disturb you when I come, and today I suddenly feel that I want to see Grandpa Zhang, so I dare to come, I hope it won't disturb you!" Shen Deyi said humbly.

"Where do you say, Gonggong Shen can come to the celebrant supervisor, he came with brilliance, we are full of brilliance, the old man is too late to be happy, how can it be 'disturbing', we are all doing things for the emperor, we should come and go often, Gonggong Shen, please sit!" Zhang Lianying said.

Shen Deyi respectfully invited Zhang Lianying to sit first, and then he also took a seat, and the little eunuch made Biluochun high-grade tea, and they drank tea and were polite to each other.

Shen Deyi said: "Gonggong Zhang is the head of the 24 yamen of the inner court, including the 12 prisons, the fourth division, the eighth bureau and other institutions, and there are a lot of things to deal with every day. ”

Shen Deyi deliberately exaggerated Zhang Lianying's prominent official position, affirmed his leadership position, and tried to make Zhang Lianying happy.

"Shen Gonggong said kind words, the twelve eunuchs of the inner court, each institution has a special person in management, the old man is just optimistic about the celebrant for the emperor, like Shen Gonggong is in charge of the governor, how dare the old man interfere beyond his authority, Shen Gonggong has been in charge of the capital for several years, and he has done a good job, and he has also added a police department, which is more and more appreciated by the emperor, and Shen Gonggong's future is unlimited!" Zhang Lianying said words praising Shen Deyi, in fact, the words contained dissatisfaction with Shen Deyi's continuous addition of institutions and expansion of power in the past few years.

"Father-in-law Zhang praised falsely, in the Holy Hongfu, with the support of Father-in-law Zhang, I was fortunate to do things in the governor's prison, and added a few more people, just to live up to the emperor's grace, try to do things well, and dare not act recklessly, without the support of Father-in-law Zhang, there will be nothing to achieve in the future, how dare you think about the future. Shen Deyi once again expressed his respect for Zhang Lianying.

Zhang Lianying thought: "Shen Deyi, who has always been arrogant, but today he shows a special politeness and humility, what kind of conspiracy is this cunning wolf playing, the old man wants to take a closer look, what kind of heart is he attoying?"

"Gonggong Shen is very concerned about many things in the inner court, since you were in charge of the prison, you have done a lot of things, everyone has reached your ability, you have done a much better job than the leaders of several other 'prisons' such as the Divine Palace Supervisor and Shang Bao Supervisor, the old man still admires you, so don't be modest." Zhang Lianying said.

"Compared with the heavy affairs handled by Gonggong Zhang, what he did under him was just some inconspicuous chores, and he did his best, so how could he have any ability. Shen Deyi said modestly.

Zhang Lianying invited Shen Deyi to drink tea, and he himself picked up the teacup and tasted the tea, he asked easily: "What has Gonggong Shen been busy with recently? The emperor has no plans to go on patrol in the near future, so Gonggong Shen shouldn't be so busy, right?"

"The governor is mainly busy guarding the road for the emperor's patrol police, the emperor has no plan to patrol in the near future, and the people in the governor are more relaxed, but there are a lot of things to be busy with at ordinary times, and these abilities are limited, so they are still busy, and they have something to do every day, and they seem to be idle. Shen Deyi said.

"Shen Gonggong is a person who can't be idle, sometimes you may also intervene and help out with some things that shouldn't be busy with you, of course this is not idle, I heard that after the queen was sick, you have also been helping with the affairs of the hospital, can this not be busy?" Zhang Lianying deliberately led the topic to the sensitive topics that Shen Deyi cared about.

Shen Deyi thought to himself: "What a Zhang Lianying, deliberately led the topic to the topic I was worried about. He already knows some of the situation, and deliberately finds sensitive topics to stimulate me, so I might as well simply push the boat down, since you make a direct move, I have no choice but to respond. ”

"Father-in-law Zhang is well-informed and discerning, how can he hide what he is doing from Father-in-law Zhang, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, and he should do his best to do something as his subordinates, and Jiang Dexing is more familiar with the hospital in the next place. Sometimes I just go and sit. Naturally, they also asked whether the queen was recovering to health, and everyone hoped that the queen would recover as soon as possible. Last time, there was a misdiagnosis of the queen by Imperial Physician Ho Chun-yan. Later, Imperial Physician Wu died in prison. Gonggong Zhang must know a lot, can you talk about it and open your eyes to it?" Shen Deyi led the topic to a sharp question.

"The old man is on the orders of the Queen Mother. On the day of Dr. He's death, a jailer met a stranger who came out of the prison, and when we were going to ask the jailer, the jailer choked to death by a cake at the birthday banquet, the old man thought that Dr. He's death was likely not to be a suicide but a homicide, and the jailer's death was someone who killed people, and the old man also found out that at noon on the day before the jailer's death, he went to drink with a very suspicious person, and they went to the small wine shop where they drank, and the old man's people also went to investigate, and got important clues, Shen Gonggong is very familiar with the people in Tai Hospital, and he must be very clear about the death of Taiyi He, how can he ask such a question to the old man?" Zhang Lianying looked at Shen Deyi with questioning eyes.

Shen Deyi thought: "Zhang Lianying has already pointed out the key to the problem, and I have no choice but to go straight to the point, he said:" Father-in-law Zhang, I won't hide it from you, I came to the master of ceremonies today, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to come to see you, say hello to you, and come to discuss something with you, I have been thinking about it recently, I used to do things in the inner court, a little reckless, I was a novice, and I didn't respect Gonggong Zhang enough, and now I think about it very guilty, you are the head of the twelve eunuchs in the inner court, and you are only the person in charge of the last of the twelve eunuchs, for a long time, if you have not been covered, how can you do things so smoothly, you are the leader, and you are just the small head of an office under the ceremonial supervisor, and you will be at the helm in the future, and you will do specific things in the futureIn the next only serious management of the affairs of the governor, please Zhang Gonggong more guidance and supervision, other things, without Zhang Gonggong's instructions, in the next must not be done, the master of ceremonies is the chief agency in the twenty-four yamen of the central officials, is the authoritative yamen, there is Zhang Gonggong in charge of the master of ceremonies, the affairs of the inner court can be handled in an orderly manner, all in order, in the next is now very convincing to Zhang Gonggong!"

"Why did Gonggong Shen suddenly become so modest today, the sudden change in your attitude made the old man a little unacceptable, was your statement and promise to the old man just now kind words or sincerity? In the past, your vision was very high, and even the celebrant did not like your eyes, but now you really start to look up to the celebrant priest? Do you show respect to the old man, are you making the old man happy, or is it a sincere attitude? What the old man hates the most is rhetoric and hypocrisy, Shen Gonggong is famous for his ability in the inner court, you shouldn't play tricks in front of the old man, right?" Zhang Lianying made it clear very frankly, he felt that since Shen Deyi came to the celebrant supervisor, he must have come with real thoughts, and Zhang Lianying didn't want to go around in circles with Shen Diyi anymore.

"Father-in-law Zhang, in front of a respected leader like you, how dare you have half a sentence of falsehood, what you just said is all true, this is after thinking about it for a long time before deliberately running to the celebrant to say to you, the statement of the next is sincere, the promise to Grandpa Zhang will definitely be fulfilled, in the future, in the next will be when Grandpa Zhang is the top boss, you are at the helm, in the lower to do practical things, in the lower to listen to your command; you make decisions, in the subordinate to help implement, in the major issues, must obey the orders of Grandpa Zhang. "Shen Deyi is very sincere.

"The old man and you are one' The master of the prison, the difference is only that the old man is in charge of the master of ceremonies and supervisors is more than you are in charge of the prison affairs, where does the old man dare to be your boss, as long as you can report to the old man before doing a big thing, as long as you want to help the old man do things within the scope of the authority of the master of ceremonies, you can inform the old man in advance, the old man will be satisfied, the old man only asks you in the future, do not interfere too much, let the old man's subordinates be embarrassed, and, in front of the emperor, you and the old man should say more nice things to each other, so that the emperor can be more assured, if you see that the old man is doing something wrong, point it out in person, the old man will be humbly corrected, so that the two of us can cooperate better!" Zhang Lianying said frankly.

"Grandpa Zhang's words are reasonable, I will definitely listen to you in the future, and I will never interfere in the matters within the scope of the celebrant in the future, and praise Grandpa Zhang in front of the emperor, please rest assured. Shen Deyi said.

"If you can keep such a promise, the old man will naturally regard you as a close friend, and will help you a lot, by the way, just said that the old man asked for you, what do you want from the old man? Zhang Lianying said. (To be continued......)
