"So, what about the secret?" asked the cold ferret anxiously.

"How can there be a secret, you think, how can the secret passed down by the two Xie families be publicly written in the family tree? Jia Shaohui said shrewdly.

"It's a pity, it seems that the brothers have to go through a lot of trouble again!" Leng Ferret was also very strict in the face of such heavy news, and no longer "grinned" and laughed.

"Brother Leng went back to report to the head of Zhou, and asked the head of the family to plan well with Feng Zhenyuan's military division to find out the secret, and I will continue to communicate with Gongzi Xie to get new information. Jia Shaohui said.

"The head of the family really has a good eye for treasures, it is indeed a wise move to help you get promoted and invite you to join the Yuanshan faction, with your rare talent, I admire you more and more!

It turned out that Jia Shaohui went to Beijing to take the exam, and he was funded by Jia Tianming, the head of the Yuanshan faction, at that time, because the two had the same surname and were considered to have a clan relationship, so Jia Tianming supported him.

Later, Jia Shaohui entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor, Jia Tianming felt that he was a smart person and a usable talent, so he bought the Beijing official, spent a lot of money to move him from the sixth grade to the fifth grade, and transferred him to Quanzhou Tongzhi, in order to be grateful, but also afraid of Jia Tianming's power, and later Jia Shaohui joined the Yuanshan faction, wearing the official uniform of the same governor, listening to all kinds of news for Jia Tianming, and using the power of officialdom to expand the power of the Yuanshan faction, of course, Jia Shaohui also got a rich return from Jia Tianming, and lived a luxurious life that ordinary officials did not have。

Yang Feiyang thought: "I have been in Xie Mansion for more than ten years, and I don't know such a secret thing, he Jia Shaohui has only been in Xie Mansion for half a day, and he has obtained such secret information, this person is really powerful, wearing two skins of an elegant scholar and a fellow governor's uniform, very deceptive, fortunately, Master Xie is wise, send me to investigate, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"Brother Jia, this is the silver that the head asked me to bring you, the head said that you need silver for the activities of the Yuanshan faction, you are a meritorious man, come, Lao Leng respects you a glass, dry!" Seeing that they stopped talking and turned to drinking and eating, Yang Feiyang was afraid of being discovered, so he left.

Yang Feiyang rushed back to Xie's mansion and saw Xie Jingxi in the study, Master Xie was drinking tea with Lin Hexuan, he went in to say hello, his face showed an excited expression, but he didn't speak, Xie Jingxi knew that he had something to say, so he said: "Feiyang is back, has there been any progress in the matter?" Mr. Lin is his own person, there is no need to avoid it, you can tell me what the situation is!"

Yang Feiyang said very excitedly: "Master, Mr. Lin, the little detective has heard extremely important news!"

"Sit down, have a cup of tea, and speak slowly. Xie Jingxi said.

"Master, it's terrible, that Tongzhi Jia Shaohui is a wolf in sheep's clothing, the little one followed him to the tavern, he met with a person called the smiling tiger Leng Ferret of the 'Yuanshan faction', he came to the mansion for a banquet last time, and the discussion with the son about poetry was fake, this person is ostensibly knowledgeable, Elegant and elegant, in fact, very insidious, he won the favor of the son, the son trusted him too much, led him to the underground study of the garden building, where he saw a genealogical draft in a box, knew what secrets and secrets, and wrote it down silently, and handed it to the smiling tiger, this person wearing the official uniform of the same governor, it turned out that the head of the family surnamed Zhou helped him to promote the official, and absorbed him into the gang, this is a bad guy!" Yang Feiyang said excitedly.

Xie Jingxi's face was grim, and Lin Hexuan also showed a look of surprise.

"Wende is not deeply involved in the world, and he has no experience in the rivers and lakes, so he was deceived by this insidious person and leaked such important news, which I didn't expect!" Xie Jingxi said with some hesitation.

"Please forgive me, this is the fault of the old man, the old man thinks that he is the same knowledge, and he is polite, so that the son will have nothing to do with him, this person has even deceived the old man, you can't blame the son, please punish the adult!" Lin Hexuan rarely called himself "under the bottom", this time he felt that it was a dereliction of duty.

"It's happened, you don't have to blame yourself, even I didn't expect him to be Jia Tianming's person, Wende's side, don't sue him for the time being, if the person surnamed Jia comes again, or let Wende associate with him like the original, we will take care of it, I will give Wende some warnings." It seems that I have to sort out the study room downstairs, and I am also negligent about the genealogy draft!" Xie Jingxi said.

"The secret that Jia Shaohui discovered has spread to Jingyuan Mountain, Jia Tianming is bound to do his best to pursue the secret book by unscrupulous means, this person has great wolf ambitions, we have to guard against it!" Lin Hexuan said.

"That's right, it seems that the rivers and lakes are going to have storms again!" Xie Jingxi said.

"Mr. Lin, you continue to take care of Wende, and support Yuntian to keep an eye on all parts of the mansion; Feiyang, you continue to check on the deputy chief envoy Peng Haoze, this person is also very suspicious, and even more unusual, you must be careful; I will rearrange all parts of the mansion, and also contact friends from all sides, and deal with various situations carefully. Xie Jingxi made a rough division of labor.

The next day, Yang Feiyang went to the Quanzhou seashore and walked into the Quanzhou Shipbuilding Division located in the eastern area of the seaside, which is the government of the imperial court in Quanzhou to manage shipbuilding.

Yang Feiyang explained to the guard at the door that it was from the Xie Mansion, and he was going to visit the Lord Envoy of the Ship Division, and one of the guards led him to the office of the Lord Envoy on the second floor, the office was very large, divided into two rooms, the front one put a lot of ship models, and the inside was a place for office and guests.

Yang Feiyang walked into the room, and Ke Junnan, the chief envoy of the Quanzhou Shipping Division, stood up to greet him.

Yang Feiyang said: "Master Xie Jingxi ordered the little one to come to visit the Lord Envoy, and I want to ask the Lord Envoy for help over a small matter!"

"Come, please sit down and talk!" Ke Junnan said.

Among the officials above the fifth grade in Quanzhou Mansion, Ke Junnan and Xie Jingxi have the best relationship and can be talked about the most, although Xie Jingxi's official position is higher than Ke Junnan, but he has always treated Ke Junnan very cordially and sincerely, so when he saw someone from Xie Mansion, Ke Junnan treated him very warmly.

In Yang Feiyang's view, the five-grade official in front of him has no official frame, very simple, in front of him, Yang Feiyang felt very relaxed, he said: "The place where Lord Ke works is very different from other adults' office, there is so much to cross the boat, it's so fun!"

"I am in charge of shipbuilding, and of course it is different from other yamen, so it is natural that there must be a model of a ship here, otherwise how can we manage shipbuilding? Didn't those soldiers who fought in the war say, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'? We who build ships must also understand that ships can build good ships. Ke Junnan said.

"Your Excellency, you are really powerful, you are a great official and an expert in shipbuilding, no wonder this building of yours is very similar to a ship, with sails on top, unlike other yamen buildings, it is really interesting. Yang Feiyang said.

"There is indeed a sign of a ship in this building, which shows that we are in charge of shipbuilding, and we are also a yamen with a close relationship with technology, and building a good ship is the most important thing!" said Ke Junnan.

"You manage such a large organization, far away near the port, there are so many ships being built, you must be busy, can you be busy?" Yang Feiyang said with concern.

"There are also some offices below that are in charge of specific things, such as design, construction, materials, dockyards, ports, and surveys, and above, in addition to me, there is a deputy chief Peng Haoze. Ke Junnan said.

"It's the last time I went to Xie Mansion and was a big drinker, right? Yang Feiyang hurriedly grasped the topic.

"Vice Envoy Peng was a little drunk that day, he was in charge of logistics management and other affairs, not in charge of shipbuilding technology, he was more relaxed, we who were in charge of technology generally don't drink much, if we don't do things carefully, something big will happen. Ke Junnan said.

"You two adults are so busy, do you sometimes need to live in the office building?" Yang Feiyang asked with pretending to be concerned.

"I'm sometimes here, sometimes I'm busy with technical things at night, but Master Peng is more relaxed, he lives in Nanjun Lane, which is the aristocratic district of Quanzhou, and he pays attention to the taste of life! He lives far away from here, and rarely stays in this building at night. ”

Yang Feiyang could see that Ke Junnan was a little dissatisfied with Peng Haoze.

"In this way, you will work harder, you need to deal with a lot of things alone, I really admire you!" Yang Feiyang said, "It seems that you must be very busy, and you will ask too much when you are happy, please forgive me!"

"It's okay, it's okay to communicate, you're very talkative, very studious, not bad! What did Master Xie explain to you?" Ke Junnan asked.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Master Xie wants to write a book or something, he wants to ask you for a picture album of Quanzhou Port, he wants to refer to it, he said that you are an expert in this area, there must be this picture, please help Master Ke!" Yang Feiyang explained his intentions

"This is a trivial matter, I will let someone fetch it for you, you go back and say hello to your master for me!" After Ke Junnan finished speaking, he asked people to pick up the Quanzhou Port album.

Yang Feiyang took the album, said goodbye to Ke Junnan, and happily left the Ship Division's office, his goal was achieved, and he already roughly knew where Peng Haoze lived.

In the next few days, Yang Feiyang has been disguised as a young man selling rock sugar gourds, and has been selling in Nanjun Lane near East Street since Shen Shi, waiting for Peng Haoze's trace to appear, and at sunset on the third day, he saw Peng Haoze appear in Nanjun Lane, and he quietly followed behind, watching him walk into a luxurious small building.
