Chapter 102 Old Fox Zheng Jie

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After Zhao Xun returned to the delinquent office, he immediately went into the archives and began searching for records about Nanfeng.

Generally speaking, the yamen will keep special records for the Hu people who have lived in Chang'an City for a long time.

The south wind comes from the Western Region, so it will definitely leave traces.

Jia Xingwen and Wangcai also joined the search.

For them, Zhao Xun is now the absolute backbone, and there is nothing wrong with surrounding Zhao Xun.

According to Wei Yanhan, the approximate time of the search was sixty years ago.

This greatly narrows the scope of the search and reduces the search time. Of course, it is not easy to find information about an unknown Hu people from the Western Regions in a vast ocean of documents.

Zhao Xun and the others searched for half a day but still couldn't find it.

strangeness...

Zhao Xun couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so difficult.

Could it be that the records about Nanfeng were deliberately destroyed?

Zhao Xun feels that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

After all, Nanfeng was involved with Princess Xuanhuai, and the two had a child. From the perspective of keeping tabs on the honorable person, it was entirely possible to erase records about Nanfeng.

As a result, it will naturally not be found in the record library.

Of course, there is another possibility. The fire in the archives destroyed the files on Nanfeng.

No matter which one it is, the clue is now broken.

It is somewhat difficult to search for relevant information through the use of large-scale documents.

"Brother Jia, is this the only place where records and documents are stored in Chang'an City?"

Zhao Xun naturally did not give up and actively pursued various possibilities.

"I heard that there is another chamber of the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, but that is the territory of the chamberlain of Zheng Jie. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter."

Jia Xingwen obviously has no hope of bad people entering the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The criminals and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are completely different teams. It can be said that there is no conflict between two wells and there is no intersection between them.

Zheng Jie and Feng Hao may have some contact, but that is a big shot matter.

It is unrealistic for little shrimps like them to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs and check the files.

unless...

"What if I go and ask Mr. Feng to come forward?"

Zhao Xun did not give up and proposed the only possibility.

"Then maybe..."

Jia Xingwen said hesitantly.

"But will Master Feng really agree?"

"It all depends on human effort. Now there is only one way left, so you should give it a try."

Zhao Xun's eyes were firm and he said loudly.

Wangcai nodded frequently at the side.

Although he didn't quite understand it, he thought it made sense.

...

...

Bad Shuai Yamen, second floor.

"What, you want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the files?"

The bad guy Feng Hao was shocked when he heard Zhao Xun's idea.

"Reporting to Mr. Feng, my subordinates have found that there are serious deficiencies in the files in the criminal yamen's archives, and it is possible that key information cannot be accessed. Now, my subordinates have found an important clue related to the case of Princess Xuanhuai. If it goes smoothly,

If we continue to investigate, we may be able to find out the truth."

Zhao Xun knew that if he wanted Feng Hao to stand up for him, he must give Feng Hao enough hope.

Feng Hao is an ultimate egoist and a pragmatist.

He won't do anything without profit.

Instead of playing Tai Chi with Feng Hao there, it would be better to make things clear from the beginning, so that Feng Hao would be more likely to come forward.

As expected, Feng Hao looked a little serious when he heard this.

"You mean to say that as long as you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' archives to investigate the case, you can possibly find out the truth?"

"Yes."

"How sure are you?"

"At least fifty percent."

Zhao Xun's grasp of the degree was very good, giving Feng Hao hope without making any guarantees.

After all, even if the relevant information about Nanfeng is found, it is only a piece of thread. It is hard to say whether the thread can be extracted and the cocoon can be peeled off.

It is difficult for Zhao Xun to give Feng Hao too high expectations. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

And if you don’t have high expectations at the beginning, you may be surprised.

"The Chamber of Internal Affairs and Records is a forbidden area."

Feng Hao's pupils shrank and his eyes were as bright as a torch.

"I can come forward, but the internal chambermaid Zheng Jie may not agree."

Damn it, according to Feng Hao, it seems that the internal records library of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is bigger and more complete than the criminal records library?

Otherwise, why would it be a forbidden area?

But Zhao Xun felt vaguely excited.

He had the pleasure of facing and meeting challenges.

"Master Feng will definitely succeed immediately if he comes forward."

Zhao Xun quickly sent a rainbow fart.

You can wear it a thousand times, but you can never wear it to flatter yourself.

As expected, when Feng Hao heard this, he stroked his beard and said with a half-smile, "You are here waiting for news from me."

...

...

Internal Affairs Ministry, Government Office.

Zheng Jie, the chamberlain supervisor, sat in front of the desk and took out a book from the mountain of documents and opened it to read.

As the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Xianlong, Zheng Jie had great power in the palace. Not only was he in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he also held part of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Secretaries.

This also made him a target of public criticism and the target of criticism in the court.

But Zheng Jie doesn't care.

For a start, none of those noisy civil servants can fight, and no matter how hard they try, they can't get anything done.

Secondly, Zheng Jie understood that Emperor Xianlong wanted this situation to occur.

After all, with Zheng Jie as a target, the civil servants would swarm him without hesitation, insulting and biting him.

If this happens, the situation will become chaotic.

For a king, this is the most desirable situation.

If the ministers stick together and are busy in party disputes, they will not threaten the king.

The more chaotic the court, the happier the king will be.

It was precisely because Zheng Jie saw through this that he was willing to be this target.

All his glory today comes from Emperor Xianlong.

Without Emperor Xianlong, there would be no Zhengjie.

He is an eagle dog of Emperor Xianlong. How can an eagle dog cherish its feathers?

"I'm reporting to my godfather, the bad handsome man Feng Hao wants to see you."

The young eunuch Liu Jin came to Zheng Jie respectfully and said harmoniously.

"Ask him to come in."

Zheng Jie has always had a non-confrontational attitude toward bad people, neither getting too close nor staying too far away.

After all, both were Emperor Xianlong's eagle dogs, and there was a check and balance between them.

If Zheng Jie and Feng Hao were too close and their relationship was too close, the one who would have the most trouble sleeping would be Emperor Xianlong.

But the two of them are colleagues after all, so there is no problem if they meet occasionally.

Feng Hao is also well aware of this principle, so he usually doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall if he has nothing to do. Since he is here, there must be something important.

Soon the young eunuch led Feng Hao into the government office.

When Feng Hao saw Zheng Jie, he cupped his hands and laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry for disturbing you."

The two have different official positions, but they have the same rank.

However, Zheng Jie is older than Feng Hao, so there is no problem for Feng Hao to call Zheng Jie Mr. Zheng.
