"Okay! Okay!" Although Zhou Quan said that the position of general manager would most likely fall to him, when the imperial decree came down, he still couldn't help but be filled with joy. From now on, this smile has never stopped.
"The General Manager has always been personally involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is the most careful. With you in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it will definitely be better than before." The person who said this was Lin Changshou, who was responsible for the cats, dogs and other special care for the masters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Treat pets.
Zhou Quan smiled and said: "No way, Manager Lin has said what he said, how can I compare to Manager Qian?"
"Chief Qian was really good before, but as he got older, he lacked energy. If you hadn't been there to help, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have been in chaos." Another steward said flatteringly, this is the reality in the palace, and you are here.
At that time, the people below were flattering in every possible way and had all kinds of nice things to say, but once they were no longer in their position, it would be good if they didn't add insult to injury.
Zhou Quan was about to speak when a cold snort suddenly came from outside the crowd. He turned around and saw Zhang Quan standing there with a gloomy expression on his face, "Don't you all have to do anything? You can gather around here and chat when you have time?"
Lin Changshou's eyes flashed with disdain. This Zhang Quan clearly didn't win the position of general manager, so he couldn't see them like this. However, Zhang Quan was the deputy general manager after all, and he couldn't give him any face. He said: "I can wait.
I know that Manager Zhou has been promoted, so I’m here to congratulate you. I’ll get to work later.”
Zhang Quan glanced at him and said coldly: "Empress Shenbi came to urge me just now and said that the lion dog mentioned two days ago has not been sent yet. If you don't plan to send it, I will do it for you.
Go back to Concubine Shen."
When Lin Changshou heard this, he said helplessly: "I'm going to prepare right now." As soon as he left, the others were afraid that Zhang Quan would bring bad luck to them, so they also left separately. Only Zheng Jiu and Xiao Chengzi were left.
Zhang Quan ignored them and walked straight to Zhou Shen. After staring for a long time, he slowly raised his hands and said word by word: "Congratulations to Manager Zhou, congratulations to Manager Zhou!"
Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are so polite. I will ask Mr. Zhang to help me a lot in the future, and together we can complete the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Zhang Quanpi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is very capable, so why do you need my help? I will be able to relax with Mr. Zhou in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future."
"I know this matter makes Manager Zhang a little unhappy, but..." Before Zhou Quan could finish speaking, Zhang Quan said: "Manager Zhou, don't be joking. You were personally promoted by the Empress. Now even the Manager
Maybe, how dare I, a mere deputy general manager, be unhappy. I came in a hurry today and did not prepare any gifts. I will prepare a big gift to congratulate General Manager Zhou someday."
Zhou Quan also knew that his jealousy towards him could not be resolved with a few words, so he said no more and said: "Manager Zhang has his heart."
After Zhang Quan left, Xiao Chengzi spat: "This Zhang Quan is getting more and more annoying the more I look at him. It's now this time. Can't you still see the situation clearly?"
Zheng Jiu said from the side: "It's not that he can't see clearly, but he's not willing to accept it. He worked a lot for the position of general manager, but in the end it still fell to the general manager. If it were you, you wouldn't be reconciled."
Xiao Chengzi hummed and said: "No matter how unwilling he is, the position of general manager will not belong to him. Speaking of which, he is already very old. Doesn't he even have this bit of self-awareness?"
Zhou Quan shouted softly: "Okay, don't talk about this. In short, when you see him, you should treat him politely and don't let him find any mistakes. Although the position of general manager is good-looking, it is not that easy to sit in."
Although Xiao Chengzi was a little disapproving, he still nodded. Seeing this, Zhou Quan said again: "Okay, you all go to work. Zheng Jiu will stay for a while. I have some instructions."
After Xiao Chengzi and Bai San left, Zheng Jiu asked doubtfully: "I wonder if the manager has any other instructions?"
Zhou Quan motioned for him to sit down and said: "I went to see the master a few days ago and promised that the master would get rid of Wei Yao as soon as possible."
Zheng Jiu's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "I've been thinking of ideas these days, but we can't go in and out of Yongshou Palace, and it's really inconvenient, so..." He lowered his head and said: "Please give me a few more days, manager."
Zhou Quan raised his hand and said: "That's not what I meant. In fact, I have already thought of a way, but I still need some things." After a pause, he said: "Do you still remember what happened to Princess Changle?"
Zheng Jiu glanced at him doubtfully and said: "Of course I know that the late queen was jealous and used butterflies to murder Princess Changle. Why did the manager suddenly ask about this?"
Zhou Quan did not answer his words, but said: "The reason why butterflies go crazy is because they smell the fragrance of lily of the valley, and this is what Prince He found out."
Zheng Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, but what does this have to do with what Wei promised?"
"We cannot enter or leave the Yongshou Palace, but crows are not subject to this restriction. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, these crows have been sacred crows. They can go wherever they want. No one in the palace dares to drive them away. I have asked Xiao Chengzi to signal the crow feeder
Palace people, try to lure the crow to Yongshou Palace within ten days."
Zheng Jiu still couldn't figure it out and asked: "So what?"
Zhou Quan smiled slightly and said in the face of Zheng Jiu's doubtful eyes: "The lily of the valley fragrance can make butterflies go crazy. If crows smell it, the same thing will most likely happen."
Zheng Jiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then tentatively said: "The manager wants the crows to go crazy and attack Wei Yaosheng. With all due respect, although the crow attack is a bit troublesome, it will not kill Wei Yaosheng, as long as she hides in the house and closes the doors and windows.
, Manager, your plan has failed, so... I don’t think it’s appropriate, let’s think of other ways.”
"This alone is not enough, but what if the crow's wings are full of poison?"
"This..." Zheng Jiu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It still won't work. No matter how poisonous the medicine is, you have to take it. Unless it's such a coincidence that the crow's wings touch Wei Xuanying's mouth, but the chance is too low."
Zhou Quan said with a strange smile: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. As long as you grasp the timing well, you can naturally make Wei promise to take the poison willingly."
Zheng Jiu still couldn't understand what he said, so he frowned and said, "Can you ask the manager to make it clear?"
Zhou Quan stopped pretending and told Zheng Jiu about the plan in his mind. After listening to it, the latter thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "Although the plan of the manager is a bit risky, it can indeed be tried. Even if it is traced afterwards, it will be impossible."
They can’t be traced to us.”
"If you want to implement this plan, you must have lily of the valley fragrance, so I want you to go see Prince He and see if he still has lily of the valley fragrance there. If not..." Zhou Quan rubbed his hands and thought for a while.
He said: "Let's see if there is any way to get some spices with similar effects. If we miss this time, I don't know how long we will have to wait. For the empress, Wei promised to be alive will always be a disaster."
