Chapter 282 If it’s not double-dealing, it’s hard to avoid trouble.
"Your place is nice. It's much bigger than Jiangdu's."
"It looks big, but it's not as big as it actually is. You have to take out the kitchen. But there's still a backyard you can use."
Three days after Shang Jianxi was arrested, and two days after Zhou Shi's latest meeting in Kowloon Hall, Zhou Shi and Zhao Xuan sat in a private room in Xinfengde Building and talked.
"Aren't you being watched closely? Is it okay to come here like this?" Zhou Shi asked, pouring sweet tea for Zhao Xuan.
"It's okay. The superiors know that the tail can't bite me, so they never send anyone to follow me. Besides, I've always been cautious,"
"Prudent means asking me and someone to deliver a secret letter to the Prime Minister of Dali Temple?"
"If I am not more than 50% sure, I will not let you take risks." Zhao Xuan said while sipping tea leisurely, "Wan Shengwei is an upright official. Although he does not have the ability to judge the three courts, he is enough to interrupt the review.
process, destroying the delicate balance and constraints among the various parties in the court.
"As soon as Wu Zhaokun died, I guessed that the princelings and Yu Dang would confront each other over this matter. As a police officer, I could not escape the conflict, so I sent people privately to collect evidence and witnesses, and handed over an incomplete report in a 'hurry'
File. Once this file falls into the hands of the Eunuch Party, they will think they have an advantage and plan to profit from the collapse of the Yu Party."
Zhou Shi put the tea cup on his plate and said thoughtfully: "This will muddy the water, and the Wu Zhaokun case will become a struggle between three parties instead of two."
"The four parties, the Yu Party, the princelings, and the eunuchs don't want me, the client, to live to compete with them, so I need support, not only from the Ministry of Punishment, but also from all the people in the three judicial departments who are dissatisfied with the eunuchs' arbitrariness, but don't want to involve the parties.
Officials who struggle are commonly known as honest officials."
"Represented by Wanshengwei?"
"Don't forget our two good bosses in the Criminal Department. It is not an ordinary shame for one of his direct subordinates to be convicted. So I took the evidence that was not mentioned in the file and the place where I met Mrs. Wu Zhaokun and got into the prison escort car. I wanted to
I'll try to find a way to give it to the Punishment Department after arriving at the Punishment Department's prison, but the appearance of you and Yu gave me a better choice."
"Now the Ministry of Punishment has completely distanced itself from the matter and will not be implicated in the partisan struggle. I guess Mrs. Wu Zhaokun was silent because of her father's downfall and her husband's murder, so she agreed to testify for you in exchange for the Ministry of Punishment's blessing, right? What a good plan, Mr. Zhao.
." Zhou Shi shook the tea in the tea cup with some gloominess.
"I owe you two one time. Look, doesn't this just make up for it? You asked me to help, and I didn't refuse."
"So, you agreed?"
"Help each other. It's not difficult for me to hide someone in the capital." Zhao Xuan said, putting down the teacup and speaking in a more serious tone, "Can you tell me what that kid committed?"
"He didn't do it, he just ran into some trouble and was being hunted." Zhou Shi said calmly.
"It doesn't sound like a big deal, but does he know how to use your methods? If a fight breaks out, I might not be able to handle it."
"I told him to stay honest and obey your arrangements." Zhou Shi stroked his hair tiredly, "He knows the pros and cons and will not be stupid."
The premise is that Lu Zhengjiu can stay rational... He sighed in his heart.
When he handed Lu Zhengjiu to Zhao Xuan yesterday, the boy almost went crazy from witnessing Bai Jiaxian and his guilt for Sister Jin San.
In order not to violate the corpse carrier's request, he could only hide this guy so that the Kowloon Hall would not find him. Also because of the corpse carrier's restrictions, he could only seek help from Zhao Xuan and other gold medal agents.
"Then let's talk about what you said. Let me confirm that the Kowloon Hall you mentioned can really help us take off the knife hanging from our necks?"
"Actually, they have already helped you. They were the ones who eliminated Shang Jianxi's back-up man."
Zhao Xuan pouted. "Tsk tsk, your information is not that well-informed. Just knowing the date and location of the arrest of Shang Jianxi is enough to make you lose your head."
"Yes, yes, so I guess you don't care that I know more about the party struggle between North Korea and China..."
After Jin Sansao died, Zhou Shi asked Lu Chongjiu to hide in the unopened Fengde Building for a day, while he walked around the capital and asked Dashu to use the surrounding plants and trees to search for Zhao Xuan and others. As a result, he discovered Shang Jianxi's quilt.
At the scene of the arrest, the whereabouts of the Kowloon Hall were also noticed.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to appear in front of the gold medal detectives afterwards and ask for cooperation.
"Shang Jianxi's trump card is not trivial. We can use the methods of the Kowloon Hall to find out its origin. Some of the links may involve court officials. Is this the jurisdiction of your gold medal detective?"
"Oh?" Zhao Xuan tapped her chin, "The gold medal agent has his own intelligence network. He does not need evidence to check people, only a list. Applying for a mission on the grounds of eradicating the remnants of the Eunuch Party is a good way to delay the attack."
"If you don't wipe out all the eunuchs in one day, you will have to spend one day as a gold medal catcher and be safe one day, right?"
"That makes sense. But it will take time for you to figure out the source of this trump card. We are already being put under the guillotine here."
"I have also considered this. If Jiulongtang receives some wrong information, mistakenly breaks into the homes of some important officials of the imperial court, mistakenly does something, and disturbs the important officials of the imperial court..."
"The gold medal detective will naturally come to investigate by mistake." Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, "But in this case, you are equivalent to selling the Jiulong Hall."
"You and I should be careful when doing things. No one will be harmed. In urgent matters, follow the authority."
"Sounds good, but what benefits can you get from it? Why take risks to save this situation?"
"Why, Mr. Zhao can't trust me?"
"You are a businessman. In business, it is about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and it is about knowing each other's background. This matter is not trivial. I have to be careful."
"In this way..." Zhou Shi said seriously, "You also know that I, Zhou Shi, am not a two-faced person. To put it simply, my relationship with the Kowloon Hall is a bit like the relationship between you and your superiors, and it needs to be broken. To put it more complicatedly,
Woolen cloth……"
He scratched his head, pulled out a piece of white hair and blew it gently: "In business, there are not only seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but also grudges and grudges. I have a debt to settle with someone."
He pointed to his feet.
"I haven't paid for this shop yet."
…
Wang Minshen woke up from his dream and sat up from the bed.
In the dream, he was exposed for accepting bribes privately and his entire family was executed.
"It's just a dream. I can't punish a doctor with my strange powers. I'm not the only one who takes bribes. Most of them are supported by others. What are you afraid of..."
He beat his chest to comfort himself and was about to lie down and continue sleeping.
But suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the bedroom door and hit the wall hard.
"who?"
He shouted this subconsciously, but he didn't expect that the answer would come right away——
A figure covered in bright red rose from the ground and floated in the air.
It raised a hand towards Wang Yashen...a bone-white hand!
"ah--"
The next day, Yu Changren leaned on the stone lion outside an antique red door and looked through the secret scroll in his hand.
What it says is:
Wang Yashen, the chief minister of Zhongshu Province, was screaming at night in his house the day before yesterday. He later claimed that he was ill and could not go to court. He ordered the police to investigate the cause quickly.
"Is this right here?" After receiving the confirmation from his subordinates, Yu Changren raised his hand and knocked heavily on the door.
After a while, an older servant opened the door a crack. When he saw the person standing outside the door, his face turned pale.
"Everyone, this is..."
"Gold Medal Detective is investigating the case, open the door!"
