"Whose mansion is around?" Li Xingchen was slightly startled. It was obvious that Shen Jungao wanted to use this method to narrow the scope of the investigation as much as possible, so as to determine what other back-ups Chen Shuling had in the capital.
After recalling it carefully, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "At that time, someone must have just passed Lord Zhou Quezhou's residence."
"Zhou Que?" Shen Jun's face changed as he ascended, while Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie also stood up suddenly. "Are you sure it's Zhou Que?"
Li Xingchen took a deep breath: "That's right."
This week is indeed none other than the concubine of the crown prince. The so-called concubine means an attendant, which is somewhat similar to the secretary-general of later generations. Zhou Que is the concubine of the prince Chen Shubao. He is in charge of all transactions inside and outside the East Palace. He can It is said that Chen Shubao relied on his left and right arms.
If something goes wrong with Zhou Zhen, then there will be nothing to fight about
"But it's not necessarily possible that he came out of Mr. Zhou's residence. After all, it's not impossible to walk out of Gutong Lane and pass Mr. Zhou's residence." Li Xingchen said hurriedly, "If something really goes wrong with Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid We simply can’t hold on until now.”
"That's right." Shen Jungao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "I am too impatient."
If Zhou Que's heart is towards Chen Shuling, how can they still mobilize their strength now?
Immediately, Shen Jungao looked outside the house and counted in detail: "There should be four or five other houses in the direction of Lord Zhou's residence toward the Royal Street. Most of them are the residences of idle princes. These people have no power and no name. They only have the money accumulated by their ancestors. With their family background, the governor of Yangzhou should not choose them, but there is one other person..."
"Who?" Pei Zilie asked in surprise.
With a low sigh, Shen Jungao said: "I will serve as the Minister of Huangmen and the great author Lu Qiong."
"Master Lu?" This time, not only Pei Zilie, but also Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian looked at each other and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although the servant of Huangmen is just a "servant", he is not that servant.
The main task of Huangmen Shilang is to convey His Majesty's edicts and organize memorials. In short, all His Majesty's orders must be conveyed through the head of Lu Qiong, and accordingly, all the following memorials are also passed on by him.
At the same time, the Minister Huangmen was responsible for classifying memorials and edicts, and then sending or distributing them to different places.
Although this is not a first-class position, it is a very important one. It is like the connection point between His Majesty and the imperial court. If there is a problem with this connection point, the entire Nanchen imperial court will be in turmoil.
"Find Lu Qiong... Could it be that the governor of Yangzhou is so bold that he wants to directly attack the edict?" Shen Jungao's face became darker and darker, and he obviously had some ominous predictions.
"Master Lu has always been smart and aloof, and he has rarely been heard of forming cliques," Pei Zilie said thoughtfully, "How can it be so easy for the governor of Yangzhou to win over Master Lu?"
Li Xingchen also nodded slightly. Given such an important position as the Minister of Huangmen, Chen Xu would definitely be more careful when selecting people. If Lu Qiong had no ability and loyalty, she would definitely not sit in this position.
But having said that, it was this position that attracted the attention of the Yangzhou governor. Shen Jungao's voice became colder: "Hu Hai tampered with the edict with the help of Zhao Gao and Li Si, who can guarantee that Lu Qiong will not Help the governor of Yangzhou?"
Shen Jungao's words were already a bit heartbreaking, but Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others didn't care so much at this time. After all, what Shen Jungao said was what they thought.
Li Xingchen stood up and paced back and forth. At this time, he was not in the mood to sit still on the Diaoyutai: "Actually, whether it is Mr. Zhou Quezhou or Mr. Lu Qionglu, it is just a guess on our part. They have suspicions, but
This may not necessarily be the target of the Yangzhou governor. More importantly, the fact that Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng came to visit them does this mean that they have changed their stance?"
"I have an acquaintance with Mr. Zhou Que Zhou. This man is upright and understands the principle of doing his duty well. Therefore, even if someone tries to persuade him, as the bastard among the princes, it is unlikely that he will do anything to betray the princes.
Maybe," Shen Jungao said slowly while thinking about it, "but this Lu Qiong is unknown."
Li Xingchen nodded: "Now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, we went to visit Sikong, Pei Shangshu and Xiaomu Gong. In fact, we have already taken care of the enemy. Today, Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng came out. This snake is about to come out of its hole."
"Shizhong, what do you mean?" Xiao Shilian was startled.
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, "Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng suffered the failure of Stone Mountain last time, and now they are still outside. What does this mean?"
"It shows that the two of them are still very important to the governor of Yangzhou." Pei Zilie already understood.
"So before we were worried that the two of them were not qualified enough, now it seems that it is time to lure the snake out of the hole." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Without further delay, let's go find these two princes, Lu Qiong and Zhou.
No matter what, the easiest thing is to learn the truth from the two of them."
Shen Jungao frowned slightly: "But these are two princes after all, you..."
"To be precise, he is a prince who has committed two crimes." Li Xingchen sneered, "Mr. Shen thinks, even if the incident really happens, who will your Majesty believe?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Jungao nodded: "But you still have to be extremely careful and don't involve the prince in this matter."
"What Mr. Shen said is ridiculous," Pei Zilie straightened the sword that was always on his waist and glanced at Shen Jungao, "Now that the prince wants to stay out of the matter, is it too late? Even if we agree, I'm afraid... Yangzhou Governor
I wouldn’t agree either.”
In fact, Pei Zilie hasn't said it yet, so I'm afraid His Majesty won't agree.
Shen Jungao's expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he sighed deeply: "Be careful."
"Juniors understand propriety." Li Xingchen responded.

Looking at his father sitting at the desk, Xu Jian carefully closed the study door and walked over quickly: "Dad, what do you want to call me?"
Xu Ling slowly raised his head and looked at his son. He was silent for a moment and pointed at the article on the table: "Take a look for yourself and see what this article looks like."
In response, Xu Jian just glanced at it, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "This article can be regarded as an excellent work."
Xu Ling nodded, reached out and gently touched the article, and murmured: "This Li Xingchen is really unexpected. Originally I thought I could find his weaknesses, even if the article is not well written, but now I see
Come on, this person is very perfect, at least he wraps himself up perfectly..."
"Li Xingchen? Also coming to the house today is Mr. Li, who won the first prize in the Poetry Society?" Xu Jian had a strange look on his face.
"Why, he came over to ask someone for advice on how to write articles." Xu Ling said lightly, and then remembered something, "Not only Li Xingchen came to the house today, but His Royal Highnesses Lechang and Ningyuan also came here, and you were
