Wei Zhongxian slowly walked out of the Qianqing Palace, his face particularly gloomy.
The emperor's whole body was so swollen that he could hardly get out of bed. He asked the imperial doctor, who told him that the emperor could survive for up to twenty days.
Twenty days...
There is not much time left for him, but King Xin...is it really reliable?
This young prince doesn't even want to see him. "It's inconvenient not to be a vassal yet" are all excuses. If you really want to see him, wouldn't it be easy to avoid being noticed?
"Father!"
A woman dressed as a bodyguard came forward and put a bright red cloak on Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian came to his senses and turned around and asked, "Wei Ting, is there any news about what happened yesterday?"
This woman was his adopted daughter who had been raised by him. She had learned martial arts since she was a child. The five hundred little eunuchs who were orphans and led by her were Wei Zhongxian's most trusted trump card.
Wei Ting carefully supported Wei Zhongxian and said in a low voice: "Father, my child followed Lu Wenzhao yesterday and found him entering the house next to Prince Xin's Mansion. There was something strange about the guards in Prince Xin's Mansion last night, and then Zhou Tai, the commander of the guards in Prince Xin's Mansion, was alone. Go out and meet Lu Wenzhao and a woman in Beigao Lane."
After a pause, Wei Ting explained: "Lu Wenzhao and the woman are both masters. The child did not dare to follow too closely, so it was not clear what they talked about in the alley. Later, Lu Wenzhao seemed to notice and went out alone. He was patrolling the alley, and the boy was afraid that he would be found, so he had to retreat first."
Wei Zhongxian listened expressionlessly and walked silently in the corridor. Along the way, the eunuchs and maids he met all knelt down and touched their heads to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
When they reached the Imperial Garden, Wei Zhongxian suddenly stopped and asked, "Lu Wenzhao, did you go to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen today?"
"I went there yesterday," Wei Ting said. "With the name of godfather, no one dared not to give him face. This morning, he summoned more than 100 people from Fusi, Beizhen, to order their hair. No one dared to fail to do so." .”
"Uh-huh!" Wei Zhongxian seemed to be sarcastic, and smiled incredulously, "He is a smart man. He knows how to take advantage of the east wind as early as possible."
Wei Zhongxian turned back and looked at Wei Ting: "Find an opportunity and bring this Zhou Tai for me to see. Keep a low profile."
Wei Ting's eyes flashed and he said: "Father, do you think this Lu Wenzhao is a ghost?"
Wei Zhongxian walked to a willow tree, picked off a willow leaf, squinted his eyes and sneered: "In this world, who doesn't have something evil in their heart? As for what it is..."
He paused, then turned around and said, "It depends on whether you can bring the person back."
Wei Ting cupped his hands and said, "Yes, foster father!"
In the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen, He Xie was sitting at the top of the table. Everyone below him looked solemn, and no one dared to be disrespectful at all.
He Xie, the new official, did not even throw a spark when he took office, because these Jin Yiwei were so knowledgeable.
As soon as He Xie arrived, he first received a lot of gifts, including gold, silver, antiques, and even weapons and real estate. Everyone gave them.
At 1:00 p.m., no one was absent. Everyone was very respectful and addressed themselves as the governor.
As soon as He Xie said a few words, these people immediately knelt on the ground to show their loyalty, as if they wanted to kill him.
He Xie promoted Shen Lian to the rank of Qianhu, Lu Jianxing to the rank of Hundred, and the officials who followed him into prison yesterday were promoted to one level. No one present raised any objections.
He Xie, the governor, was in the limelight for a while.
But he knew very well in his heart that if he really thought that he could conquer everyone with his domineering aura, then he would be a huge fool!
Who are these people?
These are all bureaucrats who treated him as adults. Now they treat him respectfully, but if they really expect these people to do anything for him, they are definitely acting in a negative way, being passive and sabotaging, let alone working hard for him.
The stage of Jinyiwei is where you sing and I appear. He Xie is sure that until he, Tian Ergeng, and Xu Xianchun can't completely decide the winner, he can't count on any of these people.
Of course, except for Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and his old team, because these people have been forcibly tied to his chariot by him, they will all be prosperous and suffer losses. Once He Xie is unlucky, they will not end well, so they I sincerely support He Xie.
They are the only ones. After all, He Xie's qualifications are too low. He is a famous person right now, but how long he can be famous, who can say?
A conference that was originally intended to establish authority ended rather anticlimactically.
He Xie left Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and others alone, and felt quite emotional. Fortunately, he had always developed a thoughtful and cautious character when encountering problems. Just look at these passers-by who couldn't even name them. They are all very scheming. If he really regards himself as the protagonist of destiny and is arrogant, he may die worse than Zhao Si'er's father.
"Shen Lian is ashamed, he is not worthy of being promoted!" While He Xie was thinking, Shen Lian below suddenly felt ashamed and fell to his knees.
Yesterday, he backed down three times and chose to be wise to protect himself. But today, He Xie promoted him to Beimen Qianhu regardless of the previous grudges. Such repaying evil with kindness made him feel no guilt.
He Xie stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "Brothers, you and I don't have to be like this."
He turned around and said to Lu Jianxing and others: "Shen Qianhu saved my life. You must assist him well in the future."
Lu Jianxing and others looked at Shen Lian with envious eyes, and said in unison: "I will do my best to assist Shen Qianhu in this humble position, and I will never have any second thoughts!"
"Very good!" He Xie nodded. Seeing that Shen Lian wanted to speak, he stopped him and said, "I have something to leave to you."
Shen Lian was startled and said hurriedly: "My lord, just tell me!"
He Xie said: "After the Guo Zhen case, the Dongchang took over the case library. Yesterday, I and the factory manager reached an agreement. The case library is still guarded by our Beizhen Fu Division. You go and hand it over and seal the warehouse first." Already."
Shen Lian hesitated slightly and asked, "Sir, do you have the factory official's handwriting?"
He Xie shook his head: "Just go and take over. If the people from Dongchang stop you, just fight them out!"
Shen Lian was startled and looked up at He Xie, only to see that He Xie was not joking. He gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said, "I'm in a humble position, just follow my orders!"
He Xie smiled, Dongchang had always been riding on Jin Yiwei's head, and now Shen Lian dared to take on this job, and he would live up to his hard work yesterday.
This protagonist has been temporarily conquered.
Ding Baiying led a delicate-looking woman in a blue shirt and strode towards Prince Xin's Mansion. The guards at the door immediately stopped her.
Ding Baiying frowned. These guards all recognized her, but now they blocked her from entering. It seemed that King Xin had completely lost trust in his senior brother.
She looked at the guard in front of her coldly and said: "Go and report to the prince and ask Miss Zhou to see you!"
A guard bravely said: "Commander Ding, this girl can go in, but you can't go in. Don't make things difficult for us."
Ding Baiying frowned and was about to have a seizure, but then Zhou Tai came out.
"Let them in." Zhou Tai said in a deep voice with a dark face.
"But Commander Zhou, the prince specifically ordered..."
"If the prince is to blame, I will take responsibility for it!" Zhou Tai yelled with eyes wide open, and the guard immediately fell silent and stepped aside.
Zhou Tai personally led the two girls inside. When they reached the deserted front yard, Zhou Tai's eyes flashed with anger, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you bring her here? Don't you know what the prince is thinking?"
