fake prince

hall
Looking up at the gray sky, Ma Shunde felt uneasy, wandered in the corridor for a long time, and sighed: "It's not free to transport a hero!"

I think back then, although I was young, I was able to climb all the way in the court, and became the inner minister for 30 years, and mastered the Imperial City Secretary, but now, it is difficult everywhere, and the situation is getting worse.

"Fate has to be feared, Zhao Piff, is it also in this mood?"

"No, I won't accept my fate. The way of Feng Shui may change my fate."

Ma Shunde didn't believe in Fengshui at first, but Wei Shizu once said that fate lies in people, not land, not to mention Fengshui, but if manpower is exhausted, who wouldn't look for other hope?

Just thinking about it, someone hurried over from the file room. He didn't sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt and reported: "Duke, there are officials above rank five, but there is no name 'Huo Lianqi'!"

No?

Why not!
Ma Shunde was startled, squinted his eyes, and asked gloomyly: "Have you checked the civil and military officials?"

Fanzi kowtowed: "Report to Dugong, we have checked everything. Civilian officials and military officials, who are above the fifth rank, do not have this name. Now they are investigating the fifth rank and below."

Although I haven't finished the investigation, I also know that with Ma Shunde's identity, it is impossible to remember the name of an officer below the fifth rank.

Those who can impress Ma Shunde are basically officials of the fifth rank or above.

Ma Shunde's face darkened, he was able to rise up in the court, he naturally had something special, he didn't believe that he remembered wrongly, how could he not find out?
Could it be that these people did not try their best and missed something?

When Ma Shunde thought about it, he suddenly became angry, and stared gloomyly, and was about to get angry. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and he walked in quickly, and said hurriedly, "Eunuch Hu has brought people in!"

Hu Huaian is here? !

What does this mean, Ma Shunde is very clear, the court is here, the emperor sent someone to question!

However, even if it was an angel, it would be impolite to break in directly without reporting. Ma Shunde was shocked again, and walked out quickly, just as he saw Hu Huai'an leading someone in.

"Ma Shunde, listen to the instructions!" Hu Huai'an stood expressionlessly.

"Slave Ma Shunde is here!" Ma Shunde rushed to meet him, knelt heavily, and fell on the ground.

Hu Huai'an stood there without moving at all, and asked in a cold voice: "You said that the king of Qi has accumulated armored soldiers, do you have any evidence?"

This is Hu Huai'an, the imperial envoy, repeating the emperor's question.

The intention of these words was not good, Ma Shunde's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The servant girl was reported by Gong Qianhu, and someone has been sent to check the facts, and the people involved have been checked!"

After finishing this sentence, he explained all the evidence obtained from the informant in detail.

Hu Huai'an said coldly again: "Quickly check the report!"

"Yes! Ma Shunde, my servant, must investigate this matter quickly!" Ma Shunde immediately responded.

After Hu Huai'an asked, his original expression changed, it was no longer cold just now, but his smiling face was restored, and he directly stepped forward two steps, and quickly helped Ma Shunde who was kneeling.

"Eunuch Ma, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly! Our family didn't mean to embarrass you, it's really a divine destiny!"

"The emperor was furious when he heard the news reported by the Secretary of the Imperial City. This is not a trivial matter. You must quickly investigate this matter and present conclusive evidence. Otherwise, it will be difficult for our family to do business!"

"Our family understands..." Ma Shunde sighed, standing there tremblingly, his waist suddenly bent.

Ma Shunde even felt sad, and this emotion almost made him cry, but if he shed tears at this time, he would be courting death.

He tried his best to suppress this emotion, and his expression quickly settled down. He turned around directly, facing Gong Qianhu and others who also came over, and ordered: "Except for those who are below the fifth rank, quickly check the status of those who have retired from official positions and who are guilty. Officials of the fifth rank and above must not be missed!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Hu Huai'an coming, Gong Qianhu also knew that if he didn't investigate clearly, he didn't know if the people below would be angered, but his own Qianhu must not be left behind.

"I'm going to check it out in person right away!" Gong Qianhu felt that the atmosphere here was really depressing, so he took people to look through the files.

Standing in front of Ma Shunde, the rain fell and he shivered.

Pang Hu Huai'an actually got some rain, but he seemed to be in a good mood, and comforted him: "Eunuch Ma's erudition and memorization, our family has been famous for a long time, I think there will be no mistakes, and there will be good news in a while!"

These words are beautiful, Ma Shunde nodded in his heart: "I don't think our family will remember it wrong."

Hmph, I feel like I've fallen, so it's your turn to stand up?
Those who betray you have already hated Zhao Tianzhong, as long as the emperor's family fades away, it will be your death.

Ma Shunde is sad, it is not this person, he has seen many such people, and they all disappeared soon, but he is not willing to directly conflict, let alone stand here and wait.

"Since the Holy Majesty has an order, how can our family just sit and wait, our family will go and supervise, and see if these people have checked carefully!" Ma Shunde bowed his hands, and led them away.

Now the rain has become much lighter, only the pattering sound. When I walked to the file office, I saw that everyone was busy under the candles.

But compared to just now, it was quieter. After a while, Ma Shunde subconsciously turned his head to look towards the east, and there was already a hint of light.

It will be dawn soon.

"Eunuch Hu, let's go to the front hall and wait!" Ma Shunde said.

Hu Huai'an can wait anywhere, so naturally he nodded with a smile while looking around.

The Imperial City Division can be said to be the hand extended by the Nei Dynasty, and it can even be said to be the only one. Any eunuch is proud to be in charge of this division. Otherwise, even if he has the title of great eunuch, he is just a False.

"Hmph, although this person is in charge, he is incompetent. If it were me, I would naturally not disappoint the emperor." Hu Huai'an looked at the busy and respectful waiter, showing some smiles.

Sitting in the front hall for a while, Ma Shunde suppressed his anxiety, while Hu Huai'an drank tea slowly. Not long after, he heard the first crowing of a rooster, which came from a distance.

Hu Huai'an put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, stood up, and said to Ma Shunde: "Forgive me, Mr. Ma, our family can't wait any longer. We have to go back now and report the truth to the emperor."

Seeing that this person was about to leave, Ma Shunde's eyes darkened, and he almost fell to the ground, leaning on a chair to guard him, clasping his fingers tightly, only then did he get over the force.

He opened his eyes wide, looking at the figure who turned around, and in a daze, he seemed to see a similar picture.

In that scene, the person who is the same character as Hu Huai'an, isn't he his former self?

Ma Shunde found that he started to remember again.

Obviously he is not very old, but recently he can't help but recall the past, the days when he competed with Zhao Bingzhong.

He remembered that day, he also looked down at Zhao Bingzhong like this.

Was Zhao Bingzhong in the same mood and situation at that time?

Just then, someone hurried in.

Report to Ma Shunde: "Duke, I found it!"

found it? !

This sound made Hu Huai'an's footsteps stop.

Ma Shunde was both surprised and happy. Of course, surprise is naturally greater than joy. At this point, there is joy, but how much can there be?

He immediately took over the files handed over, and Ma Shunde was really surprised this time.

What surprised him was that although this was indeed Huo Lianqi's file, it only had the official position and files of Qianhu, but there was no information about the guards he belonged to.

Strange, did the person who made the file miss it?

Ma Shunde frowned, this filer should really hit [-] boards!
Isn't this causing him trouble? !

But it's better to find this file than to find nothing at all.

Now that he has this file, he has reason to go to see the emperor with him.

As long as you see the emperor and adapt to the situation in front of the emperor, you may be able to avoid this catastrophe.

Thinking of this, he stuffed the file into his sleeve, and said to Hu Huai'an: "Our family will enter the palace with you, and report to the emperor."
