Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 287

"Grandpa, general, what do you mean...?" Wei Qing and Zi Lan looked at each other, "Is the commander really sick?"

"This...can't be said!" Shen Cha waved her hand, looking at Shen Haolin's empty tea bowl, "Brother, go take a bath first, I still have something to say to the two of them." As she spoke, she stood up and walked After entering the room, after a while, he came out with Shen Haolin's clothes in his arms, and handed the clothes to Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, "You two go prepare hot water for the Duke."

"Yes!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu took the clothes, bowed slightly to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, turned and left.

"I'm going to take a bath." Shen Haolin stood up, walked to Shen Cha's side, reached out and pinched her cheek, "Let's chat!"

Shen Cha nodded, and personally sent Shen Haolin out of the door. When he turned around, he saw Wei Qing and Zi Lan both heaving a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Cha came back and sat down again, looking at them both curiously, "So nervous?"

"Boss, I haven't seen you for many years. The grandpa's aura is really getting stronger and stronger. The two of us are overwhelmed by him, and we can hardly breathe." Zilan patted her small chest, "Although He was smiling, but still terrified."

"Brother, why is he as scary as you said? He's obviously very amiable." Shen Cha shook his head in disapproval, "Could it be that he is scaring you all by His Majesty? It's too exaggerated, it's not good." She tapped on the table lightly, "Come on, let's talk about the serious business, and temporarily put aside the cruel Duke in your mind." She picked up the previous envelope, pulled out the thick stack of papers inside, and spread it between Wei Qing and In front of Zilan, "Tell me, what is going on, why is Your Majesty suddenly going to investigate the secret work in Xijing?"

"Boss, this is not caused by the old case of the Xia family, instead of..." Wei Qing sighed, "Those guys who replaced Master Xuehou's uncle and aunt, although they are all dead, the news we got from them From the looks of it, there are indeed Jin Guo's eyeliners in Beijing. However, without an exact list, we can only cast a net and find a needle in a haystack."

"The commander-in-chief said before that the list at the beginning was much more streamlined than the current one, and the ones that have been streamlined have already been determined to have nothing to do with foreign races?"

"Yes, the crimes of those people are basically bullying, bullying men and women, extortion, collusion between officials and businessmen, etc., and have nothing to do with foreigners. Your Majesty is secretly investigating foreigners under the banner of investigating these people. The secret work placed in Xijing." Wei Qing pointed to the thick stack of papers, "Investigation comes and goes, and finally these people are left. It's just that these people have been in a dormant state all the time. If it weren't for the brothers in Beijing We, the patrol battalion and the brothers of the imperial army are watching closely, smelling something unusual from the clues, and we will not catch them."

"I just flipped through it casually and glanced roughly. Since they haven't moved, why did you follow them?" Shen Cha picked up the top piece of paper, "There are some people here I'm not young anymore, I should have arrived in Xijing a long time ago, I've been safe and sound for so many years, I haven't been discovered, and I showed my feet in just a few days, there must be a reason?"

"It's because the diplomatic missions from all over the world gathered in the capital." Wei Qing sighed, "Not only we and the Liao Kingdom are concerned about the internal struggles of the Jin Kingdom, but other foreign nations are also paying close attention to it, probably... they also want to get something out of it." Take a share."

"Duan family? Huihe? Those guys from Tubo?" Seeing Weiqing and Zilan nodding, Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "So, they are all in contact with their respective agents, hoping to get some useful news. Unfortunately, this is useful I didn’t get the news, but you found the trace.” She picked up the teacup and took a sip, “I made an agreement with the commander-in-chief, after I read it these few days, I will give him a clear answer. Don't worry about it. After remembering, tell Your Majesty what I said, don't move these people for now, it's still useful to keep them."

"Yes." Weiqing and Zilan agreed in unison, "Boss, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave first."

"Wait a minute first." Shen Cha reached out his hand to stop the two people, "Apart from investigating the details, what other things happened in Beijing?"

"Then it's nothing." Wei Qing shook her head, "No matter how big the matter is, it's nothing more than the matter of Prince Yihe's mansion. Everyone's attention is focused on them. Those censors and Hanlin are finally After catching a major event, he wrote endless letters to His Majesty, saying that he would strictly investigate the nobles, so as not to have a second Prince Yihe Mansion, and even dug out the old affairs of the Marquis Wuding Mansion, forcing His Majesty to investigate all the nobles, even ...they strongly advocate the investigation of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the Shen Family Army, and the generals and frontier troops guarding the other three borders."

"A centipede is dead but not stiff." Shen Haolin pushed the door in after taking a bath, and said with a sneer, "The late Emperor and His Majesty valued martial arts over culture, and military generals suppressed civil officials everywhere. Let them catch the opportunity, and they will be revived." Taking off the cloak outside, Shen Haolin sat back beside Shen Cha and took the hand stove she handed over, "Song Jue never mentioned these things to us, Cha'er, he Did I tell you?"

"No." Shen Cha shook his head, "Probably he solved it himself. Song Jue is much better at dealing with those guys who can't lift their shoulders and hands. Although the two prime ministers and the big men in the pavilion He is the head of civil servants, but many of the clan's children fought bravely at the border. From them, no one will be allowed to stretch their hands too far. What's more..."

"It's not easy to be an official in Beijing!" Shen Haolin poured himself a cup of tea and said with a sneer, "The expenditure in Beijing is huge, and the cost of human relations is even more, and the monthly salary is not forbidden at all, so they want to be in Beijing. Zhong Songsong needs to use his brains to earn some pocket money to live quickly. Although Song Jue doesn't care about four or six people, he is not a fool who doesn't understand common affairs. He walks around all day. She knew the situation clearly in her heart. Therefore, it was impossible to play tricks under his nose without being discovered. He just didn't say anything. When it came to the critical moment, or some people deceived others too much, this was a strong card. Strong big name."

"Combined with the gang of scumbags who were found out by taking advantage of my own meticulous work, no matter how high the censor and Hanlin jump, they can only shoot themselves in the foot." Shen Cha nodded, "Song Jue deal with them , It can be said that they can be suppressed to death without any effort, so that they live in fear all the time, and they can't protect themselves, so they have no time to take care of other things."

"That's pretty good." Shen Haolin nodded, "It saved us a lot of trouble, and it can be regarded as a great help to us. We have to thank him well." He looked at Wei Qing, then at Zi Lan, "Have you all finished talking?"

"Yes!" Wei Qing and Zi Lan saluted, "This subordinate is leaving."

"Give it to you two." Shen Cha looked at Mei Lin and Mei Zhu, "Then go back and rest, and come back tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"
