imperial psychologist

Chapter 588
Ai Songqing discussed with Bo Ling for a long time, until the distant sky showed a little light, and the two became a little tired.

There were some things that neither of them said, but each of them pondered in their hearts.

Just thinking about such a thing makes people feel chilling, but they have to guard against it.

"It's time to rest." Bo Ling whispered, "You still have to go to the band today."

"Yeah." Ai Songqing nodded, "It's okay to stay here for a while now and then."

The two turned around and walked towards the hall of the house. Before Bai Ling entered the room, Ai Songqing called her again.

Bai Ling stopped and turned around, "What's wrong?"

"...I just, suddenly remembered the time when we first arrived in Baihuaya," Ai Songqing said softly, "At that time, you never meddled in such nosy matters."

Bo Ling also smiled, "I couldn't even eat at that time."

Ai Songqing lowered her eyes slightly, said goodbye to Bo Ling, and the two went back to their houses.

……

"Ge Lao, there is new news!"

Standing next to Sun Beiji, Zhang Shouzhong, the valet of the cabinet in the palace, tried to suppress his voice, but couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.

Sun Beiji raised his head and saw a letter in Zhang Shouzhong's hand.

"This is..." Sun Beiji frowned slightly, "Has the emperor replied?"

"Yes, what was sent together with the secret letter from the Ministry of War today is a letter in a letter. The emperor said in the decree, let me deliver this letter to Elder Ge, and Elder Ge will understand."

Sun Beiji stood up and took the envelope from Zhang Shouzhong with both hands.

"What did the emperor say in the letter to the Ministry of War?" Sun Beiji asked.

"It has been printed and distributed to all ministries according to the rules. The old man will be able to read the original text when he returns to the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet." Zhang Shouzhong replied, "It is probably still explaining the issues that have been raised before, and the three things that are most concerned at the moment are: The transportation of food and grass ahead, the construction of the two courts after the imperial examination this year, and this letter in the hands of the old man.

"I guess, it should be related to the group of green-robed bandits in the prison."

While Zhang Shouzhong was speaking, Sun Beiji had already opened the envelope.

The envelope was sealed with wax wax, and the wax dripped well, and the shape was regular.He took out a small knife and cut open the envelope along the opening.

Sun Beiji took out the letter paper inside, smoothed the four stacks of letter paper inside with both hands, and turned to look at it.

Zhang Shouzhong stood where he was, with his eyes lowered, on the open space in front of Sun Beiji's desk, quietly waiting for Sun Beiji to finish reading.

For a moment, only Sun Beiji's slow pace could be heard in the room.

"I really got the hammer." Sun Beiji put away the letter, "Shouzhong light a candle for me."

"Yes." Zhang Shouzhong did as he did.

The flame of the candle rose, and Sun Beiji placed the letter sent by Chen Yicong from afar on top of the flame.

"George, this is..."

"Burn it after reading it." Sun Beiji replied softly.

"Is it impossible to reveal even a little bit?"

"No," Sun Beiji shook his head, "Don't think too much, it's just that the emperor ordered me to do so. I'll repeat the content of the letter to you..."

Sun Beiji could guess a little bit of the reason why Chen Yicong let him burn after reading it——Zhang Shouzhong's ability to never forget, really made people feel a little guarded.

Even if Chen Yicong uttered some words, he would not wish them to remain in this world as they were.

Sun Beiji understands that it is better to keep some things in his mind—although his memory is indeed not as good as when he was young, but fortunately his ability to outline is first-rate.

After burning the letter, he will keep what he should do in his mind, but he won't always remember Chen Yicong's specific words.

Maybe this is what the emperor wants.

"The emperor said that four years ago, Mr. Hengyuan left a list to see the old Ange department." Sun Beiji said softly, "The emperor put it in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Zhang Shouzhong nodded, indicating that he was listening.

Sun Beiji said softly, "But in Prince Gong's mansion, there is still a list of the old Ange ministers, which was left to him by the empress when the emperor was still the crown prince.

"He compared the two lists early in the morning and found a slight discrepancy between the two, but the emperor didn't say anything, and just cleaned Jian'an Pavilion according to the list given by Mr. Hengyuan."

Zhang Shouzhong was stunned, "...Why would your empress know who is the former member of Ange?"

"The words in this are too long to say..." Sun Beiji looked calmly, "In short, the empress just knows."

Zhang Shouzhong's face turned slightly pale - there were some things that Sun Beiji didn't need to say thoroughly, he could figure it out right away with just a little bit like this.

In fact, Zhang Shouzhong was a little concerned about Zhen's identity before this year. Speaking of it, her father was a teacher handpicked by the former prince, and he specially taught Mr. Hengyuan in Qinyuan.

Although she had such a close relationship with the former prince, Zhen finally married Prince Gong.

If in the end, Mrs. Zhen is also involved with Jian'ange, and can even get such things as the personnel list of the old department... Then there are some things that really cannot bear to think about.

"Now the emperor wants us to pay attention to two groups of people." Sun Beiji said softly, "One group was written by Mr. Hengyuan, but the empress did not. The other group was written by the empress, but Mr. Hengyuan did not." The batch that was written.

"The former, let's find a way to control it first, what about the latter..." Sun Beiji slowly looked at Zhang Shouzhong, and lightly gestured with his hand in the air, "Kill."

Zhang Shouzhong was stunned.

He never received such a will.

"Of course, we don't need to do things." Sun Beiji said again, "But there are two lists, one is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the other is in the Old Palace. We need to get them and then hand them over to Beizhen Fusi... this one I can do it alone.”

"Then I...?"

"Chen Xin, the king of Shangluo County, came to Beijing at the end of May," Sun Beiji said softly, "He has the emperor's order on his back, and he has been in the capital for more than a month now, and he needs someone to help him."

Zhang Shouzhong frowned slightly, "Is this what the emperor entrusted to me?"

Sun Beiji nodded, "It should be because Jingzhen is about the same age as him."

"What exactly are you going to do?"

"Look at the situation at the county king's side," Sun Beiji said softly, "He lives on Ruzi Road now, you can find some time today and come over for a while."

Zhang Shouzhong showed a rather puzzled expression.

Sun Beiji said again, "You don't need to go to my side to pass on your contacts with the county king in the future. Chen Xin has a way to go directly to Tianting, so as not to cause complications."

When he was out of the cabinet, Zhang Shouzhong felt that his mind, which was quite clear before, had become a little chaotic again.

The emperor had suspected that the blue-robed bandits had other origins early in the morning, and later discovered that these people were suspected of being involved in gold.

However, Chen Yicong did not immediately order these prisoners to be killed by Yu Qiuhou. Instead, he immediately set his sights on Jian'ange's old department, and his attack was extremely heavy - he would secretly kill a group of people as soon as he made a move.

If he hadn't obtained the ironclad evidence that the banditry was related to Jian'ange's old department, the emperor would definitely not have made such a ruling.

But if it was really as judged by the emperor—seeing that Ange was still active today, then in this year's battle, the enemies they faced would not only be the golden men outside the pass.
