Judge of the Lamp

Why did Li Quangen know how to open the secret compartment?
Because he is the palm seal eunuch of Zhidian Supervisor.

The name Zhidianjian sounds very grand, but the things they do are not grand. Their work is mainly to clean the palaces and gardens, that is, the cleaners in the palace.

The work is hard, and usually there is not much oil and water, so Zhidian supervisor is not a high status among the twelve supervisors in the Shenjun Palace.

But Zhidian Supervisor has two advantages. One is that he is well-informed. In the palace, from the main hall to the stables, there is no place without sweeping. No matter what happens in any corner, it cannot be hidden from the Zhidian Supervisor.

In addition, Zhidian Supervisor is familiar with all kinds of buildings in the Shenjun Hall.

Some buildings are in the open, and the pavilions and pavilions have to be cleaned, while some buildings are in the dark, and the secret rooms and tunnels have to be cleaned by a special person.

As the palm seal of the Zhidian Supervisor, except for the extremely secret existence, most of the buildings in the Shenjun Hall are under the control of Li Quangen.

In the Great Hall of the Divine Lord, there are countless darkrooms with similar construction methods. Naturally, the darkrooms in the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment are no better than those in the Great Hall of the Divine Lord. Therefore, Li Quangen knew the method to open the door when he saw the layout.

After opening the dark room, Yang Wu hurriedly followed Xu Zhiqiong to move things out. The Minister of Criminal Affairs collected a lot of "criminal evidence" in the study room. There were yellow ones, white ones, blue ones and green ones. Xu Zhiqiong didn't pick and choose. Look at the valuables, all accepted.

Chang Decai looked at the crowd and said: "Today, Xiao Quanzi has made a great contribution. Three days later, I will teach you the real skills. When the time comes, I will teach Xiao Quanzi a small trick. Don't be jealous!"

Li Quangen was very grateful, and the five bid farewell to Chang Decai, and hurried back to the Shenjun Hall.

On the way, Zhao Jindong's complexion was extremely bad, he looked at Li Quangen and said: "Li Zhangyin, I usually see that you don't show off your mountains and dews, and your ability to win achievements is really extraordinary!"

Li Quangen said with a smile: "Young Supervisor Zhao, what do you mean? You usually occupy a fat job and eat a lot of food. I am a sweeping leader. I saw you greedy, so I didn't say anything!"

Zhao Jindong snorted and said: "If you are short of the three or five taels of silver, I will just give it to you. When learning the real skills, let's be less mindful?"

Qin Yan persuaded: "We are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and we should learn from our predecessors sincerely. It is best to do less intrigue."

……

Xu Zhiqiong packed up the gold, silver, pearls and jade, and moved all the "criminal evidence" collected by the Ministry of Punishment Minister to Zhonglangyuan.

Before leaving, he did not forget to restore all the study rooms, so that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice would not know that he had lost something for a while, and save his heartache and discomfort.

Back in Zhonglang's courtyard, Chang Decai offered incense to Canrou Xingxiu, and Xu Zhiqiong followed suit.

Chang Decai pulled Xu Zhiqiong far away, and asked: "Master, did you just talk about big business, did you discuss business with our ancestor?"

Xu Zhiqiong scratched his cheek: "It can't be considered a discussion. I talked to Xingxiu seriously. Although Xingxiu didn't respond, he listened carefully."

Chang Decai said: "What kind of business is it?"

"Can't you see the opportunity in the Great Hall of the Divine Sovereign?"

"What opportunity?"

"When you were in the palace, do you know how many servants there are in Daxuan Palace?"

Chang Decai recalled it carefully: "I remember this well. The total number of servants in the twelve prisons should be 3000, but there are actually more than 600 people, and more than 300 people are missing."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "In our Daxuan, the emperors of all dynasties had almost 500 servants around them. When King Xuan Chou had more servants, there were more than 1000. When Emperor Changle arrived, they felt that the servants Too many, most of them were dismissed by him, and now there are less than 1000 people left, how many of these [-] people have cultivation bases?"

Chang Decai made a calculation: "Emperor Changle should have kept most of the servants with cultivation base. Roughly, there are two to 300 of them."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I read the books, there are 320 people in total, and these 320 people have become all the disciples of the eunuchs. You said that the foundation of your Taoism, can he be hardened?
And this number has to be less and less, Emperor Chang Le's life is simple, the population in the harem is not prosperous, the servants are getting more and more idle, and more and more people are dismissed, and the life of your Taoist sect is getting more and more difficult, depending on how you make incense , The foundation of this door can't grow. "

Only then did Chang De understand Xu Zhiqiong's meaning: "I heard that there are quite a lot of servants in Yelang Kingdom."

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "I made a rough estimate before, that there are nearly [-] servants in the Shenjun Palace."

"Twenty thousand!" Chang Decai exclaimed.

"This number is quite small, according to the information Liang Yuyao inquired, the real number of servants may exceed [-]!
If you can lure the servants of Yelang Kingdom into the eunuch, why worry about the foundation of the eunuch being unstable?Canrou Xingxiu even has a chance to go one step further! "

Chang Decai bit his lips when he heard the words, his blushing cheeks seemed a little excited.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "However, you need to be more careful about this matter. Daxuan does not restrict eunuchs' practice, but Yelang Kingdom strictly prohibits eunuchs from practicing. If there is a little carelessness, these people may lose their lives, especially the one from the Shenji Division." People will never let them go easily."

Chang Decai said: "Actually, there is nothing terrible about Shen Jiji, but I am afraid of bringing disaster, so I can't kill him."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Kill, just kill as fast as you can, and tell me after killing. It doesn't matter if you kill wrongly, I will deal with it!"

……

Back at Yuyao Palace, Xu Zhiqiong fell asleep, and at dawn the next day, he taught Brother Xing how to read.

Seeing that Brother Xing's clothes were torn, Xu Zhiqiong said, "I'll give you some money later to buy new clothes."

Brother Xing shook his head and said: "It's just a little bit broken, I'll just fix it up, Lord Hou knows what clothes I used to wear."

Xu Zhiqiong touched Brother Xing's head and said, "Don't save me money, I just went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night and got a lot of money back."

Brother Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't want to hear these words, but he heard them anyway.

A maid brought two plates of candied fruit, and the two were eating when Qianniang came to the yard and asked Xu Zhiqiong to discuss matters.

Xu Zhiqiong left in a hurry. Brother Xing wanted to review the few words he had just learned, but he heard two coughs from the yard.

It stands to reason that the groom should not be able to enter the east courtyard. Who is coughing in the courtyard?
But Brother Xing knew that if the cough was ignored, the groom might come to him.

Brother Xing gritted his teeth and went to the stable.

The groom asked, "Where did he go last night?"

Brother Xing said: "It seems that I went to Princess Yuyao again."

The groom smiled: "Brother, come and help me turn over the fodder."

Brother Xing walked up to the groom, and was about to turn over the grass, but the groom grabbed his clothes and punched him hard in the stomach.

Brother Xing shivered and almost vomited.

The groom spat and said, "I heard it all. He said it himself. He went to the Criminal Department last night. How dare you lie to me? Do you think you want to die?"

Brother Xing didn't make a sound, the groom threw his fist and wanted to hit him, but suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Brother Xing, are you there?"

It's Yu Chilan.

Gritting his teeth, the groom whispered to Brother Xing: "Don't talk nonsense, you can measure it yourself."

Brother Xing straightened his clothes, adjusted his breath, and shouted: "Sister, I'm here to help feed the horses."

Yu Chilan stepped forward to hold him and said: "Silly boy, why don't you know how to do some serious things for a day? Zhiqiong asked me to teach you how to read. I'll wait for him to come back and test you later, so hurry up and go with my sister."

The groom fed the fodder, cleaned the stables, and drove the cart out of Yuyao Palace to prepare for tomorrow's expenses.

He first went to the market to buy fodder, some salt for horses, two reins and four stirrups.

Everything was ready, the groom was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the wine shop to drink two catties of old wine.

When giving the money, he did not forget to mark the price with the boss, saved two coppers, and happily took the money away.

The shopkeeper took out a note from a copper coin and quietly placed it under the counter.

Yang Wu quietly squatted next to the wine shop, squatting from noon to dusk, until the wine shop closed, he sensed the magic circle moving.

Who is this for?

The place is quite far!
That man's name is Da Si Kou!

……

In March, the territory of Tunu was still icy and snowy. Gongsun Wen took a sip of hot wine and silently looked at the letter in his hand.

"Go to the Ministry of Punishment to find money, that guy is still so restless." Gongsun Wen threw the letter into the fire and burned it.

Hong Juncheng, stupid and foolish lord, you have provoked the last person you should not have provoked.

Xu Zhiqiong, just make trouble, I know you won't stop, as long as you keep making trouble, that person will appear sooner or later.

When that person falls, I should return to my hometown.

……

Yang Wu patted the dust off his body, and stood up from the side of the restaurant.

He stretched himself, silently looking at the officials in the distance.

The officer turned his head away, as if he didn't see him.

This is the official mission of Shenlin Mansion, they came out to catch beggars.

Yang Wu leaned forward, pointed at the ragged clothes, and said to the officer: "I'm a beggar, are you arresting me?"

The officer turned his face to the other side, still pretending not to see Yang Wu.

"I'm such a beggar, can you catch me or not!"

The officer turned his head away again, still pretending not to see Yang Wu.

Almost every official in Shenlin Mansion has stayed in Shantang, the worst one has been there three times, each time at least one day and one night.

They have learned a hard skill in the shantang, that is, they will never see beggars in their eyes.

Because they know that if they catch a beggar, they have to go to the Shantang.
