White Hedge Dream

Chapter 60 Announcement

Because he had to go to the palace to meet the emperor today, Zhou Jingyun simply ate breakfast and went out.

It was still early and there were not many people on Yu Street.

The entrance to the Board of Supervisors is even more deserted.

Unlike others who retreated, Zhou Jingyun walked straight in and asked the doorman to see Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze was having breakfast. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "I was about to send people to find the prince, but the prince came first. Does this mean we have a good understanding?"

Zhou Jingyun smiled and did not answer the words. He only bowed and thanked him: "Thank you Zhongcheng. My family's matter has been settled."

Zhang Ze smiled: "No wonder Ding Anbo pulled three carts of stuff to my house last night."

Zhou Jingyun sighed: "Everything you can buy with money is good luck."

Zhang Ze laughed: "Your Majesty is right."

Zhou Jingyun didn't stay any longer: "I will go into the palace to meet the saint."

Seeing the emperor, Zhang Ze said with a smile: "Then I won't delay the prince. I will celebrate with you when the prince is promoted." Seeing Zhou Jingyun about to leave, he stopped when he thought of something, took out a scroll from the table and handed it to him. He gave it to him, "This is a new arrest document issued by our Board of Supervisors. The prince often travels in other places. Take it and look at it. If it looks familiar, it will be a great achievement."

Arrest documents? Zhou Jingyun took the scroll and opened it, revealing the face of a woman.

The lines of the portrait are simple, and the eyebrows are not clear, and they look like they have been drawn at random.

But I can still feel that this is a beauty.

It was said to be an arrest document, but it did not include the details of the criminal, not even the name, surname, and age.

"This criminal must hide his name when he escapes. It doesn't matter whether he writes his name or not." Zhang Ze's voice spread lightly, "And he will also alert others."

I see.

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "That's indeed the case." He raised his head and looked at Zhang Ze, "I don't have any impression so far. I made a note of it, hoping to help Zhong Cheng."

Zhang Ze kept looking at him, nodded with a smile and said hello, and watched Zhou Jingyun walk out.

The moment he saw the Haidu document, Zhou Jingyun had no unusual reaction.

It was impossible to expect that he would be able to find clues, but he was used to being cautious and would not let anyone go.

Outside the door, an official came in with a box in his arms: "Zhongcheng, this month's Tonghuo secret reports have been sorted out."

Zhang Ze glanced at the box that the official opened and frowned: "Why are there so few? Back then, Empress Chiang had so many secrets in one day. Am I not as good as those cruel officials of Empress Chiang in the eyes of the world?"

Zhang Ze's voice was not loud, and he was smiling when he spoke, but it was this smile that sent chills all over his body.

The officials who sent the informant were trembling with fear.

"Zhongcheng has not been in the capital these days." He said smartly, "Everyone just wants to wait for you to come back."

Is that so? Zhang Ze seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his eyes were gloomy, he said nothing, and the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant.

"Zhongcheng." Another official thought of something and hurriedly took out a secret letter from his sleeve, "The report sent by Yu Qingtang must be a major case."

Yuqingtang is a **** shop in the capital. The original owner was the Lu family of Fan Yang. With the changes of dynasties and the ups and downs, the owner also changed hands several times. By the time of the Zhou Dynasty, it had become a very ordinary store. The owner was not a famous nobleman, but a A businessman named Cai Songnian.

It was originally inconspicuous, but with the new emperor's accession to the throne, the Board of Supervisors resumed informing Tong Jiao, and Yu Qingtang gained a reputation with Zhang Ze.

It often sends informants, and the ones it accuses are all powerful and noble families, and they are not the kind of reports that are heard or said, but have detailed records of who said what, when, where, and who is around them Now, even what he ate and drank, what kind of tea he had, and what was even more rigorous were the person's current accounts and secret property.

It's even more detailed than what the secret agents of the Board of Supervisors reported.

According to this kind of report, we can catch one accurately and catch one string at a time, saving time and effort.

This is not something that a **** shop can do, but Zhang Ze checked and found out who was hiding behind it. Cai Songnian also repeatedly stated that he wanted to build Zhang Zhongcheng's ears, nose, and eyes and build a century-old foundation that is irreplaceable.

Yes, that's right, new emperor, new court, new opportunities, Zhang Ze can understand what Yu Qingtang did.

Since he wants to be his lackey, Zhang Ze can just use it.

When there is no one to complain about Yu Qingtang in the future, he will dispose of it.

Zhang Ze reached out to take the secret letter and opened it, raising his eyebrows and shouting: "This is a big fish!"

The attendant looked over and looked surprised.

"Jiang Datong Jiang Shaojian!" he said.

Although Jiang Datong was only a young **** from the fourth rank of the palace, his status in front of the emperor was extraordinary. When the emperor was still King of Changyang, Jiang Datong had made friends with him and had many supports.

King Changyang stayed at Jiang's house many times to avoid trouble. King Changyang ascended the throne and became the emperor. Once at a banquet, Jiang Datong got drunk, and the emperor even let him sleep on his couch. A censor accused Jiang Datong of being disrespectful and offensive. The emperor The defense said that no one blamed him for sleeping in Jiang Datong's bed back then, so no one could blame Jiang Datong at this moment.

Prime Minister Zhu Xingjian, who supported King Changyang's ascension to the throne, had to be polite when meeting Jiang Datong, lest Jiang Datong blow the pillow in front of the emperor.

The secret letter said that Jiang Datong's wife, who was able to flatter the emperor, was born in the Du family of Jingzhao and had family-hered flower-growing skills. Empress Chiang held a winter banquet that year, and the banquet was filled with hundreds of flowers, which was breathtaking. Empress Chiang was born with a strange vision, so Empress Chiang even more monopolized power.

In fact, these flowers are the craftsmanship given by Du in private.

The secret letter said that Empress Chiang asked Du what reward she wanted, and Du asked for a good marriage for her daughter, hoping to marry the third prince after the prince, King Guangping.

But he didn't expect that King Guangping would soon be defeated because of a conspiracy. He fled in a hurry and died on the way. Even his title as prince was deprived of him.

Zhang Ze looked at it with great interest and raised his eyebrows: "Yu Qingtang can find out about such private matters in the palace." The connection may be an old palace official in the palace, or it may be that after Empress Chiang was killed, she was afraid of new people. The emperor was bloodbathed and fled out of the palace.

The attendant thought thoughtfully: "In this way, although the Du family failed to climb into the royal family through Empress Chiang, she did it through her son-in-law Jiang Datong, so she got her wish."

He said with excited eyebrows.

Although it seems to have nothing to do with Jiang Shaojian, according to the habits of the Yi tribe, he will also be unlucky.

"Will Shaojian Jiang kill his wife to show that he and the Yue family are sworn in?"

Zhang Ze looked like he wanted to see it too, but at the next moment he felt a little regretful.

"The emperor was trained hard when he was a prince and rarely trusted others. Jiang Shaojian is a rare one. It is easy to deal with Jiang Shaojian, but it is also easy to hurt His Majesty."

His Majesty will feel embarrassed. In addition to hating Young Inspector Jiang, he will also be jealous of him as the person investigating the case.

He wanted to gain the emperor's trust and dependence by killing Chiang's party, not just killing indiscriminately.

"Save it for later."

Zhang Ze put the secret letter away and was not interested in reading other secrets.

"You guys take a pick and choose a few rich ones. Your Majesty lives too frugally. We have to relieve His Majesty's worries."

The officials hurriedly responded.

Zhang Ze pointed to the arrest document on the desk.

"Also, send a copy of this arrest document to Yu Qingtang, giving them a chance to serve me."

On a bright autumn day, a young man walked quickly. He seemed to be tired of the autumn light, covered his head and face with his sleeves, and broke into a **** shop.

The door of the **** shop is high with a small counter, blocking out the autumn light, and is filled with a gloomy and despondent atmosphere.

The young man stood in and breathed a sigh of relief. He loosened his sleeves and stretched his body like a fish in water.

And his appearance instantly brightened the dark shop.

Even an official standing in the store with a gloomy face was dazzled, but before he could take a second look, the young man stared at him first.

"Hey, why did this official get into the **** shop?" he shouted, "But what's the difficulty? What's your official position? Where are you from? Tell me and see if I can help?"

Asking someone about their difficulties sounds very enthusiastic, but asking someone about their official background seems to depend on their status to help. It is really an uncomfortable conversation.

As expected, he was a **** who acted erratically and even General Li didn't look down on him.

The official looked at him coldly: "Shangguan Xiaolang, I have a low official position and a poor background. I am not qualified to board your boat, so I don't need your help."

Shangguan Yue was not surprised at all that others recognized him, but felt a bit proud.

"That's really a pity." He said with a smile, "I wish you a prosperous career."

Do you want to wait until you become famous and then board his boat?

Is this a compliment or an insult?

The official's gloomy expression became even more gloomy.

The shop assistant stood by and said, "Shangguan Xiaolang, this is Song Lushi from the Board of Supervisors."

That was Zhang Ze's subordinate.

Although he is just a green-robed reporter, being targeted is very troublesome.

The princes and princesses were not untouchable in their eyes.

The shop assistant hurriedly pushed Shangguan Yue inside.

"My boss is waiting. Don't you think it's inconvenient to do things during the day and affect your sleep? You should go back to bed early."

Shangguan Yue said, "Why are you so anxious?" "Hey, what are the people from the Board of Supervisors doing here? Aren't you going to be banned?" "Then my money must be taken away immediately." and other annoying words to her. Gone guilty.

Song Lushi stared at him coldly, making the store clerk who turned back shiver.

"Song Lu's story." He said with a smile.

Song Lushi's eyes were searching: "Shangguan's consort only has this precious son, how can he still have no money to spend in a **** shop?"

The store clerk hurriedly said: "He brought the goods mortgaged by the gamblers on the boat to us as pawns." He then added, "It won't take long for the live pawns to turn into dead pawns, and he will come to clear the account." He took the initiative and said, "He has accounting records with us. Do you want to take a look?"

It turned out that this was the case. Song Lu was relieved and had no interest in the accounts of an outsider. He shook his head and said, "I have delivered the things. Zhongcheng is waiting for your good news."

The store clerk nodded repeatedly: "We will go all out to serve Zhongcheng."

Shangguan Yue walked into the innermost warehouse of the **** shop. It was darker than the front hall and there was no dazzling array of pawned items.

Cai Songnian, the owner of Yu Qingtang, is in his forties, wearing a round-necked robe that is not old. He has fair skin and a round face with a smile. He stands waiting inside.

When he saw Shangguan Yue, he did not take out any account books to check, but bowed respectfully.

"Sir, I have told Zhang Ze the news about Jiang Datong, but this villain is strong on the outside and strong on the inside. He bullies the weak and fears the strong. I don't want to touch him."
