The grass in the factory should be plucked
Chapter 24 Night Detective
Xie Changan glanced at her and said, "I asked someone to find the herbs you wanted. Some of them have strong medicinal properties. It is said that they are extremely painful when used as medicinal baths. Do you know that?"
Jiang Li said happily: "Any news? Don't worry, sir, the medicinal bath combined with the body-refining technique won't hurt."
Xie Changan raised his eyebrows: "Have you tried it?"
Jiang Li suddenly realized that she had let something slip. She rolled her eyes and said, "It's mentioned in the technique. I missed this sentence when I was reciting it. It's not the point. Isn't it normal to forget it? Hehehe..."
Xie Changan was too lazy to expose her, so he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to her: "Jiang Mansion's investigation report."
Jiang Li opened it and took a look, pursing her lips tightly.
Xie Changan said: "Some things have not been thoroughly investigated. Please be patient and do not act rashly without my order!"
Jiang Li whispered: "Yes, thank you sir!"
Xie Changan added: "You will start your mission tomorrow. Don't have any other thoughts, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
His tone was cold and Jiang Li believed that if she showed the slightest intention of escaping, he would kill her without blinking an eye.
Jiang Li said sternly: "I obey your orders! I promise that I will never cause any trouble for you, sir!"
"Go down and memorize the Laws of the Chu State and the Code of the Chu State carefully. We will check them at any time."
"The Law of Great Chu" is the basic code of law of the Great Chu Dynasty, and "The Code of Great Chu" records in detail the rules and regulations of various departments of the court, including administration, military, justice, imperial examinations and other aspects.
Jiang Li went back to Room Yin with a bitter face to memorize his lessons.
She also understood that if she wanted to stay in the East Factory, she must learn these two books of laws.
A good memory is not as good as a good pen. Jiang Li found paper, pen and ink and started copying.
Yin Jiu came over and took a look, then praised, "Xiao Shiliu, your handwriting is really beautiful! It doesn't look like a girl's handwriting."
The painting is so powerful that it can be seen through the paper. Who can imagine that this was done by a little girl?
Yin Jiu sat down aside and helped Jiang Li grind the ink.
"Does it look good?" Her master used to think her handwriting was too sloppy and forced her to practice seriously for several years.
"It looks good. The boss's handwriting is not as beautiful as yours." Yin Jiu said in a low voice.
After Xie Changan was picked up by Liao Wuyong and brought back to the East Factory, although he was taught carefully, it was certainly impossible for him to be trained as a young master of a noble family. It was enough for his handwriting to be acceptable.
While copying the book, Jiang Li asked Yin Jiu for gossip: "Who is that girl in white? Is she the master's lover?"
What do you mean by "three years of separation"? It sounds like a story!
Yin Jiu hushed, "Don't let the boss hear it! Miss Chu is the daughter of the Ghost Doctor Valley Master. She likes our master, but he has never paid any attention to her."
"So it was Miss Chu who wanted it one-sidedly? She is very pretty and has a deep love for you, why didn't you agree?"
"It is said that Miss Chu is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. But our boss will be in charge of the East Factory sooner or later, so it is naturally inconvenient for him to marry."
"Ah? Sir, you want to be a eunuch in the future?" Jiang Li was stunned.
Generally speaking, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot was also the chief eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.
"You two have a lot of free time, right?"
The two were chatting happily when they heard Xie Changan's sinister voice. Jiang Li almost knocked over the inkstone.
"Boss..." Yinjiu was so scared that he huddled into a ball.
Xie Changan stood outside the window, his eyes cold: "Copy the Law of Great Chu ten times! Yinjiu, you copy it too!"
"Yes, sir!" This time both of them had sullen faces.
After Feng Chuan returned to Beijing, he was scolded by Concubine Zhou, who believed that he was not doing his job well.
Feng Chuan felt very wronged. He was basically sidelined in the East Factory.
Liao Wuyong and Xie Changan wanted to deal with Concubine Zhou, so how could they let him know about it? Maybe they sent him out of the capital to do something just to get him out of the way.
He did not dare to bear a grudge against Liao Wuyong and only blamed Xie Changan.
If he hadn't gone to investigate Cuixiang Pavilion for no reason, how could he have caused such a commotion in the palace? He also caused Concubine Zhou to almost lose the emperor's heart.
Feng Chuan wanted to warn Xie Changan in person, asking him how he dared to step on the imperial concubine to gain power, without even considering his own weight?
Unfortunately, Xie Changan was extremely busy and he couldn't see anyone at all.
When he asked his subordinates, they all pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, which made him very angry.
That day, Feng Chuan finally caught up with Xie Changan. With a hint of sarcasm, he said softly, "I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet."
Xie Changan raised his eyebrows and replied calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you."
Feng Chuan sneered: "The Imperial Concubine specially ordered me to convey her gratitude to the commander for his gift. She has accepted it and will repay him handsomely one day!"
Xie Changan smiled slightly: "It is the duty of the East Factory to share the worries of the Imperial Concubine. Your Majesty is too polite. I, Xie, am ashamed to accept it."
Feng Chuan sneered again and walked away.
Xie Changan understood that Concubine Zhou was holding a grudge against him, but he did not take it seriously. Although the emperor favored the second prince, standing behind the eldest prince were the prominent families headed by the Xiao family.
Although Empress Zhang is bedridden, she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo and represents the power of military generals. For now, this power remains neutral.
Most of the second prince's party are powerful officials in the court, but it is not easy to shake the interests of the two factions of aristocratic families and military generals, so the old emperor has been reluctant to appoint a crown prince.
At present, the crown prince has not been decided, there are many variables, and it is still unknown who will win.
At night, two figures wearing Dongchang night clothes, one tall and one short, flew over one roof after another like flying birds, and finally landed in the Ningyang Earl's Mansion.
The two people wearing black clothes and masks were Xie Changan and Jiang Li!
Xie Changan received a secret report that when Feng Chuan was on a business trip out of Beijing, he disguised himself as a businessman and secretly went to Shanxi.
On this day, Yin Yi came to report that the Prince of Ningyang was hosting a banquet tonight to welcome Feng Chuan.
Therefore, Xie Changan gave Jiang Li a task, which was to sneak into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion and eavesdrop, in order to find out what Feng Chuan was doing in Shanxi.
This was Jiang Li's first mission, and Xie Changan wanted to see how far she could go, so he personally led her on this mission.
Although Feng Chuan had his own personal guards in the East Factory, he did not know which ones among the guards were Liao Wuyong and Xie Changan's men.
When he went to the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion, he never dared to bring his own guards.
Therefore, Xie Changan and Jiang Li only need to deal with the guards of Ningyang Marquis' Mansion.
Jiang Li lay on a roof, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
Not far away, Xie Changan gave her a secret signal, telling her that there was a guard in front, behind, on the left and on the right of the main courtyard.
Jiang Li made a gesture to indicate that he received it.
She looked around, gathered her energy, and flew away from the roof.
She was moving very fast and her figure was elusive. Xie Changan only saw a flash before his eyes and then he had lost sight of her.
He looked closely and found a small black shadow appearing on the roof above the main courtyard. There was a visual blind spot there, and at first glance one would think it was a cat lying on the tiles.
Jiang Li gently pulled away a tile and looked down.
I saw the Earl of Ningyang sitting at the top, and the Crown Prince and Feng Chuan sitting at the bottom.
After three rounds of drinking, Ningyang Bo smiled and said, "Chuan'er went to Shanxi. Did he meet Liu Jun?"
Feng Chuan bowed and said, "My uncle, I have met Lord Liu, and Lord Liu has agreed to serve the Second Prince as his master."
Feng Chuan's mother was the cousin of Earl Ningyang, so he had to call Earl Ningyang his uncle.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay!"
