Leng Yi said: "Master Shen moves so quickly. Have you informed Queen Huarui of all these personnel changes?"

Shen Lun said with some fear: "I didn't report it to the queen, because the officials once said that I can directly make decisions on these matters based on the official secret decree. There is no need to report to the queen, so the queen doesn't know."

Leng Yi understood. No wonder Hua Rui didn't tell him these things, because she lived in a deep palace and everything was reported to her. As long as Shen Lun and the others didn't tell her, it was unlikely that she would know, and she hadn't thought of so much before. .So there was no arrangement for her to pay attention to the news.

It's fine for Huarui. His own trial court didn't report this information to him. But it's no wonder that the trial court has just been established and the work it carries out is not standardized. They usually deploy them to pay attention to monitoring. The private affairs of the ministers or whether they formed cliques for personal gain, etc. However, normal personnel changes, which everyone knew about, did not pay attention to it. Not to mention them, he himself did not notice changes in this area during his return to the capital.

It seems that after all, I was negligent.

Leng Yi said: "It turned out to be like this. Let's report it to Queen Huarui first, and then Prince Zhao Yuanzuo."

"Okay!" Shen Lun breathed out lightly.

After sending Shen Lun away, Leng Yi knew that he had to make amends. He immediately came to the trial court, convened a meeting with the deputy court judge Li Changling and the directors of various departments, and deployed a new supervision task, which was to pay close attention to the officials and officials in the capital. Personnel changes of local state and county officials. At the same time, emphasis is placed on monitoring new royal relatives who have taken important positions. If any problems are discovered, report them immediately.

After making arrangements, Leng Yi changed his clothes and came to Bai Hong's Xinghuang Restaurant.

After the two got along, Leng Yi came here again, not in the front seats, but directly to Bai Hong's boudoir. He closed the door and got intimate.

After some tenderness, Bai Hong looked at him with a blushing face: "Come on, what do you want from me?"

"I want to hire a killer from you."

Bai Hong smiled: "You are so capable. Why do you need to find someone from me?"

"It's not convenient for me to take action."

"I understand, you won't find me here even if it's convenient. After all, who is the target? When will we do it?"

"Prince Zhao Yuanzuo! He has arrived to participate in our negotiations with the Liao Kingdom. We will take action after he enters the Liao Kingdom."

Bai Hong didn't seem to be surprised at all by what Leng Yi said about the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. He didn't ask why the negotiations were necessary. He just nodded and said, "Are there any specific requirements?"

"I will arrange for your killer to enter the negotiation escort team, and the driver will poison him in the Liao Kingdom, and then frame it for the Liao Kingdom!"

"I understand. I will choose the best poisoning master. I will make sure that the Liao Kingdom will be speechless!"

"Okay, I'll pay for the killer's fees."

Bai Hong smiled: "Of course you have to pay, my killer fee is not low. I don't have the money to help you pay. If I go out, you don't have to pay. But this job doesn't require me to go out. I also You can't kill him, so I can only cost you money."

Leng Yi asked curiously: "Why can't you kill him?"

Bai Hong rolled her eyes at him: "The killer's biggest taboo is curiosity! You, although your martial arts are high enough, this is just not good enough!"

"There are so many secrets about you that I can't help but make me curious. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to ask."

Bai Hong looked at him and suddenly whispered: "If you don't come to me, I will come to you. Do you know what I am looking for you for?"

Leng Yi kissed her: "Do you miss me?"

"Of course, but that's not why."

"what is that?"

Bai Hong took something off his neck, handed it to Leng Yi, and said, "Here, here's this thing for you!"

Leng Yi took it and smelled a faint girl's body fragrance. He couldn't help but kiss her cheek again. Then he lowered his head and took a closer look. He saw that it was a piece of pure white jade and a necklace made of gold threads.

One side of the white jade was engraved with the four seal characters "Fu Shou Yong Chang", and the back was engraved with a line of small characters. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a birth date.

Leng Yi smiled and said: "What? The world has changed. Is it the other way around now? The woman took the initiative to 'ask for a name' (one of the six wedding rituals)?"

Bai Hong smiled and said: "You are so beautiful!"

"Then what do you do for me?"

"Just wear it, there are so many words!" Bai Hong carefully put the necklace on his neck for him, thought about it, and whispered: "If there is any danger in the palace, just take this out!"

"In the palace? Hey, what danger could there be in the palace?"

"Don't ask! Just obey!"

"Okay! You are becoming more and more mysterious!"

Bai Hong smiled sweetly, stretched out her arms to hug his neck, kissed him, and said: "Don't worry, as I said, one day I will tell you all my secrets. Even if you don't ask, I will tell you."

And, judging from the current situation, this day shouldn’t be too long.”

"Okay! Then let me kiss your little mouth that keeps secrets, and then look into your heart to see how many little secrets you have!" Leng Yi hugged Bai Hong and rolled onto her embroidery bed.

…………

When Shen Lun left Leng Yi's third office, he first reported the division of labor between the two to Queen Huarui. Sure enough, Huarui didn't put forward any opinions and let them take charge of their respective tasks according to this division of labor. After hearing that Shen Lun said that he would also report to Zhao Yuanzuo,

Huarui was a little surprised. She heard that Leng Yi also agreed, so she didn't say anything.

Shen Lun came to the palace of the prince Zhao Yuanzuo. The flower hall was already full of people, including the privy envoy Chu Zhaofu, the deputy privy envoy Shi Xizai, the deputy envoy of the third department Wang Renzhan, the privy minister Chen Congxin and other civil servants as well as the guards in front of the palace.

several generals.

Seeing Shen Lun coming in, Zhao Yuanzuo waved and said, "Sit down. I was about to send someone to find you, but you came unexpectedly. What, is there something wrong?"

Shen Lun walked forward with a bow and handed the division of labor to Zhao Yuanzuo: "This is the division of labor between Wei Chen and Commander Leng drawn up by Commander Leng. Queen Huarui has already approved it. Wei Chen told Commander Leng about the official family."

After receiving the secret decree, he agreed to submit it to your Majesty for your approval."

Zhao Yuanzuo took it, glanced at it, crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground: "The man named Leng wants to put all the important yamen under his command. Hehe, he has a huge appetite. Be careful to die!"

Chu Zhaofu whispered: "Commander Leng is sitting like this, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives."

"Does it need to be said? He wants to use this madness to eat up my Zhao family's empire! Huh! I'm afraid he doesn't have such a big mouth!"

When it came to this, Chu Zhaofu and other people who were not relatives of the emperor naturally did not dare to talk indiscriminately, but the descendants of the Zhao family cursed one by one and were filled with righteous indignation.

When everyone had finished scolding him, Zhao Yuanzuo waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can't scold him to death even if you scold him like this, let's sit down and think about something serious!"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, everyone immediately stopped talking. Compared with the liveliness just now, it was like entering an empty room. Zhao Yuanzuo's nose was crooked and he said: "It was so lively just now. , why don’t you say it now? Aren’t you afraid of that guy Leng Yi?”

Chu Zhaofu smiled apologetically and said: "But it's not that everyone dare not say it? It's not that he's afraid of him. It's just that I think you are going to negotiate, my lord. Once you go, everyone will have no backbone, so no one knows say what."

Shen Lun also said: "Yes, now that you are still here, Leng Yi has become so arrogant. If you leave, he will not be able to capture all the descendants, grandsons, relatives and relatives of the Zhao family?"

As soon as he said this, everyone started to make a fuss again.

Zhao Yuanzuo slapped the table and said angrily: "What kind of chaos! They haven't started yet, but you yourself have messed up first. Why don't you wait for others to clean you up one by one?"

So everyone stopped talking again.

Zhao Yuanzuo said sadly: "You don't have to worry, I have already thought of a clever plan. Even if I leave, you don't have to be afraid, someone will call you to protect my Zhao family!"

"Who?" everyone asked hurriedly.

"Hey, you will know in a few days. Don't worry." Zhao Yuanzuo said proudly.

Shen Lun said: "What about the division of labor between Wei Chen and Leng Yi?"

"Tell him that there is no need to divide the work. The two of you will manage it together! All matters must be signed by both of you to take effect."

"I'm afraid he won't agree to this."

"Don't worry, I will find someone to tell Empress Huarui. As long as she agrees, I can't help but refuse to agree!"

Seeing how confident he looked, Shen Lun was a little confused, but he still nodded.

After leaving Zhao Yuanzuo's palace, Shen Lun went to Leng Yi's San Yamen. Leng Yi was not there. He went to the Court of Punishment and was not there either, so he had to go to Leng Yi's mansion. It turned out that Leng Yi's San Yamen had already gone home.

In the flower hall, Shen Lun said respectfully: "Commander Leng, I just went to Prince Zhao Yuanzuo's house to talk about this matter. The prince said that there is no need to divide the work in detail. The two of us will handle everything together." It must be signed by both of us before it can take effect. What do you think?"

Leng Yi frowned and said, "Isn't this good? Empress Huarui has said that we should divide the work between us."

A casual sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Lun's mouth, and it disappeared in a flash: "Prince Zhao Yuanzuo said that he would tell Empress Huarui, and she should agree."

The sneer on the corner of Shen Lun's mouth looked very hidden, but it still did not escape Leng Yi's eyes. Leng Yi's heart sank. Could it be that Zhao Yuanzuo had any other tricks up his sleeve? In this case, let's just wait and see what happens, and then He made another decision and nodded immediately: "Well, let's wait for Empress Huarui's decree. As long as she says so, I have no objection."

Shen Lun left. Leng Yi sat in the flower hall and meditated for a long time.

The next day, while Leng Yi was having breakfast, a eunuch came to the palace to pass on Queen Huarui's oral instructions, so that Leng Yi could enter the palace and discuss matters in the Huangyi Palace. (To be continued...)
