Chapter 10 Are You Aren't Afraid Of Me Spreading The Word?

Changying disapproved of this vulgar way of striking up a conversation.

She pondered: "After what happened that day, the assassins shouldn't be so stupid. They came a second time waiting for me to catch me before I left. And Cheng Xiao will also deal with that account."

In short, his proposal is good, but not so easy to do.

Du Jian said, "Cheng Xiao is like a frightened bird. He will doubt me from the defense of the mansion, and he will also doubt you from your appearance. We cover each other and continue to settle down in the mansion. During the period, I will be responsible for looking for the account book.

"You can continue to catch the thief. If you need help, I can provide it. If you can't catch it, I can also give you half of the credit for obtaining the evidence, so that you can also record a sum in the credit book.

"But there is one thing, you and your people must cooperate with me when doing things in the mansion."

"Why half a month?"

"Because I have received news that the master behind Cheng Xiao has already sent someone from the capital to Changxing. Calculating the distance, it will take about half a month."

"Since you know someone is coming, why don't you wait until he leaves before intercepting him?" Chang You asked.

"Cheng Xiao might not hand it over to him directly." Du Jian said, "No one has ever intercepted the letters he circulated with the capital in the past. If not, do you think he can still live till now?"

Changying said no more.A moment: "Why did you stop me and let those people go?"

"Because if they are caught, Cheng Xiao will never reveal the account book again." Du Jian looked at her: "At least so far, no one except you has seen that I and them are two different people. "

Changying was even more surprised after hearing this: "You entrusted me with such a big secret, aren't you afraid that I will announce it?"

"Scared." Du Jian glanced at her. "But you are a man of public office."

……

That's right, Changying has a public position, even if she doesn't agree to join forces, she can't talk about it calmly.

For the sake of the Fu family's jade, she took a step back and promised to think about it before replying.

Cheng Xiao sent someone to Nankangwei, but he was still not at ease.

A while ago, brother-in-law Luo Yuan, who was born as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, suddenly wrote a letter, asking him to do what he should do well, and if something goes wrong, it will cause disaster carefully.

Luo Yuan is quite good at drilling, and in the past few years he has been in the court like a fish in water.

Because of this in-law relationship, Cheng Xiao has indeed received a lot of care from him, but never has his tone been so serious, what is meant by what should be done?Where did the misfortune come from?
In any case, Shen Changying was from Nankangwei, and Tan Shao, the chief soldier of Nankangwei, was an old subordinate of Marquis Guangwei.

If some things fall into Tan Shao's ears, it's hard to guarantee that he won't follow the clues to find out something that shouldn't show up.

So even if Shen Changying stayed in Changxing for another quarter of an hour, it would make him uneasy.

The person who promised to come to Changxing to pick up things a month ago has not yet arrived, and thinking of this, he felt a little anxious.

Due to the disadvantages left over from the late emperor's favor and trust in the descendants, the descendants are still in power in the court today.

Eight years ago, the emperor had a fierce contest with his descendants. His uncle Dongting Hou Gu Jun once led more than a dozen troops to the court to win the crown.

The court was paralyzed for a while, the emperor closed the palace for three days, and finally ordered to stay, and at the same time appointed the eldest son of the emperor as the prince.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the result of a compromise between the imperial power and his relatives.

Since then, Dongting Hou has become even more powerful, and there are few people in the court who can match him.

Because of this, the court has been stable for several years, but six years ago, a major event suddenly happened.

Dongping Hou suddenly contracted a serious illness, paralyzed in bed and unable to govern, the descendant party headed by the Gu family suddenly became disorganized, Dongping Hou's son hurriedly pushed the prince to be the backbone.

But at the same time, nobles and scholars of the imperial court frequently emerged, such as Wu Guogong, Wu Ninghou, Guangweihou, etc., these generals who were promoted by the emperor and entrusted with important use, became a powerful force against the descendants.

Since there are still several princes in the court, even the prince's position is not so stable.

After all, the tree of the Dongping Hou Mansion has deep roots, and there are clansmen in every department. This tree cannot be broken for the time being, but the struggle between the two parties has become fierce.

Cheng Xiao came to the capital at that time, and the original intention of seeking Luo Yuan was to ask him to support him and find a job in the capital.

But Luo Yuan asked him if he wanted to be a petty official in the six departments, or did he want to seek a bigger future?

He was only in his early thirties at the time, and he had just started his official career, so he naturally wanted to have a bright future.

Luo Yuan pointed out a way for him to make up for the lack of Changxing magistrate under the jurisdiction of Huzhou Prefecture, saying that if this job is done well, it will be easy to make a fortune in the future.

After all, he also has good ears and eyes, and he can see clearly what is going on in the court.Luo Yuan's mentor is the grand-uncle of the crown prince, he has explained this, if it is not for the crown prince, what else can it be?
