After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Conspiracy Countermeasures
For the officials of the Great Pei Dynasty, the fourth grade is a dividing line.

Only officials who have reached the fourth rank are eligible to enter the court hall of the imperial city to meet the Holy Majesty and directly participate in the discussion of state affairs.

There is a world of difference between the inside of a door and the inside and outside.

Only the fourth-rank official can be called a high-ranking official, and who among all the officials can't think of going to the court and entering the hall?The goal of lifelong struggle is not too much.

The prince of the Great Pei Dynasty can have one main concubine, two side concubines, four wives, and countless concubines.

Emperor Pei asked all the daughters of officials above the fourth rank to participate in the election this time, which shows that he attaches great importance to the selection of concubines for his son this time.

As soon as this news came out, the court immediately turned downwards, like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, suddenly there were ups and downs.

In Jin Wang's mansion, Jin Wang Pei Jinghei had a sullen face, and broke a set of white jade tea set with black silk, which was worth more than a thousand taels.

"My lord, calm down." All the staff members below lowered their heads in fear.

"Calm down, how can you calm down, you bunch of trash, what's the use of me raising you with so much money! If you have a dog, you can still watch the door. What about you, so many people, how long has it been, what are you doing? Stupid idea, how can I really bring him down." Pei Jing was angry, pointing at the people below and cursing, without giving any face.

The heads of the people at the bottom hang lower, and at this time, it is impossible to fall in the top. Therefore, no one wants to be the top bird, and everyone has become a quail.

Pei Jing broke out violently, looked at the people below, although he was still breathless, but he still needs this group of people to work, so he could only suppress his anger, "What should I do now? Come up with countermeasures immediately, absolutely You can't let the youngest marry a few noble girls to increase your bargaining chips."

Naturally, there are capable people among the staff, and ghost ideas popped up one by one.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, "I heard that King Shen seems to have a woman outside, and that woman gave him a pair of twins."

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

"Who did you listen to? The news is accurate? Who is that woman? Where is the child?" Jin Wang stood up in shock and asked three times.

Near the door, a man with a thin figure stood quietly with his back slightly bent. Although he was humble before, he was not in awe.

Hearing that person's words at this time, his body froze immediately, and his heart was full of turmoil.

This person is Liu Ziqing who came to Beijing to join King Jin.

"It's a fellow of my subordinates. He served in the army. On his way back to Beijing during the Northern Battle, he witnessed King Shen's intimate behavior with a woman. The woman had a pair of children by her side. As for who the woman was, the subordinate I will never know..."

"Investigate, investigate immediately." Pei Jing was a little excited. If he could catch the third child's pigtails this time and operate it, even if he could not prevent him from marrying, at least it would guarantee that he would not be able to marry a real lady from a famous family.

Liu Ziqing's eyes flickered slightly, and his heart turned back and forth.

On the day he left his hometown, he resolutely set foot on Jingtu, and then obeyed the man's order and successfully entered Jinwang's mansion with a ready-made informant.

After that, he started to help King Jin with a few things, and gained the trust of King Jin. However, in just half a year, he successfully squeezed into the staff circle and entered King Jin's study to seek work.

He has been plotting and scheming all the way, what should he do this time?
For a woman with twins, the first thing he thought of was his cousin Xiao Qi.Are they really walking together?
Liu Ziqing returned to the residence in a daze, and did not find anything wrong in the house after entering the door.

"What are you thinking?" A cold voice came from behind the curtain, finally waking someone who was absent-minded.

Liu Ziqing regained consciousness instantly, "You're here."

While talking, he walked towards the inner room, deep disgust flashed under the lowered eyes.

Walking into the inner room, I saw an unremarkable man dressed in black sitting leisurely at the table drinking tea.

Liu Ziqing glanced at the cup, then looked away, "What's the matter?"

The man put down his teacup and said solemnly, "The master ordered you to reveal the identity of the Qi family to King Jin as soon as possible, so that you have done a great job, and when this matter is over, it's time for you to plan an errand for you. At that time, I will find someone to recommend to you, King Jin will definitely agree, and the master will add fuel to the flames, and this will be done."

Listening to the other party's plan, Liu Ziqing remained silent.

"Did you hear that? This time is a great opportunity." Seeing that he was silent, Wei Wei understood what he was thinking, and advised, "Don't be stupid, even if you don't tell her, sooner or later her identity will be revealed." It will be dug out, and the truth will not be revealed by then, and it will be a pity for others to pick it up for nothing, don't you think?"

The man tried his best to persuade him a few more words. Seeing that he had not expressed his opinion, he became impatient, and mocked, "Hmph, don't give you shame. The master is the first to think of you. If you don't appreciate it, I will There are people who work for the master, they are waiting for the opportunity to take the position. You can figure it out, give you a day, if you don’t seize the opportunity tomorrow, someone will climb up the day after tomorrow.”

With that said, he stood up and shook his sleeves and left.

Liu Ziqing stood still, for a long time, he picked up the water glass that the man drank just now, and slammed it on the ground.

In the evening of the next day, Liu Ziqing stepped into King Jin's study with heavy steps.

Instead of letting others expose it unknowingly, it is better for him to do it himself, at least he can minimize the damage.

Liu Ziqing said what he should say, but didn't mention what he shouldn't.

He only told King Jin that the woman might be his cousin, and of course the younger sister of Qi Moxuan, the champion of the new division, a widowed girl with a child in her natal family.

King Jin looked at the thin man in front of him thoughtfully. Although he was indeed not very smart, he was by no means brainless.

This Liu Ziqing has only been here for half a year, and every time the task given to him is almost perfectly completed, it goes so smoothly. If he is really capable, why not take the imperial examination, but come to serve as his staff, not to mention that his cousin is the new champion.

Another example is this time, he definitely has something to hide.

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He highly praised his ability and promised to promote him.

When Liu Ziqing left, he shouted in the air, "Go, send someone to follow him."

Whether it's a human or a ghost, don't play tricks, otherwise...

Liu Ziqing left King Jin's study and walked straight on the way back, but he was a little absent-minded, and actually walked around the small garden twice.

Someone passed by, greeted him, and woke him up. After realizing the stupid thing he did, he turned around and left quickly in annoyance.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to go to Qi's house. From Qi Moxuan's coming to the capital to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, they have not deliberately met each other for so long. Now, for Xiao Qi's sake, it's time to meet up.
