After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 278 Taking office
The next day.

There was a sudden sleet at night, when Shen Xian got up early in the morning, he could faintly see a little residual snow outside.

After rubbing his cold hands, Shen Xian let out a breath of steam.

Zhao Shun came out of the house wearing an official uniform.

"My lady, why did you get up so early today?"

Shen Xian turned around and straightened Zhao Shun's lapel with a smile.

"Today is your first day at work, how can I stay in bed!"

"Go to work?" Zhao Shun chewed on this unfamiliar word.

Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "It means work."

Zhao Shun smiled and didn't care about it, after all, looking back on the past, there were too many weird things about Shen Xian, since she didn't want to go into details, he also didn't want to force her.

"It's early, I'm going to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Wait a moment."

Shen Xian stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Shun's sleeve, then looked around, then stood on tiptoe and smacked Zhao Shun's face lightly.

"This is an encouragement to you. You must be extremely careful when you act. I heard that people in the officialdom are full of thoughts." Shen Xian blushed slightly and said, pointing his toes.

"Well, I remember."

Zhao Shun's mood suddenly brightened, and he went to the Ministry of Punishment to report on his work in a carriage.

Shen Xian washed up, didn't bother to have breakfast, and went out with the carriage on the table.

Arriving at the inn agreed with Yan Chongluan, Shen Xian found that Yan Chongluan had come early,

"Mr. Yan came early enough, it seems that Miss Hongye has a lot of weight in your heart."

Yan Chongluan smiled heartily and clapped his hands without refuting.

Xiao Er heard the sound and came, Wan Yao bowed his head and stood aside.

Yan Chongluan looked at Shen Xian and said: "Sister-in-law Madam probably didn't have breakfast, I'm treating you, eat whatever you want."

Shen Xian smiled slightly, sat opposite Yan Zhongluan, looked at the menu that Xiao Er handed over, and ordered a basket of beef buns.

"Young Madam, about Hongye..."

Seeing that Yan Chongluan was in such a hurry, Shen Xian had no choice but to tell Yan Chongluan what he had learned while eating.

When Yan Chongluan heard that there were so many people desperately fighting for mahjong, he really didn't understand.

"Rather than relying on mahjong to seek prosperity and wealth, it is better to start a business by yourself. The windfall from the sky can only enrich one generation, but the family business you run can benefit your descendants."

"Young Master Yan, your imagination is too simple. Not everyone has your brains to be a businessman. Many people will be fine if they don't lose money." Shen Xian bit the bun and cast a white look at Young Master Yan.

Yan Chongluan touched his nose in embarrassment. In his opinion, doing business to make money is nothing more than a simple matter.

However, from Shen Xian's words, Yan Chongluan was also a little puzzled. Hong Ye didn't look like a person who was struggling for money, otherwise he wouldn't be with Shen Xian who was obviously rich because of some issues of position. The string broke.

"Sister-in-law, do you think there is a possibility that Miss Hongye is playing mahjong so hard for another purpose?"

Shen Xian nodded, "It's entirely possible."

Glancing out of the window, Shen Xian saw Hongye's figure.

"I guess she and Yuwen have a deep hatred, and I am afraid that playing mahjong so hard is to assassinate him at the poker table."

Yan Chongluan frowned, if this was the case, Hongye would probably never return.

Not to mention whether he could be killed or not, even if he was killed, he would be shot dead by the palace guards on the spot.

Seeing that Yan Chongluan's expression was getting serious, Shen Xian quickly changed his tone.

"However, these are my guesses. If you want to confirm it, you have to work hard."

As for verifying Hongye's identity and background, Shen Xian already had a plan in mind, if Hongye was really as he had guessed, then he could recruit her into the gang and prevent her from risking her life in vain.

But if it wasn't, Shen Xian could only find a way to get ahead of her, and it would be extremely difficult to kill Yuwen.

Yan Chongluan thought for a while and had no idea, "But Miss Hongye is alone and has no relatives in the capital, how can I investigate her background?"

Shen Xian raised his finger to point to Tianque Tower, and said with a smile: "The chess and card players who are registered in Tianque Tower will register their names and places of residence."

Hearing this, Yan Chongluan's eyes lit up.

"However, Tianque Tower's confidentiality work is very good. It may take a lot of effort to successfully obtain the registration information of Sister Hongye."

Speaking of this, Yan Chongluan felt that he was in a familiar range.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what the most valuable business in the world is?"

Yan Chongluan's topic jumped up very suddenly, Shen Xian didn't keep up.

"What is it?"

"It's information." Yan Chongluan talked eloquently: "Information is the most cost-effective thing. As long as the money is in place, there is no information that cannot be bought. In my opinion, this matter is not difficult at all, but very simple. "

Seeing Yan Zhongluan's complacent look, Shen Xian couldn't help but smile, and from Yan Zhongluan's body, he felt a feeling of a rich second generation throwing money at chasing girls.

"Since that's the case, then Mr. Yan, you should work hard to track it down. After you figure it out, remember to tell me too."

Saying that, Shen Xianhe took a bite of the last meat bun, got up and went downstairs to Tianque Tower.

On the other side, Zhao Shun arrived at the Ministry of Punishment.

As the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he received a warm welcome from his colleagues, but the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment really has no way out.

Zhao Shun came to the study where he worked, and called the head of the Criminal Department to ask.

"Where is Master Shangshu, I'm going to pay a visit."

According to the usual practice, when a new official arrives, he should pay a visit to his immediate superior to leave a good impression and avoid being put on small shoes in the future.

Wang Tao, head of the criminal department smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Master Minister, don't bother, Lord Shang Shu has been ill for several months, you can just pretend that he is not around."

When he heard that Shang Shu had been ill for several months, Zhao Shun showed surprise and asked, "Since that's the case, who should be entrusted with the review of the important affairs of the Ministry of Punishment, and where should all kinds of cases be sent?"

Hearing this, the head of the criminal department laughed again.

"Master Zhao, this criminal department is actually an empty shell. If you want to deal with a case, you can deal with it. If you don't want to deal with it, just write a note and get sick. As long as there is no major case that shakes the capital, you don't have to come. As for the attendance issue, The people below are still a little discerning.”

What he said was clear and plain, but Zhao Shun felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that officials in the imperial court would eat vegetarian meals in their corpses, but he did not expect to degenerate to this point. As a second-rank minister, he pretended to be sick at home.

"I understand." Zhao Shun said as calmly as possible.

The head of the criminal department cupped his hands and said: "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhao might as well go back and rest, this thing..."

"Go and bring over the cases deposited by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I want to review them one by one."

After the words of the head of the criminal department were interrupted, he thought he had heard it wrong, until he saw that Zhao Shun's expression didn't look like he was joking, so he hurriedly cupped his hands.

After going out, the head of the criminal department smiled.

"The new official took office with three fires, but he still installed it. Let's see how long you can hold on."
