Entering the palace from Xuanwu Gate, Zhao Shun followed the eunuch all the way.

The wide palace road can accommodate eight horses running side by side, and many eunuchs and maids are clearing the snow on the palace road.

A long string of icicles hung on the cornices and angled buildings on the fence, and the eunuch tiptoed to knock them down with a long bamboo pole.

If Zhao Shun hadn't known about the hateful existence in the court, Zhao Shun felt that the scene in front of him would have been calm.

The distance from Xuanwu Gate to Fengluan Hall was not too short, so Zhao Shun waited for half an hour for the notification from the inner supervisor.

Passing through the majestic Jinluan Hall and the majestic Wuying Hall, Zhao Shun stepped into the harem.

According to the rules of the palace, foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem.

However, due to Yu Wenji's reckless behavior, this rule has been abolished.

Turning and turning along the palace road, Fengluan Palace finally appeared in Zhao Shun's eyes.

When approaching Fengluan Hall, Zhao Shun vaguely saw a middle-aged woman in a phoenix embroidered dress hiding her face and crying in a pavilion on the snowy ground in the distance.

In the palace, other than the queen and queen mother, ordinary people cannot embroider phoenixes on their clothes.

Now that the little emperor is still young, naturally there will be no queen, Zhao Shun estimated that this woman is probably the queen mother.

After confirming the identity of the Queen Mother, a stern look appeared in Zhao Shun's eyes.

At the beginning, it was Wen Xian who helped the emperor to kill the emperor, and helped Yuwenji to kill the first emperor, which caused the palace change, and handed over the court to Yuwenji for ten years.

However, while being angry, Zhao Shun was also a little puzzled. Why did Wen Xian sit outside the Luanfeng Palace and cover her face and cry? Could it be that she and Yu Wenji still had a rift?

While thinking, the inner eunuch had brought Zhao Shun to the outside of Luanfeng Palace.

After the inner supervisor gave a notification, Zhao Shun entered the Luanfeng Hall alone.

"My minister has met the regent."

Zhao Shun made a long salute, looked at the floor without looking sideways, and met Yu Wenji with the etiquette of meeting the emperor.

Yu Wen smiled very satisfied, "Your Excellency Zhao, you don't need to be too polite, just wait and see."

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch brought Zhao Shun a small round chair.

"Thank you, Regent."

After thanking him, Zhao Shun half sat on the round chair with a tall and straight figure.

Yu Wenji looked at Zhao Shun, and saw that he was considered a good-looking talent, but the name he gave was really rustic.

"I heard that Zhao Aiqing came to present treasures today? Is that right?"

Zhao Shun squeezed out a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Actually, the humble minister is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and it's not really an offering of treasure."

While speaking, Zhao Shun took out a dossier and said in a frank and eloquent way: "The Regent remembers an old case about the Hong family in Qinghe Village in the north of the city."

Zhao Shun suddenly changed the topic, which made Yu Wenji frowned, and after thinking about Zhao Shun's words, Yu Wenji had some sporadic impressions.

"Remember, this king has a special set of mahjong, which was taken from this family."

Speaking of this matter, Yuwen was very dissatisfied. The mahjong set was deeply loved by him, but it should never have happened. There was one missing mahjong set, and now it can only be stored in the corner of the warehouse.

"What Zhao Aiqing said is related to this?"

Zhao Shun nodded, held up the scroll with both hands and said: "Not long ago, the Gyeonggi Prefecture caught a woman who was fighting with others. The Governor Gao Sheng was as careful as a hair, and found that this person was a distant relative of the Hong family, so he took her down. I plan to kill him soon."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenji frowned. He didn't understand why Zhao Shun went to the palace to tell himself about such a trivial matter.

Zhao Shun reached out his hand and said with a light smile, "In order to save her life, the captured woman said she wanted to exchange the treasure for her own life, so she handed over the treasure."

Zhao Shun spread out his palms, and the Xingchen Ziyu mahjong tile made Yu Wenji get up abruptly.

Walking quickly in front of Zhao Shun, Yu Wenji stretched out his hand to take the mahjong tiles, with the words '[-]' written on them impressively.

"Hahaha, it really is the 'it' card, but it has been missing for many years, I didn't expect it to be consummated today, so good."

Yu Wenji said three good words in a row, in a very satisfied tone.

At this time, Zhao Shun breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "His Royal Highness, since you like it, should the distant relatives of the Hong family be killed or kept?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Wenji restrained his smile and looked at Zhao Shun suspiciously.

"This is interesting. Ordinary courtiers will ask for credit from me at this time, and what you care about is the life and death of that woman. Why do you care about such a trivial person?"

The black eyes were sharp, Zhao Shun thought in his heart, this person is really sharp.

Zhao Shun got up and saluted, and said without changing his expression: "To tell you the truth, His Majesty the Regent, this girl and my family Zhuo Jing have the grace to save lives, so I made a special trip to the palace."

"Oh? Tell me?"

Yu Wenji sat back on the imperial concubine chair holding the star purple jade mahjong tile.

"Weichen's wife is quite accomplished in mahjong, and she met the Hongye girl in this case in Tianque Tower. Because she offended some people, the two of them were kidnapped. Thanks to this girl, Weichen's wife was able to escape. .”

Zhao Shun's account of the story is appropriate, it is true anyway, and he is not afraid of Yu Wenji to verify it.

Yuwen looked at him with a half-smile, and didn't take the story he told seriously, but instead asked, "What if this king wants to kill her?"

Zhao Shun's heart sank when he heard the words, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Naturally, the regent's idea is the most important thing. Fortunately, she is just a commoner girl, and the humble minister is just doing his best to obey the destiny."

Listening to the destiny, invisibly, Zhao Shun praised Yuwenji, and Yuwenji felt very happy, yes, his own destiny, a civilian girl with no status and background, can't make any waves if she keeps it.

"Zhao Aiqing is serious. This king is just joking with you again. This person will spare her the death penalty, but you have to remember that if she does something she shouldn't do in the future, this king will only ask you .”

Upon hearing the words, Zhao Shun hurriedly bowed, "I thank the Regent King for your kindness."

Yu Wenji held the missing star purple jade mahjong in his hand, and he was in a good mood, "Zhao Aiqing, you help me find my beloved, and I will reward you very much,"

"Prince Regent, this is not the work of the minister alone, and the Governor of Gyeonggi Province has also contributed a lot."

"Don't worry, I will remember it."

With a wave of his hand, Yu Wenji rewarded Zhao Shun with a thousand taels of silver and ten dendrobium pearls, and even Gao Sheng of Gyeonggi Province received a reward of 500 taels.

It took less than ten days for Zhao Shun to enter the official career and receive rewards for his meritorious service, but he did what many people could not do.

Gao Shengren of Gyeonggi Prefecture sat at home, rewarded from heaven, and after a while, he realized that this matter was related to Zhao Shun. Sure enough, Hongye's case was tricky.

Fortunately, he didn't meddle in other people's business, otherwise it would be a blessing or a curse.

The other person who almost dropped his jaw was the head of the Criminal Department.

He watched Zhao Shun correcting the files every day, as if he hadn't done anything special, but he suddenly got a huge reward.

"It's weird, it's weird!"
