My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 228
Qin He was promoted again.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are very few young officials who have reached the fourth rank in their thirties, and Qin He can be said to be one of the best.

But Shen Yuan's wife did not feel happy, and even the joy of being rewarded was much lighter.

Dayong's "Xiao Yiwei" agency is the same as the "Jin Yiwei" of the Ming Dynasty, and they are both military and political spy agencies.

The "Owl Guards" are in charge of prisons, have the power of inspection and arrest, and are also involved in collecting military intelligence. They have such great power and responsibilities that they can "act with the camera, kill first and report later". They are a terrifying existence.

At the same time, this is also a very offending department.

Ordinary people feared the word "Owl Yiwei" like tigers and wolves, while civil and military officials avoided him like snakes and scorpions. In short, he was very unpopular.

Shen Yuan even suspected that the emperor was deliberately causing trouble in order to retaliate for Qin He's "disobedience", so he arranged for him to serve as the deputy commander of the "Xiao Yiwei" as a punishment.

However, there is also an advantage to this matter, that is, Qin He is even more difficult to mess with.

"It is better to offend the King of Hell than to offend Xiao Yiwei" is not only a slang, but also a fact.

Especially for officials, no one can guarantee that the bottom of their buttocks is absolutely clean, and there is no guarantee that one day they will not fall into the hands of Xiao Yiwei, so they usually try not to offend them.

Otherwise, if he commits a crime one day and falls into the hands of Xiao Yiwei, it will definitely be a life worse than death.

The people in the "Xiaoyiwei" are somewhat perverted, protective and vengeful. It is true that they are the least popular and the least offended.

Emperor Qianyuan suddenly transferred Qin He from the Forbidden Army to the Xiaoyi Guards. There must be a deep meaning in it. I wonder what the emperor was planning in his heart?
Shen Yuan was very curious and asked directly: "Husband, do you know what your Majesty means?"

Qin He has the ability to read minds, and the emperor's true thoughts cannot be hidden from him.

"Recently, the Ministry of War found out that someone was secretly selling new weapons to the Northern Territory at the border. Your Majesty wants me to investigate the case thoroughly."

Qin He did know the inside story. At the moment when the emperor appointed him as the deputy commander of the Xiaoyi Guards in Qinzheng Palace, he heard His Majesty's voice.

Shen Yuan was shocked: "Isn't this considered a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason? What idiot, this is asking for money rather than life."

She couldn't understand why some people would dare to take risks like this, a serious crime that would kill nine tribes.

Qin He sneered, "It may not necessarily be the Dayong people, but it may also be the work of a traitor from the Northern Territory. This kind of traitor usually lurks among the people or in the court for decades, ready to attack, and it is difficult to guard against it."

Shen Yuan immediately understood: This is an international spy, and catching spies is indeed the responsibility of Xiaoyiwei.

Moreover, this job is very suitable for Qin He. No matter how deeply hidden the traitor is, he will not be able to hide from him.Shen Yuan couldn't help but joke, "Your Majesty, this can be regarded as an accident. People have been put to their best use."

Qin He just smiled and said nothing. Another thing happened that deviated from the original trajectory.

He had never entered Xiao Yiwei in his previous life, and of course there had never been anyone selling weapons in his previous life.

This matter started because of Shen Yuan, and His Majesty sent himself to put an end to it, so everything has its own destiny.

After thinking for a moment, Qin He suddenly said: "I'm afraid I have to leave Beijing for a while."

"Are you going to the northern border to investigate the case?" Shen Yuan reacted immediately.

Since the weapons reselling case occurred in Northern Xinjiang, Qin He must go to the place where the incident occurred to look for clues.

Qin He nodded silently: "Master Wu is here in Beijing to conduct interrogations, and we have to go to the border to check."

"When will the departure be?"

"According to His Majesty's wishes, the sooner the better. Once I officially take over the position of deputy commander of the Xiaoyi Guards, I'm afraid His Majesty's decree will come down, and it will be in the next few days."

Shen Yuan was surprised, "In such a hurry?"

Qin He was helpless, "This matter has been going on secretly for a long time, and His Majesty has been angry for a long time."

"Well, I heard that the people in the North are rude and arrogant, advocate force and do not follow morality and etiquette. You should be more careful when you go."

Shen Yuan warned worriedly.

"I will be traveling with Princess Yumin and other envoys from the Northern Territory on this trip. The road should be relatively safe, so you don't have to worry."

Qin He said with relief.

Shen Yuan was surprised: "Why are you traveling with the envoy from the Northern Territory? Didn't Princess Yumin say she wanted to stay in Dayonghe and marry someone in person? Is she going back so soon? Or is she going back on her word?"

"I heard that Princess Yumin's biological mother, Princess Kitano, was seriously ill. She wanted to go back to visit her mother, so the marriage was postponed. I could use the excuse of escorting Princess Yumin back to cover me to go to the border to investigate the case." Qin He patiently said Explaining.

"That's it. Your Majesty really has left out everything." Shen Yuan smiled with understanding.
