Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 62 The court meeting begins.

"You boy!"

Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, all the worries in his mind were gone, enjoying the service of his men, and said, "It's a pity that you entered the palace with your body cleansed, otherwise you would be a good material for being an official! Now time is tight, if these people who were picked out fail to cooperate and make things worse, and the nobles in the palace hear about it, what will happen?"

"Why should the governor worry?"

"A big incident has already happened at the palace gate today. No matter what we do tonight, no matter how big a commotion we make, can it be bigger than the assassination of the queen?"

While adjusting the strength of kneading and beating, the young eunuch said, "Besides, isn't it better if we don't let the palace know about the outside world?"

Yu Huatian seemed moody and kicked the young eunuch away.

He said angrily, "You damned thing, how could you hide something from the queen?"

The young eunuch quickly straightened his body and knelt on the ground, his face serious without flattery, and said in a deep voice: "That is of course a murder, and the queen must not know about it! From beginning to end, this matter was all my own decision, and the queen knew nothing about it!"

what!
Yes, yes!

It turns out that this is the reason why Her Majesty shortened the time limit!

It was these slaves who wanted to kill people and do dirty things. It was Yu Huatian who was eager for quick success and quick profit, and acted cruelly and unscrupulously! The queen was a phoenix in the world, warm and gentle. Let alone doing such a thing, just thinking about it was slander!
Thinking of this, it was now Yu Huatian's turn to take the blame.

"You know, if there is an oversight in this matter, and the person under investigation has no suspicion of smuggling or colluding with the enemy, then we will be punished!" Just like the problem that has always been unavoidable, the time is too short! Even if we fabricate evidence, we can't prepare in time. If the arrested person has some stubborn bones and is holding on to bite back after dawn, then...
Yu Huatian clenched his hands, his heart was filled with malice.
"Commander-in-chief! It's better to strike first. Time waits for no one!"

The young eunuch shouted, "Now is the time to notify the Royal Guards, and then go to Jingzhao Prefecture to forcibly arrest the chief steward, and then transfer to the Shangshu Mansion. Since we are going to do it, we must do it thoroughly, and we must not let the Queen and His Majesty be disappointed in you, the Governor!"

When the young eunuch reminded him, Yu Huatian was shocked and understood something.

That's right!

I am a eunuch in the palace. The trust of His Majesty and the Queen is the most important. Everything else is insignificant. No matter if he is a second-rank official or a prince from a side branch, the Queen will protect me from the wind and rain!
"You are right. We must not let His Majesty and His Majesty down!"

Just as he was about to stand up and walk towards the Jinyiwei, another young eunuch came in from outside and reported urgently: "Governor, there are people from Jingzhao Prefecture outside the door, escorting the chief steward involved in the Xishan Mine case!"

Yu Huatian looked at the kneeling eunuch and something moved his heart.

What was this Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Yuan Xinxiong doing? Just as he was wondering, the young eunuch who came to report quickly walked up to Yu Huatian's ear and whispered, "The news from the palace is that Jinwu Guard Wang Rong and Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Yuan Xinxiong have been rewarded by His Majesty for their meritorious reporting."

After waving his hand and letting the young eunuch go away, Yu Huatian finally understood what was going on.

Very good, this most difficult and toughest hurdle has been solved by the Empress. If we don't do it efficiently, we will be neglecting the Emperor's business.
A figure as fast as the wind passed by the young eunuch kneeling on the ground, and Yu Huatian asked calmly: "What was your original full name?"

The young eunuch was delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "To answer the governor, my original name is Wang Qu."

"We will remember you!"

Nodding, Yu Huatian headed outside the yamen, and a voice came back, "Afterwards, our family will ask the queen for a reward for you. It depends on whether you have the blessing to be given a name by the queen!"

"Thank you very much, Commander! Thank you very much, Madam!"

"Send some people to do the work." The people had already gone far away, leaving the young eunuch who was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
-
Jinyiwei General Office.

Shen Zhong has now become the head of the place, and he did not delay. The moment after the decree came down, he moved his office into the largest room, which was really spacious, bright, grand and majestic.

Although the responsibility for the assassination of the queen today lies with the poor management of local public security by Jingzhao Prefecture and the lax patrol of the city by the Jinwu Guards, it is difficult to say that I, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, am not without responsibility. Not to mention that it was later found out that the leader of the assassins was the Nanqing secret agent, so he cannot be separated from the responsibility!
It should be noted that the Jinyiwei was the intelligence department of Northern Qi, which was comparable to the Supervisory Council of Qing. Now someone had sneaked into the imperial city and tried to assassinate Concubine De. What should he do?

However, bad things came one after another.

"My lord! My lord! Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"

Before Shen Zhong could get angry, he saw the general Lu Xinghe running in quickly, sliding down on one knee, holding his fists in front of his head and shouting: "Someone from the palace has come to summon Miss Shen from the master's mansion to the palace for an audience. It's late now, and no one has left the palace to return home! There is also a piece of news. Yes. Yes."

At this time, Shen Zhong's handsome middle-aged face was extremely gloomy, and he said angrily: "Speak! Why are you hesitating? "

"There's news from the palace that the assassin was sent by Eunuch Cao. His name is Yan Bingyun, and he's the son of Yan Ruohai, the head of the Nanqing Supervisory Council. He had close contact with Miss Shen and had frequent exchanges with her. He lived in the small courtyard in the north of the city under your name!"

Bang!
Shen Zhong could no longer hold on and slid down on the chair, feeling limp and powerless as if all his bones had been pulled out.

The hypocritical expression on that handsome face could no longer be controlled and was replaced by a bitter smile.

He was not surprised, but more relieved and disappointed with his sister: he had noticed that something was wrong with his sister Wan'er a few days ago. In the mansion, she was not only much more cheerful, but also had an indelible smile on her face, just like a little girl falling in love.

As the eldest brother, he is now in power in the court.

All I need to do is cling to His Majesty and Concubine De's thighs and everything will be fine. Naturally, there is no need for my sister to arrange any marriage.

He sincerely wanted his sister to be happy, and after asking twice without getting an answer, he just left his sister to her own devices.
No idea!
My sister misunderstood me~
"Did the palace say anything else?" Shen Zhong forced himself to remain calm, holding Lu Xinghe's wrist and asked.

"It's strange anyway."

Lu Xinghe carefully recalled the words of the young eunuch who sent the letter, "The person who came only mentioned this matter, but did not mention anything else, and said that Miss Shen would stay in the palace today, this..."

He let go of Lu Xinghe's hand, his eyes wandered and he thought for a moment.

"Go! Go and gather all the people from the headquarters!"

"Let's go to the West Factory!"

"Assist Eunuch Yu in solving the case!"

Lu Xinghe responded in a deep voice, and was about to leave when he heard Shen Zhong say again: "Wait, I'll leave this matter to you. You should do whatever Eunuch Yu tells you to do! No matter what the order is!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Seeing Lu Xinghe leave, Shen Zhong straightened his robes, left the house and headed in another direction alone, without even taking a carriage.
It seems that he has other matters to attend to.

The night is meant for people to rest, but few people know that many important things cannot be done during the day.

The city of Shangjing was suddenly in turmoil and undercurrents were surging.

Time passes slowly.

Soon, with the sound of roosters crowing, this ancient yet lively city woke up again.

The palace door is wide open.

The meeting has begun
