Whether he or Cheng Xi, who has been following his master for so many years, how could he not know?

"I just thought that if I go out on the road today, I'd better dress up in a decent manner," Eunuch Tong said again, "so that it won't stain your eyes."

Jin Guiren lowered his eyes and looked at Eunuch Tong for a moment.

Many images flashed through his mind, images that were buried deep in his memory and he thought he would never recall them again.

For a long time, he said word by word: "You don't have to be so active. Feng Chang doesn't know you, so why are you worried about him? I'm not worried at all."

Eunuch Tong was overjoyed and suddenly raised his head: "Master?!"

"Go back and stay there," Jin Guiren said. "Don't do unnecessary things, and you can live for a long time. Let Cheng Xi come in."

Eunuch Tong kowtowed repeatedly and withdrew with great gratitude.

Cheng Xi was outside, but he didn't hear what was said inside. Seeing Eunuch Tong's happy expression at this moment, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Is everything okay?"

"It's okay!" Eunuch Tong was very excited, but he still remembered to suppress his voice, "Master asked me to stay here. I will go back soon. Also, Master asked you to come in."

When you come, your steps are heavy, and when you go, your steps are light.

Seeing the joy in his eyes, he was also very excited.

He took a deep breath and calmed down before pushing the door open and entering.

Jin Guiren asked: "Let someone ask Wang Gouzi carefully what else Feng Chang said."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he murmured in his heart.

Wang Gouzi must have reported everything he knows, and he will take the initiative to report if there are any gains in the future. There is actually no need to come forward and ask.

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Xi shrank his neck when he saw his master looking down at him.

"You just have to do whatever I tell you." Jin Guiren said.

Cheng Xi: "I understand, little one."

After exiting the room, Cheng Xi scratched his forehead.

yes.

The master has his own considerations.

He couldn't figure it out because he was stupid. There was no need for the master to explain everything to him one by one.

A few more days will pass.

Li Shao's tenure in the Ministry of Rites officially ended.

In the afternoon of this day, Feng Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites followed Li Shao and Xu Jian to the imperial study room to make a summary of His Highness's observation of politics during these days.

Feng Shangshu is an old man. Six points are good and three points are even. There is still one point to improve. His words are appropriate and stable.

Even if Li Shao thought he was a good person in his heart, he would not boast about it in the Imperial Study Room, and he would humbly accept Feng Shangshu's "fair" evaluation.

The Holy Emperor asked Li Shao a few more questions and then asked Li Shao to return to Yuqing Palace first.

After that, he asked Feng Shangshu again: "I and Duke Fu are the only ones left here. Feng Aiqing can just say whatever he wants."

A drop of sweat almost fell from Feng Shangshu's forehead.

Fortunately, he had been watching for many years and had rich experience. He considered the Holy Spirit's attitude and added some content before passing the test.

Feng Shangshu stood up and resigned, and Xu Jian was kept by the emperor.

Knowing that there must be something important, he was not in a hurry, and drank tea slowly, waiting for Eunuch Cao to send Feng Shangshu back.

The day before yesterday, he went to find Eunuch Tong, who was in charge of the palace banquet, and asked everyone in the palace who had the same surname as Tong. He also asked if he knew who "Monkey Face" was. Eunuch Tong thought hard for a while and then shook his head.

I had no clue, but fortunately, Eunuch Tong knew the importance of the matter very well and even took the initiative to tell him that he would not say a word to anyone else.

Not long after, Eunuch Cao came back.

The Holy Master nodded slightly and motioned for him to speak to Xu Jian.

"My lord," Cao Gongzheng said, "everyone who has anything to do with Wang Gouzi points to Yongji Palace in the end."

Xu Jian frowned.

There are many considerations in letting Wang Gouzi stay with Li Shao. The two most important points are naturally "not to alert the snake" and "to follow the clues".

Just this result...

Surprising, but not that surprising.

"Eunuch Cao has been investigating for so long, so there should be no mistakes." Xu Jian said.

Eunuch Cao smiled softly.

Keeping track is not an easy task. You have to be unnoticed, not only if you are too close, but also if you are too far away.

After watching for so many months, Eunuch Cao gave simple orders, but the people working underneath were really hardworking. Who knew when that bitch would come to do this?

Besides, just saying a few words to someone in private is not just conveying a message. You have to eliminate the wrong ones and focus on the right ones.

Once you find a joint, you can comb through the next one.

After going through four different hands, they determined the identities of these four people, found out their names, whereabouts, and what jobs they had held, and finally found Yongji Palace.

Seeing Xu Jian's solemn expression, Eunuch Cao asked, "Do you have any doubts, Duke Guo?"

"It's not a question of doubt," Xu Jian said, "Eunuch Cao will not be mistaken about the origin of the other party if he investigates it so completely. It's just that it might be a cover-up."

"A blind trick?" The Holy Master raised his brow slightly, "How do you say it?"

Xu Jian thought about it and said: "I still have my original thoughts. It has been more than ten years since you ascended the throne and became the emperor. It doesn't seem like Zhu Chang would be so stupid as to come against you for the sake of Yongji Palace.

If Wang Gouzi is from Yongji Palace, it would make sense to find out like this.

But if he is the subordinate of the person behind the scenes, and that person dares to directly ask His Highness to transfer the dog from Yongji Palace, then the series of arranged contacts will definitely point to Yongji Palace.
