Chapter 16 Investigation
This Wei Yuntian is really interesting.
He was originally an officer of the Black Dragon Guard, the most elite cavalry under Li Wanjiang's command. He is highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, but he only knows how to fight and has a straightforward personality, but he knows nothing about human relationships.
He repeatedly offended his boss and was given countless small shoes by others.
The brothers who fought side by side with him are at least a hundred after they come back, but he is a small general banner.
Later, the Black Dragon Guard was streamlined and reorganized, and a talent like him with such great military exploits was cut down. It was because a superior in the past couldn't see him, so he got him to be a small captain in the Jinyi Guard.
Finally, he had a bowl of rice to eat, and he was not directly sent back to farm.
With that boss taking care of him, he could still have a bright future, but unexpectedly, his boss died of a relapse of his old injury.
He has no backer, is ignorant of world affairs, has an arrogant personality, doesn't know how to flatter, and often contradicts the superiors, so the situation in Jinyiwei can be imagined to be difficult.
Zhuge Xiaosheng is also a bit interesting, he is still a candidate, but a former candidate.
On the way to the capital to take the exam, the war suddenly broke out... It was very sad.
After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all kinds of talents were needed. Relying on his extraordinary knowledge, he managed to obtain a civil position in the Jinyiwei Experience Department.
However, because he had served as an eunuch in the previous court, he was secretly reported, saying that he missed the old kindness and the old master, so he was not suitable to work in that kind of secret yamen.
As a result, he was thrown in the Jingjie Division and made a low-level copywriter.
It sounds like a depressed person.
Including Wen Shanchang.
This person has excellent medical skills, but he didn't do well in the imperial hospital, because what he is here is the sophistication of the world, but it is not the level of medical skills.
The better you are, the more jealous you are, especially from your peers.
As we all know, only the hatred between peers is red.
So a desperate investigation team was formally established.
Everyone gathered, but they didn't know where Eunuch Xiao was going to investigate?
Xiao Chen just looked at the sky, it was almost noon, let's eat first!
You can't let the brothers do errands on an empty stomach, right?
Looking at the table of chicken, duck and fish, Wei Yun Tiantian swallowed a mouthful of saliva consciously, looking greedy.
"So the food in your father-in-law's house is so good?" The question was also very impolite.
"It's just ordinary food, and there are no delicacies from mountains and seas. What's better?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't it good to have fish and meat? It's been a long time since I've had any meat, and the birds have faded out of my mouth."
Wei Yuntian grinned.
What an honest man.
"Impossible, is the food of your Jinyiwei so poor, can't you eat bran and swallow vegetables every day?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"It's not enough to eat bran-swallowed vegetables, but it's just a full stomach. Every meal of vegetables, tofu, and brown rice is enough."
Zhuge Xiaosheng sighed.
"Tianniang's family eats delicious food, drinks hot food, and has oily water when they do business. They are not welcome like us, so they can only eat those swill pig food!"
Wei Yuntian was full of complaints.
"Hehe, so that's the case. This is really unexpected, but the two of you followed me to complete this errand, and I guarantee that you will also have good fortune."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"But I don't know what was stolen?"
Zhuge Xiaosheng asked.
"Eat, you're welcome, talk while eating!"
Xiao Chen didn't take Zhuge Xiaosheng's words, but took a large piece of pork knuckle for Wei Yuntian with his chopsticks.
"It's just that we have to run errands later and can't drink. When we finish our errands, we must get drunk with our brothers!"
"Haha, I really don't want to watch my father-in-law's food, but I have heard about his deeds against the barbarian country, which made me really admire. When I saw you today, I didn't expect that you are also a straightforward person, and you are quite in line with my temper." Just rush here, we two brothers have to finish the errand for you!"
Wei Yuntian picked up the pig's trotter and gnawed it until his mouth was full of oil.
Wen Shanchang also ate happily. It seems that his food in Taiyuan Hospital is not very good. Zhuge Xiaosheng eats Xiangsiwen, chewing slowly, but he never stops his chopsticks...
"Concubine Zhang is pregnant." Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Xiao Chen said slowly, "It's not the emperor's dragon."
"Ah? Father-in-law, can you say it again?" Wei Yuntian was eating a large bowl of rice with pig's trotters, and was shocked when he heard this remark, and sprayed Xiao Chen's face with rice grains from his mouth.
"Concubine Zhang is pregnant for three months. When the queen heard about this, she was furious, so she asked her brother to investigate the matter thoroughly. It is too difficult for one brother alone, so she asked the two of you to come and help."
Xiao Chen was not angry either, he took the towel handed over by Xiao Li and wiped his face, still smiling.
"Elder-in-law, if you talk about things, the two of us should leave first?" Xiao Lizi and Xiao Fengzi also changed their expressions greatly, regretting in their hearts.
It turned out that what Xiao Chen discussed with several people was such a confidential matter, can you listen to this matter?
It might be fatal!
If I knew it earlier, I would have avoided it. If I had to leave now, I'm afraid it would be too late.
"You are all my confidantes, it doesn't hurt to listen, just don't go out and spread rumors, you know?" Xiao Chen smiled kindly.
"Hey!" The two agreed, but their hearts were agitated and uneasy. Doesn't Eunuch Xiao know that we are actually the people of Chief Zhang?
But it's not your confidant either.
Zhuge Xiaosheng's expression was as usual, as if he had expected it long ago, and said unhurriedly: "Then where does the father-in-law want to investigate?"
"In your opinion?" Xiao Chen asked back.
"This matter is related to the dignity of the palace. We can't make a big fanfare. We can only investigate secretly. Try to minimize the impact. It is best to handle the matter quietly."
"Xiaosheng, it's easy for you to say! How can there be any secrecy when doing things in the palace?" Wei Yuntian said loudly.
"Hey, I don't think this thing happened in the palace." Zhuge Xiaosheng smiled enigmatically.
Xiaosheng, why did you say that?
Appreciate further details.
"Cuihua Palace only has eunuchs and maids, but there are no guards on duty, and the imperial army is not in the inner city. How can idle men get in?" Zhuge Xiaosheng knew the situation in the palace very well.
"It's true. The eunuchs are all worthless, but they can't do this. They are powerless. The main reason is, hahaha..."
Wei Yuntian laughed heartlessly.
Zhao Gongming, Xiao Lizi, and Xiao Fengzi glared at him together.
"Oh, I forgot that Eunuch Xiao and you are also... guilty, damn it, slap your mouth!" Only then did Wei Yuntian realize his slip of the tongue, and raised his hand to slap himself.
"Hehe, what you said, Yun Tian, is also true, that's fine, but don't talk nonsense outside after this." Xiao Chen didn't care.
"Yes yes yes, Eunuch Xiao, you are really a lot of adults, adults don't remember the faults of villains!" Wei Yuntian was extremely embarrassed, his face was flushed red.
In my heart, I admire Xiao Chen's demeanor very much.
"How did you live in the palace for so long?" Zhao Gongming said angrily.
"Alas... I see that I've come to the end of my life now." Wei Yuntian sighed.
Several people knew what he meant by this, because everyone was considered to be the insider of this bad thing, no matter how the matter was handled in the end, they might be killed and silenced.
They looked at Xiao Chen silently together.
