Chapter 709 Relaxing (Fifth Watch)

PS: Today is only the fifth watch, ashamed.

"You can retreat now." Xu Huande said.

Chu Li frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the Secret Guard Mansion will get into big trouble."

The Secret Guard Mansion can also be regarded as one of his backers, the most important source of news, if there is no Secret Guard Mansion, he will not be able to see and hear well, which will hinder his future plans. He has been arranging eyes and ears for the future.

Others look at one move, he looks at ten moves, and arrange some idle chess, which will play a role at critical times.

Xu Huande said: "It's really not going to work, I'll let you go out again."

Chu Li said: "I don't need too long, I can finish the investigation in a day."

"Huh—?" Xu Huande was taken aback: "One day?"

Chu Li nodded: "Enough!"

Xu Huande frowned and remained silent.

Chu Li said: "And it won't disturb too many people, and it won't cause a storm all over the city."

Xu Huande hesitated.

He couldn't help being moved, it was really a great blessing to be able to finish the investigation in one day, it could minimize the courtiers' dissatisfaction with the Secret Guard Mansion, let them admire, there was nothing to say, and the Secret Guard Mansion could feel proud for a while.

Chu Li said: "Send someone who is familiar with the military department to follow me. It is best to be familiar with everyone in the military department and have some friendship."

"……one day?"

"yes."

"...Okay." Xu Huande finally gritted his teeth, hesitated and said: "Originally, the commander and I planned to let you hide your strength and bide your time."

"It's good to finish this matter." Chu Li said.

"Alas..." Xu Huande shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm still not strong enough, well, I'll leave it to you!"

Chu Li clasped his fists together and said with a smile: "I'm just talking about who has a problem. As for how to investigate, it's better to leave it to the Secret Guard House and let other courtyards come."

"Well, this is the best." Xu Huande nodded and said, "You won't be in the limelight that much."

Chu Li nodded.

——

Chu Li followed a head of the Ministry of War into the office of the Ministry of War.

There are two streets between the Ministry of War and the Secret Guard's Mansion, not far away, but they never communicate with each other.

All the yamen are like this, they treat the Secret Guard Mansion like a scourge, fearing that they will never get in touch with it, but they are somewhat in awe.

The Secret Guard Mansion found a head of the Ministry of War, surnamed Ji, called Ji Jiang, a chubby old man in his fifties with a big smile.

Ji Jiang looked very friendly, it was hard to believe that he was also killed out of the army, although the status of the principal was not high, he had a wide network of contacts.

Ji Jiang led Chu Li to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and said with a smile, "Director Chu, everyone may have a bad face, but it's only aimed at the Secret Guard Mansion, not you, General Manager Chu, so don't mind."

Chu Li walked side by side with him with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "I understand that it's commonplace to be cold-faced and sarcastic, but this way it seems open-hearted, but I admire it."

"Haha, that's good, that's good." Ji Jiang laughed.

The two entered a gate, and then entered from the first courtyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they first started with the people in the courtyard, introduced them to Chu Li, and then introduced Chu Li to them.

What Chu Li usually received was white eyes and a cold face.

Ji Jiang turned his head to look at Chu Li from time to time, for fear that he would turn his back on him and leave.

Chu Li didn't change his face, as if he didn't see the faces and white eyes of these people, he just nodded and smiled calmly, going in and out from one yard to another, calmly and calmly.

Ji Jiang felt more and more guilty and worried, so calm and calm, it was really abnormal.

It's normal to jump like thunder. Young people are full of anger and temper, and lose their temper at every turn. Ji Jiang understands this very well, but Chu Li is so calm, the depth of the city can be seen.

He didn't believe that someone could face such a cold face and white eyes and still not take it to heart. He took it to heart but didn't show it. He made a serious note in his heart, and then found a chance to return it.

Before coming to the last courtyard, Ji Jiang said with a smile: "This is our most inconspicuous one, and it's full of principals like me, and I'm here too."

Chu Li nodded and entered the courtyard.

There were more than 20 people in a small courtyard, and there was a busy atmosphere. When they saw Chu Li and Ji Jiang, they just glanced curiously and continued to work on their own.

Ji Jiang introduced Chu Li one by one, and then led him out of the courtyard.

It took the two of them an hour to transfer to the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Chu Li and Ji Jiang bid farewell with fists in their hands, and returned to the Secret Guard Mansion.

When he came to Mei Eryuan, everyone was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field. Seeing him coming back, Yang Zongwen and Qin Jin came over, and the rest continued to practice.

"Centurion, are you finished?" Yang Zongwen asked.

Chu Li nodded: "The pen and ink will serve you."

Yang Zongwen polished the inkstone, arranged the pen and plain paper, and Qin Jin watched from the side.

Chu Li picked up a pen and wrote down three names, and then marked Dali, Dazheng, and Dafu respectively, put down the pen, picked up the plain paper and blew air, dried the ink and handed it to Yang Zongwen: "Send it to Commander Xu. "

Yang Zongwen glanced in surprise: "Centurion, are they all traitors?"

Chu Li nodded.

Yang Zongwen was surprised: "Is this Ji Jiang too?"

Chu Li nodded.

Yang Zongwen said in disbelief: "He was promoted from Western Xinjiang by virtue of his military exploits. He hasn't been promoted for many years. How could he be a traitor..."

Chu Li smiled and said, "Whether he is, you can find out if you check carefully."

"Yes." Yang Zongwen sighed helplessly: "It's really unexpected, it's simply impossible."

Chu Li said: "It's only when you can't think of it that you are smart. Don't worry about the rest, just leave it to Commander Xu. Let others check it."

"Alas..." Yang Zongwen sighed, got up and left.

He came to the hall of the Secret Guard Mansion, and after seeing Xu Huande, he presented a plain note with both hands: "Commander Xu, this is what the centurion ordered me to submit."

Xu Huande sat in the grand teacher's chair, took it casually, glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and he straightened up.

Yang Zongwen knew that he must be surprised, and so was he.

Xu Huande frowned and said, "This Ji Jiang..."

Yang Zongwen said: "The centurion is very sure, and said that it can be found out as long as one checks carefully."

"That must be investigated!" Xu Huande said in a deep voice: "If he is really the internal response of the master, it will be really troublesome."

Ji Jiang is a chief officer of the Ministry of War. He is smooth and humble. He is popular and well-connected. He is one of the eyeliners of the Secret Guard Mansion. He usually provides more information and also gets some information from the Secret Guard Mansion.

If he really belonged to Da Fu, it would be a great irony, and the Miwei Mansion would lose all face!

Xu Huande said: "Okay, he doesn't have to worry about the rest, just leave it to the mansion, let him retreat and practice."

"Yes." Yang Zongwen bid farewell with fists in his hands.

Xu Huande stared at Su Jian and shook his head.

The dignified yamen of the Ministry of Military Affairs actually got in three internal officers, and their positions were not low. If they didn't find out, if things go on like this, in another ten or twenty years, maybe these people will sit in high positions and become another Yuanwailang!

This time, no matter what, we have to check clearly, even if the city is full of wind and rain, this matter is too important. At the beginning, these people had passed three layers of audits, and their identities were absolutely fine, but it turned out to be the case.

Chu Li put all these aside and went back to his small courtyard in Prince An's Mansion. Manager Chu came over in a hurry and handed over an invitation card, which belonged to Miss Yuqing of Qingyun Tower.
