"Duke, could it be that... you know that Huo Lianqi?"
In name, he is of course a subordinate, and the title of "Thousands of Hundreds of Households" is a military position. In fact, it is different from being a fan, so the matter is very important, and he may not be able to bear even a small amount of responsibility. Gong Qianhu thought for a while, and then asked directly, He glanced at Ma Shunde secretly.
"Huo Lianqi?"
After hearing Gong Qianhu's inquiry, Ma Shunde came back to his senses, glanced at the cautious Qianhu, and immediately understood what he was thinking.
Practically speaking, if it had been in the past, maybe I would have made a note of it and given him some shoes to wear.
Are you really a governor, not a public official?
But at this time, Ma Shunde held a cup of tea and sighed in silence. An irrepressible depression enveloped the great eunuch.
Seeing the surprised look on Gong Qianhu's face, he closed his eyes as if reminiscing. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "My family has indeed heard of this name, but I can't remember it for the moment."
His tone was much calmer than before.
Gong Qianhu didn't expect that Ma Shunde, a senior eunuch, had actually heard of the name he asked from the informant?
However, judging from the meaning, it seems that he is not very familiar, and it may even be a name that he has heard a long time ago. Otherwise, with the memory of the eunuch serving in front of the emperor, it is unlikely that he could not remember who this person was after recalling it. .
It's quite telling that his name can be left in the mind of the great eunuch as a person from a long time ago.
Gong Qianhu was startled: "Could it be..."
He subconsciously wanted to say, could it be the former prince's old department?
But he swallowed these words in time.
Although it was just a casual guess, if this guess was made in front of the eunuch in front of the emperor, then the emperor would be angry.
Things related to the former prince, the one-bedroom taboo, even in recent times, has been a big taboo, and people who mention it will most likely be in bad luck.
As for collusion and involvement, Gong Qianhu had no doubts. Ma Shunde had an innocent background. He had repeatedly demonstrated that it was impossible to have close contact with the prince or even the King of Qi.
The emperor's slave, this is the way to die.
Gong Qianhu bowed and said, "I see, this really makes me enlightened!"
He turned around, let out a sigh, and immediately ordered the person who was checking the files: "Go to the official file office and check this Huo Lianqi!"
"yes!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, he shouted again: "First check the files of fifth grade and above!"
"yes!"
To be able to let Ma Shunde hear it, it is better than an ordinary person, at least a fifth-grade official or above.
Even if Gong Qianhu didn't remind him, the people he sent to search the files must be the files of fifth-rank officials and above, and they would be the first targets to be searched.
Ma Shunde nodded after hearing this.
Although I couldn't remember where I heard this name, Huo Lianqi was most likely a fifth-rank or above officer.
The reason is very simple. Although my status was not that high before, where is the palace?
It is where the entire center is located and can be heard, either for a major case that causes a stir in the government and the public, or for someone with an official rank of five or above.
If there is a major case that stirs up the ruling and opposition parties, it is unlikely that they will not be remembered because of its rarity.
There is a high probability that he will be an officer of rank five or above.
Come to think of it, how could someone who has anything to do with Prince Qi's house be a white man?
The more he thought about it, the more Ma Shunde felt that this was the case.
But then I thought again, no matter what I could find out, it couldn't change the possibility of being a "crow" in front of the emperor.
This thought together made Ma Shunde couldn't help but feel a heavy heart. He held the tea cup tightly and smiled coldly: "Check carefully, there must be any omissions, be careful with your skin!"
The people below trembled when they heard this, their faces turned pale, and they quickly responded: "Yes, I must check the files carefully in a humble position, and I don't dare to neglect it at all!"
Ma Shunde lowered his eyes, luckily, and stopped talking.
With this said, the number of people sent by Gong Qianhu to check the archives increased by two hundred households, totaling more than a dozen people.
The archives is actually not far away, with three rooms.
, I saw large cabinets all around, and in addition were bookshelves, piled high with papers, each marked with bookmarks.
"Everyone, listen, let's look for it in the existing official registration first!"
There are many types of files. The main categories include events and people. Let’s start with the people section.
"Secondly, look for it from level 5 or above!"
"Here is the profile. If you find it, report it and then go to the Ministry of Etiquette and Ouchi documents to find it. My father-in-law and your lord are waiting, even the emperor is waiting. Be quick and be careful. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" More than a dozen people understood clearly. They immediately took out the documents, divided them into dozens of stacks, and quickly scanned them.
But it is not easy for more than a dozen people to quickly search through the files for officials of fifth rank and above.
Ma Shunde stayed in the front hall to wait for the results. Gong Qianhu didn't want to stay and be disliked by the governor, so he also went to the archives room.
Looking inside from the door, I saw people everywhere in the archives room, but there were clearly more than a dozen people inside, but I could hardly hear any sound. If I walked a few steps forward, I could only hear the rustling of papers. sound.
Judging from the appearance of the dozen or so people inside, it might not be easy to find "Huo Lianqi".
Gong Qianhu couldn't help but sigh. As a Qianhu, how could he not know that the information about King Qi's rebellion was extremely important?
Can we find the latest clues as soon as possible? This will not only save Ma Du Gong, but also save the people involved like them!
In fact, there is no merit in this kind of thing, it can only reduce trouble.
I hope the emperor can give you a little more time...
However, the matter is so big that once the emperor gets the news, he is afraid that he will ask about it immediately.
early morning
It's raining outside and the sky is dark. Although it's not so dark that you can't see your fingers, it's almost no time for people to travel.
The palace door, which would never be opened at this moment, opened wide, and a group of people on fast horses galloped towards the Imperial City Secretary's position in the city.
There were no pedestrians on the road, and the rain was getting heavier. The people on horseback didn't care about anything else. They just put on their hats and quickly arrived at their destination. They got off their horses one by one and walked towards the gate.
"Who are you!" Seeing a group of people rushing in, the gatekeeper rushed over to stop them.
"Stop your dog eyes! This is Eunuch Hu! I'm here with the Holy Order!" The leader didn't speak at all and remained indifferent, while others scolded him coldly.
Hearing this cold shout, he was startled when he stopped someone. Looking carefully, he found that the leader was really Hu Huaian. He hurriedly moved out of the way, regardless of the rain and wetness, and knelt on one side: "It's dark, little man. See clearly, please forgive me..."
This group of people didn't listen at all, and went in with a cold snort. Fanzi wanted to ask for permission, but after looking at the arrogant expressions of this group of people, he muttered without saying anything. He just patted his cheeks and nodded, but still let him know. People feel confused.
At this time, Eunuch Hu suddenly came with his men in a menacing manner. Could it be that something was going to happen here?
He was from the Imperial City Department, and he had to do a lot of errands, so he thought of this immediately.
"But it's none of my business!"
