Zhao An made an excuse to go to the latrine, giving the empress and Qian Yuwei a chance to be alone. As for whether she could persuade Qian Yuwei to do things for her, it all depends on her methods.
After a while, Zhao An picked up his belt and walked into Xiu Sanniang's room with ease.
She was secretly counting the gold leaves when she saw Zhao An suddenly barging in. She closed the small wooden box with a guilty conscience and swayed her waist to come closer.
Cui Shixiang has already found shops and workshops, and is currently recruiting workers. It won't be long before he can produce Seven Dimensional Space. As for soaps and perfumes, it will take a little longer because fragrant flowers are needed as raw materials.
Zhao An didn't say anything. He sat down at the table and held down her small vault. She quickly grabbed it with quick eyesight and hands.
"Don't be nervous, Sanniang, I have a business here, are you interested?"
"what business?"
"My Brother Long has someone in his family who is an official in the court, and you are dealing with high-ranking officials, so I would like to ask Sanniang to find a few trustworthy girls to collect some information, so that Brother Long can deal with the suppression of the officialdom in the future. Opportunity."
Zhao An directly took out a few banknotes and pressed them on the table.
Xiu Sanniang was startled, covered her mouth, and cursed in a low voice: "Little enemy, if you want to die, don't take me with you."
She seems timid...
Zhao An didn't know if he felt wrong. He always felt that this Xiu Sanniang was not simple.
This kind of place is best at collecting intelligence, and if you don't believe there is no intelligence trading behind the scenes.
Xiu Sanniang looked away guiltily, saying that she was in a small business.
"Hey, I was thinking that my relationship with Sanniang is good enough and I will give you new treasures for sale in the future. Since Sanniang is not interested, I'll leave."
Don't!
Xiu Sanniang couldn't sit still when she heard that there would be some good stuff in the future.
He hurriedly closed the door and looked much more serious, "Jiaofangsi did once do intelligence work, but no longer does it because the black factory was taken down and most people don't dare to collect information here."
It turns out that she is still related to the black industry.
What an unexpected bonus.
Zhao An took out another stack of treasure notes and gave her a list, asking her to check it carefully and keep the evidence.
When Zhao An said these words, she was secretly observing Xiu Sanniang's reaction, but her expression really changed when she saw the list.
Because all the people on the list are members of the Duke's government.
Soon, Xiu Sanniang concealed her mood swings and took away the treasure.
She is willing to do it, as long as there is enough money, she can go to the battle in person to find out the information.
"I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, can you really impeach these people?"
Xiu Sanniang was extremely curious.
Zhao An couldn't help laughing, "Who said I want to impeach? I just want to kill them, or be killed by them."
The words made Xiu Sanniang laugh.
She knew what the dignitaries looked like in the entire capital, but Zhao An was the only one she couldn't see through.
Next, Xiu Sanniang revealed the news, "Cui Shengmen is coming to Beijing. It is said that he is here for exchanges and discussions."
When Zhao An heard this, he slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted for it to come out!
Zheng was worried that he could not find a suitable way to deal with Chen Guogong, so the Cui family came in time.
Half an hour later, Zhao An and the empress slowly returned to the harem. Unfortunately, the empress did not reveal whether she had paid Qian Yuwei.
But judging from the disappointed look on her charming eyes, she must have learned some of the inside story about the Qianyu family's destruction from Qian Yuwei's mouth.
Although she didn't want to kill him, death in Chen Guogong's hands was equivalent to her authorization and approval.
Zhao An did not follow the empress back to Yangxin Palace, but went to Xiufang instead.
Previously, I had agreed with Cao Hai that I would select eunuchs today and send them to the East Palace for appointment.
A large house was filled with young people of many years, most of whom were sallow, thin, and malnourished.
Zhao An personally walked through the crowd and sifted through the crowd. When Cao Hai introduced whether Zhao An was the chief steward of the Imperial Palace or the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the newly arrived boys all looked horrified.
Zhao An chose all those who were good-looking. After all, there was no guarantee that one day he would need to use the beauty trick, so the more handsome the better.
After walking around for a long time, Zhao An selected fifty people, all of similar body and shape, and left all the others to Cao Hai, because he would take some people directly from the showroom in the future, and his showroom also needed to prepare people to take over in advance. .
Zhao An asked Xiao Shunzi to bring sumptuous food to serve these poor people who were about to lose their second brother.
"Ahhhh——"
The screams came one after another.
Zhao An plucked up the courage to see with his own eyes two handsome young men being slapped with lychees, which made him tighten his crotch and run away halfway.
I guess if I continue reading, I will have nightmares at night.
In Ningkun Palace, Chen Yuru's eyes were full of joy. Doctor Wang had just arrived. She was pregnant!
In fact, Zhao An could already tell the clues from Chang Ming's face. He smiled so crookedly that he couldn't help but feel sad that Chen Yuru didn't know that the child was Chang Ming's.
Zhao An flattered and added insult to injury, saying that the East Palace would have a new owner in ten months.
"Well said, let me reward you."
People are in high spirits during happy events. Chen Yuru was so happy today. The more she looked at Zhao An, the more loyal and pleasing she became. She rewarded him with five small yellow croakers with a wave of his hand.
Zhao Anxin sneered.
Ten months is enough for the black factory to take shape.
When the time comes, I will imitate the ten permanent servants and kill the old fox with a knife!
Zhao An was thinking fiercely, and suddenly Chen Yuru approached him and asked: "I have received news from my father again. I hope that the Ai family will find an opportunity to kill you. What should I do?"
Zhao An suddenly became excited and hurriedly said: "No, Madam, you are pregnant with the dragon child. If you kill someone, you will be guilty, and there will be endless troubles."
"I know that Shi Donghai must have had a bad idea again."
Chen Yuru gritted her teeth and Zhao An agreed solemnly, "Shi Donghai is planning to ruin the luck of the empress. Xiao Gui Gu is simply a poisonous person."
"The plot is against me. Sooner or later, I will settle accounts with him!"
The Duke's Mansion.
Shi Donghai sneezed several times in succession, completely unaware that a sword was hanging above his head.
Now he just wants to get rid of Qian Yu quickly. Once Qian Yu dies, the emperor will have no one to use outside the court, and major events can be decided.
The eldest son pondered for a moment: "To kill Qianyu, you can wait until after the national mourning, otherwise the Duke's palace will be at the forefront."
"It's a pity that Chang Ming is dead, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome."
"I have sent people to the palace to inquire about the news. If he is still alive, he will definitely be hiding in Ningkun Palace."
The eldest son's eyes were cold and his murderous intent was undisguised.
Shi Donghai said strangely: "The eldest son's people are hidden in the recent batch of eunuchs. The East Palace has restarted and recruited eunuchs. Could it be that the queen is pregnant."
After saying this, the eldest son suddenly stood up, and several chess pieces fell out inadvertently.
Shi Donghai's eyelids twitched and he said humbly: "Young Master, there is no need to worry. I believe that the Duke can understand your mood."
"I will handle this matter myself without bothering the teacher."
After saying that, the eldest young master turned and left, seemingly in a hurry.
