After passing on the message and benefiting from it, Eunuch Li left the shop.

Wang stood outside the shop door by himself, watching Eunuch Li's sedan go away, then turned and returned to the shop.

The items sold in the shop are all expensive items, and they are targeted at wealthy businessmen in the capital who have a lot of money in their pockets.

People who have no money in their pockets will not come to a shop like this to buy things, so there are not many customers coming and going in the shop.

It is a business that does not open for three years and lasts for three years after opening.

"Go find Lu Chunbo." Wang returned behind the counter and ordered the waiter in the shop.

The clerk took off his apron and left the shop.

There were only two people left in the shop, Wang Zizi and another waiter.

It was almost half an hour before the incense was burned, when the guy who was looking for someone ran back from outside.

"Shopkeeper, we're here." The waiter came to Wang Zibing and said.

Wang dropped the duster in his hand and went to the backyard through the back door of the shop.

As soon as he walked out of the back door, he saw Lu Chunbo standing in the yard.

"Follow me." Wang Zixing greeted Lu Chunbo, and then stepped into the main room.

Come to the east room and take a seat.

Lu Chunbo stood on the inside of the doorframe and said, "Boss, you are so anxious to find me. Could something have happened?"

"Sit down first." Wang Zi pointed to the empty seat beside him.

Lu Chunbo walked over and sat down, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Ziyi, waiting for Wang Ziyi's next words.

"Wei Zhongxian believes that the recent rumors about our Tiger Flag in the capital were done by the Donglin Party to deal with him." Wang said straight to the point.

Lu Chunbo laughed when he heard this and said: "This is a good thing. Wei Zhongxian came forward to change things. As long as Datong is peaceful and there is no conclusive evidence in the local area that our Tiger Character Banner intends to rebel, even the Donglin Party can do nothing to stop us." grown ups."

"Do you really think the rumors in the capital were spread by the Donglin Party?" Wang Zi looked at him and asked.

Lu Chunbo was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said: "Such a method is not something that the Donglin Party can do. If these rumors are indeed spread by the Donglin Party, it is impossible for no trace to be exposed. This subordinate is watching this The way things are done is more like what professionals would do.”

"You guessed it right." Wang Zi said, "After meeting the Eunuch Li sent by Wei Zhongxian, I realized that all this time we had only focused on the court and seemed to have forgotten that there was another force lurking in the capital. "

Lu Chunbo looked at Wang Ziyi in confusion.

"Liaodong." Wang opened his mouth and whispered two words.

Lu Chunbo, who was sitting opposite, suddenly realized and said: "Sir, are you saying that all the rumors about our Tiger Flag in the capital were spread by slaves and thieves?"

"Even the Jin Yiwei may not be able to finish things so cleanly. To do things so professionally, apart from our people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of Tiger Character Banner, I'm afraid there are only spies sent to the capital by slave thieves." Wang said on his own.

Lu Chunbo frowned and said, "If it is really the people from the slave and traitor side who did it, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to dig them out."

"We must find the person." Wang Ziqing said coldly, "We usually focus on the imperial court. This time, I want to clear out all the spies planted by slave thieves in the capital."

I saw his hands clenched into fists.

In all the time he has been in the capital, he has never suffered such a big loss. This was the first time he suffered a big loss from a slave thief.

Lu Chunbo said: "We are still not sure how many spies there are for slave thieves in the capital. Should we first transfer a group of people from outside to the capital to prevent shortage of manpower?"

"Yes, but you have to come to the capital in batches and don't arouse the imperial court's ideas." Wang himself nodded in agreement with Lu Chunbo's proposal and warned him at the same time.

Lu Chunbo said: "Although we have not deliberately searched for slave thieves and spies in the past two years, we have still found some traces of them. As long as we catch one person and pry open his mouth, we are guaranteed to catch them all."

"It's up to you to deal with the slave thieves and spies in the capital. Do it cleanly and don't leave anything behind. I will continue to keep an eye on the movements of the court." Wang said on his own.

Lu Chunbo stood up from his seat and said, "I will make arrangements right away and recruit people to Beijing first."

"Go!" Wang nodded by himself.

Lu Chunbo turned and left.

Eunuch Li, who left the shop, returned to Wei Zhongxian's house outside the palace and personally delivered several things that the king had entrusted to him to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian picked up a dong bead the size of a finger, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

He has collected a lot of Dongzhu over the years, and he no longer loves it as much as before. After all, he is now in a high position and has everything he wants at his fingertips.

Although the amount of money that Tiger Flag gave him every year was not small, he no longer valued it particularly.

With his status, he can get as much money as he wants. The reason why he is still willing to take care of Hu Ziqi all these years is because Hu Ziqi is sensible. Even if he doesn't say anything, he will not get a cent of the money he should send every year. Send the few here.

Another reason is that before he really gained power, the Tiger Character Flag was a timely help.

"Dad, there is still this ginseng tree, at least a hundred years old." Eunuch Li opened the lid of another wooden box on the table, revealing the old ginseng with intact ginseng inside.

Wei Zhongxian put down the Dongzhu in his hand, pulled the wooden box in front of him, stretched his head and smelled it.

His eyes closed slightly, and he said with a look of enjoyment: "Yes, it tastes like this. The ginseng the emperor ate is just like this."

"Shopkeeper Wang is a sensible man. How dare he fail to honor his godfather." Eunuch Li, who was standing aside, said some kind words for the king himself.

Every time he went to see Wang Zijin, he never came back empty-handed. He didn't mind saying a few nice words to such a sensible person.

Wei Zhongxian closed the box containing the ginseng and said calmly: "They respect the Zajia family because the Zajia family can support them with the tiger-character flag. If one day our family loses power, let alone giving this old ginseng tree, I am afraid that even a single ginseng root will be lost." He won’t send it to our home.”

"No one in the court knows that godfather, you have the emperor's trust. Even if Chief Minister Ye of the cabinet loses power, godfather, you will not lose power." Eunuch Li praised from the side.

"Ha ha!"

Wei Zhongxian laughed proudly, then looked at Eunuch Li beside him and said, "That's right. As long as the emperor reigns for a day, our family will not lose power. A group of idiots who have become stupid in studying also want to move to our family. Blind their eyes!"

As he spoke, he slapped the table.

Eunuch Li on the side was startled.

Unexpectedly, he was laughing happily just now, but his face turned gloomy in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from outside.

Soon, a person walked in from outside the house.
