This secret letter is an urgent secret letter of 800 miles from the capital, and is sent from the official post to the six gates of Jinling.

According to the imperial court’s confidentiality system, this secret document is generally transferred to the Jianghu Department by the prefect after reviewing and reviewing it. However, after seeing the fire mud seal of the Six Gates, the Tongzhi directly transferred to Zhuge Shaobing. Since the letter said that Su You are there, Zhang Youqian personally opened it, Zhuge Shaobing called me to Liushemen.

I was holding the letter and was about to leave. Zhuge Shaobing said, Captain Su, Captain Zhang, although this matter is written directly by Liushuomen, as the direct leader of Liushuomen, I think why should I take a look together?

I said this did not comply with the regulations. Zhuge Shaobing laughed and said, "It's fine if Lord Song doesn't read it." We are all the same system, do we still need to avoid it?" I thought it was right, so I handed over the secret letter. Zhuge Shaobing opened it, and now there was an envelope inside. I took a look and handed over the letter to us, saying that I still won't read it."

As a result, the secret letter turned out that the envelope inside said Lu Zhongyuan, if this matter is transmitted to the eyes of a third person, it is impossible to kill him!

Back at the Jianghu Department, Zhang Youqian closed the doors and windows and lit a candlestick. I said this is our territory, sneaking in broad daylight. Should we make it like an underground worker? Zhang Youqian said be careful of the walls with ears. I spitted, as long as you don’t read it out, where did you get your ears?

When I opened it, I saw the familiar handwriting of Lao Suntou.

Burn after reading.

Two boys, they met with each other and looked like face. How were you living in Jinling? Are the ten scenery of Jinling beautiful? Are there ten acres of peach blossoms beautiful? Also, the twelve beauties of Qinhuai not wavering, I really miss the days when I worked in Jinling. I am very busy recently, and that boy Lu Zhongyuan is quite powerful. Now our Seven Gates have been reorganized, and twelve elites have been drawn from Six Gates to establish a Seven Gates Special Operations Team. I believe that under my leadership, the scenery of our Seven Gates Twelve Taishang Insurance back then will be reproduced.

I heard from Chen Qingyang that Qishangmen was the Dengwenyuan, which was specially reported to the emperor. It was a spy organization of Liushangmen, responsible for assassination, intelligence, and serious case investigation. It was once very glorious. Twenty years ago, but for some reason, the court directly banned Qishangmen, and Qishangmen gradually became a property management company responsible for logistics services.

Lao Sun was not serious. After reading two pages, he wrote all trivial matters, which was a waste of the imperial court's official system. The letter said that Zhang Youqian was also promoted to one of the 13 Taibaos. As the old man of Qishemen, Lao Sun was very merciful and appointed me as the chief supervisor of Qishemen.

At the end of the letter, it was a ridiculous task book, asking me to conduct a survey with Zhang Youqian, conduct a survey of all the "Wu" people in Jinling City, and ask for a secret investigation of a person named Wu Siliu.

Zhang Youqian and I stared at each other. What kind of secret mission is this? I burned it after reading it. I said that since Lao Sun secretly explained it, the Six Gate Headquarters must have a deep meaning. This matter is so important, and Chief Zhang has a heavy responsibility. Don’t mess up the matter assigned by his superiors.

Zhang Youqian said why I should do it. I pointed to the secret letter and said that Captain Zhang is now one of the Thirteen Taishang Insurance Insurance. If you don’t do it, would I be responsible for the logistics?

At this time, Jiangnan happened to knock on the door and came in. Zhang Youqian glanced at him and said, Jiangnan has been in Jianghu Department for nearly a month now. How do you feel? Jiangnan said excitedly, thanks to the cultivation of two adults, the young man has transformed from a little beggar into a public official in the court, and is now walking sideways in Jinling City!

Zhang Youqian pretended to be solemn, "The organization asked you to do this job is trust in you, so don't let us down." There is a arduous task here. Lord Su and I have been thinking about it, and only you can do this."

Jiangnan said thank you for your promotion. By the way, Lord Zhang, which girl you like, I will snatch it for you now.

Zhang Youqian said that the girl I liked would have to rob it? So, go to the Ministry of Revenue to check it out and conduct a survey of the Wu surnamed in our Jinling City. I will see the report within ten days.

Jiangnan said, sir, I am familiar with Jinling City. I have lived here for more than 40 years, and there is no one with the surname Wu in the city. Zhang Youqian said unhappy, "If you ask you to do it, you will do it, how can you do it?"

Jiang Nanlian took the order and I sighed, "It's really a lazy person who is the little lazy, but the little lazy doesn't move." As a result, we didn't take it seriously, but almost led to a huge disaster. This is a later statement, so I won't mention it for now.

There are three days left for the Spring Examination in Jiangnan. Previous spring Examinations were all under the responsibility of the Jinling Guardian and Jiangnan Academy. However, this year, Emperor Ming Zhu Runze visited Jinling to preside over the spring exam, so it was very grand. Our six doors were also selected to assist, and Jianghu Department was no exception.

The prefect of Song attached great importance to this and organized six doors to conduct a lecture, saying that the imperial examination was a major national ritual, and required us to do a good job in the security of this spring examination, do a good job in noise prevention and control during the spring examination, and ordered the business districts in the Confucius Temple to prohibit operations, creating a good external environment for the spring examination.

There are 3,000 houses in the Jiangnan Academy, distributed north and south along the central axis of the Academy. According to the arrangement order of the thousand-character text "Heaven and Earth, the universe is prehistoric". Whether it is intentional or coincidental, our Jianghu Department was assigned to the four rows of Heaven and Earth, the Xuanhuang. On that day, we assigned the task and Zhuge Shaobing held a banquet to entertain us at Zhuge Xianyu Bianyifang.

I didn't want to go, but Zhuge Shaobing insisted that it was Mr. Gong, the Jinling Tongzhi who was in charge of academic affairs, also wanted to attend. On the way, Zhang Youqian secretly said that there was no good banquet tonight. When I asked why, Zhang Youqian quietly said that it was said that Mr. Gong's son would also take the spring exam this year. This guy failed the exam twice, so he must help with his work.

When we arrived at Bianyifang, we saw that the Tongzhi Lord Gong was already waiting at the door. We hurriedly saluted. Lord Gong laughed and said that they were all their brothers. He quickly invited them inside. When we arrived at the private room, there was a table full of bear's paws, venison, and lambs and river food.

Tongzhi said that he had heard from Master Zhuge that the two brothers were sent from the capital. Although they were both officials in the yamen, they have been busy with the spring examination recently and have no chance to invite them. Don’t blame the old brother.

I said nothing about Lord Tongzhi. If you weren't for your official business, we would have visited you long ago.

Lord Tongzhi said that he would walk more in the future.

After three rounds of drinking, Gong Tongzhi explained his purpose, saying that the Spring Examination is a heavy responsibility, and our Jianghu Department is newly established. This year, we will supervise the most important number of the four rows of the world, Xuanhuang, and the organization trusts us to enforce the law impartially, be honest and self-disciplined, keep a close eye on the national selection, and never make any mistakes. We quickly expressed our loyalty and expressed that we would complete the task.

During the chat, Zheng Tongzhi asked us about our well-being, whether we were used to eating in Jiangnan, whether the weather was suitable, and whether there were any mosquitoes at night. Finally, he hinted intentionally or unintentionally, saying that his son, Ying Dahai, also participated in this spring exam.

After saying this, we can't pretend to be ignorant. I said that Mr. Gong is very talented and has taught Master Tongzhi that he will definitely be in high school this time. Master Gong said, "I borrow your auspicious words. Whether you can be in high school this time depends entirely on two people."

I smiled and pretended to be confused, saying that the ink in our stomachs was not enough for Mr. Gong to have a meal. However, since Mr. Gong personally explained, we will definitely give special care to eliminate unhealthy trends, ensure that he is not harassed, and ensure that he should be at the right level.

After I got this block, Lord Pang couldn't take the time and said, "Captain Su and Captain Zhang, this time, was assigned to the four Xuanhuang columns of Heaven and Earth. This time, Lord Pang meant."

I smiled and said that if you are so wise, we will naturally understand that we will not bear the trust.

Zhuge Shaobing raised his thumbs up and said, "Drink, come and drink!" When Lord Gong heard this, he smiled brightly, and his face was wrinkled like chrysanthemums blooming in autumn.

I am a person who drinks a lot and meets a close friend. It is like being in Xiao Dingyuan, the capital city, and I am so proud that I and him are not drunk for a thousand cups. After drinking two or three pounds of this kind of business wine, I feel like I am getting worse. Zheng Tongzhi sent the butler to send us home.

Before parting, I saw something in my arms. When I took it out, I saw that it was five thousand taels of silver notes. Zhang Youqian also had five thousand taels of silver in his arms. I said this was to buy us. Zhang Youqian snorted coldly, I wanted to buy us just five thousand taels, but I didn't take us seriously.

I said that's right, you are the son of Zhang Baiwan, why don't we go back? Such blatant bribery is a violation of professional ethics. Zhang Youqian said in surprise, I didn't expect that you were so backbone and this friend would not be in vain.

I said I was afraid that if I received the money, I would not do anything and would be caught by someone.

Zhang Youqian put the silver notes in his arms and said that such ill-gotten wealth, people's wealth and ointment, would be contrary to the law of nature to go back. Recently, a few girls have just come to Qinhuai River, so let's keep them for good people and good deeds.

I said it makes sense.

According to regulations, before the spring examination, relevant staff must be detained and managed in a closed manner to prevent relevant personnel from bribing examiners and invigilating examinations and committing fraud. We spent the next two days in the school, and we made an appointment with Xu Ruonan to meet before, but it was also stranded.

On the eighth day of the March 19th, the spring examination officially began.

Before the hour of Mao, we were woken up and didn't even eat. We arrived at the entrance of the school. The sky was not white, and outside the Jiangnan Academy, there were densely packed with students coming to take the exam, including students from the local port of Jinling and scholars from other provinces.

There are three gates in the academy, and we also know the invigilator. They are the two major literary leaders in the north, Lu, Nan and Xie, as well as the Jiangnan academic affairs minister, Gong Tongzhi, and Chu Xueer, the Minister of Rites who was sent by the court to preside over the spring examination.

The spring examination in Jiangnan was a total of three days. Within three days, all candidates were not allowed to leave the venue. All the food, drink, defecation and other matters were carried out within a 10-meter-square yard. At the age of Mao, three cannons were heard in the school palace. The students held a letter, pen, ink, paper and ink, and prepared bedding, steamed buns, pancakes, meat jerky and other foods. They registered in order, searched for their bodies, and entered the venue after the second inspection.
