Officials above the fourth rank in the capital are basically over 40 years old. The wives in the family naturally have already passed the age of having children. Even if there are a few old trees bloom occasionally, most of them are young and beautiful concubines.
Therefore, it is normal for Sun Shaozu to be at the forefront of the list.
Apart from him, only Shaoqing, a Taichang Temple, was pregnant with a wife above the fourth rank.
Even the fifth and sixth rank officials have only a few five on the list, and most of them are second-generation ancestors who are protected by their ancestors.
Only at the level below the seventh rank, did the number of people begin to experience a surge in growth – and the Hanlin Academy and Kedao censors, which were filled with Jinshi, accounted for a considerable proportion.
However, when it comes to the eighth grade, the number begins to plummet again.
Most of the officials at the bottom are qualified to be qualified – those who pass the imperial examination will have to wait until they get older and have no hope of the imperial examination before they choose to be a ninth-rank sesame official.
Return to the book.
But Sun Shaozong first glanced it out, and then selected several key suspects from top to bottom. Since it was the ace spy that the White Lotus Sect held to everyone’s expectations, these three things, such as “high position”, “weight” and “broad prospects”, should at least account for one.
By this calculation, the suspicion of the cheap brother is even greater – he is the only one who can truly be called “high position, powerful and has a long-term future”.
And if you think about it carefully, the Sun family and the imperial court had a “revenge of killing their father”!
In addition, the two brothers were once in trouble, and the cost of buying was not very high…
Tsk~
After searching, I won’t really find my own head, right? !
Just as he was struggling, he heard footsteps coming from far to near. Sun Shaozong looked up subconsciously, but he saw Lu Hui walking in with a gloomy face.
Sun Shaozong immediately calmed down his entanglement and handed the ‘pregnant wife.tt’ in front of Lu Hui, and said as if nothing had happened: “This is just sent, so please let the lord of the tutor to see it.”
After all, Sun Shaozong could trust his elder brother and felt that he would not have done such a ‘trap’ thing.
Lu Hui took the list, but did not rush to read it. Instead, he asked: “Have Sun Qianhu ever found out who the real traitor is?”
After receiving the negative answer, his complexion seemed to be a little worse. He rolled up the list, hit the palms a few times, and suddenly said resolutely: “When this is extraordinary, I don’t care about the kindness of the woman – come, bring Zang Liang and Xu Kun’s family here!”
This is clearly the plan to torture the two of them directly without caring about it!
But didn’t he say before that he would wait until the traitor was found and then use the other party’s family as a killer weapon?
“Sir.”
Sun Shaozong couldn’t help but wonder: “Why do you need to be so anxious? Could it be that something wrong again?”
“Isn’t it just that old thief Ge Dan!”
Just now, Lu Hui took the Lord Wang Xiang to question Ge Dan at the sprint.
It turned out that he took advantage of Wang Xiangzhu’s betrayal and pried open Ge Dan’s mouth in one go.
Unexpectedly, Ge Dan spoke, but the information he revealed made Lu Hui very disappointed and even angry.
According to Ge Dan, when he led his team to the capital, he knew that this errand was a life-and-death death. Therefore, before leaving, he discussed with the leader and several elders that after he left the northwest, the addresses, contact information, and secret codes of each branch would be replaced on a large scale.
In other words, the seemingly full of heavy materials by Master Wang Xiang is actually like waste paper!
And from this point of view, even if you pry Ge Dan’s mouth open, you may not get much useful things.
This was like a blow to Lu Hui, who was eager to make contributions and to the court’s trust. No wonder he suddenly became anxious and couldn’t wait to find out the traitor.
Of course, this is because Zhao Jiayi and others in the leadership have all been cleared of suspicion. What remains are just two small officials from the sixth and seventh ranks. Even if they were wrongly killed by “false”, for a spy agency like the Beizhen Fushi, it is a conventional “loss” within the scope of suffering, and it will not cause everyone to be in danger.
To put it bluntly, scenery and risk have always been one side. If the powerful Dragon Guard is in trouble, the fate will only be worse than others.
Although Sun Shaozong was willing to persuade him, he would not change his mind easily, looking at Lu Hui’s decisive appearance.
In addition, it was difficult to analyze the real traitor from those confessions, and he did not dare to take over the big responsibility…
Therefore, after a little hesitation, Sun Shaozong had to settle down and bow and said, “My Lord, there is still a brother in it. It is better to let me try it in words first. If it fails, it is not too late to be punished.”
Although it is a conventional “loss”, it is naturally the best to be able to distinguish the real traitor without punishing it.
So without thinking, Lu Hui entrusted the initial interrogation work to Sun Shaozong. As for the later stage, if he really couldn’t do anything, Sun Shaozong could only choose to be invisible.
At least at the beginning, Sun Shaozong thought so.
