Beijing.

After leaving the city gate, a carriage came up at high speed.

This carriage was specially built by Yang's Trading Company. It has all the facilities including tables, chairs and so on.

Ouyang Heng sat on the leather chair with a backrest and subconsciously touched his waist.

After he touched the cigarette rod, he immediately withdrew his hand angrily under a glare from Mi Qi opposite him.

"Don't smoke in the car, it smells terrible."

Mickey waved his hand.

"It's not that I want to smoke, but I just don't understand. Is it necessary for us to mobilize forces like this?"

Ouyang Heng hurriedly changed the topic.

"Do you think it's that simple?"

"On the surface, it seems that the two heads of the Feng family are missing. In fact, it involves a battle in the court."

Mickey said calmly.

As soon as Ouyang Heng heard that there was a fight in the court, he immediately sat firm and his attitude became cautious.

Fighting in the court is extremely terrifying, and if you are not careful, you will end up in a catastrophic situation.

"Why is it involved in a court fight?"

Feng Qingya of the Feng family was doing fur and grain business in Sixiang City this time. He was not in one of those dangerous places, so how could he disappear? The head of the Feng family, Feng Tiyi, also disappeared...

…”

"This means that there is some kind of force that secretly captured the two of them."

"This will mobilize the hidden guards."

Mickey said.

"Mobilizing the hidden guards? What's the benefit of that?"

Ouyang Heng thought about it carefully and felt that there were many things that didn't make sense and couldn't be understood.

"Our Hidden Guards are not omnipotent. The Hidden Guards have limited manpower, and there are only a few people who can really make a difference."

"Of course, only those who know the Hidden Guard very well can understand this."

"As long as we are mobilized, some people will be able to do things they usually dare not do."

Mickey narrowed her eyes.

"This is all your careful guessing..."

Ouyang Heng frowned.

"This is not a guess. We have already noticed that there is a problem within the Hidden Guard and have locked several targets. It's just that before Sister Ziyan left, she told us not to alert others, but to be vigilant first."

Mickey said.

"Why didn't Brother Xingyun tell me about this?" Ouyang Heng asked doubtfully.

"What does he know? He is very confused. When it comes to martial arts, he is very powerful, but he still has a partial understanding of the various methods of our hidden guards, so many things will not be told to him." Mickey raised an eyebrow and said.

.

"Well, since there are internal problems within the Hidden Guard, I still don't understand what the transfer of our Hidden Guard has to do with fighting in the court."

Ouyang Hengdao.

"The hidden guards are in the capital and have many tasks. One of them is to monitor the civil and military ministers at all times. This is all done secretly..."

"Once the power of the capital is insufficient, the gaps in surveillance will gradually increase. In addition, if there are people inside colluding with outsiders, they will be able to do things they usually dare not do to increase the leverage in court battles."

"For example, we can find out what happened to the ministers who are related to Lord Zhang. Once something happens to the ministers on Lord Zhang's side, we can severely attack the forces of Lord Zhang's faction."

"Master Zhang's power has shrunk, and those who are growing in power are Master Feng and Master Jiang, both from Dongling Academy."

Mickey said.

"This is really insidious. If you hadn't made the connection clear, no one would have thought that a disappearance case could disturb such a huge court."

Ouyang Heng was shocked.

This time he was really shocked.

Sure enough, the most playful people in the world are the adults in the court.

The adults all passed the imperial examination, and they were all the best among the people. The lowest ones were all the imperial examinations. Basically, the vast majority of those with high grades were Jinshi.

Such people should focus on running the country.

Gu Ke, they just focused on intrigues.

What a waste of talent.

"Who is their target?" Ouyang Heng asked again.

"This... we haven't determined which ones they are, but there are two most likely targets."

"The first is Yan Guangqi, the Minister of Personnel, and the second is Mu Zichuan, the Minister of Hubu! These two adults are the most likely."

Mickey said.

"is it possible?"

"I heard that Mr. Yan Guangqi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was born second in the rankings. He came from the Yan family and his family was wealthy. Therefore, he was never greedy for money. He only worked hard and was selfless. He was respected by all officials."

"Master Mu Zichuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, is as honest as water and is recognized as a capable and good official."

"How can the two of them have any clues?"

Ouyang Heng said in shock.

"Everyone has weaknesses. Who knows if there is any excuse?"

"Master Yan Guangqi's weakness is in women. It's not that he likes women, but that he has bad luck in having children. The eldest lady didn't give him an heir. He took several concubines, but all he gave birth to were daughters.

.”

"Master Mu Zichuan, at this age, has not yet been married. There are many rumors circulating outside. Some people say that he likes men's style. In Mu's house, all the personal servants are male servants. Some people say that he and Mrs. Yang

…”

After Mickey said this, he stopped talking.

"It's all nonsense. You can't say this casually. If your wife hears it, you will be rewarded." Ouyang Heng reminded.

"I don't dare to let Madam hear it, but that's not what I said, it was just spread by outsiders."

"In short, if others say, I don't care, you can't say it."

Ouyang Hengdao.

"Madam is not a stingy person, don't worry."

Mi Qi waved her hand and continued: "These two adults have high positions and are from Master Zhang's faction. If they are overthrown, the structure of the court will undergo huge changes."

"Your Majesty, it may be difficult to control the court like before."

"Since we have noticed the danger, why not send more manpower to protect them?"

Ouyang Heng said doubtfully.

"We have sent extra manpower secretly, but we can't expose it on the surface, and we can't alert the snake. Just pretend we don't know anything. This trick is called luring the snake out of its hole."

The corners of Mickey's mouth raised, revealing a smile.

"No wonder you are eager to drag me out of the city."

"Should we turn around and quietly return to the city?" Ouyang Heng asked.

"No, we have already come out, so what if we don't show up in Sixiang City!"

Mickey said.

"Where's Brother Xingyun? Can't he walk?"

Ouyang Hengdao.

"He also left the capital, apparently going south to investigate the Black Lotus Sect. In fact, he will secretly return to the capital."

Mickey said.

"It seems like this is a big game."

Ouyang Heng touched his chin, thoughtfully.

He didn't have the slightest fear about this, but he was a little excited.

"When we get to Sixiang City, the people there will welcome us," Mi Qi said.

"The hidden guard over there?"

"We are the superiors. The hidden guards are not receiving, but welcoming."

"The person who received us was the county governor Qiu Muliang."
