The golden pig looked at Chen Ji and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is planning the strategy. He knows that Yun Sheep and White Rabbit will fail more than they can succeed, so he asked me to wait by the side early, and rush to cover them when they capsize in the ditch. At this time, the military situation

I'm afraid Si and the Liu family didn't expect that I was already in Luo City, so it would be a good time to plot... and arrest them."

The sense of crisis in Chen Ji's heart increased greatly. This person had a deep and careful mind.

It turns out that the Cloud Sheep and the White Rabbit were just pushed out to confuse the sight. Once the Cloud Sheep and the White Rabbit capsize, the enemy will relax due to the short-term victory. At this time, the Golden Pig will quietly enter the scene. The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.

, there must be something gained.

I'm afraid the Sheep and the Rabbit were promoted to the Chinese Zodiac half a year in advance just for this moment!

Even his own people are so viciously scheming, no wonder the outside world calls him a "poisonous person"!

Chen Ji raised his hand and said, "Master Golden Pig, I am not from the Secret Service. I hope you will not leak the secret to me."

Jin Zhu came over, held Chen Ji's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Of course I have to tell you, I also hope that you will join the Secret Service to help me perform meritorious service! By the way, I haven't told you the good news yet, the Internal Secretary has

I have specially approved you to join the Secret Service. From now on, we will be colleagues. With your talents, you will definitely rise to the top."

Chen Ji's hand was held by the fat palm of the Golden Pig, and he got goosebumps. He hurriedly said humbly: "Master Golden Pig, thank you, I don't have the ability."

"Of course you have!" Jinzhu exclaimed: "I originally thought that Yunyang would capsize with Zhou Chengyi and leave Luocheng in despair in just one day. But I didn't expect that they not only found evidence of the crime, but also nailed Liu to death.

Shiyu, even the old man of the Liu family faked his death was investigated. At that time, I was still wondering, these two guys are really good at killing people, but when did they learn other skills? Later I realized that it was because of you!"

"It's not me," Chen Ji shook his head: "Master Jinzhu, I'm just a medical apprentice."

"Don't be modest. Lin Chaoqing has already reported the incident to the Internal Affairs Minister. Mengji has also reported the interrogation of you in the dream to the Internal Affairs Minister. When the two things are put together, the truth will naturally come out."

It suddenly dawned on Chen Ji that no wonder the Golden Pig came looking for him. It turned out that the inner prime minister was aware of his existence.

He said curiously: "I heard Lord Yunyang say that the selection of spies is very strict."

Jin Zhu smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "That's true, but your outstanding performance in the Liu Shiyu case has made the Prime Minister love talents, so naturally you will do something special."

"Are there any benefits to joining the Secret Service? How much is the salary," Chen Ji asked.

"Salary?" Jin Zhu laughed loudly: "The annual salary of the bird level is twenty-four taels of silver, and that of the pheasant level is twenty-six taels. At the pigeon level, the annual salary is twenty-eight taels of silver. At this time, you can compete with the magistrate of a large county.

It's even more remarkable to be on equal terms with Hai Dongqing. Ordinary magistrates will be polite to you when they see you. Do you know what Hai Dongqing is? This dog has a ferocious nature. If it is hungry, it will attack anything in the sky."

"Where are the twelve zodiac signs?" Chen Ji asked again.

"Do you want to be one of the twelve zodiac signs?" Jin Zhu looked at the traces with great interest, but kept saying: "The twelve zodiac signs are naturally more powerful than Haidongqing. They hold the king's order flag and can kill first and then tell the story later... It's just ten

There are also differences between the two zodiac signs.”

"ah?"

"The twelve zodiac animals are divided into A, B, C and D. D and D are rat, rabbit and sheep."

Chen Ji secretly thought that it turned out that the Sheep and the Rabbit had the lowest status among the twelve zodiac animals.

The golden pig continued: "The next one is Bing San, and now it's the golden pig, the precious monkey, and the dream rooster."

"Where's Otosan?"

"Corpse dog, mountain ox, black snake."

"Where's A3?"

The golden pig smiled and said: "The first three are very powerful. As the saying goes, the iron 'upper three' and the flowing 'lower nine' have changed. Over the years, other zodiac signs have basically changed. Only the upper three are like a roly-poly.

I ran the wrong errand and never changed people."

"These three people are White Dragon, Tianma, and Sick Tiger!"

"The authority of the upper three zodiac signs is naturally different from that of us. We still need to report to Lord Wu Xiu, and then he will convey it. But the upper three zodiac signs directly report matters to Lord Internal Minister. What do they want to do and what they are doing?

, it’s not something we can inquire about. If there is any arrangement, the lower nine zodiac signs must obey the upper three zodiac signs unconditionally.”

The hospital became quiet, and it was only now that Chen Ji had a complete idea of ​​the Secret Service.

Jin Zhu stopped talking. He took off his bamboo hat and placed it on the counter, allowing Chen Ji to digest the contents.

Chen Ji thought quickly in this quiet environment, why did the other party say so much to him? Is it because the city is not deep? No.

If the opponent's city was not deep, they would not have the patience to wait until now to appear.

This is not a golden pig, he is clearly a master who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger.

Chen Ji asked: "Dare I ask... where are the two adults, Yunyang and Jiaotu, now?"

The golden pig smiled and said: "Originally, I was going to be escorted to the capital to wait for my fate, but the Prime Minister's decree came. I don't need to go back to the capital, and I will be sent to Lingnan directly."

Chen Ji shook his head: "Master Golden Pig, can I not join the Secret Service? Even people as powerful as Yunyang and Jiaotu have ended up in jail. My end will definitely not be much better..."

"Don't worry, I will protect you."

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the backyard.

Chen Ji glanced at the backyard, and when he looked back, the golden pig was gone!

He raised his head and looked up, only to see the golden pig's bloated figure leaping onto the beam without knowing it, squatting on it and making no sound at all!

Chen Ji: "..."

This golden pig can hide faster than anyone else if there is any trouble!

The golden pig squinted his eyes slightly on the beam, as if facing a formidable enemy. He whispered: "Boy, go check it out."

…

…

Bai Li's head peeked out from behind the wall of the backyard. She looked carefully at the yard. When she saw the traces, she suddenly became discouraged.

She thought that by coming out late today, she could save a lot of tolls by waiting for Chen Ji to sleep, but she didn't expect that the medical apprentice didn't need to sleep!

Bai Li leaned against the courtyard wall and looked at Chen Ji, curiously asking: "Hey, what are you doing in the courtyard in the middle of the night?"

Chen Jili said confidently: "Collect tolls."

Bai Li became even more angry. She climbed over the courtyard wall, climbed down the ladder, angrily took out four silver peanuts from her purse, and slapped them hard into Chen Ji's hand: "Don't call me Chen Ji anymore.

Call me Chen Heixin!"

"Hey, why are there four?" Chen Ji was confused.

At this time, another head popped up on the wall, it was a strange girl.

Bai Li waved to her: "Lingyun, there is a ladder inside, follow the ladder down."

But he saw a girl wearing navy blue clothes with a green jade hairpin in her head. She was dressed as a boy and rolled into the courtyard lightly.

The prince and the young monk followed closely behind.

The girl named Lingyun looked at the four silver peanuts in Chen Ji's hand and asked curiously: "What are they doing?"

Bai Li explained: "This is the toll for him."

"Tolls?" Zhu Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Isn't the Imperial Hospital owned by our palace? He is just a medical apprentice maintained by our palace, why should we give him tolls?"

Chen Ji looked at Bai Li: "Who is this?"

"This is my sister, Zhu Lingyun," Bai Li introduced with a smile: "She didn't go out much before. This time I take her out to have fun. Don't mind what she says. She has some sense of family status."

But Zhu Lingyun was surprised: "Bai Li, why are you so polite to a servant!"

Bai Li's little face darkened: "Why don't you be subordinate to others? My father has always told us not to be superior. Why do you always imitate your mother's tricks?"

Zhu Lingyun was not happy either: "You actually want to vent your anger on me because of an outsider? What's wrong with you, my mother!"

Bai Li didn't dwell on this: "Sorry, you have forgotten everything my father taught us!"

"Why should I apologize? Isn't he just a servant?" Zhu Lingyun was unconvinced.

The prince and the young monk on the side looked at this scene and hurriedly said, "Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel, what's the point of quarreling...Lingyun, you shouldn't say that to Chen Ji."

Zhu Lingyun stared at her big almond-shaped eyes and looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief: "Brother, are you helping Bai Li again!?"

The prince was silent for a moment: "I'm not helping anyone, I'm just discussing the matter. When he was in Donglin Academy, Prince Fu Prince Zhu Yu was arrogant every day, and in the end he was kicked out by the gentlemen? Don't be praised by those literati in Donglin Academy for too long.

, and forgot my father’s teachings.”

There were tears in Zhu Lingyun's eyes. After being silent for a long time, she turned back and climbed the ladder back to the palace: "You go and play, I'm not going!"

Chen Ji remained silent from beginning to end...

The prince sighed and turned to look at Chen Ji: "Sorry, I made you laugh. Lingyun is actually a pretty good person, but she has a little temper."

Chen Ji responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter."

He returned a silver peanut to Bai Li, who was surprised and said: "Can you spit out the money you got?"

"I don't earn what I shouldn't earn."

The prince gave a thumbs up: "You have principles!"

Chen Ji returned to Tongpu and gently patted Liang Maoer awake: "Tell your brother to go drink with the prince. Remember to go to Hongyi Lane to eat more."

Liang Gouer suddenly sat up, his eyes gleaming: "Drink? Where to drink?"

Chen Ji: "..."

Liang Maoer: "..."

After these people left, the hospital became quiet again.

The golden pig jumped down from the beam lightly, looked at Chen Ji and asked: "You seem to have a good relationship with the crown prince, Princess Baili?"

"It's not that good," Chen Ji shook his head.

Golden Pig said with a smile: "I heard what Princess Baili said to defend you just now."

He said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Young man, there are many benefits to joining our Secret Service. You will never lose when working with the Interior Minister. From today on, you are a secret agent. I will give you a task first. Follow the Crown Prince. He

All your whereabouts must be reported to me before leaving."

Chen Ji stood in the darkness of the medical center, watching the Golden Pig's leaving figure, and responded softly: "Understood, Lord Golden Pig."

As the door of the hospital closed gently, he returned to the backyard to pick up the bamboo tube, rolled up his sleeves in the cool autumn night, and seriously scraped the frost off the wall.
