Chapter 811 Bai Yuanyuan’s plan!
After hearing Ji Xian's words, Ye Mingsheng spoke calmly as usual:
“Do you have any evidence…”
Although Ye Mingsheng's tone was very calm, Ji Xian could still feel the pressure coming towards him.
Ji Xian took a deep breath, met Ye Mingsheng's gaze and said in a deep voice:
"My Lord, I already have a goal, but please forgive me for keeping it secret for now. I promise to dig out all these bits and pieces as soon as possible."
Looking at Ji Xian's determined face, Ye Mingsheng fell into deep thought. It was not uncommon for there to be a traitor in the General Staff Headquarters. It had always been the focus of infiltration by enemy intelligence agencies such as the Thousand Tiger Guards of the Supervisory Department.
The various departments of the Fengwu Army's General Staff have a total of more than 700 people, and the energy of the Coordination Office is limited, so it can only focus on protecting some core figures.
This also gave the enemy some opportunities to take advantage of. If Ye Mingsheng remembered correctly, in the past six months, the Coordination Office had caught two traitors in the General Staff Headquarters. One of them was a second-class staff officer who participated in the combat deployment of the Huainan Campaign. Fortunately, the Coordination Office had successfully captured him at the beginning of the implementation of the combat deployment, so as to avoid major military losses.
In order to obtain military intelligence from the Fengwu Army's highest command center, the Inspectorate and the Thousand Tiger Guards tried every possible means. According to the investigation of the Coordination Office, in addition to the traditional means of money and beauty, and threatening with family members, they have also learned to attack the heart. The spies of the Inspectorate also disguised themselves as an intimate older sister, a righteous older brother, etc. to get close to you.
Knowing that the Coordination Office was under great pressure, Ye Mingsheng could tolerate the corruption of some non-core personnel in the General Staff as long as it was not too excessive···························
But it’s different when the Coordination Office, as the headquarters of the intelligence department, is infiltrated!
Although Ji Xian is now the deputy director of the Coordination Office, he is a newly transferred deputy director and the incident has nothing to do with him. However, this is a very serious accusation against the former director Huo San and the former deputy director Wang Xuecheng!
If things really prove this, then Huo San and Wang Xuecheng will inevitably be charged with dereliction of duty!
Although Ji Xian did not provide any concrete evidence, Ye Mingsheng decided to give him some trust due to his loyalty over the past ten years. He said:
"Deal with this matter as soon as possible, but remember to unite with your colleagues. Huo San is very experienced!"
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's warning, Ji Xian bowed and said:
"I will remember your teachings!"
After hearing this most important thing, Ye Mingsheng became more concerned about Ji Xian’s work and life situation at the Coordination Office, and then let him leave.
After seeing Ji Xian off, Ye Mingsheng's study soon welcomed his second subordinate, Gu Sansi, director of the Fengwu Army's New Personnel Bureau.
After paying his respects to Ye Mingsheng, Gu Sansi handed Ye Mingsheng a memorial.
"Sir, this is my idea about personnel deployment. Please take a look at it..."

After finishing the pulse diagnosis of Bai Yuanyuan, Pei Zhixiu smiled and said to Bai Yuanyuan in front of him:
"Sister Bai, you are just a little too nervous. You and the child are very healthy. There is nothing to worry about!"
"But you can eat less of those supplements. Eating too much can easily lead to nutritional excess!"
Hearing Pei Zhixiu say this, Bai Yuanyuan was worried about not being able to find a topic to get close to Pei Zhixiu. Her beautiful eyes turned slightly and she smiled and said:
"Thank you, Sister Zhixiu. I have been worried these past few days. Now I feel relieved after hearing your words!"
"As for those supplements, my father felt sorry for me so he asked you to bring some in to replenish my body. Some of these supplements will go bad if they are kept for too long, and adults advocate frugality every day, so I dare not throw these supplements away. Sister Zhixiu, can you help me share some of the burden?"
Listening to Bai Yuanyuan's words, Pei Zhixiu said with a smile:
"Sister Bai, I appreciate your kindness, but the supplements sent by the Internal Affairs Department are enough for Jingxuan and me, so I won't bother you, Sister Bai!"
Seeing that Pei Zhixiu didn't respond, Bai Yuanyuan's smile froze, and after a moment she said:
"I heard that your Changshan Clinic has been in disrepair recently, sister Zhixiu. My second brother happens to be working as a governor, in charge of the construction of canals and dams. He is also a kind-hearted person. How about asking him to repair the Changshan Clinic as well?"
“It won’t take long, and I guarantee it will be exactly the same as a new one…”
Hearing that Bai Yuanyuan actually knew that Changshan Medical Clinic had been in disrepair for a long time, Pei Zhixiu sneered in his heart, and was even more certain that Bai Yuanyuan came to see him today not just for the pregnancy check-up, but for some other purpose!
Pei Zhixiu didn't know what Bai Yuanyuan's purpose was, and had no intention of knowing what her purpose was, so she spoke very straightforwardly:
"The clinic just lost a few bricks and tiles, it's not a big deal, so I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing that she was completely ignored by Pei Zhixiu, Bai Yuanyuan felt a little angry, but when she thought of her purpose, she suppressed her unhappiness, changed the subject and told Pei Zhixiu something else before saying goodbye and leaving.
Pei Zhixiu also personally sent Bai Yuanyuan to the door. When Bai Yuanyuan walked away, Pei Zhixiu's personal maid Xiaohuan whispered:
"Madam, Mrs. Bai's family is quite powerful, and her second brother, Bai Changjiu, is rumored to be a popular candidate for deputy director of the Personnel Bureau."
Although Pei Zhixiu didn't say anything after listening to Xiaohuan's words, a slightly disdainful smile appeared on her gentle face.
Meanwhile, Bai Yuanyuan returned to her own courtyard. She was so angry that she could no longer control herself. She picked up a vase and threw it heavily to the ground...
Looking at the broken vase pieces on the floor, the maids and nannies who knew that Bai Yuanyuan was in a bad mood were all trembling. Although Bai Yuanyuan's temper was sometimes a little spoiled and willful, her personality was generally good. She was also very generous to the servants around her. However, during her pregnancy and confinement, she became very irritable, often crying, making a fuss and smashing things.
Therefore, none of the maids dared to offend Bai Yuanyuan at this time. However, one of the maids, Qingfeng, mustered up the courage to say to Bai Yuanyuan:
"Madam, please calm down!" Bai Yuanyuan was so angry that she didn't want to be persuaded. She picked up another vase and threw it to the ground. Seeing this, Qingfeng gritted his teeth and persuaded:
"Madam, the young master is in urgent need!"
Bai Yuanyuan was about to pick up the third vase and smash it down, but when she heard the words "young master", her eyes regained some clarity. After a moment, she put down the vase, sat on the chair, and stroked her belly with a motherly look on her face.
Seeing this, Qingfeng quickly gave a look to the maid beside him, and a moment later a bowl of sour plum soup was brought to Bai Yuanyuan.
Holding a spoon and drinking sour plum soup mouthful by mouthful, Bai Yuanyuan's eyes were full of longing and hope!
Although she was full of hope last time and ended up giving birth to a girl, this did not dampen Bai Yuanyuan's enthusiasm.
Bai Yuanyuan felt that although she had been a little spoiled and willful at times in her life, she had never done anything that was against the will of heaven, so God would not be so cruel to her························
After drinking the sour plum soup, Bai Yuanyuan looked at Qingfeng who was bending over beside her and said calmly:
"You did a great job. Go and withdraw two taels of silver from the account!"
After saying this, the maids and nannies beside them looked at Qingfeng with envy. The monthly salary for them as servants was usually only two taels of silver.
Qingfeng also preached with great joy:
"Thank you ma'am for the reward!"
After rewarding Qingfeng, Bai Yuanyuan calmed down and recalled what happened with Pei Zhixiu.
During these years of getting along with Pei Zhixiu, Bai Yuanyuan's relationship with her can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad. Although she despises Pei Zhixiu's background, because of Pei Zhixiu's favor, Bai Yuanyuan tries her best to maintain a good relationship with her on the surface!
Although under Bai Wanhao's order, the Bai family did not try to let Bai Yuanyuan whisper in Ye Mingsheng's ear so that Bai Changjiu could be successfully promoted to deputy director of the Personnel Bureau.
Even so, recently, surrounding the hot position of Deputy Director of the Personnel Bureau, all kinds of people have been trying to get it, and many rumors have emerged. Bai Yuanyuan has also heard a lot of news!
After finding out that her second brother Bai Changjiu was sympathetic to her situation and did not ask for her help, Bai Yuanyuan, in addition to being grateful to her brother, was also planning whether she could help her second brother achieve his long-cherished wish of becoming the deputy director of the Personnel Bureau without implicating herself···································
Through a series of punishments on the Ye family members and An Miaoyi, Ye Mingsheng also emphasized that women cannot interfere in politics, which is a red line that cannot be crossed!
So Bai Yuanyuan was not going to break the law. After thinking about it, she decided to target Pei Zhixiu!
Bai Yuanyuan thought that although Ye Mingsheng had repeatedly stressed the importance of women not interfering in government affairs, given Pei Zhixiu's popularity, as long as she was willing to say a word for her second brother, the possibility of success would be very high!
So Bai Yuanyuan deliberately created an opportunity to meet Pei Zhixiu today under the pretext of a pregnancy check-up, and then she planned to get the matter done by doing some small favors!
However, what Bai Yuanyuan didn't expect was that Pei Zhixiu didn't respond at all and didn't care about her little favors!
Bai Yuanyuan was very angry about hitting a wall. Although she was unwilling to see her plan fail, she also understood that with Ye Mingsheng's love for Pei Zhixiu, she had no way to deal with Pei Zhixiu now!
That's why she lost her composure just now. Even though she has hit a wall with Pei Zhixiu, Bai Yuanyuan is unwilling to give up just like that!
In wealthy families, the stronger the woman’s family is, the higher her status in her husband’s family will be. With her eldest brother Bai Changrong disabled, her second brother Bai Changjiu will be her greatest support in the future. Therefore, if her second brother becomes the deputy director of the Personnel Bureau, it will be very beneficial to her··································
In the evening, An Miaoyi was in her room.
Under An Miaoyi's serious gaze, little Jingren was copying the Analects of Confucius stroke by stroke.
Zeng Zi said: "My day and my body are three times: do you want to be unfaithful? Do you not believe in making friends? Do you not know how to pass on?"
How about learning and learning?Have friends come from afar?People don’t know but are stunned, not like a gentleman?
At fifteen, I set my sights on learning; at thirty, I became independent; at forty, I had no doubts; at fifty, I understood the will of Heaven; at sixty, my ears were obedient; at seventy, I could follow my heart's desire without transgressing the rules.

Although little Jingren had formally become Gu Sansi's disciple under Ye Mingsheng's instruction more than a month ago, Jingren was still young and Gu Sansi had just been transferred to the position of Director of the Personnel Bureau and was very busy, so he could only guide Jingren's studies once every seven days.
On weekdays, it is An Miaoyi, the mother, who tutors her son Jingren in his studies.
After an incense stick of time, An Miaoyi saw that her son had written out all the Analects that he was required to recite, but there were more than ten marks and deletions on the paper, so she was still not satisfied.
For this reason, she also criticized Jingren very seriously, asking him to think about what he wanted to write before he put pen to paper, and to recite the Analects more proficiently.
After a whole cup of tea's time of scolding, An Miaoyi still wasn't satisfied. At this moment, Qiqige walked into the room. When little Jingren saw Qiqige's appearance, his eyes lit up and he immediately hid behind Qiqige.
Seeing Jingren doing this, Qiqige also understood that An Miaoyi was afraid that she was lecturing him again, and immediately pleaded for little Jingren:
"Madam, Master Jingren has worked very hard. Jingxuan and Jingcheng can't even read the Analects smoothly, let alone memorize it. I think Master Jingren is a standout among your children!"
After listening to Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi's expression also eased a little. After seeing Jingren hiding behind Qiqige and looking cautiously, An Miaoyi smiled and shook her head and said:
"Qiqige, just spoil him!"
"Okay! Jingren, go and play, but don't climb trees. If I find out you're climbing trees, I won't let you play anymore!"
"Thank you, mother. You are the best!"
After getting An Miaoyi’s approval, little Jingren immediately ran out as if he had been pardoned·························
(I had a fever twice today. It was 39 degrees in the morning and 38.8 degrees in the afternoon. I finished this chapter bit by bit while taking medicine to reduce the fever. According to my personal experience, Ibuprofen granules are more effective than ibuprofen tablets. Finally, I wish you all good health!)
