Chapter 197: Holy Drive

Hearing the emperor call him, Xiao Jing hurriedly bowed forward, leaning forward slightly, completely deaf.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

Emperor Hongzhi's bright eyes raised slightly, glanced at Xiao Jing, and said with a smile.

"The report sent by Jinyiwei...... Something ...... interesting."

Xiao Jing was busy laughing, echoing Emperor Hongzhi's words.

"Yes, the slave maid also got the news from Dongchang, and she wants to report it to Your Majesty."

The shock on Emperor Hongji's face had not yet dissipated.

Because...... It was clearly written in the report that the prisoner had been captured.

The reason why Emperor Hongzhi was shocked was not that the Qin prisoners were captured.

In fact, if he doesn't get it, Emperor Hongzhi should be shocked, after all, he is so concerned, all the factory guards have taken action, more than half a month has passed, the court has raised so many pro-army, so many manpower and material resources, more than half a month, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is three feet to dig the ground.

But the reason why he was suspicious of his life was because what was written in this newspaper was that it was Fang Jifan who captured the thief.

Fang Jifan didn't plant his land well, but he took his Tuntian captains and ran to catch thieves.

Yesterday he said that he would arrest him, but today he has already caught all the Qin criminals and more than a dozen accomplices.

This...... What an efficiency.

This kind of efficiency shocked Emperor Hongzhi very much, and seemed to be a little incredulous.

More than 100 Tuntian captains are more powerful than tens of thousands of professional factory guards?

Emperor Hongzhi's first reaction was whether this newspaper was written in a string.

The second reaction was to be attracted by the word "head guarantee".

He has always known that Fang Jifan's guy is a personality guarantor, this guy is too slippery, where does he dare to use a head.

But now......

Now he is questioning, Qin Prisoner has been arrested, is this true or false, is it Fang Jifan's imposting?

Second, perhaps, Fang Jifan is not pretending, but he has caught the wrong person.

Third, he didn't arrest the wrong person, nor did he take the lead, which is terrible, but why didn't he hand him over to the edict, but he arrested the Qin prisoner and took it to the Tuntian Hundred Households, and said that he would teach his protΓ©gΓ©s, which ...... What is the reason?

Thinking like this, Emperor Hongzhi became more and more surprised, his bright eyes were full of confusion, his eyes fell on Xiao Jing's body, and he asked very seriously.

"Xiao Banban, what do you think?"

Xiao Jing is a smart man, he smiled at Emperor Hongzhi and considered every word.

"Fang Jifan dares to say this, think about it, have some support, the slave has always been very optimistic about Xinjian Bo, after all, Xinjian Bo is due to the imperial court, so ...... The slave and maid thought about it, since he had vouched for it with his head, he would not dare to bully the king. ”

"Huh? Are you optimistic about him? "Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing suspiciously, even I don't look reliable, why do you value it?

Xiao Jing said slowly: "The slave really values him. ”

Emperor Hongzhi put his hand on the imperial case, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the case.

"Knock Knock ......"

With the sound of tapping, Emperor Hongzhi's brows couldn't help but lock deeply, and he fell into deep thought.

"Hey......" Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "You, you are too kind-hearted, I don't know how many ghost ideas there are in Fang Jifan's stomach, people, you can't be too honest." ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "The slave maid just serves His Majesty well, and there is no need, there is no need for any fancy intestines." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, then remembered something, stared at Xiao Jing, and asked very seriously.

"But after all, you have many years of experience in the East Factory, do you think this matter is possible?"

"Impossible." Xiao Jing said.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Xiao Jing's gaze with a little puzzlement, and his face showed a speechless look.

"But you just said it was possible."

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "This matter sounds like a fantasy, but Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that this matter is impossible." But the slave and maid are also convinced of the character of the new uncle, didn't the new uncle say that the head is a guarantee? ”

Head Guarantee......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Emperor Hongzhi was even more speechless, stunned for a moment, he couldn't help laughing: "His head can have a few catties and a few taels, this kid, do all the nonsense, ignore him." ”

After that, he put the song down.

Xiao Jing is still too honest and refuses to speak ill of people behind his back, but the meaning he revealed couldn't be more obvious.

Since it looks unreliable, naturally he doesn't expect the upper inheritance to be the domain.

He was tired of playing, so he naturally obediently went to Zhen Tuntian, this guy had just made a meritorious service, so he tolerated him and made a fool of himself.

So Emperor Hongzhi said: "The factory guard is going to be stepped up here, and if you can't hold people anymore, how can the face of the court exist, is it so tricky for a beggar gang leader?" Behold, it's not that one is troublesome, it's that yours are not dedicated enough. ”

Xiao worshipped: "Slaves and maids die." ”

…………

This matter was temporarily put down in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.

But his temperament is like this, once he puts things aside in his heart, although he is determined not to ask, he is always a little unable to let go.

Early the next morning, Emperor Hongzhi arrived at the warm pavilion as usual, ready to summon the minister, just sat down, and on the desk, the factory guard had already sent a day's recital.

He picked it up, but the factory guard still disappointed him, still ...... There is no news of the prisoners.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then remembered what Fang Jifan said yesterday about taking the Qin prisoner.

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes and said to the eunuch beside him: "Summoning Xiao to accompany him." ”

Xiao Jing was not yet on duty, as soon as he heard the call of Emperor Hongzhi, where did he dare to slack off, he hurried over, and as soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he panted and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded at the recital on the desk, and Meiyu raised it slightly.

"There's no news from the East Factory yet?"

Xiao Jing was a little stressed: "I'm afraid I'm about to have eyebrows." ”

"That's nothing!" Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little not good-looking, and it was already the seventeenth day.

Seventeen days have passed, and the Jingshi has asked you to turn over a few times, but there is no news yet.

"Is there any news about Fang Jifan's so-called captured prisoner?" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing suddenly lost his confidence, so he had to explain truthfully.

"Your Majesty, he said that he would give a lecture in Xishan today and teach what kind of truth, think about it, the Qin prisoner he said will not be sent to the imperial prison at least tomorrow, and at that time, it will be clear whether the Qin prisoner is a human or a ghost."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, but he grabbed the key information and asked hurriedly.

"What does the capture of the prisoner have to do with teaching?"

"No...... Ignorance. ”

It's a man, and the most annoying thing is to say no!

Xiao Jing is not a man, so it doesn't matter.

And as the palm print of the East Factory, I don't know the word to say it, it's a little ashamed, the duty of the East Factory is to spy on all the information, but when His Majesty asked about it, you said I didn't know......

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly stood up and said lightly: "Swing and go to Xishan, I want to know, what kind of lesson is he going to teach, isn't he very good at teaching disciples?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and anxiously persuaded Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty, if you go to Xishan with great fanfare at this time......"

Emperor Hongzhi is scratching his heart with a hundred claws, what Fang Jifan has done in the past two days is really too treacherous, this stomach full of questions, but he can't find the answer, he is really relieved.

Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand towards Xiao Jing and signaled that he didn't need to say much.

"It's okay to go and see, and also, pass on the decree, and let the prince see how Fang Jifan is a disciple."

"Spread the decree to the cabinet, so that a few secretaries don't have to come to the warm pavilion today."

"Go and set it up!"

A series of wills were given.

Xiao Jing knew that he couldn't stop it, so he kowtowed: "The slave obeys the order." ”

…………

Here in the West Mountain, it has already changed its new appearance.

Warm sheds stretch as far as the eye can see.

Beneath the mines, small village-like buildings rise and fall along the foot of the mountain.

The miners, the lieutenants of the Tuntian Hundred Households, and the many displaced people who had been recruited from the village were now settled, and not far from the village was a glass-making workshop, where a chimney was erected, and the smoke from the chimney was billowing into the air.

The workshop that leans on the glass is also a handicraft workshop, and here is a workshop, and a group of selected craftsmen are responsible for making glasses.

After the Empress Dowager's gift, the glass mirror has begun to become a rarity, and there are many people with eye diseases in the capital, and they know that wearing it can make their eyes clear, so whether it is presbyopia or myopia, but anyone who has some family background, wants to buy a pair.

Here in Xishan, it has become lively, and there are more than 4,000 craftsmen and homeless people who have been recruited.

But even so, Wang Jinyuan is still too little, he can't help but sigh, in the past, he has always felt that manpower is worthless, but now I know that this manpower is so expensive, even if it is not winter, but the demand for coal is still very high, so there are still fewer miners, and when it comes to winter, I am afraid that manpower will be even more insufficient.

In the village, there is also a special school, which is for the children of Xishan craftsmen and coolies to study, a huge courtyard, invited more than a dozen old gentlemen, more than 300 schoolchildren, early in the morning, the schoolchildren babble and read.

With the sound of their reading, the farmers, miners, and craftsmen who went to work became more energetic.

The sound of reading, for them, than the foreman's whip, makes them more energetic, those children, is their hope, children read books, in order to understand reason, understand reason, so that they do not have to be like themselves, by buying strength to earn money.

In the early morning, this huge village was revived, and the people began their day's work amid the sound of reading books.

At this time, in the 100 households in Xishan Tuntian, it was tightened, and Zhang Xin temporarily put down the farming he loved, personally led the team, and guarded it.

Here, what is being detained is a prisoner who has attracted the attention of the entire Jingshi, and the relationship is not trivial.

At the same time, braving the morning fog, Wang Shouren and Tang Yin have been invited to come together, and it is rare for the teacher to teach today, and it is reported that they have to teach them the truth of being an official, so they dare not slack off.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I finally finished the chapter and went to sleep.
