After paving the way for tomorrow's transcription, Wang Shouye braved the snow and returned to the duty room, feeling that he was not in good spirits, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting vigorously.

It is said that at the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is the time to be full of energy, even if you stay up all night.

Now I get tired so easily, and I don't know if it's because I didn't know moderation some time ago, or because of the sequelae of the trauma in Cangzhou Mansion.

Maybe it's a bit of both.

At this time, it was only around 15:00, and it was a little early to go home and rest.

Especially yesterday, a group of slack-off internal guards were disposed of.

So Wang Shouye leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to kill time.

In a trance, I don't know how long it has been, but I feel some small human voices in my ears.

opened his eyelids and swept the measurements, but it was Ma Gui, Lu Tai, and Song Shilin, who had returned to the yamen at some point.

And I have an extra fur collar on my body, and the material should be expensive.

Because he was still a little groggy, Wang Shouye didn't rush to speak, just crooked in his chair and listened to a few of their gossip.

What they are talking about now is the matter of Bai Changqi being summoned by the emperor yesterday.

It is said that in view of the fact that in the autumn of this year, there was a strange epidemic rampant in the Gongyuan, which almost disturbed the imperial court's talent selection ceremony, and the emperor was ready to add insurance to next year's Spring Festival - that is, the Shanhai Supervisor was included in the imperial examination system, responsible for ensuring the safety of the examination room, and playing a corresponding supervisory role.

Wang Shouye also heard about this, and when he heard that Bai Changqi came back from the palace yesterday, he was excited.

I went to Shuntianfu early this morning, preparing to learn from the experience of Shuntianfu in invigilating Qiuyu over the years.

I heard that Ming'er was going to go to the Gongyuan for a field trip, obviously hoping to take the opportunity to get further recognition from Shilin.

However, Wang Shouye is not optimistic about this.

As a yamen specializing in gods and ghosts, Shanhaijian would have faced a certain amount of rejection if he wanted to be included in the imperial examination system.

In the name of the backbone of the Yan Party, Chang Qi led a group of fox friends and dogs, and scolded those officials who were not afraid of death for several days.

If Wang Shouye were those people, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch Bai Changqi intervene in the Chunqiu meeting to gain political prestige.

Just thinking of this, I heard Song Shilin say: "Actually, this time the imperial court wants to let our Shanhai supervisor enter the examination room, and it is not all because of the strange epidemic in the Shuntianfu Township examination.

It is said that we have a candidate in Shanxi, at home for a pen fairy, when the autumn township test, someone has seen him close his eyes while napping, while moving the pen like flying seems to have divine help.

Later, because this person ordered Yayuan, the matter became more and more troublesome, and the governor of Shanxi ordered the magistrate to investigate thoroughly, but the scholar fled when he heard the news, and there was no news. ”

When Lu Tai heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Then does he have a pen fairy in his family?" ”

"There must be, otherwise why run away!"

Ma Gui said very firmly, and at the end a conspiracy theory came up: "Of course, maybe someone covets that immortal, and even brings things with people - who doesn't want something that can guarantee Zhongya Yuan and even Jinshi?" ”

"It's not out of the question."

Song Shilin nodded, and was about to say something, when Wang Shouye, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected: "Secretary Song, where did you hear this news, can you confirm the truth or falsehood?" ”

"Your Excellency, are you awake?"

Seeing that it was him who spoke, Lu Tai and Song Shilin hurriedly got up from their seats.

Although Wang Shouye and Ma Gui are both guards, and Song Shilin is still Ma Gui's direct subordinate in name, Song Shilin's attitude is obviously more respectful when he faces Wang Shouye.

Wang Shouye raised his hand and pressed it down a few times, motioned for the two to sit down again, and then asked again: "That pen immortal said, can Secretary Song confirm the authenticity?" ”

"This ......"

Song Shilin shook his head, and said helplessly: "As the saying goes, take the thief and catch the adulterer, even if this is true, I am afraid that no one will be able to come up with evidence at the moment." ”

It's a pity.

If the existence of the 'pen fairy' can be confirmed, the Shanhai supervisor will serve as the invigilator of the examination, and it will naturally be successful.

More importantly, Shanhaijian can use this to break down barriers and gradually spread its influence to the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Now......

When it comes to matters that have no evidence, whether to believe or not to believe it naturally depends on the guidance of public opinion.

And the current public opinion orientation is obviously not on the side of Shanhaijian [mainly Bai Changqi].

However, this also proves in turn the necessity of moving from the central to the local government - if there is a branch of the Shanhai Supervisor in Shanxi, most of the pen immortals have already been sent to the capital.

After that, several people talked about the pen fairy again, and seeing that there was nothing new to talk about, Wang Shouye changed his mind and asked about the seafood outside the city.

"Sensei."

Speaking of this, Ma Gui scratched his head worriedly: "Those fishermen invited from Tianjin Wei, only five or six percent of the fish and shrimp can be recognized, and there is no use for tossing for a long time."

The sea beasts were even more miserable, and they recognized two of the seven, and the rest did not dare to decompose indiscriminately, so they had to continue to send people to guard them day and night. ”

It's actually normal tight.

After all, nowadays, there are no means to explore the deep sea, and it is normal for fishermen to fish only inshore and not recognize those creatures in the open sea and deep sea.

It seems that this inventory and classification work alone is enough to keep them busy for a long time.

Seeing that Ma Gui was not interested in this matter, and that it was getting dark outside, Wang Shouye simply cleaned up the table, and turned out a few of the charms that he had used to perfunctory other people's ghost drawings and put them in the center, in case they would be used as a cover tomorrow.

Then just wait to clock out.

…………

Buildings.

The guards on the east side of the Taihe Hall are on duty.

Approaching the change of guard, several hundred households on duty were sitting around chatting, and Xue Xun, the commander of the six gates of the Taihe Palace, the commander-in-chief, picked up the curtain and walked in.

"Lord Xue."

"Commander Xue."

Everyone hurriedly got up to salute, except for a person in the corner of the wall who was lazily crooked on the chair, as if he hadn't seen Xue Wei.

After Xue Xuan looked around, his eyes locked on this person, and he raised his voice: "Lu Baihu, hand over the matter at hand, from tomorrow onwards, you will not come to Taihe Hall to be on duty." ”

All the hundreds of households in the house were shocked when they heard the words, and secretly said that this scene had been sung for several months, and it was finally time to see it!

Lu Jingcheng was also stunned when he heard this, got up with a frown, arched his hand loosely, and asked, "Where should I go to my humble position?" ”

"Kitajin Fuji."

"Kitajin Fuji?"

"There's an errand that is short of manpower, and the top is going to transfer you over to top it."

Beizhen Fusi has been overcrowded in recent years, how can there be a shortage of manpower?

Lu Jingcheng's heart moved, and he blurted out again: "This errand, but it has something to do with the mountain and sea prison?" ”

Xue Wei Gujing nodded without wave: "Sort of." ”

And sure enough, it was!

Lu Jingcheng was overjoyed immediately, and he couldn't wait to immediately go to Wang Shouye to thank him in person.

But after thinking about it, I didn't think it was appropriate.

After all, the relationship between the two sides is quite awkward, and there is no way to spread it out in broad daylight - although it turns out that it is this kind of unsavory relationship that works best!

It's better to wait until he is officially transferred to Shanhai Prison, and then think about thanking his 'brother-in-law'.
