Chapter 345: Refusal
Wang Miao felt that this matter should be fine, and was about to nod his head, but Princess Xuancheng on the side coughed lightly twice.
"Ahem."
"Mr. Zijiu!" Drawing everyone's attention, Xuancheng looked at Wu Ning with a smile.
"My husband is old, and he has not been involved in water conservancy for decades, and he has long been abandoned, I am afraid that I will disappoint my husband."
Wu Ning was stunned, "Your Highness..."
This is obviously a pretext.
Wu Ning was speechless, this old lady is not authentic, she was grateful just now, why did she turn her face and not recognize people? It's just such a little thing, and you still give me a shirk?
"Your Highness!" Wu Ning's smile gradually narrowed, "I look at my uncle's expression, it seems that he can do it." ”
I saw that Princess Xuancheng first looked at Wang Miao, and saw that her husband did nod secretly at her, which means that there is indeed no problem.
Xuancheng had no choice, and sighed leisurely, "Alas!! ”
The old woman's face was full of sorrow, and she could not say anything.
"Mr. Zijiu, it's not that the old body is ungrateful, it's really.... This officialdom is harmful to my family. ”
"The old body really doesn't want his family to be in it again, and he suffers from it."
“......”
Well, Xuancheng's consideration turned out to be here.
......
This old woman was already disheartened by the court battle, and she didn't want her family to enter the officialdom again, so she lived in fear all day long.
She was scared, really scared. I'm afraid that one day it will be another edict that will knock her family into the abyss.
Xuancheng's idea is very simple, he doesn't want any high-ranking officials, nor does he want any power, he just wants his family to live in peace.
Therefore, Xuancheng doesn't care about what goes out of the mountains to rebuild Chang'an water conservancy or something, and he doesn't want Wang Miao to re-enter the officialdom and participate in any struggle.
Wu Ning: "......"
Wu Ning was speechless for a while, and there was no way to refute it for a while.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
There was no way, Wu Ning could only speak softly, "The current situation is not as unbearable as His Highness thinks. ”
At the moment, Wu Ning explained the situation of Li Shangjin and Li Sujie, as well as Wu Zetian's thoughts, as well as the movements in the court and Xuancheng.
"Therefore, the situation is not as unbearable as His Highness thinks, and His Highness's situation is even better. Why should I mourn for myself, and increase my troubles? ”
"According to Ziyan's opinion, you can let it go, don't let down the talents of your uncle and Brother Congjian!"
Xuancheng listened, and was silent for a while, as if he was thinking deeply.
After a long time, the old woman shook her head.
"Sir's kindness, the old man has received it! However, our family was really tired and scared, and we didn't dare to think about it anymore. Please bear with me, sir! ”
Wang Congjian and Wang Miao on the side also bowed their heads and were silent, with mourning on their faces.
Wang Congjian said after a while: "My mother is also thinking about our family, don't be surprised!" ”
"This...."
Wu Laojiu said, this is a bit unreasonable, right? Lao Tzu finally found you here, but you didn't give face, and you made a reason that even he couldn't refute.
That's ......
Looking at the resolute demeanor of a family of three, Wu Laojiu is based on the principle that Lao Tzu is not a good person, so he can only...
I can't help it.
If you don't do it, you have to do it!
....
Teng stood up and sighed:
"Alas, well! The little nephew can't be strong, but ......"
looked at Wang Miao, "But before rejecting the little nephew, can the uncle go to a place with the little nephew?" ”
Wang Miao frowned, "Where are you going?" ”
Wu Laojiu smiled indifferently with his signature, "You'll know when you go." ”
Wang Miao thought about it, Mu Zijiu was kind to his family, and he rejected the fact that others were already weak-hearted, why not go with him?
Glancing at Xuancheng, Xuancheng couldn't find a reason to reject Mu Zijiu again, so he had to agree.
"Then the old body will also go with Mr., okay?"
Okay, Xuancheng is afraid that her husband's ears will be soft, and if this Mu Zijiu says something on the road, Wang Miao can't resist and agrees again, then she will be this bad guy in vain.
"Okay!" Wu Ning agreed.
So, Princess Xuancheng and Wang Miao, plus an eventful Wang Congjian, followed Wu Ning out of the house.
A group of four people walked through the streets and alleys and went straight to ....
I went to the Hibiscus Pond in the southeast corner of Chang'an.
Wang Congjian vaguely remembered that that day in the Crane Tower, when Mu Zijiu persuaded the families to stop work, he mentioned the Furong Pool.
But now, he didn't understand what Mu Zijiu was taking them there for.
As for Xuancheng and Wang Miao, they are even more confused.
Furong Pond is now a famous stinky water bubble in Chang'an City, what is Mu Zi doing there when he has nothing to do?
Hehe, of course, it's to see the stinky water bubbles.
To be precise, go to a large dirt pit on the edge of the Hibiscus Pond.
The big soil pit was more than three zhang deep, and Wu Laojiu asked Chef Luo to take people to dig it up and take soil samples.
Moreover, with Chef Luo's urine strength, it would already be difficult for Wu Ning to support him to dig the pit, not to mention that Chef Luo would fill the pit for you after digging it.
So, that pit...... It's still there.
Fortunately, no one has come to the hibiscus pool now, but there is an ugly pit on the side, but no one cares about it.
When the group arrived at the pit, Xuancheng, Wang Miao, and Wang Congjian were all covered by the stench around them.
Wang Congjian frowned even more and said, "Brother Zijiu, what does this mean?" ”
I saw Wu Ning pointing to the deep pit and said to Wang Miao: "Uncle, do you want to go down and have a look?" ”
Wang Miao listened to it and hid, go down? It's not smoked inside, and it's a question of whether it can come up or not.
He shook his head vigorously.
Wu Ning said: "It's better for my uncle to go down and have a look, maybe he can see any clues." ”
“......”
Wang Miao wrinkled his brows, seeing that Wu Laojiu didn't look like a joke, he couldn't help but get serious.
After several hesitations, he finally tucked up the hem of his clothes, covered his mouth and nose, and looked for the slope that circled up and down the edge of the pit, and went down to the pit.
The pit is very deep, at least more than three zhang, and with Wang Miao's vision of water conservancy, this depth has almost reached the aquifer of Chang'an.
All the way down to the bottom of the pit, as Wang Miao expected, the bottom of the pit was full of stagnant water, apparently seeping up from the ground.
It's just that the stench around is much stronger than above.
Holding back the nausea, Wang Miao also guessed Wu Ning's intention to ask him to come down.
After carefully looking at the soil on the pit wall, Wang Miao's whole person became solemn, and even regardless of the dirty smell, he grabbed a handful with his hand to take a closer look.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Miao rolled up his cuffs, stretched his arm into the water at the bottom of the pit, and fished out a handful of mud from the bottom.
"How so?"
Wang Miao was completely serious, "It shouldn't be like this!" ”
He knew that the water of Hibiscus Pond smelled, and there was a nullah in Guy City that flowed into Hibiscus Pond, and this nullah itself was used for sewage discharge for the city's citizens, so the water in Hibiscus Pond was not good from the beginning.
At this point, Wang Miao is mentally prepared.
It stands to reason that the water of the Hibiscus Pond will seep down and dig a pit on its side, and there must be stinky water in the pit, which is understandable.
Therefore, before Wang Miao came down, he didn't take it seriously.
However, after coming down, he found that the situation was completely different from what he thought, but it was somewhat unexpected.
