【End of the third watch】

Send Zhang Siwei and a group of monks out of the West Cross Courtyard.

Wang Shouye turned his head and instructed Shen Changfu to find a few grooms, dog grooms, and monkey tricksters to come back, and try to train the strange duck, as well as the ordinary ducks that will be put into the pen later.

It's not that I want to train it into some kind of war beast - after all, this thing is just a monster duck, not a duck, and even if it can really be trained, its combat effectiveness may not be strong.

The main thing is to test whether there is any change in its intelligence through training.

This is a question that Wang Shouye suddenly thought of when he was watching with Zhang Siwei just now.

If there is a real alienation in intelligence, then this experiment must be suspended, at least not rashly trying to scale up, lest it create an ancient version of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Alas~

It's not good to have too many brain holes, and it's easy to look ahead and backward.

"Don't be in a hurry to remove these canvases first, wait until those monks and Taoists are completely gone."

At present, although those monks and Taoists left the West Cross Courtyard, they did not leave the Shanhai Prison, but went to the East Cross Courtyard to petition Bai Changqi.

"That's right!"

Wang Shouye suddenly slapped his head and said in annoyance: "I almost forgot, didn't we want to try to burn something with that fire robbery crystal?" The loss of people hasn't left yet, so I'll discuss with those Taoist priests to see if anyone wants to try their skills. ”

He hurriedly chased to the East Cross Courtyard, and waited outside Bai Changqimen for half an hour before he saw the monks rushing out.

Judging from their expressions, they should have gotten what they wanted.

Wang Shouye just wanted to meet Bai Changqi, who was going to 'pull Zhuang Ding' and send the guests out of the door, but he stopped him first: "Wang Shoubei came just in time, and this official has something to discuss with you." ”

Tut~

It's been a busy day, and I really can't split people in half!

After telling a few Taoists to stay for the time being, Wang Shouye hurriedly chased into the hall, and saw Bai Changqi holding this recital with empty eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency?"

Wang Shouye stepped forward and bowed his hand.

Bai Changqi came back to his senses at this time, waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and let him sit on the chair on the left, and then said: "I have thought about it carefully, and the cabinet should not stop me from going to Cangzhou Mansion to trace the source-it's just that the person who led the team is afraid that he will have to discuss it carefully." ”

What does this mean......

"Your Excellency."

Wang Shouye cautiously reminded: "The humble duty must not only guard those relics, but also pay attention to the Buddha's light relics, I am afraid that it is not good to leave the capital without permission." ”

Seeing that Wang Shouye saw through his intentions, Bai Changqi didn't hide it anymore, and sighed helplessly: "I also know that you don't refrain from being separated, but after all, it is safest for you to come forward in such a matter - otherwise, once there is a business trip, it will affect the people of Cangzhou Mansion, then you and I will regret it." ”

Tut~

originally thought that most of this errand would fall on Zhang Shibang, Ma Gui, and Hu Xianzhong, but in the end, they still dug a pit and buried themselves.

But well......

This is also a good opportunity to promote the sealing system.

"In this case, the humble position can only be reluctantly difficult." Wang Shouye said, and suddenly got up again and arched his hand: "In order to be as foolproof as possible, I also ask Lord Jian Zheng to promise me a condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"I want to take the Buddha's light relics to Cangzhou Mansion."

"This ......"

Bai Changqi frowned suddenly, after the catastrophe of the Fusi in Beizhen, as well as the two incidents of exorcising ghosts and finger diseases, it is not an exaggeration to call this Buddha's light relic a major weapon of the country.

If Wang Shouye is allowed to take him to Cangzhou Mansion, it will be fine if there is no accident, but if there is an accident, I am afraid that he will not be able to afford it.

But Wang Shouye's proposal to take the Buddha Light Relic to Cangzhou Mansion is also reasonable, and this time he insisted on sending him to deal with it.

This is reasonable, and it is not easy to refuse categorically.

"So be it."

After thinking about it again, he still used the procrastination trick: "When the cabinet gives instructions, let's discuss it carefully." ”

In fact, Wang Shouye also prepared Plan B, planning to retreat to the next best thing and take away the Lei robbery brick - Lei has always been an evil nemesis in ancient legends, and this time it is just to test the authenticity.

But seeing that Bai Changqi used the procrastination trick again, he couldn't say anything more.

I had to bow down and say goodbye for the time being.

When I got outside, I saw that not only the Taoist priests were there, but even the monks didn't leave.

Is this because you want to huddle together for warmth, or are you afraid that the Taoist priests will benefit alone?

Fortunately, there is nothing to hide about alchemy.

Wang Shouye told them straight to the point, and reminded them in time that the blue immortals in the palace were also trying to use fire to rob the crystal alchemy, and several Taoist priests enthusiastically signed up at the moment.

The left and right are to help do the experiment, and the more the tester is, the better.

Wang Shouye simply responded to all of them, and agreed to officially start the internship tomorrow, which really sent away a group of monks.

Just as he was about to return to the duty room from the yamen, he saw a somewhat familiar carriage parked outside the gate of Shanhai Prison, and then two drunken scholars came down from above.

Wang Shouye took a look, but it was Zhang Guoyan and Zhang Ruyuan.

Looking at the elated appearance of these two people, most of them went to attend the gathering of the new imperial examination - it seems that the suggestion he made yesterday has been adopted by Bai Changqi.

was hesitating whether to take a look at these two people, and the sharp-eyed Zhang Ruyuan had already seen Wang Shouye, hurriedly shook off Zhang Guoyan and walked a few steps, and gave Wang Shouye a deep salute:

"Ru Yuan has seen Lord Wang."

"It's you."

Wang Shouye pretended to see him, squinted at Zhang Guoyan, who was following behind, and asked casually, "Are you going to participate in the Luming Banquet?" ”

"The Luming banquet will not be held until twenty-five, and the two of us are going to a private banquet in the same year."

Zhang Ruyuan explained with a smile, but then he remembered something, and he seemed to have something to say to Wang Shouye, but he didn't dare to mention it.

Isn't he cheeky and looking for himself to help?

Thinking like this, Wang Shouye's face turned colder, his chin raised, and he asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Ruyuan spied on his face, gritted his teeth secretly, and then said: "At this private banquet, Ruyuan heard some rumors, maybe it has something to do with adults. ”

"What rumors?"

"Li Mubai also participated in this township test, and he won the lift."

Li Mubai?

It's been a long time since I've heard that name.

Saying......

Hasn't he already been dismissed?

How can I still participate in this township test?

Zhang Ruyuan explained: "The county lord handed in his application for dismissal, but most of the great grandmasters still have to send people to investigate the matter, and they don't make a decision so quickly, if there are nobles to help during this period......

Yes, it must be that the opening document has not been approved yet, and Cheng Guogong took the first step to protect him.

No wonder I haven't heard from him for a while, my feeling is to go to the township test!

Counting him and Li Mubai, they can barely be called the hatred of taking their wives, and that guy doesn't look like a generous person.

It seems that due vigilance is necessary.
