However, it was said that after Wang Shouye washed up briefly, he gathered with Zhou Wusheng and Ma Gui, and hurried to the noon gate outpost.

Who knew that when he arrived at the noon gate, he was stopped by Yulinwei's people, saying that it was the morning meeting of the Shanhai Supervisor, which was held in Wenyuan Pavilion instead.

So the three of them had to go around to Donghua Gate again.

This back and forth made Wang Shouye discover a strange thing: Zhou Wusheng, who was still cold-eyed before, actually talked and laughed with Ma Gui again, and he hated to see each other.

Thinking about it carefully, the two of them seemed to be in the same place when they went out......

Wang Shouye thought about it for a while, and suddenly came over, Zhou Wusheng's indifferent attitude at the beginning was mostly deliberately pretended, wanting to knock a bamboo bar.

And Ma Gui is obviously also a good person, he didn't make a noise at the time, and after being sent out of the living room by himself, he quietly made up the 'number of gifts', and most of them were still generous gifts.

Tut~

There are a lot of twists and turns in this officialdom compared to the workplace!

Walk through the Donghua Gate and cross the stone bridge......

Seeing that Wenyuan Pavilion was close to the left, Na Magui and Zhou Wusheng were a little restrained, pulling their sleeves, pulling their collars, and straightening their hats, and tossing three or four times in just a distance of one hundred and ten steps.

So much so that Wang Shouye began to wonder if he was too calm when he went back to Wenhua Hall to play the right game?

This Wenyuan Pavilion was originally the place where the palace kept books, and later the authority of the cabinet became heavier, so it moved to the place where the cabinet ministers were on duty and worked.

However, it was said that the three of them followed the scribe to the meeting hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, and saw that all the officials of Shanhai Prison, including the left and right prison deputies, were all talking to each other outside the door.

There are no eunuchs Li Fang and Zhang Siwei, the supervisor.

Wang Shouye asked Zhou Huaien to inquire carefully, but it turned out that the three chief officials of the Shanhai Prison, including the supervisor Bai Changqi, were now in it and the second assistant Xu Jie, who was on duty, to discuss the selection of the low-level officials of the Shanhai Prison.

Sure enough, it is heavy on literature and light on martial arts.

Zhou Huaien and Dai Zhizhong obviously bear the title of deputy supervisor of the fourth grade, but they are not worthy of the sixth grade in terms of authority.

However, the two themselves didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and they thought that they had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment - although the authority of the factory and health system was heavy, they had almost no say in government affairs.

As he was talking, a middle-aged military attache with a goatee took the initiative to come up and talk.

According to Zhou Huaien's introduction, this person is the last garrison, Hu Xianzhong, the former envoy of Yulin Weizhen.

In this way, half of the four guards are 'high-matched', so how should the seats of himself and Magui be arranged?

"What's the arrangement? You are the same as yesterday, just sit under Zhang Shibang. ”

Zhang Shibang's next?

Seeing that Wang Shouye was a little ignorant, Zhou Huaien gave him a brief science popularization.

At present, the military system of the Ming Dynasty is actually a dual-track system, one is the guard system of generations of military households, and the other is the battalion system of recruiting people.

At the beginning of the dynasty, the system of guards was the mainstream.

However, in the Jiajing period, the local guards were full of drawbacks and were already useless, so they were dominated by the battalion system and became vassals.

Nowadays, such as today's military status, the first factory guard pro-army, then the border town battalion, again for the capital guard, the last for the local guard.

Because of this, the hereditary official positions in the guard center have also depreciated very much.

For example, once the commander of the local guard station is transferred to the border army battalion, most of them can only serve as a guerrilla attack of the Zheng Wupin.

Therefore, among the four guards of the Shanhai Prison, only Zhang Shibang is considered a high match, Wang Shouye belongs to the flat adjustment [to be promoted to a thousand households to transfer], and Ma Gui and Hu Xianzhong are promoted - Hu Xianzhong is even ranked after Ma Gui because he was born in the guard.

was discussing the Ming military system, when he saw Zhang Siwei coming out of the inside, he waved at everyone, and raised his voice to greet: "Ladies and gentlemen, the supervisor is passing me on to discuss the matter." ”

Only then did everyone hurriedly divide into two columns, and followed Zhang Siwei into the stream.

After entering the council hall, I saw a civil official in his thirties sitting in the center, and Li Fang, the eunuch in charge of the meeting last night, appeared on the chair of the eunuch on the left.

This civil official is obviously the mountain and sea supervisor Zheng Bai Changqi, Wang Shouye peeked at it, and saw that this person had a white face and a slight beard, and his facial features were still upright, just looking like he was hangover and had not woken up, and he looked really decadent.

After everyone finished the ceremony, they sat down.

Wang Shouye only found out at this time that there were two more fresh faces in the civil official sequence opposite, and judging by their clothes, they should all be eight or nine grade officials, and they didn't know what they were doing, so they were qualified to attend the morning meeting.

After everyone sat down, Bai Changqi stood up and arched his hand to the left and right: "This official was unable to take up his post in time yesterday for some reason, thanks to Gong Li's residence in the middle and the solid work of my colleagues, so that my Shanhai Supervisor was saved from becoming a laughing stock - this official is here, I am ashamed of you." ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Everyone got up and saluted, saying 'I don't dare'.

It is said that this Bai Changqi is a harlequin who welcomes and shoots horses, but looking at this style, he is still a little responsible.

When each other is seated again, the meeting officially begins.

First of all, everyone has reported on the progress of the various response measures last night.

"The monasteries and Taoist monks in Beijing are stepping up their investigations, and so far, there are more than 60 people who do not return at night."

"Most of them should have nothing to do with the catastrophe, and for the time being, we can only wait for these monks to turn back one after another, so as to further lock down the suspicion."

"Considering the monks who enter Beijing and travel to Yundao, there are quite a few people who are reluctant to be constrained by the order and choose to rent an inn, so we are going to transfer some manpower and start to investigate the restaurants and inns from the inner city."

"And then there is, can you let the Taoist officials and monasteries send people to identify the three monks who still have their bodies?"

This is the statement and summary of Zhang Siwei and Dai Zhizhong, their task is the heaviest, and it is reasonable that they have not achieved results for a while.

After considering it, Bai Changqi made an instruction: "Ziwei [Zhang Siweizi] During the visit, it is best to communicate with the Daolu Division and the Monk Lu Division. ”

"As for the matter of coming to the door to verify the relics, for the time being, we will press them back and forth—it is not too late for them to come and identify them when they have been screened out, and their appearance and age are similar to those of the relics."

This disposition can be regarded as justified.

It seems that Yan Shifan's recommendation of him to be the supervisor of the mountains and seas is not all cronyism.

Zhou Huaien's subsequent report was much simpler.

He and Zhang Shibang led people along the noon gate to Donghua Gate, searched back and forth more than ten times, and only found three suspected places of robbery, but did not find any relics.

Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the exact outcome at this time.

For this reason, Zhou Huaien proposed that the Shuntian Mansion set up a list to find witnesses who were at the scene last night.

But this proposal was rejected by Bai Changqi without hesitation.

Although the current matter of the monk's path has already been rumored, the imperial court has not yet made an official conclusion on this, and it is inconvenient for the following to rashly make it clear.

In the end, when it was Wang Shouye's turn and Zhou Wusheng to speak, Zhou Wusheng was supposed to make a summary statement, but because Zhou Wusheng did not participate in it from beginning to end, he could only push it to Wang Shouye.

Wang Shouye first briefly introduced the situation of several relics, and then took the initiative to mention that there may be some kind of relationship between the Arhat tree and the Buddha's light relics.

But after a false shot, he said that the stakes were very high, and it was necessary to deal with it cautiously in a short period of time, and after confirming the disadvantages of the Luohan tree, it was not too late to try to connect the two.

He took a preventive shot in advance, lest someone think of this stubble before he had studied those few talismans clearly-if the top was directly laid down at that time, it would be difficult to keep the arhat tree.

After talking about the relics.

Wang Shouye quietly glanced at Zhou Wusheng, and after a little hesitation, he still took the initiative to report: "Lord Jianzheng, in addition to collecting the relics, Zhou experienced a strange thing last night - a certain Xiucai who had directly used the Buddha's light relics to drive away evil spirits had the ability to come back to life for some reason!" ”

"Brought back to life?"

The attraction of these four words is much greater than the previous ones combined, and more than a dozen eyes immediately focused on Zhou Wusheng's face.

Zhou Wusheng was full of shame, obviously he didn't expect Wang Shouye to let go of the ready-made Qingyun Road, and he directly broke this matter!

When he found that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly wanted to hide his anger, but unfortunately he didn't have the ability to change his face in Sichuan Opera, his face was tangled and distorted, and he squeezed out two cheeks of pig liver.

"Zhou experience, is there really such a thing?"

It wasn't until Bai Changqi couldn't help but ask by name that he could barely suppress the anger in his heart, got up and arched his hand: "What Wang Shoubei said is quite exaggerated - that Zhang Xiucai did save his companions, but when it comes to bringing the dead back to life, ...... to talk about."

Bai Changqi asked again: "Where is this Zhang Xiucai now?!" ”

"Your Excellency."

Zhou Wusheng's spine bent a little more, hid his face under the brim of his hat, and said in a deep voice: "That Zhang Xiucai can't really come back to life, and he can't be saved unless he is destined to do so—he treated more than 20 seriously ill people last night, and only two of them died. ”

"And after he finished treating these three people, he vomited blood and fell to the ground with a different face, and now he is in a coma in Zhao Wenhua's old house."

After hearing this, Bai Changqi immediately turned his head to look at Wang Shouye, and after receiving Wang Shouye's affirmative answer, he obviously showed disappointment.

It seems that he probably also thought of Mrs. Yan.

nodded noncommittally at the moment, and changed the topic: "Don't say anything about Zhao Wenhua's old mansion in the future, our Yamen of Shanhai Jian will be located there for the time being-from Ming'er, this official will officially be a government office." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Changqi pointed to the two little officials who were accompanying the last seat and said: "Wang Shoubei, these two are the bookkeeper Ma Mengtao and Yang Tongshu, we will discuss the matter later, you might as well take them back to the yamen first and record the relics." ”

After a pause, he added, "Just use the seal you drafted at the beginning and record it." ”
