Chapter 203: Chain Reaction
It's finally time to see the emperor.
Although Li Chunfang, Wan Yupeng, Bai Changqi and others faced the saint together, they only got two or three lines during the period.
But in the Jiajing Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Jiajing Dynasty, it can be regarded as a considerable honor.
After all, this old man has not been in the court for more than 20 years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult for middle- and lower-level officials to see him.
Saying......
The real Emperor Jiajing looks much older than Chen Baoguo, and his attitude is even more elusive.
But in general, this time Wang Shouye skillfully used 'Tianwei' to suppress evil spirits, and obviously scratched the emperor's itch.
This can be seen from Jiajing's three successive mentions that Shanhai Jian should summarize today's events in writing and submit them to the cabinet as soon as possible.
…………
"Father-in-law, father-in-law?"
was pushed by his godson, Wang Shouye woke up easily, and after a long time of confusion, he remembered that he fell asleep on the way back to the yamen.
By the way, in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Shouye originally asked him to be commensurate with his official rank, but later he thought too much about it, and there are countless people who recognize their fathers and sons in the officialdom these years.
Even Wenchen doesn't take it seriously, let alone a vulgar martial artist.
"Arrived?"
"It's early, and when Lord Supervisor sees that you are sleeping, he will go and gather the others first-now several adults above the guard are waiting for you in the council hall."
"Oh."
Wang Shouye stretched out listlessly, got out of the carriage slowly, and walked towards the council hall while yawning.
The lives of Li Xu and the others, although they don't have to worry about it for the time being-they were left in Xiyuan by the emperor to redeem their merits and do some basic labor to rebuild the palace, and Li Chunfang, Wan Yupeng and others were also fined half a year to a year.
However, the problems caused by strange insects did not end there, but attracted more and more attention from the Shanhai Prison and even the imperial court.
So after Wang Shouye arrived, a debate about how to deal with this strange insect started in the conference hall.
Do you want to send it out of town?
Do you want it to die while it is sick, or wait and see what happens?
Once it really comes to its senses, how should Shanhaijian respond?
It is more appropriate to talk about it than to argue.
This is because no one dares to, let alone has the confidence and courage to make arbitrary decisions.
You know, this thing has been carrying thousands of tons of seafood, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, if this ability is converted into combat effectiveness, even if it is discounted, it will definitely not be matched by ordinary forces.
So, as usual, after more than an hour-long war of words, Supervisor Bai Changqi made the following decision: summarize the minutes of the meeting and submit them to the cabinet for ruling.
Waste of time!
The above four words are a summary made by Wang Shouye.
However, with the exposure of these days, his views on Bai Changqi and others have changed significantly.
At the beginning, he felt that Bai Changqi was not responsible, and he was not qualified to be the leader of an innovative unit like Shanhaijian.
But now think about it.
Emperor Jiajing and the two elders, I am afraid that they may not necessarily hope that the supervisor of Shanhai Jian is a master who is dictatorial and decisive, cutting first and then playing.
Maybe Bai Changqi is a forward-looking master, but he will take advantage of them even more.
O ills of the old bureaucracy!
Silently sighed out of the chamber, blown by the cold wind, the drowsy spirit was lifted, but the empty city plan was also sung in his stomach.
Wang Shouye hesitated for a moment, and decided to go home directly and let the cook cook something to eat, and then recuperate - after all, he has been busy for nearly two days and one night, and he doesn't need to be on duty in the yamen from tonight afternoon to tomorrow morning.
Hey?
Speaking of being on duty, was there something just now that I forgot to mention to Zhang Siwei?
But he stood at the door of the duty room and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember what he was going to say.
had to leave it behind first, roll up the newly copied Di newspaper, and prepare to take it home to pass the time for Zhao Hongyu.
Before, she just looked at it, but recently she wanted to copy it for a record, and the strength to seriously comprehend the instructions of the central government is more than a hundred times stronger than Wang Shouye, a legitimate court official.
"Your Excellency!"
As soon as he rolled up the newspaper and went out, he collided with Qian Qi head-on.
"How?"
Seeing his panicked appearance, Wang Shouye frowned, and said impatiently: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the West Cross Courtyard?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that this morning, there was some movement in the courtyard!"
"Anomalies?"
"The pregnant corpse, as if it were ...... It seems to be struggling in the bathtub. ”
"Clams?"
"And that Xu Huaizhi, it seems that something is not quite right in the morning."
In the morning?
Wang Shouye keenly discovered Huadian, and hurriedly asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It seems to be around five o'clock in the morning."
That's it!
It was just when the black worm roared.
Wang Shouye's spirit was shocked, and he couldn't care about being hungry anymore, so he hurriedly rushed to the West Cross Courtyard with Qian Qi.
The first to ask was naturally Xu Huaizhi.
Compared to Qiao's in the corpse bath bucket, this guy can speak well after all.
It's a pity that this Xu Huaizhi is now a hob meat, relying on the fact that he doesn't feel pain, and he sees that Shanhaijian doesn't mean to destroy him, and adopts a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude towards all exchanges proposed by Shanhaijian.
There was no way, Wang Shouye had no choice but to retreat and ask the internal guards on duty at the time, after Xu Huaizhi heard the roar of the dragon, what was wrong.
However, the internal guard only sensed that Xu Huaizhi seemed to be inappropriate at that time, and he couldn't say what was wrong.
After all, Xu Huaizhi was not only tied up by five flowers, covering his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but also had his limbs sawed off by Qi Gen'er, and it was impossible for him to have any fierce reaction at all.
Helpless, Wang Shouye had no choice but to move to the west wing.
According to the servant woman who was guarding outside, she heard a strange noise inside, and hurriedly opened the door to check, and heard the sweet water in the tub rippling incessantly.
Later, when I looked closely, I found that the tub had moved a little distance, and the fine satin covering the mouth of the bucket also had obvious wet marks.
It can be inferred from this that it should be the pregnant corpse inside, and there has been some violent struggle.
While listening to their story, Wang Shouye ordered someone to pull Qiao's body out of the water.
Aside from the fact that the belly is getting bigger, there doesn't seem to be any noticeable difference from before.
I don't know if this sudden change was a stress reaction to hearing the dragon's roar, or if it caused some lasting effects.
After this turn, Wang Shouye found that he couldn't affect anything, so he had to order: "Strengthen the surroundings of this bath bucket first, so as not to struggle again and knock over the bath bucket." ”
After explaining, he yawned and walked out of the West Cross Courtyard and returned to his small courtyard by car.
He didn't think about anything else along the way, just wondering whether he should finish eating and then sleep, or sleep before eating.
As a result, he returned to the backyard in a daze, and before he could enter the door, Zhao Hongyu came out with a flushed face, and dragged him into the house without saying a word.
What is this for?
"Master, I'm done today!"
It's done?
What became of it?
Wait a minute!
Count the days, and it's time to be clean today.
Let's just say, how can she not be jealous at all!
Although she was sleepy and hungry, Wang Shouye quickly stood up, ready to take the opportunity to torture her, and let her confess the jealousy that a woman should have.
Who knew that Zhao Hongyu did not take him inside, but came to the study, sent a raft of paper to Wang Shouye, and said excitedly: "Master, you tear it up first!" ”
Tear it up?
Wang Shouye took the raft paper suspiciously, and then saw the two complicated seal inscriptions on it at a glance, and was stunned.
Could it be ......
She actually cracked these two sigils?!
