Chapter Eighty-Five: There Is
It is not easy to fall asleep as soon as possible.
After a day of exposure, at night, although it was already cool outside, it was still as hot as a steamer in the test room. Sweat seeped out of the skin like a spring, and it didn't take long for the clothes to soak through.
A rancid smell permeated the room, as if you were in a seafood shop.
Curled up on the small bed made of green bricks,
After lying down for a long time, not only did I not feel sleepy, but I slept all over my body. Wu Jie didn't know how much water he had drunk, and as soon as he turned over slightly, his stomach rumbled.
More than half of the water in the barrel had been drunk, and the remaining half of the bucket was a little muddy.
The night was even more difficult than the day.
At this time, he didn't care about the decency of the scholar, so he took off his surname and only wore a pair of calf-nosed shorts, and pressed his skin tightly against the green bricks under him, which was much better.
Looking up, the middle-aged boy in the examination house opposite had wrapped a white cloth around his head, and sat numbly in the candlelight, motionless, and the blood oozing from the gauze made his face look very gloomy.
Wu Jie was very sympathetic to him, but unfortunately he couldn't help anything. This guy's spirit has completely collapsed, and this college exam will definitely fail Sun Shan.
"If I hadn't prepared in advance, if I hadn't been able to smoothly shuttle between the two worlds and be suddenly thrown into this ancient world, I'm afraid that the end would be worse than him! It's okay, it's okay......" I don't know how long it was, Wu Jie fell asleep dimly with a hint of happiness.
……
"Wake up, wake up!" Someone was banging on the table in front of him.
I'm so tired, my head is so heavy that I feel like I've stuffed a big lead ball, and my eyes are full of eye droppings.
"Don't bother me, let me sleep a little longer." Moaning in pain, Wu Jie stretched out his hand, but he touched a cup and screamed because of the boiling water in the cup.
Then there was a tidal wave of noise, people talking, people laughing, and the hoarse sound of music coming out: "I am looking from afar, ...... above the moon"
"Hey, it's me, ah, eat, get off work at night, okay, thank you."
"I said, can you change the ringtone of your knock-off machine, I get goosebumps when I hear this song above the moon."
"You have to take care of it!" Someone replied angrily: "If you make trouble with me again, I will change "Seeking Buddha". ”
……
"I'm wearing it back!" Wu Jie was agitated and immediately sobered up.
I tried my best to open my eyes and saw that it was the library where I worked, and there were many readers who came to borrow books. Aunt Liu was standing in front of her with a worried face: "Xiao Wu, are you okay?" ”
Knocking on the door of his head with his hand, Wu Jie's temples were beating suddenly, and he only felt a faint pain inside: "I...... I ......"
I haven't worn it back for three days, that is, I lost three days in the real world. What happened in these three days, Wu Jie didn't know anything.
Moreover, everything in front of me seems to have become a little unfamiliar, only to feel that it is separated by a layer, and it seems not so real.
Wu Jie knows that as his body gets better and better, the fit between his soul and ** is getting closer and closer, and gradually, modern society will gradually disappear from his life.
Seeing that Wu Jie was still sitting there stunned, Aunt Liu glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Wu, it's just a blind date failure, as for this?" I've heard people say, you went out with a few colleagues last night and went crazy all night, and you didn't care about your body too much? O you young people! ”
"Blind date, when am I going to go on a blind date again?" Wu Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said again and again: "Sister Liu, I slept too late yesterday, and I couldn't stand it anymore and stared at it." Wait a minute, I still have some important things to do, can you please help me with the shift? Thank you, thank you! ”
He threw up his hand again and again, and Aunt Liu sneered: "I knew you wanted to find a place to make up for sleep, go ahead, I'm here!" ”
After thanking her a few more words, Wu Jie hurriedly came out of the unit, found an Internet café, and entered the keywords "Ming Dynasty, Jiajing, Jinyiwei, and Wan Wenming" on the search engine, and when he knocked it, more than 100,000 search results appeared.
Most of these hundreds of thousands of search results are useless information, after all, the name Wan Wenming is too ordinary. shouted on the street, at least a dozen middle-aged people turned their heads at the same time, "Who called me?" ”
However, Wu Jie still found many useful things.
At first glance, I was immediately surprised, this Wan Wenming was really an incredible figure in the last years of Jiajing.
This person was originally in Sichuan to do a thousand households in Jinyi, and after the death of Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, Beiya Qunlong had no leader, so he was transferred back to Yanjing headquarters from Sichuan to serve as the commander of Jinyi Weidu.
The so-called servant is equivalent to the director of the office of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, responsible for documents, archives and regular affairs, and is the second most powerful person in the Jinyi pro-army yamen.
For a long time after Lu Bing's death, Emperor Jiajing Yanjing did not set up a new commander. It was not until Emperor Longqing succeeded to the throne that Zhu Xizhong, a descendant of Zhu Neng, a martyr of Jingnan, was appointed as the head of the Jinyi Guard's spies.
In all, for more than four years, from the 39th year of Jiajing to the 45th year of Jiajing, Wan Wenming was the actual helmsman of this secret agency.
It was not until the year of Longqing, when a new commander was inaugurated, that he gradually withdrew from the political arena.
"I can't imagine that I actually have an intersection with such a powerful character, if one is not handled well, maybe it will be doomed. Therefore, whatever you do in the future, be careful. Wu Jiexin said: "Yesterday, I heard that Gui and Niu Lichun said that Wan Wenming will be transferred back to Yanjing immediately, and I want to do the commanding affairs." The new official took office three times, and the case at hand was naturally handled vigorously and resolutely, and if it fell into his hands, the prospects were not good! ”
Fortunately, Wu Jie called Lao Jin again and asked him if he was familiar with the case of Yang Zongyi during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
Director Jin thought about it for a long time, and said that he had never heard of this person's name, and he didn't remember that there was such a case in the Ming Dynasty, so he had to go back to investigate. He also said, this historical material is too cold and really not good, he can help ask everyone who specializes in Ming history.
Wu Jie said yes and asked Director Jin for help.
put down the phone and checked it on the Internet for a long time, Lao Jin's phone finally called, and replied that it was a small case: "Yang Shen's son, you said no and it was over, so I asked for a long time." Yang Zongyi's case was inconclusive in the end, and he was imprisoned for several years, and as soon as Jiajing died, he was released. ”
"Oh, that's it!" Wu Jie let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”
If you think about it, it's understandable. After all, so many years have passed since the Great Etiquette case, and at this time, Emperor Jiajing can't bear to go through the old accounts, so he doesn't expand the scope of the attack.
Seeing that it was already noon, I didn't bother to leave the Internet café again, so I asked the network manager to help order a bowl of noodles and read some information, so I felt tired and lay down on the sofa in the private room.
……
......The middle-aged boy in the examination room opposite hadn't slept yet, and was lying on the table crying quietly.
It was pitch black in front of me, and it looked like it was about early in the morning.
The sweat on Wu Jie's body has been collected, and the hard green bricks on his body have been scavenged one after another, and they are clearly visible when they look at it.
"It turned out that I had gone back to ancient times, and I hadn't finished anything yet, and I came back before I could figure out a way to get ten thousand civilizations......
However, Wu Jie was not worried, he had a strong premonition that he would smoothly travel back to modern society.
As the saying goes: think and dream at night.
There have been too many things happening in this day and night, and I am in the highly stressful examination room, and my mind has not been empty, this situation is hell if I don't dream!
Now, just go ahead and sleep with your head covered.
The light from the opposite side came in, shining right on his arm.
There are several small scars on the upper arms, which are left by vaccinations when I was a child. As the real society and the dream world affect each other, my physical body in modern society also changes little by little.
"Haha, with ......"
Suppressing the intense excitement, Wu Jie lay calmly on the bed with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
