It was almost noon, the sun was slowly moving upward, and seven or eight officials were bending down in different places looking for something, yes, this was the place where the Northern Underworld Mission was killed and destroyed, although there had been countless unsuccessful searches, but the government still sent people to look for any missing clues.
What's more, this time the search was different from the past, this time there were people from above, and detailed arrangements were made, so even if they had searched many times, they still had to come here again.
However, when they thought of the fact that there were only three or four towns away, they were suffering from war, and many of them were reluctant, but they still couldn't help but cheer up and search carefully, hoping to find some useful clues......
"Huh, is this...... Look! look, what have I found!" A servant suddenly stopped his idle steps, and suddenly found a shining object in the grass, which would have been shining there if it had not been for the sun, and it would have been difficult for him to see.
"What......" Another official not far away shook over a little unhappily, and casually glanced at the thing in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "This, this, isn't this the ......"
"Yes, I think that's it, let's give this to the adults!" The words revealed indescribable excitement, the big guy didn't find anything all morning, and he found such an object here, how could he not be excited.
"Uh-huh. The two brothers hurriedly rushed to the temporary grass hut under the tree and the government over there, handed over the things in their hands, and described them in detail, and after getting the affirmation of the adults, they were even more excited.
"Sir, what is this?" The guards on the side saw that although Lord Wang had taken the small wooden card, praised the two officials and gave them silver, but after they left, they put the thing on the random wooden table in the grass shed and drank tea.
"Ah...... I'm afraid it's going to change. Wang Shang replied to the question, of course he recognized that thing, although it looked like an ordinary wooden plaque on the face, and it seemed that there was a simple pattern outlined in gold and silver on it, of course, it was precisely because of the light emitted by these gold and silver patterns that it could be picked up by the officer, but it was also this simple gold and silver pattern that made him feel like a wave in his heart.
"My lord?" the guard looked at the wooden card in confusion, and always felt that this thing was not just an ordinary wooden card? At most, it might be related to the Northern Underworld Mission, but it would not make Lord Wang say such a thing, so this made him a little puzzled.
"Go and hand over this wooden card to Master Cheng......" Wang Shang answered the question again, and after ordering this sentence, he sat there and hummed a little song, looking complacent.
When the guards saw him like this, they knew that they couldn't ask anything, and since they said that they would hand it over to Master Cheng Jiancheng, then maybe he could know something from Master Cheng.
Speaking of this Cheng Jianzhu Lord, everyone is also a little strange, it is rumored that this person was promoted in the year of today's holy tour of Jiangnan, but it seems to have entered the eyes of the heavenly family, so in just a few years, he has become the county guard of Jiangnan, which can be described as a celebrity, of course, the ability is also outstanding, and it can be seen from the increase in the taxes paid by Jiangnan in the past two years.
It's just that this Jiangnan is still two directions away from Beiyuan after all, no matter how powerful this Lord Cheng is, he shouldn't be sent here to do anything, but the order has already been made from above, and even if everyone has all kinds of doubts, they have to suppress it in their hearts.
Of course, only Wang Shang knows that all this is to avoid suspicion, and it is all for the Northern Underworld to see, although he doesn't know if this Lord Cheng really has the deep imperial heart as rumored, and whether he is really as capable as the rumors, but he knows that Cheng Jianzhang appeared here just to explain to the Northern Underworld that this matter has nothing to do with the Xuanchi Kingdom.
As for what kind of irrelevant method, before he saw the wooden card, Wang Shangshang was still a little foggy, but since he saw that thing, he thought he should understand something, but no matter what, he was an old man who was already dying, and most of his body had already been buried in the ground, so why should he care too much?
Thinking of this, Wang Shang hummed a little song in a low voice, which was his favorite paragraph, "I have also been to the Qionglin banquet, and I have also beaten in front of the horse royal street, everyone praised me Pan Anxiang, it turned out that the yarn hat was ......."
"This is a good thing......" Cheng Jianzhang played with the wooden card in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he already had a somewhat unsightly face, and a smile always made people feel a little obscene and cold, of course, he didn't know it.
"Yes, it's just Master Cheng...... I'm a little curious, what is this wooden sign?" The guard was curious, which made Wang Shang hang his appetite for a long time, and he couldn't wait for a long time.
"Oh, what, didn't Lord Wang tell you?" Cheng Jianzhang raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't ...... My lord, he only said that it was going to change the sky. "The guards were a little embarrassed.
"Lord Wang is worthy of being an old-timer, this day...... It's about to change. After hearing this, Cheng Jianzhang not only laughed at him as the guards imagined, but also let out a long sigh, his eyes showing melancholy.
"Master Cheng?" the guard cautiously opened his mouth tentatively.
"Lord Wang doesn't tell you, naturally he has a reason, but if you insist on wanting to know, there will always be your way, in order to show respect for the old man Wang, this official will naturally not say much, go back and restore your life. Cheng Jianzhang dispelled his previous thoughts, and only waved his hand to let him leave.
"Lord Xie Cheng mentioned, and his subordinates retired. When the guard heard him say this, he also knew that he should not be in charge of this matter too much, so he politely saluted, and hurriedly withdrew.
"The wooden signs have been found, so let's hurry. After Cheng Jianzhang waited for the guards to leave, he threw the wooden card in his hand to the person behind him, patted his robe and got up.
"Yes. The man took the wooden sign steadily, answered and turned away, taking advantage of that moment, one could vaguely see that the gold and silver outline on the wooden card was an eagle with wings spreading......
Dry main hall.
"Master, Beiyuan News!" a man in black quietly fell from the night.
"Read!" Emperor Zhaohua paused for a moment as he continued to read the chapter, as if he was not affected by it in the slightest, even if the situation in Beiyuan was something he was eager to grasp clearly.
"Beiyuan newspaper: everything is normal, the wooden sign has appeared, no doubt. The man in black unfolded the letter in a cold voice.
A simple report, without procrastination, told the situation in Beiyuan, but this was naturally Cheng Jianzhang's tone, after listening to it, Emperor Zhaohua nodded, and waved his hand to let him go down.
Now that everything is in plan, there is basically no need to worry too much, and the next thing is to wait for the arranged "truth" to unfold in front of the world little by little......
Kitahara County Guardhouse.
"Lord Wang, since you already have this wooden card, this official thinks that this matter should be able to make a conclusion. Cheng Jianzhang sat on the left side of the head, and Wang Shang on the right, the two were holding tea, and their tones were calm, and the scene seemed to be just discussing what to eat, rather than a major matter related to the country.
"Well, the old man also thinks so, after all, the adult is the minister of the Qincha, what will we fully cooperate with?" Wang Shang knew the name of this matter, so he naturally would not take this matter on himself, although he was old, he still wanted to take care of his old age.
"Okay, since Lord Wang has said so, then the official is not welcome, so let's do it. To Wang Shang's surprise, Cheng Jianzhang agreed to it, he thought that he would have to push a few more back and forth, which of these people sent from above is not such a style of acting, this Cheng Jianzhang is a bit interesting.
"Good. However, whether the final result is good or bad, it has nothing to do with him, and the matter ends here.
The two got up and came to the front of the hall from the backyard, there were already many people in the hall, and they were whispering something, and when they saw the two coming, they knew that the matter was decided, and naturally they were more upright and waited for them to issue a notice.
"Okay, everyone is here. Wang Shang was the first to speak, he was older, but his eyes were still as bright, and he swept over, his eyes were full of strictness and coldness, which made people feel a little quiet, for fear of angering the adult.
"Well, cough cough, okay, since everyone has arrived, then the official will first talk about the conclusion that I have just discussed with Lord Wang. Cheng Jianzhang smiled and cleared his throat, although such a person looks gentle and harmless, but Wang Shang, who has been in officialdom for a long time, can see at a glance that this person is not a simple character.
It has always been like this, the more people who feel close to each other on the surface, they will always harm you inadvertently, and some indifferent people may just be not good at words, but what is this person, it has nothing to do with him, as long as the matter of Beiyuan is over, I want to come to this person to enter Beijing, and there will be a better future waiting for him, and Wang Shang is just a local county guard, ready to retire.
"Okay, that's the situation, and then the official will make some arrangements, and I'll bother Lord Wang and you......" Cheng Jianzhang was relieved that things were almost arranged.
If six or seven years ago, someone would have told him that one day you would be favored by the current saint and get everything you never had, he would have scolded that person, but now, when he really has all this, and even stands in such a position, with that person's trust, pointing and arranging, it seems like a dream to think about it.
However, it doesn't matter if it's a dream or not, right now, what makes people even more nervous is that they don't know if such a deployment can go smoothly, no matter what, this plan can only succeed and not fail! Cheng Jianzhang shook his finger secretly......
