The ship arrived in Ningbo, docked, and began to unload.

Huaien originally planned to leave, but he accidentally discovered such a big secret, as the boss of the West Factory, how could he easily let it go.

Although I am not sure if it is true, at least stay and find out what is true.

"Drive!"

On the main road on the shore, there was a rush of horses' hoofs.

The messenger of the city shipping department hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "This is a cargo transit terminal, and horseback riding is prohibited!" ”

Xiao Jing turned over and dismounted, took out his waist card and handed it over.

"It turned out to be the factory superintendent, disrespectful!"

The poor man was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he didn't expect that he would stop the factory governor of the East Factory.

Xiao Jing held his arm and didn't let him bow down.

"No need to be polite, let's find someone."

"The little one will be cleared immediately!"

"No need!"

Xiao Jing looked at the crowded dock and said, "Let's find it ourselves, don't surprise the people." ”

The messenger hurriedly said: "If the factory governor needs a small cooperation, please order it as soon as possible!" ”

Xiao Jing nodded and beckoned the two to accompany him, while the rest stayed outside to watch the horses.

It was full of ships and workers unloading and loading, it was very lively, and after looking for a long time, finally, a familiar figure appeared in front of me.

"Wai ......"

Xiao Jing trotted over and was about to shout, but was stopped by a look from Huaien.

He was a little puzzled, because ...... The grand eunuch who held the seal of the dignified celebrant was sitting on a tattered table...... Bookkeeping?

What's the situation?

Wynne waved at him while others were not paying attention.

Xiao Jing pretended to walk over inadvertently, and then, saw Wynn hand over a note.

He hurriedly grabbed it in his hand, puzzled in his heart, what is it, what is it that is mysterious?

took a few steps forward, then opened the note, only glanced at it, and beckoned to the two behind him: "Go!" ”

"Huh? That...... What about Father-in-law? ”

"Father-in-law Huai has an order, don't ask, follow me!"

After Xiao Jing left, Huai En continued to keep accounts until dark, unloaded the goods, and then followed Zhang Laoliu and others to the residence to rest.

This is the mansion of Master Cao, a mansion with three entrances and three exits, and the outermost one is specially reserved for boatmen and men.

Seeing that he was a scholar, Zhang Lao Liu specially prepared a separate room for him, although it was a little simpler, it was much better than those boatmen huddled together.

For three days, he went out with the boatmen every day, went to the wharf to count the goods, paid his wages and often bought some wine and meat, entertained everyone, and was very popular.

Naturally, everyone is willing to get along with this white-skinned and cultured gentleman.

That night, Wynne bought wine and meat again, and dragged a few people to eat, drink and chat in his small house.

Wang Fusheng got drunk as soon as he got wet, looked at Huai'en, and asked, "Sir, I have a question that I have wanted to ask for a long time...... Ask you! ”

Wynne smiled and said, "What's the problem?" ”

"You, you ......"

Wang Fusheng smiled stupidly and asked, "Why don't you grow a beard?" ”

Others are also very curious, and the reader has seen a lot, this ...... Why do you have to shave your beard every day, and you can shave it cleanly.

Wynne's face was very embarrassed, so he had to say, "Don't grow a beard...... Looks young ......"

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Fusheng pointed at Huai En and smiled evilly.

"It turns out that you were worried that when you went to visit the flower boat, you would be disgusted by the girls, hahaha......"

-----------------

"Wynne really said that?"

Zhu Qizhen was surprised, the drawings of the ironclad ship were leaked?

Xiao Jing bowed his head and said: "Father-in-law Huai instructed the slave and maid to follow the line of Cao Ji to secretly investigate, the slave and maid have already sent people out and are investigating Cao Ji's business partners one by one, and Father-in-law Huai stayed in Cao's house as Mr. Bookkeeper, maybe he can find something." ”

】

Zhu Qizhen's face was heavy, if this matter was true, then the problem would be serious.

The ironclad ship is a great killer beyond this era, and its value is far more than 30 million taels of silver, this is a Zhenguo artifact, a priceless treasure!

He immediately thought of Niu Dabao's eucalyptus, and he didn't have a clue, but now with Wynne's information, things seemed to be a little brow-raising.

"You just follow what Huai En said, don't startle the snake, focus on secret visits, I will let Jinyiwei start from other ways, and check on both sides at the same time, if there is any progress on the side of the East Factory, you must contact Yuan Bin in time."

"Slave obeys!"

Xiao Jing was about to retreat, but he thought of one thing again, and he hesitated for a while.

Zhu Qizhen looked at him and said, "If you have something, just say it!" ”

"Slave maid...... There is one thing to ask for......"

Xiao Jing's voice was very small, and it was almost inaudible when he said it.

"Say it!"

"Your Majesty!"

Xiao Jing suddenly knelt down and said: "The anti-thief Li San, although he and Gonggong Huai have known each other for a long time, but it was all twenty years ago, when the emperor disappeared, Gonggong Huai was in a hurry, so he fell for the thief's tricks, this is really not related to Gonggong Huai!" ”

He dared to say this, and at the same time, his whole body fell to the ground, not daring to raise his head.

After listening to this, Zhu Qizhen smiled.

"Xiao Jing!"

"Slave...... The slave is here! ”

"What is your status now?"

Xiao Jing panicked in his heart and said, "The slave is, yes...... The eunuch of the celebrant and the supervisor of the East Factory...... Governor ......"

"You're already the number two person in the internal officials, aren't you...... Don't want to take it a step further? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave has no such intention!"

Xiao Jing didn't know why the emperor asked this, but he just expressed his intentions.

"At the beginning, Jin Ying left, and Huaien became the number one person among the internal officials, and now, you also have a chance."

"Slave, slave...... I am grateful for the emperor's trust, but Huai Gong is honest on the fair day, this eucalyptus really has nothing to do with him, and please ask the emperor to be gracious! ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "If he doesn't leave, how can you go further?" ”

"The emperor looks down on slaves and maids, it is the blessing of slaves and maids, since the slaves and maids entered the palace, even when they were in Shangshan Supervisor and miscellaneous work, they only thought about doing things for the emperor wholeheartedly, and other things...... Didn't think about ......"

"Alright, you go down!"

"The Emperor's ......"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and check your eucalyptus, you don't care about other things!" ”

"Slave obeys!"

Xiao Jing stood up cautiously and walked out backwards.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but smile, he couldn't see that this guy was quite conscientious.

Fang Cai just wanted to test it, because Xiao Jing was already the number two person among the eunuchs, and sooner or later he would have to seize power, so he just took the opportunity to test him.

If this person only thinks about fighting for power and taking the throne in his heart, such a good opportunity at this moment will definitely fall into the well and kick Wynne away completely.

But he didn't.

In this way, in the future, you can rest assured that the power of the celebrant will be handed over to him in the future.

As for Wynne......

This is a problem left over from history, and I am also very helpless.

The eucalyptus of twenty years ago is long gone, and if he can let it go, he will not pursue it.

However, if he had other thoughts, there was no way!
