Chapter Seventy-Nine: Returning Again and Again (4)
Along the way, the people who gathered followed the music procession, and they kept surrounding Ye Yongjia and others into the church, shouting and blocking the door. Wu Sijing didn't know it, but when he heard the shouting outside, he knew that Ye Yongjia had arrived, so he hurriedly put on his robe and went to the outer courtyard to greet him.
The guards worked outside the door for a long time, and finally dispersed the crowd, and the road was no longer crowded, so Ye Yongjia and the others entered through the main gate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't come unharmed?" Wu Sijing deliberately slowed down his pace and smiled and saluted in front of them.
"Everything is fine," Ye Yongjia patted his arm, "I just don't know that Mr. has nothing to do recently, and his life can be considered leisurely?" ”
Wu Sijing suspected that he was cheating, and hurriedly said: "If you have business, just talk about it together, and talk about these gossips later." ”
"I have come here to read the official documents to these merchants, and I have nothing to do with him. But since you're here, what's the point of chatting? Now that it's noon, I think the merchants are also sleepy, so wouldn't it be more beneficial for everyone to go to the guest room to rest for a while? With that, Ye Yongjia glanced at the merchants with his spare eyes.
The more suspicious they became, but considering the occasion at this time, they couldn't say too much, and they all smiled and said yes, and the county order ordered someone to send them to the guest room.
As soon as the merchants entered the house, they immediately took away the tea servant, and closed the doors and windows on all sides, so that not even a little wind could leak in.
"There's definitely something wrong with that bishop!" The beard began to get emotional, "This old thing only told us to read the documents with marks, but this most important news has not been seen for a long time from the county, and I still need to say what is strange about it?" In vain we trust him so much! ”
"Yes," two more people echoed, "This time, we are specially supported to discuss with Ye Yongjia and others, I am afraid that they are not conspiring with the government and planning to stab us in the back!" ”
The fat merchant hurriedly persuaded: "Alas, if there is no evidence, don't be suspicious of others." ”
Wu Sijing was very depressed: "Brother, from the previous casting proposal, to his current deeds, everything is consistent with the plan in that fake official letter, if it is really for others, how can it not reveal one or two flaws?" You treat him so kindly, but people don't necessarily treat us sincerely! ”
"Yes, Wu Sijing is in the dark, we are in the light, we can't see him, it's easy for him to plot. There is a saying here that 'man is a sword, I am a fish', and you should be aware of the danger of your situation. The other two nodded.
The fat merchant couldn't make up his mind, so he had to sigh: "Then you should be careful, but you can't tear your face with others casually." Let me think about it. With that, he rolled over and got on the bed, tugging at the quilt and turning his face.
"Bishop Wu, you also have a good relationship with Zhixian, right?"
As soon as Wu Sijing sat down, he was shocked when he heard Ye Yongjia throw out such a sharp topic.
"Although I didn't make any contributions, I really ran for the construction of the factory, so I was deeply appreciated by the county parents and entrusted with important tasks. The villain is an ordinary person, and he relies on the county parents to be the most public, so he has today, but he is grateful for his kindness, and he never dares to talk about the word friendship! He bowed his head and replied in fear.
Ye Yongjia looked light, and he smiled faintly at the magistrate: "The gentlemen under your rule love you so much, it seems that the magistrate is really selfless on weekdays." ”
Zhixian was stunned for a moment, didn't know how to respond, was poked by Cai Xianqing next to him, and gave him a look, as if hinting at something, the former understood, and hurriedly followed his words: "The lower officials have not failed the country, and they sit in the hall every day and work diligently, if they make mistakes, Lord Wangye will say it clearly!" ”
"What are you panicking about? I'm just commending you for a job well done in Ninghe. Ye Yongjia smiled, "Could it be that what happened recently, Ye hasn't known yet?" ”
Wu Sijing pinched a few fingers of his left hand and remained motionless.
"I'm not questioning," Ye Yongjia saw that everyone was silent, and hurriedly explained, "After all, people make mistakes, it doesn't matter if you say it, we will understand when it is eventful." ”
Wu Sijing was afraid that the county order would really leak his mouth, so he suddenly opened his mouth: "Lord Ye, what he said is true, but now that he is under pressure from official business, he will not be comfortable with anyone." It is better to read the official document first, and after the matter is resolved, it is not too late to discuss the merits and crimes. ”
"Okay, we're just guests here, we have to save face for Mr. Go and call all the merchants, and we will read the official documents!" ”
"Wait!" Just as Ye Yongjia was about to order the guards under the hall, Li Wenshou suddenly stood up and shouted, "I'm here, if I don't visit the scene, how can I know the reason for building the factory?" Isn't it a joke to read it out in a hurry but not know how to implement it downward? You can first ask the merchants to send the account books to us, read them carefully, and then make a decision! ”
Wu Sijing's face became paler and paler, he kept brushing the white beard under his chin, and his eyes only looked to both sides.
looked at Ye Yongjia for a while, and then said: "Since Li has such a good idea to participate in politics, how can I not listen to it?" Let's adjourn for now. ”
They immediately beckoned the guards to leave, and Li Wenshou asked Wu Sijing again: "Is there enough room here?" We slept here, which was more convenient. ”
Wu Sijing was shocked for a moment, so he replied deeply: "Clean up, there are about ten dormitories, and a few adults are enough." ”
Li Wenshou solicited the opinions of the three people, and then turned his head and said: "Then let's do it, just a few of me live here, but a few soldiers can be left here, and the rest will rest in the village house!" ”
After staying for a short time, the merchants were told to go back to the factory to prepare the account books and come back tomorrow. They hurriedly greeted Ye Yongjia's team, and waited for a few hours just to listen to them read out the imperial decree; But I didn't want to be busy in vain, nothing happened, and I wanted to go back. Their mood was even more worried, each of them was cranky, their chests were bored, and their beards were almost fighting with the people who came to urge them, so that the other three stopped them before they gave up.
After Wu Sijing arranged accommodation for several officials, he walked back to the house alone. It was getting late, and the lights were out, but he still couldn't sleep, so he sat on the edge of the bed and thought.
Ye Yongjia has repeatedly tempted me, and the county magistrate is still so panicked, he must have known about me...... Even if this is not mentioned, why did Li Wenshou block the reading of the official document? It seems that this time, the imperial court is going to make a big move......
He thought of the secret letter of the previous magistrate, and he was even more uncertain about his future. He paced a few steps repeatedly, and suddenly saw the light on the paper window in the distance, which was Li Wenshou's room.
Wu Sijing thought about it, and finally pushed open the door and ran in that direction.
