Chapter 37 Borrowing
When they arrived at the palace gate, the two men got off the sedan chair. Liu Shouyou hurriedly walked a few steps to Zhang Jing, smiled and bowed to Zhang Jing and said, "Eunuch Zhang, what's the matter with this Majesty summoning me?"
After glanced at Liu Shouyou, Zhang Jing immediately smiled: "Mr. Liu, we don't know about this, but Mr. Liu, the emperor announced that you entered the palace. For what, you should know better than ours, right?"
After hearing Zhang Jing's words, Liu Shouyou's heart sank, and it was indeed for the affairs of the Arsenal.
Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Shouyou who was walking in from outside, with no expression on his face. After Liu Shouyou saluted, Zhu Yijun didn't say anything and just let Liu Shouyou stand there. Zhu Yijun himself was flipping through the memorials, looking very busy.
After a while, Zhu Yijun put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Liu Aiqing, please give up on the courtesy!"
Liu Shouyou stood up. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still stood by respectfully, waiting quietly for Zhu Yijun to ask questions.
"I told you to handle the case of the Arsenal Department a few days ago. I haven't seen you give me a reward for this. Today I'm thinking about asking you." Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Shouyou and said lightly: "Is there any difficulty? Where do you need my help?"
Although Zhu Yijun's words sound very nice and his tone is gentle, Liu Shouyou is not stupid either.
I haven't finished my errands for so many days. If I naively think that the emperor is happy, there will be a ghost. My subordinates can't do the errands well, and I have the will to kill them. The emperor is probably similar to that of me at that time.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been celebrating for so long after I came in.
Liu Shouyou quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, the reply given by the Ministry of War is that he got the wrong one. The person who went to the Beijing camp to deliver the abandoned ordnance to the Beijing camp. The person who sent the ordnance was not familiar with the warehouse of the Arsenal Department."
"I mistakenly regard the ordnance of the abandoned armory as good ordnance."
Zhu Yijun was stunned, turned to look at Liu Shouyou, and subconsciously blurted out: "That person is not a temporary worker, right?"
Liu Shouyou was stunned. A temporary worker? What is temporary worker? What does the emperor mean?
After clearing his throat, Zhu Yijun also knew that this was an inertial reaction. He was really a conditioned reflex by the department that was as fierce as a tiger after clearing his throat. After calming down his emotions, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "They said, do you believe it?"
Liu Shouyou said with a grievance: "Your Majesty, I don't believe it!"
"I asked me to investigate the documents of the Ministry of War, but the documents were not bad at all. I thought I would take the person back to the Jinyiwei for questions, but the Ministry of War said that unless there was the emperor's will and there was evidence of guilt, they would never allow me to bring people to the Jinyiwei."
It was this time, and Liu Shouyou didn't care about embarrassing, so he simply locked them up, hoping that the emperor would see him as pitiful and be able to open his mind.
"I asked me to check the opening of the Arsenal Department, but the accounts of the Arsenal Department are complicated and there are no clues found yet. I am incompetent. Please punish me!" When I said this, Liu Shouyou knelt directly on the ground and held his head on the ground.
Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Shouyou and sighed helplessly. Has Liu Shouyou been foolish with the civil servants for so many years?
Is this how the Jinyiwei investigated the case?
However, Zhu Yijun also knew that Liu Shouyou had no choice but to do so. Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "Zhang Jing, you and Liu Shouyou go check together!" As he said that, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go down! I'm a little tired."
Liu Shouyou walked out with an embarrassment, which was disliked.
After looking at Zhang Jing beside him, Liu Shouyou said with a contemptuous face: "Eunuch Zhang, please give me some advice."
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, our family dare not advise Mr. Liu. If the emperor asked us to do the job together, then our family will naturally do our best. If Mr. Liu is not busy, what if he goes to the same place with our family first?"
Liu Shouyou was stunned and nodded with a smile and said, "I'm not busy, where are you going? Please give me an announcement."
"Wu Qing Bo Mansion!" Zhang Jing said with a smile without hiding it.
Liu Shouyou was stunned. What should I do when I went to Wuqing Bo Mansion?
In the capital, who doesn’t know that Wuqing Bo Mansion is not only because Wuqing Bo Mansion is the empress dowager’s mother’s home, but also because Wuqing Bo Mansion is a sensational figure in the capital in recent years. Qingshuixuan of Wuqing Bo Mansion is famous.
Relying on selling mirrors, Wuqing Bo Mansion has made a lot of money in recent years.
Every winter, fresh vegetables make a lot of money. Wuqing Bo Mansion has doubled its expansion in recent years, which can be said to be extremely luxurious. The people of Wuqing Bo Mansion are extremely luxurious, and they definitely make the sound of the capital.
In addition, Wuqing Bo Mansion is the Empress Dowager's family, which is really amazing.
Although Liu Shouyou didn't know why Zhang Jing went to Wuqing Bo Mansion, he had no right to make a decision now and could only follow Zhang Jing. The two of them came to Wuqing Bo Mansion together, and then stood at the door and waited, letting the door go in and inform him.
Although Liu Shouyou and Zhang Jing, one of whom was the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, was ordered by the Sili Supervisor, and the other was the commander of the Jinyiwei, they were still too tough in front of the Wuqing Bo Mansion.
Not long after, a person came out of Wuqing's mansion, and it was the uncle Li Gao.
The two of them quickly smiled and said, "I have met my uncle!"
Li Gao also quickly returned the greeting. Although Li Gao was the son of Wuqing Bo Li Wei and the brother of the Empress Dowager, Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou came to the door together and could not be looked at him casually. He smiled and made a gesture of invitation. Li Gao said, "Two, please, please, my father is waiting for the two in the living room."
The three of them walked in through the side door together. In fact, Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou were not qualified to let Wuqing Bo Mansion open the main gate.
The three of them came to the hall and saw Wu Qing Bo Li Wei sitting here.
Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou hurried up to salute: "I have met the father-in-law!"
Wu Qing Bo Li Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, sit down!" After saying that, he said to the maid who was serving him: "Supply tea to Eunuch Zhang and Lord Liu, and use the tea that was rewarded in the palace last time."
After hearing Wu Qing Bo's words, Liu Shouyou felt a little nervous and turned to look at Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing smiled and seemed to be dissatisfied: "Bestie, this time we are here, we are asking for help from the father-in-law. Our family and Lord Liu are ordered to investigate a case and want to find it."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Qing Bo Li Wei's face had already sunk: "But it involves our Wu Qing Bo Mansion? Tell me who it is, I will definitely forgive you!" After that, he glared at Li Gao: "Is it your kid causing trouble again?"
