220. Chapter 220 This is why I came to you this time
After being silent for a long time, he raised his head, looked at Dequan, and said, "Let her in."
After not seeing her for a few days, he knew that his heart was not as calm as it seemed. He just deliberately didn't think about her, but it didn't mean that she really didn't exist in his mind.
She didn't bother him for several days in a row. When he heard that she was coming to see him again, the joy in his heart far exceeded the rejection. He just didn't refuse when he should have refused.
"Maybe...she really has something important to do with me."
He held the memorial and muttered absently to himself.
"emperor."
Shangguan Yu didn't know when he had entered the palace, looked at Nangong Shuo who was sitting in front of the desk in a daze, and asked aloud.
He raised his head from the memorial and looked quietly at Shangguan Yu.
It's just that they haven't seen her for a few days, but seeing her this time actually gave him the illusion that things were different.
The woman in front of him no longer seemed to be the woman who made him grit his teeth in anger and even wanted to strangle her to death.
"Do you have a problem with me?"
He spoke up and got straight to the point.
"Uh...oh."
Shangguan Yu didn't know why he was staring blankly at Nangong Shuo just now. When he heard his voice, he felt a little uncomfortable on his face.
Pursing her lower lip calmly, she lifted her feet, walked to Nangong Shuo, and said:
"Your Majesty, today, an old man from Hejin County came to the Yamen to report the case, saying that more than a dozen three- and four-year-old children have gone missing in their village."
"Hejin County?"
Nangong Shuo frowned and said, "Hejin County is two thousand miles away from the capital (converted into kilometers: two thousand miles = 1000 kilometers). If the old man doesn't go to the county magistrate, what is he doing in the capital?"
"Both the magistrate and the magistrate didn't care. He had no way to ask for help, so he traveled a long distance to the capital to find me."
Shangguan Yu replied, and upon hearing Shangguan Yu's answer, Nangong Shuo's face turned a little angry.
"The county magistrate and the magistrate don't care? Then what do I do with them?"
Shangguan Yu did not answer, but remained silent for a long time.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Nangong Shuo spoke up again.
"That's why I came to see you this time."
Shangguan Yu looked directly into Nangong Shuo's eyes and continued: "I plan to go to Hejin County to investigate this case in person. I hope the emperor can give me the privilege of handling the case."
To put it more clearly, it is to give her the qualifications and rights to directly execute prisoners, that is, behead them first and then execute them, and it can be executed locally without the approval of the Ministry of Punishment or the permission of the emperor.
More commonly, it means that the emperor's imperial envoys have the power to act directly on behalf of the emperor.
When Nangong Shuo heard that she was going to Hejin County to investigate the case in person, his eyes suddenly turned to her, "You want to go to Hejin County in person?"
There was a hint of anger in Nangong Shuo's tone, and before Shangguan Yu could even respond, he immediately objected: "I don't agree!"
Let her, a girl, go to Hejin County to investigate such an unknown case. What if she encounters any danger?
Why does this woman do things without using her brain, and just do whatever she thinks in her heart?
Shangguan Yu didn't expect that Nangong Shuo would disagree. Hearing his refusal, he became anxious, "Why don't you agree? When you agreed to me running the Minsheng Yamen, were you just doing things for the people of your capital? In addition to other matters outside the capital,
