This feeling made Su Ziji a little unhappy. He thought to himself: "Although I have been operating in the capital for a while, if something big happens, I still feel that it is not enough."
If you want to really fight for something, you have to at least be like the King of Shu before you can compete with the King of Qi.
But given the emperor's attitude towards him, it is likely that it will be difficult to achieve this goal in the short term.
What he lacks now is actually the connections among the officials in the capital. Even if the wild Taoists have money, they can only make friends with the lowest level, and they often get information much later.
In a short period of time, such information acquisition does not have a big impact, but once the identity has passed the clear path and entered the field, this level will not be enough.
As soon as I returned to the government office, Cen Rubai came with a secret letter not long after.
"Sir, this is a letter brought by a passing caravan. I have checked it. There is a code mark on the envelope. This is from Brother Lu."
Su Ziji took these and opened them. Sure enough, something happened in Jingli.
The reason why Lu Fengyun didn't pass the letter quickly was because he suspected that someone was targeting him through this method of contact. Lu Fengyun had been walking around in the world for half his life. He was extremely cautious. Once he thought someone was targeting him, he would immediately withdraw his hands and stop moving.
.
It wasn't until he heard the news that the emperor planned to let Su Ziji return to the capital that Lu Fengyun had to spread the news. To be on the safe side, there were several attempts to make it happen, and finally a group of people who had nothing to do with Lu Fengyun came to the rescue.
The caravan brought the letter over by the way.
"The emperor summoned me back urgently?" Su Ziji's expression was solemn. Why is this?
I have only been in Shun'an Mansion for two or three months. Even if I make a fortune, it will still take a year. Why should I be called back in such a hurry?
"Master?" Seeing him like this, Cen Rubai called softly.
Su Ziji handed the letter and code book to Cen Rubai to read, while he himself fell into deep thought.
They say that God’s grace is unpredictable, but there are actually such rumors in the capital?
"Sir, your majesty has seen your previous achievements, and he feels that all the matters in Shun'an Mansion have been resolved, and there is no need for you to stay." Cen Rubai comforted him after reading the letter.
But then he added: "However, this matter alone may not seem like much, but Brother Lu was targeted at the same time. Putting these two things together is unusual."
Su Ziji nodded and stood up: "How many mansions are there in this dynasty?"
Cen Rubai didn't know why, so he also stood up and said: "I have seen the government offices. Generally speaking, there are more than 140 prefectures and no more than 150."
"Yes, there are one hundred and fifty mansions. For the emperor, so what if the Shun'an mansion is governed by flowers and flowers? How much attention can you pay?"
"What do my achievements mean, can they be as good as Tian Ting?"
This news may be true, or it may not.
"What on earth is the emperor thinking?"
Su Ziji was a little confused. It was not that he couldn't see the emperor's attitude towards him. Unless something big happened and the emperor's mind was changed, it would be impossible to call him back to Beijing at this time.
Seeing Su Ziji thinking deeply, Cen Rubai, who was also confused, didn't want to disturb him.
The room became quiet for a moment, until footsteps hurriedly came from a distance and reached the door.
Cen Rubai saw it at a glance and shouted: "You are so nervous, are you rebelling? The master is working, please don't disturb me!"
"Master Su!" The official was sweating and panting. When the two of them looked at each other at the same time, he didn't have time to tell the difference and saluted Su Ziji: "The governor and the imperial envoy have arrived at the dock and want to see you immediately!"
"Imperial envoy, who is it?"
According to what Lu Fengyun wrote in the letter, even if there was news in the capital, the imperial envoy would have arrived too soon, right?
Even if the imperial envoy traveled day and night as quickly as possible as soon as he received the order, he couldn't reach Shun'an Mansion at this time, right?
"It's Envoy Luo Qin." The envoy didn't dare to say his name directly: "He came with the Governor."
"Oh? It turns out to be Commissioner Luo Qin!"
Isn't Luo Pei patrolling the province? What else can he do to him?
Su Ziji felt more and more that there was something big going on here, so he didn't have time to think about it carefully and said, "I understand, let's get over it."
He glanced at Cen Rubai, who nodded.
Even if it was a misfortune rather than a blessing this time, Cen Rubai could still escape with his escape. Cen Rubai would naturally be the one to take care of the backup plan left.
With this worst plan in mind, Su Ziji took an ox cart and hurried to the dock.
An official ship was parked on the shore, and an ox cart arrived. Su Ziji got off the boat and heard an eagle's cry.
I looked up and saw only a black dot flying high in the sky.
Looking closer, I saw that the pier was under martial law, and the people standing there were the government officials who had rushed over, and the people and merchants gathered to watch the excitement. Although there were a few armored soldiers lined up, they did not smell murderous intent, and I felt a little relieved.
Moreover, the person greeting me also recognized him. He was Zhang Sui, an eighth-grade official. He still had the same upright and fair appearance, and he was smiling: "Master Su, the imperial envoy is waiting for you on the boat. Please come."
"It turns out it's you. What can you teach me, the imperial envoy?" Su Ziji looked away and stepped onto the boat.
"This subordinate doesn't know." Zhang Sui learned his lesson last time, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He invited Su Ziji to come in and saw the two of them.
Entering the cabin, in addition to Luo Pei who was looking at him, a third-grade official in his fifties was looking at him. He and Qi Hongxin were similar in age. They both had gray hair on their temples, but other than that, they were well maintained.
And I have seen him, he is the governor of this province.
He was just looking at himself with some surprise, as if he wanted to see something clearly through this face.
He just wanted to pay tribute to the two of them, but Luo Pei didn't give him this chance. His expression suddenly became serious and he said: "Su Ziji, take the order!"
Su Ziji knelt down and said, "I accept the order from Su Ziji, the acting county magistrate of An Mansion!"
"According to the emperor's instructions, I will return to Beijing immediately with Su Zi's registration. There must be no mistake!"
After speaking the oral instructions, Luo Pei's expression immediately changed. He no longer had a serious expression, but smiled, and his smile was very kind: "Master Su, I also want to convey the order to the Dragon Palace, and return to the capital as soon as possible. Do you have
What needs to be cleaned up? If there is anything, just go ahead and clean it up. You will have to leave in an hour at most."
"On the way, we will go to Panlong Lake. After announcing the decree to the Dragon Palace, we have to speed up and go back. Time waits for no one."
"I'm going to clean up now, sir. Please wait for a moment." Su Ziji felt that both of them looked very strange and didn't know why, so he had to speak immediately.
Still wanting to salute, the governor smiled and said: "There is no need to be more polite, the emperor's life is important, you should go back and clean up quickly!"
Su Ziji was such a smart man. He agreed, walked out, turned his face, and his face turned red: "Could it be that the emperor called me back to recognize me as a member of the sect?"
"Otherwise, why are these two third-grade officials acting like this?"
