So Wu Zhi hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang Shiyun and Pan Jinlian on the morning of the next day, then left Shuibo Liangshan and went straight to the capital.
Half a month later, Wu Zhi finally returned to Tokyo in a carriage.
What made him quite happy was that Qian had been waiting for him at his residence.
It is said that on that day, after Shi Qian and Wu Zhi parted ways, they hid next to the lotus pond.
And he hid for two days.
During these two days, he also sneaked everywhere at night to find out about Wu Zhi.
However, he checked more than ten times in a row, but still could not find out even a little bit of information about his eldest brother.
This couldn't help but make Shi Qian feel confused and worried to death.
After two days, Shi Qian's injuries had recovered to a certain extent, so he took advantage of the endless darkness and quietly escaped from the palace.
Then he returned to Wu Zhi's residence outside the palace.
In the next period of time, Shi Qian went around to inquire about Wu Zhi's news, while hiding in Wu Zhi's house to recuperate.
Until he was itching to wait and wanted to go out of the city alone to find Wu Zhi's whereabouts, but Wu Zhi came back alone.
Regarding what happened to each other these days, the two brothers naturally had to vomit a lot of bitterness after meeting.
But after three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, all the worries and fatigue of so many days were finally put down.
After a good sleep, this matter was officially over.
…
As for Zhao Ji?
These days, I am naturally gnashing my teeth with anger.
Because in his opinion, such a heavily guarded palace could allow the unknown group of bandits to escape easily.
After that, the group of copycat grass bandits relied on their astonishing willpower to one after another break out of the encirclement built by the armored soldiers guarding the imperial city.
The level of bizarreness has reached an unbelievable level.
When Zhao Ji learned from Tong Guan that the bandits and grassroots bandits had completely escaped and had no trace of them at all.
In Zhao Ji's heart, he suddenly felt that the royal majesty had completely dissipated.
Today, that group of thieves were so bold that they wantonly cuckolded Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji didn't even dare to think about what things that group of bandits could do in the palace after this.
Maybe a few months later, Zhao Ji fell asleep on his dragon cave, and his head moved strangely.
In this regard, as the Nine-Five Supreme Being, he naturally cannot give up.
So after that, Zhao Ji ordered Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others to suddenly increase the number of patrolling guards in the palace to five or six times.
At the same time, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others were ordered to find out who the group of bandits who robbed people from the palace that day were.
From now on, once the identity of that group of bandits is discovered, heavy troops must be sent to encircle and suppress them.
When the time comes, even if the bandits cannot be eradicated, today's culprits will still be sentenced to death.
As for Gao Qiu and Tong Guan, they naturally did not dare to slack off at all in response to Zhao Ji's instructions.
Dang even said to him again and again:
"Even if a humble minister is shattered to pieces, he will still accomplish all the official's wishes!"
…
Today Wu Zhi originally planned to go to the palace to find Liu Mengli.
After all, he still has her golden phoenix seal in his hand.
Now that his wife Jiang Shiyun is out of danger, there is no need for him to hold this thing in his hand anymore.
If he accidentally loses this thing someday, it will actually be a troublesome thing for him.
It's better to return this thing to Liu Mengli now.
But when Wu Zhi prepared his things and was about to go out to find Liu Mengli, he suddenly thought of another thing.
That is, before this, Zhou Xing, one of the three internal affairs managers in the palace, had defrauded Jiang Shiyun of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Now that I have some free time here, how can I be worthy of my wife if I don't clean him up properly?
But he immediately thought of another problem, that is, after he entered the palace, if he used his official identity to deal with Zhou Xing, although he could do it, the excuse was really hard to find.
After all, before this, he and Zhou Xing had never said anything about each other, and they had never even met.
It seems unreasonable for him to punish Zhou Xing severely in his official capacity.
But if he is allowed to deal with Zhou Xing in a secret capacity.
It seems that his lightness skills are not good enough to allow him to enter and leave the Ministry of Internal Affairs at will.
So he wanted to hand over this task to Shi Qian for execution.
As for himself, he can enter the palace later in the evening and renew his relationship with the beautiful woman by giving Liu Mengli the golden phoenix seal.
When Wu Zhi assigned this task to Shi Qian, Shi Qian agreed without much hesitation.
Because in his opinion, this task is really not difficult, and he has almost healed his injuries now.
It doesn't seem to be a problem if I think I can enter and exit the palace.
So later that day, Wu Zhi, who was wearing dark blue patchwork clothes, and Shi Qian, who was wearing night clothes, left their residence and went straight to the palace.
After Shi Qian bypassed many obstacles and climbed over several houses, he finally found his goal today:
As one of the three top managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing seems to be in a very good mood today.
Although he didn't have a drink with his two subordinates in the room like last time, he was still alone in the room, drinking tea and humming a little tune very comfortably.
After drinking for a long time, he took out a wooden box from his bedside.
After confirming that no one was outside the room, he slowly opened the wooden box.
And what was inside was nothing else but the more than 300,000 taels of silver he had accumulated through deceit and deceit during the more than ten years he had been in the palace.
At this moment, they are all in the form of banknotes, neatly stacked in wooden boxes.
It is said that a man only pursues three things in his life:
The first is power, the second is money, and the third is women.
But as for Zhou Xing, now that he has become a eunuch, the third thing is of little interest to him.
As for rights, although his current position as head of the Internal Affairs Bureau is not very high, he can still be regarded as a moderate official.
If you want to climb up in the future, it will still be quite stressful for now.
So he put almost all his energy into making money and making money.
