In the early morning, the sunny weather for several days was replaced by dark clouds all over the sky.
A cool breeze blew by, and occasionally a few raindrops floated.
On the street, an ordinary carriage came out of the gate of the East Factory, passed through the crowd, and headed towards the direction of the Inspectorate in a dusty atmosphere.
In the hall of the Inspectorate, Jiang Qianxiao, the censor of Zuodu, was already sitting on a chair next to the table.
I didn't dare to be careless about what the emperor told me, and I waited for the arrival of others.
After a while, Youdu Yushi Wanqing also hurriedly walked into the hall.
The raincoat was already wet. Drops of rainwater fell on the ground along the raincoat.
"Good morning, Mr. Jiang." Seeing Jiang Qianxiao, Wanqing greeted Jiang Qianxiao with a smile on his face and began to take off his raincoat at the door.
"Is it raining heavily? When I came here just now, it was just a few drops here and there." Jiang Qianxiao replied with a smile.
As usual, even if the Inspectorate has a case to handle, everyone will consciously stop reporting on it when it rains.
But today, not only did I arrive a long time early, Wanqing even went all the way to the Inspectorate wearing a raincoat in the rain.
"Master Jiang came early, so I was a little late in bed." He smiled, put his raincoat outside the door, and Wan Qing hurried in.
"It's a rainy day, why don't Mr. Wan come here in a carriage? If you get caught in the rain and get cold, at this juncture, I don't want you to fall ill." Jiang Qianxiao said, putting a bowl of hot water on his face with a smile.
The steaming tea was pushed towards the other party.
Taking the tea bowl, Wan Qing nodded to express his gratitude, and then sat opposite Jiang Qianxiao: "I live relatively close to our Inspectorate, and I had already rushed over when I asked my servants to prepare the carriage. Who knew the rain would get heavier and heavier,
In previous springs, there was such heavy rain."
As he said that, he picked up the hot tea and took a sip. He immediately felt much warmer all over.
Looking at the other party's trembling body from the rain, Jiang Qianxiao shook his head.
"If this had been the case normally, we wouldn't have needed such a moment and would not have dared to delay doing things early. But the relationship between this matter is really too important. The prince's affairs are already top-notch, and the emperor wants us to do it quietly.
Handle other things quietly. It’s really difficult for our Inspectorate.”
"Is there any way? We are just here to share the emperor's worries. After a while, other people came, and I arranged for them to start collecting information on the faults of the purple-robed captain." He raised his arms, and Wan Qing moved vigorously a few times.
Try your best to stop shaking and get into work mode.
"Well," Jiang Qianxiao nodded and said, "Others can collect these evidences. Regarding the issue of firearms, only the two of us collected it ourselves. Alas, the task given to us by the emperor is extremely arduous."
"No, Dongchang's firearms haven't been used yet. The emperor is going to find problems with them and give this task to our Inspectorate. We can't go to Dongchang's training ground to find problems. In this matter,
I can't rush it." In order to move his body, Wan Qing said.
"I'm not in a hurry, but the Emperor is anxious." Jiang Qianxiao shook her head helplessly.
"My lord, my lord." A soldier on duty at the door hurriedly ran in.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? Just tell me if you have anything to say." Wan Qing glanced at the other party and said loudly.
Ever since the incident happened to the prince, all the Imperial Guards in the capital have been dispatched to carry out a large-scale manhunt in the capital, which has made people panic.
Early in the morning, the soldier on duty at the door hurried in again. How was he so surprised?
After this incident, it's time for the guards of the Inspectorate to sort themselves out.
"My lord, Mr. Lin Shangli, Mr. Lin of Dongchangchang, would like to see you." The soldier on duty hurriedly bowed and replied.
In the eyes of the soldiers on duty at the Inspectorate, officials from the six ministries of the imperial court came, and that was that. Just report according to normal procedures and let them go.
However, Dongchang is different. Not only are the people in Dongchang domineering, they also have the right to monitor all departments of the imperial court.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the Inspection Commission was trying the purple-clad captain of Dongchang, in order to avoid suspicion, Dongchang did not arrange for the eunuchs to come and monitor the case.
Today, the factory owner of Dongchang comes to visit in person. How dare the soldiers on duty be careless?
"What, the Duke of Dongchang is here?" Jiang Qianxiao, the censor of Zuodu who was named after the six ministers, also stood up with a "chuck".
Wanqing, who was on the opposite side, also stood up.
He looked at the soldier reporting, then looked at Jiang Qianxiao, with a worried look on his face: "What is Lin Shangli here for? Isn't he here to ask for someone?"
"You want someone? Who do you want? Our Inspectorate is following the emperor's order to investigate the purple-clothed captain. How dare he dare to come and ask for someone?" Jiang Qianxiao said calmly with a straight face.
"At this time, it's raining heavily outside. Why is he here in a hurry if he doesn't want someone? Dongchang has to bear the greatest responsibility for the prince being taken away. This Lin Shangli must be unable to sit still and is looking for trouble with our Inspectorate.
." Turning his eyes, Wan Qing said quietly.
"No, absolutely not." Jiang Qianxiao shook his head, "This Lin Shangli is the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies. He lives next to the emperor. How dare he disobey the emperor and come to the Inspectorate to ask for someone. Besides, we have already sent Ziyi
The school captain was transferred to the Jinyi Guard Prison, and he was asked to participate in commanding the East Factory to investigate the case of the missing prince. There is no need for him to be too fussy with our Inspectorate."
"This is a man, will he discover something?" Wan Qing asked hurriedly.
"Huh", Jiang Qianxiao let out a long breath, "No matter what he is here for, we can't turn him away. We will know what he means by listening to it."
"Your Excellency is right." Wan Qing nodded and looked at the soldier on duty who had been waiting for a reply, "Go and welcome the factory owner in."
"Yes." The soldier on duty responded hurriedly and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Qianxiao stopped the other party and then walked into the back hall.
Wan Qing was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what Jiang Qianxiao was trying to do.
On this rainy day, people have already arrived at the gate. The delay is too long, which is not good for both public and private purposes.
In a moment, Jiang Qianxiao had already walked out of the back hall. But he had a brand new coir raincoat in his hand.
"Lin Shangli must have arrived at the Inspectorate so early in a carriage. It's still some distance away from the gate. You put on your raincoat and this dry raincoat and pick him up in person."
Jiang Qianxiao said as he handed the coir raincoat in his hand to Wanqing's hand.
Wan Qing instantly understood what the other party meant, took the coir raincoat, and walked towards the coir raincoat he put at the door.
With such a warm welcome to you, how can you have the nerve to cause trouble with the Inspectorate?
