Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

"I order you to check the location where the young man appeared."

"Did they really appear out of nowhere in the mountains, or were they spies sent out by other countries in disguise?"

"You must investigate thoroughly. Find out where she has been, what she has said, what she has done, and who she has come into contact with!"

Until now, Ying Zheng still has a little doubt about Qi Pan's appearance and her identity!

He must thoroughly investigate all suspicious people!

Eliminate all potential dangers one by one!!!

Nineteen was shocked!

He lowered his head and said, "Yes!"

In the warehouse.

Zhao Gao put the box on the shelf, turned around and was about to leave, wondering what he was thinking of.

Stopped again.

He turned around, looked at the box with intricate patterns, and walked towards the shelf step by step.

He reached out, opened the box, and looked at the neatly arranged stack of red banknotes inside.

After hesitating for a long time, he still stroked it gently with trembling hands.

The unique texture of the banknotes made his heart sway and waver.

Zhao Gao turned around and looked around like a thief.

After making sure that there was no one around, he folded a banknote in half and stuffed it into his sleeve.

He closed the box again and walked out of the warehouse.

The young eunuch guarding the storehouse was standing at the storehouse door. When he saw Zhao Gao coming out, he stepped forward and saluted with a smile on his face.

"Master Zhao."

"Ah."

Zhao Gao glanced down at the young eunuch and said, "Close the storehouse."

"Take good care of His Majesty's things. If anything is missing, not only will my family be blamed, but His Majesty will not forgive you."

Hearing this, the young eunuch said hurriedly: "Oh! Yes, yes, yes!"

"Master Zhao is right. I will definitely keep an eye on the warehouse! I won't dare to leave even a step!"

"Ah."

Zhao Gao snorted and walked away with his chin raised.

Looking at the direction where he disappeared, the young eunuch finally stood up straight and said "Pooh" to the side!

"Pooh!"

"what!"

"Isn't it because you rely on His Majesty's favor that you dare to be so arrogant?"

"When His Majesty gets tired of you, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Turning around and looking around, seeing that there was no one around, the young eunuch walked to the door of the warehouse.

Curiously, he poked his head out and looked inside.

Not daring to go in, he quickly retracted his head and slammed the warehouse door shut.

............

Silent all night.

the next day.

After the court session, Ying Zheng sat behind the imperial desk, holding bamboo slips in his hands, and handled state affairs.

Behind a desk at the lower side sat Wang Wan.

The table in front of him was piled with rolls of bamboo slips.

There was even a small pile on the ground next to it.

Although there were many government affairs to deal with, Wang Wan was extremely happy at this moment.

It is an honor for him that Your Majesty thinks so highly of him.

The more government affairs he deals with, the more His Majesty values ​​him!

He held the bamboo slips in one hand and a carving knife in the other.

The little mustache on his chin twitched happily.

Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Gao who was standing beside him, "Go to the imperial kitchen and get a bag of rice."

"Take it with you when you leave the palace later. Also, go to the Weaving Department to see if the robes are ready. Take them with you."

Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "Yes."

Then he walked out of the hall quickly.

Ying Zheng continued to look down at the bamboo slips in his hand. After finishing one roll, he put it aside, picked up another roll and continued processing it.

There were many government affairs in the court, and he handed over the unimportant ones to Wang Wan to handle.

As for the remaining ones, there are still many that he needs to deal with personally.

Nineteen suddenly appeared in the hall and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and asked, "What? What did you find out?"

Nineteen said, "Your Majesty, that prayer seemed to appear out of thin air."

"In the territory of Daqin, apart from the mountains, no trace of her living anywhere else has been found."

Oh?

Is it true that there is no trace of her in the territory of Daqin except in the mountains?

Although only one night had passed, Ying Zheng was very clear about the capabilities of the Black Ice Guards.

Since Nineteen said that he didn't find anything, that means there is definitely not a single clue at all.

No trace to be found.

But Ying Zheng never let down his guard, he gave orders in a deep voice.

"Keep investigating, and check in the surrounding countries."

"promise!"

Nineteen took the order, then moved his feet, flashed, and disappeared on the spot.

Wang Wan, who was sitting behind the desk, was not surprised by this situation.

He and several important officials in the court all knew about the Black Ice Guards in His Majesty's hands.

He comes and goes without a trace, has great martial arts skills and is ruthless.

Wang Wan continued to keep his head down and handle the government affairs at hand.

He needs to hurry up and deal with so much. He doesn't know if he can finish it before dark.

The number of bamboo slips on Wang Wan's desk was three times more than that on Ying Zheng's desk.

An hour later.

Ying Zheng put down the last bamboo slip in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.

He stretched, pounded his legs, and stood up.

Ok?

Aren’t your legs sore and numb today?

strangeness.

He knelt down and dealt with state affairs for more than an hour, but his legs didn't feel any soreness or numbness at all? !

Yesterday in the inn, I only knelt for about half an hour, but I felt so numb that I couldn't stand up.

Is it possible that his legs are really shy? ?

Ying Zheng said to Wang Wan who was standing behind the desk, "My Lord, I will leave the palace for a while. I will leave this place to you."

Wang Wan quickly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stood up, bowed, and said.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely handle all these government affairs."

"Okay, I'm done."

Ying Zheng nodded with a smile and said to Zhao Gao who was standing beside him.

"Zhao Gao, you don't need to follow me today. Stay here and wait for the king's orders at any time."

"Go to the imperial kitchen later and tell them to prepare some meals."

"Let Wang Qing eat some food at noon. Yesterday the young man mentioned three meals a day."

Zhao Gao quickly bowed and said, "Yes."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Wang Wan, "Your Majesty, you have worked so hard, you should also have three meals a day, you should eat more."

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work.

Only then can he handle the affairs of state better.

Seeing that Ying Zheng cared about him so much, Wang Wan was so moved that his eyes turned red.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will eat more and work hard!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and under Wang Wan's grateful gaze, he walked into the side hall.

He wanted to change into some ordinary clothes before leaving the palace.

Zhao Gao, who was left behind, looked at the favored Wang Wan and became so angry that his eyes turned red!

Your Majesty actually didn't even take him with him when he left the palace? !

It must be that stubborn old man who took advantage of his absence to speak ill of him to His Majesty!

This old guy is really annoying!!!

..........

In the open space in front of the inn.

Qi Pan lay on a recliner excitedly, kicking the ground lightly with his feet.

The recliner began to sway gently.

This is what Ying Zheng saw when he arrived.

He smiled and strode towards Qi Pan, "Little brother Qi!"

Hey?

Qi Pan looked up and saw that it was Ying Zheng. He smiled and said, "Brother! You are here!"

She got up from the recliner and waved to Ying Zheng.
