Chapter 20 Assassination

Two people came over.

Marquis Zhongyong recognized that the gentleman from the Ministry of Works was Mr. Wen from the Ministry of Works, who was responsible for supervising the construction of the waterwheel.

"Dongguan has met the Marquis."

"Master Wen, there is no need to be polite." Marquis Zhongyong looked at Master Wang, "Who is that?"

"That person is Master Wang." Mr. Wen said as if he suddenly remembered something, "County Master Shen should know him. It is said that the blueprints for Master Wang's waterwheel were provided by County Master Shen."

Shen Nanyun secretly thought that it was bad when Master Wen introduced the old man to Master Wang. She didn't have time to stop him, and Master Wen had already told him about the blueprint.

Master Wang said coldly, "The person who gave him the drawings was a little girl, but that's not the girl."

Lord Wen frowned.

Just as Marquis Zhongyong asked for more details, Shen Nanyun suddenly shouted and fainted due to physical discomfort.

Lord Wen said with concern, "Master Marquis, why don't you send Lord Shen back first?"

"Then there is a strong need for the little girl to enter the palace tomorrow?"

"The waterwheel has basically been completed. If the waterwheel is turned away tomorrow, he and Mr. Wang will be there."

Knowing that there would be no impact, Marquis Zhongyong quickly took Shen Nanyun back.

About half an hour later, Shen Nanyun suddenly woke up.

Marquis Zhongyong looked at her seriously, "Yun'er, haven't Master Wang and I met?"

Shen Nanyun was stunned for a moment, then said hurtly, "Father, what do you mean by that? Now just based on his one-sided words, will father doubt him?"

Faced with his daughter's question, Zhongyong Hou immediately regretted it.

"He knows." He probably told the old man a lie, "I don't have to go to the palace tomorrow. Since I am weak, I should have a good rest."

Marquis Zhongyong went out and saw a boy running over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is an accident with the waterwheel in the palace. Mr. Xu is begging the county lord to come over as soon as possible."

The Ministry of Industry specially opened a large pool to test the waterwheel, but when people worked together to put the waterwheel into the water, the waterwheel did not move.

The anticipation was at its peak, but I didn’t see what I wanted to see.

Lord Wen had a stern look on his face.

Shen Nanyun came over in a hurry, with some sweat appearing on the tip of her nose.

"I'd like to ask County Master Shen to make a trip to see if the water tanker matter is a big deal. I'd like to ask for an explanation from the emperor."

"He is bright red." Shen Nanyun walked around the waterwheel and asked the question, "Is it possible that the water flow is too small and the waterwheel is too big?"

Mr. Wen asked people to increase the water flow, and the waterwheel moved slightly. Before Shen Nanyun was happy, it stopped moving again.

She was unlucky enough to meet Master Wang tomorrow, and the drawings were almost exposed. Unexpectedly, there would be another problem with the water wheel not turning, and many people gathered around.

Shen Nanyun was getting more and more anxious and mentioned several cocoa names. She was also a little confused and asked, "Master Wen, is there something wrong with the production process?"

The person in charge of supervising the work was standing nearby, "Mr. Shen, are they all built according to my drawings? If I think there is a problem, why didn't I say it before?"

"He knows that everyone is anxious, but if his drawings are not the drawings of the waterwheel, if we fail to deal with any structure well and the waterwheel does not turn, there will be no success."

As if she finally found a reason, Shen Nanyun straightened her waist.

Master Wen frowned and asked someone to ask Master Wang who was in the manufacturing room of the Ministry of Industry.

Master Wang came over and said, "He just made a circle. There is something wrong with our drawings."

Shen Nanyun said unhappily, "Who am I to say there is something wrong with his drawings?"

Master Wang ignored her, and asked someone to take a pen, draw several structures on the paper, and write down the dimensions of the waterwheel's wheels and other structures. "The most important thing about the waterwheel is the coordination between the structures." , the size of the round wheel should be as thick as the axle and wooden spokes."

Master Wang gave several ratios.

As for the other things, Master Wang didn’t need to say anything, Master Wen also became famous.

Shen Nanyun's drawings are here, and the data are seriously out of balance. It's no wonder that the waterwheel can't turn.

Shen Nanyun said eagerly, "Master Wen, I don't want to listen to his nonsense, otherwise he will be bribed!"

"Even his father was wrong about Master Wang's favor. I opened my mouth and said he was bribed." Princess An Ning came in from outside the Ministry of Industry, "Where did you get the courage?"

Shen Nanyun complained in the east and was angry in the west, "Princess An Ning, what kind of ecstasy soup did Yun Qingyin pour into me? Why do I need to protect her like this?"

Princess An Ning said, "He gave me a chance before, otherwise I would have reached the point where I am like Ruming."

A farce in the Ministry of Industry quickly spread throughout the palace.

The imperial decree soon came to the palace.

Shen Nanyun's title as county head was revoked and she was asked to stay at home and think about her mistakes.

Shen Nanyun fainted after returning to the Marquis Mansion, and Marquis Zhongyong and Xu received the imperial edict on her behalf.

Mrs. Xu sighed, "Why can't I carry the child so clearly?"

Marquis Zhongyong pounded the table, "It was his fault that time. If he had not preconceivedly asked Yun'er whether the drawing of the waterwheel was drawn by her, the following things would not have happened by accident."

In Marquis Zhongyong's opinion, Shen Nanyun is not bad in nature.

It's like that girl Yun Qingyin. If she didn't stand up and admit it earlier, she would have to wait until it got out of hand.

"What's wrong with Bu Sheng? If she's wrong, it's wrong. If I spoil her like that, something will happen if she spreads rumors." Mrs. Xu said disapprovingly.

Marquis Zhongyong said, "What could go wrong?"



I don’t know what happened. There have been a lot of guests in the restaurant recently. There is a certain Mr. Wen. Every time after eating the noodles, he asks two questions about the waterwheel. Seeing how he takes care of her business, Yun Qingyin is very proud of her. All answers.

Mr. Wen left happily as if he had found a treasure.

Send off the last wave of guests in the morning.

Yun Qingyin was so tired that she walked away from the door.

Liu Zhu went back early to feed the rhubarb.

Shen Anqiu packed up the last table, went to the pool to wash her legs, took a handkerchief to dry them, walked to the door and walked east with Yun Qingyin, "There are more guests now, please invite more." people? "

"He also had that idea." Yun Qingyin moved her body, feeling a little sore when it hit her shoulder.

Shen Anqiu saw it and said, "Come here for a bit."

Yun Qingyin moved towards him.

Shen Anqiu rubbed her shoulder gently, and the pain disappeared immediately.

"Shen Anqiu, I am really a big treasure."

Shen Anqiu couldn't help laughing, "I don't want to use random words."

"No."

The two of them had a good rest and went home together.

The town, which was heavy with fireworks, was shrouded in darkness, and the cries of hawkers gradually faded away. The warm wind from the countryside blew, and Yun Qingyin's ears twitched, and her footsteps stopped.

"What's wrong?"

An arrow shot through the sky in the night. Yun Qingyin pushed Shen Anqiu away with force and then backed away, barely dodging. The arrow pierced the ground, another foot deep.

She steadied her body and squinted her eyes to look somewhere.
