Chapter 84 Investigation
The next day.
Outside the Baoyuan Bureau.
"I said...Old man, if you have nothing to do, I'm still busy! I don't have time to spend time with you here!"
Wang Siqi looked at Zhao Benchang and couldn't help complaining.
Zhao Benchang had a goatee, and his eyes were a little suspicious.
However, after hearing what Wang Siqi said.
Zhao Benchang was not angry but happy. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "You really have a bit of a gangster in you. You do your thing! I am also acting on orders and I am here to investigate you!"
"Just investigate! But you can't. Follow me wherever I go!"
"This is called! Personal investigation!"
"wipe!"
"Also! You can call me a hooligan, but I am not a hooligan! I have knowledge, culture and a bottom line... The third thing is that I am a hooligan!"
This old man is rotten.
Wang Siqi had long heard that the old man standing in front of him was impeaching him, and more importantly, the old man was determined to investigate himself.
But the matter is still in the ears, and people have already come to the door.
This made Wang Siqi a little annoyed. At this moment, he did not give Zhao Benchang a good look and continued: "If you just stay in front of me and investigate, it's okay. If you dare to get in the way! Don't blame me for going too."
You tell me, why have I never heard of a personal investigation?"
"Hehe! Boy... there are so many things you haven't heard of!"
"have to!"
Wang Siqi raised his feet and walked in. Zhao Benchang, although he was old and strong, followed closely behind him. Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, civil servants who were not very physically strong seemed to have poor official career.
"Master Wang...this..."
Ergouzi saw Wang Siqi come in and wanted to talk about something.
But seeing a strange old man with gray hair following behind Wang Siqi, who was a little stuck in his words, Wang Siqi, who was already irritable, waved his hands casually and said: "This old man just doesn't have a brain, so don't worry about him... Just say whatever you want...
Oh, by the way, don’t mention anything that has nothing to do with Baoyuan Bureau here!”
"After all, I'm here to work... I'm not here to kill time like some old guys!"
Hearing Wang Siqi's words, Zhao Benchang on the side almost became angry and said to himself: Good boy! Who cares about calling me an old man! If I catch you someday, I will definitely make you miserable.
But now... Huh! Just be arrogant for now!
“Jurong..”
"Wait! Let's go into the back room and talk!"
When Er Gouzi mentioned Jurong, Wang Siqi immediately interrupted what he wanted to say, pulled Er Gouzi over and whispered: "This old guy is an official in the court. He just impeached me yesterday, but what's happening in his hands?"
There is no evidence, so they are following me to try to catch me!"
"Don't bring up the matter in Jurong anymore. Just follow the previous arrangements and work hard!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Siqi did not forget to glance at Zhao Benchang.
Hearing what Wang Siqi said, Ergouzi couldn't help but look at Zhao Benchang on the side, but the caution in his eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by... hostility!
Good guy, such a good Mr. Wang... you old guy is still impeaching the government!
Simply not human...
So Ergouzi nodded quickly and said, "Master Wang, I understand!"
However, Zhao Benchang came forward at this moment and said loudly: "What are you whispering about? I didn't hear a word clearly. Why? Is there something shameful that I am afraid that I will know about it?"
A cold snort.
Wang Siqi looked at Zhao Benchang playfully and said, "Don't take yourself too seriously, old man. If you can't catch me, I'll see what you say when the emperor asks!"
Zhao Benchang couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
The prodigal son in front of him really had no intention of respecting the old and caring for the young. He actually called himself an old man over and over again.
So some people said angrily: "That's not something you, little guy, have to worry about. But if you are secretive, don't blame me for finding out and reporting the truth to the emperor! By then, even if your father comes, he will have to treat you.
offend!"
"Then let's wait and see?"
"snort!"
However, Zhao Benchang had an extra thought in his mind.
Just because he just heard a place from Er Gouzi's mouth, and that was Jurong.
Jurong?
It's just an ordinary small county not far from the capital. Why did it appear so suddenly in the mouth of someone who seemed to be very close to Wang Siqi?
Could it be that there is an article in this.
....
Time flashed to noon.
It's time to eat at the Baoyuan Bureau. The Baoyuan Bureau, like the workshop below, provides lunch for officials of all sizes in the Baoyuan Bureau every day.
The required silver was also taken from Baoyuan Bureau's account.
After stretching from the table, Wang Siqi called to Er Gouzi beside him and said, "Er Gouzi, what delicious food did we cook in the Baoyuan Bureau canteen at noon today!"
When Ergouzi heard this, he quickly replied: "Sir, today we have pork stewed with cabbage and steamed buns. The wife of the craftsman Liu's family came to make them! The taste is amazing!"
"Okay, I'll have a meal later to see if it's really that delicious!"
"okay!"
Listening to the conversation between Wang Siqi and Er Gouzi, Zhao Benchang couldn't help but feel a little hungry. He touched his stomach, which had not eaten enough because he got up and went straight to Baoyuan Bureau, which made him feel even more hungry.
So he stood up from the chair on the side, walked forward and said with a smile: "Master Wang, I didn't expect that your Baoyuan Bureau has such a good thing. I heard that today's lunch is pork stewed with cabbage."
"I wonder...can I have a meal here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Siqi followed up coldly and said: "No!"
"Why?"
"The food cooked in the cafeteria of Baoyuan Bureau is naturally for the officials and craftsmen of Baoyuan Bureau. Where is your share? If you eat it, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"
"Then every grain of rice is paid out of the Baoyuan Bureau's accounts. What's the point of asking you to eat it?"
"When the time comes, you, old man, take this opportunity to impeach me, then I will still have something to say!"
"You, you, this!"
After Zhao Benchang heard this, he became very angry.
Then he said: "Isn't it just a meal? The worst thing I can do is not eat it...!"
"That's best!"
...
The aroma of the food soon enveloped the entire Baoyuan Bureau.
Many officials walked on the stone path to the canteen with a smile, and said with a bit of joy in their words: "I have long been fed up with the food cooked by my wife, not to mention it has no taste... I have eaten it several times.
I almost couldn’t get enough of it!”
"Yes! I'm afraid there will never be another person like us in the capital who has food and meat every day!"
Wang Siqi, Er Gouzi and Zhao Benchang also walked on this path.
Chapter completed!
