Chapter 79 Drinking Tea

However, there was no room for Wuzhong to continue to think too much. Things had already happened. Wuzhong had to quickly call out all the ministers from the Ministry of Works and the doctors in Beijing.

It was different from the imagination of being filled with righteous indignation and scrambling to find a way to rescue Xu Min.

Most of the ministers and ministers who came to the Ministry of Industry had their own hidden agendas. They all turned their eyes but did not speak.

"What's wrong? All of them are wilted? Our Mr. Xu has been hired away by a small supervisor from the Baoyuan Bureau. Is it possible that we just watch like this?"

Wu Zhong spoke first.

There was questioning and a bit of anger in these words.

But who among the people present was not a human spirit, so they spoke one after another and tried to show off their tricks.

"Master Shangshu... If Wang Siqi really ignores being an official in the same dynasty and attacks our officials from the Ministry of Works... then of course there are Jin Yiwei and censors who will not let him go. The Ministry of Punishments and the Ministry of War have many ways..."

"But now, they invited Mr. Xu away, what should we do? Go and fish him out again in the name of calling him back?"

"What will others think of our Ministry of Industry in the future? If word gets out..."

"You don't even have any shame!"

...

gloomy.

Moist.

fear.

This is Xu Min's most intuitive evaluation of the environment he is currently in. However, in such a room, there is a brightly placed picture in the middle that cannot tell the age and the number of owners it has passed through.

Small wooden table.

In the middle of the table, there is a blue and white teapot shining brightly.

Beside the teapot, there were two teacups scattered around.

"Sure enough, you really came to invite me to tea."

"It's just that the tea is a little hard to get on the table."

Xu Min couldn't figure it out. He was just a hindrance to the banknote bureau. Even if Wang Siqi found out, he might not even be able to find the evidence for a while.

But it was just a dumb loss, why did he get involved so quickly?

"Master Xu...how is it? Baoyuan Bureau is a poor place, not as good as the Ministry of Industry... I'm afraid the tea is a little bit not that good, please forgive me, Master Xu."

Wang Siqi's voice came slowly, and Xu Min couldn't help frowning and said: "Do you know that if one day I leave, I will definitely give you a remonstrance and ask the emperor to punish you!"

Punishment?

"Master Xu, the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes are of great importance... It belongs to the emperor, and it belongs to the national economy and people's livelihood. How dare you mess with it... Could it be that someone has given you a benefit?"

"Um?"

"The most important thing... and the main reason why I came to you is because this Ming Dynasty treasure is my responsibility, Wang Siqi. If there is any mistake, I have a hundred heads and it is not enough for the emperor."

Damn it, how did I offend you... to want you to harm me like this, even to the point of seeking my life!"

"I have a problem, that is, I can't afford to suffer a loss, especially such a big loss..."

Xu Min quickly waved his hands, shook his head and said: "There is a misunderstanding, there is a misunderstanding!"

"Come on, we'll talk about it later when Master Shangshu comes, but before that I have to humiliate Master Xu and have tea at my Baoyuan Bureau."

...

Inside the East Palace.

Zhu Gaochi listened to the report of his subordinates in stunned silence, with unconcealable disbelief in his eyes. After a long time, he said with shock: "Is the news true?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Wang Siqi did not hide much when he took Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Industry away. Many officials and people along the way could see clearly."

"This is absolutely true."

"Is he crazy?"

"In broad daylight, take away the imperial official! Who does he think he is? A royal guard?"

"How many people know about this?"

"Our news came a bit too slowly, and Wang Siqi specially sent someone to deliver the news to the Ministry of Industry. It is estimated that no one in the entire court knows about it at this time."

"That means the emperor also knows!"

When the prince supervises the country and meets a father like Zhu Di, the pressure on Zhu Gaochi can be imagined. In addition, the daily rumors about the East Palace can be said to be flying all over the sky.

Zhu Gaochi himself sometimes feels like he is walking on thin ice.

"Think of a way first, go to Baoyuan Bureau... and bring the person out!"

"I'm afraid not.."

"no?"

"Um.."

"Why?"

"Can't beat it!"

....

Outside the Baoyuan Bureau, there were countless officials, big and small, surrounding them. Among the crowd were not only officials from the court, but also countless government officials, police officers, and several guards in uniforms.

But when everyone was facing the gate of Baoyuan Bureau.

All they could do was look anxious, but no one dared to step forward!

Chen Zhi sat swaying on the gate of Baoyuan Bureau, and said to everyone in a drunken state: "You want to come in? OK... no one will stop you. The gate of Baoyuan Bureau is open to all people with lofty ideals.

Open up.”

"But the premise is that you have to let me know if you are okay."

"Master Chen... please don't embarrass us... Mr. Xu has been in for almost two hours. This news has spread throughout the capital. We really can't delay it any longer!"

"If the Emperor finds out about this... if Long Yan is furious, neither you nor I will be able to live without you!"

Everyone was very sincere.

Chen Zhi looked indifferent.

It wasn't until a carriage stopped at the outermost edge of the crowd that Zhu Gaochi controlled his fat body and walked towards Chen Zhi little by little. Things improved!

"Chen Zhi! What are you doing sitting here? Do you even want to stop me outside the Baoyuan Bureau?"

I saw Zhu Gaochi coming.

Chen Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly put on a flattering smile and said: "Your Highness, how could I not let you in... Isn't the door of Baoyuan Bureau open to you at any time, Your Highness!"

"Hmph! Where is Wang Siqi?"

"It's inside!"

"Find someone to take me in first. As for the other people at the door...you continue to stop me here, remember! No one can be let in!"

"clear!"

...

It takes less than one stick of incense.

Another carriage stopped at the entrance of Baoyuan Bureau.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had a gloomy look on his face, stepped down from the carriage, and when he saw everyone, he even scolded: "What? You are standing here one by one, what are you doing like trash!"

"Everyone, get out of my way!"

In the crowd, a road appeared again for Zhu Gaoxu to walk through.

When he walked to the door of Baoyuan Bureau, Zhu Gaoxu saw Chen Zhi, who was swaying and sitting on the threshold with his eyes slightly closed, and said, "What about you? You won't get out of the way...?"

"Wine doesn't make you drunk, you make yourself drunk! Hey...who is here! Forgive me for being rude, I drank too much and I couldn't get up for a while!"
