At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 360 Why don't you grow a beard?
Cao Ji's ship arrived in Ningbo, and after docking, it began to unload.

Wynn planned to leave, but, as the boss of the West Factory, how could he let go of such a big secret by accident.

Although I'm not sure if it's true, at least I have to stay and find out the truth.

"drive!"

On the road by the shore, there was a rush of horseshoes.

The officers of the Shibo Department hurried forward to stop them: "This is a cargo transfer terminal, and riding a horse is prohibited!"

Xiao Jing got off his horse, took out his waist card and handed it over.

"It turned out to be the factory supervisor, I'm sorry!"

The policeman turned pale with fright, he didn't expect to stop a factory supervisor of the East Factory.

Xiao Jing held his arm, not letting him bow down.

"Don't be too polite, let's find someone."

"The little ones will clear the scene immediately!"

"No need!"

Xiao Jing looked at the pier where people were coming and going, and said: "Let's find it ourselves, don't startle the people."

The messenger hurriedly said: "If there is anything that needs the cooperation of the factory superintendent, please tell me as soon as possible!"

Xiao Jing nodded and called the two to accompany them, while the rest stayed outside to watch the horses.

There are ships and workers unloading and loading everywhere here. It is very lively. After searching for a long time, a familiar figure finally appeared in front of my eyes.

"Waiting..."

Xiao Jing trotted over and was about to shout, but was stopped by Wynn's eyes.

He was a little puzzled, because... the great eunuch, who was in the palm of his hand, was sitting on a dilapidated table... keeping accounts for someone?
what's the situation?
Wynn waved at him while others were not paying attention.

Xiao Jing pretended to walk over inadvertently, and then saw Wynn handing over a note.

He hurriedly grabbed it in his hand, he was very puzzled, what is it, so mysterious?

He took a few steps forward, then opened the note, glanced at it, and then greeted the two people behind him: "Let's go!"

"Huh? Then... where is Eunuch Huai?"

"Eunuch Huai has orders, don't ask, just follow me!"

After Xiao Jing left, Wynn continued to keep accounts until dark, unloaded the goods, and then followed Zhang Laoliu and others to the residence to rest.

This is Master Cao's mansion, a mansion with three entrances and three exits, the outermost entrance is reserved for boatmen and fellows.

Seeing that he was a scholar, Zhang Laoliu specially prepared a separate room for him. Although it was a little rough, it was much better than those boatmen who were crowded together.

For three consecutive days, he went out with the boatman every day, went to the pier to check the goods, and often bought some wine and meat to entertain everyone, and was very popular.

Naturally, everyone was willing to get along with this fair-skinned and cultured gentleman.

This night, Wynn bought wine and meat again, and took a few people to eat, drink and chat in his small house.

Wang Fusheng was drunk as soon as he touched it. He looked at Wynn and asked, "Sir, I have a question that I've wanted to ask for a long time... I've asked you!"

Wynn smiled lightly and said, "What's the problem?"

"you you……"

Wang Fusheng smiled silly and asked, "Why don't you grow a beard?"

Others are also very curious, I have seen a lot of scholars, this...why does he have to shave his beard every day, and he shaves cleanly.

Wynn's face was very embarrassed, so he had to say: "No beard...you look young..."

"Okay, I get it now!"

Wang Fusheng pointed at Wynn with a smirk on his face.

"It turns out that you were worried about being rejected by the girls when you went to the flower boat, hahaha..."
-
"Wynn really said that?"

Zhu Qizhen was very surprised, the blueprint of the ironclad ship was leaked?
Xiao Jing bowed his head and said: "Eunuch Huai ordered the servants to follow the line of Cao Ji to secretly investigate. The servants have already sent people out to check Cao Ji's business partners one by one. Eunuch Huai stayed at Cao's house as an accountant. , may be able to find something."

Zhu Qizhen's face was heavy. If this matter is true, then the problem is serious.

The ironclad warship is a killer weapon beyond this era, and its value is far more than 3000 million taels of silver. It is an artifact of the country and a priceless treasure!

He immediately thought of Niu Dabao's case, and he had no clue. Now that he has information from Wynn, things seem to be a little bit closer.

"Just do what Wynne said, don't startle the snake, and focus on unannounced visits. I will ask Jin Yiwei to start with other means, and both sides will check at the same time. If there is any progress in Dongchang, you must contact Yuan Bin in time."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Xiao Jing was about to retreat, but thought of one more thing, he hesitated for a while.

Zhu Qizhen looked at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Slave... I have something to ask..."

Xiao Jing's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible afterward.

"Speak!"

"emperor!"

Xiao Jing suddenly knelt down and said: "The traitor Li San, although he and Eunuch Huai have known each other for a long time, but that happened 20 years ago. When the emperor disappeared and Eunuch Huai was in a hurry, he fell for the thief. This case really has nothing to do with Eunuch Huai!"

He dared to say these words at first, and at the same time, his whole body prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen smiled.

"Xiao Jing!"

"Slave... Slave is here!"

"What is your identity now?"

Xiao Jing panicked in his heart, and said: "Your servant is, is... the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the supervisor of the East Factory... the supervisor..."

"You are already number two among the internal officials, don't you...don't want to go further?"

"Your majesty, this servant has no such intention!"

Xiao Jing didn't know why the emperor asked such a question, he just kept showing his heart.

"At the beginning, when Jin Ying left, Wynn became the number one figure among the internal officials. Now, you have a chance too."

"Slave, slave... I am grateful for the emperor's trust, but Mr. Huai is an upright person every day, and this case really has nothing to do with him. Please forgive me!"

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "If he doesn't leave, how can you go further?"

"Your majesty thinks highly of your servants, it's a blessing for your servants. Ever since your servants entered the palace, even when they were doing odd jobs in the Shangshan Supervisor, they only thought about doing things for the emperor wholeheartedly. Other things...haven't thought about it..."

"Okay, you go down!"

"emperor……"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and investigate your case, and leave other matters alone!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Xiao Jing stood up cautiously, stepped back and walked out.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help smiling, but he couldn't tell that this guy was quite conscientious.

Just now I just wanted to test it, because Xiao Jing is already the number two eunuch, and sooner or later he will gain power, so I just took this opportunity to test him.

If this person only thinks about fighting for power and position in his heart, he will definitely kick Wynn away with such a good opportunity.

However, he didn't do that.

That's fine, in the future, he can safely hand over the power of the supervisor of ceremonies to him in the future.

As for Wynn...

This is a problem left over from history, and I am helpless.

The case of 20 years ago has long been a thing of the past. If he can let it go, he will not pursue it.

However, if he has other thoughts, there is no way!
