Chapter 558 Zhou Xian Kicks the Door
......
"Where's Lord Zhao? Why hasn't he come yet?"
On the other side, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue's Qingli Division did not expect Zhao Zheng to take sudden action, and they hurried back to the yamen, but failed to stop Zhao Zheng at the door.
As soon as he returned to his seat, he had no choice but to clean up everything and checked it several times, just to thoroughly remove any traces that might attract Zhao Zheng's attention.
However, after they had stained their hands and cuffs with ink and had everything ready, there was still no sign of Zhao Zheng.
These people began to have doubts in their hearts again.
But no matter how uneasy they were inside, no one among them got up and went out to look outside.
Look at the scene in the main hall that they had previously avoided by taking a detour through the back door, the small door, or by climbing over the wall, pretending to be blind and deaf.
It seemed that once they left their room or their desk, the traces they had just cleaned up would immediately reappear.
Only by staying in space can they have an infinite sense of security and everything is under their control.
When he was running towards the gate of the yamen, the sight of Zhao Zheng from a distance naturally became an illusion that had never happened because they were not face to face.
"Sir, indeed not."
"Maybe someone has held Lord Zhao back, right?"
Birds of a feather flock together.
The people in charge under these Qinglisi Langzhong were naturally no different from their masters.
In response to the master's request, investigating the situation was just a matter of stepping out of the room, looking around, and then returning to the room in a cycle.
To answer Shangguan's doubts, I had to rely on my guesses while standing by the door and counting silently.
"It's possible, but I don't know which unlucky guy it is."
As the territory of the Sun and Moon Dynasty grew, more and more provincial governors were set up. As for the concept and reality of the world, from an unknown point on, a voice inexplicably emerged:
Although they are all under the dynasty and belong to the dynasty’s territory, there are differences between the territories!
The theory of three circles was born.
And as this statement spread more and more widely, it reached the ears of many people, especially in the court, where it became a tacit understanding.
A statement has thus become a conclusion.
With the Central Plains as the center and the capital Zhili as the radius, it is the core circle and the real core of the world.
Expanding outward, those provincial governments with the shadow of the Zhao Mansion everywhere, from the East and West Chagatai Khanates to the southwest, form the second circle and are the core moat.
As for the new lands occupied by the kings going west and east, there is nothing good to describe them.
A semi-civilized old wilderness that is just returning to the kingly way, a training ground for the Iron Fist of Truth of the Celestial Empire, and a vegetable garden that supplies all kinds of scarce materials to the core.
But the fundamental reason is that those people who are interested in it found that they couldn’t reach out for some reason!
Naturally, when facing someone like Zhou Xian.
Although they are both in the core and have not received much care from the Zhao family, they still have some favorable connections. They have the best of time, place and people, but they don't know how to take it. So they don't have a good face.
"It's probably Zhou Xian. He flatters the horse but ends up hitting the horse's leg. Wasn't he the one who was asking for forgiveness in front of Lord Zhao in front of the government office?"
"If Lord Zhao is so easy to talk to, would it still be his turn?"
The terrified boss didn't have as good of an attitude as his boss. He could only imagine a more unfortunate existence to make himself feel better.
"..."
However, the boss was actually feeling bad inside, because the only thing he could rely on now was the scene he had just cleaned up.
Others, such as colleagues in small groups.
He can't be counted on, and neither can anyone else.
Everyone clearly understood that Zhao Zheng might not dare to do anything directly to such a large group, but he would do something to the individuals within their group.
Having a firm grasp of the situation is considered a sign of goodwill towards them.
"drag!"
"As long as it drags on until today, the more colleagues Lord Zhao targets, the more people will be truly wary of him."
"By then, with opposition from the entire world, I don't believe that Lord Zhao will be able to hold his ground!"
He just kept calling him "Lord Zhao", and as soon as he opened his mouth, he lost his confidence.
However, the subordinates in charge could only nod and pretend to have confidence.
......
boom!
"How dare you! Who dares to be so rude!"
After a while, maybe waiting to die was not a good idea, and the spies deployed outside by various families successively reported back an important news: Zhao Zheng left the Ministry of Revenue alone and did not take anyone with him.
The doctors of the Qinglisi naturally relaxed, thinking that Zhao Zheng came today just to test the waters, or that he had suffered a setback when meeting a colleague and failed to find out anything.
They all started to pack up and prepare to go home to clean up other traces that might expose their guilt. After all, even if Zhao Zheng was not there, there were still other people in the yamen, so it was still not very convenient to act.
As a result, Zhou Du, a doctor in the Qingli Division of the Xijiang Ministry of Revenue, did not expect that at this moment when his nervous nerves had just relaxed, someone actually dared to kick the door and break into his room!
There were no reports from subordinates, no advance news, and the old minister and the vice minister were never of this type of character.
That can only be because someone in the government office is so bold as to be so bold!
If a brick fell on him in the capital, he wouldn't dare to say anything. After all, anyone who could casually throw a brick in the capital was definitely not someone he could mess with.
But in the Ministry of Revenue, apart from the old Shangshu and the Shilang, not everyone can mess with these doctors from the Qinglisi!
"Bold? Your good days are over, Zhou Du!"
"Where else do you want to go?"
The one who kicked the door open was naturally Zhou Xian. Looking at Zhou Du, who might have been a family with him five hundred years ago, there was only indifference and sneer in his eyes.
"Zhou Xian?"
"just you?"
When Zhou Du, a doctor of the Qingli Division of the Xijiang Ministry of Revenue, saw who was coming, he had been somewhat worried, but now, all his worries were gone and he felt relaxed again.
"Just me, come out for a while."
Seeing that Zhou Du was still trying to put on airs, Zhou Xian didn't want to waste any more words. He just glanced at the person in charge of Zhou Du next to him and turned to a room next door.
"Zhou Xian! You think you..."
Zhou Du didn't know what was going on, so naturally he didn't take Zhou Xian seriously. He just kept talking about birdsong and flowers.
Upon seeing this, the leader of his subordinates rushed forward to stop him.
"Your Excellency, this cannot be done. It is a different time now! I just received a message that Lord Zhao left the Ministry of Revenue and immediately went to the Ministry of Justice. It took him a while to leave!"
"Didn't you take anyone with you?"
"That's not true."
"Then what are you afraid of? That Zhao guy didn't dare to take us away. He must have known that if he touched us, it would definitely shake the foundation of the dynasty! He can only take it step by step and find some people to attack in the end! You are cursing that I will be the unlucky one!"
"I dare not, I dare not. If anyone is going to be unlucky, it must be someone like Zhou Xian. He is timid and afraid of death. He is so timid that he dares not even manage to make connections."
"Just wait and see. After a while, these people will disappear on their own."
Zhou Du's expression looked better then, and he found a merciful excuse before his death for Zhou Xian's "disrespect" just now.
"Sir, then we..."
"Let's go out and take a look. It seems that everyone has been called out. It's a good opportunity to let Zhou Xian experience what a real official is like!"
