Chapter 1259 A Flash of Thought
Long Qi's mind changed rapidly. Han Ming and others led the navy to hide on the sea for a long time. Could it be discovered? It shouldn't be right, or is it that the person who sneaked into the laborers exposed his feet, which made Chen Zhantian suspicious.
He remained silent and heard Chen Zhantian say, "In the past two days, I have arranged for people to patrol the sea with civilian boats, and I feel something is wrong."
Damn it, it turns out to be so!
Han Ming took the ship to dock nearby, and the target was actually quite large. Chen Zhantian suddenly drifted to patrol the sea. He should have seen something unusual. Long Qi and Lin Ruzhi were in the carriage, so this matter could not be exposed.
The dignified prefect asked a servant with a low status to ride on a carriage with him and in the carriage. For people with a deep class concept like Chen Zhantian, there was a lot of problems. Therefore, Long Qi made a gesture to Lin Ruzhi.
Lin Ruzhi immediately pretended to be nervous and hurriedly got off the carriage. Almost at the same time, Long Qi hid himself on one side as he lifted the curtain, not allowing Chen Zhantian to see him.
"I wonder if the adults say that the situation is wrong?" Lin Ruyi's face looked a little ridiculous. In Shen Zhantian's opinion, these parents and officials were afraid that something big would happen under their jurisdiction would implicate their future.
"It seems that someone is staying on the sea." Chen Zhantian's eyes were sharp: "I have also inspected myself and picked up something on the sea, not in the southwest. According to my guess, maybe we built sea fortifications to attract the attention of Da Kun."
"I don't know what it is?" Lin Ruzhi asked again.
Chen Zhantian really brought the thing with him, took it out and saw Lin Ruzhi frowned: "Is this?"
It is a can made of soft metal, which is light and fluttering in your hands, and it is empty inside, but when you get close, you can still smell the food. Lin Ruyi suddenly thought of what his wife mentioned in her letter - canned food.
The shock in his eyes made Chen Zhantian completely suspicious of him, and he just said, "Our former prince consort has many ideas. Such a new thing may be his work. If it were Da Kun, this matter would be doubtful."
Long Qi never dreamed that such a can attracted Chen Zhantian's attention. This can was the military fund of the navy. It was probably someone accidentally dropped the eaten can into the water. This thing was extremely light and would not sink to the bottom of the water!
Chen Zhantian discovered by chance. Long Qi frowned very tightly. This matter must be reported to Han Ming as soon as possible!
Lin Ruzhi unexpectedly saw the new thing his wife said, and then said: "It may be that changes at sea, and things are very serious. In this way, the adults will go back to the beach first. The situation there is the most important. The subordinate arranges people to go to the southwest to investigate!"
"It is necessary to find the reinforcements of the navy as soon as possible." After Lin Ruzhi finished speaking, he hurriedly entered the government office. Chen Zhantian felt much more comfortable. He felt that this person was aware of the importance of the matter. He also turned over and prepared to leave.
Long Qi hid in the carriage, deliberately hiding the internal energy around him. He listened to the sound of horse hooves and left. After a while, Lin Ruzhi came out of it. After entering the carriage, he said, "Have you gone far?"
"Let's go." Long Qi said, "Sir, are you really a waste?"
"I found two trips to the southwest, and they all came to the door. I had to give an explanation when I turned around, but I couldn't find it anyway." Lin Ruzhi said: "It's really not good to have this Chen Zhantian so alert. What should I do now?"
"Please take care of yourself, I'm going out now." Long Qi immediately said: "Things have changed, and we have to change too."
Lin Ruzhi's heart was in his throat, only to know that things were about to turn upside down, so he nodded quickly and said yes. Long Qi was not in a hurry to get off the carriage. When the carriage drove to the inner courtyard of the Lin family, he quickly disappeared from the Lin family after he got off.
Lin Ruzhi knew why he was like this, because he was worried that Chen Zhantian would have a backup plan. Now that the matter has not been revealed, he naturally cannot let others know his inner identity.
Long Qi was actually too cautious. Chen Zhantian was an official sent from outside. He had no foundation in the local area and there were not many people available at hand. Where did he come to take care of the details for him? Otherwise, he would not have asked Lin Ruzhi for help after discovering the abnormality.
When Chen Zhantian returned to the camp, Minister Shang was excitedly holding the drawings and discussing the next fortifications with a person who looked like a foreman. When he saw Chen Zhantian coming back, he just looked up and smiled, and did not say much.
After sending the foreman away, Mr. Shang said with great satisfaction: "The helpers that the prefect Lin found later are really good, and they are all quick-witted. This time, the progress of the project has been greatly improved. You and I will not be criticized by the top of the peak."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Chen Zhantian didn't think anything was wrong at first: "There was a lot of money I gave later."
"That's right, if you want the horse to run, you have to eat good grass for the horse, right?" Shang Shilang said: "The people in the southwest ahead are also cheating and cheating. They just want to lengthen the project so that they can earn more rewards. The group of people later were different."
"They work hard. As long as the food is good and the money is enough, they never take it slowly. It seems that they are more anxious to get the project completed than we are. We really have encountered treasures." After Mr. Shang said, he found that Chen Zhantian's expression was extremely strange: "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhantian touched his ears, but he couldn't say anything wrong. Anyway, when he heard Shang's words, he always felt that he had missed something. Just now, a thought passed by his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
"It's nothing. Just as the sea fortifications go smoothly, we can return to the capital early. This golden and silver nest is not as good as our own doghouse."
Chen Zhantian's words made Mr. Shang laugh. It was almost no different from sleeping in the open air. How could it be compared with their mansion in the capital? Not to mention Chen Zhantian, he also wanted to go home.
Chen Zhantian is actually easier than Shang Shilang. The Ministry of Works is directly responsible for the progress of the project. The main thing of the Ministry of War is to organize the Southwest Navy. The reinforcements and materials of the Southeast Navy have not been delayed. Chen Zhantian feels that he has no use of his power.
Looking at the busy Shishang, he entered his camp with a deep sorrow. Yuqing was stewing medicinal food for him. When he saw him coming in, he didn't ask much, but just poured tea and brought water.
Chen Zhantian said, "Don't be busy. Eating these all day long will make me fat."
"Is it good for adults to get fat? You will be busy in the future." Yuqing said: "According to me, the matter here cannot be completed in a short period of time. Adults must protect their health and be in good condition in the future."
Chen Zhantian was very moved. After Yuqing said that, she went to serve the pot of medicinal food. After she finished it, she put it in the right temperature and brought it with the side dishes she made herself: "My Lord Shang also gives me one?"
