Chapter 360 Why don’t you grow a beard?

Cao Ji's ship arrived in Ningbo and began to unload the goods after docking.

Huaien originally planned to leave, but after accidentally finding out such a big secret, how could he easily let it go as the boss of the West Factory?

Although I am not sure if it is true, at least I have to stay and find out the truth.

"drive!"

On the road on the shore, there was a burst of rapid horse hooves.

The police from the Maritime Bureau hurried forward to stop him: "This is a cargo transit terminal, and horse riding is prohibited!"

Xiao Jing turned over and dismounted, took out his waist sign and handed it over.

"It turns out that he is the factory governor, he is disrespectful!"

The policeman was so scared that his face turned pale. Unexpectedly, he actually stopped the factory supervisor of the East Factory.

Xiao Jing held his arm and refused to let him bow down.

"No need to be polite, let's find someone."

"The little one clears the market right away!"

"No need!"

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

The policeman hurriedly said, "If you have any minor cooperation, please give me instructions as soon as possible!"

Xiao Jing nodded and asked the two to accompany him, while the rest stayed outside on the field to watch the horses.

There were ships and workers unloading and loading everywhere here, which was very lively. After searching for a long time, finally, a familiar figure appeared in front of you.

"Wear..."

Xiao Jing ran over and was about to shout, but was stopped by Huai'en with a look.

He was a little puzzled because... the eunuch in charge of the seal was sitting on a torn table... to keep accounts for people?

What's going on?

Huai'en waved his hand at him while others were not paying attention.

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

He hurriedly grabbed it in his hand, feeling very puzzled. What was it so mysterious?

He walked forward a few steps, then opened the note, took a look, and greeted the two people behind him: "Go!"

"Ah? Then... what about me?"

"Eunuch Huai has given instructions, don't ask, come with me!"

After Xiao Jing left, Huaien continued to stay and keep the books until dark, unloading the goods, and then followed Zhang Laoliu and others to the residence to rest.

This is Mr. Cao's mansion, a mansion that can be used for three or three. The outside is specially reserved for boatmen and servants.

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

For three consecutive days, he followed the boatman out every day, went to the dock to count the goods, and often bought some wine and meat after paying the wages to entertain everyone, which was very popular.

Naturally, everyone was willing to get along with this gentleman with a clean and educated face.

That night, Huaien bought wine and meat and pulled a few people to eat, drink and chat in his small house.

Wang Fusheng got drunk as soon as he got touched. He looked at Huai'en and asked, "Sir, I have a question. I have wanted to ask you a long time ago!"

Huai'en smiled faintly and said, "What's the problem?"

"You, you..."

Wang Fusheng smiled foolishly and asked, "Why don't you have a beard?"

Others are also very curious. Many scholars have seen this person... why does he have to cut his beard every day and shaved it cleanly.

Huai'en's face was very embarrassed, so he had to say, "Don't have a beard... she looks young..."

"Oh, I get it!"

Wang Fusheng pointed at Huai'en with a smirk.

"So you are worried that you will be disliked by the girls when you go shopping in the flower boat, hahaha..."

——

"Waien really said that?"

Zhu Qizhen was surprised. Did the drawings of the ironclad ship leak?

Xiao Jing bowed and said, "Eunuch Huai ordered me to follow the line of Cao Ji to investigate secretly. I have sent people out and are checking Cao Ji's business partners one by one. Eunuch Huai stayed in the Cao family as the accountant, and maybe something could be discovered."

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

The ironclad ship is a great killer weapon that surpasses this era. Its value is far more than 30 million taels of silver. It is a magical weapon that is priceless!

He immediately thought of Niu Dabao's case and was just confused. Now that he had Huai'en's information, things seemed to be a little surprised.

"Just as Huai'en said, don't alert the snake, focus on secret investigations. I will ask the Jinyiwei to start from other channels and verify at the same time. If there is any progress on the Dongchang side, you should contact Yuan Bin in time."

"I obey the order!"

Xiao Jing was about to retreat, but hesitated for a moment.

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

"I... I have something to ask for..."

Xiao Jing's voice was very small, and it was almost inaudible afterwards.

"Tell me!"

"emperor!"

Xiao Jing suddenly knelt down and said, "That rebel Li San, although he had known Eunuch Huai for a long time, it was all twenty years ago. When the emperor disappeared, Eunuch Huai was in a hurry and fell into the thief's plot. This case really has nothing to do with Eunuch Huai!"

He suddenly said this with the courage to say it, and at the same time, his whole body crawled on the ground, not daring to look up.

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen laughed.

"Xiao Jing!"

"Slave... I'm here!"

"What is your identity now?"

Xiao Jing was panicked and said, "I am, yes... the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and the East Factory Supervisor... the supervisor..."

"You are already the second-ranked official. Don't you... want to go further?"

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of this!"

Xiao Jing didn't know why the emperor asked this, but just kept expressing his feelings.

"At the beginning, when Kim Young left, Wyen became the number one figure among the inner officials. Now, you have a chance."

"I, I... I am grateful to the emperor for his trust, but I am fair and upright in life. This case really has nothing to do with him. Please be kind to the emperor!"

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

"The emperor respects me and is a blessing for me. Since I entered the palace, even when I was doing odd jobs in Shangshenjian, I only thought about doing things for the emperor with all my heart... I never thought about it..."

"Okay, you go down!"

"emperor……"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and investigate your case, don't worry about other matters!"

"I obey the order!"

Xiao Jing stood up carefully and walked out.

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

I just wanted to test it out because Xiao Jing was already the second-ranked eunuch, and sooner or later he would have to take the opportunity to test him.

If this person only wanted to fight for power and throne, such a good opportunity at the moment would definitely lead to the insult and kick Huai'en away completely.

But he didn't do that.

That's good, in the future, you can safely hand over the power of the Silijian to him in the future.

As for Wynn…

This is a historical issue, and I am helpless.

The case twenty years ago has long been gone, and if he could let it go, he would definitely not pursue it.

But if he had other thoughts, there was nothing he could do!
