Chapter 46: Semu Officials

"Do you think we really have a big ball under our feet?" In the lively restaurant, a fat guest wearing zither clothes but with luxurious decorations asked his companions around him. Just look at his clothes, he knew that he must be a rich businessman.

"Impossible. I have traveled all over the years and have traveled almost all over the Ming Dynasty. Except for the mountains and rivers, the earth is extremely flat. How could it be a ball?" An old man with gray hair immediately retorted. He was also a famous businessman in the capital, but his skin was dark and his face was full of wrinkles. He was obviously a person who had been walking outside all year round.

"It may not be really impossible. Huntian said that it has existed since ancient times, and even in the Han Dynasty, it once had the upper hand. Since the ancients said so, I believe it must be a reason!" At this time, a tall and thin man next to him shook his fan and said, "Looking at his clothes, he was holding a folding fan, but he was holding a folding fan. You know, the first month has just passed, and the weather is still quite cold, and it is really inappropriate for him, a businessman, to hold a folding fan.

"What the ancients said may not be true, and the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision is a descendant of Yuan Tiangang. He is incompetent in astronomy and geography. His words must be more credible than the grandson of the Korean Gong." At this time, someone spoke again.

"The Korean Duke has long disregarded his grandson. It is said that it was during the birthday party before the New Year. The Korean Duke drove the Li Jie and his son out of the mansion in front of many guests, completely severing the relationship..."

Before he could finish this, he was interrupted by a benevolent person next to him and said, "I know best about this. I have a relative who works in the Korean mansion. He was there that birthday party. You don't know. Lee Ji is actually very capable. He also gave him a glass mirror when he celebrated his birthday. He is known as the best mirror in the world. At first, the Korean man was very happy, but unfortunately later..."

This funeralist obviously knew some inside story. When the people around him heard this, they all listened intently, and even the guests from the next table came over, which made the funeralist who spoke more proud and more excited.

When the beneficiary talked about what happened on the birthday party, the people around him were also amazed. Although some rumors had been heard before, they were not as detailed as the beneficiary said. In particular, Li Jie first got Li Shanchang's favor with the glass mirror, but in the blink of an eye he angered Li Shanchang. This bizarre twist was simply irresistible.

"Li Jie understands glass mirrors and what about Huntian sayings? Maybe he is really a strange person?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed at this time.

"Strange man? There are not so many strange man in this world. He is just a sensational person. If he is a strange man, will I still be a god?" An instant objection to Li Jie.

"This is not necessarily the case. Have you heard of it? Recently, someone has witnessed a god coming to the world with his own eyes?" Someone suddenly said again with a mysterious look on his face.

"I heard of it, but what I heard of is not a god, but a monster, who is just outside the city!" Someone immediately responded, and looked horrified when he spoke.

When they heard that there were gods and monsters, they immediately aroused the interest of others. Many people immediately asked the two of them about gods and monsters, which made them shocked and immediately began to talk about the rumors they had heard.

However, at this moment, a man rushed in from outside shouted: "It's been a ban, the court has been a ban. Three days later, Li Jie will prove that the earth is a ball in the square in front of the imperial city!"

"What?"

"Really or not?"

...

The guests were also in a noisy situation. The gods and monsters that were still discussing just now were thrown aside by them. Some people looked suspicious, not because they did not believe in the court, but because there were too many rumors about Li Jie and Yuan Jianzheng’s bets recently.

"The list is posted in front of Yingtian Prefecture. If you don't believe me, go and see!" When the visitor saw someone who didn't believe me, he immediately pointed at the outsider. It was not far from Yingtian Prefecture, and it was about two streets before he arrived. He had just returned from there.

"Let's go and have a look!" The perverted person immediately stood up. Everyone had a herd mentality. When they saw that someone took the lead, everyone else stood up. Then a group of people all went to Yingtian Prefecture.

At the same time, Li Jie, who was busy in the Military Weapon Bureau, suddenly received a report saying that two officials came to visit him, which made him stunned. Although he had entered the officialdom, he had never walked around other yamen except the Military Weapon Bureau, let alone know any officials?

With curiosity in his heart, Li Jie stepped outside the military weapon bureau, but when he saw two officials standing outside the door, what Li Jie didn't expect was that one of the officials was a person with a high nose and deep eyes and blue eyes.

It is very rare for Seminister to be an official. When the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, Seminister was their biggest accomplice. Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongols, he was also very disgusted with Seminister. Almost all of the Seminister officials were abandoned by him. Some of the people who were extremely resentful were even sentenced to death. For example, in the Pu family in Guangzhou, men were slaves and women were prostitutes. So now, Li Jie was also very surprised when he suddenly saw a Seminister official.

"I don't know what you call me, what's the matter with me?" Li Jie walked up to salute the two of them. The two officials were not old, especially the Han man next to him, who looked at at most twenty or thirty years old, and looked smart and capable.

"In the Imperial Heaven Supervision Deputy Mahama, this is my friend Guo Zhenglin, who serves as the Weishi Lingtai Lang in the Imperial Heaven Supervision!" The Semi-man introduced that the Imperial Heaven Supervision had a supervisor and a deputy in the Imperial Heaven Supervision, but this was the first time Li Jie knew that the deputy was actually the Semi-man. Given Zhu Yuanzhang's disgust towards the Semi-man, this Mahama should have outstanding features as the deputy in charge.

"Are you sent by Yuan Jianzheng?" Li Jie asked again in surprise. He had said in front of Yuan Jianzheng that he would welcome him to supervise, but the other party had never come. Now it was about to come to the day of the agreement, but two officials from the Imperial Heaven Supervision came. This was a bit strange. If Yuan Jianzheng was worried, why didn't he come by himself?

"Li Sijian should not misunderstand it. We were not sent by Yuan Jianzheng, but came to you privately for negotiation!" Mahama hurriedly explained that the Han people he said had no accent. If he closed his eyes, he would not be able to hear that he was a semen person.

"Is there anything to discuss with me in private?" Li Jie looked at the two of them again in surprise when he heard this. Seeing the other party's sincere expression, it should not be like lying, so Li Jie thought for a moment and said, "Please sit down and chat!"
