Chapter 827: Moving Dylon
With the incense left behind by him and the speculation from last time, Fu Kun was very likely to join Emperor Xia. In principle, they were all loyal to the Emperor. If he was asked to stop Stylon, he should not refuse.
At this point.
” Master!” The Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army at the door saw that he had arrived. They straightened their backs and hurriedly cupped their fists in greeting.” Greetings, Master!”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
He entered the Ministry of Works.
Along the way, he met many familiar faces. Seeing him come over, he thought of his current identity and secretly guessed that someone was going to be unlucky again. They greeted each other and did not dare to stay any longer.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t mind. He wasn’t afraid of his shadow. As long as he didn’t go too far or do something outrageous, he would do something practical and think for the people. Even if the evidence was conclusive, he wouldn’t use a knife. If he were to be serious, there was no clean official in Great Xia. Officials had to think for themselves and their families, right? Otherwise, why would thousands of scholars study hard for ten years, and some even sell their fertile fields and ancestral homes? Wasn’t it all for glory and wealth? The premise was that they had to control the degree and not cross that red line!
An old acquaintance returned to her mother’s house and did not meet any obstruction. She stopped outside Fu Kun’s hall.
“Is Minister Fu inside?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
” Yes.” The Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army replied respectfully.” Sir has already instructed us. You can enter directly once you arrive.”
He turned around and took two steps forward to open the door.
Zhang Ronghua nodded and stepped into the hall. The door was closed from the outside.
Fu Kun brewed the tea, poured two cups, and placed one cup on the side.
His thoughts turned quickly.
Zhang Ronghua guessed that this person was waiting for him. No one who had climbed this far was a simple person. He bowed with his hands clasped in front of his chest.” Greetings, sir!”
Fu Kun smiled slightly.
He pulled out a chair and sat down.
Fu Kun pointed at the tea and introduced,”Although it’s not spiritual tea, it tastes better than spiritual tea. The top-grade laurel is dried using a secret method. Other than retaining the fragrance of laurel, there’s also a bitterness that keeps people alert. Try it and see how it tastes?”
Zhang Ronghua understood that Fu Kun was always vigilant in this way. He definitely could not repeat the matter of the Flame Thunder Bead formula. He held the teacup and pinched the lid of the tea a few times. When the tea was slightly cold, he took a sip. It was indeed as he had said. Other than the fragrance of laurel, there was also a “bitterness”. It was clearly very bitter, but it was fascinating and unforgettable.
“Good tea!” he praised as he put down the teacup.
Fu Kun smiled. Only those who knew tea could tell the quality of tea. Those who didn’t know tea would only look at the surface and think that ordinary tea leaves weren’t as good as spiritual tea. In fact, that was not the case. Some top-grade tea leaves were far superior to ordinary spiritual tea. Otherwise, with his status, he could eat spiritual tea like rice if he wanted to drink it.
“If you didn’t go with Chen Youcai and the others today, or if you took a break or took a leave of absence, they would have been the ones who were involved.”
He had placed himself in a very proper position, completely joining the Xia Emperor’s camp, not daring to have a foot in two boats.
Zhang Ronghua understood. He looked serious.” This matter is beyond the jurisdiction of Shangjing Prefecture. It involves a lot of people. It’s most appropriate for the True Dragon Palace to step in.”
“Yes.” Fu Kun nodded.
” I still have another agenda to discuss later. We need to discuss the new confidentiality regulations. We need the participation of the left and right councilors and the members of the Ministry until the end of the day. During this period, no one is allowed to leave. Lunch will be settled here. The Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army will keep an eye on the Xugong Association.”
From this, it could be inferred that Liang Qi already knew about Liang Qi. Tell Zhang Ronghua that he only had one day. Whether or not he could take down Styron would depend on his ability.
Zhang Ronghua knew that his guess was right. He said seriously,”Please rest assured, Your Excellency!” One day is enough. Wait for my good news.”
Fu Kun smiled and stood up from the chair. He opened the door and walked out. He stood in the corridor and looked at the rising sun. He asked,”All these years as an official, I only wanted to do something practical within my ability. I didn’t want to get involved, but some people just went against me and wanted to drag me down.”
“Do your best in the present. Whether it’s right or wrong will be judged by future generations,” said Zhang Ronghua.
“Go!”
“This official will take his leave!”
After he left.
The smile on Fu Kun’s face disappeared as he ordered,”Call them over!”
“Yes!” The Golden Scale Mysterious Heavenly Army accepted the order.
When they returned to the Imperial Censorate, Ding Yi and the others stood at the door. Only Yang Yi and Qian Ping were nowhere to be seen.
“Let’s talk inside,” said Zhang Ronghua.
Jin Yaoguang hurriedly went forward and opened the door. He then stepped aside and waited for the lord to enter before following.
“I have something to do later, so I’ll be going out for a while. You guys do your job well,” Zhang Ronghua instructed.
” Sir, go ahead and do your work. We’ll take care of the Fourth Division!” Han Zhenggang was the first to express his stance.
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
Han Zhenggang tactfully left. He came over every morning after court. It didn’t matter if there was something important or not, but his attitude had to be clear.
Zhang Ronghua gave a few more instructions before Jin Yaoguang and the other two left.
“Brother, did you find out where Old Lu is?” Ding Yi asked expectantly.
“No!” Zhang Ronghua shook his head.
“I’ve received news that Stylon’s trusted aide Liang Qi is in prison.”
“Did he do it?” Ding Yi frowned and asked.
He was puzzled.
“Why did you do this for no reason? Could it be that Liang Qi has evidence of his crimes?”
” This is an opportunity for us,” Zhang Ronghua said.” We just met with Minister Fu. Styron can’t leave within a day. We’ll stall him with the excuse of discussing the new ‘confidentiality’ issue!”
