Chapter 424
June eighteenth. noon.
After it had been sunny for three consecutive days before, the temperature in Fengri City has risen rapidly.
Now it's hotter indoors than outdoors, and it's very stuffy.
Shen Hao once again lamented the benefits of having a high cultivation base. Wrapping yourself with zhenqi can exercise the subtle manipulation of zhenqi, and can keep some heat outside, and then relying on cattail fan and herbal tea can barely bear it.
Maybe ask the formation masters in the arsenal if they can get a dharma plate similar to an air conditioner? This thing will definitely not worry about sales!
This is an idea to make money, Shen Hao changed his mind and wanted to have a good chat with Feilong when he was free, maybe he could make another fortune after Wuliangye.
But is Shen Hao short of money? There are too many to use, and naturally there is no shortage. As long as he holds Zhang's wine shop firmly and covers it, as Wuliangye has more and more stores, his income will increase, which will definitely far exceed the speed at which he spends money. After all, alcohol is indeed a profitable business. Especially for famous wines, the profit is hundreds of times the cost.
In fact, these thoughts are all "miscellaneous thoughts", which are used by Shen Hao to change his mind, and come to mind when he is bored while resting. If he really had to wait until he was free, at least he had to get over the current matter first.
"My lord, why don't you rest for a while?" The concierge is also considered an old man. Although he has no skills, he is honest and honest. He has never caused trouble for Shen Hao, and he has never crossed the line. Shen Hao is gradually treating him. More words. Seeing that Shen Hao hadn't slept all night, he kindly reminded him.
"If you don't sleep, it's fine for a day or two. By the way, Lao Liu, you can go to the house and take a nap for a while. You also watched all night yesterday, right?"
"I'm fine, my lord. I don't sleep much. I'll get you another pot of tea."
"Well, make it stronger."
"Good sir."
Shen Hao didn't drink strong tea before, he felt bitter and easily addicted. But in the past two days, he did feel a little distracted. It was because he was out of energy, and he needed strong tea to refresh himself.
The concierge Old Liu picked up the teapot and went out, quickly brought it back, put it down and backed out in a proper manner, keeping his head down all the time, not daring to look at Shen Hao's table.
What Lao Liu didn't dare to look at were a few copper bars, which were actually combined, but Lao Liu kept the rules very well.
Shen Hao took a sip of tea, it was very strong and bitter, but it lifted his spirits.
Regaining my thoughts and putting aside distracting thoughts, I opened the three copper strips delivered early this morning. On them were the reports on the network collection situation of the Jingxi Army, the Frontier Army, and the Imperial City Military Department. The detailed situation report will not be so fast, at least it will not be seen in these two days, because the follow-up will continue to follow up on new situations.
In fact, many problems can be seen from the time of these three copper strip reports, all of them are at least two hours later than Shen Hao expected. This shows that the three network collection sites are not going well, and there are accidents that delay the progress.
The occurrence of accidents is what Shen Hao does not want to see but cannot be avoided. Do you want to clean up others and not let others resist? This is a game, and it is actually the main strategy of Shen Hao, Wang Jian and the "Four Departments" to see the tricks, but they did not expect that even if it was a sudden attack and the possibility of minimizing conflicts, the reaction of the other party would still be so great.
In the face of Xuanqingwei's commanding envoy's order and the authorization of the right servant of the Ministry of War, he dared to directly contradict and refuse to implement it, and even beat Xuanqingwei who suspected that he was going to perform the mission as "random" and "fake identity". What's more, it directly depends on the number of people.
The reactions from all over the world were fierce, but there was one thing that made Shen Hao feel a little relieved. That is, whether it is the Ministry of War, the Frontier Army or the Jingxi Army, their highest command did not move in the face of Xuanqingwei's raid in the early hours of this morning.
Minister Yang Yansi of the Ministry of War and Zuo Shilang Xu Hong were recruited into the palace gate by the emperor's messenger in the early hours of the morning. Today, before dawn, they went to the suburban hunting ground with almost all the officials from the third rank and above in the imperial city. Hunting, it will take a day and a half, and I won't be back until the evening of June 19th.
And the one staying in the Ministry of War is Wen Mingju, the right servant. This is the emperor's personal guard, and he has always been trusted by the emperor. He is usually regarded as the third in command in the Ministry of War, but most of the time he is honest and does not move or speak, and his sense of presence is extremely low. . But this time he is the most important pawn in the Ministry of War.
The secret order issued by the emperor, the written inscription and the command envoy of Xuan Qingwei jointly issued the authorization document, which is also the basis for Shen Hao to go to other people's camps to "invite people" in a big way.
But now it seems that although the Ministry of War has high prestige in the military forces in various places, it may not all be passed on to Wen Mingju.
Both the Jingxi army and the frontier army resisted Xiecha's orders by saying "the right servant is a fart", and even directly called it "random".
But it is only the target person who is talking about whether or not to be chaotic. For example, the general named Zhou Qing from Tanshi directly wanted to take down Chen Tianwen who went to "invite him". In the end, if Shen Hao hadn't hidden his hand, The Golden Sword cultivators who came for reinforcements asked a few people to be stuffed into various people just in case, and they were slapped in the face.
The target people rebounded, but the top officials in various places were transferred away, and the rest remained silent.
The Governor's Mansion of the Jingxi Army has remained silent until now, as if it hadn't received any news. It's the same with the frontier army, all the noise is below, and it's quiet above, not to mention Zuo Yuliang, the military chief in the south, even the chief officer of the Tanshi garrison is silent.
It seems that these people are waiting to see what happens? Or do you have other plans?
The Jingxi Army has a total of nine people on the list, the Frontier Army has a total of 20 people, and the Ministry of War has eight people. Up to now, all the people on the list have been captured, and now they are being interrogated in various places.
Why not bring it back for trial?
This is Shen Hao's consideration. After arresting the person, he will be interrogated on the spot. This will not directly intensify the conflict with the army and buy more time. In addition, the first batch of arrested people is not counted as the upline in the case, and their importance is not that great, so there is no need to detain them in different places. Everything has to be touched up again.
"However, the army is an army, and there are really many hard bones."
This is the reason why Shen Hao's brain hurts.
A total of thirty-seven people were arrested, ten of them were hard-headed, and Xuan Qingwei's methods have been carried to death until now, and they have not been recruited, which almost made the killers who were in charge of torture red-eyed.
Xuan Qingwei's methods are not something ordinary people can bear, Shen Hao has seen this a lot, and his bones are so hard that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
What Shen Hao is thinking now is that if he can't break through these hard bones in a short time, then he might have to think about ways to not advance in the next mission?
