Chapter 146 Li Degui's Thoughts
Li Degui was invited into the main hall of the Shen family surrounded by people. As soon as he entered the house, he looked around curiously.
The furnishings in the house were quite simple and plain. Although the tables, chairs and benches were neatly arranged, they all showed signs of time. There was only a straw raincoat hanging on the wall, and nothing else.
He thought to himself, "I didn't expect that Lady Fuxi's family is so simple. Such a family situation is really not commensurate with her current status.
Fortunately, the emperor has rewarded us with so much gold, which is just enough for Fuxi to renovate his house and improve his living conditions."
Just as he was thinking, Bai Jin walked in. He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Li Degui, saying, "Hello, Eunuch Li!"
Seeing this, Li Degui hurriedly returned the greeting, then glanced around cautiously. After confirming that no one else was around, he leaned closer to Bai Jin and whispered, "Master Bai, the Emperor has a secret order for you. Stand still and don't move. I'll read it to you!"
When Bai Jin heard this, his expression froze and he immediately stood straight, waiting motionlessly.
Li Degui cleared his throat and whispered, "Order Qingshan County Magistrate Bai Jin to assist Shen Li in printing more rain talismans. Instruct Bai Jin to arrange for personnel to secretly pray for rain throughout the country!"
Bai Jin nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand in a gesture of "please," and said, "Eunuch Li, please take a seat. You must have traveled all the way here. Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and skillfully poured Li Degui a cup of steaming hot tea. The fragrance of tea instantly filled the room.
Zhao Lin and others outside the door were guarding there in full readiness. Today, they suddenly saw Li Degui, the godson of Li Quan, the emperor's most capable eunuch, coming to announce the emperor's decree.
Everyone's expressions were startled at first, and then many thoughts came to their minds. They suddenly felt that the emperor was just afraid and asked them to protect Princess Fuxi well, not to monitor them as they had previously speculated.
The tall and burly Wang Meng stood there steadily like a towering hill, with his hands clasped in front of his chest. The muscles on his strong arms bulged slightly, exuding an unquestionable sense of strength.
He tilted his head slightly, looking towards the main hall of the Shen family's inner chamber, and said to Zhao Lin in a muffled voice, "Boss, maybe we're going in the wrong direction! Look, the Emperor clearly knows that County Magistrate Bai and County Lady Fuxi are friends!"
His voice echoed in the air, with a hint of simplicity and honesty, but also revealed the certainty of his new judgment on the matter.
Chen Xuan, a thin man standing next to him, usually likes to find fault and sing the opposite tune, but at this moment he rarely did not object.
He nodded gently, his narrow eyes gleaming with thought, and said, "I suddenly feel that the emperor means that we should send back information about Princess Fuxi's inventions and life details at any time.
This way, we can know her every move and ensure that she is not in danger, and we can also get a grasp of her new inventions, which may be of great benefit to the court in the future."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, as if he was further sorting out the interests and logical connections in his mind.
Zhao Lin held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and the stem swayed gently between his teeth.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of thought and solemnity in his eyes. He stared closely in the direction of the Shen family, as if he wanted to see through every brick and tile of the Shen family.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "It seems we've indeed taken the wrong path. Our previous suspicions and speculations have probably deviated from the Emperor's original intention."
He paused and continued, “When Xie Fang comes back from the county town to get the news, we will stay with the county lady in peace.
Lady Fuxi is extremely intelligent, and there are always new and interesting things around her. We must seize the opportunity.
You know, the period before the county lord's house is built is critical. We have to find a way to sneak into the Shen family.
If we can successfully enter the Shen family, not only can we closely protect the county lady, but we may also be able to gain a deeper understanding of the source of her amazing inventions and creations, so as to present more detailed information to the emperor."
After saying that, Zhao Lin turned and walked to the corner where the items were placed, and took out a stack of materials that he had carefully sorted out today.
These include the imaginative drawings drawn by Shen Li, which record the thrilling process of her hunting wild boars in the mountains.
There is also the ins and outs of her picking up an amnesiac boy, as well as the details of her deep friendship with Bai Jin and everything else.
He solemnly handed the information to Chen Xuan and said seriously, "Chen Xuan, you must immediately use a carrier pigeon to quickly send this information back to the capital and hand it over to the emperor.
We've been delayed here for quite some time. The Emperor must be very concerned about the situation here. This information may allow the Emperor to gain a more comprehensive understanding of County Master Fuxi. We must not delay even a little bit."
Chen Xuan took the information, nodded seriously, and quickly walked to the carrier pigeon that had been prepared on the side. He carefully tied the information to the pigeon's legs and then released the pigeon.
The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew towards the capital, soon disappearing from everyone's sight.
