Chapter 19 Waited for so long
Lin Qing suddenly walked to door and looked at the sky outside. He asked, “What time is it now?”
“Answering Qiansui, now it’s shenshi (3-5pm). It’s almost youshi (5-7pm).” The person who answered accidentally saw Qiansui smile after he heard this sentence. Moreover, it was the sincere kind of smile, frightening him instantly.
He quietly looked at his colleague and saw that he also had a horrified expression. He then used his eyes to ask his colleague if they should go invite a doctor. As a result, that guy did as if he hadn’t seen that gaze.
Alright, if this angered Lord Qiansui, then they could immediately enter the prison. It was better to not invite a doctor.
Lin Qing obviously didn’t care about what his subordinates thought. After he took a few steps in the hall, he said, “Prepare the bath.”
The eunuch at a side quickly come over and asked carefully, “Lord Qiansui, are we going back to the palace?”
Lin Qing looked at him strangely once and said, “Didn’t I say that today I will stay in the residence?”
Little eunuch, “…”
Then, Lord, why are you taking a bath so early? It’s not even youshi (5-7pm) and you didn’t have dinner yet, do you really want to bath and change clothes? The little eunuch’s brain became more active, but he didn’t show anything on his face. If Jiu Qiansui knew that he was thinking strangely about him, Qiansui’s residence also has a prison. He should just enter there directly and save the Prefecture of Arrest some trouble.
Lin Qing turned and walked in the direction of his courtyard. The group of subordinates followed behind him. They felt more inexplicable and were more careful and cautious than before.
What was the matter with Lord Qiansui? This unusual behavior made them very nervous. The subordinates were crying inwardly. You changed too much and too quickly, we couldn’t adapt.
In the evening, Lin Qing didn’t go to have dinner in the big courtyard, making the group of beauties who came to fight for favor be very disappointed. They could only go back to their own courtyard at loss.
At this time, at the room where Lord Qiansui stayed, Lin Qing was looking absent-minded at the court scrolls in his hand. A few eunuchs were attentively serving at a side.
Lin Qing thought that he had recovered from the state of the afternoon. No matter what Zhao Zimu’s motive was, he would be able to cope with it. Wasn’t it just sleeping together? Lord Qiansui felt that he was very calm.
His gaze fell back on the court scroll in his hand. Some people embezzled and accepted bribe when undertaking the project of repairing the dam of Wei River. They embezzled the public money, skimped on the job and stinted on materials. As a result, the project couldn’t be finished on time. The person who submitted the scroll was asking for a thorough investigation.
Mm, investigate. Must investigate thoroughly and put all these corrupt officials into the jail of the Ministry of Justice, confiscate their possessions and exterminate the entire clan.
What? They actually requested the Ministry of Revenue to use the state treasury to pay for the costs of the feast for the gifted scholar in the autumn?! What are these people doing? All their eyes see is money! Didn’t they know that the money of the state treasury couldn’t be utilized as one’s wishes?! He will surely ask to send them all to the jail of the Prefecture of Arrest! Let them dare to have the idea to touch the state treasury again!
Uh? What? Someone still dared to accuse him? Jiu Qiansui smiled eerily and remembered the name of the person who submitted this scroll. He put another account in the jail of the Prefecture of Arrest and he then discarded the scroll.
Jiu Qiansui didn’t realize that in a very short period of time, he had put everyone who had submitted a scroll and the people involved into the jails of the Ministry of Justice or the Prefecture of Arrest regardless whether the crimes committed were heavy or light. He was inexplicably more ruthless than ever.
The little eunuch who was waiting at a side suddenly felt that Lord Qiansui’s criticism was more gloomy than usual today.
Until when someone from the outside came in to report that Zhao Zimu had arrived did this state of him come to an end.
Lin Qing turned his eyes to the door. He saw a person dressed in white walking towards him in steady steps. Black hair trailed over her shoulder. The long dress swayed faintly a cloud and also like a snow lotus. She looked simple, elegant and free from vulgarity. Her bearing was out of the ordinary.
The person who didn’t have any blush on her face suddenly revealed a smile, charming people and making them lost their soul.
“You have waited for a long time.”
A clear and cold voice sounded. Lin Qing suddenly felt that he had truly waited for a lifetime for her.
