The headquarters of East factory is located in Nanjing City, covering an area almost as large as that of Gongwei company, but the number of people in East factory is much smaller, which is larger in comparison.
The internal houses are built in a staggered manner with exquisite ornaments. The landscape of Jiangnan gardens, carved beams and painted buildings, blue tiles and Zhu eaves, combine luxury and elegance into harmony and brilliance, with a unique flavor.
Only from the style of the headquarters, we can see the difference between Dongchang and Gongwei. The general layout of Gongwei is simple and pragmatic, without too many elegant decoration and green ornaments. Dongchang is not the case. It has a great pursuit and opinion on the quality and edification of the environment.
Because the east hall was first established for the eunuch in charge of living in the palace, and had been exposed to the highest level of garden design and elegant hobbies in the palace for many years, its own values also added a lot of delicacy. In addition, they mostly deal with officials, and there is no lack of etiquette and style. Therefore, the people from the East Hall always exude a sense of luxury and elegance.
The styles are different from each other. Up to now, people in the east hall still feel that the people in the Gongwei department are fierce and rude, and there is no calm and pleasant style.
Of course, the Gongwei Division also thinks that the Dongji affair factory likes to dress more than women.
There is no solution to this contradiction because of different values.
Gongliang Junyi made great strides, but he still showed the style of upright school. The ancients said that "outstanding talents" were most appropriately reflected in him.
He came to the door of his study and knocked gently.
"My subordinate Gongliang Junyi asks for an audience."
"Please come in."
The public study of the factory is also unique and exquisite. It is unique when you watch it carefully. Gongliang Junyi pushed the door and entered. As one of the 24 supervisors of Dongji affair factory, he also came to the public study of the factory countless times. Without looking at it, he skirted around the red sandalwood inlaid boxwood carved green bamboo screen and walked into the inner hall of the huge study.
Wei Xingchao sat on an elegant seat in front of the window and poured two cups of hot tea at the table next to him. In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, there was a warm white smoke.
"Come and sit down. Warm up after a busy day and night."
"Thank you, Mr. Chang." Gong Liang Junyi has worked with Wei Xingchao for many years. He took off his fur robe and sat down next to Wei Xingchao. While tasting tea, he said with a smile, "it''s really hard for Mr. Chang to rush to the palace for discussion early in the morning, but it seems that the emperor is in a much better mood today."
Wei Xingchao was slightly surprised and asked, "there is no need for an early morning today. How do you know that I went to the palace in the morning? How do you know that the emperor is in a better mood?"
"Return to the factory, my Lord. You are wearing a splendid robe instead of plain clothes, which means you have got up to work. Your golden robe is personally given by the emperor. If you don''t want to wear it at leisure, you must be a saint in the palace." Gong Liangjun finished his tea, put down his cup and continued, "Look at you. Your hat is off, your hair is loose, and you don''t sit at the desk to make tea. It shows that you''re taking a short break from your official business. However, it''s an eventful autumn recently, and even the emperor Longyan is very angry. He has issued three edicts in a day to urge the case urgently. The Duke of the factory only hates to be separated. How can you be so casual and chic. It shows that the emperor has a lot of pleasure today. Let me know You have time to catch your breath. "
Wei Xingchao patted his palms with satisfaction, sighed in his mouth, twisted his eyebrows, wrinkled his nose and stretched out his orchid finger. Chao Gongliang Junyi nodded falsely: "Bukui is the head of the 24 supervisors of our east hall. He is as careful as dust and has solved countless cases. He is really the pillar of the country! I used to talk about Gongliang to governor Shao. Governor Shao always praised Gongliang. He said that Gongliang was to the East Hall," you have won the great fortune of our east hall and lost the sad life of our east hall ". But now governor Shao... Alas."
"I''m sorry, Mr. Chang. This case was investigated by four supervisors, and the elite did their best. We will try our best to solve the governor''s case. Mr. Chang can relax a little." Gong Liang Junyi said sternly, "I came back just to report the investigation results of this day and night to the factory..."
"Did you find any problems? Who did evil?" Wei Xingchao interrupted.
"Not yet... But governor Shao burned himself in bed. With his martial arts and vigilance, he is unlikely to be burned in his sleep. His subordinates feel..."
"So is there any evidence of ecstasy or invasion?" Wei Xingchao interrupted Gong Liang Junyi again.
"No." Gongliang Junyi bowed his head.
Shao Xingxiang''s residence was badly burned, and his body was even charred. It is speculated that it was cold weather and sleeping in layers of big quilts that could be burned into such a fast ash appearance. Even his head was burned off. Even if the body was drugged, it was difficult to detect it.
"It''s impossible to conclude the case without evidence, just by guessing. Isn''t that what you said?" Wei Xingchao joked with a soft face.
"Yes, if there is no evidence, it is all the inferences of his subordinates. According to the current evidence, governor Shao was indeed burned in his deep sleep."
"That''s the fire. No matter how unimaginable the cause of death is, the fact is the fact." Wei Xing was calm and relaxed, and filled Gongliang Junyi with tea, "I reported the investigation results of our east hall to the emperor this morning. It was an accident. I didn''t find any villains setting fire to kill the prince before his wedding and provoking the authority of the imperial court. The emperor was satisfied with the result, or he was relieved."
"Wait, Mr. Chang, although he didn''t find the clue of his murder, there are many doubtful points in the case. Is it too arbitrary to close the case like this?" Gong Liang Junyi hurried.
"Is there any doubt?"
"During the fire at night, people in the distance can feel several waves of earth shaking. Governor Shao''s main residence also found that there was an earthquake subsidence somewhere. The reason has not been found out yet..."
"The general secretary has made a report. This is an unpredictable earthquake. The ritual department in the palace inquired about the Scripture and recorded that this is the auspicious omen of" Pan Long ascends to heaven ". It shows that the life of the crown princess is very prosperous. The crown prince is about to arrive in Nanjing. It has sublimated the life of the crown prince and brought prosperity to the world!"
"Mr. Chang, this is clearly a letter from the Ministry of rites to comfort the emperor. How to do it!" Gong Liang Junyi said helplessly.
"Whether it''s a false statement or not, the emperor is happy. Aren''t you sure that the collapse here has nothing to do with governor Shao? And nothing to do with the body of Gongwei found at the scene?"
"Yes, their bodies have no trace of being injured by the collapse..."
"That means the earthquake collapse has nothing to do with governor Shao''s death, but it happened by chance and has no special connection. I have reported the case to close. Governor Shao was afraid of cold, and the stove caught fire, which caused a fire. The fire was out of control. Gong Wei was on duty that night. Royal guards and Li Tong were hospitalized to put out the fire. Trapped in it, the fire was merciless and innocent."
According to the current clues and investigation results, this is indeed the conclusion. However, Gongliang Junyi also plans to check again. He always feels that things are not so simple.
"My Lord, an ordinary royal guards has died in the Gongwei department. We are still investigating. What we have lost is the governor. How can we do so hastily?"
"Gong Wei wants to find out that it''s their family''s business. What''s the matter with us?" Wei Xing was angry when he saw Gong liangjunyi. He was not angry at all, but said deeply, "as long as you know, the most important thing for us at present is to ensure that the Prince''s wedding goes on smoothly and on schedule. Before that, we don''t need to waste any energy. Remember, in order to ensure the prince''s wedding, we can allow any sacrifice."
Gongliang Junyi was stunned. Governor Shao has worked for East Hall for many years. He has worked hard without credit. How do you know that before an unparalleled wedding, governor Shao''s death case has to stand aside. It is more like a roadblock, which must be kicked aside and hastily closed.
"We''re going to withdraw from the East Hall slowly. There''s no need to discuss it. Come on, drink tea." Wei Xingchao reached out and brushed the tea surface. He felt that the tea was warm and warm, and motioned to help himself. "Drink while it''s hot. The next thing is the main thing to come to you."
"What else is important?" Gong Liang Junyi asked lonely, feeling cold and unable to warm up after drinking warm tea.
"I have applied to the emperor to promote you as the new governor."
