Chapter 62 The Court Officials Watching the Show: Just Pretend You Didn't See Me
"Let the blizzard rage even harder!"
"How's it going? How's my eighteen-pack abs coming along?"
Wow, eighteen-pack abs!
The old emperor's eyes widened. "Shen Zhiyi, do you believe that?!"
[This looks like a centipede! Hahahaha!]
"Oh dear, little brother, this won't do."
"Oh dear, old man, you're so old, you're definitely not as good as me."
【puff. 】
Shen Zhiyi suppressed a laugh, her stomach throbbing slightly.
[No wonder the Minister of Works had him locked up; once released, he's immediately comparing physiques—it's utterly indecent, a complete scoundrel.]
The Minister of Works felt like he was about to run out of breath.
Despite the freezing weather, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to give his grandson a good thrashing.
He looked around and noticed the steaming hot steamed buns on the stall next to him.
He reached out, ready to grab a few and throw them at his grandson.
As soon as I leaned my head over the stall, I saw a familiar face.
The Minister of Works glared angrily: "You!"
The Ministry of Works official made a "shh" gesture.
"Just pretend you didn't see me."
As he spoke, the Ministry of Works official squatted down and crawled under the table.
The Minister of Works snorted angrily, turned around, and went to the stall next to him.
She sells hairpins.
Okay, this is it. Let's stab that good-for-nothing grandson to death!
Who wants to...
"you?"
The Minister of Rites took the hairpin from the Minister of Works, squatted down and said, "You know I'm henpecked. I just came to buy some hairpins for my wife. Just pretend you didn't see me."
The Minister of Works' eyelids twitched violently.
He suddenly looked around and saw many familiar faces among the onlookers squatting down.
"It wasn't you!"
Pretend you didn't see me!!!
Minister of Works: I'm furious.
Just as the Minister of Works was about to settle accounts, he turned around and was met with a wheat-colored face.
"Hey old man, do you think my physique is the best in the world?!"
As he spoke, the Minister of Works' grandson compared the muscles on his arms, thighs, and all over his body.
The Minister of Works was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He slapped his grandson on the forehead in a huff and said loudly.
"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
The grandson, who was a little dazed from the cold, was woken up by the beating. When he saw that the person in front of him was his grandfather, he immediately started waving his arms and legs and shouting.
"Wow, the bad guy is coming!"
With that, he took off running.
Haha, this guy's a weightlifting fanatic! His whole body is covered in rock-hard muscles!
Shen Zhiyi flipped through the records of the Minister of Works' grandson's deeds in the courtyard over the years.
[Impressive! Ten years of consistent training—if male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry could learn from this, they wouldn't be unable to lift such light female celebrities.]
The old emperor couldn't understand what Shen Zhiyi was saying, but he understood a little.
Shen Zhiyi was actually praising such a morally corrupt person.
Oh no, what if I corrupt Shen Zhiyi?
He gestured to the shadows, and soon the Dragon Scale Guards arrested the Minister of Works' grandson, who was running naked.
The old emperor put his hands in his sleeves and looked at the Minister of Works, feigning ignorance as he asked, "And your grandson?"
The Minister of Works blushed crimson and struggled desperately.
"No."
【Why not? Just admit it, Minister!】
[It's just a grandson who likes to streak, what's the big deal?]
The old emperor nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right."
[Look at our old emperor, a son who enjoys bestiality, a daughter who likes to eat people, what's so special about your streaking?]
The Minister of Works looked at Shen Zhiyi with a glint of starlight in his eyes.
He seemed to have gained all his courage in that instant.
He looked at the old emperor with a determined gaze.
"Yes, Your Majesty, that is my grandson. I will keep a close watch on him when I return!"
The old emperor rolled his eyes bluntly.
depressed!
Zhang Sheren, who was taking notes on the other side, had some insights.
Even the emperor fears being outdone by others.
Most importantly, the emperor was the corrupt one.
The Minister of Works was cured by Shen Zhiyi's words.
[Oh no, I hope that bastard won't get beaten to death by his grandfather when I get back.]
Minister of Works: He will definitely beat them to death!
[Killing her is far too lenient; such a great figure deserves to be painted and immortalized, hahaha.]
The Minister of Works pinched his philtrum hard.
What a terrible idea.
He's already embarrassed enough; how can he let future generations know about it?
Hmm, what's the date today?
[On the 17th day of the month, Guiwei, the Emperor, disguised as a commoner, made a private visit. On his way through Xuanwu Street, he encountered the grandson of the Minister of Works, who was walking his bird in the snow.]
Minister of Works: Can we apply to have the title of Minister of Works removed? He still has his pride.
At this moment, the old emperor suddenly leaned closer quietly and whispered, "My dear minister, I have an imperial edict."
Minister of Works: I have a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I think Shen Zhiyi's idea is good. Let's do it this way. Bring the painting to see me next month."
The Minister of Works stiffly turned his head.
No?
This?
Your Majesty, don't you have a bit of a taste for the extreme?
The old emperor was extremely pleased to see the Minister of Works humiliated. He laughed heartily a few times, then walked over to the stall selling large steamed buns and tapped on the side of the stall.
"Come out and follow me."
The Ministry of Works official stood up awkwardly with a large steamed bun on his head; his tall stature of 1.8 meters was quite striking.
[Hey, what's that official from the Ministry of Works doing here!]
Shen Zhiyi checked the surveillance footage again.
I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.
The Minister of Rites, the Minister of War, the Left and Right Chancellors, and well, anyway, many officials from the Three Departments and Six Ministries came.
The Minister of Works suddenly felt dizzy.
Wow, everyone's got great information!
The civil and military officials hidden in various corners: They were able to witness such a magnificent scene all thanks to Shen Zhiyi.
However, the old emperor had to get down to business, so the civil and military officials who had slipped out and skipped work quickly went back to their official duties.
The old emperor led the Ministry of Works to villages near Dajing, the nearest of which was called Gunbang Village.
The name comes from the proverb "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
So the people in this village have been beaten since they were little.
The weather got cold, and the villagers all stayed indoors.
The village chief hurriedly came out to greet them. Surprisingly, the village chief was not in his seventies or eighties, but in his prime, which was quite rare.
"I didn't expect you to be an official from the Ministry of Works. Please have a seat."
"I'm so sorry, my humble abode is simple and not very spacious."
The old emperor sat on the bench nonchalantly: "I feel quite comfortable."
"By the way, village chief, are there many people in the village who raise ducks and geese?"
"Yes, sir, there are some, but certainly not as many as those raised by chickens, since chicken eggs are much tastier."
The old emperor turned to look at Liu Suozheng.
"Liu Suozheng, are chicken feathers acceptable?"
Liu Suozheng shook his head with a heavy expression: "We've tried it, and the warmth retention of chicken down is far inferior to that of duck and goose."
This village, called "Stick Village," is located next to a stream, and quite a few people raise ducks there.
【Huh? This village chief…】
Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath, and her eyes lit up!
