"Then what's your opinion on this matter?" The emperor was very satisfied, and continued to ask with a big smile.
Obviously, the emperor intended to reward the two men vigorously, but at the same time, he wanted to let the officials present know how outstanding their achievements were.
Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo were already prepared after hearing this.Someone will definitely come out and sing against the emperor, and then they may be besieged by these ministers, at least some rebuttal voices will speak out against this matter.
After the emperor's words came out, the officials began to discuss.After some discussion, someone really stood up.
The person who stood up was none other than Zhu Yuanlong who met Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo earlier.
They also guessed this point, after all, Zhu Yuanlong was the one who had the most conflicts with them among the hundred officials.
"My Majesty, the outbreak of the plague in Huai'an Mansion was caused by a group of rebels in Guanshan Restaurant. Fortunately, the court has capable ministers like Lord Song and Lord Bai, so they were able to turn the tide and prevent their tricks from succeeding. I think that the court The two lords should be rewarded vigorously, as a model for all officials, and encourage all officials to follow suit and make greater contributions to the common people of the world."
From the first sentence, the more they listened, the more surprised they became, and the more they listened, the more terrifying they became.
These words were completely beyond the expectation of the two of them. How could they have imagined that Zhu Yuanlong would actually say good things about the two of them in front of the emperor.
Both Bai Zhuo and Song Wuya were dumbfounded, they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Zhu Yuanlong gourd.
"The minister waits for a second opinion."
After Zhu Yuanlong said these words, other officials echoed.Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, who were already prepared to accept the storm, were immediately stunned.
The emperor was naturally very happy when he heard this: "It seems that the love ministers are the same as I thought. The two love ministers have indeed made great contributions to the court, and they have also done good things for the people. This time the plague almost spread to the capital. Only when the two lovers tried their best to prevent it, the lovers and I were able to safely attend the early court on the court. The two lovers were promoted to third-rank officials, and their salaries were increased for three years, and they were rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. "
Without any objection, the emperor commended the two.
Of course, this award is not particularly important, but at least the two have been promoted, and they have not encountered any difficulties.
After the morning court, when they returned to their residence, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Wen'er, come and analyze it for us. People like Zhu Yuanlong didn't find fault with us, and they even praised us vigorously. First, I was flattered at the gate of the palace like a weasel giving a chicken New Year's greeting. In the morning, he didn't say a bad word, and he took the lead in praising the achievements of the two of us in front of the emperor. What kind of medicine do you think he sells in this gourd?" Song Wuya asked Situ Wen in surprise.
He said that he really couldn't understand this point, whether it was because of personal enmity or the grievances of Guanshan Restaurant, even if Zhu Yuanlong would not tell the emperor what they were wrong at this juncture, he should not praise them.
"Yes!" Bai Zhuo was also very puzzled: "I always feel that there must be something wrong here, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhu Yuanlong to say such a thing."
The storm that they were worried about did not come, but it made the two of them feel that someone gave them a sap from behind, making them a little confused about the situation.
After listening to the two people's narration of the events before and after the morning court, Situ Wen pondered for a while and said, "Could this be a signal from the Guanshan Restaurant? This Zhu Yuanlong is from the Guanshan Restaurant. There is no need to doubt. Now that all the sites of Guanshan Restaurant have been wiped out, these people hiding behind them naturally dare not make troubles with great fanfare. Although Guanshan Restaurant may not be seriously damaged, it will definitely choose to hide its power and bide its time. Zhu Yuanlong today This move may be simply showing weakness to you, so that you will not continue to target them, so that they have a relaxing time to readjust."

Chapter 995 Can't figure it out
"Wen'er, do you think so?" Song Wuya frowned after hearing this: "But I don't think things are that simple. After all, for them, Guanshan Restaurant is just a way for them to make money, and they may not It was a big blow because of this.”
"Maybe it's because you disrupted their original layout, so they want to divert your attention so that they can rearrange it." Situ Wen added after hearing Song Wuya's words.
Situ Wen's words made Song Wuya think again.
It is really doubtful that Zhu Yuanlong showed his kindness to them all of a sudden.There must be some reason for this, and it is definitely not because he wants to correct his evil ways.
After thinking about it, it was impossible for Song Wuya to think that Guanshan Restaurant would give up like this.However, what Situ Wen said made a lot of sense.
"Then let's put it this way." Bai Zhuo also agreed with this point of view after hearing this: "Guanshan Restaurant wants to use our hands to deal with Wuliangjiao again! It seems that this time we only wiped out their superficial power , but for them, that is not a small blow!"
"I think it should be like this." Situ Wen nodded.
Now Bai Zhuoke is happy: "Brother Wuya, it seems that the months of tossing and tossing are not in vain. But right now, we may not be able to continue to investigate this Guanshan Restaurant? We have to give them a period of relaxation , otherwise the Wuliangjiao would be the only family."
"That's right, although this is the time to pursue the victory, the Guanshan Restaurant was also directly cut off. We couldn't get more useful information after we wiped out the Guanshan Restaurant before. If we continue to investigate, there must be a lot more time." Song Wuya agreed with Bai Zhuo's words.
This is also the most troublesome thing they have encountered. Whether it is Wuliangjiao or Guanshan Restaurant, when the key point is always traced, the clues are suddenly interrupted, making it impossible for them to continue.
"Right now, this matter is not over yet!" Song Wuya took a deep breath and said, "Zhu Yuanlong's performance today may be just a signal. As Wen'er said, I'm afraid Guanshan Restaurant will find a way to give us Provide clues to Wuliangjiao, let us turn our attention directly to Wuliangjiao."
"Isn't that just right? It saves us the trouble of finding it ourselves."
Regarding this point, Bai Zhuo didn't care at all, after all, this was exactly what they needed.
"Anyway, what we were worried about before didn't happen. In this capital, we probably won't have any chance of catching clues about Guanshan Restaurant and Wuliangjiao. If Zhu Yuanlong and the others can really provide us with clues If so, it would indeed save us a lot of things.”
Song Wuya summed up the current situation, they can only wait for this signal.
The development of the matter was surprisingly unexpected, and Zhu Yuanlong's actions were also puzzling.Although nothing dangerous has happened yet, it is still doubtful.
The time in the capital was definitely a torment for Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.Although they are imperial envoys of the imperial court, after the errands are handed over, they are empty posts.The two of them who had nothing to do in the capital really had nothing else to do besides reading.
Also staying in the capital, Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were much more relaxed than the two of them.At least the two of them girls can go out for a walk, every day is also full of fun.
"Snapped!"
Bai Zhuo slammed the book on the table heavily, and he stood up suddenly with an angry face.
"Brother Wuya! It's been five days! Every day is just an early court, and there is nothing else to do. It's fine if there is nothing to do, and you have to listen to these ministers talking nonsense all day long. You say they What are they talking about? They are all trivial things. Even the Holy Majesty, it seems that this group of people has completely forgotten us, forgetting that there are two imperial envoys above this morning!"
In the past few days, apart from going to bed every day, there is nothing else to do, which has already made Bai Zhuo very anxious.
Staying in the room all day reading, I have already read several volumes of the book in my hand, now Bai Zhuo is not in the mood at all.
It's no wonder that he was suffocating anger in his stomach, and so was Song Wuya.
But compared with Bai Zhuo's emotions, he seemed much calmer.
"Hehe!" Song Wuya laughed, and put down the book in his hand: "What two imperial envoys, we are just two idlers now. It's hard for us to guess what the Holy One is thinking. But I actually think that the reason why the Holy Majesty has kept us in the capital for the past few days is that he is worried that Zhu Yuanlong and the others will stab us in the back after we leave."
"Brother Wuya! What you said is absolutely right, we are just two idlers!" Bai Zhuo couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and shouted extremely aggrieved: "But you can't leave us here? But a man who does great things!"
"Okay, Brother Bai." Seeing that Bai Zhuo's anger was growing, Song Wuya hurriedly comforted him: "You don't need to be so angry, we can stay in Huai'an Mansion for three months, this is in The capital city has only stayed for five days. It's still early, so be patient."
"No, I can't wait any longer. Brother Wu Ya, I'm going to find the Holy Majesty." Bai Zhuo had already had such an idea in his heart. Waiting for you waited a few days without any movement, so he complained.
Seeing that Bai Zhuo was really about to walk out the door, Song Wuya hurriedly stood up and stopped him.
"Brother Bai, I said before that your temper is getting more and more stable, why are you becoming irritable again?"
"Brother Wuya, how can I not be impatient? This Wuliangjiao has been silent for a while. Now that the Guanshan Restaurant has been closed, it is the time for Wuliangjiao to make its debut. We must seize this opportunity!" Bai Zhuo It was because they were worried that if they missed this period of time, they would no longer be able to find clues about Wuliangjiao.
This also made Song Wuya frowned, Bai Zhuo's analysis was correct, this was indeed a good time for them.
When the two were distressed by this matter, Situ Wen and Xiaohuan came back.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the conversation between Situ Wen and Xiaohuan gradually approached.
"Squeak!" The door was pushed open, and Situ Wen entered first: "Wu Ya, what are you and Bai Zhuo arguing about? I heard Bai Zhuo's voice in the yard just now."
"It's nothing, Brother Bai is going to make a noise to see His Majesty, didn't I stop him from letting him go?" Song Wuya explained with a wry smile.
