Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1267

Zhu Biao had said this before: if they couldn't find out who was behind it, they should throw the two guys into the imperial prison.

It seems they couldn't find the people behind them, so they had no choice but to rely on the Imperial Guards to pry them open.

Just as Wei Wu was about to ask a question, Zhu Biao's voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Under severe torture, we did get information from them, just as I expected, that it was related to the remnants of the Kong family."

"But the remnants of the Kong family must have made some arrangements. By the time the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrived, the place was deserted, and they didn't catch anyone."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Wei Wu remained silent for a moment before speaking into the walkie-talkie:

"Brother, let's leave it at that! They're just a bunch of stray dogs hiding in the shadows; they can't cause much trouble."

"If they keep hiding, they can survive, but if they continue to be oblivious to their own mortality, they will eventually be exposed."

"We can easily deal with them when the time comes; there's no need to waste time on them now."

In Wei Wu's view, the remnants of the Kong family were like grasshoppers in autumn, not only could they not do much, but they would also die sooner or later.

Since Wei Wu had said so, Zhu Biao naturally stopped dwelling on the issue and instead brought up another matter.

"Xiao Wu, I have already sent a personal letter to Qiongzhou and Yunnan, asking the local government to plan out a piece of land for you to go there."

"We can take the sea directly from Qiongzhou, and we should be almost there by now. But as for the rubber trees, you'll have to go there yourself to plant them."

"Once you've finished your work in Qiongzhou, things should be ready in Yunnan as well. Again, only you can go there."

Wei Wu had no objections, since the rubber tree seedlings were in the system's warehouse and only he could retrieve them.

Moreover, the imperial court lacks the capacity to transport rubber tree seedlings. These plants are quite delicate, and they might all die before they even arrive.

So after Zhu Biao finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately nodded and said:

"No problem, I'll make some preparations and head to Qiongzhou in the next couple of days. I'll return to the capital after all the saplings have been planted."

Subsequently, for the next two days, Wei Wu didn't go to the Academy of Sciences and stayed home with Zhu Yuxuan.

After arranging everything at home, he called Shen Lin over, and the two of them took a helicopter to Qiongzhou.

Just as Wei Wu was leaving the capital, Qian Jinguang was conducting a routine inventory check in the warehouse at the Ministry of Works.

However, just as he was concentrating on his work, he suddenly heard two people talking outside the door.

"Hey, have you heard? A few days ago, when the train officially started running, our Lord Qian got beaten up by the Duke of Zhenguo on the train."

"I've heard about it, and I've also heard that Lord Qian was slapped in front of all the civil and military officials. What a disgrace!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, a high-ranking official of the third rank actually got slapped in the face, and there were so many people watching. If it were me, I'd rather be dead!"

Although the two people were speaking softly, even whispering, the surroundings were too quiet.

Even if Qian Jingguang didn't specifically listen, the two voices would automatically enter his ears.

Qian Jingguang's face darkened when he heard people talking about what happened on the train, especially the embarrassing incident that had happened to him.

However, this was just the beginning. The voices of those two people could be heard again from outside the door.

"I heard that Lord Qian bullied the people because he was a high-ranking official. Later, His Majesty found out and ordered him to be punished with forty strokes of the cane."

"Haha, no wonder he walked like a duck when he came to work the other day, turns out his butt got bruised and battered!"

The moment the topic of Qian Jingguang's buttocks being bruised came up, the person speaking immediately burst into laughter, laughing heartily.

But at that moment, the other person suddenly hissed.
