Chapter 443 A Delivery Arrives at the Door
Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Liu Hanxue and took a sip of wine. He then complained in a serious tone, "Brother Zhu, you are so disloyal! I just wiped out Gao Yingxiang's men for you, which is a great achievement. But I'm still just a country bumpkin with no official position!"
Zhu Youjian pursed his lips. "Is it that I don't want you to be an official? You resigned yourself, crying and begging to become a monk." Zhu Youjian understood that Wang Wenzhou did that because he had embezzled money from Wang Wenzhou, and Wang Wenzhou feared that he would be wiped out, so he resigned to show that he had no ambition.
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and concluded that Wang Wenzhou's request for an official position was definitely to start a war with the Donglin Party. Since he had already agreed, he would grant him the position.
"How is the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief?" Zhu Youjian asked.
The Right Censor-in-Chief and the Left Censor-in-Chief were the heads of the Censorate, which was similar to the Supreme Procuratorate of later times. The left side was considered more prestigious, and the Right Censor-in-Chief was essentially the deputy head of the procuratorate.
"It'll have to do. Now that I have an official position, at least I can support my family," Wang Wenzhou nodded.
Zhu Youjian shook his head with a wry smile. "Boxin, with your spending habits, even the salary of the current Grand Secretary wouldn't be enough for you."
The two were drinking when Empress Zhou arrived in a hurry.
"Younger brother greets sister-in-law!" Wang Wenzhou quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile.
Empress Zhou rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou. "Why are you here again? How annoying!"
"Your Majesty, please stop drinking and go see her. Meichu is ill." Empress Zhou turned to look at Wang Wenzhou and said coldly, "Lord Wang, His Majesty has other matters to attend to. Please leave."
"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile. "Brother Zhu, are you kidding me? Your wife is shooing me away like I'm a fly!"
"Ahem!" Zhu Youjian coughed awkwardly a few times and said, "Boxin, I have to go see Meichu, so I won't drink with you."
"Brother Zhu, sister-in-law, I'll take my leave!" Since Empress Zhou had already asked him to leave, Wang Wenzhou felt embarrassed to stay.
"Miss Liu, Boxin has had some wine. Please escort him back to his residence." Zhu Youjian wanted Liu Hanxue to stay by Wang Wenzhou's side so she could inform him. Zhu Youjian was afraid that Wang Wenzhou would make a big fuss.
"This humble woman obeys the decree!" Liu Hanxue hurriedly ran over and took Wang Wenzhou's arm.
"Goodbye, Brother Zhu! Next time, we'll drink until we drop!" Wang Wenzhou waved to Zhu Youjian.
"Alright! It's settled then!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.
Empress Zhou shook her head with a wry smile. Luckily, she had arrived early today; otherwise, the Emperor would surely have been drunk again by that scoundrel Wang Wenzhou. Empress Zhou was very puzzled. Zhu Youjian had always been gentle and refined, self-disciplined and self-controlled. Why, after meeting Wang Wenzhou, did he often act like a madman, without any restraint?
After leaving the palace, Wang Wenzhou went straight to Hanshan Supermarket. Zhu Yi, Jiang Zhenghe, and others had already prepared everything and were waiting for Wang Wenzhou's arrival.
Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Liu Hanxue, reached inside her clothes, groped her, and said with a smile, "Brothers, I have good news for you. His Majesty just appointed me as the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief."
"Congratulations, sir!" Zhu Yi and the others hurriedly offered their congratulations.
Jiang Zhenghe genuinely admired Wang Wenzhou. After just one trip to the palace, Wang Wenzhou had become the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief, a high-ranking official of the second rank with immense power. Many people would never reach such a position in their entire lives, yet Wang Wenzhou achieved it with remarkable ease.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "I just received a petition. Some officials in the court are simply outrageous. They are corrupt, accept bribes, abuse their power, and commit all sorts of evil deeds! As the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief, how can I tolerate such corrupt officials in the court?"
"Wei Yongfu, have the brothers changed their clothes?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
Wei Yongfu quickly replied, "Sir, all the brothers have changed into the uniforms of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
“Alright!” Wang Wenzhou nodded and said with a smile, “Little Jiang, from today onwards, all of Wei Yongfu’s men will be incorporated into the Northern Garrison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Little Wei, you’ll have to make do for now and be a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. When the opportunity arises, I’ll help you out.”
"Thank you, sir!" Wei Yongfu quickly expressed his gratitude.
In fact, the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief did not have the authority to mobilize the Embroidered Uniform Guard, much less appoint a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The Embroidered Uniform Guard was the emperor's personal guard, and only Zhu Youjian had this authority. Wang Wenzhou did this because he had already informed Zhu Youjian, and even if Zhu Youjian knew, he would not blame him.
Wang Wenzhou looked at Jiang Zhenghe and asked, "Jiang, have you found out who the executioner was?"
Jiang Zhenghe cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Excellency, we have found it."
“Alright!” Wang Wenzhou nodded and said, “Xiao Wei, take the brothers and let’s go kill his whole family first.”
"By the way, what was the executioner's name?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
"Ma Yun." Jiang Zhenghe felt sorry for Ma Yun. Poor guy. He killed Gao Yingxiang while on duty and was now hated by Wang Wenzhou. Wang Wenzhou was a ruthless killer. It seemed that Ma Yun's whole family was probably in grave danger.
"Let's go! Come with me to kill Ma Yun's entire family!" Wang Wenzhou said, then put his arm around Liu Hanxue and walked ahead.
Liu Hanxue was shocked. Wang Wenzhou was a madman, lawless and audacious. Not only did he dare to appoint his own Imperial Guards, but he also wanted to kill his entire family. No wonder the Emperor had secretly ordered her to come and monitor him. Liu Hanxue was conflicted. Wang Wenzhou's actions were a capital offense. Should she report this to the Emperor?
……
A large contingent of fully armed Imperial Guards surrounded Ma Yun's residence.
"Go!" Wang Wenzhou waved his hand.
Little Monster 001 quickly ran to the door, knocked, and shouted, "Open the door, there's a package!"
That day, Ma Yun was resting at home when he heard shouts outside the door. He shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself, "That spendthrift woman must have gone to Hanshan Supermarket to buy things again!"
These days, supermarkets, express delivery services, and banks in Hanshan have become an integral part of ordinary people's lives. People often stroll through the supermarkets to buy groceries. If they buy too much, they have it delivered to their homes by courier – free shipping for the seller!
"Wait a minute!" Ma Yun replied while putting on his clothes.
"Okay, hurry up!" Little Monster 001 urged.
"What's the rush!" Ma Yun opened the door.
"Bang!" The hilt of Little Monster 001 slammed into Ma Yun's face.
Ma Yun felt like he was seeing stars.
"Who goes there?" Ma Yun shouted in a panic.
"Tie him up!" Little Monster 001 ordered, and several people behind him rushed forward and tied Ma Yun up.
Wang Wenzhou put his arm around Liu Hanxue and said with a smile, "Let's go inside and work on the case."
Wang Wenzhou entered the living room, put his arm around Liu Hanxue, and sat her down on a stool. He then ordered, "Bring Ma Yun up."
"My lord! Please have mercy! What crime have I committed? Have you mistaken me for someone else?" Ma Yun was very puzzled. He was a government official, so why would the Embroidered Uniform Guard come to arrest him?
"How dare he refuse to confess!" Wang Wenzhou cursed. "Beat him! Knock out all his teeth!"
"Yes!" Little Monster 001 loved playing these fighting games the most. He took action himself, and in no time, Ma Yun was covered in blood, and all his teeth were knocked out.
