At this point, Xiao Chenglang suddenly stopped, frowned, thought about it and raised his hand

"That's all. We'll talk about it later. Go ahead."

"Yes! The old slave retired

After Chen Yong responded, he quickly stepped back and went to the Imperial Academy to deliver a message.

In the Imperial Academy, Zhongshu Sheren took the order, quickly drew up the imperial edict, and then sent it to a special eunuch to deliver the edict to Yongzhou City three hundred miles away.

The social status of all classes in the mainland is as follows:

The emperor, the rest of the royal family, the scholars, the peasants, the businessmen and the Dalits.

As a businessman, Liu Cheng has a rich family, but his social status is very low.

But Xiao Chenglang's one will, raises it directly from near last "the business" to "the scholar" this rank.

For such a lucky event, news naturally wears fast.

Only one day, the whole capital, from 70 old women to 3-year-old children, knew about it.

……

Xia Jin racked her brains to write her resignation, put on her court clothes, and went out to the palace to resign. However, she heard that everyone in the streets was talking about Liu Cheng's unusual appointment.

With doubts in her heart, she inquired about a vegetable selling woman, and her heart suddenly became heavy.

It is obvious that Xiao Chenglang intends to manufacture the three bow bed crossbow in large quantities. Since he can see the three bow bed crossbow, he will not let go of the explosives whose lethal power and range are all above the three bow bed crossbow.

Even if she had handed over the production method to Xiao Yiyuan, she would inevitably get into trouble or even danger.

So, can she succeed if she resigns recently?

Anyway, you have to try it first!

After some worry, Xia Jin made up her mind to continue to go towards the palace.

Because of Xiao Yiyuan's relationship, the guards at the gate of the palace didn't make her more difficult. After she said the purpose of this, the guards came in to inform her.

The news spread to Chen Yong's ears layer upon layer. Chen Yong quickly informed Xiao Chenglang, who had just left the early Dynasty.

"Emperor, Xia Jin asked to see you outside the palace. He said that he had a fold in his hand and had to present it to you in person. Do you want to make an exception to see her? "

After hearing the speech, Xiao Chenglang pondered a little and said:

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Chen Yong withdrew from the imperial study and passed on the order that Xia Jinru should be present in the imperial study.

About half an hour later, Xia Jin appeared outside the imperial study.

Chen Yong had been waiting outside for a long time. He called her and led her in.

This time, Xia Jin still chose to kneel down and kowtow, and Xiao Chenglang did not stop her as he did yesterday.

"I want to see the emperor."

After she kowtowed, Xiao didn't immediately ask her to get up. Instead, he stared at his thin figure with his head on the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Only when Xia Jin's knees hurt did she make a sound:

"Get up, Xia Jin. Do you have any important memorials that you have to hand over to me?"

"Thank you, Emperor."

Xia Jin kowtows again to show her gratitude, and then she stands up strongly. After rushing to the luxurious table, Xiao Chenglang bends down and bows his head and arches his hands

"The emperor is very kind to me. I'm a native of Yamano. Thanks to the emperor, I was able to become an official in the imperial court. However, when I left home, my mother spoke highly of me and hoped that I would return home as soon as possible. I know that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. I should give up my family for everyone. However, I'm not the only one who can do the duty of serving as an official in prison. So I implore the emperor to allow me to go home and serve my mother for a long time! "

Before crossing, when she left home and went to the police station to work at night, her mother had said similar words to her.

"Work hard, go home early after work, mom will make your favorite sweet and sour spareribs and braised prawns."

At that time, she didn't like her mother's wordiness and regarded her as a child. Now

Thinking of these, Xia Jin's eyes are full of tears.

She suddenly disappeared, no news, mother's health is not very good, and now I'm afraid it is worse.

She really wanted to go back immediately, but she couldn't resist the helpless reality

"Xia Jin, do you really decide to resign and return home?"

Xiao Chenglang can hear the faint cry in Xia Jin's voice, but as an emperor, he can't be moved by it.

"Yes, with the emperor's permission!"

Speaking, Xia Jin wants to kneel down again, but Xiao Chenglang waves to stop her, and orders her to look up at him.

Xiao Chenglang's voice is calm, but his sharp eyes are full of light

"Where do you live?"

"An unnamed island in the East Sea area of the Eastern Qing Dynasty."

Xia Jin had taken precautions against this problem and answered it like a stream.

With her strong psychological quality, Xiao Chenglang didn't see anything wrong with her.

"Is it?"

Shicheng is in the south, but Donghai is in the East, and the two places cannot be connected by sea.

If Xia Jin is from the stone city on the land, it is impossible for the people he sent to find out nothing after several months.

The only possibility is that Xia Jin is lying!

Lie to succeed in resigning!

Xiao Chenglang's dark eyes gradually narrowed, and there was endless danger.

"Xia Jin, I agree with you to resign from the post of prison officer. Please step down."

If he didn't want Shen Weiran's tragedy to happen again, Xia Jin, who has amazing skills and is eager to get away from the Eastern Qing Dynasty hall, will turn into a corpse in an instant.

It seems that it's time to talk to yuan'er!

"Thank you for your kindness. The grassroots will leave."

Xia Jin retreated soon after she saluted.

Seeing her figure disappear in sight, Xiao Chenglang orders Chen Yong, who is waiting on one side:

"You go to King Yi's house, and King Xuan Yi will enter the palace immediately!"

"Yes, I will go now."

Feeling the murderous spirit and displeasure of the emperor, Chen Yong didn't dare to delay, so he was ordered to retreat quickly.

……

In the palace of King Yi, the Chinese imperial doctor came from the palace and applied the last medicine for the wound on Xiao Yiyuan's back

"Lord Yi, the wound on your back has almost healed. This is the last application of ointment."

"Well."

Xiao Yiyuan's face did not change.

Over the years, he has been used to expressionless face, mood is not exposed, to face people guess mind, grasp the handle.

Hua Tai Yi was not surprised by his reaction. He left after taking the medicine.

Less than half an hour after he left, the housekeeper came in a hurry to report:

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen is here in person. Now he is in the main hall. He says that the emperor is calling you to the palace."

"Yes, I know."

Xiao Yiyuan got up and went to the main hall. His face was still calm. He didn't make any difference because the person who came was the eunuch next to the emperor, and he was called urgently.

When he walked outside the main hall, Chen Yong, who was anxiously pacing up and down the hall, saw him.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Chen Yong came forward anxiously, lowered his voice to Xiao Yiyuan's ear, and said in a low voice:

"Lord Yi, Xia went to the palace to submit her resignation. The emperor wanted to keep her, but Xia was determined and even lied that her home was on an unknown island in the East China Sea. Although the emperor will allow Xia to resign, I can feel that the emperor is very unhappy. I think it's also for this matter that he called you to the palace. "
