Chapter 1196

When night fell.

Ying Ying Zi Ye had already woken up.

He was lying on the recliner in the main hall.

And Wang Li had also returned not long ago.

"You kid, you were gone for quite a while."

"How did the matter go?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye raised his eyes slightly and swept his gaze over Wang Li.

"Your Highness, it's all done."

"This time it took a bit long, but Your Highness can't guess how many people this subordinate caught this time."

Wang Li had an expression of seeking credit.

"How many people can you catch? Isn't it just the village chief and the County Magistrate?"

This time it was Ying Ying Zi Ye's turn to be surprised; did he catch a lot of people?

"Of course more than that; if I only caught two people, this subordinate would have returned long ago."

"This time truly opened my eyes."

"It really is officials protecting officials; I didn't know until I investigated, and I was shocked when I did; this time there were over a dozen people involved."

"From the Commandery Governor down to the Pavilion Chief, all are guilty."

Wang Li was full of excitement; he truly didn't expect that such a small matter would involve so many people.

Although among these people, not everyone was related to this matter.

But they were all indirectly related.

Superiors protecting subordinates, subordinates giving gifts to superiors for protection.

Such things were common.

Therefore, Wang Li caught them all and brought them to justice.

After Ying Ying Zi Ye understood the ins and outs, he was also very surprised.

It seems that this time, killing the chicken to warn the monkey was used in the right place.

If this crooked trend is not well curbed, I don't know how chaotic it will become in the future.

"Since the relevant people have all been brought to justice, let's put this matter to an end for now."

"You go down and prepare; prepare to take the new recruits to the northern border in these few days."

"As for the north, it's time for a conclusion."

Ying Ying Zi Ye knew that the matter in the north should not be dragged on for too long.

"Your Highness, should I take the new recruits?"

"Shouldn't this subordinate stay and be with you?"

Wang Li was stunned.

His duty was to protect the Crown Prince.

But now the Crown Prince actually asked him to take troops to the northern border; what is this situation?

"Nonsense, if you don't take people, do you want this Crown Prince to take people himself?"

"No, I mean, are you going, Your Highness?"

"I don't know for now; we'll see the situation when the time comes."

For now, Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't know if he should go to the northern border together.

He could only see the situation when the time comes.

"Your Highness, this..."

Just as Wang Li wanted to say something else, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a soldier walk in hurriedly.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

"This is a letter sent back by His Majesty from Lishan Epang Palace."

"No need for formalities."

Ying Ying Zi Ye reached out and took the letter; he didn't expect Brother Zheng's letter to arrive so quickly.

Opening the letter to look.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was instantly dumbfounded.

He saw there were only a few words on it.

"Returning tomorrow, we will talk in detail then."

Just this?

This is too brief, isn't it?

Ying Ying Zi Ye was speechless.

He thought Brother Zheng's letter was so fast because he agreed to change the law.

He didn't expect there were only these few words on the letter.

This truly made him have a joy in vain.

But fortunately, Brother Zheng would be back tomorrow, so he could only talk about it tomorrow.

He also didn't expect Brother Zheng to return so quickly.

Although it wasn't very far from Lishan Epang Palace, he could return in half a day.

Then why didn't Brother Zheng return with him?

Ying Ying Zi Ye, who couldn't figure it out, didn't waste his brain thinking about this matter anymore.

Anyway, he could see Brother Zheng tomorrow.

Whatever matter there is, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

The next morning.

Great Qin Academy.

Academy of Sciences.

Mo Jiu led more than a dozen core personnel of the Academy of Sciences and had long been waiting here.

Today is a special day.

They, who had always been focused on scientific research, suddenly received news.

The Crown Prince is coming to inspect the Academy of Sciences!

This news made them excited.

You must know that the Crown Prince hadn't been here for a long time since he left last time.

Now, did he finally think of the Academy of Sciences?

How could this not make them excited?

Since this time.

They had put all their energy into the encyclopedia.

The knowledge inside made them infatuated.

During this period, they also researched quite a few small gadgets.

But----

The things they cared about most were only three.

But these three things had not flowed to the outside world.

Because there was no permission from the Crown Prince.

They hadn't spread these things out for the time being.

The Crown Prince could come, they were definitely excited.

If they hadn't made any achievements, they naturally wouldn't want the Crown Prince to inspect.

They were very satisfied with their scientific research results.

Therefore, hearing that the Crown Prince was coming to inspect, everyone was excited.
