In the room on the second floor, Xuanhe stood respectfully, with a cold face: "Sir, this Liu Yijin is so arrogant!"
Yi Shiren smiled and said: "This guy is the person your Majesty values the most at the moment. He has three jobs, and a small long-term worker can catch your Majesty's eyes not because of his arrogance."
Xuanhe said unconvinced: "I think it's just a young man who got his ambition, relying on a little favor from His Majesty, he got carried away."
Yi Shiren shook his head: "If it were anyone else, I would agree, but you don't know Liu Yijin."
Yi Shiren played with the cup in his hand: "A long-term worker can climb to this position, and can also detect Maitreya Buddhism. Do you think he is a complacent person?"
Xuanhe was a little confused: "What do you think, sir?"
"He's just showing off to others."
In the lobby on the first floor, the wolf guards searched the entire Yihong Courtyard and found nothing suspicious.
"Sir, no abnormality was found."
"We've searched inside and out, but there are no clues."
The old bustard who was standing not far away sneered and walked forward: "Your Excellency, the county guard, we have searched this place inside and outside, but no problems have been found. Shouldn't you withdraw your troops?"
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "I have just arrived in the county, so I naturally have to investigate all the places in the county. Yihongyuan is a big family in the county, so it is naturally necessary to conduct a detailed investigation."
The old madam smiled and said: "Things are not as simple as you think. This Yihong Courtyard is the property of Lord Shangshu. You searched it for no reason, but it delayed a lot of our business and had a bad impact on Lord Shangshu." .”
Liu Yijin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"I think it's better to follow the old rules."
The old madam looked at Liu Yijin and said with a smile: "When Han Feng was a master, he always talked with money."
"Oh?" Liu Yijin smiled and said, "Then how much money do you think I should use to compensate you for your losses?"
"Not much, five thousand taels."
Seeing Liu Yijin's loose tone, the old bustard couldn't help but feel happy. He was just a county guard, how could he be so great as a minister?
Besides, this is an official rule.
The old madam looked at Liu Yijin, who was in his twenties, and said with a smile: "Master Shangshu is still very nostalgic. When Master Han was in charge here, Master Shangshu paid a lot of attention to him."
The words of the old bustard are very clear. If you, Liu Yijin, want to be comfortable here, you must pay the money obediently. If you don't pay, then don't blame me for snitching in front of the Master.
Liu Yijin's eyes were cold: "Five thousand taels is not much, but I don't have that much money now. How about you take a look at this?"
Liu Yijin threw a knife directly on the table.
The face of the old bustard changed and he said with a smile: "What do you mean by this, sir? Could it be that you are trying to embarrass me?"
Liu Yijin smiled: "I don't dare to embarrass you. You are the minister's servant. If I can't agree with this, don't you have to give me little shoes to wear?"
The old madam chuckled: "My lord is a sensible person after all, and it is easier to deal with people who understand me. These five thousand taels are not much, haven't you seen that all my guests have gone away? Besides, the minister is involved in this." Woolen cloth."
"Oh?" Liu Yijin chuckled and said, "The Daqian Dynasty's law does not say that officials from the capital can participate in this kind of industry. Don't you know, Master Shangshu?"
"But I'm new here. If I don't follow the rules, I will inevitably be criticized."
The old madam burst into laughter, "My lord, you are right. Welcoming and sending you off is inevitable. Besides, as long as your lord has your intention, your lord, Shangshu, will naturally know about it."
"Besides, although Lord Shangshu doesn't like this money, Lord Shangshu's family knows it."
"It makes sense." Liu Yijin smiled: "Master Shangshu is not greedy for money directly, but accepts gifts through family members. Although the money does not go into Master Shangshu's pocket, it is exactly the same as giving it to Master Shangshu, right?"
The old madam chuckled: "Although your Excellency said it a bit more directly, that's the truth."
Liu Yijin laughed: "Old Madam, I think you are too shrewd. Don't you know my other identity?"
"What identity?"
"Head of the Wolf Guard." Liu Yijin stood up. His eyes were cold: "I now suspect that you people are making money here under the guise of Lord Shangshu, so please come with me."
Liu Yijin waved his hand, and a group of wolf guards directly detained the Madam and others.
The old bustard suddenly panicked: "Sir, to tell you the truth, the shopkeeper here is a family member of Lord Shangshu."
"Misunderstanding, oh, misunderstanding." A loud voice sounded from outside the door, and a middle-aged man walked in with a smile. He walked quickly to Liu Yijin and said with a smile: "I, Xishang, am Xikun's younger brother. Are you Master Liu?"
Liu Yijin looked at Xishang with a faint smile: "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
"Exactly, exactly, my business here is legal and there is nothing illegal at all."
Liu Yijin pointed to the old bustard beside him and said, "But this person said that you were collecting bribes on behalf of Lord Shangshu?"
Xi Shang's expression changed drastically, he turned around and slapped the old bustard on the face: "You bastard, I told you a long time ago not to use my brother's name to do anything wrong. Are you out of your mind?"
"Come here, drag me out and beat me hard!"
"Wait a minute!" Liu Yijin looked at Xi Shang with a smile: "This old madam has said a lot of things. You also know the responsibilities of our Wolf Guards. We investigate corrupt officials at the top and common people at the bottom. Therefore, I must take this person away. of."
On the second floor, Yi Shiren came out after hearing the news. He looked down with interest: "One is His Majesty's celebrity, and the other is a direct descendant of the Prime Minister. It must be interesting for these two people to collide."
Xuanhe's eyes fell coldly on Liu Yijin: "Sir, are you optimistic about Liu Yijin?"
"Of course, this is a wonderful man. If he doesn't even give face to this priest, who will he give face to?"
Xi Shang didn't expect Liu Yijin to be so unkind, and his face suddenly became unhappy: "Sir, this old madam is also mine. If she does something wrong, I will punish her. Your Majesty has everything to do, so there is no need to interfere with this. Something happened.”
"That won't work. This person told me a lot of things. Besides, some people said that Yihongyuan is also related to the recent case of missing children in the county. As you know, as a new official, I encountered such a big problem when I took office. If we don’t investigate the matter, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.”
Xi Shang wanted to say something else, but Liu Yijin waved his hand: "Take away all the people related to the old bustard!"
Seeing the wolf guards arresting people wantonly, Xishang became anxious: "Is Mr. Liu going to have trouble with my Xi family?"
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "This is a strong statement, I don't have such thoughts."
"Okay, we've talked a lot, it's time for me to leave."
Liu Yijin raised his head and looked at Yi Shiren who was walking down slowly, frowning slightly.
"I just heard Mr. Liu talk about the case of missing children. Could it be that something big happened here?"
Liu Yijin looked at Yi Shiren and said, "In the past three years, Qingfeng County has lost 106 children one after another. Do you think this is a big deal?"
Yi Shiren's eyes fell on Xishang: "But I don't think this matter will be related to Xishang."
Liu Yijin smiled: "The high priest is right. This matter itself has nothing to do with Xi Shang. I guess he will not gamble everything in the Xi family."
The madam and Mr. Turtle of Yihongyuan, the maids and the people who were in the hall were all taken away. For a while, many patrons rushed toward the door in a hurry, but they were blocked back by the Wolf Guards.
"What do you mean by this? We are here to have fun and have nothing to do with them. Why don't you let us leave?"
"That's right, isn't it illegal to go out for fun?"
Seeing the angry crowd, Liu Yijin said coldly: "You can leave if you want, just pay."
"Pay for what?"
Liu Yijin sneered: "How many of you here have said hello to your wives?"
All the men's faces suddenly turned red.
Are you kidding me? Who would tell their wives that they are sick when they come here?
Liu Yijin said with a smile: "So, if each of you pays one hundred taels, I will let you leave. If not, I will let my soldiers send you home. How about that?"
Everyone secretly scolded Liu Yijin's ancestors, but they still took out the money obediently.
"That's right. As long as you pay the money, you will still be like human beings tomorrow. If you don't pay, don't blame me for being rude. I can only make you spend one night in jail tonight and then notify your family members." Come and get someone.”
Liu Yijin watched with a smile as each person took out the money and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, please cooperate with me. Hello, everyone."
