A fifth-grade general Yuan Qingze came from the Beiye Army, and a blue-robed young priest Nie Wuzhi came from Shangyang Palace.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a City Lord came.
If Bu Guxin could calm down and think about this matter carefully now, he might still be able to get some insights from it.
But at this time, Bu Guxin was already focused, and no one sent by others could stop him.
As for the two big shots who didn't come, he will send someone to invite them soon. Just look at the moonlight tonight and you will know that they will definitely be invited.
He came first, so naturally he came first.
Bu Guxin entered this martial arts gym that he would never have taken seriously half a year ago, but now he seemed to have occupied the high ground of victory.
He looked around and felt that this place was really not good enough. Even though it had been expanded, it still looked a bit crude.
Someone brought a chair over, he sat down, and then swept his hand around: "Dig three feet into the ground."
So the people from the City Lord's Mansion began to search around the martial arts hall. Even if the Beiye Army was still in the yard, they seemed unscrupulous.
According to the rules of the court, the Kitano Army has no right to interfere in local government affairs, so no matter how big the Kitano King is, as long as it is a local matter, the Kitano King will not be as big as the city lord.
"Report!"
Someone ran over, holding something in both hands: "Under the kitchen floor tiles, dig out Chao Xin Sect's deceptive books."
Not long after, someone came over again: "Sir, some more things were dug out from the ground in the backyard, and they are all related to the remnants of the Chaoxin Sect."
The news came one after another, and the smile on Bu Guxin's face became stronger and stronger.
He looked at his men: "We will go separately to invite the Priest of Tianshuiya, and...King of Beiye Tuoba Lie. It is said to be a major event involving the foundation of the country. Please make sure they are present."
The subordinates responded and quickly sent out their men.
While waiting, people kept searching out things related to Chaoxin Sect from the martial arts hall.
Most of them were preaching books used by Chaoxin Sect to develop disciples and confuse people's hearts.
In addition, seven or eight boxes were dug out from under an open space in the backyard, and they were full of weapons.
More and more evidence is piling up in the front yard. This is probably what people call a mountain of ironclad evidence.
Bu Guxin's smile grew stronger and stronger.
"Send people to sound gongs along the street and call the people here...Today, in front of the people of the whole city, we will expose the true face of the loyal minister Dayu who is the pillar of the country."
Soon a large number of people were dispatched, running around on the street while beating gongs and drums.
Although it was already dark, the sound of gongs and drums soon made people come out of their homes.
In just half an hour, there was already a sea of people outside the martial arts hall, and it was almost impossible to pass through.
People who were still watching the excitement outside the Beiye Army Camp during the day now gathered here to watch the excitement.
Bu Guxin stood up and walked slowly to a high place.
"Fellow folks."
Bu Guxin raised his hand and pressed it down, and the people's discussions gradually subsided.
"Today I want to announce something big to everyone."
Bu Guxin scanned the whole place, and the dark crowd made him feel more confident.
Witness, what could be more powerful than the testimony of the people in the city?
"Today, when I dispatched troops to hunt down the remnants of the Chao Xin Sect, I found a large amount of stolen goods hidden by the remnants of the Chao Xin Sect in this martial arts hall."
Bu Guxin said loudly: "The neighbors here also know that the Yan family's martial arts gym used to be very small, and it was impossible to hide so many things."
When he said this, he paused deliberately. This was a reaction to the fact that he had speculated on people's hearts to a certain extent.
He wanted to give the people time to think, time to think according to his guidance.
Sure enough, great wisdom began to appear in the crowd.
"A few months ago, the Yan Family Martial Arts Hall was expanded and renovated, but the princess from the Beiye Palace sent someone to do it."
"Let me just say, looking at Yan Xiniu and Lei Hongliu, they don't look like remnants of the Chaoxin Sect."
"Lei Hongliu is quite a monster...but he certainly doesn't look like a monster from the Chaoxin Sect."
"It's almost certain that some of the craftsmen who built the house were remnants of the Chao Xin Sect who sneaked in and took the opportunity to hide their stolen goods in the martial arts hall."
Bu Gu waited patiently for a while, and when he saw that the people's reaction was similar to what he expected, he felt more at ease.
"Fellow folks!"
Bu Guxin said loudly: "I have sent people to check. The owners of the martial arts hall, Yan Xiniu and Lei Hongliu, are innocent and upright. The stolen goods found in the martial arts hall are not related to the couple and their husbands. It probably has nothing to do with martial arts disciples."
In the carriage in the distance, when Tuoba Yunxi heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but it was not an obvious mockery.
I just feel that it’s really not worth laughing at.
She had thought that this well-thought-out city lord would come up with something elaborate and clever, but it turned out to be so simple and crude, without any sense of beauty.
Bu Guxin pressed his hand down again, and the people who were talking about it became quiet again.
Bu Gu thought: "This matter is of great importance. I have sent people to invite the priest of Tianshuiya and King Beiye... Don't disperse, please wait here. After a while, everyone will arrive." , I will let everyone see clearly and give everyone an explanation."
At this moment, a pleasant ringing sound came from behind the crowd, which was very unique.
Hearing the bell, the people immediately dispersed to both sides, no matter how crowded they were, they had to disperse to make way for a passage.
The red carriage came slowly, with dozens of black-robed knights in front and behind the carriage.
The bells were ringing for a while, and the people were still retreating.
After the carriage stopped, Bu Guxin came down from the height and walked quickly to the carriage to wait.
After the priest came down, Bu Guxin hurriedly leaned over slightly and said, "Master Priest."
The Master is no longer young, his hair is gray, and his walking posture is no longer straight. But in this place in Yunzhou, who can and dare to underestimate this old man?
He has been revered as Lord Secretary in Yunzhou for ten years. In the past ten years, this is what he is most satisfied with.
Because when he was in Geling, even though his status was already at the level of minister, there were always people calling his name directly in Shangyang Palace.
Especially the headmaster, no matter who he is in front of, whether he is a high-status priest or a new disciple, he doesn't care about his feelings at all and always calls him by his first name.
Logically speaking, being called by his first name by the headmaster is not something embarrassing. The embarrassing thing is... his surname is Ai and his name is Youyou.
If you were Xue Tongchui's age, or even Ning Zhu's age, you would look a little cute when called this name.
But at such an old age, he couldn't accept being yelled at.
Seeing Bu Guxin's attitude, Ai Youyou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the city lord is too polite. What's the important matter for letting me come here so late?"
Bu Guxin quickly came closer and spoke in a low voice, a bit fast.
While he was talking, another voice came from behind the crowd.
A carriage came to a stop nearby. There was no escort, only a driver.
After the carriage arrived, the driver got out, opened the door, and whispered something. The person in the carriage seemed to reply in a daze.
When the person came down, he was staggering, holding a wine jar in his arms.
People just looked at it with surprise on their faces, and they all speculated who this man dressed like a farmer was.
He was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, his trousers were still rolled up, and his bare feet were wearing a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles.
Probably because the place illuminated by torches was as bright as day, people could even see the dirt on their cloth shoes.
After getting off the car, the man couldn't stand firmly, but the wine jar in his arms was very stable, and not a drop of wine spilled out.
Priest Ai Youyou saw the man get out of the car, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself... What a shame.
Bu Guxin also laughed when he saw the man's appearance.
Although the two of them seemed to look down on the drunk farmer, they still had to greet him side by side and leaned forward at the same time: "I have seen Kitano King."
The people's eyes opened wider.
King Beiye has been in Yunzhou for more than ten years. He has not left since that time when he led his army to fight against the Loufan people. However, not many of them have seen King Beiye's true face.
Is this drunken old farmer the General Kitano who frightened foreign invaders?
Only Tuoba Yunxi, who was in the carriage in the distance, raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this scene.
"Stealing my good wine while I was away again!"
Tuoba Lie saw Ai Youyou and Bu Guxin coming side by side. He held the wine jar in his right hand and raised his left hand to rub his eyes.
"What's the good thing about so many people?"
Bu Gu thought: "For the prince, I don't know if it is a good thing or not."
Tuoba Lie pointed at Bu Guxin: "Is this a good thing for you?"
Bu Guxin: "It's a good thing for me, and it's also a good thing for the people in the world."
Tuoba Lie hummed and pointed at Ai Youyou: "Is that a good thing for you?"
Ai Youyou ignored him.
Tuoba Lie: "Well, it is a good thing for the Lord of the City, but it may not be a good thing for the Lord, so it must not be that you two want to get married."
Ai Youyou snorted, turned around and walked back.
Tuoba Lie: "Why are you angry? Could it be that I guessed wrong and you two are really going to get married?"
Bu Guxin also snorted, turned around and walked back.
Tuoba Lie: "It's hard to guess."
Then he raised the wine jar and drank a few more sips. Suddenly he seemed to wake up and looked around quickly: "There are so many people..."
Bu Guxin stopped for a moment because of these words, turned back to look at Tuoba Lie and said, "Your Majesty, it's good to have more people, because more people are witnesses."
Tuoba Lie: "It's not good to have too many people. I can't hide it anymore. Ouch, I can't hide it this time."
The priest stopped for a moment, snorted again, and then quickened his pace to enter the martial arts hall.
Of course Bu Guxin knew who Tuoba Lie was, and thought to herself, Tuoba Lie, you are pretending to be crazy and acting stupid right now, you can have fun if you want.
I want to see clearly for a while whether you are still in the mood to continue pretending to be crazy.
Tuoba Lie held up the wine jar and said loudly: "This is not stealing my sister's wine. You can't count it when you see it. I bought it..."
In the carriage in the distance, the corners of Tuoba Yunxi's mouth raised.
Tuoba Lie held the wine jar and walked to the door of the martial arts hall and looked around: "Huh? Aren't these all my soldiers and horses?"
The fifth-rank general Yuan Qingze stood solemnly and saluted: "Meet the general!"
"Meet the General!"
All the soldiers of the Kitano Army saluted uniformly.
Tuoba Lie hummed and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yuan Qingze said: "Back to the general, the general asked his subordinates to come here to maintain order."
Tuoba Lie: "Did I ask you to come?"
He thought for a while and nodded: "Then consider it because I asked you to come."
He glanced around: "Maintain order?"
Yuan Qingze: "Yes, the general's order is to maintain order."
Tuoba Lie said: "Then maintain it well. It's not okay to disrupt the order, and no one can do it."
After he finished speaking, he stood there holding the wine jar. When he saw a lot of things piled up in the yard, his eyes seemed to light up.
"Is this a house raid?"
He staggered forward and said, "I'm the best at confiscating homes, and I also like them the most."
