It gets dark very early in winter.
When the master and servant returned to Youningyuan of Zongzheng Temple, the sky was already dark.
After hastily using some food.
Xu Yi sent Zhao Shou back to rest.
And he lit the oil lamp alone and walked into the study.
Pick up an ink stick and slowly grind out the ink.
Then he sat down on the Taishi chair in the study room and spread out a piece of white rice paper.
Close your eyes slightly and think deeply.
Today's group, of course, did not see with their own eyes the current situation of the people outside the city.
But the amount of information harvested today still far exceeds the information recorded in those files.
Although he has a photographic memory, Xu Yi still likes to write out all the clues by hand and compare them one by one.
Maybe the two give people completely different feelings.
After a while.
Xu Yi picked up a langhao pen and dipped it in some ink. He was about to put a pen on the rice paper to sort out the clues.
Suddenly there was a slight knock on the door of the study.
The knock on the door was full of a special melody that no outsider could recognize.
Xu Yi put down the langhao pen, stood up, walked to the door, and gently opened the study door.
as expected.
The person outside the door is clearly the leader Wen Xin.
"Little Master, the situation of the Wang family and the Zhou family has been fully investigated."
Leader Wenxin took out a thick stack of rice paper from his arms and reported in a low voice.
"okay, I get it."
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took the rice paper.
Deep in my heart, I once again refreshed my understanding of the Qingxin Organization.
It has only been so long before I can produce such a thick stack of information.
It is truly an amazing organization.
"My subordinates resign."
Seeing Xu Yi nod, Leader Wenxin quickly disappeared into the night.
Tonight, he did not only have the task of delivering things.
Xu Yi took a deep look at the direction where Leader Wenxin disappeared, and then returned to the study with a normal expression.
It seemed as if everything in Chang'an City was calm tonight.
In the study room.
Under the light of the oil lamp, Xu Yi slowly flipped through the thick stack of paper filled with handwriting.
What Lu Jindong said today in the Wang Family Courtyard was not false.
The Wang family was really a wealthy family more than a hundred years ago.
At that time, the head of the Wang family was the late emperor's trusted minister.
He was deeply respected by the then young Emperor Tianshun.
During the early and middle periods of Emperor Tianshun, the head of the Wang family served as the chief pavilion elder for twenty years.
This is what the world often calls the position of first assistant.
In the beginning, the monarch and his ministers got along well with each other and trusted each other.
Unfortunately, Emperor Tianshun was seriously injured during a personal expedition.
After the imperial doctor's full treatment, his life was saved, but his body also collapsed.
From then on, Emperor Tianshun became obsessed with the art of Fangwai, that is, alchemy.
The monarch and his minister, who were both teachers and friends, also had a quarrel over the alchemy issue.
Wang Shoufu has been in power for more than thirty years, and he has been sitting on the throne of Shoufu for twenty years.
One can imagine how many villains Wang Shoufu committed during this period.
Under the advice of the villain, Emperor Tianshun could not bear the alchemy issue.
No one knows what kind of game was going on between the two.
Even the history books only have a few sentences recording the complete end of Wang Shoufu's official career.
Moreover, after the king's first assistant, the three generations of Wang family members were not allowed to enter the court and serve as officials.
Seeing this, Xu Yi slowly put down the paper, with an incomprehensible smile on his lips.
"Wang Shoufu is loyal, but he ignores human nature."
"There is no one in the world who can truly face death calmly."
"What's more, he is an emperor who commands the world."
Xu Yi shook his head, rubbed his eyes and continued reading.
Since the beginning of the Wang family, no one has been an official.
Mr. Wang was born at the wrong time, and he happened to be the most unlucky third generation.
After receiving the title, he learned that he could not obtain the title. Mr. Wang collapsed and ran away from home.
One person and one sword traveled for several years.
After returning, Mr. Wang never mentioned the matter of obtaining fame again.
He devoted himself to taking over the small academy inherited from his ancestors, married a wife and had children, and became a teacher with peace of mind.
Over the past few decades, that small academy has produced many outstanding talents.
Among them, the one with the highest official position was Zhou Qiping, who was in the third rank of Jing Zhaoyin.
The eldest son of the prince, Wang Wenqing, and the second son of the Wang family, Wang Wenlian, also have the status of being a member of the imperial family.
I don’t know if it was due to luck or if someone was interfering with it.
Wang Wenqing was stuck on the examination road for nearly ten years, and Wang Wenlian was stuck for five or six years.
The two brothers still hold the title of Juren to this day.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, people who were promoted to high positions were also qualified to fill vacancies, but they could only reach the county magistrate level at most.
However, it is a pity that for more than two hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, everything was lacking except for candidates.
There are too many monks and not enough meat, and due to repeated attempts without success, some gossips gradually spread.
As time passed, many people believed it to be true, at least Lu Jindong believed it firmly.
Xu Yi slowly put down the paper, rubbed his eyes and thought to himself: "With Zhou Qiping serving as an official in the court, it is obviously not difficult for the two brothers to fill a large vacancy in a large county."
"But since the great changes in the Wang family today, it is not difficult to see that this family is all people with integrity."
"It's good to have backbone. If that thing exists, it will definitely not fall into the hands of others."
Xu Yi shook his head, picked up the paper again and looked at it carefully.
The first half of Zhou Qiping's information contains only a few strokes.
Born in an ordinary family, his parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating the food of hundreds of families.
Fortunately, he met Mr. Wang when he was young. Mr. Wang saw that Zhou Qiping was talented and intelligent, so he fell in love with talents.
Since then, Zhou Qiping has become Mr. Wang's most beloved disciple.
The information that followed was some simple resume, which Xu Yi quickly skipped over with a quick glance.
Focus on issues related to disaster relief.
In August of the 29th year of Zhengde, Zhou Qiping was appointed in critical condition and became the third Jing Zhaoyin.
During his tenure, he worked diligently and the number of people in Guanzhong who died of starvation dropped significantly.
However, the good times did not last long, in late September of the 29th year of Zhengde.
There was a case of embezzlement of disaster relief money and food in Guanzhong.
While Zhou Qiping sent people to secretly collect evidence of crimes, he also sold off his property and called on wealthy families and landlords to donate money and food.
It's a pity that those wealthy and distinguished families, landlords and rich people are crying for poverty, and those who are doing miserably are miserably doing so.
How many people can be saved with that little money and food?
In early October of that year, Zhou Qiping collected some incriminating evidence.
The evidence of the crime was revealed in mid-October of the 29th year of Zhengde.
In late October of the 29th year of Zhengde, forty-six corrupt officials were beheaded and their homes ransacked.
The money and food received has really alleviated the crisis of insufficient food for disaster relief.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In November, the food was consumed at a strange speed.
In late November, Zhou Qiping was anonymously impeached.
The day after Zhou Qiping was imprisoned, three boxes of gold were found in the inn where he stayed.
In the end, Zhou Qiping was confiscated from his home and beheaded in early December of the 29th year of Zhengde.
Looking at these messages that are even more detailed than those in the files.
Xu Yi fell into rare silence again.
