Outside Jingzhao Mansion.

The master and servant took the reins handed over by the Yamen servant.

Just when Xu Yi was about to get on his horse.

Zhao Shou on the side could no longer control his expression.

He grinned and laughed: "Sixth Master, I felt so comfortable just now."

"Look at Han Tong's face. It turns white and green at one moment. It's really interesting."

Xu Yi smiled and didn't take it seriously.

It's rude to come and go without reciprocating. Han Tong can rely on having a backer to show off to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi can naturally crush people to death with his official rank, and turn around to return the power.

"Didn't you notice anything other than comfort?"

Xu Yigang was about to drive his horse forward, but suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Zhao Shou.

"Anything else?" Zhao Shou's laughter stopped suddenly, he scratched his head and looked at Xu Yi with confusion on his face.

"Yes, and other things, think about it carefully. After we walked off the platform, was it a little too quiet along the way?"

Xu Yi smiled and guided slowly.

"Okay...that seems to be it."

Zhao Shou scratched his head and said uncertainly.

Along the way, all Zhao Shou's attention was spent on controlling his facial expressions, trying not to laugh out loud.

Where do I have the energy to observe my surroundings?

Seeing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but look solemn: "Remember Zhao Shou, never ignore the surrounding environment at any time."

"The more inconspicuous something is, the more problems it can reflect."

Zhao Shou scratched his head and couldn't help but look serious.

Zhao Shou may have many shortcomings, but as long as Zhao Shou is loyal and willing to learn, Xu Yi will not mind doing his best to teach Zhao Shou.

"I will only say some things once, please remember them."

"The time of Mao in spring, summer and autumn is halfway through Mao."

"At midnight in winter, it's half past Chenshi, so we walked into the lobby at Chenshi."

"The time spent in the lobby did not exceed a quarter of an hour."

"When we walk out of the lobby, there is still about a quarter of an hour before the formal opening."

"If you were an official, what would you do with this quarter of an hour?"

Xu Yi has a serious face and is good at teaching.

Zhao Shou scratched his head and replied: "Maybe I will go to work early, or I may take advantage of this time to solve personal problems."

Xu Yi nodded and continued: "People are complicated. Some people will take advantage of this quarter of an hour to relax, while others will enter the office state in advance."

"There are at least three to four hundred officials in the sixth room. All these three to four hundred people have entered the office in advance. Is this normal?"

This time Zhao Shou quickly replied without hesitating for too long: "It's not normal."

Xu Yi nodded slightly and continued: "But the result is that when we walked off the platform, not a single official from the six rooms stayed outside."

"There was no one in the corridor, and the sixth room was as quiet as death."

"Think about it carefully, what could have caused the sixth room to be so quiet?"

Zhao Shou frowned slightly, thinking constantly in his mind.

After a moment, Zhao Shou suddenly exclaimed: "I thought of it, I thought of Master Liu."

"Say." Xu Yi said calmly.

"They must know that Han Tong came to see Liu Ye."

"And they not only know that Han Tong is going to find Liu Ye, but they also know that Han Tong has no good intentions."

"The reason why they didn't come out was because they didn't want to get too serious with Mr. Liu, or even completely offend Mr. Liu."

"Secondly, they also want to take the opportunity to see Mr. Liu's attitude."

"It can be seen that Han Tong and Liufang are not monolithic."

Zhao Shou quickly stated all his guesses, and after finishing speaking, he kept looking at Xu Yi.

Looking forward to Xu Yi’s approval.

"Basically correct."

Xu Yi nodded and said, "One more thing is that the chief clerks of these six rooms know that Han Tong has a powerful backer behind him."

"They want to use this move to see my attitude towards Han Tong. My attitude towards Han Tong represents, to a certain extent, my attitude towards the person behind Han Tong."

"If I have a tough attitude, it means that I am not afraid of the person behind Han Tong, and I don't even take the person behind Han Tong seriously at all."

"If my attitude is weak, it means that I am afraid of the person behind Han Tong. The status of the person behind Han Tong must be higher than mine."

"Strictly speaking, during the second confrontation, everyone in the six rooms is actually observing. Only after observing can they decide which side to fall to."

"It's really not easy for any of these people to be officials in the capital."

Zhao Shou scratched his head in confusion and asked, "But we don't know who the person behind Han Tong is."

"They think it's enough for us to know."

Xu Yi chuckled and shook his head.

Sometimes the smarter a person is, the easier it is for him to be misled by his cleverness.

Xu Yi transformed from a prince who had been imprisoned for eight years to the commander-in-chief of Jing Zhaoyin's disaster relief.

The real people at the top know what this is all about.

But these ninth-grade masters don’t know.

If they don’t know, everyone will make assumptions.

With this thought, wouldn’t an own goal come out?

Xu Yi chuckled and drove his horse forward slowly, smiling as he walked: "Believe it or not, within three days, someone will take the initiative to join us."

Zhao Shou got on his horse and followed silently. Hearing this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sixth master, are you talking about the master books of the sixth room?"

"No."

Xu Yi shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "The six masters of the house are not that fast, but the classics and historians under them are different. Within three days, at least several classics and historians will be looking for you privately."

"Looking for me?" Zhao Shou pointed to himself in disbelief.

Xu Yi nodded and said: "That's right, I am looking for you. Those Dianshi are not well-established and want to seek refuge with me, so they can only look for you privately."

"Then Master Six, what should I do then?" Zhao Shou nodded as if he understood, and then asked.

"No one will be refused."

Xu Yi replied with a chuckle.

Those classics and historians were not instructed by the Six House Directors to take refuge.

Its purpose is nothing more than to cast stones to ask for directions.

If Xu Yi accepts it, he will do some more operations later.

The so-called second-in-command Fu Cheng will soon be completely eliminated.

The road to becoming an official is full of twists and turns. Changing camps is even more common.

It's nothing more than profit.

When Xu Yi was stronger than the people behind Han Tong, those six housekeepers naturally knew how to make a decision.

I just don’t know how Han Tong and the people behind him will behave at that time.

I think it should be very exciting.

Xu Yi drove his horse forward slowly, just as he was leaving the street where Jingzhao Mansion was located.

Suddenly the horse stopped.

He slowly turned his head and took a deep look at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

If walking out of Zongzheng Temple is Xu Yi's first step towards freedom.

So today's appointment as Jing Zhaoyin is Xu Yi's second step towards freedom.
