Early next morning.
It was just dawn.
On the bed in Jingzhao Mansion, Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes.
He put his hands under his head and looked at the roof quietly.
I didn’t know what I was thinking for a while.
After a while.
Xu Yi stood up slowly and dressed briefly.
He took out the Zhanyuan knife from the knife stand next to the desk in his bedroom.
"Oops!"
The Zhanyuan Sword came out of the scabbard with an extremely sharp cold light.
Xu Yi took a piece of white cloth and slowly wiped the spotless Zhanyuan knife.
As the blade of the blade was slowly wiped with a white cloth, Xu Yi's eyes became sharper.
Upon closer inspection, the sharp eyes contained endless killing intent.
"Its daybreak."
Xu Yi murmured in a low voice and then stood up.
Slowly put the Zhanyuan Sword back into its sheath.
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi exhaled heavily, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Then he strode out of the main house.
Outside the main house.
In the past, only Zhao Shou was waiting at the main entrance, but today there were suddenly two more people.
Xu Yigang opened the door.
The two men neatly bowed and bowed, "I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
These two men were obviously the Wang brothers. From the way they claimed to be, it was not difficult to see that what Mr. Wang said last night had already been discussed with these two brothers.
Xu Yi nodded and said calmly: "After breakfast, come with me to order mao."
"As ordered!" The two brothers agreed in unison.
It's still early at this point.
After Xu Yi washed up, he slowly started practicing the eight steps of Vajra Kung Fu.
This... seems to have become a habit.
From the time Xu Yi walked out of the room to the time he finished breakfast, it took more than half an hour.
None of the female members of the Wang family left the wing.
It's not that they are lazy, but that they are hindered by their reasoning.
Xu Yi glanced at the rooms on the left and right.
It's inconvenient for the women of the Wang family, and it's equally inconvenient for him, a big man.
Fortunately, this is only temporary.
"Let's go." Xu Yi said softly, and then walked towards the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Behind him, Zhao Shou had a sword on his waist, half a body behind Xu Yi.
The Wang brothers are one and a half positions behind.
...
The lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Xu Yi took out a file from the desk room and sat down in the lobby.
While flipping through the files, he waited silently.
Every moment.
The opening comes from walking slowly outside the lobby.
At this point, the beginning of Jingzhao Mansion’s Dian Mao began.
Halfway through Chen hour.
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Shou beside him.
Zhao Shou understood, walked to the gong beside him, and knocked hard three times.
At this point, the tapping ceremony officially begins. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
While Zhao Shou was counting the roster in his hand.
Xu Yi slowly looked at the people below.
His eyes rested on Xiang Zhong inadvertently for a breath.
After Xiang Zhong nodded slightly, Xu Yi continued to look around.
A rare person appeared in the lobby today.
I don’t know if it’s because people’s shoes were too fragrant in the past two days or something.
Although Chang Shuirong came to answer Mao today, his complexion was still livid.
"Sir." After Zhao Shou finished counting the last official's name, he placed the roster on the desk in front of Xu Yi with both hands.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then said: "If there is nothing else important today, everything will remain as usual."
The words just finished.
Xiang Zhong then strode forward, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, I have something important to report."
"Oh?" Xu Yi pretended to be curious: "What's the matter?"
A trace of sadness flashed across Fang Zhong's face and he said, "Sir, my subordinates passed by Yongpingfang when they came to answer Mao today."
"I saw a street in Yongpingfang was flooded so badly that most of it was destroyed."
"My subordinates are worried. (The next page will be more exciting!)
There were no casualties, so he went to the common people and the village chief to inquire about the situation. "
"The mayor said that the water leakage was caused by the dry weather. One of the households accidentally knocked over an oil lamp, which caused the water leakage."
"On that day, most of the people went to our Jingzhao Mansion to watch and found nearby accommodation late at night, so there were not too many casualties."
"Only the thirteen members of the family who overturned the oil lamp were killed in the fire, and the rest only had their houses destroyed."
Xiang Zhong paused and looked up at Xu Yi.
There was nothing strange on Xu Yi's face.
Then he continued: "My subordinates visited more than ten households in the surrounding area. Most of the people looked evasive and spoke vaguely."
"At that time, my subordinates realized that something was wrong, so they took advantage of the fact that the director was not paying attention."
"Sneaked into a house and interrogated him."
"The people told the truth. The people said that the night before yesterday, when the fire broke out, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting on the street."
"Seeing the fire coming, the people hesitated again and again. Just when they wanted to go out and escape, they heard the screams of their neighbors outside the street."
"The people were so frightened that they took their whole family and climbed over the back wall to escape."
"Don't dare to turn back until daybreak."
"The common people and the head of the village have different opinions, and my subordinates believe that there must be something fishy about this case."
"I hope you will learn from this."
The words are over.
Fang Zhong faced Xu Yi and bowed down to salute.
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The common people and the village chief hold different opinions. It is really difficult to tell who is true and who is false."
"It's okay if it's fake. It's just an accidental water leak. In the future, just arrange more manpower to read out nighttime fire prevention."
"But if it is murder and arson! This matter will be very bad!"
"The bandits dare to kill people and set fire today, and they may dare to assassinate court officials tomorrow, and they may dare to rebel the next day!"
The words are over.
Chang Shuirong in the crowd just wanted to speak out.
It's a pity that Xu Yi didn't give him this chance.
Xu Yi has already seen through people like Chang Shuirong.
This is a typical character who cares about eating but not fighting, and who is born to fight for the sake of fighting.
If it had been another time, Xu Yi might still have the time to fight with him.
but now......
Ah.
Xu Yi glanced at Chang Shuirong and said decisively: "Fang Fangzhong!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhong stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "My subordinate is here!"
Xu Yi looked at Fang Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Fang Zhong, I allow you to lead ten prison guards to investigate this matter! No matter what, let me get to the bottom of this matter!"
"I obey the order!" Xiang Zhong was overjoyed, and then he solemnly saluted with his hands in hand.
Xu Yi then looked at the fast class leader and called his name: "Qu Jingyi."
Qu Jingyi's face straightened, he stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted, "My subordinate is here!"
Xu Yi said solemnly: "I allow you to lead ten fast-track detectives to fully assist Fang Zhong. During the investigation, if anyone causes trouble, no matter who it is, they will be captured!"
Qu Jingyi solemnly said: "I obey the order!"
"inappropriate!"
Before the two of them retreated, Chang Shuirong could no longer hold back and shouted that something was wrong.
Then he said solemnly: "Sixth Prince! Jing Zhaoyin's top priority is disaster relief! At this time, you dispatch twenty people to investigate the unwarranted leak! Disregarding disaster relief! Aren't you putting the cart before the horse?"
Xu Yi ignored Chang Shuirong.
He turned to look at Fu Wei Kaiyuan aside.
He said calmly: "I still have important matters to deal with today. I will leave the coordination of donations outside the main gate to Master Zhang."
Zhang Kaiyuan also ignored Chang Shuirong's shouting, stepped out of the queue and saluted with his hands raised: "Please rest assured, sir, I will do my best.\./hand\./machine\./version\./无\ ./wrong\./first\./post~~”
Xu Yi stood up slowly, bowed his hands and bowed in return and said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
The words are over.
As soon as Xu Yi stood up, Chang Shuirong said with a red face: "Sixth Prince! Don't turn a deaf ear to my words!"
"Do you believe it or not? I will write a letter of impeachment against you today."
Xu Yi. (The next page is more exciting!)
As if he had not heard anything, he faced all the officials and said loudly: "I know that you have been working hard recently, and I ask you to persevere."
"When the disaster relief is over, I will definitely hold a banquet to thank you all for your hard work."
"At the same time, as I said before, I see everything you do every day."
"It's time to provide disaster relief. I will personally go to court to ask for your merits!"
The words are over.
All the officials in the hall looked happy.
When Chang Shuirong launched an attack, their lives were already hanging by a thread, but Xu Yi took precautions and saved them.
This is a great favor.
There is no way to repay a great favor, but Xu Yi is willing to take credit for them and open up the path for them to rise.
One can imagine how full of energy everyone has in their hearts at this time.
"Sixth Prince!" Seeing Xu Yi ignoring him more and more, Chang Shuirong's chest was completely filled with anger.
Xu Yi looked calm as usual and said: "Please return to your positions quickly and fulfill your duties."
All the officials in the hall bent down and saluted loudly: "I obey the order!"
From the beginning to the end, no one looked directly at Chang Shuirong.
Let Chang Shuirong jump up and down there.
If it were in the past, they might still be concerned about Chang Shuirong's official position.
But now, strictly speaking, they already have a backer.
They are as good as their backers, and this is absolutely true.
Xu Yi slowly walked towards the desk, picked up Han Tong's files and account books and began to read through them slowly.
"Sixth Prince! I am an inspector appointed by His Majesty! How dare you do this to me?"
"Do you know that you are disrespectful to His Majesty!"
Seeing that most of the officials in the hall had walked out of the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.
Chang Shuirong roared angrily.
Xu Yi, on the other hand, continued to flip through the files as if he had never heard of it.
In fact, a complete set of comprehensive plans have been arranged for Chang Shuirong in his heart.
The more you dance now, the harder you cry later.
"You! You! You!" Chang Shuirong's face was red, and his hand pointing at Xu Yi was trembling wildly.
He looked like he was going crazy.
Xu Yi, on the other hand, still looked calm and unhurried.
No matter how much Chang Shuirong jumped up and down, he never looked at him seriously.
After all the officials have exited the lobby.
Xu Yi stood up slowly, holding the file and walking towards the inner house.
And Chang Shuirong was still following Xu Yi, accusing him endlessly.
When he entered the main entrance of the inner house, Xu Yi turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Shou who was half a step behind him.
Seeing Zhao Shou nodding slightly, Xu Yi continued to walk towards the inner house.
Master and servant can be on the same page about some things.
Or, you can call this behavior a tacit understanding.
As soon as Xu Yi walked into the main entrance of the inner house, Zhao Shou stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Secretary Chang, if you break into the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion without the permission of my sixth master, you will be considered a thief." Zhao Shou said expressionlessly.
"Thief?" Chang Shuirong looked cold and reprimanded loudly: "You slave, who are you calling a thief? Who gave you the courage to insult the imperial official!"
Zhao Shou smiled contemptuously, ignored Chang Shuirong's question, and closed the main door in front of Chang Shuirong. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
I don't know if Zhao Shou forgot to bolt the door or what.
The main entrance to the inner house is just a virtual gate.
First Xu Yi ignored him, then the officials ignored him, and now even a little servant in his eyes dared to ignore him.
The anger in Chang Shuirong's heart can be imagined.
"Clang!" a sound.
The main door of the inner house was kicked open by Chang Shuirong.
Immediately, Chang Shuirong walked into the main entrance of the inner house with a red face and yelled: "How dare a mere servant humiliate an official of the imperial court!"
"Let's go! Follow me to see your master! I want to see it! This is how the sixth prince of the Zhou Dynasty teaches his slaves!"
Chang Shuirong just finished speaking.
A fist the size of a sandbag rushed straight towards Chang Shuirong's door.
"Clang!" There was another loud noise.
Chang Shuirong was beaten so hard that he leaned directly against him. (The next page is more exciting!)
on the front door panel.
"Come on! Catch the thief!"
"Someone broke into the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion without permission!"
"There are flower pickers!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Zhao Shou yelled crazily, and every time he shouted, he punched and kicked him!
Chang Shuirong, who was beaten straight away, held his head and rolled left and right on the ground.
At this moment, the female members of the Wang family heard the sound and exposed their heads from the side room.
Xu Yi slowly walked out of the main room, nodded at Wang Qiujin, who looked curious, and then waved his hand to signal him to come out.
After Wang Qiujin came out, Xu Yi waved his hands to the left and right, signaling everyone to go back to the room.
"Is this person your political enemy?" Wang Qiujin glanced curiously at Chang Shuirong, who was being beaten by Zhao Shou.
Xu Yi chuckled and said, "He's not qualified yet, he's just a biting dog."
Wang Qiujin looked up at Xu Yi who was smiling and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Xu Yi suppressed the smile on his face and said calmly: "Has the old man woke up?"
Wang Qiujin nodded and replied: "Grandpa has woken up and is eating in the wing."
Xu Yi took a look at the sky and said calmly: "After the old man has finished his meal, please invite the old man to the courtyard to bask in the sun."
The words are over.
Xu Yi turned around and walked to the study, leaving Wang Qiujin confused.
Zhao Shou was allowed to continue beating Chang Shuirong violently.
Before Mr. Wang leaves the wing, Zhao Shou's beatings will never stop.
Fortunately, Zhao Shou knows the importance of what to do.
After a while.
Chang Shuirong's wailing gradually became quieter.
At this moment, Wang Qiujin supported Mr. Wang and slowly walked out of the wing.
Xu Yi walked out of the study and said hello to Mr. Wang.
Then he walked towards Zhao Shou. \./hand\./machine\./version\./first\./issue\./update\./new~~
"Zhao Shou, who is on the ground?" Xu Yi asked knowingly.
"I don't know." Zhao Shou stopped his fists and stood up and replied: "Just after Chang Shilang left, a thief kicked open the main door of the inner house. He was caught by his subordinates. In the panic, his subordinates did not see clearly who was coming. .”
"Oh?" Xu Yi asked doubtfully, "I think this court uniform belongs to Chang Shilang."
"Chang Shilang?" Zhao Shou exclaimed, pretending to be panicked and said, "It's impossible, my subordinates just told Chang Shilang that he was leaving!"
"Xu Yi!" Chang Shuirong, who was lying on the ground, finally regained his breath. Then he heard the master and servant singing in harmony, and instantly became furious again.
"Who calls my prince by his first name?" At this time, Xu Yi seemed to be even angrier than Chang Shuirong, and reprimanded loudly: "Whoever calls my prince by his first name, don't you know that this is a great disrespect to the royal family!"
"You! You! You!" Chang Shuirong's face turned pale for a while, then black for a while. If he hadn't been so angry, how could he have made such a stupid mistake.
"Hmm? Chang Shilang?" Xu Yi seemed to have determined the identity of the underground person at this time.
Chang Shuirong was filled with anger, but he also knew that he should not dwell too much on this matter at this time.
If he pesters Zhao Shou and beats him, Xu Yi will definitely hold him accountable for calling the prince by his name and being disrespectful to the royal family.
What's more, if strictly investigated, it would be his fault who was the one who allowed him to break into the inner house without any reason.
Chang Shuirong endured the severe pain and anger, and his face turned green and white for a while. He was really a mute eating Coptis chinensis and could not tell the pain.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I would like to ask Mr. Chang to leave the official residence." Seeing Chang Shuirong stand up, Xu Yi issued an eviction order without any politeness.
"You!" Chang Shuirong took a few deep breaths and then said, "I have an important matter to discuss with the Sixth Prince. The order given by the Sixth Prince in the lobby just now was a bit wrong!"
"The duty of Jingzhao Mansion is to protect the stability of Chang'an City, but this happens at one time and the other!"
"The top priority of Jingzhao Mansion is disaster relief, not those..."
As soon as Chang Shuirong's tirade began, Xu Yi couldn't help but interrupt it.
After all, it's still the same rhetoric, accusing Xu Yi of not doing well here and not doing well there.
The purpose was simply to make Xu Yi change his order at night, or to lose his dignity in front of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
. (The next page is more exciting!)
Xu Yi didn't have time to listen to Chang Shuirong's long speech here.
"Stop it." Xu Yi stopped him: "Mr. Chang, don't forget your identity. You are just the supervisor. I am the real commander-in-chief of disaster relief."
"Okay, I don't want to listen to your long talk here. I have important matters to deal with."
"Zhao Shou, see off the guests!"
The words are over.
Xu Yi showed no mercy, turned around and walked straight towards Mr. Wang.
Just as Chang Shuirong was about to drink to stop Xu Yi, he saw Mr. Wang sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the courtyard not far away.
Although he has never met Mr. Wang, this does not prevent him from seeing the importance of this person from Xu Yi's words.
Especially when Xu Yi walked up to Mr. Wang and bowed again, his words and deeds were full of politeness.
Chang Shuirong rolled his eyes and turned around to leave without waiting for Zhao Shou's urging.
Before leaving, he even snorted several times with a puff of sleeves.
...
Wang Qiujin glanced at the main entrance, and then reminded softly: "That person is gone."
Since the fire and the chase, Wang Qiujin's attitude towards Xu Yi has become much better.
At least, the wariness in his eyes had completely dissipated with the fire.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then raised his hands and apologized: "Thank you for your hard work, old man."
Although Mr. Wang didn't understand what happened.
But at this point, trust has been established, so naturally you won't care about these details.
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "I am already very happy that I can still help you, sir. Not to mention the hard work."
Xu Yi smiled and said a few polite words.
Then he walked towards the study.
In the study room, Leader Wenxin has been waiting for a long time.
Xu Yi walked into the study and ordered: "Arrange ten people to take turns monitoring Chang Shuirong. No matter what, they must stay close to each other, even if Chang Shuirong goes to the toilet."
The leader of Qixin nodded in agreement.
Then he quickly walked out of the study.
Xu Yi leaned on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes slightly, and quickly checked and filled in the gaps.
Chang Shuirong, the cold and violent person in the lobby, is the first step.
Arousing Chang Shuirong's anger and making him follow him to the inner house is the second step.
The third step is to arrange for Zhao Shou to beat Chang Shuirong violently on the grounds of misunderstanding and further arouse the anger in Chang Shuirong's heart.
In the end, Xu Yi came forward to sing harmony with Zhao Shou, and then issued an eviction order without mercy, which added new fuel to the anger in Chang Shuirong's heart. This was the fourth step.
As for asking Wang Qiujin to invite Mr. Wang out, it was revealed that Mr. Wang was in the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion, and the relationship between the two was extremely polite.
This was specially designed by Xu Yi for Chang Shuirong.
The purpose was simply to use Chang Shuirong's help to quickly spread the news in a certain circle that Mr. Wang was in Jingzhao Mansion and that Xu Yi had most likely obtained Zhou Qiping's relics.
This move will definitely attract the most hostile eyes and even bring countless dangers.
But at the same time, the risk of asking for relics will plummet.
In a word, when the enemy suspects that you have a deadly weapon, you'd better actually have it.
As long as the things Zhou Qiping left behind were heavy enough and there was no need for them to trouble Xu Yi, Xu Yi would personally visit those aristocratic families.
In addition, Xu Yi has another purpose.
That is, take this opportunity to see who Chang Shuirong's new backers and potential enemies are.
Guessing ten thousand times in your mind is not as good as actually verifying one or two points.
Shooting rabbits in the grass is a convenient thing, why not do it?
...
After a while.
Leader Wen Xin quietly walked into the study and reported in a low voice: "Young master, all the instructions have been given."
Xu Yi nodded and slowly wrote a few lines of small words on the rice paper.
Place it in front of the leader who asks the heart.
After more than ten breaths.
Xu Yi asked softly: "Have you written it down?"
The leader of Questioning Heart nodded heavily and replied: "Recite it backwards like a stream."
Xu Yi looked at the leader of Wenxin and said solemnly: "Thirty people are left in Jingzhao Mansion to be on guard."
. (The next page is more exciting!)
"After nightfall, you take the rest of the brothers and go there yourself."
Seeing Xu Yi's extremely solemn expression, Leader Wenxin felt a chill in his heart, knowing that this matter was important.
He hurriedly said solemnly: "Follow the order!"
Xu Yi looked through the window sill and glanced at the sky outside the window.
Then he added: "While there are not many eyes staring at Jingzhao Mansion now, we will disperse the brothers later.\./hand\./machine\./edition\./first\./issue\./ Update\./New~~”
"After the matter is completed, don't go back to Jingzhao Mansion. Take your things directly to Prince Jin's Mansion."
The words are over.
Xu Yi stood up slowly and took out a long tube-shaped thing from his arms.
He solemnly handed it into the hands of leader Wen Xin and whispered: "If there is danger, or a major change occurs."
"Unscrew the bottom cap and light this firework. I will receive the message then."
Fireworks and firecrackers have existed for hundreds of years in the Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, until now, their use is generally just for viewing during the New Year.
Leader Wen Xin clenched the fireworks in his hand and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, little master, Wen Xin will definitely live up to his trust!"
Xu Yi nodded and said seriously: "Go ahead, I'll be waiting to show you my merit."
The words are over.
The leader of Asking Heart cupped his fists and saluted. Then he strode out of the study.
Xu Yi looked at the empty main entrance and murmured in his heart: "Zhou Qiping, don't let me down.".
