"What's the matter?" Xu Yi asked calmly.
Huo Chenghu's face straightened, and he immediately told the story of the accident that happened today.
Xu Yi looked at Huo Chenghu under the high platform, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and praised: "You did a good job, I should take credit for it."
When Huo Chenghu heard this, a flash of joy flashed across his face, and he immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Sir, for your support."
Xu Yi smiled, then changed the subject and said, "Where is the body now?"
"My lord, the body has been brought by the lower officials and is waiting under the platform." Huo Chenghu replied hurriedly.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and ordered: "Bring him up."
"Follow the order!" Huo Chenghu responded loudly, then quickly turned around and walked out of the lobby.
Looking at Huo Chenghu's disappearing back, the smile on Xu Yi's face slowly dissipated.
In fact, if Xu Yi wanted the body, it would be of no use at all.
If you want to capture Yi Haiyuan, you don't need to go to such trouble.
In the final analysis, it was simply Xu Yi's unwillingness to dampen the enthusiasm of his officials for meritorious service.
A small contribution that is innocuous to him can increase the enthusiasm of his officials to a higher level.
Why not do it?
It doesn't take a while.
Two government officials carried a body and followed Huo Chenghu slowly into the lobby.
As soon as the government officer put the body down, Huo Chenghu waved his hand and sent it away.
Then he squatted down and took off all the clothes of the corpse with his own hands, making his face face down.
Huo Chenghu pointed to the three scars on the body and introduced, "Sir, please see, this man has three scars all over his body."
"There was a fatal wound on the back of the head, but the wounds on his back and legs were easy to see from the color that they were all fresh wounds."
"It can be seen that this person must have never resisted at that time."
At this point, Huo Chenghu stopped talking.
It seems to be blank, but in fact this is Huo Chenghu's cleverness.
The words are over.
Huo Chenghu raised his head and looked at Xu Yi, who was frowning next to him.
Xu Yi frowned, looking thoughtful.
After more than ten breaths.
Xu Yi's brows slowly relaxed and he said calmly: "I know about this. Let's take this person's body down for safekeeping first."
Huo Chenghu stood up and saluted with his hands raised: "Follow the order."
After the lobby became completely quiet.
Xu Yi couldn't help but shook his head and thought to himself: "Are you panicking now? Don't panic, this is just the beginning."
Then he walked towards the desk.
Picking up an account book that everyone had sealed earlier, he read it carefully.
It doesn't take a while.
Xu Yi threw the account book directly on the table and picked up another account book.
After just over ten breaths, Xu Yi threw it away again.
After repeating this several times.
Xu Yi completely gave up reading the account books.
Nothing else.
It's all fake!
Not only is it fake, it’s also crazy!
He is so insane that a discerning person can spot it if he pays just a little attention.
Xu Yi frowned, and then called Zhao Shou and said: "Send the order, all the bosses, shopkeepers and others will be interrogated with the 'highest standards', and they must be forced to find out the whereabouts of the real account books!" "
"Obey the order!" Zhao Shou saluted with clasped fists, and then quickly walked out of the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion. @*~~
Xu Yi glanced at the scene outside the lobby.
Unknowingly, night has fallen quietly.
And this night, I don’t know how many people will have sleepless nights.
...
As time passes breath by breath.
Midnight (eleven o'clock in the evening) comes quietly.
In the study room of the inner residence of Jingzhao Mansion.
Xu Yi picked the wick, then turned to look at the engraving.
It's been this hour, and there's still no news from Xu Zhen.
Xu Yi stood up and walked towards the window sill.
Slowly open the window sill and let in the cold air outside.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
: "It seems that there will be one more Emperor Zhengde who can't sleep tonight. @*~~"
"I'm just sorry for my second uncle. He has to sit with Emperor Zhengde at such a late hour."
...
When most of Chang'an City fell into thick darkness.
The entire palace was still brightly lit.
Inside Shuyu Hall.
Concubine Li was lying on the soft couch holding an extremely exquisite heater in her hands.
He looked expressionlessly at Eunuch Liu who was bowing his head in a respectful manner not far away and asked, "Has Your Majesty not left the Avenue Hall yet?"
Mr. Liu lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Back to your Majesty, Your Majesty is still in the Avenue Hall."
Concubine Li continued to ask without comment: "Where is Prince Jin? Has he left?"
Eunuch Liu replied in a low voice: "Go back to your Majesty, I have asked around, and no one has seen King Jin leave the palace."
"Besides Prince Jin, has anyone else entered the Daodao Palace?" Concubine Li asked with a slight eyebrow.
Hearing this, Eunuch Liu hurriedly replied: "I haven't seen anyone else go in. Even the imperial master has been waiting outside during the day."
Concubine Li's expression paused, and then she said calmly: "Step back."
After Eunuch Liu's figure completely disappeared.
Concubine Li's originally calm expression suddenly darkened.
"Xu Zhen! Xu Yi! What a good uncle and nephew!" Concubine Li stared in the direction of the Daodao Palace and murmured in a low voice through gritted teeth.
If it weren't for Xu Zhen, Xu Yi would never leave Zongzheng Temple in his life.
If Xu Yi hadn't walked out of Zongzheng Temple, how could the prince be so passive.
"Huh~!"
Concubine Li exhaled heavily, then extinguished the candlelight beside her with a gloomy expression.
No one knew whether Concubine Li fell asleep in the dark Shuyu Palace or not.
.......
Half past Yin time (four o'clock in the morning.)
Suddenly there was a slight but extremely rapid sound in the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.
Xu Yi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
In just two or three breaths, the sleepiness in his eyes completely dissipated.
Instead, there was an extremely calm expression.
He quietly took off his soft armor, then took off the dragon-tooth dagger from his arm and hid it under the headrest.
Then he turned over and closed his eyes slightly, pretending to be still asleep.
The series of slight and rapid sounds just now were obviously warnings from Qin Xin.
After Xu Yi took over Wen Xin, he secretly taught him many secret codes.
In order to deliver messages more effectively, a code corresponds to an extreme situation.
The warning signal just now corresponds to the palace.
as expected.
It doesn't take a while.
There were bursts of noise outside the inner house.
At the same time, more footsteps were heard.
If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that the footsteps are also mixed with the subtle sound of the collision of armor plates.
In the master bedroom.
Xu Yi closed his eyes slightly and frowned for a moment.
He had already expected that Emperor Zhengde would send someone here.
But he never expected that Emperor Zhengde would make such a big fuss.
"Sixth Master?" Xu Yi was thinking carefully about Emperor Zhengde's purpose. Zhao Shou's low voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Xu Yi calmed down and said softly: "I was tired yesterday and haven't woken up yet. Go and open the door quickly."
"Obey the order!" Zhao Shou responded softly.
Then he stood still for a few breaths and adjusted his emotions.
After everything is ready.
Cursing, he walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Who is it! Why are you making such a fuss without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"I don't know how exhausted our sixth master has been these days from the disaster relief work!"
"Really! Are you all blind? Can't you see how haggard my sixth master has become these days?"
Saying that, Zhao Shou opened the courtyard door angrily.
Then he pretended to be stunned and said, "Who are you?"
Outside the courtyard gate.
All in one.
The middle-aged man in golden armor raised a token and said solemnly: "Dauchi Mingguang Camp! By His Majesty's command, the Sixth Prince Xu Yi will enter the palace immediately to face the Holy Spirit!"
Zhao Shou seemed to be frightened and took two steps back.
The middle-aged man in golden armor walked directly past Zhao Shou and strode towards the inner house.
As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Dauchi Mingguang Camp! By His Majesty's command, Xu Yi, the sixth prince, will enter the palace immediately to meet the emperor."
When he was about to reach the edge of the wing, the middle-aged man stopped suddenly, shouted three times in a row, then stopped talking and waited silently.
This position ensures that Xu Yi can hear the shouts.
Not counting stepping into the real back house, it gave Xu Yi enough face.
It can be seen that there are really not many idiots who can work in the palace.
In the master bedroom.
Xu Yi stood up slowly and walked out of the room with a dazed look like he was still awake.
He weakly cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment and let me... let me freshen up."
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Yi deeply, and then said loudly: "I hope the Sixth Prince will not stay too long."
The words are over.
Xu Yi arched his hands and then weakly walked into the main room.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Yi finally regained some energy after washing himself.
Xu Yi looked at the middle-aged man and said calmly: "Let's go."
"Sixth Prince, please follow me." The middle-aged man saluted with clasped fists, then turned and walked towards the door.
Behind him, Xu Yi followed gradually and firmly.
As soon as Fang walked out of the door of the inner house, more than twenty Mingguang soldiers immediately surrounded him and consciously dispersed around Xu Yi and the other two.
The officials in Jingzhao Mansion who were awakened all looked sideways upon seeing this.
Outside Jingzhao Mansion.
An extremely luxurious carriage parked alone by the side door. @*~~
"Sixth Prince, please." The middle-aged man reached out and opened the door curtain.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then stepped into the carriage.
After a while, the carriage started running forward smoothly.
In the carriage, Xu Yi opened the curtain and took a look at the dark night.
Then he lay down on the soft couch of the carriage.
He frowned and thought about Emperor Zhengde's intentions.
Ouchi Mingguang camp cannot be mobilized except by the monarch. Anyone who mobilizes without authorization will be punished for treason.
Emperor Zhengde could clearly order one or two eunuchs to come and deliver the message, so why did he choose such a striking Mingguang camp?
What kind of wishful thinking is he having?
"The trouble is diverted to the east!" Xu Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed inwardly.
Then he slowly shook his head, couldn't help but sneered, and said to himself: "This Emperor Zhengde is really both worthy and established!"
I also want to take down those aristocratic families and loot their homes to get money, but I don't want to completely hate the aristocratic family group because of this.
And Xu Yi became the scapegoat of Emperor Zhengde.
"Zizzizi." Xu Yi smacked his lips, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "It seems that you are really old, and you have started to look forward and backward in doing things!"
"However, it's a pity that you chose the wrong scapegoat. Let's make a fuss and make calculations to see who can have the last laugh."
After thinking about the cause and effect, Xu Yi slowly shook his head and then closed his eyes, leaning on the soft surface of the carriage and closing his eyes to rest.
Emperor Zhengde had been plotting from the very beginning, and the Mingguang warriors headed by him obviously didn't come here just to convey an order.
There may not be any unfounded ideas in it.
However, it is a pity that Xu Yi was prepared for it.
After that night in the Wang Family Courtyard, Xu Yi could no longer use the Wenxin Baiwei without using the Wenxin Baiwei.
In the darkness before dawn.
A carriage and more than twenty war horses galloped through the streets of Chang'an City without hesitation.
For a time, the sound of horse hooves, wheels, and the barking of dogs could be heard.
I do not know how long it has been.
The speeding carriage slowly slowed down.
Xu Yi, who had closed his eyes to rest his mind, pretended not to know, leaned on the couch and snored slightly.
"Sixth Prince, Sixth Prince." As soon as the carriage stopped, the middle-aged man's rich voice sounded from outside the carriage.
Xu Yi ignored it. .
Wait until he calls a few more times.
Xu Yicai let out a sleepy sigh.
Then he opened the car curtain with a sleepy look on his face and said vaguely: "Are you here?"
"Here we are." The middle-aged man replied. _o_m
"Oh." Xu Yi rubbed his eyes and slowly got out of the carriage.
When he landed, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man helped Xu Yi in time.
Xu Yi rubbed his face and cupped his hands in embarrassment: "Thank you, General. I'd like to apologize for my rudeness. I'm really too sleepy these days."
The middle-aged man smiled and said politely: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The sixth prince's deeds of serving the people wholeheartedly will be heard by many generals."
The words are over.
The middle-aged man pointed at the palace gate not far away and Zhan Zhu, who was walking slowly.
He opened his mouth and said: "General, please send the sixth prince here. Eunuch Zhan will take the sixth prince there next."
Xu Yi said a few polite words and then slowly walked towards Zhan Zhu.
He may seem polite, but in fact he is always defensive.
I think it won't be long before Xu Yi's performance along the way will be reported to Emperor Zhengde by the middle-aged man.
At that time, Xu Yi's disguise all the way will really play its due role.
What Xu Yi did during this period has already spread throughout Chang'an City.
Xu Yi didn't believe that Emperor Zhengde didn't know.
Folk prestige is a double-edged sword for Xu Yi at this time.
While gaining a lot of popular prestige, it was bound to attract the attention of Emperor Zhengde.
Xu Yi understands better than anyone that being with a king is like being with a tiger.
What's more, Emperor Zhengde was such a jealous emperor.
Naturally, we need to be more careful and on guard at all times.
Don't forget the witchcraft disaster eight years ago, let alone why Xu Yong took the risk to get involved in the quagmire of disaster relief.
In the final analysis, the initiator was actually Emperor Zhengde himself.
In the final analysis, the purpose of Xu Yi's disguise was to dispel some of Emperor Zhengde's suspicions.
As for how much it can be dispelled, Xu Yi doesn't know.
But if you don’t do it, your suspicions will only grow slowly over time!
When it grows to a certain level, it might be another witchcraft disaster!
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi exhaled a breath of air quietly.
Then he cheered up and walked towards Zhan Zhu.
Get ready for the next challenge. .
