In the study room of Xiaoyinshan official office.
Xu Yi smiled and did not take Meng Shaoping's flattery to heart.
In his view, it only provides some different insights.
It's not a big deal.
Xu Yi calmed down and took out a one-foot-thick book from his sleeve.
He handed it over to Yang Xian'an who was waiting for orders with great solemnity.
"This is the method of refining snowflake salt. Get it first and be careful."
Xu Yi looked at Yang Xian'an and warned him with a very solemn expression.
When Yang Xian'an heard this, his expression became extremely solemn.
Let’s not mention the weight of the three characters “snowflake salt” for the moment.
Just recruit the most loyal men from the Lao Wu family from Xu Yi.
He also secretly ordered Meng Shaoping, the most mysterious ghost among the three lieutenants in the trapped camp, to lay various traps, traps and other measures around Xiaoyin Mountain.
This shows how much Xu Yi attaches importance to him.
"Please rest assured, Master Six, and make sure you live up to Master Six's high expectations first."
Yang Xian'an stood up and bowed solemnly, his expression full of determination.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then motioned for Yang Xian'an to take a seat.
After Yang Xianan took his seat again, Xu Yi moved his eyes to Meng Shaoping and said calmly: "Shaoping."
Meng Shaoping straightened his back and clasped his fists in salute, saying, "The end is here."
Xu Yi said with a calm face: "Let's work hard tonight and interrogate the tails who brought the orphans back."
Meng Shaoping's mouth showed an extremely weird smile.
Then he stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, saying, "General, I will obey your order!"
After Yang Xianan and Meng Shaoping got up and left.
Xu Yi stood up and walked to the window sill, slowly pushing open the study window sill.
Outside the window, dots of stars connect to form a dazzling galaxy.
Of course.
The dazzling galaxy couldn't blow away the thick night.
Xu Yi stood at the window sill of the study room, staring at the dark night.
No words were spoken for a long time.
at the same time.
In Juyang City, which is a hundred miles away.
A silent massacre was in full swing.
The spy who frequently appears outside Prince Yan's Mansion and Wang Daying.
Without exception, they were all buried under this starry night.
Not a trace of struggle.
Not even a trace of pain.
In a quiet night, die quietly.
This may be the last respect given to them by the Wenxin Baiwei.
...
...
Gradually, gradually.
The night is already dark.
Juyang City, burning with thousands of lights, gradually fell into darkness.
The chirping of summer insects gradually filled the dark night.
Of course.
The backyard of the Zhu Mansion, located in the south of Juyang City, was not affected by the night at all and was still brightly lit like day.
In the Dexing Hall in the backyard of Zhu Mansion.
More than twenty Zhu family disciples were sitting at the bottom of Dexing Hall.
The sound of crackling beads, the sound of turning books, and the sound of rustling writing could be heard constantly from the side of the more than 20 Zhu family disciples.
The sounds inside Dexing Hall gradually merged with the chirping of insects outside Dexing Hall.
It constitutes the most beautiful music in this late night.
Zhu Huaimin leaned back and leaned on the nanmu Taishi chair worth a thousand gold.
With his eyes slightly closed, his fingers kept tapping the armrests of Nanmu Taishi's chair.
It seems to be in harmony with the wonderful music inside and outside the hall.
….
It's as if he is quietly thinking about the future layout of the Zhu family while closing his eyes and recuperating.
Just when there was peace in Dexing Hall.
A middle-aged man in loose brocade clothes hurriedly walked into Dexing Hall.
crack
The sounds of beads clicking, books flipping, and writing rustling all came together.
The middle-aged man in brocade slightly waved his hand to signal everyone to continue.
Then he quickly walked towards Zhu Huaimin who was at the top.
"father."
The middle-aged man came closer and spoke in a low voice.
Zhu Huaimin opened his eyes, sat up slowly, and said tiredly: "The third child is back."
"Dad, please slow down." Zhu Guangren, the third son of the Zhu family, hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
After Zhu Huaimin stood up, he waved his hands slightly and asked slowly: "Have you found out the origins of the corpses that the officials of Prince Yan's palace sent to the government office?"
Zhu Guangren nodded and replied, "I've checked it out."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Guangren leaned close to Zhu Huaimin's ear and whispered the found information.
After more than ten breaths.
Zhu Huaimin nodded slightly and said tiredly: "This matter ends here, don't continue to investigate further."
"Okay." Zhu Guangren nodded and agreed.
Then he opened his mouth, just as he was about to say something.
He was gently interrupted by Zhu Huaimin.
"Help me go to the bedroom." Zhu Huaimin stood up slowly and said.
Zhu Guangren's heart moved and he hurriedly helped Zhu Huaimin up.
When he reached the door, Zhu Huaimin turned his back to more than twenty Zhu family disciples and said slowly: "That's it for today."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Huaimin slowly walked out of Dexing Hall with the support of Zhu Guangren.
After Zhu Huaimin and Zhu Guangren walked out of Dexing Hall.
All the twenty or so Zhu family disciples in Dexing Hall breathed a sigh of relief.
He rubbed his wrists for a while, stood up and moved his legs and feet.
Zhu Zongting, the grandson of Zhu's parents, stood up and stretched heavily, then clapped his hands and said: "There are midnight snacks in the kitchen. After everyone has sorted out the account books, you can go on your own."
As soon as these words came out, Dexing Hall felt a lot more relaxed.
"Brother Ting, why did this year's accounting start in August?"
After a Zhu family kid who was about the same age as Zhu Zongting was sorted out, he came to Zhu Zongting and asked in a low voice.
Zhu Zongting smiled and then said: "After finishing everything, I went to the dining room early. Today, grandpa asked the kitchen to stew a century-old wild ginseng. If I go there late, it will be gone."
"Oh." The younger brother of the Zhu family, who was about the same age as him, saw that he couldn't tell anything, so he walked down the slope and said, "Then I will go to the dining room to wait for Brother Ting first."
"Okay, go quickly." Zhu Zongting chuckled and patted the man on the shoulder.
After everyone in Dexing Hall has gone away.
Zhu Zongting slowly walked out of Dexing Hall, stood outside Dexing Hall, and looked toward the east of the city in the dark night.
A look of yearning flashed in his eyes.
...
...
In the master bedroom of Yiyang Courtyard in the backyard of the Zhu family.
Zhu Guangren helped Zhu Huaimin to the sandalwood bed.
Then he waved his hand and dismissed the servants on the left and right.
….
He personally took off Zhu Huaimin's shoes and socks and took off his clothes.
"Third brother." Zhu Huaimin leaned on the sandalwood bed and called softly.
Zhu Guangren said softly: "Dad, the child is here."
"We are the only two here. If you have any questions, just ask." Zhu Huaimin leaned on the bed and said slowly.
Zhu Guangren paused slightly when he heard this, and then asked: "Dad, there is something unknown about my child. Now that the identities of those corpses have been found out, why don't you follow the clues and continue to investigate further."
"If we could find out the real behind-the-scenes instigator, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
Zhu Huaimin smiled and then asked: "Old Third, why do you think His Highness King Yan sent so many corpses? Could it be that
Is it true that His Highness Prince Yan cannot be caught alive? "
"Huh?" Zhu Guangren lowered his head and pondered for a few breaths, and then said with surprise on his face: "Dad means..."
He didn't wait for Zhu Guangren to finish speaking.
Zhu Huaimin chuckled and interrupted: "With your intelligence, you should have figured out the key from the beginning."
"After all, there are too many trivial matters these days, which have confused your thoughts."
"Let's have a good rest after we go back tonight. The accounting can be completed in a day or two, so there is no need to be too anxious."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Huaimin waved his hand slightly to signal Zhu Guangren to retreat.
Seeing this, Zhu Guangren slowly exited the master bedroom.
When he walked outside the master bedroom, he felt the cool evening breeze blowing gently.
My brain, which had been slightly cloudy due to hard work, suddenly sobered up.
Zhu Guangren looked up at the stars, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and murmured to himself: "That's it."
Whether the identities of those corpses can be found out in today's investigation is not important to the overall situation.
What matters is whether or not you take this action.
Just like what Xu Yi did today, he could obviously dispose of the corpses of those tails without leaving any trace.
But he ordered people to send a few insignificant tail corpses to the county government.
Zhu Guangren, who wanted to understand everything, withdrew his gaze and walked out of Yiyang Courtyard with ease.
At this moment, the night became darker and darker.
...
...
In the master bedroom of Yiyang Courtyard.
Zhu Huaimin was leaning on the nanmu bed.
Just when I want to turn off the lights and sleep.
A man's figure suddenly appeared on the window paper between the inside and outside of the master bedroom.
Zhu Huaimin was shocked. Among the servants who could enter the master bedroom to serve him, except for an old servant, there was no man.
At this time, the figure reflected on the window paper by the candlelight was obviously that of a young man.
"Which friend is visiting my humble home? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could prepare some small gifts to entertain your friend?"
Zhu Huaimin composed himself and spoke in a particularly calm voice.
"I came to visit late at night, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you can forgive me, Mrs. Zhu."
The man outside the door paused, facing the master bedroom and bowing slightly in salute.
Seeing that the people outside the door were not malicious, Zhu Huaimin felt slightly relieved.
Then he asked, "I don't know why my friend came here."
The man outside the door replied: "I came here to deliver a message on my master's order. I hope I can see the old lady when he goes out."
Zhu Huaimin's heart moved slightly and he stared at the person outside the door for a few seconds.
Then he said calmly: "Friend, please wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, the figure on the window paper under the candlelight slowly retreated while maintaining the gesture of saluting with both hands.
….
In the end, only the upper body was left on the window paper.
Zhu Huaimin felt calm after seeing this, and then slowly stood up.
'Creak, after a light sound.
Zhu Huaimin's figure slowly walked out of the bedroom.
As far as the eye can see, a masked man in black clothes stands upright next to the window sill outside the master bedroom with his hands raised.
Beside him, six Yiyangyuan maids sat neatly beside the window sill.
Zhu Huaimin took a closer look and saw the six maids breathing evenly, and felt calm again.
"Who is your master?" Zhu Huaimin asked softly.
The masked man in black, as if he had never heard of him, saw Zhu Huaimin walk out of the room completely.
Then he replied softly: "My master said it's time to start."
When Zhu Huaimin heard this, he immediately became stunned and could not speak for a long time.
Only after the figure of the masked man in black completely disappeared in the thick night did Zhu Huaimin finally come back to his senses.
As for who the master in the masked black clothes was, Zhu Huaimin no longer needed to ask at this time.
'It's time to start...' Zhu Huaimin stared at the thick night outside the window and murmured in a low voice.
murmured.
After more than ten breaths.
Zhu Huaimin walked to the window sill outside and slowly closed the window sill.
Then he turned around and walked to the master bedroom.
Zhu Huaimin leaned on the nanmu bed again.
He was obviously exhausted physically and mentally, but he no longer felt sleepy at all.
The figure of the young feudal king kept reappearing in the back of his mind.
'How...how...how could it be so fast...,
'Could it be...could it be...that he was fully prepared...
'But...but this...but this is too fast. ,
Zhu Huaimin was leaning on the nanmu bed. The more he thought about it, the harder it was to suppress the shock deep in his heart.
I especially remember the secret conversation he had with Xu Yi in the Chinese army's tent when Wang Camp was recruiting troops for the first time.
It was from that day on.
The accounting, which was supposed to start near the end of the new year, was three or four months ahead of schedule.
And all of this was prepared for the secret conversation that day in the Chinese army's tent.
Zhu Huaimin stood up and walked out of the bed, casually picked up a piece of brocade clothing and put it on himself.
Then it’s easy to pace back and forth in the master bedroom.
Obviously, Zhu Huaimin was particularly uneasy deep down at this moment.
I do not know how long it has been.
Zhu Huaimin slowly sat on the edge of the nanmu bed.
The words and deeds of both parties during the secret conversation with Xu Yi that day in the Chinese army's tent kept popping up in his mind.
After a while.
Zhu Huaimin's vision gradually became clearer.
He murmured in a low voice: "With his status, he will never be careless about this matter."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Huaimin stood up and walked out of the master bedroom.
He passed the two sleeping servants at the door and walked straight towards the outside of Yiyang Courtyard.
"Look for the third, fourth, seventh and Zongting to come and see me."
Zhu Huaimin walked out of Yiyang Courtyard, stood in front of a group of patrolling servants, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
After finishing his words, Zhu Huaimin turned around and walked into Yiyang Courtyard again.
In the courtyard, more than ten servants were sleeping in various corners.
Zhu Huaimin gave a wry smile, and then walked into the study with an oil lamp.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Zhu Guangren and other brothers from the Zhu family and their eldest grandson Zhu Zongting arrived outside Yiyang Hospital at the same time.
"Where are the servants in the old man's courtyard?" Zhu Guangren opened the courtyard door and saw that the Yiyang courtyard was empty, and he couldn't help but wonder.
….
As the largest aristocratic family in Shanggu County, the Zhu family has nearly a thousand servants, not to mention servants and maids.
Yiyang Courtyard is the residence of the old man of the Zhu family, and it is the most important place in the Zhu family. When has it ever been so deserted?
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Zhu family felt bad.
"father!"
"grandfather!"
The expressions of everyone in the Zhu family changed and they quickly rushed towards Yiyang courtyard.
After seeing the servants lying scattered in the corner of the courtyard.
The expressions of everyone in the Zhu family changed again.
"Zongting, go call someone! Let's go to the old man's bedroom quickly."
Zhu Guangren ignored the discomfort caused by the cold sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead dripping into his eyes, and hurriedly gave instructions.
Don't wait for Zhu Zongting to agree.
Zhu Huaimin walked out of the study carrying an oil lamp.
"What's the point of yelling?"
"Why don't you come here quickly?"
The appearance of Zhu Huaiming undoubtedly made everyone in the Zhu family feel relieved.
"Dad, what is this?"
"Grandpa, what is this?"
Everyone in the Zhu family calmed down for a moment, and then asked hurriedly.
Zhu Huaimin looked at the few people and said calmly: "A friend is here, and the courtyard needs to be quiet."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Huaimin
Without further words, he turned around and walked into the study with the oil lamp in hand.
'A friend is coming? , everyone in the Zhu family looked at each other and murmured in a low voice.
Then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
The emperor who came out of Zongzheng Temple through the ages.
