"Sir Zhang, I took over the case privately without asking your permission, which is really an act of arrogance. It was just that the situation was helpless at the time. Can you please forgive me?"
Shao Xi sees that Zhang Yuzheng has come forward now, which means that the "Jingcheng Division" has officially taken over the case. Now that even the Holy One has personally intervened, it seems that it is no longer possible to investigate.
Zhang Yuzheng waved for others to enter Dali Temple first. Instead, he pulled Shao Xi aside, took out a small volume of silk book from his sleeve and handed it to Shao Xi.
"This is the edict from the Holy One. Before I come, the Holy One ordered me to personally deliver it into your hands. With this edict, the sixteen guards in Daliang City, Kyoto are at your disposal. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be punished with the same crime." You are deceiving the emperor. I never thought that the Holy One would value you so much. Your future achievements will definitely be higher than those of your father!"
"Isn't it? The Sixteenth Guards of Kyoto are also at my disposal. Doesn't that mean that the command of the Royal Imperial Army is also in my hands? Your Majesty does not trust me. Your Majesty is putting me on the fire!"
On the surface, it seems that this edict gave Shao Xi the power to mobilize all troops and horses in Daliang City, Kyoto. It can be said that he has great power. Even the left and right prime ministers have no right to interfere with his dispatching of left and right Xiaowei and left and right military guards. Kyoto soldiers The horse is under his control.
But in fact, the more this is the case, the more people will envy you, which means you will offend a lot of people. Many dignitaries in the DPRK may greet Shao Xi with a smile on the surface, but secretly they will use all their resources and try their best to put him to death.
The greater the power in your hands, the more you stand on the cusp of the storm. Just as the trees stand tall in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
From now on, Shao Xi can't make mistakes. Even if he makes a small mistake, he will be caught and magnified infinitely to seize the power in his hands and even kill him.
Zhang Yuzheng actually had the same idea in his heart when he heard Shao Xi's words. However, everything has to be done by someone, and some burdens have to be handed over to capable people. It is inevitable to bear these pressures in the process.
"My dear nephew, your father Feng Changlin and I have been friends for many years. Your father relied heavily on the Holy Spirit back then and had to face no less pressure than you do today. Although you have to conceal your identity now, sooner or later you will After all, you have to seek justice for your father and the entire Feng family. If you don't have enough power in your hands before that, you won't be able to accomplish these things, so these are all things you have to face. .”
"What uncle said is absolutely true. It's just that this junior is still too young. Facing the turmoil in this court, I'm afraid he may be a little unable to do what he wants. I ask Uncle Zhang to give me some advice and care in the future."
Zhang Yuzheng admired Shao Xi very much through recent events. This young man was both civil and military and had outstanding abilities. It was natural for him to be appreciated by the Holy Emperor.
What's more, since he is the son of an old friend, it is his duty to care for and give advice to him. If this son makes a difference in the court in the future, he will also remember his current help, and he will stand firmer in the court.
Mutual support and help in the officialdom are actually conditional, and everyone will give priority to their own interests.
It is considered a righteous act for someone to help if it is in their own interests. Most people are thinking about how to protect themselves and go with the flow. Although it is said that forming cliques is the most taboo for being an official in the court, in fact, if you have no power to rely on in the court, it is simply impossible to be alone.
Zhang Yuzheng is now working so hard to help Shao Xi. In addition to thinking that he and Feng Changlin are old friends, he is actually thinking more about using the hands of the Holy Spirit to help build a new powerful person in the court who suits his own interests. As a person to rely on in the future, he will not be rounded up and squashed by others one day after he loses power.
In Zhang Yuzheng's eyes, Shao Xi is a smart man, just like his father back then. He should be someone who knows how to repay kindness and kindness. Supporting such people to the pinnacle of power will only be good for you, not harmful.
Zhang Yuzheng took Shao Xi's hand, showing his closeness.
"My dear nephew, just do what you want to do with confidence and boldness. If there is any trouble in the court, my uncle will take care of it for you. Even if there are things that my uncle is unable to do, he will do his best to help you in front of the Holy Master. Speak. The matter between your father and your Feng family has always been a knot in my heart. My uncle is willing to help my nephew seek justice for your father and the Feng family, which will also help me untie this knot in my heart."
Although Shao Xi understands in his heart that there is no free lunch in this world, and the so-called help is just to lay the foundation for future exchange of interests, but in this intrigue and intrigue in the court, it is very valuable for someone to stand up and speak for himself. After all, in In this unprofitable environment, no one is qualified to accept help from others in vain.
Shao Xi bowed to Zhang Yuzheng and said, "My nephew will live up to my uncle's expectations. If I can really seek justice for my father and the Feng family in the future, my nephew will definitely repay my uncle for his help today."
Zhang Yuzheng was very satisfied with Shao Xi's answer. This was exactly the result he wanted.
Back then, he and Feng Changlin jointly controlled the "Jingcheng Division", which could be said to have great power. But after Feng Changlin passed away, he still felt powerless and unable to support himself.
Now, Feng Changlin's son has been appreciated and promoted by the Holy Emperor. He should help him and cultivate a strong helper for himself, hoping that they can work together to help each other and gain a foothold in the court in the future.
"It doesn't matter whether you return or not. As long as your career is smooth, nephew, I will naturally be happy as an uncle. In the future, you and I will be just like your father and I, walking hand in hand in the court and working together for Your Majesty shares your worries and resolves difficulties, this is also the duty that you and I should fulfill as ministers."
In fact, both Shao Xi and Zhang Yuzheng understood that these were just beautiful words on the surface. They both understood the deep meaning in their hearts, but there were some things that they could only keep in their hearts but could not express them with their mouths.
Now that Shao Xi has the heavy troops in Kyoto, the emperor has put his life in his hands. Another meaning is that it allows him to investigate with confidence and boldness. If someone from the royal family is really involved in rebellion, he can deal with it first and then report it to avoid being hindered by others.
I believe that Xiao Changyi has already found out some clues about the glass bead. He can also find out what Shao Xi can find out. Maybe he already knows what Shao Xi can't find out so far, but it's just because of his identity and the royal face that he can't do it in person. Public inquiry.
The two of them had almost finished talking in private, so they walked into Dali Temple together.
Shao Xi can participate in the next interrogation of Wuriyeti if he wants to. If he doesn't want to participate and wait for the results of the interrogation, what he has to do is to plan, and the specific affairs will naturally be done by the people below.
As soon as they entered the door, Long Qitai rushed over to greet them. Zhang Yuzheng knew that Long Qitai had something to discuss privately with Shao Xi, so he wisely went to the execution room to hear the trial.
Long Qitai mysteriously pulled Shao Xi into a room, which made Shao Xi wonder, why do these people like to pull him aside to talk secretly today?
Long Qitai said to Shao Xi with excitement on his face: "Brother, look what treasures my brother has found for you?"
When Shao Xi heard the word "baby", he immediately became interested. He likes baby the most!
Long Qitai put the cloth bag in his hand on the table, opened the bag and presented the contents in front of Shao Xi.
Shao Xi could tell at a glance that the things in the cloth bag were all found from Wu Riyeti's body, because the dozen or so flying knives were exactly the same as those that Wu Riyeti shot at him tonight, plus some with special features. The small objects in the style of the Western Regions are enough to prove that these things originally belonged to Wuriyeti.
The flying knives and some small things didn't look like anything special, but two things caught Shao Xi's attention.
One is a ring with a Western style and fine workmanship.
Shao Xi took the ring in his hand and looked at it carefully. He found that the ruby on the ring could be rotated, so he twisted it slightly, and then found a short needle tip exposed on the ring ring in the direction of the palm of his hand. , and then continue to twist the gems on the ring, and the thin needle on the ring ring will become longer and longer towards the palm of the hand.
It seems that this is the weapon used by Wuriyeti to kill the envoy of Baiye Kingdom.
The other item is a glove made of black silk of unknown material.
Shao Xi held it in his hand and observed it for a long time without seeing what kind of material it was made of. However, it was confirmed that this glove was invulnerable to water, fire, and invulnerable to weapons and bullets. It was similar to the "soft gold entanglement" on his body.
If he were wearing this glove, there would probably be very few magical weapons in the world that he would not dare to pick up with his hands. It is no wonder that Wu Riyeti dared to pick up the tip of the Liuyun Sword with his hands before. It turned out to be because of his body. There is such a treasure.
To be honest, these gloves really tempted Shao Xi. He raised his head and glanced at Long Qitai with a tentative look.
Long Qitai raised the corners of his mouth and raised his chin forward, which meant, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you put it away quickly?"
Shao Xi understood and stuffed the glove into his arms.
Then he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Brother Long has actually collected so many exhibits. Let's register them all! For the purpose of hearing this case."
Long Qitai asked knowingly: "Brothers, have you looked at these evidences carefully? Do you need to look at them more carefully?"
Shao Xi turned over these things again and finally confirmed: "That's pretty much it. This ring is the weapon he used to assassinate the envoy of Baiye Kingdom. Brother Long should keep it properly. There is nothing else. Leave it to his subordinates to register. Just sign it up."
"Come on! I'll be relieved once you've checked. I'll take these things away. Do you want to go over and take a look at the interrogation in the torture room?"
"Forget it! This kind of person will naturally say it when he needs to say it. Now he doesn't want to say it, and he won't say it even if you force him to. If you have time to torture him, you might as well check his background and look at his family. But if you have a wife, children, and a young child, as long as you find his weakness, he will tell you about it without even asking him."
"Brother, why do I feel that your methods are not like those of an official, but more like a robber who specializes in kidnapping?"
"It doesn't matter what method he uses, as long as it works."
