"I've met the second master!" The old servant saluted respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu." Xu Maocai bowed to the old servant.
"Second Master, you don't have to be polite. This is your subordinate's responsibility." Liu Bo said.
Xu Maocai naturally understood what Uncle Liu meant, but as a senior who watched them grow up, how could he really treat the other party as a slave?
Since the death of the old Duke, Xu Maofeng and Xu Maocai were set up, and important servants of the Xu Mansion began to disappear, which also created an illusion to the outside world.
The spring night was cool and the leaves were rustling in the mountains. A carriage continued on the road in a hurry. No one knew how many masters were hidden in the mountains.
…
Prime Minister's Mansion
This is a first bench.
A young and handsome young man sat in the middle. Of course there were people sitting next to him, but no one dared to sit down.
Qu Zhongyi sat at the bottom of the table. After he slowly closed the memorial, he stood up and bowed: "Second Prince, this retribution should be true... It's just that it's not easy for the prince to explain to minor officials."
The second prince put down his tea cup and glanced at Qu Zhongyi: "Father, you support me, and I have always supported your Qu family... Without me, how would Qu Huan have come into the Holy Family's sight? Could it be that... you just Don’t want to go any further?”
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your kindness. Please rest assured that I will take care of this matter." Qu Zhongyi bowed and clasped his fists, completely unable to see the cautious look he had just shown.
"Hmm... very good." The second prince smiled with satisfaction: "The Xu family only has the big house now, right?"
"Yes, good news will definitely come tonight." Qu Zhongyi replied.
"Clean it up, and pull out the two roots of Xu Maocai. My father doesn't like branches." The second prince stood up and said.
"Second Prince, please rest assured. As long as they dare to leave the capital, I will make them disappear!" Qu Zhongyi promised.
"Well, I'll thank you for your hard work!" After the second prince said this, he opened the folding fan in his hand and left the main hall gracefully.
Looking at the leaving second prince, Qu Zhongyi had a cunning look in his eyes.
At this moment, Qu Feng walked in from the side hall: "Father, are you really going to help him?"
"As a father, I am now the prime minister, the head of hundreds of officials! What is the next step?" Qu Zhongyi showed a meaningful smile: "Although the skill of following the dragon is good, you must also learn to be wise and protect yourself, and this is my official way as a father. …”
Qu Feng nodded: "Then how does father plan to deal with this matter? If you report it directly to the prince, I am afraid that the second prince will be dissatisfied, but..."
"Although the second prince is favored by the emperor, he is still the second prince now!" Qu Zhongyi closed the memorial and sighed: "Although the prince is not favored, he is the heir apparent, and he has the entire Li family behind him!"
Qu Zhongyi glanced at Qu Feng and showed a loving smile: "Your eldest brother is destined to enter the Holy Family. This position of prime minister will be yours from now on, so I will show you this imperial power."
"My dear, thank you very much for your father's cultivation. My dear, I will definitely live up to my father." Qu Feng said respectfully.
"Okay, we are not the royal family, there is no need to be like them." Qu Zhongyi shook his head and smiled: "Send someone to release some news, remember, the news must not be the same as the memorial, it must have something to do with this matter! "
"Yes, thank you father for teaching me. I'll do it now." Qu Feng bowed and left the main hall.
Not long after Qu Feng left, the old housekeeper hurried in.
"Why are you so panicked?" Qu Zhongyi asked angrily.
"Reporting to the master, Xu Fan is missing!" the old housekeeper replied.
"Huh?" Qu Zhongyi was puzzled: "How could a living person disappear? Didn't I ask you to send someone to keep an eye on him?"
"We sent people to keep an eye on him...but after following him he disappeared...and we searched the whole place but couldn't find this person..."
With a bang, the tea bowl was smashed directly by Qu Zhongyi.
"Trash, you are really a bunch of trash. With so many experts, you can still lose a living person!" Qu Zhongyi was furious: "What about the other one?"
"Xu Que is still in the capital, he is now in Baihua Building..." the old housekeeper replied while kneeling on the ground.
Hearing that Xu Que was still in the capital, Qu Zhongyi gradually lost his temper. He was afraid that the two bastards had disappeared.
"Send out more manpower. This time, no matter what, I will keep an eye on him. If he gets away again... you should stop being this housekeeper!"
"Yes, sir, I will dispatch some people now..."
And just when the old housekeeper was about to exit, a figure hurried into the main hall.
Qu Zhongyi's face improved a lot when he saw the person coming, but when he took a closer look at the person's face, he suddenly had a bad feeling!
"You go down and do some business first." Qu Zhongyi waved to the butler.
The old butler bowed slightly and then exited the main hall...
"Master Xiang is really in such a good mood!" the visitor said as he glanced at the broken tea cup on the ground.
"How did things go?" Qu Zhongyi didn't pay attention to what the other party said and simply got straight to the point.
"Lang Qing who was ambushing Shuangjiao Mountain is dead..." the middle-aged man said with a dull expression.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Qu Zhongyi was stunned and looked at him with incredulous eyes: "This Lang Qing is a strong artist in the artistic conception, while Xu Maocai is only in the transformation realm!"
"Judging from the traces of the battle, Lang Qing was indeed killed by Xu Maocai, but..." The middle-aged man took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms: "Have you seen this thing?"
Qu Zhongyi's eyes fell on the silk handkerchief. It was a thin thread like a hair. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to spot it!
"Thunder Cloud Thread!" Qu Zhongyi was shocked.
"Well, that's right. It seems that the group is not dead, but lurking." The middle-aged man put away his handkerchief.
When he heard that the group of people were not dead, Qu Zhongyi's eyes burst with anger. You know, this is what he is most worried about!
If those people are not dead... then the news about the person above...
When he thought of this, Qu Zhongyi trembled unconsciously, because this matter is of great importance, and if one person can't handle it... I'm afraid the entire situation of Dayan will change!
"How many people did you send?" Qu Zhongyi asked quickly.
"Seventy-six people in the realm of transformation and twelve people in the artistic realm!" the middle-aged man answered.
"Not enough!" Qu Zhongyi said, and took out a token from his sleeve robe: "Take this, and now go to Zuoying Division to dispatch a thousand cavalry. Remember, no one will be left behind after the job is done!"
The middle-aged man picked up the token in front of him. His expression was a little weird, because he didn't leave any of it... He was really cruel!
The middle-aged man asked hesitantly: "What about my Mingyue Tower?"
"Those who go don't need to come back alive!" Qu Zhongyi replied firmly.
The middle-aged man showed a painful expression. He didn't ask again, and there was no need to ask anymore, because the outcome of this matter was already determined!
Watching the middle-aged man leave, Qu Zhongyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Although he didn't want to do this, for the sake of the Qu family and his status, he had to eliminate some threats!
…
Capital City Zuoying Division Black Cavalry Camp
The formation of black cavalry and iron horses is like a picture of chilling.
Ou Daojiang was originally a sixth-grade tax collector, but he belonged to the prime minister, so no one would look down upon him.
"General Qian, this is the Prime Minister's token." Ou Daojiang held up the token and said, "Under the Prime Minister's order, we will kill the traitors who have caused chaos in the Xu family."
"The end will take over..."
Before General Qian was about to receive the token, he was interrupted by a loud shout in the distance: "This is the Black Cavalry Camp! Does Prime Minister Qu want to get over there?"
A veteran wearing black armor walked up to Black Cavalry. Although this man was old, he was very impressive. The man who came was none other than Ma Ning, the commander of the Zuoying Division!
"I've seen Ma Hou..." Ou Daojiang slightly cupped his hands, but his expression was not very good.
"You are a tax official, and you dare to do arrogant things with the Prime Minister's token. Do you want to be involved?" Ma Ning asked bluntly.
"Master Marquis, you are just following orders even though you hold a humble position. I hope Master Marquis understands!" Ou Daojiang replied unceremoniously.
"Hmph!" Ma Ning didn't even look at Ou Daojiang and shouted directly to the black knight: "Disband!"
Seeing that Ma Ning did not give the prime minister any face, Ou Daojiang immediately stepped forward and said, "Ma Ning, you are just a second-grade knight general, how dare you..."
"You literati, don't think that I am easy to bully because I am old! Why didn't you dare to run out before the old prince died?" Ma Ning turned to look at Ou Daojiang: "If you want to use me, you are not worthy! "
