- Tong remembers that before the two Praetorian guards jumped on the roof for the second time, they had a conversation, and that it was too exhausting to slap the thieves to paralyze the thieves' suicide moves, so they had to switch to feeding medicine.

It's just that Ah Tong is puzzled and surprised that if the thief wants to bite the poisonous fangs embedded in his mouth, or bite off the root of his tongue directly, he may only need to open and close his mouth in an instant. But what is it that can have a rapid effect beyond this speed?

However, although Ah Tong was shocked, this kind of love did not last long, because he quickly realized that these two internal guard masters were from the palace and the emperor's guards, and the emperor would only take these two people with him when he left the palace, so of course the resources they could use were of the best in the world.

In addition to the drug, which seems to attack faster than snake venom, the best resources in this world also include the ordinary-looking small wooden box that contains some treachery.

Ah Tong's gaze finally fell on the silk thread that bound the six people, which was pulled out of a small box by the two guards of the Forbidden Palace. If it weren't for the boxy shape, with their method of pulling silk, it would be as if the box was a silkworm cocoon, and the filaments could be taken inexhaustibly.

And look at the filament carefully, although in the darkness of the corner, the filament is extremely thin and not easy to be caught by the naked eye, but as the thieves struggled and shook the thread in a chaotic mental confusion, there were a few moments for Ah Tong to see the faint light reflected by the filament like a spider web after the rain.

Ah Tong was a little worried, such a filament might be broken by the strength of six people, but when he saw that the silk string seemed to be getting tighter and tighter with the struggle of several thieves, and the silk string in several places had been cut through the cloth of the thief's clothes like a very thin sword blade because it was too tight, oozing blood. Ah Tong seemed to understand something, so he didn't have the heart to ask more.

With the special material of this silk string, it is not said that it is broken, if it is not twisted with metal objects, there is a possibility of breaking, if this silk is directly wrapped around the human body, and then so brute force to earn, the string will not break. but the hands and feet of men shall be plucked out of their bones.

Just when Ah Tong was stunned and pondered in his heart. He listened to the two master guards speak again.

Thirteen still said to Fourteen in a consultative tone: "If we wait for six or eight, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to clean up." If you can't clean it up, you can only destroy it directly. Isn't it time for us to get daggers later? ”

"It's almost." Fourteen glanced in the direction of the interior on the first floor of the teahouse, then his gaze fell back to Thirteen's face, and said with a calm expression: "Six people should be able to ask something, and those who come again can clean up." If you can't clean it up, you can only scrap it. ”

Thirteen nodded, and then the two of them lifted the hem of their clothes. Two daggers were pulled out from the reverse side of the cloth, which seemed to be sewn with pieces of broken iron, one in each hand.

When Ah Ping and Ah Tong saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other: it turned out that there was always a faint sound of blunt armor hitting when these two people walked, and it was for this reason! Obviously, the clothes they were wearing were not as ordinary as the coarse cotton cloth they saw on the surface. Most likely, it was a piece of cotton and iron, which was the assembly of the guards around the emperor.

After a moment's pause, Ah Ping suddenly thought of something. He immediately said, "Thirteen brothers, don't forget that there are me and Ah Tong downstairs." Although our brothers' kung fu is a little weaker than the two of you, it's enough to help, right? ”

Hearing this, Thirteen looked at Ah Ping sideways, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and then turned his head to look at his partner Fourteen and said, "I was almost negligent, these thieves saw that the roof of the house didn't work, and it was impossible to do something under the house." ”

Regarding the concerns of the thirteen places, Fourteen just chuckled and said, "These thieves, as long as they don't come out of the ground, it won't be difficult for us to destroy them. ”

Hearing him say this, Thirteen followed and glanced towards the ground. There are several good places for self-cultivation in the Hengtai Pavilion block, which are built near the water, and most of them are paved with wooden floors, but there is the possibility of such underground Tibetans. However, although the name of this Yutong teahouse is vaguely related to water, it is a real welded ground construction, and this hidden danger naturally cannot exist.

After thinking for a moment, Thirteen said again: "If there is another thief on the roof later, it is better for us to leave one person below, how about it?" ”

Fourteen didn't have time to think before he said, "You stay down, I'll go up." ”

Thirteen immediately shook his head and only said, "I'll take Ah Ping up, and you stay." ”

In fact, when he said that mention yì just now, he had already made this plan in his heart.

Fourteen didn't refute, but just looked sideways at Ah Ping, and saw that Ah Ping's eyes were showing a look of eagerness. Staring at him as if considering something, Fourteen was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you have a weapon with you?" ”

Ah Ping vaguely felt that if he said that if he didn't bring it, he might lose his qualification to participate in the war, but even so, he replied truthfully: "No." Under the Kyoto Iron Restriction Order, we at the Hakumen Martial Arts Hall even use wooden tools for daily practice. He paused slightly, and then added: "But the wooden tools used in the white door practice are all made according to the weight of the iron tools, so it does not affect the retraction of the punches and feet. ”

Fourteen nodded in understanding, and then his gaze shifted slightly, looking at Ah Tong beside Ah Ping, and threw the two daggers in his hand over.

Ah Tong took the dagger in his hand, but there was a trace of doubt on his face. When he saw Fourteen and Ah Ping discussing, he originally thought that he would take a fancy to Ah Ping, but he never expected that the situation would take such a sharp turn.

Almost at the same time that Fourteen gave one of the double daggers he carried to Ah Tong, Thirteen also assigned one of his daggers to Ah Ping, and the two groups seemed to be matched like this. For the thirteenth Jianyì, when the environment allows, the fourteenth will rarely make arguments or objections, and the two of them will each accommodate and cooperate with each other in two types of things, so as to achieve a tacit understanding, which is also the reason why Wang Chi chooses to take them with him every time Jian Cong leaves the palace.

However, when the four people outside the house had already assigned their tasks, they were waiting for the arrival of the third group of thieves. But there was no abnormal sound on the roof or under the eaves. It was very quiet, and the two hosts in the room seemed to continue talking.

Ruan Luo finally sat back in his chair, and did not say anything like "please return to the palace" to Wang Chi in an eager tone, not because the four people on the roof were captured by two guards in the forbidden palace - Ruan Luo did not believe that the six people were all the bargaining chips that some murderer behind the scenes was going to put out to assassinate the emperor today - he calmed down a little, because what Wang Chi said next confirmed one thing, and seemed to show that his scruples were superfluous.

"Do you remember the wonton restaurant in a densely populated area you just visited? Maybe from the moment you took out the gold leaf at a singer just now, it was destined that our trip today would not be too lonely. After a pause. Wang Chi then said, "Your mind is too tense. It's not good, relax. You may not even notice why there is such a fierce fight on the rooftop. The tile was shattered, making such a big noise, but the teahouse was still quiet as usual? ”

Hearing the meaning of "expected early" in Wang Chi's words, Ruan Luo thought that of course he would also "prepare early". So the mind is also a little relaxed. However, when he listened to Wang Chi's words and said the last sentence, he couldn't help but feel suffocated. Lost his voice: "Could it be that there is also ...... in the teahouse?"

Ruan Luo's worries and doubts are of course possible, but Wang Chi at this time did not think so. The two of them diverged in the direction of their thinking, which seemed to be the reason why their casual conversation today was often abruptly interrupted.

"Luo'er, have you ever heard of a saying? in Kyoto. The safest place is the Imperial Palace, followed by the Hengtai Pavilion block. Wang Chi said leisurely. This statement is not an excuse to deceive those nobles who visit Beijing, but a fact. It's just strictly speaking. Probably the most heavily defended place in Kyoto, the Hengtaikan neighborhood is in second place after the Imperial Palace, and it can't be measured by the word security, because there is no place that a professional killer who wants to study can't go. This is tantamount to saying that there is no place that can be described as absolutely safe. ”

After saying this, Wang Chi remembered what happened in the palace a few days ago. The Forbidden Palace, which was guarded with such strict details, and because he started the affairs in Wolf Tooth City that day, he sent additional guards to the Forbidden Palace, but he didn't expect to be spied in by several killers and injured his son, who was already weak.

This annoyed him, and for the first time that night, he questioned his guards, but it haunted him for a night. After daybreak, he regained his confidence, and in the last few days, he had not slackened his search operations in the city. Although the five groups moved from the black walled city to the outside, all their movements remained absolutely secretive, so that even to the local residents of Kyoto, the imperial city remained as calm and peaceful as usual.

Of course, Ruan Luo didn't know what happened in the Wolf's Tooth Siege a few days ago, and what happened in the palace.

Although the assassination and injury of the prince is not equivalent to the impact of this evil incident on the emperor, this kind of thing is still easy to arouse suspicion, and indirectly creates some unstable factors for the living atmosphere of the imperial city, so of course this matter was ordered by the emperor to be sealed on the night of the incident.

And without these things that should have been known for a long time, now I suddenly saw several killers jumping out one after another to assassinate, and then I don't know how many assassins will pop up, but the target of these assassins can still sit calmly, how can Ruan Luo, who is sitting opposite him, not be in a hurry?

Although Ruan Luo had understood Wang Chi's reason and reliance on not leaving at this moment, he still couldn't hold back and stood up and reiterated his will to him for the third time. He waved his hands and bowed, and said word by word: "Your Majesty!" Please go back to the palace! ”

Noticing that Ruan Luo's title for himself had suddenly changed, Wang Chi raised his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat stiff voice: "Do you think that if I choose to come this step today, there will be room for retreat?" ”

When Wang Chi's words said the last word, Ruan Luo raised his slightly lowered head, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't say a word again on the surface, and asked two words silently in his heart: Choice?

"Maybe I should have dropped you down halfway through." Wang Chi sighed softly, "This is my mistake." ”

Ruan Luo still didn't say anything, although he felt a trace of Wang Chi's disappointment in him, he didn't think that he could persuade Wang Chi to keep him from being disappointed. He wanted to tell the king that as a monarch, he didn't just love his life because he was afraid of death. Rather, the safety of the monarch is related to the stability of the entire government and the opposition, and this kind of matter should be treated cautiously and strictly by nature.

It may be too late to retreat now, but if the group of Assassins gathers one after another and forms a siege, then it will be dangerous to leave.

Why didn't the emperor go? Because he has enough counterattack power around here? Ruan Luo didn't have this kind of waiting and watching from the sidelines, and his mood at this time may have some kind of similarity to those assassins. That is, there is only one emperor. There is no resurrection from the dead. Even if the Imperial Court guards who are ready to kill all the assassins in the vicinity in the end, as long as one of the Shining Gods loses His Majesty, then today's matter is for his side. Still a big irretrievable failure.

Just when Ruan Luo was slightly distracted, struggling to see if his thoughts could be spoken directly to the already annoyed king in front of him, he heard Wang Chi ask slowly, "Do you know that if the person sitting with me here today is Ruan Chenggang. What will happen to him? ”

Suddenly hearing Wang Chi mention his father, who had passed away for many years, Ruan Luo couldn't help but twitch his shoulders. But he didn't know how to answer. This was a question that he couldn't answer, when Ruan Chenggang died of the plague, Ruan Luo barely passed the age of five, what was his father like. His memory was fading, not to mention his impression of his father's temperament and personality.

Wang Chihui suddenly asked this question, but he didn't expect him to really answer anything. It was just to gather his attention, but he didn't expect him to be silent for a moment. actually replied: "The younger generation doesn't know what the late father will do, but the younger generation knows that if the late father is in today's environment, he will definitely worry about your safety at the first time." ”

Although Ruan Luo said the rules and regulations, his tone was very earnest, but Wang Chi seemed to be immersed in some kind of reminiscence at this time, and did not pay attention to Ruan Luo's words, but said again: "If Brother Chenggang is here, he may be surprised for a while, and then ask me, how many people have you brought?" How far away is your shadow guard? Did the guards inform you? Anyway, that's the question, and when that's done, he'll probably choose to join me in watching the scenery, and one after another black-clad and black-clothed and masked assassins pop out like fleas, only to be knocked down and kicked to the ground by the guards who jumped out of nowhere. ”

Wang Chi's face suddenly had a smile drifting through, as if remembering something that made him feel very interesting, he glanced around the environment on the first floor of the teahouse, and then continued: "Brother Chenggang will probably feel that this place is too closed, and he needs to find a higher location to see the whole picture of this good show." ”

Somehow, Ruan Luo suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sluggish.

Wang Chi's heart drifted away, and when he said those words, it was as if he really saw Ruan Chenggang sitting opposite him, asked him those questions, and then invited him to change places to "watch the play".

And at this moment, Ruan Luo's thoughts about his father suddenly hit him like a tide.

It is only when people encounter heavy setbacks and are in difficult situations that they think of their loved ones who should be their closest relatives, but who are far away. But after so many years of living alone, Ruan Luo has learned to take on the affairs around him, and such a vulnerable side has long been hidden by him.

The box containing the helplessness and grief of his youth, he had not opened it for a long time. No one around him mentioned his long-dead father to him, and coupled with his usual busy affairs, it was naturally not easy to remember. However, once I remember it again, this loneliness, this sadness, it is as if a current of air that has been suppressed for too long has finally found a break, and it is difficult to control the agitation.

If his father was here, would he really do what Wang Chi said?

If my father would have chosen to do this, he would probably have chosen to follow, right?

Just when Ruan Luo was stunned, he heard Wang Chi say, "You sit down." He didn't hesitate to hesitate any longer, and sat down as he said.

"You probably don't know that more than ten years ago, Ruan Chenggang could have avoided dying." Wang Chi continued to speak, and he sighed deeply, "When the Wang family's army attacked Kyoto from the north to the south, the army was divided into three groups. Lin Shan's group went first, and the number of people was also the smallest, mainly to find out the news of the road ahead. My group has the most people, and you can see why you can see why. The third group was Nguyen Cheng Gang, who started almost at the same time as me, but he was a little slower because he was responsible for carrying heavy siege vehicles.

Lin Shan's group is groping its way forward. But the whole journey was quite smooth, at most there was no danger. My group was not far behind him, and I didn't encounter any major obstacles. Only Brother Chenggang's group walked at the end, and no one answered, because the load was heavy, and it was gradually far away from my team in front. That's why I'm most afraid of problems. But unfortunately there was an accident.

The path he was going to take had been explored by Lin Shan's group. For the passage of heavy siege vehicles, speed is required. It is necessary to ensure that the road conditions are stable, and we are not afraid of the obstruction of small forces. Of course, there was no problem with the road prepared by Lin Shan's group for Brother Chenggang's group, although it was within the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army, but at that time, the Sichuan Army had naturally disbanded.

Imagine. Passing on such a path should be the smoothest. But there are some things that cannot be controlled by human brainpower, such as natural disasters. The Sichuan region has always been poor, and bandits are rampant. In that year, there was another war, and people's livelihood was even worse. The people there had no food to eat, except for grass roots and bark. Even the bats in the caves in the mountains and the rats in the fields were caught and eaten. Many were poorly clothed and starved to death on the side of the road. Not to mention that there was something to wrap and bury, and as soon as a few heavy rains poured out, the plague broke out. ”

These things that Wang Chi said are really some years ago, and Ruan Luo was only four or five years old that year, except for mentioning the word "plague" that killed his father and almost killed him, he still can't help but feel a little chilled, but he has forgotten a lot about the events of that year, that is, he remembers the piles of corpses waiting to be burned most clearly.

The corpses of those infected with the plague should not be buried, otherwise the plague will spread out of the soil and kill more people, so the plague can only be burned to eliminate the plague. Ruan Luo remembered that when the hill of sick corpses stacked in the pyre was burning, the shape of the gray smoke rising into the sky was always twisted and could not be stretched out smoothly. The sound of burning is not as crisp as that of Chai He, and it is impossible to tell who is who in the end, and it is twisted into a pile of mixed white ash.

At that time, his father already had signs of coughing and fever, and he didn't care that he ran out of the tent to see the pictures.

Thinking about it now, he can only sigh deeply like Wang Chi.

Perhaps it was because the bruises caused by the past, whether it was for his best friends or for the people of Nanzhao, were too heavy, and Wang Chi couldn't help but take a deep breath again halfway through this story, and then he restrained his slightly fluctuating mood and continued in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Actually, he could have bypassed that area and changed the city and county, which would only take him five more days, but he still chose to move forward according to the time plan we set at the beginning......

In fact, it doesn't matter if the time is delayed for five days, Lin Shan's side was a day late and knew that he was blocked by the plague on his side, thinking that he would make a detour, and the arrival time would inevitably be delayed, so Lin Shan's side had already done another remedy, and he also took the risk, disguised himself as Jane Cong and entered Kyoto, and instigated several officials as internal responses......

Later we learned that the last monarch of the former Zhou court was not so strong; In addition to the Zhongzhou Army, the army of the previous dynasty still had some strength to hold on, and the other two had already succeeded or failed; The government and the opposition of the previous dynasty moved the capital in a hurry, and most of the people's hearts had already moved, perhaps instigated from the inside, which was more effective than those heavy weapons built for siege.

But...... Brother Chenggang wanted to keep his promise, but he fell into it. He knew that there was a poisonous mist floating in front of the road, but he still had to move forward, would anyone think he was stupid to do so afterwards? But that's his character, if you can't avoid it, then go straight to deal with it. He used to say that the closest distance between two places is to take a straight route.

No one had the divine power to predict the future development of things, and if Kyoto in the previous dynasty was as strong as the castle tower of the Northern Goose, then Brother Chenggang's choice at that time played a decisive role. Although those heavy weapons were not used much in the end, it is undeniable that Brother Chenggang's choice was correct or not. He deserves to be my advisor and my confidant, he not only has wisdom, but also courage! ”

Ruan Luo finally believed it, and he believed in a somewhat depressed mood what Wang Chi said about his father's choice that had been dead for many years.

He believed that if his father was sitting at the table at this time, he would definitely ask Wang Chi the questions he had just mentioned, and then choose Wang Chi's choice.

But before he also made a choice, he still had to borrow his father's meaning to ask Wang Chi a few questions.

"Uncle...", as his mind returned to calm. Ruan Luo's title to Wang Chi was also restored, "Can you tell the juniors, how many people did you actually bring with you when you came out this time?" ”

"Just the two outside the door. But if you count the two you carry, you have to count as four. As Wang Chi spoke, his hand, which was originally casually covering the edge of the table, was raised, and his index and middle fingers were stretched out in the air. Soon put his hand back on the edge of the table. A smile reappeared on his face, "You won't mind if you borrow someone from you temporarily, right?" ”

realized that Ruan Luo's mentality was finally twisted by himself in a direction that he was happy to see. Wang Chi's mood is obviously a lot better. At this time, Ruan Luo's words and tone had the momentum of imitating his deceased father, which was exactly what Wang Chi was happy to see.

But Ruan Luo was completely relaxed at the moment, but he knew that he needed to be calm, because just now. He decided to move closer to the back of his long-dead father.

There was a speechless expression on his face, after a few moments. Ruan Luocai said: "You're not joking now, are you? ”

"Have you forgotten what happened at the gate?" Wang Chi's tone of speech was still leisurely, "I obviously don't have the talent to joke anymore." ”

"You're kidding too scary." Ruan Luo looked sideways at the door, his face a little worried. But he didn't say anything to persuade Wang Chi to leave like he did just now, and after thinking about it for a while. He asked again: "Then your shadow guard ......?"

Before he could finish asking, Wang Chi smiled and said, "My shadow guard is now the commander of the Kyoto garrison and the commander of the palace guards. ”

Ruan Luo's mind quickly popped up with the name and appearance of a person, although this person's martial arts were high. But it has been remembered by too many people, of course, it can't be a shadow guard who escapes.

Wang Chi's answer really made people feel frightened. If it weren't for Ruan Luo's mentality being influenced by his father's back at this time, he would probably have stood up from his chair immediately after receiving Wang Chi's heart-wrenching answer, and persuaded Wang Chi to leave for the fourth time.

Gritting his teeth, Ruan Luo asked again, "Then do your guards know about your coming here today?" ”

Wang Chi looked at Ruan Luo, who was forced to calm down, and really wanted to say to him: He only came here suddenly, so of course the guards would not know. But this sentence only came to his lips, and he finally pressed it down. He didn't continue to tease Ruan Luo anymore, he was really afraid of teasing again, this kid's heart that had finally sunk was stirred up again, and the sentence after sentence of "Please go back to the palace" was very annoying!

After breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Chi said slowly: "Why do you need to bring any entourage, enter the Hengtai Pavilion block, and the guard force here can be used by me." As for my shadow guard, when your entourage went to Yunxia Qianzhuang to get the money, my whereabouts probably spread, but I don't know if it will be someone from Kyoto Prefecture or someone from the Praetorian Guard who will come here later. ”

"When you take the silver...... Ruan Luo was surprised, "how is this possible?" ”

"It's not strange, but you can't blame that entourage of yours, he probably didn't say anything." Wang Chi smiled and signaled that Ruan Luo didn't need to be so nervous, let alone blame the carelessness of his entourage, and he continued: "Do you believe it or not, just with the piece of paper you issued, don't say that 30,000 taels of gold, even 3,000 taels of gold have to be taken out from Yunxia Qianzhuang, it is enough." And although Yunxia Qianzhuang returned your big ticket of 20,000 taels of gold, but finally lent 10,000 taels, they will do this, not only because they give you face, but also because they will give me face. ”

The face of the king of a country is worth 10,000 taels of gold? That's too cheap, right? Ruan Luo didn't believe it very much, but he was very puzzled: How could Yunxia Qianzhuang determine that His Majesty was by his side based on a large ticket signed and stamped by him?

Wang Chi saw Ruan Luo's doubts, and answered for him without waiting for him to ask: "Thirteen also followed your entourage just now, Yunxia Qianzhuang is the property of Marquis Wei Yunhuai in northern Jin, and the person he put there to manage things will also have some eyesight, and it is not difficult to recognize the guards I always bring with me." What's more, in order to let the big ticket you sign be exchanged for more gold, I specially told Thirteen to deliberately reveal some news. ”

Ruan Luo's face showed a sudden expression, but it was soon filled with new suspicions, and he asked puzzledly, "Why are you doing this?" Just to get some more gold? You don't really want to wear it out, so what's the purpose of tossing it back and forth? ”

Wang Chi pretended to ask mysteriously: "What do you think?" ”

Ruan Luo thought seriously for a moment, and a somewhat cold thought suddenly rushed into his mind, causing his eyes to widen slightly, but his voice was much lower when he spoke: "You have left the palace in plain clothes, and you have only left some traces in Yunxia Qianzhuang very vaguely through the mouth of others. But the first to come to the Hengtai Pavilion block was a group of killers, so ......"

"No, no," Wang Chi said two words in a row, slowly shook his head and said: "You think of Wei Yunhuai boldly, Wei Hou is just more insatiable, and he is not a business material, but he still has a clear grasp of the overall situation." If I have something missing. Therefore, the country changed hands. He won't be able to be the relaxed Hou Ye of Jindu. Then, he wanted to swallow an extra 10% of the agricultural tax revenue, without my intervention. It was even more of a dream. ”

"Then ......" Ruan Luo's complicated thoughts in his heart were a little uncertain.

At this moment, Wang Chi picked a new word and asked, "Do you remember the two singing artists you met in that wonton restaurant just now?" ”

Ruan Luo nodded, remembered something again, and said slowly: "You just said it." From the time the junior presented a gold leaf to the artist, our trip would not be peaceful. Why is that? If this qiē that happened today is because of the junior's presumptuousness for a while, the juniors really don't know how to atone for their sins! However, since you have been aware of it since then, uncle, why did you go around here? And deliberately leaking his whereabouts? ”

"You haven't been involved in martial arts, so I'm afraid you don't know the people who entered the store just now. They all have martial arts, including the woodcutter who left halfway. I'm afraid they're not in the store. I already remembered my face. Wang Chi smiled when he said this, and then continued: "As for the girl who sang, although the tune she sang was familiar, I did get distracted for a while, and I couldn't help but think of Ziqing's singing before his death...... But the girl who sang did not sing very well, not as wanton and chic as Ziqing. I left the singer with the intention of temptation, for although she looked pitiful, she was not as terrible as the old man he carried. ”

Ruan Luo carefully sorted out the twists and turns in Wang Chi's words, and then said with some distraction: "The juniors really can't see what's wrong with those people, and the juniors just thought that you really wanted to listen to the music. But you said that the old man with whom the singing girl was carrying was terrible, and the younger generation seemed to be blind when he looked at him. ”

"They're ready to come, and of course anything can be dressed up." Wang Chi said far-fetched, and he didn't plan to talk about this matter to Ruan Luo. After a little silence, he smiled again as if he had gained something, rubbed the wide jade wrench on his thumb with his left index finger, and said slowly: "Wei Hou will come to Kyoto in a few days, whether this matter today is his thought or not, how can he say that he can spit out a large part of the swallowed public property, I just happen to be useful, and when he just guards the treasury of the capital for me for a few years." I only hope that the Yunxia Money Village he runs will not lose so much, and if he doesn't come out at that time, he will have to pay it back by prison. ”

Ruan Luo couldn't help but tremble lightly when he heard this, and the topic unconsciously returned to Yunxia Qianzhuang, involving the emperor's brother-in-law. It was a sensitive topic again, and he didn't want to say anything about it.

But slowly, Wang Chi brought this topic to him, looked at him and said slowly: "You pull out part of the real property placed on the account of Yunxia Qianzhuang, and then fill in the false property as a cover-up, so as not to make you embarrassed afterwards." ”

Ruan Luo finally couldn't help it, and asked in a tone similar to that of a prompt: "Didn't you just say that the matter of investigating the Marquis of Jin Bei is still just a thought in your heart?" Do you really want to check? ”

"I also want to give him a chance to make up for his repentance, just look at his appearance in Beijing this time. If he complied, the matter would be easy on my side. Wang Chi didn't go on to say what he would do if the Marquis of Jin Bei didn't obey, and this topic was about to end here. At the end, he added: "The way things have been done, of course, it is not a strict and thorough investigation." ”

"Uncle's advice, the juniors have written it down, and they will make proper arrangements when they go back today." Ruan Luo lowered his eyes slightly, this kind of sensitive topic involving the emperor's family affairs, of course, the sooner it ends, the better.

Wang Chi suddenly sighed and said slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that the Qingchuan War was about to start and the military consumption was huge, but I was aware of the abnormality of Jindu's taxation during this critical day, I might have been a long time late to look at Jindu's accounts." Or even if I want to investigate the Beihou of Jin, I will do more planning and will not do things in such a hurry. Maybe I'll really check it, will this matter today really be more than just a thought that the Marquis of Jin Bei has moved. ”――

(To be continued)
