Chapter 108: The Deadly Mandarin Duck
As soon as Li Song left Zuo Jin Wuwei's military camp, the official circles of the entire Eastern Capital spread.
The left-behind guard actually showed favor to Xu Yi, which really shocked his eyeballs. That's exactly what happened.
"Why did Li Song go to the barracks?"
Cui Sheng waited for Xu Yi in Xu Mansion for the first time, and went straight to the point as soon as he entered the door. In tone, it is worried, as for what is worried, it is another story.
"Uncle Weng, saying that it is a review of the barracks, it is actually equivalent to condolences. Sending some New Year's goods to the barracks is more alive than the New Year's goods at home. ”
"Didn't say anything?"
"Nope."
It is true that there is none, and there cannot be. Even if it is a gesture of goodwill, it is impossible to really say anything that asks for understanding.
"Boy, Li Song has a bad record in his life, bad conduct, and is used to going back on his word. Don't be fooled by two or three sentences, kid. ”
"Uncle, the boy understands. Let's first coax the obvious hostility of this time. The kid believed that with his uncle here, he would stay in the Eastern Capital for a short time. ”
"As long as he doesn't target the kid at the moment, the kid doesn't have the heart to fight with others, let alone have the qualifications and abilities."
I'm going to fight, I'm going to fight! The master doesn't make the gun.
Originally, when he targeted Li Zhen at the so-called celebration banquet, he relied on what Cui Sheng said earlier: Li Song can't spend the New Year in Dongdu.
The result? Instead, he let himself rush forward first, and finally became the head of the gun that stayed behind.
Five-rank generals and second-rank generals, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.
It was even more implicated in the 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 Wuhou. As a last resort, Xu Yicai played Laipi and used an almost scoundrel method to stay in the mansion.
The result? There was still a situation that I couldn't control.
Xu Yi was really a little scared, especially the atmosphere in the Eastern Capital during this time.
In such an environment, Li Song had good intentions, and Xu Yi accepted it without hesitation.
Although Xu Yi also knew that Li Song's overtures were only temporary. It was because of the death of the ferryman, or because of pressure from other quarters, that he had to temporarily put aside the grievances between the two sides.
However, for Xu Yi, as long as he is not put on the cusp. At the very least, we can take a break and see what is going on.
"Boy, the Cui family has been based since the Han Dynasty, cultivating and reading heirlooms, and all dynasties have never raised dead soldiers, but there are many clansmen who have been assassinated by dead soldiers."
"Even the Pei family and the Xiao family have the same attitude towards the dead as the Cui family. This is also the reason why the death case at the ferry port has caused a storm this time. ”
"No one knows how difficult it is to find out the case of the dead man, but it has to be taken seriously by the imperial court. This is an attitude, an attitude that must be demonstrated. ”
Cui Sheng's words really surprised Xu Yi.
A few meanings, is this to explain to yourself? Not really! As far as his so-called Xu family's catties and catties are concerned, Xu Yi still knows that he can't make the family care about it. Otherwise, he would not have kept a small part of the division of the ferry.
Or is it ······
I probably understand, this is to keep myself consistent with the three of them in the dead case. It's a warning.
Xu Yi was not ready to let go of the dead case, after all, he was also a bitter master. Besides, whoever loses his hand first at this time will be the most suspicious.
Xu Yi is not stupid.
"Uncle Weng, the kid is going to share the art of the case with the Yamen of the Criminal Division, and I order Wuhou to obey the dispatch of the Yamen of the Criminal Department and make every effort to investigate the case of the deceased!"
Xu Yi's attitude made Cui Sheng very satisfied.
The next day, Xu Yi personally went to the Yamen of the Criminal Department······ It's not to urge, it's to help.
At Xu Yi's suggestion, the Yamen of the Criminal Department began to focus on visiting the shores of Luoshui.
This is winter, approaching the end of the year, even the Cao Yun has stopped, whether it is Luoshui or Caoqu, there are few ships on the water.
Judging from the storage of materials on the construction site and the defense of the patrol team, Xu Yi determined that the thief had come ashore by boat from Luoshui.
Xu Yi felt that as long as he visited carefully, he could always find traces of thieves.
Xu Yi's approach not only satisfied Cui, Pei, and Xiao. The three families thought that Xu Yi wanted to catch the case of the dead man, and chased after Li Song and beat him fiercely.
At the same time, Li Song was also very satisfied with Xu Yi's help in the investigation of the case. The case of the dead man put a lot of pressure on Li Song, and the imperial court also urged him many times. In Li Song's view, Xu Yi accepted his overtures and helped him get through the difficulties.
"Do I need to transfer you to the Criminal Department on an errand? Are you still aware of your responsibilities? ”
The first sentence of Li Wei's letter was like this, and he almost reprimanded him with his head and face.
When will generals be allowed to get involved in the affairs of local state capitals? You, a Zhonglang general of Zuojin Wuwei, are optimistic about Jing'an in the city, what right do you have to interfere with the investigation of the criminal department?
It's not bad to say that you don't do it, but after half a year in office, you are low-key about that matter? The entire Dongdu has seen you Xu Yi alone, and everything is significant that you Xu Yi have surpassed Henan Mansion Yin and Dongdu to stay behind.
Isn't it? Xu Yi thought about his behavior in the past six months, and sweated all over.
It seems that what happened in Dongdu in the past six months is related to himself.
Xu Yi was apprehensive again.
Just got Li Song's kindness, and became friends with the Cui family, the Pei family, and the Xiao family, Xu Yi was stunned again, and he really went to guide the Yamen of the Criminal Department to handle the case.
Damn! A group of old foxes, watching themselves jump like this, really didn't know that they fell off that day.
Originally, after Li Song showed goodwill, Xu Yi was ready to pretend to be a grandson, and he was going to talk about Taoguang and recuperation, but he didn't expect Old Man Cui to let himself pounce again in a few words.
It's still tender in the end!
Xu Yi once again sincerely admitted his mistake to Li Wei.
The Xu Mansion closed its doors, and Xu Yi was really embarrassed to tell him about any illness.
But there are some things that can't always be left to him······
"Where did this come from?"
Yingniang dragged Xu Yi into the study early in the morning, and threw out a cloth bag with a bang, all of which were rare treasures, and Xu Yi was dazzled when she saw it.
"Li Song's family. For so many days, I have almost visited every room in Li Song's house. It was taken from his family's treasury. ”
Since Xu Yi began to make trouble in front of the left-behind mansion, Yingniang has never returned at night, and no one in the family knows.
They are all a group of big men, and it is not good to take care of Yingniang's house at night.
"You mean it's all taken from the Li Song family's treasure house?"
"Well, his treasury is very secretive, at first glance it seems to be a utility room, and the whole room is full of treasures. You didn't let me kill him, so you took a few treasures with you. ”
is still sensible, this is what Xu Yi likes.
Xu Yi's family is too poor, and there is no shortage of money and food, so there is a lack of such treasures that can be inherited.
Hehe, anyway, at this time, the entanglement with Li Song has been put aside for the time being, anyway, there is also a case of death at the ferry, at this time, taking the treasures of Li Song's family should not be suspected, right?
Xu Yi looked at the treasure on the desk, and he was really a little excited.
This is ······ Xu Yi actually saw a somewhat familiar object, as if he had seen it.
Xu Yi grabbed it······ Oh, isn't this the jade seal? Xu Yi stupidly found the ink, smeared it for a long time, and pressed it on the paper.
Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang, well, these words are on the jade seal, this is the emperor······ Xu Yi was dumbfounded.
My God, this is a jade seal, isn't it a jade seal! It's a good thing, but the problem is that it's a damn thing in your own hands!
Yingniang, my grandmother, what are you······
No, I heard that the jade seal is missing a corner, and this one is all alive.
That's it, this thing is not something I can collect. God, this is damning······
