Su Yi has also heard of Cao Rang's name, the eunuch group of Dachu is powerful, and the representative figure among them is none other than the ten permanent servants, and among the ten permanent servants, Cao Rang is the most powerful, known as nine thousand years old, in charge of the westward guards in the six eleven guards.

Those who can enter the west to defend are all close ministers of the Son of Heaven, they are only sent by the Son of Heaven, and they can supervise, arrest, and even torture their subjects at will without going through the investigation and interrogation of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Department, which is one of the most terrifying institutions in the entire Great Chu.

Long before Jinyiwei gained power, the westbound guard and the private guard and the Jinyi guard checked and balanced each other, but later the Jinyi guard lost power, and Cao Rang won the first place in the struggle for the rights of many eunuchs, and as a result, the westward guard became the head of the three guards, above the other guards.

Since this Sun Zhong is a steward of Cao Rang's subordinates, I am afraid that his identity is also a leader in the Westward Guard, and this Liu Yu has a headache.

After the results of the competition came out, Liu Yu hastily announced the appointment of personnel, anyway, he didn't expect this group of wastes to play any role in the counterinsurgency process, doing so was nothing more than to show the world that he, Liu Yu, was also a meritocracy at this time.

It's a pity that it is only a selection level, and it depends on the person's background, where can this so-called meritocracy be seen?

Su Yi returned to his residence outside the city and waited for another two days, and on this day, Cheng Lin suddenly ran into his room and hurriedly said, "The Assassin's Mansion sent someone to say that he wanted to see you." ”

"See me?"

Cheng Lin nodded busily and said: "I was playing outside with a few sisters, and I heard a report from someone from the bottom that said that there was a person from Dongyang City waiting for you in the side hall, Gao Heihu and Ma Bin were practicing martial arts outside, this person came very low-key, and a few of them didn't notice it, so they let him wait in the side hall for a long time." ”

Su Yi hurriedly rushed to the meeting room. At the same time, he instructed Gao Heihu and others to be on guard, although this place is located outside Dongyang City, there are many thieves wandering nearby, and if you are not careful, you will be attacked by these thieves.

In the past few days, they have been idle outside the city, and Gao Heihu and Ma Bin have led people to clean up the nearby thieves.

In the side hall sat a man dressed as an official. Sitting on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, he was swaying there to drink tea, and when he saw Su Yi coming, he just raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at it with slanted eyes, and then didn't make any other moves.

Su Yi patiently waited for him to drink the tea one by one, and then asked, "I don't know if Your Excellency is ......?"

Now he just wants to get through this stubble in peace, and then find an opportunity to run back to the vertical and horizontal mountains, without any intention of causing trouble. Therefore, he didn't have a seizure, he talked to the other party in a good voice, who talked about the pedigree in front of him, put down the teacup, and asked slowly: "You, what is Su Yi?" ”

"Not bad." Su Yi frowned and said.

The man said angrily: "Oh, what about me, surnamed Chai." It is the Marquis of the Assassin Mansion. ”

Su Yi said: "It turned out to be Chai Yuhou." ”

When Chai Yuhou heard Su Yi call him by his official name, he was a little unhappy in his heart and said, "In Youzhou." Except for Lord Thorn Shi and Lord Yu, everyone else has to call me Lord Chai when they meet, you ......"

Su Yi pretended to be surprised again: "It turned out to be Lord Chai." ”

When Chai Yuhou saw Su Yi's expression, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but although Su Yi pretended to be surprised, he couldn't find any thorns in his title. I had to snort coldly and said: "Su Yi, this official came here this time to inform you on behalf of Lord Liu, you go to see him in the council hall early tomorrow morning, Lord Liu has something to tell you to do." ”

Su Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. Said: "Lord Thorn Shi has something to find me, just give me an order, why bother to let you come over to summon me?" ”

Chai Yuhou sneered and said: "I don't know about this, but what, Su Junhou, this official reminds you, no matter how much backing you have in the imperial city, this is always the boundary of Youzhou, and you are also working under Lord Liu, sometimes, don't be too arrogant." I also know about you and Lord Liu...... Lord Liu is magnanimous and won't bother with you, don't blame the official for not instructing you, tomorrow morning, you back up Bo Li, everyone looks good. ”

Su Yi was inexplicable when he heard this, and he felt more and more that there was something wrong in his heart. Seeing that Su Yi ignored him, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he walked away on his own.

Su Yi always felt a little weird about this scene, going to the council hall early tomorrow morning? That council hall is a place for high-level discussions and strategies in Youzhou, and ordinary officials are not allowed to enter, but he, a military attache the size of a sesame mung bean, will be summoned to the council hall by Liu Yu?

Somehow, the story of Lin Chong breaking into the White Tiger Hall with a knife suddenly flashed in Su Yi's mind, and his heart sank, he looked at the back of Chai Yuhou, and after the other party left, he didn't care about explaining it to Cheng Lin and the others, so he hurriedly rushed to the Qianjin Building.

The chamber of the Assassin's Mansion is similar to the White Tiger Hall, the White Tiger Hall is an important place for military aircraft, and this conference hall is also an important place for military aircraft, in addition, the high-level leaders of Youzhou are here every time they discuss countermeasures, so idle people are generally not allowed to enter the conference hall, this Liu Yu sent someone to summon him for no reason, asking him to go to the conference hall early the next morning to listen to the instructions, Su Yi suddenly became suspicious in his heart.

Su Yi always felt that the current situation was somewhat similar to Lin Chong who was taken to the White Tiger Hall, but the difference was that Lin Chong, under the inducement of others, also carried a treasure knife over, so that he strayed into the White Tiger Hall, and was taken down because he carried the murder weapon.

Su Yi's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly thought of the crux of the problem, this Chai Yuhou claimed to be the Marquis Yu under Liu Yu, but when they met, he didn't take out the official document summoned by Liu Yu, and second, he didn't take out the token and official letter to prove his identity, how could he prove that the person who had just left was really the Marquis of the Assassin's Mansion.

Even if the other party is really the Marquis of the Assassin Mansion, this matter is too strange.

Su Yi has just offended Liu Yu and Yu Gongcao, and he should be cautious at this time, if he is not careful, he will fall for the tricks of others by mistake and end up with a catastrophe.

Dongyang County is not as good as Shangyang County, once something happens, it will be too late for Su Yi to summon his subordinates outside the city, not to mention, even if Gao Heihu and others know that Su Yi is in trouble, facing Dongyang County with strong walls, they have to sit back and watch Su Yi fall into the city.

Li Hun saw Su Yi go and return, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Su, ...... you came this time?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Yi hurriedly said, "Brother Li, the Sun Zhong you said last time, do you know where he lives?" ”

Li Hun was stunned, Su Yi saw this, and said hurriedly: "It's the prison sent by the imperial court." ”

Li Hun suddenly realized, and only said in a half-loud voice: "As far as I know, as soon as this Sun Zhong arrived in Youzhou, he gave Liu Yu a look, and he didn't live in the Assassin's Mansion, but only lived in the south of the city where he used to entertain county officials on weekdays......"

"Chengnan ......" Su Yi didn't wait for him to finish, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Li for telling me!" After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Li Hun standing in place dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
