Chapter 169: Return to the Owner

Blinded by the legends that spread everywhere, outsiders thought that when the emperor was alive, Xuanyuan Yichen relied on the big tree of the emperor. After the death of the first emperor, all the big and small matters in the Xianwang Mansion depended on this butler who was single-handedly picked up by the former emperor, so that the Xianwang Mansion could operate well, and Xuanyuan Yichen could be a ridiculous prince who didn't care about anything in front of him and was still trying to cause trouble outside.

Liu Qingyan thought the same thing at first, but she soon knew that these were just illusions. The housekeeper certainly has to manage a lot of things, and Xuanyuan Yichen is very relieved to manage many things, and he will manage them all. But in the final analysis, the housekeeper still has to report the necessary things to Xuanyuan Yichen, and then hand it over to Xuanyuan Yichen to make the final decision.

It's like today's matter, not big or small, the housekeeper has handled it almost well, so he came to report. The efficiency and ability of the housekeeper are good, but to be able to train such a housekeeper and so many subordinates in the palace who perform their duties and have good work ability, Xuanyuan Yichen, the boss who is really the boss behind the scenes, is naturally indispensable.

Liu Qingyan turned sideways, looking at Xuanyuan Yichen's eyes, and there was a little more appreciation. Xuanyuan Yichen saw it, and he was proud. If he had a tail, he would be able to it. felt more energetic, but his face was still indifferent, unwilling to let Liu Qingyan know how proud he was.

"Why don't the rest of the people agree?" Xuanyuan Yichen asked, telling Liu Qingyan with his actions that he was really in charge.

The housekeeper opened the account book, pointed to the names of those people, and said: "I have personally gone to see and checked with someone, these people all have shops and stalls at home, but the compensation price they proposed is too far from the price I estimated, and the price cannot be negotiated, so it will be put on hold for the time being." Lord, what do you think? ”

As a good housekeeper, the housekeeper also knows when to let the prince behave. This kind of thing, even if the housekeeper has full authority to deal with it, Xuanyuan Yichen will not say a word. However, since the housekeeper took the initiative to ask, Xuanyuan Yichen said: "According to the price they said, it will be unfair to other people who have already accepted compensation." If you go to see it again tomorrow, just add some more according to the price you said, and it will be regarded as a reassurance to them. If they don't agree, let them come to me. Let me talk to them personally. ”

The housekeeper suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and came to talk to the prince in person, even if those people really wanted the lion to open his mouth, it would fall into the hands of the prince when the time came, but I was afraid that the prince was the lion. Anyone with a little brains should know that it's time to stop in moderation, but don't lose more than you gain. The idle prince is definitely not easy to mess with, nor is it something they can afford to provoke.

The butler agreed, and the matter was settled for the time being, and then said the second thing, "Lord Wang, and the man who was unfortunately trampled to death by the horse. His family was willing to accept compensation, but there were people from the government who were present at the time and saw what had happened. The government said that if it was something else like an injury or damage to a shop, the compensation would be over, but after all, it was a matter of human life, and it was not something that could be done with some compensation. What they mean is that murder pays for life. ”

When the butler said this, he thought it was funny. Xuanyuan Yichen's eyes exposed outside the mask couldn't help laughing, and said: "Killing people to pay for their lives, have you asked him, do you want this king to pay for his life, or the imperial guard who took the lead in making trouble to pay for his life, or simply ask the person behind the imperial guard to pay for his life, or simply let this official himself pay for his life?" ”

The housekeeper didn't answer, although he was the housekeeper in the Xianwang Mansion, but in fact he didn't have an official position, and the officials in the capital, who didn't have a strong force behind him. If he is willing, he will say a few words of laughter to the housekeeper, and when he is in a bad mood, he will scold the housekeeper a few words, and he can only accept it except for coming back to complain to the prince. In this case, the prince can ask directly in front of that person, but he is not qualified.

Xuanyuan Yichen also understood in his heart, so he said: "This king doesn't know that the officials in the capital are so fearless of the powerful and use them to challenge the powerful. He just wanted to get some silver taels from this king or let this king know, so that he could remember him so that he could give him a favor. If he took this matter by himself, this king might really remember him, but since he didn't know what to do and wanted to threaten this king, this king didn't agree. Tomorrow you will bring the king's token and tell him, he is right, this is a human murder case, and it cannot be solved with silver taels. Let him check, he must check it well, if he finds out that it was the king who killed that person, the king will go to his yamen to confess his guilt in court. If it is found out that it is someone else, no matter who it is, he must be arrested and brought to justice! ”

"Lord Wang......" Xuanyuan Yichen really took off the token and threw it on the table, the housekeeper's eyes widened, looking straight at the token, but he didn't dare to reach out and take it. Xiao Yue and the four of them also looked at this token, and they were also wondering in their hearts, what did the prince want to do.

Xuanyuan Yichen chuckled lightly and said, "He dares to come to this king's trouble, and this king naturally wants to give him a bigger trouble." Go ahead, if he still wants to continue to be an official, he will come up with a way to solve this problem. ”

The butler was skeptical, but he would still follow the prince's orders. He picked up the token in both hands and placed it in front of him, and then saw three books taken out.

Liu Qingyan recognized it at once, isn't this the list of contestants from three countries? During the game, the referee held it in his hand from time to time. When the housekeeper brought it to her, she looked again, and she really didn't guess wrong.

"This is the latest registered list that has just been sent from the palace, which records the names of the players from the three countries who will take the stage tomorrow to participate in the competition, the order in which they will play and the approximate time." The housekeeper said, and put the list in his hand in front of the idle king and the idle princess.

In fact, there was a list of people who participated in today's competition yesterday, and Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan had also seen it, but they were more concerned about what Xuanyuan Yixing was planning, and the people on these three rosters had basically never seen or heard of it. So they just flipped through it casually and just did it.

But today is different, and the list for tomorrow's game is sent. Although Liu Qingyan directly entered the finals, she will have nothing to do tomorrow. But tomorrow among these people, there is one of her opponents. Regardless of whether you win or lose, trying to ensure that you don't get hurt is the most important thing, Liu Qingyan and Xuanyuan Yichen, it is necessary to study the opponent the day after tomorrow.

The two of them temporarily put aside the list of Daliangguo, Liu Qingyan took the list of Liguo, and Xuanyuan Yichen took the list of Mengguo. When the two of them opened it, they found that this list was much more detailed than yesterday's. It's not just the name of the other party, but also the martial arts and weapons that the other party is best at.

Such a roster can indeed help a lot, but just looking at it on paper is too superficial after all, and you still have to wait until tomorrow to see these people with your own eyes, so that you can really understand the strength of the other party.

Xuanyuan Yichen looked at it casually and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Only then did the housekeeper take out a small bag from his arms and said, "This is Dr. Zhong not long ago...... Sent over. ”

Only then did he hear the words "Doctor Zhong", Xuanyuan Yichen raised his head suddenly, and without waiting for the housekeeper to finish speaking, he reached out and snatched the bag. When I opened it, it was indeed the jade pendant inside! Xuanyuan Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, such an important thing finally returned to his hands. Doctor Zhong is also very good at hurrying up, if he is a little slower, I am afraid that if he doesn't wait for him to send it over, Xuanyuan Yichen plans to go to him in person to come back.
