The news of the proposed selection of the Dali Temple made Xia Yiyu happy, and some people were happy and some people were sad.

Needless to say, the eldest prince was the first to be out.

The second prince held the handle of Yan Sili in his hand, full of joy and thought that he was the winner, but after several twists and turns, he still ended up empty and happy, which was not as happy as the defeat of the eldest prince.

The will of the palace was transmitted to the backyard of the second prince, and the second prince was talking with Zhuang Jingshou about a game.

When the second prince heard this, his handsome face suddenly became cloudy. He messed up the chess game with one hand, and said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Gaocai, the estimate is correct, and there will be a fisherman who will profit in the end." Sir, do you think the person who harmed me is the eldest brother or the fisherman? ”

Zhuang Jing said while packing up the chess pieces: "The student thinks it's the eldest prince. After all, there were only two parties present that night. The King of Qin had this opportunity to see the needle, and besides, he did not nominate anyone at the court meeting, and no one expected that the emperor would not decide on the spot, and if the King of Qin was promoted, he would not give up the opportunity. ”

The second prince said to himself: "Third brother, it is becoming more and more of a climate!" ”

Zhuang Jing secretly admired the second prince, he was not blinded by the current gains, and he could still look elsewhere.

Zhuang Jing's face was serious: "Your Highness, King Qin can find such a person from a remote place, maybe he has other henchmen secretly." If he can't be allowed to add more manpower, then he can't let Yang Shiyi arrive in Chang'an unscathed. ”

The second prince's face was calm and waveless: "Brother the eldest emperor is a trapped beast fighting like this, does this prince also want to act like him?" ”

Zhuang Jing knew that the second prince was moved, and he vaguely said that the trapped beast was still fighting, otherwise he would say that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.

As for why the second prince moved, Zhuang Jing's heart was clear, now it is a family laughing and two families crying, who knows which one is retaliating?

It's even better if you can set up a blame!

Zhuang Jing pleaded: "Please fulfill Your Highness, and your subordinates will immediately order someone to go to Chongzhou!" ”

The second prince sighed: "That's it, whatever you want~"

Zhuang Jing received the order, and he only went out for a while and came back.

The second prince's eyes were deep, and his mood seemed to be heavy: "Sir, now the third brother has a good reputation in the court, and in the eyes of his father, he is also a capable minister, and this prince intuitively feels that the third brother is the most opponent." ”

Zhuang Jing said quietly: "Your Highness, the street ditch is in full swing, and we are starting to dig deep and rebuild it today, we may be able to add some excitement to King Qin." ”

"Oh?" The second prince was in good spirits.

Zhuang Jing said with a smile: "There are occasionally gold, silver or valuables in the Gaomen Mansion or the people's homes that do not fall into the ditch, the ditches are connected to the underground water ditch of the street, and the street drain has not been renovated for hundreds of years. The wealth is moving, as long as there are people to dig a few times to delay the progress, not only cost a lot of money, the emperor will be unhappy, and the renovation time is long, the days of street congestion will also increase, and the people will also have complaints. ”

"Will the people believe it?" The second prince was puzzled.

Zhuang Jing said: "Maybe I believe it, especially the poor people, because they are too short of money." We sent people to dig in the guise of the people, and naturally the people followed suit. ”

The second prince curled the corners of his mouth and nodded in agreement.

——————————————————

The next morning, when the masons who were repairing the streets came to the gutters, they saw a scene of devastation, which had been dug yesterday into a large hole, and the streets were covered with dirt that was almost all over the street.

"This is a sin, two days of work have been done in vain."

"It's not just a waste of work, not only to fill the pit but also to start over, which requires a lot of work."

"We don't pay by the day, this work is a package."

Several craftsmen vented their emotions sadly, and some craftsmen threw their hands on the ground, and people also sat on the ground.

Xia Yiyu and Xie Yufei rushed to the street, just looking forward to seeing this decadent scene.

Xie Yufei immediately stepped forward to persuade: "All the craftsmen should start working, the process of renovation cannot be delayed, otherwise the emperor will blame." In addition, the prince will pay two days' wages back. Your work will not be in vain. ”

"Childe, what if we make a ditch during the day, and someone comes to dig it at night? Will we be paid for the work? ”

"Childe, I don't know which thing that says that the ditch can dig gold and silver, and you have to find someone to watch it this night, otherwise this job can't be done."

"That's it, why haven't we seen gold and silver?"

Xie Yufei waved his hand to stop the discussion: "You only need to do your own work, we will deal with other things, please rest assured, if it is dug up again, we will make up the money for you." ”

At this point, the masonry craftsmen got up neatly and began to work.

Xia Yiyu's face turned pale, and said: "It seems that the two brothers are not happy to find me, tonight the general who patrols the city, this king wants to play a copy of him." ”

"Lord Wang, don't involve other people, since you have the intention to find the soldiers who are not happy, you will stagger the patrolling soldiers." Xie Yufei said.

She added: "Now we have to put up a notice to make it clear that the rumors of gold and silver in the sewers are false, and that someone is trying to obstruct the progress of the project." Again, it is clear that this street renovation project is highly valued by the emperor, and if anyone dares to obstruct it, he will be severely punished. ”

"Do you think they'll come back in the evening?" Xia Yiyu asked.

Xie Yufei said: "Maybe, I'll come and see at night, the prince doesn't have to come, you still have business to do during the day." ”

Xia Yiyu didn't respond, Xie Yufei was here, how could he not come!

In the middle of the night, the street patrol sergeant had just walked through the street, and the sound of neat footsteps gradually faded away, and the dim streets of the imperial city had returned to calm.

At this time, dense figures burst out of the lanes on the street, breaking the calm of the street.

A group of people with things in their hands walked to the gutter, and before they could start moving, torches suddenly lit up in the dark surroundings, illuminating the whole night as bright as day.

"Run, there's an ambush."

This group of people turned their heads and wanted to run backwards, but a group of soldiers also appeared on the back road, and these people found that they were surrounded and had no way to escape, so they knelt on the ground and shouted: spare your life!

Xie Yufei stood in front of the soldiers with her hands in her hands, and with a wave of her hand, the soldiers surrounded her and waved their whips, slashing the group of people on their heads and covering their faces, and they were knocked over to the ground and rolled with their heads and cried.

"Stop! Kneel down for me, and interrogate each of you. Xie Yufei said: "There are forty-two people, three people and a small team will be tried separately, let them explain in detail." ”

As soon as Xie Yufei's words fell, the group of people were dragged to the corner for interrogation separately.

After a while, the soldiers dragged them back again, and A went up to ask them one by one, and the result was the same.

Xie Yufei got the results of the review and walked to the carriage parked in front of him, Xia Yiyu stood next to the carriage, and when he saw her coming, he asked, "Yufei, can you interrogate who is the mastermind?" ”

Xie Yufei shook his head: "They are all members of the underworld Fengyun Gang in Chang'an City, they only follow orders, and they don't know who the people behind them are." ”

Unable to find a result, Xia Yiyu was slightly annoyed, there were two purposes for coming to arrest people tonight.

To stop the gutter from being destroyed again, it is necessary to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and there is no doubt that the people who are caught are chickens.

Another purpose is to see who these people will instruct and blame, no matter which important person is involved, then there will be a good show to watch, and it has nothing to do with Xia Yiyu if those big people bite each other.

Xie Yufei is also a little disappointed, and he doesn't have a good show!

She let out a long sigh and said, "Lord Wang, it seems that I just want to have fun for you, and I have no other purpose." ”
