Chapter 20: The Envoy of Weida
"Morning! As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Wei Xiwan saw Su Yilin sitting at the table in her courtyard drinking tea with a smile.
"Morning!" Seeing that there was no one beside him, Wei Xiwan didn't care about any etiquette and salutation, so he sat down generously and poured a cup of tea by himself.
Su Yilin naturally didn't mind, just smiled, took out a token and handed it to her, "Here you go, with it, you can freely enter and leave any place in the Dongshu Palace, so that you can go to investigate the case." ”
Wei Xi took it and flipped it a few times casually, this is just a pass token, which can only allow her to move unhindered, but she has no practical power.
"That's it, and then I'll take this order and go to the Dongshu Palace to investigate the case?" Wei Xiwan put down the teacup and looked at Su Yilin in disbelief and asked.
"Of course not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent you twenty people to wait for you outside the palace. Su Yilin's eyes dodged, and his expression was a little unnaturally lowered and smiled.
Wei Xi knew that she could only carry twenty people and a pass token, and she didn't even have the slightest power to get the palace treasury guards to cooperate with her investigation, so she could only rely on herself.
"Lord Su and His Highness seem to have expectations of me a little too much. Wei Xiwan looked at him, and did not go to Su Yilin's imagination to be surprised or questioned, but was calm and relaxed, looking indifferent.
"You...... Don't you have any questions or requirements?" Su Yilin hesitated and asked, he had even thought about the lines to deal with her in advance, and now it seems that it is useless.
"No, but I'll only pick ten of twenty people, and it's hard to move a lot of people. Wei Xiwan plans to pick ten people who look more honest, too clever and have too many people to follow her, which may not be good for her.
"Ten?" Su Yilin was a little surprised.
Wei Xiwan looked at him and nodded, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
What difference can there be between ten or twenty? After all, she will not be able to find out this case, and Su Yilin and Wang Chengchen want her to investigate the case, just to see her ability.
"Alright, it's time for me to go. Wei Xiwan didn't say anything more and stood up.
"Okay, take care!" Su Yilin also stood up and tidied up her clothes, although she felt that she knew what they thought, but what could she do, she still had to prove herself like this.
The two walked out of the courtyard together, but one went in the direction of leaving the palace, and the other walked in the direction of the palace.
The first time Wei Xi took this road was when he went to Nancheng to inspect the drought, and now the road has no bleak scenery at that time, but everything is full of vitality.
Just went to the Nancheng Palace but was sent back to investigate the case, Wei Xiwan and ten of his men entered the city, and saw a group of people gathered at the city gate, looking at the notice on the wall.
"I'll take a look. Wei Xiwan handed the horse rope to one of his men and walked over.
“...... From today onwards, the Imperial City of the East is the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Palace of the East is the Imperial Palace......"
"Trolling City, Trolling Palace, it's also quite good. Wei Xi muttered lately.
When the army of Nancheng State attacked, the prince ordered that it was strictly forbidden to burn, kill and loot the common people, and after the capture of Dongyu, the policy of tax reduction and exemption was issued one by one.
"Lord Wei, are we going to the Trolling Palace now?" the next group of people had already led the horses to the notice, and asked Wei Xiwan.
"No, there's no hurry. Wei Xiwan stretched out his hand to take the rope of his horse, and led his men to lead the horse in the direction of the inn.
The ink gradually soaked the sky, and a bright moon hung up.
Ten men in black quietly infiltrated the Trolling Palace, approaching in the direction of the treasury.
"There is a ......" One of the guards noticed the movement and was about to shout loudly, but someone covered his nose from behind. In an instant, all the men in black appeared in front of the treasury guards, and the white powder was sprinkled in the sky, and the guards reacted quickly to cover their noses or hold their breath, but they still had to fight with the men in black, obviously a little powerless.
"Stop!" a woman's commanding voice rang out in the night, and the men in black stopped moving and took off their masks.
The guards were inexplicable, what was the situation, and they didn't even fall this time. One of the guards tasted the white powder, which turned out to be flour for steamed buns.
"It seems that if the robbers use the same means again, you will not be able to stop them. Wei Xiwan appeared from another corner and slowly approached the front of the treasury to watch them.
"Who are you?" The guard asked loudly and confidently when he saw that the other guards in the palace had arrived and surrounded Wei Xiwan and the ten men in black.
"I am the personal envoy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I have come to thoroughly investigate the theft of the treasury. "The power is not enough, the momentum is to make up.
"How to prove it?" They received the news that someone would come to check the treasury in the next few days, and when they saw that Wei Xiwan looked upright and not afraid of shadows, and these men in black did not hurt them, they also believed a little.
Wei Xiwan took out a token from his waist and handed it over.
"Why haven't I seen such a token?" muttered the guard, looking at it in his hand.
"You're just a guard, have you already seen all the tokens?" Wei Xi said with a slight sarcasm.
After repeatedly looking at the token, he didn't notice anything wrong except that he hadn't seen it, and what Wei Xiwan said was reasonable, so the guard respectfully returned the token.
"My lord, I was offended just now, I don't know what to call it?"
"The surname is Wei. Wei Xiwan's voice was cold and clear, "I brought my subordinates to test you, but I didn't expect that you still can't keep the treasury, what use does the court want you?"
"Lord Wei, we ......"
"Don't explain it yet, look for me in the palace execution department tomorrow morning. Interrupting the guards' words, Wei Xiwan waved his hand to signal the ten black-clothed men to leave, and the surrounding guards gave way one after another, and no one dared to stop them.
"Hey, what level of official did you say the envoy was?"
"I don't know, but it was Lord Zhang who was in charge of investigating this case before, so she should be similar to Lord Zhang. ”
"No, Lord Zhang can't find out, and the imperial court sent this Lord Wei, who is estimated to be an even bigger official than Lord Zhang. ”
"I think this Lord Wei does look like ......"
After Wei Xi left late, the guards couldn't help but whisper about this Wei master.
The group took the pass and went out of the palace and returned to the inn, and as soon as they returned to the room, Wei Xiwan took out the token of the envoy and threw it on the table, breathing a sigh of relief.
She spent a special afternoon asking someone to imitate the pass token, the workmanship was very fine, and it was really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake at night, and even ten of her subordinates thought that it was given by His Royal Highness the Prince.
And tonight she made a fuss in the palace, and it is estimated that no one in it knows about her, the envoy Wei. Then this token will not need to be used in the future, so as not to be seen and noticed during the day.
Tianyao Mountain.
"The boss has a message, let's start tomorrow and go to Xiyue Country to launder money. ”
