At this time, it had been two quarters of an hour before the brass bell rang, but the envoy had not yet arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Yi Yunfeng was there, the bronze bell rang for a quarter of an hour, and everyone must rush to the Wuji Palace, this is an iron-like rule, and no one has ever been half a minute late.

But now, without the deterrence of the city lord, for some people, the rules have become dispensable.

Zi Yunyan's expression was cold, and he said in an unhappy tone: "Where is the internal affairs envoy?

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, there was an uproar outside, and someone sang loudly: "The housekeeping is here!"

Before the shouting stopped, there was a burst of bell-like laughter from outside the hall, surrounded by eight guards with tigers and bears, an old man in a brocade robe walked in proudly, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that all the adults have arrived, but the old man is one step late, which is really rude!"

This old man in gorgeous clothes is extraordinary, his steps are calm when he walks, and he looks forward to the light, no matter who looks at him, he will feel like he is sitting on pins and needles, obviously an extremely difficult character, this person is Jiang Haifu, the internal affairs envoy of Wuji City, and he is also the household Sima of the six departments, his position is high and powerful, except for the general Ziyunyan, he is no longer a second person in Wuji City.

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Haifu ignored everyone, so he swept his eyes and strode forward, sitting on the empty seat of the upper seat with a golden sword, and the eight guards who surrounded him were scattered on both sides, showing his noble status, no one had ever brought the guards into the Wuji Palace, he was already the first in Wuji City.

Now without the deterrence of the city lord and the restraint of the foreign envoy, he has become unscrupulous, and does not care about anyone's opinion at all.

"Master Jiang is very careful!"

Zi Yunyan snorted coldly, and said with a displeased expression: "Could it be that in the Wuji Palace, are you still afraid of being plotted?"

Anyone can hear the sarcasm in this voice.

But Jiang Haifu didn't think it was wrong, shook his head and smiled: "As the saying goes, be careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years, the old man lives for such an age, and he can be free of wind and waves, relying on the word careful." ”

Speaking of this, his gaze swept over the cold, glanced at Zi Yunyan and Bai Zhanyu, and laughed softly: "It's you young people, no matter how high your martial arts are, there will be times when the gutter capsizes, don't make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred." ”

Jiang Haifu hid a knife in his smile, the threat in his words was obvious, although Zi Yunyan understood, but now it was not the time to turn his face with him, he just snorted coldly and stopped talking.

As for Bai Zhanyu, his city is deeper, and he is good at hiding his emotions, but at this time, his expression was dumbfounded, and he didn't seem to hear it at all.

Jiang Haifu no longer paid attention to them, looked around, and said in a majestic tone: "Okay, since you have arrived, then let's start!"

This kind of unyielding style is as condescending as the city lord, which makes several people in the palace extremely uncomfortable, but now they are helpless, Jiang Haifu is originally a master of the eighth layer of the Yuan Body, and there are many capable people in his mansion, just look at the eight personal guards on his left and right, all of them are masters of the fifth layer of the Yuan Body, and the strength of the Internal Affairs Mansion can be seen.

Ziyunyan ignored it disdainfully, and said solemnly: "Everyone, yesterday Feiyun City attacked the city on a large scale, although it was a fluke to defend the city, but the losses were extremely heavy. ”

Speaking of this, her face seemed to be even more serious, and she said in a deep voice: "In the current Wuji City, there are less than 3,000 good fighters in the Shenwu Army, and the new army composed of 150,000 people, there are only more than 40,000 dead and wounded, and these are ordinary people who are not proficient in martial arts, and tens of thousands of elites are not as strong as the first battalion of the Shenwu Army, and the situation is really unprecedented." ”

"What General Zi said is extremely true!"

This is, Jiang Haifu took over and said with a smile: "The combat power of Wuji City is indeed worrying, there are still 200 soldiers in the old man's mansion, all of whom are first-class martial arts masters, and defending the city is useless." ”

However, before his words fell, Zi Yunyan categorically refused, and said coldly: "Lord Jiang, how dare I use the guards in your house?

This sentence said, not to mention other people, even Yi Tian had to shout in his heart, if he really let the subordinates of the Internal Affairs Office go to defend the city, I am afraid that he will immediately turn against him, and the city gate will be lost overnight.

At this time, Yi Tian could almost conclude that Zi Yunyan was afraid that he had already suspected this internal envoy and would not let him have the opportunity to meddle in the city defense at all.

Jiang Haifu was not dissatisfied, as if he had already known such a result, but he just laughed dryly and did not speak.

Worry appeared on Zi Yunyan's face, and he continued: "The combat power of defending the city is insufficient, but secondly, more importantly, the city has been without food for more than half a month, and there is no Linggu, not to mention, even the ordinary grain and straw are all exhausted, and the people feed on the bark of grass roots and trees, starving corpses on the streets, and even the tragedy of cannibalism, in such a situation, how can you still defend Wuji City?"

Speaking of this, Zi Yunyan's face full of worry turned into grief and indignation, and a pair of phoenix eyes pierced Jiang Haifu's eyes like two sharp swords, and asked in a cold voice: "Lord Jiang, you are in charge of the household department, and you are fully responsible for the dispatch of this spiritual grain grain and grass, so how to explain the lack of grain?"

This gaze was extremely fierce and intimidating, but Jiang Haifu raised his sleeves and said with a displeased expression: "General Zi, don't you think that it is the old man who privately cultivates the grain and grass of the Linggu, and makes the soldiers and people in the whole city starve, what good is this for the old man? ”

Before he finished speaking, he looked around and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, last year's locust drought was well known to the people of Wuji City, and the grain stock was extremely limited, and when Feiyun City was besieged, it was the time of the grain harvest, everything was cut off from the outside world, and the supply of new grain in the three counties under its jurisdiction was not ......."

Speaking of which, even Yi Tian, who was in the bedroom, understood what he meant, the old grain in the city was eaten immediately, and at this juncture the city was besieged, the only city gate was blocked, and the new grain outside was naturally not supplied, which caused a great famine in the whole city, but the timing of the battle in Feiyun City had to be said to be just right.

Although Jiang Haifu said that the head is the Tao, and the explanation is reasonable, but the people who can sit in the hall are all characters who have experienced wind and waves, and naturally they are not so easy to be bluffed.

Wan Cangsong suddenly laughed out loud, he was an old minister of the three dynasties of Wuji City, but he had no scruples when he spoke, and said coldly: "Lord Jiang, you hold the power of the household department alone, isn't Linggu and Yuanshi what you say?" But Jianmu and Kunshi are both under the responsibility of mining and management by the Ministry of Industry, so how can you embezzle them privately?"

Speaking of this, Wan Cangsong's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Two months ago, in the name of building a granary, you made a request for the allocation of 500 stones of Jianmu and 1,000 stones of Kunshi, everyone knows that the granary is a prerequisite for upgrading the level 2 city, and the old man agreed without even thinking about it. ”

"And after the city lord's approval, the old man immediately mobilized Kunshi and Jianmu to transfer almost the only remaining resources of the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Households, but now the granary has not been seen, but where are the resources?"

When he said the last sentence, Wan Cangsong's face was already flushed, and the anger in his heart was obviously forcibly suppressed.

Ziyunyan was also pretty, and interjected on the side: "Yes, now the city wall is badly damaged, although the Ministry of Industry has summoned tens of thousands of women and children in the city to strengthen the repair day and night, but Jianmu and Kunshi are in short supply, Jiang Haifu, do you want to sit back and watch the city destroy and die?"

This sentence is extremely harsh, and it calls Jiang Haifu by his name, which shows how angry Ziyunyan is?

But Jiang Haifu calmed down instead, as if he had already had something to say in his belly, and said unhurriedly: "It's normal for you to not know about this matter, the city lord of Yi was eloquent that day, and he originally planned to build a granary to prepare for being promoted to a level 2 city, but it coincided with the eightieth birthday of the city lord of the lion camel, and these resources have been used as a congratulatory gift......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zi Yunyan: "It is true that the eightieth birthday of the Lord of Lion Camel City is true, but with Jianmu and Kunshi as congratulatory gifts, this general has never heard of it, but this matter is unknown to anyone except you?"

Jiang Haifu's face was a little bitter, and he sighed and said: "This matter involves confidentiality, except for the old man, there are only two people in the know, the city lord and the foreign envoy!"

"So ......"

Zi Yunyan couldn't help but laugh angrily, and said coldly: "Lord Jiang said for a long time, after all, there is no proof of death, if Yang Zuo's foreign envoy is still here, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense here?"

Bai Zhanyu, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Lord Jiang, the Lord of the Outer Realm Department of the Lion Camel City Rite Department, I have some contacts with you, but I have never heard of this?"

"It seems that the old man can't wash it even if he jumps into the Yellow River. ”

Jiang Haifu sighed lightly and said: "The Sword and Shield Battalion has already broken through the siege, and I believe that the reinforcements from Lion Camel City will arrive soon, and when the time comes, he will make it clear and return the old man's innocence." ”

Bai Zhanyu was unusual, and suddenly competed with each other: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that time!"

Jiang Haifu's brows couldn't help frowning, whether it was Zi Yunyan or Sima Wan Cangsong of the Ministry of Industry, he had already calculated that these two people were going to make trouble, but Bai Zhanyu was also aggressive, if these three people were on the same front, it would really be difficult to deal with, and he would be afraid when he said this.

"Since you don't believe it, there is nothing to say, and commanding the operation, it is the general's business, but it has little to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the old man is in charge of internal affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Haifu turned his head and asked in a deep voice: "Du Sima, about the case of Meng Qingyun of the Ministry of Rites, can there be a result?"

That Du Rende didn't understand anything, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Jiang, after a few days of sudden interrogation by the lower officials, that Meng Qingyun has already confessed, he has already been bought by Feiyun City, and the Vulture Ridge tragedy before February was planned by this traitor, and he was actually a traitor to the country." ”

Speaking of this, Du Rende's voice paused, and he said loudly: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, and Meng Qingyun has also pleaded guilty, and is now on death row in the Criminal Department, please ask Lord Jiang to decide." ”

"Good!"

Jiang Haifu stroked his palms and said a good word, as if he was spitting out the turbidity in his heart, and said in a solemn tone: "Sima Meng Qingyuan of the Ministry of Rites, collaborating with the enemy and treason, betraying the lord to seek glory, it is really a great crime, tomorrow afternoon, the head of the owl will be shown to the public, in order to sacrifice the spirit of the city lord in the sky!"
