"If you go back to your lordship, the one surnamed Xu said that there is a secret decree in the palace." The porter was cautious.

At this moment, Zhou Kai became cautious, holding his chin, his face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Secret purpose, what secret purpose?" How could he have a secret decree as a living member? Let's go out and have a look. ”

Zhou Kai stood up, but he didn't dare to be careless about the secret decree in the palace, and took his subordinates to the middle gate together, and saw Xu Qian and Deng Jian waiting at the door from a distance.

Zhou Kai stepped forward, glanced at Xu Qian and Deng Jian with slanted eyes, and asked quietly, "Who said that there is a secret purpose?" ”

Xu Qian had a straight face, and he really looked a little bad, he took his hand and said, "Which is Zhou Kai, the capital of Caoyun?" ”

Zhou Kai looked at Xu Qian in disbelief, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could this person really be Qincha? If it is a mission, what is the errand? Yes, now the merchant is raiding the house, and I think it has something to do with the raid, could it be ......

Zhou Kai felt a little uneasy in his heart, he had more or less a part in this matter, and Qin sent him to come to the door, didn't he want to punish him?

He coughed and said, "This official is." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Qian smiled at him and said, "My lord, the student is polite." ”

This polite attitude suddenly made Zhou Kai puzzled for a while, looked him up and down, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Xu Qian said: "Student Xu Qian, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhou Kai hesitated for a moment, glanced at the subordinate officers on the left and right, and finally nodded.

Xu Qian entered the flower hall in the backyard, there were only Xu Qian and Zhou Kai in this flower hall, Zhou Kai was a little up and down in his heart, he couldn't figure out what was going on, his eyes were staring at Xu Qian, just waiting for Xu Qian's next words.

Xu Qian also looked at him, finally. His gaze fell on a sword hanging against the wall.

Xu Qian walked under the wall, put his hands behind his back and said, "My lord, this sword is afraid that it is an antiquity, and it is worth a lot of money." ”

Zhou Kai couldn't help but say, "Where is your secret purpose?" You and I might as well make it clear. ”

Xu Qian sighed, took out his sword from his waist, and said, "But when it comes to value, this sword of the adult can't even touch the edge of the student, do you know what kind of sword this is?" ”

Xu Qian pulled out the imperial sword with a snort, and the sword light flashed. The shining sword body was displayed in front of Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai manages Caoyun all the year round, and he doesn't know how many tributes are transferred into the palace from his hands, so he is naturally a person who knows the goods, and he shouted: "Good sword." Seeing that the sword body had a coiling dragon texture, his eyebrows furrowed. Said: "This is Edgeworth?" I've heard for a long time that you once wore an imperial sword, but when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. ”

Xu Qian's face fell, holding a sword in his hand, facing Zhou Kai, and said awe-inspiringly: "Zhou Kai, you are guilty!" ”

Originally, Zhou Kai was defenseless against Xu Qian. In his eyes, the surname Xu is just a little student, who knows that this guy draws his sword, and Zhou Kai is showing off when he thinks that the surname Xu is showing off. But when Xu Qian's sword edge touched his chest, Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are bold, I am an official of the imperial court!" ”

His mouth was hard. But the body did not dare to move at all.

Xu Qian sneered at him: "Really? I was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the business raids, and you are an official of the imperial court. Received a lot of benefits, do you believe that my Edgeworth took your life today, not only will there be no punishment, but will be rewarded? If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. You accepted bribes, bent the law for bribes, and treated this Caoyun Yamen as your own backyard, and you can't keep this black yarn alone! ”

Zhou Kai was not afraid, and sneered: "You said that you have an order, but you have a holy decree?" ”

Xu Qian looked at him coldly, and suddenly smiled: "Is Lord Zhou joking?" If I have no holy decree, and I am full of food and hold on, and come to you for bad luck? ”

This sentence is true, Zhou Kai's face is very ugly, and he said, "How are you doing?" ”

Xu Qian actually put away his sword and said to Zhou Kai: "It's nothing more than giving you two ways to go, one is that you are killing people now, but you must know that killing Qin Cha and other accomplices will not be so stupid." As for this second way, it is to atone for my sins, I can not blame the past for what happened in the past, and even after the things are completed, there will be benefits, but from now on you will be controlled by me, and then I will write to the court and repay you for your merits! ”

Zhou Kai was a little reluctant, and said: "Even if you have a holy decree, you can't control the Caoyun Yamen, you take out the holy decree." ”

Zhou Kai is well versed in the way of officialdom, and thinks in his heart, even if this Xu Qian has a holy decree, the holy decree must only let him patrol, and it is impossible for him to control all parties.

Xu Qian smiled slightly, and said, "Zhou Dusi doesn't seem to believe it, even if the Holy Decree doesn't have the authority to control your Caoyun Yamen, but is this imperial sword enough?" Since I have Edgeworth, I can kill a corrupt official like you on the spot, do you believe it or not? Besides, since I was ordered to inspect, I naturally have the right to perform, and what you do, do you really think others don't know? You are the Caoyun Division, even if you don't have any bad deeds now, I'm afraid you've committed a lot of things over the years, right? I'll give you one last chance, whether you are disobedient or follow me to make a great contribution. ”

Zhou Kai's eyes rolled, he originally thought that Xu Qian was a child who could be fooled casually, but this guy spoke to his heart every word, he was not afraid of anything else, but he couldn't stand the check. Xu Qian's matter, he has heard of it, Xu Qian said that he has something to do with the palace, and he took out the sword, there must be a holy decree, but the problem is that what this kid does is too inauthentic, how many people are involved in investigating this case? It's really crazy, I'm crazy with him, how can I get mixed up in officialdom in the future?

He grinned at Xu Qian and said, "Young Master Xu, I have heard that you are deeply favored by the palace saints, haha, to be honest, this official has been admired for a long time." He then said bitterly: "However, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, be a man...... To leave a sense of proportion and leeway, to be honest and kind, like you to check other people's greed for ink, isn't it going to harm people for a lifetime? Think about it, which adult is not dragging the family, the old and the young, how can Xu Gongzi bear it? ”

He made this crooked reasoning, and he actually had a good speech.

Xu Qian looked at him strangely and said: "Okay, then I'll be kind, I won't harm them for a lifetime, the palace needs someone to carry the black pot now, I think Zhou Dusi is quite suitable, I want to come to Zhou Dusi There is no old or young, isn't it?" ”

Zhou Kai clenched his fists and said, "What do you mean by this?" I kindly advised you to be good, but you have threatened me. Lao Tzu also crawled out of the mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and he was also killed when he was in Xuanfu, so he was afraid of you? ”

The more excited he was, the more Xu Qian saw his weakness, so he sighed and said: "My lord, I tell you the truth, the reason why I found you is because you are not deeply involved, some people are unforgivable, some people are excusable, adults are the latter, there is already a rumor in the palace, this time I will definitely clean up a group of people, my lord will not know how powerful this is, right?" As long as you do it well with me, will you lose the credit for it? ”

He immediately straightened his face and continued: "You give me a clear word, if you don't, you and I will either die or I will live in this house, if you kill me, when the court investigates, the merchant will be your end, but I will kill you, and then at most it will be a good idea." ”

Xu Qian didn't give Zhou Kai any chance, held the sword in his hand, and smiled coldly at him.

Zhou Kai sighed, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "The person who crawled out of the sea of blood in Lao Tzu's corpse mountain was actually threatened by your little student, let's do whatever you want." ”

Xu Qian's heart settled, and then he put on a majestic posture and said: "From now on, the Caoyun Yamen will be controlled by me, Zhou Dusi, is there a place for me to live in the Yamen?" ”

Zhou Kai said: "There is a firewood room in the backyard that can be cleaned up......"

Xu Qian glared at him, making him unable to speak, Zhou Kai had to say: "That's it, the east wing of the backyard is my study, and it doesn't hurt if you go there to live." It's just that although this official is a martial artist, he has always been good at reading, and the so-called reading is ten thousand volumes......"

Xu Qian said coldly: "You are wrong, you are reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, but I don't bother to pay attention to you, yes, has someone come to look for you recently, and want to borrow Caoyun to bring some private goods?" ”

Zhou Kai was exposed by Xu Qian, but his face was not red, and he said: "Someone is carrying a little something, but then again, it's nothing to bring something, adults always have personal contacts after official business, right?" ”

Xu Qian said with a straight face: "You first ask people to go to Chun'an immediately, post a notice, and say that the official Zhejiang Seven Prefectures inspect the Japanese ambassador is ordered by Qin to inspect one side, from now on, the account books and many businesses of the merchants must be reported, and the documents confiscated must also be reported, and all yamen are not allowed to make claims." ”

Zhou Kai said: "Good, good, good, this is easy to say." He couldn't help but think in his heart, he thought that you were some kind of great messenger, it turned out that you were just a so-called patrol ambassador, and like the patrol press, they were all things that did not enter the stream. After that, I couldn't help but give birth to contempt, this kid is really naïve, thinking that if he posted a proclamation, people would comply? It's really stupid, and I don't look at the other party's origins. Now follow him first and see how he is unlucky.

Xu Qian said again: "There is one more thing, the silver you received must be handed over, and it must be reported to the governor's yamen, who gave this silver, and what you want to do, you must explain it clearly." ”

Zhou Kai couldn't sit still for a while, and said, "Young Master Xu, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers." ”

Xu Qian said: "Don't worry, there will be your benefits at that time, and sooner or later these silver will be rewarded to you." ”

Zhou Kai muttered in his heart, and couldn't help but slander, Lao Tzu was unlucky, and he encountered such an ignorant thing, but now he could only agree to it, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
