Chapter 141: It's Better to Be a Fool (Wan Geng)

The waning moon is as sharp as a sword.

When night falls and everything goes dark.

There are always some people who stick to unknown places with a strong sense of sleepiness.

In the study room of the house in Jingzhao Mansion.

An oil lamp slowly lit up, dispelling the darkness and illuminating Xu Yi's tired body.

Under an oil lamp.

Xu Yi sat on the Taishi's chair, holding a wolf pen, slowly writing something on the desk.

On the left-hand side of his bookcase, there is a thick stack of documents and account books, like a mountain.

But no matter how high or heavy it is, it just makes Xu Yi physically and mentally tired.

As for wanting to crush Xu Yi, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Over time.

The night grew darker.

Xu Yi slowly put down the wolf pen in his hand, rubbed his divergent wrist, and then slowly leaned back on the Taishi chair.

The documents and account books that were originally on the left side of the bookcase were all transferred to the right side of the bookcase at some point.

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi, who was reclining on the Taishi's chair, suddenly exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity.

Then he looked deeply at the bookcase, a piece of rice paper full of characters very different from this era.

There were a few characters in the lower right corner of the rice paper that were heavily circled by the wolf's pen.

Therefore, it is particularly conspicuous.

And that's just a rough count of today's results.

Next to this number, there is a line of small words: "Eleven granaries have not yet been counted." ”

A total of 26 large and small granaries were seized.

Eleven of the granaries have not yet had time to be counted.

It would take a day for the grain to be counted alone.

The subsequent transshipment will take at least some time.

At that time, if everything goes well, Yao Silian should be able to return to Chang'an City from Taibai Mountain.

Just when Xu Yi was secretly pondering.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the study.

If you don't pay attention, you will be completely ignored, and if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to find that the sound hides a strange melody.

Xu Yi slowly sat up straight, and casually picked up a thin iron skewer next to the oil lamp.

Then he slowly plucked the wick with an iron stick.

In an instant, the light in the study became flickering and dimming with Xu Yi's slow fluctuations.

After fiddling with it a few times, Xu Yi slowly got up and walked out of the study with an oil lamp.

The moment he walked into the bedroom with an oil lamp in his hand.

The entire Jingzhao Mansion instantly melted into darkness, and there was no trace of light.

Bedrooms in the bedrooms.

Xu Yi slowly placed the oil lamp on the small wooden table beside him.

Then he sat on a wooden bench next to him, quietly waiting for something.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Suddenly.

There was a slight noise on the windowsill outside the bedroom.

Xu Yi, who had closed his eyes and recuperated in the inner room, slowly opened his eyes.

It didn't take a while.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside.

"Ask your heart to meet the little master." The leader of the heart bowed in a low voice outside the door of the inner room of the bedroom.

"Enter." Xu Yi looked at the door and said calmly.

There was a soft "creak".

The Leader of the Conscience slowly pushed the door open.

Xu Yi said calmly: "What happened tonight? ”

Since the accident in the Wang family compound, Xu Yi has reduced all the unnecessary actions of the Baiwei.

What's more, if it is not necessary, all the guards of conscience must be on standby around the inner house at all times, and they cannot move around at will.

This is Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter how careful you are, you can't overdo it.

What's more, Xu Yi has now become the focus of the entire Chang'an City.

I can't tell how many pairs of eyes are staring at him all the time.

How could Xu Yi make such an obvious mistake at such a critical juncture.

If it weren't for the special tonight, there would definitely not be this scene in front of us.

The leader of the heart arched his hand and replied: "Go back to the little master, the eldest princess of Dongyang will return when the time comes."

went to the Song Guogong Mansion, and since then, neither Song Guogong nor the eldest princess of Dongyang have gone out. ”

The news that Dongyang went to the palace was finally known by Xu Yi.

It's just that this result is the same as Xu Yi's guess.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, signaling the leader of the heart to continue.

The Conscience Leader spoke slowly again: "In addition, among the more than twenty families behind the scenes, two have died. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yi's face instantly became serious.

Shen Sheng asked, "Which two died?" ”

The leader of the heart replied: "Yi Haiyuan in the Ministry of Literature and Literature, and Bai Fucheng in the Ministry of Rites. ”

Among the officials and the other in the ceremonial department, these two people are enough to be among the best even in more than 20 families.

Especially Na Yi Haiyuan, who is in charge of major events such as official promotion and transfer.

Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "When did you die?" How did you die? ”

Without thinking, the leader of the heart hurriedly replied: "It was around noon today, Yi Haiyuan died of hanging, and Bai Fucheng died of accidental drowning. ”

"Hanging, accidental drowning?" Xu Yi muttered in a low voice when he heard this.

Around noon, this time should be the time when Zhan Zhufang walked out of the palace gate.

Zhan Zhu walked out of the palace gate with his front foot, and one of the two Lang Zhong on his back foot hanged himself, and the other died due to an "accident".

At this time, it is too "coincidence".

Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally, and then asked, "What is the reaction of the Yi Bai family now?" ”

The leader of the heart of conscience replied: "Now the entire Yi family, because the position of the head of the family has become a mess. ”

"In the mourning hall, there are even more servants in between, and there is no trace of the Yi family's bloodline."

"As for the Bai family, the situation is slightly better, but it's not much better."

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, many times the bigger the family, the weaker the family relationship will become.

Heaven is like this, how can these big and small families not be.

"What about the rest of the families?" Xu Yi froze and asked again.

The leader of the heart replied: "When the subordinates arrived, they did not see the heads of the family, and they did not notice anything unusual from the family members and servants in the house. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Haven't you seen all the family heads?" ”

The Leader of the Conscience nodded heavily, and confirmed, "None of them have been seen." ”

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, obviously, there will be many people in Chang'an City tonight who can't sleep all night.

After all, the restrictions are still too great, and if there are no restrictions, the Conscience Baiwei can stare at those family heads for twelve hours a day.

Even how much water they drink, how much they eat, and how many trips they go to the thatched hut in a day can be clearly known.

Xu Yi settled down and asked again: "All consciences have returned?" ”

The leader of the heart of conscience nodded heavily and said, "Go back to the little master, all come back." ”

Xu Yi nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, in the next few days, take a good rest and rest, let's go." ”

"Obey." The Leader of the Conscience bowed and whispered in response.

Then he slowly turned around and left the inner room.

When all is calm again.

Xu Yi stared at the oil lamp shining with a glimmer of light on the wooden table, and suddenly grinned silently.

I muttered in my heart, "Enjoy the next torment." ”

The moment the holy decree arrived in Xu Yi's hands, the situation had been turned upside down.

It can also be simply understood as - attack and defense are easy to shape.

......

Nothing was said all night.

The next day.

It was just dawn.

Xu Yi, who was full of energy, slowly walked out of the main house.

After a brief wash, he turned around and walked into the study.

Not long after he walked into the study, a group of ladies of the Wang family slowly walked out of the door.

Obviously, this has become a tacit understanding between Xu Yi and them.

Inside the study.

Xu Yi slowly put out his starting hand, with the daughter of the Wang family here, it must not be convenient to get up early to practice martial arts.

。

But this is not the case with these eight vajra exercises.

It doesn't have too many requirements for the environment and space.

You can practice in the small forests in the mountains, in your own yard, and even in the bedroom and study.

After several times of the eight vajra exercises.

Xu Yi slowly withdrew his hand, turned his head and glanced at the leak.

While there was still some time, he slowly walked to the table.

Grinding ink, laying paper, sitting down, lifting the pen, all in one go.

It didn't take a while.

The general scene within thirty miles outside the Xuanping Gate appeared on the paper.

Xu Yi held the wolf pen in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

The scenes after the sunrise in the city flashed quickly in my mind.

The various places where the victims gathered, and the places where each soup kitchen was located.

Even the location of every thatched house built by Zhou Qiping.

All of them appeared in his mind very clearly.

A moment later.

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and slowly drew various symbols from the paper with great seriousness.

Some symbols represent thatched houses, some represent gathering places for refugees, and some represent porridge sheds.

After a while, the rice paper was densely covered with all kinds of symbols.

An incomparably detailed map was born.

Xu Yi frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment.

Slowly remove the map and place it in the upper left corner of the bookcase.

Then the paper was relaid and repainted.

Time always passes quietly without even noticing.

When Xu Yi put down the wolf pen in his hand, the time was already approaching.

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and then looked at the second picture very solemnly.

It is the same as the first Kanyu map, and the painting is still outside the Xuanping Gate.

It's just that this time the characters on the paper are much more regular and pleasing to the eye than the previous picture.

Allow the ink to dry.

Xu Yi solemnly put away the two pictures, and then slowly walked out of the study.

After a few simple meals, he walked quickly to the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.

......

Today's Jingzhao Mansion lobby is particularly noisy.

A group of officials took advantage of Xu Yi and the time to be free.

Gather in twos and threes to talk about yesterday's harvest.

Everyone's face was filled with a heartfelt smile.

Even Huo Chenghu and Zhang Kaiyuan are no exception.

In the huge lobby of Jingzhao Mansion, only one person stood alone.

He bows his head slightly, so that others cannot see his face.

No one paid attention to him, and he never took the initiative to pay attention to others. Error-free updates @

And that person is the Yushitai Chang Shuirong.

Chang Shuirong lowered his head slightly, but his eyes swept over the leaks in the lobby from time to time.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Chang Shuirong muttered to himself in his heart.

Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer, Chang Shuirong's heart became more and more excited.

I couldn't help but think of the news from that person I received on the way to Jingzhao Mansion.

"At all costs, grab Xu Yi's handle, even the most insignificant handle."

Chang Shuirong froze, and the corners of his eyes swept over the leak again.

Deep down, I want to rush over right now and shake that damn leak desperately.

"It's coming, it's coming! 100 breaths! Stream faster! Hurry up! Faster! Unconsciously, Chang Shuirong's body trembled slightly.

Cease! ”

"Thirty breaths!"

"Xu Yi hasn't arrived yet! And the last ten breaths! ”

"Eight, Seven, Six"

"Four!"

Seeing that the leak is about to arrive at the halfway point of the hour! Chang Shuirong couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"Three!"

"Two!"

Just when "One" was about to blurt out.

There was a voice in the door that he never wanted to hear in his life.

"Chang Shilang, it's about to be ordered, what kind of system are you yelling at again?" At the moment when the leak completely entered the middle of the hour, Xu Yi strode into the lobby.

。

"Huh?!" Chang Shuirong raised his head suddenly, and an extremely disgusted figure instantly appeared in his eyes.

In an instant, Chang Shui Rongzhi felt that the sky was spinning, and the person in his eyes seemed to be able to split into two identical people as if he knew how to do demon magic!

One breath!

It's just one breath away!

With just one breath, he can use the topic to play and turn small things into big things!

Eventually, the matter became known all over the city.

"Bang!" A bang.

Chang Shuirong sat down on the ground with a slump in his ass, his eyes glazed, and he kept whispering in his mouth: "One breath, only one breath." ”

Xu Yi frowned slightly and slowly stepped forward, waiting to hear Chang Shuirong's words clearly.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the leak on the side.

At this time, Xu Yi still didn't understand what was going on.

I couldn't help but sneer in my heart: "The child's family-like means also want to bring me down? ”

Xu Yi slowly walked towards the table.

When he slowly sat down in the Taishi chair.

In the entire lobby, except for Chang Shuirong, who was sitting on the ground.

No one else made the slightest sound.

Moreover, it seems that Chang Shuirong's whispering is so harsh.

Xu Yi slowly picked up the shocking wood that he had never used.

Hold it high.

Then he slapped heavily on the table.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang and exploded in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.

The sound echoed for a long time.

Chang Shuirong, who was originally sitting on the ground, was suddenly slammed from the ground by the sight, "Teng!" He stood up.

A shock! Chang Shuirong, who was shocked, completely came back to his senses at the same time.

A thick sickly red appeared on Yizhen's face.

Chang Shuirong covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Xu Yi with the other, and the wicked man complained first: "The sixth prince!! ”

Don't wait for Chang Shuirong to blurt out the words completely.

Xu Yi interrupted unceremoniously: "Someone! ”

In a flash! Huo Chenghu of the Criminal Department! Torture chamber direction loyalty! Hurry up and pay respect! Zhuang Ban Tian Shuliang! Soap Ban Wen Boxing!

At the same time, the footsteps retreated uncontrollably.

The natural reaction that had just been frightened had long since been replaced by a thick sense of fear.

Xu Yi looked at Chang Shuirong and pulled out a piece of arrow suddenly! Throw it to the ground!

shouted in his mouth: "Take Chang Shuirong down for me!" ”

The arrow has not yet landed.

After all, it was Huo Chenghu and Xiang Zhong who moved faster.

The two escorted Chang Shuirong to the center of the lobby.

Xu Yi said with full momentum: "As a court official!" Disrupting the order of the lobby several times! He even roared at the chief! ”

"If I don't teach you some lessons today! All men will imitate you one day! How can this Jingzhao Mansion order exist! How can there be humility! ”

Don't wait for Chang Shuirong to argue loudly.

Xu Yi dropped an arrow again! Said sharply: "Hit the *** board!" Set an example! ”

"Obey!" Xu Yi's voice fell.

The three who failed to grab the capture quickly rushed out of the lobby.

Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang snatched two water and fire sticks from the hands of the soap class officials outside the lobby! Then quickly return to the lobby.

Wen Boxing looked at the backs of the two of them quickly returning, and for a while he wanted to cry without tears!

Obviously, obviously he is the head of the soap class! This execution is his duty!

Without having time to think about it, Wen Boxing quickly rushed off the platform.

After a while, he ran back with a bench in his arms, sweating profusely.

At this time, in the lobby, Huo Chenghu and Xiang Zhong had already pressed Chang Shuirong to the ground.

Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang even raised the water and fire sticks in their hands.

If it's a step late.

Wen Boxing didn't dare to think about it, and shouted again and again: "The bench is here!" The bench is coming! Put on the bench to hit! In this way, the execution will conform to the rules! ”

Xu Yi lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

As for putting it on the bench to fight before it agrees with the rules? Not very so.

However, it hurts the most to hit on the bench, which Xu Yi is very clear about. @

Without him, suffer.

It's just a different point.

Huo Chenghu, as a member of the Criminal Department, is naturally very aware of this.

Zhong glanced slightly towards the side.

Xiang Zhong understood in an instant.

The two of them worked together to lift Chang Shuirong from the ground and place it on the bench.

One holds down the neck, the other holds the legs.

Seeing this, Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang nodded to each other, and then spit into their palms.

He raised his water and fire stick in the air again.

"One!"

"Two!"

The water and fire stick brought up the remnants of the Dao and landed heavily on Chang Shuirong's buttocks. _o_m

Chang Shuirong, who had been constantly shouting that he had been wronged, instantly let out a terrible scream.

These two sticks! But there was no mercy.

"Three!"

"Four!"

Qu Jingyi and Tian Shuliang were each with a stick, and they both gritted their teeth and waved fiercely!

Take sides! Sometimes it's a subject too!

At the very least, today we have made our position clear with concrete actions.

Ten sticks down, Chang Shuirong's terrible screams were already weak.

Twelve sticks down! Chang Shuirong had already fainted.

Xu Yi coughed lightly twice, and the two people who were executed below instantly retracted most of their strength.

The last eight sticks seemed to be extremely heavy, but in fact there was no damage at all.

It can be seen that life is really full of learning.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Carry it down and hand it over to the Tai Hospital!" ”

Even if Chang Shuirong didn't jump out today, Xu Yi would find a way to make it jump out.

Without him, no one wants to follow an eyeliner all the time.

After this incident, Chang Shuirong couldn't get out of bed for at least a few days!

As for killing Chang Shuirong?

Xu Yi had never thought of it like this.

Compared with unknown opponents, he prefers Chang Shuirong, an idiot.

Although Chang Shuirong is a little disgusting, he is stupid enough!

"Ahem!" Xu Yi cleared his throat, and the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion instantly returned to a state where the needle could be heard.

Xu Yi slowly swept over the officials below.

Then he commanded: "Today everything is business as usual except for the workshop!" ”

After the words fell, Xu Yi waved his hand, and everyone instantly saluted and retired.

Hu Yuanchu, the master of the workshop, and the workshop warden looked at each other in confusion.

Xu Yi looked at Hu Yuanchu and said calmly: "Master Hu, if you are given two hours of time, how many craftsmen can you gather." ”

Hu Yuanchu settled down, stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Dare to ask what kind of craftsman your lord needs." ”

"Carpenter." Xu Yi said slowly.

Hu Yuanchu pondered for a while, and bowed again: "Lord Hui, there are more than 1,000 registered carpenters in the workshop, excluding some of the old and infirm, and 800 people should be able to be gathered. ”

"But these 800 carpenters aren't too skilled."

"If the adults need it, recruit some fast horses to summon them, and the subordinates will definitely be able to summon them all within two hours!"

In the final analysis, because it is located in Beijing, all those with superb craftsmanship will go directly to the Ministry of Industry to register and make a register after crossing Jingzhao Mansion.

And some people who still have dreams in their hearts are naturally reluctant to register in Jingzhao Mansion.

After all, once the registration is made, the ownership is completely determined, and in the future, it will be extremely difficult to go to the Ministry of Industry to register and make a record.

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, eight hundred people seemed like a lot, but it was still far from enough.

As for going to the Ministry of Industry to ask for it?

Unless Emperor Zhengde personally spoke, the Ministry of Industry would never give him a person.

Xu Yi slowly picked up the pen and wrote an order, and after stamping the seal.

It was handed to Zhao Shou, and then passed to Hu Yuanchu.

Xu Yi said slowly: "Immediately hold the order, mobilize fast horses, and recruit carpenters!" ”

"All the carpenters who have come to the draft, every day! No need to bring your own dry food! ”

"At the same time, a notice will be issued! Jingzhao Mansion recruits a large number of carpenters! Anyone who has passed the craft! You can arrive outside the Xuanping Gate in time to wait! Those who are drafted do not need to bring dry rations! Three wages per day! ”

。

"If you choose to register! then equal to others! ”

Hu Yuanchu instantly became excited when he heard this, and bowed again and again: "Subordinates obey the order!" ”

The gap may not seem high, but don't forget that this is a day's wage, and the gap will increase over time!

And after this incident, the Jingzhao Mansion Workshop is bound to grow stronger and stronger! @Β·error-free start~~
