After a while, the three of them swept away the food in front of them.

Xu Jing sat on one side and lowered his head thinking about something.

"Your Majesty?"

Jiang Ni shouted cautiously.

"Huh? It seems that this food is very pleasing to you. In a moment, one was swept away. ”

Xu Jing looked up and saw the clean plate, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The three of them bowed their heads and blushed, they didn't retain any image in front of Xu Jing.

"It has to be as delicious as His Majesty's cooking."

Concubine Xiao lowered her head and whispered.

"It's okay, if you like it, I'll do it for you more in the future."

Xu Jing replied with a smile.

I didn't think it was strange for the three of them to gobble up like this.

"Really?"

The eyes of the three of them lit up slightly, and they were all happy.

"Naturally, when did I deceive you?"

Xu Jing nodded, rubbed Yingzhu's head and replied gently.

The three of them nodded again and again, secretly speculating in their hearts for a while about how delicious and novel dishes Xu Jing would serve next.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jinyiwei."

Xu Jing and the three concubines kept warm for a while, until late at night, when Gonggong Cao came to the Yanzheng Hall with a solemn expression.

"Tell me?"

Xu Jing nodded and motioned for Gonggong Cao to continue.

"We have been tracking for five days, and we have determined the location of the hidden pile in the capital."

"These killer organizations are stationed in more than one place in the capital, so in order not to startle the snakes, we will divide into two waves to search for each other."

"Seven strongholds have been found inside and outside the capital."

Gonggong Cao reported the news of the past few days one by one.

"Seven? Interesting, this group of thieves is really bold enough, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they dare to act like this? ”

Xu Jing sneered, he could predict that the killer organization that dared to take over the assassination of the nobles of the court was definitely not an ordinary person.

But he didn't think about it, there are as many as seven such hidden piles in the capital.

It's hard to imagine what a huge number of killers behind such hidden stakes will be.

"Can you find out how many killers are among them?"

Xu Jing put down the book in his hand and continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, no."

Gonggong Cao glanced at Xu Jing with an embarrassed face, shook his head and replied.

"None? Let's talk about why. ”

Hearing that Jin Yiwei had not found out the number of killers hidden in the capital, Xu Jing faintly felt angry.

Motioned to Gonggong Cao to explain.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that Jinyi Wei can't find out the number of hidden killers among them."

"It's that most of the hidden piles have not continued to count the number of killers who come to take orders."

Feeling Xu Jing's anger, Cao Gong hurriedly explained.

"It seems that there is more than one family in the dark pile, and the number of internal killers is no less than one hundred and thirty."

"As for being idle at the moment, the number of free orders is even more difficult to estimate."

"In the past few days, the Jinyi Guard has been tight, and finally, the number of killers who can be determined to come into contact with the hidden pile is no less than a thousand!"

Gonggong Cao lowered his voice and carefully explained.

But the huge number made Xu Jing frown slightly: "How much?" Thousands? Are you saying that there are more than a thousand assassins in this capital? ”

Xu Jing suddenly felt a chill sweep through his body.

In this Daqian capital, the royal land.

The most terrifying place of Xu Jing's dominance was that there were no less than a thousand assassins.

This kind of news is tantamount to Xu Jing learning that there is a rat in and out of this East Palace.

Maybe these thousand assassins couldn't really kill Xu Jing, but there was a big rat on the side of the couch, and no one could tolerate it.

"Not all of these assassins are highly skilled martial artists."

"Most of them are ordinary peddlers and pawns, and martial arts are commonplace."

"These assassins are numerous, but they are nothing."

Gonggong Cao knew that Xu Jing was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly spoke.

"Do you think this is what I care about?"

"An organization of this magnitude has always existed, and I don't know anything about it, which is the most terrifying thing!"

"There are indeed not many martial arts masters in the capital today."

"But who's to say that these ordinary peddlers and pawns are not a weapon of murder?"

Xu Jing's eyes were cold, he took a step forward, walked in front of Gonggong Cao, and asked in a low voice.

Gonggong Cao was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

As Xu Jing asked, these seemingly ordinary pawns of peddlers cannot be ignored.

In a pervasive environment, even a child can become a murderous weapon! Not to mention a group of adult people.

"Arrange the brocade guards to monitor the seven hidden piles day and night."

"If it is determined that there are only seven hidden piles in the capital, then the net will be closed."

Xu Jing's tone was cold, and he did not tolerate such an assassin organization hidden in the capital.

"Your Majesty, you don't plan to wait any longer?"

Xu Jing was so anxious, and Gonggong Cao immediately asked.

Xu Jing initially arranged Jinyiwei to investigate the matter, but it was to find out Xiao Daoling's deal with him.

But now, before there is any news about this layer, Xu Jing is about to close the net, and Grandpa Cao is naturally anxious.

If he can use this to completely bring down a big prime minister, his momentum is far beyond the ability to clean up a small killer organization.

"That old fox, once upon a time with a ponytail?"

"After tracking for so long, he must have been prepared, and it is only difficult to find out some rumors from it."

Xu Jing shook his head slightly, nine times out of ten, he couldn't make the trip to find out Xiao Daoling's guilt through this killer organization.

"No."

Gonggong Cao was slightly disappointed, nodded and slowly left the East Palace.

"Don't worry, I will give you a lot."

Xu Jing called out to Gonggong Cao and said in a low voice.

"The old slave understands."

Gonggong Cao nodded, and left the Hall of Words and Politics tremblingly.

On the other hand, Xiaofu, which has been silent for a long time, is also a little more popular today.

Several Xiao family members who had returned from Danzhou stood in front of Xiao Daoling.

"Uncle, you expected it right. Indeed, His Majesty has a great deal of regard for this lawless land. ”

"In the past few days, His Majesty's layout in Danzhou has made some gains, and the local people have stabilized their livelihoods by relying on big potatoes and breadfruit."

】

"Even, if you can sell these two everywhere, the income will definitely not be less."

One of the young men of the Xiao family bowed his head and said.

"Well, the old man already knew about it. How is the arrangement in Danzhou. ”

Xiao Daoling nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly.

"It has been effective, since Lin Hai took office, it is not small to set off a storm in this Danzhou land."

"The local nobles have a lot of opinions about this new Zhizhou lord."

"We will take this opportunity to attract a lot of noble families, just wait for the uncle's order, and then we can act."

The young man of the Xiao family continued.

"Very good, go back and tell the third room. As long as this matter is done well enough, the old man will definitely let you wait for your wishes in the future. ”

Xiao Daoling nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

When the young man of the Xiao family heard this, he nodded excitedly: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
