In the northwest corner of the imperial capital, there is a huge Xie Valve Mansion.

The waterfowl in the lake frolic and the shore is tinglan.

There are huge rocks at the water's edge, and on the rocks there is Xie Lingxiao, who is leisurely cross-legged on a futon woven of flax and pampas.

Xie Wuyi stood behind Xie Lingxiao, Haojie's hands naturally placed on the old man's shoulders, and gently kneaded:

"Grandpa, do you mean that this investigation led by Qinghui and Welling is actually dispensable? Is this really how Lord Xiao understands this matter? ”

Xie Wuyi's expression was a little lonely and disappointed.

"Hey, silly girl, that's not what Grandpa meant, I've already hinted at you a lot." The old man was a little helpless, but his tone was doting.

"What do you mean by that, the so-called secrets you mentioned have nothing to do with our group's investigation, or do you always give your favorite granddaughter a look?"

Xie Wuyi shook the old man's shoulders and let the old man's head go little by little.

"Hahaha, don't shake it, the old bones are going to be shaken away for you."

Xie Wuyi sneered:

"Grandpa, how can it be so exaggerated, I'm just worried about the end of the investigation, I have nothing to do, and I'm stuck in this tired imperial capital, it's not fun at all.

Grandpa, think about it, if you stay at home all the time and don't go anywhere, at most you can only talk to a few people in the imperial capital, will it be boring after a long time? ”

Da Fengzi smiled bitterly:

"Yes, yes, yes, what our Nizi said is right...... I revealed to you a little bit of the grievances between the imperial family and the Murong family, which is actually related to your matter.

Let's put it this way, in fact, in the empire, you don't know, many wealthy families with not very good strength, they can't keep up with the four major lords and the eight great families in terms of status and strength, but they surpass us in terms of enjoyment.

They have many servants from Xixuan, as well as those reception maids with special missions, all of whom were brought from the west by the Murong family, and they have been doing this kind of shady thing since the establishment of the empire. ”

Xie Wuyi suddenly:

"Then the empire allows such a hurtful thing to exist?"

Xie Lingxiao smiled bitterly:

"Why not allow it? When a country is big, the strong are like forests, the imperial family and the major families share the world, there must be differences in moral standards and standards of good and evil, so we cannot use our standards to force consistency.

In order to show their status and privileges, those people did not dare to harm the people of the Great Xia tribe, so they could only retreat to the next best thing and buy the people of the Xixuan tribe, and the empire turned a blind eye to this and acquiesced.

You didn't see this, it's also because the status of the four great lords is high, so you don't need to do it, and others do this, of course you don't think it's good, in fact, in those eight great families, they all secretly purchased young and beautiful Xixuan women, handsome young men, in case of emergency......"

Xie Wuyi frowned, a little depressed:

"Then, there must be exchanges, and there will inevitably be a demand for oriental women or teenagers over there, so the Murong family has become the dirtiest traffickers, with Bohu County and Kela as transit points? Xuan Ming and Nanxing, they just happened to meet at the right time? ”

Xie Lingxiao nodded:

"The general direction is like this, but Xuanming Nanxing is different, and they are traded as resources with special warlock potential."

"The Empire can even tolerate this? The original activation rate of the warlock is not high, this is the foundation of the empire! ”

Xie Wuyi inadvertently had a little more power in his hands.

"Ahh......h Of course, the empire will not allow it, so the Nanxing Shanglu and Jinu were rescued, so they took advantage of the situation to have your investigation team. ”

"Then why pause, why did Lord Xiao let us be silent?"

Xie Lingxiao smiled bitterly, turned his head slightly, and looked at his granddaughter:

"Alas, if that kid Welling was here, he wouldn't have asked so many questions at all, maybe I only need to say a few keywords, and he will be connected himself!"

"Hey, grandpa, I'm your own granddaughter, stupid and stupid, but I'm a caring person!" Xie Wuyi's fingers seemed to be a little stronger.

"Good, good, lovely granddaughter...... I'll tell you thoroughly.

With the easing of the conflict between the East and the West, and it can even be said that the West has retreated completely, His Majesty will inevitably take advantage of the situation to solve some hidden dangers, which is related to the official reform that I reminded you at the beginning.

Since that family has a bad record, the management of the empire that has been comprehensively expanded this time may exclude them.

Will Your Majesty give them more official positions so that they can do these things?

Do you think that the Imperial Imperial Lieutenant Office and the Imperial Historical Observatory specially issued a letter of admonition to the Gusu Murong clan, and this is the end?

Their head of the family personally endorsed it, and it was not enough to promise to rectify and rectify......

If I'm not mistaken, I just look at the attitude of the other party after the reform of the bureaucratic system, and if the other party accepts his fate, then your group will definitely be abolished.

If the other person reacts inappropriately, your group will be strengthened, and maybe even other things will be investigated. ”

The fingers on the shoulder stopped.

Xie Lingxiao looked back at the good granddaughter.

Xie Wuyi was suddenly, but a little gloomy:

"Thank you grandpa for solving your doubts, my granddaughter finally understands the way here.

For people at the bottom, I just hope that I am lucky enough not to become an outcast on the wheel of fortune, and not to become a pawn on the high-level chessboard, which is already a luxury......

I remember that there was a saying from the old times, that every grain of dust of history fell on every individual, and it was as heavy as a mountain. ”

Xie Lingxiao nodded, looking pleased:

"Therefore, this requires that the superior should be matched with virtue and ability, and strive to protect the people, protect every beauty in this world, and let less historical dust fall on the heads of any Xuanming, Nanxing and others."

Xie Wuyi was stunned, sat beside her grandfather, and watched the waterfowl frolicking in the lake.

After a moment, she burst into laughter:

"Grandpa, you must know Welling's background, tell me secretly!"

When Xie Lingxiao thought of Wei Ling's appearance, his eyes suddenly flashed with color.

However, he himself was not aware of it at all, and he had some doubts in his heart, and he always felt that Wei Ling was familiar, but he suddenly didn't know where he had seen it.

So, Xie Valve owner shook his head slightly:

"I remember, even the Iasi Commander Bai Su asked me, should I know? I don't know. ”

……

To the east of the imperial capital, the Zheng mansion in Xingyang.

Under the huge plaque that hangs "Far Away from the Central Plains", in the study on one side of the hall.

The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, a sturdy middle-aged man with dark red hair, with slightly smaller eyes, stared at the woman sitting opposite.

The woman's facial features are beautiful, her charm still exists, and the broken eyebrows slightly destroy the beauty of her face, even so, this pleasant face has also made Zheng Li obsessed.

Now, all that's left is a mutual support of the stakeholders.

"Master, have you ever been sure that you will go to the imperial capital?"

Zheng Li's expression changed, but he didn't have the slightest confidence:

"Leave it to fate, if the rumors are true, the imperial management will increase so many positions, with my Zheng clan's ability alone, it is really not optimistic.

In recent years, many opportunities have not been well grasped, and the battle of Iasi turned out to be a no-...... harvest."

Murong Chanyi's expression was also a little gloomy.

Zheng Li became more and more irritable, and his red hair trembled slightly:

"Whether it will be affected by your Murong clan's incident a few months ago, I can't be sure.

Speaking of which, more than 100 years after the founding of the empire, the glory of the Taiwei Mansion and the Imperial History Table's admonition letter is only enjoyed twice by your Gusu Murong......

Your head of the family even personally endorsed and promised to rectify and rectify......

I feel ashamed, except for those industries that can't see the light, in mining, technology, catering, medical care, construction, transportation, etc., no matter which one, can you have a place? ”

The woman trembled slightly, but did not reply.

"In my opinion, in a few years, your Murong clan will be removed from the Eight Great Families, if you don't believe it, we'll see!"

Murong Chan's body was stunned, but he stood up firmly and looked at Zheng Li's eyes:

"Yes, what the husband said is true, but the slave family believes that the Murong clan will not accept his fate!"

Zheng Li showed a mocking smile:

"So what? Could it be that you, the Murong clan, dare to wrestle with such a powerful empire? ”

The woman smiled bitterly:

The husband laughed, as far as the limited wisdom of the slave family is concerned, they all know that this is hitting a stone with an egg, and it is ridiculous to have such an idea that does not know how to measure himself.

Therefore, today, the mother's family gathered all the children of the Murong family to return to Gusu to discuss the revitalization plan. ”

Zheng Zhen nodded:

"You can just go back, and you can give advice.

However, don't bring Zheng Jian back, after all, his surname is Zheng, although he has become a non-human and ghost, once he appears in your Murong clan's council hall, it will more or less affect the Zheng clan. ”

The woman sighed gloomily and was silent.

……

Welling and his entourage, who stayed in Li Valve's mansion, in addition to going to the East Market that day, also went to the "Weiyang Enchantment" in the following days, watched the majesty of the tower, and went to the playground in the West Market to play with the children.

All the arrangements are decent, and there is no place where the bad young man in the mouth of Eighteen Lang should go, and even on this day, Shougong smiled and threw a message to Wei Ling and Eighteen Lang:

"Childe, I seem to have heard Eighteen Lang say before, Pingkangfang is more fun, why don't you go and have fun, and I'll take Xuanming and them to other places?"

Li Lingyou smiled awkwardly:

"Hehe, hehe, the palace girl, there is nothing to play in Pingkangfang, I used to just go to drink and listen to small songs or something."

Shougong was a little confused and continued to ask:

"How did I hear that the apricot blossom girl with the red sleeves is married, is this red sleeve move also in Pingkangfang?"

Li Lingyou was a little deflated, and didn't dare to speak, so he said to him left and right:

"Alas, I want to take you to Soaring, but once the palace guard is shot, the masters of the entire imperial capital will be slapped in the face, there is no suspense, it is still the same annoying, don't go......

Why don't we climb Taibai Mountain? ”

Shougong pursed his lips and rejected this suggestion:

"To the west of Iasi, the mountains are tall and towering, and the snow does not melt all year round, this is too white mountain to be much shorter, what can be fun.

Why don't you go to Yongxingfang and taste your 50-year-old Taibai? ”

Li Lingyou was speechless again, and looked at Wei Ling with a wry smile.

Is tasting good wine really just drinking?

Welling looked at the palace with a smile and shook his head slightly.

At this moment, Shougong suddenly looked a little strange, and Ai Ai threw out a message:

Yang Xiaoyu ...... Ask me out to hang out! ”

Li Lingyou and Wei Ling's expressions were even stranger than those of Shougong.

Li Lingyou didn't dare to have any expression, turned around and ran.

"Why don't you go? I'm with Xuan Ming? ”
