Chapter 83 Provisions
"Yun Yi, who was looking for you just now?"
Seeing Yun Yi returning from outside, Zheng Shiying, who was packing up her things, stopped what she was doing and asked suspiciously.
Due to the hard-won work, Yun Yi had never asked for leave from work before, but today he has twice in a row, which is very strange.
"A relative from other places came over and asked me to help him buy some things! Please forgive me!" Yun Yi said apologetically and slightly nervously.
Zheng Shiying shook her head with a smile and said, "I'll just ask casually, you don't have to care!"
For this apprentice, Zheng Shiying is very satisfied, diligent and capable, and the key is very smart. As long as Yun Yi is willing to stay in the Xuanji Pavilion, his future achievements will definitely surpass him.
"It's almost time! You can pack up and go back! I haven't been particularly busy lately, if you really have something to do, you can rest for a day tomorrow!"
"No, no!"
Yun Yi hurriedly waved his hand.
Seeing Yun Yi's reaction, Zheng Shiying smiled and didn't care.
When the two of them packed up their things and were about to leave together, the four guards of the Xuanji Pavilion with serious expressions and deep breaths walked quickly to the door of the room where Zheng Shiying was.
"Captain Shi, who are you?"
Seeing Shi Zhen, the guard leader standing at the door, with a rough face and a steel beard, Zheng Shiying looked puzzled.
Yun Yi on the side was weak as a thief, his body was unconsciously tense, and his face pretended to be confused.
Shi Zhen's face was expressionless, and a pair of tiger eyes looked back and forth on Zheng Shiying and Yun Yi before he spoke: "Master Zheng, the chief manager asked you to go over! He also specially explained, bring your apprentice! It's called Yun Yi, right?"
"Lord Steward looking for me? Do you want to bring Yun Yi?"
Zheng Shiying felt even more puzzled.
The chief manager is the supreme leader of the Xuanji Pavilion in Aoki County, and he is separated from Zheng Shiying by several levels, and the two have never had a direct communication except for occasionally meeting and saying hello.
The current head of Aoki County has just been transferred in recent years, and Zheng Shiying is even less familiar with him.
"In that case, please ask Captain Shi to lead the way!"
Although he had doubts in his heart, Yun Yi nodded and agreed, of course, he did not have the ability to disobey.
Could it be that the news of the Fruit of the Earth has leaked?
It's impossible, it's only been a few days? I'm very careful every time, and Luo Feirong also intends to help me cover up, how can I find out so quickly?
It must be something else, it must be that I overthought it!
At this time, Yun Yi's mind was engaged in a battle between heaven and man, and he tried his best not to let himself think in a bad place.
Yun Yi followed behind Zheng Shiying step by step, and the four guards occupied four directions, faintly surrounding the two in the middle.
Zheng Shiying didn't feel anything about the guard's position, he was thinking about what the manager was looking for him.
And Yun Yi, who noticed the guard's position, kept sinking his heart. This was clearly preventing the two of them from escaping, or rather, preventing him from escaping. The captain of the guard named Shi Zhen, the afterglow lingered on him almost all the time.
I must have thought too much! No! No!
Yun Yi tried his best to comfort himself in his heart, but his hands trembled unconsciously, and even his steps seemed to become extremely difficult.
His mind began to appear non-stop, and when he entered the Xuanji Pavilion, he memorized the rules that had been recited.
In this world, there is no equality for all, let alone human rights, and those regulations are quite cruel.
"Yun Yi, what's wrong with you?
Zheng Shiying, who inadvertently noticed Yun Yi's abnormality, stopped and asked.
Seeing Zheng Shiying stop, Shi Zhen unconsciously put his hand on the handle of the knife entwined with gold wire, and his tiger eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's okay! it's okay!" Yun Yiqiang said with a smile.
"Oh!"
Seeing that Yun Yi was unharmed, Zheng Shiying continued to walk forward without asking too much. Shi Zhen also let down his guard and led the way in front.
A group of six people soon arrived at the upper floor of the Xuanji Pavilion, a room hidden in the center.
Shi Zhen stepped forward and knocked on the door, and respectfully shouted into the room, "Master Chen, Master Zheng and his apprentice have brought it!"
"Let them in!"
A deep male voice came from the room, and his tone was calm and reserved.
Creak!
Shi Zhen pushed open the door and made a false gesture towards Zheng Shiying.
Zheng Shiying was polite, and walked in, and Yun Yi, who followed him, clenched his fists and froze at the door, unexpectedly hesitating.
"Huh?"
Seeing Yun Yi's abnormality, Shi Zhen gestured to the guard behind him, and the guard understood, put his hand on Yun Yi's shoulder, and suddenly pushed him in.
Yun Yi, who didn't have much kung fu foundation, rushed in with a stumble, if he hadn't happened to be blocked by Zheng Shiying, he would probably have fallen.
"Captain Shi, how can you do this?!"
Zheng Shiying helped Yun Yi, with a hint of anger on her face. The guard who pushed just now was obviously a little excessive.
Facing Zheng Shiying's questioning, Shi Zhen ignored him at all, stepped forward and bowed to the middle-aged man who was sitting at the table and flipping through the books.
"Your Excellency!"
"Hmm!"
Hearing Shi Zhen's words, the middle-aged man put down the book and set his eyes on Zheng Shiying and Yun Yi.
The middle-aged man is dressed as a showman, with an elegant temperament and a warm and moist jade, giving people a taste of reading poetry and books.
The middle-aged man's name is Chen Qianyang, a disciple of Xuanji Pavilion, and he is also the chief steward of Aoki County.
Although they didn't see each other much, Zheng Shiying still knew his boss in the top capital, and after he helped Yun Yi up, he also politely saluted Chen Qianyang.
"Master Zheng, is this the apprentice Yun Yi you brought?"
Chen Qianyang stood up, his face expressionless, and his tone was flat.
Hearing Chen Qianyang mention himself, Yun Yi gritted his teeth and shook his body unconsciously.
"Back to the manager, this is indeed my apprentice!"
Zheng Shiying was puzzled in her heart, listening to Chen Qianyang's meaning, it seemed that she was not looking for him, but more like looking for Yun Yi.
Hearing Zheng Shiying's confirmation, Chen Qianyang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't react much.
"A few days ago, you reported that you had identified a geocentric fruit, is it true?" asked Chen Qianyang.
"Uh? Yes, I made a note that day and handed it over to Steward Jia! Why did the chief manager ask this?" Zheng Shiying was a little strange, and didn't understand why Chen Qianyang mentioned this matter.
There is a rule in the Xuanji Pavilion that all treasures that exceed 10,000 taels must be recorded in the pavilion. It is convenient to keep a record, and on the other hand, it is also used as a follow-up reference.
Hearing the three words of the Earth Heart Fruit, Yun Yi was like being struck by lightning, lowering his head and being like a sieve of chaff, trembling constantly.
Facing Yun Yi's obvious abnormality, Chen Qianyang still didn't react much except for glancing at him.
"Master Zheng, do you remember our Xuanji Pavilion, the regulations on customer information?"
"Of course I do!"
Because Yun Yi was standing behind Zheng Shiying, Zheng Shiying did not notice Yun Yi's abnormality.
"Then please tell me, knowingly committed, how to punish it!"
Chen Qianyang's voice unconsciously became cold.
Hearing Chen Qianyang's attitude, Zheng Shiying couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, and faintly realized something.
"Dare to knowingly commit a crime, pull out your tongue! Gouge out your eyes! If you take a benefit, you must cut off your hands! Your Excellency, ask ......"
Zheng Shiying hadn't finished speaking, and the clues in her mind hadn't been cleared up. Suddenly, I heard a pop behind me. He looked back and found that Yun Yi was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and kept kowtowing.
Bang! bang
"My lord, my lord, I didn't mean to! I didn't mean to! I was forced to be helpless, you can spare me!"
No matter how precocious Yun Yi is, in the face of such torture, he is also frightened by the six gods and no master, and he only knows how to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Facing Yun Yi's pleading, Chen Qianyang was expressionless.
"This, this, this ......."
Seeing Yun Yi's actions, Zheng Shiying was a little panicked, and she stammered for a while, not knowing how to speak.
"My Xuanji Pavilion has been based in the world for three hundred and seventy years, not by force, not by wisdom, but by the credibility of a promise!
"The subordinates are here!"
"Pull people down and enforce the rules!"
Yun Yi's face was like ashes, and Zheng Shiying was paralyzed to the ground.
