There are about 20 people in yellow-veined Tsing Yi, and a man walked in the front and arched his hand: "Chi Hui, the celestial surveyor, I am honored to visit General Tianwei's mansion." "The man was in his thirties, of medium height, with a green crown on his head, a sash around his waist, two mustaches on his thin lips, a slight beard under his chin, a pointed nose, and a shiny eye.

"It turned out to be Lord Shang, who had admired the name for a long time. Dai Wanshan regained his composure and bowed back, "I don't know what advice the Lord of the Heavenly Inspectors has for visiting our mansion?"

Shang Chihui stretched out his right hand, twisted the tip of his beard, and said with a smile: "Passing by here, it is the right time to bring new people to have a long experience." Isn't General Dai welcome?"

"Of course welcome. Dai Wanshan also made a smile, "Today is a little girl's feast, and the more friends you have, the better." Stretched out his hand and pulled Dai Yue: "Yue'er, I've seen Lord Shang." ”

Dai Yue bowed and bowed: "Dai Yue has seen Lord Shang." ”

"Miss Dai really looks like the moon and the moon, and she is shocked, no wonder Zhong Huozi is interested when she sees it. Shang Chihui turned his head and said to a young man in yellow stripes and green clothes beside him, "Liu Quan, you can communicate more with Miss Dai in a while and ask for information about Zhong Huozi." ”

Liu Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Dai Wanshan's expression was immediately a little unhappy. When others came over, they all congratulated Dai Yue on her safe return, and no one mentioned the abduction, and Shang Chihui's words were tantamount to revealing people's scars. But the other party was a high-ranking official of the Heaven Survey Prison, acting on behalf of the Holy Prison Heaven, so he must not be offended, so he had to temporarily suppress his breath and said, "Your Excellency, let's go to the hall first." ”

The group returned to the living room, but there was no place for the Sky Survey Supervisor to sit in the hall. Dai Wanshan made another difficulty, if a single seat is not enough, just add a chair. However, the Sky Survey Prison must sit at the top, and now the top on the right is all friends of famous families in the rivers and lakes, and it will be greatly offended to let the family give up their seats. And the top left is full of brothers in the ranks, and they are even more embarrassed to speak.

Seeing her husband's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Dai turned her head to the generals and captains on the left and smiled, and said, "The banquet is imminent, and you must move tables and chairs from the back warehouse to the front yard, but there are not enough servants at home, and the maids are not so strong, how about the brothers go and help out?"

A general with a yellow beard got up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, how dare we disobey?" Brothers, go." The other generals and lieutenants also got up and followed General Yellowbeard out of the meeting room.

Dai Wanshan glanced at his wife gratefully, and then made a "please" gesture to the left head: "Please take a seat, Lord Surveyor." Shang Chihui, Liu Quan and the others sat in the positions given up by General Yellowbeard and his party.

On the right, a person suddenly said, "Brother Liu, we meet again." Liu Quan followed the prestige, and when he saw that it was Zheng Jitong, a disciple of the Yunmo Sect who had met in Purple Cloud City, he bowed his hand and said, "It turns out that Brother Zheng is also here. ”

Shang Chihui glanced at all kinds of people in the living room, and said with a smile: "General Dai is really broad. Not only did Tianya Pavilion and other friends from the rivers and lakes of the Tianzhou Sect come, but even the Yunmo Sect, the Yun Family of Liuyun City and other people from the rivers and lakes of Yunzhou also arrived. This is the 'Righteous Breaking the Clouds' Song Xiao Hero, and that is the 'Cloud Sea Jiaolong' Yun Moxuan family master. ”

Dai Wanshan's face changed when he heard this, the Dayu court has always disliked the close contacts between military attaches and generals from all over the country and the people in the rivers and lakes, and Shang Chihui's words were sharp and implied, so he almost said that he was "afraid of forming a party and plotting rebellion". was about to explain, but heard Song Xiao speak: "I heard that the thief who kidnapped Miss Dai and the thief who kidnapped my disciple are the same person, so I took the initiative to assist General Dai, instead of being invited by General Dai." ”

Sitting next to Song Xiao was Yun Moxuan, in his forties, with a clear face and dressed as a scribe, and he also said at this time: "I have a daughter who was almost poisoned by Zhong Huozi, and one son was killed by Zhong Huozi. To help General Dai is to help each other in the same boat. This Shang Master doesn't want to use the topic to play. ”

Most of the people in the hall know that among the three subordinate departments of the Guiyi Division, "Purple Guard", "Imperial Sword Hall", and "Sky Survey Prison", the Heaven Survey Prison is a monstrous power, and hundreds of civil and military officials are under its supervision. Now seeing that Shang Chihui hid his words from the beginning, he had a faint bad premonition.

Shang Chihui laughed, and turned to Liu Quan on the side and said, "Brother Liu, are you Yunzhou people so righteous?"

Liu Quan frowned slightly, and said: "Yunzhou is located in the north of the big river, vulgar and heavy-spirited, there are many generous and tragic people, the history records 'since ancient times, brave people, more out of Yunzhou'; in the previous dynasty, there were also literati Yun 'the land of Yunzhou, since ancient times, there are many heroes, and the names in the history of the picture are often '; such as 'the soldier dies for the confidant', 'the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will not return once he is gone', etc., all come from the Yunzhou heroic classics, and Yishui is the ...... of the Yemojiang River today."

"Needless to say, don't I know these things?" Shang Chihui first interrupted Liu Quan's words, and then said slowly while scanning everyone, "Although you friends are born in the rivers and lakes, you should also know that the righteousness of the rivers and lakes is just a small righteousness, for the country and the people, it is the great righteousness, and loyalty to the Son of Heaven is the greatest 'righteousness' - is anyone against it?"

The house was silent.

Shang Chihui was quite satisfied when he saw this, twisted his mustache again, and said, "Since you friends are willing to be guests of General Tianwei's mansion, it shows that General Dai is indeed good. But in a righteous sense......"

Dai Wanshan said unhappily: "Lord Shang, what do you mean by this? Although the last general is not talented, he is loyal to his duties, Tianwei City is safe, and the number of bandits around him is the largest in the southern city of Tianzhou. ”

"General Dai, don't worry? You don't let me finish my words, are you empty-hearted?" Shang Chihui laughed while twisting his beard, "Maybe you have done a good job in maintaining law and order in the territory, but I heard a report from the Daotai in this city that you are not doing well in the process of urging the laborers to dig the 'Tiandan Mine', and there is half a summer when the laborers escaped from the mine and ran to cut wheat, but is there such a thing?"

"It is true. ”

Dai Wanshan's voice was low.

Shang Chihui asked in his tone: "Why?"

Dai Wanshan said: "There are many locusts near Weicheng this summer, and if the wheat is not harvested in time, the crops will fail, but the tax has risen by half a cent compared with last year. ”

"You also released the prisoners who smuggled coal, can you do this?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?"

"Most of the coal has been requisitioned to refine Tiandan, and the price of the coal circulating in the market has risen more than five times compared with before, and many people can no longer afford to buy heating charcoal in winter, so it is understandable to buy and sell coal privately to make a living rather than for profit. ”

"Hmph, what a forgivable circumstance!" Shang Chihui stretched out his hand and patted a few cases next to him, shouting, "Do you know how serious your behavior is? This is not ordinary dereliction of duty, this is disregard for the king's law, disregard for the Son of Heaven!"

Dai Wanshan squeezed his fists, let go again, and said: "The last general is indeed too humane in some places, and he should bear the guilt, and he has no complaints whether he is demoted or punished. But please don't say that I ignore the law of the king and the Son of Heaven. ”

"Am I wrong?" Shang Chihui looked around at the people in the hall again, and said loudly, "If there is no Son of Heaven, there will be no Dayu, and without Dayu, can you sit here dressed brightly? Why does the Son of Heaven want to refine the Heavenly Pill? That is to prolong life and protect the society of the country forever! Without the society of the country, everyone and their wives and children will be slaves of foreigners! What is the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is the sun rising in the east, if there is no sun, how can there be crops? If there is no sun, every day of Dayu is a cold winter! Dai Wanshan is only for the crops of a few people, the warmth of a few people, he doesn't even care about the sun, and ignoring the Son of Heaven is tantamount to treason, which is simply a crime that cannot be punished!"

The hall was full of people who heard this, and their hearts were chilling. At first, I only thought that Dai Wanshan had gathered a large number of people in the rivers and lakes, and the Sky Survey Supervisor came to warn him, but now it seems that the situation is much worse, and Dai Wanshan's situation is very bad.

Dai Wanshan's face was pale, but he couldn't think of anything to refute for a while. Dai Yue couldn't help but say: "You, why did you put such a hat on my father? It's just that you let a few laborers go home to cut wheat and put a few charcoal sellers, and when you come here, it will become a crime of treason?"

"Why?" Shang Chihui glanced at Dai Yue, stood up, and shook the robe on his body, "Just because I am wearing this yellow cloud and blue heavenly robe! I am the person who surveys the heavens, and I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to plan for the Son of Heaven and be responsible for Dayu!"
