Late at night, the Xianwang Mansion was crowded with people and was extremely noisy.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Xie Xuan, whose face was sinking like water, hurried to the middle hall, and Luo Qi trotted all the way behind him, and replied, "I don't know." Overnight, hundreds of inns, wine shops, teahouses, gambling houses, brothels, and money houses in Luoyang City all ran into trouble. ”

"Human life" Xie Xuan paused, looked at Luo Qi with a solemn expression, and said suspiciously, "Who did it?"

"I don't know, it's all fresh faces. ”

"What's the deal with the murder"

"The most serious casualties were Tianxianglou, dozens of people died and hundreds were injured. Luo Qi replied, "Mingling Yayuan also suffered a lot of losses, and more than a dozen people died suddenly in one night. It is said that it is all because of some trivial things, which have evolved from quarrels to fighting. ”

As for this, Luo Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he proposed, "Do you want to report this matter to the mansion master?"

"No need," Xie Xuan categorically refused, "The mansion master hasn't had a good rest for several days, and he finally slept tonight, and no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

"Understood. ”

With a word of agreement, the two continued to walk towards the central hall. Along the way, he met many disciples who gave their bows, but the two of them didn't even blink their eyelids.

"What's going on in the General's Mansion," Xie Xuan asked casually, "After all, they are the Luoyang Mansion, and with so many dead and wounded tonight, it's impossible for the General's Mansion not to know." ”

"The General's Mansion has sent someone to speak. Luo Qi smiled bitterly, "They said that most of the people who had an accident tonight were Han Chinese, so it was inconvenient to intervene, and they were willing to leave this matter to the Xianwang Mansion to deal with." ”

"Leave it to us to deal with," Xie Xuan snorted and said, "It seems that this new Luoyang general is far more knowledgeable about current affairs than Wang Xu back then." ”

He didn't want to follow in Wang Xutong's footsteps. Luo Qi echoed, "More things are better than less, if he can't tell who is in charge of Luoyang City, it is impossible for him to stay here for a long time." ”

"It would save us a lot of trouble. ”

"Now, the shopkeepers of the major businesses in Luoyang City are swarming in the middle hall, and all the six gods have no owner, all of them are in chaos, just hoping that someone can preside over the overall situation for them. Luo Qi hesitated, "According to the second master's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

"They were afraid of being burned. Xie Xuan said lightly, "I came to King Xian's Mansion overnight to complain, just to pick myself up and take the opportunity to ask us for some compensation." ”

"Yes. ”

"Who is in charge of the middle hall right now," Xie Xuan asked, "How is it arranged?"

"If there is a fight, it is generally resolved by the people sent by the lower three sects. Luo Qi muttered, "But the mansion master explained yesterday that Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku had to spare their energy to deal with Qin Ming, so the old man didn't dare to distract them, so he handed over the matter to the upper three gates." At this moment, Su Tang was presiding over the overall situation in the middle hall, and Lin Fangda had already led people to various places in the city to check the details of the dead and injured. ”

Hearing this, Xie Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "This matter seems to be accidental, but in fact, there is another conspiracy." The matter is so big, and the major businesses have suffered huge losses, I am worried that Su Tang will not be able to control the scene."

"What does the second master mean?"

"Go and call Liu Xunyi. Xie Xuan's eyes were certain, and he said, "This matter will be handled by him." ”

"But Liu Xunyi has to deal with Qin Ming"

"What you think happened tonight has nothing to do with Qin Ming"

Xie Xuan's rhetorical question made Luo Qi's face change when he arrived, and he said in surprise, "The second master is saying that everything that happened tonight was done by Qin Ming."

"It doesn't have to be Qin Ming's doing, but it must have something to do with him. Xie Xuan sneered, "Luoyang City has always been peaceful, why don't there be chaos in the morning or late, but if something happened on the eve of Qin Ming's visit, if the two have nothing to do with each other, I don't believe it." ”

"Understood. Luo Qi suddenly realized, "The second master wants to combine the two things into one, and leave it to Liu Xunyi to do it." ”

"Not bad"

After saying that, Xie Xuan suddenly stopped, and reached out to grab Luo Qi's arm, thinking about it, "I'll think about it carefully, it's better not to show up." ”

"Why"

"If I am here, it will be difficult for Liu Xunyi to let go of his hands and feet. Xie Xuan explained, "Since the mansion master handed over Qin Ming to him to deal with, I should also delegate my power and not interfere at will." ”

"But"

"No, though. Xie Xuan said with something in his words, "Just take this opportunity to experience Liu Xunyi, the more tricky the matter, the more you can learn." ”

"What do you mean" Luo Qi seemed to hear a hint from Xie Xuan's words, and said in amazement, "Why do you practice Liu Xunyi?"

"What do you say?"

Leaving a vague rhetorical question, Xie Xuan suddenly turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the middle hall.

"Second master, then we"

"In the past few days, the upper third gate and the second gate of Zhongping have temporarily waited for Liu Xunyi's dispatch, so that they can be assisted, and they must not lose the face of the Xian Wangfu. Xie Xuantou admonished without replying, "Be sure to obey orders, and don't push back." ”

"Yes. ”

"Go to the East Courtyard to wake up Liu Xunyi, now is not the time to sleep with your head covered. ”

With that, Xie Xuan's figure gradually disappeared into the night.

Looking at the direction where Xie Xuan was going in a daze, Luo Qi couldn't react for a while.

There was such a big mess in Luoyang City, Luo Tianjin didn't come forward, and at this moment, even Xie Xuan refused to show up, but handed over the power of life and death to Liu Xunyi.

This matter is not only related to dozens of lives and hundreds of businesses, but also related to the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion and even the status in Luoyang.

The matter is big, the mansion master and Xie Xuan turned a blind eye, and trusted Liu Xunyi so much, which inevitably caused Luo Qi to think about it.

But hesitation is hesitation, Xie Xuan's order still has to be carried out.

With an uneasy mind, Luo Qi glanced at the middle hall that was full of discussions and hustle and bustle, and walked quickly towards the east courtyard.

After a stick of incense, under the guidance of Luo Qi, Liu Xunyi led Qin Ku, Xu Heng, Ling Qing, and the Liao brothers to the bustling middle hall in great strides.

Due to Luo Ningyu's special identity, it was inconvenient to disturb him late at night, so Liu Xunyi asked Liao Chuan and Liao Hai to come to discuss the matter.

People come and go in the middle hall, in groups, talking endlessly, and it is noisy.

There are rich businessmen with heads and faces in Luoyang City gathered here, all at a loss, and they were sincerely afraid.

Even though Su Tang was appeased again and again, he still couldn't suppress everyone's noise and complaints.

After all, tonight's events had taken a terrible toll on them.

As soon as he saw Luo Qi, Su Tang quickly stepped forward and hurriedly said, "Where is the mansion master?"

Hearing this, Luo Qi couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "The mansion master is resting, and the second master ordered no one to disturb." ”

"Where is the second master?"

"The second master means to hand over this matter to Liu Zhifan to deal with. Luo Qi pointed at Liu Xunyi, and at the same time squeezed out a reluctant smile towards Su Tang.

"What"

Su Tang was stunned, and looked at Liu Xunyi in disbelief, wondering, "It's not that I can't trust Brother Liu, it's just that this matter is very important and widely implicated, and the slightest carelessness will shake the foundation of King Xian's Mansion in Luoyang City, so it is definitely not for us to make decisions without permission."

"Ahem" Luo Qi coughed dryly twice and corrected, "Su Zhifan, what the second master means is that this matter is handled by Liu Zhifan, not the three of us together." You and I will do what we are told. ”

"This"

Hearing this, Su Tang's face gradually became a little ugly, and he still had a trace of kindness towards Liu Xunyi just now, but he had disappeared without a trace at this moment, and all that was left was suspicion and contempt.

As if sensing that Su Tang was dissatisfied, Luo Qi hurriedly said, "It's a top priority, solve the trouble in front of you first." ”

"In that case," Su Tang stretched out his hand and pointed to the main seat, and said in a strange manner, "Liu Zhifan, please take a seat"

The main seat in the middle hall is Luo Tianjin's seat on weekdays.

According to the rules of the Xianwang Mansion, whenever Luo Tianjin is not there, whoever presides over the deliberations in the middle hall can temporarily sit in his seat, implying acting on behalf of the lord of the mansion and demonstrating authority.

"Listening to Su Zhifan's tone, it seems to be a little reluctant"

"Shut up"

Liu Xunyi interrupted Xu Heng's ridicule sharply, and then walked towards the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lord of the mansion has handed over this matter to Liu Zhifan to deal with. So from now on he is in charge. ”

I don't know if it was deliberately embarrassing Liu Xunyi, Su Tang's shout attracted everyone's attention.

Hearing that Liu Xunyi was in charge, everyone came forward one after another, chattering endlessly. Some people are complaining, some are crying out for grievances, and some people are begging for explanations.

The Liao brothers blocked left and right, and forced a passage in the crowd to escort Liu Xunyi to the main position.

"Everyone, please be calm"

Ling Qing stood beside Liu Xunyi and shouted loudly, wanting to stop the noise, but even if he shouted and broke his throat, everyone was still chattering and talking.

Seeing this, Qin Ku's eyes rolled, and the knife was drawn out of the sheath with a "poof", and the cold blade of the cold light reflected a breathtaking cold light under the candle flame, which changed everyone's frightened faces, and the argument stopped abruptly, and no one dared to make a sound.

At this moment, the big eyes in the hall stared at each other, trembling at Liu Xunyi, who had a solemn face and did not say a word.

Seeing this scene, Su Tang's face couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment, but Luo Qi's eyes flashed with relief. He seemed to understand a little why Xie Xuan said, "Su Tang is not able to catch it, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the scene, but Liu Xunyi is definitely okay."

"What happened tonight has made me feel as ashamed as you are. Liu Xunyi got straight to the point, "Everyone came here for no more than two reasons. First, I hope that the Xianwang Mansion will help you prove your innocence, severely punish the fanatics, and give everyone justice. Both, you pay tribute to the Xianwang Mansion every year in accordance with the rules, and we should ensure that your business in Luoyang City is safe, and now that you have suffered heavy losses, you should ask us for an explanation. ”

"Not bad," replied the old bustard of Mingling Yayuan, "We have always been very respectful to King Beixian, and we do business in full accordance with the rules set by King Beixian on weekdays. We didn't come overnight to make trouble, just to ask King Beixian for an explanation. At the same time, I also hope that King Beixian will fulfill the promise he made to us just as we follow the rules he set. In the event of an accident that causes damage to the business, the Xian Wangfu will never shirk the blame and is willing to bear it. ”
