Chapter 346: Omen of Calamity

There are no impermeable walls, let alone a city.

In this era, even if all the continents and oceans are counted, Nanjing City is also a first-class city, which is incomparable in terms of culture, area, population, and economy.

Dongchang, as the city and even the dark side of the entire Ming Dynasty, has been operating here for nearly seven years, with fierce flames, with four stalls in charge, tens of millions of horses and horses, and countless spies like stars and ants moving around, but if you want to control this Ming capital, you still have more than enough strength and insufficient strength.

He is not wise that is not wise for himself.

For this ancient precept, Xu Ruyi has a deep understanding of it. Therefore, there is only one action plan for Dongchang in Nanjing, which is to focus on avoiding light. It is indispensable for officials of the third rank and above in the DPRK and China, not only ministers and military generals, but also to install dozens to dozens of secret agents inside and outside the government, and there are also some important functions, and important figures are bound to be the focus of attention.

The direct result of the arrangement of a large number of people is the boxes of files and letterheads that are dragged into the East Factory every morning and dusk.

Layers of screening, summarizing, screening, and then summarizing, and finally put on Xu Ruyi's bookcase, it still has to be a stack more than one meter high.

Fortunately, the writing is wide and loose, and it will take about half an hour to read it.

It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the total amount of work alone, Xu Ruyi may not be as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, no one can beat his chest and surpass it confidently, but in terms of effectiveness alone, he should be on par with Zhu Yuanzhang.

At least it is much stronger than Zhu Yunwen, who cultivated immortals all day before, but now he is obsessed with women.

"Bang!"

The last stack of folds was closed in the palm of his hand, and he threw it in the corner of the bookcase, and when he looked up again, it was already twilight.

Ye Yuze stood at the door for a long time, and it was not until this time that Xu Ruyi raised his head and walked in, fortunately, he only had a thin small fold in his hand.

Yellow-skinned folds.

Xu Ruyi glanced at him, shook his head, leaned heavily on the back of the chair and closed his eyes: "In the palace, read it directly." ”

"Yes. Ye Yuze responded and said softly: "Father-in-law Liu Xi sent a letter saying that the emperor stopped practicing with Wan Congxin today and lingered in the Yafang Zhai of Concubine Qing. Dinner is also with Concubine Qing Niangniang's there. ”

"It's the third day in a row. Xu Ruyi sneered: "Gu Yunyan is a good skill. ”

"Father-in-law Liu Xi thinks that this sign is not good, and wants to ask if he should use some means to make the emperor rain and dew evenly?"

"No need, it's better to eat too much honey than, Gu Yunyan has practiced the thirty-six styles of Dong Xuanzi, and there will always be a day when he will be exhausted, don't worry, tell Liu Xi not to interfere. ”

"Yes, my subordinates know. ”

"Hmm. Xu Ruyi nodded, and opened his eyes lazily: "We have just read today's ciphertext, and there is one that is a little simple, let's ask you again."

Today, then Guo Ying went to Geng Bingwen's mansion?"

Ye Yuze recalled slightly, nodded and replied: "Back to the Governor, a few days ago, Geng Bingwen claimed to have occasionally felt a cold, and he was sick in bed recently, and it was rumored that Geng Bingwen was probably not a minor illness this time, and Guo Ying had a friendship with him... ”

"Let's ask, you give a direct answer, don't analyze randomly. ”

"Yes. Ye Yuze considered the wording, and continued: "Guo Ying did go to Geng Bingwen's mansion to visit at Shen Shi. ”

"What's weird?"

"It's all ordinary family talk, and the two of them said it, and the spies haven't heard anything wrong. ”

"What the collapse said, there is no one standing next to you?"

"Nope. ”

"It's kind of interesting. Xu Ruyi straightened up, crossed his fingers and dragged his chin, with a smile on his face: "If our family remembers correctly, Guo Ying went out of the city to hunt today?"

"But there is such a thing. Ye Yuze affirmed: "I only took my eldest son Guo Xin and ten cronies and generals, and there was no secret pile in my East Factory." It took more than an hour to go out of the city, and the harvest was very rich. ”

"Hmm. Xu Ruyi nodded and looked at Ye Yuze: "Geng Bingwen's illness, is it true or false, can it be ascertained?"

"No, never. Ye Yuze lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The Overseer thinks... What's wrong here?"

"We have a lot of people in these two old men's mansions, Guo Ying casually went out of the city once but happened to avoid all the piles, it may be a coincidence, but coupled with Geng Bingwen's illness... Heh, it's better to be careful, it's not right at this time. Go back and find someone to check Geng Bingwen to see if it is a real illness or a fake illness, and give our family a quasi-letter. ”

Ye Yuze nodded, carefully jotting it down.

"We just let you check, don't mess around. It will be used again in the future. Xu Ruyi thought for a while, and then continued: "Did you find the old Taoist priest that Yun Zheng said before?"

"This... Ye Yuze hesitated, but still shook his head: "My subordinates have turned over the ten miles radius of Nanjing City, but they have found nothing, and if you think about it, you may have left?"

"Maybe?" Xu Ruyi raised his hand and grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it on Ye Yuze's head and roared: "If you find it, you will find it, if you don't find it, you won't find it, what might it be the answer? Are you fooling our family?"

"The subordinates don't dare, the overseer forgives the sin!" Ye Yuze knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The subordinates will continue to investigate, and the old Taoist priest must be punished... ”

Xu Ruyi laughed angrily, got up and bypassed the bookcase, and kicked Ye Yuze to the ground: "It's been half a month, you can tell our family a possibility, and now you want to pack a ticket, then you tell me, when will you arrest that old way? If you can't catch it, we will count your head?"

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare... ”

"Don't dare to say something that can be done, don't recite spells!" Xu Ruyi snorted coldly, turned around, and stopped: "You let the bottom divide into two lines, one to the west, and look at Qingcheng Mountain." I'll check in this capital to see if there are any rats from the north who have come in recently. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

"Get up. ”

"Yes. Hearing Xu Ruyi's instructions, Ye Yuze stood up cautiously and stood with his hands tied.

Xu Ruyi returned to the chair and sat down, exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at Ye Yuze, took out a Bai Juan from his sleeve and threw it over: "Wipe it, the blood on your face, you will lose the prestige of our East Factory when you go outside." ”

"Overseer. ”

"Alas. Xu Ruyi suddenly sighed again, rubbed the temples of his sideburns tiredly, and closed his eyes: "Our right eyelid has been jumping straight in the past two days, this is not a good sign, you let the people below have longer eyes." ”

Ye Yuze covered Bai Juan on the wound on his head, and said softly: "If the overseer is not at ease, should the hidden stake over there be moved?"

"Don't move yet, that pile is a bit interesting, let's see how far he can go. ”
