When Xia Xun accompanied Zhu Gaochi and the others to leave the Zhongshan Palace's Mansion to go to Wang's Mansion, Luo Kedi was sorting out the news he had collected in his study as usual.
These news are very mixed, and there is no specific goal, such as what yesterday a Chaotian Palace Zuo Hall caught fire, the silver monk of Banshan Temple imprisoned a girl who entered incense in the cellar, escaped yesterday and sued the official, a child drowned under the Wuding Bridge, Zhang San and Li Si of Guozijian had a fight because of their quarrels, and the price of pork in the chicken coop morning market was more expensive than the day before yesterdayIt is only through these channels that this information can be learned, which is obviously of great benefit to the rulers to get a direct understanding of the real public sentiment beyond the officials, and can save them from bureaucratic deception.
However, since most of the functions of Jinyiwei were banned, he didn't even have the power to make small reports, and Luo Kedi did not order the subordinates to stop the collection of this information, but every time he sorted it out as if he needed to report to the saint before, he felt sad in his heart.
But he still insisted, although the emperor no longer needed such news, but the ear report gods who were placed in the capital at the beginning still sent these messages every day according to his regulations, and many seemingly useless things might become useful when they would be.
Then, after sorting through all kinds of information, he found out that someone was selling real estate at a low price.
There is a lot of news about the sale of real estate and land, and his spies have reported several cases that seem to be somewhat unreasonable, and these property disposal incidents have a common characteristic: urgency One of the incidents of selling a property at a low price marked the reason, the homeowner participated in the underground gambling house betting, and the gambling Yan Wang did not dare to enter Beijing, and he lost.
He was in a hurry to ask for debts and had no choice but to sell his property.
Luo Kedi just smiled, picked up the records of the remaining incidents, and found that two of them were sold at low prices, and these two paddy fields were high-quality fields, with no pests and near water sources, but the owners of the two paddy fields sold the paddy fields as quickly as possible at any cost.
Luo Kedi noticed this news because the owner of one of the properties was named Yang Xu, and then he found out that the other property was sold by a woman named Xie Luti on behalf of her godmother, and this woman, he remembers, seems to have some kind of relationship with Yang Xu.
When he took out Yang Xu's secret file to check it, Luo Kedi found that this woman was Yang Xu's former fiancée.
Then he found out that the woman had quietly sold her own property.
Holding these reports, Luo Kedi fell into deep thought, pondered for a long time, he pulled out these reports separately, and replied on them: continue to investigate, pay special attention.
Then there was a knock on his door.
Jin Yiwei knew that when Lord Luo was dealing with official documents and information in the study, no one was allowed to disturb him, unless there was a will from the palace.
However, since a few days ago, the political envoy of Beiping reported that King Yan was suffering from a mad disease and implored Yan Shizi to return to Beiping, Luo Kedi's subordinates had an extra privilege: news about Yan Shizi could be reported at any time The person who rushed to report the news was the one he arranged to spy on the prince of Yan Wang in the dark.
It's not that he can't believe Yang Xu, he just thinks that there are light and dark, and multiple surveillance, so that everything can be foolproof.
And there is no need for him to inform Yang Xu of these arrangements, because he is the one who controls the overall situation.
The news sent to him by these spies was that some of the guards of the prince of Yan Wang left the Zhongshan palace one after another early this morning, pretending to be all kinds of people, and left Nanjing City from different city gates.
With years of experience in secret spy work, Luo Kedi immediately smelled something unusual.
When he later learned that the prince of Yan Wang was going to race horses on the outskirts of Dongcheng with Huaiqing, he finally determined that the third son of King Yan was going to escape How could the three sons of King Yan abscond without internal response and defense, they came from afar, and they were not familiar with the geography of the south of the Yangtze River at all.
Under the public surveillance of Jinyi Guard, why can a large number of Yanwang Mansion guards leave quietly in disguise without being interrogated and blocked, if there is no thief, then the first person to report this kind of news to him will not be the spy he sent, but Yang Xu.
Thinking of Yang Xu's quiet sale of his property, Luo Yishi finally made a judgment that made him even more incredulous, but he still couldn't believe his inference, because anyone should have a reason for doing anything, unless he was crazy.
Yang Xu is obviously not a madman, so why did he do this, could it be that he was already a person from King Yan Thinking about Yang Xu's innocent life experience and flawless resume, except for his previous trip to Beiping, when he was injured in Yanwangfu for a few days, he has never had anything to do with Yanwangfu.
But now he has abandoned his family and business, and worked hard for a doomed King Yan, could it be that he has been bought by King Yan since then What benefits did King Yan promise him, he wanted to work so hard, and it was inferred from this that King Yan was already preparing to rebel, otherwise why would King Yan take the trouble to buy the people who bought Jinyiwei, so to speak, Yang Xu returned to Jiangnan from Qingzhou without authorization, and it was also at the behest of King Yan, because only here can he play his due role.
Thinking of King Yan's scheming so deeply, Luo Kedi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and at the same time deeply saddened.
Although he still has a lot of manpower available, there are too few people who can be cultivated, he needs eagle dogs, he needs minions, and he needs an heir, a person who is calm and sophisticated, can see the overall situation, and can wait indefinitely and patiently for one thing and one purpose like him.
He found this person, and that was Yang Xu Yang Xu is really able to endure it, he can really calm down, until the day he was about to act, he arranged for his family to flee quickly, if Yang Xu's family left Jinling a few days in advance, they would definitely not be able to hide from Luo Kedi's ears and eyes, and there would be no escape from the prince of Yan Wang.
Quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, he is really a talent that can be cultivated, but it is a pity that he is secretly invested.
A wave of anger filled Luo Kedi's chest, he had originally cultivated Yang Xu as an incense heir.
I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch It had been a long time since Rokedi had killed anyone, but he wanted to kill so badly now.
He wanted to slaughter Yang Xu with his own hands, rip out Yang Xu's heart and liver, and ask him why he lived up to his trust and cultivation so much.
"Driving" Roque raised his hand and whipped again, and even the tip of the whip carried a rage that he couldn't hide Riding a horse like flying, raising a whip like a sword, pointing at Yang Xu Xia Xun escaped so well that he was not embarrassed.
What happens when an agent who is good at stealth and anti-stealth is tracked down by a group of agents who are good at stealth and anti-stealth The conclusion is: miserable Because even though he is in the most easily hidden dense forest, he can't use all kinds of concealment and concealment techniques that he knows, the only thing he can do is to run, keep running, only this is not flawed, as long as you run fast enough, you are safe.
The dense forest covers the sky, once you are caught in it, you can't even see the position of the sun, you are chased and run around, and the final inevitable result is not to distinguish things, Xia Xun only noticed at this time, a soldier who fights in the field in modern society has a necessary magic weapon: a compass, he does not have it.
Finally ran to a sparsely wooded place, raised his head to identify the direction, Xia Xun was about to flee in the right direction, just took a step, his eyes suddenly moved, as if he had detected a dangerous beast.
He immediately pressed the hilt of the knife, his back bowed slightly, as if a beast was about to jump up and choose people to devour, his black eyes stared at a big tree in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Come out" There was a small cracking sound, it was the sound of the dead branches and leaves under the tree being stepped on, and then Liu Yujue slowly appeared under the tree.
Xia Xun was stunned, straightened his waist slightly, and said, "Yujue" Liu Yujue smiled bitterly, with some confusion and sadness in her smile, and some confusion: "The method of tipping on my feet taught by my eldest brother really works, and I am the first to find my eldest brother." ” Xia Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yujue, do you want to capture me back?"
Liu Yujue's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the handle of the knife that Xia Xun was still holding, and said faintly: "Am I the opponent of the eldest brother?"
Xia Xun was slightly puzzled, Liu Yujue's tone made him unable to hear whether this sentence meant that Liu Yujue's martial arts could not be his opponent, or that Liu Yujue was not his opponent.
Liu Yujue raised his eyes, stared at Xia Xun, and said in a low voice: "The adult values you very much, as far as I know, under the command of the adult, the person he values the most is you, I don't understand, why do you do this" Xia Xun took a deep breath and said, "Yujue, there are some things that I will tell you now, and you won't understand."
In short, everyone has their own aspirations, if Yu Jue still thinks of the brotherhood between you and me, then don't fight with me, I don't want to meet you in battle. ” "Of course I won't fight my eldest brother, even if I have the ability to do it with my eldest brother, I will never" Liu Yujue said while slowly flashing towards the road: "The imperial court is about to attack the Yan Domain, as soon as the army arrives, the jade will be burned, and it is really unwise for the eldest brother to choose the King of Yan at this time." ” Xia Xun smiled and replied, "Maybe it is, maybe it's not, or maybe there's no endless road."
In fact, I can stand on the emperor's side, if I stand on his side, I believe that Yan Shizi and the two county kings will not have a chance to leave Jinling alive, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is also likely to be tied.
The problem is, I don't like this emperor, I don't like it very much, it seems to me that he can't be a good emperor at all" "No matter whether it is crisscrossing the seas, or internal and external difficulties, no matter at any time, no ministers, no tribute, no land, no compensation, no Han and Tang Dynasty harmony, no two Song Dynasty coins, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies Sheji, what a heroic man, what a hard backbone this is I originally thought that I was going to follow such a hero, and now I know that all this is inseparable from my efforts, men have meritorious deeds, what regrets in life" Liu Yujue couldn't understand the next paragraph of his words, but he could hear his contempt and disdain for the emperor, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is the emperor a choice for us No matter what, he is the emperor after all, the monarch's father, and the son of heaven who is ordered by heaven" Xia Xun glanced at him and said deeply: "You think he is the Son of Heaven, he is your Son of Heaven, I don't want him to be, he is not" "If you don't do it, then I'm leaving" Xia Xun walked over, Liu Yujue noticed that Xia Xun's hand had been pressed on the knife, and his heart couldn't help but be gloomy: "Big brother is still careful with me, in fact, I won't hurt you, I really won't hurt you, never."
