Chapter 223 The power of the investigation factory (6000+ thanks to the 18-year-old Pikachu reward)(1/2)
There is no need for a large river in the south of the Yangtze River. If there is a canal, you can go north directly to Yanyun. You can naturally reach Bianjing. Two large ships, one dozens of rivers and the other is equipped with dozens of strong horses.
Horses could not withstand long-distance sailing, so at night, someone drove off the boat and walked around the shore for a few laps. Even so, some horses became sick and even died directly on the boat.
The lost horse made Xu Laoba feel very distressed, but he couldn't. Only in this way could he quickly arrive in the capital, with a prisoner in the boat, his collarbone locked tightly with iron chains, and two ribs on his back, and his handcuffs and shackles were on his body.
This prisoner is Wei Shiwu, the innate master of the Golden Palace Guard.
Xu Jie had been waiting in the capital for a long time. Xu Jie kept Wei Shiwu, just waiting for the emperor to hand over the knife to Xu Jie, so that Xu Jie could make trouble with Wei Shiwu.
The person behind Wei Shiwu is Xu Jie's goal.
The Investigation Factory has already started to operate, but it is also a little idle. Apart from the major renovations and constructions in the yamen, there is no errand work. Even the newly-secret seventh-rank court recruited Liang Boyong, there is no errand work. Even after registering the names and origins of all the personnel in the yamen, there is no errand work.
The 29th level of the Dahua civil servant is the 55th level of the military officer, and the 1st level of the military officer is very strict. Regardless of the civil servant, it is so difficult to climb to a high position step by step. Even if you are promoted one level a year, even if a civil servant passes the 8th and 9th level and starts from the 7th level, it will take twenty years to be promoted to the next level and be called the husband. This is already a great luck.
On the contrary, military officers seem to be much easier, especially when there are wars, officials who exchange their lives for promotion are generally promoted faster. Even if there is no war now, many people who can get involved in the promotion are extremely fast.
It is not that there is no such fast promotion in the civil service system, but there is a reason. Anyone who promotes quickly will have almost no good results, such as Ouyang Zheng.
Literatures are inferior to each other, but also jealous of literati. Ouyang Zheng, who was promoted by rockets, made many officials with white hair curse in the middle of the night with red eyes.
In fact, since Ouyang Zheng, the old emperor has never been promoted to the top, such as Zhu Tingchang, Wu Zhongshu and others, who have experienced their qualifications and have been fully covered in white hair.
Perhaps the old emperor gradually understood many truths. The world is not really decided by the emperor. Everything must have a foundation. This civil and military officer rank is actually the foundation for the stability of the court.
On the contrary, the chaos of promotion of military officers also proves that the Privy Council and the army in the world are really time to rectify, and it is imminent, and it is related to life and death.
Xu Jie took Liang Boyong to the Zhaixing Tower, and Xu Jie wanted to see Bing.
It was still afternoon, and the Zhaixing Tower had not yet begun to welcome guests. Xie Bing directly invited Xu Jie to the boudoir alone to meet. It would be okay to go in with everyone's boudoir. It was normal for someone to think too much, but Xie Bing didn't seem to care about these things anymore.
Xie Bing, who had just woken up, leaned lazily on the couch, without makeup, no hair, or gorgeous clothes.
After this woman was dressed up, she gave Xu Jie a different feeling, pitiful, yet charming.
Those charming and swaying figures are just essential skills in the joy scene. Every frown and smile with heavy makeup is all skills.
These skills are one of the reasons why Xu Jie subconsciously rejects this woman.
At this time, Jie Bing fell into the world, became a real girl, and made Xu Jie look at her a few more times unconsciously.
Xie Bing seemed to care, but just reached out and gently put a piece of black hair together, swung it backwards, revealing his entire face, and then said, "Hello, Mr. Xu!"
Just the saying "Young Master Xu is well" is different from usual. There is no etiquette of blessings, and there is no "seen" with a smile and a seductive eyebrows.
Xu Jie nodded and replied: "Get out of here, everyone!"
Xie Bing sat up and smiled, which made Xu Jie feel much better than usual.
Then he heard Jie Bing say, "Is Zuo Ding okay?"
"Everything is good, and when the time is right, you can meet Zuo Ding and the descendants of the Yu family. Her name is Yu Shuwan. She has excellent martial arts skills and a good temperament. She is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. She is very easy to deal with." Xu Jie chatted as usual, and her tone was relaxed. But she didn't know if Yun Shuhuan was really as easy to deal with as Xu Jie said. Perhaps this was Xu Jie's feeling alone. Yun Shuhuan thought that he was not a person who was easy to deal with.
Jie Bing nodded, smiled really, got up and poured Xu Jie a cup of tea, and sat next to Xu Jie. He didn't give him any makeup, but the fragrance filled his air.
Jie Bing poured tea, sat down, and looked at Xu Jie.
Xu Jie spoke just now: "How many people have you raised? What are you doing?"
Xie Bing was a little sad when he heard this, but he knew what Xu Jie was asking. After thinking about it, he replied: "I don't know how many people there are. I think there will always be five or six hundred people to have dinner. The dignitaries and nobles in the capital are also paying more attention to the big and small things. He thought about revenge and made a lot of preparations."
Xu Jie understood and looked at Jie Bing, knowing that Jie Bing's men who could fight and kill were already lost. Only these people who were asking for information or had their own eyes installed in some people's homes. This was what Xu Jie needed.
Xu Jie didn't beat around the bush and said, "Give me all your hands. I can give them a serious background and get paid. At critical moment, the yamen can save their lives. Zuo Ding will do his job under my command in the future."
Jie Bing said nothing and stared at Xu Jie, his round eyes shining with water.
Xu Jie whispered softly: "A man like Xia Han cannot do anything, and he should cut off contact with him in the future. This is self-protection. Although this man is a prince, he will probably be a man who will fly into the fire in the future."
Jie Bing nodded. She seemed to be able to understand a lot now.
When Xu Jie saw Jie Bing nodded, he said again: "Give me all your hands. Don't worry about the future. Be this famous Jianwujie, everyone. If you are tired, leave the capital and find a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers for the rest of your life. People cannot live for hatred, but they must live for themselves."
Jie Bing finally spoke: "Can you help me get revenge?"
This seems to be an exchange. What Jie Bing wants is to take revenge, and others may be able to pay.
Xu Jie looked at Jie Bing, watching the woman with a fluttering hair and a pretty fair face, and looking at the faint sorrow in her watery big eyes, Xu Jie nodded solemnly and said, "This matter will be accomplished!"
Jie Bing's eyes suddenly became firm, his face became a little firmer, and he said, "I won't leave, I'll wait in this capital and watch. You promised me that you must do it. I'll just wait for that day until the day when you get things done."
Xu Jie stood up and wanted to persuade the woman who lived just for hatred, but she couldn't persuade her, so she could only say: "Yes!"
Jie Bing stood up, before he arrived at the closet, opened the cabinet, and opened something again, then heard something clicking, and a muffled sound from the wall, and afterwards Jie Bing turned around, holding a booklet in his hand.
The booklet was in Xu Jie's hands, and Xu Jie had already stood up and walked out.
Jie Bing suddenly felt lost, but he didn't know what he had lost. He just took a few steps forward and stopped himself.
Xu Jie stopped when he heard the steps behind him, and looked back at Jie Bing, with a sincere smile on his face and asked, "I can't bear to leave?"
Xie Bing shook his head, and Xu Jie turned around again.
But Xie Bing said behind him: "If the day the matter is done, I will be yours."
Xu Jie smiled when he heard this, but did not look back, but went downstairs directly after searching for the stairs. Xu Jie knew in his heart that this woman was insecure and many things were not guaranteed.
This woman was afraid that Xu Jie would not keep her word, so she added chips and had the last word. After the matter was under control, Jie Bing just wanted Xu Jie to really keep her word and get things done sincerely, rather than just taking advantage of her.
So Jie Bing gave Xu Jie a bigger lottery, greater reward, and greater benefit that she thought was. That was Jie Bing herself. Perhaps Jie Bing felt that her price was something that men could not refuse, and it was the best way to ensure that Xu Jie was sincere in doing that thing.
Xu Jie had already gone downstairs. There was a small window above the tall building. A pair of uneasy eyes looked at Xu Jie walking away.
Back at the investigation factory, Zuo Ding knelt in front of Xu Jie and slowly looked through the booklet that Xu Jie had just received.
But Xu Jie said, "Why are you doing this?"
Zuo Ding raised his head and knocked on the ground with a loud bang, his tone without any turbulence, like a living dead person, and said, "Young Master Xu, I am not a little hard, I just want you to not let down the lady's painstaking efforts!"
Xu Jie shook his head and looked at Zuo Ding's scarred face. He felt a little pity and admired this man. He scratched his face with a knife, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Zuo Ding's father burned his face with fire, and Zuo Ding slashed his face with a knife. The power of hatred is unimaginable.
Xu Jie didn't think about himself, did Xu Jie have no hatred? Is Xu Jie also a cause of hatred for doing all this?
With martial arts skills, a wealthy family, he can get a Jinshi, and has a powerful force in the world. Isn’t this kind of life the freedom that Xu Jie wants? Why did Xu Jie unknowingly step into a big vortex? He even took risks with his life!
Hatred and hatred, hatred means that you can’t get through anything in your heart and be at peace. Only by doing this can Xu Jiefang feel at ease.
"Find everyone!" Xu Jie said in a short sentence.
Zuo Ding kowtowed, got up, wearing brocade clothes and a long sword in the army, went out.
Fang Xing walked in, after a bow, stood beside Xu Jie, respectfully waiting for Xu Jie to give instructions.
Xu Jie was still hesitating. Xu Jie knew that he was going to be a bad person and had to do a lot of bad things. Xu Jie didn't care in front of him, but when things were about to come, Xu Jie was still a little soft-hearted.
After a long time of softness, Xu Jie stood up and breathed a long sigh, his eyebrows grimly, and his mouth was harsh: "There is a Donglai Grain Store in the city, which is a large merchant who supplies grain to the imperial guards in the capital. The Donglai Grain Store, whether the owner, the shopkeeper, or the people who are walking around, will be taken back, and the account books inside will be moved back. Don't miss one person and one book! Do it quickly!"
Fang Xing nodded, but asked: "Commander, don't know what to do after you get it back?"
Only one word popped out from Xu Jie's mouth: "Try!"
"As for the order!" Fang Xing bowed and held his fists and came out with a knife.
He heard a whistle sound outside the hall, hundreds of soldiers gathered together, unable to squeeze out even the flat front yard, and dozens of horses were crowded at the gate of the yamen.
When handling cases in the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple, they are always stubborn or just-in-law. Even if someone reports it, they often cannot find out why. Xu Jie obviously knows how to handle the case in this case, and Xu Jie also knows what role he will be.
Dozens of strong horses came out, hundreds of soldiers rushed in line. It was unknown how long it hadn't been seen in this inner city. I had seen iron armor and mansions in various yamen, family residences, and also tolerants. The Jinwu Guard's queues were dozens of people patrolled by, and the dozens of people in the yamen walked side by side.
But where is this inner city? Apart from the great events of Huidian and the emperor's trip, where are there so many soldiers running along the streets?
"Where is the soldiers here? Why don't you understand the rules so much? If you hit the husband here, you will definitely not be able to take advantage of it!"
"Hey, these nobles are becoming more and more domineering..."
"No, Your Majesty would be furious if he knew that there were nobles who led troops to run in the inner city!"
"Don't worry, someone will always be stabbed to His Majesty. He will lead his troops into the inner city to ride horses, but he will be punished."
"I see that the man who led the army on horseback is afraid he will not be able to take any guilt. Isn't Li Qiming still blocking him?"
Fang Xing, who was riding a horse, couldn't hear the comments. If he heard them, he would also startle him, a country bumpkin from the border town. Obviously, Fang Xing, a country bumpkin, didn't know that the horse riding in the inner city would be criticized by those civil servants.
Not far south of Zhaixing Tower, the east is the grain shop, there are dozens of servants at the door, and there are also many ox carts waiting to load grain, and there are also shopkeepers who keep counting and recording, and they are very busy inside and out.
Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers came, but they were really scared. No one was dodging. Instead, the big shopkeeper inside walked out and waited for Fang Xing to dismount. The big shopkeeper stepped forward and bowed and asked, "I don't know which general it is, what's the matter?"
Fang Xing did not answer first, but waved his hands left and right, and hundreds of soldiers surrounded the food store and broke into pieces.
The shopkeeper knew that the visitor was not good, but he was not afraid. He said, "If you have any problems, please forgive me. I will come to the door to apologize. But the general's actions are a bit too much, right? There are not only one or two generals dealing with in the East Food Service. If you say it negligently, you will offend people. I am afraid that the general will be unbearable!"
Fang Xing was a little stunned. He stepped forward and grabbed the big shopkeeper's collar and said, "Tie this old man first."
The soldiers on both sides came forward and tied up, but they heard the big shopkeeper's shouting: "It's outrageous. I'm afraid you don't want to be an official anymore."
This shopkeeper is somewhat confident that he can provide food to the imperial guards, so he is naturally not an idle person.
Fang Xing also pretended not to hear it, but a word came from the grain store, so Fang Xing couldn't hear it.
"Person Officer Fang, you are so brave. If you haven't seen each other for a few days, your ability will increase!" As the words came out, a man came out of the grain shop.
Fang Xing saw this man, and subconsciously paused, bowed and said, "I have met General Gong!"
