It was already late at night, and Xu Jie played the piano, but the people who listened to the piano were absent-minded. They didn't care that Xu Jie's piano skills became more and more proficient, and they couldn't listen to the pleasant sound of the piano.

What Xia Rui was thinking was still hesitating, whether to ask Xu Jie to do something, such as killing someone?

Xia Rui also knew in his heart that this request was a bit unreasonable and excessive. Because asking Xu Jie to kill someone was to let Xu Jie fight to the death and use his life to bet on some things. Xia Rui knew that Xu Jie might be successful, but he didn't know how to speak.

Xia Rui, who was unwilling to go home, fell into a tangle, wanted to speak but stopped, but his heart was like claws. The dragon throne seemed to be right in front, and Xia Rui seemed to be one step away from the dragon throne, and this step was like Xu Jie.

Xia Rui thought of many things too simply, and at this time he even felt that his way to ascend the throne was that Xu Jie fought his life to kill Xia Han.

But where is everything so simple? Regardless of whether Xu Jie can kill Xia Han or not, even if Xu Jie kills Xia Han among the Golden Palace Guards, is that the throne of Xia Rui?

After killing Xia Han, what about Xu Jie? What should Xu Jie do? Could it be that Xu Jie used the excuse of personal grudge to take everyone down and then kill everyone in exchange for Xia Rui's illusory possibility of succession?

Regardless of whether Xia Rui is selfish or not, Xia Rui seems to be crazy, and he only wants to ascend the throne in his heart. This is the case with many people. Once his mind is completely occupied by something, he will no longer talk about rationality.

Fortunately, Xia Rui still didn't say it out loud, because Xia Rui also knew that Xu Jie was not his subordinate, nor his confidant, nor had he ever received any kindness he had not paid off. At most, Xia Rui could only make indirect attacks like he had just done, and could not express this request bluntly.

If Xu Jie wants to be powerful and want to be above all ten thousand people, Xia Rui can continue to say that Xu Jie doesn't want these things. At least Xu Jie in front of Xia Rui said that he doesn't want these things.

Qinyin Xia Rui couldn't listen, but someone listened. A girl appeared not far away, with an unhappy look on her face, and she angrily said, "Is it still possible for people to sleep? My grandfather to see wood sounds better than you. It's midnight, why can't I let my ears go?"

Xu Jie was not angry when he heard the words. If someone else said this, Xu Jie would definitely have to argue with him, because although Xu Jie is not at the peak of playing the piano now, he is considered to be middle-level and the music he played cannot be so touching, but it can be considered pleasant. However, Xu Jie could not refute the girl's words. He could only smile and said, "I would like to ask my sister Tiger."

If Xu Jie argues, the little tiger sister must be arrogant and said to Xu Jie, but Xu Jie's humble words made the little tiger feel good. After taking a few steps, he looked like a teacher and said, "When you press down here, you must first lightly, then press down hard, so that the syllables will tremble, the tail sound will be nice, like the trembling of a person's heart and the sublimation of emotions. Do you understand?"

Xu Jie hurriedly did it and nodded repeatedly: "I understand." "Well, the little tiger is taught!" The little tiger is behind one hand and hanging in the air with the other hand, tilting back slightly, nodding. It is probably the style I learned, and I learned it very much. In addition, the sentence "The little one is taught" is obviously also learned. The object of learning is Old Man Lei.

Xu Jie almost laughed out loud with this appearance, and then said, "Sister Tiger, I will play another song, and Sister Tiger will give me some tips."

The little tiger pretended to be impatient, but said, "It's midnight, if I hadn't been in a good mood, I wouldn't be lazy to give you some advice."

Xu Jie sat up straight and said casually, "Tiger sister, my name is Xu Wenyuan."

"I know your name is Xu Wenyuan."

"You can call me Brother Wenyuan." Xu Jie said casually, but his eyes looked at the little tiger.

"I don't call you Brother Wen Yuan, my face still hurts now." Xiao Laohu's face was full of arrogance as a teacher.

Xu Jie smiled and started playing the song "Yangguan Sandie". He listened to it too many times, so he was the first to learn it. He could hum a tune, and at least he would be much easier to remember the music score.

At this time, Xia Rui finally got up and bowed and said, "Wenyuan, I'll come to find you tomorrow."

Xu Jie nodded, Xia Rui walked out like this, probably because Xia Rui felt bored and remembered something again.

Xu Jie looked at Xia Rui who was leaving and sighed slightly in his heart. He was also thinking more. If Xia Rui really became the emperor, he would not know what the country would look like in the future.

Turning his head, Xu Jie smiled again. Xia Qian ruined the army of 500,000 in one breath. Isn’t the world good?

Maybe there is no need to worry about it.

What I thought about then was how to help Xia Rui ascend the throne. This matter was really not that simple. How to defeat Xia Han?

This question may become how to convict Xia Han and make Xia Han do something unforgivable.

Xu Jie was thinking in his heart, but he heard: "Brother Wenyuan, what song are you playing?"

Xu Jie suddenly came to his senses, quickly calmed down, stroking the strings seriously, but laughed again.

September is the day for Xu Jie to get married. Xu Zhong and Xu Laoba are busy all over the past few days, playing music, singing, drinking, eating, and sending favors. Xu Jie doesn't need to worry about these.

Even the communication between the two families was not Xu Jie's turn to ask about it. Xu Jie couldn't get involved in the marriage at all. His parents ordered the matchmaker to say that the two people who really wanted to get married had no things to prepare at all.

Even Xu Jie couldn't go to Ouyang Zheng's mansion. I heard that it would be ominous if the two newlyweds met during the period before their marriage.

Whenever people in the yamen see Xu Jie, they have to congratulate them one or two in advance. For people in the yamen, the fact that their chief marries the daughter of the prime minister is not just a simple happy event, but even represents the future of these people.

Xu Jie's rise to prominence is the future career and future status for these people.

Perhaps it is true as Ouyang Zheng said, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Many responsibilities are not taken on their own initiative, and they will come to you unknowingly. Just like these people in this yamen, everyone is looking up at Xu Jie, waiting for Xu Jie to rise step by step.

Many small officials such as documents in the yamen were seventh and eighth ranks. Now most of them have been promoted to some grades, but they are just small officials. Most of them were transferred from other yamen by Xu Jie. In the original yamen, most of them were officials who were not valued. Now they are finally guarding the clouds and the moon is bright. When they do chores, they are all full of energy. No matter how heavy the chores are, they never complain. Even if they stay at their desks all night long and write those boring case files, they still smile in the morning. When they go out, if they meet their former colleagues, they will be envious. When they do some other people, they will be sent by the yamen in the jail office, they will be treated with great courtesy immediately. The house at home will also become lively.

In the final analysis, life has hope. These hopes are brought to them by Xu Jie.

The hope of others is already a kind of pressure on Xu Jie. Many people are counting on Xu Jie for dinner and Xu Jie's future. Will these people be disappointed in the future?

The sun is shining and the autumn is clear. Xu Jie is sitting on a recliner in the yard. Xu Gou'er is sitting on a small bench next to him. There is a lot of food and tea on the small table table. Xu Gou'er eats and drinks constantly. Xu Gou'er, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, seems to be hungry all day long.

There were a lot of files piled up on the ground. Xu Jie slowly looked at him. There was an official behind him. His official name was the consultant of the Jishi Factory. He was a sixth-ranked officer, Du Zhi. He was in his early forties and was a Jinshi. He was originally a small official in the Ministry of Justice, but now he is the mainstay of the Jishi Factory.

Xu Jie looked at it carefully, and after reading a volume, he said, "This person is just forgiving others. It is not easy for everyone to forgive others. Some things are involuntary."

This major case involves too many people. The jail office is a harsh yamen. Most of the officials in the yamen are powerless and powerless for more than ten or twenty years. Now, handling such a big case is like a resentment accumulated in the heart for decades, which is spurted out. It is not that there are many public revenge, or that it is an idea that can finally do things truly. This also seems to be a matter of detail. Another word is also a conscientious and serious attitude to prove one's ability.

However, once the yamen like the jail factory really work hard, I don’t know how many families will destroy their families. As Xu Jie said, some people really have no choice but to weigh the principles and favors. Xu Jie still can’t see that blood flows into a river, every household is crying, and even more can’t see that other people’s wives, concubines and children are everywhere in the shop.

Du Zhi, who was behind him, said, "Governor, this person has helped the Li family sentence others to unjustly imprisonment. Although he was only imprisoned for a few years, he was also extremely guilty."

"Forget it. If you were in that position, the seal would still be blocked. He would not make up his own words if he was sentenced to this unjust prison. He would imply that he would resign himself and return to his hometown." Xu Jie put down the file and took another volume.

After watching for a while, he said, "Let this person be released too."

Du Zhi nodded while holding a pen and writing something on the file Xu Jie put down.

Suddenly Xu Jie turned around and asked, "Counselor Du, has someone come to your house to give gifts recently?"

When Du Zhi heard this, his face turned agitated: "Governor, there are so many gifts that give gifts. The officials have never seen a single person, and they have never received any money from each person. The Governor clearly understands!"

Xu Jie nodded, looked at Du Zhi, and began to carefully look through the file again, and pointed to one copy and said, "This person will examine it again! Examine the matter of collecting grain at a low price, and send someone to Fengqiu to investigate to see how much blood from farmers he helped Donglai Grain Store eat. Three hundred stones? Humph... "

Du Zhi looked up and bowed: "As for order!"

Du Zhi took the file handed over by Xu Jie and said, "Governor, this person is detained in the Ministry of Justice. He also asked the Governor to hand over a letter to the yamen. The lower officials went to take the person in person."

Xu Jie sat up from the recliner, picked up the pen on the small table, and told Xu Gou'er, "Gou'er went to the lobby to get the big seal."

Xu Gou'er got up from the stool and ran to the lobby quickly. In a moment, the seal was stamped on the handwriting written by Xu Jie, and the paper became a document.

At this time, Xia Rui walked in outside the door with a smile on his face and something was on his back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Jie sitting on the recliner and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, see what I brought to you, an amazing treasure."

"What baby did Brother Juemin bring?" Xu Jie asked with a smile.

Du Zhi, who was behind him, saw Xia Rui coming and said, "Governor, the subordinates will handle the case of Fengqiu first. I have time to finish reading the file, write a note on the file, and the subordinates will handle it according to the wishes of the governor."

Xu Jie nodded and stood up. Du Zhi had already left with the official documents. There were also yamen on both sides coming to pack the files.

Xia Rui had already taken the thing on his back to his head, removed the cloth bag, and it was a piano. When Xia Rui turned over the piano, he said proudly: "How?"

Xu Jie had already seen the four big words "Jiuxiao Huanpei" written on it, and Xu Jie was a little surprised.

Xia Rui pointed to the Qin and said, "Wenyuan, I have spent a lot of effort to find it. Have you heard of the Lei family? All the masters of the Qin Dynasty have heard that the Lei family, who made the piano, is the Tang Qin, and it is made by Lei Wei. It is priceless. If Xie Zhongcheng saw it, he would probably be drooling. Is it a good thing?"

Xu Jie nodded, looked at Xia Rui again, and said, "It's a good thing!"

Xia Rui held the piano with both hands and sent it forward: "Wenyuan, I can't play the piano. I've seen you practice piano skills recently, and I'll give it to you."

Xu Jie reached out to take it, looked down, and touched the strings lightly. The sound quality was not bad, and it was even much better than many pianos. It was really a good piano. Xu Jie asked: "How much silver did Brother Juemin spend?"

Xia Rui waved his hand and smiled, "It's not worth mentioning. Just give the sword to the hero, just as appropriate. It's only 80,000 taels."

Eighty thousand taels, perhaps Xia Rui's entire wealth, all the wealth accumulated over the years. Xu Jie looked extremely happy, slightly tuned the tune, and said, "What a piano, it's really a good piano."

Xia Rui was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's good that Wen Yuan likes it. I heard that there is another "Xia Ming", which is also a famous zither in the Lei family. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money, otherwise I would buy it and give it to you. That zither is not as famous as this one. I have sought several people and asked about it. Jiuxiao Huanpei is the most famous."

Xu Jie slowly put the piano in the cloth bag and said, "It's enough to get this piano."

At this time, an old man walked out of the corridor. He probably heard something he was interested in, so he walked over from the side courtyard. However, after hearing Xu Jie's words, he stopped and just looked here.

"Wen Yuan, if you are not busy with business tonight, can you drink it together? I have recently got some good wine and are short of people's taste." Xia Rui said. Xu Jie received this piano worth 80,000 taels, which was a relief for Xia Rui.

Xu Jie nodded and replied, "Good wine and good piano, just right."

Xia Rui looked overjoyed and quickly turned around: "Wenyuan, I'll go get the wine now."

Perhaps before coming, Xia Rui was still worried, worried that Xu Jie would not accept this gift from him. He was worried that he would go all the time.

Xu Jie looked at Xia Rui who couldn't wait to go out and looked back at the old man with clever ears and eyes.

The old man also walked up to his head and reached out and said, "Let me see."

Xu Jie handed over the Jiuxiao Huanpei in his hand.

The old man opened the cloth package, looked around and placed it on the table, and asked, "Why don't you tell me it? That boy obviously cheated someone, cheated 80,000 taels and could still recover it."

Xu Jie shook his head: "Eighty thousand taels are the intention, and being deceived is also the intention. If he says it out, he will be uneasy. He will feel at ease when he holds him. Besides, this piano is good, much better than the one I use."

The old man looked at Xu Jie and shook his head: "It turns out that you haven't seen it yet. You kid are a bit kind."

Xu Jie replied: "I have always been kind-hearted."

The old man shook his head and said, "Where is your yamen a kind-hearted place? It's just a hell of ghosts and wolves howling."

Xu Jie knew what the old man said, and others could not hear the sound in the dungeon, so the old man must have heard it. No wonder the old man had to take the little tiger away before.

Xu Jie smiled and replied: "The good man reincarnated his fetus, and the evil man puts the oil pan. Is this Hell King a kind-hearted person?"

The old man smiled: "You boy is even more powerful than the King of Hell."

Xu Jie smiled without saying a word, slowly holding the "Nine-Xiao Huanpeng". However, this Nine-Xiao Huanpeng cannot be played. The files piled up in a few miles are still waiting for Xu Jie to read them carefully. This is the labor of the case. Even a small official is like this. It can be seen that those high-ranking officials, from politics to people's livelihood, from the army to the law, diplomacy, finance, and natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places, and they also have to serve an emperor.
