It was getting dark before Xiao Jie and Su Yao returned to Prince Qi's mansion.

Xiao Jie asked Su Yao to go back to her room to rest first, and go to the study to deal with some things before going back to sleep. Su Yao didn't think much about it, but just told Xiao Jie not to be busy too late.

Xiao Jie waited for Su Yao to go far away, but instead of going to the study, he walked behind a rockery, made sure that there was no one around, took out a delicate jade whistle from his arms, and blew it lightly.

A low whistle sounded, which sounded a bit like the cry of a night owl in the silent night sky, and I was not afraid of others being suspicious.

A moment later, a black shadow fell silently in front of Xiao Jie, and Natou bowed:

"Subordinate Jiayi, see Your Highness."

This person is the leader of the dead soldiers raised by the predecessor. He has no name and is code-named Jiayi.

Xiao Jie didn't reply right away, but secretly activated the skill of "Looking at the Fire", and soon his attribute panel appeared in front of him.

Character: Jiayi

Command: 72

Force: 86

Intelligence: 76

Politics: 48

Charisma: 55

This property panel is pretty good.

It seems that the predecessor's IQ is not very online, but the eye for picking people is still good.

The predecessor raised eighteen dead soldiers, all of whom were desperadoes collected from various states and counties in the world, and they were code-named Jiayi to Jiashiba respectively.

However, in the original book, the performance of these [-] dead men was very crotch. The daily operation was to be hanged and beaten by Xiao Huang in various ways, giving off their heads one by one in a fancy way. symbol.

Therefore, when Xiao Jie first crossed over, every day he thought about how to disband the eighteen dead soldiers, so as not to implicate himself if their existence was exposed.

But he later discovered that the eighteen dead men were really useful, whether it was monitoring and breaking up Xiao Huang and Su Yao, or pretending to assassinate Su Yao, or this time helping him investigate Zhu Chang, the magistrate of Chenggao County. All very well done.

He finally understood that it wasn't that the eighteen dead soldiers were not good enough, it was that the predecessors didn't know how to use them, and they didn't play their due value at all.

But now, the eighteen dead men have become a secret weapon in his hands, and he can solve many shameful things for him.

Xiao Jie took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom, handed them to Jiayi, and said with a smile: "The affairs of Chenggao County are doing well, you should take these banknotes and divide them up."

Jiayi didn't answer, but said in a deep voice: "Fulfilling His Highness's orders is a subordinate's duty, and I dare not accept His Highness's reward."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Gu is always rewarded for his meritorious deeds and punished for his demerits. This is what you deserve, so accept it with peace of mind."

Only then did Jiayi take the bank note, his voice trembling slightly: "My subordinate thanked Your Highness."

In the eyes of the predecessor, the dead soldiers are just a group of tool people without thoughts and feelings, so naturally they would not think of rewarding them.But in the view of Xiao Jie now, as long as he is an individual, he will have emotions and desires. If he wants to obtain their absolute allegiance, he has to work hard. It's indispensable to mix yourself up.

"Now I have a new task for you to do. After the task is completed, I will give you another big reward." No matter what, Xiao Jie drew a cake in advance.

"Your Highness, please give me instructions." Jia Yi spoke with a lot of anger now.

Xiao Jie took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Yi: "Go to Yuyang, help me find the person above, and bring me to the capital."

Jia Yi took the paper, without even looking at it, he cupped his fists and said, "Your subordinate must fulfill your mission."

……

Changning Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

All civil and military officials bowed down together, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, showing no expression of happiness or anger.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials worshiped again, then got up, left Wen and right Wu divided into two shifts.

Xiao Ji glanced at all the officials in the palace, unexpectedly saw Xiao Jie and Xiao Huang, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The practice of the Ning Dynasty is a small dynasty for three days and a big dynasty for five days.

However, people like Xiao Jie and Xiao Huang who have a first-rank vain position awarded to the governor of a certain state from afar, generally speaking, they don't need to participate in the Dachaohui and Xiaochaohui.

Therefore, Xiao Ji was quite surprised to see that these two brothers came to attend the court meeting at the same time today.

The reason why Xiao Jie came to the court meeting for the first time today is because he knew that a big event would happen at the court meeting today, and he had to catch up with the warm one.

But he didn't understand why Xiao Huang came to attend the court meeting today, according to the plot in the book, he should not be present for what happened today.

Forget it, asking is the aura of the protagonist.

But Xiao Jie could also see that Xiao Huang was obviously very surprised that he attended the court meeting today.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

Eunuch Lian next to the dragon chair yelled routinely, and it seemed that it was another ordinary and boring court meeting.

Only Xiao Jie knew that a good show was about to be staged.

"My minister has this recitation."

A civil servant came out with a memorial in his hand. He was the supervisory censor He Yi, but for some reason now he looked determined.

"What did He Aiqing play?" Xiao Ji's tone was flat, and he didn't realize that a storm sweeping the court was about to hit.

Only Xiao Jie sneered secretly, and the good show had begun.

"I impeach Wang Cheng, the governor of Liangzhou, for colluding with the barbarians, raising the barbarian's self-respect, violating the imperial ban, and privately smuggling salt and iron to the barbarians in Mobei. I implore your majesty to punish him severely."

He Yi said every word, and a short sentence instantly caused an uproar in the court.

All the officials in the palace were in an uproar, whispering to each other.

Who is Wang Cheng? The son of Wang Chong, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, is the governor of Liangzhou in the northwest. He holds the most elite 30 Northwest Frontier Army in his hand, and [-] of them are Xiliang iron cavalry that can sweep the world.

If he colluded with the barbarians, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Ji's expression also changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Since it's impeachment, is there any evidence?"

He Yi held up the memorial in his hand and said loudly: "Here is the copy, Your Majesty please read it."

Normally, the little eunuchs would go down to get the memorial and present it to the emperor, but now the matter was so important that Eunuch Lian went down the imperial steps to fetch the memorial and presented it to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji opened the memorial, his face became more and more gloomy the more he looked at it, and finally he simply didn't look at it, and threw it at Wang Chong's feet with all his strength, and said coldly: "Wang Xiangguo, why don't you take a look for yourself."

Wang Chong's complexion was a little pale, and he completely lost his former composure. He bent down to pick up the memorial on the ground, opened it tremblingly, and just glanced at it, instantly breaking out in cold sweat.

On He Yi's memorial, every transaction between Wang Cheng and the Hu people is clearly recorded in terms of time, person, weight and quantity of goods, and money.

Wang Chong even suspected that when Wang Cheng was dealing with the Hu people, He Yi was watching and taking notes.

Regarding Wang Cheng's private smuggling of salt and iron to the Mobei Hu people, Wang Chong actually knew it well, and he repeatedly told him to be more careful. After all, this matter is too risky. Once the court finds out, it may affect the entire Langya King. Shi.

No matter which dynasty you are in, smuggling salt and iron to the barbarians is a felony, and if it is serious, it will even be regarded as collaborating with the enemy and treason.

But Wang Cheng didn't take his words to heart at all, thinking that the whole Liangzhou was under his control, how could the court find out.Besides, the northwest is barren, if he doesn't smuggle salt and iron to the barbarians, how can he have the money to win over generals and soldiers.

Taking a step back, Wang Cheng believes that even if the court finds out, it’s no big deal. Just because he has 30 Northwest Frontier Army in his hands, the court will have to be wary. They don’t dare to take him lightly. The big deal is that they will launch another The scapegoat, who took all the blame for the crime, can be regarded as an explanation to the court.

Wang Cheng was in Liangzhou, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Of course he didn't worry about what the court would do to him for a while, but now his father Wang Chong was in the court, and he had to bear the emperor's wrath alone, facing all the officials. doubts.

"This matter is of great importance, and the veteran thinks that it is better to investigate it first." Wang Chong can't admit to this matter anyway, otherwise, once it is confirmed, the entire Wang family will be doomed.
