Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Hou Yao was sleeping dazedly when he suddenly felt some movement around him. Then he turned over and saw Ji Wenjun sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

Not knowing whether she had just gotten up or was about to go to bed, he walked up to her and hugged her from behind and said, "Did you just come back? I'm sorry, I've been neglecting you recently."

Ji Wenjun gently pushed his hand away: "Well, I know. I came back too late last night and saw that you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you up. It's okay. You can go back to sleep for a while. There has been some unrest in Guangxi recently. Therefore, there are many official matters in the Yamen, so I will go to the Yamen to handle official matters first."

Hou Yao suddenly looked surprised. There seemed to be something wrong with this script.

If it was normal, shouldn't she be angry if he didn't find her for so long?Then he would make a fuss with himself, get a little angry, and then forget all the grudges.

When did the princess become so understanding?

Did she grow up unknowingly?

"I...this..., how about you..."

Hou Yao didn't know what to say for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Ji Wenjun had already dressed up and said to the maid at the door: "Xiaoxia, Xiaoyu, I will go to the public room to handle official business. The prince-in-law is resting in the room, so you can take care of me."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ji Wenjun nodded: "You should rest for a while. I have a heavy workload during this period, so I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you. Sister Xiu'er has just given birth, so I'm afraid she's in trouble. If you're really lonely, you can ask Xiaoyu Xiaoxia will accompany you, that’s it, I’ll go to the public house first.”

After saying that, he walked out of the room without looking back, as if there was really some urgent business that he had to deal with.

Ji Wenjun spoke in a soft tone and with a calm expression. There was nothing unusual about him at all. However, his normal speech gave Hou Yao a very strange feeling. He was stunned for a long time and found it difficult to accept it.

Just as he was about to chase him out, he ran into the fiery gazes of Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia said softly: "Consort, do you need Xiaoxia to sleep with you?"

Hou Yao took one look at Xiaoxia's hot figure and swallowed hard, but when he thought about Ji Wenjun's unknown situation, his heart became cold.

I don't know if this is a temptation on her part, but I'm afraid that after touching these two people, she will be completely irritated, and then she will probably cut him off in the middle of the night, and then the gain will not be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Hou Yao didn't dare to stay here any longer and quickly put on his clothes: "No... no need. I just remembered that I have something urgent to do, so I left first."

After saying that, he ran away in panic.

Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia looked at Hou Yao's retreating back, with extremely disappointed eyes. Such a good opportunity to fly on a branch and become a phoenix had just slipped away.

……

Hou Yao hurriedly returned to the county government office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Guo Ming running over breathlessly.

"Sir...Sir, a group of unidentified gangsters tried to destroy public facilities in our county last night. Water plants, hydropower stations, steel mills, glass factories, soap factories and other industries were all attacked by them."

Hou Yao was shocked and said: "What? Are there any casualties?"

Guo Ming lowered his head and said: "39 workers and 45 technicians of various types were injured, 120 were seriously injured and [-] were slightly injured. There was also a master craftsman named Xiong Yushi who happened to be working overtime in the glass factory and was stabbed twice by the gangsters. The knife is being rescued in the hospital now, and I don’t know if it can be saved.”

Hou Yao immediately clenched his hands into fists: "How come there are so many casualties? Do you know which force did it?"

Guo Ming shook his head: "These people come and go without a trace, and they all have strong skills. According to my estimation, they should all be green forest experts who run around in the world. Ordinary policemen in our county can't deal with them at all."

"A good player in the green forest? That's not easy to handle."

If the green forest experts gather into an army, they can be compared to special forces, and they are really not something that ordinary detectives can deal with.

"I'm afraid this matter can't be rushed. I'll find someone to ask later. By the way, are the losses to the water plant and power plant huge?"

Guo Ming shook his head: "The water plant was damaged and a reservoir was damaged. Three people died. The power plant suffered no damage."

Hou Yao was stunned: "How come there is no loss to the power plant?"

"The gangsters who went to attack the power plant were beaten away by the factory employees."

"what happened?"

"It is said that several workers in the power plant called a group of friends who had practiced martial arts to fight away the gangsters who attacked the factory."

Hou Yao pondered for a moment and said hurriedly: "Hurry up and take people to find them. These people probably know the identity of the gangsters, so they can ambush outside the power plant in advance. Otherwise, they would not be able to catch up with the gangsters' attack by such a coincidence."

Guo Ming nodded: "Yes, I will take people to find them right now."

Hou Yao said: "Well, go quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone if you go late. Also, try to be polite to them, don't use force unless absolutely necessary, and dispatch a team of Bao'an troops to join you. They must not be allowed to leave Bao'an County." "

"Yes, my lord."

After Guo Ming left, Hou Yao immediately called for Zhou De.

"Do you have any news about last night's gangster?"

Zhou De said with an embarrassed look: "We have locked the identities of several of them and sent people to arrest them, but all failed. These people have only recently come to Bao'an County, and their identities are very complicated. They are all low-level people from all walks of life. There was no gathering to discuss before the attack last night, so they should have made plans before coming to Baoan. According to the speculation of the existing intelligence, they should all belong to the same organization.

Sorry, I have been focusing on the high-ranking big shots before and ignored these seemingly ordinary people at the bottom. Cousin, please punish me. "

Hou Yao patted Zhou De on the shoulder: "Forget it, this time is a lesson. In the past few years, we have been too smooth, so we have ignored a lot of things. On the surface, these people are at the bottom of all walks of life, but they can be The people who are organized are by no means simple. We are overt and they are hiding, so they are inevitably passive. You are indeed very talented at detecting intelligence, but your experience is inevitably insufficient. It would be too much if you always have to suffer losses before you can learn to be good. It’s a bit more rigid. Let’s go and meet someone with me.”

……

Baoan County Jifu.

Before Hou Yao rectified Bao'an County, it was a terrifying gate of hell.

After Hou Yao vigorously rectified Bao'an County, Ji Mansion was far less prestigious than before. Especially after Gao Xiaosong agreed to close the salt factory, Ji Chunan's status plummeted.

Even King Pohai besieged the capital, and the Feiyu Guards Emperor from all over the country was ordered to return to King Qin, but he did not receive any imperial order, and it is not known whether he was deliberately retained, or whether he was really forgotten.

Now that the emperor in the palace has changed, Ji Chunan has given up. No matter what the situation was before, he will definitely be forgotten now.

So whether he wants it or not, he can only settle down and become a rich man at home.

When I have nothing to do, I go out for a walk, or practice boxing in the park, or play chess with an old man on the street. In short, I look no different from ordinary people.

But he has been on the list of key people monitored by Hou Yao.

"Ji Guanshi, please come and be fine."

Hou Yao led Zhou De and Chen Junnan to knock on the door of Ji's mansion. When he saw Ji Chun'an sitting on a deck chair in the courtyard, basking in the sun comfortably, he took the initiative to say hello.

Ji Chunan was surprised when he saw that the person coming was Hou Yao, and stood up like a spring: "Zhixian Hou, why is it you?"

Regarding Hou Yao, Ji Chunan was naturally angry, but the current situation was stronger than others, and with Hou Yao's current status, it was not something that he, a small eighth-grade Feiyuwei steward, could offend.

Hou Yao cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Today I have something to ask for."

Ji Chunan glanced sideways at Hou Yao and said, "Are you here because of last night's attack?"

Hou Yao laughed and said: "Sure enough, in this Bao'an area, nothing can be hidden from Guanshi Ji. Now I have no clue. I wonder if Guanshi Ji can teach me a thing or two? At least let me know about myself. I offended that immortal."

Ji Chunan suddenly sneered and said: "My lord, you asked the wrong person. The people around me know much more about what happened last night than this old slave. Please forgive me for being unable to help."

Hou Yao looked confused, listening to Ji Chunan's words, as if there was a spy beside him.

Immediately he looked back at the two people behind him. Zhou De's expression was as usual, while Chen Junnan's expression was a little complicated.

Could it be that Ji Chunan was talking about Chen Junnan?Hou Yao had a question on his forehead, but in front of Ji Chunan, he couldn't ask more questions, so he changed the subject and said: "Manager Ji, actually, I have something else to ask for this time."

Ji Chunan's eyes twitched and he said: "This old slave is just a forgotten abolitionist and has no abilities. I guess he can't help the magistrate anymore. Please come back, sir."

Hou Yao suddenly got angry and said, "Old Ji, you forced me to do this. I wanted to play a trick like a polite corporal, but if you don't know how to praise me, don't blame me for being ruthless. Take it."

Chen Junnan immediately unsheathed his sword and stabbed Ji Chunan.

Although Ji Chunan's skills are not weak, he is only around the fourth level. He is vulnerable to a second level master and was restrained in a few or two strokes.

After placing the long sword on his neck, the unruly expression on his face immediately disappeared: "Wait... wait a minute, I have something to say..."

Hou Yao said angrily: "If you don't want to drink a toast or a fine drink, I will give you two options now. First, take your Feiyu Guards to join my intelligence department. The basic salary is [-] yuan a month. If you can intercept important information, you can also There is a large bonus, with no upper limit of [-] or [-] million. Secondly, you have caused so many murders in Baoan County before. It is time to give an explanation to the people. You and your Feiyu Guards will all be beheaded in public. . Now I’ll give you a cup of tea to think about it.”

Ji Chunan had a wry smile on his face. If it had been before, he really wouldn't have taken Hou Yao's threat seriously.

But now, not to mention that he no longer has a backing, Hou Yao is not comparable to the newly appointed county magistrate when he was on the outlying island.

With his current power and prestige, even if he kills himself, others will only applaud him, let alone talk about fairness and justice. How can there be justice in the face of power?

"Yes...yes, old slave..., I am willing to join your lord's intelligence department...".
