Chapter 231

Tianqi Imperial Capital, outside the mansion of Minister of Industry.

Far from the back door, in a corner of the opposite street, four little beggars are playing dice together...
"Okay... I finally won!" the little beggar shouted happily.

"Come on, let's have another plate!" shouted another little beggar.

"Yes, let's play another game, this time I have to win the game." Another little beggar also yelled.

"Okay, come on, let's play another game!" The little beggar who had just won agreed with a smile.

A new round has begun.

Suddenly, a little beggar said softly: "Little Lei, we have been here for two days, and we haven't seen anyone special. Go find Shen Siyuan."

Xiao Lei shook his head, and replied: "I don't know, anyway, the master told us to watch, so we will watch."

Looking closely at that face, it was no longer Xiao Lei's face.

Xiao Qi went on to say: "I still remember when we were in Yunzhou last time, we saw Shen Siyuan from a distance, and arranged to repair the breach on the other side of the embankment."

"Xiao Shi, you were here last time, remember?"

Xiaoshi nodded and replied: "Yes, I remember. At that time, his body was completely soaked and black and black, but he didn't care about it at all, and he just focused on checking the breach."

Xiao Qi nodded and continued: "Looking at him like that at the time, he seemed pretty good. You say, what bad things would such a person do?"

Xiao Lei curled his lips and said, "Who knows, you know people, you know their face, but you don't know your heart. It looks quite honest, but who knows, what's in it?"

Xiaojie went on to say: "Xiao Lei, we finally won the assessment and got the chance to show up."

"Should we think of a way to go in and have a look, maybe we can see something different in his mansion."

However, the tone fell.Xiao Lei slapped him on the head instantly.

He said softly: "Xiaojie, you are so courageous! Did you forget Xiaogu's lesson last time so quickly?"

Hearing this, Xiaojie shrunk his neck immediately, hey... hey... He said with a smile: "No, I haven't forgotten, I dare not."

Xiao Lei glared at him, and said softly, "You all remember that Xiao Gu was punished last time."

"If we make another mistake, it will not be the same punishment as last time."

"Remember! As secret guards, our primary duty is to obey orders. Whatever the master asks us to do, we will do it. Don't get distracted, do you hear me!"

The three little heads on the opposite side nodded desperately when they heard the words, and replied: "I know, I know, we don't dare, we absolutely don't dare."

Xiao Lei looked at it and nodded just now, looking mature and prudent.

Xiaojie immediately put on a smile and continued, "Come on, let's continue playing."

"Okay, keep playing." The others immediately echoed.

After a while, the four of them started playing dice again, but they kept staring at the mansion.

······
The imperial capital, the private residence of Emperor Zongyuan.

Hei Ying brought several hidden guards and sent the carts of silver into the house.

for a long time.

When they came out again, they were divided into three groups, and the hidden guards from the house also joined the team.

The three groups of teams, each holding a silver cart, left slowly.

In the distance, in a hidden place, there were two figures who had been quietly staring at the house, watching the convoy go away.

After a while, one of them nodded to his companion, turned and left.

······
The Imperial Capital of Apocalypse, the residence of Prince Yu.

In the study room, behind the desk, Prince Yu Murong Tang was still sitting quietly, thoughtful, but the hands in front of him were clenched tightly.

For a long time, for a long time.

The well-dressed man walked in, Prince Yu looked at it, but there was a trace of nervousness in his eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The well-dressed man bowed and replied: "Go back to the lord, our people saw that Hei Ying led people out from the city gate and left in three groups."

Hearing this, Prince Yu replied: "Understood, let's go down."

"Yes, my lord." The well-dressed man bowed back and turned to leave.

After writing the case, Prince Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and just let go of the hand that had been tightly clenched.

······
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

In front of the dining table, Mo Yi put a spare rib in the woman's bowl, and said, "Come, Xi'er, have another spare rib."

"En." Xiao Jinxi responded with a smile.

Picking up the ribs and eating, he said, "Mo Yi, I guess fourth brother has been having trouble sleeping and eating, waiting for today's result."

Mo Yi nodded in response: "Xi'er is right. Fourth brother didn't know about it back then, but now that he knows, he will naturally be worried."

"The top is not upright, and the bottom is uneven. Emperor Zongyuan has passed away, and his mistakes have been in the past. But what about the current incumbent?"

"Fourth brother is worried about the national fortune of the Tianqi dynasty and the well-being of the Tianqi people."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said: "Yes. Fourth brother has always been kind-hearted, so naturally he doesn't want to see Tianqi's people being displaced."

"Well, that's right." Mo Yi responded.

While scooping up a bowl of soup with his hands, he put it in front of the woman and said, "Xi'er, have another bowl of soup."

"Okay." Xiao Jinxi smiled and took the fish soup.

But he took Mo Yi's bowl with his hands, and while scooping up the fish soup, he said, "Mo Yi, you should drink more, your complexion is still a little pale, but you have to pay attention."

Mo Yi smiled, took the fish soup, and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to Xi'er. Don't worry, Xi'er, I'm fine."

"Qingluan now goes to my study every day to bring medicines to replenish qi and blood. These pills can be eaten as meals."

Xiao Jinxi laughed instantly when he heard the words, and said: "This Qingluan is always running to the Mansion of Marquis Wending, so he still has time to take care of you!"

Mo Yi smiled and said: "Qingluan said it, this is something Xi'er confessed, she dare not neglect."

"Oh, that's it!" Xiao Jinxi responded with a smile.

"Master." Wei Mo's voice came from outside the Nuan Pavilion.

"Come in." Xiao Jinxi responded.

After a while, Wei Mo walked into the Nuan Pavilion, bowed and replied: "Master, there is news from over there that Black Eagle took the hidden guards in the private house and escorted the repair funds and set off together. He has already left the city gate at this moment."

Xiao Jinxi nodded and said, "Okay, I got it."

Wei Mo nodded, bowed and retreated.

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said, "Mo Yi, fourth brother can finally rest assured. The repair money this time has finally been shipped out on time."

Mo Yi sneered, and said: "It seems that Murong Xuan still cherishes his country!"

"This time the Yunbai River in Yunzhou burst its embankment, and he is also worried that the same thing will happen to the Yunbai River in other state capitals."

"That's why I don't dare to think about this money again."

Then he smiled and said, "Today, fourth brother, I can finally have a meal with peace of mind."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and replied, "That's right, that's right."

As he said, he lowered his head and drank the fish soup, but his eyes were filled with contemplation... I was afraid that the final result might not be as Prince Yu wished.

Mo Yi at the side put another piece of fish into the woman's bowl, and said, "Xi'er, let's have a good meal too."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and replied, "Well, good."
