Chapter 47: Pardon and Title: Sixth Rank Siming Xiaowei (Please read on!)
That night, several fast horses entered the capital. Although there was no curfew at night, the city gates were always closed, so Tie Shou had already been waiting at the city gate.

At three quarters past the hour of Yin, Zhou Yi rode ahead on a fast horse and headed straight into the capital.

At the city gate, Tie Shou spoke quickly: "Your father sent a letter to our Shenhou Mansion two days ago."

"We didn't dare to intercept the letter, so we sent it directly to the palace overnight. After the emperor read it, he issued a secret decree."

"I summon you to the capital."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Well, Yayu and Yuyan are still behind, the flower thief has been arrested, you and old man Zhuge should pay attention to the follow-up of this case."

"Hurry up and enter the palace. Yesterday, a pigeon was sent to the Six Gates. The emperor has said that he will not rest and will wait for you to come back."

Wow, Zhou Yi was a little surprised. What was written in this letter?
How could the official stay up all night waiting for me to come back?

Dad, you are so awesome...

"Okay, then I'll go into the palace first."

After saying that, Zhou Yi jumped on his horse and rushed into the city in an instant.

The sound of fast horses galloping on the streets late at night was a bit disturbing to the people, but they remained silent.

Soon, they arrived at the palace gate, dismounted, and were intercepted by the imperial guards.

"who!"

"I am Zhou Yi, and the emperor has urgently summoned me to the palace!"

"It turns out to be Master Zhou, please come in quickly!"

Running quickly all the way, Zhou Yi opened all the passages without even searching.

This made Zhou Yi a little nervous. Could it be that our father is gone?
Or maybe Murong Fu has already established a firm foothold in the North?

It shouldn't be so fast. Even if they had escaped to the north earlier, it shouldn't have been so fast. Are all the people in Xixia fools?

There was no time to think too much before we arrived at the entrance of Wende Hall.

Before he could report, the eunuch saw Zhou Yi and hurried down.

"Oh, Master Zhou, you are finally back."

"The official hasn't rested yet!"

"Excuse me, Eunuch Huang. I will be in right away."

"Come with me."

Entering the Wende Hall, the lights were on, and Zhao Xu was not the only one in the hall.

There was also Zhuge Zhengwo, and a guy who didn't look like a good guy, wearing a purple robe, squinting eyes, and a delicate moustache.

"I, Zhou Yi, greet the emperor!"

Zhou Yi bowed and Zhao Xu immediately stood up from his chair.

"Get up quickly!"

It was already late at night, and it would be dawn in two hours, but Zhao Xu's face was still filled with excitement.

"Zhou Yi, you're finally back!"

"Come here, give me a seat!"

"Thank you, officials!"

He glanced at Zhuge Zhengwo, the old guy was closing his eyes to rest, then he glanced at Zhou Yi and said no more.

After sitting down, Zhao Xu said, "Zhou Yi, how was the process of catching the flower thief during your trip to Dali?"

"He has been arrested, but I came back first. The criminal should be on the way now."

Zhao Xu nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"What do you think, Prime Minister Cai?"

"You lost the bet we made earlier."

Wow, it turns out this guy is Cai Jing!

Zhou Yi had to squint his eyes, thinking about this bastard, who joined forces with An Shigeng and caused a lot of trouble later.

I was certain in my heart that this person deserved to be killed!

Cai Jing stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty is right. I didn't expect that Master Zhou is so proficient in the art of solving cases at such a young age. He is indeed a young talent."

"Haha, that's natural!"

Zhao Xu laughed loudly: "Zhou Yi, come forward and listen to the order!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was a little confused. Wasn't he in such a hurry to find him back because his father had sent a message back?
It's not like it's just to give yourself an official position, right?

Coming to his senses, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Zhou Yi is appointed as a sixth-rank military lieutenant, with a fifth-rank salary, and is granted a house, a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred rolls of silk."

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yi thanks the steward for the reward!"

"Eunuch Huang, send Lord Zhou's documents to the Political Affairs Hall as soon as possible and give them to the Prime Ministers to stamp and register him."

"Yes." After conferring the reward, Zhao Xu walked up to Zhou Yi, took a good look at him, and whispered in his ear, "We'll discuss your father's matter later. Find a way to get rid of Prime Minister Cai."

What a coincidence! I also dislike this old guy.

Zhou Yi chuckled secretly and walked in front of Cai Jing.

"Hey, you are Prime Minister Cai, right?"

Cai Jing was inexplicably stared at by Zhou Yi's eyes, and the eyes were so close to him!
"What does Captain Zhou have to say?"

"Hehe, nothing much, I just know a little bit about physiognomy."

"I just took a look at the Prime Minister. He looks rich and noble, but at the moment, there are dark clouds covering the sky, and a hint of blood is faintly visible in them."

"This is a bad sign!"

"The Prime Minister will have a bloody disaster recently!"

Cai Jing: “…”

Fuck you, if it weren’t for the fact that I can’t curse people, I would have cursed you to death, you bastard!

Who would curse someone for bloody disaster the first time they meet them?

Zhou Yi saw a flash of anger in Cai Jing's eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised, and suddenly a voice came into his ears.

"Prime Minister Cai doesn't want this lieutenant to expose your dealings with the An family, right?"

"Honestly, I find you disgusting. It's already late at night and I feel uncomfortable. Looking at your face, I feel even more nauseous. Why don't you go back and rest, Prime Minister Cai?"

"If we don't go back now, the bloody disaster might come true!"

Cai Jing was shocked, and when he looked at Zhou Yi, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but more of it was fear.

How did he know about what happened between me and An Shigeng?

Could it be that An Shigeng was exposed?
His expression changed, then he blinked back to calm.

"Captain Zhou is indeed very knowledgeable. If what you said is true, how can I avoid this bloody disaster?"

"Hey, Prime Minister, go home, burn incense and pray every day, and ask the immortals in heaven to bless you, and you will get through it naturally."

The sarcastic words made Cai Jing's face darken.

He immediately stood up and saluted towards Zhao Xu: "Sir, I'm leaving now!"

"Ah, Minister Cai, don't you want to hear what happens next?"

"No, I am not good at solving cases, so I won't be an eyesore here."

"That's fine. Prime Minister Cai is old after all, and he can't stay up late like us young people."

"Eunuch Huang, send the Prime Minister back to rest."

"promise."

As soon as Cai Jing left, Zhao Xu chuckled: "The old man is finally gone."

"Come, Zhou Yi, take a look at the letter your father wrote to you."

As he spoke, Zhao Xu pulled out a letter from the memorials on the desk, which had already been opened.

When Zhou Yi took it and looked at it, his expression was extremely interesting.

[My son Zhou Yi wrote to me personally

Yi'er, Murong has settled down in Xuanhua Prefecture. Although he has not yet recruited soldiers, he has reorganized a caravan to gather information. All the military officers and soldiers in Xuanhua Prefecture have been captured with gold and silver...

I suggested to Murong Fu that we first use the method of business warfare to control the economic lifeline of Xuanhua Prefecture, and then transform the city defense, use huge profits to lure the small tribes nearby, form alliances, and first control a part of the troops...

Murong Fu listened to my advice. At present, your father is already the third core figure. Don't worry, as long as you follow my strategy, the Murong family will be able to control Xuanhua and Xiliang in three years at most. The Gansu Bingmasi has also been secretly bought by me...】

But when Zhou Yi read the back, he felt something was wrong. There were ink stains on the positions of several characters. You have to know that as a businessman, Zhou Li never leaves ink marks when writing. When it comes to numbers, if there is any mistake, the total number will be ridiculously wrong!
Announcement of funeral.

Zhou Yi silently wrote down the name and put down the letter.

Zhao Xu's young face came closer: "How is it, Lord Zhou!"

"If Murong Fu really does what your father said and takes over the two prefectures of Xixia within three years, when we have accumulated enough strength, we can inform Xixia of this news. In the midst of civil strife, if Song Dynasty uses military force, we may be able to swallow up the three prefectures of Xixia in one fell swoop..."

Faced with Zhao Xu's ambitions, Zhou Yi just wanted to say.

You think too much!

"What the government said is very true, but we have to wait three years for this matter to happen. It is too early to say now."

Zhuge Zhengwo then interjected, "Sir, I suggest that Zhou Yi handle this matter alone and be directly responsible to you."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Zhao Xu stood up and walked around, his face still filled with the fantasy of defeating Western Xia and expanding the territory for the Song Dynasty.

"By the way, Lord Zhou, if your father writes to you during this period and needs anything, you should send it to him. Since Murong Fu has such great ambitions, you should help him!"

"Yes."
