Regarding the matter of the Marquis of Jingan fu, the court's intention was to carry it out in secret and not make a big deal out of it and create unnecessary disturbances.
In other words, if the Marquis of Jingan fu was really suspected of smuggling magic weapons, then they would report it to the court and handle it according to the laws of the court. But if they were completely innocent, then another imperial edict would take effect — — it would be nothing more than a reward to appease them, a reward to suppress their shock and so on. After all, this matter could be said to be big or small, but the problem was that no matter if it was the person investigating the case or the person being investigated, both sides had their own thoughts and considerations.
Under this kind of situation, the imperial envoy and the person in charge of the Marquis of Jingan fu formally met.
According to Sun Lang's intention, they should hang a banner in front of the main hall that said "Welcome to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Leader for inspection and guidance" and so on. The large and small officials and staff of the fu would line up to welcome them, then they would call the reporters from those lousy newspapers in the city to watch from the side. In this atmosphere brimming with enthusiasm, the leaders of the two sides warmly shook hands and exchanged some pleasantries. Afterwards, everyone would take their seats and exchange opinions on the central government's instructions and research decisions.
After saying some fake and empty words, when the sky darkened, it was time to do some minor work. There was no harm in going to the largest office in the city, the Moon Flower Pavilion, and booking the largest private room. Ordering three to five red cards, ordering vegetables and fruits of the four seasons, exotic delicacies, and after eating and drinking to their heart's content, they could talk to the leader about the difficulties of their work. When they left, they couldn't forget to give the leader a few heavenly shopping cards for the seventy-two imperial shops and one hundred and eight imperial merchants. Afterwards, they could go home and sleep, leaving the imperial envoy who was worried about the country to stay in the Moon Flower Pavilion to work through the night. When the sun rose, this matter would more or less be settled.
However, before the rational Housekeeper Xu could raise any objections, this idea was rejected by Sun Lang himself — — this kind of method that was completely without any smoke and fire, lifting the heavy as if it were light as an antelope's horn, was probably one of a kind in the entire Kingdom. If Qin daren saw the strange but strangely familiar banner that said "Welcome to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Leader for inspection and guidance", after he understood, his heart would first go into shock for three seconds.
He had made a fortune in secret, he had made a fortune in secret. The surprise would only be revealed at the very last moment. Before that, he had to hide his identity and his whereabouts …
Sun Lang thought this. He then placed the giant metal object that he had ordered the craftsmen in the manor to make overnight on his head. He then grabbed a large piece of metal that was leaning against the foot of the wall and slung it over his shoulder to loosen his muscles. With his other hand on his waist, he swaggered through the small door of the side courtyard. Not far to his left, there was a group of people kneeling grandly, listening to the imperial envoy read out the imperial edict.
At this time, Qin Hui had already changed into the uniform of an imperial envoy and was surrounded by the imperial envoy guards. Compared to yesterday, she looked much more pretentious. Sun Lang adjusted the giant helmet on his head and glanced through a small slit in it. They hadn't seen each other for a few years, but this old friend hadn't changed much. She was still that refined and courteous, still that gentle and heavy, still that … fake.
What was that saying again?
When you are gazing at Shenzhen, Shenzhen is also gazing at you.
Mr. Qin was holding the Imperial Edict, his voice clear and melodious as he announced the Imperial Edict. Perhaps only now did he truly understand how heavy, how majestic, and how powerful the Imperial Edict was. It was above everyone's head, and all the power of this great country maintained its majesty and righteousness. With just one Imperial Edict and a gold medallion, even if it was a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, a dragon among men, a general who commanded tens of millions of soldiers, or an arrogant minister, they would all be forced to lower their arrogant heads … Even if the person reading the Imperial Edict or holding the gold medallion was only a lowly beggar, it would still be the same.
This was imperial power. Its will could allow a lowly and weak person to instantly have power and influence that could surpass the world.
It was truly … wonderful.
Qin Hui sighed in her heart and then immediately gathered her thoughts. This power was powerful but ethereal. Whether it existed or not depended on the Emperor's will. Only with true power could one not be moved by external things … that was what she wanted.
This was the first time he was announcing the imperial edict. He had rehearsed it many times in advance. He had prepared emergency plans for all the unexpected situations. All the steps, the changes in tone, the speed of the speech, everything was clear in his heart. However, even if the poor Sir Qin had calculated everything, he would never have thought that at this solemn moment when everyone was kneeling and listening to the imperial edict, and the entire manor was bowing their heads, there would be a strange man with a bare upper body, wearing a huge triangular helmet that almost covered his upper body, and carrying a large iron blade, silently and arrogantly passing through the small courtyard next to them.
Now that the weather had turned cold, the green bamboo planted in the side courtyard rustled as the wind blew. In this silent atmosphere, a person dressed so strangely and even strangely slowly moved added a sense of mystery to the scene. In his shock, Sir Qin almost bit his tongue. This kind of sudden situation was completely out of Qin Hui's expectations. Even with Sir Qin's mental strength and eloquence, he couldn't help but stutter. He cried out involuntarily, "Who are you?"
With these words, everyone listening to the imperial edict raised their heads in unison and followed the imperial envoy's gaze. They saw that the small courtyard was serene, and the sound of the bamboo forest was quiet and cold. Where was the shadow of a person?
Qin Hui pointed in the direction of the small courtyard. "There was a person holding a weapon and wearing a large iron helmet who was just spying on this place!"
Hearing this, the imperial envoy guards immediately raised their weapons and charged toward the small courtyard.
Hu Shouxin's reaction was even faster and seemed to be the most reliable. His figure flashed and in an instant, he exploded and charged in the direction of the small courtyard. He directly jumped onto the wall and then onto the treetops. He looked down from above and when he came back, there was still shock on his face. He directly asked, "Daren, what did you just see?"
Very quickly, the imperial envoy guards searched around but didn't see anything. Wan Yuanzhong ran back with a blank expression. "Daren, there's no way to hide someone there. Our brothers looked all around, but where was the murderer?"
Qin Hui looked at Hu Shouxin and stammered, "Elder brother didn't notice anything strange?
When you were listening to the imperial edict, you didn't notice anyone passing by? "
At this time, Zhao Feihuang had already been helped up by Xu Qingluan. Hearing this, he said, "Someone passed by?
A murderer?
It can't be. Sir Imperial Envoy, the Marquis of Jingan's household is very strict. Hearing that daren had arrived this morning, this young girl already gave the order that the family members and servants were not allowed to move around to prevent these boorish people from offending the imperial envoy … … the Marquis fu's family rules are like a mountain. There definitely won't be anyone who would violate them. "
"Then it must be a criminal harboring malicious intentions!"
Qin Hui only looked at Hu Shouxin. In the past, Old Hu was a fierce general in the army and was in charge of breaking through formations in the Imperial Army. He was one of the best divine archers in the army and could be ranked in the top three in the Tian Yuan Ming Weapon Chart. This divine archer paid attention to having clear eyes and ears and having a sharp divine sense. Even if it was an insect flapping its wings or an ant crawling by, as long as Hu Shouxin was willing to listen, this sound would definitely not escape his ears — — Just now, everyone was kneeling to listen to the imperial edict. Only Qin Hui, who was standing while reading the imperial edict, saw that strange triangular head. But if there was anyone present who could notice anything strange, it would definitely be Hu Shouxin in front of her!
Unfortunately, under Qin Hui's expectant gaze, a strange light flashed through Hu Shouxin's eyes. He then shook his head: "I didn't notice anything strange … … At this distance, if someone walked past, they definitely wouldn't escape my divine sense. Daren, did you see wrongly?"
Qin Hui looked at the imperial envoy guards that ran over.
Wan Yuanzhong also shook his head: "Daren, although this humble one's martial arts are shallow, it can be considered ten years of bitter cultivation. Even if I was kneeling to listen to the imperial edict, if someone walked past, it would definitely attract my attention … … there's no one."
The other people were also nodding.
After Zhao Feihuang heard Qin Hui's description, he laughed in spite of himself: "Bare-Chested, wearing a giant metal helmet, and also carrying a giant weapon?
Marquis Jingan fu abides by the law and is upright, how could they raise that kind of criminal?
Don't mention that kind of weapon, even if it's a saber, a spear, a sword, or a halberd used to guard the house, you wouldn't be able to find many of them in the entire marquis fu. Daren's eyes must have gone blurry … … As for criminals with bad intentions and so on, our marquis fu is kind to others. Our family customs are strict, upright, and we have a reputation outside. The entire marquis fu is filled with righteousness and is not something that cowardly criminals can covet. Moreover, the guards also didn't notice anything strange … … "
Qin Hui looked around at the confused crowd. No one believed his words, but he believed his own eyes.
He really did see that kind of monster … … it definitely wasn't an illusion, it definitely wasn't!
His mind spun rapidly, recalling the expressions of everyone just now.
The imperial envoy guards' faces were filled with hesitation. They really didn't notice it.
The miscellaneous people of Marquis Jingan fu also had baffled expressions. They also didn't notice it.
Young Miss Zhao's expression was magnanimous, her gaze inexplicably thoughtful. It should be that other than being baffled, she was still pondering whether there was that kind of person in the fu … … she also seemed to be completely unaware of this.
But … …
The steward next to her stared straight at the ground, his expression somewhat unnatural.
And Hu Shouxin … …
His gaze … … also wasn't right … … In his eyes, there wasn't only shock and suspicion … … there was also something else … …
In an instant, Qin Hui's heart turned cold. In his eyes, this grand and magnificent Marquis Jingan fu was no longer safe. Instead, it was filled with strangeness and eeriness. The strange person that suddenly appeared, the clueless people, each with their own secrets. This mission, as expected, was not that simple.
He quietly lowered his eyelids, hiding the coldness in his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, they were already filled with shame and shame. He smiled awkwardly: "Perhaps this official is tired from the journey these past two days and is somewhat absent-minded. For a moment, my eyes were blurred, resulting in this kind of joke. I've really let Young Miss Zhao see a joke … …"
Zhao Feihuang pursed her lips into a smile: "Imperial Envoy daren carries the Emperor's orders and is tired from the journey. This little girl admires you very much for being so loyal to your duties."
After this incident, the imperial edict was hastily announced. The imperial edict was handed over to Zhao Feihuang. In a while, it would be sent to the ancestral shrine of the Zhao family to be offered. The incense table was removed. After the ceremony, the group entered the main hall of the marquis fu, preparing to discuss official matters.
Hu Shouxin seemed to be somewhat nervous. He first looked around vigilantly, then quickly walked over to Qin Hui's side, saying in a low voice: "Worthy younger brother, there must be a demon behind this abnormal situation. Be careful … …"
Hearing this, Qin Hui sneered in his heart — — be careful?
Be careful of who?
I didn't think that you, Hu Shouxin, would also be dishonest!
Now he's still pretending to be a good person?
Even though he was thinking this, on the surface, he still smiled lightly: "Many thanks for elder brother's concern. Little brother will naturally be careful.
But elder brother's divine might is unrivalled. This Marquis Jingan fu is also a dignified family of martyrs. How could there be thieves causing trouble? "
Hu Shouxin's expression was subtle and he smiled somewhat awkwardly.
This smile, in Qin Hui's eyes, unquestionably became a guilty conscience. He glanced indifferently at Hu Shouxin and then looked at Zhao Feihuang who was walking in front.
Struggle, scheme, laugh foolishly. You must feel that everything is within your control. I am an idiot who does not know anything, foolishly stepping into your trap. But don't be happy too early. The smart people in this world are not just the few of you. Who is the prey, who is the hunter, who stepped into whose trap, you will understand sooner or later.
At that time, I will look at your stupid faces filled with regret and enjoy the joy of victory.
Pretending to be mysterious, pretending to be mysterious, do you think you can scare me like this?
Watch as I beat you at your own game and show you my power first!
Then, I will … … capture you all in one fell swoop!
