Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

It's a pity that the man in black knew that the task was impossible to complete, so he directly committed suicide.

Although Xie Xiuwen felt it was a pity, he could only go down to see if there were other clues.

Li Shan found a tattoo on the left shoulder of one of them. After Li Si exchanged a glance with him, he quickly began to search for other men in black.

Sure enough, everyone had a tattoo on their left shoulder. The tattoo looked like a spell or a totem, which was unrecognizable.

Xie Xiuwen ordered Douzi to fetch a pen and paper, and then drew the pattern.

When he finished drawing, Li Si stood up with his hands covered in blood.

He peeled the skin off the left shoulder of one of them.

Xie Xiuwen was speechless for a moment.

Well, you are still amazing!

Xie Xiuwen confirmed that he had never seen this mark, so he had to turn to Zhao Yue for help after returning.

He guessed that this should be some kind of organization, either it is the people who specialize in killing and extorting goods in the world, or it is the logo of a certain ethnic group.

After this assassination, Xie Xiuwen boarded the ship the next day and started to walk by water again.

He wasn't sure exactly who had betrayed him, so he could only choose to temporarily change the plan.

There is more than one boat on the waterway, if the other party can assassinate him more accurately, then this ghost will be narrowed down to a range that is easier to detect.

Xie Xiuwen went back to Beijing to take his mission. He was dressed in dust and dust. He didn't have time to say a few words to his family when he got home, so he changed into his official uniform and entered the palace.

What Xie Xiuwen brought back was not only some account books, but also the testimony of some local subordinates.

Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, Emperor Jingwen walked down the steps and helped him up himself.

"Xie Aiqing has worked hard all the way. I heard that you were assassinated on the way back? Are you surprised?"

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. This minister is fine. Thanks to the safety of General Feng Zhonglang, this minister can ensure safety."

"Well, he should be rewarded for his good work, and you should be rewarded for his good work!"

"Being loyal to His Majesty is the duty of a humble minister. I dare not ask extravagant rewards, but only ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision."

This is a matter of mentioning the officials of Xiangzhou Prefecture.

Emperor Jing Wen had received the secret letter sent back by Zhao Yue, so he naturally knew that it involved a lot.

Of course he will not spare those people, not only accepting bribes, but also daring to embezzle court taxes, and even dare to buy and sell official positions outside without permission.

"Don't worry, I won't let your work go in vain. Since you are back and it has been hard work, I will grant you half a month's leave to spend time with your family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Xiuwen hastily kowtowed to thank Shengen, it is of course a good thing to have a holiday, but it is necessary to take a good rest.

Following Xie Xiuwen's return to the mansion, there were also flowing rewards from the Holy Spirit pouring into Xie's mansion.

Emperor Jing Wen also gained experience in rewarding things, knowing that Xie Xiuwen dotes on his wife and daughters, so the rewards are basically things that women like.

Not to mention the hundred taels of gold and silver each, the handfuls of pearls, the bolts of brocade, the pieces of beautiful jade...

They are all good things that Xie Rongzhao likes.

Xie Xiuwen is now the fourth-rank Shangshu Zuo Cheng, who holds real power in his hands and has won the emperor's favor, so he is naturally praised as a new nobleman of the court. Just kill Xie Zuocheng, who overthrew dozens of court officials.

With half a month of vacation, Xie Xiuwen naturally took his wife and daughter to Fuyuan Villa for leisure.

Of course, before leaving, he handed the pattern he drew to Zhao Yue. As for the corpses of those people, they had been handed over to the local government for disposal. Xie Xiuwen had left a message before, so the corpses were shelved in Yizhuang. Zhao Yue If Yue wants to check, just send someone over directly.

When Xie Xiuwen arrived at Fuyuan Villa, the young boys began to tremble.

They are not afraid of Mr. Stern, but Mr. Xie who doesn't show any expression of joy or anger.

When Xie Ronghui learned that his father had returned from business, he went out of his way to report the crime to County Magistrate Chen and hurried to the villa.

It is rare for Xie Xiuwen to have such a long vacation, so he simply gave them an hour-long class every day, and then personally supervised their strategies, especially Xie Ronghui's, which was the object of his focus.

"Next year in autumn, do you want to give it a try?"

Xie Ronghui looked a little excited: "Returning to father, my son really wants to give it a try."

"Well, if you are still at this level, then I don't agree with your end. Your article is much better than before, and it is no longer just a flowery empty talk, but it is still a bit short of fire. My father asked you to follow Chen The experience around the county magistrate is to hope that you can see with your own eyes the hardships of the people, and also see the regulations of the officials."

"Yes, my son understands."

Xie Xiuwen tapped his fingers on his knee a few times: "Now your household registration has been with your father to the capital, and if you participate in the autumn next year, you don't need to go back to your original place. You have to remember, my father will not do it because of you." Some insulting things. The scientific examination is a fair competition among the students in the world. As the father has just verified the case of 'counterfeiting', he must lead by example."

Xie Ronghui understood, this is to let him study steadily, don't think that his father is the fourth-rank Shangshu Zuocheng, and just try to take shortcuts.

"Yes, my son understands. There are indeed shortcomings in my son's articles. My son will work hard and will not let his father down."

Xie Xiuwen tilted his head to look at him, narrowed his eyes and said, "You are wrong!"

Xie Ronghui's heart trembled. He raised his head and took a careful look at his father, then quickly lowered his eyes.

I don't know when, his respect for his father has become higher and higher day by day.

"Please tell my father."

"If you do not pass the exam, as a father, you will not be disappointed, because it can only mean that you have not learned your knowledge. If you fail the exam, the most uncomfortable thing is yourself, not others. Therefore, for your own sake, you will not be accepted by others in the future. Cold-eyed, you should work hard to learn and work hard.”

Xie Ronghui felt his heart shake, and he saluted quickly: "Yes, my son will remember his father's teachings."

"Go."

Xie Xiuwen shifted his eyes to the article on the desktop, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "If it is at this level, it will be futile to end next year."

He didn't mean to suppress just now, but told the truth.

He read Cheng Jingzhou's article and was amazed.

Compared with Cheng Jingzhou's, Xie Ronghui's article is more than a notch lower.

If there is no accident, Cheng Jingzhou will definitely be on the list in next year's provincial examination!

As long as Xie Xiuwen thinks that such an excellent young man is his future son-in-law, Xie Xiuwen's mood is very complicated.

Both happy and a little disgusted; both proud and a little dissatisfied...

Xie Xiuwen flipped through two more pages and found Xie Ronlang's homework.

Today, Liu Ruolan took Xie Rongzhao to a banquet at County Magistrate Chen's home. Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes several times, knowing that he was going to see Miss Chen's family.

"Aniang, how is the sister of the Chen family? Have you asked the elder brother if he likes that sister Chen?"
