Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 147: The Prime Minister's Target! Endure? Endure it, just rush in

"Marquis? Do you know which marquis?"

The Marquis was killed?

That's really not a small matter.

"I think his name is Wanshun Hou!"

Xing'er had only heard someone mention it once.

After thinking carefully for a while, I came up with the title of Wanshun Hou.

"Marquis Wanshun?"

It feels so familiar for some reason.

Ye Liuyun thought about it for a moment and immediately understood.

"It turns out it's him!"

I remembered that it was not long after I replaced Ye Liufeng's identity and became a Jinyiwei.

Once, a young master from a marquis's family was captured.

The other party was none other than Marquis Wanshun. He had originally thought that he would take revenge on himself, but he never received any revenge. Now when he received news from him again, he only knew that Marquis Wanshun was dead.

"Does my husband know this Wanshun Marquis?"

Xing'er didn't understand the twists and turns involved.

But seeing Ye Liuyun's confused look, she thought that this Marquis Wanshun was an acquaintance of her husband.

"I know him, but he should be considered an enemy!"

Even though I never took the other party seriously from the beginning.

"I see!"

Only then did Xing'er nod in sudden realization.

It turns out to be an enemy.

That’s nothing. At first I thought she was my husband’s friend and I had already thought about how to comfort her, but now that you say that, there’s no need to say any words of comfort.

"So, it's better for this person to have more enemies!"

Ye Liuyun thought of something and sighed for no reason.

As soon as these words came out.

Both Xing'er and Qu Sisi looked over in confusion.

It is said that having more friends means having more paths, but I have never heard that having more enemies is good.

"what!"

Ye Liuyun smiled first.

Then he explained.

"Isn't it? If I have many friends, if one of them gets into an accident one day, I'll be heartbroken. But if I have many enemies, after a long time, maybe a little good news will come every three days."

",,,"

That makes sense.

Xing'er and Qu Sisi opened their mouths, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

No, it should be said that it is completely irrefutable.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the two women like this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help laughing.

"Alright! You guys should just stay in the mansion for the time being and try not to leave. If you need anything, just ask the servants to buy it for you!"

Although Marquis Wanshun is not famous, he is still a marquis after all.

Killed in the imperial city.

And from the looks of it, the murderer hasn't been caught yet.

Ye Liuyun inexplicably thought of what Lu Lan had said before: a group of prisoners escaped from Purgatory, including a master. It seemed that these two things should be related in some way.

This can be seen from the fact that the other side first killed 20,000 city defense troops.

The other party must have done it on purpose and wanted to take revenge on Daqian.

After all, after being tortured in purgatory for so long and now that he has finally come out, it is only natural that he would think about revenge on Daqian.

That's the case.

The city defense forces should only be the beginning. The other party's goal is definitely not just the city defense forces.

First was Marquis Wanshun.

Who knows, he might even take action against other officials in the court.

Some powerful people may not be afraid.

But obviously, not all officials in the court can find protection to protect them from the covetousness of the master.

“No wonder people are panicking!”

It’s not difficult to understand.

The richer and more powerful these court officials are, the more they fear death.

Now that he knows that the Grandmaster is targeting him, it would be strange if he is not afraid.

Qu Sisi and Xing'er naturally had no objection to Ye Liuyun's arrangement, and they nodded obediently.

,,,

In the palace.

Seeing Lu Lan coming back, Yan Shuzhu felt much more at ease.

During this period, Lu Lan was not around. Although Yan Shuzhu looked normal on the surface, he was somewhat worried in his heart. Fortunately, he came back.

"how?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

I know what Yan Shuzhu is asking.

Lu Lan nodded immediately.

"Liuyun has returned. I think Your Majesty will be able to see Liuyun during the morning court tomorrow!"

But he didn't ask Ye Liuyun to come to the imperial city right away.

It’s good enough that people are back.

"That's good!"

Hearing this, Yan Shuzhu's expression became more stable.

With Ye Liuyun and Lu Lan both here, all my worries were truly swept away.

"The Imperial City is in a very troubled time these days!"

Thinking about what had happened in the imperial city in recent times, Yan Shuzhu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, those people will definitely be caught!"

Although it's not clear.

No matter where those prisoners who escaped from purgatory are hiding now, as long as they do not leave Daqian, they will be caught sooner or later.

and.

The most troublesome person in this group is just the Grandmaster.

"That's not the only thing I'm worried about!"

Yan Shuzhu shook his head slightly.

In fact, although it is a bit troublesome to catch this group of people, it is not impossible.

Yan Shuzhu was worried about another problem.

"Now that Father is showing signs of breaking through, many people are unable to contain themselves. I'm worried that this is just the beginning. Even if we catch these people, this situation won't stop."

"Those people might come up with other ways to cause trouble in the Imperial City!"

As long as those people have no intention of stopping.

Even if this problem is solved, there will be next time and the next time.

I guess this kind of thing will only be stopped when my father comes out of seclusion completely.

"this,,"

Lu Lan was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"never mind!"

Fortunately, Yan Shuzhu's mentality is still very good.

"No matter what, let's resolve the crisis at hand first. We can talk about the rest later!"

There's no need to worry about things that haven't happened yet.

"I will help your majesty until my death!"

Having followed Yan Shuzhu since childhood, Lu Lan and Yan Shuzhu's relationship is more than just master and servant.

Lu Lan looked at Yan Shuzhu with sincere eyes.

In fact, there are some things that Lu Lan knows, he just didn't say it.

When the old emperor came out of seclusion, the person who should be most worried about him should be Yan Shuzhu.

After all, once the other party comes out, he will definitely sit on the throne again. At that time, Yan Shuzhu will be the first person to be eliminated.

Yan Shuzhu himself also knew about this.

I just didn't say it. I have to face it sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I say it or not.

"it is good!"

Facing Lu Lan's sincere eyes.

Yan Shuzhu also nodded seriously.

,,,

Early the next morning.

Before daybreak, Ye Liuyun once again experienced the feeling of working like a beast of burden.

"Brother Ye!"

Waiting for Ye Liuyun to arrive.

Lei Zheng was already standing and chatting with a group of generals. When he saw Ye Liuyun coming, Lei Zheng smiled and raised his hand to greet him.

"I haven't had time to thank Brother Lei for going to Xihe yet."

Ye Liuyun is not really low in emotional intelligence and knows nothing about the ways of the world.

If Lei Zheng had not warned him in advance, even if Dong Xian would not take the initiative to cause trouble for him, he would not have obeyed his orders so obediently.

"We are all brothers, don't be polite!"

Know what Ye Liuyun means.

Lei Zheng waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly.

It seems that he really doesn't take this matter to heart.

"I've heard about Ji You's affairs. Brother Ye is truly a man of character."

As he spoke, Lei Zheng moved closer to Ye Liuyun, smiled and raised his eyebrows at him.

Look.

Lei Zheng also learned from Dong Xian about some of the things that happened to Ye Liuyun when he set out for Xihe.

No matter what, Ji You is the Minister of Rites, and that is his official position.

Even Lei Zheng had been unhappy with the other party for a long time.

But if Lei Zheng were asked to act as decisively as Ye Liuyun, it would probably be difficult for him to do so.

"I was saying, I feel like I've forgotten something."

only.

After hearing what Lei Zheng said, Ye Liuyun's face was indeed full of enlightenment. No wonder he always felt like he had forgotten something on the way back from Xihe. It turned out that he had forgotten about the Minister of Rites, Ji You.

"But I think Lord Ji will thank me for being able to gallop across the endless prairie."

Ji You’s pampered physique.

Ye Liuyun didn't believe that the other party could return to the imperial city alive from the border.

Moreover, even if he really returned to the imperial city, Ye Liuyun had a way to make him experience what it felt like to go from heaven to hell.

",,,"

Listening to Ye Liuyun's remarks.

Lei Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Good guy.

From what you said, Ji You should thank you very much.

But he didn't care too much. Ye Liuyun's behavior made Lei Zheng think that the other party was on his side and was one of his own.

"Brother Ye, if you encounter any trouble in this imperial city, you can come to me. Although I am not as strong as you, I do know a lot of people in this imperial city, and I think I can be of some help!"

Don’t look at Lei Zheng’s current cultivation level, which is only at the initial stage of the innate realm.

But as the highest-ranking general following General Yue Xiu, Lei Zheng's qualifications are definitely the highest.

All the military generals would give Lei Zheng some face to a certain extent.

"Then if anything happens in the future, Brother Lei, please don't think I'm troublesome!"

"Hahaha! Of course not!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this, Lei Zheng burst into laughter.

As a military general, Lei Zheng doesn't like to speak in a roundabout way.

You only need to express one idea, but the other party can go around in circles for more than ten or twenty times. Lei Zheng likes Ye Liuyun more for directly admitting it.

,,,

soon.

It's time for the morning court session.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Everyone loves you!"

It’s the same old process.

Standing in the crowd, Ye Liuyun followed everyone else in giving a perfunctory greeting, which seemed like he was slacking off at work.

but.

Because there have been a lot of messy things happening in the imperial city recently.

During the morning court session, people are no longer talking about meaningless and trivial matters.

The first person to speak was from the Ministry of Justice.

It’s nothing, it’s just that yesterday, another prince got into trouble.

"Marquis Ning'an was assassinated at home last night and has died!"

First it was Marquis Wanshun, and now it’s Marquis Ning’an. Two marquises were killed in a row, which is already a slap in the face of Daqian.

"presumptuous!"

Even Yan Shuzhu could hardly hide his inner anger at this moment.

A palm slapped the armrest of the dragon throne.

"Don't we have anyone in Daqian who can catch these murderers?"

We clearly know who the person is, but we can't find him after searching the entire imperial city. We can only watch helplessly as the other party attacks again and again. Has Daqian become so corrupt?
There was silence in the court.

No one spoke.

Ye Liuyun didn't intend to get involved at this time. Instead, he looked at Lei Zheng beside him with curiosity.

"Marquis Ning'an?"

Seeing Ye Liuyun looking over.

Lei Zheng explained with a nonchalant look on his face.

"You've only been in the position of Southern Pacification Commissioner for a short time, so there are many things you don't know yet. This Ning'an Marquis is just like Wanshun Marquis, both of whom have little power and are just marquisates in name only."

"However, there is one thing they are exactly the same."

Under Ye Liuyun's curious gaze.

Lei Zheng explained softly, word by word.

"The titles of these two people were granted by the old emperor himself, which means they are both his men!"

"In other words, their main purpose is to deal with the old emperor?"

Ye Liuyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

If the group that escaped from Purgatory wanted revenge, they should have acted indiscriminately.

Instead of doing it with a goal like this.

Sure enough, there is a leader behind this group of people.

,,,

Just when Ye Liuyun was thinking.

Yan Shuzhu's voice sounded again.

"Is there no one in Daqian who can catch these people?"

At first glance, no one spoke or volunteered.

As the leaders of the three forces, no matter whether it was the Nine Thousand Year Old Wei Hongfang, Prime Minister Fu Zhengqing, or General Yue Xiu, they all looked at each other with their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts, and seemed not to care about this matter.

That calm look seemed to indicate that each of them had their own calculations in their hearts.

",,,"

This scene.

Yan Shuzhu, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, couldn't help but clench his fists.

Although he is the emperor, there are really few people in the court who truly take Yan Shuzhu seriously.

"His Majesty!"

at this time.

To everyone's surprise, Fu Zhengqing spoke.

"I'm asking Ye Liuyun, the Southern Pacification Envoy of the Jinyiwei. Before becoming a Pacification Envoy, he had solved numerous cases and was skilled in analysis and arrests. I think handing this matter over to Pacification Envoy Ye would be the most appropriate person, right?"

"???"

Ye Liuyun didn't expect this.

This actually involves me. It feels like the last time when someone sent the princess to Xihe. It was Fu Zhengqing who recommended me.

only.

Something different from last time.

After Fu Zhengqing finished speaking last time, many civil officials agreed with him.

But this time it didn't happen, everyone was just watching.

After all, Ji You’s incident is a lesson for us.

No one is a fool. Now Ye Liuyun is back, but Ji You, the Minister of Rites who sent the princess to Xihe with Ye Liuyun, has not returned. It seems that he will never come back.

What if one of them speaks first this time and is taken away by Ye Liuyun like the first bird to stick its head out?

That's when you have no place to cry.

It is indeed important to cling to Fu Zhengqing, but the most important thing is to survive.

"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to think so highly of me."

Facing Fu Zhengqing's gaze, Ye Liuyun also smiled.

"Young Master Ye Zhenfushi is renowned, so isn't it only natural for me to recommend him?"

Fu Zhengqing said it very naturally.

There is no problem at all.

"Too!"

After looking at Fu Zhengqing for a while, Ye Liuyun suddenly smiled.

"I'm asking who in this world doesn't know my name. I was just born a few years late. If I had been born a little earlier, perhaps the Prime Minister's mother would have been overwhelmed with emotion when she saw me!"

It's already jumped on my face, and you won't let me say a few words?
Ye Liuyun doesn't care about anything.

If you don't curse someone's mother, it won't have any effect. Ye Liuyun particularly likes this point.

",,,"

As expected.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them became strangely quiet.

No one expected that Ye Liuyun would dare to say this in front of Fu Zhengqing.

Although everyone knew that Fu Zhengqing was targeting Ye Liuyun, Fu Zhengqing was a grandmaster after all. Even if Ye Liuyun was dissatisfied, he had to endure it.

But now.

No wonder he could become a young master. His ambition is beyond many people's imagination.

Seeing Fu Zhengqing's face darken, Ye Liuyun suddenly smiled again.

"It was just a joke. The Prime Minister wouldn't be so incapable of taking a joke. I heard that stingy people have rotten crotches. Could the Prime Minister also have a rotten crotch?"

",,,"

It's better not to explain.

Even Lei Zheng, who was standing by, was a little dumbfounded.

Although he had long been dissatisfied with Fu Zhengqing, the head of the civil officials, Lei Zheng really didn't have the courage to say these words to Fu Zhengqing in front of so many people if he were asked to do so.

Be nice.

I thought I was very brave, but I didn't expect there was someone even braver.

"Envoy Ye really knows how to joke."

Fu Zhengqing pulled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile.

"Are you kidding? Then you were joking at the time."

Ye Liuyun shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent look on his face.

Seeing that Fu Zhengqing really had no intention of taking action, Ye Liuyun looked surprised.

It doesn't seem strange at all.

Grand masters like these, although they have achieved some level of cultivation, are always worried about this and that and dare not act rashly.

Just like the great master of the Xihe Dynasty.

You clearly wanted to get information from me, but you had to ask me indirectly. Then why did you cultivate to the level of Grandmaster? Did you do it to endure being bullied?

It would be better to give all your cultivation to me.

It would be a waste to keep it with you.

Ye Liuyun looked relaxed and indifferent.

But the others remained silent when faced with Fu Zhengqing's gloomy face, for fear that Fu Zhengqing would keep him in mind.

Obviously, they did not have the courage like Ye Liuyun to say such words in front of Fu Zhengqing.

"Envoy Ye has said so much, but he still hasn't said whether he is willing to accept this case or not."

Fu Zhengqing looked at Ye Liuyun dangerously.

Said word for word.
