"After I left Beijing yamen prison the night before yesterday, I ordered Xiao Wu to arrange people to see if anyone would come to visit Zhan yunjiao -"
At first, I just took care to see if there would be so-called suspicious people, that is, whether there would be accomplices with Zhan yunjiao.
Although this may have been minimal.
Xu Mingyi roughly guessed his intention: "what's the result?"
He has always acted well, and even did many things she didn't know when she didn't know, but now she is experienced - he never said useless words, and he wouldn't have talked to her afterwards if it hadn't been for the results.
"As a result, last night I waited for a middle-aged man who claimed to be a member of the Zhan family, and indeed saw Zhan yunjiao." Wu Tsui didn't sell the point, but went straight to the point and said: "relying solely on the identity of the so-called Zhan family, naturally I can't see such a recidivist. According to the investigation, this man was allowed to see someone by Ji Fuyin through the relationship of the Shangshu house of the Ministry of military."
"I didn't notice much about it, and I haven't had time to talk to you in detail this morning." Wu Chiu looked at Xu Mingyi and said, "but Zhan yunjiao suddenly changed her mouth today, which is very noteworthy."
The minister's office of the Ministry of war has a motive.
The night visit to the Beijing yamen prison happened to meet the conditions——
Xu Mingyi's eyes changed.
Therefore, it is not the Zhan clan who borrowed the relationship of the Shangshu Office of the Ministry of war to visit the young generation who made mistakes. But the minister's office of the Ministry of war went to see Zhan yunjiao under the cover of Zhan's people.
However, what conditions did the minister's office of the Ministry of war offer to make Zhan yunjiao seem so willing to change her confession?
Is it conditional on saving her—— Besides, she couldn't think of anything else that could move Zhan yunjiao.
But will Zhan yunjiao believe such an impractical and risky lie?
Even if she had no choice but to be skeptical, Zhan yunjiao was not a determined person. The Shangshu house of the Ministry of war was not afraid that she would disclose the matter?
Or is it that the minister's office of the Ministry of war is absolutely sure that Zhan yunjiao can be held to death?
Xu Mingyi thought too much for a moment and couldn't help being distracted.
Until Wu Tsung spoke again.
"It is said that Xia Tingzhen and Ji Xiu are now tit for tat in the court hall, and they have offered suggestions in front of the saint several times. Unexpectedly, Ji Xiu has the upper hand."
Xu Mingyi looked at him quite unexpectedly.
In Ningyang, he has always been clear about these?
However, it's not surprising to think about it. After all, this man is a grandson of the Wu family. He has always been interested in political affairs. Maybe he has developed the habit of daily homework since he was a child.
Speaking of homework, the young man in front of him really looked like a gentleman. He didn't forget to test her: "do you think it's more or less different?"
Xu Mingyi nodded.
She knew that the difference in his mouth was not the relationship between Jixiu and Xia Tingzhen. After all, it was her and Wu Tsui that made the fire burn, which put Jixiu on the black pot of calculating Xia Han.
Really different? Not only did Ji Xiu not suffer losses in this contest, but he has also been favored by Emperor Qingming recently.
"My grandfather and I talked about this in private. My grandfather decided that according to his understanding of Jixiu, someone must be giving advice for him."
This Ji Shangshu was not so good at playing with power and tactics.
Otherwise, as the greatest contributor to supporting emperor Qingming to ascend the throne? He won't be crushed by Xia Tingzhen all these years? Even the military power has been divided out, most of it.
Wu Chiu nodded and said, "the Duke of the town really expected things like God."
Xiao Qi on one side heard the speech and said it was a pity.
It's a pity that such a sincere flattery didn't pat face-to-face.
"It's impossible to predict things like God." Xu Mingyi said modestly for his grandfather, "it's just that he knows more about Ji Xiu? He has known him for a longer time."
Say? He asked, "do you know why?"
"It is said that a new staff member has come to the Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of war."
New staff?
Know what he says "hear"? It can't really be heard from the street? Xu Mingyi hurriedly asked, "what's the origin of this staff?"
"Just because the origin became a mystery? He was noticed by Xuesheng teahouse." Wu Tsui didn't hide anything from her: "not only the origin became a mystery, but also his age and appearance, and even whether he was male or female, he hasn't been seen in front of anyone since he entered the Shangshu mansion."
Xu Mingyi: "is it so strange?"
"Well, he should also be regarded as a capable man." Wu Tsui objectively commented: "just from the perspective of his strategies? The intention of investing in the emperor's heart is particularly deep? But he has no regard for the advantages and disadvantages of the real overall situation? It's not too much to say that his mind is not right."
Such people? Even if there is talent, it is also a talent for disaster.
Xu Mingyi could not help frowning slightly: "where did Ji Xiu find such a person..."
And never show up in front of people
Is there something unusual about the origin?
After all, if you only have an aide, it's not something you need to hide.
Or? Is Jixiu afraid that this person's talent will be watched by others and even used by others?
According to this, if there is such a person behind Ji Xiu, I'm afraid Xia Xi and Zhan yunjiao are mostly related to this person.
"We can't just forget about it," Wu Tsui said as he put down the tea lamp in his hand.
Xu Mingyi was thinking about the staff. At first, he heard such a sentence and said subconsciously: "the situation is so that Xia Xi can't escape this time."
Wu Tsung glanced at her.
What is this girl thinking?
"I'm talking about the minister's office of the Ministry of war."
Xia Xi doesn't have to worry about it, but in this matter, while calculating that the Xia family wanted to destroy the Xia family and win over the champion of the new science by marriage, the Shangshu house of the Ministry of military took Xu Mingyi as bait, which almost put her in danger. Of course, this account can't be settled like this.
"You say this..."
Xu Mingyi understood what he meant, but he smiled: "the so-called war is not tired of fraud, but he was calculated by others. What's the big deal?"
She didn't care, but Wu Tsung was stunned: "aren't you angry?"
"Don't be angry." Xu Mingyi answered naturally, "these are not the fights among little girls. If they stab me, I can raise my feet and kick people into the lotus pond. The Ji family used me, and I used to use Ji Xiu in the past. They are all in the vortex of this struggle. They just rely on their abilities."
Wu Tsui didn't speak for a moment. She just looked at her quietly, and her eyes seemed to be thinking.
Xu Mingyi said again, "besides, on weekdays, if you take a breath easily, it will also come out. But now, if you take a shot at Ji Xiu, won't you ask Xia Tingzhen to reap profits in vain? Don't say you take a breath at that time, it's too late to block your heart."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help asking, "normally, these shouldn't be the first things you consider, right?"
He is clearly the first person to look at the overall situation.
"It's different."
"What's different?"
"You are different." the boy answered without hesitation.
She is different from everyone, even including himself.
Xu Mingyi was stunned at first, and then his eyes overflowed with a smile. He hung his eyes and took a sip of tea.
It was because of her that there was an exception.
Wu Tsung looked at her as if he was afraid that she thought he was impulsive, immature, and young people didn't want to be looked down upon by the girl they liked, so he abnormally explained: "I won't do anything regardless of the overall situation."
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Of course she knows - she's not even as good as him when it comes to acting well.
However, Wu Tsui felt that the girl in front of him had a loose and perfunctory attitude. Somehow, he said, "I'm not afraid of your grievance --".
Xiao Qi on one side was stunned.
Childe... Why are you still complaining?
Is this the rumored "poor Dafa"?
I have to say, this is too childish, isn't it?
And... Did you forget that he was still standing here because you only saw Miss Xu?
If you react later, will you kill him for face and dignity?
When I was young, I was very nervous. I wanted to quit silently, but I didn't dare to move at all - is there any Kung Fu in the world that can make people instantly invisible? Or is it too late to be deaf?
Just then, the door of the box was knocked from the outside.
Wu Tsui didn't look back, but said, "come in."
The door was pushed open, and the waiter came in with a long beaked copper pot: "I'm here to add tea to my guest!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Qi stepped back carefully - he was really too difficult.
After the man left, there were only two people left in the box.
Xu Mingyi then took his words: "... Don't worry, I don't feel wronged."
If you feel wronged even in such a small matter, what's the so-called big thing to do.
Moreover, the crisis is getting closer and closer, and she has no time to grievance.
Wu Tsui only "um" and said in a warm voice, "remember this account first."
He looked down on her.
In fact, when he first met her, he appreciated her most from his heart. He thought it was a girl who could do great things——
But later, his mood towards her gradually became different. For fear that she would be wronged, he felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart.
But he still doesn't intend to change.
The exception is the exception. She is always the exception with him.
In the future, he will react the same way to the same thing. What if she really feels wronged?
Of course, if she really thinks his actions are inappropriate, he chooses to respect her idea that he wants to do it and she doesn't want him to do it. The two don't conflict.
"Then remember." Xu Mingyi looked at him, ironing the post safely in his heart, with a bright smile in his eyes: "if one day I suddenly feel wronged, I'll tell you."
Looking at such a smiling face, Wu Tsui also smiled at the bottom of his eyes, and his tone became more and more gentle: "OK."
Xu Mingyi then asked, "by the way, I just heard you say about Ji Xiu. It seems that you are very clear about the current situation in Beijing?"
"Just a little knowledge."
"Can you talk to me?" the girl's tone meant to ask for advice with an open mind. While talking, she added a hot tea for him and pushed it in front of him.
What she wants to hear most now is the situation in chaotang.
Listen to my grandfather, my father, and occasionally my mother about the back house of those powerful people.
It's always good to listen more, and everyone looks at it from different angles. If the same thing is said by different people, it will also make her have new thinking and harvest.
"What do you want to hear?"
Wu Chiu picked up the tea and was in a bad mood.
"Whatever you say, anything will do."
Wu Tsung tried to pick something useful to tell her.
When he stopped for tea, Xu Mingyi stood up and opened the window to breathe.
At this time, a spacious oil wall carriage passed on the long street outside the window.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer day by day. For people who pay attention to fine, the car curtains on both sides of the car wall have also been replaced with light gauze.
The wind blew in the afternoon, which lifted the veil for a moment and soon fell down.
But even at this glance, Xu Mingyi saw the people sitting in the car.
It was a girl's face, which was originally a somewhat aural appearance, but there was an air of impatience and pride between the eyebrows and eyes for most of the time.
Or because of the recent recognition that there is more trouble, in addition to irritability, there is more coldness at this time.
That's Xiaxi——
This girl who has been at odds with her all her life.
And just then, it should be the last time she saw Xia Xi - it happened that she opened the window at this time, or it was God's will.
But Xu Mingyi didn't feel too happy.
Of course, there is no sympathy.
Girls such as Xia Xi, who are born and enjoy prosperity, also have many involuntarily. Even if they are just daughters, they are not completely irrelevant to the power struggle of the court. If you don't know how to judge the situation, but act recklessly, regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of honor and disgrace at home, once you are used, it's just an instant.
Therefore, the matter of Xia Xi also added a wake-up call to her again.
Xia Xi will be used as a chess piece by the Ministry of war's Shangshu mansion today, and she may be replaced tomorrow.
My grandfather said that if you want to save your life on the battlefield, you need a knife in your hand in addition to a clear mind.
She is now on the battlefield.
Therefore, these should always be kept in mind.
……
Until she got off the carriage in front of the house, Xia Xi was still complaining: "can you make a good noise and listen to him cry all the way, which hurt my ears."
The nursing mother should "yes" while patting the crying child.
Xue came down from the carriage, picked up the child, held him in his arms, coaxed him patiently and went to the house.
Xia Xi glanced at her mother.
I always feel that when my mother holds the child of my second brother, her eyes are always strange
"Madam, girl..." the porter hurriedly greeted her with a complicated face and said, "the master has been waiting for the girl for a long time. The girl should go directly to the side hall."
Xia Xi frowned.
Father is waiting for her?
Can it be said that... The servant who went to urge her back to the house but hesitated not to say why was sent by his father?
But what did father ask her for?
