Chapter 575: Strong Points and Tumblers (I)

"This Ziyi Marquis is so calm. In the past three days, we have left her aside, and she is not in a hurry at all." Xiao Han felt more and more that this Ziyi Marquis was the king of the Ziyi Society, Xiu Ziyi, whom he was looking for.

Although there are many people in the world with the same name and surname, there is no such coincidence. Xiu Ziyi has a very high level of cultivation, but in order to conceal himself, she would send someone to assassinate him and Ouyang Ke!

By the way, the identity of the assassin is a bit strange, and it seems to be very familiar. Could it be that Xiu Ziyi himself is not?

Logically speaking, assassinating a country bumpkin who has never seen the market and a person who is trapped in his hands and feet does not need a god-level master to take action personally, and he also learns that she does not want to make trouble for others, so as not to backfire and get rid of the matter!

If Xiu Ziyi really took action personally, then she could not kill herself and be so calm. What is the reason? Could it be that she really thought she would replace the false Sun Wukong. If this is true, she shouldn't assassinate Ouyang Ke again? Isn't this intentional flaws revealing, and it makes people doubt it?

"I think this assassin must have never thought that his lord was Sun Wukong himself, so he must have thought that we had deliberately dropped the person." Xiao Lu could not judge what was going on here. He could only analyze it according to the normal idea.

"This explanation makes sense, but you can explain a little bit, why do we do this? Do we know in advance that someone will enter the Public Security Bureau building to kill people and silence people? Is a mere rural rich man who came out to see the market worthy of assassination by a god-level master?" Xiao Han asked back.

"Also, in addition to me, the killer also attacked Ouyang Ke, which was fatal. If I were not present, Ouyang Ke would have killed me on the spot, so I couldn't kill me, but instead went to kill Ouyang Ke. It was obvious that the killer's target was two of us, no, three, and Ouyang Ke's subordinate. But you came very quickly. The killer killed Ouyang Ke and alarmed me. He didn't have time to kill the third person, so he had to escape first." Xiao Han continued to analyze the killer's motives and target.

"So according to the lord's wish, why is this killer going to kill Ouyang Ke and the lord and other three people?"

"Identity, the three of us all know a common secret, that is, the Ziyi Hou is a master with high cultivation but very good at hiding!" Xiao Han said, "So she must eliminate the authentication and physical evidence that can reveal her identity and cultivation information."

"It is indeed possible. Only this explanation is reasonable." Xiao Lu agreed with Xiao Han's judgment. In addition to this reason, he really couldn't imagine why when Ouyang Feng led people to attack the Public Security Bureau, a killer secretly sneaked into the detention room and wanted to kill Xiao Han and others.

"The assassination cannot be done. The opponent obviously knows that we have a precaution, so of course we won't show up easily, but I feel that if there is another chance, this killer will still appear." Xiao Han asked, "I asked you to send someone to stare at the Ziyi Marquis Mansion. Who has been in and out of the Ziyi Marquis Mansion these three days? Have Ziyi Marquis left the Mansion? They have all been to those places?"

"There is no movement in the Ziyi Marquis' Mansion. Except for the craftsmen entering the venue every day, there are no strangers entering. It's just that the maid of Ziyi Marquis' Miss Xiao Yuan has been to the Hongxiutianxiang branch in Mengge City twice." Liu Shun replied.

"Where did she do what?" Xiao Han asked.

"Maybe I'm getting customized clothes for Mr. Ziyi. Although Mr. Ziyi rarely shows up, women always love beauty. In Mengge City, that woman is not proud of having a piece of clothing from Hongxiu Tianxiang. Mr. Ziyi orders dozens of clothes from Hongxiu Tianxiang every year, and she doesn't lack this amount of money anyway!" Liu Shundao.

"This Ziyi Hou is quite fashionable, but he orders so many clothes every day and wears them at home. Who can I show you? I admire you?" Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Isn't this woman wearing beautiful clothes just for men to see. When this Ziyi Hou bought so many clothes, she just looked in the mirror by herself. It's better not to wear them after wearing them!" Xiao Lu said.

"Okay, let's get back to the point, give Ouyang Lin's entourage this time to the ghost, and let her list everyone's personality and weaknesses so that we can do it." Xiao Han ordered Liu Shundao.

"Yes, lord." Liu Shun was shocked. Details determine success or failure. This seemed like a very careful order, but it contained such great wisdom. Ouyang Lin might not be easy to deal with, but his subordinates may not be able to be like him. Maybe select a few people from them to start, and Ouyang Lin's every move in Mengge City will be completely controlled.

"Xiao Lu, let me release the news, saying that someone took advantage of Ouyang Feng's attack on the Public Security Bureau to infiltrate and assassinate Ouyang Ke. Because the situation was chaotic, the assassin escaped. Ouyang Ke was seriously injured and was out of danger now!" Xiao Han ordered Xiao Lu to say.

"Master, why are you only announced the assassination of Ouyang Ke? And here you..."

"Don't some people want to kill someone with a knife? Then force him out!" Xiao Han said viciously.

Purple-Yellow Marquis Mansion, Embroidered Building.

"Xiao Yuan, what did you say, say it again?" The Ziyi Hou's eyes were filled with surprise. The person who was bound to die had actually survived. This was impossible. Could it be that Ouyang Ke was also a substitute? This was impossible. If Sun Wukong was replaced, she was still suspicious, but Ouyang Ke would not admit his mistake. If that knife continued, it would be wrong to be in the center.

"Miss, Ouyang Ke is seriously injured, but he is not dead yet. It is said that he has passed the dangerous period." Xiao Yuan was also very nervous. The lady went to the Public Security Bureau to kill people. Others may not know the big ones, but she knew it. For this reason, in order to cope with the suspicion of the government, they deliberately created a certificate that the Ziyi Hou returned to the house and had not been out of the room.

"Since the person is not dead, why did the news be announced three days later?" The Ziyi Hou's face turned cold, and the matter became more and more beyond her control.

"I heard that the Ouyang family sent someone to come. It was an alien elder named Ouyang Lin. I guess the Black-hearted Governor was afraid that he could not hide it anymore, so he announced it in advance. As for not publishing it in advance, he was also afraid that Ouyang Ke would die in his hands. Now Ouyang Ke is not dead, so the Black-hearted Governor has more room for maneuver." Xiao Yuan said.

"Xiao Yuan, I want to go to Yimengge City Prison tonight. Do you know where Ouyang Ke is now?" The Marquis of Ziyi didn't believe that the person who stabbed his heart could survive with one knife. This was the most incredible thing she had lived for so long. There were countless masters who died in her hands, and it would be fine if they could not be killed, but I have never heard of anyone who survived with the one he must kill.

"Miss, now the Governor's Office has exposed the news of Ouyang Ke's assassination and serious injury. It is obvious that he will be arranged in a very safe place. In a short period of time, our strength cannot find Ouyang Ke's hiding place." Xiao Yuan pouted.

"Since Yan Hui cooperated with Heita, I felt that this Heita didn't want to be the former black-hearted governor. He was like a different person. There must be an amazing secret here. The most fierce person caught by the Black Flame clan, which can be said to be the biggest enemy of the Black Flame clan, but he actually transformed into the biggest benefactor of the Black Flame clan. He also helped the Black Flame clan obtain a residence permit in the Black Flame province and allow the Black Flame clan to obtain a civilian status. At first, I thought he had ulterior motives, but I didn't expect that he actually did it." Purple-Yi Hou said with a gentleman.

"Didn't the lady say that this black-hearted governor wants to use the excuse of protecting the Black Flame Clan to unify the Black Tower Province?" Xiao Yuan said.

"Maybe this is just one of his goals, but he is indeed helping the Black Flame Clan. This is nothing like the previous Black Tower Governor. If I hadn't seen his lifelong cultivation, I almost suspected that the Black Tower Governor had been dismantled." said the Ziyi Hou.

In fact, the Ziyi Hou did not give up on suspicion, but the black tower could be lost, but the Fire Cloud Evil God was not a casual master. Moreover, the relationship between the Black Tower and the Fire Cloud Evil God was not as close as the legendary intimacy. The two were just a simple employment relationship, which she knew very well.

"Xiao Yuan, give an invitation to the Governor's Office, which means that we are the foundation laying ceremony of our Tianxiang Entertainment City today, and invite him to attend!" The Marquis of Ziyi ordered.

"Miss, I'm not ready yet. Is this too hasty?" Xiao Yuan said with some difficulty in keeping up with the thoughts of Ziyi Hou.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a foundation laying ceremony. It's just a piece of burying it. It's not that complicated." The Marquis of Ziyi raised his hand and said indifferently.

"Miss, the other nobles in Mengge City?"

"Please ask for those with a net worth of over 10 million. Please choose a few others with some reputation and send an invitation."

Xiao Lu, who returned to the Governor's Office from the prison, took a sip of tea before taking a sip of tea. Jian Wu walked into the study with a big red invitation.

"Governor General, the Marquis of Ziyi ordered people to send an invitation, saying that it was the foundation laying ceremony of Tianxiang Entertainment City tomorrow at 9 o'clock, and you were invited to attend." Jian Wu respectfully handed the invitation to Xiao Lu.

"Oh, Mr. Ziyi has been doing a lot of things these days. Tianxiang Entertainment City will start construction tomorrow? Is she sufficient funds?" Xiao Lu asked in surprise.

"I don't know, the old nobleman of the Purple-Yiyi City for more than a hundred years. Although the population is not strong, he is still a little old-fashioned after all, and he may be able to give out the money." Jian Wu was not easy to say. After all, the intelligence personnel are not omnipotent, especially the low-key Marquis Mansion, which has never paid much attention, is only listed as a second-level B in Liu Shun's intelligence work level. For the sake of her aristocrat, even now, the intelligence level has only been increased by one level to reach the second-level A level. All the information about the Purple-Yiyi marquis Mansion is being collected nervously. Some useful materials that can be provided are obtained from the materials accumulated over the years.

"When will the people from the Ouyang family arrive?" Xiao Lu asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon, the specific time is still unclear." Jian Wudao.

"Where is the imperial envoy in the imperial capital?" Xiao Lu asked again.

"It may be the morning after tomorrow, the imperial envoy and his group will have more people, and the speed will be slower, and maybe it may be even later!" Jian Wu replied cautiously.

"Well, if you go back to the people from the Ziyi Marquis' Mansion, you will say that I will definitely support you!" Xiao Lu thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, Governor!" After receiving the order, Jian Wu quickly walked out of the study.

What came towards him was Jian Er, the intelligence leader of the Governor's Office, who was Liu Shun. When the two of them had their eyes intersected, Liu Shun hurriedly rang Xiao Lu's study room.

After getting Xiao Lu's permission, Liu Shun pushed the door and walked in.

"I have received news from the imperial capital. The imperial envoy and his team of about 300 people set off from the imperial capital this afternoon, riding on the flying monster thorn bird. It is estimated that they will arrive in Mongo City the morning after tomorrow. There are two imperial envoys, one is Dong Jianhui, the Bauhinia Hou, and the other is Liu Kuisheng, the Minister of Revenue, who is known as the tumbler." Liu Shun reported.

"Two people?" Xiao Lu looked up in surprise. Did the emperor take the wrong medicine or be confused. One of these two people was tortured to the end of the case. In addition to nodding, he would send one to the mud. Fortunately, he would deal with each other when he was fighting each other. Anyway, he would deal with each other when he came together. That was because the emperor was afraid that Dong Jianhui, a stubborn donkey, would make things worse and difficult to deal with, so he would send it to the mud to restrain him.

What did the emperor think? Did he want to take this opportunity to suppress the Ouyang family, or did he not want to make things difficult for the Ouyang family, but in order to show the royal justice, he had to send Dong Jianhui over?

"Who is the chief and deputy of these two imperial envoys?" Xiao Lu asked.

"I didn't say it, but before leaving, the emperor specially summoned the Marquis of Bauhinia." Liu Shundao.

"So the emperor is still inclined to suppress the Ouyang family. Liu Kuisheng sent over here to save the scene just in case the suppression is too much." Xiao Lu judged.

"No matter what, we have confiscated the property of the Ouyang family in Mengge City. Can we still return these?" Liu Shundao.

"It is true that we confiscate the property of the Ouyang family. Although there is a reason for this, according to the law, we cannot take other people's property as our own. Otherwise, we will violate the law first. Therefore, we must also look at the handling of the case by the imperial envoy. Whether these property will be sent back or confiscated to compensate our losses will be further stated." Xiao Lu said.

"Sir, the money cannot be moved yet?" Liu Shun asked.

"You are stupid. You don't have any money and feet. Don't you have any money and goods? Are there no way for those real estate? " Xiao Lu glanced at this intelligence leader who has followed Heita for decades, who has been with Heita for decades.

Liu Shun was shocked. He really thought that the Governor did not intend to touch the wealth that Ouyang Family had plundered from various industries in Mengge City. It turned out that he didn't want to put the handle into the hands of others.

The Governor's Office has the final say, but the Ouyang family said it does not, so they can be confident and bold in selling the Ouyang family's wealth, leaving some replenishment scenes, and just go through the motions.

"Immediately inform the lord of the two imperial envoys, and tell the lord about the matter of the two imperial envoys, and tell the lord about the groundbreaking ceremony, and listen to the lord's plan." Xiao Lu ordered Liu Shundao.

Liu Shun went to prison and saw Xiao Han, reporting on the two things.

As for the first one, be careful when dealing with it. When he deals with it, he doesn't know what trouble will happen to the Purple-Yuan Hou. However, Xiao Lu adapted to the situation, but the emperor sent two imperial envoys in one go, which is a bit intriguing. The political struggle in the imperial capital is very complicated. The emperor needs some ministers to charge for him. This Bauhinia Marquis Dong Jianhui is undoubtedly one of them. And that Liu Kuisheng has been in the center of power for a long time and has the highest status, but his power is not great. However, he has been able to live in the court for nearly a hundred years. This old guy is definitely not an idiot, otherwise he would not be called a tumbler. Who can be an official for a hundred years? This is not just because there are people in the harem that are so simple!

This Liu Kuisheng must have something extraordinary about him.

Liu Kuisheng does have extraordinary places. The imperial power has changed smoothly for nearly a hundred years. Although Liu Kuisheng's sister became the imperial concubine and gave birth to a prince, he, the uncle, always had the same heart as the emperor. When the emperor died, he supported the crown prince who ascended the throne. Therefore, many people know that Liu Kuisheng is actually a hard-core royalist. The reason why he wants to mix with the court is that the imperial power will inevitably conflict with the power of aristocratic families. At this time, if there is no intermediary to match it, the conflict will easily intensify. Liu Kuisheng did this job, so the emperor understood his role, but such a person is the role. If you let him take charge of the important tasks, it would not work. Therefore, both generations of emperors knew people and used it well, and nailed him to the position of the Minister of Personnel for sixty years.

In fact, Liu Kuisheng and Dong Jianhui can both be included in the royal sect, but Dong Jianhui has a straightforward personality and is upright. Although he is on the side of imperial power, he is more for the Minglan Empire, and the emperor is just the code name of the country!

Therefore, there is a difference between Dong Jianhui, the royalist and Liu Kuisheng, the royalist. Dong Jianhui is very unfriendly to the governors of these powerful local factions. He advocates decentralization of military advisors and administrative powers from various places, learn from the practices of the Xiaolong Empire, set up a governor to manage government affairs, and the governor is specialized in military affairs. This proposal has been opposed by countless local factions in the Minglan Empire. Moreover, the Minglan Empire, like other countries on the mainland, is a country with a noble feudal system. Generally, the governors in the local area are the largest aristocratic nobles. Without administrative power, it means that they have no financial power. Without financial power, they rely on their own small fiefdom. How can they support their army? How can they agree to divide their administrative power?
