Seeing this, Di Sihai stopped Wu And and said, "Why are you so anxious? Since you are the one who sent me away, I will naturally handle it!"
Wu An laughed along with him, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, the Governor is right."
Di Sihai looked at Xu Xiao. His figure, demeanor, and appearance were all impeccable.
Moreover, his eyes are sharp, and when he looks at people, he seems to be hiding a knife in his smile, which is really exciting.
And when he saw that even the stunning woman was fascinated by him and lost her mind, he immediately smiled and said: "I am a compassionate person. If a beauty follows me, don't worry."
"Look at the money in front of you, grab as much as you want. As long as you catch it, how about I reward you?"
Xu Xiao turned slightly sideways, raised his chin slightly, and said without any hint of joking: "Master Di, what you mean is that these banknotes in front of you are all yours? Not the other adults'?"
Di Sihai said: "Of course it's mine. Of course, if you want it, it might be yours."
Xu Xiao snorted lightly, no longer delaying, took Guo Ting's hand and walked straight through the group of corrupt officials. Because of his outstanding attitude and steady pace, no one dared to stop him for a while.
With a "bang" sound, Di Sihai smashed the wine glass and roared: "Where are you going?"
Xu Xiao didn't answer, but still held Guo Ting's hand without relaxing it, and didn't even look back.
Seeing that the two people were getting further and further away, and they were about to step out of the backyard gate, Wu An immediately panicked and said: "What are you doing to eat? Why didn't you stop them?"
The thugs brought by Di Sihai rushed forward and drew their knives.
Others who heard the sound were frightened and did not dare to move.
At the door, Xu Xiao stood still and said to Guo Ting: "Go out and wait for me, don't panic!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of thugs were already chasing him.
But the two people hiding behind the courtyard door jumped out, and one of them kicked the leader to the ground!
Then the two of them drew their knives and protected Xu Xiao behind them. They looked like two practitioners.
"With a wailing sound, the people inside felt uncomfortable and stood up one after another."
Only then did Guo Ting realize that Xu Xiao was indeed here to investigate the case, and she probably showed up to disrupt his plan. But seeing that there were only three of them, she was heartbroken and refused to leave.
At this moment, there was a burst of dense footsteps from the outer courtyard.
Guo Ting was so frightened that she tightly held Xu Xiao's arm, determined to live and die with him.
Xu Xiao's heart was touched and he patted the back of her hand to signal her not to be afraid.
But after a while, the leading general and his lord came in quickly and looked at the official uniforms. They were also second-grade generals and fourth-grade prefects.
When Guo Ting was stunned, she only heard the official say: "My ancestor, why are you still exposed?"
"If I arrive late, how can I apologize when I return to Beijing?"
"Hey, who is this little lady?"
Guo Ting was stunned and was about to lift her hat to salute when Xu Xiao held her hand down and introduced her: "This is the prefect of Jinling, Mr. Zhou. He is an old acquaintance of Mr. Lu and I in Wuxi."
"The other one is Mr. Lu, the governor of Liangjiang."
Guo Ting quickly saluted.
Xu Xiao then said: "You two adults, please go in first, and I will send this girl out first."
After that, without waiting for the two people to react, they took Guo Ting and left.
Lu Dayuan was still calm, and he could tell that Xu Xiao and the girl were old acquaintances.
When Zhou Xu arrived, he was confused and said: "He called us here, and he left on his own?"
Lu Dayuan said: "Okay, can't you see? The girl's appearance here was an accident. Otherwise, with Xu Xiao's temperament, he would leave those corrupt officials and come out on his own."
Zhou Xu was startled for a moment, then cursed angrily: "These sons of bitches."
With that said, he rushed in with the people.
When the people inside realized that something was wrong, the singers all arranged to leave through the small door, and the big box that originally contained the money disappeared.
The food on the table looks very simple. Of course, it might be better if you ignore the chicken bones on the corner of the table that were not cleaned in time.
Di Sihai was steady and undisturbed. Looking at Zhou Xu and Lu Dayuan who rushed in with others, he smiled and said: "The two adults are also here for the banquet. It just so happens that we are too."
Zhou Xu sneered: "Going to the banquet? You sirs are really good at pretending."
"What a pity... the person who really came to the banquet has already left."
Di Sihai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Xu ignored him and looked at Wu An.
Wu An was so frightened that he trembled, but he still hurriedly came forward to pay homage. He knelt down in front of Lu Dayuan and said, "I don't know what important matters the governor has come to visit. I will definitely try my best to assist you."
Lu Dayuan said: "Master Wu is going to kneel, so just kneel properly."
After saying that, he said to his subordinates: "Except Master Di, arrest everyone else. No one will be left alive."
Soon, Lu Dayuan's well-trained soldiers were dispatched quickly. How could those fat-minded adults escape? Even Di Sihai changed his face and said: "Master Lu, we are all officials in the same dynasty, isn't this inappropriate?"
Lu Dayuan said: "Master Di, please tell the imperial envoy yourself whether this is appropriate or not!"
Di Sihai stood up, looked around, and sneered: "Where is the imperial envoy?"
"The imperial envoy is here!" With a scolding, Xu Xiao strode in.
He put on a black cloak, a hair crown, and held an oracle in his hand.
Lu Dayuan and Zhou Xu quickly made way for him and listened respectfully.
Di Sihai couldn't believe it, his eyes were so round that they almost burst out of his chest.
He was still the same stunningly handsome man, but his whole body was as sharp as a knife, and his stern brows hid murderous intent.
And he walked in, completely ignoring the adults around him, and stood on the high platform and read out: "According to the emperor's decree, corrupt officials in the south of the Yangtze River, all officials of the fourth rank and below, with conclusive evidence, shall be handed over to the Governor of Liangjiang, Lu Dayuan.
The investigation will be carried out on the spot, and the prefect of Jinling, Zhou Xu, will assist in the investigation. Di Sihai, the governor of the Salt Patrol, will be escorted back to the capital. I appreciate this!"
Di Sihai said in disbelief: "Are you Xu Xiao?"
The two guards beside Xu Xiao immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you call the imperial envoy by his name?"
Di Sihai suddenly sneered, knowing that he shot eagles every day, but now he was blinded by the eagle pecks.
Xu Xiaoze said: "It doesn't matter, since we want Master Di to die, we must let Master Di die clearly!"
After saying this, the officials who blocked the front and back doors of the prefecture quickly intercepted the singer and the large box of money and jewelry and placed them in the back hall.
The timid official had passed out and was still wailing. His body was as soft as mud...
When Di Sihai saw this, he angrily rebuked: "They are all a bunch of cowards. Why don't they cry when they are enjoying happiness? Since you have done it, you should know that you can escape and be rich for a lifetime, but you can't escape. It's just a miserable life."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Xiao, with a ruthless look in his gloomy eyes, and then smiled with relief: "I pretend to be an actor to collect evidence. I, Di Sihai, admire Mr. Xu for not caring about his identity!"
"To tell you the truth, I've always had a hard time with those of you who are good-looking and feel that you are superior to others. But today I finally found out. It turns out that good-looking people can not only seduce people's souls, but also have the potential to
It will kill people!"
Xu Xiao said: "Master Di, Liao Zan, if this skin can make people relax their vigilance, there is no harm in using it!"
"Besides, am I really good at singing?"
"How about singing "The Di Family's Disaster" to Mr. Di today?"
When Di Sihai heard this, his arrogant and unruly expression suddenly turned gray, and he seemed to have lost his soul, unable to say a single strong word.
The Di family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. He has six brothers in the army. Each of them is rampant every day and often commits crimes because of their power.
Judging from Xu Xiao's tone, he is not the only one being investigated this time.
If the whole family is convicted and exiled, or beheaded, and there are so many sons, nephews, and grandsons in the clan, I am afraid that they will never be able to hold their heads high again, and there will be no hope of becoming an official again.
Thinking of this, Di Sihai became flustered and dejected. It was already too late to regret.
