Chapter 2501: Complaining about illness and agreeing to go somewhere else

He Wuji's expression changed and he said in surprise: "How is this possible? He is the guest of honor today. In the past few days since I came back, I have distributed invitations widely in Jiankang City. Everyone knows that I invited Yin Zhongwen.

He didn't refuse. Even yesterday, he sent someone to tell me in the morning that he would definitely arrive."

Liu Yi said calmly: "Really, Wuji, haven't you heard the rumors in the city these days? Before you returned to Jiankang, Yin Zhongwen, the governor of Dongyang, secretly went to find the slave."

He Wuji sighed: "Of course I know about this. This guy is probably out of his mind because of his pursuit of wealth, and he actually thought of using this method to please his slaves. This man is a man of extraordinary talent, but his character is indeed not very good. Back then, Huan

I'm afraid Xuan usurped the throne without his instigation and instigation. Sure enough, he was driven away from the slaves and disgraced, which was a lesson to him."

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Then since you know that he is this kind of person, why do you still want to give him this opportunity and even want to recruit him to join the shogunate?"

He Wuji shook his head: "Because he is indeed an outstanding scholar. Xile, we are all now giants, and we are guarding one side. We can't be as clear-cut as we were when we were junior officers. We only choose people based on our likes and dislikes.

Yin Zhongwen is just a county guard now, far behind the high-ranking official he once was. Since you and the slaves refuse to use him, he has no choice but to come to me. As long as I give him a chance, he will definitely work hard to serve.

Yes, and some talented people will follow, so wouldn’t it be a blessing to the family and the country.”

Liu Yi smiled and said: "But it seems that he chose to send it to the slave first, and he came up with the intention of presenting the music score. Can this matter of ritual and music be presented to the general casually?"

He Wuji curled up his lips and said, "I will severely suppress his evil thoughts in the future. After all, he probably won't be able to contribute any music scores here. Xile, after talking for a long time, he should

He took the initiative to come to me for protection at this time. How could he not come? Are you mistaken? "

A burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer from outside, and He Wuji said in a deep voice: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb my discussion with Liu Fujun? Why are you still here?!"

Kong Ningzi's voice rang out urgently: "Zhennan, something happened. The servant from Yin Gong's place who came to deliver the message yesterday is here. He said that Yin Gong had a cold and was feeling unwell. He couldn't come today and asked me to apologize to you!"

He Wuji suddenly froze on the spot, his mouth opened wide, and he could not speak for a while. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Kong Canjun, you and Yin Canjun go greet the guests and say that today

I'm really sorry, Mr. Yin is ill and can't come. We'll see you another day when he recovers."

Kong Ningzi hesitated: "Zhennan, I'm afraid it would be more appropriate for you to say this in person."

He Wuji said in a deep voice: "I'm just going to visit Mr. Yin. I'm sorry, Lao Kong, but I'm here to trouble you and Lao Yin."

Kong Ningzi bowed and retreated. He Wuji turned to look at Liu Yi, who looked calm, and said bitterly: "You are really right. Yin Zhongwen said he was ill and couldn't come. What do you know? Tell me everything.

.”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "You didn't even go to apologize to the guests and say goodbye. I'm afraid you just wanted to make it easier for me to go see Yin Zhongwen."

He Wuji sighed: "Could it be that you wanted to recruit Yin Zhongwen so that you could continue fighting with the slaves, so you stopped him from coming to my place? Xi Le, if you want something, you should at least say hello to me first. That way

Is it too much to directly poach the person I want to recruit?"

Liu Yi shook his head: "When did I, Liu Yi, snatch what you Wuji wanted? Yin Zhongwen is not sick, but he didn't come to you because he went to a different place and met other people!"

He Wuji said in a deep voice: "Could it be that he went to find the slave again? Do you want to say that they have some private deal?"

Liu Yi smiled and took He Wuji's wrist: "Just follow me, I will let you see everything you want to see."

Outside Jiankang City, in front of Jianjing Temple.

This once popular temple has turned into a deserted courtyard with the departure of the original host Zhi Miaoyin. The stone steps under the door are covered with moss and fallen leaves. Two little nuns are feebly standing there.

The door was being cleaned, and a gorgeous carriage came galloping down the mountain road and stopped at the foot of the steps. The coachman jumped off the front shaft, took a wooden stool, and put it behind the carriage. The carriage door opened, and a man wearing a bucket

The tall and thin man stepped out of the car, lifted up his cloak, and revealed a pale face. It was not Yin Zhongwen.

The coachman was Yin Qian. He ran up the steps and said a few words to the two little nuns sweeping the floor. The two threw down their brooms, turned around and entered the temple, closing the door. Yin Qian led Yin Zhongwen around

When they arrived at the other side of the temple, a side door opened, and the master and servant went in. The side door closed again, as if nothing had happened, and only the carriage at the bottom of the steps remained in place.

On a tall elm tree outside the courtyard, two men in full attire were hiding among the branches and leaves. There was a "pop" sound, which was the sound of a palm hitting the trunk, and the branches and leaves shook for a while.

Wuji cursed in a low voice: "Asshole, this guy is really pretending to be sick and came to see someone else. Is this the only day he will miss? Is he going to mess with my face like this?"

Liu Yi pulled off the black scarf on his face and said calmly: "Wuji, don't be angry. You also know where this place is."

He Wuji gritted his teeth: "This is the place where Wang Miaoyin used to become a monk and practice. Tell me, who is seeing Yin Zhongwen inside now? Is it the slave or Wang Miaoyin?"

Liu Yi sighed: "No, what he is seeing now is Mrs. Xie. Wuji, I brought you here to let you understand one thing. This music score is not as simple as you think."

He Wuji opened his eyes wide: "What does this mean? I don't understand."

Liu Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "Now that we in Jingba are in power and martial arts are in power, the most disappointed ones are the high-ranking families in the city. They dream of regaining their previous power and riding on our heads again to give orders.

.And to do this, they have to make us Jingba brothers turn against each other and fight for power. Only when we ourselves are in chaos will they have a chance!"

He Wuji was surprised: "But there is no need for the Xie family to be like this. Both us and the slaves are very respectful and polite to them, especially to the madam. If the slaves clearly rejected the music score, then why did the madam

Are you coming to see Yin Zhongwen again?"

Liu Yi sneered and said, "Because this matter was set up by Mrs. Xie from the very beginning. Wuji, please listen to me in detail."
