In August, the peonies have already faded, but now the purple and yellow autumn chrysanthemums are still blooming. The chrysanthemums are not fragrant, but very elegant. Shishi is not the only one in the yard, except Xiao Ru
Xue also has Wang Nuran. Wang Nuran comes from a wealthy family, but she doesn't like to be quiet. In her little head, she always retains a bit of a girl's nature, that is, innocent and lively.
Chrysanthemums bloomed in the garden. Xiao Ruxue was among the flowers, explaining something to Wang Nuran. Perhaps she was so fascinated that the two women didn't even notice Tie Mo's arrival. It felt so embarrassing to be ignored, Superintendent Tie.
She could only pretend to cough twice. After hearing strange noises, Xiao Ruxue turned her head, gave a gentle blessing, and smiled sweetly, "Superintendent, didn't you go to Yixing Tower? Why did you come back so soon?
?”
"Look what you said, can we still stay for half a day when we go to Yixing Building? Why, Nuran, when did you become interested in growing flowers?" The corners of Tie Mo's mouth turned up, with a hint of ridicule, and Wang Nuran frowned.
As soon as he locked the door, he stamped his feet speechlessly, "The supervisor is very sarcastic. I'm either a weak and weak person, but I just love to grow flowers. Humph, okay, I won't disturb someone's good things. I'll leave first."
La!"
Wang Nuran held up a purple pink skirt and shuttled among the flowers, like a purple butterfly spreading its wings. Watching her run away with a smile, Xiao Ruxue looked at Tie Mo's hand and said with a smile, "Supervisor, Wang Xiaoran
The lady has a good personality."
"Okay, let's not mention her. Xue'er, let me ask you something." She hugged Xiao Ruxue and sat on the bamboo bench next to the flowers, and said calmly, "How much do you know about Xu Yifeng? Zhu Ziyan likes this
Human?"
Xiao Ruxue looked at the Iron Superintendent with some surprise, why did she ask about Xu Yifeng? Although she was surprised, Xiao Ruxue also knew that her officials were not the kind of people who acted recklessly, so after thinking about it, she said carefully
, "Actually, when the marriage was brought up a few months ago, I sent someone to carefully investigate Xu Yifeng. This person is from Yangzhou. He is an elegant and elegant person, with a good literary talent. There is nothing wrong with him. He can be said to be a good match. Speaking of which,
, Zhu Ziyan is also very satisfied with the number one scholar, and often consults Xu Yifeng on piano skills. If not for this, His Majesty would not have proposed marriage so readily."
"So, Zhu Ziyan likes Xu Yifeng?" Tie Mo frowned. If Zhu Ziyan is very sad for Xu Yifeng, she needs to be more careful about how to deal with Xu Yifeng. The relationship with Zhu Ziyan is not very good. If Xu Yifeng is hurt again
If you kill him, can your relationship with Zhu Ziyan be restored? Tell Zhu Ziyan that Xu Yifeng is a traitor?
Sometimes Tie Mo doesn't understand why the Maitreya Sect works so hard on Zhu Ziyan.
"I think so. Zhu Ziyan and Xu Yifeng have a very harmonious relationship. The person in the palace often said that these two are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are a perfect match." Xiao Ruxue noticed something was wrong with Tie Mo's expression and asked with some worry, "
Is there something wrong with Xu Yifeng? Why bother you so much!"
"Hey, I won't hide it from you. I just went to Yixing Tower, and I didn't expect to find out that Zhao Yurang and Xu Yifeng are actually members of the Maitreya Sect. What do you think, how should I deal with Xu Yifeng?"
After listening to Tie Mo's words, Xiao Ruxue shook her head and smiled bitterly. It was indeed not a good thing. No wonder the supervisor made it so difficult.
Under the starry night, the moonlight was shining brightly, with a pot of wine and a drink facing the moon. The yard was very quiet. Tie Mo had been thinking about how if he dealt with Xu Yifeng, Zhu Ziyan would be unhappy, but what if he didn't? Think about it.
After a long time, I finally decided to arrest Xu Yifeng first, which might completely anger Zhu Ziyan, but it was necessary to dig out the Maitreya Sect and maintain the power of the Dudu Mansion. If I had to choose between Daye and Zhu Ziyan, it seemed that I could only give up Zhu Ziyan
, Tie Mo has never encountered such a difficult decision.
Just after Xu Shi, Sha Diao was called to the small courtyard, "Keep an eye on Xu Yifeng and find an opportunity to get Xu Yifeng. Remember, don't let anyone find out, and don't hurt Xu Yifeng!"
Don't hurt Xu Yifeng? This is the first time Sha Diao has received such a strange order. In the past, the governor rarely had such a kind woman. Hey, it seems that Di Ji's status in the governor's heart is still very high. Since Tie Mo has
He didn't say much about the order, and he was a little lucky that the supervisor did this. Although the supervisor seemed to be a bit womanly, at least he was a person who was nostalgic for old feelings. After all, no one wanted to follow a cold-blooded butcher.
Doing things.
Tonight, in the bright moonlit sky, the stars dotted the black curtain. Xu Yifeng left the entertainment city leisurely. After saying goodbye to a group of friends from the Hanlin Academy, he walked towards North Street in the same way. It was already approaching midnight, and he had drunk too much.
After a few drinks, Xu Yifeng's steps were a bit weak. Xu Yifeng is not a drinker, let alone a drinker, but he was in a very bad mood today. Mr. Zhao said that he would not be allowed to have true feelings and that he should always remember the instructions of the leader, but in front of him
What man can resist a perfect woman like the princess?
After more than a month of contact, he discovered that the princess was a flawless woman. She not only had a peerless beauty, but also had an elegant temperament. She was of noble birth and was loved by thousands of people, but she was not arrogant at all. She was kind-hearted,
He couldn't bear to hurt everyone, so who would be willing to hurt her? Sometimes Xu Yifeng even felt that the princess should not appear in this world, let alone be born into the royal family.
When approaching North Street, Xu Yifeng went to the corner and wanted to put some water, but several figures appeared out of nowhere. Xu Yifeng fainted and was immediately taken away from North Street.
In the capital, in an elegant house, it was almost midnight. There was still a lantern on in the courtyard, and a man in black was sitting under the pavilion. It was quiet everywhere, until a man in black floated from outside the courtyard wall.
Come in, this man in black is tall and slender, with a pair of dark and strange weapons on his left arm. This weapon is a rare tiger claw knife in the martial arts world. As for this man in black, he is not an ordinary person, he is a member of the Maitreya Cult.
The third master, Ye Chengge from Lingnan, is truly the second-in-command of the Maitreya Sect and is responsible for some specific affairs.
Arriving outside the pavilion, Ye Chengge did not go further into the pavilion. Over the years, Ye Chengge discovered a problem, that is, the leader hates people coming too close, and he does not allow himself to get a little dust. He cupped his hands and said respectfully,
"Teacher, Tie Mo indeed sent people to secretly capture Xu Yifeng, and, as the leader thought, those people did not harm Xu Yifeng!"
"Where is Zhao Yurang?" The man in black robe spoke calmly, as if he had already anticipated everything. Ye Chengge quickly bowed and said, "According to the leader's instructions, we have already sent him to Daning Mansion. Tie Mo wants to capture him again.
It’s impossible to get to Zhao Yurang!”
"Very good." The man in black robe stood up. His body was not tall and burly, but it gave people a deep pressure. He put his hands behind his back and seemed to be thinking about something, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Yi
Where is Xinglou? No clues found yet?"
"Back to the leader, Sun Laowu has received the news. He still has no clue. Leader, do you think I should send someone to kidnap the princess? I believe the princess must know something!" Ye Chengge didn't dare to make his own decisions.
, even though he knew that his idea was very good, he did not dare to make a decision. The man in black robe reached out and touched the pillar outside the pavilion, obviously still hesitating. She knew that what Ye Chengge said was somewhat reasonable, but was it worth it?
Once he takes action against Xiangchen County, the impact will be far-reaching. Ye Chengge thinks the idea is very good, but he doesn't know how many dangers are hidden in it.
"Okay, you go back first. Don't rush about Zhu Ziyan's matter. Let me think about it later!" Waving his hand, Ye Chengge obediently stepped back and waited for no one else. The man in black robe raised his neck slightly,
He let out a long sigh. Do we really want to attack Princess Xiangchen? Once this move is made, it will not be easy to control the rest. The man in black robe is very hesitant. He can't make the decision and must find someone to discuss it with.
It only takes a moment. As for who that person is, no one will know unless the man in black robe tells him.
In the dungeon of the side courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, a bucket of cold water was poured down, and Xu Yifeng opened his eyes leisurely. When he saw everything in front of him, his hands trembled with fear, and his eyes were full of fear. The handsome young man in front of him had a few
What if you don’t know him personally? If you want to be successful in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, you don’t have to know Cheng Jiming, the chief minister of the cabinet, and you don’t have to give face to the prince, but you must not not know the Iron Governor, let alone be disrespectful to him, because
If you offend this guy, you will die.
"Tie...Superintendent...Why are you doing this? What did your subordinate do? Superintendent...you want to treat your subordinate like this?" Xu Yifeng's voice was trembling, and it didn't sound like he was lying. Tie Mo was cold from beginning to end.
With a straight face, he waited for Xu Yifeng to finish his trick, then he sneered and said, "Okay, Xu Zhuangyuan, if I am not completely sure, will I catch you here? Tell me, the man in black robe asked you to lurk in the county.
Lord, why are you here? Don’t say that I have wronged you. Who was meeting Zhao Yurang in the Yixing building? What did you two say? I can hear it clearly!"
Xu Yifeng's expression changed instantly. He obviously didn't expect Tie Mo to go to Yixing Building quietly. The most terrible thing is that Tie Mo listened to the confidential conversation. Under such circumstances, there is no point in hiding it anymore.
, Xu Yifeng was considered a man. He calmed down his panic, frowned, and said expressionlessly, "Since the Superintendent knows, it's up to you to kill or cut him into pieces!"
After saying that, Xu Yifeng lowered his head. Although he didn't have much contact with Tie Mo, he still knew the Iron Supervisor's work style very well. In the face of the Maitreya Sect's rebels, would the Iron Supervisor let it go? Xu Yifeng himself
He knew that his end would not be too good, so he had decided not to say anything. If he said it, he would die, and if he didn't, he would die. Why bother to implicate more people? Xu Yifeng behaved like this, and Tie Mo nodded secretly in his heart.
, if Zhu Ziyan really marries Xu Yifeng, it would be a beautiful thing.
"Xu Yifeng, I just want to ask you one question: Are you sincere to the princess?"
Xu Yifeng raised his head inexplicably. Superintendent Iron asked what he meant by saying that he would no longer pursue the case? Xu Yifeng was entangled in his heart. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time. Xu Yifeng nodded heavily, "Superintendent, no matter what
Believe it or not, what man would not be tempted by a woman like the princess? Supervisor, Xu will never hurt the princess. However, the supervisor wants Xu to reveal the secret of Maitreya Cult. Xu really
It’s not possible to do it, it’s not that Xu refuses to say it, it’s because he really knows too little.”
What surprised Xu Yifeng was that Tie Mo actually smiled and nodded. He waved his hand and signaled the guards to untie Xu Yifeng, "Xu Zhuangyuan, remember what you said today. If you violate it in the future, don't blame me.
Master Wuqing, you can leave now, what happens tonight is known to God and to you and to me!"
How could this happen? When did the Iron Supervisor become so kind? Somehow, tears flashed in Xu Yifeng's eyes. He hesitated, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. He knew very well in his heart that the Superintendent was
He was let go for the sake of the princess. They say that the princess has a close relationship with the Iron Governor, and this is true.
Xu Yifeng left, but Sha Diao frowned, "Supervisor, are you really going to let Xu Yifeng go like this? Even if what he said is true, wouldn't it be a pity to let him go like this?"
"No, it's not a pity at all, sand sculpture. Have you ever thought about it? People from the Maitreya Cult are always cautious. Why did they reveal such a big flaw this time? People from the Maitreya Cult are so careless that they don't look at their surroundings.
Don’t the people from the Maitreya Cult know this Superintendent and Meiling? So, I’m afraid it’s a ploy, and the purpose is to lure this Superintendent into taking the bait. If that’s the case, Xu Yifeng should be let go. No matter what, we can’t all follow the arrangements of the Maitreya Cult.
Let’s go, as long as something goes wrong, the Maitreya Cult’s plan will not succeed.”
What Tie Mo just said was what Tie Mo just reacted to. Regardless of whether the guess is true or not, at least letting Xu Yifeng go is prepared. Maybe the people who are staring at Xu Yifeng now have discovered some clues. As for why the Maitreya Cult devised this strategy, there is no way to know.
Knowing that, maybe we can only get the answer we want from the people in black robes.
After Xu Yifeng left the Superintendent's Mansion, he hurriedly walked along North Street. His heart was in a mess. He felt that he was a little sorry for Superintendent Tie, and that he had betrayed the leader. For a moment, he didn't know what he should do.
How to choose? The moonlight has slowly set. When I open the door of the house, it is full of the smell of books. This is Xu Yifeng's home. He and his old servant Ah Cai are the only ones in the courtyard.
Hearing the noise, Ah Cai came out with a lantern and asked, "Sir, why are you back so late?"
"Oh, I had a few more drinks. It's okay." Ah Cai held a lantern in front to lead the way. Xu Yifeng followed thoughtfully. After a while, Xu Yifeng frowned. He always felt that something was wrong with Ah Cai today.
Ah Cai is getting older and has a foot injury, so he walks very slowly, but today Ah Cai walks much faster.
In the blink of an eye, he came to the room, but Ah Cai did not leave. He closed the door and stood upright with his rickety body. If Ah Cai's legs and feet could become more agile, how could he straighten his rickety body?
Xu Yifeng looked at the expressionless Ah Cai and took two steps back in fear, "You...who are you? Where is Ah Cai? What did you do to Ah Cai..."
