What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 99 Chapter 98
It's time for dinner. Shui Jing watched Wei Huai'en wash his hands carefully in the sink. Several times, he thought she wanted to hand over a cloth towel after washing. For some reason, Wei Huai'en was extra careful today, and even washed his fingers several times. Don't give up.

"Your Highness, if you keep rubbing, your hands will be red tomorrow. Even if Your Highness likes scarlet red, you don't have to rub your body red, right?"

The place he licked always seemed to still have the warmth of his lips and tongue. Wei Huai'en used the cover of the cloth towel to pinch crescent nail marks between his fingers, and finally drove away the strange touch.

Shui Jing finally pushed Wei Huai'en to the side of the table, and then talked with Wei Huai'en about everything such as worshiping the heavens and ancestors tomorrow, meeting the emperor and being worshiped by all the officials. He was more nervous than Wei Huai'en, the righteous master.

"Sister Shuijing, can you rest assured now?"

Wei Huaien pulled her to sit beside him and advised her to relax.

"It's true that there is no need to worry about making mistakes in the ceremony. There is Master Ruan at the Ministry of Rites. Ming Feng and I have checked it many times, and Master Xiao has also returned. It's just..."

Shui Jing sighed, and told Wei Huai'en his worries:

"I'm just worried that the supporters of King Duan and King Rong, as well as the ministers of Old Madam Yu's faction will not stop at this time, and I'm afraid they will give His Highness the first place tomorrow..."

"Soldiers come to block, water to cover, if you have to worry about everything, how can you have time to do practical things? Since I am in this position, am I still afraid that those subordinates will fail?"

Wei Huai'en patted Shui Jing's hand, and she also thought of this question, but she was much more open-minded than Shui Jing, and even vaguely looked forward to uprooting the opponents who dared to show up tomorrow.

On a good day, Wei Huai'en is also waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"Forget it, I hope I'm thinking too much. Your Highness's grand ceremony will be protected by your empress and His Royal Highness, and no one will dare to make a mistake."

Shui Jing didn't know that Wei Huai'en got the letter from the former queen in Mengshan, and it was a sincere blessing.

"right……"

Wei Huai'en quietly turned his head away to pick up a dish that was a little farther away, and tightened his hands holding the chopsticks, suppressing the almost surging hatred.

Really speaking, what a good day this is, it's all what she deserves, it's all the glory she won back for her mother and her brother.

It's so rare to have a seat, all she wants is the throne.

Xuan Yusi.

Xiao Qi rushed out of Miyagi before the key was released at the palace gate. Those black knights that Wei Huai'en saw on the palace wall were already waiting in Xuanyu Division, and they reported one by one after Xiao Qi arrived.

In order for Wei Huai'en's appointment ceremony to go smoothly tomorrow, Xiao Qi can't wait to disperse all the forces to guard against death, and eliminate the slightest possibility that officials will not have good eyesight to block the fight.

Although Wei Huai'en also knew that courtiers, scholars, and even the whole world criticized her, the female crown prince, constantly.Words such as the rooster starting the morning, turning the world upside down, confusing the court, etc., are no longer new, and the dissenting words Xiao Qi hears while monitoring the world will only become more poisonous, more ruthless and dirtier.

Those people dare to point fingers at Wei Huai'en, who has been in charge of the court for many years, relying on a few drops of ink in their stomachs, and even more ignorant people think that women have taken advantage of them, so they oppose Wei Huai'en's policies everywhere...

But they're still the best idiots to deal with.

As long as the banner of Xuan Yusi is up, even the local officials who are obedient and obedient will not dare to be lazy, let alone those people?

What is difficult is the officials in the capital.

They either hold the deadly principles of purging the Qing Dynasty, or they don't know how to adapt after reading the sage books, but they are not afraid of death, most of them are clean and honest people, and Xiao Qi can't catch it.

Those thorns are waiting for the moment when they are oppressed by the power to think generously, wishing to show their ambitions by death, and would rather leave their names in history than accept any restrictions and bribes, how could Xiao Qi give them such an opportunity.

They have no problem, it doesn't matter, Xiao Qi doesn't believe that they rely on the few liang of salary of the speech officer, not only to reciprocate on New Year's Day, but also to deduct their salary for their outspoken words from time to time, how can the rest support their wives, concubines and children, and their parents?
Know the answer without thinking.

Xiao Qi knew that there was nothing wrong with the speaker, but their family members were not all flawless.Listening to the reports of his subordinates, those officials were either someone in the clan using their official name to harm the party, or their family members privately lent money to collect money, or even violated the regulations.

Emperor Yonghe turned a blind eye to the private virtues of his courtiers, but he had no choice. The border wars have continued for decades, and the bloody storm when Emperor Yonghe ascended the throne had to be ended with the treasury, and the court could not afford a higher salary. , can only temporarily acquiesce to the officials to find their own way.

However, Wei Huai'en just launched a new policy this year, because there are frequent reports of good news on the border. Seeing that it will be stable for decades, the treasury is abundant, and the seasons are good, so the salary can be increased, so that the officials have no worries.

Even among those who once firmly opposed Wei Huai'en, there were some who were impressed by Wei Huai'en's outstanding achievements in the past few years, but there were some people who were stubborn, so Xiao Qi had to take action tonight.

Those who are greedy for ink, those who dereliction of duty, those who use power for personal gain, those who steal the achievements of subordinates, those who are implicated by the family members, the subordinates reported the good news that these people have died down one by one, and only a few people left do not know how to deal with it.

One is this year's Tanhuawenda, which has already drafted a call to action.

"Master Xiao, please take a look."

Xiao Qi shook the rice paper folded into several folds, and it was probably taken out by his subordinates not long after he finished writing it. A few spots of ink stained the whole essay a bit messy, but it was hard to hide its charm.

"Yo, it turns out that Wenda is not facing His Royal Highness Jiarou, but this seat."

Every word and every sentence accused Wei Huai'en of conniving his party members to deceive the saints, which almost showed signs of eunuch party chaos.

Xiao Qi's name was mentioned many times, obviously Wen Da knew who instigated these things.

"Hahaha……"

Xiao Qi laughed heartily, forgetting that there was a group of Xuanyu Guards standing in front of him waiting for instructions.The Xuanyu guards exchanged glances silently, Wenda's call to action was no secret in Xuanyu Division, they didn't understand why Deputy Envoy Xiao was so happy when he was insulted by name.

"I remember that Wenda's son just came to Jingzhong from his hometown. This year... is he five years old?"

Xiao Qi had laughed enough of that lavish piece of rice paper, he threw it in a ball and trampled it on the bottom of his feet.He looked at Xuan Yuwei who was in charge of monitoring Wen Da, his voice was like plucking strings, but he couldn't hide his killing intent.

"Yes, I'm almost six years old..."

Xuan Yuwei didn't know why Xiao Qi suddenly mentioned this.

"Catch."

Xiao Qi leaned on the back of the Grand Master's chair, while lightly clasping the armrest, pointed out a few courtiers that Xuanyuwei couldn't solve.

"Wenda is the only child in the family. Only his grandmother and widowed mother protected him from growing up. That child is more valuable than him now. As long as he is caught for a day, he doesn't even need his mother and grandmother to persuade him. Help me...

Yu Zhi said that Yu Taifu and those disciples of the Yu family should be dealt with together.You guys, throw all the secrets of all the remaining disciples of Yu's family in front of Yu's mansion, let everyone know that the lives of other people are now in Xuan Yusi's hands.

Whether to compromise or not, Yu Taifu is willing to give up his name and the future of his children and grandchildren, but he can't be the master of others.

Let's do it like this, listen to the movement tonight, tomorrow everyone will bow their heads respectfully to His Royal Highness Jiarou, understand? "

"Yes, my lord!"

After the Xuanyu guards took their orders, they dispersed, and the courtyard was instantly emptied, which made Xiao Qi notice the flowering pagoda tree.

He could smell the slightest sweet fragrance, but he had no interest in watching it at all.The ball of paper on the ground was left behind by Xuan Yuwei Zhanping behind him, Xiao Qi went straight to Xuan Yusi's private prison.

What kind of fragrance of flowers and trees, in this Xuan Yu Division, what Xiao Qi is most familiar with is the smell of rotting flesh and blood in the prison.

It's been a long time since I've been here, but I just went down the stairs to the first floor of the private prison. When Xuan Yuwei behind him was still wrinkling his nose and having trouble breathing, Xiao Qi was already used to the foul smell that never sees the light of day.

"Lord Fan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are the servants serving you wholeheartedly?"

The figure huddled in the tattered quilt in the prison seemed to want to get up, but seeing his arms nestled backwards, he couldn't even use any strength.

"Ho..."

That figure didn't know what to say with a noise like a broken bellows.

"Tsk, since you have pulled out your tongue, what are you doing breaking Master Fan's arm? Now, if people from Fan Da are willing to admit the crime of adultery with people from Beidi, how can they be charged?"

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced left and right, a cleverer Xuanyu Wei replied with a smile:

"My lord's lesson is that we didn't take good care of Mr. Fan. This subordinate will help Mr. Fan connect his arm. I think Mr. Fan won't care about us rough people."

"Crack it."

There was a bone-chilling sound, and the figure writhed in pain on the ground, and after a while, there was only a slight gasp.

Xiao Qi has already reached the second floor.

This layer is surprisingly clean, even though the moisture has made slippery lichens grow on the corners, and the candles on both sides are dying and only the size of beans are left, but compared to the black blood grease that cannot be washed clean on the upper layer, this layer is even more clean. The texture of the floor tiles is clear.

"Let me go... let me go..."

A prisoner who was as thin as a skeleton lay on the ground clutching the railing, and when Xiao Qi squatted in front of him with great interest, he withdrew his hands shyly, as if he was afraid that his fingers would be touched by Xiao Qi's clothes.

This level is the emperor's relatives who are not easy to use torture, but who would have thought that the guy who is almost inhuman in front of him is actually Prince Min who once covered the sky with one hand in Yongzhou?

"My lord, what can I do if I don't eat, don't make it difficult for our family to explain..."

Xiao Qi winked, and Xuan Yuwei took orders to pry the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the broken bowl on the ground through King Min's teeth and pour them in.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Xiao Qi looked coldly at the vomiting King Min, thinking that he was the one who was greedy for his life and afraid of death and refused to allow the Yongzhou garrison to support Wei Huai'en who was in the isolated city, he wished he would be hacked to pieces.

Unlike Wei Huai'en who was frankly preparing for possible difficulties and criticisms tomorrow, Xiao Qi just wanted to do everything possible to make those people shut up and kneel at the feet of His Royal Highness as obedient ministers.

He never forgot what Wei Huai'en once mentioned to Xiao Qi, but he was more cold-blooded and ruthless than Wei Huai'en.

What do those people care about?In addition to fame, wealth, and status, there are also the interests of countless people who are closely entangled with them even if they push them to the top.

Yu Zhiyan once almost beat to death an unworthy grandson of an offshoot of the family, and when he was still alive, he was sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to confess to the crime of embezzling the people's land, turning the original crime of cutting officials' salaries into a capital crime.

It's just that it doesn't matter how strict he is to his family, students, and colleagues. Even if he dares to cut off all those old and dirty people who are secretly dirty, then he will have to pay his political life for this ceremony. ?
How dare he.

The more ambitious a person is, the more unable to give up on the future.

Xiao Qi walked slowly in the dirty and dark prison, looking at the lifeless or unwilling figures in each cell, he learned a lot from these people, such as how to get rid of these so-called iron bones Secrets are pried out from the clank man.

Wei Huai'en taught him very well, sometimes he was more daring than Wei Huai'en, because he only learned Wei Huai'en's ruthlessness, but he didn't learn the way of a gentleman at all.

Yu Zhiyan's words that reprimanded Wei Huai'en who was still pretending to be Wei Huaide back then were actually applied to Xiao Qi. Without the restraint of the bottom line, Xiao Qi didn't care about the turmoil in people's hearts, but only cared that the balance would always and unconditionally lean towards Wei Huai'en.

"My lords, I have some good news to share with you. The master of this seat, His Highness Jiarou, will be named the heir apparent tomorrow.

That is the first female crown prince in this dynasty, what a beauty, and only the master of this seat can afford this country, the queen of heaven and the queen of land.

But you won't be able to see tomorrow's scene, and I will talk to you adults when I come back from watching the ceremony. "

There is too much joy in my heart, even to these people, Xiao Qi can have the desire to confide.

"Girl dog! Pooh, don't you rely on people's power here, but rely on a woman? When I go out, even if you are killed in the hall, you won't be able to get away with it!"

Zhang Yushi, who has only been in for a few days, has not yet been subjected to Xiao Qi's tricks, but feeling the suffocation from all directions in this dark prison is already driving him crazy.

Hearing Xiao Qi's crazy and rebellious words, he even forgot to observe his words and expressions now, and scolded freely, but he didn't realize that there was no sound around him at the moment, and he didn't see Mr. Dong who was locked opposite him desperately winking at him.

"Master Zhang is right. I am the servant of His Royal Highness Jiarou. Who else can I rely on if I don't rely on His Highness?"

Zhang Yushi snorted unconcernedly, thinking that Xiao Qi, like many servants he hated, would show his posture even when he was not around the master, but he was used to the words that humiliated him as a dog.

An eunuch is an eunuch without any bones.

But immediately after Xiao Qi clapped his hands twice, Xuan Yuwei stepped forward and opened Zhang Yushi's cell door, regardless of his struggle, stuffed a cloth towel into his mouth, making him retch while looking like He was dragged out of the cage like a dead dog.

　Xiao Qi: The cruel official is actually myself
