The prince is hard to serve

At a quarter of noon, the birthday banquet officially began.

All of a sudden, the banquet was full of excitement, with interlaced cups of wine and laughter.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone got up and congratulated Shi Buyuan. They praised him to the sky in their words. An official even drank some wine and became bolder. He even used a dragon as a metaphor. The dragon is originally a symbol of the Son of Heaven, so when he said this, he was already daring, everyone fell silent, and then carefully looked at Shi Buyuan.

But Shi Bu was originally a wolfish ambition, and it has become more and more rampant over the years. It has long been Sima Zhao's heart to blatantly collude with officials, befriend rich businessmen, and recruit talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone knows it, so at this time he listened. There was no change on the face, and they even responded with a smile. Seeing this, everyone was not stupid, and they also laughed, and the congratulations afterward became a little bolder in their words.

Yan Wenhao held a glass of wine, lowered his head and slowly sipped it. Hearing these bold words in his ears, he sneered mockingly. Is Jiangnan already his own world!

There is never too much praise, so after being praised for a stick of incense one after another, Shi Buyuan smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal everyone to stop first, and then smiled and asked people to take out his youngest son.

Probably because of getting a child in old age, Shi Buyuan was very happy. It is true that he had other purposes for hosting this birthday party, but now he was really happy. When the nanny brought the child out, he even hugged it himself. .

The one-year-old doll has already opened up, and has been raised to be white and fat again. A golden lock for safety is hung around the neck, and bracelets and anklets are also worn on the hands and feet. The one who does not cry or laugh is the little master's. Appearance, looks very cute.

Standing behind the crowd, Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling also looked at the child who was carried out by the nanny. They saw that the child's eyebrows and eyes were very good. It probably inherited his mother's appearance. It can be seen that when he grows up, he must be a child. A handsome man, but they all looked away after just one glance, this child is destined to have no future.

The offense committed by Shi Buyuan must have implicated the nine clans. Even if the concubine De Gui is favored far away in the deep palace and can be picked out by luck, it will definitely be affected in the future. After all, those officials in the court His mouth is not for nothing, not to mention that this child is Shi Buyuan's parent and child, and the death penalty is inevitable. It is unknown whether he can survive today safely.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone came forward to congratulate again, Yan Wenhao winked at Xu Da who was not far away. After receiving the signal, Xu Da stood up and squeezed into the middle with a glass of wine. After blessing a few words, he leaned into Shi Buyuan's ear, whispered a few words to him, and asked for his token.

Shi Buyuan was holding his youngest son in his arms, he was happy now, so he didn't think too much about suspicion, and Xu Da had been with him for seven or eight years, and it was he who lifted him up with one hand, knowing the root and the bottom, so he nodded He agreed, not to mention that the matter Xu Da mentioned in his ear just now is indeed a little more important, but it is not particularly important. Now that He Qing has been sent by him to handle errands, it is also okay for Xu Da, a magistrate, to come forward to deal with it. enough.

After Xu Da took the token, he glanced in Yan Wenhao's direction calmly, Yan Wenhao nodded to him, then turned around and explained a few words to Mu Ziling, asking him to follow By Qin Yi's side, don't leave at will.

All of this was discussed before, Mu Ziling nodded after hearing the words, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help calling Yan Wenhao in a low voice, telling him to be careful in everything, looking at Yan Wenhao and smiling After agreeing, she watched him leave.

Qin Yi watched from the side, but he didn't think it would be weird for men to fall in love with each other. When he was young, he had trekked mountains and rivers and traveled to many places. Among them, there was a custom of brothers and sisters in Fujian. , Seeing the tenderness of the two, he was only envious.

He only thought that one day in the future, Luo Yu would be as gentle and sweet as Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling, and they would be as gentle as each other.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Qin Yi lightly touched the wine glass in front of Mu Ziling, and said enviously, "The relationship between you and Brother Mu is really enviable."

Hearing this, Mu Ziling couldn't help but smiled slightly, his heart was full of sweetness, but then he remembered the matter between Qin Yi and Luo Yu, so he suppressed his smile and comforted him: "Wen Hao treats me with sincerity. , I will treat him with sincerity, and exchange sincerity with sincerity. If Boss Qin’s sincerity remains unchanged, it will be great to stay with Luoyu forever. I believe that Luoyu will figure it out one day, stop being so stubborn, and join hands with you For a lifetime."

After hearing what Qin Yi said, he smiled at Mu Ziling, and said in a gentle voice, "I accept your good words."

The words are divided into two parts.

On this side, Xu Da took Shi Buyuan's token and led Yan Wenhao and Xie Jingyu into the house where Shi Buyuan was working.His study is in this house.

Xie Jingyu had infiltrated the servants of the Shifu earlier, and this time he also prepared a set of costumes for Yan Wenhao's servants. The two followed Xu Da with their heads down. They encountered no obstacles along the way until When they reached the door of the study, they were stopped by several guards.

Holding the weapon, the guard said coldly: "Master Xu, the important place of the study, only Master Shi and Mr. He are not allowed to enter." He Qing has always been the most trusted.

Xu Da unhurriedly took out the token Shi Buyuan gave him, glanced at the guards, and said, "My lord ordered me to come and fetch a document, this is my lord's token, can you see it clearly? "

The guards glanced at it, but still refused to let it go. They were ordered to guard the study room, and no one else could enter except Shi Buyuan and He Qing.

Xu Da looked at the two of them, his eyes froze, and he was about to speak, but saw the guards suddenly not moving. He was startled for a moment, sure that he had just seen Yan Wenhao's handwriting, and immediately became suspicious.

Jiang Xi is obviously a civil servant, how could he know martial arts?

Yan Wenhao naturally saw Xu Da's doubts, but they were short on time, and he didn't bother to explain. He just saw that Xu Da was motionless, and reminded him: "My lord, it's time to go in."

He could sense that there were quite a few people around, and one of them had martial arts superior to his, on par with Xie Jingyu. If it had been longer, he would have noticed it.

This sound brought Xu Da back to his senses immediately. He didn't show any flaws, but stepped into the door unhurriedly, followed by Yan Wenhao and Xie Jingyu, and then closed the door.

As soon as they entered the study, Yan Wenhao and Xie Jingyu immediately searched for it. Shi Buyuan's study is not big, but it is still difficult to find two account books. Keep it very secret.

The two almost searched the study room, but still found nothing. Xu Da stood at the door, looking out anxiously, his expression was full of worry, he was worried that He Qing would come back suddenly.

He Qing was sent out by Shi Buyuan to do some errands, and he would be back at [-]:[-] noon at most, and now it was almost the end of the day, he might appear here at any time.Thinking this way, He Qing came back, Xu Da saw He Qing through the crack of the door, and quickly turned his head to remind him.

At this time, Yan Wenhao also found the account book. Shi Buyuan was indeed cautious. There was a hidden compartment in the study, but he accidentally touched the pen holder on the desk just now, which opened the secret compartment.

Picking up all the letters and account books in the secret compartment, and restoring the secret compartment to its original state, Yan Wenhao glanced at Xie Jingyu, then handed all the letters and account books into Xie Jingyu's hands, and asked him to leave and hand them over to Xie Jingyu. In Jiang Xi's hands, Jiang Xi should have entered the city by now.

Outside, He Qing was getting closer and closer, Xu Da couldn't help sweating when he saw this.

Xu Da is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will not be able to see Shi Buyuan die with his own eyes. He hates Shi Buyuan to the extreme, but in order to gain Shi Buyuan's trust, he has done a lot of evil things over the years, and he is doomed to die. His only wish is to Seeing that Shi Buyuan was brought to justice with his own eyes.

Not long after, He Qing discovered that several guards outside the study room had been acupointed. Immediately, his face changed drastically. When he was about to call for someone, Yan Wenhao rushed out before him and grabbed him with one hand. neck, with one force, it killed him.

He Qing stared and fell limp to the ground, probably because he was very unwilling to die.

However, even though He Qing died, the people Shi Buyuan arranged around the study had already noticed, and jumped out with weapons at this time, and surrounded the three of them, there were more than twenty people in total.

Under such circumstances, An Er and An Si who were hiding in the dark naturally also jumped out, one on the left and the other on the right in front of Yan Wenhao.

Seeing the current situation, Xie Jingyu frowned, and wanted to hand over the account book in his arms to Yan Wenhao, and let him leave first, but was stopped by Yan Wenhao, "Your lightness skill is higher than mine, this matter should be done as soon as possible." You can't delay, naturally you should go."

Xie Jingyu was about to refute, but seeing that Yan Wenhao had already ignored him, he drew out the soft sword from his waist and started fighting with others.

Knowing that he could not change Yan Wenhao's mind, Xie Jingyu couldn't help but sighed lightly, and simply handed the account books and letters into An Si's hands, telling him to leave directly to find Jiang Xi.

It was impossible for him to leave Yan Wenhao behind. The purpose of his trip was to protect Yan Wenhao.

Naturally, the enemy has more than [-] people, and more and more guards are coming after hearing the news. Yan Wenhao, Xie Jingyu, and An Er are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Seeing that this continues, it will soon spread to Shi Buyuan , all three of them frowned and worked harder.

At this moment, more than a dozen black-clothed masked men suddenly fell down, all of them were superb martial arts, and their moves were fatal, helping Yan Wenhao and the others.

Xie Jingyu and Yan Wenhao looked at it, and couldn't help being surprised, but although they had doubts in their hearts, they didn't have the heart to ask at this time. Since they were helpers, they felt a lot easier in an instant. After about a cup of tea, they He found a gap, used lightness kung fu, grabbed Xu Da from left to right, and left the governor's mansion.

Yan Wenhao walked around outside, and after getting rid of the people, he changed back to his original clothes, followed the same path, and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

At the same time, Jiang Xi rushed to the gate of the governor's mansion with a team of people.

in the garden.

When Shi Buyuan heard the servant's report, his complexion changed instantly. He threw the young son in his arms into the arms of the nurse beside him, stood up and was about to rush to the study, but he only took a few steps when he found that the surroundings were suddenly crowded. After it fell silent, everyone looked out of the arch in shock, their faces full of horror.

His heart sank, Shi Buyuan turned his head, and saw outside the arch, at some point there were soldiers holding long knives standing there, staring at him coldly, like a Shura from hell, horrifying.

Taking a closer look, Shi Buyuan saw Jiang Xi standing in front of the soldiers again, wearing a first-grade official robe, his face turned black immediately, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura.

Jiang Xi glanced coldly at the people in the courtyard. When his gaze touched Mu Ziling, he paused for a moment, but quickly moved away again. He unsheathed his long sword, pointed the cold blade straight into the courtyard, and said loudly: "All those present will be detained. If anyone disobeys, they will be killed on the spot according to His Majesty's order—"

After his words fell, everyone in the courtyard panicked.

In an instant, Shi Buyuan had calmed down. He stood up straight, with majestic eyes, and sternly reprimanded: "Master Jiang is so courageous. I am the governor of Jiangnan, a second-rank official bestowed by His Majesty. You are now leading troops as you like." Breaking into my official office and wanting to arrest my guests, do you take me seriously? Do you take Your Majesty seriously?!"

Withholding such a big hat without evidence would be a felony, but the dark four had already handed over the account books and letters to Jiang Xi, and now the evidence is solid, so don't pay attention at all.

Jiang Xi looked at Shi Buyuan coldly, and without saying a word, he waved his hand and let the soldiers come forward to arrest him.

Seeing this, Shi Buyuan knew that this was a case of Dong Chuang's incident. At this time, Jiang Xi had already obtained the evidence, and came to arrest him aboveboard.

Shi Buyuan's eyes flickered slightly, taking advantage of the confusion, he suddenly moved his feet, jumped to Mu Ziling's side, grabbed Mu Ziling, blocked him in front of his chest, pinched Mu Ziling's neck with one hand, and sneered Said: "Master Jiang, this must be your subordinate, I want to see if you don't care about his life, dare to do it!"

He had noticed earlier that Jiang Xi's eyes stayed on this man for a while, so he wanted to take a gamble.

Qin Yi was a step late, seeing Mu Ziling being captured by Shi Buyuan, he was even more worried that Luo Yu was in the dark and would strike rashly.

Jiang Xi didn't change his face, he said coldly: "Shi Buyuan, today you are doomed, why add more sins."

Shi Buyuan sneered, but exerted force with his hand, Mu Ziling felt that he couldn't breathe, and a darkness appeared in front of his eyes, just like the situation when he died in the previous life, he opened his mouth, wanting to call Yan Wenhao, but found himself No matter what, I couldn't make a sound, I just felt more and more uncomfortable, and after a while, I lost consciousness again.

When Yan Wenhao rushed back, what he saw was this scene, his eyes were shattered, and he was furious, but he did not lose his mind after all.

Deeply digging his nails into his palms, Yan Wenhao told himself not to act rashly through the pain. He hid in the crowd and thought about countermeasures.

Suddenly, Yan Wenhao saw the nurse not far away holding Shibuyuan's young son in panic, and immediately jumped over with a thought, pushed the nurse away with another palm, took the child away, and said coldly: " Shibuyuan, who do you see in my hand?"

Seeing that Yan Wenhao had returned, Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he loosened his clenched hands, he was about to order to retreat.

Hearing the sound, Shi Buyuan turned his head. He looked at the child in Yan Wenhao's hands, his eyes darkened, and the muscles on his face trembled. After a while, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already cold-blooded and ruthless. Appearance: "Now that my own life is in danger, is it possible that I will take care of a bastard? But if you dare to touch him, I will kill this person immediately." After finishing speaking, he grinned grinningly, and exerted more force on his hands.

Looking at Mu Ziling who had passed out, Yan Wenhao felt extremely distressed. His eyes turned cold, and he looked down at the child in his hand, and suddenly threw it towards Shi Buyuan. Shrinking, subconsciously wanted to catch it, and finally revealed a little flaw.

That's the time!

Yan Wenhao grabbed the chopsticks on the table, gathered his internal energy in his hand, and threw it towards Shi Buyuan. The chopsticks were nailed heavily to Shi Buyuan's wrist, shoulder blade and thigh with extremely strong internal energy. In the third place, he screamed, and the blood instantly stained his clothes red.

Shi Buyuan's hands were weak, and he could no longer catch Mu Ziling. An Wu, who was waiting for an opportunity not far away, jumped over, caught the limp Mu Ziling, and carried Mu Ziling to Yan Wen Hao stepped forward and carefully handed him over to Yan Wenhao.

And the rain falling a step later caught the child who was about to fall to the ground, and carried the child aside.

Shi Buyuan was seriously injured and could no longer resist. After ordering someone to arrest him, Jiang Xi turned around to look for Yan Wenhao, but in the blink of an eye, Yan Wenhao and Qin Yi had already left, sighing softly. With a sound, Jiang Xi withdrew his thoughts and continued to do business.

This time, there were as many as a hundred people who came to celebrate the first birthday of Shibuyuan's youngest son, many of whom were officials from various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and now they are all in prison. After Jiang Xi interrogates them one by one, they will be able to file a case. , Take the person to the capital, and the Emperor Yan decrees to punish him.

As for the aliens in Suzhou city, Jiang Xi also ordered them all to be arrested. After checking their identities, if they were just ordinary merchants or ordinary people, they would be escorted back to their hometowns. If they were in collusion with Shi Buyuan, they would also be sent to the capital. , Hand it over to Emperor Yan.

So far, the Jiangnan faction headed by Shi Buyuan has been eliminated, and the Jiangnan officialdom will usher in a clear and bright future.
