Chapter 3162 When a lobbyist meets an assassin

When the dawn came again, Wu Yi put on his clothes early, sat in the hall and watched the sun rise, then went out in silence and headed towards the Chengdu government office.

Every day is a new day, but every day is also the last day.

Because today passes and never comes again.

It’s like if some opportunities are not seized, there will never be any chance.

Sichuan and Shu.

It should not be the end point of Wu's family.

Wu Yi did not like Sichuan and Shu because Sichuan did not belong to him.

But adults cannot do things just by their likes or not.

"Wu is engaged in...it's a polite person...

Someone bowed to the left to greet Wu Yi.

Wu Yi smiled slightly and returned the favor.

On the surface, Wu Yi looked very calm, and it seemed that there was no difference from usual, but in fact he was very nervous, and he couldn't even remember who was the one who greeted him just now.

Walking through the street, climbing up the slope, and moving forward along the stone road, is where the official party is located.

Xu Shu did not meet Wu Yi in the main hall, but chose to be in the side hall.

The side hall seems to be an attitude, not so formal or so casual, it depends on how to understand it in the future or how to act.

Xu Shu sat in the hall, wearing a red and black official robe that was half new and not old.

Xu Shu and Wu Yi are about the same age, but their status is much different now.

When Wu Yi was rich, Xu Shu was still a wanted fugitive.

Now Wu Yi still has no worries about food and clothing, but Xu Shu is already a chief official.

The rank of two thousand stones was 99% of the Han people in the Han Dynasty, and they could not reach such a position in their entire lives.

It can be imagined that if Fei Qian really became the king one day, or he would go further...

This is something that is absolutely impossible in a peaceful and prosperous era, and it has become possible in a chaotic era.

Go to the sky in one step.

Wu Yi bowed deeply.

Xu Shu smiled and helped each other.

Both of them are still young and have a future.

"The subordinates came for the rumor of the market..." Wu Yi said frankly, "Therefore, the matter involved the subordinates' brothers, so the subordinates did not receive the order of the envoy, so they investigated the matter without authorization... I hope the envoy forgives the crime..."

"It is related to oneself, and investigation, what is the reason for this? "Xu Shu smiled and did not ask.

The servant who served the tea came up, Wu Yi quietly waited for the servant to take the tea and retreat, and then slowly said: "After visiting the subordinates, they found that not only the spies from Jiangdong... but also the people from Sichuan and Shu participated in it..."

"Oh?" Xu Shu looked slightly correct, "I would like to hear the details."

"The spy from Jiangdong came across the mountains and crossed the river. He was unfamiliar with the place. If there was no evidence of the road, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the river." Wu Yi said in a deep voice, "I visited Chengdu City Square and found that most of the rumors were spread from Hongshan Square..."

Xu Shu asked, "Does Ziyuan have any evidence?"

"There are four witnesses." Wu Yi replied.

Xu Shu held the tea bowl and pondered silently.

This is not a way to serve tea and send guests.

Sending tea to see guests is a hidden rule formed in the Song Dynasty. When guests come, order tea and soup when they see guests. When they are served, they are art-like in the big braided dynasty, but they are not clear about it. They only know half of it, and as a result, they came up with a rule of serving tea to see guests. According to normal Chinese etiquette, when guests enter the door, they even have tea arrangements, and they cannot drink a sip. They are driven away when they serve them. Only the big braided dynasty can do such things...

Wu Yi said again: "The subordinates sent someone to investigate openly and secretly, and they let Peng Yongnian investigate in the yard on the surface, which attracted attention... Then they followed the clues they got and asked in other yards... The origin of this matter was Du's prophecy, and then others promoted the fire..."

"Who?" Xu Shu asked.

"Linjiang Yang Family." Wu Yi said.

Xu Shu looked up at Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was also looking at Xu Shu. The two of them had a gaze, and they seemed to see some blood in each other's eyes.

Wu Yi seemed to understand something.

"What else is there besides the witness?" Xu Shu asked.

Wu Yi replied: "My clan brother is the commander of Mianzhu, and Mianzhu was damaged by the fire earlier, and the household registration information was also lost... Now the household registration is recorded by the person who handled it later..."

Xu Shu looked a little more serious and said slowly: "If this is the case... there will be more people involved..."

Wu Yi said in a deep voice: "How can those who are illegal have the right to let go? If this continues, how can the national law remain?"

Xu Shu nodded slightly.

Wu Yi said again: "I have also found some old things... In the early years, some counterfeit murder cases also involved people from Sichuan and Shu... My subordinates thought that now the trial of these cases will also help the king educate the barbarians..."

"Evidence is required for everything." Xu Shu said.

"Then you need to authorize the lord to your subordinates before you can thoroughly investigate." Wu Yi bowed and said.

"In this way, Ziyuan is not afraid of... others criticizing him?" Xu Shu did not agree immediately and said slowly.

"Fear!" Wu Yi said in a deep voice, "So, today I will come to see the envoy to ask for his order..."

Xu Shu pondered, he knew that Wu Yi was not a stubborn person, so he could use it, but whether it could be of great use still needs to be considered.

And in Sichuan and Sichuan, the talent accumulation is even weaker.

If there are still poor families in Chang'an and students from Liangzhou in Bingzhou can supplement officials, then in Sichuan and Shu, there are very few people who can use Xu Shu, and there are barbarians around him.

Moreover, this time when Jiangdong came, in addition to Du and Yang, there were also Wang clans in Guanghan, Gu clans in Deyang, Zhou clans in Langzhong, and foreign tribes around Sichuan and Shu...

For example, Lei family, Cuan family, Meng family, Ding family, etc.

According to Wu Yi's idea, it is not a strange strategy to support the barbarians to suppress the Sichuan and Shu gentry.

Liu Yan did this a long time ago, but the effect was not good at that time. It soon ended with the resistance of the local gentry of Sichuan and Shu, and finally embarked on the road of no return with the Dongchuan people.

"Brother Ziyuan is very wise. If everyone in Sichuan and Sichuan... no, as long as most people can be so upright with Brother Ziyuan, it is believed that Sichuan will be more prosperous, and the people will be healthy and stable, and enjoy peace."

Xu Shu had some unspoken words in this sentence.

Wu Yi seemed to hear something, so he hurriedly said: "The envoy is very concerned about... The stability in Sichuan is the most important, so he found out these spies in Jiangdong and those who plot against the rebels early, which is also for the peace of the military and civilians."

Xu Shu nodded, "This is great. Then... this matter will be a long time..."

Xu Shu made a decision to ask Wu Yi to participate in the review of spies and investigate related cases.

Wu Yi will therefore receive some expansion of authority, but it will also cost a certain amount of money.

The price of becoming a dog-leg...

Or...

Wu Yi left, Fa Zheng walked over from the corridor on one side, stared at Wu Yi's back for a moment, then went to the side hall, bowed to Xu Shu, "Envoy..."

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Wu Ziyuan wanted to use the injustice of the barbarians as an incision to investigate the gentry of Sichuan and Shu."

Fa Zheng's eyes turned, "Wu Ziyuan is so calculating!"

Xu Shu also smiled and signaled Fa Zheng to sit down, "Give him a chance, let's see if he does it... If he doesn't do it well, then you will have to worry about Lai Xiao and keep it a little..."

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, "Dare not obeying the order."

Now is just the beginning.

Fa Zheng smiled, as if he saw prey struggling in the net.

...

...

Wu Yi left the official hall and walked back. Suddenly, he saw some figures flashing on the corner of the street. When he looked up, he only saw a corner of his robe.

Wu Yi walked home and whispered to discuss the matter.

Soon, several confidants in charge came.

Wu Yi stroked his beard and said, "The best strategy has failed."

Everyone was stunned.

The best strategy is naturally to gain Xu Shu's trust and relieve Wu's crisis, but it is obviously impossible now. Although Xu Shu smiled on the surface, it does not mean that he can unconditionally believe all Wu Yi's words, nor will he give Wu Yi too much authority, but only gives Wu Yi an opportunity to show his loyalty...

You even have to sacrifice your life to prove your loyalty.

『Master…』 Wu Yi asked, 『The envoy’s intention is…』

Wu Yi waved his hand, obviously not wanting to change his attitude with his confidant to study Xu Shu. His best plan was not very likely, so he went for Zhongce.

Wu Yi thought, his face gloomy.

The political system of the Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years is two words from beginning to end.
To be continued...
