Chapter 346 Liu Xi: Wang Shouren? I've Never Heard of Him, but He's Just a Little Scoundrel.

Chapter 346 Liu Xi: Wang Shouren? Never heard of him... Turns out he's just a... little jerk

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you to my humble home!"

"Forgive me! Forgive me!"

Outside Murong Villa, Murong Wudi once again took his two sons out to greet him, but this time he was greeted by a dead eunuch.

The new governor of the East Factory, Liu Xi.

"Father-in-law, there's no need to be so polite!"

A red-robed eunuch with gray hair and deep eyes casually returned the greeting to Murong Wudi. It was Liu Xi, the governor of the East Factory, and the source of the recent unrest in the Ming Dynasty.

In order to practice his incomplete "Absorbing Power Method", Liu Xi secretly harmed many martial arts masters in the Central Plains. This time, for the so-called "Five Yangs and Two Yins" and "Seven Stars in a Row" legends, he even arrested Tie Ruyun, the leader of the martial arts world recommended by the martial arts heroes.

However, all these things he did were approved by the emperor, or he was clever and asked the emperor to suppress the martial arts world. After receiving the "imperial order", he deliberately acted vaguely to achieve his own goals.

Of course, it was also because the emperor didn't care about what Liu Xi did. The emperor just wanted to suppress the martial arts world and reduce the number of knights who violated the law with martial arts.

Liu Xi chose to cause chaos in the martial arts world by arresting Tie Ruyun, and to provoke disputes among the various factions. When many martial artists fought to the death for the position of leader, it would naturally weaken the martial arts world.

When this plan was implemented, Murong Wudi also got the "imperial order" to participate in it, helping Liu Xi's men to besiege Tie Ruyun and other "Five Yang" masters.

So in all, there was some friendship between the Murong family and Liu Xi.

But somehow, when he saw Liu Xi coming to greet him with a smile, Murong Wudi inexplicably thought of Xu Xin's previous words, and felt a little worried.

"This governor came here on purpose!"

Liu Xi's next words made Murong Wudi even more suspicious. He always felt that Liu Xi had bad intentions, so he continued to be polite.

"Oh, may I ask why!"

"The palace rules state that concubines should not return to their parents' home for more than one month! This is the first time that Concubine Shu returns to her parents' home to visit her parents. I am worried that Concubine Shu is not aware of this. If she breaks the palace rules unintentionally, it will be bad if the emperor investigates. Therefore, I came here to remind her."

Just then, Concubine Shu led the palace people and slowly walked towards the hall.

The eunuch announced loudly: "Concubine Shu is here."

Including Liu Xi and Murong Wudi, everyone went out to greet and salute. No matter how arrogant Liu Xi was, he had to be respectful in front of the royal family on the surface.

Concubine Shu stepped into the hall.

There was a deep covetousness in Liu Xi's eyes when he looked at her.

"Five Yang" is easy to get, "Two Yin" is hard to find. If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to find a woman with strong martial arts skills in a yin year, yin month and yin time, Liu Xi would not have set his sights on Concubine Shu. This is the emperor's favorite concubine. Once the truth is revealed, he will definitely die.

Concubine Shu entered the hall and sat at the first seat. Everyone in the room stood up. Murong Wudi and Liu Xi sat on the left and right of Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu said to Liu Xi indifferently: "Eunuch Liu, I have only been home for less than a day. Is your reminder a little early?"

Liu Xi said respectfully: "My lady, I am just afraid that you will forget and break the rules."

"And the emperor's insomnia often relapses. It is better for you to return to the palace as soon as possible."

"Is this the emperor's oral order?"

Concubine Shu sat calmly and asked indifferently.

Liu Xi smiled and replied, "Your Highness, no, it's my feelings for the Emperor."

"Bold Liu Xi, as an eunuch, you presumptuously speculate on the Emperor's intentions. Do you want to deceive the Emperor?"

Xu Xin's voice came from outside the hall, resounding and righteous. He walked to Liu Xi alone and looked fearlessly at the powerful East Factory Governor.

"Who are you!"

"Wang Shouren! You should know this name!"

"Wang Shouren? I haven't heard of him. It turns out that he is a small figure without an official position. He is not worthy of being known by this Governor!"

Liu Xi looked at Xu Xin with contempt and disdain, as if he was looking at a small scoundrel, but in fact, when Xu Xin appeared and heard the name Wang Shouren, his heartbeat accelerated.

One of the important reasons for him to leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan this time was Xu Xin.

Xu Xin's operation in Jiangnan almost disintegrated and recovered a large part of his trusted forces, forcing him to go out in person.

"I am a humble person, a commoner, and have never been an official, but at least I have the title of a scholar. This time I am ordered by the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River, so I am also an imperial envoy, so I can file a complaint with the emperor. Liu Xi, you have taken the emperor's will, I will write to the court and report everything to the noble!"

Xu Xin did not look at Liu Xi, but just looked to the north and bowed respectfully.

"You are sharp-tongued and eloquent, but this is the only skill a scholar can have."

"A few days ago, this governor just arrested a censor named Fang. Before he went to the prison, he was as sharp-tongued as you, but now... hehe... not only will he be in trouble, but also his family will..."

When Liu Xi talked about this, the faces of Murong Shu and Murong Wudi beside him changed.

This censor named Fang has a close relationship with the Murong family. He is Murong Shu's teacher and an important network of Murong family in the court. Now he was arrested by Liu Xi and taken to the East Factory. It was also this incident that made the Murong family feel bad.

"The crime of disrespecting the emperor can lead to the extermination of the family, but I'm curious, Liu Xiangxiang, do you still have a family?"

"You are so bold!"

When Liu Xi heard Xu Xin mention the word "Liu Xiangxiang", he became furious. Liu Xiangxiang is Ya's real name. He had this name before he entered the palace. Later he changed his name to Liu Xi, which meant a complete break with the past. Unexpectedly, someone has found out all the details.

"You are the only one who is bold. What you are planning now is not simply to deceive the emperor. It would be unjust to destroy all nine of your clans!"

Xu Xin glanced at Murong Shu unintentionally as he spoke. Liu Xi, who was face to face with him, was startled and subconsciously wanted to take action.

"enough!"

At this time Murong Shu spoke.

"Eunuch Hong, please give the emperor a verbal order."

Murong Shu glanced at Liu Xi and called the accompanying eunuch to come in and announce the decree.

In Liu Xi's stunned eyes, a green-robed eunuch walked into the hall, and everyone hurriedly came.

"Your Majesty has decreed that Concubine Shu will return to Ning Province to pay homage to her ancestors and return to the palace after forty. I hereby express my gratitude."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Shu took the lead in thanking him.

Everyone shouted long live.

"Lord Governor, you don't have to worry now."

Murong Shu said this.

Liu Xi stood up angrily, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

…

At night, a figure walked outside the room where Liu Xi was resting. It was Murong Wudi.

Liu Xi was sitting in the room reading a book. The tea in the water cup on the table shook slightly. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knocked out the book in his hand with a palm, broke the window and hit Murong Wudi.

Murong Wudi escaped the attack, but seeing that the situation was not right, he wanted to avoid the attack temporarily. Unexpectedly, Liu Xi had already taken advantage of the contact between the two people's qi to activate his power-absorbing technique, intending to suck Murong Wudi into the room.

The method of absorbing energy is basically a natural defeat for those whose skills are weaker than your own. Especially after the opponent successfully activates the absorbed energy, it is basically impossible to break free on your own.
