Main Text Chapter 486 Show some Color
(Thanks to ‘Ling Jing 9’ for the second red reward on 9.1, here is an extra chapter! Also, there will be three chapters today!)
He thought he had heard wrongly. He wanted to get back the gift he had given away. This…
“What?” Miao Yi asked in surprise, “I don’t trust others to do this! You can keep the things after they come back. It’s only right for you. I can’t swallow my anger if I give them to those guys!”
He didn’t care what Xu Jinsong and the other three people thought. Sooner or later, they would find out that he was cheating on several people, and they would not look at him well. If Tao Qingli hadn’t come knocking on the door this time, those things would have been given away for nothing. Since Tao Qingli had come knocking on the door, he didn’t need to wait for them to show their anger first. He would let them look bad first. Otherwise, it would be so uncomfortable to give gifts to others and then be angry with them.
If it were somewhere else, Miao Yi would definitely not dare to do this. After all, those three were already masters of the Red Lotus Realm. Although they would not dare to kill the palace masters directly in other places, they could drive others to seize your territory, such as Zhang Decheng's attack on Yang Qing, which would make people afraid to act rashly. But there is no need to worry here, because fighting and killing for territory is not allowed here. It would be strange for Miao Yi to be afraid of them!
"Sir! It's not good to take back the things you gave away, right?" Yan Xiu hesitated and said, "It's too embarrassing to do such a thing. Otherwise, I'd better not take those things, so as not to lose face if it gets out."
"Yan Xiu! How did you learn to disobey orders? I treat you well, right?" Miao Yi put his hands behind his back and said a little unhappy, "I would have gone to do something that is not embarrassing. It is because of embarrassment that I let you go. Do you want me to embarrass myself? Or do you want me to embarrass myself?"
"..." Yan Xiu was speechless and smiled bitterly, "I obey your orders! But... after all, the three of them are cultivators in the Red Lotus Realm. What if they don't give it to me?"
"Yan Xiu! You have followed me for many years. You just listened for so long, why don't you understand what I mean? Those three guys must be going to quarrel with me. Now it's not just as simple as taking the things back, but I told you to bring up Tao Xingxing when you go to ask for things, and say that she asked me to take them back. They dare not not return them. If I let them swallow these things silently, they will definitely use all means to target me. If I take the things back, they will not dare to target me openly. Then everyone will think they are retaliating. Didn’t you see that I asked Tao Xingxing for Lingyu? If they dare to do anything to me next time, I will immediately complain and say that they are retaliating against me because I asked them for things back. This is called an excuse. Do you understand? ”
Yan Xiu suddenly realized that it was a serious matter, and immediately bowed his hands and said: "I understand, I must get the things back."
"It’s not enough to just get it back. If you don’t give it back, you will make a big fuss in Zhengui Palace. If you give less, you will also make a fuss. Even if you give it all, you must spread the news." Seeing that Yan Xiu always couldn’t turn around, Miao Yi had to explain it clearly. "You are not going alone this time. I just sent a message to Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, asking them to send a trusted person each. Some things are not easy to explain in the letter. You should go with them on the way to avoid falling into the hands of others. Explain your intentions to them clearly, otherwise they will be unsure."
"I understand!" Yan Xiu nodded, and withdrew after confirming that there was nothing else.
Tao Qingli, who left Shuiyun Mansion, really went straight to Zhengui Palace. As soon as he arrived, he scolded Xu Jinsong, Ji Ze and Huang Jichang. They had seen nonsense, but they had never seen such nonsense. You three guys inserted so many people at once, how should they arrange them? Are you trying to force them to rebel or what?
The three jade tablets they wrote by themselves were smashed in their own hands. The three people were speechless. No matter what the reason was, once this kind of thing was brought to the surface, it was their fault, and nothing you said would be of any use.
The three people could only curse in their hearts, bastard! It's okay to step on two boats, but two legs actually want to step on three boats! It's fine if you stepped on him, but you dare to complain, you are so cruel!
The most hateful thing is that the guy from Shuiyun Mansion actually said that he was forced to attack Pingyang Mansion by the three of them. He didn't say that when he told us. But such words cannot be said. Since it's not said that, why didn't you say it earlier and help him get rid of the blame?
Wait and see, the days ahead are long, and you three guys will have to suffer! The three of them were dumb and could not say anything about their suffering, and could only secretly be angry in their hearts!
Shen Huaixin's status is relatively transcendent. He is the master of a hall, and the entire Zhengui Hall is his territory. He doesn't need to interfere with others for profit like the three walkers, so he was only reprimanded twice for poor supervision.
But until Tao Qingli left Zhengui Palace, she did not mention anything about giving gifts. She was the one who condoned some things. If the three people had not gone too far, she would not have said anything...
In Yunsang Mansion, Sikong Wuwei walked around the courtyard with a jade tablet, sat in the pavilion, looked at the jade tablet, scratched his head, went back to the main hall and sat down, and continued to scratch his head.
Seeing that he was very entangled, the maids Yufang and Yulian came over and asked, "My lord, do you have any questions?"
"I can't figure it out!" Sikong Wuwei shook his head, sucked his teeth and pointed at the jade tablet and said, "I don't want to give those things to those three bastards, but if I take back the things I gave away, it will be laughed at. When did I, Sikong Wuwei, do such a shameful thing? What the hell is Brother Miao doing?"
In Qianze Mansion, Zhao Fei, who was sitting in front of the long desk, had the same puzzled look on his face. He held the jade ultimatum in one hand and tapped it with five fingers on the other hand, but he couldn't figure out what Miao Yi wanted to do.
However, because of his trust in Miao Yi, he knew that Miao Yi must have a deep intention in doing this, and finally sent his trusted followers to carry out the execution...
In Zhengui Hall, Xu Xingxing's mansion, after a monk entered the main hall and saluted, Xu Jinsong stretched out his hand and said: "Liu Fen, sit down and talk!"
"Thank you for walking!" The monk named Liu Fen was polite and sat down to obey.
Xu Jinsong showed a smile and said: "Liu Fen! You said last time that you didn't want to go to Shuiyun Mansion. I thought about it after thinking about it. Shuiyun Mansion is too messy. Go to Pingyang Mansion! I have already secured a place for you. The position of Mountain Lord. Haha! Ordinarily, your cultivation is enough to be the Palace Lord, but if you do it first, you will have more opportunities in the future."
After finishing speaking and waiting for others to thank him, unexpectedly, a hesitant look flashed across Liu Fen's face, and Xu Jinsong's face immediately darkened, "What? You don't want to?"
"No, no!" Liu Fen quickly waved his hand and explained: "I'm not in a hurry to walk. I'd better arrange for others first. I can wait a little longer."
But I was muttering in my heart, who dares to go to Pingyang Mansion! They were all killed! The three murderers are still at large, and they are still surrounding Pingyang Mansion. They have clearly regarded Pingyang Mansion as a forbidden area. If those three madmen get hot-headed and bloodbath one day, they will not even have a chance to cry. No matter how good it is, Your own life is not important!
Xu Jinsong's face gradually became unsightly. He usually fawned and begged to be released, but now he was avoiding everyone. This was already the second refusal. He was not a fool, how could he not guess the reason.
Just as he was about to give some clues, a maid came in from outside and announced: "Sir! Shuiyun Mansion, Qianze Mansion, and Yunsang Mansion have sent people to ask for a meeting with you!"
"I haven't settled the accounts with them yet, and they still have the nerve to come see me!" Xu Jinsong suddenly looked angry, and directed his temper at Liu Fen, "Get back first! I tell you, there will be no one after you pass this village. After visiting this store, go back and think about it yourself! ”
Liu Fen resigned.
After a while, Yan Xiu, Lian Babai, and Zhang Yaocheng came in hand in hand. The latter two were the cronies sent by Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei.
Naturally, Xu Jinsong would not give them a good look, and said with a cold face: "What do you want from me?"
The three of them each handed over a list. Xu Jinsong was a little confused after reading it and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yan Xiu cupped his hands and replied: "According to the decree of Shui Xing Palace Tao Xing, the master of the palace ordered the three of me to take back the gifts given to you!"
"..." Xu Jinsong was stunned and speechless for a long time, and soon his face turned black.
The maid next to him was also dumbfounded. There was no reason for anyone to take back the gift he gave...
When Yan Xiu and the others walked out of Xu Xingxing's mansion, they all looked back and heard the sound of teacups being thrown inside.
The three of them looked at each other with a guilty look, Yan Xiu stretched out his hand and said: "You two, let's go, there are two more families!"
After the three of them came out of Guo Ji Xingxing and Huang Xingxing's mansion, they walked around Zhengui Hall again.
By the time the three of them left Zhengui Hall on horseback, it was as if a pot had exploded.
Giving the three walking gifts and asking for them back, one can imagine how quickly such explosive news spreads.
The little aunt of Zhengui Hall hurriedly entered the quiet room where the master of the hall was practicing, and quickly reported the news.
Shen Huaixin, who was meditating cross-legged, was surprised and asked, "Have you asked us to take back your things too?"
Ruhuan shook his head and said, "That's not true. The people sent by the Three Prefectures have already left."
Shen Huaixin breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was full of displeasure, "Those three guys are getting more and more outrageous. I can't treat you as a decoration! If you don't show them some color and restrain their hands and feet, there will be no more trouble later." Know what's going to happen!"
Two days later, Qianze Mansion, Yunsang Mansion, and Shuiyun Mansion received the decree at the same time. The 200 troops each transferred to Pingyang Mansion for temporary guarding no longer need to come back. They were all detained in Pingyang Mansion. Appointment is equivalent to cutting off 600 people from three mansions at once.
It’s hard to say anything about the three houses. After all, Pingyang House was completely killed by them. We can’t leave Pingyang House empty all the time. What else can you say about transferring people from you?
This was not over yet. A few days later, the people from each government were mobilized again. It was said that some personnel tend to become inert in one place for a long time, and the people from each government should be rotated. Six hundred troops were also transferred from other six prefectures to Pingyang Prefecture.
The Three Prefectures thought that they would have nothing to do this time, but unexpectedly a few days later the decree arrived, and they would once again transfer 600 troops from the Three Prefectures to supplement the Sixth Prefecture that had previously transferred 600 troops.
