In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.
Before the mob could reach their villag...
Su Xinguang looked at the Sixth Hall Master with a smile and sneered in his heart.
Don't be fooled by his pleasant face and appearance as a good guy at this moment. In fact, he must be extremely panicked at the moment.
The reason was simple. It was probably during this period of time in his previous life that he, together with the masters of the third and tenth halls, had found a complete solution to the poison of the Soul-Calling Powder. They were only missing the last ingredient to completely get rid of the Dark Pavilion and the control of the Pavilion Master.
In their previous life, they succeeded and turned the Dark Pavilion upside down. In the end, the Pavilion Master killed the three people with brutal means. As for the other hall masters, they naturally coveted the antidote, but unfortunately they did not get what they wanted.
Now that he suddenly changed the poison, it would be strange if these three hall masters were not panicked. I'm afraid they are all speculating in their hearts whether the Pavilion Master has heard some news, so he replaced the original Soul-Invoking Powder with the Machine-Turning Poison.
Su Xinguang didn't care what they were thinking, as long as they didn't cause any trouble for him.
If civil strife breaks out in the Dark Cabinet now, he won't be able to suppress it, and those who can suppress it cannot be released.
Su Xinguang smiled and said, "Yes."
When the word "have" came out, the Sixth Hall Master's heart skipped a beat.
Su Xinguang said with a smile: "The Pavilion Master asked all the Hall Masters to do their own work. No one in the Dark Pavilion must interfere with the recent plague in the Great Yong Dynasty and the fights between several princes of the Great Yong Dynasty. All matters concerning the Great Yong Dynasty must be reported as soon as possible. The Pavilion Master will be in seclusion for the next six months. I will convey any matters on his behalf."
The last sentence successfully made the Sixth Hall Master, the Third Hall Master, and the Tenth Hall Master breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Pavilion Master did not discover what happened to them, and just happened to use the Qianji poison.
The three of them felt regretful, wondering how could this be such a coincidence.
Since they can solve the Soul-Calling Powder, it is not impossible to solve the Machine-Pulling Poison.
The three of them looked at each other secretly and reached a consensus on their goal.
The last sentence not only appeases the three hall masters, but also tells everyone that if they have any problem in the future, they can come to him.
He is now a popular figure in front of the Pavilion Master, so it is very important for him to raise his status.
At the beginning everyone must have looked down on him, but they would be courteous to him for the sake of the Pavilion Master. He wanted them to form a habit of this superficial courtesy among everyone in the Dark Pavilion.
Once he has enough strength to take over the Dark Chamber and then ascend to that position, the resistance will naturally be much smaller, and it won't be so difficult for people to accept.
Su Xinguang has already planned everything for the future and is just waiting to realize it step by step.
What he has to do now is to improve his fighting power.
The essence of a person's survival lies in being strong enough, not in external things. External things can only be regarded as a blessing.
"Hall masters, you can leave if you have nothing else to do."
The hall masters left one by one.
Only the Sixth Hall Master did not leave, but stayed where he was.
Su Xinguang looked at the Sixth Hall Master, "Sixth Hall Master, do you have anything else to say?"
"Just now, the Pavilion Master instructed me to tell him about the events in the court of the Great Yong Dynasty. I just happened to have a summary of what happened to the officials in the court of the Great Yong Dynasty in recent times."
The Sixth Hall Master is in charge of intelligence within the cabinet, so this matter is naturally within his responsibility.
"Show it up."
"I'll go get it now and present it to you later."
"Yes." Su Xinguang nodded, "Sixth Hall Master, do you have anything else to do?"
It seems that he stayed not for this matter, but for some other reason.
The Sixth Hall Master smiled and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, as well as a thick stack of silver bills and put them in Su Xinguang's hand.
Su Xinguang raised his eyebrows, "Sixth Hall Master, what are you doing?"
"You have worked hard to serve the Pavilion Master, and these are just a small token of my appreciation."
Su Xinguang pushed him away, "Sixth Hall Master, serving the Pavilion Master is my job."
The Sixth Hall Master pushed the things back and said, "Hey, don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to take good care of the Pavilion Master. There is absolutely nothing else."
How could Su Xinguang not know his little tricks? He said that he would not let him do anything, but when it came time to use him, no one could refuse him.
He won’t make any demands once, twice, or three times, but sometimes you receive too many things and you owe him a favor. When he asks you to do something for him, you can’t refuse even if you want to.
He is not only unworthy of the favor, but also has the leverage over him. Once the Pavilion Master knows about this, the Sixth Hall Master will at most be punished, but the medicine boy who serves the Pavilion Master personally will have no way out.
By that time, you won't be able to help him even if you don't want to.
If it were any other green-handed or inexperienced medicine boy, he would definitely be fooled, but Su Xinguang was not afraid.
Now he still wants to stabilize the other party, so naturally he is happy to let the other party think that he has him under control.
But you still have to refuse. If you accept it easily, you will seem cheap and easy to manipulate.
Su Xinguang still pushed the things back, "Sixth Hall Master, you are too polite. I won't accept the reward without any merit."
The Sixth Hall Master pushed it back again, "They are just some worthless trinkets, don't take them to heart."
After the two of them went back and forth for several rounds, Su Xinguang finally accepted it reluctantly.
"You really won't let me do anything else?"
When the Sixth Hall Master heard his straightforward question, he felt contempt in his heart, but his face still had a harmless expression, "Of course."
"Then I will be disrespectful."
The Sixth Hall Master watched him put the things into his arms with a smile, his eyes sparkling.
Six Halls
As soon as the hall master came back, he ordered his subordinates to compile all the information about the officials of the Dayong Dynasty. After receiving the order, the subordinates took action one by one, and the confidential documents were transmitted to the hall through the secret channel mechanism.
The person in charge of organizing the intelligence in the hall will then summarize all the information and hand it over to the hall master.
Progressive layer by layer, in an orderly manner.
One of the people who was responsible for screening intelligence frowned slightly as he looked at the latest news from the Shangjing City branch.
"This Shunyi Marquis is really speechless." The man muttered in dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong?" asked the person next to him.
"We received news from the Shangjing branch hall earlier that the Shunyi Marquis offered us a thousand taels of gold to find the murderer who killed Xu Lanzhi. The woman was tied up with stones and sunk into the river on the official road where refugees were rampant. Now there are so many refugees every day, and they have no fixed place to live. It is not easy to find the murderer."
"It's not easy, and he should understand this."
The person who received the message snorted disdainfully, "He doesn't know. He now demands that we find the murderer within half a month."
"So rampant?"
"Those who give money are naturally the bosses."
"Any news?" another person asked.
