Chapter 68 Xia Yanjing takes action to deal with the spy

After Shengxia left, Xia Yanjing turned to Ye Zi beside him and ordered, "Go and gather everyone on the list to the open space in front of the front hall." Ye Zi took the order and left, while Xia Yanjing leisurely asked someone to bring him a rocking chair and put it under the corridor.

The rocking chair was cushioned and looked very comfortable, and the wooden armrests were polished to a smooth shine. Xia Yanjing sat on it with satisfaction, feeling the slight rocking of the rocking chair, as if the whole world had become softer.

Xia Yanjing also had a small table placed next to the rocking chair, on which was placed a pot of fragrant tea and some fresh fruits.

Xia Yanjing lay comfortably in a rocking chair, with two servants standing behind him, holding palm-leaf fans and gently fanning him. The breeze brought a hint of coolness, making him feel very comfortable.

In sharp contrast to this leisurely scene are the servants and maids standing under the scorching sun.

They stood upright, sweat dripping down their foreheads and soaking their clothes, but no one dared to move. The sun shone mercilessly on them, as if it wanted to roast them.

Time passed by minute by minute, and this one stand lasted for a full stick of incense. The servants and waiters were already sweating profusely. Xia Yanjing glanced at the group of people below the stage and felt that the time was almost up.

Xia Yanjing slowly stood up from his seat. His movements were graceful and calm. Seeing this, Ye Zi beside him understood and quickly opened the umbrella in her hand to block the sunlight from Xia Yanjing's head.

All this seemed to happen naturally, but in fact it was something the two had discussed in advance.

Xia Yanjing walked around leisurely, tapping his fingers from time to time. In this way, Xia Yanjing walked around the crowd in a full circle.

When he finished his patrol, he did not stop, but walked forward a few steps and slowly walked back to his lounge chair.

Xia Yanjing pointed at the people standing in the audience, and then slowly instructed Ye Zi: "Ye Zi, just sell out the people I just pointed at." His voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

The group of servants who were spotted by Xia Yanjing were suddenly struck by lightning, their faces turned pale. They looked at Xia Yanjing in horror, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

After a brief moment of shock, the servants suddenly came to their senses and fell to their knees, kowtowed and begged, "Master, please have mercy! Master, please have mercy!"

However, in the face of the servants' pleading, Xia Yanjing seemed to be deaf to them. There was no emotion on his face, and he didn't even look at them.

At this moment, one of the servants kneeling on the ground finally couldn't contain his inner anger anymore. He suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Xia Yanjing, and shouted loudly: "Master, we really don't know what we have done wrong. Why do you treat us like this?"

"You are so bold, you dare to speak to your master like that? You must be tired of living!"

Xia Yanjing's face was as gloomy as water. He snorted coldly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Ye Zi, give him a hard slap on the face and teach him a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zi stepped forward without saying a word, raised his hands, and slapped the servant who had just spoken arrogantly with both hands. The sound of "pa pa pa" echoed in the air, crisp and loud.

"Well, since you want to know the reason, I might as well tell you. The general is my husband. Those of you who are even slightly pretty have no chance of dancing in front of the general. You are obviously seducing him." Xia Yanjing picked out those who were a little bit pretty, and there was no way to describe the rest.

The servants who had just been called didn't know whether to cry or laugh. They had no such idea at all. They just wanted to get more information back.

"Master, we would never dare to have such an idea. Please show mercy." One of the servants kowtowed and said, and then the servant who was called also echoed.

"As a fellow man, how can I not understand your thoughts? Stop talking, Ye Zi. Find out their indentures, tie them up and send them to the human traffickers." Xia Yanjing said with a cold snort.

"Yes." Without saying anything, Ye Zi called the guards from outside the door, tied up everyone and took them away.

The remaining servants were extremely grateful that they were ugly and did not offend Xia Yanjing, otherwise they would be the ones to be sold.

Xia Yanjing leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip, and savored the fragrance. His movements were graceful and calm, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

While drinking tea, Xia Yanjing picked up a piece of melon and chewed it slowly, enjoying this moment of leisure.

As for the servants and waiters, after what had just happened, they didn't dare to complain at all. They could only stand where they were, hoping that they would not be affected.

Soon Xia Yanjing stood up again, walked around the crowd again, ordered a few waiters, and then lay back on the recliner without saying a word.

The few servants who were called out were a little scared. They were not men and could not seduce the general, so what was the point of calling them out?

"Ye Zi, let's sell out the food to the few people we just ordered." Xia Yanjing said while shaking his head, as if asking if anyone had eaten today.

"Master, please spare me, Master, please spare me." The little servant who was called out knelt down in fear and begged for mercy.

"It's useless to beg me. If you want to blame someone, blame your good looks. What if one of you seduces me one day and I don't refuse, wouldn't that make the general unhappy?" Xia Yanjing said lazily.

"We have no improper thoughts towards you, sir. Please forgive us." The servants who were called out felt very wronged. They had never had such thoughts before.

"I'm so handsome, so charming, and yet you have no improper thoughts about me. I think your eyes are not good, so you should sell me out. Ye Zi, do it." Xia Yanjing risked everything. He was not going to save his old face today.

Ye Zi glanced at Xia Yanjing frequently. She felt that Xia Yanjing's acting was too real. If it weren't for dealing with this group of spies, Ye Zi would have left long ago. He was too narcissistic.

Ye Zi called the guards waiting outside the door and tied up all the people and took them away. At this time, there were only twenty people in the audience.

After the person was dragged away, Xia Yanjing lay back on his recliner. I have to say, it’s so comfortable when you don’t have to go to work, Xia Yanjing thought in a very good mood.

Xia Yanjing did not rush to take action on the remaining twenty people. After all, they were not at work and he had plenty of time. Although the twenty people who stayed were dissatisfied, they were all glad that they were not good-looking.
