Chapter 438 What do you think he will say after he meets the old man?
The person delivering the gift gave earnest instructions for a long time, then left with his mission accomplished.
Sang Zhixia noticed Xu Yu's subtle expression and smiled playfully: "Why are you hiding so far away?"
"Are you really afraid that if you see something that Mr. Qi won't let you see, he'll dig out your eyes?"
Xu Yu was very clear-headed. "That old fellow is afraid of ropes after being bitten once. He won't gouge out your eyes out of your kindness, but he will certainly be subjected to a lot of sarcasm and physical abuse for a while."
"I don't want to mess with him."
It can't be said that I was scared and cowardly, but it was really annoying to be targeted by an old lunatic who was not only unrighteous but also full of poison.
Xu Yu couldn't bear to recall the miserable state he was in when he had diarrhea for three whole days after Mr. Qi passed away. He turned his head away in annoyance and fear.
Sang Zhixia was amused by his reaction. After pulling Xu Yu to sit down, she said, "Old Qi has given some people back. It seems he plans to move the remaining people from Qianyuan Villa to the farm to continue serving. Do you think they can be used?"
The people left in Qi Lao's hands were all former elites, and they knew the situation in Shu very well.
Sang Zhixia was very grateful that Mr. Qi was willing to give the people he had carefully trained to Sang Zhixia.
But Sang Zhixia also has his own concerns.
Qianyuan Villa is different from other places after all.
Once these people who were once classified as rebels entered the farm, even if they never carried out the rebellious acts they had previously planned, if the sewage was ever discovered, the two would be inextricably linked, and the entire farm would not be immune.
Xu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Sang Zhixia seemed to be thinking deeply. "Old Qi did tell me that there would no longer be Qianyuan Villa in the future, but this is a huge matter. Can you help me make a decision?"
"Since Qianyuan Villa no longer exists, there's nothing to worry about."
Xu Yu said slowly, "What I'm worried about is that these people will use the farm as an excuse to cause trouble again. If they behave themselves, there's nothing to worry about."
"At worst, we can just keep a closer eye on it and nip it in the bud if we notice anything wrong."
As long as we can prevent problems before they happen, why not use the existing manpower and channels?
Xu Yu guessed the hidden meaning behind Sang Zhixia's unspoken words and said with a smile, "That old man is now completely worried that you will follow in Qi Yan'er's footsteps. He wants to pour out his heart and soul to make up for all the regrets he didn't do in the past."
"People like that wouldn't play tricks on people like that."
Sang Zhixia smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't trust them, I'm just worried that I've taken too much from them."
It is said that those who are willing to help others are grateful for their kindness. Sang Zhixia won the favor of Mr. Qi by chance, but in the final analysis, their relationship was not very close.
The matter became serious, and Sang Zhixia couldn't help but worry about being controlled in the future.
Xu Yu sneered and pulled Sang Zhixia's earlobe, saying lazily, "Keep your heart to yourself. He won't have many opportunities to do anything bad."
"You didn't take advantage of him for nothing. You've figured out everything. You don't owe him anything."
We just help each other in times of trouble, and money and other things are external things.
Besides, Mr. Qi gave a lot of things, but Sang Zhixia herself also had enough.
These things are just temporarily kept for Mr. Qi, and will be returned in their original state when the time is right.
Sang Zhixia felt relieved after hearing Xu Yu's words. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Song Liu's low voice rang out from outside the door: "Young Master, the boss."
"There's a letter from Kyoto."
Xu Yu was startled and accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table. Seeing this, Sang Zhixia quickly held his hand and shouted, "Bring it in!"
The letter was sent by Bai Ziyu.
A thin piece of letter paper with just a few words.
After Xu Yu saw it all, sarcasm gradually faded from his eyes, and the gloom between his brows swept out uncontrollably.
Sang Zhixia grabbed Xu Yu's tense wrist with her backhand and frowned, "Is the news confirmed?"
"Besides this letter, is there any other news from Kyoto?"
Song Liu lowered his head and gritted his teeth as he said, "The Bai family's letter needs to arrive a little faster. The news sent back by the spies should arrive tonight at the latest."
"But……"
Song Liu suppressed his reluctance and took a deep breath. "The letter sent by the Bai family was in duplicate. One copy was deposited here, and the other was directly received by Mr. Bai Er."
"When I came over just now, I faintly heard Mr. Bai seem to have dropped a few things."
Sang Zhixia's throat choked slightly, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How could I resist smashing things?"
The harsh policies and salt rebellion in Shu were a foregone conclusion. The evidence secretly brought back by Zhao Zhongquan and others spanned several decades and clearly revealed the right and wrong, the injustices.
But even so, the culprit is still safe and sound.
Sang Zhixia tightened her lips, not knowing what to say. She shook her head and signaled Song Liu to go down first.
After the door was closed again, Sang Zhixia took Xu Yu's hand and said, "Although the emperor chose to sacrifice the chariot to save the emperor, the prince was still saved."
"But the prince's mother's family has been convicted of crimes, and those who had close ties with them have been held accountable one by one. The minions will be gone for now, so this trip won't be in vain."
The prince is in the East Palace, and his every move is under the watchful eyes of countless people. There are many shameful things that he cannot do on his own.
The minions of the Eastern Palace are tyrannical and have always been tyrannical and do whatever they want.
Although the prince's body was not really harmed after this incident, his teeth were broken. From now on, when the prince does evil again, he will not be as unscrupulous as before.
Sang Zhixia thought about it and wanted to say something, but her waist suddenly tightened without warning, and she was suddenly hugged by Xu Yu.
Xu Yu buried his face deep in the hollow of Sang Zhixia's shoulder and said softly, "Zhizhi, this isn't fair."
In such an era where imperial power is supreme, fairness is the two most ridiculous words.
Xu Yu knew better than anyone how ridiculous it was to say these two words.
But when I think about the many soldiers who died in vain in the Battle of Hongbei, and the stigma and suffering that the Jiaxing Marquisate was forced to bear, I still can't help but want to seek justice.
The case in Shu is very clear, very clear.
Even ignorant children in the folk can tell right from wrong, but the emperor, who only favors the prince, ignores the cries of the innocent souls of many soldiers on the border, and the suffering and life and death of countless people in Shu, just to protect the so-called orthodox royal bloodline and the useless and cruel prince.
As long as there is a prince that satisfies the emperor, can he really keep his throne?
Xu Yu's eyes were filled with anger, and he couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands.
Sang Zhixia took a breath, and in front of Xu Yu's helpless gaze, she slapped the back of his hand as if to punish him.
"Shall we have something sweet tonight?"
Xu Yu didn't expect Sang Zhixia to say this. He was stunned for a moment and laughed, "What do you want to eat sweet? Cheese?"
"The only thing you can make is cheese. You made this for me when I asked you."
Sang Zhixia took the initiative to open her arms and hugged Xu Yu's waist. When Xu Yu lowered his head, she said softly, "If you're in a bad mood, eat something sweet. It will make the bitterness go away."
"But there's no need to get upset over such inaction. After all, this isn't the first time you've seen it. Why make such a fuss?"
Xu Yu was amused by the teasing in Sang Zhixia's words. He lowered his head and rubbed Sang Zhixia's nose: "Zhizhi..."
Sang Zhixia poked Xu Yu's chest with her hand and said mysteriously, "It's better to make the decision on our own than to ask the gods for divination. If no one will give us justice, then it's the same if we go and find it ourselves."
A hint of darkness appeared in Xu Yu's eyes.
Sang Zhixia smiled lazily: "Didn't Jiang Yubai go to visit our old man?"
"What do you think he will say after he meets the old man?"
