Chapter 862 Scope of tacit consent

The disappearance of Princess Rousi has never been widely publicized. After all, if the princess is lost, the royal family loses face, and the Plum Blossom Guard loses face. How can you talk about such a shameful thing casually.

Therefore, the people did not know about it from beginning to end, and no one cared about whether the princess was in the palace or not. But if the princess was lost, it would be a topic of conversation after dinner.

Yang Yiyi didn't think about these things at all, and asked quite straightforwardly.

"How long has it been since you left Situ Mansion? We have been back a long time ago."

After saying this, Yang Yiyi remembered that it had been several months since she left Qizhou.

After all, Princess Rousi is a princess of the Yuezhou Kingdom. It is impossible for her to stay in a foreign country for a long time. After arranging security work, she immediately sets off to go home. She should be idle in the palace now, baring her teeth.

"I'm curious as to why you are in Taohuawu."

The matter of helping Tianjue Palace deliver the letter must not be told. If it were Yang Yiyi herself, there would definitely be flaws in the lie, but there was also Wu Shaoyi.

"The two of us traveled all the way here without any purpose, just wandering around."

Sun Wei glanced at Wu Shaoyi suspiciously, but didn't say much.

According to the information from the Plum Blossom Guard, Yang Yiyi had been to southern Xinjiang, and after returning, she went all the way north. It was obvious that she had a purpose.

As for the specific purpose, Sun Wei doesn't care much about it. He likes whatever he likes about Jianghu people.

"I think that Yang Nuxia's internal strength seems to be more refined. I just made a recommendation to Head Xing. If you don't want to take action, you can refuse."

"No, I just want to find someone to stretch my muscles. Besides, we also have something to ask of Head Xing, so that we can help him get things done."

Sun Wei understood. After all, Wu Shaoyi was sitting in a wheelchair. If he wasn't blind, he would know what the so-called "asking for help" was really asking for.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Miss Yang. I'll prepare for tomorrow."

Sun Wei was waiting here just to say hello, and after that he bowed his hands and left.

"Wait a minute, I have something to do."

"Oh? Miss Yang is actually looking for a court eagle like me again?"

"Really only people from your court can do it."

This made Sun Wei even more curious.

"Do you know the magistrate of Dingshui County?"

"Know."

"Then he was greedy for disaster relief food..."

"The original mission of our Plum Blossom Guard is to monitor all civil and military officials. I know better than him how many times the Dingshui County Magistrate has extended his hand."

"In that case, why not bring him to justice?"

Yang Yiyi is still brooding about this matter.

Li Chengqi's enlightenment did stop Yang Yiyi from continuing to get into trouble, but it didn't mean that Yang Yiyi could forget about it. She still felt that one is one, and two is two. It was wrong to be greedy, and it was just wrong. No matter what the reason was, the crime could not be covered up.

"Nvxia Yang is kind-hearted, okay, I'll tell you the truth. The Dingshui County Magistrate is quite capable, and his greed is within the scope of tacit approval."

"Is there any scope for acquiescence?"

"Yes, this category is to be able to serve the emperor."

"What...is this?"

"The emperor doesn't care how much you are greedy, he cares more about how many things you have done. An honest official who cannot get things done will never be promoted in his life. At most, it is just a brand used by the emperor to decorate his appearance. Of course, corrupt officials who can get things done will be reused. After all, wanting his head is just a matter of the emperor’s nod.”

Although the Dingshui County Magistrate said in his own defense that Li Chengqi had also explained Yang Yiyi, but when someone from the court said this truth, Yang Yiyi still felt that her views were impacted.

"If Miss Yang is not satisfied, I can send people to beat them, but this is the truth after all. In my opinion, the Plum Blossom Guards, there are not many clean people in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, but we did not arrest them because of their greed. If it does not pose a threat to the emperor and the country, this is within the scope of corruption. Of course, if the Dingshui County magistrate colludes with the robbers in Yurou Township, the nature will be different. "

After saying this, Sun Wei said hello and disappeared behind the Moon Gate of Taohuawu.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Yang Yiyi's world view still cannot accept what gray is.

After all, once the concepts of good guys and bad guys are confused, the image of the hero in the heart will also become blurred.

But the fact that Yang Yiyi is very obedient is indeed an advantage.

As soon as my mind became confused, I immediately remembered what Li Chengqi said.

They are who they are and you are you, no matter what others say.

The fact that she wants to be a hero has never changed from beginning to end. With this thought, Yang Yiyi is no longer entangled.

She didn't hesitate, it was Li Chengqi's turn to have a headache.

Good guy, you are really looking for trouble for yourself. It's none of your business. Why are you so excited to join us in a fight?

This can be regarded as Yang Yiyi's standard operation. All heroes like to meddle in other people's business.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.

Martial arts is like sailing against the current if you don't advance or retreat. If you don't fight with others for a long time, you will inevitably get rusty. Looking at the attributes of Xing Mukai, only the attributes of muscles and bones are pretty good, and the others are quite average. Compared with muscles and bones, Yang Yiyi is not panic at all.

Just think of it as a practice match.

In addition, it is indeed beneficial to sell a favor to Xing Muqing. Not to mention that Wu Shaoyi's leg still needs treatment. No one can guarantee that he will not need a doctor in the future. Many friends have many paths. Li Chengqi originally agreed to Yang Yiyi to help deliver the letter. I just want to let her get to know a few more heads. In the future, it will be convenient for her to have a wide network of contacts. If there is an opportunity to sell favors, it is not impossible.

But then again, Sun Wei suddenly ran to Taohuawu, and it didn't feel as simple as he said.

It was a bit of a waste of talent for a spy chief to do this, and there might be other things.

So Li Chengxi asked Yang Yiyi to pay more attention to Sun Wei and not to agree to everything. It was unknown what this grandson was up to. If she rashly got herself involved in some conspiracy, it would be troublesome.

Yang Yiyi naturally agreed, but I don’t know if she really understood...

The two of them spent the night in Taohuawu that day. Sun Wei came twice and discussed the details.

When it was dawn the next morning, everyone washed and prepared and ran to the open space by the lake to wait.

Xing Muqing seemed a little uneasy. On the one hand, he might not be confident in Yang Yiyi’s ability, and on the other hand, he might feel that it was really embarrassing to let someone play for him.

The whole person standing there looked very entangled.

But Yang Yiyi herself was very heartless, hiding in the crowd and eating sugar-coated biscuits. She got up too early and hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. How could she have the energy if she didn’t eat enough?

Xing Muqing didn't have to wait too long. At about noon, two small boats approached the shore one after the other.

One of the boats was full of constables. This boat docked first. The constables, dressed neatly and equipped with swords, lined up one after another. That meant that we, the government, were watching this competition. The winners and losers should not cheat.

Sun Wei was also among the constables. He didn't come up to say hello and pretended not to know them.

A subordinate brought him a chair very attentively. Sun Wei sat on the chair and waited for the start without any hesitation.

The second boat to dock was naturally Xing Mukai's boat. He was also the first to jump off the boat.

Looking at the scene on the shore, his already tanned face looked even darker...
