Chapter 2331: Cut Him Off in Person
Xu Yi said, "Have you found out?"
The man said, "I found some clues. Tao Jingshan is the leader of Jeju who has arrived in the past few days. With the signs of Biyou Academy and Old Tao Mansion, he has been making friends with officials everywhere these days, and he seems to be a well-known official."
Xu Yi said, "Why is he paying attention to Mingli Ding? Is he really going to visit Mingli Ding? Has he deliberately contacted other people in Fanyang Mansion?"
The person said, "In several gatherings, he did mention Ming Li Ding and expressed his admiration. From this point of view, he is indeed suspected of setting up information. But there is one thing that I can't figure out. Since he wants to find out the information about Li Ding, Why bother to search in Zhongshan Mansion? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Fanyang Mansion to search? Taking a step back, if he really wanted to visit Mingli Ding, there was no need to search for information. He could just visit directly. In the contact, wouldn't it be better? Grasping people's temperament? If it is as he said, Ming Liding is his father's confidant, the relationship between the two families should be so good that there is no need to worry about these small details. Tao Jingshan's attitude seems to want to explore Ming Liding Ding, and wanting to guard against the Ming Li Ding is extremely weird."
Xu Yi said, "What's going on over there at Sanyang Mountain? Will Ming Li Ding be in Fanyang Mansion these days?"
The man said, "There is no movement in Sanyang Mountain. There is no one around. Ming..."
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Sanyang Mountain is deserted?"
Xu Yi asked in surprise, "Isn't Sanyang Mountain the location of Fanyang Mansion's official office? How come it's completely deserted?"
The man said, "You don't know something, sir. The war in Fanyang Mansion was only settled at the beginning of this year. After Ming Liding officially took office as the governor, he abandoned Sanyang Mountain on the grounds that it was invaded by thieves and was in dilapidated condition, and his spiritual veins were destroyed." , another Lingshan Mountain was found to build a new Fuling Yamen. The original Fanyang Fuling Yamen, Sanyang Mountain, was taken over by the Inner Court Department, and is going to be auctioned and rented out, probably at the beginning of next month, which is also customary. "
Xu Yi didn't say anything for a long time, and the man didn't dare to remind him, until a strong wind caused the bamboo bushes to sway. Xu Yi said, "I know, thank you for the hard work. You can go ahead. If you have a chance to come to the headquarters in the future, you can come to me."
The man was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he responded repeatedly. Finally, he said, "May I ask, sir, what should I do with Guan Quan, Leng Qianli, and Niu Dagang?"
As soon as this question came out, the identity of the man was obvious, it was Shi Guozheng.
Xu Yi's voice suddenly turned cold, "It's up to you."
Shi Guozheng suddenly became frightened and wished he could slap himself to death. He had to ask such a question, so he quickly answered and disappeared in a flash.
After Shi Guozheng left, Xu Yi took out a piece of white paper and a charcoal pen, and wrote on the paper in order: Tao Jingshan, Ming Li Ding, Sanyang Mountain, and Auction.
He stared at these words for a long time, and suddenly added another word: Laofu Ling's legacy.
With a flick of his eye, he connected the previous words with the old man's treasure. Suddenly, the doubts floating in his mind were instantly dissipated.
He finally understood why Tao Jingshan only inquired about Ming Li Ding in Zhongshan Mansion. He did not want the news of his appearance to reach Ming Li Ding's ears, so as not to arouse Ming Li Ding's vigilance.
At the same time, why did Ming Li Ding leave the good Sanyang Mountain and build another government office? The root cause is probably not that Sanyang Mountain is damaged at all, but that the government office was moved away and Sanyang Mountain became an isolated mountain. Without so many eyes, it would be easier for him to find the treasure left by Laofu Ling.
All causes and effects are all left behind by the old man.
At this thought, Xu Yi suddenly felt that it was a tricky situation. With him, three groups of people were eyeing him, and it might not be easy to get the treasure smoothly.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Yi finally found some clues and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Yi rushed to Dongliu Immortal City, which was three thousand miles away.
Dongliu Immortal City is less than half the size of Zhongxiang Immortal City, but its prosperity is no less prosperous, and there are also many powerful yamen distributed around it.
Among them, the inner court department set up its office here.
Xu Yi came here to inquire about the mountain auction in Fanyang Mansion.
He came just in time. Today is the last day to receive the auction license plate and pay the deposit. The auction will be held the day after tomorrow when the license is applied for.
Xu Yi paid a deposit of ten wishing beads, received a number plate with the number seventy-three, and came out of the inner court office.
He just walked out when he heard a message saying, "Why, I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be interested in these wild mountains. The chief of staff of the dignified elder and the supervisor of the secret guard would not even want to rent a spiritual mountain." Come on, don’t make people laugh if you spread the news.”
Xu Yi followed the sound and saw Tao Jingshan standing against the window in the second-floor tearoom of an antique-decorated teahouse diagonally opposite, looking at him with a smile.
Xu Yi smiled slightly and said to himself, "It's true that enemies never get together. I was worried about how to find you, but you came to me yourself."
After entering the teahouse, Tao Jingshan invited Xu Yi to sit on a light yellow couch, closed the door and window with his hand, took out the Ruyi Pearl to activate the restriction, isolating the inside and outside, and said, "Brother Xu's appearance really surprised me. A mountain peak can only be rented for more than a hundred wish beads per year, so how can it be worthy of Brother Xu’s status? Those who come here to participate in the auction are either brokers or want to pick up leaked oil. I really don’t understand why Brother Xu comes here to meddle with it. and."
Xu Yi picked up the tea, drank it all in one gulp, and shook the cup at Tao Jingshan, signaling him to fill it up with tea.
Tao Jingshan frowned slightly. After filling up the tea, Xu Yi smiled and said, "If the second person asks me, I won't tell you. That is to say, Brother Tao, you were born in a noble family and are now a student of Biyou Academy. I'm not afraid either." I'll tell you clearly when you did something like this. When I was a soldier in Fanyang Mansion, I once heard someone say that there is a treasure buried in Sanyang Mountain...Brother Tao, Brother Tao, you What's wrong?"
"Ah! I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just a treasure. It's just hearsay. Brother Xu must not waste the wishing pearl in vain because of these rumors."
Tao Jingshan tried to persuade him calmly, but his heart was actually boiling.
He never expected that Xu Yi and his horse would also be eyeing Sanyang Mountain.
Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "Brother Tao is right. At first, I really thought it was a rumor, but now I don't think so. I have two major pieces of evidence."
"Evidence, two more?"
Tao Jingshan's eyes widened.
Xu Yi picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said to Tao Jingshan, "Thank you Brother Tao for the tea. It's just that the taste is bland and I can't get used to it. I'd better take my leave now without disturbing you."
Tao Jingshan grabbed Xu Yi, and a small crystal clear purple jar appeared in his palm. He changed to a tea set, pinched out a thin handful of green tea leaves from the small purple jar, and put it on the small stove to cook. After cooking it, an astonishing fragrance filled the air. "It's been so many years. This little inventory has been brought to Brother Xu's fault. It's time for me to lose money. Brother Xu, it's not appropriate to sell things at this time, isn't it?" .”
He was listening with excitement, wondering how he was willing to let Xu Yi leave.
