Chapter 862: Scope of Acquiescence

The disappearance of Princess Rousi had never been made public. After all, the princess' disappearance was a loss of face for the royal family and the Plum Blossom Guard. How could such a shameful thing be announced casually?

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

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

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

After hearing this, Yang Yiyi remembered that she had left Qizhou for several months.

Princess Rousi is, after all, a princess of Yuezhou State. It is impossible for her to stay in a foreign country for a long time. After arranging her security, she immediately set off for home. She should be bored in the palace now.

"I'm actually very curious about why you are in Taohuawu."

She definitely couldn't tell anyone about helping Tianjue Palace deliver the letter. If Yang Yiyi told the lie alone, there would definitely be flaws, but there was still Wu Shaoyi.

"We two have traveled all the way here, without any purpose, just wandering around."

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

According to the intelligence from the Plum Blossom Guards, Yang Yiyi had been to southern Xinjiang and headed north after returning, and it was obvious that she had a purpose.

As for the specific purpose, Sun Wei didn't care much about it. It was the business of the underworld people, so let them do whatever they want.

"I see that Miss Yang's internal strength seems to be even more advanced. I just recommended her to Sect Leader Xing. If you don't want to help, you can just refuse."

"Not really. I just wanted to find someone to stretch my muscles. Besides, we also need help from Sect Leader Xing. It would be easier to get things done by doing a favor."

Sun Wei understood. After all, Wu Shaoyi was in a wheelchair, so he knew what the so-called asking for help meant.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Miss Yang. I'm going to go prepare for tomorrow's affairs."

Sun Wei was waiting here just to say hello, then he bowed and was about to leave.

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

"Oh? Lady Hero Yang is looking for a court lackey 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 the matter of him embezzling disaster relief grains..."

"My original mission as the Plum Blossom Guard was to monitor all civil and military officials. I know better than he does how many times the Dingshui County Magistrate has intervened."

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

Yang Yiyi is still upset about this matter.

Li Chengxi's advice did stop Yang Yiyi from being so obsessed with the issue, but that didn't mean she could forget about it. She still felt that one was one and two was two, and embezzlement was wrong, and no matter what the excuse was, the crime could not be covered up.

"Miss Yang is really kindhearted. Well, I'll be frank. The Dingshui County Magistrate is quite capable, and his greed is tolerated."

“Is there any tacit consent for this?”

"Yes, this category is being able to do things for the emperor."

"What is the reason for this?"

"The Emperor doesn't care how much you've corrupted. He cares more about how much you've done. An honest official who can't get things done will never be promoted in his life. At most, he'll just be a sign used by the Emperor to decorate his window. Corrupt officials who can get things done will of course be reused. After all, getting their heads is just a matter of the Emperor's nod." Although the Dingshui County Magistrate said this when he defended himself, and Li Chengxi also comforted Yang Yiyi, but hearing this truth from someone in the court still made Yang Yiyi feel that her three views were impacted.

"If Miss Yang is not satisfied, I can send someone to give them a warning, but this is the truth after all. In my opinion, there are few clean people in the court, but we did not arrest them because their greed does not pose a threat to the emperor and the country. This is greed within the permitted range. Of course, if the Dingshui County Magistrate colluded with bandits to bully the people, the nature of the matter would naturally be different."

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

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Yang Yiyi's worldview still cannot accept the concept of gray.

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

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

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

They are them and you are you, don't care what others say.

The desire to become a hero has never changed from the beginning to the end. Thinking of this, Yang Yiyi no longer felt conflicted.

She was not bothered, but it was Li Chengxi's turn to have a headache.

Good man, you really know how to make trouble for yourself. Why are you so excited to come over and fight when it's none of your business?

This is Yang Yiyi's standard operation. Heroes always like to meddle in other people's affairs.

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

The study of martial arts is like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward you will move backward. If you don't fight with others for a long time, you will inevitably become rusty. Looking at Xing Mukai's attribute values, only his tendons and bones attributes are decent, the others are quite average. Compared with tendons and bones, Yang Yiyi is not at all panicked.

Just treat it as a practice match.

Besides, it is indeed beneficial to do Xing Mucheng a favor. Not to mention that Wu Shaoyi's leg still needs treatment, no one can guarantee that they will not need a doctor in the future. More friends mean more ways. Originally, Li Chengxi agreed to let Yang Yiyi help deliver the letter because he wanted her to get to know more sect leaders. In the future, it would be convenient for her to go anywhere with a wider network of contacts. It is not impossible to have the opportunity to do favors.

But then again, Sun Wei's sudden trip to Taohuawu didn't seem as simple as he said.

It's a bit of a waste of talent for a spy chief to handle this matter. There might be other things he could do.

So Li Chengxi told Yang Yiyi to pay more attention to Sun Wei and not to agree to everything without hesitation, because there was no telling what this grandson was up to, and if she rashly involved herself 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 more to discuss some details.

The next morning, when it was just light, everyone washed up and got ready, and ran to the open space by the lake to wait.

Xing Mucheng seemed a little uneasy. On the one hand, he might be worried about Yang Yiyi's ability. On the other hand, he might feel that asking someone to play for him was really embarrassing.

The whole person standing there looked very conflicted.

But Yang Yiyi herself was very heartless, hiding in the crowd and eating a sugar-coated pancake. She got up too early and hadn't had breakfast yet. How could she have the energy if she didn't eat enough?
Xing Mucheng didn't have to wait too long. At about noon, two small boats approached the shore one after the other.

There were detectives all on one boat. This boat docked first, and the detectives, who were neatly dressed and fully equipped with swords, lined up one after another. Their meaning was that this competition was under the supervision of the government, and the winners and losers must not cheat.

Sun Wei was also among this group of detectives, but he didn't come up to say hello and pretended not to know them.

One of his subordinates diligently brought him a chair, and Sun Wei sat on the chair without any hesitation and waited for the meeting to begin.

The second ship to dock was naturally Xing Mukai's ship, and he was also the first to jump off the ship.

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