The next day, Shi Heng came back from court, and Wu Xi went to see him immediately.

If it were normal, Shi Heng would have only continued to balance the two of them after hearing Wu Xi’s complaint.

After all, the two of them were his subordinates. In his control, some disagreements did not affect the daily life of the Marquis of Wuqing's Mansion. Therefore, Shi Heng has always only comforted the two and restricted their internal struggle to a very small range.

But today is different.

Because Shi Heng was in charge of the Beijing camp, he fought against the Ola many times and won great achievements. He was deeply trusted by Emperor Jingtai and Yu Qian, the Minister of War. So he gradually became a little domineering and often took his confidant to the palace to ask the emperor for official positions.

Emperor Jingtai was relatively young, but Yu Qian was noble in character. He disdained his various assignments and scolded him sternly. He arranged for someone to impeach him this morning. If he hadn't made too much contribution, he was also loyal to the court. The cabinet still needed such a general to maintain the situation, but I was afraid that he would be dismissed today.

Although he escaped, he was still covered in dust and felt extremely unhappy.

At this time, after hearing Wu Xi's complaint, he was even more upset and angry.

The court was already covered in dust. Unexpectedly, he was not at ease when he returned to the mansion. Even his confidant butler bit his tongue behind him. If the servants in the mansion knew about his past, how would he think of him? What could he do?

Wu Xi is naturally no exception if he can become a confidant in the Marquis' Mansion of Wuqing.

He looked at Shi Heng's face and saw that his eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and said:

"Since he will go to the chef to say it, he will also say it in front of others. He said it today and will say it tomorrow. I think he must be removed as soon as possible!"

Shi Heng said angrily: "It's all nonsense. Shi Zhongjian has been by my side since he was a child. Although he can't compare with you, he is not as trusted as you, but he has done many things for me. He is a hero. How could I bear to make up a few lies for him and then impose such a heavy punishment after he got drunk!"

Wu Xixin said: "Mr. Marquis, you are playing with me. It is true that Shi Zhongjian is drunk, but that sentence is a 'lie' made up for you? I said I was "nonsense" and said that I was wrong to say 'besides him'. I was obviously pretending to be a good person, and I also gave me two nice words, such as 'great contribution' and 'trusted'..., 'great contribution', why don't you let me be an official? I'm trusted? Why do you tell him something better?"

Wu Xi thought so in his heart, but said, "The Marquis is magnanimous, but I'm afraid he can't change Shi Zhongjian at all. Last time he knocked on the door of the Widow Ma in the name of the Marquis, and the Marquis spared him. But what happened to him this time? He actually talked nonsense to the chef hired outside. If the chef goes home and spreads it, wouldn't the Marquis' reputation be ruined? You made great achievements in this battle to defend the capital, and the patrol Datong defeated the Oirat again. The name of the God of War who is famous all over the world and is so powerful that he will be defiled for nothing! I simply went to his room tonight and killed his life to avoid another trouble."

Shi Heng was angry and slapped the table angrily: "Bold! If you dare to kill someone with a knife, I will send you to Shuntian Mansion to pay your life! This is no more than a fight and accidentally hurting someone's life. There are many elderly people in the mansion. If you ask me what to explain, why don't you retreat quickly!"

Wu Xi was timid and retreated outside. He felt a chill in his heart. He touched his forehead and sweat had already come out.

People say "Accompanying the king is like a tiger". I, Wu Xi, is just a swordsman, and I can't be a general, so I can only be a guardian. I don't have the blessing to accompany the king. I don't know if what I said is right.

But it would be good to say that being with our marquis is like being with a tiger.

It is certainly not good for Shi Zhongjian, but for many years, why do you have to kill him to silence him at once? If you want to kill someone and silence him, you don’t tell me, but you have to wait for me to tell me first. When I say it, you either ask me to kill or not, which is considered to be clear.

But now, it seems that I don’t let me kill, but it also means I can’t kill with a knife. If it’s a “quarrel” and “inadvertently” life, it doesn’t matter.

After hearing this, I pretended not to understand. If I don’t kill Shi Zhongjian, the Marquis would definitely find a way to deal with me and make a fortune in the future. Don’t think about Guangzong and Yaozu, just because I am afraid that my life will be difficult to protect.

But if I kill Shi Zhongjian, he never explicitly told me to kill. The Taoist priest said that he "sent to the government to pay his life" and that life is at the hands of the emperor. If Shuntian Mansion really investigates it, he will certainly not have to take care of it.

By then, I couldn't tell it all over.

If the Marquis has a deeper meaning and wants to use this to kill two birds with one stone and remove me at will, wouldn’t I kill myself?

Thinking of this, Wu Xi couldn't help but sigh.

He said he was "Wu Sandao" in the world, and some people said he was "similar to Zhuge". He was once complacent and thought he was extremely smart, but compared with the Marquis, he was not even worthy of carrying shoes with him.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Xi finally made up his mind and decided to get rid of Shi Zhongjian. After all, "wealth and wealth are in danger"!

When it was time to light the lamp, Shi Zhongjian pointed at the mansion again. When he insulted a servant, Wu Xi spoke coldly and specifically chose the most harshest words. Shi Zhongjian naturally refused to accept them, and he also picked a few of the most unpleasant words to respond. When Wu Xi heard this, he was furious and jumped up. He hit Shi Zhongjian's temple with a punch, knocking him to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose. When the servants lifted their housekeeper to the bed, they looked at him again, and they were already completely breathless and their bodies were cold.

Shi Heng ordered his family to report the matter to the government. He wrote another short letter attached, saying that the family members accidentally injured their lives due to quarrels. He will naturally punish the family members who accidentally injured others. This matter was settled.

Two days later, when he learned that Wu Xi's mother was sick, Shi Heng summoned Wu Xi and said, "I heard that your mother is sick. You can go back and see. There are a few ingots of gold here. You can take it back and fulfill your filial piety. I have nothing to do here, only one thing. I have some concerns about the cook Xu Yong. If you do it properly, you can leave here one or two days in advance. The government will investigate it and will never doubt you."

Wu Xi was overjoyed when he heard this and knew that the Marquis treated him as his real confidant.

Shi Heng has always been vigorously promoting his confidant, so the entire capital camp is full of General Shi's followers. If Shi Zhongjian was not trampled on his mind, he might be able to earn an empty salary in the Beijing camp.

So Wu Xi also felt that he had made great achievements and was just in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Marquis, you can do it properly. I, Wu Xi, can't repay the Marquis' grace of knowing each other."

Shi Heng smiled faintly: "I won't let you 'hearted', otherwise, who will I rely on in the future, the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion?"

A sentence made Wu Xi almost burst into tears, and he walked out with a heavy bag in his hands.

Xu Yong returned home every two days, and he was actually a timid and afraid of trouble. Besides, Shi Heng was a powerful general in the capital, the Jinyiwei and Shuntian Mansion were all very respectful to him. Xu Yong had the courage to disturb the general's right and wrong.

What's more, he was still a heartless person. He really thought that Wu Xi killed Shi Zhongjian because he accidentally injured him. Therefore, whenever he saw Wu Xi, he would curl his lips and turn his head away.

Wu Xi naturally would not have the same knowledge as a dying person, but he did not know the situation at Xu Yong's family, but this would not prevent him.

As a "Sai Zhuge" who has been through the world, Wu Sandao is very proficient in some methods of the world and quickly investigated the situation at Xu Yong's family.

After everything was investigated clearly, at dawn the next day, Wu Xi told everyone that his mother was seriously ill and wanted to go back and look after it. He said goodbye to everyone, carried a small bag and left the Marquis of Wuqing. Everyone had already heard that his mother was sick, so naturally no surprise.

Wu Xi went outside the city and found a small shop to stay. The next night, he changed his outfits. At the third update, he sneaked into Xu's house with a knife and killed him all over the house, creating a sensational murder case.

Originally, Wu Xi investigated, and the whole Xu family was there that night, but he didn't think of a coincidence: Xu Yong's mother-in-law missed her granddaughter that day, and sent someone to her son-in-law's house during the day to take the eight-year-old Xu Ting to his home. Wu Xi counted the body and disappeared. It was found that it was an eight-year-old girl. He just smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.
