We had discovered the connection between the Xu family and the underground palace as early as the assassination of Xu Changsheng. Although we did not know at that time that the King of Dragons was preparing to escape from the underground palace, we had somewhat guessed that the Xu family He has certain connections with certain people in the underground palace.
Later, I learned that the King of Ten Thousand Dragons has a close relationship with one of the four major families. I even suspected that this family was the Xu family. It wasn’t until the Chen family came to light that I realized who the King of Ten Thousand Dragons really was. It was the Chen family who colluded.
So now the question becomes, why do the Xu family frequently go in and out of the underground palace? Which characters in the underground palace are the Xu family connected to?
I listened quietly, because at this time Poison Peony spoke again.
There was a hint of provocation in her arrogant tone that was fascinating. She said slowly: "But the clan leader is now the leading candidate, right? You have to know that any famous ghost in the underground palace can be raped. It is recorded in the records of the Ministry, and outside this underground palace...except for the clan leader, no one dares to say that his ability is superior to him."
"Well, I understand this, and I'm not dissatisfied with him, but the scope of this matter is too large. If it is not handled well, it will be an irreversible result. But if it is played well, then your Xu family But it's not just the largest family outside the underground palace..." the old voice said with a sinister smile.
Poison Peony lowered her eyebrows and said, "I know."
"Well, it's good to know. There are many elites in your Xu family. You can't always carry that person's sedan chair, right?" The old voice said slowly, with a hint of coldness in his tone. Who exactly is "that person" in his mouth? I already know who it is, more or less, because I once heard Rujun say that the reason why the four major families became the four major families was precisely because they carried the sedan chair for someone.
And the person sitting in this sedan chair is naturally the master of this Dragon Locking City...
Is it possible that the Xu family and this old guy they are talking to are actually plotting to get rid of the current master of the entire Suolong City? In that case, doesn’t the Xu family have the same purpose as the King of Dragons?
But thinking about it again, I noticed something different. The King of Ten Thousand Dragons wants to overthrow the current master and take the throne himself. But listening to the conspiracy between the Xu family and this old guy, it seems that he is preparing to overthrow the current master and then support him. The patriarch of the Xu family came to power.
After thinking about it, I think the most pitiable thing is the current ruler of Suolong City. This guy really can't sleep well. There are actually two groups of people, both inside and outside, who are preparing to pull him down from the seat known as the "Ghost King's Chair". This guy has been miserable.
Du Mudan's words became less and less. I vaguely felt that they might be coming out, so I quickly tugged on Lao Xie's clothes and said, "It's time to go."
Lao Xie and Little Tutu were confused after what they heard. They obviously didn't understand what problem Poison Peony and the others were talking about. I pulled them and had no choice but to follow me outside.
We walked on tiptoe along the way, fearing that we would be caught by the evil ghosts of the Xu family. Before we left the boundary of the office, we saw another guard team braving the cold light walking through the tunnel in front of us.
If it weren't for the three of us hiding in a relatively secluded location, we would have almost been caught.
After finally waiting for these guards to leave, I asked in a low voice: "Lao Xie, how many departments are there in this underground palace? Why do you feel that it is so complicated here, even more complicated than the outside society?"
When Lao Xie heard that I wanted to ask him for advice again, he immediately showed off his old scholar style and said with a smile: "Okay, since you asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy, what is inside this underground palace?"
Ah, in fact, the highest ruler is the person sitting on the Ghost King's chair. There are three departments under him. The office we went to before is one of them. It is mainly responsible for the logistics work of the entire underground palace, as well as the writing of red-headed documents.
Fa, these contents...do you understand?"
I nodded and said, "I understand."
Lao Xie pointed to his clothes and continued: "The second one is our inspection office. It is mainly responsible for supervising the operation of all departments and is responsible for supervision, so you should understand how awesome the clothes I borrowed are.
Bar?"
I nodded again. Since the Inspection Office is responsible for supervision, no matter how high the level of each department is, they will not dare to make mistakes in front of the Inspection Office. Otherwise, the Inspection Office will get involved with the person sitting on the Ghost King's chair.
Even if this department has extraordinary abilities, it will only fail.
"What about the third one?" I asked quickly.
"The third one is much more complicated and important. The third one is called the Decision-making Office, which is the highest decision-making body in the underground palace. All management and decision-making are discussed by this department, except for the Inspection Office, which can supervise
Besides, this department has the highest authority... No one dares to offend." Lao Xie spoke clearly and logically, and he explained the entire administrative situation in the underground palace thoroughly and clearly, which really impressed me.
After talking about these three departments, Lao Xie continued to add: "By the way, there are six more departments under these three departments, which are almost similar to the six departments of the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that this underground palace is indeed a product of the Ming Dynasty. I don't need to talk nonsense about these six departments.
Alright?"
I nodded: "The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment. The system of three provinces and six ministries is very famous in our history. I didn't expect that this underground palace is also managed in this way. It seems to be very orderly."
"Yes, I am very good at history. Although I know what these six departments do specifically, I don't know their names... Well, so, the system in this underground palace is still complex, with a fine division of labor and related departments.
This day's prison belongs to the Ministry of Punishment. I want to get in. If I don't steal the clothes from the Inspection Bureau, even if I steal the clothes from the Policy Bureau, I may not be able to sneak in successfully." Lao Xie said with a frown.
I quickly said: "I really want to thank you this time." After that, I quickly nodded towards Little Bunny and said, "Thank you too, Little Bunny."
As we talked and walked, we soon arrived at the subway platform inside the underground palace. Lao Xie and Little Tutu stood still. Lao Xie said: "Go out quickly. The reinforcements haven't caught up yet, but they will wait until you arrive."
Outside, you must be more careful and be wary of people in the underground palace trying to catch you again."
I thought about Mr. Ma who arrested me into the underground palace that day, and the two weirdos in black and white suits, and I felt a little frightened. I nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Lao Xie, I will be more careful. But it's you,
Will the people in the underground palace know that you kidnapped me from the heavenly prison, and are they looking for you everywhere?"
Lao Xie smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Xie has his own place to go. When I return these clothes to the girl in the laundry room, I will immediately drive away in my Xiali... Then we will meet again
connect."
I nodded quickly and said, "Then you have to take care."
Lao Xie nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."
Little Tutu saw that I was leaving and said quickly: "Remember to bring me candy!"
I nodded quickly: "Don't worry, little Tutu, you can't get out of this underground palace, and I don't want to come in again. I'll let Brother Xie convey it to me then, okay?"
Little Tutu nodded and said: "Okay, remember to buy more chocolate. I love chocolate the most, um... I want white chocolate!"
I smiled and said, "Okay, tasteful, I'll note it down."
Lao Xie turned his head and looked behind him, and after making sure that there were no pursuers, he said: "Let's go quickly, so as not to have a long night and a lot of dreams."
I nodded quickly, whispered to take care, and quickly boarded a stopped subway and headed outside the underground palace. According to what Lao Xie said, Rujun and the others were waiting for me outside the entire Line 2 station.
, Xu Changsheng came out from here last time, so they are very familiar with this place.
The seven-day jail life has finally come to an end. I wonder if Rujun outside is already impatient, and are Lao Mao and Da Huang already going crazy?
But fortunately, we are about to meet again, and I hope there will be no surprises along the way.
I slowly walked towards the middle of the subway car. There weren’t many stops on this trip, so I didn’t want to sit down. However, before I could stand firm, a familiar figure suddenly came into view...
