"On your side? Do you want me to be the hawk of the Metropolitan Procuratorate again? Go back to such a dark life?" Yu Ji frowned deeply, her breathing was low, and she had a faint seizure.
"You may have misunderstood me. Standing with me does not mean returning to the Imperial Prosecutor's Office. To be honest, who is really sure that he will be the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"What do you mean? I have received news that the emperor has recognized you and asked people to investigate the cause of Lu Xun's death."
"I have met the emperor, but it was just a one-time encounter. And the thoughts of the superior are not as simple as you think. On the surface, the emperor praised me and encouraged me to do my best. But what did he actually give me? Did he receive any support?
?Not at all. In the emperor's heart, I am a fighter in the duel. He is a high-ranking spectator. He may really value me. But if I die by mistake, he will not be sad, and will only quickly cultivate a new fighter.
Come out. It's that simple.
As the emperor, he has no burden. He can abandon me at any time. In this status, what is the practical significance of my position as the leader? I am just a guinea pig. The emperor wants to see what I can do.
But I have no choice, because I need the status of the Chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, at least to prove that I am legitimate and approved by the emperor."
"You said so much, what exactly do you want to express?"
"I want to tell you that my loyalty to the emperor is not as high as you think. So don't think that following me means following the court. Of course, I will not do anything against the court, as that would be a rebellion. In fact, we are the same
Human being, you don’t admit that you are an independent sect, but you are entangled with the independent sect. I don’t want to admit that you are an old sect, but you are inseparable from the imperial court. Of course, this state is only temporary. Wait until I have full wings.
At that time, I hoped that I could turn the Metropolitan Procuratorate into what I thought it would be."
"What should the Metropolitan Procuratorate look like in your mind?"
Xia Shang smiled: "I have learned about some files, and I remember that the first Chancellor once said, 'We, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, want to dye our own hands black and let the people of the world live a cleaner life.' Maybe this is what I have in mind.
This is what the Procuratorate should be like."
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hahaha... Just from this alone, I know that you are indeed a young child. For the people of the world? Haha... What a joke. This is just the procuratorate looking for you to do evil for yourself.
That's an excuse. There are so many jokes like this in the world, which organization is not bragging and deceiving under the banner of serving the people of the world? The White Clothes Sect, the Red Flower Society, and even the major Jianghu sects, which one is not a hypocrite?"
"Don't overgeneralize. I believe that there are always people who keep their true intentions in this world. For example, if you are not lying when you say that you hope to spend the rest of your life to forgive your sins, then aren't you that kind of person? Even if the world is really degenerate.
There is no cure, and I also hope that someone can stand up. I can't guarantee how others will do, so I can only let myself stand up."
Yu Ji restrained her smile because she saw Xia Shang's seriousness at this moment. Xia Shang at this moment was completely different from before. In the dark room, the deep voice made this young boy look deeper and deeper. It seemed that there was someone who was not of his age.
The soul is at work.
Soon, Xia Shang retracted his thoughts and smiled at his previous words: "Of course, those are all empty words. In fact, everyone is selfish, and I am no exception. At least the world doesn't need me now. What I have done is
Everything is just increasing my right to speak. If you join, it should be a big help to me. And for you, I can help you break away from the independence faction and live more freely."
"Leave the independence faction..." Yu Ji's heart tightened, and the expectant look in her eyes showed how tempting Xia Shang's conditions were to her.
but……
With such a small cabinet and such a plan, can he really do it?
"You have no choice. The only one who can give you real freedom is me. Maybe I'm still a little bit behind now, but..."
"Needless to say, I can try with you. If it fails, it doesn't matter if I die. I hope you can protect my family of brothers and sisters who have followed me for many years."
After hearing what Yu Ji said, Xia Shang breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no certainty at all in trying to persuade him today. If it fails, although there are options, it cannot guarantee the safety of those captured by Yu Ji.
After saying this, Xia Shang stood up and clapped his hands.
The closed door finally opened, and a ray of warm and clear sunlight penetrated into the room.
Outside the house, Liu Ruyan smiled at Xia Shang.
Seeing Ruyan, Xia Shang frowned and walked out quickly to grab Liu Ruyan's hand: "Why is it you? Where is the old servant of Hero Manor?"
"I am also strong..."
"What did you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything..." Ruyan frowned pitifully, "Husband, you hurt me."
"That's good."
Xia Shang's brows did not relax, but he relaxed his hand but still had some doubts.
The relationship between Liu Ruyan and the Honghua Society is unclear. Xia Shang has been deliberately concealing his multiple identities. If Liu Ruyan finds out that he is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate... I wonder what trouble will happen?
At this time, Yu Ji also came out of the room, saw Liu Ruyan, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this the young master's concubine?"
"Exactly."
"I've met her once or twice. She's an extremely smart girl with an electric mind." After he finished speaking, he muttered in a low voice, "It's extraordinary that she was able to escape."
Xia Shang was in a bad mood and looked at Ruyan: "I will send Yu Ji back, please don't wander around here."
Ruyan knew she had made a mistake and said "oh" in a submissive manner.
After Ruyan left, Yu Ji looked back at the house she was in, and she couldn't help but be horrified. Who had lived here?
"Young Master, there is no need to send you off. Take me back to Baozhilin and I will personally send you all back. At that time, the Young Master will make plans for the next step."
Xia Shang thought about it and decided that there was no need to take this trip.
Xia Shang is still relieved about Yu Ji. Because she is no longer as cruel as before, and her long secular life has made her regress a lot. She does not want to cause trouble, otherwise things will not progress to this point.
So Xia Shang brought him to the door and said goodbye.
At this time, a car came back from outside, and several newly hired servants opened the curtain of the car and took out a person from inside.
This person is none other than Xia Shang's third master, Lao Duwu Guangxie.
When Xia Shang saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Master."
Guang Xie still had the same vegetative posture, sitting cross-legged and needing to be carried no matter where he went. His hair covered his face, and he looked a little gloomy.
"People are gone?"
Xia Shang nodded: "Let's go."
"Then you follow me back to the house."
After a brief exchange, Xia Shang and Guang Xie returned to the previous room.
It seemed that there was still the smell of Yu Ji in the house, and Guang Xie's complexion changed a little after smelling it.
Among the masters, Master Guangxie was the most seriously injured and looked like a disabled person. Xia Shang was afraid of making a mistake and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Master, what is wrong with you?" (To be continued)
