Feng Qi, Zhang Kui and others came later. They had many doubts as they had never experienced it before.
Xia Shang had gradually calmed down, and his eyes stayed on the pile of accessories on the ground.
"Pack these things and take them back."
After leaving a message, Xia Shang went down the mountain alone.
Everything today made Xia Shang feel very complicated. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with himself. The more he tried to act tough, the greater the resistance and backlash he received.
After all, people in every era are not simple.
Even if Xia Shang came from a different world and wanted to stand proudly on top of the world, such a dream was still far away.
Not to mention the world's best master who still doesn't know the details, Liao Baican alone put Xia Shang in a league.
This Liao Baican is not simple. He may have used the best in the world to get rid of the strong men around Xia Shang.
Perhaps he had already expected that this mountain collapse would not pose a fatal threat to Xia Shang, but it would definitely cause a master around Xia Shang to burst out with all his strength, thus attracting the attention of the mysterious masters in the capital.
Perhaps this kind of thinking is because Xia Shang is complicating things, but all the things he encounters today force Xia Shang to complicate things and make his enemies more cunning.
Liao Baishen wanted to kill Xia and Shang all at once, and his cruelty was far greater than that of Jin Niang of Chunfang Division.
Xia Shang wrote down this account.
Returning to Beijing, Xia Shang rented a courtyard near his home, which was the temporary office base of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at that time.
Although Xia Shang had no official affairs, the Iron Arm Department, Lingxiu Department, and State Education Department all had some daily affairs to deal with.
Before the Xia and Shang Dynasties did not appear, the twelve divisions were doing their own thing, and no one knew what they were doing behind the scenes.
Now that the Xia and Shang Dynasties have appeared, the Twelve Divisions are about to be consolidated. These leaders do not want to offend the court, but they also do not want the court to know some of the shady things they have done, so they have a lot of official business, especially in recent days.
A temporary foothold is helpful for the normal operation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. At least one institution has been started normally.
Although Xia and Shang paid for all these expenses out of their own pockets, this could be regarded as cultivating power for themselves under the banner of the imperial court.
In the long run, it will also be beneficial.
The rented courtyard is only two streets away from Xia Shang's house, so it is relatively convenient to travel there.
After hearing the news, Yazhi sent Xia Shang a brand new fox fur cloak.
Xia Shang was not short of clothes, but Yazhi just found an excuse to come and have a look, and at the same time get rid of another woman in the family.
From Yazhi's point of view, she and her master were not close friends, but they had known each other day and night two years ago, and they had been together for a long time. Why were they so unfamiliar when they came to the capital, and they didn't have time to talk privately.
Sitting on the carriage, Yazhi opened the curtain and looked at the courtyard not far ahead.
The person riding in the same car was the little maid Yazhi bought in the capital and became her personal maid.
It is estimated that only Xia Shang's family can do such a weird thing as bringing a maid with a personal maid.
When setting off today, Yazhi told Xia Shang that Xia Shang had no objection. Unexpectedly, Yazhi took care of the matter immediately.
Xia Shang knew her little thoughts, and so did everyone else around her.
Yazhi wanted to raise her own identity. What she represented came from the face of the Su, Hang, and Xia families. She always had to show off her face to the women that the master later wanted to court in the capital. She could not weaken the relationship between primary and secondary.
Little women always have their own world, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Xia Shang was also happy that this girl was thinking about petty issues of jealousy all day long. He didn't want the women around him to be coquettish and worry about other things for him. It would be tiring to live like that.
In the car, the new maid was still a little cramped. She was quite pink, with goose-egg white cheeks and watery eyes, but there was a kind of melancholy and fear in her eyebrows that she had just entered a wealthy family. Even if she was in front of her,
The master comforted me in every possible way, but this fear was still lingering.
"The master is on duty here, so he can be regarded as the leader here. When the women at home come to visit and say a few words, no one will disturb them, right? If there is someone who is ignorant and disturbs me, Xiaoman, just watch it.
Take a good look at his appearance and don't forget it. If you have the opportunity to say a few words to the master in the future, his official career will be cut off."
The little maid next to her lowered her head and nodded.
The car stopped, and Yazhi got out of the car with her fox fur cloak in her arms. She called out to the people who were still cleaning the door: "Hey, you two."
The two people in front of the door turned around with a sinister aura. They were obviously not servants of an ordinary family or ordinary officials.
Yazhi was startled by the momentum of the two of them, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"This place has been rented and has a new owner. Let's find the old one somewhere else."
"I...I'm just looking for the new owner, the adults here."
"There are so many adults here, who are you looking for?"
"Xia Shang."
"Lord Xia Shang? Who are you?"
"I am Mr. Xia's family member. I got the news that he rented a new office here, so I sent some things over to have a look."
"You are a member of Lord Xia Shang's family..."
The two people at the door were startled. The previous intimidating aura disappeared instantly, and they were replaced with enthusiastic smiling faces. They looked at Yazhi up and down several times.
"The girl is so beautiful, she must be the wife that Mr. Xia brought from Jiangnan, right?"
Yazhi smiled but did not answer: "Can you please inform me."
The two of them winked, and one of them went inside, while the other smiled and talked to Yazhi: "We have heard long ago that Mr. Xia's wife in Jiangnan is good-looking. We didn't expect that when we saw her today, she was more than good-looking. It was simply shocking.
For the gods!"
This man has a rough appearance and is not unfamiliar with flattering remarks.
Yazhi felt relieved after hearing this, thinking that such a vicious-looking person would be so flattering in front of her, which satisfied her vanity.
At this time, he did not forget to say to the little maid next to him: "Did you see? Our family is not only a wealthy family, but also a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Everyone in the capital has to look down upon us."
After saying a few words, the person who went in before came out and brought a message: "Girl, Mr. Xia is discussing important matters with several other adults. Please come with me."
"Why are you so anxious about something important? You can't even meet him once?" Yazhi muttered, and could only follow him to the living room in the courtyard.
There are still many places that need to be cleaned up in the courtyard, and the people from the Iron Arm Division are responsible for taking care of them.
In the hall that had been cleared, there was a huge speaker's table with a lot of iron accessories scattered on it. The people sitting around the table all frowned and no one spoke.
Could it be that this pile of scrap metal is the best answer in the world?
Obviously impossible!
But there has to be a reasonable explanation.
It is estimated that the few people here are the only ones in this world who can reach the edge of being the best in the world.
If the secret of being number one in the world can be unlocked, it may be helpful to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future. (To be continued)
