Xu Yi said, "Have you found out?"
The man said, "I found some clues. Tao Jingshan is Jizhou Territory who arrived in the past few days. Relying on the signs of the Biyou Academy and Old Prefect Tao, I have been making friends with officials everywhere these days, and I am like a well-known official."
Xu Yi said, "Why is he paying attention to Ming Liding? Is he really going to visit Ming Liding? Has he deliberately contacted other people in Fanyang Prefecture?"
The person said, "In several gatherings, he did mention Ming Liding and expressed his admiration. From this point of view, he is indeed suspected of setting up information. But there is one thing that I can't figure out. Since he wants to find out the news about Ming Liding, why bother to go to Zhongshan Prefecture? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Fanyang Prefecture to find out? Taking a step back, if he really wants to visit Ming Liding, there is no need to go to Ming Liding. He can just visit directly. During the contact, it is not To better grasp people's temperament? If it is like what he said, Ming Liding is his father's confidant, and the relationship between the two families should be so good that there is no need to worry about these little details. Tao Jingshan's attitude seems to want to explore Ming Liding, but also want to guard against Ming Liding, which is extremely weird."
Xu Yi said, "What's going on over there Sanyang Mountain? Can Ming Liding be at Fanyang Prefecture these days?"
The man said, "Sanyang Mountain There is no movement, no one is around, obviously..."
"Wait, what did you say, Sanyang Mountain is nowhere to be found?"
Xu Yi said in surprise, "Sanyang Mountain isn't it the place where Fanyang Prefecture's government office is? Why is there no one there?"
The man said, "Your Excellency, you don't know. The war in Fanyang Prefecture was only settled at the beginning of this year. After Ming Liding officially took office, he abandoned this mountain on the grounds that Sanyang Mountain was invaded by thieves and was in dilapidated condition, and his spiritual veins were destroyed., a new Fu Ling Yamen was built in Lingshan. The original Fanyang Prefecture Ling Yamen Sanyang Mountain was taken over by the Inner Court Department and is going to be auctioned and rented out, probably at the beginning of next month, which is also customary."
Xu Yi didn't say anything for a long time, and the man didn't dare to remind him, until a strong wind caused the bamboo bushes to sway, and Xu Yi said, "I know, thank you for your hard work, you can go ahead. If you have a chance to come to the headquarters in the future, you can come to me."
The man was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he responded repeatedly. Finally, he said, "May I ask, sir, how to deal with these three people, Guan Quan, Leng Qianli, and Niu Dagang?"
As soon as this question came out, the identity of the person was self-evident, it was Shi Guozheng.
Xu Yi's voice suddenly turned cold, "It's up to you."
Shi Guozheng suddenly became frightened and wanted to slap himself to death. He had to ask this kind of question, so he quickly answered and disappeared in a flash.
After Shi Guozheng left, Xu Yi took out a piece of white paper and a charcoal pen, and wrote on the paper: Tao Jingshan, Ming Liding, Sanyang Mountain, auction.
He stared at these words for a long time, and suddenly added another word: Old Prefect's hidden treasure.
With a flick of the brush, he connected the previous words with Old Prefect's hidden treasure. Suddenly, the doubts floating in his mind disappeared in an instant.
He finally understood why Tao Jingshan was only in Zhongshan Prefecture to inquire about Ming Liding's news. He did not want the news of his appearance to reach Ming Liding's ears, so as not to arouse Ming Liding's alert.
At the same time, why Ming Liding couldn't leave the good Sanyang Mountain alone, but wanted to open another government office? The fundamental reason is probably not that Sanyang Mountain was broken at all, but that the government office was moved away, and Sanyang Mountain became a lonely mountain. Without so many eyes, it was convenient for him to find Old Prefect's hidden treasure.
All cause and effect lies in Old Prefect's hidden treasure.
With this thought, Xu Yi suddenly felt that it was a tricky situation. With him and three groups of people eyeing him, it might not be easy to get the treasure smoothly.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Yi finally found some clues and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Yi rushed to Dongliu Immortal City three thousand miles away.
Dongliu Immortal City is less than half the size of Auspicious Chimes Immortal City, but its prosperity is no less prosperous, and there are also many powerful yamen distributed around it.
Among them, Inner Court Department is located here.
Xu Yi came here just to inquire about the mountain auction in Fanyang Prefecture.
He came just in time. Today is the last day to receive the auction license plate and pay the deposit. The auction will be held the day after tomorrow when the license is applied for.
Xu Yi paid a deposit of ten wish beads, received a number plate with the number seventy-three, and came out of the Inner Court Department Yamen.
He just went out and heard a message saying, "Why, I didn't expect that Lord Xu would also be interested in these wilderness mountains. The Chief Strategist of the dignified Elder Xi and the Supervising Lord of the secret guard would not even want to rent a spiritual mountain. If the news spread, it would not make people laugh."
Xu Yi followed the sound and saw Tao Jingshan standing against the window in the tea room on the second floor of an antique-decorated tea house diagonally opposite, looking at him with a smile.
Xu Yi smiled slightly and said to himself, "It's true that enemies never get together. I was worried about how to find you, but you came to me yourself."
Entering the tea room, Tao Jingshan invited Xu Yi to sit on a light yellow couch, waved his hand to close the door and window, took out Ruyi Pearl to activate the restriction, isolated the inside and outside, and said, "The appearance of Brother Xu It really surprises me. A mountain peak can only be rented for more than a hundred wish beads per year, so how can it be worthy of Brother Xu's status? Those who come here to participate in the auction are either brokers or want to pick up the leaked oil. I really don't understand why Brother Xu comes here to interfere."
Xu Yi picked up the tea, drank it all in one gulp, and shook the cup at Tao Jingshan, signaling him to fill it up with tea.
Tao Jingshan frowned slightly, and after filling up the tea, Xu Yi smiled and said, "If the second person asks me, I won't tell you, that is, Brother Tao, you were born in a noble family, and now you are a student of the Biyou Academy, so I'm not afraid of you either. I'll tell you what happened to Jie Hu. In the past, when I was a soldier in Fanyang Prefecture, I heard someone say that there was a treasure buried on Sanyang Mountain...Brother Tao, Brother Tao, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah! I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just a treasure. It's just hearsay. Brother Xu You mustn't waste the wishing pearl in vain because of these rumors."
Tao Jingshan tried his best to persuade him calmly, but his heart was actually boiling.
He never expected that Xu Yi would also be eyeing Sanyang Mountain.
Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "Brother Tao is right. At first, I really thought he was a rumor, but now I don't think so. I have two major pieces of evidence."
"Evidence, two more?"
Tao Jingshan's eyes widened.
Xu Yi picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said to Tao Jingshan, "Thank you Brother Tao for the tea, but the taste is really bland and I can't get used to it. I'd better leave now and won't disturb you."
Tao Jingshan grabbed Xu Yi, and a crystal clear purple jar appeared in his palm. He changed to a tea set, pinched out a thin handful of green tea leaves from the purple jar, and put it on the small stove to cook. Come, not long after, an astonishing fragrance filled the air, "For many years, this little inventory has been brought to Brother Xu's fault. It's time for me to lose money. Brother Xu, it's not appropriate to sell it now."
He was listening with excitement, how could he let Xu Yi go?
