Chapter 747 A Man's Knees Are Made of Gold

There is strength in numbers, and the Black Obsidian Army is really efficient.

It took less than two hours for Mo Lingan and An Yi, who acted separately, to bring all the things that needed to be taken with the Black Obsidian Army. Xuanyuan Yao personally checked the Zong family house, took away all the things that could be taken away, and sealed all the things that needed to be sealed.

After a busy period, it was late at night when several people arrived at the Zong family garden to meet up. Chu Nanyi led Zong Yushang late.

"All the account books and evidence of the Zong family are here." Chu Nanyi handed a pile of things to the Black Obsidian Army, "Just now, Master Zong and I went to the Zong family master's study and secret room again. It took us a long time to find the key to the Zong family rice warehouse, so we came a little late."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao only glanced at Zong Yushang lightly, but didn't say anything.

Chu Nanyi was keenly aware that Xie Jin did not perform well tonight. It took more than two hours to appease his sweetheart. However, this was not the point at the moment. The point was that the Obsidian Army took out several large boxes of silver, many valuable calligraphy and painting vases, and countless treasures and jades from the Zong family's warehouse, and then several people took the key to the Zong family's granary.

As expected, the rice warehouse was already full of rice, and it seemed that there was more rice than the rice warehouse of the Chen family.

"All this rice is used for disaster relief and distributed to the disaster-stricken people for free." Xuanyuan Yao turned his head and looked at Chu Nanyi, "You know a lot of people, you can arrange some reliable people to arrange the follow-up work of the disaster."

Chu Nanyi nodded subconsciously.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yao's expression was serious and solemn, and he looked more cold and majestic than usual. It was obvious that business was more important than anything else, and there was no room for jokes. In addition, the generals in the army gave orders with a kind of demeanor that people dared not disobey.

Chu Nanyi knew the situation and naturally would not tease him at this time.

Instead, Zong Yuchang frequently looked at Xuanyuan Yao, and that look seemed to be examining how difficult his love rival was to deal with, but it was a pity that Xuanyuan Yao was too lazy to even give him a look.

Chu Nanyi and Mo Lingan looked at each other, and they kept silent tacitly. Well, it was important to do business now, and the good show would be left for later.

When the aftermath work was almost completed and several people walked out of the Zong family house and prepared to leave, Xuanyuan Yao ordered the Zong house to be sealed, "Not only the Zong family house, but all the grain merchants and government officials who are in the Zong family group tonight will be sealed. When the matter here is over, everyone will be taken back for trial."

Zong Yuchang spoke at this time: "Master Xie has agreed to hand over the Zong family to me for disposal."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Everyone's expression became weird, and the look they gave Xie Jin was a mixture of sympathy, pity, and surprise, as if to say, you are so blatantly courting death? You're courting death to the point of using the law as a promise?

This is not a question of whether Xuanyuan Yao is jealous or not, but whether Xie Jin will live to return to Kyoto. Even if he is lucky enough to return alive, he is likely to be divorced and removed from the Xuanyuan family name, leaving only the bare Xie title.

"Confer it." Xuanyuan Yao ordered forcefully.

"Yaoyao." Xie Jin smiled and said, as if he didn't notice any strange atmosphere, "I did promise to leave the Zong family to Zong Yushang."

As the voice fell, the air became quieter.

Chu Nanyi turned his head to look at the sky. The sky was gray after a busy night. They are all tired, okay? Can they go back to rest earlier?

Although it is also important to watch the show well, wouldn't it be better to go back and take a good bath, have a comfortable sleep, make a cup of tea after waking up, and sit and watch the show leisurely?

Mo Lingan looked at Zong Yuchang casually, wondering what ability this young man had to persuade Xie Jin to agree to such an outrageous thing?

Could it be that Xie Jin, Xie Jiuye, was captured because of this pretty face?

Xie Jin's words sounded provocative to others, especially in front of so many people. Although he didn't mean to provoke, Xuanyuan Yao was not very satisfied with him in the first place, and hearing this sentence at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Mo Lingan thought he would be angry.

Zong Yuchang also thought he would show a little anger, at least even if he didn't get angry, his face would change.

However, unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Yao just glanced at Zong Yushang calmly, then nodded slowly and ordered his Black Obsidian Army: "The Zong family will not be sealed for the time being, but it will be heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."

When this was said, not only Zong Yushang was surprised, but Mo Lingan and Chu Nanyi were also surprised. However, Xie Jin seemed to have expected him to say this. The smile on his lips deepened, and he looked at Xuanyuan Yao with tenderness.

Yaoyao is the one who knows him.

Even if he doesn't understand the details for the time being, he will never lose face in front of others, and will not easily question his decision-if the two positions were reversed today, Xie Jin would still believe in him and would never question his decision at all.

This is the tacit understanding and trust between them.

Xuanyuan Yao will indeed give face to Xie Jin in front of outsiders and will not argue with him. After all, Xie Jin is the imperial envoy who came to provide disaster relief this time. If he refutes his face in public, it is to refute the face of Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent.

And even if it was just the two of them, Xuanyuan Yao was never a person who would lose his temper regardless of the occasion.

However, the calmer, more tolerant and patient people are, the harder it is to deal with them.

"Let's go and rest first." Chu Nanyi said, with a gentle and leisurely manner, "There is a villa in Anhe Town that can be used as a temporary place to stay."

So the group went to Anhe Town and rode on horseback, arriving in less than half an hour.

What people didn't expect was that Zong Yuchang could actually ride a horse, and judging from her posture, her riding skills were pretty good.

Chu Nanyi wanted to ask Xie Jin, Zong Yuchang was also a member of the Zong family, why didn't he be detained together, but let him follow them all the way?

But seeing that Xuanyuan Yao didn't ask, he naturally didn't care about this sensitive issue. Anyway, Xie Jin was in charge of the main affairs this time, and he just knew it in his heart.

When they arrived at the villa in Anhe Town, it was already completely bright. Chu Nanyi called a few maids and servants, and they went to wash and change clothes separately. Zong Yuchang was taken by two maids to wash and bathe, and Xie Jin was naturally with Xuanyuan Yao. The servants prepared water and clothes for them and left soon.

Xuanyuan Yao said nothing and took a comfortable hot bath. Xie Jin served Xuanyuan Yao attentively while he was bathing, as if to atone for his sins.

After bathing and changing clothes, the two returned to the inner room, and Xuanyuan Yao took out a few golden ingots and lined them up on the ground: "Don't say I humiliate you. A man has gold under his knees. You should understand what it means."

Xie Jin was stunned: "Is this what a man has gold under his knees?"

"Kneel down." Xuanyuan Yao sat down on the edge of the bed, his tone as calm as if a storm was coming, "I have something to ask you."

Xie Jin looked at his handsome face quietly, "Yaoyao, let me kiss you first, I missed you these two days."

Xuanyuan Yao's eyes sank: "Kneel down!"

With a plop, Xie Jin knelt down, and even reached out to put the displaced gold ingots back under his knees, behaving very well.
