When the old man said this, his face was filled with awe and admiration for Hua Xiong.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Xu Shu was a little out of his mind.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that it all came from Hua Xiong!

But under the description of Liu Bei and others, Hua Xiong is a heinous traitor!

"Master, are you alright?"

The two followers were concerned and authentic.

"I am fine."

Xu Shu waved his hand.

At this moment, several passers-by hurried on their way.

As they walked, they said,

"The petition mailbox set up by King Wei is open today, let's hurry over to join in the fun."

"It's late, I guess there will be no place."

"exactly."

What they said made Xu Shu a little curious.

Petition mailbox, what is that?

He took two followers and hurriedly followed behind those people.

Soon Xu Shu came to a street.

There are no shops doing business on this street, and there are more than a dozen imperial court departments scattered all over.

At this moment, the street is surrounded by people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

The innermost one is a high platform.

A man in official uniform held a wooden box and said loudly,

"Everyone in the Han Dynasty, today is the day to open the petition mailbox.

After our verification and investigation, the officials who handle household registration have slack off the common people! "

Xu Shu asked the people nearby, and finally understood the identity of the official and what the so-called petition mailbox meant.

It turned out that Hua Xiong had set up a number of petition mailboxes in Luoyang City, and the common people could write letters to report any illegal behavior by officials.

The Overwatch Council was established by the imperial court to deal with petition mailboxes.

It is similar to Yushitai in charge of impeachment, which specially supervises the wrongdoing of court officials.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The official on the stage was the head of the Overwatch Council, the Chief Inspector.

The Inspector General's voice fell, and another official with a slumped face was brought to the stage.

"I ask you, do you admit to slack off the people?"

asked the Inspector-General sharply.

"I admit it, I admit it!"

The official nodded repeatedly.

"Then why don't you hurry up and apologize to the people!"

The officials hurriedly bowed and apologized to the people in the audience,

"People, I was wrong, I shouldn't be arrogant and forget His Highness King Wei's warning to serve the people.

I implore everyone to give me a chance! "

The chief inspector on the side looked much more relaxed, and said loudly,

"After our Overwatch Council's research, I think he committed a crime, so I'll temporarily demote him by one level, fine him three months' salary, and record a major demerit once.

People, do you have any objections? "

"no disagreement!"

The crowd present spoke in unison.

The inspector general nodded, looking at the official with a serious face,

"I'll give you a chance today, and if you commit another crime next time, you will be punished directly according to the Han law!"

"understand!"

Then the inspector general dealt with several unfavorable officials in public, and the event was completely over.

And Xu Shu stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Before, he was still wondering why the officials of the imperial court were so honest that even a small city guard refused to accept money.

Now he is completely enlightened.

With this petition mailbox, who would dare to commit illegal acts?

But what surprised Xu Shu the most was that the Overwatch Council dealt with officials in public.

You must know the past system, as long as you can become an official, your status is extremely noble.

However, within Huaxiong's jurisdiction, if officials fail to serve the people well, they must apologize to the people in public.

It is up to the people to decide what kind of punishment they will accept.

This is simply beyond Xu Shu's cognition.

Just when Xu Shu was in a daze, a voice sounded softly behind him.

"Yuanzhi, don't come here without any problems."

Xu Shu was startled and turned around.

I saw a man with a stalwart figure and an indescribable aura around him, looking at him with a slight smile.

And behind him, there is a man with a white face guarding him.

"Zi...Zilong...Wei...King Wei..."

Even if Xu Shu didn't know the person who called out his name, he still recognized Zhao Yun who was following behind him.

Besides Hua Xiong, who can make Zhao Yun act as his personal bodyguard?

Hearing Hua Xiong's name, the two attendants subconsciously drew their long knives from their waists.

Xu Shu was startled, quickly pressed their hands, and shouted in a low voice,

"Don't do it!"

There are only three of them in total, so maybe even Zhao Yun can't beat them.

Not to mention that there is a brave Hua Xiong next to him.

If you really want to do it, you will definitely die!

"King Wei, how did you find me?"

Xu Shu suppressed the panic in his heart and forced himself to be calm and authentic.

"Liu Bei and Cao Cao's talented people have been reported to the Military Intelligence Department.

So you haven't entered Luoyang City yet, I knew you were coming. "

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

Xu Shu only felt a cold air rushing from his heels to Tianlinggai.

The spies placed by our side can't even find out the situation in Luoyang City.

And Hua Xiong knows his whereabouts like the palm of his hand.

This Nima is really terrifying.

"Then why didn't King Wei arrest me?"

Xu Shu asked.

"Why should I arrest you?"

Hua Xiong asked back.

"Don't King Wei know that I'm here to assassinate you?"

Hua Xiong only smiled faintly,

"Now is not the time to talk. I will be the host tonight, and you and I will talk in detail in Tianranju."

Xu Shu looked around, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said,

"Everything depends on King Wei."

The two parties waved goodbye.

"My lord, why didn't you arrest Yuan Zhi?" Zhao Yun asked puzzledly.

"Why should I arrest him?"

"He is here to assassinate you, my lord."

Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing,

"I know, but if I arrest him, I won't be able to recruit him."

Xu Shu is upright, loyal and capable of handling affairs.

Hua Xiong took back Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou and other places one after another. At a time when there was a shortage of manpower, he naturally wanted to take back talents like Xu Shu.

If Xu Shu is really arrested, I'm afraid he will just come to the Huaying directly like Xu Shu in history, without saying a word.

Zhao Yun smiled wryly upon hearing this,

"My lord, Yuanzhi is extremely loyal to Duke Xuande. It is impossible for you to regain him."

"What I am best at is making the impossible possible."

Hua Xiong smiled confidently.

After today's observation, he believed that Xu Shu had been shaken by what he saw and heard in Luoyang City.

What I have to do is to add fuel and vinegar tonight and take down Xu Shu earlier!

……

Night had just fallen.

Hua Xiong took Zhao Yun and Guo Jia to the private room that had been settled in Tianranju in advance.

"My lord, Xu Shu is here to assassinate you, and there are only three of us!"

Guo Jia said a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, Zilong is here. He will keep us safe."

Hua Xiong is nonchalant.

But despite this, Guo Jia was still a little worried.

After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Xu Shu walked in slowly.

"King Wei."

He cupped his hands.

"Yuan Zhi, please sit down."

Hua Xiong greeted Xu Shu to sit down with a smile.

"Come, come, I ordered these dishes specially for you, try them quickly."

Facing the delicious food on the table, Xu Shu was not in the mood to eat it.

The purpose of his coming tonight is to understand why Hua Xiong didn't arrest him.
