I was a gentleman in ancient times

After leaving from Xu Man, Ji Kai went back to his room, changed his clothes, and then wandered out of Xu Mansion.

He was a big celebrity around Xu Man, so the gatekeeper naturally didn't dare to ask too much.Seeing him, he bowed his head and greeted him, "Ji Lang-jun is going out for a drink?"

Every few days, Ji Kai would go out to the wine house in the south of the city to drink.But almost everyone knew that he was a drunkard who didn't want to drink, and he took a fancy to the confidante in the wine house.

Ji Kai was careless, smiled and rewarded a few coins, "Exactly, don't forget to leave me a door when the time comes."

"That's, that's." The gatekeeper took the money and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Mr. Ji Lang needless to say, the villain will naturally keep the door for him."

When the people walked away, the gatekeeper still praised, "Ji Lang-jun is still generous in the whole house."

Ji Kai walked into a wine house in the south of the city, and someone greeted him immediately. Ji Kai dropped some money and said, "Old rules."

The man understood, and politely led him into a private room.As soon as Ji Kai entered the door, someone was already waiting for him while drinking.

Ji smiled, "Yan Liu, you're lucky, you started to move before I arrived."

When Yan Liu saw Ji Kai, he didn't get up, instead he took a bite of the food and said slowly, "You are the one who came late."

Ji Kai didn't care about it, and knelt down opposite him, Yan Liu glanced at him, "It's done?"

Ji Kai smugly smiled and said: "I don't even look at who will come out, it will be done naturally. Qi Yuan has already been sent to prison by the King of Yue, as for Xu Man..." He snorted coldly, "It's just a greedy guy, as long as there is someone If you don’t believe him, he won’t listen to us.”

Yan Liu smiled in satisfaction, nodded and said, "I will pass this news back to Qin State as soon as possible. Next, we just need to arrange it secretly and wait for the envoys of Qin State to come over."

Ji nodded in agreement, the two smiled at the same time, touched the wine bottle lightly, "I hope everything will go well in the future."

"Now that the position of senior doctor is vacant, Xu Man will definitely let one of his own people take the position. Today he asked me to help him with divination. Who is the best person to use. Do you have any good suggestions?" Ji Kai handed Xu Man back when he returned home. Said to him the task.He couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask for advice.

Yan Liu nodded, "Don't be careless about this matter. It is very important to be a doctor. I will report the matter and I will give you news at that time."

Ji Kai expressed his understanding, and said worriedly: "Although I can help Xu Man propose a candidate, whether it is necessary or not depends on him, and he doesn't listen to me in everything. If the choice is not someone he approves, I'm afraid things will go wrong. Difficult."

What Xu Man meant was definitely for his own people. If it was someone from other forces, he would never give in.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of happiness for him to fetch water from a bamboo basket by himself?

"I have a measure of this, don't worry, when will my brother make it difficult for you?" Yan Liu chuckled.

That's true, they are all one body, and it's impossible to escape the accident by pulling one hair and moving the whole body.

The two discussed for about half a stick of incense, and then Yan Liu got up, "I'll go first, just wait for the envoy to arrive, and everything will go according to plan." After speaking, he left directly through the back door.

Ji Kai has long been used to it, he took his time and tasted the food and wine alone.

He is a spy sent by Xie Zhuo to the country of Yue. When he was sent to the country of Yue, he has been lurking in the country for many years, using a false identity to maintain his life like ordinary people.There has been no movement in these years, and he thought that he would be like this for the rest of his life, and then he received a secret order from above to let them implement the action plan.

When he first received the secret letter, he was extremely excited.The day he had been waiting for finally came, and his master did not forget him.

According to the address in the letter, he found this wine house, and then met this man named Yan Liu.The two of them had a secret discussion for half a day. The other party had a detailed understanding of his living conditions over the years, and after asking some questions, he finally recognized him, which was regarded as an admission of his identity.

With Yan Liu's help, he successfully sneaked into Xu Man's mansion as a guest, but how did he know about divination?It's just all kinds of news that Yan Liu handed him, and he can make people believe it by making up random things.It was also because of this that he deliberately said what the divination revealed, and helped Xu Man several times, which made Xu Man value him even more.

After gaining Xu Man's trust, he has access to many secrets.Moreover, Xu Man will carefully consider his opinions.Over time, his opinion became indispensable to Xu Man, no matter how big or small, he got used to listening to him.

And after he established himself in the Xu Mansion, every few days, he would come to this wine house to meet up.What was waiting for him was either the secret letter or Yan Liu himself.Each time, he would give him different tasks, and he would hand over all the information he got to Yan Liu.

This wine house should be their own territory, it is very safe, and it can also help him cover, so that he will not attract suspicion.

What happened in the palace today, the reason why such a thing happened, was planned and premeditated by them long ago.Qi Yuan, the senior official of the Yue State, was highly respected. Because the Yue State King ignored the government, almost all the ministers in the court listened to him.With him around, Yue Kingdom's court affairs are almost decided by him, so Mr. Wei's plan will not be too smooth.Therefore, they received an order, and bringing down Qi Yuan was their top priority.

And Qi Yuan is deeply rooted, it is not easy to overthrow him.The only way can only be to support a person who can oppose him, and this person must be beneficial to their control, so they really moved a lot of thought on the selection of candidates.After screening layer by layer, Xu Man appeared in their eyes, and he was one of the qualified candidates.

Xu Man had a good appearance, and with this, he was also loved by the King of Yue in the palace.The most important point is that this person is greedy and small-minded. Whenever someone offends him, he will take revenge. He is a very villain.

Once a good candidate is identified, they will act without delay. As long as they grasp the shortcomings of this person, a large number of rare treasures will be delivered to the door.Coupled with Ji Kai's internal ideas, Xu Man and the others can already fully control it.

Lord Yue is a fatuous and incompetent person. With Xu Man by his side to flatter and flatter him, he trusts Xu Man very much and obeys Xu Man in almost everything.Therefore, as long as Xu Man is in control, the King of Yue is basically nothing to worry about.

When he was going out, a charming woman from the tavern came out with him.The two chatted at the door for a while, and then Ji Kai left with a satisfied expression.

Within a few days, Ji Kai got a message reply.He opened the secret letter and took a look, frowned, and slowly read the name on the letter: Hu Zhuo?

This is the arrangement for the election of Mrs. Shang?He thought for a while before pulling out such a person from his memory.It's just that this person is not Xu Man's person, Ji Kai has some headaches, and things are probably a little tricky.This Hu Zhuo is also a veteran of the Yue Kingdom, and his qualifications are not shallow.It's just that he is different from Qi Yuan in that he is tactful in dealing with others, and he likes to mess with everything.It is also like this that he is in a neutral position in the court, and he does not participate in the conflicts between Qi Yuan and Xu Man.

Will Xu Man agree to push such a person to sit on the doctor's seat?

But even if things were difficult, Ji Kai had to do his best. He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

It wasn't until Xu Man returned to the mansion that he sent someone to ask him to ask about the matter, that he gritted his teeth, and with his perfect tongue, he had to give it a try anyway.

Thinking of this, he resolutely walked out.

"Young one has seen the master." Ji Kai bowed to Xu Man when he saw Xu Man.

At this time Xu Man was reclining lazily on the couch, with several maidservants beside him, pressing his shoulders, and beating his legs.It has to be said that his appearance is indeed very advantageous. Those maidservants have lost their looks, but he does not lose a single bit of color among them, but compares them.

Xu Man waved his hand to let him sit down, and then asked: "How about the things I entrusted you to do before? Has there been any results?"

Ji Kai nodded, and said flatteringly: "The villain will definitely take care of the matters that the master entrusts to the villain, but it's just..."

"Just what?" Seeing that he seemed embarrassed, Xu Man couldn't help asking.

Ji Kai hastily knelt down and pleaded guilty, "It's just that the result was not satisfactory, so please forgive me, master!"

"Oh?" Xu Man took a sip of the tea from the side with his white hand, then frowned, threw the teacup to the man's face, and said, "Bold servant girl, what kind of water do you use to make tea?" You have already explained that this tea needs to be boiled with snow water from Sanjiu plum blossom cores, but you have ignored my words."

The servant had already knelt down and begged for mercy, but Xu Man took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his fingers soaked in tea.He also ignored the servant, and directly ordered: "Come here, drag this lowly servant to me and beat him to death."

The sound of weeping was endless, and after a while, screams came from the courtyard outside, and gradually died down.

Disregarding people's lives in Xu's mansion happened almost every day, and Ji Kai had long been familiar with it.But this time, his vest was dripping with cold sweat, and he bent down on the ground, not daring to say more.

At this time, Xu Man had time to continue the previous topic, and looked at Ji Kai, "What's the result? Not as expected? What do you mean by that?"

Ji's heart still has lingering fears, Xu Man is temperamental, if he is dissatisfied, will he be blamed for it?But this task is very important, if you can't complete it, you may lose your life.

It's better to give it a go.

He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "The villain has done divination several times in a row, and the result is the same every time. According to the instructions from the heavens, the most suitable candidate for the doctor is Hu Zhuo."

Xu Man's face became gloomy, he did not expect such a result at all.He wholeheartedly planned to let his own people come to power, and he would listen to everything at that time. Wouldn't he want wind and rain in the court?Unexpectedly, an incomprehensible name came out of Ji's mouth.

"Is there really only one result?" Xu Man asked coldly.

"The villain will never dare to lie a little bit." Ji Kai said tremblingly.

Xu Man narrowed his eyes, "If I have to win, what if I must let my own people take over?"

Ji Kai bowed his head suddenly, "It's a big murder, I'm afraid it will implicate the master's property and life."

Xu Man paused, as if thinking about the authenticity of Ji Kai's words.Ji Kai said without hesitation: "Master, I would rather believe what is there or not. In fact, if you really want to explain, you can also foresee the consequences of this matter."

"How do you say it?" Xu Man's voice was a little sharp.

Ji Kai is not in a hurry, as long as you are willing to listen to what I have to say, even the dead I can tell you to live.

"Master, just think about it. The rule of the Yue Kingdom is that eunuchs are not allowed to participate in government affairs. The position of the senior official is very important. The old officials from Qiyuan will never allow this position to fall into the hands of the master. Even if it is the master's person, as long as there is some connection , they are all on guard.”

When Ji Kai said this, he secretly glanced at Xu Man.Seeing that his face was expressionless and there was no sign of anger, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "As for Hu Zhuo, he is neutral and unreliable. Although he has nothing to do with us, people in the same line as Qi Yuan have nothing to do with him." Involvement. If we push him out, those old ministers will definitely not have anything to say, and the resistance will naturally be small."

That's the reason, Xu Man couldn't help but nodded, "But he won't speak up for us, and it's always uncomfortable to give up the pie he got for nothing."

Hearing Xu Man's words, Ji laughed, "Master's words are wrong, but in the eyes of the villain, this move is the best."

"how do I say this?"

"Think about it, master, if we push Hu Zhuo to the top, will he be grateful? As long as he appreciates us, we can find a way to win him over. If we really want to win people over, wouldn't the master be more powerful? Who else in the hall can rival the master?"

"Good! Well said!" Hearing this, Xu Man's face was already filled with joy, and he sat up straight, "It's just that I had someone give me a rare beauty before, but he was unmoved. Can it be used for me?"

Ji smiled, "Everyone in the world has something to ask for. Since they don't love beauties and rare treasures, then officials and powers still care about it. It just so happens that the master can offer a pillow, and he can't refuse it if he wants to. The master can leave this matter to the younger one. The small ones must win the master's hearts."

"Okay! Then I will leave this matter to you. If it is done, I will reward you a lot."

Only then did Ji Kai wipe off his sweat without a trace, since this task was entrusted to him, his life would be saved.
