Chapter 857: I'll give you a heads-up first
Li Kailiang only took his words as relief, and Chitose heard the deep meaning: Yan Saburo used Fushengzi for less than ten hours, even if he was unlucky afterwards, it should only be a small mold.
This can be seen from the series of situations he has encountered since last night. The lamp puppet Fushengzi is indeed effective, and the bad luck is not fatal, which is completely different from Si Wenrui, who is in danger at every turn after Fushengzi falls off.
Then, Li Kailiang reported to him the progress of the establishment of the Tiangong Bureau.
Judging from the name alone, Yan Saburo could see Li Kailiang's ambitions, otherwise why wouldn't he call it "team" and "hall"? Naturally, he hoped that it would flourish and have the prospect of dominating one side.
Their goal is always to develop Shengyi Xicheng in a year or two. If he wants to intervene in this century-old project, Yan Saburo needs a skilled, competent, and trusted team, not a miscellaneous soldier.
When training troops for a thousand days is useful, the "Heavenly Work Bureau" takes the swallow tower as the opening task, which is wonderful. As long as it is done well, there will naturally be a reputation in the future, and Wang Ting will be able to see the value of the Tiangong Bureau.
The Tiangong Bureau also has the capital to undertake larger-scale projects.
Li Kailiang even said: "I originally planned to recruit people and form a team when I went to Fenglai Mountain for business, but now I am really sleepy and someone will send pillows." As soon as the swallow tower collapsed, our opportunity came in advance. ”
Yan Saburo pointed to his lips and lightly "shhhhhh But there was a smile in his eyes, and there was not much reproach.
Li Kailiang dared to open his mouth in front of him, which showed that this person trusted him quite a lot.
If the two want to achieve great things in the future, this trust will be even more valuable.

The next day, Yan Saburo had to go out:
At noon, Si Wenrui was executed.
Because of King Wei's wedding, Wang Ting's original sentence was changed from Ling Chi to hanging, and after Si Daguang begged bitterly, Xiao Mi waved his pen and changed it to beheading.
Although both are capital punishments, there is a big difference between hanging and beheading. The former process is slow and painful, and experienced executioners also have the "slow wrangling" technique, which allows the prisoner to be hung for ten hours before slowly breathing, which is really worse than death.
It is much easier to cut off the head, and the head falls to the ground with a knife, and the death row prisoner is less tortured.
Si Daguang felt sorry for his son, and he was afraid that the monarch would hold a grudge, so he had to choose "slow hanging" to make Si Wenrui suffer more, so he tried to change his sentence.
Xiao Mi happily agreed. Si Daguang has already returned the military talisman and is about to return the military power, Xiao Mi's goal has been achieved, and he doesn't want to embarrass him.
Those who achieve great things are not informal.
In fact, if it is customary for the monarch to give amnesty to the whole world when he is newly married, many prisoners will have their sentences commuted for this. But Xiao Mi had already issued an amnesty when he ascended the throne three years ago, and he really wanted Si Wenrui's life, so this pardon was not pushed down.
Si Wenrui was guilty of seven or eight serious crimes, such as conspiracy, murder, blame, and treason, all of which are unforgivable. As soon as the charges were read, he was beheaded in front of the general public, and blood splattered five steps.
His ambitions and ambitions, and perhaps hatred, came to an abrupt end.
This time the execution went smoothly and without any waves.
Si Daguang was also on the spot. Yan Saburo carefully observed his eyes and found that this "Tangshan Marquis" had a haggard face and empty eyes, and he seemed to be ten years old in three days.
Those who are determined to take revenge have pain and sorrow, but they will not be so silent as death.
The white cat also lay on his shoulder to watch the execution, and was watching it with relish, so he heard him say: "This turmoil is finally over." ”
"Sentimental what?" she gave him a roll of the eyes, "Si Wenrui is not dead, can it be such a happy ending?"
Someone next to him also sighed: "Yes, it's finally over." ”
A man and a cat looked back, and Shi Congyi was standing beside him.
He patted Yan Saburo on the shoulder: "Are you going to my house for a drink tonight?" I invited the Lord Protector, but he said it was inconvenient to come. ”
"No, I won't. Yan Saburo turned around and walked to the carriage, and Shi Congyi followed, "Hey, think about it again? Here you are, I invite you to see the baby. ”
"What baby?" The young man's experience is far better than before, and he knows that Han Zhao is worried. As a minister in power, he invited officials to banquets, especially drinking with all the generals, and spread it to the ears of those who were interested, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Even if Xiao Mi didn't care, Han Zhao couldn't tell the truth.
The Protector is a very cautious person, both in life and in the army. He rarely goes to this kind of drinking party with friends.
"Do you still remember the Danfeng under the Protector Gong?" Shi Congyi reminded the young man, "He is very arrogant, he beats people at every turn, and he likes to look at people with his nostrils." ”
"I remembered. "It's like it's been in your house for a while." ”
"Yes, it makes its home on the tallest plane tree. It is said that it took a fancy to the tree and came to live with me. This thing has a very bad temper, and it is not easy to be approached by the living, and it is not easy to serve. ”
Yan Saburo coughed lightly.
"Far from it. Shi Congyi hurriedly pulled back the conversation, "It laid eggs yesterday, three." Two red ones, and the remaining one is actually gold, red and white, which is extremely beautiful. ”
"You're lying in its nest?"
"Look. Shi Congyi covered his nose, "I sneaked up to see it, and I almost pecked my nose by it." ”
He gestured: "Those three eggs are so big." ”
"Bigger than a watermelon?" Yan Saburo was slightly stunned, "How did Danfeng give birth?"
Is it reasonable that an egg is bigger than a bird?
"Hey, Danfeng's true body is several feet long, but it is easy not to be revealed, I heard that this is too laborious, so he usually shrinks like a brocade pheasant, and the eggs in his belly are not big. But when it comes to giving birth, it has to return to its true form, and two or three people can sit in the nest. The egg is laid into an egg, and its size does not shrink again. Shi Congyi hurriedly waved his hand, "I heard that the pure fire phoenix is thirty zhang long, and its demeanor is all directions." Where is it?"
"Does it have a mate?"
"What kind of bird can give birth to three-colored eggs?" Chitose muttered, "Isn't it going to be a mutation?"
"I don't know. Shi Congyi could only guess, "Maybe." It's a Danfeng, but it can't be like a hen, and there are no male eggs every day. ”
"Just drink, I'm fine. Yan Saburo thought about it, but still declined. He didn't know if his bad luck was gone, and he shouldn't go out at this time.
"You're still on business. Shi Congyi was a little regretful, but soon said, "Today, someone in the court is already looking for you trouble." ”
Here it comes. Yan Saburo cheered up when he heard this: "What's the matter?"
"There is a speaker who has a copy of you, saying that the Tiangong Bureau 'had a bad start', causing the swallow tower to collapse for the second time. Shi Congyi whispered, "This news will also reach you soon, so I'll give you a reminder first." ”
