Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Xiao Yun squinted his eyes and looked outside the cell. It turned out that Pei Zhongren was eavesdropping from the side.    

    

Pei Zhongren was really curious!    

    

He had naturally heard that Wu Xi was doomed. Everyone was hiding in their homes. Wu Xi's family had arranged all kinds of things and sent money to him. It could be said that they were sick and trying to find a cure.    

    

Everyone was hiding because they knew that if this had anything to do with their family, whoever went up would die!    

    

But in an instant, Wu Xi was released.    

    

Although all kinds of punishments were extremely cruel, it was undeniable that Wu Xi was alive!    

    

No one understood what was going on. They could only guess that someone had helped to say something. However, there were different opinions on who had such great power. There had never been a definite number.    

    

On the other hand, Pei Zhongren had his own doubts.    

    

The day Wu Xi was released, Xiao Yun had just walked out of the prison and met His Majesty again. Could it be that this matter had something to do with him?    

    

And today, Wu Xi had come!    

    

This made the doubt in Pei Zhongren's heart instantly come to a conclusion.    

    

Wu Xi was saved by Xiao Yun!    

    

But Pei Zhongren couldn't help but feel strange. Logically speaking, this Xiao Yun had nothing to do with Wu Xi, so why did he save him? And even if he saved him, how could Xiao Yun tell His Majesty to let him go?    

    

At the same time, it also shocked Pei Zhongren.    

    

This Xiao Yun... Just how much energy did he possess?!    

    

Just as he was thinking, he realized that Xiao Yun was waving at him, which shocked him once again.    

    

Actually, he was hiding in a room. From the outside, he could see that it was a wall. There was only a very small hole on the wall, and the structure of the hole was very particular. It was very difficult to find it from the outside. However, through it, one could see a very large area on the outside.    

    

At this moment, Xiao Yun was staring at the small hole and waving inside.    

    

Pei Zhongren could only sigh helplessly. He walked out from the hole and walked in front of him with an awkward expression.    

    

After all, it was embarrassing to be discovered on the spot when he was peeking.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Why is Sir Pei so free and elegant?"    

    

"Just curious, curious... Hehe. "    

    

Speaking of which, Pei Zhongren owed Xiao Yun a favor. Therefore, in front of him, Pei Zhongren naturally did not have that much confidence.    

    

Xiao Yun looked at Wu Xi and then at Pei Zhongren. He suddenly smiled and said, "No matter what you think, from today onwards... Outsiders will treat you as a group. As the saying goes, 'friends'. Even though the higher-ups have tried to stop you, everyone knows that there are always people everywhere. There will definitely be one. And now... Because of me... After all, even His Majesty knows... Elder Leng will definitely stand on my side, and you are Elder Leng's disciple. So naturally, it would be on my side as well. Now, I have gone through great pains to rescue Elder Wu. What do you think... the relationship between the two of you is?"    

    

The corner of Pei Zhongren's eyes twitched a few times. After a while, he said with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid that in the eyes of outsiders, we will become friends."    

    

"That's right, that's what happened. So you should have heard it earlier. Elder Wu's grandson was now a rank four flag bearer in the capital. Someone had to bear some responsibility for him. I think we don't need to trouble Elder Leng for this matter, right? "    

    

Pei Zhongren said helplessly, "Then it is naturally me who will come forward."    

    

After thinking for a while, he turned to Wu Xi and said, "Let him join the Court of Censors. His rank will not change, and he will also be a flag bearer. However, the Court of Censors has more theories and rules. I wonder if Lin Er from the Wu family is willing to join?"    

    

"Of course I'm willing!"    

    

Wu Xi was overjoyed. Initially, he thought that his family was finished. More than a hundred people in his family would have to live on the streets. At that time, it would be a problem for them to survive.    

    

But now, with this, even if there were officials in his family, although the salary of a rank four official would not be enough to support more than a hundred people, it would not be too miserable.    

    

While he was pleasantly surprised, Xiao Yun continued, "As for those people in your family, it just so happens that our Xiao mansion is very big. But there are very few people, you can live there. Oh, right, you can only live in the east courtyard, no matter what the reason is. You can't go to the west courtyard. If you are not careful, you can go there. I know. No matter who goes there, they have to break their legs. "    

    

Wu Xi was pleasantly surprised.    

    

He was happy that his family had a place to stay. After all, no one dared to take them in now.    

    

What surprised him was that Xiao Yun had set such a rule again. He didn't quite understand what it meant. Why couldn't they go to the west courtyard after staying in the east courtyard? Why did they break their legs? He didn't understand.    

    

But he was smart enough to nod and thank him without even asking.    

    

Pei Zhongren watched from the side and couldn't help but shake his head.    

    

He also did not understand what was so good about this stinky Wu Xi. Putting aside Xiao Yun's help, he also wanted more than a hundred people from his family to live in his own house. Didn't that mean that he wanted to be completely connected to Wu Xi? What was his motive? If he wasn't trying to leave the name of 'greed' in the world?    

    

This would be detrimental to Saint Xiao's reputation.    

    

Xiao Yun nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "For the sake of today's plan, we'll leave it at that for the time being. Elder Wu, don't belittle yourself. You have to believe in your own strength."    

    

Elder Wu said with a bitter face, "What kind of strength can an old man like me have? It won't be easy for me to live now."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Elder Wu, do you think an ordinary official can walk into the prison of Court of Censors without paying and reporting after losing his title?"    

    

"This..."    

    

Wu Xi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Pei Zhongren. He thought Pei Zhongren asked someone to let him in, but Pei Zhongren shook his head.    

    

Wu Xi was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"    

    

"Because you are different from ordinary officials."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Officials are divided into several types. The most basic aspect is that they are divided into three types: white, black, and gray."    

    

Pei Zhongren and Wu Xi immediately perked up their ears and listened carefully.    

    

"The white ones are like Prime Minister Lee's. They are upright and upright. He uses his Morality to pacify everything in the world. Of course, this kind of person can live. They are all people with extremely high means, regardless of their intelligence or talent. They were all people who far surpassed ordinary people. Unless His Majesty wanted to deal with Prime Minister Lee... There is no way you can fall. Don't provoke him either. "    

    

After a pause, he said, "And the grey official is somewhere between black and white. They can work and abide by the rules, but from time to time they secretly break some rules. This kind of people are the vast majority, including Lord Pei, you are also the same... On the surface, you are abiding by the rules, but when it comes to Master... Or if it's your own business, just ignore the rules. You have your own way of handling things, and often you will conflict with the law. So, you are also gray."    

    

Pei Zhongren lowered his head awkwardly.    

    

He couldn't help but think in his heart, if it wasn't for this, why would I be ordered around by a kid like you? You still don't dare to speak?    

    

Xiao Yun turned his head and looked at Wu Xi. He said, "As for Sir Wu, he is a black official. Everyone in the world knows that you are not a good official. The entire Imperial Court knows that you are greedy. Your reputation is destined to be tarnished for ten thousand years. But you are still alive. If the people in the future judge you... No matter what, you will never be able to escape the word 'treacherous'. "    

    

Wu Xi felt even more awkward. He lowered his head, unable to speak for a long time.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Don't feel ashamed of yourself. White and black, compared to gray... Why is Prime Minister Lee so annoying, but he was not killed? Why did the world know that you are greedy, but His Majesty did not kill you before? Compared to the grey officials, they could only do some normal things. Doing some of the things within their duties, it would be the white ones and the black ones. Only then can you do some real big things! "    

    

Wu Xi immediately raised his head again, and hope appeared in his eyes.
