King Dongshan remembered that Xie Jiu had said that he would give his pension to his mother, saying that his mother had a hard time.

That's it!

He clenched his fists tightly. What happened to Xie Jiu turned out to be like this... If Wei Dong knew this... He frowned fiercely.

He didn't dare to think about whether Wei Dong would hate him to death if he knew that Xie Jiu was having such a hard time in the palace.

After all, he is also a part of Xie Jiu's unlucky life.

If Xie Jiu's father was the source of his pain, then I was the end of his death.

He sneered, it turned out that there were people who had a harder time surviving than him!

Is it Xie Bian?

King Dongshan adjusted his mentality, sat down again, leaned on one side of the chair, and said to Lou Ding:

"Where is Xie Bian? Call him over so I can meet him."

Lou Ding immediately ordered someone to find Xie Bian.

Xie Bian heard that King Dongshan was looking for him.

I was puzzled at first, but then I thought about the series of actions he took after he came back. It was said that he beat the Fourth Prince violently to seek justice for the deaths of his close friends.

So, the reason why he came to find me now should be because of the dead Xie Jiu. After all, Xie Jiu's body was covered with wounds that looked very tragic.

In the eyes of King Dongshan, he should have made great contributions. So now, is King Dongshan coming to reward him?

After all, he is Xie Jiu's father.

Xie Jiu is dead, so all the benefits can only be given to his father.

Yes! That must be it.

He came in with a nervous mood, and seeing the prince sitting crookedly in his seat, he quickly put on the attitude of a respectful subordinate and saluted to greet the King of Dongshan.

When King Dongshan saw him come in, he sat up straight, even stood up condescendingly, and personally came over to help up Xie Bian who was saluting.

He said to Xie Bian with admiration:

"You raised a good son. If he hadn't fought desperately to fend off the enemy, I might not have been able to return. He was the last secret guard who stayed with me at that time.

I promised him that I would take good care of his mother. I wonder where Xie Jiu's mother is now? I want to meet her and give her some rewards. "

Lou Ding looked at King Dongshan in disbelief. He had already told him about Xie Jiu's experience, but he still wanted to reward Xie Bian?

Xie Bian's heart finally settled down in his stomach. It was indeed true.

But to see Xie Jiuniang...I'd better not do it.

His face was filled with excitement, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying in a choked voice:

"Your Majesty, I have received many gifts from you. What Xie Jiu did was all within my responsibility. My Xie family will never take credit for myself! I cannot accept any more gifts from you, Your Majesty."

After saying this, he kowtowed again, with his forehead pressed against the ground, and was unwilling to get up for a long time.

The performance was very good.

Unexpectedly, King Dongshan said nonchalantly:

"Your Majesty's reward is out of your Majesty's heart, and this prince's reward is out of my heart. Moreover, I am also fulfilling Xie Jiu's last wish, so Deputy Envoy Xie should not refuse."

Xie Bian looked around and said shamefully:

"Xie Jiu is my youngest son. His mother... is one of my concubines. She was originally a village girl, very vulgar, and she really didn't dare to meet a person of such noble status as the prince." In order to increase credibility, he emphasized:

"And after she heard that Xie Jiu had died in the line of duty, she became mentally unstable. The prince still..."

It is inconvenient for a mistress without an identity to meet people, let alone a crazy mistress, which is even more inconvenient.

He wanted to shirk responsibility and didn't want anyone to see Xie Jiuniang's current situation.

King Dongshan interrupted his excuse:

"In that case, I should go visit her in person. It was because of me that she lost her son. I will definitely do what I promised Xie Jiu."

King Dongshan spoke in a firm tone, showing no sign of giving up.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Xie Bian had to agree although he was reluctant. King Dongshan straightened his clothes and said:

"It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. Let's do it now. I hope that Chief Lou has no objection to delaying Deputy Envoy Xie's time for a while."

Lou Ding is Deputy Envoy Xie's superior. Greeting him is considered as a formal request for leave from Deputy Envoy Xie, and it is also a full respect for Lou Ding, the leader of the secret guards.

Lou Ding naturally understood that even if King Dongshan wanted to take Xie Bian away directly, he could do so.

He said hurriedly with great fear:

"I dare not. I have no objection at all. Your Majesty is considerate of me. This is our blessing! Thank you, Deputy Envoy, for teaching such a loyal person. It is really admirable.

I believe that he must have set an example and taught by words and deeds in his daily life to cultivate such an outstanding talent. "

Even though they may stab you in the back, they still have to flatter you commercially on the surface.

Lou Ding understood that the King of Dongshan must have some plans. Although he didn't know what the prince was going to do specifically, he would definitely not go wrong if he followed his instructions.

After all, in this officialdom where people's hearts are unpredictable, sometimes, going with the flow is a kind of wisdom.

King Dongshan nodded with satisfaction and said to Lou Ding:

"Well, what you said is very true. The people that Deputy Envoy Xie has taught must be loyal and devoted. I am in need of people right now. I heard that Deputy Envoy Xie's son is working in the secret guard department. Please transfer one more person to my side."

Lou Ding: "Ah! Yes, yes! It just so happens that Xie Qi just came back from abroad. I will bring him to you for review tomorrow. You can stay if you are satisfied."

Poor Xie Qi just escaped death. I hope he won’t follow in Xie Jiu’s footsteps when he goes to King Dongshan.

Xie Bian always felt that things were developing in a strange direction.

However, he was also happy to see Xie Qi transferred to King Dongshan. He was just a bastard, and any one of his superiors who could please him would bring him benefits.

So he quickly expressed his position:

"It is a great fortune for my son to be able to serve by your side. I will definitely ask him to be as loyal to his master as Xie Jiu. Protect the master wholeheartedly."

Lou Ding curled his lips secretly, you want him to be like Xie Jiu, and use his life to exchange for more benefits for your Xie family.

Despicable and shameless! The villain succeeds!

King Dongshan looked very satisfied with Lou Ding and Xie Bian's ability to see the situation, and stood up to go see Xie Jiuniang.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xie Bian had to take King Dongshan to the courtyard where Xie Jiu once lived.

Lou Ding narrowed his eyes, looking at the back of the last person who walked out, thinking to himself, Xie Bian seemed to always want to refuse just now, this was really too abnormal!

He really wanted to go and see what was going on, so he pretended to be diligent in leading the horse for King Dongshan and served him attentively like a servant.

The servant whose job was taken away from him was puzzled. Why did this man in official uniform always take away his work?

Then what is he doing?

The servant was so anxious that he was scratching his head and running around in circles, fearing that the job he had worked so hard to get would be replaced by someone else.

As expected, jobs in the palace are in high demand.

When Xie Bian saw Lou Ding following him, his face turned even uglier. These two had been trying to show off to each other for a long time.
