In the best guest room on the east side of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Xiaoxing sat drinking tea with his mouth slightly open, waiting for the maid who was peeling the grapes next to him to bring out the grapes.

The maid beside the bed was packing her luggage, her face full of reluctance. After thinking for a long time, she finally asked: "Master, do you have to leave? Isn't it not time to release the results yet?"

I can't bear to part with it. It's rare for a young master with handsome appearance, gentle personality and generous actions to appear in the house. He is also very likely to be the number one scholar in this class. He will leave immediately.

"Something happened temporarily."

No need to explain too much, Zhou Xiaoxing ate a few grapes, they were so sweet that he didn’t even need to spit out the grape skins.

Unfortunately, the days of such enjoyment are coming to an end, Zhou Xiaoxing sighed.

Thinking of having to face Ruyan every night again, I let out a long sigh. Showing off one's skills does not mean selling out one's body. There are beauties by the side every night, and one can only watch them from a distance.

The eldest maid reluctantly handed the luggage to Zhou Xiaoxing. She heard the first two sighs and felt happy in her heart, knowing that the master also couldn't let her go.

"Master, do you have anything to say?"

The eldest maid squatted next to Zhou Xiaoxing, holding her head high and looking at him expectantly.

Explain?

When I turned my head and thought about it, there really was.

"First of all, I met your master. He said that he is feeling ill and needs to take a good rest for a few days. If you know about this, I will ask for leave, right?"

It's not what she wants to hear, but it's okay, the next sentence may be.

"When I feel sick, I usually write a note in advance and hand it over to the Secretary of the Ministry of War on a day-to-day basis. I will hand it over to the Holy One on my behalf."

This way.

"If I haven't written a good note, what I mean is that when I saw your master, he was lying on the bed and had difficulty speaking."

The maid's face changed, she stood up and leaned over.

"Sir, I should have sent you out originally, but you said that my master is seriously ill and I have to take care of him."

He has such a good heart, but he is in the wrong place. It would be great to follow him.

"No, I've already seen the doctor. He's overworked. He just needs to rest for a few days. Don't bother him."

Zhou Xiaoxing picked up his luggage, turned around and asked, "You haven't answered the first question yet?"

"If there is no note written, just ask the steward to go to the Minister of War and deliver a message. The Minister of War will write the note and submit it to the Holy Emperor."

That’s okay too.

"Then you will handle it well?"

When Zhou Xiaoxing turned around, he asked politely, which was actually an order.

The maid didn't say anything. Zhou Xiaoxing guessed that she nodded, but he didn't see it.

"By the way, why is it Minister of War?"

Can’t six other books be used?

"My father is a classmate of the Minister of War."

Another classmate, this Minister of the Ministry of War is in bad luck. Never let future generations come to ask for help with tokens like half a piece of cake. Never do it in a dark and windy night, as it is easy for something to happen.

Zhou Xiaoxing saw a sedan at the door, belonging to Chang Kun. After saying goodbye to the maid, he got on the sedan.

"Sir Chang, it's a good idea to come out so quickly. Why don't you go back to the house and wait for me here?"

It's definitely up to no good.

"Haha, if Mr. Zhou hadn't gone to the prison to wake me up, I would still be in the dark. I'd like to thank you very much and I'll take you back to Fenglai Tower."

When Chang Kun laughs, the folds on his face push together, making him look particularly scary in the dark.

"Sir, if you have something to say, just say it directly. It's too troublesome to go around and around."

Don’t you just want him to help give you ideas to save your son?

Of course that won't work. He is a positive person with a strong personality, so how can he be with the villain?

It’s okay to use a few damaging moves.

"Young master Zhou is indeed the favorite to be the top scholar in this subject. He speaks straightforwardly. That's what I mean. When Bao Longxing comes to the capital, he will definitely not give up. Only in this way can I feel at ease."

Chang Kun stretched out his hand and pushed it into the air. The meaning was obvious, only dead people cannot speak.

"Easy to say, let him come to Fenglai Tower."

Zhou Xiaoxing's eyes showed a murderous look, but this person was from the same side, and both of them had their own thoughts.

"Explanation? Coming from a brothel?"

Chang Kun didn't understand that for someone as experienced as him, he had to choose a place where no one was around to kill, send a few more killers, and with a few blows, Bao Longxing would be dead, and then leave the body alone, and there would be nothing to do when someone discovered it.

Check it out.

If he went to a brothel, or the most famous Fenglai Tower in the capital, there would be so many people and fireworks that it would be the most suitable place for Tibetans. Wouldn’t this go against his idea?

Zhou Xiaoxing smiled faintly.

"Mr. Chang, the best way to kill people is not to send out killers. If you handle it well, it is naturally the best. A person who is not lucky will be followed by many hands. Mr. Chang is such an example."

Go on, I'm interested.

Chang Kun looked puzzled, but after a while, a smile appeared on his face.

He was an old fox, so he didn't expect that the younger boy in front of him, who was less than twenty-five years old, was more sophisticated. Then he felt a little in his heart. Fortunately, he was helping himself.

But what does he mean by helping himself?

Ignoring this doubt, he raised his eyebrows and waited for Zhou Xiaoxing to continue.

"Fenglai Tower is a mixed bag of good and bad, with all kinds of people from all walks of life. He, Bao Longxing, is here to reverse the case. He has no power and will be bullied to death in a minute. He can't come to the capital just because he wants to.

Within a few days, his self-confidence will be shattered, and he will feel that his whole life has collapsed, and then..."

"After that, naturally I no longer want to live."

Zhou Xiaoxing snapped his fingers.

He didn't say these words, I saw them all.

Bao Longxing, just to save you from such suffering, I traveled thousands of miles to the capital. The cynicism in the brothel will not crush you. To say the least, I really can't stand it anymore. Zhou Xiaoxing

I will take action.

"What if he can withstand it?"

He is truly a cunning person and has thought of every possibility.

"The old madam at Feng Lai House is named San Gu, and her name is just like her name. The third aunt of San Gu and Six Po is a mean person, and she loves to scold people. As long as you stay with her for one day, she will scold even those who are not sick and make them sick.

A person instantly becomes a dead person."

Chang Kun sighed, he had heard of the old bustard of Fenglai Tower, Liu Ruyan, who was the number one courtesan in the capital, but he had never looked at anyone who was not a high-ranking official.

If we can really take over her hand and deal with Bao Longxing, that's not a bad idea.

"If Bao Longxing is really not an ordinary person, it won't be too late to send out killers."

When he saw that Chang Kun was about to be persuaded by him, Zhou Xiaoxing quickly added.

"That's it. Nephew, I will send you back to Fenglai Tower right away."

Why don't you show it so obviously?

"Sir Chang, no need. I can just go back by myself. If someone from the court at Feng Lai Tower sees it, it will bring bad reputation to you."

Got it.

"Then I'll take you to a stop one street away."

This is possible, but I have to say that bureaucrats in feudal society were really good at doing things.

......

Guest room of Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice.

The maids were making the bed for Bao Longxing. After the eldest maid had done what Zhou Xiaoxing had told her, she rushed here and saw Bao Longxing and Bao Youwei eating fruits and cracking melon seeds. Except for the bottom of the table, everything else was clean.

You can see it everywhere.

We are all guests, so our opinions are so different.

I picked up the broom in the corner of the room and swept the floor in a very unhappy mood.

"Youwei, when do you want us to find Zhou Xiaoxing? I didn't expect that when we arrived in the capital, things went surprisingly smoothly. I thought the Minister of Punishment would drive us away."

Bao Longxing crossed his legs, thinking about Ati. At that time, he met Ati by the river. At that time, he was dressed as a woman and was attracted by her salty boss. If he hadn't been penniless, he would have wanted to take advantage of her.

Hang on, he won't stay in the acrobatic class.

Fortunately, Ati understands him and knows that he is a good official with a kind and upright heart who prays for the people. She eats and sleeps with him and makes wishes to the moonlight, protecting his young and easily injured soul.

Until Bao Youwei appeared, this love story that could be written into history and praised by future generations came to an abrupt end.
