He stood by the side and waited.
Pei Haoran poured the wine. He did not put on any airs and poured a cup for everyone before pouring himself last.
Zhang Ronghua stood up from his chair. Ding Yi followed closely behind. He held his wine glass.” The old rules. Whoever comes late will have to drink three glasses as punishment!”
The three of them drank three cups in a row and sat down again.
The scene was lively. They clinked glasses, drank wine, and chatted casually.
After a few drinks, Huo Jingyun got up and left with Sister Lu.
He’s from a family of generals,” Chen Youcai said.” He knows how to behave. Even if he’s an official, his achievements won’t be bad.”
The few of them agreed.
Ding Yi leaned his head closer to Pei Haoran. He pointed at these girls and smiled evilly.” How is it?”
Pei Haoran glanced at Zhang Ronghua. He was about to speak when Ding Yi glared at him.” Tell me the truth!”
“Beautiful!”
“You want it?”
“Yes!”
“Operation?” Pei Haoran shook his head.” Brother Hua won’t move. I won’t move!”
“Boring! ”
After thirty days of wine and five dishes, I’ve seen the dance.
Zhang Ronghua waved his hand and dismissed them. Ding Yi left with Pei
Haoran. As the door closed, they entered the main topic. He looked at Zheng
Fugui.” How’s the new position?”
“It’s very complicated! I have quite a few people here. They are the eyes and ears of others.”
‘ After climbing to this position, there are more or less people standing behind.
Without a backer, there are only so many positions. It’s difficult to stand out!”
“Give me some more time and I’ll be able to master this,” Zheng Fugui said solemnly.
Stop there.
“Has the new official been decided yet?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.
Chen Youcai shook his head.” All the factions want to get involved and further strengthen their own strength. The secret confrontation has just begun. Reaching a compromise is not as simple as it seems.”
He took the initiative to ask.
“What about you?”
Zhang Ronghua said,” The situation has been opened. Stylone’s influence in the Spirit Research Department has been eliminated. What’s lacking is experience. If we improve the power of the materials, armors, and feys we have now, we can almost be promoted.”
Lu Zhantang continued,” I was excluded from the investigation of Ren Shangxuan. They were afraid that I would make more contributions. If I became a Divine Envoy, I would enter the upper echelons of the True Dragon Palace. They couldn’t suppress me anymore. I’ve been idle recently. If there’s a task, I’ll hand it over to someone else.”
“Although the True Dragon Palace doesn’t have a good reputation, they have a lot of Dower. Some people can’t even sleeD well when thev let vou rise! Trv vour
best to find an opportunity to take the initiative to break out of this situation.”
Lu Zhantang nodded. That was exactly what he thought.
After the official business was done, they were about to leave.
Thump! Thump!
“Is Qing Lin inside?” Xu Xing’s voice came from outside.
‘ We’re here!” Zhang Ronghua explained.” Before we left, he said he would treat us to a drink. I didn’t expect him to come so soon.”
The three of them stood up from their chairs. Chen Youcai said, “We’ll go back first.”
“Cousin, are you free recently?” Zheng Fugui asked.
Zhang Ronghua knew what he wanted to say. He smiled.” Prepare some good wine tomorrow. We’ll go directly after the next shift.”
“Waiting for you!”
The door opened and the few of them nodded. Xu Xing came in and they went out.
Zhang Ronghua called Sister Lu over and served a new table of food and wine. There was also a pot of Qinghua wine. He poured a cup for him and asked,” Did you say anything?”
Xu Xing drank a mouthful of wine and shook his head.
He took the initiative to tell her the information he had found.
Zhao Chengjie was born in Jinzhou. His parents died early. His uncle was kind and ran a restaurant in the local county town. He took eight concubines, but still had no descendants. He treated them as his own children and trained them with all his might. He sent them to the Academy to study and supported them to participate in the imperial examination. He lived up to expectations and became a high school scholar. He gained a firm foothold in the capital. He sent someone to bring his uncle to the capital to enjoy his life and retire. However, he was killed by bandits on the way. No one in the Zhao family survived.
Zhao Chengjie was furious when he learned of this. He pressured the local government and sent troops to suppress the bandits. Although he had taken revenge, he could not be revived!
He had been in mourning for three years. In the fourth year, he married his wife, Lady Pan. Lady Pan’s father was the Imperial Censor of the Left Imperial Censorate at that time. He held a high position. Under his care, coupled with his own ability, he rose step by step until he climbed to the high position today.
When they separated and brought them back to the Scarlet Heaven Hall, they were tortured and interrogated. They didn’t even make a sound, let alone beg for mercy. They had no choice but to lock them up and order people to watch them.
From what we know, Zhao Chengjie is from the Shang Dynasty,” Zhang Ronghua said.” His current identity is fake. He was also responsible for the Zhao Family’s death.”
“Most likely!”
“Pushing open his mouth and finding out the intelligence forces hidden in the capital will be a great achievement.”
“Difficult!” Xu Xing sighed.
” The two men of sacrifice are martial artists, so they can hold on for a while. Zhao Chengjie is so weak that he can’t even bind a chicken. After a series of punishments, he lost more than half of his life.”
“Why did you plot to kill Ren Shangxuan?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.
“I don’t know!” Xu Xing spread out his hands.
It was not easy to catch the person. The case was about to be solved, but it was stuck at this stage. Feeling depressed, he held up his wine glass.” Let’s drink!” They clinked their glasses and finished the wine.
Zhang Ronghua had a strong memory and sharp eyes. He noticed the sachet on Xu Xing’s waist. He had seen it once when Princess Ming Yue had a meal in the old man’s courtyard. Now that it had appeared on him, he joked,” You’re lucky with women.”
Xu Xing was stunned. He followed his gaze and landed on the fragrance pouch at his waist. His expression turned embarrassed and he hurriedly covered it with his clothes.” You have good eyesight!”
“How far has it developed?”
Xu Xing blushed and stammered. After holding it in for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence..” There’s not a single sign of fate!”
