"You see, you have been staying at home these past two days. Occasionally you go to the execution office and come back early, smelling of alcohol every time!"

Zhao Sangxin frowned and said in a reproachful tone.

"It's okay."

Zhao Cuo smiled and put a dumpling into Sister's bowl.

"Sister, aren't you going to Xunshan Academy today? Eat and leave as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about me as an adult."

"After I leave, you are going to invite those two colleagues to drink wine again, right?"

Miss Zhao was a little annoyed and raised her hand to knock him on the head.

"Stop pretending here. Can't I tell if something is wrong with you? What do you mean by keeping it in your heart and not saying anything?"

"Nothing really happened."

Zhao Cuo said helplessly.

"snort!"

Zhao Shangxin's eyebrows stood upright.

"You said you have nothing to do, that means you have a lot of free time today? Then go to the academy with your sister. It will be beneficial for you to listen to Da Ru's lectures!"

"No, no, no!"

Zhao Cuo waved his hand quickly. He didn't want to be dragged to class for no reason. A place like an academy was not suitable for him.

"Today is the monthly public lecture of Xunshan Academy. Saints may also come out to preach and teach. Maybe this trip can solve any doubts you have in your mind."

Zhao Shanxin insisted.

"That……"

Seeing his sister's determined face, he couldn't refuse.

"I really don't have anything to do today, so I just want to go out for an outing with my sister. I should be able to return home before dark, right?"

"Xunshan Academy is just outside the capital. It's only half an hour's drive there by carriage. You should be able to come back in the evening."

"Then let's go."

After breakfast, the two siblings drove to the world-famous Xunshan Academy.

"Sister, you are the only female student in the academy. No one dares to look down on you, right? If so, I will take care of it for you."

Young Master Zhao was speaking menacingly on the carriage.

"Let's see what you can do."

Zhao Shanxin rolled his eyes.

"Those who can enter the academy to study are all talented people with excellent academic performance. Many ministers in the court have studied here. How can anyone come to bully a woman like me?"

"Everyone knows that Xunshan Academy looks down upon my daughter's family."

Zhao Cuo deliberately acted cynical.

"That's the thing, but the teachers and classmates in the courtyard treat me very well. Don't talk nonsense when you get to Xunshan later."

Zhao Shanxin stretched out her jade hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"How do you treat me?" Mr. Zhao was stunned when he heard this, "Sister, do you have a sweetheart?"

"So what if I have it?"

Miss Zhao rolled her eyes charmingly. Her dignified and delicate oval face was very ladylike, making people want to come up and take a bite of her delicate cheek.

"It turns out that the purpose of my trip is to declare my sovereignty over you, sister, to the fellow apprentices in the academy."

Zhao Cuo said seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

You Xin poked his forehead with a headache.

"There will be some high-ranking officials from the DPRK and Central Government coming to attend the class today, but you are not allowed to mess around."

"There is one in front of my sister."

Zhao Cuo thought for a while and said the truth.

"You, a humble official, are more or less humble."

Zhao Shanxin said angrily.

"Well……"

Inspector Zhao realized that he had not told his sister about his identity as an imperial minister, so he had to give up the argument and stay with her as an ordinary person for the time being. The only thing that would make him willing to reveal his identity was to cause hatred for the female devil.

.

"arrive."

The carriage stopped at the foot of a huge peak on the outskirts of the capital. Zhao Cuo got out of the car first, and then helped his sister down.

"Senior Sister Zhao!"

Xunshan Academy, which is full of students and plums, was crowded with people this early in the morning. The carriage of the Zhao siblings was even inconspicuous, but as soon as Zhao Shanxin walked out, a young student came over.

"It's Junior Brother Sima."

Miss Zhao smiled reservedly.

"Senior Sister, you have been away from the mountain for more than a month. Are you going to stay in the academy for a while when you come back this time? I don't understand some scriptures and I want to ask you for advice."

Zhao Cuo yawned as he watched this student, who was about the same age as him, getting close to his sister. Of course he had no problem with just talking politely, and he was minding his own business, looking at this holy place for scholars in the world.

"I just brought my younger brother here to listen to the teachers' lectures this time. I will go down the mountain in the evening. If I don't understand anything, I should ask my teacher for advice."

Miss Zhao graciously declined.

"so……"

The young student was a little disappointed for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Cuo beside her, smiled and said with a cupped hand:

"Sima Hengzhi has met Mr. Zhao."

"You're welcome."

Zhao Cuo felt a little uncomfortable hearing the surname "Sima".

"My grandfather is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he has worked with the Duke of Guo for many years. We should keep in touch with each other more often."

Young students try to get closer.

'Is that old man who caused trouble for my people in Chaotian Palace your grandfather?'

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly without changing his expression, and then took his sister's hand. This behavior was fair and undisguised.

"you……"

Junior Brother Sima opened his eyes in disbelief. Young Master Zhao also felt something was wrong for a moment, so he changed the hand holding to interlocking fingers.

"Weigh it."

An old voice suddenly came over, and Zhao Cuo subconsciously turned his head to look, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Grandpa."

The young student forced a smile and turned around to greet the approaching old man.

"That's Sima Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhao Sangxin lowered her voice and said to his younger brother. At the same time, he glanced at his hand that was being held. His face was slightly red but he didn't say anything.

"I know."

Zhao Cuo nodded, and then seemingly unintentionally opened the hem of his coat, revealing the decorative long sword hanging on his waist.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"This is a high-ranking member of the imperial court, and he can be regarded as your superior. We should go over and pay homage to him."

As Zhao Sangxin said this, he was about to pull his younger brother over, but unexpectedly, the Minister of Punishment came over on his own initiative and raised his hand to bow with a warm face.

"I've met Inspector Zhao."

Sima Yu smiled on the outside but was already scolding in his heart.

'You are so arrogant because of your favor! You are really an unscrupulous person! The empress gave Shang Fang a sword and you still hang it on your waist as a sword?'

This is the first time that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice has seen this kind of operation. Any official who has had this honor in the past has not regarded this symbol of imperial power as his ancestor. When he wanted to use it, he had to say "please give me the sword" with great fanfare. If you don't see the supreme token, you can't ignore it.

, he would not come over to salute this doll.

"Don't dare."

Zhao Cuo said it in an understatement, but he didn't even return the favor and nodded without any dignity.

‘Huh?’
