"grown ups.."

One mile away from the palace, in front of the main entrance.

Zhang Er also stopped the carriage, clasped his fists and lowered his head, looking at the sedan.

Going any further, the carriage will not be able to enter.

In the car, Zhang Feng glanced around and saw many ministers' carriages parked on the street near the palace.

Now it's morning time.

The ministers also chatted in twos and threes, or walked alone, and came out of the palace together and got into their own carriages.

"You go back first." Zhang Feng came out of the sedan, took out three gold ingots from his pocket, and handed them to Zhang Shu who was frightened but didn't dare not to take them.

"I won't go back to eat at noon. You can take this money and go have a nice meal with Master and the others. If the money is not enough, let the restaurant keep the accounts first, or trouble the restaurant owner and go to the cabinet courtyard to ask someone to pay.

"

"I..." Zhang Er thought for a few times and finally agreed.

Because he has followed Mr. Zhang for a long time and knows that Mr. Zhang is right.

Let them eat well, even if you let them eat well, it will not save money.

"Go." Zhang Feng walked toward the palace.

"Yes! Sir!" Zhang Er stood on the spot, bowed his hands and bowed respectfully, feeling not only loyalty, but also more gratitude in his heart.

Including the period of following Zhang Feng, he also understood why there is an eternal saying "A scholar will die for his confidant".

And as we enter the palace.

Zhang Feng walked straight towards the prime minister's courtyard.

When you get here, the guard will notify you.

Zhang Feng also entered this courtyard, which can be regarded as the prime minister's work place and temporary residence.

There are many such courtyards in the palace.

Most of them are arranged for the ministers in the three cabinets to facilitate their rest.

So as not to have to rush home every time you work too late.

Also waiting to enter the wing of the courtyard.

Zhang Feng looked at the Prime Minister who had just put the tea on the table, thinking that the monks would come over later, so without any unnecessary nonsense, he directly cupped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, I will take the imperial examination in ten days. I need..."

"I went to the cabinet yesterday and heard what Mr. Lin said." The prime minister motioned Zhang Feng to sit down, "Is Zhang Feng asking for a place for An Xiucai to take the examination?"

Zhang Feng looked calm and said, "Yes."

"Yeah." The Prime Minister smiled and shook his head, "That's it."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Zhang Feng also smiled and saluted the Prime Minister, and talked about the rain prayers in Hualiucheng.

Until half an hour later.

Ten miles outside the courtyard, in front of the palace gate, there was a sound of footsteps, it was the four monks arriving.

After Zhang Feng heard this, he thought for a few breaths and said nothing more.

The Prime Minister closed his eyes and picked up the teacup. He took a sip and noticed them, "Sword Sect, Wuzong, and two other elders of the Holy Sect."

"I estimate that these people are here probably because of my business." Zhang Feng sipped his tea without any worries, "I speculate that they may ask the Prime Minister to hand me over."

"Haha..." The Prime Minister suddenly laughed and tapped the table with his finger, "Master Zhang, please wait here for a moment."

The Prime Minister said, slowly standing up, "They are the envoys of the four holy sects after all. The deduction between you and me will also take some time. Why don't you let me go and meet them first, and send them away if I can."

Now when the stakes are high, we must not make any mistakes."

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is far-sighted." Zhang Feng put down his tea cup and bowed with his fists, feeling that the Prime Minister was right.

When the matter is important, the more careful you are, the better.

I just stayed in the room, so as not to wait for my enemy to meet and become extremely jealous.

Also wait until a cup of tea is finished.

When the prime minister heard the announcement from the imperial guard outside that the four elders had arrived outside the courtyard, he nodded to Zhang Feng and walked out of the house.

Wait until you get outside the house.

The door is closed gently.

The Prime Minister waited for ten breaths and saw the guards leading the four elders into the courtyard.

"Prime Minister, long time no see! Hahaha~" Elder Wei and the four of them clasped their fists, very polite.

Although in their previous chats in the small town, they expressed a lot of disdain and contempt for the Prime Minister.

But he was really face to face, facing a great monk from Dongxu.

It gives them some courage, but they don't dare to really show it.

"What are the elders here for?" The Prime Minister's smile remained the same, appearing approachable, but he also showed the majesty of the Prime Minister, quite like an elder facing a junior.

It was he who was chatting with Zhang Feng in the house, saying that he was approachable and could make big things into trivial matters.

But after all, he represents the face of the imperial court, and he will never learn to be groveling or submissive.

Even the current imperial court is still no match for the Four Saint Sects.

Similarly, there are four elders who know about this matter.

They looked at each other for a moment, relying on the support behind them, and without saying anything else, they directly stated their intention,

"Zhang Feng, the cabinet minister, killed our decent monk some time ago. His method was cruel and unspeakable. He was suspected of being a member of the devil's path. He has been wanted by our four holy sects..."

When Elder Wei said this, he looked at the Prime Minister and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please call him to the palace. The four of us will take him away today and bring him back to the sect for interrogation."

"The imperial examination is approaching, and the Daliang Kingdom is preparing for a grand event held every four years." The prime minister answered the question, "The cabinet ministers are also sorting out the internal affairs and are very busy, and have no time to come and meet with you Taoist friends."

"Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?" Elder Wei raised his tone slightly, "Are you trying to harbor a wanted criminal from the four holy sects?"

"Elder Wei, please pay attention to your words." The Prime Minister asked in a calm tone, as if telling the truth: "As the governor of the south, a cabinet official, and an imperial examination examiner, Mr. Zhang acted openly and aboveboard throughout his life, praying for rain for the people, and receiving incense from all people.

He is a beacon to thousands of students, how could he be the murderer Elder Wei calls him?"

"What a set of words." Elder Wei laughed angrily, "It's nonsense..."

"Elder Wei!" Elder Wu Zong interrupted Elder Wei at this time, looked at the prime minister, and said bluntly: "My sect's martial master promised that as long as the court hands over Zhang Feng, Daliang will be in peace for one year, and all evil will not invade. Prime Minister

But don’t realize that for one sinful person, you have ruined tens of thousands of people in the great country.”

"It's exactly what you guys said..." The Prime Minister suddenly became cold after hearing the threat from the elders of the Wuzong, "Then I hope you guys can please come back. After that, I will personally investigate this matter and give an explanation to the sect leaders.

.”

"What if you don't come back?" Elder Wei didn't move, "Is it possible that your court wants to become an enemy of our Four Saint Sects because of someone from a cult?"

"Prime Minister, please think again." The three elders of Wuzong also clasped their fists together and put pressure on the Prime Minister.

But at this moment, the door opened.

Waves of sharp sword energy swept across, cutting the void around the four people.

Zhang Feng appeared in front of several people, "Since several fellow Taoists say that I am a member of the devil's path, then you should give it a try. Let's see if I, Zhang Feng, dare to kill you."

The Prime Minister closed his eyes slightly, as if by default.

At the same time, a vast wave of spiritual energy emanated from his body, stopping the spiritual energy within a hundred meters radius and pinning Elder Wei and others to the spot.

If there is a big disagreement, it will be a sword fight.

Suddenly it was a matter of life and death, and the Prime Minister of Dongxu Realm also acquiesced.

When Elder Wei and others saw this, they no longer persisted. Instead, their expressions changed and they apologized repeatedly: "The Prime Minister has misunderstood, Mr. Zhang has misunderstood..."

The words fell.

Seeing that Zhang Feng and the Prime Minister were indifferent, the four elders Wei also looked at each other and prepared to retreat, waiting to discuss the matter later.

They didn't expect that the Prime Minister would make enemies of the four major sects for Zhang Feng?

Then it's not something they can decide next.

But Wu Zong and the other two elders of the Holy Sect left without hesitation and no one stopped them.

But when Elder Wei also slowly retreated.

Zhang Feng moved and appeared in front of Elder Wei.

"Farewell to Hualiucheng. I haven't seen you for many days."
Chapter completed!
