In the end, Yan Jing did not agree to Di Renjie's solicitation. He was not stupid. He really became the chief secretary of Dali Temple. Not to mention that his salary was not much. It would be very difficult for him to give up his job. And it was not like he had no business, even though he was like Zuo Zhou.
There are very few big clients, but it is more enjoyable and free than entering the court system.
In fact, this is also a common thought among exiles. It is probably the impression they left on the Earth next door. Since you have the ability, unless you are determined to get out of a good situation in politics, don't enter the system to participate in it.
You go round and round and make yourself angry for nothing, but you still get no benefit.
Of course, if you just want to be rich and comfortable, you can take the civil service exam or something.
"Sir, these are the details you requested, and here is the bill!"
Di Renjie: "..." Taking a stack of drawing papers, Di Renjie did not study it on the spot, but took a look at the bill first, "I am also a Dali Temple minister after all. Is there any discount?"
The rigorous little faces were all squeezed together, "Sir, I am also in a dilemma. This price is very good. At most, I will give you a 10% discount!"
Di Renjie nodded, "Okay, 10% off! Now, I'll give you an account transfer certificate. You can take it to the supervisory censor Bao Zheng and Mr. Bao later. He still owes me money. He will definitely have more money."
Your money."
Rigorous was a bit confused by the result of the certificate, and was a little confused for a moment. He looked at Di Renjie and then at Zuo Zhou.
Zuo Zhou: "Bao Zheng, he is a famous character in the history of your exiles. How can he still rely on your money?"
"Oh, that's right!" Yan Jing felt it made sense, so he carefully put the piece of paper into his sleeve.
Di Renjie nodded with satisfaction, feeling more and more pleased with Zuo Zhou. You see, this is a good match for me!
"Since most of the characters in these two paintings are dead, even if they are not dead, there is no way to confirm. Now we have only one way to go, which is to go to Jiangnan Road." Di Renjie said and handed over the paintings.
Gave it to Zuo Zhou.
Zuo Zhou just subconsciously took it and suddenly realized something was wrong. Do you want me to go?
"As the Minister of Dali Temple, I am not only responsible for this one case. Yuan Fang is responsible for this matter." Di Renjie assigned the task very simply, but he did not let Zuo Zhou do it alone. After speaking, he looked at
I went to Zhuge Zhengwo.
Zhuge Zhengyi paused and said, "Tie Shou, please accompany Mr. Li on a trip. In the final analysis, this matter is also related to your brother. Don't act impulsively, and discuss it with Mr. Li more often."
"I'm going too!"
Qingqing suddenly spoke up, which made everyone feel a bit difficult to answer for a moment. From a logical point of view, there was no problem in going with Qingqing, but the key was that Zuo Zhou didn't trust her now.
"Can!"
"Um?"
Di Renjie ignored Zuo Zhou's doubts and made a decision directly. The two looked at each other. Zuo Zhou saw his determination and could only agree, but... "Sir, I left just after I came back. Is there something... missing?"
?”
"What?" Di Renjie looked innocent.
Just pretend to be stupid!..."Your Majesty's reward!" The key is to restore my identity.
"Why are you so anxious about this? Just think of it as accumulating merit. If you solve this case that shocked the government and the public, you will get even more rewards! By the way, don't you want to live in the house rewarded by Emperor Qin?"
Zuo Zhou was startled for a moment, thinking about the scenery of Taifu's Mansion, "Think about it!"
"When you come back, I will help you ask for a reward from Your Majesty."
"..."
In the end, Zuo Zhou couldn't resist the temptation of a house. Alas! Looking back on the time when he was still on the next door earth, even if he struggled all his life, he might not be able to buy a house within the second ring road of Beijing. Although he now has a house, the money is not enough.
It's because I took advantage of Ji Li Khan, and it's not my own ability. It's always a bit awkward. Well, good brother Khan, when I see Yang Wenguang, I will scold him for you!
Wu Qing still stayed at Dali Temple. Zuo Zhou, Zhuge Zhengwo and Tie Youxia came out together. The three of them were relatively silent. After walking for a while, Zuo Zhou asked a question.
"Master Zhuge, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
"If you're not sure, don't..."
"Are you sure that most of the people in that painting are dead?"
Zhuge Zhengwo pursed his lips, "I'm not sure. They didn't die in front of me, how do I know."
Zuo Zhou nodded and asked another very unflattering question, "Are you sure that the ruthless brother is really dead?"
Tie Youxia had already started to stare, and Zhuge Zheng's face didn't look good either, but considering that it was not far from Dali Temple, he thought it was a favor to Di Renjie, "Humph, I buried it with my own hands."
After saying that, he left and told Zuo Zhou from his back that I despise you!
Of course Zuo Zhou didn't mind with his face. He just asked casually. Since he had nothing to do, he just eliminated the most unlikely answer first!
"I'm back!"
Zuo Zhou went home, opened the door, and then felt a disgusting feeling rushing towards his face.
"You're back!"
"You don't actually need to answer." Zuo Zhou waved his hand to He Ran, dumbfounded.
He Ran didn't mind either, he just smiled and said: "The two of them were playing with Chu Chu in the house."
Zuo Zhou nodded and took the initiative to sit down in the pavilion on the side. "It's probably not good to see you here. What? Wei Jinzhong can't help it?"
He Ran nodded and said a little funny, "He was so angry with you last time. After escaping from the imperial capital, he went crazy. In just a few days, he directly summoned the sky thunder three times, and his skills were successfully promoted to the human list.
Perfect. At this rate, he will probably enter the Earth Ranking in less than two days, and by then, he will probably force his way into the palace!"
Zuo Zhou took a deep breath, fully expressing his amazement, and at the same time expressing his disdain for the system in his heart.
Realm is sometimes very imaginary, but sometimes it is very important. There is a big difference between the same levels. There are parallel imports like Dugu Yifang, and there are elites like Xiongba Dugujian. But if you cross a realm, then the lower realm is
It's hard to beat someone with a high level. If you succeed, you're considered to be extremely talented.
Especially the higher the level, the harder it becomes. Take the Earth Ranking as an example. I have never heard of anyone who can defeat the master of the Earth Ranking as a Human Ranking. Even if Wei Jinzhong is rubbish in the Earth Ranking, he is probably not a master of the Human Ranking.
They can easily defeat it.
So the question is, are there any masters in the palace who are in charge?
This is where I have to mention the so-called detection function of the system. Zuo Zhou has been prompted by masters on the Earth Ranking twice before and after, once when he faced Monk Jianchi, and once when Dugu Jian used Sword Twenty-Three. But this is a trap.
The system prompts you that there is a land ranking master within a hundred miles for you to seize the opportunity, but it doesn't prompt you if you don't meet it, so what's the point of detecting it?
So unless Zuo Zhou sees it with his own eyes or knows clearly from someone that there is a master of the earth rankings in the palace, this system will be the same as nothing, bah!
So the question is, is there one in the palace?
Zuo Zhou felt that it was quite embarrassing. He remembered that when an unknown person broke into the palace with a sword, so many guards could not stop him. Although he did not take action in the end, it also proved from a certain perspective that there was no master in the palace.
Furthermore, after all, Wei Jinzhong had stayed in the palace for so many years, and he was probably sure that there were no masters in the palace, so he took action!
Zuo Zhou was silent for a long time, "Okay, I guess someone will ask me to come together to discuss it tomorrow. I guess I won't be able to escape from this battle. By the way, Wei Jinzhong only said that he was going to force his way into the palace, but didn't say what happened next? You can't.
He, a eunuch, wants to be the emperor!"
He Ran shook his head, "That's definitely not possible. In the past few days, I found that someone had met with him secretly. He must have planned something. But that person was very wary. I couldn't follow him, and I was afraid that it would be hard to force him if I could alert him."
"Oh? What are its characteristics?" Zuo Zhou became interested.
He Ran briefly recalled, "The man's appearance is not good, he may have changed his appearance, but he is carrying a golden scimitar. You will know the details when you see him."
Zuo Zhou boredly picked up the teapot and took a sip. This kind of job of identifying people by weapons was not interesting, let alone someone who acted secretly. Changing his signature weapon was basically a routine operation.
"Okay, I will pay attention, and you have to be careful too. After all, you are so annoying. It would be bad if Wei Jinzhong gets upset and sacrifices his sword to you first."
He Ran was speechless. Although you were right, it seemed like I was beating you.
Boom, boom, boom, just when the two of them were speechless, there was a knock on the door.
He Ran paused for a moment, then clasped his fists and jumped away from the wall. Zuo Zhou stood up and opened the door. He didn't expect anyone to visit. He was investigating the case these days, so his friends probably wouldn't bother him.
Squeak, after opening the door, a gust of fragrant wind hit his face. Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment. He looked at the woman in front of him for a long time before he said with a smile: "You're not dead yet!"
A long sky-blue dress flutters with the breeze, and a thin umbrella doesn't look out of place on a sunny day. On the contrary, it makes you blame God for not letting down a drizzle to match the endless style.
Zuo Zhou raised his head, his slightly messy hair was tucked behind his ears. The charm made Zuo Zhou's heart seem to skip a beat, "You are worthy of being a princess. Your temperament is certainly not comparable to that of the two beautiful girls in the house.
"
Xiaoqing chuckled, "Don't let Xiaomei hear this, otherwise our relationship as sisters may end here. Won't you invite me in to sit down?"
Zuo Zhou got out of the way and before closing the door, he was keenly aware that a figure was disappearing at the intersection. Well, you see, He Ran and Chu Chu are really not suitable for meeting, so trouble is coming.
After the door was closed, Zuo Zhou turned around and saw that Xiaoqing was not in a hurry to see Axiang, but stood hesitating in the courtyard.
Zuo Zhou didn't urge him, "Let's talk." After saying that, he sat back in the pavilion.
"I'm leaving."
"Where to go?"
Xiaoqing placed the umbrella in the corner of the pavilion and said, "Let's go to Jiangnan Road."
Zuo Zhou was a little surprised, "Jiangnan Road? Are you going to assassinate that fake Yu?" Looking at Xiaoqing again, are you relying on your martial arts that are not even innate?
Xiao Qing shook his head, "I contacted Tian Zhan, the former general of Pei State, and he agreed to help me after learning that Zi Yu was a fake."
Zuo Zhou frowned for a moment, "There are conditions!"
Xiao Qing nodded, her tone getting deeper and deeper, "I will marry Tian Zhan as my wife."
Zuo Zhou was silent, this is really hard work!
"Have you really decided? Actually, if you are willing to wait..."
"No wait, this is the method with the highest success rate I can think of, and... you are in great prestige now, you shouldn't have any setbacks because of me." Xiao Qing said very decisively, looking at Zuo Zhou and seeing if
In the room far away, Xiaomei should be happily teasing her child at this time.
Zuo Zhou was a little depressed, "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow, Tian Zhan's deputy general Mo Laosan will escort me all the way to Jiangnan Road."
"You... wait a minute! Does this Mo Laosan... look like this?" Zuo Zhou said and took out a painting, in which a very detailed masked man in black is lifelike.
Xiaoqing: "..." You are covering your face, should I say it looks like it or not?
