Xu Zhiqiong came to the mansion outside the city and saw Qian Limu making tea for the old Han Wusi.
"Fourth Master, what do you think of the heat of this cup?
Fourth Master, isn’t this tea of good quality?
Fourth Master, you can just drink it for now, and I will treat you with good tea next time!"
How is it appropriate for a person of the fifth rank to have a long history and to show filial piety to a mortal official of the ninth rank?
Xu Zhiqiong called Qian Limu aside: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Qian Limu lowered his voice and said: "This old man is very bad, bad at things, and good at causing trouble. A few days ago, I asked him to light a fire for cooking, and he almost burned down the house. I asked him to go out to collect firewood, and he opened the big door at the entrance of the yard. The tree was cut down. There are many rules in Yelang country, and they don’t allow trees to be cut down casually. He made such a fuss and almost brought in the official."
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Since you are causing trouble, you should be severely punished!"
"Punishment? What if I hit this old bone and hurt my life? But this doesn't count as harming a fellow comrade? If I scold him, he won't take it seriously, and he will have to do bad things in the future.
Your wife has also suffered a lot from him. I saw that the old man is not an ordinary person, so I just coaxed and persuaded him not to cause trouble."
Qian Limu knew how to read people, and his judgment was quite accurate. He knew from the beginning that Xu Zhiqiong was not a mere mortal, and took care of him everywhere.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Wu Si, still angry. Qian Limu quickly changed the subject: "Brother, how is the construction of the Evil Punishment Department over there? Since it is a rebuild, it probably won't cost a lot of money."
"Yes, spend, spend, it won't cost much." Xu Zhiqiong suppressed his sobs and glanced at the judge in the courtyard.
If he couldn't light up the magic eye, he also prepared two pieces of silver to let Qin Yan and Fu Ji find a way to delay him for a few more days.
Fu Ji moved step by step to the candlestick and prayed to the candlestick for a long time.
Maybe that guy didn't let me enter the judge's path.
But once the divine machine eye lights up, it will reveal the position of Judge Qiancheng.
Qin Xulan closed his eyes, nodded and said: "Master Shangshu, remember every word of what I said today. If you break your promise, you will regret it."
Fu Ji took the letter and glanced at it. Bi Zongshi asked him to go out to test the Divine Eye Pavilion again.
He seems to care about everything.
Of the more than a hundred judges, 30% were studying the power of imagery in the courtyard, while the rest were out looking for crimes.
Tong Qingqiu took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong, saying: "Take one pill and within three days, you will have runny nose and cough, which is the same as typhoid fever."
I can't explain it, not even a single sentence makes sense.
"Master Shangshu, I have done what you asked me to do. You must keep your word and let my sister go!"
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
No, you have to report to the Lord God and try to get a few more days of grace.
What should I do?
Why did you leave the palace?
…
Wu Si glanced into the yard and murmured: "This looks a bit like it did back then."
The moment he touched the candlestick, Fu Ji's heart twitched.
Why does he always summon Liang Yuyao?
Are you going to play?
hold on.
"He is five to four. This is a critical moment. However, in the past two days, he has been highly valued by Hong Juncheng. He can't get away from him at all times. If he stays by Hong Juncheng's side all the time, he is afraid that his flaws will be exposed."
Chang Decai lowered his head and smiled, and Xu Zhiqiong asked in a low voice: "Tell me the truth, who did you learn this tea art from?"
Bi Zongshi was despairing, and he was convinced that he was going to lose his official position.
No wonder no one spread the word that the Lord God himself came.
Qin Xulan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take your body as well!"
And he doesn't seem to care about everything.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Brother, you really don't understand the style."
Bi Zongshi held his breath and waited silently.
"This style is inexplicable," Tong Qingqiu shook her head, "I don't have that extravagant hope. I can just keep guarding your sister-in-law for the rest of my life."
Are you talking about those unimportant things?
There is still a chance to explain!
You have to choose your words carefully!
While Bi Zongshi was thinking carefully, Hong Juncheng suddenly grabbed Bi Zongshi's hair and slammed it into the candlestick.
The next morning, Bi Zongshi was fully prepared.
"Old Chang, you are good at your craftsmanship!"
Fu Ji's head was buzzing and he lay down on the bed.
I was coerced by evil people and became a judge.
After a long stalemate, Bi Zongshi softened his tone and said, "Miss Qin, once the Lord God inspects the Divine Eye Pavilion, I will let you sisters go immediately. Bi Mou has given you justice, and you should not embarrass Bi Mou again.
"
Well?
Could it be that the skill of finger-pointing and heart-piercing evolved from the art of tea?
Xu Zhiqiong was feeling strange when he heard Chang Decai say: "Master, I have something to discuss with you. Qin Yan sent a message yesterday. He said he felt tired and had no strength. I am worried that he is about to be promoted."
At about noon, Xu Zhiqiong had lunch in the mansion. Chang Decai made Xu Zhiqiong a cup of tea, tapped the teacup three times with his finger, and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong.
Tong Qingqiu grabbed Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Miss Pang, Marquis Yun and I are talking about something urgent. If you are not in a hurry, please come back later."
In the Divine Eye Pavilion, Qin Xulan spent two days to crack Niu Yuxian's ability to hide the size, and compared the drawings to modify the size of the candlestick.
Just as Xu Zhiqiong was about to leave, he suddenly saw Pang Jiafen walking into the house humming a ditty.
Outside the palace.
You shouldn't have left the palace, and you shouldn't have gone to the Divine Eye Pavilion that night!
Bi Zongshi's vision blurred for a while, and he felt that the black gauze hat on his head became lighter.
Hong Juncheng didn't say anything, and Li Guangan hurriedly went to find the imperial doctor. After a while, the imperial doctor replied that Qin Yan had indeed contracted typhoid fever and was in a serious condition, so it was not suitable to accompany him.
Or maybe she is hiding something behind her back?
The next day, Bi Zongshi sent another letter to Zhen'an Palace. Fu Ji replied, but it was still inconvenient to leave the palace.
Just when Bi Zongshi was irritable, a messenger came to report that Qin Xulan started making trouble.
The skinny and weak woman made Bi Zongshi shudder at this moment.
Fu Ji injected a burst of energy into the candlestick.
Hong Juncheng frowned and said, "Where is Qin Yan?"
He ordered people to send Qin Xulan to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and supervised him temporarily.
test?
Maybe he is deceiving me!
Has it really been repaired?
In fact, there is no need to pray, he just needs to light up his divine eyes.
"Can't the imperial doctor see it?"
"The founder of the Taoist sect? Can Rou Xingxu? But she used this point-piercing method in tea art?"
Bi Zongshi straightened his clothes and was about to go out to greet him when he saw Fu Ji walking directly into the stone room. His face was pale and there was no trace of blood.
Is this woman trying to trick me?
Bi Zongshi still did not dare to report rashly, so he wrote another letter and handed it to Fu Ji through Lei Guangjin, the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs supervisor.
He expected that Qin Yan and Fu Ji would come together. If they could successfully light up the magical eye, everyone would be happy.
"Imperial physician?" Li Guang'an was stunned for a long time. Eunuchs from Qiancheng Kingdom did not receive such treatment.
After receiving Bi Zongshi's report, Hong Juncheng waved his hand and ordered the chamberlain to come over.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "This is easy, just let him pretend to be sick."
Xu Zhiqiong took a sip and found that the tea was more fragrant than before.
"Typhoid fever," Hong Juncheng lowered his eyes, "Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look at it?"
…
Tong Qingqiu smiled: "This is not difficult, tell me what kind of disease it requires?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought about it and said: "Typhoid fever, if Hong Juncheng is afraid of catching it, he will naturally avoid Qin Yan."
Now he has lost five million tribute silver, the Shenyan Pavilion cannot be repaired, and Tunu will not spare him. He should be very worried, so why is he still thinking about such trivial matters?
Xu Zhiqiong became more and more confused about Hong Juncheng's thoughts.
How could Fu Ji have that kind of thought!
He couldn't even eat for two days!
"Qin Yan has contracted typhoid fever. Today, the old slave will accompany her on her behalf."
Bi Zongshi was thinking about how to report his revenge, when he suddenly saw the divine king leaving and returning.
Where were they assassinated?
If he hadn’t left the palace that night, he wouldn’t have been in this situation!
The knife edge was placed on his neck.
After leaving the hut, Bi Zongshi returned to his study and wrote a memorial.
In the small house, Qin Xulan's eyes were blood red and she was confronting a group of policemen.
Chang Decai shook his head and said: "The ancestor said that tea art came first, and then there was the fingering to penetrate the heart."
Maybe he won't be demoted to a commoner, but I'm afraid he will lose his position as minister, or at least be demoted to minister.
The candlestick felt something, and he was convinced that the candlestick had been restored.
The first one shown was the judge closest to him, and this nearest judge was Fu Ji.
He asked God to extend his stay for three days, and tomorrow was the last day.
Fu Ji shook his head slightly at Shenjun.
"Promotion is a good thing, why are you worried?"
When Chang De saw no one around him, he lowered his voice and said, "I learned this from our Taoist ancestor. These days, she often guides me in my practice."
Qin Xulan failed to repair the Divine Eye Pavilion?
Failed again?
Bi Zongshi dismissed the police, closed the door, and said to Qin Xulan with a stern face: "Miss Qin, don't you want to see Qin Xuxiang?"
Looking at the entire Shenyan Pavilion, Bi Zongshi didn't feel anything had changed.
The first two times, he thought it was to ease the relationship with Xuan Guo and eliminate the misunderstanding between him and Liang Yuyao.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside Shenyan Pavilion, but no one was heard.
The road to officialdom is so difficult, and getting promoted is as difficult as climbing to the sky. How can we just accept our fate?
Bi Zongshi said: "Miss Qin, don't worry, Mr. Bi will never break his promise, but whether the Divine Eye Pavilion is really repaired or not, I have to do a verification to verify that it is correct. I will definitely bring Qin Xuxiang."
Why did you just break in?
Take a gamble?
But if you lose the bet, your life will be lost.
He didn't care about Qin Xulan's threat, but tomorrow, the extension period would be up, and he had to give an explanation to the Lord God.
The two of them stood on opposite sides, and the last person who walked in was the Divine Lord Hong Juncheng.
Bi Zongshi quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Hong Juncheng said nothing, waved his hand, and asked Fu Ji to step forward to test.
Hong Juncheng was silent for a long time, then turned and left the Divine Eye Pavilion.
Xu Zhiqiong took the elixir and went to the main courtyard. He planned to visit Princess Yuyao, but Qianniang heard that she had been summoned to the Shenjun Palace by Hong Juncheng.
"The slave family also asked him to pretend to be sick, but Hong Juncheng is a careful person. He will definitely ask the imperial doctor to check. If he pretends not to be different, he is afraid of causing trouble.
I want to get some elixirs to make him really sick, but when he gets promoted, if he really gets sick, I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."
Qin Xulan said with tears in her eyes: "Master Shangshu, I tell you the truth, your yamen can't lock me in, I can walk out with just a lift of my legs!"
"Don't say it's an imperial doctor. Even if the diviner came, he wouldn't be able to tell."
I thought it was Qin Yan who came, but when I looked up, I saw it was Li Guangan, the deputy chief of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
what to do?
How to explain to the Lord God?
Fu Ji lit the candles one by one, raised his right hand and pressed it on the candlestick.
Xu Zhiqiong returned to Yuyao Palace and went to Tong Qingqiu to explain the matter.
coming?
Why do evil people coerce me?
I don’t know why, but after being plotted by them, I became a judge.
The person walking behind Fu Ji was not Qin Yan, but Li Guangan.
When Bi Zongshi received the reply, Fu Ji found it inconvenient to leave the palace.
Xu Zhiqiong went to the west courtyard, unlocked the magic circle, lit up the magic eye, looked at the positions of the judges, and found that there was nothing abnormal. He went to the yard and gave guidance to a few judges who were making rapid progress.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Leave this matter to me. I will find some medicine for him to make sure that the disease can be faked without hurting his body!"
After waiting like this for a long time, the divine machine eye was not illuminated.
He has become a bad judge. How should he explain this to the Lord God?
…
Bi Zongshi frowned and said, "If you dare to step out of the Yamen, wait until Qin Xuxiang's body is collected!"
Hong Juncheng sighed softly and told Li Guangan: "Go and tell Bi Zongshi and Fu Ji to go see Shenyan Pavilion early tomorrow morning."
Pang Jiafen agreed, lowered his head, and left in disappointment.
Bi Zongshi's head cracked, red and white flying.
The officials present at the Ministry of Industry, big and small, were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Hong Juncheng threw Bi Zongshi's body on the ground, shook off the blood and broken bones on his hands, and left the Divine Eye Pavilion.
Fu Ji was shaking all over and silently followed Hong Juncheng.
