Wang An placed his chopsticks flat on the bowl: "I'll go out and take a look!"
When they arrived in this courtyard, Zhou Dagu felt that everyone was one of his own. When eating, they all sat together without waiting. The two Zhu Niu brothers were both smart people. Even if they cared about it, they would not do it in front of the master. He said it out of dignity and slapped Zhou Dagu in the face.
Wang An opened the door, poked his head out, and took a clear look at the situation outside. He turned around and said, "Brother Gu, I'm an official. Judging from my clothes, I belong to the city guard!"
When the officer at the intersection saw the open courtyard door, he put his hand on his knife and shouted: "Hey! Who is that? Come here and conduct a normal census! Are your family from outside? I think you look very strange! Come with me." !”
When Wang An saw the official, he was inexplicably nervous. Before he could speak, a broad figure walked out from behind him: "This is Zhou Mingzhou's house!"
"Are you Young Master Niu?"
"Know me?" Niu Ruxian loves the military and hangs out at the border military academy. It is not a surprise that the soldiers guarding the city know him.
"The young one once brought you a weapon!"
"What are you investigating today?"
"It's not a matter of the Lotus Sect. Zhang Xuezheng was found in the moat outside the city a few days ago. Our Qingxue Mansion's moat is upstream in the city. The water in the small ditch of Duojia Lane will also flow into the moat. The captain asked us to be strict Check the houses by the moat to see if there are any strangers!"
Niu Ruxian nodded: "I understand, go ahead and get busy!"
The official bent over, with a flattering smile on his face: "Then you are busy first, the little one is back!"
The official shouted at the top of his voice to the small courtyard: "Hello Zhou Mingzhou, I won't come in to disturb you!"
Wang An looked at the flattering smile on the officer's face, and he suddenly discovered that there were things in this world that were more useful and easier for people to surrender than the sword in his hand.
Niu Ruxian strode into the courtyard and sighed: "It's still about the Lotus Sect. It seems to have stabbed the Lotus Sect's den recently. I even doubt whether I have entered the Lotus Sect's den!"
"They keep causing trouble. How can my favorite Zuihua Building be opened?"
Zhou Dagu gave him a look: "There are still ignorant children! Don't talk about these in my house! What are the officials looking for?"
Zhou Youran picked up the plate and entered the kitchen, leaving space for several people to talk.
Niu Ruxian picked up the last strawberry on the plate and put it into his mouth: "Zhang Xuezheng's body was found in the moat outside the city. There are many rivers in Qingxue Mansion, but the terrain in the mansion is high, and all the water circulates in Qingxue Mansion. , will all flow to the moat outside the city!"
Zhou Dagu pretended to be relaxed: "Then Zhang Xuezheng's case is determined to be the fault of the Lotus Sect?"
"It must be that Zhang Xuezheng has the Lotus Cult pattern on his body. Even if this incident was not done by the Lotus Cult, it still has something to do with the Lotus Cult members. Not to mention that Zheng Abing who died in Zhao Sihu's family also had a body-exploding pill on his body. It was obvious that he was a member of the Lotus Cult. There is a Lotus Sect in the city! If the Lotus Sect enters Qingxue Mansion, the Lord will definitely order an investigation!"
Zhu Jinwen was stunned for a moment and then said: "Double, I seem to have heard that Zhang Xuezheng and Zhao Sihu both have a grudge against Brother Zhou. They are both killed by the Lotus Sect. You will not be looked at by the old mother of the Lotus Sect." Now, she wants to help you vent your anger?"
"How is that possible!" Zhou Dagu felt guilty: "With the Lotus Sect, there will probably be a lot of wind and rain in Qingxue Mansion in the future!"
Zhu Xiaowu shook his head: "Every time the Lotus Sect appears in the light, there will be a bloody storm. I don't know what they are going to do when they come to Qingxue Mansion this time. I just hope that nothing big will happen! After all, the people are always the ones who suffer. !”
Niu Ruxian drank the wine in the glass and laughed: "Here comes one from the Lotus Sect. I will take one, young master. If you come two, I will take a pair. Don't worry, everything will be fine, Mr. Zhou... Hehe!"
Zhu Jinwen looked towards the kitchen, where Zhou Youran was washing clothes: "Your sister is so sensible!"
"You're not trying to take advantage of my sister!"
"I'm that person. We just want to ask you if you want to go to Zuihua House for a drink later!"
"Didn't you say that Zuihua Tower is closed?"
Zhu Jinwen's face showed a smile that every man would understand: "It's true that Zuihualou is not open, but the girls from Zuihualou haven't left yet. They are all still waiting to talk to me on the third floor!"
Niu Ruxian suddenly realized: "Brother Zhu is right! If the door is not open, it will not delay me from walking through the window! If I don't pay, it won't be considered a violation of the order!"
Zhou Dagu gave a thumbs up: "There are really two of you! Then I will send you off not far away!"
People come and go in Duojia Alley.
In Qingxue Prefecture’s Prefectural Mufu, people were leaving and returning.
Duzhou Mu sat in the mansion: "The Lotus Sect appears in the city again?"
"It seems that this is not a suspicion array set up by someone. What on earth is the Lotus Sect doing at this juncture?"
Sitting in front of him was a man with a mustache and a slightly chubby face. The man put down his tea cup and picked up the pastry to taste it carefully: "No matter what they do, they can't mess with our important affairs!"
"Zhou Mu, do you really believe that guy Zhou Dagu?"
"I heard from the second son of my family that when he was in Cai County, he had always been very quiet. It was only after he came back from Liangjieshan this year that he changed. If he hadn't read the sage's book and passed the county examination, I would have doubted it. Has this kid turned into a monster?"
"But, to be honest, this kid only started to gain enlightenment this year. Do you really believe in him and want to put all your treasure on him?"
Du Zhoumu shook his head and chuckled, put down the scroll in his hand and stood in front of the pavilion: "Can you write a poem about Mingzhou in Dafu?"
"I sent someone to find out. When the country's fortunes were rising a few days ago, no saints left Kyoto at all. Those great scholars were also studying quietly, and no one crossed Xiangzhou!"
"I am in charge of Xiangzhou's Great Seal. If a second-grade master comes, the Great Seal will tell me!"
"On those days, Zhou Dagu was on Liangjie Mountain!"
The pastry in Guo Fujun's hand was crushed by him. He looked up in disbelief: "Are you crazy? You don't think... yes! He is extremely talented, but at his age he can write Zhenguo poetry?"
Du Zhoumu stretched out his hand to use the catkins floating in the air: "Why not! You and I are both scholars, and no one can predict talent!"
"Do you know why there is no news about the national poem in the Confucian Temple?"
Du Zhoumu pointed to the table in front of him.
Guo Fujun stood up quickly and looked at the poems on the table: "Wonderful! Good! It's just the first few sentences..."
"Those old scholars in the court like to whitewash peace and will never allow such poems to appear, especially poems about national peace that criticize peace."
"What exactly happened on the Two Realms Mountain?"
Du Zhoumu shook his head and looked into the distance: "There are too many secrets in this Hundred Thousand Mountains. It's better that you and I don't know anything about it! The demon barbarians will not attack and win without great changes in a hundred years!"
"Now, our biggest enemy is in the court!"
"There's news from the court again. After next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as state shepherd again. The left prime minister wants to give me a false position, but I don't care. I'm an official! I'm not doing it anywhere!"
"But, I have been in Xiangzhou for so many years, and the people of Xiangzhou regard me as a parent official, but I have done nothing for the people!"
"I am not willing to give in!"
Guo Fujun sighed helplessly: "Let alone whether Zhou Dagu can do it, once you do it, your official career will be cut off!"
"I said, I'm not doing it! I just want to see how we do it!"
Du Zhoumu spoke softly: "Wind!"
There was a strong wind in the courtyard, and catkins were flying all over the ground.
He turned around and looked at the location of Zhou Da Gu's courtyard in Qingxue Mansion.
Laozhou Mu smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou, I would like to take you to Dragon City via Qingyun Road. I don't know if you can catch it!"
The sky is full of catkins, drifting away.
Du Zhoumu turned around and said, "How are you preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival Gala?"
"We have already made an agreement with Yan Beizhou! They will send students, and guards will be indispensable!"
Du Zhoumu nodded: "Every time the Lotus Sect shows up, it means that they are almost ready for their secret plan. Although they don't know their plan, it's still right to be more careful!"
Guo Fujun stood up: "Don't worry! I understand what you mean!"
"I have made an agreement with Lord Liao of Shimen Mansion in Yanbei Prefecture that he will send 3,000 people to escort these students when the time comes!"
"With these three thousand elite soldiers, no matter what kind of monsters the Lotus Sect is, I will keep them in Qingxue Mansion!"
"Dragon Boat Festival, Lotus Sect members, I'll organize it together!"
"I won't miss your business!"
Du Zhoumu nodded: "I leave the matter of Qingxue Mansion to you!"
"The imperial examination is approaching, and there's no guarantee that the left prime minister won't do anything wrong. I'm going to find an old friend and ask for a life-saving amulet from him!"
Guo Fujun glanced at the unused rice paper on the table. He rolled up the rice paper and dropped all the snacks on the plate into it. Seeing that Du Zhoumu didn't look back, he secretly put the rice paper package into his arms: "You are really awesome. I'm worried about Zhou Dagu, so I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going to deal with the aftermath of the Yang family's incident!"
"I'm leaving!"
Du Zhoumu nodded slightly. He stood in front of the pavilion and looked at the catkins in the sky, shaking his head slightly.
Immortal style Taoist bones are like an accomplished Taoist priest.
"well!"
He turned around and his eyes suddenly widened: "Huh? Where's my tea?"
