When the rooster crows, it's not yet dawn.
Mr. Jiang was alone early in the morning, carrying cakes and morning tea, and entered the Wangtiantai to visit the prison.
The people imprisoned in Wangtiantai were all felons, but Scar Laoliu turned a blind eye and let them go.
Moreover, Jiang Gaoyi, the Minister of Punishment, is now his direct superior.
Zheng Xiu was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Gaoyi who came to visit the prison with breakfast.
In his impression, Mr. Jiang should not be so understanding of human nature and sophistication.
Originally, Zheng Xiu was worried about not having breakfast this morning.
I never expected Mr. Jiang to be so sensible now.
I don’t know what happened that changed Mr. Jiang’s upright temperament.
Zheng Xiu knew why in the next second.
"Master Hou!" Jiang Gaoyi was startled when he saw the small bungalow-style prison on the rooftop at first, but then he remembered Zheng Xiu's actions in the underground prison, and suddenly understood, and he was full of emotions in just three or two steps. , weeping with grief: "Jiang, I'm sorry to the Marquis! In the past, Marquis Zheng helped the Marquis in times of need, and recommended Jiang in front of the Holy Lord, regardless of past grievances. The Marquis is deeply affectionate, and Jiang should have gone through fire and water to repay his kindness for the Marquis! But! now……"
Mr. Jiang paused and felt sad. He covered his face with his sleeves and sighed heavily: "Jiang is unable to wash away Mr. Zheng's grievances!"
It looks like he really came to visit the prison.
It seems like he changed Jiang Gaoyi by sending some money?
Zheng Xiu was a little moved. Logically speaking, if Jiang Gaoyi really wanted to talk about something, he could just send someone to send a message. He had just been promoted to the post of Minister, when his official career was prosperous and he was coveting the throne of prime minister. But now he is desperate and comes to prison alone. It is easy for him to get some bad luck and affect his future.
Jiang Gaoyi had just been in prison not long ago and was very familiar with this environment. He stood in the prison with a look of nostalgia and sadness.
Jiang Gaoyi was full of emotions, and after a brief exchange of greetings, he took the initiative to express his feelings.
He said that Zheng Xiu had been wronged, and someone else must have framed Princess Yurun's case. Now that he had some clues, he would be able to clear Mr. Zheng's name and the Zheng family's name in a few days.
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he immediately felt that the cakes in his mouth were tasteless. He quickly said that Mr. Jiang should not be so anxious, check carefully, check slowly, and then talk about it.
Mr. Jiang didn't know that Zheng Xiu was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. When he heard this, he mistakenly thought that Zheng Xiu was worried about losing his official title, and he was even more moved.
"As expected of General Zheng's bloodline, he is extremely righteous and highly respected! In the past, Jiang mistakenly thought that Lord Zheng was as immoral as an ordinary profiteer. He was really blind! He was so blind!!" Mr. Jiang felt sad and blamed himself, and immediately "Other departments" will report the case of Princess Yurun for review overnight.
Zheng Xiu secretly thought that it might be Feng Bei who took the case away.
Did Feng Bei find out anything?
Zheng Xiu was curious and planned to ask again later.
Regarding Ye Weiyang, Jiang Gaoyi did not dare to mention anything more, but what Jiang Gaoyi said next made Zheng Xiu think twice.
"Are you saying that Yuwen Youde, the secretary of the Libu Kao Company, who died suddenly and unprovoked at night, made a verbal matchmaking agreement with the Jing family to take Jing Xuemei, the Jing family's only daughter, as his concubine?"
Why do people always keep an eye on my girl?
Doesn't this make me, Zheng Xiu, suffer the stigma of "taking away wives and concubines" again?
Zheng Xiu wondered.
But in this era, marriages between officials and businessmen were not uncommon. Even though Jing Xuemei has fallen into prostitution, she is quite famous in the city. She convinces people with her superb skills and does not sell her body. She is still innocent. This is a fact that everyone knows.
And that Yu Wen Youde was only twenty-eight years old, young, promising, handsome and romantic. He didn't really want to marry the girl in heaven and earth, but as long as Jing Xuemei redeemed herself and returned to the identity of the eldest daughter of the Jing family, she would be a good match. Already?
As for heaven and earth, let her leave home and go out to experience.
Yu Wen Youde had never even seen Jing Xuemei's true face during his lifetime. The Jing family had only one daughter, and the two old people in the Jing family could not have any more children. Logically speaking, Yu Wen Youde only had to let Jing Xuemei have a few children, and one of them would be adopted. To the Jing family, it’s not Yuwen Youde who has the final say over the Jing family’s wealth?
The Jing family also wanted to take a shortcut to the officialdom, so the marriage between the two families was a happy event for everyone.
Jiang Gaoyi lowered his voice and said, "I wonder if Lord Hou has never doubted Jing Xuemei?"
Before leaving, Jiang Gaoyi's words made Zheng Xiu fall into deep thought.
Jiang Gaoyi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came and went in a hurry, taking away the domestic garbage from the cell.
Before leaving, Zheng Xiu asked what he and Lao Wei had talked about that day. Jiang Gaoyi's expression changed drastically and he cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, saying that he did not dare to speculate on His Majesty's intentions, as he did not know.
Jiang Gaoyi seemed to be a different person, and he gradually understood the officialdom.
After Jiang Gaoyi left, Zheng Xiu tidied his clothes and went to the toilet.
Zheng Xiu also knew that the top priority now was to open up the [Xiangu Temple] first, but he couldn't ignore someone who was causing trouble here.
You have to sit in this prison, but what Zheng Xiu wants is to sit peacefully as if on vacation, instead of being hung up on some weird charges. Everything must be under control.
Before dawn, Zheng Xiu entered the prison of his heart and acquired the characteristics of a "bad boy".
Following Feng Bei this time, there was no need to worry too much about safety. Zheng Xiu thought for a moment and decided to make a reasonable combination. First, he could protect himself, second, he could gain experience, and third, he had to fit in with Zheng E's identity and pretend to be his son thoroughly.
After thinking about it, Zheng Xiu equipped [Evil Boy] with the following characteristics:
[Inspiration (little attainments)], [Boxing skills (a little understanding of the subject)], [Provocation (climbing into the palace)], [Intuition (climbing into the palace)], [Pailing Dragon’s Eighteen Slashes (climbing into the palace)].
Zheng Xiu didn't know what he would encounter in the [Fairy Girl Temple], but Zheng Erniang suffered from a thaumaturgic disease, so it was expected to be related to those weird and weird things. [Inspiration] can be said to be a necessary trait.
Needless to say, [Boxing] and [Eighteen Coiling Dragon Slashes] are dangerous and unpredictable in the ghost world, and the output characteristics are essential.
[Intuition], a life-saving quality, a must-have.
As for the last trait, Zheng Xiu initially wanted to lead [Reconnaissance], but he thought that Feng Bei was Ye Weiyang’s top player, so bringing him in as a Reconnaissance Officer felt a bit like trying to do what he did best, and the experience level of [Provocation] increased quickly.
If... we use Feng Bei to brush it.
Zheng Xiu did not struggle for too long with the choice of traits. He had unlocked [Station Station] and anchored Fengbei. He could move quickly at any time. If there was a problem, he could just come back and switch.
There are always more difficulties than solutions, so don’t get too entangled.
Taking advantage of darkness, the villain strikes out.
When the evil boy first appeared, the raven in the sky panicked for a moment.
Zheng Xiu raised his head and took a look. The evil boy quickly flew out of the cell in the form of Ah Piao, and the raven regained its composure.
After two [fugue] trips, the raven's reaction made Zheng Xiu understand that the raven would be disturbed only when the main body and the incarnation appear together.
If they are separated, they will not trigger the alarm of the raven flock.
The raven flew away without any reaction. Zheng Xiu easily sneaked back to Zheng's house.
Before leaving, he clamped the door with a piece of hair and returned to the room. Several small mechanisms hidden in the door and windows were still there. Zheng Xiu made sure that no one sneaked into his room in the middle of the night.
It seems that he still has a certain dignity when he takes on the identity of young master.
At dawn, Zheng Xiu pretended to wake up from a deep dream, opened the door and welcomed the dazzling sunshine.
The new servant has already been waiting outside the door to help the young master undress and wash up.
Since Er Niang became seriously ill, many of the Zheng family's businesses have been left unattended, which has been affected to a certain extent. Even the heaven and earth have put up signs saying "The owner is happy, temporarily closed". As a result, many girls, cooks, and seamstresses worked part-time as servants in the Zheng family. The Zheng family has rarely seen such liveliness.
Zheng Xiu told Qing Shisan that he wanted to go out of the city with Feng Bei.
Qing Shisan wanted to follow, but Zheng Xiu ordered Qing Shisan to stay in the city. Now that everything is unclear, Master Zheng's most trusted Qingpi is needed here to take charge.
One is to lead the brotherhood to protect the Zheng family, and the other is to use clairvoyance and ears to inquire about news, especially news that is difficult to spread in the palace.
Qing Shisan agreed repeatedly, obviously he didn't really want to go.
No one wants to get close to the legendary Shangxian Sanfengbei, not even Lian Qingshisan.
After repeatedly agreeing, the young master gave a quiet instruction, but Qing Shisan was so shocked that he choked on a puff of spicy cigarette.
"Ahem... Young Master, are you saying that you are secretly building a dungeon under the Zheng family?"
Qing Shisan always felt that he didn't listen carefully, so he picked his ears hard while repeating the young master's words.
