In the study room of Zhou Mansion.

The golden pig sat behind the mahogany table, squinting at Xifeng, half-smiling but not smiling: "Master, your acting skills are so good, how loyal you are to me on weekdays is just an act, right?"

West Wind: "Ah?"

The words of the golden pig were like a thunderbolt, hitting Xifeng who was still immersed in the role of the boss.

Wake up.

Xifeng complained endlessly in his heart and said quickly: "Sir, my loyalty to you can be demonstrated to the sun and the moon, and there is absolutely no falsehood."

Golden Pig smiled and did not dwell too much on this matter: "What do you think of the man wearing the tiger mask just now?"

Xifeng immediately said: "It's quite powerful. It's better than me anyway."

Jin Zhu said meaningfully: "If I told you that he was just a boy in a certain shop, would you believe it?"

Xifeng was startled: "How is that possible?!"

Golden Pig leaned his body completely on the chair and slowly closed his eyes: "Yeah, how is that possible?"

Ordinarily, people who have been interrogated by Mengji should no longer doubt themselves.

But the reason why Golden Pig continues to doubt is precisely because of this sentence "How is it possible?"

Chen Ji first helped Jiaotu and Yunyang overcome difficulties, and then helped him catch the Liu family. He even became friends with the prince and the princess, and even fell into the eyes of Prince Jing.

Is this something a young apprentice can do?

The key point is that the Secret Service's newspaper clearly stated that the concubine of the Chen family was dull and taciturn, but now, how can there be any trace of taciturnity in this trace?

Xifeng asked: "Sir, did you spend a lot of money to invite Mengji here just to interrogate him?"

Jinzhu casually replied: "I came to Mengji with the intention of interrogating the Liu family, but since everyone has been invited from Kaifeng Mansion, it doesn't hurt to interrogate one more. This person will not be unknown and will not be cleared until he is interrogated.

, I’m not worried.”

Xifeng asked curiously: "When do you plan to interrogate him?"

Jin Zhu thought for a moment: "After solving the Liu family's matter, immediately arrest him secretly and send him to the inner prison."

"clear."

The study became quiet.

Xifeng suddenly asked: "Sir, do you really have a grudge against the Liu family? Isn't it the Xu family who has a grudge against you?"

Jin Zhu leaned back on the chair and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who said that I have a grudge against the Xu family?"

Xifeng brought the teacup in front of the golden pig and whispered: "Lord Xuan She said it. This matter seems to have spread in our secret agent department, and someone asked me secretly a few days ago."

The golden pig did not take the teacup, and let Xifeng hold the teacup with both hands and asked casually: "What did the black snake say?"

"Lord Xuan She said that your family was originally engaged in maritime trade, and their goods could be sold as far away as Luzon, Champa, and Java. Later, the Xu family forced your entire family into corvee labor, and you were the only one who survived."

Golden Pig frowned: "Did he say how he knew?"

"I didn't say it." Xifeng looked at the golden pig quietly: "Sir, is this true?"

The golden pig finally took the tea cup and drank the tea in one gulp. He said lightly: "Really."

"Then why don't you go to the Xu family for revenge?" Xifeng was puzzled.

The golden pig stood up, put his hands behind his back and looked out the window: "Our inner minister, if I don't squeeze out the last bit of residual heat in you, I won't let you get what you want. I'm also waiting, waiting for him to allow me

The day of revenge."

"At that time, I will definitely go through fire and water for you in my humble position, and my heart and mind will be ruined!"

The Golden Pig sneered: "Isn't it tiring to show your loyalty all day long?"

“I’m not tired of it, I’m used to it!”

Jin Zhu turned around and looked at Xifeng: "For so many years, I have suppressed your promotion to Haidongqing. Do you blame me?"

"A little bit."

The golden pig was happy, and he suddenly sighed: "You are quite honest. Sooner or later, you will understand that when you reach Hai Dongqing's position, you will be in the eyes of the inner minister. What you will get then is not happiness, but pain.

.It’s good to be a pigeon-level spy, and the salary is quite good. You just have to work with your head in mind, and you don’t have to think so much.”

"Sir, are you telling the truth or a lie?"

"Get out."

"oh……"

Xifeng slipped out of the door, and Golden Pig sat back on the chair and slowly leaned against the back of the chair.

He picked up a newspaper and covered his face.

He told so many lies that sometimes even he couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

…

…

In the busy traffic, two secret spies were hanging far behind Chen Yi. They seemed to be connected to each other by two invisible threads, which could not be pulled apart no matter what.

Suddenly the crowd became lively, and a fast horse was seen galloping on the street. A man with a red belt around his waist shouted: "Chen Wenzong of the Chen Mansion, Jieyuan!"

Behind him, there was a young man riding a fast horse who also shouted: "Young master of the Chen family in Luocheng, Chen Wenzong, high school Jieyuan!"

"Young master of the Lin family, Lin Chaojing, high school Yayuan!"

"The young master of the Chen family in Luocheng, Chen Wenxiao, is the top economics expert in the high school!"

One after another, the 'winners' rushed to claim the title of Five Leaders.

The so-called "reporting to the Five Chiefs" means that the "Jie Zi" will wait in front of the Gongyuan early in the morning to wait for the rankings to be released. After the rankings are released, they immediately rush to report the good news to the top five. The first person to arrive at the Wukui's house will receive a heavy reward.

.

It can range from five taels to as many as fifty taels. For example, the lintel of the Chen Mansion must be worth a generous reward of fifty taels. Therefore, everyone is fighting for it, and there is a possibility of fighting on the road.

Chen Ji watched silently, suddenly feeling a little dazed, as if he had been in the kiln factory with cement dust the day before, and in the blink of an eye, the autumn weather was gone.

At a certain moment, he also wanted to sit in the academy with bright and clean windows and study carefree... Forget it, he couldn't learn anything about the classics.

Chen Ji smiled: "I'm better suited to bet with others."

At this time, the people on the street gave way one after another, and even the bullock carts were pulled aside, as if no matter how important the matter in this world was, they had to make way for the good news of Qiu Wei.

The two secret spies did not look at Jie Zi, but stared closely at the traces of figures in the crowd. But when the fast horses passed between each other, in just a breath, the fast horses galloped past, but they were no longer in front of them.

The traced shadow seemed to disappear out of thin air.

The galloping horse was like a sharp knife, cutting off the thread between them.

Half an hour later, Chen Ji stood at the entrance of Taiping Medical Center with two roast chickens in his hands, letting the crowds of people rushing to the morning market pass by.

He took a few deep breaths of air and rubbed the tired look on his face with his hands.

When his face softened, he smiled and stepped across the threshold: "Master, I'm back."

Next to the mahogany counter.

Old Yao was playing chess with someone across the counter. He heard Chen Ji's voice and looked up: "You still know how to come back? You can come back if you want, and leave if you want. You can rename our Taiping Medical Clinic Taiping Inn."

At this time, the man who was playing chess with Old Yao turned around and said, "Dr. Chen is back. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to wait for you!"

Chen Ji was startled.

The visitor is surprisingly the prefect of Luocheng, Zhang Zhuo!

I saw Zhang Zhuo wearing a rare casual Confucian shirt today, a fashionable corrugated black gauze hat with tassels, and brand-new soap boots.

The other party didn't look like an official, but more like a romantic figure going to a banquet.

Chen Ji handed the roasted chicken to She Dengke and asked in confusion: "Why is Mr. Zhang here?"

Zhang Zhuo patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "You made that thing called 'cement' and solved my urgent need. You should come and thank me."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "Master Zhang, there is no need to thank me, I am doing it for business."

Zhang Zhuo looked serious: "How can you not thank me? Do you know how many people freeze to death in Yuzhou every winter?"

"How many?"

Zhang Zhuo said: "In the 19th year of Jianing, there were 31 charity villages in Yuzhou, and a total of 33,421 bodies were frozen to death. In the 20th year of Jianing, the total number was..."

Chen Ji listened to Master Zhang counting the number of people who freeze to death every year. The more he listened, the more horrified he became. In Yuzhou alone, so many people freeze to death every year?

But I heard Zhang Zhuo say: "If we can build another batch of houses before the second snow falls this year, I think many people will die less in Luocheng. As the official of the parents of Luocheng, I should come to express my gratitude in person."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "It would be an honor to be able to do something for the people of Luo City."

He originally thought that after exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Zhuo would say goodbye and leave. However, Zhang Zhuo did not leave. Instead, he took his arm and dragged him to the chessboard: "Come on, come on, I heard that the prince said that your chess skills are excellent.

You and I can talk for a few rounds."

Chen Ji subconsciously looked at Old Yao. He always felt a little strange. Master Zhang suddenly came to the hospital and said he wanted to thank him, but he didn't bring any gifts.

After hastily thanking him, he didn't leave, but instead played chess.
