Chapter 2358 Strengthen my reputation

The narrow alley, which is two people wide, looks crowded even when walking alone.

Even if this person is very weak.

A pair of cloth shoes, a single coat, and a small hat to hide her long hair.

Single eyelids, slender eyebrows, thin lips and a cold face.

This woman's steps were light and slow. She was observing the environment at all times, as if she was seriously searching for something. However, there was an awe-inspiring chill that was hidden but not revealed.

The body is thin but sharp, like a very aggressive mantis.

You know she will not back down, but will move forward with determination.

This lonely walk didn't last long, because at the end of the narrow alley, a person came in.

The distant light outside the alley is blocked by human shadows, and the setting sun in the distance sinks behind the high wall.

The man's figure hung down, a bit thick, like mist like night.

The sound just spreads with the night gloom.

"Miss Dugu! You have been staying in Qingyang Town for a long time without seeing any movement. Today you suddenly came to Linzi. Why did you come? But what is the order from the master in Taixu Pavilion?"

The woman wearing single clothes and cloth shoes raised her eyes and clearly saw the official uniform of the person opposite and the green badge around her waist.

The Capital Inspection Office, the fourth-grade Qingpai head catcher, a master of Wailou Realm.

Compared to the tall figure of the other party, she looked really thin. But with just one look in her eyes, she showed a sharp look: "When did a small role like me enter the city and have to be monitored by the City Inspection Office? Is it an inspection?

Is the prosecutor too relaxed, or am I being targeted too much?"

She raised her head slightly, as if she was using her sheath to show off her skills: "Who in the world knows what kind of person my master is now? Is there anything I can be needed for? To say the least, if this trip really has my master's intention, what's the point?

Can you cross-examine?"

Having been with Zhu Zhu in Qingyang Town for many years, she is no longer what she used to be.

After Jiang Wang attained the pinnacle of enlightenment, she, Jiang Wang's only "devotee", became Jiang Wang in the form of Xiao Zhoutian. A person who was truly imprinted with the Red Heart Seal could display terrifying power at any time!

Fourth-grade Qing brand head catchers generally have the cultivation level of Wailou realm.

But she didn't care much about it anymore.

Once upon a time, an old person in the Youmai Realm was her lingering nightmare.

"Please forgive me." The young Qingpai head catcher lowered his head to express awe, awe of the old man in Dugu's mouth, but he did not give way: "That man's reputation is too high, his status is too important, and his influence is too great.

The world is in turmoil. If something happens in Linzi, we must make preparations early... The Capital Inspection Office has the responsibility of domestic supervision, and this is just a routine matter. It is definitely not directed at you, let alone that lord."

"You want to know why I'm here?" Dugu Xiao asked.

"If you can, you'd better say something." said the young Qingpai head catcher.

"otherwise?"

"Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to follow you."

"Do I have a criminal record?"

"Not as far as I know."

"This is how suspects are treated."

"You neither belong to Qi nor have power, so it is difficult to say that you are stable. We are guarding Kyoto and it is our duty to do so. Please forgive me."

These words were polite and courteous. He was really not a simple person.

"What's your name?" Duguxiao looked at him.

The young Qingpai catcher had sharp eyebrows. He just raised his hands when he heard the voice: "My lord, Yan Jing, is eighteen years old this year and is from Linhai County. If you have any dissatisfaction with me in the performance of my official duties, you are always welcome to go to the inspection office."

Give evidence."

The 18-year-old Sipin Qingpai can be said to be young and promising!

As time goes by, he will become a dazzling figure in the political arena of Qi State.

Linhai County... Lu Zongxiao, the former city lord of Tianfu City, is now the governor of Linhai County. In the past, Tianfu City became increasingly prosperous due to the full spread of the Taixu Illusion Realm.

After all, the Secret Realm of Tianfu comes and goes every twelve years, but people come in and out of the Taixu Illusionary Realm all the time every day.

Three days ago, Zheng Shangming had officially sat on the throne of the Capital Inspection Office - of course it was due to Zheng Shangming's outstanding performance, but it was also probably due to his father Zheng Shi's failure to seize the Zhanyu Army as he wished.

The emperor still had great trust in Zheng Shi. After all, he was the person who had served as the captain of Bei Ya for the longest time, and he was also the person the emperor used most easily. It could be said that he "won the emperor's heart deeply".

As for Yang Weitong, the previous captain of Beiya, he went to the Nanxia Governor's Mansion and will be fully responsible for the security of the old Xia land. It is considered a level position, with a slightly lower status, but he has more independent power and cultivation level.

There are no restrictions on the matter, and this matter is indispensable without the operation of his mentor Yi Xingchen.

These people are more or less related to the master, or in other words, they are vaguely related to the current Bowang Hou.

Years of experience in government affairs have given Dugu Xiao a keen sense of politics. The master is impatient with these trivial matters, so she is willing to worry about them.

I have been staying in Qingyang Town for these years, focusing on world affairs, and I have clearly seen how the old man's best friend, the fat man with a kind smile, gradually grew into a towering tree in this huge empire, and how he cast a heavy shadow.

.

The true hereditary princes of Da Qi are extremely powerful!

But this also means that his old man's enemy must also be a giant.

Therefore, Dugu Xiao was very cautious and never allowed herself to become a burden - as a personal maid who had followed the master for many years, she might be implicated in the master, and thus the Prince of Bowang.

"Yan Baotou! In the past, when the master was here, he took responsibility for the world and severely punished lawbreakers. You hang a green card on your waist and uphold the public spirit. What dissatisfaction can I have?" Dugu Xiao raised his hand and said: "I am coming to Zi this time.

Yulifeng, it has nothing to do with my master, but with the order of Mr. Zhu Sui - I can only say this much. If the Capital Inspection Office has any questions, you can send a letter to the Zhengsheng Hall of Qingyang Town."

Daqi Night Wandering God...Zhu Sui.

The imperial night watchman who has continued since the time of Emperor Wu to the present day. Although he has retired now, his achievements cannot be erased so quickly.

Upon hearing this name, Yan Jing had nothing to say.

He cupped his hands, said "Excuse me," and then silently retreated.

In the end, only Duguxiao was left in the narrow alley.

This is Linzi, this is Yulifeng.

The place where the famous scholar Xu Fang lived during his most depressed period.

Of course, the so-called "home" is a shack, a pile of withered grass, and an unkempt appearance.

Xu Fang, who had a heartfelt confession outside Qingshi Palace, has been buried in Ganma Mountain for some years.

The grass on the graves is not very tall, but every year during the Qingming Festival, someone always goes to pay homage and sweep it——

Many soldiers who fought with the master are also buried there.

Nowadays, there are no shacks in Yulifeng.

You could see homeless people sleeping on the ground and beggars chasing passers-by everywhere. They were almost relics of the old times.

Since Desheng Trading Company settled here a few years ago, built its headquarters on Qian Street and recruited a large number of workers, Yulifeng is no longer the poorest place in Linzi.

There are reasons for poverty, and there are reasons for chaos. The cost of running a headquarters in Yulifeng is much higher than that in other places. Many people don't understand why such a smart Bowang Hou would make such a choice with half the effort.

But Dugu Xiao understood that it was the master's decision.

The master won't say it, but just like when he saved her, he is not stingy with what he can do and doesn't care about anything in return.

The master is not the kind of person who gives out food and porridge, he is someone who is willing to give people opportunities.

Dugu was quiet for a while, borrowing a ray of dusk light to form a letter between his fingers.

There were only two contents written in the letter——

"Sir Zhusui has some past questions in his heart, and some of the clues are in Yulifeng. He ordered me to come here to find answers to history."

"A fourth-grade green brand named Yan Jing from the Capital Inspection Office stopped me in Yulifeng. He seemed to be very concerned about my master's affairs."

The master has unreserved trust in Bowang Hou.

So she had no reservations.

She knew very well that Bowang Hou's wisdom was far superior to hers, so she only told the facts without analysis.

Then she continued walking down the narrow alley.

The questions about Zhu Sui's past are naturally related to the past events of Emperor Wu's dynasty.

More specifically, it involves a female nun in Kurongyuan during the Emperor Wu period, and a book called "Ghost Pima" in a longer period of time.

Throughout the life of Emperor Wu of Qi, among the many confidants, there was one whose traces could never be erased. She was revered as the "Tianfei" and was very aloof in Emperor Wu's harem. This woman was very mysterious and was not recorded in the official history, but it was mentioned in some official records.

There are some sketches in the unofficial history.

Even Zhu Sui, a close confidant of Emperor Wu, only knew a little bit about her, but didn't know much about her - he only knew that she was stunningly beautiful and had a high level of cultivation. She was originally a Zen nun and was very influential in Kurongyuan.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Qi, Kurongyuan made great contributions to the country.

When Zhu Sui was appointed as the leader of the watchmen, he had enough authority and opportunities, but he did not pursue the doubts in his heart.
