The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

After saying this, Zeng Wenyu and Wang Min said goodbye and left, while Wang Min stood there, not knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't think about it for long before leaving.

Zeng Wenyu returned to the room assigned to him. It was not until the evening that he came out of the room when he heard housekeeper Jian knocking on the door.

The evening banquet was very lively. Not only Feng Kan and his wife came, but also many officials in important positions in the city, as well as many big businessmen and chambers of commerce. This so-called apology banquet was actually just arranged by Wang Ke and Feng Kan to allow people close to them to meet Zeng Wenyu and get to know each other.

Zeng Wenyu himself didn't like such banquets, but he finally sat at the end because Wang Min told him about Bai Wulin. However, just as he was about to leave, a riot broke out in the banquet. Zeng Wenyu saw a drunk young man who was pulling Mu Zhi's arm and trying to take Mu Zhi away by force.

The young man didn't know that Mu Zhi was with Zeng Wenyu, and Mu Zhi didn't come in with Zeng Wenyu. Before she came, she asked Butler Jian for a set of maid's clothes and put them on. She played the role of a maid throughout the banquet.

"Let me tell you, my father is the governor of Xinkang City. It's your honor that this young master likes you. Let me tell you, I have three beautiful wives at home. They were just like you at the beginning, unwilling to go with this young master. This young master just used a little trick, and they rushed to become my concubines. If you don't agree, there is always a home for you in Xinkang City..."

Before the young man could finish his words, Mu Zhi had already pulled his arm out of his hand and slapped the young man in the face with his backhand. The sound of this slap made the entire banquet quiet down, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the young man and Mu Zhi.

"You are just a servant, and you dare to hit me?" The young man covered his face. "I think you really don't want to live! Do you know how many uncles and aunts I have here? Do you know what they will do to you and your family if you slap me in the face?"

Mu Zhi didn't say anything. She was using her superb acting skills to play the role of a powerless maid. There were tears in her eyes, and her face looked aggrieved and terrified. Her body was trembling slightly, and she looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

"How dare you! Qi'er! This is General Wang's residence! How dare you cause trouble here?!" A middle-aged man quickly walked to the young man and kicked him. The young man immediately cried out in pain and fell to the ground. "I really spoiled you too much. You dared to cause trouble in General Wang's residence and even wanted to steal the maids in General Wang's residence. I think you have been living too well all these years!"

At this point the middle-aged man kicked the young man a few more times. He turned around and bowed to Wang Ke: "General, this is my son Sun Yiqi. He was drunk and behaved badly in front of you. Please forgive me, General."

"Hey, it's just a maid. How could the general blame you, brother Sun? You are the city governor," an official stood up and put his arm around Governor Sun's shoulders. "It's just a maid. Brother Sun, if your nephew wants this maid, just tell the general directly. The general can't make things difficult for you just because of a maid."

When the official said this, he glanced at Wang Ke several times. He and Wang Ke were not from the same lineage, and he always looked down on roughnecks like Wang Ke. Even though Xinkang City was now ruled by two generals, they still wanted to show the power of their civil service lineage.

Wang Ke, who was sitting in the main seat, had no expression on his face. Wang Min, who was sitting next to him, had experienced so many ups and downs over the years, so naturally, she didn't have much expression on her face. Feng Kan and his wife didn't know who Mu Zhi was at all, and this incident happened in Wang Ke's house, so they didn't say much.

The atmosphere of the entire banquet suddenly turned cold. The civil servant who spoke for Governor Sun looked at Wang Ke, who did not show much expression. He thought that Wang Ke was not speaking just because he couldn't save face.

"How about this, Brother Sun, since my nephew likes this maid, why don't you spend some money to buy her from General Wang's house? When the time comes, you can do whatever you want with her. I believe there is only one maid, and she looks..." At this point, he had time to take a look at Mu Zhi's appearance. He was stunned by Mu Zhi's appearance, but he quickly reacted, "Although this maid is so beautiful, with General Wang's status, he can have as many maids as he wants. He will definitely not blame you, Brother Sun, for this matter."

"Yes, yes, yes," Governor Sun responded immediately, "General, how much is this maid worth? I'll send someone back home to get the money right away."

Wang Ke still didn't say anything, he just looked down with a smile. This situation made Governor Sun sweat. But Governor Sun was a member of the civil service group after all. After the scene was quiet for a while, one by one the civil servants began to support him in a low voice. In the end, almost all the civil servants stood behind Governor Sun to put pressure on Wang Ke.

"Okay, okay, you all think she's just a maid and you can bully her at will, right?" Seeing that no one was talking, Wang Ke slammed the table and stood up, "Okay, I was wondering why some crimes couldn't be matched with the criminals last night and the case couldn't be closed. It turns out it's you guys!"

Wang Ke's action of slamming the table made all the military generals of the new country stand up. They stared at the civil officials in the field with fierce eyes, and their hands were on the weapons at their waists.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother Wang, don't worry, what are you doing?" Feng Kan also stood up at this time. He stretched out his hand to hold Wang Ke, "These people have been doing these things for a long time. We can't kill them all, right? The civil service system in the city is paralyzed. I don't know how long it will take to recover. We can't let us, the rough guys, deal with trivial matters."

"Indeed, but at least two-thirds of these people must be killed."

"Why?"

"Because they protect each other, they don't know their own position. Now the New Kangcheng is no longer the New Kangcheng of Zhang Zun's time. They still think of the old ways. If we don't kill them and scare them, how can we let them know what they should and shouldn't do?" Wang Ke looked at the group of civil servants in front of him with a gloomy face. "What's more, that is not my maid at all. She is Brother Zeng's sister. If our new emperor and your Kang emperor knew about this, how many people here would be left?"

"Oh... is that so," Feng Kan glanced in the direction of Mu Zhi, "Then let's kill them all. It won't take long for the Central Imperial City to send people over anyway. A few days at most will be enough."
