Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 318 Female Boss: What are you looking at?

Lu Zhan had come here many times and was familiar with Aunt Mingyu, so he asked tentatively, "Aunt, what does His Highness want to see me about?"

Aunt Mingyu liked this junior Lu Zhan and felt that he was more careful than other demon-suppressing masters. She led the way in front and said:

"It's because of what happened two days ago. Two days ago, you and Miss Chu mistakenly entered Huoyun Mountain. Miss Jiang captured the evil cultivator of the Black Water Sect. As a result, the princess seized nine branches of the Black Water Sect. However, because she did not hold back when dealing with the evil cultivator, a lot of mountains were damaged..."

"Now the people in the Ministry of Rites are holding on to this matter, and many remonstrance ministers have also joined in the fun, digging up all those old and trivial matters, and the court is in chaos every day..."

Aunt Mingyu sounded somewhat helpless as she spoke. The Great Zhou was now enjoying good weather and good harvests, and these civil and military officials had nothing to do except impeachment and quarreling, and the quarrels were endless.

It is said that the emperor has been absent from court for three days due to illness because of this matter. This matter is really difficult to deal with, but the ministers stubbornly blocked the door of the emperor's bedroom and refused to leave, demanding that the emperor severely punish the Grand Master.

"How do they want the Emperor to punish Your Highness?" Lu Zhan was shocked. This matter is not over yet?

When he watched TV in the past, he felt that the many criticisms in the court seemed to be exaggerated, but at this moment, Lu Zhan realized... reality was much more magical than TV dramas.

Are you still arguing about this little thing?

"..."

Okay, okay, luckily you are my boss, otherwise I can’t even imagine how miserable your fate would be.

You have so many requests all day long, happy and unhappy, what a riddle man... Lu Zhan lowered his head in thought, and he could see her heavy fruits with his eyes.

From this angle, you can clearly see the gaps between the fruits.

Let's not talk about other things for now, just talk about the Grand Master's style of doing things. Because he is now in a high position, he must set an example and abide by the law, so he is restrained a little bit by his high position and does not act as lawless as before.

While thinking, Lu Zhan, led by Aunt Mingyu, came to the outside of the hall on the sixth floor. Aunt Mingyu signaled Lu Zhan to go in alone while she stood guard outside the door.

Could it be that these people wanted to chop off the head of the Great Lord? Are you kidding me? Whose knife is so hard?

Aunt Mingyu whispered, "It seems that he is holding on to this matter, but in fact he is using it as an excuse to get His Majesty to resign from his duties as the Chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

"..."

But as soon as this posture appeared, the charming eyes of the Grand Master looked over.

The chief minister lowered his head to admire his painting and continued, "I seldom paint in person, but two days later is Duke Xie's 80th birthday. Duke Xie has devoted himself to the country and the people, and is truly a pillar of society. I am making an exception and painting for him in person."

At this time, the female boss was standing quietly behind the desk, with her head slightly lowered, revealing her slender white neck. She was holding a wolf hair brush in her hand, splashing ink.

The Grand Master was sitting on a chair, originally keeping a safe distance from Lu Zhan, but as soon as Lu Zhan bent down, the distance between them became a little closer. At first glance, it looked like Lu Zhan was holding the Grand Master in his arms and writing to him, but in fact, there was still some distance between them.

Duke Xie is an important official in the court and has made many contributions, but this is not the point... The point is that Duke Xie also reported to the Grand Chancellor in the court, and there are rumors that Duke Xie is the main force in advising the Grand Chancellor this time.

Lu Zhan came up to her and smelled a faint scent of plum blossoms. It was a mixture of his female boss's body odor and plum blossoms. It smelled surprisingly good. His eyes swept across the undulating mountains and landed on the painting on the table.

Although reputation does not seem that important to cultivators, as long as they are in that position, they will be constrained by it.

Lu Zhan's eyelids twitched, and he dared not continue to observe his boss's behavior, otherwise it would be easy for him to be reduced from a favorite general to a subordinate's butcher. He looked away calmly, bent down, picked up the pen and ground the ink to write.

Lu Zhan nodded slightly and stepped into the hall. His slender female boss was dressed in purple and wore a golden hair crown. She had a noble and majestic temperament.

This painting is indeed a bit strange. It depicts a messy ball of ink like a ball of wool. Under the messy ball of ink, there is a very strange creature.

"What type do you want?" Lu Zhan asked with a smile.

Lu Zhan understood the hidden meaning behind the words. This was a reminder for him to be more prudent in the future. In simple terms, it meant paying attention to his reputation.

Lu Zhan was open-minded about this. His staying in the Demon Suppression Bureau was nothing but a win-win situation. If he could achieve great success one day, he would naturally not continue to hang around in the court. Wouldn't it be good to be free and easy?

It's just that the current situation makes it more advantageous to stay in the Demon Suppression Division.

The chief priest put down the wolf hair brush and sat lazily in the chair, thinking: "Hmm... it makes people happy, but also unhappy."

Lu Zhan entered the hall and bowed, "I pay my respects to the Grand Master."

These civil officials are really stubborn!

Aunt Mingyu smiled and thought that Lu Zhan was still young. She said, "Lord Lu, the intrigues in the court are nothing more than this. Once the other party catches you, they will not let go easily. Even if they cannot achieve their goal, it is good to cause trouble to their opponents. This Bianjing City looks prosperous, but in fact, the nobles are so restricted that they can't even keep secrets in their own courtyards."

The moment he saw the painting, Lu Zhan was silent.

The chief minister heard the voice without even raising his head: "Lu Zhan, come over and take a look at this painting I drew."

"Hmm?" The Grand Master raised her head suddenly and glanced at Lu Zhan: "What do you mean by that look? Isn't this like a dog eating shit? You are already at the peak of the Mysterious Realm, but your eyesight is still so poor?"

The atmosphere downstairs in Qingyang Tower was not very harmonious.

It is self-evident what the Grand Master meant by giving the other party this kind of scroll at a birthday party.

Looking at the self-righteous female boss in front of him, Lu Zhan tried hard to keep smiling, but he was gritting his teeth in his heart.

"..."

Lu Zhan was surprised: "How dare they? Even if the Grand Master really resigns, who can take over this position?"

"I am planning to give him this masterpiece as a gift, but I currently lack suitable lyrics. I heard that you have outstanding literary talent. Please come and help me write a poem."

This painting was really hard to evaluate. Lu Zhan racked his brains to find some knowledge points related to flowers and animals, and tentatively flattered, "Could it be that this is a tiger sniffing a rose?"

Lu Zhan's smile became warmer.

"..."

Even blocking outside the emperor's bedroom?

Dogs eat shit, very good.

If she were free of all worries now, would those who impeached her still be able to think about it?

Impeachment is carried out today, but the banquet is held tomorrow.

Lu Zhan squinted his eyes and looked carefully. He could vaguely make out the mess of ink-stained lines, which looked like flowers, and the strange creature, which looked like... a dog?

"..."

The plump and beautiful female boss is not as ignorant of feelings as Xiao Chu, nor as arrogant as Yueyue, and not as naive as Jiang Jiang. Her gaze is very direct. She first looks at the face, then the chest, and then the waist. Then many meaningful looks emerge in her eyes. She even thinks of the time when they were in Huoyun Mountain, when Lu Zhan held Xiao Chu in his arms, with their waists very straight.

Mature women are different. This direct look made even Lu Zhan, a seasoned driver, feel a little uncomfortable. He quickly finished writing and straightened up: "I'm done."

The Grand Master then looked away and glanced lazily: "With a tiger in your heart, you can smell the roses? The poem is indeed a good one, but if it is paired with this painting, it will be interesting. I believe that Lord Xie will like it when he sees it."

Lu Zhan smiled: "Great Master, your opinion is excellent."

Lu Zhan did not use any tricks towards his female boss and just got along with her freely, because she was able to sit in this position and manage the Demon Suppression Bureau in order, not just by using her fists.

She has brains, she just doesn't like to use them much.

Playing tricks in front of her is not the best option.

The Grand Master was very satisfied with Lu Zhan's inscription. She took out her heavy official seal, stamped it, and then asked casually, "Did you transfer troops from the Demon Suppression Division yesterday?"

Lu Zhan's expression changed, and he did not hide anything, telling the whole story:

"I accidentally discovered that the Thief Saint was lurking in Bianjing, and I used a trick to lure him out, but the Thief Saint didn't show up last night, and instead I accidentally uncovered another case of evildoer."

The chief commander put away the official seal and said with a smile, "Tell me in detail."

Lu Zhan was not surprised that his female superior knew about his troop deployment. She probably even knew what he was deploying the troops for. She just wanted to hear his own explanation.

Thinking about this, Lu Zhan said, "Last night, a ghost complained that a demon dug out his heart and killed him. I followed the clues and found a fox demon. Behind the fox demon is a wild god, and behind the wild god..."

Lu Zhan explained the cooperation between the locust tree spirit and the people in the court, and he himself came here for this matter.

The chief was slightly surprised when he heard this, and stood up and asked, "Did the monster reveal who it was?"

Lu Zhan said regretfully, "No, they said that the person was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face, but they did describe his figure. If I meet him again, I should be able to recognize him."

The chief minister licked his bright red lips and seemed to be interested: "Do you have any idea?"

Lu Zhan said truthfully: "Not yet."

The chief minister said nothing, but only lowered his head to glance at the painting on the table. After a moment, he smiled and said, "In two days, Duke Xie will celebrate his birthday. You will come with me to congratulate him."

It is normal for a Grand Master with a status like that of a Grand Master to bring his subordinates with him to express congratulations, but usually the Grand Master brings his most trusted subordinates with him.

Lu Zhan understood what his female boss was hinting at, and he nodded slightly:

"I understand, and I intend to investigate this matter. The laws of the Great Zhou are strict, and it is not allowed to practice evil methods that harm people. Even the evil practitioners of the Black Water Sect dare not do so openly. If there are officials who openly defy the laws of the court, they will be punished."

The chief minister said nothing, but just walked down the stairs.

The purple long skirt meanders on the ground, just like the wisteria blooming in winter, delicate and elegant.

Lu Zhan followed behind, lifted up her skirt, and waited for what to say next.

After a long while, the female boss spoke slowly: "If it is true that the court officials cooperated with the evildoer, and the evildoer was killed by you last night, then the officials may already know who killed the evildoer. Even if you don't investigate, I'm afraid you are not safe..."

After saying this, the Grand Master took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it over.

"This is my jade pendant for sending messages. If you encounter danger that you cannot resolve, crush the pendant and I will rush there as soon as possible." The chief minister spoke in a kind tone. He did not sound like the high and mighty Princess, but rather like an elder who cared for his subordinates.

Lu Zhan quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Grand Master!"

The chief minister mentioned official business, with a look of fatigue between his brows:

"If there is still no clue after two days, perhaps the birthday banquet of Duke Xie will be an opportunity. At that time, all the officials in the court will go to celebrate the birthday. Even the political enemies will pretend to be peaceful and go to show their respect. You may be able to gain something by then. If you can really recognize him by his figure, you can continue to track him down."

Lu Zhan nodded. He already understood what his boss meant.

After they finished talking about the matter, the Grand Master did not intend to let him leave, so Lu Zhan followed the Grand Master to the railing of Qingyang Tower.

The Grand Master looked out at the beautiful scenery of the capital and sighed:

"I really miss my childhood, when I was free and unfettered. It's nothing like now, where I am trapped in the court, arguing with a bunch of old men... Alas."

There are countless people out there who envy the royal family’s power and wealth, but only when they are among them will they realize how boring it is.

The chief commander was also very bored and felt that everything was boring, so he tried to find something to talk about.

Lu Zhan said carefully: "How can everything go as planned in life? You have a long life and a distinguished family background, which is something that people cannot desire."

"The officials in the court work hard, but they also enjoy a privileged life that ordinary people cannot enjoy. You must know that many people can hardly even eat enough and live a hard life. Everything in the world is nothing more than an equal exchange. If you gain something, you will lose something."

The chief minister looked back at him and said, "How dare you say that."

"I dare not, but Your Highness and I have such feelings, I think you want to hear something different from me, so I dare to do it." Lu Zhan smiled and said: "By the way, when I passed by Yunshui Sect, the head of Yunshui Sect asked me to say hello to you."

The chief thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean him... Is that old guy okay?"

Old guy... Lu Zhan felt something was wrong, so he said, "That's good. He said he was your elder brother back then."

"?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and the chief minister slowly turned around, with a murderous look on his beautiful face: "What did he say?"

Lu Zhan said truthfully: "He said that you were young and frivolous and once called him big brother."

"..."

The murderous aura of the Grand Master became stronger and stronger: "Okay, I understand, you leave first."

……

After Lu Zhan left Qingyang Tower, he sensed an extremely overbearing fluctuation of true Qi.

He raised his head slightly and saw his female boss, like a purple flame, extremely domineering, rushing towards the east.

"..."

Lu Zhan had a bad feeling in his heart and was a little worried about Master Yunshui, but then he thought... he didn't exaggerate.

These words were indeed said by the head of the Yunshui Sect and have nothing to do with him, Lu.

I don’t know if Xiao Chu has come out of confinement... Lu Zhan’s heart was in a mess. He suddenly realized that his female boss didn’t mention Xiao Chu today. In the past, when the female boss saw him, she would always hint or not to let him get closer to Xiao Chu.

Today is strange.

Lu Zhan went back to the office to read some official documents. He was worried that the Thief Saint would appear during the day, so he decided to go home to check. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Demon Suppression Office, he saw Xiaobai running towards him in a hurry.
