After being frightened in the morning, Gong Shangjiao did not go anywhere in the afternoon. After drinking tea, he asked someone to remove the tea table and replaced it with two wide tables and tables put together. He also brought official documents here to review.

He thought that the power would prevent him from killing Shangguan Qian and Yun Weishan. If he killed them by force, something bad might happen. He was also afraid that Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng would be curious and secretly go to find out what happened, so he asked Jin Ting to take his warrant to the dungeon and move the two men to the bottom floor where the serious criminals with high martial arts skills were held.

The cells there all have five-inch thick iron doors with multiple mechanical locks. People are sent in once a day to drink salt, sugar and rice soup to ensure they don't die.

The guards guarding there are all those who luckily survived the ten-year catastrophe. Even if the two female assassins wake up and want to seduce people, no one will be persuaded by them.

Gong Shangjiao felt that this time, the problem happened because he met these two people. As long as he and his brother and sister stayed away from these two assassins, no matter what tricks they played, they would not go to see them, and he did not believe that the power could still control them by force.

As for Jackdaw Si and Jackdaw Qi, if they are willing to provide information, they can do so. If not, they will be sent to Zheng Palace to be medicine men.

Anyway, they were younger than the two jackdaws that Zhang Xueming had caught two years ago, so they probably only knew about the ghosts and monsters of Wufeng. The real problem of the world might still fall on Jiang Yunhong of Wanhua Tower.

"Set up a small dark room without sound or light, and lock Jiang Yunhong up for three or four hours. If she doesn't say anything, keep her locked up. Or just give her water dripping torture, and try dripping for a day. The two jackdaws can be dealt with in the same way... Don't you all think our Ayuan's methods are cruel and bloody? I promise that this time, Si Siwen will not shed any blood."

Zhang Xueming casually wrote down the key points of the two "civilized" punishments and handed them to Jin Ting, then concentrated on painting her picture.

She and Gong Yuanzheng sat opposite Gong Shangjiao and painted. Gong Shangjiao occupied one table and the two of them occupied another.

It was difficult to take out the painting of Jiao Gong and the family portrait of Zheng Gong prepared for Gong Shangjiao, so they took out the line drawings that the three of them had worked on and divided the work among themselves.

The two little ones sat upright, looking like they were working seriously.

Gong Shangjiao took a look at them for a while, and secretly thought that after his younger brothers and sisters finished their paintings, he would take a few back to frame them and hang them, and then go back to his other business.

There are a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and he is very worried. He wants to do everything well. If he is not tired, who will be?

Zhang Xueming would not come up to find something to do, and Gong Yuanzheng was soft-hearted. He asked Gong Shangjiao to help him for a while when he was tired of painting. However, he only read a few official documents and wrote a few summaries to be attached to the first page. Then he looked pale and his eyes were lifeless.

Gong Shangjiao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, put the pen down and go play."

Gong Yuanzheng was as if he had been pardoned. He dropped the official document and pulled Zhang Xueming's hand: "Zhao Zhao, let's fold paper."

Zhang Xueming knew that Gong Shangjiao was still frightened, so he didn't go out to play. Instead, he took Gong Yuanzheng to fold paper airplanes and fly them outside the teahouse, and then folded boomerangs and flew them.

Those little gadgets would fly to Gong Shangjiao from time to time, forcing Gong Shangjiao to raise his hands to catch the UFOs that were attacking him, which made him very angry.

But every time the two little ones disturbed Gong Shangjiao, they would come up to him, tilt their heads and call him "brother" with a smile. He could not say "you two should be quiet", and could only glare at them sullenly and throw the things back to them.

With a great god like Gong Shangjiao guarding the Zheng Palace and motivated by the bonus promised by Zhang Xueming, the craftsmen of the Shang Palace in Huachaojuli who were working according to the drawings were incredibly efficient and the work was declared completed before dinner time.

Zhang Xueming came back from the inspection and said to Gong Yuanzheng, "Wait until Qingzhi has arranged the house. I will invite you and your brother to visit my new house tomorrow."

As they were talking, Jin Miao came to report that Jin Fu had sent a message saying that Gong Ziyu had fallen outside the palace gate and broke his forehead, and was sent to the clinic by Jin Fan for bandaging.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that someone had left the secret passage without permission and fell into the trap outside the secret passage.

Gong Yuanzheng was gloating, but a little puzzled: "Wanhua Tower is gone, and Gong Ziyu is still running out of the palace. What is so attractive outside?"

However, Zhang Xueming knew that Lin Zhenzhen had most likely succeeded in turning the melon over, and the wedding date had been set. Gong Ziyu was unhappy and wanted to go out and relax.

She didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "Wanhua Tower is gone, but there are still taverns and teahouses. He has money, so he can always find a place to have fun."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xueming asked Jin Miao: "Did Yu Gong say when the compensation for Gong Huanyu would be delivered?"

Jin Miao said: "According to what Guard Jin Yi said last time, it will be delivered tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xueming took a piece of bamboo and cut it into a handle and "wings" and made three bamboo dragonflies, one for each person.

Gong Shangjiao said, "All you do is think about these things all day long," but his hand had already quickly put the bamboo helicopter into his sleeve pocket.

Considering the severe punishment he had suffered today, Zhang Xueming was too lazy to argue with him and said perfunctorily: "Oh, yes, yes, brother is right." Then he started playing with Gong Yuanzheng again.

Both of them wore small bells on their heads today, and the jingling sound never stopped.

Gong Shangjiao didn't mind their noise. He would occasionally look up at the boy and girl who were having fun. There was warmth in his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

After dinner, I strolled around Zheng Palace and found that Jin Tong had brought people to deliver the books and medicinal herbs from the Moon Palace.

Seeing the group of Huang Yu servants in the back mountain who had to wait until dark to act in order to keep the secret, Zhang Xueming was very upset and teased: "Jin Tong, you must not have washed your feet on New Year's Eve last year, and you couldn't even make it in time for dinner."

Without waiting for Jin Tong to ask, he left him to Gong Yuanzheng for entertaining, and went out to order people to open the vacant palaces to temporarily place the boxes. He also called a guard with good martial arts skills to go to the kitchen quickly and ask the cooks to bring all the existing cakes and sweet soups, and to quickly make a batch of sweet rice cakes.

The topaz waiters outside who were moving boxes seemed to be concentrating on their work with expressionless faces, but in fact, they were all eavesdropping with their ears perked up. Knowing that they would receive snacks in a while, the corners of their mouths secretly curled up a little.

After moving the boxes, the kitchen had already delivered all the existing rice dumplings and three kinds of snacks. The maids invited them into a small hall newly decorated for receiving guests and treated them to food and drink.

When they were about to leave, they got some freshly steamed sweet rice cakes from the kitchen.

Each of them wrapped six large pieces of food in oil paper, tied them with thin hemp ropes and held them in their hands. None of them could maintain their aloof image. Led by Jin Tong, Zhang Xueming and Gong Yuanzheng who rushed out to see them off saluted with fists and showed silly smiles.

"...They are so easy to please." Gong Yuanzheng watched their backs disappear outside the gate of Zheng Palace, and couldn't help but sigh with relief: "Fortunately, Huang Yushi can't leave the palace unless there are special circumstances, otherwise anyone could kidnap them."
