The grass in the factory should be plucked

Xie Changan ordered the secret guards to send the six Yellow River ghosts, including their bodies, to the Ministry of Justice, and then stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, are you alright?"

Nangong Qinghe calmed down and said, "I am fine. Thank you for your hard work, Sir. Thanks to you and all the brothers from the East Factory, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"I hope His Highness is alright. Eleven and Twelve, you two will accompany the guards to escort His Highness back to the palace."

"Yes!"

"Sixteen, come back with me."

"Yes!"

Jiang Li pretended to look casually at Nangong Qinghe in the carriage, winked at him, then turned and left with Xie Changan.

"Ride the wind, let's go!"

A little eagle flapped its wings and fell from the sky and landed on her shoulder. Xie Changan looked down at her, and the two of them looked very intimate.

Nangong Qinghe was still immersed in her eyes filled with stars just now. Looking at the two of them gradually going away, he felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.

When Empress Zhang heard the news that Nangong Qinghe was assassinated, she was furious and went to see the emperor in person, demanding that he find out the murderer as soon as possible.

The assassin had been handed over to the Ministry of Justice, so the emperor ordered the East Factory to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice to pry open the mouths of the two survivors.

Unexpectedly, the two surviving ghosts of the Yellow River turned into real ghosts and died not long after they were put into the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Needless to say, he was silenced.

"The Ministry of Justice has the King of Qi's men!"

The Duke of Zhenguo sneered. Who else would want to assassinate the Prince of Jin except the Prince of Qi's party?

Therefore, the Zhenguo Duke's faction submitted another letter to the Ministry of Justice, saying that they intended to murder the Prince of Jin. When they saw that the plan was exposed, they killed the assassin first.

He was fine when the East Factory arrested him, so how come he died right after entering the Ministry of Justice? There must be a traitor in the Ministry of Justice!

The emperor was extremely troubled by their behavior of making random accusations against anyone they caught.

If this continues, the court will be empty!

As the end of the year was approaching, the backlog of official business in the court had piled up like a mountain, and he had to order the officials who were "awaiting punishment" at home to return to their posts immediately and wait until the New Year was over.

The rewards from the Queen and the Prince of Jin were carried into the East Depot like water. Even the Duke of Zhenguo came in person to express his gratitude and wrote a letter to the Emperor to praise the East Depot.

If it weren't for the diligent secret guards of the East Factory who insisted on standing guard on the streets even in the cold winter nights, Prince Jin would have been in danger!

When Zheng Shoucheng heard that the assassination attempt on Prince Jin had failed, he could not help but smash his beloved tea set to pieces!

"Useless thing! You are the top killer in the martial arts world, but you can't even beat that little castrated dog!"

He wasted a lot of money!

Xie Changan's nickname "evil star" is indeed not undeserved.

"Lord Liao's martial arts skills are unrivaled in the world. That eunuch Xie Chang'an has learned all his skills. He is also a well-known martial artist in the martial arts world. It is not easy to find an assassin who can defeat him."

Feng Chuan offered a suggestion, "My nephew heard that there are Miao Gu in southern Xinjiang. The Gu King and his four holy envoys are extremely skilled in Gu techniques. A few days ago, a team of elites sent by the East Factory to southern Xinjiang all died in the line of duty, and they died at the hands of Miao Gu."

He lowered his voice and said, "Lord Liao has even issued a killing order for the East Factory in the martial arts world. Why don't Lord Zheng send someone to southern Xinjiang to contact them?"

Although Feng Chuan worked in the East Factory, he had always been marginalized by Liao Wuyong and Xie Changan, so he didn't know that the "Madame Gong" who caused the Cuixiang Pavilion case was from the Miao Gu in Southern Xinjiang.

Zheng Shoucheng glared at him, "Nonsense! I heard that the Southern Xinjiang Gu King is the state teacher of the Southern Yi Kingdom. Asking him for help is like inviting a wolf into the house and seeking the skin of a tiger."

Zheng Shoucheng had served as the chief minister of the cabinet and a veteran of three dynasties. How could he not know that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away?

He flatly rejected Feng Chuan's proposal, but Nangong Xihe started to think about it.

He hated Xie Changan to the core. As long as he could kill him, what did it matter if he pretended to be friendly with the Southern Yi Kingdom?

As long as it is useful to him, giving the Nanyi Kingdom some benefits is fine. Could it be that such a small border country dares to covet the great Celestial Empire?

He didn't know that the other person actually dared to do it, and thanks to his mother, he almost succeeded.

As the end of the year was approaching, the Duke of Zhenguo sent a team of personal guards to Nangong Qinghe to protect his safety.

Apart from going to the palace to pay respects every day, Nangong Qinghe stayed indoors in Prince Jin's mansion and never went out.

Most of the time, he stayed in the secret room of the study.

Nangong Qinghe also painted the heroic figure of Jiang Li holding a sword to protect him that night.

The person in the painting has a graceful figure, his sword is as sharp as a dragon, and he is fighting with several big men in black.

He was in the carriage, following her with affectionate and lingering eyes.

Nangong Qinghe stared at the person in the painting infatuatedly: "Ali, I am so lucky to meet you!"

As long as he could stay with her for the rest of his life, he would be willing to do anything.

At this time, Jiang Li started to have a quarrel with Xie Changan again.

After Chu Feixue returned to Ghost Doctor Valley, she acted like a spoiled brat to her father, Valley Master Chu, and said that she would not marry anyone else but Xie Changan.

Master Chu of the Valley was in great trouble. Three years ago, when Xie Changan was recuperating in the valley, he could see that his beloved daughter was in love with him.

It’s not that Master Chu didn’t try to test Xie Changan’s intentions, but he politely refused.

He sighed, "Xue'er, if he was interested in you, he would have agreed to the marriage my father promised you when he was recovering in the valley."

"Marriage is about matching up the families. He is a member of the imperial court, and at a young age he is already a fourth-rank military officer. How could he marry someone like me?"

Although Ghost Doctor Valley has an extraordinary status in the martial arts world, to the powerful and wealthy in Beijing, it is nothing more than a gangster.

How many officials of the imperial court would seek to marry a woman from Jianghu?

Chu Feixue was known as "the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu" and she had a high opinion of herself. She was greatly shocked when she heard this and said angrily, "Brother Chang'an himself was born in the market, how could he have such a sectarian view? How could he be such a vulgar person?"

Master Chu was speechless. "Your senior brother wrote to me saying that he has a favorite woman by his side. I heard she is also from the underworld. Have you seen him give her a name? She is not even a concubine."

Chu Feixue cried, "Then why doesn't Daddy want to be an official? With your medical skills, you are more than qualified to be the director of the Imperial Hospital!"

"Shut up!" said Master Chu angrily. "Ghost Doctor Valley has a precept from our ancestors that disciples of the valley are not allowed to work in the Imperial Hospital. Do you want to be the one who betrays your master and ancestors for your father?"

Chu Feixue left crying.

Lord Chu Gu finally couldn't bear it, so he took his daughter to the capital under the pretext of delivering New Year gifts to Governor Liao.

When Shen Muchun heard that his junior sister had come again and even asked his master to come out of seclusion, he suddenly felt extremely troubled.

After he paid his respects to his master, he hurriedly moved into the residence of his clan relative, Elder Shen, fearing that his junior sister would chase him again and ask him to take her to see Xie Changan.

Master Chu Gu handed a visiting card to Liao Wuyong and went to the Governor's Mansion to meet Liao Wuyong.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your Excellency is still as charming as ever!"

"Master Chu is still as cool and elegant as ever."

After the two exchanged greetings, Valley Master Chu embarrassedly explained his purpose, saying that he was willing to give the entire Ghost Doctor Valley as a dowry and betroth his only beloved daughter to Xie Changan.

This is equivalent to giving the Ghost Doctor Valley to the East Factory.
