Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

The medicine soup has just come out of the pot and steam is rising.

Zhou Chang had poor eyesight and the environment was dim, so he went from half blind to completely blind in an instant. He groped for the mouth of the bottle, pulled out the cork, put his face in front of the medicine bowl, and faced the mist, figuring that pouring a third of the medicine in would be enough.

"Is the medicine ready?" Mrs. Hu's voice suddenly appeared outside.

Zhou Chang's hand shook, and all the medicinal oil was poured out in one go.

Oops, I secretly thought that this was not good.

Isn’t that a bit too much?

But there was no time to think about all that, as Mrs. Hu had already walked in.

"Why is mother here again? Didn't I tell you to go and rest?" Zhou Chang hid the porcelain bottle in his sleeve and picked up the pills and shook them to mix them.

Mrs. Hu only had eyes for the medicine bowl: "Give me the medicine. Your eyesight has always been bad. Don't spill it again."

"The medicine has just been boiled. Be careful, it's hot." Zhou Chang leaned in to smell it, then handed the bowl of medicine to Mrs. Hu.

The bitterness of the decoction seemed unable to cover up the aroma of the medicinal oil.

Mrs. Hu didn't notice it and took the medicine herself: "Slow down, your brother really suffered this time."

Zhou Chang rolled his eyes in his heart and didn't want to say another word.

How many people have been harmed by Hu Lai? A beating is the lightest punishment. What does it matter?

The two of them went to Hu Lai's room one after another.

When Hu Lai saw his sister Hu Wan, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhou Chang didn't care. Fortunately, it was Mrs. Hu who brought the medicine in and forced Hu Lai to drink it all.

She was relieved.

"Jinglong", according to You Wan's memory, just two or three drops of it in the wine can make a man stand for several hours.

But as the saying goes, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. If you use too much of this medicinal oil...

Anyway, You Zhongyou never dares to smell too much.

Zhou Chang wanted the latter effect, for the humiliation he suffered in the Ministry of Justice prison that day, and even more for all the female compatriots who had suffered that before and after.

When Zhou Chang returned to Pei Mansion, it was already completely dark.

As soon as he entered the house, he asked the butler: "Is the master back?"

"Madam, the master is busy and has sent someone to tell him that he will stay in the yamen tonight." The housekeeper reported.

Zhou Chang almost doubted the possibility that a man who was almost sixty years old was a workaholic. He muttered, "I don't know what he's busy with. Hasn't the case been submitted? Is there any new development?"

The housekeeper heard this and answered dutifully, "I heard that there has been another major case in the city recently. Several officials' homes have been robbed by a bandit. In particular, the residence of the Minister of War has been robbed twice. His Majesty is furious. The City Patrol has run out of options, and the higher-ups have ordered the Ministry of Justice to work together to capture the suspect."

"Oh..." Zhou Chang didn't care at all. He thought of Yuan Qi again. A day had passed. He didn't know how anxious she would be. He asked again, "Did anyone come to see me during the day?"

"As for meeting you, Madam," the housekeeper thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Well, okay, go ahead." As he spoke, Zhou Chang was about to enter the inner courtyard and sent the housekeeper away.

The butler responded and left.

After all, he had been busy all day, and since he couldn't wait for Pei Li, Zhou Chang had dinner, washed up, and went to bed early.

The next morning, she first ordered the servants to prepare breakfast and send it to Pei Li, and asked someone to tell Pei Li to take care of his health and return home early to rest.

During the day, in order to pass the time, Zhou Chang accompanied Hu Wan's daughter Hu Caier to practice calligraphy, painting and embroidery.

After waiting until the evening, I finally got good news: Pei Li returned home.

Zhou Chang did the same as he did the night before, prepared a table of food and wine, and invited Pei Li to come.

Pei Li also came happily, and as soon as he entered the room, he looked happy: "Madam, I have heard about your brother's situation. Is he okay with his injuries?"

Zhou Chang knew that Pei Li had no real concern for him, so he did not need to answer. Instead, he said, "My father is deeply sorry and will come to apologize in person soon. Over the years, I have caused you a lot of trouble. Please don't take it to heart."

Pei Li waved his hands and let Zhou Chang take off his coat: "Forget it, forget it. As long as he can learn from this lesson, there is no need to say anything else."

"Please take a seat, sir. Today I asked the kitchen to make your favorite steamed sea bass. You didn't even get to eat two bites the other day." Zhou Chang said as he sat down opposite Pei Li and first offered Pei Li a piece of fish with his chopsticks.

Pei Li felt more relaxed, and the atmosphere between them was harmonious and beautiful.

After going around in circles, Zhou Chang finally got to the point: "The day before yesterday, I went to Dafu Temple to pray for blessings, and I happened to meet Miss Yuan, the young master of the Longyuyuan family."

"Coincidence?" Pei Li immediately put down his wine glass and became alert.

Zhou Chang pretended to be unaware and picked up some food for Pei Li. "Miss Yuan is a warm and enthusiastic person. She even introduced me to a powerful monk. However, I noticed that there was something suspicious between her brows. I only found out what it was after asking her about it."

"What did she ask you to say? What did she want you to do? Or did she want to see me?" Pei Li was not someone who could be easily fooled.

Zhou Chang smiled: "Miss Yuan went to pray for blessings, took the blessed objects, and left. I am just curious, is what happened in her family true?"

"Really." Pei Li frowned. "However, as a woman, you should not care about these things. You should also be careful if someone approaches you intentionally with bad intentions."

"If what happened in her family is true, what can we do? It's just pity for Miss Yuan, alas..." Zhou Chang sighed.

Pei Li picked up another piece of sea bass with his chopsticks, expressionless: "The case of former Minister of Finance Minhang collaborating with the enemy and treason is a done deal. The central government has already drafted an edict, and will summon him soon to announce it to the world."

"Really?" Zhou Chang's heart skipped a beat and sank. He could no longer care. "Even if the evidence is solid for Lord Min's crime, should the other people involved in the case be sentenced to death? If some of them are not guilty of the death penalty, wouldn't that be an injustice to a good person?"

"A good man? Humph..." Pei Li disagreed. "How much has Minhang embezzled over the years? Millions of taels have been seized during the confiscation of his property. Is there anyone who is truly innocent among those involved with him?"

"But..., but..." Zhou Chang was stuck and couldn't explain it for a moment, but he just felt that something was wrong.

Pei Li was in a good mood tonight. He was already half drunk and started to talk more: "It's just that those people were unlucky. However, their death cannot be blamed on me."

"Yes, I am also worried about you, Master," Zhou Chang quickly followed up, "If you kill a good person by mistake, it will be a sin for you, Master."

Pei Li poured himself another glass of wine and raised his hands to his head: "This is the will of the emperor. Anyone involved in the case of the Mirage Kingdom must be severely punished. Anyone who hinders Dalin from recovering the three states of Yuebei will be executed."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine.

It’s true that His Majesty meant to punish severely and severely, but he didn’t say that innocent people should be implicated, right?

Zhou Chang sneered in his heart, thinking that these were bad habits developed by people who had been officials for a long time.

If someone farts, people below will think of it as thunder.

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only pour another glass for Pei Li. Wine would make things easier to talk about. There was still a long night ahead. "Let me tell you a story about a smiling face with a dagger hidden inside:

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…

So it’s better not to hide the knife, it’s simpler and clearer to just click on the collection. ”
