Yao Chuguang put down the letter sent by Eunuch Wei and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

What a coincidence! Just as the incident happened in the military camp, they ran to Huayang City.

Let her guess, her father probably feels that there is no hope of turning the situation around if he relies on himself.

Is this the beginning of looking for allies?

I think the apparent allies must be those defeated generals.

King Yan of Yan State, Zhou Chengxi of Western Zhou Dynasty, and King Ada of the barbarians.

Yao Chuguang felt a little regretful that he didn't know their gathering place in advance.

Otherwise, if they were all caught in one fell swoop, these four could form a mahjong table and serve as mascots.

I just don’t know who is the person who is truly allied with Emperor Qi in the dark?

At this time, Lin Wan walked in from the secret passage.

Yao Chuguang raised his head and asked, "Have the ministers made any unusual moves recently?"

Lin Wan shook her head and said, "They seem to know nothing about what's happening in the military camp."

Yao Chuguang's expression flashed with excitement: "Wow! It seems that he has become smarter and is not as easy to fool as before."

Lin Wan's eyes flickered as he asked, "What should we do next? Keep stirring things up and see who can't help but jump out?"

Yao Chuguang shook his head and said, "That would be too obvious. Knowing we're testing them, they'll just hide deeper. Wait, the fox will reveal its tail sooner or later."

At this point, Yao Chuguang seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "Where is Yu Zhijian now?"

After conquering the State of Yan, Yu Zhijian began to serve as an imperial commissioner, inspecting various parts of the State of Yan and investigating and punishing corrupt officials.

Lin Wan thought for a moment and replied, "We should be almost at the border trading city."

Yao Chuguang took out a token from a box on the table and handed it to Lin Wan, saying, "Watch out! There's a brothel madam named Liu Rushi. If she gets arrested by Yu Zhijian, go and redeem her."

Lin Wan looked at the token in his hand and said jokingly, "Your Majesty, this is a crime of harboring a criminal!"

Yao Chuguang also looked helpless. Liu Rushi had taken control of Baihua Tower again in order to bribe officials and obtain intelligence.

How can your hands be clean when doing such shady business?

But all this is for Yao Chuguang. One cannot eat with a bowl in hand and then curse his mother when he puts the bowl down.

Yu Zhijian is specialized in investigating corruption and bribery, and he will find Liu Rushi sooner or later.

Could Yao Chuguang really just leave Liu Rushi alone for the sake of fame?

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Leave it to me!"

Yan land, Baihua Tower.

Liu Rushi was bored and leaned on the windowsill, watching the people coming and going. It was so lively.

A man dressed in a white moon-shaped robe, with a slender figure and an air of elegance in his every move, just walked into Liu Rushi's sight.

I saw the man holding a book in his hand, with his head slightly lowered as if he was thinking about something, completely immersed in his own world.

Liu Rushi suddenly felt like teasing him and deliberately threw her handkerchief at him.

The man, whose head was covered by a scarf, was startled and almost bumped into someone else.

Liu Rushi was amused by the man's clumsiness and panic.

Yu Zhijian took off the handkerchief on his head and looked up with a dazed look.

I saw the woman upstairs leaning lazily on the windowsill, with a smile on her lips, a light makeup on her face, and spring in her eyebrows and eyes.

Liu Rushi smiled brightly and called out to Yu Zhijian, "Sir, come up and play!"

The surprise in Yu Zhijian's eyes disappeared in an instant. He hung the handkerchief on the door, lowered his head and left without saying a word.

Seeing this, Liu Rushi curled her lips: "Boring!"

Wu Qi was sweeping the house with a broom. When he saw Yu Zhijian coming back, he walked up to him and said, "Sir, you're back."

Yu Zhijian nodded and continued to walk into the house. Wu Qi looked left and right, confirming that Yu Zhijian only had one book in his hand.

Knowing that Yu Zhijian had forgotten again, Wu Qi said helplessly: "Sir, aren't you going to buy meat? Where is the meat?"

Yu Zhijian looked at his hands, then slapped his head and said, "I saw a bookstore and was so busy reading that I forgot to buy some meat."

Wu Qi sighed, looked at Yu Zhijian and said, "I've already cleaned the study. Go read a book while I buy some meat."

Yu Zhijian nodded and took out his purse to give the silver.

When he opened his purse, he found it was empty. Then he remembered that he had spent all the money on books.

Wu Qi waved his hand and said, "I have some money here, just take care of the house."

Sometimes, Wu Qi couldn’t figure it out.

When Lord Yu was handling a case, he was very observant and never missed any clue.

Why do I always forget things in life? I am often too focused and always forget what I was supposed to do.

He was ruthless and impartial on the execution ground, beheading the most heinous prisoners and corrupt officials without blinking an eye.

But he is extremely kind-hearted towards the weak and suffering people, and often donates generously to help them.

Often, as soon as he received his monthly salary, he would use most of it to help the poor people.

As a result, my monthly salary was not enough to spend at the end of the month and I often went hungry.

Even if Wu Qi had never seen it, he knew how servants in other officials' homes were treated.

But at least they can definitely have enough food and warm clothes.

Fortunately, there was a canteen in the palace. Yu Zhijian set a precedent for the first time and used his authority to take Wu Qi to the canteen for meals.

He even ate and took things. Finally, the canteen chef couldn't stand it anymore and went to complain to the chief eunuch.

After Eunuch Feng found out, he would leave some food allowance for the two of them to Wu Qi when distributing the monthly salary.

He told Wu Qi to ask him for money if he had no money, saying that this was the emperor's order, and that Yu Zhijian could advance his monthly salary.

From now on, Wu Qi will manage their living expenses, and Yu Zhijian will handle the rest himself.

From then on, life became secure.

Although he did not live the good life he had imagined following Lord Yu, Wu Qi was still happy with it.

Yu Zhijian slowly walked into the study with the book, skillfully moved between the bookshelves, and found a paper cutter.

Yu Zhijian placed the blade of the paper cutter close to the edge of the book and slid the paper cutter.

The cover of the book was cut open, revealing the hidden layer inside.

The paper in the interlayer was as thin as a cicada's wing. Yu Zhijian gently took out the thin paper and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
