Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After returning to Xialou, Lu Xunhuan thought for a while in the room, and Qingxia came.

She asked Lu Xunhuan, "What exactly did that Zhuang guy lose?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Of course it's something that can't be made public. From now on, just help me with the work. As for what it is, I promised Master Zhuang that I would keep it a secret."

Qingxia rolled her eyes at him again: "Virtue, could it be something stolen from the palace?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I told you to keep it a secret, so don't ask."

Qingxia turned around unhappily: "Then why should I help you? Just check it yourself."

Lu Xunhuan took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"The client requested confidentiality, and I must abide by it. Don't be angry."

Qingxia took the 1,000 taels of silver and looked at it: "Of course I don't understand these principles, I just don't have face."

Lu Xun Huan took out another silver note worth one thousand taels and pushed it to him: "I'll give you everything I was given. Can I hire you as my chief secretary?"

Qingxia's eyes widened: "What do you mean, you want to insult me ​​with money, right?"

Lu Xun Huan took the banknote back and said, "Alright, give me that one too."

Qingxia glared again: "Put it down."

Lu Xun Huan quickly put the banknote into his pocket and said, "Forget it. I can't afford a secretary like you."

Qingxia stepped forward and grabbed his clothes: "Take it out."

Lu Xun Huan stood up and tried to hide from her: "Auntie, I can't afford you."

Qingxia raised her fist and hit him, saying, "Take it out, take it out for me..."

One person was hiding in front, circling around the room.

A man was chasing after him, shouting, "Give it out."

Just when the room was bustling with activity, the door was pushed open.

A pure, lovely, and beautiful woman, who was as innocent as a fairy and untainted by the world, stood at the door, looking at the two people running in circles in the house with curiosity.

Qingxia turned around and asked: "Zixia, why are you here?"

Lu Xunhuan's eyes suddenly widened.

Fairy Zixia is here?

What a beautiful Fairy Zixia! She is truly as beautiful as a fairy and has an ethereal air.

The woman entered the room and asked, "Sister, is he the Supreme Jade?"

Lu Xun Huan coughed lightly and shook his clothes: "No, in front of Qingxia, I am Supreme Jade, and in front of Zixia, I am Supreme Treasure."

Zixia chuckled: "Really? You're really funny. Now that you're in front of us at the same time, what's your name?"

Lu Xun Huan pulled out the 1,000 tael note from his pocket and handed it to Zi Xia: "I'll call you whatever you want me to call you."

Zixia took the banknote and looked at it: "Okay, as long as I am here, you are the Supreme Treasure."

Lu Xun Huan said "Okay" and walked out the door: "Miss Zixia, come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Zixia turned quickly and followed him out the door: "Okay."

Qingxia called out from behind, "The bell hasn't rung yet, how are we supposed to eat?"

Lu Xun Huan said without even turning his head, "There are so many places to eat. Who says you can only eat in the cafeteria?"

"Zixia, let's go and have some roasted whole lamb."

Zixia quickly followed him: "Okay, okay."

When Qingxia went out, the two of them were no longer visible.

She had no choice but to shake her head and go away helplessly.

During lunch, Captain Ma found Qingxia in the cafeteria and asked, "Have you understood the situation with Master Zhuang? Where is the Supreme Jade?"

Qingxia poked the chicken drumstick in the bowl and said, "He's become the Supreme Treasure."

Captain Ma was confused.

"What do you mean, what's with the Supreme Jade and Supreme Treasure? One person plays two roles, twins?"

Qingxia said absentmindedly, "Who knows what he means?"

In a restaurant not far from Xialou, Zixia picked up the tea and took a sip.

"No, I can't eat anymore. Supreme Treasure, are you always so generous to girls?"

She took out the silver note of one thousand taels from her bosom and said, "You gave me such a large sum of money just after we met."

Lu Xun Huan said, "As for me, the first time I saw you, I felt like we'd known each other for a thousand years. We're old friends, so a thousand taels is nothing. If you want ten thousand taels, I can get it for you."

This one sentence made Zixia very happy again.

"Yeah, when I first saw you, I felt like you were an old friend. So friendly."

Lu Xunhuan turned around and said, "Hey, let's settle the bill."

After calling the waiter, he said to Zixia, "I'm going to investigate the case. You go back to Xialou to find your sister."

Zixia nodded: "Okay."

Lu Xunhuan walked alone on the street.

He was thinking about the divine bone.

In the past, the search for divine bones had never had such a clear goal.

Although the goal this time is very clear, the difficulty is great.

The first difficulty is how to know where the Fifth Prince placed the sacred bones.

Even if you know where the divine bones are placed, how can you steal them without anyone noticing? This is the second difficulty.

Has the Fifth Prince’s mansion invited any top immortal masters? If so, that would be the third difficulty.

How to get started?

Walking through the streets and alleys, he arrived at Prime Minister Zhou's mansion again.

The servant already knew him, and when he saw him coming, he quickly took him to Prime Minister Zhou's study.

When Prime Minister Zhou saw him, he laughed and said, "You've got a lot of potential. You've become a celebrity in Changzhou City. The officials in the court are all talking about you."

Lu Xunhuan said modestly: "It was just luck, luck, not worth mentioning."

Zhou Xiangguo stroked his beard, quite appreciative of his modest attitude. "What brings you here today?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I recently took on a case that may involve officials in the imperial court. Grandpa, please explain to me the factions in the imperial court so that I can have a better understanding."

Prime Minister Zhou pondered and said, "It involves officials in the court. This case seems to be quite serious..."

"You guys at Xialou can't just take on every case. If it involves the complicated connections within the court and touches upon the interests of certain people, you might end up in big trouble."

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "That's why I came to ask Grandpa for advice. If you tell me, I can make a comprehensive assessment. If it doesn't work, I'll just return the money to them."

Prime Minister Zhou stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about it."

Lu Xunhuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion at noon and left at dusk.

The forces in the court are roughly divided into two factions.

One faction is headed by Shangguan Shangshu, who is supported by the queen and the crown prince.

The other faction was headed by the Five Princes and included some important officials in the court, such as Prime Minister Zhou.

The main apparent disagreement between the two factions is whether to reform or follow the teachings of the previous king.

A group of important officials headed by the Five Princes, including Prime Minister Zhou, hope to actively promote social reforms in Western Chu, resolve many social contradictions, and make Western Chu stronger than before.

However, those headed by Shangguan Xiangguo, as well as the queen, the crown prince and others, were all worried that the changes would cause instability in Western Chu, so they refused to change and insisted on following the teachings of the previous king.

His Majesty the King seems to be impartial and basically maintains a balance between left and right.

In this way, the Fifth Prince and Prime Minister Zhou are in the same camp.

But even if the two are in the same camp, can Lu Xunhuan let Prime Minister Zhou take him to meet the Fifth Prince?

He can't do that yet.

First of all, this is somewhat abrupt.

Secondly, he didn't want more people to know about the relationship between him and Prime Minister Zhou.

If he does anything detrimental to Xi Chu in the future, he can just run away.

But what about Prime Minister Zhou?

When he returned to Xialou, it was just getting dark.

Zixia was sitting on the stairs outside the Xia Building.

When she saw Lu Xunhuan coming back, she immediately jumped up: "Supreme Treasure."

Lu Xunhuan walked quickly to her and asked, "Are you sitting here waiting for me?"

Zixia nodded: "Yes."

She asked Lu Xunhuan, "Have you had dinner yet? If not, I'll treat you."

She raised the one thousand taels of silver note in her hand.

Lu Xunhuan turned around and said, "Okay, let's go."

He had just taken three steps when Qingxia called out from upstairs, "Supreme Jade, Captain Ma is still waiting for you in the backyard."

Lu Xunhuan turned back and said, "Zixia, let me report to the captain. It will be quick."

Zixia followed him to the backyard: "I want to listen too."

Captain Ma and Pan Long had been sitting in the pavilion for a long time, and no one knew how long they had been waiting.

He watched Zixia walk to the stone table and sit down, then said, "Zixia, let's discuss the case. You can go to your sister's room and rest, okay?"

Zixia shook her head: "No, I'm waiting for Zhizunbao to eat."

She rested her elbows on the table, her chin resting on her palms. "I'm not an outsider, so it's okay for me to listen, right, Captain?"

Captain Ma couldn't do anything about her: "Okay, okay, listen, just keep it a secret."

As they were talking, Qingxia arrived and sat down at the table.

Captain Ma then said to Lu Xunhuan, "Supreme Jade, tell me about the situation at Master Zhuang's end."

Zixia raised her hand and said, "No, when I was there, he was called Zhizunbao."

Captain Ma finally understood what Supreme Jade and Supreme Treasure meant.

He was too lazy to argue with Zixia: "Okay, okay, Supreme Treasure, tell me about the situation on Master Zhuang's side."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Mr. Zhuang requested that everything be kept secret. I already know what treasure he lost."

"However, I'll just investigate and I can't tell you. So, the situation is just one sentence: it's ongoing and there's no progress yet."

Captain Ma touched his chin and said, "Alright, the client's secrets must be kept secret. This is basic ethics. I won't ask you any more questions from now on."

"If you need us to do anything, come back to me. Once the case is closed, let me know so I can collect the money."

Lu Xunhuan stood up: "Got it."

He said to Zixia, "Let's go."

Zixia immediately stood up: "Okay, where do we want to eat?"
