Ye Kang and Zhu Cong returned to the headquarters of the Imperial City Guard to report on their duties.

Leng Ruyi didn't ask any further questions.

With a stroke of her pen, she inflicted a grave offense of disrespect upon the White Tiger Gang.

This kind of thing is not difficult to do. After all, the White Tiger Gang has done a lot of things to bully the good people. All kinds of files are piled up in the Imperial City Guard.

Furthermore, the Bai family's prison break was real, and with Bai Laosan as a living witness, the charges against them are irrefutable.

In a word.

Destroying the White Tiger Gang is reasonable.

After all the procedures were in place, Zhu Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He clasped his hands in deep gratitude.

"Your humble servant thanks you, sir, for your keen insight. From now on, I will wholeheartedly cooperate with you, even at the cost of my life!"

Leng Ruyi nodded expressionlessly.

"Lord Zhu, you flatter us. We are all doing our duty for the court. You may go and rest now. Ye Kang, please stay. I have something to say to you."

Zhu Cong glanced at Ye Kang meaningfully, then obediently left, making a point of closing the door behind him.

Ye Kang also looked doubtful. What could the commanding lady possibly have to say?

do we know each other?

Leng Ruyi didn't hesitate. She looked up at Ye Kang, a smile playing on her lips.

"I heard that you killed Bai Daqing. In principle, this is a great achievement, but since it is not a glorious thing, I will not reward you extra."

Ye Kang nodded immediately.

"It is entirely up to Lord Leng to decide."

Leng Ruyi's smile widened.

“However, I have seen your file. You live in Fushengmen, a family of four, a family of winemakers. You worked as a minor official patrolling the streets for a few years because of your father’s connections. You should know nothing about martial arts.”

really!

The woman began to have doubts!

Ye Kang felt a tremor in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

"What the adults said is all correct. It's just that I was fortunate enough to be taken in as a student by a martial arts master. I trained with him for several years without my family knowing."

Ye Kang made up a story off the top of his head.

If you can get by, then get by; if you can't, then we'll see.

However, these words had a completely different meaning to Leng Ruyi.

They can train a top-notch expert within a few years.

The martial arts master Ye Kang mentioned is definitely not simple.

Could it be one of those reclusive royal attendants in the capital?

These old men never show themselves, so it's not impossible that they might suddenly decide to take on an apprentice.

Therefore, Ye Kang's identity is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After a moment of hesitation, Leng Ruyi pulled a file from her desk.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. Now that you've been promoted to Commander of the Death Prison, you don't need to stay there every day. Go home and rest for a few days. In a few days, someone will come looking for you to do something for me."

"what?"

Ye Kang was dumbfounded.

He just wanted to be a quiet prison guard, so why was he being assigned tasks?

Leng Ruyi seemed to see through Ye Kang's thoughts, and lightly tapped the desk with her finger.

“I won’t help you for nothing. After it’s done, I can take you to the Imperial City Guard’s warehouse and let you choose any martial art.”

The Imperial City Guard Depot is the logistics warehouse of the entire Imperial City Guard, where all of the Imperial City Guard's military equipment is stored.

In addition, there are countless martial arts techniques, either obtained through torture from prisoners or by secret agents of the Imperial City Guard. These techniques were collected, organized, and stored in a top-secret location.

Only those who make great contributions will have the opportunity to select martial arts manuals from the garrison's armory.

Ye Kang was immediately interested.

I'm currently lacking martial arts skills, so I might as well go.

But he still tentatively inquired.

"My lord, what exactly is the mission? My strength is too weak, and I fear I may hinder your important business."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruyi couldn't help but chuckle.

"You'll find out in a few days. If you agree, I'll owe you a favor. You can decide for yourself."

Ye Kang pondered for a moment and nodded.

"One last question, why did you choose me, sir?"

Leng Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then stared straight into Ye Kang's eyes.

"You've managed to get to this level, you're definitely not a member of the eunuch faction, I'm relieved."

……

Inside the Imperial City, at Fusheng Gate.

Ye Kang, dressed in his commander's uniform, was walking home.

He was still trying to decipher the deeper meaning behind Leng Ruyi's words.

"It seems that this Lord Leng is not very friendly towards eunuchs."

Ye Kang laughed.

This is normal, since they are both intelligence agencies. The Imperial City Guard and the eunuchs in the palace have conflicting interests. You can't say they are irreconcilable, but you can say they are in a power struggle.

But Ye Kang didn't care about these things.

He just wanted to enjoy his vacation.

Just as I arrived at my doorstep, I heard a cry.

Upon hearing the noise, Ye Kang immediately rushed into his house.

He knew that crying sound all too well.

Every time my father went to a brothel to listen to music, my mother would cry like this.

He spoke loudly as he walked.

"Mom! Why are you crying again? Where has Dad gone off to fool around again?"

"Kang'er is back!"

The old woman, who was wiping away tears, immediately ran out upon hearing the sound.

Ye Long, Ye's father, followed behind.

His face was ashen.

"You bastard! Who's been fooling around with you! You come back and start gossiping about your old man, you've got some nerve, haven't you?"

Ye Kang pretended not to hear and went to help his mother up.

Mrs. Ye immediately spoke with concern.

"Kang'er, why are you back? Were you kicked out of the Imperial City Guard?"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Long flew into a rage.

"You brat, being seconded to the Imperial City Guard is a blessing you've earned in eight lifetimes. Don't you dare embarrass me. Get back to your post right now!"

As Ye Long spoke, he was about to push Ye Kang out.

"No, no, no, Dad, look carefully. I'm wearing a commander's uniform. Not only was your son not fired, but he was promoted."

Ye Kang gave an explanation.

Only then did his parents believe it, and their eyes were filled with relief.

But seeing the redness and swelling around Madam Ye's eyes, Ye Kang couldn't help but ask.

"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ye couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"Kang'er, your older brother was beaten up, he almost died!"

After Madam Ye finished speaking, Ye Kang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Having absorbed the original owner's memories, he naturally felt a deep affection for his family in this world.

The eldest brother, Ye Ping, inherited his father's brewing skills. He was an honest man who only knew how to brew wine. He was usually diligent and never dared to cause trouble.

Now they've actually been attacked!

He almost got beaten to death!

Ye Kang immediately flew into a rage.

He immediately ran to his older brother's room.

Sure enough, Ye Ping's face was covered in bruises, his chest was wrapped in bandages, and half of one of his ears had been cut off.

He looked at the furious Ye Kang and forced a smile despite the pain.

"Kang-di, I'm alright..."

After Ye Ping finished speaking, his wound throbbed with pain again.

Ye Kang immediately grabbed his hand and gently channeled his inner energy, using the gentle Wood Qi to transfer into Ye Ping's body.

After a short while, Ye Ping's injuries subsided, and he fell into a deep sleep under the nourishment of the Yi Wood True Qi.

Ye Kang walked out the door with a gloomy face and took a deep breath.

"Father, Mother, please tell me everything that happened."
