Five days later.

The imperial capital, the palace of the Seven Princes.

At this time, the sky is not dawn, and the light snow has stopped.

Zhao Zhou, who had been back from West Lake for four days, went out of the mansion with the Seven Princes, and after getting into two carriages wrapped in thick curtains, he followed the guards to light the stove in the car, and with the sound of 'driving', pressed the snow after being cleared, and walked straight towards the palace with a 'creak', ready to go to the morning court.

This is also since Zhao Zhou came back four days ago and handed over the six heads, which can be regarded as enough for the ranking of the land list and his own reputation, so the saint thought about it for a while, and specially asked Zhao Zhou to listen to the seal in front of the palace today.

But also inside the carriage at this time.

Zhao Zhou didn't feel any nervous about this pilgrimage, but leaned on the animal skin blanket in the car seat, closed his eyes and sorted out the battle in Meizhuang five days ago, which was also a summary of his experience after each battle.

However, the four friends of Jiangnan are too low in the ranking list, and their kung fu is not good.

The only one who can enter the hundred is also detained for twelve years, and most of his skills have long been dispersed, and it is estimated that he has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and after the hundred, he has regressed by an unknown amount.

Thereupon.

When Zhao Zhou killed them, he really didn't waste much effort, so he couldn't sort out any useful life-and-death fighting experience.

On the contrary, the few people he killed were still cheap, and they belonged to the ranking of the free hand, as well as some fame.

In particular, Zhao Zhou killed them, searched for them, and found that there were many strange calligraphy and paintings in their villa, and precious antiques.

Similarly, Zhao Zhou also stayed in this world for half a year, consumed some medicinal materials, and the space was organized into some positions.

When I saw it, of course, I took it with my hand and saved others and helped myself.

"Before it enters the treasury, many precious and good medicines in this world need to be exchanged for money. This antique gold and silver can also find a way to consume. ”

Zhao Zhou in the carriage counted the gains of a few days, and found that he had killed the four friends of Jiangnan, just like robbing a big vault, with a variety of cheats and antiques, enough for his needs for a few years, and it could be regarded as a double income of 'wealth and fame', and he would not lose money by going back.

And the carriage also walked a distance, getting closer and closer to the imperial city.

It was only three or four feet away from Zhao Zhou's carriage in the carriage of the Seven Princes.

"It's so cold...."

At this time, with a yawn, the Seventh Prince seemed to have just squinted for a while, tightened his clothes, straightened his expression, and changed himself into a look of worship, before he lifted the small curtain on the side of the car and looked at the carriage on Zhao Zhou's side, "Sir, since you came back four days ago, many heroes and court masters in the imperial capital have passed your name, saying that you are a master who has been hidden in the market for many years..."

Four days ago, when Zhao Zhou took six heads and handed over six doors, it didn't take half a day to remove five people from the ground list on the first floor, and rewrite Zhao Zhou's name.

This also made many heroes in the imperial capital inevitably surprised when they saw that it was this 'swordsman and Zhao Zhou' who not only won the list, but also killed five congenital masters in a row, and talked about Zhao Zhou for a while.

And when they say it, they don't think that Zhao Zhou is ordinary, or they feel that Zhao Zhou is not a hidden master, who was suddenly 'born' this year, and wants to meet the world's masters for a while.

Moreover, they were not curious about why Zhao Zhou was able to find Ren Xing, who had been missing for more than ten years, because Ren Wu Xing was not an earth-shattering figure, so it was worth thinking about every day.

But there are also many masters, who feel that Zhao Zhou is a little 'arrogant', or 'too murderous', and he has killed so many people in the near years, which is a bit of a violation of the 'rules'.

However, more thoughtful people feel that the imperial court may want to 'do something' to them in the rivers and lakes. Because what is written on the land list is 'Eighty-ninth place on the land list, Zhao Zhou, weapon long knife.' It is an imperial court inspection order. ’

When these knights see the word 'court', they will inevitably feel that the court is going to attack them!

This also made several 'cautious' knights in the imperial capital, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, and in the days close to the end of the year, they dragged their families out of the imperial capital overnight on the snowy road.

Equally.

Under their discussion and speculation, four days later, Zhao Zhou's reputation was also spread in the imperial capital at once.

But this news is more about the meaning of the imperial court.

But no matter what, the name of 'Inspector Zhao Zhou' has also been 'remembered' by people in the rivers and lakes, and it is estimated that many masters will come to 'consult' this inspector in the future.

And at this time.

On the way to the palace, the Seventh Prince also thought that the gentleman in his mansion was becoming more and more famous, and he was also smiling, and when he saw Zhao Zhou open the curtain, he also waved his hand and saluted: "Sir's move can be said to be ten years of no one asking under the window, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!"

The Seventh Prince said, and he was not afraid of any people in the rivers and lakes coming to assassinate him, because this was the imperial capital, and it was suppressed by six half-step grandmasters!

"The Seven Princes have said." When Zhao Zhou heard the praise of the Seven Princes, he also returned the salute, "Entrusted by the king, it's just a matter of loyalty to the king." ”

The words fell.

Zhao Zhou chatted with the Seventh Prince for a few words, and then talked about other trivial matters.

However, Zhao Zhou thought more than the Seventh Prince in his heart, and knew that if he spread the news, then not only the people in the rivers and lakes would trouble him, but even the princes and ministers in the court would stumble on themselves.

This is also since Zhao Zhou made a move on the surface, and the saint gave him an official again. If you are not a stupid minister, you will know that the Holy Lord wants to let this 'inspector order Zhao Zhou' pick the 'big beam' of the rivers and lakes and the court, and then add officials to the knighthood.

At that time, when Zhao Zhou's official position is high and the power in his hands is heavy, it will definitely damage the interests of some people.

Especially in the past few years when the Holy Lord wanted to clear the rivers and lakes, these ministers did not make a move, and they did not send troops, and they had already formed a tacit understanding.

But Zhao Zhou suddenly came out and did so. Not to mention whether it will offend people, it will definitely make people feel 'uncomfortable', as if Zhao Zhou forced them to do the same.

And it's also this back and forth.

How could the ministers and princes give this 'Inspector Zhao Zhou' a good face, and they would definitely be like people in the rivers and lakes, always 'staring' at Zhao Zhou.

"I guess if I seal the book today, someone will stop it. However, a master in this river and lake is here, and the two ministers in this court are also going, and I, Zhao Zhou, are all there. ”

Zhao Zhou thought about it, chatted with the Seven Princes, arrived at the palace, got off the carriage, and walked straight to the palace with the Seven Princes on the staircase aisle surrounded by the Ouchi guards on both sides, ready to see what would happen to these ministers.

It's just that I waited in front of the gate of the court.

Zhao Zhou looked inward, but saw that the ministers and generals in the hall wearing official uniforms and armor were now standing on both sides, all of them did not say a word, and the atmosphere was solemn, waiting for the saint to come to the court.

Looking at this scene, I feel that the rules of the court are very strict, and I don't have time to chat with Zhao Zhou, or say anything about the scene.

But in fact, the saints today are relatively enlightened, unless it is related to the people's livelihood and some festivals, it must be 'decent'. Normally, before he came, the ministers could talk to each other in a whisper. It doesn't matter what they're wearing, as long as they're comfortable.

But although the saint said so, no one chatted, and no one was so comfortable to dress casually.

Even the four 'half-step grandmasters' who stood at the forefront of the martial arts, the owner of the Dragon Guardian Villa, the Dongchang factory master, and the leader of the Jinyi Guard, were all wearing formal court clothes, and there was no sense of casualness.

And although they had their backs to the outside of the hall, when Zhao Zhou and the Seven Princes stepped into a radius of about 100 meters from them, they had already sensed Zhao Zhou's arrival, but they didn't make any movement, they still stood quietly as before, facing the steps under the dragon chair in front of them.

And, it's not just them.

Even the dozen or so princes of different ages, middle-aged or young, as well as the ministers and generals, did not care about the arrival of Zhao Zhou and the Seventh Prince, as if they did not have the slightest meaning of 'angry'.

But it was also this scene of 'harmony and harmony' like a holy appearance of rules and regulations, which made Zhao Zhou a little curious when he saw and heard it.

"It's isolated with me. I'm still going to wait for the Holy Church to canonize me as an official, and then leave me the statute. Zhao Zhou thought for a moment, and after seeing that these ministers were silent, as if they didn't say anything, they also stood at the end of the military attaché, closed their eyes and recuperated, without any fear.

It's just that he hasn't been issued an official uniform yet, so he wears a splendid practice uniform, which is somewhat conspicuous and unique in this splendid palace.

Fortunately, the clothes are clean and straight, and they are also upright and atmospheric.

But if you want to find trouble, you can find a lot of fault with Zhao Zhou in this dress.

However, none of these ministers said much, and they all looked straight and still looked ahead.

For a while, Zhao Zhou noticed that the entire court was depressed and silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

It waited until half an hour later, when the sky outside was gradually hazy and bright, and there was a sound of 'clicking' footsteps in the apse. There was a little noise in the hall.

And accompanied by a long sound of "salute", Zhao Zhou also saw that the father-in-law was under the side protection of several internal guards, supporting the saint to come to the court.

At the same time, the ministers should also bow down and bow, but after the salute ended, the ministers still did not say a word, as if the morning dynasty had no intention of playing, and returned to that calm atmosphere.

And when the saint saw and heard, he turned a blind eye to it, and said to the public beside him, "Seal." ”

"Yes." The expression on my father-in-law's face was not as good as the previous smile, but it was as cold as frost, picked up a sealed book, and looked at Zhao Zhou at the back of the generals.

"Sealed, Zhao Zhou is the inspector, and he is the fifth product. Given, the Inspector's House...."

The father-in-law's voice echoed in the hall, and when he finished reading the holy decree, he didn't have a word, took two steps forward, and handed it over to Zhao Zhou, who also stepped forward from the military generals.

When these ministers saw it, they did not obstruct or admonish it, but they didn't know what they were thinking, they all looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, and their eyes turned downward, looking straight ahead.

"Holy Ron."

Zhao Zhou took the holy decree, and after saluting, he glanced at them slightly by turning around, and did not stand behind the military generals, but stood in the middle of the military generals under the false guidance of his father-in-law's one-handed hand.

"If you have nothing to do, retreat." The father-in-law arranged the position for Zhao Zhou, looked back, and saw that the ministers were also waiting for Zhao Zhou to finish listening to the seal, and they did not speak, so they returned to the steps, helped up the saint, and returned to the dormitory from the back of the palace.

It was also at this time that all the ministers and princes seemed to react, and shouted in unison, "Congratulations to the Holy One!" ’

After the saint left, they went together in twos and threes, and they also began to leave the court one after another.

Similarly, Zhao Zhou saluted, looked up and saw that the Seven Princes of General Wen glanced at him, but he did not say a word, and left with the Seven Princes.

"This morning the morning ended before noon." When the Seventh Prince walked out of the palace gate, his face was a little helpless. Because he actually had a plan to play, but looking at the atmosphere, thinking that his affairs were too small, he didn't dare to open his mouth to play, so he closed his mouth.

"It's better to listen to the music as soon as possible." Zhao Zhou didn't care, said a word, and walked straight towards the gate of the palace.

And those ministers and princes, after leaving the palace, no one came up to talk to Zhao Zhou and the Seven Princes at all, they all went their own way, or a few people walked slowly and whispered, and they didn't even say a formal 'congratulations to their colleagues on their promotion'.

However, when Zhao Zhou left the palace and got into the carriage with the seven princes.

When the owner of the six doors who came out a few steps ahead of Zhao Zhou left in his own carriage and passed Zhao Zhou, he 'hula' opened the curtain and looked at Zhao Zhou, who did not lower the curtain in the carriage, and said, "Lord Zhao, congratulations."

"Thank you, Master." Zhao Zhou returned the salute and shook his hand with a smile, "If it weren't for the door master's proposal review, I would report it to the saint." He also sent someone to inform the landlord and nominate Zhao Zhou. Zhao Zhou also can't do this position of inspector. ”

"Definitely."

The door owner shook his head, and the carriage under the seat did not stop, "If Lord Zhao doesn't have this ability, no matter how much I do, it will be useless." ”
