The reason why this old lady chose to come to Qinglian Nunnery today was because she was deliberately avoiding something.

Zhao An and his brother Zhao Kong are rampant and domineering in the Chuzhou territory, a large part of which is because of the support of Zhao Ji, the master of the Anle Palace, in order to show their status in Chuzhou. And this old lady is kind-hearted, so she naturally can't get used to it, and she can't influence Zhao Ji, so she has to turn to the Buddha every day.

Today, Zhao Ji openly wanted to hold a funeral for this dog slave and take the opportunity to collect money, but the old lady was helpless, so she wanted to come here to be quiet for a few days.

After the incense was finished, the old lady came to the place specially prepared for her in the nunnery to meditate.

Miao Ling found an opportunity to go to Master Cihui to mention Lu Bu's matter.

At this time, Lu Bu had just returned to his residence.

Because he ran into those officials looking for him on the way, Lu Bu had to hide in a hidden place, so when he returned home, Diao Chan had already walked out of hiding.

The two of them still couldn't figure out what this Anle Palace was, but their intuition told them that this should be a more magnificent and mysterious place than Fei Yong's Uncle Mansion.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Miao Ling brought good news: the old lady gave enough mercy to face, not only promised Lu Bu that he could go to Anle Palace, but also asked him to follow him and protect his safety when he went out.

This means that Lu Bu can enjoy full freedom when the old lady has nothing to do.

Such an errand is unthinkable to ordinary people.

"The general must not make another incident here, so as not to be remembered by the concubine, and remember to avoid those officials." Diao Chan was really not at ease with Lu Bu, and told him for a long time.

The old lady stayed in Qinglian Nunnery for three days, and when she left, she called Lu Bu.

"It's a pity that Tang Zhuangshi has such a character, stooping to be a slave in my house, if you have the opportunity, I should recommend you to go to the yamen to listen to the errand." When the old lady saw Lu Bu, she couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Bu hurriedly shook his head.

"The villain can't stand the constraints of the government in his life, the old lady is so loved, the villain is already flattered, and there is really no other hope."

The old lady was very happy with Lu Bu's answer.

"Since Tang Zhuangshi said so, the old woman has no choice but to take you with him for the time being, if he has a good opportunity in the future, the old woman will definitely help."

"Thank you, old lady."

Miao Ling kept blinking at Lu Bu on the side, but Lu Bu didn't understand what she meant.

Back at Anle Palace, Zhao An's funeral had already been completed, but today, the house was still very lively.

Zhao Kong, who had just taken over his brother's position, was like a flea that had been put into a cup, constantly jumping up and down, directing the servants to turn around.

In the living room, Zhao Ji was talking with Bao Zheng, who had just come here.

"Xia Guan came to visit the old palace master this time, first, I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss it very much. The second is because of the murder of Zhao An, the housekeeper of the house, in Beijing. Long live Qin enshrined the officials as the supervision of the imperial history, specializing in Henan and Anhui, and the officials did not dare to slack off, and asked the palace master to help vigorously. Bao Zheng said.

In fact, this Zhao Ji's age is only about fifty, but he neglects to exercise all the year round, his body is not very good, his face looks a little pale, and his attitude towards Master Bao is very kind.

Behind him, there stood two temperamental maids, holding incense burners and paper fans in their hands, and bursts of incense flowed in the living room.

"Lord Bao is the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and also serves as the post of supervising the imperial history, it can be said that he is very busy, but he has to personally run for the affairs of the slaves of the house, the king is really grateful, but this Zhao An must be a slave in the house, and the king has also arranged a very beautiful funeral for him, and properly arranged his family, which is also a matter of heart. As for the investigation of the murderer, in the opinion of this king, it is better for the Anle Palace to investigate it on its own, and Master Bao does not need to interfere. Zhao Ji said unhurriedly.

Bao Zheng was a little puzzled.

"Yi Gong Ye means ......"

Zhao Ji seemed to hesitate, but he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Bao, this Zhao An is competing with another house slave in the house for a maid, and that house slave is disgruntled, so he kills people." This matter has already been dealt with by the king, and the slave has been driven out of the house after being punished by the king. I hope that Lord Bao will not make a noise about this matter, so as not to lose my royal face. ”

Bao Zheng didn't expect this to be the case.

Zhao Ji's disposal of his house slave is understandable, even if he cuts off his head, it is only an internal matter in his mansion, and the government has no right to intervene, but he feels that this matter does not seem to be as simple as Zhao Ji said.

Evil slaves killed people, just a little punishment and drove them out of the house?

However, Master Bao was silent.

"Since the palace master said so, the lower officials are interested, so it's okay not to mention this matter anymore."

"Master Bao really understands me." Zhao Ji laughed.

The corners of Bao Zheng's fat mouth also twitched slightly.

"Come on, go to the Chuzhou Mansion to take a look, why hasn't Lord Shen come at such a time?" Zhao Ji instructed a family member who was guarding the door.

It turned out that when Bao Zheng entered the door, he had already sent someone to invite Shen Pu.

Shen Pu didn't come for a long time.

After a long time, the family sent to return.

"Back to the old palace master, then Lord Shen has an important guest in the house today, and it is inconvenient to come out, I hope that the old palace master will forgive the sins, and he will come to the door to apologize another day, and specially told the villain that after the adult has finished eating, he can go to the mansion to live." The family said.

Zhao Ji's face became gloomy.

The former held a funeral for Zhao An, although Shen Pu came, he was dressed in civilian clothes, and left in a hurry after a few words of greeting, and he didn't seem to take himself as an Anle palace master in his eyes at all.

"Lord Bao, this king heard that this Lord Shen is Fei Yong's cousin, and he is also the cousin of the imperial concubine in the palace. Now, beware of this Lord Shen waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Zhao Ji said.

Master Bao smiled faintly.

"Although the lower official has never met Lord Shen, I heard that this person is full of poetry and books, and it is expected that he should also be a sensible person, otherwise he would not have been so appreciative of the ancestral system, arrogating the ancestral system, and being promoted to the position of the prefect, I guess he would not be embarrassed by the lower official."

"I hope what Master Bao said is right." Zhao Ji said, seemingly disagreeing.

At this time, Zhao Kong personally ran in to report.

"Back to the old palace master, the wine and food have been arranged, and the old palace master and Master Bao are invited to sit down."

"Hmm." Zhao Ji stood up with the support of the two maids, but pointed at Zhao Kong and said, "This person is Zhao An's younger brother, and this king specially arranged to come to the mansion to serve in order to comfort Zhao An's heart." ”

Zhao Kong hurriedly walked over and was about to bow down, but was pulled by Master Bao.

Master Bao stared at Zhao Kong's face.

"The old palace master treats your brothers as relatives, and I hope you will not live up to the good intentions of the old palace master."

"The slave knows."

Bao Zheng didn't see a trace of sadness on Zhao Kong's face, but caught a hint of pride.

Bao Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, although he promised Zhao Ji on the surface that he would no longer track down the murderer who killed Zhao An, but the mystery hidden behind this scene must be thoroughly investigated.
