The night in Hongyu Tower is destined to be long. When Xiao Lingyao and Qin Feng left the secret door, the sound of silk music inside was still going on. In an elegant room upstairs, Zuo Pingdao and Bai Lianzhou were exchanging glasses of wine.

They each held a girl in their arms just now, and now they are also sending her away.

Bai Lianzhou filled Zuo Pingdao with wine and suddenly sighed: "I think we lived in the same courtyard when we were in the palace. It's fate."

That was during the selection of the consort, Xiao Lingyao's beautiful face flashed through Zuo Pingdao's mind, and he felt a sudden sense of sadness in his heart.

"Neither you nor I have yet won a princess, but now your Bai family is very powerful. Your father is respected as the deputy prime minister, and your future is limitless." Zuo Pingdao picked up the wine glass and seemed to have something to say: "Grandmaster Bai invites you today, what will happen to you?

What's the matter?"

The two of them are not the same person at all. If it were not for the selection of the Prince Consort, they would not even have the chance to meet each other. Even when they go to court, there are hundreds of officials who stand in fixed areas according to their official positions. They are all very particular.

Bai Lianzhou invited him to Hongyu Pavilion today for no reason. He spent a lot of money in this drinking, how could he be unintentional?

Bai Lianzhou smiled awkwardly: "Can't you invite Master Zuo for a drink if you have nothing to do?"

"In this case, the joy of drinking has reached its peak. If you drink any more, you will lose your joy. Let's go back to our homes for the time being?" Zuo Pingdao smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Bai Lianzhou cursed in his heart, it was not easy to win over this person, but this was his father's request, how dare he disobey him.

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, Bai Lianzhou said with a smile: "Master Zuo has solved countless cases, and I admire you very much, so I want to make friends with Master Zuo. It doesn't matter if you are tired today, but I still feel that I haven't had enough fun. How about we make an appointment next time?"

Zuo Pingdao's eyes slid across Bai Lianzhou's face as sharply as an eagle, and he actually managed to squeeze out a smile: "Let's talk more?"

This meant that Bai Lianzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Excellent."

Stepping out of Hongyu Tower, Zuo Pingdao stepped onto the carriage. He was surrounded by the scent of Hongyu Tower spices, which was not pungent. He pressed his hands on his temples, thinking about the recent changes in the court, and slowly closed his eyes.

Thanks to the restructuring and phase-fixing, he and Hu Shangshu jointly requested a joint trial of the three departments, forcing the emperor to come forward to finalize the Bingzhou corruption case. No one seemed to pay attention to this matter anymore, and few people even took the initiative to solve it.

He passed the prince's stay-at-home order.

The most talked about thing nowadays is that Emperor Yuan banned the feet of the Taifu's wife for the sake of his consort, and there is no period to lift the ban. This shows that His Majesty is satisfied with the consort. Qin Taifu did not intercede on behalf of the prince when he was in trouble.

The prince took the initiative to suppress the bandits. He wanted to take this opportunity to lift the ban and make meritorious deeds. Unfortunately, the third prince took the lead. The prince might record this debt to him and Hu Shangshu. Zuo Pingdao sneered, he couldn't do it.

It's just to avoid the important and take the light.

If he had really helped the Crown Prince, he might not be able to sit here peacefully now. In fact, the truth is that this world is still Emperor Yuan's, and the only people he can be loyal to are the people on the Dragon Throne.

The prince is the crown prince, but if he hasn't ascended the throne for a day, his surname will be Xiao Mingyou. So what about the prince's complaints?

The Bingzhou case is in the past, and he is still the minister of Dali Temple. This is the best outcome, but the Bai family suddenly comes together?

As the carriage drove slowly, he suddenly thought of the precious daughter of Xu Ping, the former magistrate of Bingzhou. At first, she broke her body, and she made a fuss. Then she changed her mind and wanted to use his hand to escape. Suddenly he came.

Interest: "Go to Jiaoshifang."

The groom was stunned, and as soon as he came out of the Red Feather Building, he went to the Jiaosi Square with his hind legs. Can your body and bones bear it?

However, Zuo Pingdao's servant knew that Zuo Pingdao had been there mainly for drinking, eating vegetables and listening to songs, and was not very interested in the beauty in his arms.

The fire needs to be vented now.

Entering the familiar room, the woman who was sitting in front of the mirror came over fawningly. Seeing that she was wearing a gorgeous gauze, Zuo Pingdao raised the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Xue, you have finally adapted to life here."

Xu Ping's eldest daughter was originally named Xu Wan. She was a well-deserved delicate girl who wanted wind and rain in Bingzhou. Once she fell into the Jiaofang Division, after some trial and error, she was no longer the same as before.

of vigor.

"Sir..." Xue Wan couldn't figure it out here. She just learned two days ago that her father was paraded through the streets and his body was cast aside by the people.

After learning the news, she felt like a zombie on the first day, and on the second day she had a new plan. Since she was in such a situation, she might as well fight for herself. Although she hated this man for violently taking away her innocence, he was

Minister of Dali Temple.

"Today is the last time I come to your place." Zuo Pingdao didn't wait for her to continue to please him, and spoke with a wicked smile.

Xue Wan was dumbfounded, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "Sir, your first time was taken away by you, so why don't you accept this slave and let me go back to your home with you to serve you."

"Xiao Xue, do you know what the consequences of joining the Jiaofangsi are? You are now a lowly citizen. Even if you leave this place, you will still be like this. As a lowly citizen, your descendants will also be the same, and they will not be able to take the imperial examination."

"If you give birth to a daughter, she will be of the same lowly status as you, and her marriage will be as good as heaven. If you give birth to a son, her future will be cut off at birth, and she will not be able to take the imperial examination. How can they not hate you and blame you?"

"It's not that there is no way to get rid of your lowly status in this world, but it requires your majesty's golden words to get rid of it. Do you know that your majesty hates corrupt officials the most?" Zuo Pingdao said with an expressionless face, shattering Xue Wan's hope of finding a way out: "Apart from this body, you can't get rid of it.

What other bargaining chips are there?”

Xue Wan's face was as pale as a vegetable. She knew that she was finished, and her whole life was finished!

Although the Jiaofang Si belongs to the Ministry of Rites and the royal family, I heard that he is also a person who can redeem his life.

But if you can't get rid of your lowly status when you go out, you will have to live a life of inferiority. However, it is better than serving people with sex here. Although Jiaofangsi is not an ordinary brothel, the people who serve are all dignitaries, so what, there are still thousands of people.

The essence of riding.

"Sir, I have something to tell you. Before my father's case, I heard him discussing something with others in the study, and he once mentioned something..."

Xue Wan knelt down at Zuo Pingdao's feet: "If your Excellency can help me get out of the Jiaofang Department, I am willing to tell you everything. Even if I can't get rid of my lowly status, I am willing to do so. Sir, this matter is a secret of the royal family, and I have never dared to do so."

For the sake of outsiders.”

"The secrets of the royal family?" Zuo Pingdao sobered up for several minutes, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "Do you know that it is also a sin to make unreasonable remarks about the royal family?"

Xue Wan was suppressed by his aura and couldn't help but lower her voice: "I know it, but I also know that very few people know this secret. The master also passed away long ago. I feel that if he knew it, he might be killed, but

Maybe it’s an opportunity?”

She really didn't have much leverage, so she suddenly pulled this past incident out of her mind, but she regretted it after she said it.
