The Yulin Army in the cell had a disheveled hair and was covered in dust. Even the armor on her body was stripped off by the jailer, leaving only the sleeveless guard inside.

He looked up at Chen Ji, not sure if he heard it wrong, and did not dare to speak rashly for a while.

The golden pig rolled his eyes, and with his hands on his back, he glanced at Chen Ji: "The Chen boy wants to be a hero? Do you know where this is? This is my inner court prison! It is not easy to save you. I didn't say that I wanted to save these people, so don't make things difficult for me."

Chen Ji bowed and said, "I'll ask Lord Jinzhu to give up his hands, and I'll give you a good reward."

The golden pig looked around the surrounding cells, pointed at the poor soldiers inside and sneered: "My secret spy department in prison, if I had the ability, I would have gone out long ago, and you would not need to save me; those who can't get out are not very capable, so what's the use of you to save them?"

After saying that, he looked at Yu Linjun in the cell in front of him: "What's your name? What's your home?"

Yu Linjun stood up nervously: "The villain Lin Yanchu, his father is a tenant from Fengtai County. His ancestors once served in the Long Live Army and served as the commander of the sergeant."

The golden pig sneered: "Son of the tenant, no wonder you can't get out."

He looked at another cell again: "What's your name? What's your home?"

All ten nails of the Yulin Army in the cell were exposed by the prison guards, and they only whispered: "Little man Li Guang, his father was a dyer in the Dongcheng Wangji Silk House. His ancestors worked in the fifth military camp and served as more than a hundred households."

The golden pig said disdainfully: "Downtown."

Li Guang lowered his head.

The golden pig glanced at Chen Ji: "Do you still need to save me?"

Chen Ji bowed again: "My lord also knows that they are wronged. It is already a blessing for poor families to join the Yulin Army. He also asked Lord Jinzhu to give them a life because of their ancestors who served the court."

"Who doesn't serve the court?" Jinzhu sneered: "But since you have spoken, I will keep this account on your head and you will pay it back for them."

Chen Ji replied: "Okay."

The Yulin soldiers in the cell woke up like a dream and came to the iron railing one by one and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Jinzhu!"

The Golden Pig waved impatiently: "What do you thank me for? What's the use of thanking you for your dilapidated house?"

The Yulin Army changed its words: "Thank you, Lord Chen!"

The Golden Pig called the prisoner and said disgustedly: "Give them the armor back. Remember to send it out of Taiye Pool, don't let them wander around in Taiye Pool."

Chen Ji watched the Yulin soldiers pick up their armor and leave in a hurry, fearing that the golden pig would go back on their word.

When the Golden Pig saw that people were walking away, she patted Chen Ji's shoulder with a smile: "I'm still worried that you are too honest and unwilling to cooperate with me to pretend to act and win people's hearts. It's great and you'll make progress."

Chen Ji stood in the long dark corridor, looking at the depths of the darkness and whispered: "The road I want to walk is too long, I am afraid that I will not walk far by myself."

The Golden Pig suddenly sighed: "Who said it was not... The person came and brought the files of the twenty-four Yulin Army just now."

Chen Ji looked at Zhang Xia, but saw that the other party was still silently reciting something.

Zhang Zheng laughed happily and said, "Since you gave her the path of cultivation, she has practiced day and night, and she doesn't want to say a word. She could recite silently twice incense sticks, but now she is very skillful in reciting silently, and can practice four times incense sticks."

Chen Ji thought to himself that he could only recite one stick of incense once, and there were three times in ten times that he had typos. If he made a mistake, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

He calculated Zhang Xia's speed of cultivation: "If you can recite the second sister silently for four hours a day, you can recite it ten thousand times in more than seventy days... I don't know if 10,000 times is the innate threshold?"

Zhang Zheng smiled and said, "She recites more than four hours a day. Apart from eating and sleeping, she probably has eight hours, so she doesn't feel annoyed."

At this time, Xiaoman saw that Zhang Xia had not finished reading, and shouted: "Young Master, don't worry about your second sister first, hurry up, come and cross the brazier."

Chen Ji turned his head and saw a copper basin not far away, filled with straw.

Xiaoman took out a fire strip, squatted beside the copper basin and blew the straw. When the fire was at its peak, Chen Ji was pulled over the brazier by Zhang Zheng.

In the sunset, Xiaoman clapped his hands and smiled: "The City God blesses evil and avoids disasters, and bad luck will go away!"

Chen Ji smiled: "Why did you bring a brazier?"

Xiaoman widened his eyes: "What is this what the young master said? No one answered him when Xia Jiuliu was out of prison. You have a family and brothers and sisters. Of course, you need a brazier to pick him up."

Chen Ji was stunned.

Zhang Zheng pulled him to Qipan Street: "After walking, you have to welcome the air after crossing the brazier. Go to Qipan Street to eat a bowl of hot pork-foot noodles. This is called 'washing feet and going to the shore'."

Xiaoman glared at him: "Can you speak? My young master was wronged. What are the feet washed and what shores are you going to? You have to eat pearl cabbage and tofu soup, and you are innocent!"

Zhang Zheng thought for a while: "Then go to the 'Bianyifang'!"

At this time, a sudden voice sounded next to him: "Jiaotu led people to search the Huitong Pavilion, and found an ink ingot made of horse money in the luggage of the prince of Goryeo. The evidence and physical evidence are all available. Now the imperial court ordered the Goryeo delegation not to leave the Huitong Pavilion for a second step. The cabinet masters are discussing how to deal with them. If they dare to plot against the Heavenly Kingdom by death, they will be severely punished... But the reinforcements of Goryeo seem to be put on the agenda. After all, our dynasty needs Goryeo to restrain Jing Chao from the side, and we cannot really sit and watch them lose their country."

Chen Ji, Xiaoman, and Zhang Zheng turned around and looked, but Zhang Xia had finished reading it and answered Chen Ji's initial question.

Zhang Zheng laughed: "Don't worry about the Lao Shizi and Goryeo delegation at this time. They suffer for themselves. Let's go and eat pearl cabbage and tofu soup at Bianyifang."

Zhang Xia suddenly said, "Don't go to Bianyifang, go to Chen's house to eat."

Zhang Zheng was puzzled: "What are you doing when you go to the Chen family?"

Zhang Xia said confidently: "Let's go to the Chen family."

...

...

Under the night, the four of them walked across the Fuyou Street and knocked on the side door of Chen's Mansion, but they waited for a long time but no one responded.

Zhang Xia raised his hand and pointed to the crack in the door. A touch of invisible sword energy passed through, and cut the door latch from the crack in the door.

Xiaoman widened his eyes: "How many days have the second sister been practicing?"

Zhang Xia casually explained: "The sword energy is recovering slowly now, so I can only use it once a day. Maybe it will be better to reach the innate realm."

She pushed open the door, but saw a servant sitting in the chair next to her, looking at Chen Ji and others at a loss: "How can you...be forcibly breaking through?"

Zhang Xia walked straight to Qinzheng Garden and said murderously: "The Chen family went back to their own house, but the servants were guarding the door but refused to open it. Xiaoman slapped him."

Xiaoman said aloud.

She stepped forward, grabbed the servant's neckline with her left hand, and opened the left and right hand, making the servant dizzy.

Zhang Xia walked in the gravel road without looking back: "Xiaoman, which yard do you live in?"

Xiaoman let go of the servant and jumped to lead the way for Zhang Xia.

Chen Ji and Zhang Zheng looked at Zhang Xia's murderous look and looked at each other... How could they come to have a meal?

When he arrived at the Ginkgo Garden where Chen Ji lived, Zhang Xia sat on the stone chair and looked towards the courtyard gate.

Chen Ji was puzzled: "You are..."

Zhang Xia said calmly: "Wait for someone."

After half a stick of incense, I heard noisy footsteps outside the door.

With a bang, someone kicked the gate open and shouted loudly: "Get out for me..."

The person who kicked the door was a nanny wearing gray cloth clothes. She looked up and saw Zhang Xia in the yard, and her momentum suddenly suffocated: "Who are you?"

Zhang Xia sat on the stone chair and said coldly: "Who are you? As a servant of the Chen family, how dare you kick the door of the master?"

The nanny subconsciously looked behind her and gave way to a calm woman behind her.

The woman was wearing an apricot yellow double-breasted silk shirt and a hair cover made of gold and silver wire, covering a fake bun, and an emerald green jade hairpin was inserted on the bun.

She slowly walked into the yard, and the two servants carried an embroidery pier in the yard. Then she sat down and said, "Miss Zhang Er, I saw you on the birthday of Master Xu Ge, but I don't know if you are visiting my Chen Mansion today, do you have a message?"

Chen Ji bowed and said, "I invited them here, there is no need to pay a visit."

The woman smiled and said arrogantly: "When will my Chen family son be qualified to invite outsiders to visit the house? Why don't I remember this rule?"

Zhang Xia said slowly: "Mrs. In the 21st year of Xuande, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Qi Yan, was born in a concubine. Emperor Xuande once praised him for his diligence in political affairs, saying, "The law is nothing more than human feelings. If the legitimate son is not filial and the concubine son is virtuous, he should pay the concubine son with his family business and the whole clan."

The 'Second Lady' Wang also quoted the scriptures and said: "Ning Shenzong wanted to make the concubine son born to Concubine Zheng the crown prince, but was advised by the chief minister Qi Yan, 'the ancestors' family rules and establish the legitimate eldest son as the eldest son. The eldest son of the emperor is the chief crown prince. Although the imperial concubine is virtuous, he should not be disorganized.' This is what Qi Yan and the Qi Pavilion Master himself said. I think he also knows that there is a difference between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son."

Zhang Zheng and Xiaoman looked solemn, and they were tough.

Zhang Xia's expression remained unchanged: "I, Daning Lu, said that the legitimate son and son of a illegitimate son, analyze the family's wealth, land, and property, and do not ask about wives, concubines, and maids, and all divide the number of sons equally."

Wang smiled and said, "The House of Daning Lu also said, "If the concubine's son steals the title, he will be 80 years old and seize the title. Only those who have no children in their legitimate wife can be appointed as the eldest son of the concubine if they have no children in their ranks."

One person said to inherit the family property, and the other said to inherit the title.

We are both experts who are proficient in rules and regulations. No one can gain the upper hand when countering each other when they are moved. If we continue to debate, we are afraid that we will not be able to make a result tomorrow morning.

Wang said in a gentle voice: "Miss Zhang Er, why should I get into this muddy water?"

Zhang Xia said calmly: "Second Lady, the former emperor was born in a vassal king."

Wang's expression changed.

She picked up the handkerchief and dipped it into the corner of her mouth: "I heard that Miss Zhang Er is extremely intelligent, but today I saw it very different. But, you come to judge me, my son Chen Wenren missed time to arrest the bandits, but was whipped a hundred times without asking. What is this? As a concubine of the Chen family, Chen Ji did not help her brothers, but helped outsiders in the family. What is this? The so-called brotherhood is nature. Isn't Chen Ji's move against human nature?"

Zhang Xia said seriously: "Taihang Mountain bandit Chen Feng Zeng Xiao gathered 500 bandits to control the official road to burn, kill, and loot, and do everything evil. Later, he was surrounded and suppressed by the Wansui Army. He changed his name and surname. In the 27th year of Jianing, he quietly entered Beijing and hid in Nianzi Hutong. The second wife, dare to ask who gave him the 1,300 taels of silver he bought into the mansion? In addition, who gave him the household registration after he entered Beijing?"

Wang subconsciously clenched the veil in his hand, but said as if nothing had happened on his face: "How can I know this?"

Zhang Xia also said: "In the winter of the 29th year of Jianing, Chen Feng secretly met a man named Wang outside the City God Temple. That night, he sneaked into the home of Zhou Yuanwai in Dongcheng and killed 14 members of the Zhou family. Does the wife want to know who he secretly met?"

Wang's expression changed again, and he stood up and left: "Miss Zhang Er leaned on the Xu family, so he was so proud."

The servants and nannies looked at each other, and when they came, they were full of momentum, but when they left, they ended up in a hurry.

Xiaoman said in a daze: "Just leave like this?"

Zhang Xia explained: "She is in a hurry to send someone to kill someone to silence him."

Zhang Zheng looked at their departure backs and turned to look at Zhang Xia: "So you expected that the second house of the Chen family would make things difficult for Chen Ji, so you insisted on coming to Chen's house for dinner?"
