King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Out of the secluded house.

"Someone is coming."

The beautiful woman returned to her room and shouted loudly at the door.

For a moment.

A pretty figure walked in from the door, bowed and said:
"Your servant greets the Madam."

See the person coming.

The beautiful woman waved her hand at him, half-closed her eyes and stared at the girl crawling on the ground for a long time, and said in a deep voice:

"Xiaoyue..."

"Can I trust you?"

The maid kneeling on the ground subconsciously raised her head, her expression full of confusion, and looked at her master in astonishment. She was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said:
"Husband... madam."

"Xiaoyue's family's lives were saved by Madam. If Madam hadn't intervened three years ago to save our family and scare off the thief, it would have been a disaster."

"I'm afraid my family and I won't be able to survive to stand here."

"Madam, if you have anything to ask, you can tell this servant directly."

"I will never frown even if I have to go through fire and water."

Say it.

Xiaoyue's expression became serious, and she kowtowed with an extremely solemn face.

See this situation.

The beautiful woman couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, slowly stood up from the armchair, and reached out to gently help Xiaoyue, who was kneeling on the ground.

After a moment's silence, she reached out and gently patted her shoulder, and said solemnly:

"Xiaoyue!"

"Now our mansion has reached a point of life and death."

"If there is no other way, I don't want you to take the risk."

"And in the entire mansion, I don't know how many people here belong to other people, and how many people are truly loyal to our mansion."

"You are the only one I can trust 100% now."

"So... I can only let you take the risk and take this trip."

"If successful, our mansion will be safe."

"If we fail..."

I didn’t say anything else after that.

But we are all smart people and naturally know what the implication is.

While talking.

The beautiful woman turned around and strode towards the wooden table. She reached out and gently picked up the letter that had already been sealed on the table. She slowly walked in front of Xiaoyue, stuffed it into her arms, and then shook her jade hand tightly.

"Take the back door."

"Hurry and go to the residence of Zhong Kairan, the governor of Xijiang."

"This letter must be delivered to the highest-ranking official in the Zhong Mansion at this time."

"Remember."

"This letter should not be given or handed over to anyone other than the highest-ranking official."

"It must be handed over to that person personally."

"Do you understand?"

After hearing this.

Feeling the heavy meaning in the words, Xiaoyue subconsciously asked:

"lady……"

"Are you looking for Xijiang Provincial Governor Zhong Kairan?"

"Give it to him?"

As soon as his voice fell.

Hearing the name mentioned by Xiaoyue, the beautiful woman's eyes could not help but flash a trace of disgust. She shook her head without further explanation and just said:

"I don't know who it is."

"But... wait until you get to the Zhong Mansion."

"I understand."

"However, remember not to be afraid or surprised no matter what happens in the Zhong Mansion."

"Just tell the people inside that they want to see their highest-ranking official."

"Tell them that you have the person they want to find most and the answers they want to know most."

"If you want to come inside, you will definitely be seen."

He paused, reached out and gently patted Xiaoyue's shoulder again, saying:

"okay."

"Don't ask any more questions."

"We don't have much time left."

"The sooner this letter is sent, the safer you and I will be."

"Hurry up and go..."

“Delivered as quickly as possible.”

"Go!"

That's all for this.

Xiaoyue had many confusions and doubts in her heart.

But seeing his master's serious expression.

She is not stupid.

I also know that the matter here is probably not an ordinary big deal.

immediately.

She didn't dare to ask any more questions. She bowed to the beautiful woman, then turned around and strode out the door.

See the figure disappearing into the darkness.

After a while, the beautiful woman withdrew her gaze, her face full of sorrow, and murmured in a low voice:

"Hey……"

"I hope the letter can be delivered safely!"

"otherwise……"

As she spoke, she shook her head.

After a brief silence, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked down at her slightly messy hair and clothes. Her face and eyes were full of disgust. She shouted angrily at the door:
"Someone is coming..."

"Prepare some hot water for me quickly. I want to take a bath."

As she spoke, she reached out and quickly took off the brocade robe she was wearing, threw it viciously to the ground, and kicked it away.

A piece of snow-white exposed to the air looks particularly tempting and makes people unable to help but yearn for it. However, if you look closely, you can see many dark red marks and lines on the fingers and palms on that piece of snow-white.

And being able to leave such a trace on this snowy land.

It is conceivable how rude Zhong Kairan was just now, without any mercy for women at all.

After a while.

The tightly closed door was pushed open, and four beautiful figures appeared at the door.

Quickly prepare hot water for bathing and adjust it to the appropriate temperature.

"lady……"

"The hot water is ready."

"lady…"

The rest of the words were left unsaid.

He was interrupted by the beautiful woman standing behind the screen. She said:

"okay."

"I understand."

"If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

"I will bathe myself today, so I don't need you to wait on me."

"promise!"

Got the order.

The four maids who were preparing to serve bathing in the room did not dare to say a word. They retreated obediently and closed the door.

"call……"

When everyone left, the beautiful woman came out from behind the screen.

She stepped into the hot water prepared by the maids.

Then, she reached out and picked up the towel over the bathtub, and rubbed her body hard with disgust in her eyes.

Even though her body was already red and swollen from scrubbing, she seemed to feel nothing and continued to enjoy it.

It was as if there was some invisible dirt on her body, and she tried her best to wash it away.

……

at the same time.

On the wide street.

Xiaoyue came out of the mansion and hurried towards the Zhong Mansion with a worried look on her face.

While she was running, she kept looking back from time to time, as if something was following her, and her expression was tense all the way.

But it's okay.

Along the way, she didn't encounter any danger.

He arrived at the place his master had ordered him to go without any obstruction, which was not far from the Zhong Mansion.

Wait and see that the lights around the Zhong Mansion are on, and there are patrolling guards holding swords everywhere.

Xiaoyue couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back.

But he was thinking about his wife's instructions.

She calmed herself down, and although she was extremely frightened by the situation before her, she did not hesitate at all and walked straight forward.

"Who?"

Hasn't arrived yet.

His thin body had already been spotted by the patrolling soldiers. While they were questioning him, several soldiers holding swords that could make people feel cold all over their bodies quickly surrounded the place where Xiaoyue was jogging.

"Don't, don't, don't..."

“Mercy…Mercy.”

Seeing a group of soldiers surrounding him.

Xiaoyue was so frightened that she stammered and begged for mercy subconsciously.

The soldiers who were gathering around were stunned when they saw Xiaoyue begging for mercy weakly in front of them, and they looked her up and down.

When I saw her, she didn't pose any threat and didn't look like a bad person.

In this regard.

He didn't intend to embarrass her, so he waved his hand and said:

"okay!"

"This place is under martial law."

"Don't let anyone get close for now."

"Besides, it's late at night. You are a weak girl, don't hang around outside for no reason."

"Go back early."

"Leave here quickly..."

Say it.

Several soldiers made a gesture to turn around and leave.

Don't want to waste time with it.

Seeing the soldiers about to leave, Xiaoyue came back to her senses and said quickly:
"My Lords, wait a minute."

As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the Zhong Mansion, which was under martial law.
"Several officials."

"Is that the residence of the Chief Secretary, Mr. Zhong Kairan, in front of us?"

This statement came out.

The soldiers who were about to leave stopped abruptly in an instant.

They turned around suddenly, surrounded him again with lightning speed, and asked sternly:
"Who are you?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What's the intention?"

"Come to me quickly."

As he spoke, the icy blade that was emitting a chill that made one's body shiver was already placed on Xiaoyue's neck.

Moreover, the guards at this moment were no longer able to talk as before.

Instead, his face was filled with gloom and his words became extremely unkind.

It seemed as if he would be taken down directly if they had any disagreement.

When has Xiaoyue ever seen such a scene?

The sudden change frightened her so much that she trembled and couldn't even speak clearly. She quickly explained herself:

"No, no, no...it's not."

"My Lords, listen to me...listen to me."

"I am following the orders of my master."

"I need to see the person in charge inside. I have something very important to report."

"There's really no other meaning. There's really no other meaning."

"I hope the officials can inform this little girl."

"Please, officials."

While talking.

She trembled and knelt down in front of the few people.

Of course there was pleading, but also fear.

See this situation.

Several soldiers couldn't help but look at each other, then half-closed their eyes and stared at the girl who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and said in a deep voice:
"What's important?"

"Report it quickly, I will pass the message on for you."

After hearing this, Xiaoyue, who was kneeling on the ground, was terrified, but she did not forget her master's instructions. She shook her head frantically and said:
"No, no, no... No, absolutely not."

"When I came here, the master specifically told me."

"I have to see the person in charge inside before I can tell you."

"I hope the Supreme Official will forgive me."

"My master also said so when I came here."

"The matter reported this time is what the master in charge wants to know most right now."

"Don't worry, gentlemen. I will never play tricks on you. I guarantee this with my life."

"Delay will lead to changes, time waits for no one!"

"I'd like to trouble you, gentlemen, to report this as soon as possible."

This statement came out.

Several soldiers couldn't help but be stunned.

What does the person in charge want to know most?

And the person in front of you is willing to guarantee his life?

For them, the situation inside was very clear to them.

Naturally, he also knew who the person in charge was, and he also knew what the person in charge wanted to know most right now.

Although they were skeptical about what the girl said, they didn't quite believe it.

However, we dare not be arrogant or negligent in this matter.

Several people looked at each other, then glared coldly at Xiaoyue who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"I hope what you said is true..."

"otherwise……"

The rest of the words were not finished.

But the threat in the words was extremely clear.

"No, no, no... absolutely not, absolutely not."

"It's all true. It's all true."

"I would never dare to tell a lie, absolutely not."

Xiaoyue shook her head like a rattle and replied with certainty.

See this situation.

None of them dared to say anything.

Then one of them ran hurriedly towards the Zhong Mansion.

The rest of the people surrounded Xiaoyue tightly.

Da da da……

Not long after.

The soldier who went to report came back and waved to the soldiers surrounding Xiaoyue, and then said in a deep voice to Xiaoyue who was kneeling on the ground:

"okay."

"Get up!"

"The commander-in-chief is waiting inside."

"Follow me quickly to see the commander."

"Don't keep the adults waiting too long."

Get a definite answer.

These words sounded like the sound of nature to Xiaoyue's ears.

Without any hesitation, he quickly got up from the ground and said to several soldiers:

"Thank you...thank you officials."

"I am very grateful..."

Say it.

She quickly caught up with the guards and trotted into the courtyard.

.........

The inner courtyard of the Zhong Mansion.

Xiaoyue kept her head down the whole time, feeling the gazes being directed at her from all around, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

After passing through several courtyards.

The two finally came in front of Ji Gang.

The guard bowed respectfully and said:

"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief."

"People are here."

Ji Gang, who was staring at the entrance of the secret passage, half-closed his eyes and came back to his senses. He looked up and down at Xiaoyue who was standing not far away, and asked in a deep voice:

"I heard you want to see me?"

"You also falsely claim that you have clues to the matter that I want to know most?"

Xiaoyue heard this, raised her head timidly, and asked carefully:

"Sir...you?"

"I am Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty."

"I am a second-rank official. This time, I am investigating Xijiang Provincial Administration Commissioner Zhong Kairan for corruption, abuse of power, and corruption for personal gain."

"He is also the person with the highest official position here."

Ji Gang was such a smart person that he naturally understood what he wanted to ask and what he was worried about. He then directly stated his identity and took out his identity card.

See this situation.

Xiaoyue was completely relieved. She reached into her bosom, took out the letter that the beautiful woman had stuffed into her bosom, and handed it forward with both hands:
"grown ups……"

"Everything is written down in the letter by the owner."

"Wait until I read the letter."

"Your Excellency will understand."
