I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 86 The Law of Conservation of Luck of the Saint’s Remnant Soul!

The remnant soul of the saint in Xiao Ming's necklace looked solemn at this moment because he was in danger.

The so-called crisis was not that something went wrong with him, but that he felt something was going to go wrong with Xiao Ming.

Because Xiao Ming was a man of good fortune, he cracked a relatively large smuggling case just two days after taking office.

The most outrageous thing is that the clue was discovered by Xiao Ming by accident.

In fact, when Xiao Ming first entered the Ministry of Justice, he was very anxious and wanted to find a big case to solve, such as the death of the crown prince. As long as he solved it, he would definitely be promoted.

The remnant soul of the saint was speechless at the time and said that he was overthinking it. He was a non-staff member and there was no way he could be involved in a case of this level.

Naturally, the cases assigned to him were some minor ones involving catching thieves.

Despite the earnest advice of the saint's remaining soul, he still went to catch it.

When they caught him, the thief climbed over a wall and Xiao Ming followed him in.

Not only was the thief caught here, but smuggled salt was also found in one of the rooms.

Originally, people thought it was just a small case, but the Ministry of Justice followed the clues based on the information he provided, and even arrested many officials from the Salt Administration.

Xiao Ming was also appreciated by the newly appointed Minister of Justice Pang Jin, and it is estimated that he will be able to become a regular employee in no time.

And at the beginning, he was just going to catch a small thief.

Even the remnant soul of the saint felt that this guy must have been accumulating good luck for a long time, and it exploded here.

However, the remnant soul of the saint has gotten used to it. Xiao Ming had often encountered such things before.

For example, he fell off a cliff with serious injuries, but not only did he survive by hanging on a tree, he also found a treasure cave nearby.

Being chased by monsters, accidentally encountering an injured strong man, etc.

But today, luck came again.

According to the saint's remnant soul's research on Xiao Ming's fortune, as long as this guy leaves a woman, a new woman will appear after a while.

No doubt about it, on his way home from get off work today, he really had a chance to be a hero and save a damsel in distress.

Moreover, this woman is incredibly beautiful. With her looks and figure, she is definitely one in a million.

That's why the remnant soul of the saint felt that Xiao Ming was in danger.

If I follow my old habits and become a bootlicker again, I will probably waste my time just as I achieve a little success.

Why did the remnant soul of the saint feel this way? Because Xiao Ming had already put on his signature dog-licking face and started chatting with Wu Nanzhi.

What is the iconic dog-licking face? According to the summary of the remnant soul of the saint, it means that he can't walk when he sees a woman, and instantly forgets what he is going to do next, and just wants to stay with this woman more.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. In Xiao Ming's opinion, the figure and appearance of the beauty in front of him are just like a mature older sister.

He had just recovered from a tragic relationship, wasn't he in need of the comfort of an older sister?
Xiao Ming said, "There are many hooligans in the capital at this time. Miss, where are you going? If it's far, I can escort you there."

Because Xiao Ming helped Wu Nanzhi out of the predicament, Wu Nanzhi still expressed his gratitude and pointed to the shop next to him and said: "Thank you for your kindness, my home is here."

This was the first time they met, and Xiao Ming felt embarrassed to stay by Wu Nanzhi's side all the time.

He silently memorized the name of the store. After all, this was his way home, so he would just find opportunities to visit it more often in the future.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then said goodbye politely.

Xiao Ming did not leave until he saw Wu Nanzhi step into the store with his own eyes.

At this moment, the majestic voice of the saint's remnant soul emerged in his mind.

"Disciple, have you forgotten the original reason for joining the Ministry of Justice? The girl from the Chu family is still in dire straits, and you are just beginning to fall in love with someone else?"

Xiao Ming quickly explained: "Master, you misunderstood. How could I forget the agreement with Ruoyan? I am just fulfilling my duty and doing justice to this dress."

Upon hearing this, the corner of the saint's remaining soul's mouth twitched slightly.

You didn't want to do it yesterday, why are you interested in it today?

The remnant soul of the saint will not believe Xiao Ming’s nonsense now. When he returns, he will find a way to provoke Xiao Ming.

As soon as Xiao Ming left, Wu Qi returned to the store because he had already prepared a gift to the Chu family.

"What? Ma Gao actually came to the capital and is pestering my aunt? Tell me where he is, or I'll break his legs!"

Wu Qi had a bad temper. When he heard that his aunt was bullied in front of the store, he naturally couldn't tolerate it.

Of course he knew Ma Gao, he had fought with Ma Gao before.

"He's gone. A passing official came to my rescue." "Lucky for him. Auntie, please be careful next time. I'm going to the banquet now. Goodbye."

After saying that, Wu Qi changed his clothes and left in a hurry.

At the same time, in the compound of the Ministry of Justice, Pang Jin was checking Xiao Ming's file.

"This kid's family was destroyed, and he walked all the way from the border to the imperial capital. After arriving in the imperial capital, he mixed in the cultivation circle. He didn't come into contact with any dangerous people, and he is quite powerful. He can indeed be cultivated."

Pang Jin felt that Xiao Ming might be a better chess piece for the game he was going to set up in the near future.

Because in this game, there have to be some characters that cannot be detected by those hiding in the dark, and Xiao Ming can obviously be this role.

Of course, Pang Jin didn't count on Xiao Ming alone, he only regarded Xiao Ming as one of them.

As long as any one of these chess pieces can detect the enemy's presence, it will be enough.

The remnant soul of the saint would never have imagined in his dreams that the case of the prince's death would actually happen to this kid.

As night falls and the lights come on, the luxurious area in the first ring of the imperial capital is enveloped in a sea of ​​brilliant lights.

At this time, inside and outside the Chu family's courtyard, there were lights and decorations, red carpets on the ground, and it was a joyous scene. It felt even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The Chu family's housewarming banquet was undoubtedly one of the grandest events in the Chu family's history, and it could even be said to be a milestone.

At the gate of the compound, two tall lanterns stand, emitting a soft and warm light.

The red carpet extends from the entrance to the courtyard, with various flowers placed on both sides, the fragrance is refreshing and pleasant.

Chu Jingsong, the head of the Chu family, was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, appropriately dressed. He stood in the courtyard with a smile on his face, personally greeting every guest who came to congratulate him.

His face was filled with pride and joy, and he couldn't suppress the smile at all, as if at this moment, he was the most dazzling person in the entire imperial capital.

"Li Qingyun, the master of Qingyun Martial Arts Hall, presents a thousand-year-old cedar tree to wish the Chu family a happy new home and a long-lasting blessing!"

A loud voice came from the door, and a burly middle-aged man led people into the Chu family.

The attendant beside him opened the packed box, which contained cedar that gave off a faint chill.

The cedar tree had lush, green leaves and branches, and was obviously an extremely precious gift.

Then, another official from the Ministry of Rites came in. He was wearing an official uniform, and his attendant beside him was holding a gift box. He said loudly: "Minister of Rites Zhao Yuande, I present a pair of blood jade bracelets to you. I wish the Chu family a happy new home and a prosperous career!"

The blood jade bracelet was crystal clear, emitting a faint red light, and it was obviously priceless at first glance.

This guy just got off work and came here without even changing his clothes.

It is also possible that he just wanted to come here wearing an official robe.

Subsequently, two more heavyweights arrived.

One of them was Qian Wanguan, the president of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce. He presented a pair of gold bottles inlaid with gemstones, symbolizing abundant wealth and prosperity.

The other was a famous general from the imperial capital, who presented a majestic BMW, symbolizing the Chu family’s prosperity and bright future.

Chu Jingsong was very excited when he looked at these precious gifts. The more precious the gifts given by the guests were, the more they valued this banquet.

He personally went forward to greet each guest and thank them for coming.

And those guests who were invited also showed joy on their faces and shook hands with Chu Jingsong enthusiastically.

After entering the Chu family, they walked around the courtyard and greeted each other.

Some are people in the same circle that I already know, and some want to take this opportunity to expand their circle of friends.

In any case, this housewarming party was also very lively.

However, there are some people who were not actually invited by Chu Jingsong, but even so, they still chose to come uninvited.

Among these people, there are many neighbors living nearby. Those who can live here naturally have a certain status.

It’s not that Chu Jingsong didn’t want to invite them, it’s that Chu Jingsong didn’t know them and was too embarrassed to invite them.

But since the eldest daughter of the Chu family is the imperial concubine, these people wanted to take this opportunity to curry favor with the Chu family and sent gifts one after another, which made Chu Jingsong overjoyed.

Of course, there are also people like Wu Qi who are familiar but unknown and were not invited.

Chu Jingsong was also very welcoming and everyone who came was a guest.

Doesn't having uninvited guests prove that one's influence is great?
In addition, there are some people who don’t get along well with the Chu family.

For example, the one who is coming now is Qiu Kangning, the head of the Qiu family, a first-class family in the imperial capital.
