Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

...

There was still more than half an hour before the end of get off work, but Lord Song was in a good mood today, so he planned to leave work early.

I walked out of the room and came to the gate of the yamen. I heard bursts of hurried sounds coming from outside the door, as if someone was moving something.

Song Xuan walked over and looked at it curiously.

But on the street, more than ten carriages were parked on the side of the road, and a team of strong men dressed as servants were busy carrying large boxes, preparing to move them to the Imperial City Office.

"what's the situation?"

Song Xuan casually grabbed a civil servant from the Imperial City Department and asked in a low voice.

The clerk glared at him angrily at first, but after seeing Song Xuan's appearance clearly, his expression changed drastically and he said with a flattering smile, "Your humble servant greets the Inspector!"

Song Xuan frowned and said, "Tell me, what's going on? I don't want to repeat it for the third time!"

The man hurriedly said, "Sir, this is a gift!"

"Gift?"

Song Xuan was slightly stunned. He knew that few officials were clean, but to bribe in public like this was too unscrupulous, wasn't it?

"Yes, sir!" the clerk whispered, "It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's normal to exchange favors..."

The man carefully observed Song Xuan's expression and said cautiously: "If you don't like it, I will drive them away right away!"

Song Xuan waved his hand and asked, "Are these gifts for someone in the Imperial City Department, or for our entire government office?"

"Of course it belongs to the entire government office!"

The civil official smiled and said, "Over the years, I have recorded all the gifts I received and will distribute them to everyone as a benefit for our government."

Song Xuan said, "Does this official also have a share?"

"You are joking, my Lord. You will have a share, and a large one at that!"

Song Xuan said, "Okay, it's okay, you can go back to your work!"

"Oh, right!" Song Xuan suddenly spoke again, "Whose family is this? This gift is quite expensive!"

He just scanned with his spiritual sense and saw that those big boxes were filled with all kinds of rare materials, for alchemy and weapon refining, as well as many magic weapons, pills, and spirit stones. In short, Song Xuan roughly estimated that if converted into spirit stones, there would be no less than 200,000 top-grade spirit stones.

This amount is definitely not small.

It is enough for a powerful person in the fusion stage to buy an extremely good ancient treasure.

It was just a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, but such a valuable gift was given. Song Xuan thought that since he was going to make trouble anyway, he might as well start with this family.

"This is a gift from the Changchun Marquis' Mansion."

The civil official explained, "It doesn't need to be so expensive, but the Changchun Marquis' Mansion has been in trouble recently, so this Mid-Autumn Festival, they sent a valuable gift and asked our Imperial City Department for help."

The man lowered his voice and said, "The Marquis of Changchun was impeached by several important officials in the court and is now in the Ministry of Justice.

Not only the Marquis of Changchun, but also several of his sons were imprisoned. This time, I'm afraid there's no way they can escape."

He pointed to a carriage in the distance and whispered, "Recently, the daughter of the Marquis's family has been selling off her property, giving gifts and using her connections to find people. She's a bit desperate and trying every possible means."

Song Xuan pondered and said, "Do you know what crime this Changchun Hou was imprisoned for?"

The man smiled upon hearing this, his smile somewhat ambiguous, "Sir, in this imperial capital, who hasn't committed some crime? If you want to be imprisoned, there are many charges for corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty, bullying, and the servants in the mansion taking human lives...

As far as I know, the Marquis of Changchun was imprisoned because he impeached officials from several prefectures under him for concealing the spirit stone mines and embezzling the assets of the court.

This stirred up a hornet's nest. Soon, impeachments against the Marquis of Changchun were flying everywhere. All kinds of crimes came out, even the impeachment that he was morally corrupt because he had peeped at widows bathing when he was a child.

Then, he was imprisoned, awaiting a joint trial by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. I estimate that this man is probably dead."

He sighed and said pitifully, "That Miss Sun has been trying to find connections and give gifts everywhere, but she's been turned away everywhere. At this time, no one dares to see her, let alone accept her gifts!"

Song Xuan glanced at him and asked, "Then how dare you accept her gift?"

The man carefully glanced at Song Xuan's face, but seeing that Lord Song did not show any disgust, he smiled and said, "Sir, we in the Imperial City Division don't have so many scruples. If she dares to give it to me, I dare to accept it.

We accepted the gift from Miss Sun, and she must be grateful to us.

At least, if we accept her gift, his father, brother, and others will be spared from much physical suffering when they are subsequently imprisoned in our Imperial City Prison, and their lives will be easier."

Song Xuan pondered for a moment. He was about to leave work, but he walked towards the yamen again and gave an instruction to the civil official as he walked.

"Go and bring the young lady from the Changchun Marquis family to my office!"

The case files sent by his direct superior, Taoist Shouyin, were too difficult and sensitive to be handled in a short time. Since he wanted to do something in the imperial capital, he would start with the case of Marquis Changchun.

Chapter 770: Is the atmosphere in the imperial capital so unrestrained?

At the Imperial City Office, outside the Changchun Marquis Mansion motorcade, next to a large carriage, a maid in an emerald green dress looked at Song Xuan's position with some curiosity.

"Ms. Miss!"

She excitedly whispered into the carriage, "I just saw an extremely handsome man walk out of the Imperial City Office. That official who accepted our gift and acted so arrogantly was fawning over him!"

"Really?"

A pleasant sound came from the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, and a slim figure walked down from the carriage.

The legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Changchun was wearing a simple waisted skirt. The striped double-breasted design on the dress looked particularly exquisite. She wore a light purple belt around her waist, which made her figure more slender and graceful.

Her hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently tied up with blue silk with floral patterns. A silver hairpin was inserted in her hair, shining with a faint light.

She looks like a gentle and lovely girl next door.

As soon as she stepped out of the carriage, she anxiously followed the maid's gaze, but unfortunately, all she saw was a tall and straight figure walking into the yamen gate.

She mustered up her courage and wanted to shout out, but in the end she didn't dare to.

The Imperial City Bureau was a den of wolves and tigers. Even when her father was in power, he did not dare to provoke anyone from the Imperial City Bureau. In her eyes, the clerk who was willing to accept the gift from their mansion was already a high-ranking figure.

The person who could make such a big shot bow and scrape must be a top figure in the Imperial City Bureau. She didn't even have the courage to shout at such a person.

Just as she was struggling with her feelings, she saw the clerk turn his head to look at her, then walked towards her quickly.

Her heart tightened, and she felt something was wrong. Could it be that her gift-giving had caused dissatisfaction from that mysterious adult?

She has been running around the imperial capital for a few days. The bigwigs who used to be on close terms with her father now don't even want to see her. Today, she finally found someone who is willing to accept a gift from her family. If she is rejected again, she will really collapse.

"Miss Sun!"

Just when she was feeling extremely nervous, the clerk who had been quite humble in front of Song Xuan just now walked up to Miss Sun with a cold and majestic look on his face.

"grown ups!"

Miss Sun saluted quickly and looked at him eagerly, "Sir, do you have any other instructions?"

"Inspector Song saw you giving gifts!"

Miss Sun was startled and looked at him pleadingly, a hint of bitterness on her face, "So, sir, you want to..."

"Don't worry!"

A smile appeared on the secretary's face. "I won't accept your gift for nothing, so when Lord Song asked about this matter just now, I told him what happened in your Changchun Marquis Mansion recently.

Lord Song is very concerned about this, so he asked me to take you to question him!"

"Questioning?"

"Right!" The clerk waved his hand, signaling, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and follow!"

"Let me tell you, within the entire Imperial City Administration, Lord Song holds the most power, his rank second only to the two deputy commanders. If you want to overturn the verdict in your mansion's case, I'm afraid he's the only one in the entire Imperial City who can accomplish this!"

The clerk carefully looked at the daughter of the marquis and nodded secretly.

She is so beautiful and elegant, I feel pity for her!

Perhaps, this is the type that Lord Song likes.

Leading Miss Sun through the yamen, the clerk reminded her from time to time: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. When you meet Lord Song, remember not to go against his wishes.

Whatever the adults tell you to do, you should do it obediently!

Remember, the life or death of your Changchun Marquisate depends on your performance this time!"

At this moment, the clerk was as eager as a pimp for his boss. There was no other way, he really wanted to make progress.

He is in charge of logistics and serves the adults. If he can serve the inspector well this time, his position as deputy captain may be promoted.

Miss Sun was in a state of panic. As the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, how could she not hear the implicit hints in the secretary's words?

But she just lowered her head and said nothing, her heart was almost torn to death.

If the family hadn't been in trouble, who would have dared to say such words to her? She almost said, "Be obedient and sleep with me."

But now, although she felt humiliated, she could only suppress her grievances in her heart and pretend to be obedient on the surface.

It’s not that she is generous or open-minded, it’s just that she has no other choice!

The family has reached a desperate situation, and the only thing she can rely on now is her figure and appearance, which she is proud of.

There is no shortage of women among the powerful people in the imperial capital, but her beauty, cultivation, and her birth as the legitimate daughter of a marquis are still very attractive to many people.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door of the Inspector General's office.

From inside the door came a deep but very comfortable voice, "Come in!"

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the clerk winked at Miss Sun, the meaning of which was self-evident: If you want your Sun family to survive, take the initiative!

Miss Sun walked into the room nervously, and immediately saw Mr. Song sitting at the desk, seemingly writing something.

With a creak, the door was closed.

"Sit first!"

Song Xuan didn't look up, but waved his hand, and a chair appeared behind Miss Sun, making her sit down instinctively.

After half an incense stick of time, Song Xuan put away the letter in his hand and put it aside. He raised his head and looked at the other party, and happened to meet the eyes of Miss Sun, who looked nervous.

At this moment, Miss Sun was stunned.

All the grievances, frustrations, discomforts and pains in my heart disappeared at this moment, and only one thought remained in my mind.

If so, if it is this adult, then sleeping with him is also possible!

Somehow, she even felt a little shy and happy in her heart!

Song Xuan looked at her, his expression calm and unchanged.

He has seen many beauties. With his level of cultivation and status, beauties are not a scarce resource in his eyes. It is difficult for ordinary people to attract his attention.

"let's start!"

After a quick look, Song Xuan spoke calmly.

"Open, start?"

Miss Sun asked back nervously, her voice stuttering a little.

"Ok?"

Song Xuan frowned slightly, "Why, didn't the person who brought you here tell you what to do?"

"Sir, tell me, tell me."

Miss Sun stood up tremblingly, took a look at her surroundings, and subconsciously licked her lips, "Sir, shall we start here?"

Song Xuan hummed, "Hurry up, I'm pressed for time and don't want to waste it!"

If we don't hurry up, we'll be off work. It's not necessary, and Mr. Song doesn't want to work overtime. If he works any longer, he'll feel like he's lost 100 million!

Miss Sun blushed. Mr. Song was so anxious, but what could she do?

The master is so anxious, and as a weak woman, she can only satisfy him!

She gritted her teeth and suddenly pulled the ribbon on her chest. With a rustle, the slim skirt fell off, and a pink bellyband clearly caught Song Xuan's eyes.

Lord Song opened his mouth slightly. Although he was always knowledgeable, he was stunned for a moment.

Are people in the imperial capital so unrestrained that they start taking off clothes as soon as they disagree with something?

Chapter 771 Some people, even if they sit on the throne, are just cowards!

"I asked you to speak, who told you to take off your armor?"
