In the Zhou Residence.
Zhou Xing sat on the main seat in the living room and touched the bandage on his abdomen. He said in a deep voice,""Hmph, it's a good thing that I'm lucky and will soon recover from my injuries. I'll be able to take over the Supreme Court again soon. Li Zhi, oh Li Zhi, I think your fate is over. Soon, there will be a change of dynasty. Sooner or later, you will fall into my hands.”
A person who looked like a butler stood next to Zhou Xing and said with a flattering smile,"With Empress Wu's support, Lord Zhou will not only be able to take charge of the Supreme Court once again, but he might even be promoted. I heard that Empress Wu is extremely powerful now, and all the people surnamed Wu have ascended to the heavens. She has control over many of the Tang Empire's lifelines. Empress Wu will ascend the throne and change the dynasty, becoming the only Empress in history.”
Zhou Xing did not blame the steward for his outrageous words. Instead, he laughed." Qian Bing, I didn't expect a servant like you to be able to see through the current situation of the Great Tang. Empress Wu has already seized all the secrets of the heavens. It's not impossible for her to ascend the throne and become the only empress in history.”
"With Daren's position beside Empress Wu, he might be able to be conferred the position of Prime Minister. At the very least, he would be a high-ranking official like the Minister of Justice.”Housekeeper Qian had a servile look on his face as he kept kneeling and licking Zhou Xing's boots.
Zhou Xing enjoyed being licked." Do your job well. When the time comes, it's not like you won't have a chance to be promoted to assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice!"”
After Qian Bing received Zhou Xing's promise, his excitement was beyond words. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked Zhou Xing." Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will definitely do my best. Your nurturing will not be in vain!"”
The two of them acted as if Wu Zetian had already seized the world and was about to divide the spoils. It was as if they had completely forgotten that it was still Li Tang's world.
At this moment.
A clamor came from outside the door.
A servant ran in, rolling and crawling." Report…" Reporting to Great Lord!"
"Trash, what are you panicking for? This is the residence of the Minister of Judicial Review, who dares to come here and cause trouble! What urgent matter could make you so flustered, useless thing!”Zhou Xing ruthlessly scolded this servant, completely looking down on him like a superior.
"No, sir, an officer barged in!”The servant took a deep breath and quickly explained.
"Oh? Who dared to be impudent again! I'm a third-grade official of the current dynasty. Who dares to trespass into my residence!”Zhou Xing raised his eyebrows and was filled with anger.
"Let's go, I'll go out and take a look!" Zhou Xing stood up and strode out of the hall.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian had already brought fifty Brocade Guards to the front of the hall.
She happened to see Zhou Xing walking out from inside.
Their eyes met!
"Eunuch Wei, why have you come to my mansion?" Zhou Xing frowned and asked in a clear voice. But did someone in my residence commit a crime? You have to look at the owner before you hit the dog. Did you ask me before you took someone from my residence?”
Zhou Xing didn't think about himself at all.
Wei Zhongxian snorted and said with a fake smile,"Lord Zhou, my current identity is not a eunuch, but the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. I only listen to the Emperor's orders. You killed a minister for no reason, your crime cannot be punished! I've been ordered by the Emperor to capture you!”
Zhou Xing's expression changed, but his imposing manner did not subside." Embroidered Uniform Guards? I have never heard of such a yamen. Even if the emperor wants to arrest me, he should go through the Ministry of Justice. You have no right to arrest me!”
"This official has the emperor's gold medallion. Seeing this medallion is like seeing the emperor!”Wei Zhongxian immediately flashed a gold medal made of pure gold. Under the sun, it flickered with a dazzling golden light and was very eye-catching.
Although Zhou Xing had never heard of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he recognized the Emperor's gold medal. Zhou Xing immediately knelt on both knees and shouted long live.
The other butlers and servants also fell to their knees. None of them dared to breathe loudly.
"You have nothing to say, right? Zhou Xing, take him away!”Wei Zhongxian sneered and ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him.
"Yes!"
Two Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately stepped forward and quickly lifted Zhou Xing up.
The surrounding servants no longer dared to stop him.
Only then did Zhou Xing panic. He knew that Li Zhi was really going to deal with him.
He turned his head to look at Qian Bing and quickly mouthed a few words.
He wanted Qian Bing to find Wu Zetian and let Wu Zetian save him.
Qian Bing and Zhou Xing had been partners for many years, so he naturally knew what Zhou Xing meant.
After Zhou Xing was dragged away by Wei Zhongxian and the others, Qian Bing quickly went to find the officials of the Ministry of Justice, hoping that they could inform Wu Zetian and rescue Zhou Xing.
After all, he was just a small official. How could he enter the palace and see Wu Zetian?
(Ahem, some of the empresses are too vicious. They will still be killed if they need to. Don't worry, everyone!)）
