"Ah?"
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment before nodding his head." I know. You're referring to what happened in the palace yesterday, right?”
At this point, his voice suddenly paused.
Then, he lifted his leg and took off his shoes and socks in front of Meng Yi, revealing the soles of his feet." Don't worry, it wasn't me…Look, there's no wound on my feet."”
The soles of his feet were as smooth as jade. There were no scars, not even a trace of dirt.
In fact, Qin Mu had long guessed that the Yinyang School would use this method to investigate people, and he had also expected Meng Yi to come…Thus, he took advantage of the night to circulate the Dragon God Technique under his feet to heal his injuries.
The Dragon God Technique was not only invincible in attack, but its healing effect was also remarkable.
Don't forget, in the plot of the Water Moon Heavenly Abode, Yin Zhong cultivated this technique. No matter what kind of injury he suffered, he would recover in the blink of an eye.
Even though Qin Mu hadn't reached that realm, it wasn't a big problem for him to recover from his burns.
Phew...
When Meng Yi saw this, he subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled." Young Master Qin, you've misunderstood…I'm just here to see if you're used to living here.”
Even though he said that, Qin Mu wasn't a fool.
Since he already knew his identity, he would naturally think that he was the one who did it.
Especially since he rushed over early in the morning, his goal was obvious.
However, no one pointed it out.
Following that, Qin Mu raised his teacup and took a sip." Of course I'm used to it. Anyone would feel comfortable in such a luxurious mansion. I'll remember this favor.”
As soon as he said that, Meng Yi stood up and clasped his hands together." Young Master Qin is too polite. If you need anything in the future, just say the word.”
"Alright, no problem." Qin Mu nodded.
"Right!"
Suddenly, Meng Yi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Qin Mu in confusion." Young Master Qin, you said earlier that... you were going to open a shop, what shop?”
As he spoke, he was puzzled.
What exactly was Qin Mu up to?
Did he come all the way to Xianyang just to open a shop? He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Just as he was pondering, Qin Mu tilted his head and gave a mysterious smile." Of course, what is the most profitable? What do I do?!"”
"What is the most profitable?" Meng Yi asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Mu snapped his fingers and revealed a strange smile." Of course it's a brothel.”
Err…
When Meng Yi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. His heart was in a mess.
A brothel?
It was called a song and dance house, but it was called a brothel. In this war-torn era, it was considered an unpopular industry.
But why did Qin Mu open this?
Although he wanted to say a few words of advice, he stopped himself.
Then, he laughed bitterly." Alright, no problem. Young Master, you just need to choose a better location. When the time comes, you can open your business directly.”
"Alright, thank you."
Following that, Qin Mu and Meng Yi chatted happily in the courtyard. Time passed bit by bit, and they talked about the internal affairs of the court and the people, as well as their views on the situation of other countries and their analysis of Qin's laws.
During this process, Qin Mu analyzed and argued, making Meng Yi feel as if he had opened the door to a new world. He listened in a daze.
Moreover, he would record it down from time to time for future interpretation.
Violet Maiden was pouring tea and water by his side with a smile on her face. Especially after hearing Qin Mu's understanding, she smiled knowingly.
Ta…
Ta…
However, at this moment, deafening footsteps and the roars of warhorses came from outside the door.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a ten-year-old riding a warhorse and leading nine infantrymen to stop in front of the door. His entire body exuded a murderous intent.
"Everyone in the residence, please come out for a routine inspection.”At this moment, a burly and armored commander rode on a horse and shouted loudly while waving his whip.
Qin army!
They were invincible and were known as the tigers and wolves.
Thus, the Qin army was used to being arrogant. They didn't need to be polite when they received the mission to search the hundred households and faced the weak commoners.
For those who did not cooperate, they would be forced to do so.
Especially in the State of Qin, merchants had the lowest status!
In the eyes of the commander, only a merchant could live in such a luxurious mansion and not be registered in the official records. His purpose in doing so was to intimidate the people in the residence and make them cooperate. Secondly, he could extort some money.
After working hard all day, he could have a good time when he was not on duty at night.
Silence…
Silence…
However, no sound came out of the manor as soon as he finished speaking. It was as if no one was there.
Pa…
When the ten-year-old saw this, he swung the whip in his hand again and shouted," Men, smash the door for me. I want to see…if there's anyone inside."”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Immediately after, the nine Qin infantrymen pulled out their sabers and pointed them at the gate, intending to charge in.
Squeak squeak…
However, before he reached the door, the door was suddenly pulled open, and a mighty voice sounded." Who is it? Are you going to smash the door?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yi walked out at an unhurried pace. He was expressionless as he glanced at the commander in front of him and asked calmly," Were you the one who ordered us to smash the door just now?”
Plop...
The moment the senior officer caught sight of Meng Yi, he jumped off his horse; especially after hearing Meng Yi's words, he was so scared that he knelt down on one knee," Lord justice, I'm sorry... I didn't know that this was your mansion. Therefore, I gave the order. I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yi waved his hand and interrupted him." Now that you know, why aren't you leaving!"”
Although his voice was very soft, it was filled with the authority of an official, making people tremble in fear.
However, the commander revealed a troubled expression and raised his head to look at Qin Mu, Violet Maiden, and the rest behind Meng Yi. He smiled bitterly." Lord Meng Yi, please don't make things difficult for me... This search was ordered by Empress Dowager and Lu Xiangguo, and we were only following orders.”
"Humph!"
When Meng Yi heard this, he gently flung his robe." Are you planning to use the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister to pressure me?”
"This subordinate does not dare." The officer hurriedly lowered his head.
"You…"
Just as Meng Yi was about to berate him, Qin Mu came behind him and patted his shoulder." Forget it, don't make things difficult for them... Didn't they want to see the soles of their feet? Then let them check…It was better to avoid trouble.”
"Alright, we'll do as you say." At this moment, Meng Yi revealed a respectful expression as he clasped his hands together.
This scene was reflected in the eyes of the nine infantrymen led by the commander. They were all shocked, and their pupils constricted as waves of emotions surged in their hearts.
Who was this young man in front of him?
How could he be treated respectfully by the president of the supreme court? This was simply unbelievable.
It was well known that Meng Yi, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, was in charge of the justice in Xianyang City. All the officials who were convicted would go through his hands, especially the members of the Meng family who had a deep background and held great power in the army.
Who dared to offend him?
However, someone with such a strong background was respectful to an unknown young man. How could he not be shocked?
