As he spoke, a green jade bottle appeared in his right hand. Zheng Lei poured out a snow-white pill from the jade bottle and walked over to the injured old man.
He squatted down and handed it to the old man on the ground." Elder, this is a healing pill. Take it!"”
The old man seemed to have never seen such a high-ranking official like Zheng Lei being so polite to him. He hurriedly declined,"No…no, there's no need. It's just a small injury. I'll be fine after resting for a period of time.”
"Take it!" Zheng Lei insisted. After taking it, your injuries will recover.”
Seeing Zheng Lei's insistence, the old man could only accept the pill.
Just as he caught the pill and put it in his mouth, the old man felt that the pill seemed to have melted into a cold airflow that flowed down his throat and circulated throughout his body.
After a while, the old man felt that the pain in his knee that he had suffered from the fall was completely gone.
The old man rolled up his pants and found that the skin that had been scratched by the fall had miraculously healed.
The old man stood up quickly and paced back and forth. He said with an incredulous expression,"That's good! This is really amazing."
The surrounding commoners saw all of this. Some of them were surprised by the changes that had happened to the old man.
Those who knew the truth said,"What's so strange about that?" It was rumored that the Imperial Advisor was not only a great sage and an immortal, but his alchemy skills were also unparalleled in the world. The immortal pills he refined had saved the former emperor several times.”
The black fox demoness looked at Zheng Lei and the medicinal pill that he had given to the ordinary old man."Grade 8 spirit pill!"
One had to know that in the demon race, not to mention immortal pills, even ordinary spiritual pills were something that could only be encountered by small demons.
The highest-grade pill she had obtained was a fourth-grade spirit pill that could help her cultivate.
She had almost lost her life when she was surrounded by more than ten other demons.
The current Zheng Lei actually gave a Grade 8 Spirit Pill to an ordinary old man, as if a Grade 8 Spirit Pill was not even worth mentioning in his eyes.
The black fox demon did not know that a grade-eight spirit pill was nothing in the eyes of Zheng Lei, who could refine grade-three immortal pills. He could have as many as he wanted.
"Greetings, Grand Tutor!"
Zheng Lei taught the fatuous King Zhou a lesson on the street, but he took care of an ordinary old man and conquered the commoners on both sides of the street.
The commoners were filled with respect and admiration for Zheng Lei.
Someone took the lead to kneel down and kowtow to Zheng Lei.
Gradually, the people on the streets were infected.
With a whoosh, everyone knelt down in front of Zheng Lei. After a while, not a single person was left standing on the street. They were all commoners who were kneeling on the ground and worshipping Zheng Lei.
Even Bi Gan, a loyal minister who had been passed down for thousands of years, Jizi, Wei Zi, and other relatives of the royal family, knelt down before Zheng Lei.
Like the surrounding people, they were sincerely grateful to Zheng Lei for teaching King Zhou a lesson and disciplining him. If they allowed King Zhou to continue his nonsense, the country would be finished.
Seeing Prime Minister Bi Gan, Imperial Uncle Wei Zi and Jizi kneeling down, and King Zhou being beaten black and blue by Zheng Lei, Fei Zhong and You Hun, the two treacherous officials, held their breath and knelt in the crowd like two mice, afraid that they would attract Zheng Lei's attention and kill them directly.
"The monarch should make decisions for the people. In the future, the emperor will be fortunate to have me to supervise him.”
Zheng Lei looked at the commoners kneeling on the street and turned to leave.
Only the tens of thousands of citizens who were filled with respect for Zheng Lei were left.
……
In the evening, Zheng Lei's residence was brightly lit.
Imperial Uncle Bigan, Jizi, and Weizi were preparing to visit Zheng Lei at Junxian Manor.
Jun Xian Manor was still the same Jun Xian Manor as before. In the ten years that Zheng Lei had left, there had not been any changes. It was just that the people who served Zheng Lei had aged a lot.
Butler Qingyao had transformed from a young girl into a mature woman.
As for the servant girls and slaves, they had also turned from young and strong to old and strong.
Because Zheng Lei was the current Imperial Advisor and Grand Tutor, although he had not returned for more than ten years, no one dared to come to his residence to seize the slaves and maids. Therefore, these slaves and maids could live quietly in Jun Xian's residence for more than ten years.
"Young Master, it has been more than ten years. You haven't changed at all, but I'm already old.”
Qingyao helped Zheng Lei brew a tea called " tea ". However, she had never heard of a drink that looked like ordinary leaves but had an exceptionally fragrant taste.
Qingyao stood behind Zheng Lei and watched him drink his tea quietly.
Over the past ten years, she had turned from a beautiful young woman into a middle-aged woman who was nearly forty years old.
"Don't worry, with me around, even if I don't let you live for ten thousand years, it's still very easy to let you live for a thousand years.”
Zheng Lei laughed.
He could casually concoct an immortal pill that could make mortals immortal and ensure that Qingyao could live for a thousand years.
Seeing Qingyao's dumbfounded expression, the corners of Zheng Lei's mouth curled up and he smiled smugly.
Soon, Prime Minister Bi Gan, Imperial Uncle Jizi, and Wei Zi arrived.
Over the past ten years, not only had Qingyao and the others aged, but the three imperial uncles had also aged. When Zheng Lei had left more than ten years ago, they were still middle-aged. Now, their beards had turned white. They looked to be in their fifties and did not have many years left to live.
"Bigan!"
"Jizi!"
"Wei Zi!"
"On behalf of the world, on behalf of the entire Great Shang, thank you Imperial Preceptor. If it wasn't for Imperial Preceptor disciplining the Great King on the streets today and waking the Great King up, if the Great King continued to be so muddle-headed, the entire world and Great Shang would be finished.”
The three Imperial Uncles knelt in front of Zheng Lei and said sincerely.
"Three imperial uncles, please rise. Di Xing was originally my disciple, but he became like this today. I also have a responsibility. However, before I left, Di Xing was clearly a benevolent ruler who was diligent in government affairs and loved the people. Why did he become like this the moment I returned?”Zheng Lei frowned and asked in puzzlement.
He felt that there was something fishy about this matter. He had once used his immortal magic power to divine, but he could not calculate anything.
"That is indeed the case. Imperial Preceptor, after you left, the king has been diligent in governing the country and cherishing the people. He is a benevolent ruler like his father, Di Yi.”Prime Minister Bi Gan said.
"However, during a Christmas ceremony for the Sage, the king suddenly changed his personality. He actually wrote a romantic poem on the jade pillar of the Sage Temple in Great Shang's ancestral temple, taking liberties with the Sage.”Uncle Jizi told him what had happened.
"After that, the king's personality became tyrannical and licentious. First, he doted on the two treacherous officials, Fei Zhong and You Hun. Finally, after the rebel general, the Marquis of Jizhou, offered his daughter, Su Daji, to the king, the king spent all day in the palace, having fun with that demoness Su Daji.”
" In the beginning, Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong suppressed and disciplined the king. But after the king listened to the evil words of the witch Daji, he waged a large-scale war against the Dongyi and the Human Tribe. Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong was sent to supervise the war. No one in Zhaoge could control the king anymore. That's why the king was so unrestrained.”Prime Minister Bi Gan nodded.
"Su Daji?" Zheng Lei was a little suspicious.
