The imperial capital was divided into four Urban area, north, south, east, and west. The center of the city was the imperial palace.
The Education Department was located in the Dongcheng Area, on Goulan Street.
Cao Zheng's house was not far from Goulan Street, only two streets away. It was called Rouge Street.
On the streets, there were many shops selling rouge, cosmetics, cloth, and jewelry.
Of course, there was also Cao Zheng's perfume shop.
After leaving the Education Department, Cao Zheng bought some food from a roadside stall. After a hard night, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
After walking for a while, he realized that something was wrong. It seemed that someone was following him?
Could it be that after Wang Xuan's matter spread, someone suspected him?
He had always been kind to others and could not think of anything else other than this.
Even in the perfume business, no one provoked him.
He had no choice. He knew the profits of the perfume business. Before the business started, he had already found a backer.
The head of the six departments, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Fang En, official residence is three grades.
Rites, righteousness, honesty and shame are the four aspects of a country.
Education is the foundation of a country.
In Dajing, the Ministry of Rites was not only in charge of diplomatic relations, ceremonies, sacrifices, and other matters.
More importantly, it was also responsible for education and imperial examinations.
The Ministry of Rites had the final say on whether he could be an official or not.
The Department of Education was the money bag of the Ministry of Rites. Cao Zheng knew how to make money, and no one would care about the small official position.
All these factors combined to form his business of buying an official position.
Cao Zheng pretended not to know and walked towards the less crowded area without leaving a trace.
He wanted to see who was behind this.
"Stop!"
In an empty alley.
As soon as Cao Zheng stepped in, he was blocked by a rich young master.
Behind him, there were a few guards blocking his escape route.
He was surrounded!
？？？
What happened to tailing?
Was there something wrong with his brain?
"How dare you! How dare you attack an official of the Imperial Court!"
At this moment, Cao Zheng began to act.
He raised his head and puffed out his chest, raising his eyebrows. He was not angry, but he was imposing.
However, his legs trembled slightly, and a flash of intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He was obviously very afraid, but he wanted to use words to force the other party to retreat.
The rich young master laughed disdainfully." Heh, you're just a mere Rank-9. You're an official of the imperial court? Are you trying to make me laugh and escape?"”
When Cao Zheng heard that, his expression immediately changed. With a fawning smile, he rubbed his hands and said fawningly,"That... May I know why Young Master has stopped me?”
After saying that, he immediately put on a forthright look and patted his chest."This lowly official loves making friends the most. If Young Master has any orders, as long as this lowly official can do it, I guarantee that it will be done properly.”
The rich young master pursed his lips.”
"Let me ask you, were you playing the flute and zither in the Education Bureau the day before yesterday?”
Cao Zheng was stunned.
Things... It seemed to be different from what he had expected.
Originally, he wanted to create an image of a timid upstart who had money to clear the way for everything so that the other party would let down his guard.
In the end, the show was only halfway through and the bribery had yet to begin.
Cao Zheng was a little confused, but he still nodded and admitted,"Yes, I am. I don't know Young Master."
He did not hide this matter. Too many people knew about it, and it was useless to deny it.
"It's good that it's you!"
The rich young master gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Zheng. His gaze was as if Cao Zheng had entered the bridal chamber for him.
"Do you know that because of you, you ruined my plans?”
After saying that, he gave a look to the few guards behind Cao Zheng and ordered,"Beat him up, beat him up fiercely. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!”
The rich young master was none other than Xie Buwei.
After asking around, he found out that the person playing the zither and flute was Cao Zheng, so he led his men to guard outside Goulan Street.
The goal was simple. He wanted to teach Cao Zheng a lesson.
Seeing how arrogant Xie Buwei was, Cao Zheng couldn't figure out where he came from.
If Xie Buwei was alone, Cao Zheng would definitely give him a Bone Melting Palm without hesitation.
However, he had just entered martial arts, and the internal strength in his body could only be used twice at most.
There were a total of six people on the scene, and he couldn't kill them.
Looking at the surrounding crowd, Cao Zheng immediately stopped pretending!
These servants and guards were all ordinary people, so they couldn't hurt him.
He raised the thin internal strength in his body and punched them one by one, taking them all down.
He did not use the Melting Bone Palm.
It was just pure strength.
"You... you... You…"
Xie Buwei's jaw dropped as he looked at the guards who had been knocked out in a few moves.
"You know martial arts?"
"Martial arts?"
Cao Zheng smiled faintly.
"Is it rare for me to know martial arts?"
"What do you say now?"
"A mere cloth body dares to attack a Great Jing official.”
Although he didn't know who this person was, as long as he didn't kill him, Cao Zheng wasn't afraid since the Ministry of Rites would take care of him.
"He's just a Rank-9.”
"My father is a Rank-6."
"If you dare to touch me, I'll make you suffer.”
Xie Buwei was only surprised for a moment before he became arrogant again.
He pointed at Cao Zheng in disdain.
"Rank-6?"
Cao Zheng smiled and slapped him.
"So what if it's Rank-6? What's wrong with touching you? I want to see what you can do to me!”
Cao Zhengmei slapped him.
A few breaths later.
Xie Buwei's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Seeing that he was almost done teaching him a lesson, Cao Zheng's palm slid across his chest without leaving a trace.
Bone Melting Soft Palm!
Cao Zheng didn't use his full strength. He only sent in a weak palm force.
His goal was not to kill, but to teach the other party a lesson.
Combining his understanding and control of cultivation techniques with the inheritance of the Plain Question Scripture.
He estimated that this attack would at most cause the other party to suffer some minor injuries, but it would not be fatal.
"I'll let you off today. If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being rude!”
Cao Zheng left.
Xie Buwei was furious.
"Trash!"
"All of you are trash!"
"The other party only knows a little martial arts. You can't even defeat so many of you!”
Xie Buwei punched and kicked the guards to vent his dissatisfaction.
The guards did not dare to fight back and could only beg for mercy."Young Master, please forgive us. We were just careless for a moment and fell into his trap.”
"If we knew that he knew martial arts, we definitely wouldn't have been careless.”
"Right, right, right. Looking at his aura, he's just a mediocre person. As long as we're prepared, it won't be a problem to deal with him.”
"Humph!"
Xie Buwei also knew that the guards were right, so he let them go.
Then, he looked in the direction Cao Zheng left and scolded,"Next time, next time, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!”
Touching his swollen face, Xie Buwei waved his hand and walked home with his guards.
It was too painful!
He had to go back and apply his medicine.
If he let his mother see his miserable state, she might be able to hire a martial arts expert to protect him.
At that time.
hehe
However, just as he was halfway there, intense pain came from his abdomen.
Puff--
Xie Buwei spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
When the surrounding subordinates saw this, they were scared out of their wits.
They were Xie Buwei's guards. If anything happened to him, they would be finished.
"Quick, carry Young Master home."
"You, hurry back and call the doctor."
The guards took the lead and quickly made arrangements.
Xie Manor.
Inspector of the Inspection Division, the mansion of a sixth-rank official, Xie Changfeng.
At this moment.
The atmosphere in the Xie Manor was oppressive. The servants didn't even dare to speak loudly.
That was because the Young Master of the Xie family was unconscious and had returned with serious injuries.
"Doctor, how is my son? It's okay."
In the luxurious room, Xie Buwei's face was pale as he lay motionless on the bed.
Beside the bed, an old man in embroidered clothes stroked his goatee with one hand and placed the other on Xie Buwei's pulse.
Behind him, a beautiful woman dressed as a noble lady looked at Xie Buwei with worry in her eyes.
Looking at Xie Buwei's expression, tears fell uncontrollably.
Even the silk handkerchief used to wipe her tears had been changed three times.
The elder in embroidered clothes did not reply.
After a while, he nodded slightly.
Then, he opened the medicine box and took out a set of silver needles.
He split his attention to do two things. As he applied the needles, he replied,
"Young Master's coma was caused by internal injuries and bleeding.”
"It looks like he was injured by a palm strike from an internal practitioner, but there is no trace of internal strength left, and his skin is fine.”
"The situation is strange. To do this, the opponent must be very powerful. He must be at least a Xiantian expert.”
The beautiful woman wiped her tears." Wei 'er has always been obedient and never caused trouble. Where did he provoke such an expert?" Who would harm him?"
She had heard about Xie Buwei's situation from the guards.
The doctor was also clear.
They did not suspect Cao Zheng.
A mere unranked person did not have such ability at all.
Everything.
It could only be said to be a coincidence.
"I don't know!"
The beautiful woman also knew that she had been too rash. How could the other party know about such a question?
Hence, she changed the topic and asked the question that she was most concerned about.
"Doctor, can Wei 'er's injury be treated?”
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
The old man in embroidered clothes shook his head repeatedly.”
"This old man's medical skills are shallow, so I can only use acupuncture to seal Young Master's acupuncture points so that his injuries won't worsen.”
"However, this method has to treat the symptoms and root causes. It won't last for too long.”
" If there is a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine, it might be able to make him better. However, to completely cure him, unless..."
The elder's words were like a bucket of cold water pouring down from the top of her head in the middle of winter, causing the beautiful woman's heart to turn cold.
However, at the end, she became hopeful again."Unless what?"
The old man in embroidered clothes replied,"The Medicine God of the South and the Fairy Doctor of the North. Only these two people in the Great Jing can treat this injury."
It was said that the direct disciple of the Fairy Doctor had gone out to travel and had appeared in the surrounding area not long ago.
If they could find him, there might be a way. If they could contact the Fairy Doctor, that would be even better!”
"Do you know where to find the direct disciple of the Fairy Doctor?" the beautiful woman asked.”
"Hey!"
The elder sighed.
"This old man doesn't know. The Fairy Doctor's lineage is benevolent and has the duty of saving the dying and healing the wounded.
If he wanted to find them, other than them taking the initiative to come to him, he could only cast a wide net!
If they saw it, they might take the initiative to find it!”
The beautiful woman asked about many details, and the old man answered every question.
When her doubts were cleared, the beautiful woman forced a smile."Thank you for your advice, doctor. I know what to do!”
After paying the consultation fee, the beautiful woman began to move.
Thank you, everyone!）
