More than just pampering,
It's just pampering.
Zhao Zheng, who had been standing here for a while, looked at Mao Xiaofang who looked a little dazed, thought for a moment and spoke.

"Uncle Master, a loving mother often spoils her child."

"I...ah...you guys eat first, no need to wait for me."

Mao Xiaofang sighed and walked towards the study in the backyard, but before leaving, he asked about Zhao Zheng's injury.

After confirming everything is fine,
Mao Xiaofang then walked towards the study.

Watching Mao Xiaofang leave, Ah Hai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He turned and looked at Zhao Zheng with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, Ah Zheng. Ah Chu is just like that. Don't be angry with him."

"I'll go call Uncle Lei for dinner."

Giving Ah Hai a look that said it was alright, Zhao Zheng smiled and walked towards the guest room in the backyard. He said to Lei Gang who was practicing and Lei Xiu who was teasing Xiao Bai, "Uncle Lei, it's time to eat."

"Uh, huh? Your hand."

Lei Gang raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Zheng's left hand in surprise. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that Zhao Zheng's broken left hand had actually recovered.

"A form of using the flying head technique."

"???"

"Hmm? Uncle Lei, you don't know how to do it?"

"..."

do not talk,
Shut up you.

Lei Gang's mouth twitched, and he changed the subject and looked at Zhao Zheng, whose breath was much calmer than before: "What's your injury?"

"Okay seven or eight...oh, now it's eight or nine."

Zhao Zheng took his pulse and changed the topic. Lei Gang's eyelids twitched. He looked at Zhao Zheng for a moment and said expressionlessly, "Let's eat."

have got to go,
He's not in the mood anymore.

Looking at Zhao Zheng who was following him, Lei Gang frowned at the speed of Zhao Zheng's recovery.

Isn't this injury recovering too quickly? !
After a while, breakfast was over. Although there were two people missing from today's breakfast, the atmosphere was not too bad.

Especially Lei Gang, who drank two large bowls of porridge in one breath. Anyone who is not a fool can basically see that Lei Gang is happy.

Uh, that’s not right. That’s not the way it should be said. Maybe someone hasn’t noticed this. Zhao Zheng looked expressionlessly at Ah Hai, who was being very attentive to Lei Xiu and no longer worried as before.

Tsk, what a pitiful dog.

After finishing his meal, Zhao Zheng said goodbye and left Fuxi Hall. After all, he said that this was just an opening. For people like Ah Chu,
You have to make the other person fear you from the bottom of their heart.

This is similar to training a dog. If you encounter a dog with a bad temper, you must first beat it up so that it will remember you.
but,

Rather than hurting their flesh,
It is better to attack his heart.

Zhao Zheng came to the street and responded to the people who greeted him enthusiastically with a smile. He stopped a rickshaw, got on the rickshaw, and said to the driver, "Go to Guangming Daily."

"Yes, Master Zheng."

The driver smiled and said...

……

Guangming Daily.

"Hey, are you annoying me? Why are you walking around here with your broken thing so early in the morning? If you don't have to go to work, does that mean others don't have to be busy?"

Lin Zhijian, who was proofreading newspaper contents at the desk, looked at Achu with disgust as he walked around the office with a compass.

"I'm helping Shu Ning find a place to stay in Wenchang. She just invited me to breakfast, so I can't not show some appreciation."

Achu looked at Shu Ning with a serious face. Shu Ning smiled helplessly and shook his head silently. Lin Zhijian chuckled when he heard it.

"Please? You're so nice to say that!"

Shu Ning was just being polite, but Ah Chu actually agreed. Now he even said it was an invitation. He had seen people with thick skin.
But I have never seen anyone so thick-skinned!
"Okay, Zhijian, didn't you say you were going to interview Aunt Lin today?"

Shu Ning looked at Lin Zhijian, who pouted and glanced at Ah Chu: "Yes, I'll go then. I've already proofread the newspaper, you can take it to print."

"it is good."

Shu Ning took the newspaper from Lin Zhijian and watched him walk out of the newspaper office. She turned to look at Ah Chu who was holding the compass and said, "Ah Chu, how is Master Zheng's injury?"

When Ah Chu heard Shu Ning mention Zhao Zheng, he felt a burning pain on his face. His aching back teeth started to hurt violently, making him look unhappy.

"He was full of life. Speaking of which, it's true that good people don't live long, and evil will...ere...ere..."

Ah Chu's sudden stuttering made Shu Ning look puzzled. She looked up subconsciously and saw Zhao Zheng appeared at the door of the office at some point, which surprised her.

"Master Zheng, are you healed?"

"Okay, that's almost it."

Zhao Zheng glanced at Ah Chu, whose face had turned pale and who had retreated on guard, and said to Shu Ning with a smile. He paused and continued, "By the way, I came to you this time because of the newspaper matter."

"newspaper?"

"Well...how about this, let's go to Hexinglou and have a cup of tea and chat." Zhao Zheng said with a smile, and Shu Ning nodded with a smile.

"it is good……"

"Don't go."

Achu's voice interrupted Shu Ning's words. Shu Ning looked at Achu who suddenly got angry with a strange expression. Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"It seems that the slap I gave you wasn't painful enough?"

"Mr. Zhao, I'm with..."

Snapped--

There was a crisp slap sound, accompanied by the flying out of another wisdom tooth, and Achu once again performed a 720-degree turn in the air.

Shu Ning covered his mouth and stared blankly with his eyes wide open at Zhao Zheng who suddenly attacked, and Achu who was lying on the ground screaming.

"Master Zheng, you..."

"He provoked me first."

"oh oh."

"Let's go. Don't worry, he's fine. This slap I gave him was just to remove his wisdom teeth for free." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"oh oh……"

Shu Ning had a strange expression on his face, but A Chu got up from the ground with a roar and rushed towards Zhao Zheng with his fists waving.

"I'll fight you... woo woo..."

Zhao Zheng's big hand, like an iron clamp, grabbed Achu's neck and lifted him up high.

Shu Ning was filled with fear and stepped back subconsciously, while Zhao Zheng smiled as he watched Achu struggling and kicking his legs.

"Most people can only hold their breath for about a minute, and after a minute, they will die of suffocation..."

As Zhao Zheng spoke, he took out a pocket watch with his empty left hand and pinched it. As the second hand moved, he looked at Achu who was struggling and whimpering.

"How long do you think you can hold out?"

"Put... me... down..."

Achu, who was lifted in the air, had a flushed face, veins bulging on his forehead, and struggled desperately with his hands, but found that he could not touch Zhao Zheng at all, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking him.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Zheng asked back with a smile. As his right hand continued to exert force, Ah Chu only felt that the vision in front of his eyes became darker and darker, breathing became more and more difficult, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.

"Spare...life..."

"I... was... wrong..." "Master... help..."

Seeing Ah Chu struggling and looking like he was about to suffocate, Shu Ning, who was standing by, stepped back with horror and bumped his head against the table.

But when she saw Zhao Zheng making an OK gesture to her, the fear in her heart disappeared again, making her feel very strange and confused. Why did she trust Zhao Zheng so much? !

Shu Ning looked at Zhao Zheng with a puzzled look in her eyes, and even she didn't notice that the panicked expression on her face had disappeared.

“Is this the devil’s heart?”

A bewitching demon?

Is this the power of the devil?
Zhao Zheng looked at the change in Shu Ning's attitude and continued to pinch Achu's neck, whose resistance was becoming weaker and weaker.

Time flies by,

Soon, a minute passed.

bang——

There was a dull sound, and Achu, who looked like a dead dog, was thrown to the ground by Zhao Zheng. After landing, Achu opened his mouth and breathed heavily, coughing, as if a drowning person finally got ashore. However, when he saw Zhao Zheng's gaze, he immediately stood up and backed away with a look of horror on his face: "You, you, you... don't come over here..."

"Now you know you're afraid?"

Zhao Zheng asked back with a smile, looking at Ah Chu who was still in shock, and said to Shu Ning: "Let's go, Miss Shu Ning."

"oh oh……"

Shu Ning nodded and looked at Achu's frightened face curiously. She was very curious about what Achu had done to offend Zhao Zheng.

but,

He is such a coward!
He didn't even dare to resist.

Shu Ning looked at Achu with disdain and disgust in his eyes, which were like a knife stabbing into Achu's heart, causing Achu to clench his fists and lower his head.

Just when he was imagining that Shu Ning would come over to care about him, he only saw Shu Ning following Zhao Zheng out of the newspaper office. This attitude of ignoring him made him feel a sharp pain in his heart.

"Zhao Zheng..."

Achu gnashed his teeth and watched the two men's receding backs, but when Zhao Zheng turned around, Achu was frightened and stepped back in fear.

“So, some people are just mean…”

Zhao Zheng shook his head and laughed, without even looking at Achu whose courage was broken, he retracted his gaze and said to Shu Ning who was walking down the stairs with him.

"Actually, it's very simple to come to you this time..."

After a while,
Hop Hing Building,
Private rooms on the second floor.

"So that's how it is... No wonder you came to find us suddenly." The speaker was Lin Zhijian, who happened to meet them halfway.

"Yes, so I hope you two won't report the matter of Cixi's tomb in the newspapers, if for no other reason than to consider the people in the town..."

Zhao Zheng came to find Shu Ning this time, the main purpose was to win their hearts and minds, and to ask the two not to make random reports.
the reason,
Of course, it is to avoid trouble.

Why wouldn't he solve the problem that can be solved with just one sentence? Thinking about it, Zhao Zheng added: "Just like the two generals who came for Cixi's tomb before, if the matter of Cixi's tomb is reported, even if this tomb is a fake one, it will probably attract many warlords to come..."

"We understand. Master Zheng, please rest assured. I will report back to the newspaper and rewrite the content of the newspaper to cover up the incident of Empress Dowager Cixi's tomb."

Lin Zhijian spoke, Shu Ning frowned, and subconsciously said: "The people have the right to know the truth, why do we have to..."

"Ahem, Shu Ning, we are doing this for the benefit of the people in this town." Lin Zhijian said quickly with a cough.

"But……"

"Persuade her well."

Zhao Zheng smiled and threw down a dollar, shouted to Si Xi to pay the bill, then got up and left, leaving behind Shu Ning with a frown and Lin Zhijian with a helpless look on his face.

"Shu Ning, just listen to Master Zheng."

"But wouldn't doing so be tantamount to going against the original intention of running a newspaper?" Shu Ning looked at Lin Zhijian with a frown.

"Shu Ning, I know what you mean, but can you please consider the people in this town? What if a commander with bad conduct comes and Young Master Zheng happens not to be here..."

Lin Zhijian did not continue speaking, but just stared at Shu Ning. Shu Ning frowned, but finally nodded helplessly.

"understood……"

"That's good to know. Let's go. Let's go back to the club and change the content. Oh, by the way, where is Ah Chu?" Lin Zhijian walked out of the box and looked around curiously.

"I guess Ah Chu doesn't dare to come over..."

Shu Ning had a strange look on his face. Seeing the confusion on Lin Zhijian's face, he leaned in and explained in a low voice, causing Lin Zhijian to laugh.

"It's what he deserves. He must have provoked Master Zheng."

"I think so……"

The two of them went downstairs chatting and laughing, not noticing at all that the face of a man sitting at a table in the corner of the hall was becoming increasingly darker.

time flies,

Six days passed in a flash.

September 25th,
early morning.

Without Guangming Daily's hype, the fake Empress Dowager Cixi's tomb and the ghost Empress Dowager's story would be like a drop of rain falling into the sea.
There was not a single wave.

Of course, the real reason why there was no stir was that some people didn’t want this matter to cause any stir, so it didn’t.

Even the death of Marshal Li was left unresolved. If the pit where Cixi's tomb was located had not still been there, and if villagers had not occasionally picked up beads and copper coins from near Cixi's tomb, the people of Gantian Town would probably have forgotten about it long ago.

Fuxi Hall,
In the guest room.

"It seems easier to induce now..."

Zhao Zheng skillfully took off the second arm that he had successfully induced from his armpit using extreme methods and put it into the sword box.

Just as he was preparing to continue using the extreme method to induce the differentiation of omnipotent stem cells so as to regain his three-headed and six-armed magical power that was destroyed when he killed the great demon, his eyes moved.

He waved his hand to open the window, looked at the rising sun that had just broken through the clouds in the east, frowned slightly and asked, "Where does the evil spirit come from?"

Is that the unlucky crab?

Or are those three fluttering moths coming? !

"Have a look..."

After putting away the sword case, Zhao Zheng left a note saying he was going out. He turned into a golden thread and disappeared into the sky. After a while, he arrived at Zhenbei Mountain.

I saw a man with white hair and a youthful face coming towards me. Oh, he was a monk holding a Zen stick, or rather, he was a monk with white beard and a youthful face running at full speed.

"Old Abbot, it's refreshing!"

Zhao Zheng suddenly appeared beside the old monk. The old monk was startled, then smiled slightly: "Morning exercises are very beneficial for cultivating inner alchemy!"

"…Odds change but evens don't?"

Zhao Zheng asked with twitching eyelids as he listened to the other party's answer. Seeing the old monk's confused look, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little regretful that he had lost the chance to shoot him in the back.

He grinned and looked at the old monk's flying skills and said, "I see that you are calm and relaxed while running, and your steps are as fast as flying. I wonder how many years you have been practicing?"

"It's only been more than three hundred years. I wonder how much you have been practicing for so long?" The old monk said with a smile. Zhao Zheng looked surprised.

"More than three hundred years? That's a long time! I've only been practicing for more than a year."

"???"

What, more than a year?

The old monk lost his balance and almost fell down, but Zhao Zheng didn't care and just smiled.

"But you are quite good at passing yourself off as a real person, senior. Unfortunately, you met me, bold monster. I can tell at a glance that you are not human. I want you to show your true colors..."
