I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 78 From now on, you will call me Fu Yitu

An Xuting.

To be precise, it is Prince An's palace. For tonight's martial arts banquet, people have been ordered to renovate and decorate it in advance.

Look at the elegant and unique decoration, silk and bamboo orchestral music, and feasting.

Look at this beauty, her enchanting grace, her charming eyes, and her charming eyes.

……

"Wait a minute, why does this place feel like the Goulan Courtyard?" Cao An looked at the guests passing by.

It feels like going to Jiaofangsi.

After going to court and taking off their official uniforms, everyone came here to meet each other with playful smiles.

It's said to be a gathering of young talents. There are at least twice as many women as there are men. Who are you kidding?
  Pang Shi, as a veteran, skillfully led him to the table, first poured a few glasses of wine into his throat, and then ate some melon and fruit desserts.

"Pit your stomach, wait a minute! Our ladies will come to find you, save some energy to fight."

"Your use of the word 'confrontation' is really quite subtle..."

I was quite nervous before I came here. Why did I see this scene after I came in?
  The surrounding guests are bustling with people. You can tell from the environment that this is a high-end venue, and the people responsible for serving tea and water are all palace officials.

But just above this feast, there was an unharmonious scene, which was a group of young women, laughing and dancing in the venue.

Cao An didn't think they were qualified to participate in the [Martial Arts Banquet]. Most of them should have been specially invited by the organizer.

Could it be, it’s really from the Flower Street side...

"Of course not. Don't think it's too dirty. After all, it's organized by our King An, so it's very formal."

"A dozen women were ogling you along the way. Give me a formal explanation."

"The reason is very simple! They are concubines from wealthy families."

Hearing the word "concubine", Cao An also suddenly realized.

The daughter born to the main wife is the legitimate daughter, while the daughter born to the side wife is the concubine. Just hearing these different titles, one can understand in her heart that there is a huge gap in status between the two.

There were not a few concubines from wealthy families who married off as concubines according to the advice of their parents' matchmakers.

Therefore, they hope to try their best to find a suitable husband at such banquets.

Considering that the relationship between supply and demand hit it off, King An was right.

The man next to Cao An, who is young and promising and holds a high position, is naturally the best son-in-law.

More importantly, Pang Shi is still single. If he can get the position of head wife, then...

Don't do that, just do it. As soon as you took your seat, the warblers and swallows were already surrounding you.

"Pang Duzhi, long time no see! Have you been so busy lately? You haven't even come to see me."

"Pang Duzhi, I wrote a poem recently, please help me read it."

Cao An was squeezed into the outer circle. Seeing this lively scene, he was amazed.

Having seen the prosperity of Flower Street and the high-end Jiaofang Division, the enthusiasm of this young lady in front of me was even more eye-opening.

With Pangshi's wantonness, he naturally had both sides. In just a short while, he already had six sachets in his arms, which was like frying fish in a pond.

As for Cao An, he is unknown. He has only been in officialdom for half a month. No one knows him, so he naturally receives less attention.

Fortunately, Pang Shi was very loyal. He pointed at him and said to the girls: "You guys, why doesn't anyone recognize the goodness of my brother? Brother Cao is a very talented person, and I am ashamed of myself."

Pang Duzhi's good brother? Young and talented?

All the ladies immediately became interested, bowed, and said shyly, "Young lady, you are so polite. Your Excellency is a bit rude. You are really neglecting me."

"Where are you? I'm Cao An, the water embroidery department in Qingyi. Girls, please be polite."

Cao An's self-introduction was very concise, so concise that after listening to it, the ladies all lost interest.

Tsing Yi Department?
  Isn't it just a yamen? The petty officials in the yamen are at most eight grades. Their salaries are low and their work is heavy. What's so good about it?

He turned his head and threw himself next to Pangshi again. This scene was too real.

Pang Shi was also amused: "You guys! You are really ignorant. My brother Cao is the most popular new official in recent times!"

"The one who wins the most limelight?" The women had all inquired about the new talent in the court in advance: "Master Cao, is he as famous as Mr. Fu?"

"Master Fu? Which Master Fu?"

"Naturally, Lord Wenhai! He was appreciated by the court at a young age and was recommended as a member of the Ministry of Etiquette and a sixth-grade official." Young and high-ranking officials are the best criteria for women here to judge their husbands.

"But I'm sorry, I don't care if others show off. How dare that boy Fu Wenhai show off in front of me? Where are they?"

Cao An stood up and swept across the audience.

This tone, not to mention the women around him, even Pang Shi was shocked.

"Do you have any grudges with him?"

"Some. As I said last time, he will be in bad luck if he sees him again." Cao An gritted his teeth and prepared for a wave of ambition.

"Um, do you need my help?"

"No need, it's easy to get rid of him." After Cao An finished speaking, he left aggressively.

King An's villa was very large, but only young talents were invited, and the number of people was not large. Soon, he found the high-spirited Fu Wenhai in the small garden.

The talented and beauties gathered around and looked at their posture, they seemed to be having a great time!
  It's a pity that this kid teamed up with Mu Bai to put on a show for him. Mu Bai even came to apologize and let's forget about being coquettish. You kid is still snarling in front of me?
  Without saying a word, Cao An walked over and gave him a cordial greeting.

"Fu Yidian, haha! Long time no see! Fu Yidian, I heard you got promoted? Congratulations!"

Cao An's rude entry forced the surrounding officials and beauties to step aside, frowning in confusion.

Fu Wenhai was even more stunned, and it took him a while to react: "Cao An? Are you calling me?"

"Of course, we haven't seen each other for just a few days, and you don't remember me?"

Back in Nanshan College, this person had an arrogant tone. Now that he is in the sixth rank, his chin is almost raised to the sky.

He shook the expensive robe on his body and warned arrogantly: "Master Cao, you have to think clearly when you speak. My name is Fu Wenhai. I called you by the wrong name, but it is very rude."

"That's right~ I've also heard that you're not very good at sex. It's just one kick and it's over! I asked you to pay for it. Isn't there anything wrong with it?"

Can't have sex?

Even if it doesn't work, there should be a few seconds of buffering time. How can it be done in one fell swoop?
  No matter how stupid Fu Wenhai was, he knew that Cao An was humiliating him in public, so he burst into anger and yelled!
  "Cao An! You'd better pay attention to your words and deeds. I'm a dignified sixth-grade Yuanwailang. If you slander me again, be careful that I tell the court about you!"

"Slander? There is no slander! I went back to Nanshan College a few days ago to ask about your old friend."

Cao An's eyes gradually darkened, he came close to him, patted his shoulder, and whispered:

"Your old friend told me that you asked her out that night. The play went well. After I saw you singing, I kicked out everyone in the Taoist library."

With two words, Fu Wenhai, who was still angry just now, was suppressed.

He obeyed the orders of Mubai Oiran to act in a play. After the play was completed, he was promoted and made a fortune. Unexpectedly, Cao An found out?
  He even kicked his backstage staff out of the academy?

Thinking of the day before yesterday, Mu Bai suddenly issued a message that he must not be an enemy of Cao An. Is this person's background more powerful?

Fu Wenhai's heart suddenly went cold, and his high-spirited energy was extinguished on the spot.

"Recognize it? Just admit it! Fu Yitu, this name suits you very well."

There was no physical harm, but Fu Yitu's combat prowess was recognized in seconds, and he would be humiliated in the court in the future. Cao An's face would appear in his nightmares at night.

Moreover, this coward who dared to be angry but did not speak out immediately made the girls around him lose interest.

On the other hand, Cao An turned around and left handsomely after cursing, but no one dared to reply? Even the officials around him took the initiative to give way to him, which was really domineering.

The girls couldn't help but quietly asked the official next to them: "Sir, aren't you also an official in the Ministry of Etiquette? Why don't you go up and say a few words of help?"

"You can't tell me, I can't mess with you, don't hurt me." The official shook his head without hesitation and broke into a cold sweat.

This made the girls even more curious: "Who is that person? So powerful?"

"His name is Cao An, Shuixiu from the Tsing Yi Department."

"Tsing Yi Department? Isn't that a police officer?"

"He is not an ordinary policeman. He can send the Minister of Justice to jail, force the Minister of Works to death, thoroughly investigate six doors, and overpower the Demon Slayer Division. The Minister of War will call him a benefactor when he sees him. You Say, who dares to provoke me?"

There were exclamations from around him from time to time, and the eyes looking at him were a bit frightened.

But he is obviously a very kind person, so I really misunderstood him.

After returning to his position, before Cao An could find a good relationship, he heard a sharp voice from an official: "Prince An is here!!"

Tonight's true master finally appeared.
