Strangely enough, with a burst of kneading from Mrs. Xiguo, Shen Zhuliu's injury was repaired and gradually became straighter.

After kneading for a while, Shen Zhuliu's face suddenly turned red, his breathing began to quicken, and his eyes stared at the charming face so close:

"Ma'am, I feel so uncomfortable!"

"Good boy! Good boy! Auntie loves you! Auntie loves you!" Mrs. Xiguo Gong smiled coquettishly. The door of the room closed at some point, the candlelight went out with a 'pop', and the room fell into darkness.

Duke Rong's Mansion

Cui Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, and the power of destruction circulated within his body for a week, and all the strange fragrance was wiped out.

He always felt that something was not right between the Duke Rong's Palace and the Duke Xi's Palace. The Duke's wife did not know what means she would use to harm him. He did not dare to let the tea brewed by the Duke's Lady Xi stay in his stomach.

Fortunately, Cui Yunei has a golden body to suppress him and a golden finger, so he is not afraid of weird tricks.

I'm not afraid of returning, but it's troublesome to be plotted against.

It was just dawn and Cui Yu hadn't gotten up yet. Hai Lan's voice had already sounded outside the door: "Get up quickly. There are still assessments today. There can't be any surprises. We need to arrive three quarters of an hour early."

Cui Yu's magical power circulated in his body, and the creation technique cleansed his body, and all the dust and dirt turned into nothingness.

Opening the door, he saw Hai Lan standing outside the door, still dressed in men's clothing, standing quietly under the tree with a long sword in his arms. It seemed that all the previous barriers had not happened, and both parties had a tacit understanding and did not mention what happened that day. .

"Have you had breakfast?" Cui Yu looked at Hai Lan.

Hai Lan rolled his eyes: "It's okay for a Qi practitioner to go without food for a day, right?"

Of course, there is no problem. Cui Yu just thinks that the food in Rongguo Duke's mansion is very good and he doesn't want to owe anything to his stomach.

However, seeing Hai Lan's expression, Cui Yu chose to remain silent and followed Hai Lan outside the house.

Hai Lan took out two steamed buns from his sleeves and handed them to Cui Yu: "Just eat two steamed buns first and make do with it. Now is the critical moment of the assessment. You can't eat anything in the house, nor can you eat anything outside. "

"Where is this bun?" Cui Yu held the bun with a curious expression. There seemed to be a faint body fragrance surrounding the bun.

"I personally selected the ingredients for the buns, stole flour and vegetables from a random farm three hundred miles away, and then personally went deep underground to get spring water to make the buns." Hai Lan said.

Hearing Hai Lan's words, Cui Yu was stunned: "Is it that serious?"

"I'm afraid you haven't seen the methods of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You can't be too cautious." Hailan sighed quietly: "These are all bloody lessons."

Cui Yu ate the steamed buns. They tasted ordinary and not very delicious, but they were very simple and in line with the characteristics of farmers.

"What's the process today?" Cui Yu asked.

"First go to the Ministry of Etiquette to accept the assessment, then go to the Ministry of Personnel, and then wait for the news." Hai Lan looked at Cui Yu with one eye: "The Ministry of Etiquette is pretty simple. You have memorized the etiquette I taught you. What's next? As long as the assessment is done step by step without making any mistakes, things will be done. As for the official department, what is assessed is strategy and ability. When the time comes, you just have to adapt to the situation. Shenqi is the successor appointed by the previous generation, and his name is justified. Even if he fails the assessment, he will be able to do it. You don’t have to worry about being demoted and inherited.”

"As long as there are no big problems, it's just a formality." Hailan comforted.

Cui Yu was speechless after hearing the words. After eating the buns, he and Hai Lan got into the carriage. Hai Lan sat in the carriage and deliberately kept a distance from Cui Yu. A sense of unfamiliarity echoed between the two.

Cui Yu didn't say anything. He was thinking about how to make money.

"For me, getting money is easy, but how to convert the money into gold is not that difficult. It is almost impossible to exchange ordinary silver or Kong Fang money for gold. No fool I will do this." Cui Yu's mind flickered: "In this case, we need to spend some thought on how to suppress the value of gold, or even depreciate it significantly and ask major aristocratic families to sell gold."

Cui Yu thought of countless ideas in his mind. It is not difficult for him to short the economy. For example, if Bitcoin in the previous life is speculated, its value will be much higher than gold. Then, why not just sell the gold of major families directly? Has it been redeemed?

Or maybe there are several Ponzi schemes, setting up a demon sacrifice, just like when they tricked Yan Qu, Tang Zhou and others, they directly took a large amount of gold and ran away.

Cui Yu was familiar with doing this kind of thing, but he still needed to be careful to avoid being caught doing it.

Now the Lisheng lineage is searching for the mastermind behind the scenes, and he doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire.

"It is said that Saint Laili broke the shackles of Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the help of Da Qi's energy and escaped from the mysterious place. His cultivation and magical powers must have improved even more. I don't know if Da Qi will make bigger moves in the future. ." Countless thoughts flickered in Cui Yu's mind: "The Shen family is a well-established platform for me. I am going to use the Shen family to take advantage of the opportunity to control the world."

Cui Yu has laid out a plan that can influence the world. The first chess piece is Xiang Yu, the second chess piece is Han Xin, the third chess piece is the Ape Demon Great Sage, and the fourth chess piece is the mold Cui Yu discovered in the Road to Heaven.

However, the fourth chess piece is full of too much uncontrollability. Even if Cui Yu is in a desperate situation, he will not leak the mold.

That mold is so terrifying that not even the great ape demon can resist it, let alone ordinary creatures?

Once the mold leaks out, it will definitely lead to the annihilation of the entire species.

Countless thoughts were flowing in Cui Yu's heart. After all, there was still not enough gold. He had tried his best to get a few taels of silver in the world. Otherwise, how could he have such a headache?

The carriage rolled all the way to the Ministry of Rites.

It was still dark at this time, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were not at work. Cui Yu and Hai Lan's carriages stopped outside the Ministry of Rites, and both of them fell into silence with their eyes, nose, and heart in mind.

With the sound of drums, the door of the Ministry of Rites opened, and officials of all sizes began to go on duty. Cui Yu and Hai Lan got off the carriage and walked towards the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, there are officials from the Ministry of Rites waiting outside the door. How can the officials from the Ministry of Rites not pay attention to the assessment of the dignified government?

This is the Duke's Mansion!

Even if he is now weakened, he cannot be offended by just the Ministry of Rites.

There was nothing outstanding about the assessment within the Ministry of Etiquette. Cui Yu passed the assessment smoothly. The official of the Ministry of Etiquette took out a note, wrote "excellent" on it, gave it to Cui Yu and Hailan, and sent them out respectfully. After exiting the gate, the two of them headed towards the official department.

"The assessment of the Ministry of Personnel is the most difficult and has the most variables. Although I have prepared some answers for you in advance, you still have to rely on yourself at the critical moment. However, you are the heir designated by Duke Rongguo during his lifetime, and coming here is just a formality. That's all, the officials won't make things difficult for you." As the carriage was walking on the street, Hai Lan saw Cui Yu closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking that Cui Yu was worried, so he quickly spoke to persuade him.

Hearing Hai Lan's words, Cui Yu nodded, but didn't say anything.

The carriage stopped in front of the official department. The people from the official department looked at the carriage of the Duke's Mansion and immediately stepped forward to lead the way. Along the way, they led Cui Yu and Hai Lan to the lobby of the official department and respectfully served tea: "Sir, please wait a moment." Later, the head of the Ministry of Personnel will be here soon."

Cui Yu was sitting peacefully in the lobby of the official department. He picked up the tea and was about to drink it when he heard Hai Lan cough. Cui Yu paused and then slowly put down the tea he had picked up.

Cui Yu didn't let Cui Yu wait for long. There was a sound of footsteps, and he saw an old man in his fifties walking quickly out of the side hall: "Liu Wende, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, pays homage to Mr. Xiaoguo."

The head of the Ministry of Personnel is very polite. When facing disciples from such a big family, it is better to do more than to do less. He does not dare to speak carelessly or put on airs.

A strong family and a smooth official.

"I'm Bai Shen, I'm not allowed to call you this. I just hope that you can be merciful during the assessment later." Cui Yu stood up with a smile and quickly returned the salute.

Liu Wende glanced at Cui Yu in surprise. All the young masters of these great nobles had high-spirited and bad-tempered tempers. It was rare to find someone as easy to talk to as Cui Yu.

You must know that in this world of cannibalism, there are distinct levels of hierarchy. The so-called scholar-bureaucrats are no different from ordinary people to the nobles.

"The Duke is joking. I hope that the Duke will reward me with a bowl of rice in the future." Liu Wende was very polite: "I also ask the Duke to come with me. The assessment will be in our Libu Confucian Temple. .”

Cui Yu nodded and was about to speak when a burst of curses came from afar:

"Where are the officials from the Ministry of Personnel? Liu Wende, where did you die? You haven't come out to His Highness."

There was a burst of curses outside the lobby, and the voice was somewhat familiar.

Hearing the scolding, Liu Wende's expression suddenly changed and turned into a bitter look. He quickly adjusted his sleeves and walked out of the door to greet him: "Your Highness, I am here. If you have any dissatisfaction, please ask me." Order."

"Bah, you Liu Wende, how dare you go against the law? Last time I told you that the Huainan Mansion's assessment was graded A, so why did you give me a grade B? It's so embarrassing that I'm here

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Personnel is not the one who has the final say. There are eight other chief officials. They insist on holding a vote, and there is nothing I can do about it? Zou Liang of Huainan Prefecture really failed to live up to his expectations and even bought and sold official land. I killed a distant relative of the Minister of Rites in the DPRK, so a villain would not dare to do anything random." Liu Wende's voice was filled with grievances.

"You bastard, I think you're just trying to deal with me. My eldest brother can handle his affairs, my third brother's affairs can be handled, but you can't handle them when you get to me, right?" The man scolded and walked quickly into the lobby. , kicked open the door aggressively, and then saw Cui Yu sitting in the lobby, and he couldn't help but froze:

"It's you!"

"Your Highness, do you know me?" Cui Yu asked in surprise, looking at Ji Wuxin opposite, but he didn't expect to see him here.

But now that he was carrying Shenqi's identity, he couldn't admit that he was Cui Yu, so in the face of Shenqi's doubts, he chose to pretend to be dumbfounded.

Cui Yu had already died in that inn.

"Haha, kid, stop pretending to me, weren't you very tough that day? I didn't expect that the fire didn't burn you to death." Ji Wuxin smiled coldly.

Cui Yu stood up, his eyes full of astonishment: "Why is the inn so hot? What is your highness talking about? I apologize for not understanding."

Ji Wuxin smiled coldly: "Pretend to be stupid! Cui Yu, His Highness has found out your details. Are you pretending in front of me? Are you interested? You dared to do things at the beginning, why don't you dare to admit it today?"

"Cui Yu? What Cui Yu? I have met His Highness. Is there some misunderstanding?" Cui Yu looked confused.

"Shen Qi? Are you Shen Qi?" Ji Wuxin was stunned when he heard this and looked at Cui Yu in astonishment.

He came to the Ministry of Personnel today just to pray for God.

As a prince, he had experience in the official department, and he exerted a lot of energy in the official department.

"Could you be teasing me by riding on the horse? You are obviously Cui Yu, how can you be Shenqi?" Ji Wuxin was stunned and turned to look at Liu Wende. Liu Wende was such a shrewd man. When he saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Highness, do you have some misunderstanding? This person is indeed not named Cui Yu, but the young master of Duke Rongguo."

"Damn it, is there really such a coincidence in the world that there are two identical faces?" Ji Wuxin was a little dazed.

But Ji Wuxin still refused to give up. At this time, he stepped forward and stared at Cui Yu, his eyes full of inexplicable color, as if he wanted to see through Cui Yu.

"You are Cui Yu! Your Highness doesn't know what nonsense God prays for." Ji Wuxin suddenly spoke.

Cui Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Highness, I am really praying to you. As for Cui Yu you are talking about, I remember that back in Liangjie Mountain, I once met a man who was the same as him in a village. There must be some resemblance, he is exactly the Cui Yu that His Highness mentioned. The villain had a big fight with this person back then."

Hearing Cui Yu's explanation, Ji Wuxin's doubts dissipated. After taking a closer look at today's divine prayer, he found that it was completely different from the arrogant and domineering Cui Yu that day. In terms of aura, they were two different people.

"Are you really not Cui Yu? How could there be such a coincidence in this world? There are two such similar faces?" Ji Wuxin still didn't believe it, and was doubtful.

He is too young, and Shenqi has been kept in captivity in the Duke's Mansion all year round to prevent him from being assassinated outside, so many people have never seen Shenqi's face.

"Your Highness, forgive me. To be honest, this villain looks similar to that despicable person, and I feel very disgusted." Cui Yu said with a bitter smile.

After Shen Qi walked around Cui Yu for a few times, he suddenly said: "Whether you are Cui Yu or Shen Qi, or you are just the same person, it doesn't matter. I heard that you have taken refuge with my elder brother?" Your Highness will give you a chance now. If you choose to seek refuge with me, that’s it for today. If not, I’m afraid you won’t be able to pass today’s test.”

Cui Yu changed his face when he heard this, and Hai Lan frowned: "Your Highness, you only have the right to consult in the Ministry of Personnel. Now you are directly interfering in the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. This is against the rules."
