The world of film and television begins from childhood

One may be greedy for money, but since he has received the money, he naturally has to do something.

"Sir, where do you want to go?"

"Inspection Institute."

"what?"

Wang Qinian was so frightened that he trembled and almost dropped the silver in his hand, with a sad face.

"Please forgive me, sir. I just want to make a little money. It's not worth it for you to go to the Inspection Institute in person. Otherwise, I will refund you the money and only charge you two taels of silver for the map. You can find someone else to lead the way?"

Zhou Chen refused decisively: "No, a married woman is like spilled water. You took my money, and it is impossible for you to return it."

Wang Qinian was so anxious that he almost cried: "Sir, you are of noble status, there is no need to bother with a small person like Wang, I..."

"Don't worry. I asked you to take me to the Inspection Institute not to report you. I have heard of the Institute for Inspection for a long time, but I have never seen it. Since it is a rare opportunity to come to Kyoto, I want to take a look at the headquarters of the Institute."

"Really?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will report you to the Inspection Bureau for cheating people."

"No, no, sir, I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way."

Wang Qinian immediately agreed decisively: "Young Master, wait for me, I will pack up and lead the way for you."

As soon as he turned around, the smile on his face became extremely bright. As long as he was not reported to the Inspection Bureau, he didn't care.

A map sells for two taels of silver, and a guide can earn three taels of silver. If I can earn this much every day, I'd rather quit my job as a clerk in the Inspection Institute.

But while packing his things, he was still confused. He hadn't heard that any young man from a prominent family would be coming to Beijing recently.

Wang Qinian has been in Kyoto for decades. He wouldn't say that he has a keen eye, but he does have at least the ability to judge people.

This young man in white looked lazy, but one could tell from his bearing and the tone of his voice that he was not from a poor family. He was not overbearing and spoke softly, yet gave people a slight sense of pressure, a bit like someone who had been in a high position for many years and gave orders.

And that black horse, wow, he had never seen such a majestic and spiritual horse. This black horse alone might be worth more than a hundred taels of silver.

So he made up his mind to take the young man to the Inspection Institute and leave quickly to avoid trouble.

As soon as Zhou Chen passed the city gate, he immediately went to meet him.

"Sir, I will lead the way for you. However, Sir, in this capital, you are not allowed to ride a horse unless you are an official."

Zhou Chen pointed to the front: "Aren't those people on horseback?"

Wang Qinian took a look and laughed dryly, "Those are the sons of the Dukes and Marquises. You know the rules, sir."

"Of course I understand. But I have walked a long way to Kyoto. I am tired and don't want to get off the horse. You will be responsible for leading the way. If anyone comes to ask, let him find me."

Zhou Chen turned around and lay down on the horse's back again. Xuanfeng followed Wang Qinian without Zhou Chen's instructions.

Wang Qinian saw this scene and scratched his head: "Hey, it seems that this gentleman is not simple. Five taels of silver is not easy to earn. Wang is so lucky."

Muttering to himself, he still took a step forward and led the way.

As they walked into the city, people on the road saw Zhou Chen lying on his horse and walking forward, and they all looked at him sideways, expressing their curiosity.

In Kyoto, it is not uncommon to see people riding horses or riding in horse-drawn carriages, but this is the first time I have seen someone sleeping on a horse's back. Isn't he afraid of falling off?

However, people who are skilled in martial arts could tell that Zhou Chen must have very strong martial arts skills since he was sleeping soundly on the horse's back.

Along the way, they also encountered yamen runners. When they saw Zhou Chen walking on a horse, they wanted to intervene. However, when they saw Wang Qinian, who was leading the way, was wearing the uniform of the Inspection Bureau, they tactfully avoided him and did not make any trouble.

There are many forces in Kyoto, but the Inspection Bureau is definitely one of the most powerful forces in Kyoto and one of the forces that should not be provoked. As long as nothing happens, those yamen runners don't want to meddle in other people's business.

Wang Qinian quickened his pace and saw that the black horse behind him was catching up steadily. Zhou Chen, who was lying on the horse's back with his face covered, did not react at all, which made him even more surprised.

"Whose young master is this? He is so young, but his martial arts skills are really good."

Lying on a horse's back seems simple, but lying steadily when the horse is running is different. This requires strong body control ability.

Suddenly, the whirlwind stopped, and then Wang Qinian's voice rang out.

"Sir, the Inspection Bureau has arrived."

Zhou Chen took the book covering his face away, sat up from the horse, and glanced at the solemn and majestic building next to him.

Inspection Institute!

"Is this the Inspection Office? It's so quiet."

The Inspection Institute is so famous in Qing that ordinary people are unwilling to pass by here, so the area around the Inspection Institute is very quiet and there are hardly any people to be seen.

"Yes, sir, this is the Inspection Institute. I have already completed your request. Can I leave first?" Wang Qinian asked cautiously.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but got off his horse, his eyes fell on the tall stone tablet at the entrance of the Inspection Institute, and slowly walked over.

"I hope that the laws of Qing will be established for the people; not tolerated because of nobility, not deprived because of poverty; no unjustified injustice, no forced crime, obeying the law is like wielding a sword, breaking the evil spirits and worship, not seeking gods."

Wang Qinian, who was about to leave, stopped involuntarily when he heard Zhou Chen read out the contents of the inscription and looked at the man in white standing in front of the stele.

"I hope that the people of Qing will have the truth to follow, know propriety and morality, and keep a benevolent heart... I hope that there will be no more oppression and bondage in this world... I hope that one day everyone will be born equal, and there will be no distinction between noble and humble. Protecting life and pursuing light is what I wish for. Although there are thousands of twists and turns, we will not be afraid to move forward. We are born equal and everyone is like a dragon."

After slowly reading the entire inscription, Zhou Chen had a solemn expression and remained silent for a long time.

"That's a nice thing to say, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's great, but it's just a wish after all, and there's no possibility of it coming true."

Wang Qinian was shocked as he saw a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask walking out of the yard. He was pushing a wheelchair, and sitting on the wheelchair was a beardless, majestic man with gray hair, skinny hands, and a lightning-like gaze.

The person who spoke was the man in the wheelchair.

"Although it is a wish and a dream that is impossible to achieve, the fact that you dare to think like this is already worthy of admiration. Ye Qingmei is truly an amazing person."

Zhou Chen was filled with emotion. Even though he had lived for hundreds of years and traveled through dozens of worlds, he never dared to imagine that there would be such a world.

Even the era in which Ye Qingmei lived was far from what she had imagined. Such a world could only appear in dreams.

But Ye Qingmei not only thought so, she also did so. She wanted to build Qing Kingdom into such a world, but obviously, she failed.

Perhaps, she herself knew that it was impossible to succeed, but she still did it, and she did it not for herself, but sincerely for the people of the world.

Call her naive or a saint, but Zhou Chen admires people like her.

"But many people don't think so, and instead find it ridiculous."

“No one can laugh at a person who has a dream and works hard for it.”

Zhou Chen slowly turned around and looked at Chen Pingping who was sitting in a wheelchair. Although it was the first time they met, he knew he was Chen Pingping without saying anything.

Chen Pingping, the first director of the Inspection Institute, is a person with extremely complex psychology. He is also one of the most popular characters in Joy of Life and one of Fan Xian's "fathers".

Chen Pingping still remembers what Zhou Chen said.

"No one can laugh at a person who has a dream and works hard for it. That's a very good point."

Chen Pingping looked at Zhou Chen seriously. Just now when he came out of the yard, he heard someone reading the inscription, so he came over involuntarily and saw Zhou Chen.

Chapter 1428 Tonight, I will massacre Kyoto with blood!

Looking at Zhou Chen, who was dressed in white, had a solemn expression and was handsome, Chen Pingping's eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Is this your first time at the Inspection Institute?"

"Yes, I've heard of the Inspection Bureau for a long time, but I've never been here. I'm in a good mood today, so I came to take a look."

"How do you feel? Are you disappointed?"

"Not disappointed at all. No, I can't say I'm not disappointed at all. I'm still a little disappointed. If I was born 20 years earlier, maybe I could have met that amazing woman. Maybe we could have become good friends."

Zhou Chen smiled. Maybe some people thought Ye Qingmei was a little saintly, but he didn't think so. Instead, he thought she was a woman with a strong personality and strong opinions, and also a little silly.

Could a person who could use a Barrett to snipe two princes of the Qing Kingdom be a saint?

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Chen Pingping fell silent.

friend?

He hadn't heard this word for a long time, and this word made him think of the person in his heart involuntarily.

"I heard that she was murdered by someone, is that right, Dean Chen?"

Chen Pingping's expression changed instantly, and he stared at Zhou Chen sharply.

"how you said that?"

"Nothing, just asking casually. If Dean Chen doesn't want to tell me, forget it. In fact, the result can be seen from this inscription. I have always felt that no matter what ideal or dream a person has, it is only possible to realize it when he is alive. If he dies, then he will really have nothing."

Even though Zhou Chen had lived for so many years, he had never taken life and death lightly. For example, in order to break through to the Grandmaster level, if he had not restarted the card, he would definitely not have tried it at that time. Instead, he would have spent more time and chosen a safer breakthrough method.

Chen Pingping said: "Although some people are dead, they are still alive and live in the hearts of others."

Zhou Chen smiled casually: "That's true, just like some people are not afraid of death at all, but are afraid that no one will remember them after they die."

Chen Pingping frowned slightly. This young man always gave him a very strange feeling. The tone of his voice seemed as if he had experienced a lot, but he just looked like a very young person.

"Sir, you came to the Inspection Institute just to read the inscription?"

"more or less."

Zhou Chen did come here for the inscription. Ye Qingmei and he were not from the same world, but they were from a similar era, so Zhou Chen’s understanding of Ye Qingmei was deeper than that of anyone else in this world.

The world that Ye Qingmei dreams of is the world that most of the lower-class people dream of.

We are all born equal, and everyone is like a dragon.

Listen, how beautiful it is.

But, we can only listen and think about it. After all, we still have to live in the real world.

Chen Pingping seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked a strange question.

"Where are you from, sir?"

"North."

Chen Pingping's eyes suddenly flashed and he stared at Zhou Chen.

"Since you came from the north, you must have heard about the deeds of the fifth great master in the world, right?"

Zhou Chen smiled and nodded: "I've heard a little bit about it."

Chen Pingping continued, "It is rumored that the fifth Grandmaster in the world is a genius. On the night of the full moon on August 15, he fought with Grandmaster Ku He at the Forbidden City and destroyed countless palaces in the Northern Qi imperial palace. Twenty days ago, outside the city of Dongyi, two great swordsmen had a peak duel that lasted for three days and three nights, and the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed."

"Although this fifth Grand Master has not been seen much, the Investigation Bureau has obtained some information about him. He is about 20 years old, with a heroic appearance and a handsome appearance, just like a young master."

"hiss!"

Wang Qinian, who had been staying here all this time, took a deep breath, then looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief, digging his toes into the ground and leaning forward.

Zhou Chen smiled at Wang Qinian: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No, no, nothing. I'm just nervous."

How could he not be nervous? Chen Pingping had made it so clear. If he still couldn't hear it, then all these years of Wang Qinian's life would have been in vain.

But after guessing it, I was even more shocked. Grand Master, how could Wang have deserved to earn five taels of silver from the Grand Master.

Should I return the five taels of silver? If the Grand Master knew that I had cheated him, would he kill him with his sword?

Otherwise, let’s just run away?

The person who was even more nervous was the shadow behind Chen Pingping. His whole body was tense, and his eyes under the mask looked at Zhou Chen nervously and fearfully, his palms were already sweating.

"The Inspection Institute is indeed powerful, and Director Chen is even more powerful. He recognized me at the first sight."

"I can't say you're amazing. After all, you didn't hide your whereabouts. I just made a guess and got it right by sheer luck."

Although Chen Pingping's tone was relaxed, he did not dare to relax at all. After all, he was facing a grandmaster. Even though he was the director of the Inspection Institute, who was second only to the emperor in Qing Kingdom, he was under great pressure at this moment.

Seeing Zhou Chen's natural expression, he slowly relaxed a little.

"Two months ago, Northern Qi's secret agents hiding in Qing used various methods to investigate and collect intelligence, and finally found their way to Kyoto. The Inspection Bureau took a lot of effort to find out that they were actually looking for information about one person. I didn't understand why they were looking for this person until the Grand Master Battle of the Northern Qi Imperial Palace happened. Then I understood the reason."

"Young Master, at the tender age of twenty, has achieved the status of a supreme Grand Master. This is rare throughout the ages. No matter how much praise you receive, it is difficult to show how talented you are."

Zhou Chen smiled: "It is an honor to be praised by Dean Chen. I am not a genius, I am just lucky."

Chen Pingping took the initiative to invite him, "Sir, if you don't mind, please come in with me. I've prepared some wine for you to drink with me."

The shadow behind him was very surprised to see Chen Pingping's attitude, but when he thought of Zhou Chen's identity as a grandmaster, he felt it was normal.

Who would dare to think about becoming a grandmaster at the young age?

Zhou Chen glanced at the setting sun and politely declined.
