Chapter 695: Zhang Ronghua’s Viciousness

He sized him up and found that he was very similar to Pei Caicai, at 80%. They were almost the same mold. He was handsome, had a bright smile, and carried confidence.

“Haoran, right?” asked Zhang Ronghua. “It’s me!”

“Just as Uncle Pei said, he’s a talented man.”

“Compared to Brother Hua, I’m still far from it.” Pei Haoran stretched out his palm and pointed inside.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Ronghua said.

After entering the courtyard, they walked towards the inner courtyard. Pei Haoran knew how to behave. He took a step forward, pushed open the door, and made way for them. He waited for them to enter before following them.

In the hall.

Pei Caihua had already made tea. He pointed at the chair.

He poured three cups and handed them over.” I’ve heard about the Ministry of Works. You’ve done well!” he said. It’s not like being passively beaten up all the time and occasionally showing off your sharpness that others will be afraid of!”

Zhang Ronghua said,” If you want to do something, you need someone. The people below are not united. They act one way on the surface and another behind the scenes. They specialize in playing tricks. In other words, they obtain new results and steal them later. The one who loses is themselves.”

“Yes.” Pei Caihua nodded in agreement.

“What’s wrong with Fu Kun?”

Zhang Ronghua was also puzzled and immediately asked the question in his heart.

After listening.

Pei Caihua pondered. He thought about the major events that had happened in the capital recently. Everything was normal. This was strange. They were not from the same faction, but they supported him for no reason. Could there be some secret behind it?

He suddenly thought of the Prophecy Pavilion.

If he could do what Qing Lin said and increase the power of the materials, weapons, armor, and feys of the Spirit Research Department by one-third, Fu Kun’s qualifications would be rich, and he would be able to become a popular candidate for the Prophecy Pavilion!

It was already too late to fight for Grand Secretary Cui’s position. There was no time. He needed to build up the momentum and prepare in advance. If he fought in a hurry, there was a 90% chance that he would fail. With his intelligence, he wouldn’t do that.

There were only four spots left. Could it be that someone among the remaining people was going to leave? He said what he was thinking.

After listening.

It’s highly possible,” Zhang Ronghua said in a deep voice.” One of the four elders should be in poor health. The news is tightly sealed. He received the news in advance. This explains everything.”

Pei Caihua smiled and stroked his beard. “It’s very difficult for him to enter the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, but you’re different. After refining these things, you can take another step forward and cross the threshold of the third grade, increasing your influence in the imperial court.”

Zhang Ronghua smiled.” Haoran came at the right time. With this qualification, he will be promoted in a short time.” “Thank you, Brother Hua!”

The official business was over.

“It’s getting late. Ping Bo and the others are still waiting. Let’s go!” Pei Caihua said.

He stood up and said goodbye.

The three of them left the study and walked out.

When they arrived at the front yard, Mrs. Pei was welcomed. She still had her charm and carried a noble aura. She had taken good care of herself.

Pei Haoran smiled and introduced them to each other,”This is my mother!” This is Brother Hua, and this is Brother Ding!”

“Hello, Auntie!” Zhang Ronghua greeted.

Madam Pei sized them up. They had an extraordinary demeanor and each had their own bearing. She smiled and said,” I’ve heard your Uncle Pei mention it many times. Now that I’ve seen him today, he’s even more conservative. He’s even more handsome than he says.”

“Uncle Pei is too kind.”

“When you take a break, I’ll cook personally and let you taste my cooking.”

“Definitely! ”

After chatting for a while, they parted ways.

They left the residence.

Pei Haoran got Pei Xingzhou to bring a group of guards with him while he boarded Ding Yi’s carriage.

On the other side.

Ren Shangxuan died mysteriously, and no one survived, including the guards.

The officials put pressure on the court, and His Majesty ordered the True Dragon Palace and the Red Heaven Palace to investigate the matter together, find the mastermind, and eliminate the evil cultivators, demons, and ghosts hiding in the capital.

He had completed the mission in Wangtian County and killed more than ten thousand enemy soldiers. Although he had the help of the Flame Thunder Pearl, Xu Xing’s contribution was indelible. After he returned, he was promoted to a higher rank and was promoted to the Violet Angel. Just as he was about to hold a banquet and call his good friends for a gathering, the higher-ups transferred him over to join the investigation team.

Xu Xing received the order and did not act with everyone. He brought his trusted aides and used some time to figure out the people who attended the banquet that night and obtained the specific name list. According to the people on the name list, he went over one by one and asked seriously, wanting to find clues from the subtleties.

They spent half a day interrogating all of them, but they still had no clue. It was as if Ren Shangxuan’s death was just an accident and he had been struck by lightning. But what about the top-notch spiritual treasure that had appeared in the Nine Heavens? Why would it appear at the place of death? If it was a coincidence, there must be something fishy.

Calming down, he recalled their confessions and searched for loopholes. Just as he was about to give up, he remembered what they had said. Before Ren Shangxuan left, he met Zhao Chengjie alone. The time was very short, less than a minute. He did not pay much attention to it before, but now that he thought about it, one minute seemed very short, but in fact, many things could be done.

If Zhao Chengjie had given this thunder-attributed spiritual treasure to Ren Shangxuan, and it had been raining heavily that night, the thunderbolts would not stop. Whether it was on the way back or in the residence, as long as he pulled it out, the thunder-attributed spiritual treasure contained in the sword would leak. It would be fine for a short period of time, but if he played with it for a long time, it would attract the thunderbolts from the sky and destroy them. It was completely reasonable.

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Xing felt that his guess was correct. He did not dare to delay, afraid that an unforeseen event would occur. He hurriedly brought his trusted aide and rushed towards the Zhao Manor.

Even though he moved quickly, he still underestimated Zhao Chengjie’s reaction.

These two days.

For some reason, the True Dragon Palace and the Red Heaven Palace had joined hands. Zhao Chengjie had a bad feeling as if something big was going to happen. In their line of work, they trusted their intuition very much. They guessed that the two departments might find him. After thinking about it, they seized every second. Before they found him, they had to set up a plan at all costs. They had buried the chess piece and handed it to their superiors. They wanted to escape from the capital according to the plan they had prepared in advance. As soon as they left the mansion through the secret passage, they saw the people of the Red Heaven Palace arrive from afar. They surrounded the mansion and were shocked. They did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left with their guards..
