62. Chapter 62: Simple and Brutal



The building was packed with guests and was bustling with activity.

Ever since Mu Nanjin invited the Royal Guards and the Ministry of Rites to dinner, everyone thought that Xiaoqinglou had the support of the government and that it was safer to have fun here than anywhere else. Therefore, the number of customers increased a lot more than before.

The madam was overwhelmed and could not entertain customers immediately when they came in. She could only ask the free pimps to greet the guests.

She opened her voice and shouted to the man who was drinking at the foot of the stairs: "Bai Du, guests are coming, hurry up and greet them."

Bai Du's face darkened, he put down his wine glass and walked to the door, saying in a cold voice: "Guest, please..."

When the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites saw Bai Du's face, his eyes suddenly widened: "You are not..."

Bai Du's face darkened even more, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No."

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites stared at his face again and said, "You are..."

"No." Bai Du glared at him fiercely.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites thought of his identity and did not dare to argue with him any further: "I, we suddenly remembered that we had something to do so we did not go in."

He quickly left Xiaoqing Tower with his friends.

The Right Censor-in-Chief was puzzled: "Master Zhou, didn't you say you were going to Xiaoqing Tower for dinner? Why are you coming out again?"

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites did not bother to answer him, and turned to the Supreme Court Minister and asked, "Master Xie, do you recognize who the other person is?"

The Dali Temple Minister who had seen the 'Fifth Prince' at the birthday banquet had a serious expression on his face: "That face is clearly the Fifth Prince of David, but he doesn't admit it. I'm not sure if it's him or not, but judging from his answer, there's a 90% chance that it's him."

The Right Censor-in-Chief widened his eyes in disbelief: "The fifth prince of the Kingdom of David? Haven't they already left the Kingdom of Daqian? How come they are working as eunuchs in Xiaoqing Tower? Did you make a mistake?"

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites said: "If he is the 'Fifth Prince' of the Kingdom of David, we can find out by asking the Imperial Guards to investigate."

The next morning, Deng Xingchao received news that the 'Fifth Prince' of the David Kingdom was still in the Daqian Kingdom, and that he was working as a pimp in Xiaoqing Tower.

He was completely shocked when he heard the news.

Mu Nanjin actually caught someone in Xiaoqinglou! ? In order to prove that the story was true, he asked Mu Nanjin for questioning.

Mu Nanjin vehemently denied: "I didn't arrest him, he stayed here voluntarily."

[Although I was the one who captured him in the beginning, he later voluntarily stayed after he learned that I could help him improve his future warrior level to the level of a Martial Saint.]

[I don’t think this is a lie, hehe. 】

Deng Xingchao didn't know what to say: "Is he the real fifth prince or a fake one?"

"Of course it's the fake Fifth Prince. The real Fifth Prince's martial arts are so poor, what's the point of keeping him?"

[If Jin Beiyun can't beat others, I'll have to cover for him.]

[My goal is to have a gigolo to work for me, not to have my ancestors serve me. Only a fool would want Jin Beiyun.]

Deng Xingchao: “…”

I wonder how the Fifth Prince felt when he heard her words.

"Then why did he help you at Xiao Qing Lou and still pretend to be the Fifth Prince?"

"He felt ashamed to be a gigolo in Xiaoqing Tower, and was worried that if an old friend recognized him, he would be embarrassed to face people. But he didn't have any other fake skin to disguise himself, so he could only use the fifth prince's face temporarily, and said he would change it after he had made someone else's face."

Deng Xingchao frowned and asked, "Have you ever seen his true appearance?"

"No."

Deng Xingchao was worried and angry: "If he changes his face and runs away, or changes his face to kill people or burn things, or sneaks into the palace to assassinate the emperor, can you bear the responsibility?"

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "You make too many assumptions."

[As long as it's something I want to do, I won't worry about it so much. 】

【If you keep worrying about this and that, you will accomplish nothing. 】

[Instead of worrying about Bai Du doing something bad, it is better to think about how to prevent him from committing a crime. ]

[Humph, if he dares to do something against my will, I will beat him so hard that he won't even know who he is. The method is simple and brutal, so why think so much.]

Deng Xingchao: “…”

What else could he say? Mu Nanjin asked, "Anything else?"

"One last question, is that person really called Bai Du?"

"Bai Du is the name I gave it."

Deng Xingchao was curious: "Why do you take Baidu?"

"Because he has a lot of poison in him."

[This is to remind the troublemakers that Baidu has a lot of poison in his body. If anyone dares to come to Xiaoqinglou to cause trouble, he deserves it.]

Deng Xingchao: “…”

It's just a name, who knew you were using it to remind people! ?

I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to get sick if I continue talking to her.

"The governor wants to see you. He is waiting for you in his office now."

"Oh." Mu Nanjin turned and walked out.

[Yeah, the governor wants to see me, he must want to be alone with me. ]

Deng Xingchao rolled his eyes secretly.

The entire Jinyiwei were terrified when they saw the governor and dared not breathe. Only she was in high spirits. Let's see if she could still smile when she saw the governor.

Mu Nanjin came to the secretary's office where the governor handled official business. In addition to the governor, there was a man wearing orange brocade clothes embroidered with white flying fish.

[How come there are other people besides me? What a bummer. 】

The people in the room looked at her when they heard the sound.

The governor handed the memorial to the commander-in-chief and said, "You have just returned to the capital. Go back to your residence and have a good rest. You can see the emperor tomorrow morning."

"Yes." The commander turned and walked towards the door. When he passed by Mu Nanjin, he glanced at her coldly.

[Hey, I guess I saw it right, he seemed to glare at me? Why did he glare at me, do we know each other? ]

The commander-in-chief quickened his pace and left.

The governor looked at the departing figure of the deputy commander and pointed to the basin and towel on the table and said to Mu Nanjin: "You have one hour to clean this place."

【What?】

[You asked me to come here just to clean? Isn't this the job of a handyman? Why did you ask me to clean? ]

[Isn't he making up such a lame excuse just to look at me more? ]

Governor: “…”

"Cough cough..." The sound of the governor's cough came from the next room.

The governor frowned and said, "Why don't you get started? If you don't clean up in an hour, you won't have any food."

"Oh." Mu Nanjin picked up the towel and began to wipe the tables and chairs.

[Wow, the governor is such a man when he gets angry. ]

[The governor's hand holding the pen is really beautiful. 】

[The governor's handwriting is as majestic and powerful as his others. 】

The veins on the governor's forehead throbbed wildly, and he glared at her coldly. However, the other party always turned her back to him and did not look at him.

[Wow, the governor is looking at me, the governor is looking at me, he must be fond of me. ]

[I have to perform well and let him see my goodness. ]

[I should be more graceful when wiping the table. Very good. My posture is perfect.]

Mu Nanjin had just changed his movements when suddenly, with a squeak, the governor stood up and left the secretarial room.

[Why did he leave? Does he prefer my rough actions? ]

[The audience has left, who am I going to wipe for? I have no motivation anymore, I want to quit, if I don’t have food to eat, then I don’t have food to eat, at worst I can go home and eat.]

The governor-general next door also quickly stood up and followed him out, and came to the garden with the governor.

He couldn't help laughing: "My lord, since you think her voice is noisy, why bother calling her to make trouble for yourself."

The governor frowned and said, "Kan Chaoyan and the others have been too indulgent to her. She needs to learn a lesson."

"She suffered?" The governor laughed and said, "I think you are the one who suffered."

The governor paused for a moment, then smiled again: "That's true."

He remembered that when he first became a Jinyiwei, he once cleaned the governor's office. There were so many traps in it that he couldn't count them. He was injured by one of them once. Later, for the safety of the servants, the governor would turn off the traps when they were cleaning.

The governor is a little bit of a clean freak and doesn't allow any dust in his study.

Therefore, after each cleaning, the governor would send someone to wipe it again with a white cloth. If there was even a hint of black on the white cloth, the person cleaning would be in trouble.

"By the way, this little girl is not afraid of you at all. She even praises you in her heart. If it were someone else, they would have been scared to death."

The governor gave him a very realistic reply: "She is not afraid of me because she has the strength and does not need to be afraid of me."

The governor was slightly startled: "You mean her martial arts skills are better than yours?"

“It’s hard to say.”

The governor had heard Kan Chao report that Mu Nanjin had fought Tian Yuan to a draw.

He had met Tian Yuan, and he was indeed an unfathomable person. If Mu Nanjin could not defeat Tian Yuan, his fighting power would be terrifyingly strong.

The governor looked in the direction of their secretarial office and said, "We'll know in an hour."

An hour later, the governor and his assistant returned to the secretariat.

The basin of water that was placed on the table before was still there, and the towel was casually thrown into the water, but the water was still as clean as before.

The governor-general said with a sigh, "How dare the little girl ignore your orders and leave without cleaning up? She really doesn't take you seriously."

The governor looked around the study: "She has cleaned it."

"Has it been cleaned?" The governor-general asked in surprise, "But why is the basin still here, and the water in it is clean? Did they change the water later and put it here?"

He walked to the window and checked the gaps in the corners, but there was not a speck of dust left.

No one in charge of cleaning had ever been able to do this, so how did Mu Nanjin do it? "Did she encounter the trap you set?"

The governor shook his head: "No."

The governor-general was even more surprised.

The governor fell into deep thought.

There is only one way to clean the room without touching his mechanism, and that is to use the cleaning technique.

[Wow, two pieces of meat, one vegetable and one soup, the Jinyiwei's food has finally gotten better. ]

[It’s delicious. The food made by the new chef is so delicious. I really want to knock him out and carry him home. ]

[If it really doesn't work, I will pay double the price and invite the new chef back home to be my family's chef. ]

[Uh, it seems a bit of a waste to keep it at home, so I'd better put it in Xiaoqinglou. Then I can eat delicious food and make money at the same time. I'm really smart.]

Everyone: “…”

You have the princess of the Dachen Kingdom as your top concubine, and then you kidnapped the Poison Master of the Dawei Kingdom as your bodyguard. Now you want to bribe their chef. You are so shameless.

【ah--】

Mu Nanjin suddenly screamed in his heart.

All the Jinyiwei above the sixth rank were frightened by her.

Captain Liu, who was eating, bit his tongue and said, "This damn girl is so jumpy again, making it difficult for us to eat peacefully. She better have something important to do, otherwise I'm really going to beat her up."

【I remember now.】

[I know who the guy in the orange flying fish suit I met at the Metropolitan Academy was. He...]

Captain Liu, who was far away in Zuowen Academy, was startled. He stood up quickly and rushed out of Zuoyuan as fast as he could. He used his inner strength to shout loudly: "Mu-Nan-Jin--"

The cafeteria building shook slightly due to the sound waves.

Mu Nanjin's hand trembled and the meat in his hand fell onto the table.

[I am going to die, shouting so loudly. 】

[Why is this troublemaker looking for me again? Can't he just let me have a peaceful meal? ]

“…”

Who can't let whom have a peaceful meal? Captain Liu rushed to the cafeteria: "Mu Nanjin, do you still remember that you had to deliver food to the cell?"

[I thought he had something important to tell her before he rushed over, but he only told her to deliver food. It turns out he has a lot of shit to do. ]

"Got it. I'll deliver the food after I finish eating."

Mu Nanjin ate his meal slowly.

[What was I just thinking about...]

"you……"

Captain Liu was about to stop her from thinking further, but he heard what she said in her heart.

[Oh, I remember now, the governor has a nice figure. ]

“…”

Captain Liu's words were stuck in his throat.

Her mind works really fast.

He can hardly keep up.

[Even through his clothes, I can feel that his chest muscles are stronger than those of the secret guards. Just thinking about it makes me want to eat.]

Mu Nanjin took two big mouthfuls of rice.

[And his buttocks, oh, it's as round and perky as a peach. ]

Everyone: “…”

They will never be able to look Taozi in the eye again.

The governor's face had turned black, with a hint of murderous intent.

"I think..."

Captain Liu tried to interrupt Mu Nanjin: "It's better for you to deliver the food now."

He was thinking about her life. If he continued thinking about it, she might not live past the age of sixteen.

[If you don’t let me eat, I’ll eat in jail. ]

Mu Nanjin picked up her meal and left the cafeteria.

Captain Liu exhaled: "I am doing this for your own good, and you still blame me. You will know how good I am to you in the future."

Mu Nanjin came to the cell and ate while watching the jailer bring him food.

It was the first time for the jailer to see someone bring food to the prison to eat: "Girl, don't you mind that it's dirty here?"

Mu Nanjin asked them back: "Which part is dirty?"

jailer:"……"

The place is filled with the smell of blood or the prisoners' feces. Not to mention the sight, even the smell is disgusting and I want to vomit out the food I hadn't eaten the previous night.

She was so good that she even brought food here to eat.

Little did they know that Mu Nanjin had sealed his sense of smell, leaving only his sense of taste to eat.

The two jailers were only responsible for delivering food to the front as before, and were unwilling to go in with Mu Nanjin to the back.

Mu Nanjin just finished his meal and said, "Okay, all of you go down, I'll take care of the rest."

At that moment, eerie laughter came from the innermost cell, which was creepy.

“Ahh—”

The two jailers screamed as if they had seen a ghost and rushed out of the cell.

Mu Nanjin pushed the cart to the cell door: "It's time to eat."

A gloomy male voice came from the last cell: "Little girl, it's you again, shouldn't you be dead?"

Explanation: In the first chapter, it was mentioned that the Minister of Rites had a mysophobia. This Minister of Rites was the Left Minister of Rites. The one who liked to visit Xiaoqing Tower was the Right Minister of Rites. From now on, he will be referred to as the Right Minister of Rites.
