Chapter 017 Chapter 17
The minor official was dragged out of the hall with screams. Xia Zhang lazily looked at the people kneeling below.
His handsome face was full of smiles, but none of the officials kneeling below were not afraid.
They were wrong, they thought... their Majesty had changed, but now it seems that he is still the same Majesty, the one who would kill people if he disagreed with someone.
As the screams outside rang out, the sounds of blood gushing out and heads rolling, these sounds beat against the hearts of those present, as if they had returned to the time when His Majesty had just ascended the throne.
At that time, because His Majesty was too cruel and slaughtered his relatives, causing the extinction of all his direct bloodline, the court officials threatened to die as a warning and forced His Majesty to abdicate, shouting that His Majesty was not a benevolent monarch. At that time, the palace was really filled with blood...
Except for those who were quick to kneel down for the sake of heroes, those who relied on their seniority and hoped to use their reputation to control His Majesty were all chopped off one by one by His Majesty with a knife...
The blood of that day dyed the land that was being fought over for the palace red...
They still remember the smile of His Majesty when he killed people, the smile was one of satisfaction, happiness and joy.
That's why he was called a tyrant...
Xia Zhang's good mood these days made these people relax a little, thinking that His Majesty had changed, but the result... well, they were too naive and got carried away.
Xia Zhang propped up his face and looked down and said, "Don't let me hear bad things about the national teacher, otherwise... go down and let your ancestors teach you what to say and what not to say."
What could the court officials say? Of course they could only agree, otherwise how could they go to see the ancestor?
After wiping the cold sweat from their heads, they finally made it through the morning court session.
In fact, Xia Zhang, who had no concubine in the harem, let out a sigh of relief. The bloody scene outside the palace made him feel much happier.
On Cheng Yishu's side, he looked at the cats that were sent over and crossed his legs to eat the cats' melons.
The man who brought the first cat snorted angrily and said, "It's better to castrate it!"
Cheng Yishu looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. The man held his chest and sobbed, saying, "I was wondering why my baby had a cub. It turned out to be this bastard. Not only did he not raise the cub, but he also ate my baby's food! A freeloader!"
Cheng Yishu pursed his lips and said, "He... not only eats the soft rice of your baby, but also the one next door to your house..."
The man was struck by lightning. He pointed at the scumbag cat and opened his mouth. The scumbag cat lay there with dull eyes, tongue sticking out, and a humming sound coming from its throat.
The eunuch who was treating the wound looked at the kitten curiously and asked, "What is it saying?"
Cheng Yishu looked at him with an unfathomable expression and said, "After I help you, I'll give you money. You prepare some food and put it outside..."
The eunuch became even more curious. Cheng Yishu sighed and drank a sip of tea and said, "He was scolding you, and his words were quite dirty..."
Because the anesthetic effect had not worn off yet, the kitten was still cursing instinctively and slowly shed a tear as he looked at the thing next to him.
Little white sister... Little black sister... Three-flowered sister... I am sorry for you. This group of cunning and hateful humans has ruined my happiness in the second half of my life...
After a while, the second person who delivered cats came over. Because the notice at the Imperial Master's Office stated that they wanted cats that were not harmed and would provide them with free examinations, all the cats delivered were in good condition.
It's not that there weren't some people who had bad intentions, but they were afraid that Cheng Yishu wouldn't give them money because the cat was injured. Besides, there were many stray cats, and they were also wary.
They would never approach anyone who might hurt them, and now that they didn't have any tools to capture them, they couldn't catch them on their own.
For a man like him, the reason he was able to catch this cat was because this male cat played with his baby today.
Speaking of this, Cheng Yishu felt that people of this era were quite good. Just like in the Song Dynasty, if you wanted to keep someone else's cat, you had to hire a prostitute.
The same applies to wild cats giving birth, and harming cats for no reason can result in imprisonment.
This is thanks to the queen of the founding emperor, who loved small animals.
After Xia Zhang came to power, he changed a lot of rules, but he did not change this rule, and even added a rule that those who were caught breaking the rules would be fined.
Therefore, most people, when they see cats and dogs, as long as they are not dangerous, will pretend not to see them.
People in Beijing are relatively wealthy, so those who like small animals will feed them.
Many families also keep cats to solve the problem of rat infestation, especially those who read books, who hate rats that damage their books.
Compared with the damage to my own books, it is more cost-effective to keep a cat.
This resulted in a lot of people coming into the mansion after a while.
The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead and remembered the reward given by Cheng Yishu. He decided to give it a try!
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you cut it for a human or a cat, at least cats are cute~
The eunuch who was laughing happily had no idea how perverted he seemed in the eyes of others.
As the male cats' eggs were smashed, Cheng Yishu's points rose rapidly.
Cheng Yishu was so happy, but he had to keep calm. He looked at the cats with satisfaction. He decided that he would lick all the male cats in Beijing.
As for the female cats? They can be sterilized as well... maybe... he can add a pet sterilization shop?
There are still many dignitaries in the capital. Some of them who have pets give their little babies the best things.
When the time comes, let's publicize it. Isn't that money? Wouldn't it be better to use this money to provide protection for stray kittens?
Cheng Yishu gave himself a thumbs up, while Bai Xiao, who was watching from the side, was silent. Why did he feel...
Will their Imperial Master's Mansion be captured by the cat army soon?
He looked at the cats that were patting, lying down and sticking out their tongues, and he decided to ignore them.
Well, I have to say this guy's craftsmanship is really good. After becoming proficient, he can make one in a while...
Bai Xiao looked at the lower bodies of the other men. What should I say? If animals can be treated this way, what about humans?
The men who came felt a chill in their lower bodies, and they watched the eunuch's skillful methods in silence.
Feeling the same way, I closed my eyes, hugged my beloved cat and wanted to turn around and leave, but then I thought of what Cheng Yishu had just said.
He stroked his cat's head and brainwashed himself: "Dad is doing this for your own good. You see, Dad only has one wife and hasn't found another one. As our cat, it's too much for you to have three wives and four concubines. You can't have what Dad doesn't have, otherwise other little female cats will come to me with big bellies and you'll tell me whether Dad should keep them or not. So, it's better to castrate them."
The woman who just came over heard this, and she pinched her ear and turned 180 degrees and said, "What do you mean? You're at a disadvantage by marrying me, right? Do you believe it or not, you will become rich together with Heidan today?"
The man immediately begged for mercy, and Cheng Yishu just watched quietly.
After a while, a girl with a cold temperament walked in. Looking at the person, Cheng Yishu raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence?
Yin Yingying?
[Yin Yingying also brought her cat? It really comes without any effort...]
Yin Yingying raised her head and looked around. She approached the maid who came with her and said, "Did you hear any noise just now?"
The maid immediately shook her head and said, "No, ma'am."
Yin Yingying put away the vigilance in her eyes, lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Zhou Yanli's expression hasn't been right these past few days. I always feel like he knows something. However, his attitude remains the same as always, and he's even nicer to her. The cat in her arms was given to her by him, saying it would help her relieve her boredom, but she likes it too.
As for why she came to the Imperial Master's Mansion, she was not quite sure. Her intuition told her that she should come over.
Her intuition had saved her many times, when her house was searched, when she was sold, and when she met Zhou Yanli.
She knew everything about Zhou Yanli and Song Xi. When Zhou Yanli was about to take part in the Spring Examination, Song Xi had imagined that the scholar was repaying her kindness and said that she had specially left something for Zhou Yanli.
She sneered at the time. After all, there were so many people taking the Spring Examination, how could she know that Zhou Yanli could do it?
As a result... Zhou Yanli really did succeed, but Yin Yingying sneered and said that after he succeeded, he would be hers.
She didn't want to steal Song Xi's things, but she had to survive. If Song Xi's family had not been unwilling to help, how could her family have fallen into such a state, and how could she have been sold into a brothel.
Fortunately, Zhou Yanli met her at that time, and she had noticed Zhou Yanli's appearance, so she successfully pretended to be Zhou Yanli's savior.
She admitted that she was vicious, but she had no regrets and she just wanted to live a better life.
Cheng Yishu admired her very much. After all, Yin Yingying had only one goal and was working hard to achieve it.
[It's dark? Zhou Yanli is dark? 】
Cheng Yishu looked at the red line on Yin Yingying's wrist. The red line had gradually turned black and had a faint chain shape.
Yin Yingying raised her head and looked around. She always felt that someone was watching her. Although she didn't know whose eyes they were, but... this feeling made her a little curious.
There was no malice in this gaze, it seemed to be just pure curiosity, and it seemed to belong to the same owner as the voice she heard.
Yin Yingying was very smart. She lowered her head slightly and pretended to tidy up her clothes, looking in the direction she felt. When she raised her head, a cold, handsome and extraordinary man appeared in front of her.
She quickly lowered her head. She knew that there was no way a man with such an immortal appearance would be attracted to her. She had some self-awareness on this point.
Maybe he's just simply curious...
Thinking of this, Yin Yingying relaxed a lot. She had to go back after checking her cat. Today she would make something delicious for Zhou Yanli, as she always felt that there was something wrong with him these days.
Cheng Yishu blinked and looked away. He really couldn't tell that Zhou Yanli had such a strong possessiveness that he even darkened...
This made Cheng Yishu start to think, should he change the demolition method?
After all, at this point, even if Yin Yingying wanted to separate from Zhou Yanli, Zhou Yanli would not agree.
There's no telling what he might do.
According to the law of double death, if these two people are really gone, then his order will fail.
Looking at another ongoing task, he turned to the system cat and asked, "Baby, turn off the automatic order acceptance."
He earned a lot of mission points today. Don’t underestimate the small size of the cat. Their love, hatred and vengeance are also a big drama.
He solved the evil directly from the source, which also led to the direct success of the mission.
So he completed a lot of quest points today, and the eunuch in charge of feeding eggs to cats was also extremely tired.
However, although he was tired, he was happy. Looking at these kittens lying there with their tongues hanging out, with his trophies placed beside them, he had a strange sense of satisfaction.
Yin Yingying stared at it intently, and suddenly she had an idea...
She touched her belly. If she was pregnant, and she turned Zhou Yanli into a eunuch, her child would be the only heir of the Zhou family. All Song Xi's money would become her son's, and she would then become his second wife.
Now, the reason why she still has no official status is partly because Zhou Yanli still needs the help of the Song family, and partly because the Zhou family has a rule that one can take a concubine only if he is 30 years old and childless.
So Zhou Yanli gave himself drugs to make himself temporarily infertile, and that was why Song Xi did not get pregnant.
Later, when the medicine expired, Song Xi said that she was the one who saved Zhou Yanli. Zhou Yanli felt that she had forced him to marry her, and regardless of his wishes, he was arrested and separated from Yin Yingying.
He knew that Yin Yingying had saved him, but he concealed the truth and took the position himself.
He hated Song Xi so much that he never stayed with her again.
Cheng Yishu seemed to be speechless about the entanglement between these three people. He was ready to go and see what kind of person Song Xi was.
I'll let Bai Xiao send a letter to Guimianlou later and ask them to investigate what's going on.
Although she appears in the stories of both Yin Yingying and Zhou Yanli, the memories of these two people are obviously unreliable. After all, Song Xi in their memories is completely different.
Mr. Yue here finished his busy day. After taking all the kittens that had recovered from the surgery except the wild cat back home, he looked at the kittens happily and said, "I'll deduct their food from my salary today~"
Cheng Yishu looked at Xiao Yuezi, waved his hand and said, "It's not good to ask you to help with the work and not charge you."
He found a discounted cat food in the discount area. The system believed that the products must be high-quality and the nutrition in this cat food was very uniform, so he bought a lot. These kittens had transferred so many points to him and they couldn't have babies yet, so he just wanted to give them some supplements.
Before the palace gates were locked, eunuch Xiao Yuezi rushed back with a stack of silver bills, while Cheng Yishu spent his points to upgrade the functions of the four books, including the breeding function.
This template consumes a lot, but it is the same, which can save time and improve efficiency.
After all, although there are a lot of things in the book, it is also troublesome and needs to be practiced bit by bit.
Sishu has loaded the breeding function, so he can give some suggestions and identify the problems, making it easier for his little pigs and grains to grow up.
