Zhou Zhilu and Ling Qingxue below were stunned. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Apart from a few words at the beginning, they didn't have any chance to interrupt. Ling Qingxue only said two words from beginning to end!
When he saw the Wu Hou Lord approaching, Zhou Zhilu hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Wu Hou Lord, for your help."
Lord Wu Hou laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, no no, it was Tu Qing who asked me to come here. He told me that you guys did a great job, and I'm very happy to see the people over there suffer."
"The people over there?" Zhou Zhilu asked in confusion.
However, Lord Wu Hou didn't explain. Instead, he patted Zhou Zhilu on the shoulder and teased, "Not bad, young man. What I admire most is people like you who are...thick-skinned. Unlike my kid, his face turns red when he pretends, like a monkey's butt!"
No matter how shameless Zhou Zhilu was, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.
Fortunately, Lord Wu Hou did not praise him any more, but gave Zhou Zhilu a jade pendant and told him to go to Wu Hou Mansion to find him if he had any problems.
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Zhilu and Ling Qingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
The two smiled at each other. More than ten days of sharing hardships had brought them closer together.

Ling Qingxue took out two medicine bottles and said, "This is what Qiluo gave me. He said that before the antidote is developed, these two medicines can be used to relieve the pain. This one is yours."
Zhou Zhilu took the medicine bottle and opened it. He saw one bottle of black pills and the other bottle of red pills. He asked, "Is this medicine reliable? What are they used for?"
Ling Qingxue explained: "After taking the black pill, you will spit out a lot of blood without damaging your body. The red pill can quickly replenish blood and energy in a short period of time."
“…”
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but exclaimed angrily, "Isn't this too hardcore?! Relying on vomiting blood to recover blood to print the toxin?"
…
After bidding farewell to Ling Qingxue, Zhou Zhilu and Yun Li met at Tianxiang Pavilion.
"Lord Wu Hou? So that's how it is. No wonder." Yun Li suddenly realized after hearing Zhou Zhilu's account of the trial process.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhilu quickly filled Yun Li's glass with wine and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."
Yun Li said in surprise, "Brother Zhou, don't you know about the struggle between civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty?"
