After many twists and turns, Zhou Huaiyan reached the top floor. Ah Fei followed closely behind him and walked into a room at the corner.

The elegant room was decorated with landscape paintings and calligraphy all around, and in the middle was a white jade table filled with a dazzling array of desserts and delicacies.

Through the screen, the melodious sound of the pipa came out.

Zhou Huaiyan was not shy at all. He found a seat and sat down, then slowly poured himself a glass of wine.

But just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly remembered that he had bitten the inner wall of his mouth this morning in order to create the visual effect of vomiting blood. If he drank at this time...

Zhou Huaiyan had no choice but to let it go with regret.

"Here, I ordered for you."

He licked the side wall unconsciously and pushed the hot milk tea towards Ah Fei. To be honest, the kitten has been hungry all day since this morning.

"If you want to eat anything else, just take it yourself."

——I ordered it for you

Ah Fei heard the previous sentence.

He was stunned, and the joy in his eyes suddenly flowed out like honey.

Even though he had been hungry for a long time, he did not touch the other things on the table. He just carefully took the pot of hot milk tea into his arms, as if he had found a treasure.

The aroma of milk mixed with the fragrance of tea is very tempting.

Ah Fei was sipping her hot milk tea when she suddenly saw a graceful figure approaching from behind the screen embroidered with Ya Lan's tattoo.

Three parts charming, seven parts fragrant.

【It turns out the owner likes this. 】

Xiao Mao was slightly startled, and the hand holding the milk tea tightened a little. He looked at his flat chest, and suddenly lowered his head in despair.

"Mr. Zhou, why did you change into a little guy today?"

A charming woman came out holding a pipa, wearing a emerald dress with a jade pendant around her waist. The sound of her pendants jingled, making a melodious and pleasant sound.

Zhou Huaiyan smiled, reached out and touched Ah Fei's head, and said half-jokingly,

"How's my new kitten?"

"oh?"

Jin Cui raised her eyebrows slightly, walked closer holding the pipa, and seemed to reach out to lift Ah Fei's chin.

But before he could touch it, the kitten quickly hid behind Zhou Huaiyan, its beautiful emerald eyes filled with vigilance and rejection.

"The young master's cat is quite alert."

Zhou Huaiyan felt as if he had been praised and could not help but feel proud.

"That's natural."

The woman put down the pipa in her arms and put her hands on the young man's shoulders. She leaned on Zhou Huaiyan's shoulders like a beautiful snake.

"Sir, do you have no intention of doing anything else when you come here?"

The soft and boneless little hands drew circles on his chest.

Ah Fei stared at the woman's hand, her cheeks puffed with anger. She was like a cat seeing a snake, wishing she could rush up and bite it the next second.

But he looked at Zhou Huaiyan again and found that his master had no intention of refusing. The kitten suddenly lost his temper, hung his head, and stood behind the young man with a wronged look on his face.

The woman had a gorgeous appearance and a graceful green dress, which looked a perfect match with Zhou Huaiyan's dark green robe.

Ah Fei had never felt that a woman wearing a green dress was so dazzling.

Zhou Huaiyan glanced out the window casually, and gently stroked the woman's face with his fingers.

"Of course I came for you."

He waved his hand, his tone seemed a little impatient.

"A Fei, go and close the window."

【Close the window? ! 】

Kitten shocked

But he had to obey his master, so even though he was reluctant, he still ran to close the window with tears in his eyes.

However, the moment the window was closed, Ah Fei suddenly frowned.

——Someone outside is watching here.

【assassin?】

"host......"

Ah Fei wanted to tell his master what he saw immediately. But when he turned around, he saw the woman hooking the young man's belt and slowly leading him into the inner room.

She hooks her master's belt!!!

【Shameless! 】

【Shameless! 】

【Shameless! 】

The kitten was shocked, angry and sad.

He ran over in a hurry, as if he had thought of something, and had to stop two meters away from the young man.

"Owner......"

Zhou Huaiyan heard the kitten sobbing and turned around subconsciously, only to see Ah Fei looking at him helplessly, looking like she was about to cry.

The young man wanted to go back, but Jin Cui grabbed him by the neck.

"I have some serious business to discuss with this gentleman. If you are bored waiting, I can find some pretty girls to play with you."

Ah Fei didn't listen to her, she just stared at Zhou Huaiyan. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to burst out.

Jincui leaned close to the young man's ear and said in a very ambiguous manner,

"Master, we have found out about the Municipal Office."

The boy immediately coughed lightly.

"A Fei, wait for me here."

Cat shockjpg.

Jin Cui smiled coquettishly, hooked her arm around the young man's neck and went into the inner room. After closing the door, the woman's expression immediately changed.

"Why did the master bring a foreigner here?"

Zhou Huaiyan leaned on the couch carelessly.

"I'm not sure whether it's credible or not."

He propped his chin up with one hand, and seemed to remember the kitten's look of wanting to cry but not wanting to, and couldn't help licking the wound on the inside corner of his lip.

“——But it’s really cute.”

Jin Cui: “…”

The master's taste is indeed special.

The young man changed the subject.

"What did the Municipal Office say?"

Jin Cui immediately said seriously,

"Wang Hengyu, the illegitimate son of Wang Peizhi, the prefect of Yanzhou, was the one who changed the route of the slave carriage without authorization that day, which led to the collision with Your Highness."

"Well, the Wang family of Yanzhou is the maternal family of the Third Brother."

Zhou Huaiyan remembered that the Wang family claimed to be royal relatives, but they had done many shameful and dirty things in Yanzhou, and the emperor had long been fed up with it.

The boy thought about it.

"Wang Hengyu doesn't have the guts, and neither does the Third Emperor. So there must be something fishy going on."

Jincui nodded.

"Master, what you said is absolutely true. A month ago, a man who claimed to be a master of heaven appeared beside the Third Prince, but he has disappeared since the assassination."

At this point, the woman bowed her head in shame.

"Well, I failed in my duty and failed to find out where that master came from."

Zhou Huaiyan found it very interesting.

"He was able to mobilize spies from foreign races hidden in the capital, and he was able to use the third prince as a murder weapon..."

The boy narrowed his eyes.

"You really have great connections."

Whether it was the assassination of the prince or the Duke of Wei, even if Wang Hengyu was just a bastard, the entire Wang family would be finished.

At that time, Yanzhou, known as the granary of the Great Zhou Dynasty, would naturally have to be controlled by a new governor. As for who would be replaced, there would be a lot of things to consider.

Zhou Huaiyan did not dare to make a hasty conclusion about the person who instigated the assassination of the Third Prince. But if someone said that the Emperor was not aware of the matter, he would not believe a word.

All I can say is that his father was a smart one, and he turned the opponent's good cards into his own trump card.

An assassination put my uncle in the spotlight.

The third prince who had the best chance of becoming the heir had his wings clipped.

He also quietly changed the ownership of the Yanzhou granary in order to control the northern border.

"Tsk, the emperor's mind."

The boy couldn't help but sigh.

The game between the emperor and the ghost, it turns out that Zhou Huaiyan is just a bait. I just don't know what the ghost behind the third prince is up to. Thinking of this, he suddenly stretched out his hand,

"Feel my pulse."

"Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Jin Cui put her hand on his wrist and thought for a moment.

"The master's pulse seems to be stronger than before, and I can't feel anything unusual."

Zhou Huaiyan lowered his eyes and smiled softly.

"To be strong is to be different."

He had been taking medicine for nearly ten years but his condition had not improved. How come after an assassination attempt, his sickly body became strong again?

Zhou Huaiyan pondered for a moment and stood up.

"Well, now that I have almost finished my investigation, I will go back."

Jin Cui was stunned, but saw Zhou Huaiyan suddenly turned around again.

"Oh, yes. In a month or half a month, the Wang family should be wiped out. Remember to find someone to monitor Yanzhou's movements in advance. Maybe we can catch the devil soon."

"......"

——Why was the entire Wang family executed?

"Master, won't you stay a little longer?"

Jin Cui hesitated. After all, it was only a quarter of an hour since the master came in. Such a short time... might be a disgrace to his reputation.

Zhou Huaiyan didn't care at all. He waved his hand.

"My cat is waiting outside and may even cry and cling to the wall soon."

Jin Cui: “…”

It was over. She began to not understand what her master was saying again.

When I came out, the kitten was hugging the pot of hot milk tea, huddled in a corner and crying. It looked like it had been abandoned by its owner and had been drenched in the rain and had no place to go.

Ah Fei held the milk bottle and cried.

The master came to the brothel in the middle of the night, so anxious, he must be obsessed with that woman, maybe today, he will be replaced by that graceful woman. He may even be thrown into an iron cage and locked up with those insane foreigners.

Zhou Huaiyan walked over, squatted down, stretched out his hand and poked the kitten's forehead, thinking it was funny.

"Why are you crying?"

"......"

The little cat was stunned by the poking. With red eyes, he stared at Zhou Huaiyan blankly. After a long pause, he spoke

"Okay...faster..."

Zhou Huaiyan: “.......?”

Because the subject matter is a bit sensitive (slavery and hermaphroditism, etc.), it needs to be revised and will be updated on the 28th.
