Gong Jiu didn’t understand who Bu Zao was referring to by “the people from the court” until the fourth day after arriving in Bianjing.

The leader of the Salted Fish Sect and the owner of the Wanwu Building attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered Bianjing. Gong Jiu didn’t want to attract attention, but the master and disciple were unwilling to take off their masks. They were the brightest in the crowd.

The people of the Shenhou Mansion soon learned of their arrival. On the second day after entering the capital, the people of the Shenhou Mansion met with the two of them.

Although they had long guessed that the Prince of Taiping might leave the capital to go to the Salted Fish Sect, they still had to admit that he was incredibly efficient and brought the leader of the Salted Fish Sect and Chongming to Bianjing together.

Only Leng Xue had come into direct contact with the masked leader. Before meeting the leader, Zhui Ming relied on guesswork to match the figures of "Xiao Bu, the noodle seller" and "the leader of the Salted Fish Sect"

that he had seen. The green mountains were towering and the blue lake was rippling. Wu Qing was pushed in a wheelchair by Zhui Ming to see the two people he was going to meet this time.

The strange smiling mask of the leader of the Salted Fish Sect was even more eye-catching than Chong Ming's half silver mask. The two brothers gradually approached, and the eyes behind the mask kept staring at the two people, without any emotion.

In fact, it was quite surprising that it was the master and apprentice of the Salted Fish Sect who took the initiative to propose a meeting. The two sides met here under the connection of the Prince of Taiping.

Wu Qing greeted Chong Ming: "Master Chong Ming, long time no see."

Chong Ming looked at him without speaking, as cold as ever.

But Wuqing could sense that the cold aura that had been lingering around him had dissipated a little, and Chongming's eyes were calm and peaceful.

"Should I call you Xiaobu or Master Bu?" Zhuiming's voice was very brisk, with a hint of tentativeness.

Master Bu said, "It's up to you. I don't care." It

was their first meeting - or not really their first. In short, their meeting was quite peaceful. It seemed that the Master of the Salted Fish Sect had invited them to meet just to reassure them.

"The cold-blooded captain used to take care of Wudu." The head of the sect said, "I don't want you to have too many misunderstandings about me, so I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help you meet here."

The head of the sect was very reassuring. Even Chongming didn't act like he did when they first met. The attitude of the master and apprentice was very correct, which surprised Wuqing and Zhui Ming.

But it is better to talk nicely than to be unkind. Both sides ended the discussion in a friendly manner. Before leaving, Zhui Ming invited Bu Zao to visit the Shenhou Mansion when he was free. It would be even better if Wangcai could come.

Wangcai fully played his role as a mascot. Zhui Ming and Wuqing still miss the cute and lively Wangcai.

Bu Zao was very happy. Everything he did was not in vain. The Salted Fish Sect had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in all aspects.

After meeting with the two captains of the Six Gates, Bu Zao began to arrange a meeting with someone. Gong Jiu did not have to wait long before he met the person Bu Zao mentioned.

The young man looked well-behaved and innocent, and his clothes were simple and casual. He did not look like Fang Yingkan, the most famous marquis of supernatural powers in Bianjing City.

Fang Yingkan smiled and looked at the three people in front of him, with some doubts in his eyes at the right time. He did not speak, but wisely kept silent.

The reason why he went to the appointment was because a letter appeared next to his pillow early this morning.

The letter came from Wanwulou, inviting him to meet in a restaurant. The wine house was Fang Yingkan's secret business. Even though he was doubtful, Fang Yingkan still held the letter and pondered for a long time, and came to the appointment on time.

He knew that the leader of the Salted Fish Sect and the owner of the Wanwu Building had returned to Bianjing with the Prince of Taiping, and were staying in the Taiping Palace. This made Fang Yingkan very concerned. However, the Taiping Palace was impregnable, and the three people were nowhere to be seen, making it difficult to investigate.

But even after receiving Chongming's invitation letter, Fang Yingkan did not expect that these three people would appear in front of him at the same time.

Leader Bu leaned back, his arms around his chest, and the white smiley mask was facing Fang Yingkan.

If the place was not narrow, Fang Yingkan always felt that he would lift his legs and put them on the table - the temperament exuded by the other party implied such arrogance, and Fang Yingkan was not overthinking it.

The headmaster said nothing, and Chongming immediately threw out a few pieces of paper. Gong Jiu also slowly raised his hand under the table, and Fang Yingkan realized that he was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.

Fang Yingkan reached out and pulled the paper over, his mind churning with thoughts. He picked up a piece of paper, lowered his head and glanced at it, his expression slightly stiff.

The content written on this paper is something that must not be known to outsiders. It is all evidence of Fang Yingkan's use of power and money to make money. The matter is very detailed. If the people in the court knew about it, even if it would not cause any serious injuries, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Gong Jiu put the paper in his hand on the table. Even he had to admit that Fang Yingkan made full use of his status as a

marquis of supernatural powers. Even the county magistrates and prefects in some places had good relations with him, which made things convenient for him. Fang Yingkan remained calm and flipped through the remaining papers, all of which had similar contents. Without a doubt, this was a silent threat.

Fang Yingkan raised his eyes, his gaze swept over the three people in front of him, and finally fell on the masked and most unfathomable leader of the Salted Fish Sect.

The smiling mask that originally looked a little strange now became glaring and full of disgusting smiles.

The leader of the Salted Fish Sect is undoubtedly the leader, Chongming is his eldest disciple, and it is confusing that the Prince of Taiping would travel with the two of them.

Fang Yingkan still had that innocent and naive look on his face. He slowly said, "Master, just say what you want to say. Why bother showing off your power?"

The master chuckled from behind his mask and just smiled, "How can this be called showing off your power? Young Marquis Fang has outstanding abilities. I admire him very much."

Fang Yingkan said, "In terms of outstanding abilities, no one can compare to the disciples of your sect...especially the owner of the Wanwu Tower, Chongming Tower."

"..."

To Fang Yingkan's surprise, the leader of the Salted Fish Sect paused for a moment. After a while, he said, "Of course my disciples are very capable, and Chongming is my eldest disciple, even more so." What

was even more surprising to Fang Xiaohou was that the leader of the Salted Fish Sect adjusted his mask when he said this, although his mask was worn very firmly and not crooked at all; and the owner of Wanwu Building, Chongming, turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly after secretly glancing at the leader.

The Prince of Taiping looked at the paper on the table indifferently, as if he could see a flower.

Fang Yingkan:...

He didn't think much about it, and said seriously, "The three of you came to see me together, you must have something to say, you might as well be frank, I am all ears."

Hearing what he said, Chongming threw out another stack of papers. Fang Yingkan's eyes twitched. He didn't understand why none of them planned to explain to him in person.

Is writing better than speaking?

Gong Jiu understood why. Not to mention the papers that recorded what Fang Yingkan had done, he and Fairy Yunmeng had seen the papers that Chongming threw out at this time. They were just recycled. Those who were selected by Bu Zao as partners were treated the same. Fang Yingkan looked at the papers that

Chongming threw out in silence. As he looked at them, a strange expression appeared on his face. He didn't have the innocence and immaturity that he had worn before.

He looked ambitious. When he raised his eyes, there was a flame burning in his eyes.

Gong Jiu probably understood why Bu Zao said Fang Yingkan was somewhat similar to him. The mask without any wavering was hiding a strong desire. But if he had to say who was most like who, Gong Jiu thought Fang Yingkan was more like Bu Zao.

...same acting skills.

Fang Yingkan said, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also the partner you chose?"

The head of the sect nodded, "That's true, but compared to being chosen by me, he is more like someone who came to me on his own initiative."

Gong Jiu cast a cold glance at the boastful head of the sect, but not long after he looked over, a black shadow flashed before his eyes. Gong Jiu looked over and saw Chongming retracting his sleeves, his eyes full of warnings.

"..." Gong Jiu retracted his gaze.

Chongming's change was really amazing. He seemed to have no memory of correcting his identity in front of Gong Jiu with a cold face.

But in fact, at that time, Gong Jiu felt that Chongming was being stubborn. Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

Fang Yingkan watched the confrontation between the two of them, thinking about something, while the leader leaned quietly in the chair, giving him a look without any emotion under the mask.

"Why find me?" Fang Yingkan asked.

"Because you are outstanding." The leader said, "You are ambitious."

Fang Yingkan knew that he had no right to refuse, not because of the praise and recognition of the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, but because of the evidence on the table.

He had no doubt that if he refused, the leader of the Salted Fish Sect would use these evidences to threaten him openly.

Throwing out these evidences at the beginning was already a silent threat.

Compared with the ambition of the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, his ambition was just so-so.

"Okay. I agree." Fang Yingkan said with a smile, "Can I know your name, Master?" "

My last name is Bu." The leader said, "Bu as in steps."

"Master Bu." Fang Yingkan showed that innocent and childish smile like a mask again, "Please give me more advice in the future. By the way, I really like Wangcai. Is he at home now or where?"

Wangcai is a brick, he can be moved wherever he is needed. He is a good dog to bring up topics. Fang Yingkan wanted to know how much tolerance Bu had for him - for example, whether he was willing to let him know about the Salted Fish Sect, or whether he would be willing to visit the Salted Fish Sect as a guest.

"Wangcai and Wudu are out there, so don't worry, young master. When you visit the Salted Fish Sect in the future, Wangcai will definitely be there."

Bu said kindly. He stood up, looked down, and leaned forward. The smiling mask got closer to Fang Yingkan, and under the crescent-shaped smiling eyes were eyes that were truly full of smiles.

Fang Yingkan felt vaguely that he had seen those eyes somewhere before.

Sect Master Bu only approached for a moment, then stood up and distanced himself. Chongming and Gong Jiu, who were originally sitting, also stood up. The three showed their intention to leave. Fang Yingkan did not intend to keep them. His eyes drifted to the papers on the table. Before he opened his mouth, Chongming and the Sect Master reached out and took the papers back, sorted them out and held them in his arms.

Fang Yingkan: "..."

Are you actually going to take them away?

The Sect Master said to him, "Please rest."

The tone was very much like saying "Rest in peace."

Fang Yingkan did not say much. Even if he got the news in his hands, he could not erase their memories. He smiled and watched everyone leave.

The Prince of Taiping fell last. He did not seem to play any role in this conversation, but his presence gave Fang Yingkan more things to consider.

Before leaving, the Prince of Taiping said to Fang Yingkan, "His name is Bu Zao. It means morning and evening."

Fang Yingkan was startled.

He should have heard of this name, but he didn't have a deeper impression.

Seeing Fang Yingkan lost in his memories, Gong Jiu left with satisfaction.

Sure enough, Bu Zao also wandered in front of Fang Yingkan.

...

On the way back to the Shenhou Mansion, Fang Yingkan still couldn't remember when he heard the name "Bu Zao".

He was too confused. Fang Yingkan didn't remember that he had dealt with someone named "Bu Zao". After thinking about it, he asked his subordinates after returning to the mansion.

The subordinates hesitated for a long time, and one of them said, "Before, Wangxian Tower hired a chef, who worked for about half a month and then left. The chef was called Bu Zao."

Fang Yingkan was stunned: "When did it happen?"

"Last summer." The man added, "Young Marquis, you also went to Wangxian Tower and praised the chef."

"..."

Fang Yingkan had a vague impression of it.

The chef wrapped a headscarf and smiled shyly and quietly in response to his praise. The

other party had a pair of amber eyes.

It turned out that the leader of the Salted Fish Sect appeared beside him so long ago.
