“Interesting…”

Zuo Yu showed an excited look on his face: "How about it, do you want us to help?"

Zhao Lihe quickly refused, "No, absolutely not. I want to give them confidence in practicing martial arts, not to make them despair. The things you practice are not something that martial arts students can learn, especially the radiation skills, which are too expensive and have no possibility of popularization. Although I want to build the confidence of martial arts students, I don't intend to give them hope that they can't touch."

Zuo Yu smiled and said, "Just because it can't be popularized now doesn't mean it can't be popularized in the future. Who can tell what will happen in the future? Maybe we can find a world of immortal cultivation in the near future. At that time, we can directly start a new era of spiritual energy revival and ascension, turning the Great Xia Dynasty into the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty!"

Zhao Lihe shook his head and said, "Then we'll talk about it after we find it!"

Looking at Zhao Lihe who was not moved at all, Zuo Yu said with a sigh, "You are becoming more and more like a wise ruler now!"

Zhao Lihe smiled and said, "As a ruler, you can have a long-term vision, but you must also take care of the present. This is what my elder brother taught me, and I will always remember it."

Zuo Yu raised the corner of his mouth, smiled and put the documents back on the golden plate, then stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go on a private visit and take a look around your Great Xia Dynasty."

…

…

Fu'anlou is considered a time-honored brand among the many teahouses in the capital.

Even when the royal army entered the capital and bombarded the city with cannons, Fu'anlou was not affected at all. Instead, its business became more prosperous.

It was already afternoon and the teahouse was bustling with people, some carrying bird cages, watching cockfighting and walking dogs, as well as storytellers, fortune tellers, and shouting. The owner of the teahouse was named Xu, and he took over the business from his father. He had been a waiter in his family's teahouse since he was a child, so he was eloquent and able to get along with everyone. Every time he walked around the teahouse with a cup of tea and a smile on his face, he could make the guests laugh.

Shopkeeper Xu would always address all guests, no matter they were rich or poor, as "Master" with a smile.

The regular customers reciprocated the greetings and all respected him as Master Xu.

Today, two extraordinary guests came to the teahouse.

One was a handsome young man from a wealthy family, wearing luxurious brocade clothes and holding a folding fan. He had an extraordinary temperament, but was not arrogant. It was obvious that he had received an extremely good education.

The other was a heroic young man in a blue shirt, a little older, but handsome, and walked with great vigor, and it was obvious at first glance that he was no ordinary person.

When ordinary people saw the combination of these two people, they might just think that they were rich young men traveling together, but Master Xu had a sharp eye. He noticed the red eyes of the handsome young man at first sight and immediately guessed that it was caused by practicing martial arts.

The skills that can cause changes in the body must be the peerless magical skills bestowed by Your Majesty.

Therefore, these two gentlemen are definitely not just rich young men, they may even be important officials in the court.

Mr. Xu had relatives on duty at the imperial palace, and he knew that this court was very young. Even a young man of the same age as his unfilial son could sit in the court and decide the future of the dynasty together with His Majesty.

With this guess, Mr. Xu immediately picked up the teacup and walked over with a smile.

"You two look unfamiliar. Is this your first time at Fu'an Building?"

"yes."

The handsome young man smiled and responded, then looked at him for a few times and suddenly smiled and said, "You are the shopkeeper, Master Xu, right?"

Mr. Xu was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that the other party would recognize him.

The handsome young man smiled and explained, "I had heard of Master Xu's name before I came here. When I saw him in person, I immediately recognized him!"

Master Xu nodded suddenly: "So that's how it is!"

The handsome young man smiled again and said, "My last name is Zuo, his last name is Huang. We are bored at home and want to go out and relax. Master Xu, you are the owner of this teahouse. If you have anything new and interesting, please tell us two brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xu suddenly realized and nodded secretly.

I see, it’s another court official who’s going on an incognito visit to understand the people’s sentiments!

The current imperial court likes to do this, and they even call it "no investigation, no right to speak."

After figuring out the identities of the two people, Master Xu knew what he was going to say. He immediately said with a smile, "As for new things, they are not very common in the market. The common ones are the little things that happen every day..."

"It's the little things that matter!"

Zuo Yu replied with a smile, then pointed to a person in front of him on the right and said, "How about you tell me about that person?"

Master Xu followed his gaze and immediately saw a tall figure in coarse linen clothes.

Master Xu suddenly realized, "You mean Master Liu San?"

Zuo Yu smiled and nodded, "I see his knuckles are thick, his fists are covered with calluses, and even his temples are bulging. He should be a good practitioner of horizontal training. With his skills, he should not have to worry about food and drink in the capital today. Why does he still look so unhappy?"

"Hey, it's all caused by the students from the military department!"

Master Xu sighed and said, "Master Liu's family runs a martial arts school. Now that the court has opened a martial arts school, martial arts schools have no business to do. Those who want to learn martial arts have all gone to the university built by the court. My unfilial son is the same. He left the family martial arts and insisted on going to the court's public martial arts school. Tell me, since it's a public school, can he learn any real skills?"

“…”

Zhao Lihe twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to refute when he was stopped by Zuo Yu.

Zuo Yu smiled and asked, "Even if the martial arts school has no business, with his ability, he shouldn't have ended up like this. I see his eyes are gloomy and he exudes a dead air. He looks like he's possessed by the god of misfortune, and he's gloomy and miserable."

"this……"

Master Xu hesitated a little and subconsciously glanced at Master Liu San's back.

Zuo Yu immediately smiled and said, "Master Xu, don't worry, he can't hear it."

Hearing this, Master Xu was immediately relieved. He gave Zuo Yu a thumbs up and whispered, "You two masters don't know that Liu San is not a good guy. When the four major escort agencies in Beijing were at their peak, Liu San and Mr. Pan of Shunfeng Escort Agency were brothers. But later, Shunfeng Escort Agency suffered a disaster, and Liu San immediately turned his back on him and refused to lend money to Mr. Pan several times."

"Since then, Lord Pan has recognized Liu San's true face, and the Pan and Liu families have cut off contact. Now that Lord Pan has become rich, Liu San has tried to return the favor, but was naturally turned away. Now that the martial arts school has been established, the martial arts school's business is slow, and he still thinks that Lord Pan is deliberately targeting him..."

As he spoke, Master Xu could not help but sneer: "If you ask me, this Liu San takes himself too seriously. Lord Pan is a dragon and phoenix from the Ninth Heaven, a star god who came down to earth with our Majesty. How can we have the time to bother with someone like him!"

"But then again, although Lord Pan doesn't care, there are too many forces outside who want to curry favor with Lord Pan. Liu San has lost his martial arts school business and is ostracized if he wants to change his career. He is afraid of dying in the wilderness if he leaves the capital, so he can only stay in the capital and wait for death, hoping that one day he will be forgiven by Lord Pan..."

Zhao Lihe frowned and couldn't help asking, "This mental state is a bit dangerous, right? If you let him into the teahouse like this, aren't you afraid that he will suddenly go crazy and hurt the guests in the teahouse?"

Master Xu laughed and said, "Liu San has four children, he wouldn't dare to do that!"

Hearing what Master Xu said, Zhao Lihe shook his head secretly.

It was still not safe to rely solely on the bond of a child, so he decided to summon the prefect of the capital city after returning and order him to send more people to keep an eye on potential dangerous elements like Liu San to prevent any tragedy from happening.

As for helping Liu San out of his predicament and solving the problem at the root, Zhao Lihe is not so kind-hearted.

In his opinion, Liu San's downfall was entirely his own fault.

As an official, the court only needs to pay attention to Liu San's behavior and prevent the worst thing from happening.

Just when Mr. Xu was chatting excitedly, a team of black-clad detectives suddenly walked in from outside the teahouse.

It is not quite appropriate to say this, because nowadays the constables are not called constables, but police officers.

However, people are not used to this title yet, so they still habitually call them "Police Constables".

At this moment, seeing the constables from the yamen coming to the door, the bustling teahouse immediately fell silent. Even those who were walking their birds and dogs covered their pets' mouths to prevent them from making too much noise.

Soon, a young and dashing female detective walked out of the crowd, glanced around, and locked her eyes on Zuo Yu's table.

Without hesitation, the female detective walked up to the table, took out a portrait and placed it on the table.

Before she could speak, Zuo Yu beside her asked curiously, "What is this?"

The female detective glanced at him and frowned slightly, but still explained: "This is the portrait of the wanted criminal in the government office - Manager Xu, please post it in the teahouse. The portrait, name, reward and how to claim it are all written on it."

"Okay, take care!"

Mr. Xu quickly took the portrait, stood up, and sent the constables away with a smile on his face.

Before he came back, Zuo Yu picked up the portrait and took a look at it, then looked at Zhao Lihe with a strange expression.

"Serial killer... Zhang Xianzhong?"

Zhao Lihe coughed lightly and transmitted his spiritual consciousness: "I rose too fast, and Zhang Xianzhong didn't have time to revolt..."

So he became a gangster?

Zuo Yu nodded suddenly, then looked at the murder record of Zhang Xianzhong on the wanted poster, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Killed seventeen people, raped eight people, destroyed sixteen families, he deserves to be killed!"
