n

n“You’re wrong. ” Xiao ran said.

n

nSeeing that he was confused, she explained patiently.

n

n“To get to the point, they’re being held in the Imperial prison, not somewhere else. Even if they’re locked up on the first floor, the yin and filthy energy is still very heavy. With their Constitution, it’s enough for them to suffer. ”

n

nXiao Zhou laughed heartily after being enlightened by Xiao ran.”They’re going to have a hard time this time.”

n

n“The time for the fall quarter examination has been set. Master Fu will be the main examiner, and some famous scholars will assist him in setting the questions. We’ll try to set the questions within a day.” After that, we’ll hand it over to him for approval. If nothing goes wrong, the autumn hunt will start again in two days at the latest. ”

n

nHe paused for a moment and took a sip of tea.

n

n“I’ve underestimated him. Logically speaking, we indirectly killed the eighteenth Prince, crippled the twelfth Prince, and even severely punished the ninth Prince. He can’t possibly give us any rewards. I didn’t expect it to be so heavy. ”

n

n“Is that so?” Xiao ran pondered.

n

n“Yes.” Shen Yiming nodded heavily.

n

nXiao Zhou was impatient and couldn’t help but ask,””Daren, don’t keep us in suspense, quickly tell us! What was the reward?”

n

nBang! Bang!

n

nShen Yiming knocked him on the head in a bad mood.”Xiao ran isn’t in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry?”

n

n“Three hundred thousand taels each, three heaven-tier low-grade medicinal pills, and a heaven-tier top-grade martial skill. But that’s not the point. The point is that we can buy a house in the Vermilion Bird Market. ”

n

n“Buy?” This was the first time Xiao ran had heard of it.

n

nThis made him think of the tricks that developers used in his previous life.

n

n“Yes.” Shen Yiming was very excited.

n

n“The Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Qilin markets are the most expensive places in the capital. You can’t buy a house here just because you have money. One must have the qualifications to buy, make a great contribution, or be rewarded by him, or be someone who has made a great contribution. ”

n

n“No matter how high the official position is?” Little Zhou asked.

n

n“No!” Shen Yiming shook his head.

n

n“In that case, are we still profiting this time?” Xiao ran teased.

n

n“Indeed! Just this right to buy is worth at least a million taels if you sell it. There will be countless officials and nobles fighting for it. ”

n

nXiao ran asked,”are you planning to sell it?”

n

n“I’m not selling! I’ve been an official for so many years, and it’s not easy for me to get a chance to buy a house. This time, even if I have to sell everything I have, I have to buy a house in the Vermillion Bird Market. ”

n

n“Is there something special about it?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“What are we working so hard for? Apart from doing something for the people, the rest was to keep up appearances. If he stayed there, his class would directly go up. In the future, when people ask you where you live, just tell them that you’re staying at Vermillion Bird square. Think about it, won’t you become pretentious in an instant?”

n

n“You’re too sensitive. ” Xiao ran smiled.

n

n“Aren’t there five workshops here? My Lord, why did you buy a house in the Vermillion Bird Market? Could it be that there’s something different?” Little Zhou was curious.

n

nShen Yiming shook his head.”It’s almost the same. There’s no difference. They’re all good places.” However, I bought a house next to Xiao ran. Vermilion Bird Lane is very close to Jingwen Lane. If I buy another house nearby, I’ll be able to take care of both sides. ”

n

nHe looked at Xiao ran.

n

n“Where do you plan to buy a house?”

n

n“Vermillion Bird Market!” Xiao ran said.

n

n“Yes.” Shen Yiming nodded.

n

nHe handed over 300000 silver, three heaven-tier medicinal pills, a top-grade heaven-tier martial skill, and a right to purchase.

n

nXiao ran kept the items.

n

nXiao Zhou suggested,”brother Xiao, Sir, you must treat us this time.”

n

nXiao ran teased,”did you not have a good time at the drunken immortal court last night?”

n

n“This kid held onto the wall as he walked out. Do you think he’s happy? he even gave sister Yan ten thousand taels.” Shen Yiming added.

n

nXiao ran was stunned. He looked at him seriously and gave him a thumbs up.”Talented!”

n

n“Don’t make fun of me. Next time, I won’t go to the drunken immortal court even if you beat me to death. ” Little Zhou’s face was bitter.

n

n“The money I’ve earned these days is almost empty. If I don’t have money to eat, you guys have to sponsor me. ”

n

n“Your father won’t give it to you?” Xiao ran was curious.

n

n“Ever since sister Yan went to see me, she hasn’t given me a single cent.”

n

nAt this moment.

n

nA blue blade guard quickly walked in from outside and stopped outside the room.

n

n“Lord Xiao, there’s someone outside looking for you,”

n

n“Are you sure?” Xiao ran asked.

n

n“Yes.” The blue blade guard nodded.

n

n“I know, you can go now!” Xiao ran said.

n

nAfter he left, Xiao ran stood up from his chair and met their gazes.”I’ll go out and see what’s going on.”

n

n“Alright! We’ll wait for you here. Since we’re free now, let’s go to the Vermillion Bird Market to buy a house. ” Shen Yiming said.

n

nHe left the room and arrived at the door.

n

nOther than a middle-aged man, Bai Zhanyu was also present.

n

n“Brother Xiao!” Bai Zhanyu greeted him warmly.

n

n“The Yamen is not busy?” Xiao ran laughed and punched him on the chest.

n

n“It’s alright. ” Bai Zhanyu said.

n

nHe pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced,”this is North city’s County Magistrate, Pang De.”

n

nPang De smiled and warmly welcomed him,”I’ve admired Lord Xiao for a long time, but I’ve never had the chance to meet you. Now that I’ve met you, you’re indeed a man of striking appearance, a Dragon among men.”

n

nXiao ran smiled.

n

n“Brother Xiao, let’s go to the side and talk!” Bai Zhanyu pointed to a corner.

n

n“Yes.” Xiao ran nodded.

n

nAt this point.

n

nBai Zhanyu pulled him to the side and explained in a low voice,””I don’t know how he found out about our relationship, but he begged me to go with him. I couldn’t bring myself to say yes, so I agreed.”
