Chapter 1159: How is your martial arts?
After hesitating for a while, Gu Sansi picked up the file from the desk. As he flipped through the file, Gu Sansi's expression became a little doubtful...
After half an incense stick of time, Gu Sansi put the file down, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought!
He had doubts before. He could see the shortcomings of Zhao Wanxian, so couldn’t the Marshal see them?
Is Zhao Wanxian's ability really strong enough to make the Marshal ignore his shortcomings?
But now after seeing this file, Gu Sansi realized that although Zhao Wanxian’s shortcomings did exist, his abilities were indeed more powerful than he had imagined!
Gu Sansi didn't expect that all these things were dug out by Zhao Wanxian, and not only this incident, but also the illegal behaviors of some people related to him were recorded by Zhao Wanxian!
Thinking of this, Gu Sansi's eyes flashed with coldness. This Zhao Wanxian compiled this kind of thing, it seems that he had already planned to deal with him!
However, he thought that this kind of thing could be used to control him, and that guy really underestimated him!
"Somebody come!"
"exist!"
"Send this file to the Censorate and give it to the Left Censor-in-Chief Xiao Lingyu. Tell him that this is what Lord Zhao Wanxian left with me!"
"Yes!"
After handing over the file, Gu Sansi took a deep breath. Zhao Wanxian’s file would indeed have a significant negative impact on him, but it was not enough to bring him down...
Zhao Wanxian was also very clear about this, so he did not make use of this matter, but handed the file to himself!
On the one hand, Zhao Wanxian did this to show goodwill, saying that I have returned your handle to you, sir, and please don't do anything behind my back in the future. But on the other hand, it was also a demonstration, saying that your handle is in my hand, and if you do something behind my back again, don't blame me for being ruthless!
However, Zhao Wanxian was still too young and inexperienced, and he underestimated himself, the Minister of Personnel. Did he think that this little thing could make him feel intimidated?
And the most crucial thing is that by doing this, Gu Sansi realized a problem, that is, if Zhao Wanxian was able to dig out the truth, then things were not as foolproof as he thought. Maybe the old man Cui Shao had already grasped the matter, but was just holding back!
Gu Sansi was very clear about how deep the roots of this old man Cui Shao were in Liaoyang. He might not care about Zhao Wanxian, but he would never dare to look down on Cui Shao!
As the saying goes, a biting dog never barks. Cui Shao, this old dog, is such a person who doesn't take action easily, but once he does, it is earth-shattering!
So since Zhao Wanxian has broken this window paper, he, Gu, will eliminate this hidden danger even if he has to bear some punishment. He cannot let this hidden danger continue to develop!
The Marshal was right about this matter. If you want to cover up a mistake, you may make countless mistakes. And he, Gu Sansi, must not make such a low-level mistake...

Yijing, Ye Mansion
After a fierce battle late at night, Ye Mingsheng lay on the bed somewhat tired. When he was about to go to sleep, he found that Pei Zhixiu beside him seemed a little absent-minded.
Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but ask softly:
"What's wrong? What's bothering you?"
Pei Zhixiu shook her head slightly in response to Ye Mingsheng's question. Although Pei Zhixiu didn't say anything, Ye Mingsheng probably understood why she was worried. He immediately held her hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry. I ...
"Don't worry, Jixiu. Jingxuan and Yiren usually play in the mansion, and you know the defense of the Ye Mansion. Even if they have wings and great abilities, they will never be able to get in!"
After listening to Ye Mingsheng's consolation, Pei Zhixiu's expression also eased a little, and then hesitantly said to Ye Mingsheng:
"Husband, I want to go back to the clinic and take charge! There are still many patients waiting for my treatment!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew that seeing the patient was just an excuse for Pei Zhixiu. Pei Zhixiu's actual purpose might be to use himself as bait to lure the other party out!
Facing Pei Zhixiu's gaze, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:
"Ji Xiu, there's no need for you to do this. Someone else will take care of the clinic!"
"Wang Xuecheng has made some progress in his investigation, and he has signed a military order with me to arrest these people within ten days!"
“Everything will be calm soon, and then Ji-soo you can return to the clinic…”
"As for the next few days, you should stay at home for the time being. You can go see your mother. Although the doctors at the medical school are very good, they all have many concerns. Sometimes they evade the important points and are very confusing!"
"Okay! I will follow your instructions!"
Pei Zhixiu's face showed a hint of surprise when she heard what Ye Mingsheng said. Although she and Wang Xuecheng had no contact, Pei Zhixiu knew that Wang Xuecheng was able to become the director of the Coordination Office and become Ye Mingsheng's number one henchman. He was undoubtedly a very capable person!
Wang Xuecheng would not easily make a promise, let alone issue a military order to Ye Mingsheng. Therefore, since he dared to issue such a military order, it also represented that he had strong confidence in catching these people and could complete the task within ten days.
Thinking of this, Pei Zhixiu felt a lot more at ease, and then she obediently snuggled in Ye Mingsheng's arms, hugging her husband tightly!
As a former member, Pei Zhixiu knew that the enemy would be top-level ninjas. Although their martial arts might not be the most powerful, they were very proficient in assassinations, poisoning and other spooky tricks!
And the most important thing is that judging from the old woman’s performance that day, it seems that these people were determined to die when they set foot on the land of Da Zhou this time!
Although Pei Zhixiu understood rationally that her two children Jingxuan and Yiren were very well protected, and although the other party was very powerful, he was alone and unfamiliar with the Great Zhou, so there was almost no possibility of harming her children························
But as a mother, Pei Zhixiu couldn't help but feel a little worried when she thought about her child being targeted by such a person, so she thought of using herself as bait to lure the other party out!
Pei Zhixiu is still very confident in her martial arts. Even if those people join forces to attack her, they are no match for her!
But now that Ye Mingsheng has made arrangements, Pei Zhixiu is happy to stay under Ye Mingsheng's protection!
After saying a few tender words, Ye Mingsheng seemed to have thought of something, and said with a little curiosity:
"Ji Xiu, what level of martial arts have you reached now? Those internal guards said that even if they joined forces, they couldn't last more than ten moves in your hands!"
Pei Zhixiu's eyes flickered as she heard this and she said:
"In fact, I don't know exactly where I am now, but I have made some progress after keeping calm over the years!"
"Then be more specific. Jixiu, how many people can you fight now? The inner guards said that you can fight one hundred or even one thousand at a time!"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Pei Zhixiu thought for a moment and said:
"With cold weapons, it's not a problem to fight one against a hundred, but fighting one against a thousand is too much. But I can get away if I want to!"
"So firearms can still hurt you?"
Pei Zhixiu preached somewhat unhappily:
"No matter how strong my martial arts skills are, I am still a mortal after all. Firearms can certainly hurt me!"
Pei Zhixiu paused and added:
"Of course, hurting me and killing me are two different things..." After saying that, Pei Zhixiu leaned close to Ye Mingsheng's ear and whispered:
"My husband, are your loyal subordinates thinking that I am uncontrollable again and advising you to abolish my martial arts?"
Ye Mingsheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Seeing this, Pei Zhixiu continued:
"I have now told you everything, my lord. If you want to destroy my martial arts, I have nothing to say!"
Listening to Pei Zhixiu's somewhat aggrieved words, Ye Mingsheng embraced her slender body and said sincerely:
"Don't worry, Jixiu. I've already severely reprimanded them. If any of them have such thoughts again, they will be killed without mercy!"
Feeling the decisiveness in Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu's resentment was relieved, and then she whispered in Ye Mingsheng's ear:
"I feel that the greatest use of my martial arts is to satisfy your ZUY! Let you abuse me as you please!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Mingsheng felt that his XX couldn't help XXX. Feeling Ye Mingsheng's breathing become rapid, Pei Zhixiu also covered her mouth and chuckled.

Yijing, Cui Mansion
Late at night, Cui Zibo got off the carriage. His legs were a little weak, and he almost fell when he landed. Just as he walked into his house and was about to go back to his room to sleep, he saw the housekeeper Cui Fu coming over, bowing to him and saying:
"Master, the master wants you to go to his study!"
Cui Zibo was startled at first when he heard this, and then he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still forced himself to calm down and asked tentatively:
"now?"
Cui Fu nodded and said:
"The master said you should go there as soon as you get back home!"
The housekeeper's answer made Cui Zi Bo a little nervous, but he had no choice but to walk towards his father's study in a daze.
When he reached the door of the study, Cui Zibo stopped and adjusted his mood before he mustered up the courage to gently knock on the door.
"Enter!"
Hearing his father's voice, Cui Zibo pushed open the door and saw Cui Shao sitting on a chair with his eyes closed in the dim light of the kerosene lamp. It was not known whether it was because the light was too dim, but Cui Shao no longer had the dignity and wisdom he had as the Minister of Revenue during the day. He looked a little old and tired.
Seeing this, Cui Zibo also had a glimmer of hope and whispered:
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Cui Shao didn't open his eyes when he heard this. He leaned back in his chair and asked calmly;
"What information did you find out from Hu Ming..."
Cui Zi Bo was speechless after hearing this. He also wanted to get some information out of Hu Ming at the beginning, but he didn't know since when, all that was left between him and Hu Ming was eating, drinking and having fun. He learned a lot of tricks, but he really didn't get any serious information out.
Seeing that Cui Zi Bo was speechless, Cui Shao slowly opened his eyes and looked at his son. Feeling the undisguised disappointment in his father's eyes, Cui Zi Bo could not help but lower his head in shame.
The father and son fell into silence for a while, and seeing such silence, Cui Zibo was a little panicked. He would rather his father scold him at this time!
Just when Cui Zi Bo was thinking about how to break the silence, he heard his father's voice.
"Cui Hang will come to Yijing tomorrow. Go to the East Gate to pick him up at noon tomorrow!"
Cui Zibo was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in surprise:
"Father, Brother Hang is doing well in Liaoyang, why did he come to Yijing?"
In response to his son's question, Cui Shao said calmly;
"Your brother Hang is doing very well in Liaoyang. Now he is going to be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as a doctor!"
Cui Zibo seemed to realize something after hearing this, and then raised his head and asked his father:
"Did you arrange this, Father?"
Facing his son's gaze, Cui Shao said calmly:
“Your brother Hang is doing very well in Liaoyang…”
After hearing his father's words, Cui Shao pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Father, I understand. I will pick up Brother Hang at noon tomorrow!"
Seeing that Cui Zibo seemed to be making the best of it, Cui Shao felt even more disappointed, and then he continued:
"The Ministry of Justice has a lot of things going on recently. As an assistant minister, you can't leave the Ministry of Justice. Let your brother Hang take over for you to accompany the Marshal on his southern tour!"
This statement completely broke through Cui Zibo's psychological defenses. He smiled bitterly and said to Cui Shao:
"Dad, I know I was wrong! Please give me a chance to make a fresh start, I will definitely change for the better!"
Facing his son's sincere words, Cui Shao remained unmoved and said in a deep voice:
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it, Zibo! So this matter is settled!"
Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Cui Zi Bo felt helpless, but he could only sigh in his heart, bowed to his father and wanted to turn around and leave.
Just as Cui Zi Bo was about to walk out of the study, his father's serious voice sounded again behind him.
“If you are unwilling to shoulder the burden of the family, then naturally someone else will bear it for you. You don’t have to force yourself…”
