Chapter 113 Kill
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the glazed ceiling curtain in the imperial study was opened with the help of Mohist mechanical technology.

Strands of golden morning light shine through the glass, reflecting a colorful rainbow bridge spanning the mountain of books.

There is a specific purpose for the action and a specific executor.

His Majesty the Great Xia is about to start asking for specific solutions.

"What are you going to do as the first step?"

Zhou Tieyi bowed and said, "I read in a book that there is a kind of rice called Jade Rice, which is planted every year by the old Heavenly Master on Xuandu Mountain. There is only one acre of land, but it can last for a year with just one meal."

Of course, this jade rice is not just for filling your stomach, it is also a top-grade elixir without any poison.

For example, if my brother had jade rice, the formation of his golden muscles and jade bones would be at least one year faster.

When the emperor heard Zhou Tieyi wanted jade rice, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked curiously, "Can you make him eat it?"

You have to know that last time Zhou Tieyi used rhetoric to persuade Mei Qingchen to eat, but this time using the same reason, Mei Qingchen would definitely not eat.

Zhou Tieyi clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please wait and see."

The Great Xia Emperor looked at the eunuch Su Xibi who was reading with him and said, "Go get a box of fine jade rice. Oh, and get a peach from the Confucian peach and plum tree as a reward for the poem he just wrote."

Su Xibi hurried to do it.

Zhou Tieyi bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The Emperor of Daxia showed a warm smile. Being with young people made people feel happy. It was much better than the old-fashioned faces of all the ministers in the court. No wonder he became less and less fond of attending the morning court in recent years.

"Just do your work with peace of mind. I will not treat my loyal subjects unfairly."

Zhou Tieyi said, "Your Majesty is wise, but I am a humble minister with little power and low position. I am worried that someone will deliberately stop me from executing him this time."

The emperor's warm smile disappeared, and he asked calmly, "Who dares to stop us?"

Zhou Tieyi didn't answer. You didn't even invite me into the palace in person. Don't you know who will stop you?

Or did you deliberately not let others know that I came here today just to pick up a knife and kill someone?
When the Emperor of Daxia picked up the pen, Zhou Tieyi immediately picked up the Shoushan inkstone next to him and ground it with the Yanyu ink without adding water. The ink immediately became thick, like the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River in April.

Seeing that the ink was ground, the Great Xia Emperor pulled over a piece of paper, dipped the jade brush in the ground ink, and wrote with his brush in all directions.

kill!

Just this one word already represents the emperor's intention.

When the ink was dry, His Majesty the Great Xia looked at the words and said, "If anyone tries to stop me, I will kill them."

Zhou Tieyi straightened his back and looked at the words eagerly, but the emperor did not grant it in the end.

He could only bow and say, "I know what to do."

Coincidentally, Su Xibi also went to get the jade rice and peaches and plums. He put these two things in a jade box and sealed it with a secret method.

"Do your job well and get it done."

The Great Xia Emperor gave another reminder.

Zhou Tieyi lowered his head. It seemed that this matter had a deeper meaning to the emperor that he had not thought of yet, so he really cared about it. However, he had to issue a secret decree to him and was reluctant to even give the word "kill". You know, he had rewarded him with four words at that time. Did he want him to pay for it out of his own pocket?
When he left, it was naturally Su Xibi who sent him directly back home.

At the entrance of Qilin Pavilion, Zhou Tieyi took the two jade boxes from Su Xibi with a smile and said, "Manager Su, can you come in for some morning tea?"

Su Xibi smiled and said, "The emperor is still waiting for someone to serve him."

Zhou Tieyi naturally knew this, so he just mentioned it casually, "Then I will respectfully see Chief Steward Su off."

Su Xibi Lian said he didn't dare, bowed to Zhou Tieyi, and disappeared on the spot.

Zhou Tieyi stood there and thought for a while.

The main reason why he did not express further "kindness" to Su Xibi just now was because he had already chosen the chief eunuch.

The ministers in the court formed cliques and factions, and the palace servants were naturally even worse.

Among them, there are three eunuchs, namely the seal-holding eunuch, the reading companion eunuch, and the chief eunuch. Although the chief eunuch is ranked last, he is the one Zhou Tieyi should contact the most, because it only involves money, not power, and the emperor is most assured.

Zhou Tieyi stood there for a while, and Gongshu Sheng came over wearing a mask.

If it were in the past, he would naturally not have noticed that Su Xibi was coming, but it was different now.

Of course Zhou's mother also found out, but she was devoted to practicing Taoism, so she told Zhou Tieyi to handle these mundane matters and would not ask any more questions.

"Is something wrong?"

Gongshu Sheng looked at Zhou Tieyi's jade box.

Such precious things would not be given out easily, which meant that the emperor had some troubles that he wanted Zhou Tieyi to deal with, but he didn't know if he needed his help.

"Good thing."

Zhou Tieyi said to Gongshu Sheng with a smile, without saying another word.

Gongshu Sheng nodded. Since Zhou Tieyi didn't say anything, it meant that he could handle the matter.

After returning to his study, Zhou Tieyi opened two jade boxes, one of which contained a box of jade rice that looked like Hetian jade seeds.

Each grain is round and smooth, worthy of the name "jade essence".

The portion is large enough to make four bowls of rice.

Zhou Tieyi divided it into four portions and told Bai Mei, "Send one portion to my brother and tell him that the palace gave him four portions as a reward and I gave him one portion."

Bai Mei nodded.

"Send another portion to Mei Juncang, steam one portion at twilight hour today, put it in the lunch box and bring it over, and keep the last portion for me."

This jade rice can be preserved for a very long time. I am only at the eighth level of martial arts now, so it would be a waste to eat it. It would be best for me to eat it when I reach the fifth level of martial arts to speed up the training of my golden muscles and jade bones.

Zhou Tieyi opened another box, which contained a fruit that was a hybrid of a peach and a plum.

These are the peaches and plums produced by the Confucian peach and plum trees, which are as precious as the jade rice from Xuandu Mountain.

Compared to jade rice which can promote the formation of golden skin and jade bones, the greatest function of peaches and plums is to help people become enlightened.

It’s just right for Zhou Tieyi to eat now.

He picked up the peach and plum, thought about it, and decided not to wash off the fluff with water.

This is the first time I eat this thing, and I don’t even want to wash the fluff.

Zhou Tieyi complained in his heart.

If I have the chance in the future, I must go to the Confucian Taolilin to eat a lot!

He thought about it, and gathered his blood and energy into his fingertips. He used his fingers as a knife, cut a small piece, and handed it to Baimei who was still cleaning the jade rice.

Bai Mei waved her hands repeatedly, "Master, this thing is precious. How can I be so lucky as to enjoy it?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "I won't eat anything that my sister doesn't eat."

Having said that, he pretended to throw it away.

Although Bai Mei knew that Zhou Tieyi was joking, she quickly grabbed Zhou Tieyi's hand and said, "Don't be silly."

Zhou Tieyi added, "I can't even bear to give this thing to my senior sister, so please eat it with me."

Senior sister, I will have to find this thing for you later.

When Baimei heard that Miaoyu had nothing to eat, and this time she saw it with her own eyes, even though she hadn't eaten yet, she felt as if she had eaten.

I took the small tooth and held it in my hand. The flesh was as clear as a pink ruby, with a peculiar fragrance. The more I looked at it, the more I didn't want to eat it.
