Chapter 81 We in Qingkong Prefecture will send people to congratulate you
A Da and the other five people received the notice in advance and waited in front of the noon gate.

When they saw Zhou Tieyi coming out, the eunuchs behind him were pulling five large carts of treasures. Even though they were from the general's mansion and had seen the world, they were secretly amazed.

Ah Da even stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, could it be that the emperor has promised the princess to you?"

"That's just nonsense!"

Zhou Tieyi angrily shouted, "If you marry the princess to me, I will only get this little money!"

"Then Master, shall we go home?"

A Da and others trained the horses and prepared to drive.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the weather and said, "It's still early, let's go to the Minister of Justice Chang Sundan first."

The Zhou family has been in existence for four generations along with the country, so naturally they have deep roots. Although there are few people in these generations, there are many students and former officials.

Among his current disciples, the most senior one is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Chang Sun Dan. He used to be the chief clerk under Zhou Tieyi's grandfather Zhou Guangxia, and can be considered a capable official promoted by Zhou Guangxia.

······
Wu Qian was now standing in front of the Grand Court of Law, feeling distressed.

In the morning, Zhou Tieyi instructed to write an invitation and send it out to announce the news that he had broken through to the eighth level in martial arts.

Of course, it is easy to send gifts to military heroes who are on good terms with the Zhou family. Just hand over the Zhou family's business cards, and naturally someone will welcome you with good tea. Even if they are not happy with the reason why you sent the invitation, after reading the invitation, they will be silent for a while and then respectfully invite themselves out.

So in just one morning, I basically delivered all the invitations to Baihu City.

But there were only two invitations that were difficult to send.

The Grand Minister of Law and the Grand Minister of Citizens.

These two are the top three officials of the dynasty, able to suppress the Zhou family!
What's more, I heard in recent days that these two were dissatisfied with the Zhou family.

By sending this invitation, you are inviting the other party to come and give a gift to your host family. Isn't this asking for trouble?

After standing in front of the Grand Lawyer's Mansion for a long time, Wu Qian gritted his teeth and handed over the Zhou family's business card first.

The man was also very picky. He took a look at the business card of the second-class Huwei General's Mansion and said coldly without smiling, "Put this post here."

Wu Qian knew that if he put this post aside, it would fall into oblivion.

He gritted his teeth, took out a brocade box from his inner pocket, and then took out a sixth-grade Tiger and Leopard Marrow-Replenishing Pill from the box.

"This is a Taoist sixth-grade golden elixir. Please be flexible. It is because of a happy event that my Zhou Mansion wants to invite the Grand Attorney General."

Menzi glanced at the invitation. It was red, so it must be a happy event. However, because of the sealing wax, he didn't dare to open it.

He took another look at the sixth-grade elixir that Wu Qian handed over. For them, this was already an excellent thing.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and give the invitation to the master. As for whether the master will receive you or not, that's none of my business."

Wu Qian nodded quickly, "I understand, I understand."

The doorman first handed the invitation to the young master in the mansion, who was the second son of Grand Attorney Qingkong Gui. Qingkong Gui's eldest son joined the army and was leading troops outside.

Qingkong Gui's second son opened the sealing wax and saw an invitation from Zhou Tieyi inside.

He thought for a while. During this period of time, Zhou Tieyi had been stirring up the situation in Tianjing, and his father had asked him to report all the news about him. So he did not dare to neglect it and went to his father's study.

Qingkong Gui had just finished his morning court session and was still handling government affairs in his study. Today, Grand Minister Dong Xingshu and Right General Yuchi Pojun both took sick leave.

He was annotating the memorials by himself, without the restraint of two people, so he finished much faster and was even able to make it home in time for lunch.

Qingkong Gui was reading a book when he saw his second son Qingkong Ming coming in with an invitation. He asked curiously, "Whose invitation is it that is sent to me?"

Normally, the second son would handle the invitations himself. Unless it was the birthday of an official from the same three departments, the invitations would not come to him.

But the birthdays of the two old guys Dong Xingshu and Yuchi Pojun have not arrived yet.

Qingkong Ming didn't say much, and directly handed over the invitation. Qingkong Gui read it carefully, and then put the invitation down. He suddenly laughed and said, "This is not an invitation, but a letter of challenge!"

"what?"

Qingkong Ming looked up. Even he hadn't thought of this.

Qingkong Gui smiled and explained to his son, "The day before yesterday, the kid from the Zhou Mansion went to the Right General's Mansion first, and made the old guy Yuchi Pojun very angry. I heard that he even beat his most beloved grandson half to death."

"Yesterday, he used a trick to make the boy from the Mei family kneel in front of the Simin Mansion for half a night, with his hair all white, and made Dong Xingshu claim to be sick and not attend the court."

"Today, the invitation was delivered to me..."

Qingkong Gui has an elegant appearance, wearing a round-necked purple robe. He does not have the sternness of a Legalist at all, but rather looks like a Confucian.

Although Qingkong Ming was already forty years old, he still felt a chill on the back of his neck when he heard this.

In the past few days, I don’t know how many teaching sticks have been broken in Tianjing.

It’s all because of Zhou Tieyi!

"Do you know why he challenged me?"

Qingkong Gui asked.

Qingkongming was worried. He suspected that he had answered incorrectly today and would definitely be punished with a beating.

At his age, if he were beaten by the godson's stick, he would probably be too embarrassed to see anyone for a month.

"Is it because my father's name was written on the Begging Letter?"

This must be the direct cause. Everything happened for a reason. Qingkong Gui's writing echoed the Confucian Dong Xingshu, which can be regarded as an active attack on Zhou Tieyi.

"anything else?"

Qingkong Gui still asked with a smile.

Qingkong Ming thought for a while, thinking that what he had learned over the years was not in vain. He said, "He offended the Queen Mother's family, and then offended the Three Officials successively. This!"

Seeing that Qingkong Ming had already thought of the answer, Qingkong Gui laughed and said, "He wants to be a lone minister!"

"In this Tianjing, he has offended the Empress and then the Three Officials. The only one who can protect him is His Majesty!"

"It seems that he is still harboring evil intentions. He really deserves to be beaten!"

Qingkong Gui picked up the invitation and was about to start writing, when he suddenly thought of something and looked at the Mohist flying bird self-propelled clock.

As soon as it was 3 p.m., a colorful bird flew out of the clock and circled the study room like a clockwork, telling the time continuously, which was quite interesting.

This thing is a rare item that cannot be bought with money. Only a mid-level cultivator of the Mohist school can make it.

"Go and ask around. How is the boy doing today when he went into the palace to fish for dragon fish? Logically, he should be out by now."

Qingkong ordered it to be done immediately.

After only two cups of tea, he walked in with a slightly anxious look, "Father, the emperor gives three rewards a day!"

"Three rewards a day?"

Qingkong Gui didn't understand what it meant for a moment and looked at his son in confusion.

Qingkongming took a breath and said, "The emperor rewarded Zhou Tieyi three times a day, giving him a dragon fish, four characters, and feather clothes!"

Then he repeated the news he had heard. Since all the princes and retainers had already returned home, the news in the palace today was not difficult to find out.

Qingkong Gui looked at the invitation, then looked at his pen, and sighed, "Go to Menzi and tell the person who delivered the letter that we in Qingkong Mansion will send someone to congratulate you when the time comes."
