    The door of the Kong family was opened for the arrival of Xie Wanli.

    The Xie family and the Kong family are two different families.

    The Xie family has a long history. During the previous dynasty, they were already well-known nobles.  There are many outstanding talents in the family, and they are powerful in both the government and the public.  The Kong family is a new upstart.  Kong Xinfei was just a military general at that time, but with good luck, his daughter was selected into the army, and then she was favored by the emperor, became the queen, and gave birth to a son who was established as the prince.

    It is impossible not to make people jealous of such a soaring opportunity.

    Kong Guozhang welcomed him out the door enthusiastically, and his performance made Xie Wanli feel even more uncertain.  When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something. The better the attitude of Kong Guozhang, the harder it will be to get the person back after a while.

    Looking at his niece Xie Xiaofu beside him, Xie Wanli sighed in his heart.  Xie Wanli didn't want to deal with the Kong family. They, a noble family with a long history, were naturally at odds with the Kong family.

    After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xie Wanli directly made the request.

    "Master Hou, I heard that Shen Yue is here with you. Can you let him come out and talk to you?"

    His attitude was very low, because he was afraid that Kong Guozhang would not agree.  If you just ask people to stop thinking about it, Xie Wanli will be speechless just by saying, "What is the relationship between Shen Yue and you guys?"

    ?? Could it be that Shen Yue likes Xu Manhua, so he is willing to join him?

    "Okay, come and find Shen Yue."

    With surprise in his heart, Xie Wanli picked up the teacup with a smile.  It seems that there may be a way, but I don¡¯t know what conditions this old fox, Kong Guozhang, wants?

    Less than a tea time later, a young man walked in.

    He has a handsome face, but he still has the masculinity of a man.  He smiled as he walked, as if he was not being detained in an enemy's house, but strolling in his own back garden.

    "Shen Yue, this is the second son of the Xie family, Xie Xiaofu's uncle. He got up to look for you today."

    ¡°I¡¯ve met Uncle Xie.¡±

    He turned around and saluted Xie Wanli.

    "Shen Yue, Xiaofu failed to protect you last night and let Yuantong kidnap you. I wonder if you have suffered any grievances during this time?"

    "Thanks to uncle, I am very lucky. Although Lingyin Temple suffered a disaster, I have nothing to do. It's just that I'm not used to staying in the Confucius Mansion and I want to go out for a walk."

    "this?"

    Xie Wanli turned his head and turned his attention to Kong Guozhang.

    Kong Guozhang didn't say anything, he just picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea.

    "Hey, there is a door!"

    Xie Wanli was slightly happy. Kong Guozhang's behavior showed that he could let Shen Yue go, but he needed to exchange conditions.

    He opened his mouth to say something, but Shen Yue stood up.

    "Zhang Kong, can I leave?"

    "Shen Yue, are you not satisfied with those items?"

    "I can't afford such expensive things, so I accept it with kindness."

    "You are a young man."

    Kong Guozhang turned his head, clapped his hands, and four servants walked in carrying four wooden boxes.

    "Shen Yue, there have been many murders in Haizhou City, and the victims are inextricably related to you. Whether it's public or private, I can't let you go, but if you promise, within a month,  Investigate what happened and leave now.¡±

    There is a sword, a bottle of elixir, a token, and a piece of soft armor in the box.

    The sword is a green mulberry sword, the proud work of Master Gongyezi. It cuts gold and jade, blows hair and breaks hair. The green sword is covered with cracks like tortoise shells.

    There are three elixirs in the jade screen. The elixir is the Dragon and Tiger Golden elixir from Qingxu Guan. It has flesh and white bones after living and dead people. Taking one pill can support two years of hard work.

    The token is a token only owned by the stewards of the Kong family. With this token, you can investigate any house in Haizhou City, and all expenses will be reimbursed.

    The golden silk soft armor, the sword does not enter, the water and the fire are not hurt, the martial arts is low, and the martial arts may have a life.

    "Mr. Shen, these four things are considered to be very helpful to the investigation. They should be regarded as remuneration paid by me in advance. How about it?"

    Last night, Kong Xiangyun gave Shen Yue four gifts in his room, but they were not these four. On the contrary, they were even more precious.

    A thousand-year-old ginseng can increase your internal strength for ten years. If used to make elixirs, it is one of the main medicines.

    There is a box of Lingyin Temple's martial arts secrets, which contains a total of twenty-seven unique skills of Lingyin Temple.  This was found in a basement of Lingyin Temple while fighting the fire.  The martial arts in it range from shallow to deep and are all-encompassing.  If Shen Yue wants to practice martial arts, this is the best thing.

      Although Lingyin Temple was destroyed, it does not mean that there is a problem with these martial arts.  It is the people who lose, not the martial arts.  There are twenty-seven unique skills among them. As long as you learn one, you can stand out in the world.

    ¡°Moreover, these martial arts represent a system. The reason why sects can stand for thousands of years is because they have a vast accumulation of martial arts.  A variety of martial arts secrets and countless practice notes allow latecomers to obtain the most comprehensive knowledge.

    One of the five officials of the Tai Hospital is a Qinggui leisure. Many people dream of the qualifications. Whether it is to eat and wait for the martial arts, or the martial arts of life, it is a good choice.  Moreover, there are many Chinese medicine doctors in Tai Hospital, and this official body is enough to solve many physical problems during martial arts training.

    Some people may think this thing is not as precious as the first two, but if Shen Yue wants to marry Xu Manhua, this is the best gift.  He has a fifth-grade official status, so the Xie family will have much less resistance.

    Finally, there is a letter of apology, written by Kong Guozhang himself, making a very sincere apology for what happened in the past.  Although he did not mention the cowpox incident, he vaguely mentioned that if the matter here was settled, he would restore Shen Yue's reputation and plead guilty to the court himself.

    This letter itself is a handle. Even if he regrets it later, Shen Yue can use this thing to cause earth-shaking.  What's more, he doesn't necessarily want to cause trouble. On the contrary, this thing is enough for him to get enough benefits from the Kong family.

    If he wants to settle the matter, he doesn¡¯t want to lose face, but only wants the benefits.

    Kong Xiangyun felt that these things were too valuable, but she still obeyed her grandfather's words and sent the things to Shen Yue's room, saying that if the truth was found out, there would be ten times the reward.

    Kong Xiangyun asked Shen Yue if the Acne Goddess was here and could he sincerely help find out the truth?

    Shen Yue did not answer, but told Kong Xiangyun that he did not want to stay in the Kong family.  And even if Kong Guozhang keeps him in the Kong family, it will have no effect, because Abbot Yuantong has already done so.

    He doesn¡¯t want any gifts, but now, Kong Guozhang has changed four more things. Should he take them or not?

    In full view of the public, can he accept this favor?

    Kong Guozhang's attitude is very clear. If Shen Yue doesn't appreciate it, then there is no need to leave.  But maybe this is just a trap.

    ============

    "I didn't expect that the Marquis would value Shen Yue so much, so I will thank the Marquis on his behalf."

    The person who spoke was Xie Wanli, the second in charge of the Xie family. Before Shen Yue could say a word of rejection or acceptance, he took a step forward and picked up the box.

    "These four things are very good. I would like to thank Mr. Hou on behalf of Shen Yue."

    Xie Wanli's words were so enthusiastic that he seemed to regard Shen Yue as a member of the Xie family.  He gave Shen Yue a look, telling him not to say anything.

    When Shen Yue saw this scene, he suddenly laughed.  When did I become a symbol of elm knots in everyone's eyes?

    He is just persistent, but he is not a fool.  I didn't join the Kong family because I didn't want to be a dog, but what's the big deal about temporarily giving in?

    Those who harmed me will naturally repay me twice as much, but that doesn¡¯t mean that they are clueless or without strategies.  The reason he endured Wei Donglai's humiliation in the first place was just for revenge in the future.

    However, he didn¡¯t want the Xie family to be a favor to Kong Guozhang. After thinking about it, he borrowed a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it to Kong Guozhang.

    Let the dead man prove some of his conjectures, at least they can delay the pace of the Pox Goddess.  The Kong family would not believe or understand what he wrote on paper.  And when they find out, it's too late.

    After opening the paper ball, Kong Guozhang's face became very wonderful. It was an expression of doubt and surprise. He seemed not to understand what Shen Yue meant by writing this.

    Xie Wanli nodded and was about to take Shen Yue to leave. At this moment, a servant came in and said a few words in the ear of Kong Guozhang.

    "Is it Palace Master Shen who is here? Please come, please!"

    Then he turned his head, smiled, and said, "Nephew Xie, a distinguished guest is here. Speaking of which, the purpose of her visit this time has something to do with Shen Yue. Do you want to meet her?"

    "who is it?"

    "The master of the Peony Hall of the Dragon Girl Hall, Shen Ruotong."
