Hearing the sound of Li Quan's footsteps outside the door, Zhu Feng turned around and said in a deep voice: "What did you make a noise below just now?"

"ah?"

Li Quan was shocked. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor had such good ears. He sat in the private room on the second floor and the door was closed. He could hear him clamoring on the first floor.

He hurriedly said, "Master, the youngest, the youngest went to urge the kitchen to serve the dishes."

Zhu Feng frowned slightly, and then said, "Try to be more at ease and don't attract attention."

Li Quan immediately said, "I know."

Zhu Feng turned around and saw Nan Yan sitting beside him holding the teacup in front of him in both hands. The tea swayed slightly with her hands, as if her eyes were constantly flashing.

She turned her head and said to Zhu Feng: "Emperor"

Zhu Feng frowned at her.

Nan Yan understood and immediately changed his words: "Master, that Earth Immortal Society, may it pose a threat to the court?"

“…”

"I know that ordinary folk incense clubs mainly absorb the elderly. They are kind-hearted and have free time. More importantly, they are easy to pay, but this Earth Immortal Club does not have to pay the membership fee at all, and they also take the initiative to share land with others. This is a bit suspicious. Now, they are still absorbing young and middle-aged people into the association."

Zhu Feng said softly: "What did you see?"

Nan Yan said: "The court asked the people to serve in the military every year, which required so many young and middle-aged people."

“…”

"Also, the emperor has read so many books for me. Many powerful clans have recruited soldiers from ancient times, and they have also recruited a large number of young and middle-aged people in this way."

“…”

"Although the Jinyiwei has not found out what they are going to do, but to recruit so many people, if these people really obey their orders and the incense master, as long as the people above raise their arms and shout, these people will inevitably cause trouble."

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "Well, the books I have read these days have not been in vain."

Nan Yan opened his eyes wide and looked at him: "Really?"

Zhu Feng let out a deep breath and said, "No matter what their purpose is, a folk incense club can take out so much land to distribute to the people. This is already a doubt. Now, they have recruited so many young and middle-aged people."

“…”

"This is absolutely not allowed by the imperial court."

Nan Yan opened his eyes wide: "Then, is the court going to take any measures against them?"

“…”

Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, but shook his head gently.

"Um?"

Nan Yan was stunned and was about to ask him when he heard Li Quan's voice coming from the door: "Why did we send it up? Our master and wife have been waiting for a long time!"

She immediately shut her mouth.

The waiter outside walked in with a smile, put plates of dishes on the table, and kept nodding and bowing: "Let the two distinguished guests wait for a long time, please use it slowly."

Zhu Feng said lightly: "Go down."

"yes."

The waiter left the private room, breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Nanyan has always been very greedy, and she didn't have lunch on time today, so she was already hungry at this time. However, when faced with the fresh dishes on the table, she did not turn on her chopsticks immediately, but stared at Zhu Feng.

He whispered: "Master..."

Zhu Feng was silent for a while before saying, "No for the time being."

"Don't do anything to them?"

Nan Yan blinked his eyes, immediately understood, and said, "The Emperor wants to find out what force is behind this Earth Immortal Association, right?"

Zhu Feng said: "I have said a long time ago that there are not so generous people. I will take out the land and distribute it to others for free. Now, seeing him recruiting many young and middle-aged people like this, it can be seen that his heart is different."

“…”

"It is easy to deal with these people, but to find out the people behind it, it is the bottom of the fire."

Nan Yan nodded gently: "I understand."

Zhu Feng thought about it again, then turned to her and said, "Okay, let's eat first, don't wait until the food is cold. We should go back after we finish eating."

Nan Yan picked up the chopsticks and chuckled softly: "Fortunately Chen Zixiao is not in the capital, otherwise, the emperor and I might not be like this."

Zhu Feng glared at her.

But I couldn't help but smile and urged, "Eat quickly."

However, in Baoningfang, which is a bit far away from Jing'anfang, the Li Mansion is as quiet as ever.

Only a few servants gathered in the corridor and spoke in a slight manner.

One of the maids came over, and the tea tray in his hand covered half of his face, but could not cover the smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. The other maids immediately greeted her: "Come here quickly, have you gone to serve tea to the master?"

The maid nodded: "Yes."

"I heard that Miss Xie is here again, right?"

"Yes, I just went to serve her tea."

"You guys, who is this Miss Xie? Why do you always run to our mansion? Judging from her appearance, she must be unmarried."

"Everyone is called Miss Xie, so of course I am not married."

"Why are the unmarried lady still running around like this? She doesn't see her family taking care of her."

"I want me to tell you that she came to us every day just to get out of the house."

"You mean, she wants to marry our master?"

"Who said no? Look, our master has been moving into this house these days, and he has no friend or relative, only Miss Xie interacts with him. Moreover, our master does not say a word on weekdays, and only says a few words when he is with Miss Xie."

"It seems that they are really."

Several people were talking in a low voice. The butler Wang Sheng had already come over and pointed at them and said, "Don't talk nonsense here, be careful to let the master hear it, cut your tongue!"

Several servants immediately dispersed.

Wang Sheng was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly saw a small figure walking towards the gate. He looked up at the plaque on the gate, and then prepared to walk in.

Wang Sheng immediately walked out and looked carefully and found that he was a seven or eight-year-old beggar.

He immediately frowned: "What are you doing? Are you here too? Get out!"

The little beggar pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the most evil? I'm here to pass on a message to your master. If you let me go, don't blame me if you can't get it."

Wang Sheng was stunned: "Transfer the message? What words are you sending? Who asked you to deliver the message?"

"I want to see your master."

After saying that, he thought about it again and said, "Your master is surnamed Li, right? This is Li's Mansion, right?"

Seeing that he was talking about something with his nose and eyes, Wang Sheng was a little hesitant.

After all, he knew that his master was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he was appointed by the emperor. Although he was of noble status, his work was very complicated and he couldn't explain it clearly in a sentence or two. Maybe this little beggar had something important to say.
