"There's a turmoil in Chang'an City. A large amount of counterfeit money has appeared in the city. The Six Gates are now in charge of the case. Someone from the Bad People is also involved. I have asked Li Zhi for a job for you. You can get involved. I hope you can perform well."

"Too many people are waiting to laugh at me. You have to help me slap them in the face." After Wu Zhao said this with all her might, she fell softly on Wu Ming's chest.

In the evening, Wu Mingxin walked out of the palace. He had been staying in the palace for the past few days, but today he finally came out. He rubbed his old waist subconsciously. Led by his attendants, Wu Ming went to his new home in this world.

…………

Chapter 5: Ruthless and Dirty

Wu Zhao really cared about him. Although Wu Ming was now single, she had been given a top-notch mansion with numerous pavilions, beautiful flowers, plants and rockery covering a vast area.

All the attendants were arranged in an orderly manner.

This mansion originally belonged to Prime Minister Chu Suiliang, a fourth-rank official. After Wang was deposed and Wu was enthroned, Prime Minister Chu Suiliang was demoted, and many officials were implicated, some were killed and some were exiled. Without the people, the house naturally became vacant, which also helped Wu Ming.

Wu Ming, lying on the bed, did not rush to sleep. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed with his bare chest, and opened the system panel.

System: Harmony between a loving couple.

Host: Wu Ming (his physical body traveled across time and space, and his physiological age was restored to eighteen).

Specialties: Specialties.

Completed: Wu Zhao, Passerby A;

Rewards: Complete Four-Point Divine Art and Fancy Kung Fu.

The three words "passerby A" came from the system's malice and had nothing to do with Wu Ming. In fact, he was not really a passerby A. It could only be said that he had never appeared in the movies, TV shows, or literature of his previous life, but was maliciously given the name of passerby A by the system.

She was originally the concubine of a certain official in the city of Chang'an. She was seduced by the disguised Wu Ming and used as a test subject. The purpose was to try whether this nameless system would give any reward.

In fact, the system still gave rewards, but the rewards were really not worth mentioning.

This thing is just fancy moves, if we change its name, it will be called the criminal's excited punch.

With Wu Ming's current accumulation of martial arts, he can easily perform hundreds of sets of moves, and none of them are the same again. It seems that his future targets will have to be those famous women, the so-called characters with inherent luck.

It's a pity that Wu Ming originally planned to use the imprisoned Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao as an experiment. Unfortunately, before he could do anything, Wu Zhao discovered the clue and gave him a small warning.

Now I think about it, it was because I was too wild and didn't think things through. There are many hidden talents in the palace, if I do this, I might be discovered, and then there is a high possibility that I will lose my life.

After retracting the system panel, Wu Ming clapped his hands. Without hearing any movement at the door, a woman appeared in front of Wu Ming's bed.

The woman was wrapped in a purple slim-fitting semi-metal combat suit with white stripes. Her legs and right arm were wrapped in fish-scale metal armor, and she wore a pair of white socks on her feet. There was a fish-like pattern on the high raised breastplate, which echoed the sword in her hand.

"Bring me the files on the counterfeit money case."

"Yes!" The woman responded coldly, and the next moment her figure faded and disappeared from Wu Ming's sight again.

"Still a cold beauty." Wu Ming looked at the place where the other party disappeared and chuckled. Since there are Gai Nie Wei Zhuang in this world, there must be Luo Wang. And Luo Wang fell into Wu Zhao's hands at some point.

The woman before was Luowang’s number one killer Jingwei. She is now Wu Ming’s subordinate and temporarily holds the position of leader.

Wu Ming had no idea whether others knew that Wu Zhao had all these forces. He only knew that his own Mei Niang was a caring person and understood his preferences very well. This Jing Niang was very beautiful. Although she was a cold beauty who could only be looked at but not eaten, even looking at her would make one feel good, right?

"Grand Chamberlain, these are all the files related to the counterfeit currency case."

Just as Wu Ming was lost in thought, Jingwei appeared with the file in his arms, his voice as cold as ever.

"Put the file down, change your clothes after you go down, and wear casual clothes when you are with me from now on. This kind of armor is not very convenient."

"Yes, sir!" Jingwei responded. If Wu Zhao had not saved her, neither she nor the child in her belly would have been saved.

She was a killer, but a compassionate killer. From then on, she would carry out Wu Zhao's orders unswervingly. Wu Zhao asked her to obey Wu Ming, so Wu Ming's words were the will of the gods to her, and she would faithfully carry them out no matter whether they were reasonable or unreasonable.

This is Jingwei. If this happened in later generations, if a superior gave such an order and encountered an extreme woman, the men would definitely say, "Family, these men are really humble."

…………

In the evening of the next day, in a restaurant called Zuiyuelou in Changlefang, Yanfu District, Chang'an, Wu Ming appeared here, accompanied by Jingwei who had changed into casual clothes.

There has been a saying since ancient times that it is not easy to live in an imperial capital. If you want to open a large restaurant in the prosperous area of ​​Chang'an City, it is impossible without background and connections.

This Changlelou, of course, has a background and connections, and they are big connections and a big background. The current Taifu, the Divine Marquis Zhuge Zhengwo, is the man behind the beautiful lady who owns this restaurant.

Li Zhi relied heavily on this Taifu and allowed him to open another mansion outside the Six Gates, which was the so-called Shenhou Mansion.

Wu Ming came here not to stroll around, of course. Last night he thoroughly checked the files of the counterfeit currency case, and one of the pieces of information indicated that someone would be here tonight to trade the coin template of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

As the plot became familiar to him, he even relied on his memory to directly identify the person behind the coin minting case as the head of the An family, An Shigeng. However, after thinking of Jing Wei beside him, Wu Ming gave up the idea of ​​quick success.

The world of martial arts is always complicated. Who knows whether the plots in memory have undergone any major changes in this world.

Wu Ming naturally didn't dare to gamble. In his first battle after his debut, he had to do well. Only by doing well would he have the opportunity to do well in the future. Wu Ming naturally knew this.

Wu Ming strolled into Zuiyue Tower and went straight to the second floor without waiting for the waiter to come up to serve him.

You can see far if you stand high. Besides, the first floor is a mixed bag and the food is not good, which Wu Ming does not like. The most important thing is that there is a little beauty in a wheelchair on the second floor. Being with a beauty always makes people happy.

Wu Ming's steps were steady. Ever since he perfected the Four-Illumination Technique, he always had an aura as heavy as a mountain.

Wuqing has the ability to read minds. She has seen many people, some good, some evil, some noble, some dirty. No one can escape her eyes. But today, an accident happened to Wu Ming.

Although he was young and looked like an ordinary person, she could not see through his thoughts. Women were always more curious than men, and she mobilized her spirit mercilessly, spreading her invisible and intangible spiritual power towards Wu Ming.

And her eyes just happened to meet Wu Ming who came to the second floor.

Just one glance and Wuqing was dirty. It was because Wu Ming saw that the girl was too tired to read her mind, so he just played an uncensored movie in her mind, and the protagonists were Wu Ming and herself.

In the picture, the familiar wheelchair became a hotbed, and her disabled legs were spread apart. The man kept bumping into it, and the wheelchair kept shaking, directly making the girl's face red.

In order to make the picture more realistic, Wuqing who appeared in Wu Ming's mind was not fully clothed. After all, his figure was impossible to measure with the naked eye when he was wearing loose clothes.

The only thing that comforted Wuqing was that the abalone in the picture did not match his own size. It could only be said that Wuqing was worthy of his name and his observation was very meticulous.

…………

Chapter 6: Family

"blow!"

The sound of hidden weapons whistling and breaking through the air was heard. It was because Wuqing was so angry and ashamed that he could not hold back his thoughts and was ready to attack Wu Ming.

But before she could actually make a move, an old man with his beard tied into a pigtail walked out of a private room in the restaurant and eliminated the ruthless hidden weapon with a wave of his hand.

"Wuqing, what makes you like this?"

"Uncle Shi."

"Wu Ming meets Lord Zhuge. I had a small friction with Miss Wuqing. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing me." Seeing Zhuge Zhengwo appear, Wu Ming greeted him politely and revealed his identity.

This is very important. We are all family. It is not good if we fight among ourselves.

Before Wu Zetian became the emperor, everyone was absolutely on the same side, at least on the surface. Not long after Wu Zetian was made the empress, the empress's confidants started fighting with the emperor's people. Wouldn't that make outsiders laugh? Besides, fighting now would also affect solving the case.

"It's the Grand Lord. Please come in and sit down. Wuqing is a very curious child. We are the ones who are rude!" Zhuge Zhengwo invited Wu Ming magnanimously. Wu Ming was not polite and walked towards the box with Jingwei. When he passed Wuqing, he grinned silently at the woman who was biting her lip.

"Miss Wuqing, it's easy to suffer a great loss if you casually probe into other people's hearts. Be careful next time."

"Hmph... you lecher."

She gritted her teeth and wished she could beat Wu Ming to death. At this moment, she naturally understood that the man with a fake smile in front of her was much stronger than her, and she was the one being fooled from the beginning to the end.

Thinking about how her uncle had called him the Grand Chief before, Wuqing understood even more clearly that she was bound to suffer this loss. However, she didn't know that after meeting Wu Ming this time, she would not only suffer losses, but she would also suffer more.

Wuqing's mind-reading is not omnipotent. Her mind-reading skills are only effective on strangers, and the other party's strength must not be much stronger than hers.

Wu Ming has the strength of a mid-stage grandmaster, while Wuqing is only at the innate level. If it doesn't work after reading it once, she can just give up. But she insists on reading it again. She deserves to be defiled.

"Counterfeit currency case, any news from the Divine Marquis Mansion?"

"The Divine Marquis's Mansion has it. Didn't the Inner Guard have it a long time ago? The news from our two houses is synchronized, otherwise the Grand Master would not be here at this time."

"Shen Hou, you are wrong. I can't come to support Jiao Niang. As a businessman, we should welcome guests from all over the world. We can't just entertain Shen Hou's family."

After these words were spoken, Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Wu Ming seriously. He always felt that Wu Ming seemed to have something else to say, but considering the age difference between Wu Ming and Jiao Niang, he still felt that he had lost his state of mind and was overthinking.

Little did he know that with his level of kung fu, he would always be able to sense the coming of autumn before the cicadas blow. Sometimes, he should trust his sixth sense.

Wu Ming was really interested in Jiao Niang. He suddenly thought of one thing: a person's luck is not constant. Jiao Niang's luck after she followed Zhuge Zhengwo must be different from her before.

In other words, if the concubine he had used for experiments before had not had a husband who was an official, the system might not even give her the fancy moves.

As for whether Jiao Niang is too old, it is not a problem actually. Zhuge Zhengwo has a certain status. No matter how honest and upright he is, Jiao Niang can enjoy resources that ordinary people cannot enjoy if she follows him. Jiao Niang, who is in her forties, looks like an ordinary woman in her thirties at most.

Besides, isn’t there an old saying that old clams quench thirst?

"Uncle, more and more forces are entering Zuiyue Tower." Just as Wu Ming and Zhuge Zhengwo were exchanging witticisms, Tie Shou walked in from outside the door, pushing Wuqing.

"All those people are here?"

"Jiangnan Road, Hua Manlou, the seventh son of the Hua family, brought the chivalrous detective Lu Xiaofeng."

"The Imperial Merchant Hua Family?"

"Exactly."

"anything else?"

"Jiang Longluoma of the Six Gates, and Leng Xue, the adopted son of the God Catcher..."

"Oh! Did the target appear?"

"Jia San has already appeared. He is being chased by a debt collector. The two of them are drinking at the same table."

"This Zhui Ming sounds familiar." Zhuge Zhengwo had a strong curiosity about this unexpected person.

"I do know a little about this person. Zhui Ming is an outlier among debt collectors. He is a debt collector but he never pushes people too much. If someone is really in trouble, he will choose to pay out of his own pocket. He likes wine the most and has unparalleled light and leg skills."

"What a unique debt collector." Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes lit up. Wu Ming knew that he had the idea of ​​​​recruiting talents, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up into a smile. Zhui Ming is a talent and is indeed suitable for the Shenhou Mansion. To Wu Ming, the Shenhou Mansion is now his own person, because when Jingwei retrieved the files last night, the Shenhou Mansion was the most cooperative.

The Plum Blossom Inner Guards were newly established and are not mature yet. The Divine Marquis Mansion, which was also newly established, is a good target. Zhui Ming is a good person but his personality is too unruly and he is not suitable for the Plum Blossom Inner Guards.

Under such circumstances, I would push the responsibility of chasing Ming to Zhuge Zhengwo and do him a small favor. When I try to trick him in the future, I will be doing it out of chivalry.

As for friends, Wu Ming doesn't need them. If he sleeps with Wuqing or even Jiaoniang, he may get certain system rewards. What can he get by being friends?

No matter how good my relationship with Zhuge Zhengwo is, can he pass on all his skills to me?

People have to live for themselves, there's nothing wrong with being a little selfish.

Besides, we don't necessarily have to be enemies in the end. A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover. Just cheat people secretly. It would be really awesome if I could sleep with these two and gain Zhuge Zhengwo's friendship at the same time.

Wu Zhao will become an emperor sooner or later, and as her man, it is my duty to win over some helpers as soon as possible.
