Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

He arrived at the Dongyue Temple, only to find that Wang Qing had already squeezed into the temple hall and was helping the temple keeper light incense and candles, while his eyes kept glancing at the girl behind him.

As the saying goes, those in the same trade are often jealous of each other. As soon as Gao Zhao saw this fellow’s appearance, he knew that he had ulterior motives and immediately became even more disgusted with this scoundrel!

What kind of class do you have to be to share the same hobbies as me!

He secretly calculated that back in the brothel, he had only just begun to learn martial arts, and his physical attributes were poor, so he was naturally no match for him!

But now it's different. After many days of hard work, his physical condition has undergone tremendous changes, and his skills with spears and sticks have also made great progress.

Judging from Wang Qing's age, he couldn't possibly have any exceptional skills!

This fight is going to be good!

Moreover, even if he can't win, he can stand on the moral high ground to condemn the other party, and then have the people from Kaifeng Prefecture come and arrest him, and then let them deal with him according to the law!

Once the thought was made up in his mind, he immediately squeezed his way towards the main hall of the Yue Temple. When he got closer, he turned his head and looked at the girl, who was also shyly glancing at Wang Qing.

Oh! What a lovesick little devil you are! You look like a lady from a respectable family, yet you are so shameless!

That's perfect, let me expose your adulterous affair!

He was about to step forward and reprimand Wang Qing, seizing the moral high ground, when suddenly a guard stepped forward and slapped Wang Qing across the face, shouting sternly:

"How dare you! Do you know whose family these are? You, a ruffian soldier, dare to crowd around here? I'll tell my husband, and he'll make sure your donkey head is firmly on your neck!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the front hall of the Dongyue Temple, even causing the candlelight to flicker. The leaping flames illuminated Wang Qing's suddenly frozen face, making it appear both pale and bluish.

Wang Qing, who had been stealing glances at the girl under the pretense of offering incense, suddenly found a clear red five-finger mark on half of his cheek. Startled and frightened, he dared not say a word and fled, clutching his head.

Gao Zhao's steps suddenly stopped, and the astonishment in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.

He then gave the guard a deep look, thinking, "You scoundrel, how dare you ruin your grandfather's good deed!"

He originally intended to use this opportunity to beat up Wang Qing and show off his heroic nature in front of this young girl, thinking that with his own methods, seducing such a lovestruck woman would be a piece of cake.

But this guy messed everything up!

Gao Zhao glanced at the girl again. She had clear, bright eyes, like autumn water, cherry lips, naturally red, and an ethereal air, like a secluded orchid in a valley, making her unforgettable at first sight.

At this moment, Wang Qing was blushing slightly because the guard had exposed him, her cheeks flushed, a mixture of shyness and anger, making her extremely endearing!

This made Gao Zhao sigh. Such a pure-looking woman had a restless heart. Indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover!

However, isn't this contrast a wonderful thing? It's quite exciting to think about!

It's a pity that she has a lot of old women and guards around her, so it's not easy for me to make a move!

After glancing around a couple more times, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the outside of the Dongyue Temple. However, when he came out, Wang Qing was nowhere to be seen.

He paused and thought for a moment, then decided to take advantage of the two days he had to deal with Wang Qing, so that he wouldn't have to keep him in his heart.

Procrastination is unacceptable; one must learn self-discipline!

Do today's work today. Finish one thing at a time and put it to rest. Only then can you have peace of mind!

After a moment's thought, he grabbed a loafer on the street, and without caring whether the man knew Fu An or not, threw him a handful of money and ordered him to go and find the man.

He then sat down and waited at a tea stall.

The idler knew who he was and dared not be negligent, so he hurried away. After making several inquiries, he brought Fu An over.

Gao Zhao gave the idler some more money and waved him away.

Fu An hurriedly stepped forward, bowing with a smile and saying, "Your Excellency Fu An greets you!"

Gao Zhao sat at the tea stall, nodded, and said calmly, "Yes, I will be going to court to take up my official post in a couple of days!"

Fu An's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed again, saying, "Your humble servant greets Your Excellency."

"He's quite clever!" Gao Zhao smiled slightly, tapped his hand on the table, and then asked, "Do you know Wang Qing, the deputy platoon leader of Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Fu An blinked, thought for a moment, and then nodded quickly, saying, "I know him. Wang Qing's family was originally a wealthy household in the city. His father, Wang Hua, made his fortune by bribing officials and instigating lawsuits. He did countless immoral things over the years, and when Wang Qing was born, it was his just desserts."

"Wang Qing was the only son in his family. He was spoiled from a young age, and as he grew older, he became even more uncontrollable. He indulged in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, doing whatever he pleased. When his parents tried to discipline him, he would rebel and throw punches. The old couple had no choice but to let him run wild. In just a few years, he squandered his entire family fortune!"

"However, this fellow is quite skilled in martial arts. He has enjoyed practicing with spears and staffs since childhood, and he is tall and burly. He managed to secure a job in Kaifeng Prefecture thanks to his abilities. He is generous with his money and is quite popular among the soldiers!"

"Hmm, not bad!" Gao Zhao praised, then grabbed a handful of money and tossed it to Fu An, instructing, "Go and keep an eye on his movements. I'll send someone to meet you!"

Fu An hurriedly accepted the money. Gao Zhao hadn't contacted him for many days, and he had been living in poverty. He was naturally delighted to receive the money and quickly bowed to express his gratitude. After hearing Gao Zhao's instructions, he asked in surprise, "Young Master, has Wang Qing offended you?"

Gao Zhao glanced up at him and said calmly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"Yes!" Fu An hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. After a while, he tentatively asked, "Shall I go and do the work?"

Gao Zhao waved his hand, letting him leave. After sitting for a while, he found a carriage and headed straight for Shi Qian's residence in the outer city.

As Gao Zhao passed by Lin Chong's house, he struggled with his thoughts but ultimately gave up the idea of ​​greeting his sister-in-law. He was so self-disciplined and self-controlled!

My sister-in-law is right there, she can't run away. It's not too late to go see her after Lin Chong leaves in a few days. But Wang Qing helped Guo Weizhe deal with me back then. If I don't avenge this, it will be like a fishbone stuck in my throat!

Upon meeting Shi Qian, he explained his deep-seated hatred for Wang Qing, only to hear Shi Qian's face reveal a complex and unspeakable expression...

Is this what you call enmity? I'm even from your perspective, and I don't think you've suffered any loss!

"So you'll understand me when we're old, right?" Gao Zhao looked at him hopefully.

Shi Qian didn't know what to say; he couldn't empathize with her at all!

But looking into his eyes, what could he say? He could only shout in righteous indignation, "This scoundrel is truly despicable! How dare he humiliate the young master like this! I'll go and hack him to death right now!"

"No, no, no!" Gao Zhao waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "We're not those bandits, don't just kill people at the drop of a hat, and I'm not a psychopath! You go and keep an eye on him, find his weaknesses, and then we'll deal with him severely according to the laws of the Song Dynasty!"

Shi Qian nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that officials were indeed ruthless! Not only could they harm others without breaking the law, but they might even gain merit. He should also change his thinking to keep up with the changing times!

After finishing these tasks, Gao Zhao returned home and had his third wife play some more games, which they enjoyed quite a bit.

Two days later, Shi Qian reported that an old woman had come looking for Wang Qing to act as a pimp, which pleased Wang Qing greatly.

Gao Zhao was overjoyed; his opportunity had arrived!
