44 The Fall of Censor Zhang Yiqi (2/2)

As the maidservant, Xiaocao, was too busy serving Mistress Jian, she happily took the box of honey dates handed over by Ning Que and left. Ning Que grinned at her as he continued to lean on the railing and looked around the brothel.

Thinking that it was almost the time, he familiarly walked to the staircase at the back and made his way to the side door by walking in the shadow. He then discovered the horse carriage with the marking he had made previously. As he casually walked over to the horse carriage, he exerted a force using his palm at the shaft.

The horse that stood in front of the shaft turned and looked at him in doubt as it snorted loudly. Ning Que had lived in the City of Wei for many years and had been an experienced robber in the grassland. Hence, he was an expert in handling horses. He casually slapped the horse's butt once and that horse immediately became tamed as it comfortably tapped its hind legs on the ground.

The bodyguard, who was waiting at the eating house in the alley, subconsciously looked at the direction of the horse carriage. When he saw no one, he continued to lower his head and enjoyed his meal with the remaining dishes on the plates.

Every courtyard came with a wooden bathtub, but whenever Zhang Yiqi was done with business, he would head over to the sauna house beside the side door for a bath due to a sense of inferiority from within. Scrubbing of his back would make him feel energized again, and the individual room in the sauna house made him feel safe. Moreover, it was convenient since he could board his horse carriage at the doorstep the moment he was done with the bath.

His plan for today was the same. After a bath, the censor wore a pair of silk trousers and lay on the bed wrapped with cotton cloth as he habitually waited for the old lady to scrub his back.

Since the scrubbing of back required refined salt, milk and wood oil, the old lady would need some time to prepare for them. Hence, Ning Que was fully prepared and was only waiting for the right time to launch his attack. While waiting, he could not help but recall the beautiful scenarios he saw at the small courtyard. He then thought of Dewdrop's delicate skin and he started to feel warm again, just at that time, there was a hatred and evil expression on his face.

Today, Dewdrop had once again rejected Zhang Yiqi's request of serving him alone, which made him feel terrible as he scolded softly. ”She's just a rotten bitch played by many men, how dare she arrogantly reject me? I've spent lots of silvers on you and yet you don't even appreciate at all. What a heartless woman.”

”Is she despising me for my rank? Women are indeed dumb. As a censor of Sixth Rank, should I be relocated to any of the department, I would definitely be promoted to the Fourth Rank. No! I would be of the Third Rank!”

Just then, the door was pushed open.

A person entered the room with soft footsteps, heading towards the side of the bed.

Zhang Yiqi stopped his cursing as he shut his eyes and prepared to enjoy the scrubbing. As a warm towel was spread out and placed on his back, he could not help but moan in relaxation.

Then he instantly stopped moaning.

This was because another hot towel was squeezed directly into his mouth as both his hands and legs were tied tightly to the small bed.
