Chapter 133 (1/2)

In reality, other than Housekeeper Wen feeling sick, Fang Zhengzhi sitting at the strange corner also didn't feel very well. Or, it could be said that he felt extremely sick.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't believe that with Chi Guyan's intelligence, she would suddenly choose such an unimportant matter to discuss in such an important setting.

Hence…

There was only one possibility.

Chi Guyan did it on purpose!

What was her purpose? First, casually point him out, then, find an opportunity to attack him? Or, directly order him to be arrested?

This was the Divine Constabulary?

Where am I supposed to run to…?

Fang Zhengzhi thought about the winding road when he entered, and a sense of helplessness rose inside his heart. Not mentioning how well-guarded the Divine Constabulary was, even if he really was allowed to run, he probably wouldn't even be able to run out within an hour.

The entire atmosphere of the feast suddenly became strange, and everybody's gaze instinctively fell on Fang Zhengzhi who was in the strange corner.

They naturally saw Fang Zhengzhi.

But, they didn't understand, he was just a double roll champion of the capital examination, why did he deserve Chi Guyan's attention?

Beads of sweat had already formed on Housekeeper Wen's forehead at this moment, and he pondered quickly in his heart.

What was wrong?

Not serving him properly? That's not true, I had personally served him, furthermore, I had even specially instructed the people below to prevent any incident in which Fang Zhengzhi would be mocked because of this status.

Then…

Position?!

Housekeeper Wen suddenly realised a huge problem, but this problem wasn't related to him. Because, the seating arrangement in the Divine Constabulary feast was personally ordered by Chi Hou to sit based on status.

Even though Fang Zhengzhi was the capital examination double roll champion, but his status was still a civilian, a civilian villager.

But, even though this was so, if there was really something that Chi Guyan was unsatisfied about, then he would definitely be the person who got into trouble.

Not Chi Hou.

”Missus, please forgive me. My arrangement was wrong, I am willing to pay for my mistake!” Housekeeper Wen knew that this moment that arguing would definitely result in a heavier punishment than confession.

”What mistake does Housekeeper Wen admit to?” Chi Guyan's voice rang out again. It was very calm.

”This… is… because of the seating arrangement…” Housekeeper Wen instinctively looked at Chi Hou, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead like rain.

When Chi Hou saw the look Housekeeper Wen gave him, he had also more or less understood. However, this seating arrangement was personally ordered by him, if he had admitted this now, based on Chi Guyan's personality...

When he reached this thought, Chi Hou gave Housekeeper Wen a very motivating look, then, slowly turned his head to the side.

When Housekeeper Wen saw Chi Hou's actions, his heart instantly fell to the bottom of a valley.

He knew…

It was time for him to bear the consequences.

”As the saying goes: Meritocracy is key. My Divine Constabulary that protected the Northern Desert with our army, and defended against the Northern barbarians had never depended on judging people based on the family in which they were born. This mistake that Housekeeper Wen has committed today is no small crime!” Chi Guyan continued.

”I admit my mistake, and hope that Missus can take into account my years of service to remove my housekeeper appointment, then fine me three years of annual salary!” Housekeeper Wen knew that he had to bear the consequences, hence, naturally took the initiative to suggest his punishment.

”Yes, it's fine as long as you know you are in the wrong. Go and make further arrangements!” At this moment, Chi Hou finally spoke.

To have someone to bear the consequences was naturally a comfortable thing. Chi Hou definitely knew that Chi Guyan was just bringing up a topic, now, they could finally enter the main issue at hand.

”Roger!” When Housekeeper Wen heard this, he instantly felt as if he had been granted great amnesty, and instantly prepared to carry on.

”Wait a moment!” At this moment, Chi Guyan suddenly stood up.

”I'll go personally!”

Once the words left her mouth, all the officials and scholars in the feast were completely stunned.

The Divine Constabulary's feast invited the officials from the five capitals of the Northern Desert, and also the scholars from all around. Before the start of the feast, Chi Guyan leveraged on Fang Zhengzhi's incident to demonstrate the Divine Constabulary's resolve to value meritocracy.

This move was naturally intended to win the hearts of the people.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, the Divine Constabulary had already laid out this plan, hence, this wasn't something that caused people to feel too shocked.

But, Chi Guyan personally going over, the meaning behind this was now completely different.

Who was Chi Guyan? She was the Great Xia Dynasty's true number one talented girl, the Double Dragon Roll Champion that shocked the world, the future number one marshal of the Great Xia Dynasty. Having such a status, yet personally inviting a scholar who had only just pa.s.sed the capital examination?

No matter how they viewed the situation, it still didn't seem as simple as bringing up a topic.

A trace of shock also flashed across Chi Hou's face at this moment.

He was very fond of and loving towards Chi Guyan. Or, it could be said that without Chi Guyan, it was still reasonable to say that he might not even be in such a stable position of power today.

When he heard Chi Guyan's attempt to win the hearts of the people, he also understood very well Chi Guyan's intentions, but now…

He didn't quite understand.

From what he remembered, the Great Xia Dynasty didn't consist of much people whom Chi Guyan would personally invite. Does it matter if he was King Duan? The imperial prince had waited more than ten days in the Divine Constabulary, yet, Chi Guyan hadn't even met him once.

If one had to think of someone whom Chi Guyan would invite personally, that might only be Nangong Hao.

But who was Nangong Hao?

The true number one scholar in the Great Xia Dynasty, Heavenly Reflection Peak Stage, occupying the first place in the Hidden Dragon Roll the moment he came out, then, occupying the first place in the Rising Dragon Roll.

If it wasn't for Chi Guyan, perhaps, he would truly be the brightest star in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Compared to such a great genius like Nangong Hao, what abilities and character did Fang Zhengzhi have? He was just a double roll champion of a capital examination, and only had the ability of Star Conglomerate State, at most, he would be at the Star Conglomerate Peak Stage.

He might be able to be among the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Roll, but, on the Rising Dragon Roll, there were so many Heavenly Reflection States, who would even pay any attention to a youth who hadn't even reached the Heavenly Reflection State?
