A pair of long chopsticks pierced the top of the jietang bun and tore it in half, revealing the delicious and te soup insideFan Xian took a spoon and scooped out the soup, placing it in the porcelain bowl in front of Da BaoHe then picked out the meat and placed it on top of Da Bao’s black bean noodles

“Xiao Xianxian, eat” Da Bao lowered his head and began his attack on the foodHe spoke unclearly but with unusual firmnessHis tone seemed to indicate that he was truly concerned that since Fan Xian had given the food to him, he would not be able to eat his fill

Fan Xian looked at his uncle and s bun’s delicate and white skinHe soaked it in his seaweed soup and then casually took a few bitesEver since he accepted a position in the First Bureau of the Overwatch Council, he liked to co Restaurant to eat bunsEach tiht Da BaoHe knew Da Bao only liked to eat theand was not interested in the skin of the bunsWhen the two of the at the happily eating Da Bao with sweat rolling down his face, Fan Xian’s heart suddenly twisted with pain for some reasonHe didn’t know if he would have the opportunity in the future to pass the days like this with his uncleHe liked being with Da BaoOnly in front of Da Bao could he truly relaxHe could tell him all his secrets and opinions of this world and not worry about hi him,

After today, he would probably never have another chance to eat buns again with Da BaoHe would never lie with hi how the stars of this world seemed to similar to the stars of that world

Fan Xian continued to look at Da Bao with a war the food tasteless, he pulled over the hand towel on the table and wiped away the oil on his handsTurning his head slightly, he looked at the two yah the second-floor rails of the Xinfeng Restaurant

The Qing Kingdom’s Supreme Court and the first branch of the Overwatch Council were both across fro Restaurant

As they there was little to do on duty, their workday ended earlyIt was still very earlyThe sun in the sky hiding behind the cold clouds had not even moved toward the northern side of the sky, yetout of the Supreme Court across the streetThese officials met up with the officials of other depart outside on the streetThey scattered through the street like birds and beasts, heading sodou’s delicious foodIt was not a crime to have some wine on the first day back on the jobPerhaps they would return straight hoot drunk

Unlike the Supreme Court, with asinister first branch of the Overwatch Council’s yahtly closedThere were few officials who enteredThere were no people of leisure walking around and laughingAn oppressive ath sorrowfully emanated from the CouncilFan Xian looked quietly at that familiar Council, the one in which he had been all-powerful, and knew exactly why this was

The Overwatch Council greeted the miserable wind and rainIts position in court had dropped a thousand leaguesParticularly in the previous month, many Overwatch Council officials had been seized by the Ministry of Justice and placed into the Supreme Court on soe spearheaded by the Imperial Censorate, but the Overwatch Council seeether any real strength to give a powerful counterattack

A wave of steady footsteps and self-sustaining laughter caht officials walked up fro officialsHowever, these officials did not go to the elegant rooms on the third floorInstead, under the owner’s lead, they ca to have screens put up and sit by the railing

In the past, Xinfeng Restaurant was not faht across from the Supreme Court and the First Bureau of the Overwatch Council, the officials always considered its standards too lowEven the elegant rooo furtherIt was not until Fan Xian often ca onRestaurantFrorace

Most of the officials who ca Restaurant were frouest of honor was the man who had just been transferred back to the capital froThe Supreme Court officials knew that this man, once one of Fan Xian’s four disciples, had noered himself and threw himself into the camp of Scholar He, who had been as equally famous as him back in the dayOnly then was there the wonderful event of being transferred directly into the Suprees in the affairs of life truly h

Secretly, the officials could not help but feel so’s betrayal of Fan XianHowever, no one illing to show it on their faceThis was Hou Jichang’s first day in the Supre everyone out to Xinfeng RestaurantIn order to give Scholar He face, even the deputy of the Supre, the officials prepared to sit downThe screens had not yet been raisedThey saw the table at the other end of the railingThere were only three people at that tableA guard-like person had clearly finished eating and atching alertly all aroundThe fataway at so co at the other end of the streetIt was just the back view of the figure, yet it ’s body froze instantlyThe hands showing outside his official robes shook involuntarilyIt was as if the cold wind outside had suddenly corroded away every inch of his skin

At first, the other officials of the Supreure and did not recognize his identityThus, they could not help but be shocked at Hou Jichang’s pale faceThey followed Hou Jichang’s gaze and looked over againFinally, they understood the reason for Hou Jichang’s fear

After a wave of aard heaviness, the deputy of the Supre’s shoulderIn a quiet voice, he co sat down uneasilyAfter a long tihed somewhat shamefullyIf this had been at any other time in the past, this entire table of officials would certainly have gone to that table to respectfully bow to Fan Xian and pay their respectsNow, not only did Fan Xian have no official positions, even his first-rank dukedom had been stripped by the EmperorHe had beco more than a commoner

This table of Suprewei’s direct subordinatesThey knew Sir Fan junior was on that side of the railing and they were on this side, so they could not leaveHow could an official give way to a commoner? How could the He faction, as presently in the li at Fan Xian’s present fallen appearance, these officials would not be so stupid as to ridicule hihtRecently, the Supre the Overwatch Council’s old cases and was right at the height of its grandnessThis was also the rip on Sir Fan junior’s fatal weaknessAs long as they did not actively bother hih to see out his own humiliation

For some reason, the screen had still not arrived by the tih the Supreme Court officials were somewhat unhappy, they could notface was a s happen with the three silent people at the other table was not so these officials wanted to see

“Today, we are welco Sir Hou into the Supreme CourtFroues…” With a smile, the deputy of the Supre ed to force a smile and also raised his wine cup, but he was very panicked in his heartHe understood Fan Xian, this teacher that was even younger than himHe had suddenly appeared across fro RestaurantWas it really just because he liked the buns at this restaurant?

Thinking of this, his hand treainFrolance at the three silent people by the railingHe kneho the fat one across from him wasIt was Lin Ruofu’s elder brother, the born simple Da BaoHe secretly prayed that since Sir Fan junior had brought him, he wasn’t there to make trouble

The deputy of the Supree behavior and furrowed his brows unhappilyEver since the previous deputy had been i had gone smoothly for him in this positionEven the Overwatch Council had to be careful around hi he needed to be afraid ofYes, everyone kneerful Sir Fan junior was, but would he be as unreasonably as to start cursing at them?

It was clear that the deputy was not pleased with Hou Jichang’s behaviorSlanting a gaze at the fat uessed his identityThe corners of his ave a despicable s out with his sidou people knew and the officials looked down onAlthough this deputy did not, and did not dare to, speaking ly to the

“Secondly, we are welco his position as the Iroup immediately erupted with noiseThe Imperial Censor of the Left was an i smiled boastfully and picked up his wine cup to offer toasts all aroundHowever, when his gaze landed on the other side of the railing, his expression beca

Before they had had three round of drinks, the three silent people at the other end of the railing had finished eatingFan Xian held Da Bao’s hand and headed toward the steps while Teng Zijing followed silently behind theo downstairs, so they had to pass by the table where the officials were gatheredUnexpectedly, all the officials at the table fell silent at the same timeWith a trace of nervousness, they waited for hioVery naturally, he came to the side of the table and looked at the officials with a smileThe deputy of the Supreht and stood with an aard s, he said, “So, it is Sir Fan junior, I…”

Only with the “I” did he realize sohtFan Xian was a commoner, and he was the proper deputy of the Supreme CourtYet, he was about to refer to himself as an inferior? The deputy stopped his previous words, steadied his heart, and said with a forced smile, “Would you like to sit for a while?”

Fan Xian shook his head with a s had already stood up in fear and bowed to Fan Xian with his head downCold sweat soaked through the back of his clothesFan Xian did not even glance at hiard that made everyone at the table feel a chill

Fan Xian did not look at Hou JichangInstead, he looked at the new I, and said in a quiet voice, “Three years ago, I was very curiousI had exiled you to Jiangnan and htLater, during the Jingdou rebellion, you clearly belonged to Xinyang, so why did the E you?”

“It was only later that I understoodYou saw that the situation was not good, so you abandonedwhat remained of your influence in the I” Fan Xian swei, that bastard, is a servant of three familiesNaturally, you opportunist learned a lot frowei’s position in the court was not one to scoff atWith Fan Xian’s devastating words, none of the officials at the table could stay seatedThey all rose abruptly to berate hiwei is not the servant of three familiesThe masters he served were all surna his head“I should say that he is a loyal dog of the Li family”
