Zhui Feng didn't care much whether the other party was an upright and good official, nor did he care whether he loved the people as his own son. It was enough for him to know that the other party had no such thoughts about the people he wanted to protect.
He was ordered by his master to guard the queen. If he guarded the queen but sent his wife to another man, how could he face his master
After listening to Wufu's words, Shen Ning said without any hesitation: "Let's go, take me to the Yamen."
Wufu's face showed joy and he should lead the way first.
Zhui Feng only hesitated for a moment before following behind Shen Ning.

Zhou Zhongkang returned to the county government office and entered the study room in one breath. He felt that his heart was pounding non-stop.
He walked to the window, opened it, and saw that the courtyard was filled with sunlight, and the beautiful bamboos looked particularly tall and green.
This bamboo forest is his favorite on weekdays. Because he likes the character of bamboo, he plants green bamboos in the yard. He often walks in the bamboo forest and thinks about difficult problems.
Listening to the rustle of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest often allowed him to quickly get rid of distracting thoughts and calm down.
But today this trick didn't work.
He was holding his favorite book in his hand. He had walked three times in the bamboo forest, but he still couldn't calm down and think carefully.
Originally, he wanted to go through what happened today in his heart, because what happened on this day was more complicated and exciting than what he had experienced this year.
But he was always distracted.
There was only one sentence that kept turning over and over in his mind.
What if, if she were not a woman!
Then he doesn't have to be timid about what others say. He can talk to her heart-to-heart and become friends with her...
From the first time I saw her, she was wearing tattered clothes and her face was so dirty that it was almost impossible to see her true face. She was as poor and dirty as a beggar.
Others looked at her with contempt, but he didn't mean to look down on her at all.
He was surprised by her intelligence, and even more admired that she came up with the ingenious way to determine that the copper coins were sold for pork.
At that time, he had an idea in his mind. If she was homeless, she could come to his house temporarily. He was willing to provide her with a place to stay.
Although his salary is not much, as long as she has a mouthful of food from him, she will never go hungry.
But he was worried about meeting by chance, and he said such words rashly, which was superficial and deep, and he was afraid that no girl would agree, so he swallowed it back.
After solving Wang Yuanwai's case, Zhou Zhongkang thought about it and decided to put aside all scruples, find her, and propose an invitation to her.
He knew that she was so smart that she would be of great help to him. He also knew that she had the same sense of justice and revenge as him, and she would be willing to stay and help him solve these old cases.
What he could give her was a comfortable and stable residence and a salary that was not very generous.
But all the words he said were swallowed back in his stomach the moment he saw her.
Facing such a radiant girl, he knew that there was no need to say anything else, as it would be nonsense.
It was absolutely impossible for her to agree.
She is not a homeless beggar at all. She has put on new clothes and exudes a noble and independent aura like an orchid in an empty valley. A girl like her is enough to impress everyone who sees her. , all want to hold her in the palm of their hands and care for her.
