Chapter 2, Checking into the Wang Residence (3).

Looking at it, Chu Chu was stunned. Zhao Steward's face also eased down. Seeing her tears still falling down, he couldn't help but coax, "Actually, the prince is quite good. Didn't he find you a place to settle down in the capital? It's just that he has a stubborn temper. Even the emperor treats him respectfully. If you don't provoke him, everything will be fine..."

Understood.

Wu Jiang was waiting for her, hoping for a sudden inspiration to reveal the purpose of her visit. Just then, Chu Chu exclaimed as if she had discovered a great secret, "Why are you carrying a lantern in broad daylight!"

You're welcome, you're welcome...

Just remembered the two sentences I said about Prince An in the examination room just now were not good. Chu Chu's heart panicked, took two steps back, and said, "Why did you come here?"

I dare not, I dare not.

Of course she remembers, it was the knife that Jingyi was holding when they met yesterday.

Wu Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Miss Chu, I am Wu Jiang. I have been entrusted by Lord Jingyi to find a place for you to stay in the capital."

Chuchu, who had already walked 180,000 li away, was suddenly called back by a small commotion. Surprised, she stopped and found a tall man holding a horse had followed her without her noticing, and was staring straight at her small flower bundle.

Halfway through Chu Chu's words, Steward Zhao kept waving his hands. When Chu Chu finished her last sentence, Steward Zhao was about to jump up, his beard twitching. His calm and gentle demeanor changed completely. "Oh my! Miss Chu, please don't mention these Six Sects again! They are all made up by storytellers who wander around outside. They are not real. How could such a clever girl like you take those storytellers' words seriously?"

You still say!

Wu Jiang's corner of the mouth twitched, this little girl has a very good memory...

Chuchu put down her burden and took a few steps closer to Zhao's steward. She stared at his wrinkled face and said, "Steward, you have been in the Anwang Mansion for many years, haven't you?"

Chuchu was so excited that she couldn't find her way, "This is the first time I've ever seen a living bounty hunter!"

Mr. Zhao felt dizzy and had a headache for a while. If it were any other matter, Chu Chu would cry and make a fuss, and he would definitely say some sweet words to comfort her. Unfortunately, this matter couldn't go along with her.

Wu Jiang clasped his hands together and said to Steward Zhao, "Please take care of things for me. I still have some unfinished business to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

She was thinking just now that if it weren't for the fact that this Lord An is the leader of the Six Doors, how could her brother, the famous detective, serve as his guard and even live in his house!

If you can't enter the Six Ministries...

Yes, yes...

If I fail the exam this time, I will have to find another way to enter the Six Ministries. But if I really fail, doesn't it mean that I am not qualified enough to enter the Six Ministries with my abilities? What other options do I have?

Wujiang seems to have become completely numb to the words "Divine Constable" and "I am also the prince's guard."

No wonder Jingyi wanted him to say everything at once as soon as he came up...

This is not storytelling at all, she is clearly storytelling...

Wu Jiang hurriedly brought Chu Chu in front of Zhao, the steward of the Wang Mansion, and said, "Chu Chu, this is Zhao, the steward of the Wang Mansion. Listen to his arrangements and don't wander around in the mansion."

Jingyi said that she would do whatever she was told to do.

Seeing that Housekeeper Zhao was still dazed, Chu Chu hurriedly said, "I know about the Six Doors! The Six Doors are in the capital city. I also know what they look like. They face north and have three entrances. There are six black lacquered doors, with two stone lions standing in front of the doors. Two officials stand under the doors, and there is a black wooden plaque above the doors with the words 'Six Doors' in golden letters."

Chuchu felt that the courtyard in front of her didn't look anything like the Six Doors, but rather like the residence of a wealthy family. "Big brother, where are we?"

Chuchu wiped away two tears, looked up with a cute cat face, pouted with a crying tone and said, "So... what exactly is the official position of that lord? Why is he so powerful?"

Wu Jiang smiled, sheathed his sword, mounted his horse, and extended his hand to Chuchu, saying, "Will you come with me now?"

The exam is over, but she feels that it's even more difficult to endure now than before the exam.

Before Wu Jiang could finish speaking, Steward Zhao waved his hand and calmly said, "Lord Jing has already given instructions... Everything has been arranged. It's in the guest room in your courtyard, right next to your house. I will take her there now and see if there is anything else she needs, I will have someone attend to it."

Wujiang.

Mr. Zhao looked at the little girl, who was so anxious that she was about to cry, shook his head and sighed, and patiently said, "There is indeed a saying about the 'Six Gates', but what does it mean? When people mention the 'Six Gates', they are referring to the three law enforcement agencies in the capital city. Do you know about the three law enforcement agencies? They are the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Office of the Inspector General. You just came back from the Ministry of Justice, so you must have seen the three sets of six black lacquered doors at the main entrance, right? The Court of Judicial Review and the Office of the Inspector General also have doors that look the same. That's what the 'Six Gates' refers to." "You just came back from the Ministry of Justice, so you must have seen the three sets of six black lacquered doors at the main entrance, right? The Court of Judicial Review and the Office of the Inspector General also have doors that look the same. That's what the 'Six Gates' refers to."

However... How could the Divine Constable live in the An Prince's Mansion?

Wu Jiang dismounted and turned around to also help Chu Chu down, saying "The Prince An's Mansion."

Isn't that the leader of the Six Doors!

Wu Jiang was worried about how to respond to this statement, then he saw Chu Chu looking at him with her watery eyes and saying, "Brother Jing said that if I pass the exam this time, you will recognize me as your little sister."

Mr. Zhao's steward is almost in tears. He has been in the capital for so many years and has never encountered someone as stubborn as "my little aunt". "Your elder brother is a third-rank assistant general of the imperial court and the chief guard of the An Wang Mansion. Where did this crazy title come from?"

There is also Big Brother! Big Brother is the fifth-ranked divine catcher of the Six Doors, known as the "Soul Chasing Blade"!

The Divine Detective is currently here. Chu Chu's reaction is not slow at all, "So, did I pass the exam?"

Mr. Zhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Ah, it turns out that scaring his own grandson is the most effective trick...

He dare not casually agree to this.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with her answers, but in three consecutive exams, it seems like she was asked to leave before finishing each one. I remember Uncle Seven said before the exam that if she only answered halfway, she would be asked to leave, either because she answered too well and didn't need to continue, or because she answered poorly and people thought it was a waste of effort and didn't want to listen anymore.

Curiously, Chu Chu looked Wu Jiang up and down and said, "Brother Shenbu, you said your name is..."

Staring carefully at this heroic face for a while, Chu Chu suddenly remembered where she had seen this face before, "You are the one who was riding a horse and holding a lantern in front of the prince's sedan this morning! The one on the left side!"

Mr. Zhao turned around and looked at the hesitant look of the little girl, "What's the matter, just say it."

Mr. Zhao arranged a spacious and bright southern room for Chu Chu, where everything was readily available. He even followed Yi Jingyi's instructions and prepared a wardrobe of clean clothes and a drawer of cosmetics for her. Although he knew that this little girl couldn't find any faults, Mr. Zhao still politely asked if there was anything else she needed.

Wu Jiang's forehead is slightly blackened. No wonder Jingyi repeatedly reminded her to treat anything related to "The Six Doors" as if she were telling a story...

Chuchu doesn't believe it at all. "Jing Ge said he was just making a living in the Six Ministries, he is a civil servant in the Six Ministries!"

Do you know who your brother Jing is? He is the young master of the first-grade assistant minister's family, and also the deputy minister of the Dali Temple. When he spoke to you like that, he was just being modest and polite. Young people who work in the three law offices in the capital like to joke like this, but no one would say such things in front of our lord.

Chuchu immediately took a step back, pulled the bundle in front of her and held it tightly in her arms, staring at the person with wide eyes, "What are you doing!"

Wu Jiang almost knelt down to her, "No, no, no... Kou Tian Wu, the river of rivers, lakes, and seas."

Chuchu finally relaxed, re-packed her burden, looked at Wujiang's humble face, and then at the high-headed horse he held in his hand. She frowned and said, "Why did you come to me if you're not going to light the lantern for the prince?"

Chuchu looked around and made sure there was no one else in the house or eavesdropping outside. Then she whispered to Zhao's steward, "You must know that Prince An... he is actually the leader of the Six Ministries, right?"

Okay, okay, don't worry...

Thank you, Lord Steward!

Housekeeper Zhao was taken aback, thinking that he had misheard due to his own nervousness, "Six Gates?"

Chuchu was taken aback. She had indeed dreamed of becoming famous in Beijing, but it was hard to believe that someone could recognize her on the street just one day after she arrived!

Wu Jiang's scalp tingles slightly, "Hehe, are you an undertaker?"

Mr. Zhao's face turned serious, and he said, "The person you tested is an undertaker from the Three Law Offices in the capital. It's not wrong to say that he's from the Six Ministries, but our lord cannot tolerate anyone making up stories about the yamen. Don't talk nonsense in front of him and make him angry!"

Zhao Guanjia's voice is still dragging, Wujiang has already disappeared with both the person and the horse.

Eternal infinity of longevity?

Chuchu can't believe that her skills, from elementary school to adulthood, could be so bad. But according to what others say, the officials in the capital have seen the world, and she doesn't believe that her abilities would be highly regarded by these officials.

Wu Jiang hadn't had a chance to speak yet when Chu Chu suddenly slapped herself on the forehead and said, "Oh my, look how foolish I am!"

When Chu Chu came out of the Ministry of Justice, it was still early, so she strolled leisurely on the streets of the capital.

Chuchu is even more anxious than him, so anxious that she's hopping mad, "There really are six ministries. I was just examining the forensic cases of the Ministry of Punishments!"

In Mr. Dong's lecture on "The Legend of the Nine Great Godly Catchers of the Six Gates", the godly catchers are only known by their titles and not their real names. While thinking about the characteristics of the titles of the nine godly catchers, Chu Chu carefully observed Wu Jiang, and finally her gaze fell on Wu Jiang's big knife. "I know now! You are the 'Soul Chasing Knife'!"

Mr. Zhao immediately became wary in his heart. He is asked this question hundreds of times every year. Every person who asks this question has no good intentions in mind. Nevertheless, he still maintains a friendly expression and says, "It has been quite a few years. The An Prince's Mansion has been established for many years, and I have been here for many years as well."

The fifth-ranked divine detective of the Six Doors, the "Soul Chasing Blade"!

Jing Ge said, "Yes!"

However, this little girl is obviously someone who cannot be convinced by ordinary means.

May I ask ... ...

As soon as the Wujiang accent faded, a kind-looking old man in his fifties came out from the small door. Wujiang immediately felt like he had met a savior, left his horse aside, and pulled Chu Chu forward, saying, "Zhao Steward, this is Miss Chu Chu, my newly recognized sister..."

Well... well, let's just say it then.

The more Chu Chu recalls the expressions of those examiners, the more nervous she feels.

If that's the case, you can call me "Big Brother".

Mr. Zhao, still smiling amiably, said, "As long as you're satisfied, that's all that matters. If there's anything else you need, just let the person below know, no need to be polite."

Well, this is not easy to explain... Without an official title or rank, just remember that the prince has been ordered to manage the Three Law Departments, overseeing all the cases in the world, as well as all the people who handle these cases.

Alas!

Chu Chu's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "You are the great detective!"

It is I.

Wu Jiang was taken aback, "What on earth am I...?"

Chuchu really burst into tears this time, "Wow!" she cried out, "You're lying! You're all lying! There are indeed six doors, there are! There are! "

Wu Jiang thought that the grandeur of the mansion scared her. He quickly said, "Don't be afraid. Although this mansion is a bit larger, there is not a single bad person inside. I live here, and from now on, you will also live here."

Mr. Zhao made an effort to straighten his face and said, "If you dare to mention the Six Gates again, be careful that the Prince will drag you out and give you a beating until your buttocks bloom. At that time, no one will be able to save you!"

Yes!

Chuchu repeatedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, we don't lack anything... We even have a room that can rival the chamber of the Miss of the Zhou family in our town!"

Seeing Chu Chu looking at him with half-trust and half-doubt, Wu Jiang took off the sword at his waist and handed it to her, saying "Miss Chu must still remember this sword."

Chuchu immediately stood still without making a sound, biting her lip and holding back tears, looking at him with a face full of grievances.

Miss... Miss, don't be afraid. I am not a bad person. I just want to ask you a question. Are you Miss Chu Chu from Chushui Town, Zizhu County?

As Mr. Zhao's steward turned to leave, Chu Chu hurriedly called out to him, "Sir Steward, may I ask you something?"

Wu Jiang listened to Chu Chu's nagging for a full quarter of an hour after the capture of the Six Guardians of the Gate, and then, relying on his profound internal martial arts skills, firmly secured the horse at the side gate of a large courtyard.
