He sitting at horse back upon. Looking at the Zhang house noodle stall's grand bone soup at pot inside gu-du (bubbling). Still smelling catching sight of un-knowing which house choking pot's scallion garlic charred fragrance. Hot, bakingly wrapping holding people.
Receiving stalls's (closing up stalls). Returning houses's. People squeezing people. Carriages bumping carriages.
Alleys inside's old women pulling holding throats shouting babies returning house eating rice. Street corners several named half grand kids still at snatching most after several kernels of small stones. Noisily causing un-capable of opening encountering (uncontrollable).
If is capable. Chen Ji capable of sitting at street sides looking for a single day.
Road crossing a single location wonton stall. He flipping body dismounting calling greeting shop household: "Palm cabinet (Shopkeeper). Coming six bowls of wontons."
Shop household hastily hurriedly responded descending. Taking wontons tossing entering full pot boiling water center. Eye spirits avoiding opening Chen Ji un-daring to redundantly look.

He again turning his head looking toward tremblingly, tremblingly, fearingly, fearingly's shop household. Considering coming the other party is seeing arriving at that a single curtain (scene) already.
Chen Ji mocking smiling a single sound. From sleeves inside digging exiting a single piece of broken silver tossing at desk upon. Flipping body ascending horse departing to go. Uniquely self toward Plum Blossom Ferry to go.

I carried heart (worried) this side's matters rippling reaching (affecting) singing females and small servants. Simply (dispatched) them first heading to Yujing Courtyard temporarily residing. Waiting until matters peacefully (quelled) already anew returning coming. Reversely precisely universally lacking capability of opening doors doing businesses. Residing where universally a single identically."
Chen Ji dotted his head (nodded): "Brother Pao comprehensively arriving (thoughtfully). Separately disastrously reaching lacking innocents simply good... Liu Su how hadn't walked? According to logic speaking Capital City three named months National Mourning. She ought to return to Jinling's."
Brother Pao using small thumb scratching and scratching his head skin: "She speaking at Plum Blossom Ferry hitting Mahjong compared to returning Jinling still opening heart (happier) somewhat. I sensing this small female appropriately capable of is viewing ascending me already. Precisely about to use body mutually promising (giving herself to me)."

Chen Ji residing feet congealingly viewing: "Today facing street cruelly killing a named Regional Investigating Censor. Fearing isn't handing exiting the Yang house sin evidence simply capable of graciously finishing's. This matter. Simply is the Qi Family also doing incomplete master (can't decide)."
Identical to Zhou Biao locally speaking. Simply is Yang Zhong possessing Heavens massive's sin passing. Also ought to relying on laws relying on rules handling placing. And isn't dragging to death at marketplace street heads.
Censors un-at care the Yang house possessing or un-possessing sins. Also un-at care Yang Zhong is it or isn't it dying possessing residual sins (deserving death). Identifying for this isn't Yang Zhong a single strip of life's matters. Chen Ji hitting's is Chief Surveillance Bureau's face. Is Pure Stream Faction speech officials' spine bone skeleton.

Elder Chen opening opening both his eyes. Spirit colors fatigued said: "Returning coming already."
Chen Ji un-moving sounds colors: "Receiving picking safely eastern westerns (packing up) simply walking."
Elder Chen pointing holding body beside's stone stools speaking said: "With intelligently brightly (smart) people commonly matters simply this dot good. Comprehending worldly affairs.

Giving His Majesty leaving several portions leftover limits. Ultimately His Majesty always will possess growing grand's that a single day. The Qi Family borrowing Chief Surveillance Bureau obtaining momentum's time. I also persuading passing Elder Qi. Obtaining forgiving people locations temporarily forgiving people. If the Lips Are Gone, the Teeth Will Be Cold... But they universally un-previously listening to my's. All using acting as I was eyeing red (jealous) of their powers forces. You capable of looking breaking this dot very good. But this similarly intelligently bright's people. How simply looking un-broken a single emotion word?"
Chen Ji hadn't answered. Merely receiving passing Whale Blade. Using thumb pushing opening blade jaws.
Elder Chen feelingly sighing said: "Old husband at Capital City several ten years. Foolish emotion seeds (love-struck fools) isn't hadn't seen passing. You fearing considering not arriving at. That positioned high, high at upon's Elder Qi yearly light (young) time also previously for females seeking death finding living (desperately in love). His Majesty also previously for the sake of the Empress with Ministry of Rites scrambling quarreling. That year I from Lu Province exiting coming's time.

Waiting Success and Fame Achieved already a single determiningly letting her crossing ascending good days and sons. But after coming also slowly, slowly forgetting dropping this returning matters' sons. This Capital City isn't discussing emotions speaking loves's local places. Possessing emotions possessing Righteousness's people most after universally repairing dropped un-emotion Dao (ruthless path)."
Chen Ji still as before hadn't spoken words.
Elder Chen looking toward him: "Waiting anew cross passing several years. Commandery Princess Baili toward you un-anew that similarly heavily vital already.

This is the Chen Family using coming killing people, protecting lives's eastern westerns. A single dawn the Chen Family which day dropping dropped difficulties. Heavens beneath literature people wanting face surfaces's (respectable) universally must standing exiting coming for the Chen Family speaking a sentence of words. Un-speaking. He simply diverging already."
Chen Ji smilingly asking said: "Grand Secretary today night is about to teach me Dao logics (principles)?"
Elder Chen also smilingly dropped rising up: "Today night merely is desiring to tell you. This world upon's matters complex variously very. Killing you's won't necessarily be bad people. He killing you. Also won't necessarily be for the sake of he himself. Chen Xu. Take giving him right."
At this time. Chen Xu from hands wrists upon plucking descending a single string of Buddhist Prayer Beads Currency passing giving Elder Chen. Elder Chen again patting at Chen Ji's hands heart inside: "Old husband knowing you redeeming buying Commandery Princess Baili needing silver. This inside is two ten-thousands of taels of silver. Sending you already."
Chen Ji un-untying (puzzled): "Grand Secretary this is?"
Elder Chen faintly smiled: "Seeing face time possessing seeing face Propriety. Dividing parting time also ought to possess trampling walking Propriety (farewell gift). You toward after aren't my Chen Family person already. Yet also possessing passing a single intercept of fate portions. Old husband holding the inverse isn't reciting reaching old emotions. Merely is if possessing a single day this Chen Family grand mansion about to tilt. Still hoping Lord Wuxiang leaving several portions emotion faces (leniency)."
Speaking finishing. Elder Chen rising his body departing to go. Chen Xu toward Chen Ji bowing his body cupping his hands: "Young Master precious heavy (take care)."
Xiaoman looking at they departing opening's back shadows: "Young Master. They took me entirely hopelessly confused already. White days only then grandly swinging grandly placing's (swaggering) retrieving walking the Chen Family salt shops' silver and Account Books. Night upon how again coming to send silver?"
Chen Ji looking at hands inside's Buddhist Prayer Beads Currency feelingly sighing said: "Elder Chen this only then is genuinely solidly's merely seeking un-defeated. White days inside about to do giving Heavens beneath literature people looking. Night upon then descending a single step of idling chess. Giving the Chen Family leaving a strip of withdrawing paths... Receiving picking eastern western (pack up) right."
