Xu Zizhen was startled and blurted out: "Damn it! Why are you following me?"
The old man looked at him seriously and suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are planning to kill their family in the middle of the night? Hey, you have a grudge against that person named Xu?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "How do you know...ah, no, I mean how do you know him?"
The old man curled his lips and said, "The whole street is talking about it. This person named Xu was originally the governor of some house on Qinfeng Road. He was recently transferred to be the governor of Kaifeng. This time he was passing by Jingzhao Mansion to pay a visit to that surnamed man.
Just congratulations."
Xu Zizhen was surprised when he heard the old man's words showed no respect for the two officials, and suddenly realized the difference: "Kaifeng Prefecture Yin? Is that the bastard?"
The old man was happy: "Look, I know you have a grudge against him, right? Otherwise, why would you scold him so smoothly?"
Xu Zizhen was so angry that he didn't know what to say. The governor of Kaifeng Mansion at that time was Bao Zheng, a bachelor of Longtuge, the famous Bao Qingtian, and Xu Bingzhe, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and looked very different from Mr. Bao in appearance alone.
He is still a member of Wang Fu's group of old thieves. He may cause harm to the Kaifeng Mansion in the future.
Seeing that Xu Zizhen was silent, the old man poked him and whispered: "Actually, it's not difficult for you to kill him."
Xu Zizhen was furious and asked without thinking: "How to do it?"
The old man said mysteriously: "There are many rich people in Jingzhao Mansion. Buy a kitchen knife and rob the road. When you have enough money, you can find a killer..."
Xu Zizhen turned around and left, but the old man still shouted behind him: "Hey, if this method doesn't work, I have another trick." Xu Zizhen stopped and looked back to glare at him: "If you want to eat too much, just go for a walk by yourself.
Come on, can you please stop teasing me?"
The old man was unhappy: "Hey, you little bastard, didn't you say that you have a grudge against that person named Xu? I am kind enough to give you some advice."
Xu Zizhen said: "Thank you, I have a friend there who is sick, see you later." After saying that, he raised the medicine bag in his hand and turned around to leave. The old man kept mumbling that it was better to stay away.
When he returned to the inn, Zhuo Ya had already fallen asleep. Xu Zizhen touched it with his hand. His forehead was burning hot, his cheeks were sickly red, but his lips were pale. He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly asked the waiter to borrow stove medicine.
The pot is boiling with medicine.
Making medicine is a slow job. He stood by the stove and looked at the fire, thinking about Xu Bingzhe. He and the man named Xu didn't have a deep hatred, but if he didn't do something to vent his anger, he would feel uncomfortable no matter what.
That boy is now living in Yin's house in Jingzhao Prefecture. Unless he really gets in in the middle of the night, he might not even be able to see him.
When the medicine was ready, he didn't come up with a good idea, so he had to put the matter aside for now and carry the medicine bowl into the room to feed Zhuo Ya to drink.
Zhuo Ya was already dizzy from the fever. Xu Zizhen sat on the bedside and held her in his arms, feeding her and drinking slowly. Looking at Zhuo Ya's haggard face, he suddenly felt very guilty. She was a princess of a country after all.
Just following him on the road like this, he got this serious illness in just a few days. It was all his own fault.
While he was thinking about it, he inadvertently tilted the mouth of the bowl. As a result, less than half of the bowl of medicine tipped over on Zhuo Ya's clothes. Xu Zizhen hurriedly put the bowl down and hurriedly wiped it for her. Fortunately, the medicine had already cooled down and it would not cause any symptoms.
It burned people, but left a dark stain on their clothes.
Xu Zizhen looked at the puddle of medicine stains and was a little dazed. Suddenly he remembered something. He left in a hurry this time and brought almost no luggage. Zhuo Ya even went on the road empty. It didn't matter to him and Daye. The two big men were just dirty.
It was a bit dirty, but Zhuoya actually endured it and never said a word.
Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen felt more and more guilty. He finished all the medicine, put Zhuo Ya back on the bed and fell asleep. Then he quietly left the room and went back downstairs to find the shopkeeper and inquire about the best ready-made clothes in Jingzhao Mansion.
shop.
If the day is running out, the worst case scenario is to take out one of the luminous pearls given by Wan Yanang and sell it, so that Zhuo Ya can't be wronged.
The shopkeeper introduced him to a shop without thinking. It is said that this shop is not only the best in Jingzhao Mansion, but also there is no other high-end and neat shop in Yongxing Military Road. It sells ready-made clothes, fabrics, silk, brocade, and satin.
They have all kinds of noodles and the workmanship is exquisite, but the price is a little higher, 20 to 30% more expensive than ordinary shops - the name of the shop is Guixiangchun.
Xu Zizhen asked about the place, and when he was about to leave, he asked casually: "They don't sell fake goods there, do they?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "That's impossible. Gui Xiangchun's boss is Mr. Liu who stays behind in Jingzhao Mansion. Selling fake goods is not worth it."
Xu Zizhen thanked him and walked out. He first found a jewelry shop, took out a luminous pearl and threw it in. The shopkeeper was very happy and took out a plate of silver ingots. Xu Zizhen didn't know how to do it, but this thing was definitely perfect.
Those who are filial will not care about how much, just take the money and leave.
Not far outside the door, he saw a group of people coming from the other side, led by two women, one old and one middle-aged, who turned out to be Xu Bingzhe's mother and his wife. Xu Zizhen immediately stopped and saw that they had just entered
The jewelry store also followed him and stood outside the door to look inside.
Following the two people was a middle-aged man, who introduced the shop with a smile on his face, and then said: "Old madam, madam, I am very familiar with the owner of this shop. If there are any objects that are of interest to you, just let me know."
Just take it and the official will go back and settle the bill with him."
The old lady was not polite at all, she nodded and said: "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Wang."
The shopkeeper of the jewelry store had already greeted the old lady, asked her to sit down, served tea and cakes, and ordered people to bring trays of jewelry over for her to choose from.
Mr. Wang nodded and bowed and said: "You're welcome, Madam. I will be transferred to Kaifeng Mansion in the near future. I will have to trouble Mr. Xu to take care of you."
The old lady stared at the jewels with her eyes fixed on them, and said in a neutral tone: "I will tell my son, Mr. Wang, please be at ease."
Xu Zizhen looked at the undisguised greed in the eyes of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. After all, Xu Bingzhe was also an official of the imperial court. He couldn't be killed easily, but he could be put in some trouble. Mr. Xiaozhong was not an ordinary person.
Do you want to use your brain more and make more strategies? That's not possible, so I'll have his wife operated on.
Xu Bingzhe's mother and wife were still leisurely choosing jewelry. Seeing that the meaning would not be finished for a while, Xu Zizhen decided to take advantage of this moment to call Daye over to take action. When he turned around and was about to leave, he saw a face full of wrinkles behind him.
His old face was smiling maliciously.
"I know you want to take revenge. How about you? Do you want my help?"
