On the day of Zuo Wangshan's birthday, the street outside his home was very lively. No, it could even be said that the entire Pofeng County was much livelier than before. It can be said that one person can boost the economy of the entire county in a short time.
That day, the street outside his house was extremely crowded, with too many cars and horses. Yunjing and the others arrived a little late, and the road ahead was blocked.
Obviously many people did not expect this situation. Fortunately, the government gave Zuowangshan face and specially dispatched police officers to clear the road. In addition, Zuowangshan's family members came forward to communicate with the guests. The street entered at one end and exited at the other.
The road is gradually reopened.
It’s really a place full of guests, and the scenery is endless. It’s worth a lifetime for a scholar to reach this level. Unfortunately, what Mr. Zuo has taught is a bunch of things that are inferior to beasts. Today’s scenery is probably the peak of his life, and it is at the peak of his life.
A sudden turn of events!
Xia Tao's carriage moved forward slowly, noticing the lively scene outside, Yun Jing thought to himself.
Through telepathic observation, Yunjing discovered that although there were many people wishing Zuowangshan a birthday, not everyone was qualified to go to his home to wish him a birthday in person. The vast majority of people just came to his door and left gifts and names.
Leave.
This kind of person is very self-aware and has no choice. There are too many people coming to pay homage to their birthdays. It has to be said that it is a depressing thing to not be able to pay homage in person and to look familiar but also to give gifts.
But sometimes it's like this. People probably won't remember you when you come, but they will definitely remember you if you don't come...
Xia Tao, who was bored on the way, ended the previous topic and said with a smile: "I remember that my father invited Mr. Zuo to become an official many times, and even promised to start as a second-grade official. Unfortunately, Mr. Zuo declined them because of his advanced age.
It’s really a pity. With Mr. Zuo’s knowledge, if he becomes an official, he will definitely be a blessing to the people and a blessing to the Great Li.”
Their words can't be heard outside this carriage, so there's no harm in talking about them.
Yun Jing felt strange after hearing this and said: "Hmm, maybe."
If Zuo Wangshan becomes an official, he may have the ability to do things, but if he can teach such a disciple, it is unclear whether it will be a blessing to Dali and the people.
"Brother Tingyun's tone doesn't seem to agree with what I said?" Xia Tao said dumbly.
Yun Jing immediately shook his head and said: "I definitely didn't mean that. Mr. Zuo is indifferent to fame and wealth. He has never been an official in his life. How could he change his mind in his later years and let the world see him like this? I guess people think he is selling for a price."
"It's true." Xia Tao actually believed it, and then said a little depressed: "Speaking of which, I have been away from the war for many years. Mr. Zuo does not want to serve the imperial court, but prefers to settle on one side. This is still somewhat criticized.
"
Yun Jing said perfunctorily: "It would be nice if they don't cause trouble."
"Haha, I don't agree with what Brother Yun said. Mr. Zuo is famous all over the world, how can he cause trouble?" Xia Tao shook his head.
That's not necessarily the case. You'll probably know it soon, but Yun Jing didn't say that.
At this moment, a maid who was massaging Xia Tao's head suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Master, I noticed that there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere on this street!"
"Huh? Tell me." Xia Tao raised his eyebrows.
The maid said: "I don't know the details, but I can clearly feel that many people are probably not here to wish Mr. Zuo a happy birthday. I was informed just now that there are more than 20 innate masters in the entire Pofeng County.
A few people came to Zhenyijing. In the teahouses and streets around Mr. Zuo's residence, there were masters hiding in secret for unknown purposes. There were even countless people who came to Pofeng County to pay their respects to Mr. Zuo's birthday. There were probably many of them.
There is someone with ulterior motives!"
"Is there such a thing?" Xia Tao narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The maid hesitated for a moment, glanced at Yun Jing, and seeing that Xia Tao was not shy, she said again: "Moreover, people outside have sent me word that those people with unknown purposes seem to be people from the government and Yilou.
There are even shadows of the army, and I guess that there will be major changes in Mr. Zuo's birthday today!"
After listening, he pondered for a while and Xia Tao said: "In that case, let's just pretend we don't know, celebrate birthdays normally, and leave local matters to the local authorities."
"But young master, if something happens, especially if Mr. Zuo is targeted by the government, you may get into trouble if you go to celebrate his birthday, which will be very detrimental to the young master," the maid said worriedly.
Xia Tao said indifferently: "Are we in danger?"
"Young master, you don't have to worry about safety..."
Xia Tao interrupted directly: "That's no problem. I've already taken advantage of this time. Sometimes it's necessary to leave some room for others. Otherwise, those who are dissatisfied with me will keep it in their hearts and have nowhere to vent.
On the contrary, it will become a greater hidden danger.”
"The young master is far-sighted..."
While they were talking, Yunjing also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in Pofeng County, and even knew more about it than Xia Tao and the others.
The entire Zuowangshan mansion has been surrounded unknowingly, and there is even a feeling that you can only enter but not exit. Even key locations in Pofeng County have been secretly prepared.
Yunjing knew that He Zhengdian and the others had already begun to take action. In cooperation with Yilou and other parties, the entire Pofeng County had laid a dragnet!
It was something that was expected, but Yunjing was not surprised.
After today, those guys who are worse than pigs or dogs may no longer be able to escape justice, and those who have been victimized will also get justice.
It's a pity that people like Zhou Xiaojuan cannot see with their own eyes that Wang Fu and others receive the punishment they deserve, but if they had knowledge, they would be able to smile.
"The victims cannot be resurrected, and no matter how hard we punish the criminals, they cannot be restored. In the final analysis, there is still something wrong with the system and laws of this world, but the limitations of the times mean that changes cannot be made all at once..."
Thinking of this, Yun Jing glanced at Xia Tao calmly. With the current relationship between the two parties, if, if he sat in that position one day in the future, he didn't know if he would be able to listen and give some opinions.
What happens next can only be discussed later. Maybe I will be able to change some things in the future?
It's too far away, and it doesn't make much sense to think about it now.
I'm afraid I can't even change the current situation. To change many things is tantamount to challenging the entire world system and civilization!
too difficult……
Although the progress was slow, Yunjing and the others finally arrived at the door of Mr. Zuo's house.
After getting off the car, Yunjing discovered that the guests greeted at the door of Mr. Zuo's house were Wang Fu and one of Zuo Wangshan's sons, and his son's apprentices were all present.
The son is the continuation of the bloodline, and the apprentice is the continuation of the thought. The son entertains relatives, and the apprentice entertains friends. This arrangement in Zuowangshan is normal.
Xia Tao brought Yunjing to pay homage to Mr. Zuo, but not as the second prince. His servants got an invitation from a prominent family in Liangzhou Prefecture, and he could bring four people to meet him.
world'.
In other words, based on that invitation, Yun Jing and Xia Tao were both 'incidental'.
His arrangement is normal. Otherwise, if he came as the second prince, the protagonist today would probably be him, and there would be nothing to do with Zuowang Mountain. It would be a bit of a distraction.
"Mr. Deng from Liangzhou Prefecture has arrived. Four guests are here. I will present you with a famous painting. I wish Mr. Zuo good health. Please come in!"
After Xia Tao's servants handed over the invitation, someone immediately called their names, and then invited Yunjing and the others to come in. There were people inside to accommodate them.
Yun Jing knew that the so-called Master Deng was not here at all, but was disguised by Xia Tao's servant.
When entering, as part of the etiquette of visiting people, Yunjing also slightly clasped his fists and saluted Wang Fu, who was responsible for welcoming them.
But in his fist-clasping ceremony, his left hand wraps around his right hand, and his left thumb representing himself is on top. The right thumb representing others is not pressed by the left thumb, but directly in the palm!
Good guy, this is no longer a salute, but almost pointing at someone's nose and scolding them as inferior to pigs and dogs. It's just that it's expressed in a scholar's way and is relatively "tactful".
Everyone understands it.
Facing Yun Jing's salute, Wang Fu's smiling expression froze, and then his face turned red and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
But today was his master's birthday, so he was responsible for welcoming the guests. He could only take a deep breath to suppress his anger, but he secretly remembered it in his heart and settled the accounts later.
He also thought quickly in his mind, who is this person? Why is this so? Could it be an enemy he has offended before?
Yunjing did it on purpose. After saluting, he followed Xia Tao and others in without even looking at him.
Treat a guy like Wang Fu with courtesy?
But pull him down, it’s good that he didn’t draw his sword and chop him into pieces on the spot.
After they entered, Wang Fu narrowed his eyes and whispered to a servant next to him: "Assign someone to watch Master Deng and others, especially the young man with an extremely outstanding appearance. Maybe he will cause trouble. Today is Master's
Birthday, there is no room for any mistakes, and by the way, let’s investigate again to see if we had any enmity with them.”
"I understand, I will make arrangements now..."
After the servant left, a coldness flashed in Wang Fu's eyes. After insulting me in front of so many people, we can't just let it go!
Many people saw Yun Jing's salute, and they all cast surprised glances, but they didn't say anything, but they were all secretly guessing why Yun Jing, a stranger, treated Wang Fu like this.
Young people, no matter what, should not behave in such a rude manner on a day like this.
"Brother Yun, what do you mean? That man has a grudge against you? That's wrong. You've only been here for a short time, and there's no way he can fight you." Xia Tao looked at Yun Jing in astonishment and said, Yun Jing's action
, it’s just a matter of jumping out and fighting with someone openly.
Yun Jing said indifferently: "Brother Huang, I'm not swearing for no reason. I just came a few days before you and learned something that made me extremely angry. The man who greeted us at the door just now is named Wang Fu..."
As he said that, Yun Jing told the story about Zhou Mu and his daughter, and by the way mentioned the incident when Zhou Mu came to the house and was almost beaten to death. He finished and said: "I saw this with my own eyes. A man came to the house to look for his daughter, but he didn't."
I was almost beaten to death by my son-in-law's family. What's the difference between mestruating like this and an animal? I really can't pretend to be ignorant and give him a good look. It makes me sick just thinking about it. To be honest, when I came here today, what I was thinking about was what I did before.
I pointed at the other person’s nose and scolded him. Now I feel better. Even if I am driven away, it doesn’t matter. You may think that I am impulsive, but it doesn’t matter. I am a scholar who is ashamed to associate with such beasts. It’s better to draw a clear line in advance.”
"So there is such a thing. Brother Yun didn't tell me earlier, otherwise I wouldn't even bother to look at that guy. It just stained my eyes," Xia Tao said with a slight frown.
