Zhao Wenrong's smile froze on his face, and he stumbled and said, "I..."
"Brother Zhao!" Lu Zhenggong raised his hand, "I heard Brother Zhao mention the female ghost thing last time, but I didn't hear it in detail. This time, thanks to the blessings of a few people, I had a great time listening to it."
"Huh?" Zhao Wenrong looked confused.
"Brother Zhao is kind-hearted, has a beautiful heart, and is deeply affectionate. He is really a role model for our generation. Last time there was a flood, he donated more than ten carts of food. The people who received the food were able to survive. I am very grateful to Brother Zhao for his kindness!"
Lu Zheng took two steps forward, patted Zhao Wenrong on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows at him, and then nodded to the people around him, then turned around and pulled Shen Ying away.
"Brother Zhao, who is this?"
Lu Zheng had a strong aura, and Shen Ying was dignified and noble. The two of them calmed these young people for a while, and they didn't ask questions until they left.
"I seem to have seen the lady next to this young master somewhere before?" A young man scratched the back of his head.
"This young man seems to be the owner of the Sweet Food Restaurant." A woman said, "I passed by the Sweet Food Restaurant once to buy candies, and I seemed to have seen him."
Zhao Wenrong nodded, "It's the owner of Sweet Food Restaurant, Lu...Brother Lu is so beautiful that he and I hit it off instantly and are as close as brothers!"
"Ouch!"
Zhao Wenrong comes from the Zhao family in Yizhou Prefecture. Although he is only the third son and cannot inherit the family head, it is said that he is deeply loved by the old lady. He has given an unknown amount of private money to him in private. His own net worth is already comparable to that of the major landowners in Tonglin County.
And the wealthy businessman.
Not to mention the fact that I got the title of scholar in the county examination this time. If I can win again, there is no chance that I will be able to get an official position in the future.
You know, Zhao Wenrong came to Tonglin County and settled in the county school for several months, but no one of his classmates could make him say that he was as close as a brother.
"Is there anything special about Mr. Lu?" a man asked.
Knowing that Lu Zheng was trying to save face by not exposing him, and at the same time he didn't want to make any publicity, Zhao Wenrong said, "It's nothing, I just heard about the reputation of Sweet Food Restaurant, and happened to meet him when I went to buy candy. We chatted for a few words, and we got along well. Later,
Several areas in the north were hit by disasters, and Brother Lu personally went to the disaster areas to help."
After hearing this, several people stood in awe.
You know, this flood is quite serious, and foreign objects have appeared. Anyone who dares to go to the disaster area in person is a ruthless person.
"Master Zhao also sent a lot of food to the disaster area?" a woman asked, her eyes shining.
Zhao Wenrong blinked, straightened his figure by three points, and nodded indifferently, "Exactly, natural disasters are merciless, and the people suffer. We are usually protected by the court, and this is the time for us to contribute some strength."
"Wow!!!"
"Mr. Zhao, you are really thoughtful!"
…
Shen Ying smiled and asked, "What's going on with Mr. Zhao?"
Lu Zheng briefly told Shen Ying about the grievances between himself and Zhao Wenrong.
Because this matter was too small, Lu Zheng didn't take it to heart at all, so he didn't mention it to Shen Ying. Now that he encountered it today, he wanted to talk to Shen Ying.
"I can't believe that Mr. Zhao is also a wonderful man. He actually changed the story and blew it out as if it were bullshit." Shen Ying said with a smile, "But there is no place for Lu Lang in this story. No wonder he just said it."
When I saw Lu Lang, his expression looked very strange."
Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Zhao Wenrong's embarrassed look when he saw him just now.
But of course he wouldn't take this kind of thing to heart, and because of Zhao Wenrong's sensibleness, he even praised him.
"I think Mr. Zhao seems to have a crush on one of the girls." Shen Ying said with a smile, "I don't know if he can get what he wants."
"Really? Why didn't I see it?" Lu Zheng said.
Shen Ying smiled and took Lu Zheng's arm, "Lu Lang, you are a man and an honest person, how can you reveal the thoughts of those playboys?"
Lu Zheng blinked and felt that what Shen Ying said made sense.
Brother is indeed an honest person!
The two came to Peach Blossom Temple and saw Uncle Qian and Amber busy in the distance.
"Huh?" Shen Ying said softly.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Hou Ping helps in the temple on weekdays, why is he not here today?"
"Is there anything going on today?"
"Just ask and you will know." Shen Ying said, and then used the statue to transmit the message and asked Qian Bo who was busy in the temple.
"What?" Shen Ying raised her eyebrows.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Ying smiled and said, "You said I was robbing the matchmaker's business, but this Hou Ping is robbing the hunter's business."
"In Fengping Mountain, fifty miles south of the county, a tiger escaped from somewhere deep in the old forest and has already eaten two people. The county called hunters to go up the mountain, but for three days now, they have found nothing."
Shen Ying said, "Hou Ping heard someone talking about this when he was in the temple yesterday. He took the stick and left in the middle of the night, saying he was going to meet the big insect."
Lu Zheng was speechless, "He's a monkey demon, and he's going to accept the reward for catching a tiger?"
"Isn't that right...hey, you're back?"
Within the area of Taohuaping, Shen Ying's senses were very keen, and she noticed it as soon as Hou Ping got close.
Lu Zheng followed Shen Ying's gaze and saw Hou Ping, whose clothes were in pieces, swinging from one big tree to another while carrying a stick that was taller than others.
"Hou Ping!"
"Fairy!" Hou Ping replied, then raised his head and saw Lu Zheng.
"Sir! You are here too!"
After a few dodgers, Hou Ping arrived in front of the two of them, inserted the stick into the ground, and then bowed and saluted in a decent manner, "I've seen the fairy! I've seen the young master!"
"Get up." Lu Zheng looked at Hou Ping, his eyes flashing, "The tiger is not easy to fight?"
"It's hard to fight, it's really hard to fight." Hou Ping nodded repeatedly, "That big insect is almost turning into a monster, it's so powerful!"
"oh?"
Lu Zheng and Shen Ying looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the tiger was about to become a monster.
The so-called "quickly becoming a demon" means that one can already instinctively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon, but cannot yet actively cultivate, nor has spiritual intelligence been activated.
This kind of existence is much more powerful than ordinary beasts. No wonder Hou Ping still looks miserable after a fight even though he has an iron rod in his hand.
"Where's the tiger?"
"Kill them and give them to the hunters who are ambushing them in the mountains." Hou Ping said.
"In the past three days, have the hunters who entered the mountains not been killed by tigers?" Shen Ying asked.
Hou Ping scratched his head, "I don't know, I didn't ask, but I think they were just happy, so no one died, right?"
Shen Ying blinked and asked, "How did you give them the tiger?"
Hou Ping also blinked, "You just gave them the tiger?"
"Did they recognize you?" Shen Ying asked.
Hou Ping nodded, "I recognized it."
Of course those hunters had come to Peach Blossom Temple to pay their respects before, and had met Hou Ping.
"You... forget it, it doesn't matter." Shen Ying shook her head.
Zuo Zuo is also an official organization, so Hou Ping can be regarded as the protector of Peach Blossom Temple to the outside world.
