Song Chengxuan did not speak. Although Xu Qinghuan did not say it clearly that day, he had already guessed from her attitude that Marquis An Yi would go to Changzhou, so he was not surprised when Master Hong told him about the arrangements of the Ministry of War.
This trip to Changzhou is dangerous, and the Zhang family will definitely do something secretly. She is not the kind of housewife who is at the mercy of others, so she will naturally try her best to help An Yihou.
Song Chengxuan looked at the mottled tree shadows outside the window.
Changzhou is very important. Not only is it very close to the capital, it also has convenient offshore conditions. Now it seems that it is placed in the hands of the Zhang family just to pursue their own interests in shipping. However, it will definitely play a key role in special times, so whether it is the Zhang family or
Neither the imperial court nor the people behind Wang Yun would give it up to others easily.
The Japanese are not necessarily difficult to deal with, it is the forces behind them that are difficult to sort out.
The Anyi Hou Mansion alone cannot do anything. Only by relying on the imperial court can we find out who is plotting against Changzhou. With the current situation, it is the best outcome to keep Changzhou in the hands of the imperial court.
Zhang Zhenren continued: "Originally, Changzhou was where the Xie family's ancestral home was. The Xie family gradually declined over the years, and the Zhang family took the opportunity to take control of Changzhou. Fortunately, some Xie family members still stayed in the ancestral home. This time I went to Changzhou to get the news.
I found out from the Xie family.
The Xie family was forced to go to Huizhou by the Zhang family. In addition to the Xie family, the local wealthy families in Changzhou either defected to the Zhang family or were squeezed out by the Zhang family. Therefore, these people did not say anything but resented Zhang in their hearts.
If we can get the support of these people, we will be able to compete with the Zhang family."
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "Maybe someone has seen this a long time ago and has already taken action in advance."
Zhang Zhenren was startled: "Young Master means..."
Song Chengxuan said: "Wang Yun tried every possible means to provoke a fight between the Zhang family and the Anyi Marquis Mansion. The original purpose was to overthrow Zhang Yucong. Now it seems that the purpose must be in Changzhou. Everything you can think of, they have already made arrangements.
."
Zhang Zhenren said: "Then An Yihou's going here will be more dangerous. Not only will he have to deal with the Zhang family, he will also have to deal with those people. Do you want to remind Miss Xu?"
"She already knew." Song Chengxuan thought of that thin but stubborn figure, put down the soup cup in his hand, turned around and left without looking back.
From the beginning to the end, she thought clearly and put her position in a correct position, just like when she was targeted by the Zhang family, she simply cut off all contact with him.
She acts rationally and is never swayed by any emotions.
Zhang Zhenren is right. She must find an ally to solve the dilemma of Marquis Anyi. He is going back to Quanzhou. The situation in Quanzhou must be stabilized. It is impossible to solve the problem in Changzhou. She wants to break the situation.
Let’s start with the wealthy families in Changzhou.
Just like she worked with him to solve the cases of Wang Yun and Zhang Yucong, maybe she can still find someone to cooperate with.
Who will that person be? The Xie family? Or there is another candidate.
Song Chengxuan suddenly felt that he was thinking too much. Xu Qinghuan only regarded him as a person with common interests and worked together to defeat the enemy when the time was right.
Isn't that the case for him? Now that everyone has no common purpose, it's time to part ways. Who Xu Qinghuan goes to next has nothing to do with him.
Zhang Zhenren still said to himself: "The second master Xie, who is called Xie Ziqing, returned to Changzhou a few days ago and visited many local wealthy families in Changzhou. He talked about resisting smuggling, but I don't know what he saved.
Thinking about it, I heard that the man looked like Pan An, he was talented, he was quite popular among the Xie family, and he was deeply liked by Mr. Xie.
The eldest lady of the Xie family said that if she really wanted to ask about the Xie family, why not ask about Xie Ziqing? It happened that Xie Ziqing was going back to Changzhou, but I was in a hurry to return to Beijing at that time, otherwise I would stay and meet him.
This man is really of good character, and we can use him to find out about the attitude of the Xie family."
Zhang Zhenren habitually muttered to himself. He knew that the young master never cared about such trivial matters. When he said this, he unexpectedly found the young master looking at him.
Zhang Zhenren didn't know what he meant: "Sir, why don't I go check it out."
Song Chengxuan's eyes were deep and dark, making it difficult to see his emotions: "The military advisor has just written a letter. It's better to think more about whether Quanzhou's armaments are sufficient and whether to test the Xie family. That's what the Anyi Marquis Mansion has to do. You don't need to go there.
Worry." Did he do too few errands for Master Zhang, who still had time to find allies for others?
After speaking, Song Chengxuan turned around and walked out of the house, leaving Zhang Zhenren in the house.
"Why do I feel that Young Master is angry?" Master Zhang looked at Yong Ye at the window.
Yong Ye shook his head: "I don't know." He didn't know anything now, for fear that he would overthink and do something bad again. He only knew that the young master was in a bad mood these past two days, as if he was about to explode.
He was afraid of firearms every day, fearing that they would explode accidentally.
Zhang Zhenren thought, maybe the young master really doesn't want to hear about those things in Changzhou. Since the Anyihou Mansion is there to deal with it, success or failure is the matter of the Anyihou Mansion.
Did he really guess the young master's thoughts wrongly?
At that time, she saw the young master rushing into the Taoist temple regardless of the danger, and she was shocked. When had the young master ever been so impulsive?
He has been following the Young Master for so many years, and even when faced with life or death, the Young Master still has an indifferent expression. He ignored the danger to save Miss Xu, and most likely he was attracted to Miss Xu.
This time he said he didn't care about Changzhou, but he was just being tough. He said those words to test, and if he was interested, he would continue to talk. Unexpectedly...
Master Zhang sighed. After testing it, he gave up and prepared to pack a bag and return to Quanzhou with the young master.
…
Zhang Zhenren left the Xu family and went straight to the Anyi Marquis Mansion.
He had lived comfortably in the Hou Mansion for the past two days, but it would be rude to leave quietly like this. He had to say goodbye first, and he couldn't bear to leave his little friend from the Xu family.
Zhang Zhenren thought and stepped into the mansion.
"The real person is back." The servant from the Anyihou Mansion greeted him with a smile.
Zhang Zhenren stroked his beard and nodded.
The boy immediately said: "Madam has prepared the meal and delivered it to your room."
Master Zhang walked into the house as usual. After running around for a day, he was very hungry. It would be a good idea to have a full meal before leaving.
Master Zhang thought about it and pushed the door. As expected, there were a lot of food on the table opposite. Master Zhang was overjoyed. He raised the corner of his mouth and was about to smile when he felt something fall on top of his head. Then his eyes went dark, and then he heard
Someone said: "Quickly... suppress him."
This is Xu Qingan's voice.
He felt his back sink as he was being hugged tightly. He frowned and was about to shake the person off, but more hands hugged him tightly in the darkness.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Zhenren shouted.
Xu Qing'an said: "I want to check you up."
"Let go." Zhang Zhenren shouted. He didn't know why Xu Qing'an was suddenly worried. As soon as he finished speaking, his legs were kicked hard and his body fell forward. Then he was pressed up one by one by countless people.
.
"Do you accept it or not?" Xu Qing'an said, "I have to tell you the truth today. Tell me quickly, are you a deceitful Taoist priest and have you done any bad things like killing people?"
Xu Qing'an asked loudly, and then listened carefully. He didn't know why he was really nervous. What if Zhang Zhenren was a bad guy, what would he do? Would he really send Zhang Zhenren to the government?
"How many people have you killed? I can't even count one or two, whether it was intentional or unintentional." Xu Qing'an seemed to have made up his mind after speaking, "Tie him up and search him."
