A huge red mark on Mr. Zhang's forehead has not disappeared, there are still finger marks on his cheeks, and even the beard on his chin seems to have been reduced a lot.
Yongye couldn't help but said again: "Master, what on earth have you done?"
Master Zhang wanted to hide in the darkness, but unexpectedly his eyes lit up. Yong Ye thoughtfully brought up the lamp. Seeing that he could not hide, Master Zhang had no choice but to look into Song Chengxuan's cold eyes: "I and Marquis An Yi
The prince tried his fists and feet."
These words silenced the room.
Master Zhang knew that the young master would not believe him if he told her, but after Miss Xu left, he and Xu Qing'an did start a fight in the yard.
In terms of kung fu, his body skills are more flexible than Xu Qing'an's, so it stands to reason that he cannot suffer any loss. However, Xu Qing'an has been holding back his bad habits for who knows how long, and all of them were used on him at once, making him unable to defend himself.
The competition was going well, but Xu Qingan suddenly bumped into him. He couldn't avoid it and was hit hard on the forehead.
Either I would rather be punched by him than pull his beard and leave a few fingerprints on his face.
The two of them fought for two hours, and the brat's sweat was dripping on his robe. His mood was extremely bad. Even if he had resentment in his heart, he didn't want to compete with Xu Qing'an anymore, so he hurriedly
After escaping, I looked at myself in the mirror. It was as if I had rolled through a quagmire.
Zhang Zhenren complained while talking: "Xu Qing'an is carried to the school grounds by Marquis Anyi every day. He is treated obediently by Marquis An Yi, and he doesn't find any of those dirty tricks."
Hearing this, Yongye finally managed not to laugh out loud. He wanted to give a few symbolic words of comfort to Master Zhang, but... he really couldn't say it. He had become so mean-spirited at some point.
Song Chengxuan's eyes were so calm that it was impossible to see his emotions: "It's impossible for Xu Qing'an to pick a fight with you for no reason. What's going on?"
Zhang Zhenren licked his lips: "It's all the Xie family's business. Unfortunately, I said before that Xie Ziqing is handsome. It turns out he is a fool."
When Song Chengxuan heard this, he sat down on the chair, took some tea to drink, and motioned to Master Zhang to continue.
I was stuck in the yamen all day today, listening to people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War saying excuses. Although a few officials from the Firearms Department were arrested as scapegoats, if this battle is lost, I don’t know how many people will be trapped, even the workers.
The Minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War could not escape being dismissed from their posts and investigated, so no matter what their intentions were, most officials still thought of winning the war.
He also happened to take this opportunity to purchase a lot of armaments for the Quanzhou Navy. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Works cut corners for too long and could not come up with better armaments, but for him it was still better than nothing.
After these boring things were solved, although what Master Zhang said was insignificant, it could make him relax and calm down.
Seeing the young master sitting down, Zhang Zhenren complained in his heart. He didn't know what he said that made the young master interested. In this case, he had to report everything in detail.
Speaking of the deaths of Xie Yuan and Mrs. Xie, and also mentioned that Miss Xu discussed the case with him, Zhang Zhenzhen said: "What Miss Xu means, Mrs. Xie died at the hands of the Xie family. It seems that the Xie family must have something to do with it.
If they are not Zhang Yucong's people, they are probably involved with the people behind Wang Yun.
Miss Xu asked Prince Xu to investigate. There will definitely be some action from Xie Yuan. Before we left the capital, there was another movement. It can be seen that things in Changzhou will definitely be very difficult." He could only hope that the little boy would do it.
The girl successfully solved the case. Even if she couldn't catch those people, she just wanted to be safe.
"You didn't notice anything strange when you went to Xie's house?"
Song Chengxuan's voice came.
Master Zhang raised his head: "I found out about the White Dragon King, so I rushed to send the news back."
"You don't have to follow us back to Quanzhou tomorrow," Song Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, "come back after you find out what happened with the Xie family."
Zhang Zhenren was stunned when he heard this. The Xie family's affairs are not troublesome. He doesn't have much leverage in Xie Yuan's hands. He only needs to wait for Xu Qing'an to go over and test it out, and everything will be clear. There is no need to change for this matter.
As for the itinerary, he went out to inquire about information before, and there were similar things that needed to be dealt with. The young master just let him handle it by himself, and everything was under his own control. Why did the regulations change this time?
"Young Master..." Zhang Zhenren said, "I still want to return to Quanzhou. If you want to lead troops to fight, I can always help."
Song Chengxuan said: "It is equally important to deal with the tail left by the Xie family and Changzhou. If Xie Yuan is deliberately targeting you, the people behind Wang Yun may have other plans. I want to know the intentions of those people."
Mr. Zhang felt his forehead hurt even more.
Song Chengxuan stood up and walked towards the door. Seeing that he was about to disappear in front of Master Zhang, he stopped again and turned to look at Master Zhang.
Zhang Zhenren only felt that the young master's eyes were darker than before, and his expression was extremely serious.
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "Don't make any mistakes again."
After Song Chengxuan left, there was silence in the room. After a while, Master Zhang took a deep breath and looked at Yong Ye, who was also stunned next to him: "Master, is this... could you..." Leave him behind!
Yongye patted Zhang Zhenren on the shoulder: "Don't let the young master down this time."
As soon as Yong Ye finished speaking, a boy came in with the baggage and delivered it directly to Master Zhang.
Mr. Zhang's eyelids were twitching. He must have done something to offend the gods. When he returned to the house, he would burn a stick of incense and beg the gods for forgiveness.
Master Zhang took the baggage and walked out of the house, standing in the wind. Where should he go?
…
"Miss, Master Zhang is back."
Xu Qinghuan had finished washing up and was leaning on the soft couch reading a book when Yin Gui stepped forward to report.
Xu Qinghuan was a little surprised. Didn't Mr. Zhang go back to Song Chengxuan's place? His father brought news from the Yamen that Song Chengxuan was leaving Beijing.
Did something go wrong?
Xu Qinghuan stood up: "Change my clothes and I'll ask."
Master Zhang sighed, no longer as free and easy as before.
Xu Qinghuan poured a cup of tea: "What did Mr. Song say?"
Master Zhang frowned: "Young Master doesn't talk much on weekdays. He just wants me to sort out the affairs of the Xie family. You are right, I didn't handle it well."
Song Chengxuan's reaction surprised Xu Qinghuan. Logically speaking, she could just leave this matter to her, but he kept Zhang Zhenren because he thought there was something wrong with her approach? He couldn't let Zhang Zhenren do it because he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Come and help.
There should be a reason for everything he does. If he doesn't explain it, she can't go over and ask.
In fact, that was all he had to do, but Xu Qinghuan felt a little uneasy. Delivering medicine that day was already considered a farewell to her, and she couldn't go there again tomorrow.
"Master, please rest early," Xu Qinghuan said. "Find out the truth as soon as possible, and you can go back to Quanzhou. You have a long time to go, and you won't miss it once or twice."
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, he walked out of the house and stood in the yard looking at the half-covered moon in the sky. Why was that person's thoughts so unpredictable?
…
Early in the morning, Xie Yuan got up to study. This was a habit he had developed since his enlightenment. However, he was always absent-minded in the past two days. His sister-in-law's death was right in front of him, and there were two young nephews at home.
My niece, she is so pitiful that she lost her mother at such a young age.
Xie Yuan punched the table hard.
"Second Master," a servant of the Xie family handed over a post, "Someone from the Anyihou Mansion has come, saying that the Prince of Anyihou has invited the Second Master to a party."
