Chapter 140: Lele alone is not as good as the crowd
If it were in the past, when she heard that Mr. Zhang from Qin Yuan came to inquire about Zhao Yuan’s situation, Mother Li would have taken it for granted that it must be Zhang Chen, the spoiled and spoiled only son of Mr. Qin Guo, who came to pay attention to the eldest lady again. Next, she
She had to think about how to talk people away. But at this moment, her first reaction was... to look at Zhang Shou sideways!
She has always been amazed that even with Ge Yong as a teacher, Zhang Shou could really convince Zhang Chen, a love rival!
At this time, she saw Zhang Shouxiao and asked: "Is it Zhang Chen?"
"Exactly." When the general replied, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Zhang Shou, and then quickly lowered his head, "Master Zhang heard that Master Shou and the eldest lady were all here, so he said he wanted to meet Master Shou."
"It's a coincidence that he happened to come to live in Haidian Garden."
Zhang Shou glanced at Mother Li as he spoke. Mother Li was such an obedient person. She quickly smiled and said, "Our family and the Zhang family of Duke of Qin can be regarded as family friends. In addition, Master Zhang is your student of Master Shou, so of course we should invite him in."
Talk. Let’s do this. I’ll go to see the eldest lady and tell her about Mr. Zhang’s arrival.”
But in an instant, Mother Li, who wanted to ask Zhang Shou what was going on, changed her mind. Seeing the family member who came in to report hurriedly out, she was even vaguely aware that Zhang Chen would come over at this time.
I'm afraid it wasn't necessarily Zhao Yuan's movements last night that alerted the other party, but it was probably because she brought dozens of servants with her when she came over this time.
You should know that dozens of people in her group happened to pass by Qin Garden, which is not far from Zhao Garden. If Zhang Chen wanted to go out at that time, he noticed this movement and followed him to take a look. It would not be surprising at all.
.
Mother Li hurried to Xiaocuitang, and the general also hurried out, and soon brought Zhang Chen over.
Although it was stated that Zhang Shou was in Zhaoyuan, when they met, they thought that this was the Zhu family's annex, but Zhang Shou lived here like a master. The servants of the Zhu family were not even surprised, as their relationship with Zhu Ying was obvious.
It was already settled. Thinking that all his thoughts on Zhu Ying were in vain, Zhang Chen felt a little depressed. After a while, he listlessly called "Teacher".
He is now the chief of the Banshan Hall, and Zhang Shou is the Guozi doctor in charge of Banshan Hall. The teacher-student relationship is more legitimate than before.
Zhang Shou personally appointed Zhang Chen as the chief of the restaurant. At this time, he just pretended not to see Zhang Chen's downcast expression, because he smiled and said: "This gate is not a place to talk. Yingying is now in the Xiaocui Hall.
Let’s go to Qinfangting.”
Outside Zhao Yuan were guarding dozens of servants and generals who were facing a formidable enemy. When they entered Zhao Yuan, Zhang Chen found that there were almost no people in sight in such a huge place. He had already felt suspicious in his heart. Therefore, since Zhang Shou said so, he
He hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He had also been to Zhao Garden in previous years. Now he followed Zhang Shou and walked through the rockery along the winding path. When he came to Qinfang Pavilion, he couldn't help but ask.
"What happened in Zhao Yuanzhong?"
"Last night, two rebels who had escaped from Linhai camp were found in the garden, and they caused a scene. Later, Yingying was afraid that something might happen, so she ransacked the whole night. After all, Zhao Yuan was outside Beijing, and she was afraid that someone would contact the rebels.
The thieves colluded, and in the last half of the night, a lot of messy things were found, so the Xiaocuitang should be full of ghosts and wolves howling at this moment."
Zhang Shouyan explained briefly and comprehensively, but he never mentioned that others were eyeing him, let alone that Zhu Ying actually slept until early in the morning because of the effect of the soothing incense. As expected, Zhang Chen was surprised at first.
Then he became furious.
Especially when, by chance, there were faint sounds of begging for mercy and screams coming from the Xiaocui Hall to the west at this moment, and he couldn't hold back even more when he happened to hear them.
"What a courage!"
If we want to say who hates the rebels in the Linhai camp the most, then it is definitely Zhang Chen. No matter the emperor or other officials in the court, all have to stand back. I remember that he "speak uprightly" and exposed the secrets in the Linhai camp.
Certain dark deeds were regarded as a thorn in the flesh by many people, and Ding Hai's group of rebels went to Cuiyunjian mainly for him.
Therefore, when he thought of that time when he was almost embarrassed by Ding Hai, Zhang Chen, who was so angry, had forgotten that he had just sat down, stood up, and said without hesitation: "I also occasionally go out of the city to the garden to relax, and usually
Those servants are taking care of the inside and outside, maybe there are one or two black sheep in Qin Garden... No, I have to go back immediately and take care of the inside and outside!"
Thinking again that if the rebels broke into his Qin Garden last night, he would probably be humiliated by those traitors on his own territory. Zhang Chen felt an evil fire swaying through his limbs. He said stiffly.
Zhang Shou bowed his hands, then turned around and left. When he quickly rushed out of the gate of Zhaoyuan in the south, he stretched out his hand to call the accompanying guards without saying a word.
Ever since he was in danger in Cuiyunjian, even when he was in the capital, he had to bring eight highly skilled bodyguards with him whenever he went out. This time, while taking a break in the Banshan Hall of the Imperial Academy, he went out of the city to Qinyuan for a short stay.
He brought twenty-four people with him!
"Cheer up, everyone! There are fish that slipped through the net from Linhai Camp nearby. Come back with me and search Qinyuan carefully, just in case!"
Watching Zhang Chen leave from a distance, Zhang Shou knew that his few words had worked. When he came to the gate, he saw a group of servants brought by Li's mother and the generals of the Ding family.
At the beginning, there was a person guarding a certain distance along the wall. It was obviously to prevent anyone from escaping, so he waved to one of the generals to come over.
"There should be many other gardens near Zhao Garden and Qin Garden, right?" After receiving a positive reply, he then ordered, "Assign two or three people to find out which of these gardens are the best in Beijing.
The middle owner is here to stay. After you find out, you can remind them that there are rebels from the Linhai Camp nearby, and then use Zhao Yuan and Qin Yuan as examples."
The general who was summoned immediately understood. If only Zhao Yuan was in such a mess, there would be no telling how many basins of dirty water would be poured over it. But if other families also conduct a large-scale inspection, then even if they end up in a mess,
No one knew what was going on at home, but at least the commotion in Zhao Yuan would not be so conspicuous. He immediately agreed with a respectful voice and immediately rushed out of the door.
When Zhu Ying took her mother Li out of Xiaocuitang, exhausted both physically and mentally, what she got was the news that a dozen gardens near Haidian, led by Qin Yuan, were all being searched and inspected. Zhu Ying looked confused.
, and Mother Li thought of Zhang Chen's visit to Zhang Shou just now, and immediately realized that this was indeed the best way to break up for the Duke of Zhao.
She quickly whispered: "It should be Mr. Shou who said something to Zhang Chen."
"It's Ah Shou..." Just now, Zhu Ying felt that her temples were still pounding. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with great annoyance,
"Ah Shou is really troubled by me. He just took a risk last night, and today he helped me come up with ideas! From Rongshui Village to now, it's all because of me that I have brought him so much trouble!"
"How can the eldest lady say that?" Mother Li knew that Zhu Ying seemed cheerful, but she often got into trouble when it came to people close to her, so she quickly tried to persuade her, "If he hadn't met the eldest lady, Mr. Shou might have stayed in silence forever.
In that small village, how could the world know about his talent? Now he is the Imperial Doctor appointed by the emperor himself, and even the prince wants to call him teacher."
Seeing that Zhu Ying's expression finally relaxed a little, Mother Li quickly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Last night he put himself in danger, but in the end he contributed to the traitor being captured alive. With the emperor's consistent attitude towards him, maybe he will be punished again."
Promotion. If you feel sorry for me, Miss, please go back and urge Ah Liu to practice his sword skills. If Mr. Shou learns it in the future, he will be able to defend himself."
With a somewhat unhappy sigh, Zhu Ying went straight to Nuanxiangwu to look for Zhang Shou, but unexpectedly she came up empty. The room was empty, not to mention people, not even a ghost was seen. When she wanted to find someone to ask,
She just remembered that Zhao Yuan had been severely purged by her, and now one-third of the non-combat personnel were reduced, and she ordered the remaining people to go back to their rooms!
Zhao Yuan is such a big place, where can she find someone?
At this moment, Zhu Ying suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Miss!"
Xun Sheng looked up, and she saw Ah Liu squatting on the wall at some point. Before she could get angry, the young man said seriously, word by word: "The young master was at the waiter at the gate and asked you to go to Qin Dynasty with us."
garden."
Zhu Ying, who was confused, had no time to think about it and hurried out immediately. When she came to the tea room on the left side of the gate, she saw Zhang Shouzheng sitting on the bench where the concierges used to sit when chatting, with a relaxed expression.
, didn’t stand up until she came forward.
"Ah Shou, why are we going to Qin Garden? I heard that Zhang Chen has been searching Qin Garden since he returned here. Not only Qin Garden, but also the neighboring gardens. I heard that they were searching there urgently, and it became a mess."
"Because of this, Zhaoyuan, as the first place to spread the news, has to have corresponding condolences and expressions. Let's go to Qinyuan and tell Zhang Chen what the results of our inspection were and how many people were imprisoned.
, take the initiative to publicize the family scandal, and other families who have to go to war because of the information we passed will be less resentful, right? "
Just thinking about it carefully, Miss Zhu suddenly realized. When she turned around, she found that Ah Liu had brought out the horses of the three of them at some time. She was impatient and sent someone to find Mother Li again, and immediately called a person at the door.
The general ordered to deliver a message to Mother Li, and immediately jumped on the horse. Seeing Zhang Shou getting on the horse with Ah Liutuo's help, she immediately shook the reins vigorously.
"Quick, let's go!"
Just as Mother Li and her party had just arrived, Zhang Chen was chasing after them. Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying Ah Liu set off from Zhaoyuan and trotted on their horses. In less than half a cup of tea, they had already reached the boss who was also circled by the lake.
At the gate of Qinyuan in a piece of land. Before they could dismount, Zhang Chen's angry roar came from inside.
"Private weapons, as well as gold and silver antiques of unknown origin, forget it... There are actually more people in Qinyuan who are not on the list, and not one or two, but seven. You are going to rebel.
