When Zeng De ran back to the inn, he realized that he had been tricked. So what if he ran faster than a horse? Their manpower was limited. Even if they knew about this, they couldn't rush to arrest people in front of the Heaven and Earth Gate.
Lin Chong who stopped him was obviously playing tricks on him.
However, he was still very honest and explained everything clearly to Zheng Chenggong. After listening to what he said, Zheng Chenggong was noncommittal. He neither said that they wanted to participate nor that they would just let it go.
So Shi Lang and the others went out happily, ready to get involved, but Boss Zheng didn't stop them and let them go.
After everyone left, he knocked Zeng De hard on the head: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I asked you to go over just to say hello to Lin Chong and the others. Why do you want to participate in these irrelevant matters?
In the little things?"
Zeng De was also very aggrieved. He was originally going to attend a wedding. After saying hello dutifully, he prepared to have something to eat and then retreated. Who knew that the bride suddenly died halfway through?
To appear guilty as a thief, and to appear to have ulterior motives for not leaving, is it easy for him?
He was discriminated against and ridiculed along the way. How difficult it is to come back alive. Boss Zheng is so inhumane! Boss Zheng, who is completely inhumane, came over and said, "So, who killed that bride?"
"
"You really want to know?" Zeng De looked at him sideways, Zheng Chenggong nodded and waited for the next step.
As a result, Zeng De snorted coldly and went directly upstairs: "If you want to know, just sit there and think about it slowly. Maybe you will figure it out by nightfall."
Zheng Chenggong: Who dared to talk to your elder brother like this with his courage? Isn’t it that I have been too kind to you recently? Isn’t that right!
At this time, Lin Chong was sitting in the carriage and eating peanuts leisurely. Although the wine he bought on the road was not as fragrant as Lihua Zui, the weather became warmer as he went south, and the people he took with him also became warmer and his mood became better.
That's good, I'm not so picky anymore.
Yuan Qingfang has asked Lin Chong this question many times, but every time Lin Chong used the excuse "the secret must not be leaked" to frustrate her. Today he had to ask for a result.
"Are you really not interested in what happened in Xinyi Village? You don't want to know who the person who took Xu Youer and the others was in the first place?" She didn't quite believe Lin Chong's nonsense that knowing or not knowing could not change anything.
"I guess your nonsense can fool Master Lin. Maybe he will even write a letter for you to hang up." Yuan Qingfang mocked Lin Chong.
This die-hard old fan seemed to be a completely different person than when Lin Chong saw him before. The old man with an air of immortality was thrown away who knows where, and was replaced by a man who could not wait to follow him all day long to give this and that.
Star-eyed fanboy.
Lin Chong swore that he really couldn't tolerate this kind of old fans. Having Ren Zanhua was enough to embarrass him, so he hurriedly ran out of Ande.
It was rare that he was in a good mood at this moment, so he answered Yuan Qingfang's questions: "It's not that I'm not curious about who it is, but I can already roughly guess who it is, so there's no need to waste time there."
"Where did you guess that?"
"From their common life experience, can you tell that there is an obvious thing in common between them?" Lin Chong reminded.
"What they have in common? These selected children seem to be the result of Hans and Manchus being together. Is this the reason?" It's not that Yuan Qingfang has never thought about what they have in common.
"Yes, the reason why he chose such a specific target must be related to his own experience. Among the big shots you know, which one has similar experiences to them?" Lin Chong blinked.
"Among the big shots I know? That's like...King of Zhou?!" Yuan Qingfang said tentatively. After all, her words were suspected of slandering the royal family, which is a serious crime.
Lin Chong nodded approvingly: "Isn't he the only one? His mother was originally a Manchu noblewoman. She married far away from the Central Plains for his father, but she died in depression within a few years."
So he can also understand where these children learned their wrong values. It’s strange that he can learn to be a patriotic and good young man with such an anti-human and anti-social teacher! Lin Chong can now finally understand the school’s requirements for teachers.
How important it is to instill in them correct ideas and concepts during class!
He himself lacked childhood and had a shadow, so he went around looking for these children who had similar experiences to him, and then encouraged them to take revenge on society so that they could better serve him.
"These kids should have done a lot for him back then, and they were all very loyal to him." Lin Chong sighed, but it turned out that this guy was so cruel that he wouldn't let anyone marry him even if he wanted to.
Yuan Qingfang disagreed with his point of view: "If he really wanted to clean up these former chess pieces, he would have done it long ago. Why would he choose it at such a time of war and chaos? I think Xia Qing's death was entirely caused by Xu Youer himself.
Whether she was looking for someone to design it or actually doing it on the sedan chair, she did it all by herself. It is not necessary for King Zhou to make a personal decision on such a small matter."
What she said was not unreasonable. King Zhou had taken in these homeless orphans from various places. When Xia Qing and the others wanted to retire, he did not make any obvious intervention. It seemed that they were left to their own devices.
.Isn’t he really worried about someone betraying him? Or is he not afraid of others knowing at all?
There is also Zeng De. The most regrettable thing this time is that he could not see his boss. But thinking about what he said to himself before, he may know where he is going and has the same destination as him, so he will naturally
When we meet again.
This brief meeting left him with a very strange feeling. If it were just about Zeng De, he didn't feel much hostility. Could this mean that the mysterious man who had been secretly observing or even deliberately inspecting him had a negative attitude towards him?
No hostility?
This time on the road, he asked Mao Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan in advance and suggested that since they had no place to stay for the time being, they might as well go to Nanjing together.
Mao Bijiang really didn’t have any destination. He just wanted to go south. He also considered that now in Nanjing, it would be good to have a friend with whom he could talk. It was also rare for Xiaowan to have a female companion to chat with.
, one more person also means more care, so I agreed with this thought.
In order not to disturb each other, the two families each took a carriage and drove back and forth to Nanjing.
