Chapter Ninety-Seven: Avoidance

When Mrs. Liu brutally tied Liu Chunyang back to Chang'an City, Mrs. Zhang gave Zhang Liantang a choice, he believed that Zhang Liantang knew the seriousness of the matter, and Zhang Liantang also gave an answer very simply as Mrs. Zhang expected.

He chose to stay in the capital and chose to continue doing this.

"I don't lie to my grandfather, I don't say that I haven't done anything, I don't know anything, and I don't know that as a descendant of the Zhang family, I should put the family first, what I want to say is that I didn't do this because Xue Qing was my friend. ”

"Friends can do wrong things, and it's not because she's my friend that I defend them indiscriminately. ”

"I have seriously thought about this, as Pei Yanzi said, as a courtier of the Great Zhou, it is a matter of social affairs, how can I not ask? Maybe my grandfather wants to say that there are many courtiers in the court, why don't others ask, we can't control others, at least we can be the masters ourselves. ”

"I am not only a descendant of the Zhang family, but also myself. ”

"Of course, it is undeniable that I think so, or because Xue Qing is my friend, I know her, I am familiar with her, and I have seen what she does. ”

"Grandfather, I believe in her. ”

"But rest assured grandfather, I am not carrying a knife to question, let alone naughty childishness to incite anything, but I cannot leave at this time, and I cannot avoid abandoning my friend because he has become a traitor being hunted down. ”

"Misfortune does not come because it is avoided, it is not because of a certain person, but because of something, and if this matter is not solved, the disaster will always be there. ”

The arrogant and arrogant young man! Mrs. Zhang threw the letter back on the table, and Mr. Zhang looked a little worried.

"It was said that he would no longer party again, and that this delivery should have been delivered. He said.

Mrs. Zhang said: "What is said over there is not necessarily credible, don't think that if we speak, everything is under our control." He shook his head, "People are the most difficult to control, there must be people over there who were bought by them and came to coax us, we are old, Liantang they are young, there are always people who prefer young people, and it is useless to dislike us when we are old." ”

Master Zhang wanted to laugh a little, but held back.

"In addition to daily expenses, Liantang can't move any other money. He said, "No matter what you do, you can't do it without money."

Old lady Zhang said: "Who knows how these young people do things, I didn't expect to be able to read such a big battle when I said that I could read, and the people in Chang'an Mansion will be in turmoil." ”

It seems that he was really angry with his descendants, and his words were full of angry complaints, and Master Zhang said cautiously: "Then I'll go in person and tie them up." ”

Mrs. Zhang said: "I have already said that he will choose for himself, and now that he has chosen me and then regretted it, wouldn't it be a reversal?"

So what's going on, Master Zhang is a little helpless, what's the use of sulking at home, in fact, what kind of face to talk to these children, I should be like Mrs. Liu, I am Lao Tzu and I have the final say....

"Zhang Cocoon, Zhang Cocoon, are you hiding at home to cultivate immortals?"

The shouts of Old Lady Liu came from the door of the house.

"Old lady, old lady Liu is here..."The little guy also ran in with sweat at this time, and the old lady Liu behind him had already pushed him away and walked in.

It is rude to come to the door without telling him, but who can help him? Master Zhang stepped back, and Old Master Liu sat down directly.

"Zhang Cocoon, what's the matter with you, why is your child still in the capital?" he shouted angrily.

Mrs. Zhang said: "I'm not sick to death." ”

Old lady Liu said: "Don't be weird with me, I hate you scholars like this, I know everything in my heart, I don't say anything about life or death, the surname Pei, I am kind enough to remind him, his phoenix nonsense will bring disaster to our Chang'an Mansion, that old guy directly gave me a whole bunch of reflexive shrinkage, saying so righteous words, why do you still lock Pei Yanzi up in a relative's house in the capital? ”

Master Zhang couldn't help but say, "That's not what it means." ”

Old Lady Liu didn't speak, and Old Lady Zhang snorted and said, "It's not that Old Lady Liu hasn't read, he doesn't understand anything, and he needs your advice." ”

Master Zhang stepped back and said no more.

"What are those boys of your family still doing in the capital? Your Zhang family is not afraid, but our entire Chang'an Mansion is a grasshopper on a rope, don't cause trouble for everyone." Old lady Liu said, "That kid... Small.. If Xue Qing doesn't catch it for a day, it will be a disaster for a day, don't look at the calm now..."

Old lady Zhang glanced at him and interrupted, "Now it's calm?" and then laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" said Old Lady Liu unhappily.

Old lady Zhang said: "It's nothing. Then he asked, "Where has your grandson gone?"

Old lady Liu said with a little pride: "I have already walked to Qingyang City." ”

It is still seven or eight days away from Chang'an Mansion, and it is even farther away from the capital.

Old lady Zhang nodded: "It's very slow." ”

Old lady Liu said unhappily: "That's better than those who are still in the capital." "Don't underestimate these boys, these guys are fascinated by that Xue Qing, and when the time comes, they will also engage in meditation and reading in the capital to force the palace, and there will be a big mess, don't think they don't dare." ”

Old lady Zhang nodded: "Yes, these boys are really brave. Leaning on the handrail again, "Old Seven, do you say that this Xue Qing is really the emperor..."

Old lady Liu subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "I think...", and sat up straight again, "How do I know if it's true or false, I'm not familiar with her." "Hate glare, "That's the matter of the court adults, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Old lady Zhang laughed: "When did you become so timid? ”

Old lady Liu said: "What is this matter? What is the big thing, what do you say, it is your turn to come to me?" shook his sleeves and got up, "This matter is not trivial, she walked out of us, and we are also stared at in the eyes of the court, if you are not careful, just wait for bad luck." ”

Old lady Zhang smiled and nodded: "You're right. ”

Mrs. Liu strode out, and Mr. Zhang hurriedly followed and sent him out, and when he came back, he saw Mrs. Zhang talking to himself.

"That's right, I'm also staring at it, if you're not careful, you can't do it. ”

"Dad, I'd better go and bring them back from Liantang. Master Zhang said, "Old lady Liu is right. ”

"He's a. Old lady Zhang snorted and said, "That's a big liar, you listen to him fool." ”

What are you fooling about? Master Zhang was puzzled.

.....

.....

"Mrs. Zhang was fooled by her grandson. ”

At this time, on the carriage, a steward gloated at Old Lady Liu.

"I inquired, Mrs. Zhang let his grandson choose by himself with his face, he thought that his grandson listened to him, but Young Master Liantang refused to come back. ”

Master Liu San immediately smiled: "Father, that Liantang is just a jinshi and became an official, everyone treats him as a good child, and they all forget that this kid formed a gang to provoke trouble and fight when he was a child, our Chunyang was a lot of people with him at that time, what is the old lady Zhang proud of, now he has a headache, where can it compare to our Chunyang..."

Old lady Liu squinted at him and said, "What are you proud of? If I hadn't let people tie him up, would you think he would have come back?"

Old Master Liu San sneered and complimented: "So you are more powerful than your father, unlike Old Lady Zhang, who wants to save face and suffer crimes." ”

Old lady Liu said: "You mean I have no face and no skin?"

Old Master Liu shouted, the carriage and horses had stopped, and Old Lady Liu jumped out of the car without the help of the old lady Liu with his sleeves thrown up, and there was already a servant in front of the door to greet him.

"My father is angry with me. Master Liu San whispered aggrieved.

The steward helped him get out of the car and whispered, "Father and son." ”

Master Liu San said: "The key is that I don't have a father and a son..."

The steward laughed dryly, and thought of something to divert the topic: "But there is one thing, the old lady probably forgot, and only let the young master of Chunyang come back, but he did not stop his expenses." ”

The cost? Mr. Liu San was puzzled.

"That means that Young Master Chunyang can still spend money casually..."The steward said.

Before the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind them, everyone turned their heads, and the old lady Liu, who was stepping up the steps, also stopped and frowned.

Groups of officers and soldiers galloped on the street, and there was a noise in the distance.

"What's wrong?" asked Master Liu San in surprise, and the next moment he knew, because a team of officers and soldiers arrived at their door, led by the government office.

Old lady Liu raised her hand: "My lord, are you going to raid the house again?"

The general judge who dismounted stumbled on the footsteps, and knew that these old guys were not easy to gnaw, so the four of them came in person.

The old lady laughed. He smiled helplessly, "It's not a house raid, it's a routine search." ”

Master Liu San said: "Didn't you search it? Then Xue Qing is not in our house." ”

Without waiting for the general judgment to speak, a general behind him said with a cold face: "This time it is not Xue Qing who is searched, it is Xue Qing's classmates, but all his classmates must be searched." ”

Schoolmate?

Old Man Liu San's color changed: "Why!"

The general said: "I found out why after searching." ”

What an answer to this!

The general judgment said: "This is an order from the imperial court, everyone bear with it." ”

Old lady Liu laughed and said, "Lord Tongju said that he was joking, if you should search, we will follow the order." "When you get out of the way, so do the people.

"My family has a grandson who is a classmate of Xue Qing, but he is not at home, and he is on his way back. ”

The general judge and the general obviously knew who he was talking about, and the roster in his hand was ready.

"Young Master Chunyang is coming back. "The verdict is humane.

Old lady Liu nodded and said, "Yes, you see that I am sick and dying, let him come back and meet him." ”

The general judge and the general looked stunned at the old lady standing on the steps with the golden ball in his hand, which was really invisible.

.....

.....

Chang'an City was in a noisy city, and it seemed that there were screams and disputes everywhere.

"What is this?" the woman's voice trembled.

"Mother, it's okay, it's just a search by the government. Leting said, holding the woman in front of him, and looking at the soldiers who were rummaging through the cabinets in the room.

The books on the shelves were all turned down, and they were being looked through by a few soldiers.

"Let's see if there's this. One of the generals whispered, showing the soldiers a piece of paper with a small red pattern printed on it.

The soldiers looked through it carefully, and the pages and covers were opened.

"My lord, no. "They checked it and came back.

The general glanced at the mother and son standing there, the young man looked calm, and the blind woman was uneasy.

"Let's go. He said.

Hearing the officers and soldiers leaving, the woman grabbed Le Ting's arm: "What's wrong? Why did you come to search us?" ”

Le Ting said: "It's still Xue Qing's business." After a pause, "We were probably searched because I was classmates with Xue Qing." ”

The woman sighed in surprise and said, "Then half of the people in Chang'an City are her classmates." ”

Leting said: "Yes, half of the people in Chang'an City are suspects. ”

.....

.....

"You can't do it all at all. ”

There was no sound of reading in Liudaoquanshan Social School, and the students who were supposed to be in the school stood in one place, looking at the soldiers walking through the school, listening to the sound of books, tables and chairs toppling over, and their expressions changed from surprise to anger.

"What the hell is going on? Xue Qing is not in Chang'an Mansion, you have already searched it, why do you still need to search?"

The general in charge here looked indifferent: "It's not Xue Qing who is searching this time." ”

"It's not Xue Qing, that's us?"

Shouts rang out among the students.

"Search us, why search us?"

"Is it because Xue Qing is going to school here?"

"Young master, young master!" shouted from the bottom of the mountain, and a little man came running out of breath, "The house has also been searched, and the master is anxious to ask if you have done something that you should not do! ”

This sentence was suddenly like water in a pan of oil.

"Could it be that because we are classmates with Xue Qing, we are all suspects?"

Liudaoquanshan Social Studies was boiling, and when he leaned over to see more small people running on the mountain road, he conveyed the horror of his family and asked them to stop reading and avoid trouble.

Mr. Zhou stood on the cliff, looking at the chaotic social studies, his face was blue and trembling.

"Ridiculous!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms and shaking his sleeves.

.....

.....

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why did you start searching us?"

"Wronged, although I am studying in social studies, I don't know Xue Qing. ”

Chang'an City was full of noise, panic, and anger.

There were people running and shouting in the streets.

"Got it, I know why. ”

The people gathered in the street suddenly looked over and saw the idler with a frightened expression and said, "There is a commotion in other places, say, say.."

"What do you say?" shouted the people in the street.

"Saying that Song and Yuan stole the country, Xue Qing is the true emperor. The idler shouted.

There was a pause on the street, and then there was an uproar.

.....

......

"Yes, there is a commotion outside, but Chang'an Mansion is calm. Mrs. Zhang stood in the courtyard, the courtyard of the house was deep, and she could also hear the noise from the street, "The most honest place, but it is still difficult to escape being searched, guarded and suspected, it is really infuriating and helpless." ”

Master Zhang said: "But I'm really surprised that Chang'an Mansion has been calm, when I heard the commotion outside, I thought that Chang'an Mansion would spread immediately, it seems that there is indeed no party in Chang'an Mansion." ”

Old lady Zhang smiled and said, "If there is no comrade, why is Chang'an Mansion calm? ”

.....

......

Chang'an Mansion fell into chaos and noise, and it was quiet in Qingyang City not far away on a warm spring day.

There are not many people at Qingyang Post Station during the day, and those who are in a hurry do not stop, and those who want to stay have not yet arrived.

"Young Master Chunyang. With the birdsong by the window, a small servant pushed the door in and looked at the young man sitting in front of the window.

The spring light shone on the side face of the young man through the window lattice, and his face was much thinner, and he focused on sketching something on the paper, and did not stop because the little girl came in.

The little guy approached and whispered, "The last one has been delivered." ”

Liu Chunyang hummed, but his expression was still solemn.

"The seals, books, letters, and seals were destroyed, and none of them were found. The little guy continued, "Also, the news that Song Yuan of Chang'an City stole Emperor Xue Qing has also been released. ”

Footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a few crisp birdsongs, and another servant came in, holding a letter in his hand.

Her letter. He gasped.

Liu Chunyang turned his head and got up and reached out to take it, looking at the small red seal on the letter.

"The last one. The little guy said, "Everything else has stopped." ”

Liu Chunyang nodded, opened it and saw a thin piece of paper inside, only two words "received", the font had not been seen for a long time, his gaze was retracted, and he put the letter paper and the envelope into the incense burner together, and then he exhaled heavily.

"How much more money do you need?" he asked.

The two little servants were silent for a moment, raised their heads and said: "The capital still needs five hundred taels of silver, and another carriage and horse need three hundred taels along the way." ”

Liu Chunyang nodded and raised his voice to call people to the outside world.

After a while, a steward came in with a sad face: "Young Master Chunyang, are you about to leave?"

Liu Chunyang said: "It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Is it too late?" the steward glanced at the sun outside.

"Also, I'm going to buy something, and you pay for my two little guys. Liu Chunyang said again.

The steward's brows were even more sad, but he didn't dare to say anything, and he kicked and kicked and went out with the two little guys, endured the pain and gave the money, and leaned on the chair to gasp.

"Haven't you heard back at home?" he patted his heart and said, "The old lady still didn't remember to stop the permission of Young Master Chunyang to spend money? ”
