In the night, He Wan'er's carriage went farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared.

Shao Ning looked around a little nervously before returning to the car with Xiaoya.

He was the first to discover the problem, and only he knew the danger best.

Dong Xiaoya's beautiful eyes glanced inadvertently, and found that he kept fiddling with the corners of his clothes, and his face was flushed thoughtfully, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother Shao, but is there something wrong?" ”

Shao Ning moved his lips before he wanted to speak, and then shook his head casually: "It's nothing, this son is just a little sad to say goodbye to the old man." ”

This explanation is far-fetched. Everyone has been getting along for a long time, and Dong Xiaoya knows that he will only behave like this when he is nervous. However, since people didn't say it, she just nodded and didn't ask.

Shao Ning's heart went up and down, and many thoughts kept pouring out.

On the day Father-in-law Zhang came, he saw each other on the road. At that time, he just thought that this person was a little familiar, but he didn't have a clue for a while, and then he left the matter behind.

A few days later, he had a nightmare in the middle of the night, and when he woke up sweating profusely, his mind suddenly became clear, and a seemingly very unfamiliar figure slowly took shape.

You can't go wrong, it's him!

A few years ago, Shao Ning had accidentally read a letter that his father had written early but had not sent. The letter was a few years old, and he still remembered that his father mentioned in the letter: Although Gonggong Zhang was not as favored as the first emperor when he was there, he also had a weight in his words in the inner court, and he was the object of many people's scrambling.

After a period of time, after hearing a lot of anecdotes in the circle of his son, he went to ask his father about Zhang's father-in-law, but who knew that Shao Yuanwai not only kept it secret, but also scolded him loudly and drove him away, and seemed to be completely reluctant to mention this person.

At that time, Shao Yuanwai had always disliked him for not doing his job, and it was common for Shao Ning to be blamed at every turn, so he was not surprised by this, and he didn't care too much about it.

Half a year later, a group of sons and brothers who were either rich or noble were invited to a banquet at a certain Hou Ye's house. Because Shao Ning's father is a lowly businessman, he can only accompany the last seat, but he has never refused to come to this kind of scene, and he is also comfortable with it.

After three rounds of drinking, he was a little anxious to go out, but he got lost in the Hou Mansion. As he walked, he approached a secluded spot where two people seemed to be talking.

Shao Ning wanted to step forward to talk, but when he heard the content of their conversation, he was frightened into a cold sweat, and the smell of alcohol all over his body dissipated in an instant, and the whole person no longer dared to take a step forward.

"Today's saints are deceived by villains...... Father-in-law Zhang was wronged for no reason, and his ambition in his chest could not be extended, and now he can only take charge of the pickled place of the teaching workshop......"

Not a single word here should have been heard by him, the son of a merchant.

Shao Ning wanted to turn around and leave, but there was a faint voice behind him. As a last resort, he had to hide behind a rock, hoping not to be discovered.

The two chatted about the time of the incense stick again. As they walked, they happened to pass by where Shao Ning was hiding, and behind the stones, he could see the two faces clearly through the hole in the rockery by the light of the lantern outside.

It wasn't until the sound of talking and laughing completely dissipated that Shao Ning ran out tremblingly, and "escaped" out of the Hou Mansion along the same road.

Because he was so frightened, he was deeply impressed by this scene.

In the previous dream, Shao Ning dreamed that he had exposed his whereabouts and was killed on the spot. He woke up screaming when he woke up, only to realize that it was just a dream.

Now that I think about it, wasn't it just one of the two people I saw on the road two days ago?

In charge of the teaching workshop, Zhang Gonggong...... There is only one person who meets this condition!

As for the other one, Shao Ning had seen it at the banquet that day.

He is the guest of honor of the Hou Ye, His Royal Highness King Zhao!

Suddenly recalling the terrible past made Shao Ning very painful, but he couldn't care about it now.

The entanglement between King Zhao and Xiao Jing doesn't need to be talked about anymore, right? After Xu Jiren's incident, the disgraced King Zhao and Xiao Jing formed a bond. If President Xiao is not the son-in-law of the Xia family, I am afraid that the grass on the grave is a few feet high.

And the relationship between Gonggong Zhang and King Zhao seems to be extraordinary, just from their intimate and even rebellious conversation that night.

On the day Father-in-law Zhang came to Puhua Town, Xiao Jing received news from He Wan'er's parents. Although Shao Ning did not participate in Xiao Jing's meeting with him, Wan'er was from the teaching workshop, and it was very likely that the person who sent the letter was Gonggong Zhang.

In this way, everything is logical.

Shao Ning, who smelled the smell of conspiracy, wanted to remind him, but Xiao Jing was in Yangling County, so it was too late even if he wanted to send a letter.

The situation is so weird, and He Wan'er, who is in the game, is likely to be in danger. As a last resort, Shao Ning found Lu Shanshan's people through the way Xiao Jing stayed, and they took out He Wan'er, who was ignorant of danger, from the workshop.

It is likely that the mastermind behind the scenes is just afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he has no idea of fighting Wan'er for the time being. Without further ado, he immediately begged Lu Shanshan's men to send Wan'er to the grassland to save her.

This arrangement is very thoughtful, and there is only so much Shao Ning can do.

He knew that the crisis around him had not passed: He Wan'er was just a supporting role, and Xiao Jing was the unlucky guy in this game, and he was also the real target of others.

However, Shao Ning really couldn't do anything. Therefore, he will hesitate and be confused.

Brother, what's wrong with you?

If Xiao Jing, who was under heavy surveillance, knew about Shao Ning's hard work, he would definitely be moved to tears.

However, he could only hold back in a small room, staring at the window in a daze.

I will be in the capital in two days, can the matter be resolved smoothly? My father-in-law should have received the news, I wonder what he will do? Xue'er is pregnant, so it's better not to let her know about this, lest she get angry in a moment......

What is the trouble of those who are secretly targeting me? Hey, I just want to do something down-to-earth, so I don't have time to play with you. Being framed like this, it's really a Buddha who also has fire!

Xiao Jing thought about it with his hands on his back for a long time, and finally felt a little sleepy. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a very soft noise, as if something had fallen from the window to the ground.

Then, there was a commotion outside. The sound of the bang is quite a special rhythm, which is very different from the past.

Xiao Jing immediately got out of bed. Searching the ground, he found a small silver ingot wrapped in cloth. Carefully breaking it open, he pulled another note from the hollow silver ingot.

After reading the contents of the paper by the moonlight, Xiao Jing's face showed a look of shock. For a long time, his face was cloudy, and he silently crumpled the note into a ball, opened his mouth and swallowed it......
