Chapter 574: There is a bottom line
Heard Zhang Fan say this. Liang Chao's heart is not to mention how weird it is. Zhang Fan is not a serious and meticulous person. People who do not distinguish between public and private. But Zhang Fan has never gone too far. Well, after all. There is such a thing as human affection. No matter how big an official you are. How much status and wealth in the hands. It is also unavoidable without safety.
It's like some people who have become high-ranking officials or have made a fortune. If someone in the family comes to take refuge. Even the man had never looked at himself before. But now he's coming over and slapping you. You can't just deny your six relatives. After all. The idea of family. It has a special place in the hearts of the Chinese. It's not something that can be easily shaken. If you really don't have any affection. In the future, your family will be talking nonsense outside. Another bunch of troubles.
But if you're soft-hearted. I found a job for my family to do. But it's not necessarily a good thing. It's not that people are capable enough. Sometimes they use your name to make a fool of themselves. Cause a lot of trouble. That's more troublesome.
In a word. It's really hard to figure out what this human relationship is about.
Zhang Fan said that the matter was about Yingyue and Zhaoxue. Liang Chao really didn't think about anything else at first. But I also thought about this. He also thought that Yingyue and Zhaoxue had some old people coming. I want to ask Zhang Fan to help or something through them. Nature. Liang Chao is not incomprehensible to this situation. After all, Zhang Fan's father-in-law, Chen Wenchuan, is a person of what temperament. He understands it, too. It doesn't work from him. Naturally, it is easier to walk from Zhang Fan.
But this kind of thing. Liang Chao didn't understand why Zhang Fan was looking for him. In his opinion. Maybe Zhang Fan didn't want to help either. I just want him to find a reason to get those people back.
But Liang Chao felt that this was not the case. He thought of what Zhang Fan asked him at the beginning. Zhang Fan saw him just now. That's what I asked. Recently, nothing has happened to the people in the capital. That's the case. Apparently this is not the case. Liang Chao didn't believe that the old man who came to take refuge could have such a great ability. What kind of chaos can be stirred up among the people? So. Obviously, what Zhang Fan is going to say. It's not that kind of thing. It's something else.
Come to think of it. Liang Chao was also even more puzzled. He didn't know what this matter would have to do with Yingyue and Zhaoxue. He also knows a little about Yingyue's situation. If this matter is only related to Yingyue alone. It's still a bit of a possibility. But it's also about Zhaoxue. Then Liang Chao didn't dare to think about it.
After all. What is Zhaoxue, Zhang Fan's fourth lady, like? Although Liang Chao doesn't know too much. But I also know something. How to say it. Zhaoxue gives people the feeling that she is a child who doesn't grow up. As a child. Mess-making is possible. But something big happened. Basically impossible.
And. Although this time. Yingyue and Zhaoxue often go out. But Zhang Fan's people will also protect them in secret. Liang Chao also knows this. And during this time, Liang Chao did not receive any news that something happened to them.
But now. Zhang Fan suddenly said this to him. It made him feel that there was something wrong. Although he didn't see it until now. I didn't expect any problems at all. But at the same time, he also understands that Zhang Fan is not a person who listens to the wind and rain. Since Zhang Fan said so. That means he must already know something. In that case. Liang Chao had to start rethinking. And. He also carefully observed Zhang Fan just now. found that Zhang Fan didn't seem to be joking. Understood the importance of things.
"Your Excellency. I don't know. What the hell are the two ladies...... Something happened. Liang Chao asked cautiously. After all, it's about Yingyue and Zhaoxue. And they are all Zhang Fan's concubines. Even now, Zhang Fan took the initiative to ask him. But Liang Chao is Zhang Fan's subordinate. Naturally, you have to be careful. He didn't want to make a mistake with that kind of thing.
"This ...... Is this ......" Zhang Fan was not too easy to answer for a while. After all, he was sure there must be something going on here. But all of this. It's all because of what Luo Linger said to him. And what he felt in his own heart. This is what makes him sure that something must be going on inside. But. It's all about it. There is no evidence at all. It's all his thoughts. Now Liang Chao asked him so. He could never have told him that all this was determined in his heart. But there is not a shred of evidence on the outside.
If this is said. Liang Chao must not say anything on the surface. But I definitely don't think that Zhang Fan cares too much about Yingyue and Zhaoxue. In that case. Not only will it not solve the problem. There is also the possibility that your subordinates will misunderstand something. That's not good.
Think of these. Zhang Fan simply closed his mouth. Say nothing. I'm not going to say anything.
Not to mention. Zhang Fan's trick of keeping his mouth shut is really effective. He just didn't speak. Liang Chao took a look. I thought I was asking some sensitive question. This time. Liang Chao didn't have anything on the surface. But I was also scared in my heart. This is a vain criticism of his posture as an official. In particular, Zhang Fan's concubine room is also involved. This kind of thing is not what a person who is a subordinate should do. I don't know how many people lost their heads because of this. It just disappeared without a trace.
Although Zhang Fan is a good person. And he is the commander of the brocade guard. Zhang Fan can be said to be quite good. At least since he took office. It's been three years now. But he really hasn't wronged a good person.
But that's just business. But if it comes to personal matters. What will Zhang Fan look like? No one has ever seen it. And no one wants to see it. I don't even want to think about it. To know. Perfect. Everyone has a bottom line. Maybe this kind of thing is Zhang Fan's bottom line. But one point crosses that line. What will Zhang Fan become? Nobody knows. No one wants to know.
Liang Chao is not a fool. He understands that. So he wouldn't be stupid enough to want to see what the scene was that he didn't want to see. To know. Curiosity is greater than the lethality of the sword on the battlefield. On the battlefield. Although it is said that the sword has no eyes. But it is not completely without the possibility and hope of survival. But once the person is on something. What is compared to the things that he does not have the ability and qualifications to touch now, which generates great curiosity. That was absolutely fatal. Five out of ten such people died. Five more are probably gone.
Frankly. For what Zhang Fan said. Liang Chao is really a little curious. But Liang Chao is ten people who can understand the indiscriminate. He knew that there were some things he wasn't supposed to ask. He was able to control himself.
"Your Excellency." Liang Chao thought about it. I decided to be the first to speak. "But what do you have to do with your humble duties?"
That's a good idea. Don't ask. Just ask Zhang Fan what he can do. After all, Zhang Fan had already found him. There must be something going on. Liang Chao doesn't need to know what happened. He just needs to know what he should do.
Listen to Liang Chao say this. Zhang Fan's complexion also eased a lot. Truly. Able to stop making a fool of himself in front of his subordinates. Especially although Zhang Fan still doesn't know what this matter is like. But it's best not to be ugly. Besides, he is really looking for Liang Chao now to let him do something.
"Hmm. DID YOU KNOW. Where have the third and fourth ladies been these days. Zhang Fan asked.
"Back to my lord." Liang Chao thought about it. Said. "The lord explained that he wanted to protect the two ladies secretly. If it weren't for something big. Don't dedicate yourself. This time. The two ladies really didn't have anything to do. The lowly subordinate only wrote down the daily travels of the two ladies. It's just a matter of submitting it. I've seen some of them. A few months ago. The two ladies went everywhere. I have visited a jewelry store. Where to sell rouge gouache. And places like Taoist temples or monasteries. The two ladies also go every day. But most of them are very messy. In many cases, it is the two ladies who rise up and go. And the two ladies always travel together. Even shopping incense is no exception. ”
"Hmm." Nodding. Zhang Fan thought about it again. Asked. "Then are there any places that the two of them go to regularly?"
"This ...... It's not too much attention. Liang Chao thought for a moment. Said. "I would like to ask your forgiveness for being sloppy here. After all, nothing happened to the two ladies in the past few months. The lowly position is not like looking at the records handed in below every day as before. ”
Nodding. Zhang Fan said: "I don't blame you for this. Tell me about it. But there's something weird about it. ”
"Is it weird......" Liang Chao lowered his head. I thought about it carefully. "There's really nothing weird. Or let people send all the things that remember the two ladies. Let the adults take a look. ”
"Hmm. Don't send it here, though. I'll go over and have a look in the afternoon. "Zhang Fan is afraid that things will be sent. In case the family sees it. But it's not good. "The last time you looked. But what's the problem? ”
"The last time I look at it. It's already last month......" Liang Chao thought for a while. Said. "At that time. Both ladies went to the same monastery for three days in a row. It is said that it is more beneficial to go there to worship Guanyin. and the lowly duty did not go to the heart. ”
Although Liang Chao said it easily. But Zhang Fan listened carefully. Last month. Of course, Zhang Fan will not forget. Luo Ling'er told him when Yingyue and Zhaoxue had a problem. It started last month.
Come to think of it. Zhang Fan couldn't help but be alert.
