Chapter 108: A Thunderbolt from the Clear

The good weather outside could not change Zhong Shiwei's dull mood in the slightest, his closed eyes kept rolling, and his fingers were anxiously drawing something on the table next to him. The subordinates no longer dared to come forward to disturb their master, just yesterday, a guy who didn't know the height of the sky was reprimanded by Zhong Shiwei for his many words, not only that, but also deducted his monthly silver this month! Although there is no flesh and skin to suffer, but a month's moon silver can be confiscated, and that punishment is quite heavy.

Therefore, at this time, the people who have already learned from the past are trying to stay away from Zhong Shiwei as much as possible, but they don't want any trouble to happen to them!

The herbal tea at hand has been added several times, but Zhong Shiwei's head is still chaotic and has no ideas. In the dark, Zhong Shiwei seems to feel that his incense-making career has reached a bottleneck, and he wants to get rid of the predicament in front of him, but it is like being wrapped in layers of silk cocoons, and he can't find a way out.

The nobleman he once carried has now become a stumbling block on his way forward, but Zhong Shiwei doesn't dare to kick away such a stumbling block, let alone kick it away! Now Zhong Shiwei has a sense of powerlessness that he can't stop. Just as he was meditating and feeling upset, the deafening sound of firecrackers outside freed Zhong Shiwei from his distress, his eyes were half-open, and the continuous sound of firecrackers was higher than one another. Zhong Shiwei shouted "Someone", and a young man ran in tremblingly, and before Zhong Shiwei could ask, the young man knelt on the ground on both knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy like pounding garlic.

Although the rules of the Zhong Mansion are big, they are not so big! Zhong Shiwei frowned and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

"This ...... This one...... Master...... Small...... The little ones don't dare to say! The young man was already trembling, whether it was a beating or a confiscation, he couldn't bear it, not to mention that in such a situation, it was very likely that it would be both! Even if he is new here, he already knows Zhong Shiwei's mood, but even if he doesn't want to come, it's impossible, and those old guys won't spare him!

"What don't you dare to say? Say it! Zhong Shiwei asked angrily.

"Back to ...... Back to the old man...... No...... Oh no...... "The young man is still young, and he didn't see Zhong Shiwei angry, and he was even more frightened at the moment.

"What's wrong? Take your time? Looking at the trembling subordinate, Zhong Shiwei asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Old ...... Master...... Opposite side...... Newly opened a home...... Family...... The shop ...... "The young man's head was on the ground, but the voice still trembled and reached Zhong Shiwei's ears.

"It's just a shop, why are you so flustered?" Zhong Shiwei frowned, and an inexplicable anger had risen. knew that the other side might open a shop, but when he really heard such an answer, it still made him angry. The firecrackers outside continued, but in his ears Zhong Shiwei had become a torture horn that devoured the last patience.

"Yes...... Nothing to panic about...... Can...... That shop seems to be ...... It seems that he also sells rouge gouache......" Zhong Shiwei was so angry that he wanted to stand up, but just when his body wanted to leave the chair, his head was inexplicably dizzy, and then he felt a dark shadow glancing in front of him. Zhong Shiwei leaned back on the back of the chair, rubbed it with one hand on his temple, and after a long time, the black shadow in front of him gradually receded, and the figure of the kneeling young man in front of him reappeared clearly in front of him.

It's just a newly opened fat powder shop, but Zhong Shiwei felt the sadness rising from the soles of his feet, and he asked with the last trace of luck, "Can you see the name of that fat powder shop?" ”

"Back to ...... Back to the old man...... It seems like...... It seems to be ...... Don't look back! ”

Three words, like five thunderbolts, Zhong Shiwei felt that his eyes were dark again. All the strange things that had happened before were clear in his mind again. He understood why he hadn't seen the owner of the house for so many days. He also understands why he has asked so much for so many days and still has no clue? He understood better why the workers refused to confide in him! He also understood why he didn't see the plaque on the other side just last night! It turned out that everything was hiding from him, and it turned out that everything was trying to catch him off guard! It turned out that everything was premeditated by Xiao Zheng!

Originally, Zhong Shiwei wanted to take some measures after finding out, but unfortunately, the sky did not follow people's wishes, and their backers were wrecked one after another, and it was impossible for them to take care of Zhong Shiwei's affairs when they were too busy to take care of themselves. Not only that, but his business is also anxious, and he has no time to be distracted. I thought that after a while, when the situation calmed down, my business would turn to normal again to deal with Xiao Zheng. It's a pity that Xiao Zheng didn't give him this chance to buffer, and he had already come to him with a fierce momentum.

At this moment, is it fear, is it worry, is it fear or is it regret for the past? Zhong Shiwei's heart was upset, and he asked again as if he didn't hear clearly, "Are you sure?" ”

"Small...... Small...... Sure, because the plaque on that shop is small and you can see it clearly......"

Don't look back! Xiao Zheng! Opposite side! These words are connected, Zhong Shiwei can only think of the word revenge, and he can't think of anything else! It's obviously a matter of self-deception, but now Zhong Shiwei has no way to deceive himself! The so-called good ones don't come, and those who come are not good. At first, he Xiao Zheng was still hiding in Tibet, but now he has become blatant! What does this mean? With Zhong Shiwei's understanding of Xiao Zheng, he is fully prepared, and next, it depends on how they fight!

The streets, which were so clean in the morning, are now bustling with traffic. The firecrackers had burned out, but the dazzling red confetti scattered in all directions under the breeze, and occasionally a few of them even blew under Zhong Shiwei's feet, making his suffocated chest breathless.

Mo Hui's plaque has been hung high, the black bottom is gilded, and the surrounding is matched with dazzling satin red, all of which looks so flamboyant. The gilded characters shone faintly in the sun, as if they couldn't open their eyes just by looking at it.

There are already a lot of people gathered, but Zhong Shiwei can still see Xiao Zheng at a glance in the gap of the crowd! Today he is very proud, wearing a blue-green satin robe to dress up the thin old man very noble! Zhong Shiwei's eyes still appeared in front of him the slightly shabby image in the rainy day many days ago, he really couldn't believe that such two very different images turned out to be one person!

Another lively shout interrupted Zhong Shiwei's train of thought and made his depressed mood even more desolate, and there was another distinguished guest on the other side, Zhong Shiwei recognized it, it was the left servant who had dealt with him, Master Song.

Zhong Shiwei smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, it was just a left servant shot, executives in the capital abounded, and a left servant shot couldn't explain anything at all.

I saw Lord Song walking in front of Xiao Zheng with the official steps that had been formed over the years, Xiao Zheng clasped his fists with both hands and shook gently, but he didn't expect Lord Song, who had a very big official frame against Zhong Shiwei, to salute him with the same courtesy! The shock of this ordinary scene to Zhong Shiwei was simply too great, for so many years, he thought that he had gained a firm foothold in the capital and gained status, but now it seems that the person who was driven by him is the real winner.

Zhong Shiwei's footsteps almost trembled. For so many years, he has become accustomed to being a halo figure on this street, and he is used to the flattery of others, but today, he is like a shadow under the sun, even if he stands there, no one comes to look at him, not even a look! It was as if he and his Linglong Pavilion were just an inconspicuous existence!

Zhong Shiwei's face was already pale, and the people around him were already so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies! has followed Master Zhong for so many years, and such a situation is indeed rare! Today, they finally understood it, and the taste of it was indeed uncomfortable.

Behind Xiao Zheng, Zhong Shiwei's trance eyes seemed to see Lan Hong's figure, although the fat fat man was full of seriousness, he could also see that he was full of caution, and there was still his handsome young man standing beside him, who had almost become his Zhong Shiwei's son-in-law! But right now, not only is there no son-in-law of Chenglong, but even his own daughter is ...... Thinking of this, Zhong Shiwei couldn't help but quietly clench his fists.

After a while, the right servant shot Master Li also came happily, which was a lively greeting. is exactly the same as the meeting scene of Lord Song, Lord Li is also polite to Xiao Zheng, and he does not have half of the official master's frame. What's even more infuriating is that these people don't seem to be afraid of the heat, and standing behind Xiao Zheng seems to be waiting for someone.

It's been a long time since this street has been so lively, and the last major event seems to have happened is the funeral of the old magistrate, and the scene at this time is simply better than then! Just when Zhong Shiwei's eyes were also full of anger, a huge private sedan chair was slowly lifted to the door surrounded by eight people, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down, and Xiao Zheng, who was surrounded by everyone, also immediately tidied up his clothes, walked to the sedan chair respectfully, bent down and picked up the sedan curtain with his own hands, and a majestic figure walked out of it, Zhong Shiwei only glanced at his eyes, and suddenly gasped in fright, the person who came turned out to be the privy deputy envoy Zhang!

In the eyes of everyone, there seemed to be only Xiao Zheng on the opposite side, and they didn't look at the Linglong Pavilion on the opposite side at all, let alone take him, the master of the Linglong Pavilion, as a thing! After a few greetings and polite greetings, everyone surrounded Xiao Zheng and the privy deputy envoy and walked into the door of Mo Hui. Outside the door, only Lan Yi, Nanfeng, Feng Yao, and Fluttershy are left outside to greet the guests.
