Chapter 287: A new official takes office

Not only for his mother, but also for her, the 'Brother Feng' who appeared when he was most desperate, no matter what she became, he decided to protect her in his own way.

After Zhang Dacai returned from Zhang Mingyang's place, his condition worsened after being stimulated, and he was talking nonsense vigorously, and the doctor who saw the doctor said that the situation was not very good.

Mrs. Zhang, who went back to her parents' house before Zhang's house, learned about the family. Something big happened, and when she came, things were already wrong, and the changes that happened during this period were too great, and Mrs. Zhang passed out without relieving herself.

Not long after, Zhang Dacai died of serious illness, and Mrs. Zhang died of martyrdom, this funeral was not sneaky, but a big operation, the door of Zhang's mansion was open, and all guests, regardless of whether they were high or low, could enter the mansion for three days.

This move spread throughout Chang'an, and the threshold of Zhang's Mansion was almost broken, regardless of whether the person who came was rubbing rice or not, Zhang's Mansion would not refuse to come, as long as Zhang Dacai was incense.

Soon this matter spread to the palace, Yu Wenmo heard about this move, and felt that Zhang Mingyang was a little interesting, plus he had a little impression of this name before, he asked the people around him a little, and someone mentioned Zhang Mingyang, who was supposed to take the palace test before, because he didn't come because of the accident, Yu Wenmo was a little regretful in his heart at that time, after all, it was undeniable to his literary talent.

As soon as the funeral of Zhangfu ended, a holy decree came from the palace, announcing that he would enter the palace for an audience.

On the way back from the palace, the officials who passed by him deliberately replied to him, and Zhang Mingyang responded very politely, leaving a good impression on those officials.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department looked at the back of Zhang Mingyang leaving the palace gate, and touched his beard, "It seems that in the future, there will be one more person in our court!" ”

"The Zhang family is the richest man in Chang'an, I thought that Zhang Mingyang was just a concubine, and he collapsed after the accident, but I didn't expect that not only the Zhang family would be well organized, but even the business outside was getting better and better, and it was really a blockbuster!" Tobe Squire praised.

There were other officials next to him who accosted, "The emperor has made an exception to give him another chance to take the palace test, this honor is unprecedented, it seems that this person's future is limitless in the future!" ”

“......”

“......”

In the past two days, the entire Chang'an City has been talking about the Zhang family, and the originally unknown Zhang Mingyang really responded to the words "Famous in the world" overnight.

In the teahouse, Nan Qiao took out this year's new tea and made tea for him, "It's tiring to deal with so many people recently, right?" ”

Zhang Mingyang took the tea she handed over and smelled the fragrance of tea coming out of the cup, "If you can drink the tea you brewed, Mingyang will not be tired all day long, and he will become more and more energetic!" ”

I think that the boy who was polite and embarrassed to speak at the beginning has now learned to joke, but Nan Qiao still has no expression on his face, and some are just polite, which is also a kind of protection for him.

Now that Zhang Mingyang is sharp, although Cen Xi has not pursued her for moving the Zhang family for the time being, it does not mean that he recognizes Zhang Mingyang to take over all the shops of the Zhang family in Chang'an City, you must know that the real owner behind these shops is Cen Xi.

"Presumably, the reward in the palace will come down soon, and you will have to take care of the shop at that time, and it is really not easy to take care of it!"

Zhang Mingyang said, "Yesterday, listening to the emperor's tone, I should be sent to serve in the Ministry of Rites, and the palace is generally only busy with receiving envoys and festival banquets, and there is nothing important to do!" ”

"That's not going to be better." Nan Qiao reminded again, "Take care of those shops, just do your best, what it was like before, it's best what it will look like in the future, understand?" ”

She knew that Zhang Mingyang had the ability to take better care of the shop, so she hinted that only by making Cen Xi feel that he was within the scope of control, he would not do anything to Zhang Mingyang.

Zhang Mingyang nodded slightly, looking at her with a more complicated gaze, "I understand." ”

Before dark, Nan Qiao returned to the house where he lived with Cen Xi.

As soon as she returned, she went to Cen Xi's courtyard, and as soon as she reached the door, she heard someone talking inside.

"Master, the poisonous arrow of his subordinates fell into the shadow and fell into the Broken Soul Cliff, and the abyss under the Broken Soul Cliff must be impossible to survive!"

"Have you sent someone to find it at the bottom of the cliff?"

"The subordinates have searched for it, the bottom of the cliff is too big, and the body of the shadow has not been found yet."

"Keep looking, if you live to see people and die, you need to see corpses!"

Nan Qiao outside the door knocked on the door quietly, "Xi, are you inside?" ”

The door creaked open, and I saw Nan Qiao holding a rattan in both hands, bending over slightly and hanging his head, as if he was guilty of pleading.

"Xi, I didn't ask what you meant, I moved the Zhang family without permission, and I asked Xi to punish you!"

Cen Xi stood in the door frame, was slightly stunned, and helped her up, "Qiaoqiao, I already know about this matter, I don't blame you, I only blame Zhang Dacai himself, how can I punish Qiaoqiao for others!" ”

"Isn't Brook really angry?" Nan Qiao raised his head, and there was an innocent look in his clear eyes.

Cen Xi stared at her little face greedily, and said gently, "Qiaoqiao is afraid that I will be angry and implicate Zhang Mingyang, right?" ”

Nan Qiao didn't rush to defend himself, but said, "Zhang Mingyang has been used to being suppressed by Zhang Dacai and his two brothers since he was a child, and now that we have handed over the power to him, he is grateful and will definitely obey us, unlike that Zhang Dacai, although he has been doing things for you, but he is extremely selfish, who knows what he will do one day, so..."

"Qiaoqiao is right, I am not angry about this matter, otherwise I would not let it develop, but Qiaoqiao explained a little too much." He stopped talking, reached out and gently stroked her face, and said affectionately and dangerously, "You must not bother with other men, otherwise I will be jealous!" ”

Nan Qiao smiled slightly, took a step forward, and leaned his face slightly against his chest, "Since I met Xi, no man in the world can enter my eyes, and I only do this for Xi, if Xi doesn't let me take care of these in the future, then I don't care!" ”

Cen Xi took advantage of the situation to reach out and wrap his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "You will be my woman sooner or later, of course you have the right to take care of my affairs!" ”

Late at night, on the Broken Soul Cliff, Nan Qiao stood there alone for a long time.

The night wind was blowing on the cliff, and she looked down at the dark endless abyss below, and sighed, "Are you really dead?" ”

Nan Qiao hypnotized the maid before going out and asked her to wear her own clothes to a small town outside Chang'an City.

In the past two days, she should be able to hide it.

If it weren't for her, Shadow wouldn't...

No matter what, go down and see, whether you are dead or alive, you must give yourself an explanation.

Nan Qiao casually found the vine on the edge of the cliff, tied one end to the tree, tied the other end to his waist, and found the steep path to the bottom of the cliff and climbed all the way down.

After reaching the bottom of the cliff, she blindly searched around, and after so long, she didn't know if he had left, and even if he hadn't left, he would probably have been hit by a poisoned arrow and would have been just a corpse.

When she thought of him, her heart always ached, although the effect of the Love Flower Gu was much better under the suppression of the Lotus Ring, she would still have that feeling.

Does she have affection for him?

She has only seen a man who has not met a few times, and she actually has feelings for him, I am afraid that she will not even believe herself when she says it, but every time she has a love flower Gu attack, it is for the same person.

She doesn't believe in love at first sight, only in a strange feeling, always unconsciously remembering this person.

No, he has some temperament that resembles someone.

Lighting the torch, she began to look carefully, even if there was a clue, the valley here was somewhat closed, and maybe there were wolves.

After searching all night, except for dealing with a few wild beasts, she didn't find any clues, and the white fog in the valley was so thick that she couldn't see the road a few meters away.

Just as she was about to give up, a small piece of black cloth hooked on a dead branch by the water not far away.

Nan Qiao walked over, reached out and took the material in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, the texture and color were very similar to the fabric of the clothes he usually wore.

There was nothing else to be found here, and Nan Qiao was secretly happy in his heart, presumably someone else was nearby.

At this time, in the palace, in the early dynasty, someone discussed the matter of Concubine Liu's smoke.

Since the prime minister was sent to prison, there have always been one or two people who have targeted Liu Feiyan, not so much against Liu Feiyan, but as if they wanted to take action against Mu Baizhuo.

This time, some people used the prime minister's collusion with foreign countries to make a big fuss, some people remained silent, some people held on to the matter, and asked Mu Baizhuo to hand over Liu Feiyan to prove that he did not know about it, and some people stood on Mu Baizhuo's side to speak for Liu Feiyan.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and the court officials quarreled endlessly, and when Yuwenmo was two years old, Zhang Mingyang, who had just taken office as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, stood up,

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a discussion."

Yuwen Mo raised his hand slightly, "Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, tell me your opinion." ”

"The new princess marrying into the Dongjun palace is a marriage given by the emperor, not to mention whether the princess has anything to do with this matter, just the matter of Prime Minister Liu has not yet been decided, and it remains to be examined in the evidence, the princess is not guilty, since the princess has married into the Dongjun palace, her identity is naturally noble, and there is no definite evidence to prove that the princess is also involved, so there is absolutely no reason to let the king of Dongjun hand over the person to be tried by the criminal department, which is one of the 135 laws of Daye law to try nobles."

After Zhang Mingyang said this, many people rolled their eyes.

He originally remembered Nan Qiao's words, the new official listened more and said less, and it was not appropriate to offend people if he had to keep a low profile, but Mu Baizhuo was kind to him, and he couldn't help but repay it, even if Nan Qiao was there, he would definitely support him in doing so.

Mu Baizhuo shot a glance at him, nodded slightly, and then didn't look at him again.

Yu Wenmo, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said, "Aiqing is right, the matter of the two families was originally a marriage by decree, and now that Concubine Liu is already a princess, she cannot be convicted without definite evidence, this matter can be discussed later, and the court will be withdrawn!" ”

After the next court, Mu Baizhuo and Zhang Mingyang walked in the alley, and many officials around them could not help but take a look at them, and it was obvious that these two people were afraid that they had become a party.

Mu Baizhuo's face was cold, "Your new official took office, and you are so close to this king, it is easy for people to hold the handle." ”

Zhang Mingyang just smiled, "The prince is the life-saving benefactor of the lower officials, and the lower officials have no reason not to help!" ”

Mu Baizhuo said, "Help or not, the emperor will not convict, why do you want to stir yourself into this troubled water." ”

Zhang Mingyang looked at the palace gate not far away, with a smile in his eyes, "Xia Guan believes that if Nan Qiao is standing in the court today, he will help you like Xia Guan." ”

Mu Baizhuo seemed to have captured some important information, stopped and suppressed his excitement and asked, "Qiaoqiao, where is she?" ”
