Then, events unfolded beyond anyone's expectations.

Zhao Chengcai actually came back, not only came back, but also brought back the good news that he was alone and wiped out all the bandits. If this story is told, it is really singable and crying, enough to be called a legend.

It is impossible that after Zhang Qingting heard about it, this word first came to his mind. In that bandit's den, if Zhao Chengcai poisoned one or two people to escape, it is still possible. But to say that he was able to wipe out this gang of robbers on his own would be obviously too amazing. But she didn't care about that, she just asked, "What about others?" How are you doing? Is it safe? ”

Meng Zhan couldn't help nodding, "He is very good, although the injury is indeed very serious, but Jingzhao Yin Yamen has already invited a doctor to treat him." Because you have already alarmed the Holy Hearing by suing the royal complaint before, Lord Yin of the Mansion does not dare to let him go home without permission. When I returned, he had already entered the palace to face the saint. I have to wait for the emperor to send it down, and I can come back if I want to. ”

When Zhang Qingting heard him say this, he calmed down a little.

Zhang Jinbao breathed a sigh of relief, with a little smile, and looked at the eldest sister, "It's finally over."

Zhang Qingting didn't see the slightest joy, and secretly thought in his heart, I'm afraid that the trouble has just begun, how could Yan Bozhai let go of Zhao Chengcai for no reason and gave him such a big gift? Is that what Zhao Chengcai promised to do for him?

Zhang Qingting was full of doubts, but Meng Zhan's words boiled down to the end, "Don't think about it, since everyone is back, it's always a good thing." When you meet him, you will naturally know the details. ”

As he was talking, Qiao Zhongda also rushed over and brought the latest news, "Brother Zhao has entered the palace to face the saint, and the emperor has also ordered the imperial doctor to be summoned, and he should have stayed in the hospital at night, and I have already entrusted someone to take care of him." If it's okay, you can come back tomorrow morning. ”

Now there is a quasi-horse in the palace, and it is really much faster to inquire about the news. It's just that Qiao Zhongda was also a little puzzled, but he didn't say it in front of everyone, but he gave a look and asked Zhang Qingting to the side before he said, "This morning, a woman in my shop came to report that Mr. Zhao was trapped in a carriage and horse shop, and the shopkeeper notified me, and when I rushed over again, he had already escaped from the trouble and went to the yamen." ”

Zhang Qingting understood what he meant, the woman who went to him to report the news was probably from Zhao Chengcai's original instructions, but what happened after that was not within Zhao Chengcai's control.

Qiao Zhongda thought that this was a little strange, so he pressed the matter down and didn't mention it to anyone. I just paid attention to the follow-up development of the incident, and it wasn't until I saw that the dust seemed to have settled at this time, so I came to Zhang Qingting to make her mentally prepared.

Zhang Qingting thanked him, but also congratulated him with a smile, "When I saw Princess Yuzhen in the palace that day, she was really a wonderful person, and I also congratulated you in advance." ”

Qiao Zhongda's face was slightly hot, Princess Yuzhen was indeed much better than he imagined, even for Qiao Minxuan, this family business would not be difficult in the future, but he smiled and left a sentence, "It's just that if there is a place to trouble Mrs. Zhang in the future, please help me a lot." ”

That's nature. Zhang Qingting understands that the royal son-in-law is not easy to be, Qiao Zhongda must not be a willing chess player, if he wants to do something in secret, he has to have someone to help.

The two looked at each other, each understanding. Qiao Zhongda was about to leave, Meng Zhan deliberately waited to go with him, and when he went out, he suddenly asked about something, "I heard that you are very familiar with the jade tea trailmaster of Tianyiguan?" ”

Qiao Zhongda was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, "Something?" ”

Meng Zhan smiled faintly and knocked on the side, "I'm just strange, the people you work with are really strange." There are even Taoist priests who look at the sky, which is really rare. Why does it have to be him? ”

Qiao Zhongda faintly felt that he was asking a strange question, but there was nothing to hide, "Although Yuming is a Taoist priest, she is not a monk. In the past, after I decided to engage in business, I had to ask the old master Ziyang Zhenren to personally take him to do something, and if he returned to the vulgar in the future, it would also give him some ability to make a living. ”

Meng Zhan asked, "Then what is his own plan for the future?" ”

Qiao Zhongda smiled, "He is very interested in going to sea, and he has already said that when the spring flowers bloom, he will go to sea with the boat." ”

Meng Zhan nodded approvingly, "Good men have ambitions in all directions, and it's always good to walk around." ”

"Isn't it?" Seeing that he didn't want to break the story, Qiao Zhongda didn't ask anymore. In fact, he is not without curiosity about Yuming's life experience. He is not the only little Taoist priest in Tianyiguan, but why does Ziyang treat him differently? Even Yuming's share of his business was also given by Ziyang, and the amount was not small.

As the years go by, it is self-evident who Yuming looks like. There should still be people who can see it, but no one has said anything. Occasionally, I laughed a few words in private, and I quickly stopped.

After all, it seems impossible to think about it, if it is really royal blood, how can it fall to the people? Even if he goes to the people, he must avoid it as far away as possible, how can he live in Tianyiguan so generously, and specially send him to clean the royal inner hall?

But if there really wasn't a problem, why did Meng Zhan suddenly ask? He was the most shrewd and capable man, and if he hadn't found some tangible evidence, he would definitely not have chased after the wind like ordinary people. It seems that this mystery will have to wait for him to solve it. Qiao Zhongda was suspicious and left.

Meng Zhan was in the sedan chair going back, and he was also thinking about whether to meddle in his affairs and solve this mystery. If things really turned out to be as he imagined, then why hadn't the two seen each other for more than ten years?

He had already sent someone to investigate, that Taoist temple had fallen many years ago, just when the old Taoist aunt was about to die, and now this new Taoist aunt had just come over. The time happened to be the same year as when the jade tea entered the sky. Since settling here, the fairy girl has never left this village for half a step, not even going to the capital, so she lives in the countryside with peace of mind, and is willing to be indifferent.

But when things come back and forth, they can't be explained simply by coincidence. But even if Meng Zhan wanted to take care of this idle matter, he would never be able to come forward. If he wants to come forward, he will immediately break the quiet seclusion of the people, so what is the good intention to do bad things?

But how to test it, he didn't have a good idea after thinking about it for a long time, and then he pondered about Zhao Chengcai. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Yan Bozhai killing people and killing people, and he wants to show loyalty in front of the emperor.

However, his move is really high, and if he makes such a fuss, the emperor is indeed a little unsure of what to do with him in the end.

Thinking about it, I was really unwilling to know that this person had done such a hurtful thing, but there was nothing I could do about him. Now I don't know what to do to control Zhao Chengcai, so I am willing to let him out.

Meng Zhan couldn't help but sigh again, and his desire to bring down Yan Bozhai was stronger.

Suddenly, he had an idea, since Lian Yan Bozhai could kill his subordinates and give Zhao Chengcai a great achievement, why couldn't he also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and simply let others try to tie this good fate?

Seeing off Meng Qiao and the others, and regardless of what happened later, the family who learned that Zhao Chengcai was safe and sound were relieved. Zhang Qingting explained to Zhang Jinbao, "You go and tell Du Gong and Uncle He about this, and then bring it for us." ”

Zhang Jinbao went out, and Zhao Yulian took the initiative to find Zhang Qingting and talk about something, "Sister-in-law, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

The eldest brother didn't come back before, and she knew that her sister-in-law was not in the mood, and she was embarrassed to speak. But now that she knows that her eldest brother is safe, she wants to ask.

"Let's say it" Zhang Qingting vaguely guessed a few points, and waited for the sister-in-law to say it herself.

Zhao Yulian plucked up her courage, "Brother He was so seriously injured because of me...... He didn't have anyone around him to serve him now. Although Du Gong is his brother-in-law, there are some things, where can a big man have a woman who is careful? Although there is a girl, she is not so careful. So I thought, I ......"

She couldn't say it anymore, and Zhang Qingting took it for her, "So you decided to serve him and repay him for his kindness." But there is a difference between men and women, even if you have this heart, it is also inconvenient, so you want to discuss with me, and plan to make a personal promise. Even if you can't be someone's wife, you can be a concubine."

Zhao Yulian heard her sister-in-law crackle like this, and she didn't seem to approve of it in her tone, but she was stunned, and asked, "Is it ...... Am I doing something wrong? ”

Zhang Qingting sighed helplessly, "I said Yulian, can you not always be so kind?" You are willing to repay the favor, but are people willing to accept it in this way? It's okay for our family to bring it up, but will it make it difficult for the family? Besides, if you only want to repay your kindness, I advise you to die of this heart as soon as possible

Uncle He's vision is high, and he has long said that he wants to find a woman he really loves as a wife. If you still have some sincerity towards him, we can go and talk about it. But if it's just to return the favor, there's no need for it.

If you think about it carefully, if Uncle He is the one who asks for retribution, he will never make such a big sacrifice for you who is not related to you. For a man like him, now is the time when he is seriously injured and most vulnerable, but it is also the best and strongest, and he does not want people to treat him as a sick man or even a wasted person. I'm afraid you've misused this kindness."

Zhao Yulian said to her sister-in-law, her face was flushed, "Sister-in-law, don't say it, I know it's wrong"

Zhang Qingting sighed, "I can't blame you, after all, you have been in your aunt's house since you were a child, although you also follow her to manage some business, after all, you have never really shown your face, except for taking Wang'er, you have never gotten along with men and women of the same age." If you only know that people are good to you, you have to be good to others. But I don't know that the goodness between men and women still depends on the situation. ”

She thought for a moment, "Well, let's not jump to conclusions." If you want to take care of Uncle He, just go, as long as you don't exceed the rules, take Xiaoyu and them, and don't care about others. If you can really come out of adversity this time, it will be a good thing, but don't be stupid enough to always repay favors with yourself. You know what? ”

Zhao Yulian said happily and surrendered, "Sister-in-law, I know what to do." ”
