Volume 2 A Light and a Night Walk Chapter 71 Only friends can solve worries
Zhao Ning's face was expressionless, and he was not surprised by Wu Shaochen's reaction.
He knows that vomiting is a normal reaction when people are extremely uncomfortable and miserable.
It seems that Wu Shaochen's pain is indeed very deep, and it is also the depression caused by the current situation of having no place to be in himself, unless he is desperate with Zhao Ning, it is really impossible to solve it - Zhao Qiyue is still in the Governor's Mansion, and Wu Shaochen has no chance to fight with Zhao Ning, so he can only force himself to the point of vomiting blood and fainting.
Zhao Ning didn't have to have Wu Shaochen learn to bark at the dog, and the situation in front of him made him very satisfied.
What is certain is that in the future, in the Governor's Mansion, Wu Shaochen will no longer be able to raise his head in front of him, and he will have to walk around him, let alone go-for-tat with him, otherwise, as long as Zhao Ning mentions the gambling contract and the other party's tragic situation today, Wu Shaochen will once again face a situation of self-shame.
Shi Feng glanced at Zhao Ning, Wu Shaochen, who was lying in the blood water, was already like ashes, and his appearance could be described as very miserable, but Zhao Ning seemed to turn a blind eye to this, his face was calm and his eyes were waveless, there was no pity for his colleagues, and there was no happiness to teach his opponent a lesson, as if he had never put Wu Shaochen in his eyes, and he had just stepped on a grasshopper.
This made Shi Xuan's heart shake, and a strong fear of Zhao Ning rose, as well as a trace of fear that he didn't want to admit.
As for the officials of the Governor's Mansion who gathered outside the door, most of them were shocked, and Zhao Ning's cold attitude and ruthless approach to their opponents made them feel a chill. Some officials from Jiangmen, who were not close to the Zhao family, also told themselves at this time that they should never go against Zhao Ning unless they had to.
Wu Shaochen's subordinates carried him away for treatment, Shi Xuan pressed down the messy mood in his heart, and expressed his affirmation of Zhao Ning with a smile, and there was a sense of closeness and dependence in his words and demeanor.
Turning his head and calling Zhang Zongqi, Shi Xuan said with a smile: "The case of Feixue Building has been firmly held in the hands of our Duwei Mansion, this case is very important, and it involves the master of the Yuan Shen Realm, so Zhao Zongqi will inevitably not be able to take care of it alone."
"Zhang Zongqi from now on, lead people to assist Zhao Zongqi with all his might, all actions in this case are arranged by Zhao Zongqi, you must not leave Zhao Zongqi half a step, if Zhao Zongqi has any mistakes, this official is the only one who asks!"
Wu Shaochen couldn't count on it, so Shi Xuan could only push out Zhang Zongqi, who was not very useful.
said that he was helping Zhao Ning, but who didn't know that if Zhao Ning wanted to deal with the case of a powerhouse in the Yuan Shen Realm, he would definitely use the power of the family cultivators, and there was no need for Zhang Zongqi to help.
Shi Fu did this because he didn't want Zhao Ning to enjoy the credit for solving the case alone, so that Zhang Zongqi and his people could get a piece of the pie afterwards. In order to prevent Zhao Ning from throwing off Zhang Zongqi, Shi Fu made a special mention that he wanted the other party to follow Zhao Ning and not leave for half a step.
"Then there is Lao Zhang's general flag. Zhao Ning hugged Zhang Wenzheng's fists, indicating that he did not resist the other party's participation in the case.
Shi Xuan's mind is not a big problem, and he doesn't care, eating alone in officialdom is a taboo, and there is always a distinction between people if there is merit, there is no need to get along with Zhang Wenzheng for this, and turn a guy who is a mess into his enemy.
"Mr. Zhao is polite. Zhang Wenzheng hugged his fists in return, still looking like he was going to die and was not alive.
Zhao Ning has no bad feelings or good feelings towards this down-and-out middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples, as long as the other party doesn't block him, he won't make it difficult for the other party to do errands. immediately took Zhang Wenzheng to his class room, and discussed the case of Feixue Building with the other party in a serious manner.
As Zhao Ning expected, Zhang Wenzheng did not have any useful opinions on solving the case, basically what Zhao Ning said, he responded to it, and when Zhao Ning asked him what he thought, there was nothing else except the sentence "listen to Zhao Zongqi's arrangement".
Zhao Ning knew that the officials above the sixth rank of the Duwei Mansion, when Wu Shaochen was already lying on the hospital bed, Shi Xuan could not use much, except for Zhang Wenzheng, there was only one master book left, and he couldn't get the master book to listen to him.
Zhao Ning thought that if Zhang Wenzheng did not agree with Shi Fu's wishes, it was estimated that in two days, Shi Fu would personally participate in the case, and if it really came to that time, Zhao Ning was afraid that he would not have the leading power in this case.
The time for the errand came quickly, Zhang Wenzheng was not polite, and after Zhao Ning signaled that he could leave, he went out cleanly, without procrastination or nostalgia.
It seems that even if Zhao Ning wants to investigate the case overnight, he may not be there, and the so-called inseparability with Zhao Ning is limited to the period of the trip. Dealing with errands so carelessly, even Wei Wuxian gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"Alright, let's go too. ”
Zhao Ning waved his hand, asking Wei Wuxian not to slander Zhang Wenzheng behind his back, after all, they had just arrived in this Governor's Mansion, and they had not yet mastered many things, who knew if there would be ears across the wall.
Out of the gate of the Duwei Mansion, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian took a few children and rode slowly down the street.
"Let's go to Yipinlou first. They are the main body of the operation tonight, and this is the first time we have joined forces, so we must be there to sit down. Zhao Ning pointed out the way forward for the team.
In the early winter, the day is already very short, the sunset has just slipped down from the towering eaves of Yanping City, the twilight can't wait to fill the sky, in the streets and alleys where the lights are up, the people who are in a hurry consciously or unconsciously speed up their steps a few points, and the figures stretched by the lights are close to each other, staggered, and far away, telling the silent clutch in the vague cold wind.
Smelling the aroma of food wafting out of the kitchen of an unknown house, listening to the call of a woman who doesn't know who asked the child to come home, Zhao Ning, who was moving forward in the flickering lights, watched the dark blue sky gradually dyed black, and suddenly remembered a poem: Where is the sunset township, the Yanbo River makes people sad.
No, it wasn't that he suddenly remembered it, but it was this poem that habitually came to his mind when he looked at it in the twilight.
The twilight is like smoke, but he shouldn't be homesick, his home is in this Yanping City, but even if he retracts his gaze, the faint sorrow and loneliness still linger in his mind, lingering, and he brows and goes back to his heart.
This is a habitual sensuality that only comes after being reborn - it may not be accurate to say that, it should have followed him from his previous life. In that world where the beacon has endured for many years and the mountains and rivers are broken, when he runs south and south after one battle after another, in the ruined city and desolate wilderness, and looks back again and again at the mountains and rivers in the north, he sees Guanshan and Guanshan, and thinks of his relatives and friends who died in battle out of sight, and his heart will surge with such sorrow.
He felt a pain in his chest, an indescribable pain, which seemed to be lonely, the ultimate arc, and he felt the joy in his heart, a joy that could only be experienced beyond words, it seemed to be happiness, so he suddenly became urgent, shook the whip on the horse's buttocks, and drove quickly in the direction of Yipinlou.
Whether it is the sorrow of the twilight or the loneliness of being in the bustling market, the only ones who can dispel this emotion are true friends, bosom friends. Rebirth is like a long journey, a journey destined to be lonely, and only a good friend can soothe the soul – no matter how good the wine is.
If you don't drink wine with friends, it's just a tasteless drug that induces intoxication, and it doesn't enter the stomach but the heart and lungs.
When he came to Yipinlou, as soon as he got off the horse, Wei Wuxian ran up, grabbed Zhao Ning, and said with an embarrassed face: "When you get in front of Erniang later, you have to behave normally, don't be noticed by her! If I let her know that I like her, brother, I won't be able to look up in front of her!"
I have to say that Wei Wuxian's basic life is really simple, so simple that it is ridiculous and cute. Zhao Ning laughed three times, shook his sleeves and strode into the door, looking extremely happy. Wei Wuxian, who was stunned in place, was confused, and didn't understand why Zhao Ning was so excited and so profligate.
At night, there were no people in the teahouse - the most guests were in the afternoon, Zhao Ning had just arrived and went up the stairs, and before he reached the second floor, he saw Su Yeqing with red cheeks. She greeted her, Yingying squatted, her voice was as soft and good as ever: "Zhao Gongzi, you are here." ”
"Yes, I'm here. When Zhao Ning saw Su Yeqing, his heart brightened a little, as if a beam of bright sunshine was shining in, and his smile was also very kind.
Su Yeqing is always ashamed, she likes to bow her head and whisper the most, like a weak cat, Zhao Ning has seen a lot of this in her previous life, but she is as pure and transparent as a clear spring, as if she has the ability to wash away the filth in the world, which is what Zhao Ning cherishes the most.
On the way to the private room with Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian, Su Yeqing took Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian on the way to the private room, Hu Erniang, who had gorgeous makeup, walked in a straight line with two straight legs, walking towards her face step by step, smiling before speaking, and covering her red lips and said coquettishly: "Zhao Gongzi, Wei Gongzi, the slave family is waiting for you two in a hurry!"
With a bang, Wei Wuxian somehow tripped himself up when he walked down the flat corridor, his tower-like body rushed forward suddenly, almost falling down, but he finally stabilized his body in time, and his footsteps stepped heavily on the floor, but there was a rumbling sound.
Wei Wuxian's face immediately flushed, and he glanced at Hu Honglian with a weak fist, "See...... I've seen Hu Erniang!" After speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head, not having the courage to look at the other party again.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Ning had the urge to hold his forehead with his hand and couldn't bear to look at it again, this fat man also told him not to behave abnormally before entering the door, and now he has just arrived in front of Hu Honglian, and he has lost his temper so much, so that Zhao Ning doesn't know what to say.
Hu Honglian's watery eyes glanced at Wei Wuxian deeply, and he didn't say anything, just smiled more charmingly and brightly, bent down and stretched out his hand to invite, and let Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian enter the private room.
After sitting down, Hu Hong Lian took away his smile, became serious and dignified, clapped his hands, and a young man entered the door and saluted Zhao Ning with a fist: "Zhao Gongzi's grace of saving each other is unforgettable, Zhao Gongzi will be driven in the future, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Wan Mou will never frown!"
Through Su Yeqing's introduction, Zhao Ning knew that the young man in front of him, who was tall and handsome, was the third master of Yipinlou, and he came back to life by "purifying water and purifying life".
In his previous life, Zhao Ning didn't know each other, which means that before the outbreak of the national war between Daqi and Beihu, this person was no longer alive, and it is estimated that he died in the battle with the White Clothes Society.
"Zhao Gongzi, all the manpower of my Yipinlou has been assembled and standby, and Sanqing Sword has also received our silver, now that the master is exhausted, how to act next, just wait for Zhao Gongzi's words!" Hu Honglian said solemnly.
Zhao Ning bowed slightly.
Prior to this, the Liu family wanted to use the power of the government, taking advantage of the Feixuelou case, to cooperate with the market gangs to act together to complete the annexation and unification of the Jianghu forces in Yanping City.
Now, the Liu family no longer has this opportunity, and Zhao Ning will use the same strategy to achieve the same goal!
