Xiao Zheng saw Zhuang Xing's slightly changing face, and guessed what he might be worried about, and took the initiative to provoke the conversation, "What does the owner of the Zhuang family think of Guan Shangshu?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Zheng asked about his opinion of Guan Shirong, Zhuang Xing couldn't guess his intentions for the time being, and hesitated, "Your Highness should be clear about the grievances between our Longhumen and the Taiyue faction, in fact, the grievances of the rivers and lakes are inevitable, and I can't tell who is right and who is wrong." As for Zhuang and Guan Shangshu, they don't have any personal grievances, they can only be said to have their own positions, so it is inconvenient to comment on Guan Shangshu below. ”

Seeing Zhuang Xing's caution, Xiao Zheng nodded secretly in his heart, knowing that this was a smart person, "What the owner of the Zhuang family said is very true, and this king also thinks that it is not appropriate to settle the dispute, if the owner of the Zhuang family is interested, this king intends to be a middleman, and resolve the misunderstanding between you and each other, what do you think?" ”

Zhuang Xing didn't expect Xiao to mean this, and he didn't dare to refuse immediately, "Zhuang has no opinion, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say, Zhuang should obey." It's just..."Zhuang Xing's face changed for a moment, "It's just that this can only be regarded as resolving the personal grievances formed in the Criminal Department the day before yesterday, as for the matter of the Dragon Tiger Gate and the Taiyue faction, Zhuang really can't be the master, so he can only wait for the Dongfang Gate master to come out of the customs before making a decision." I don't think Guan Shangshu can also be the master of the Taiyue faction, and we can only try to reconcile the two factions from the middle. ”

Of course, Xiao Zheng knew that he couldn't mediate the grievances between the Dragon Tiger Sect and the Taiyue faction, and he just wanted to plant a seed now, "What the owner of the Zhuang Sect said is reasonable, and this king doesn't want to see any misunderstanding between you, which will aggravate the grievances between the two factions." After all, the matter of the criminal department was caused by this king, and this king is also very sorry in his heart, so it is good that the owner of the village can understand. ”

"Your Highness is serious, this is my fault of Longhumen" Zhuang Xing heard Xiao Zheng's words, and immediately got up to make amends, "Your Highness is broad-minded, forgive me for the great disrespect of Longhumen, it is already the blessing of my Longhumen, don't dare to blame His Highness." ”

"Hey~" Xiao Zheng pointed to the chair and signaled that Zhuang Xing didn't need to stand up, "The owner of the Zhuang Gate also said just now, the matter of the Dragon and Tiger Gate is the responsibility of Dongfang Qiming, and this king still appreciates the owner of the Zhuang Gate personally." ”

As the deputy head of the faction to deal with affairs, Zhuang Xing of course heard the meaning of Xiao Zheng's words, and immediately stood up and thanked him, "It is an honor for Zhuang to be appreciated by His Royal Highness, what does His Highness command, as long as Zhuang can do it, he will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire!" Of course he won't and doesn't dare to ignore it, at least he must get Xiao Zheng's intentions.

"Okay, the owner of the Zhuang family is quick to talk, and the king will not hide it" Xiao Zheng seemed to be very satisfied with Zhuang Xing's statement, "The owner of the Zhuang family sat down and spoke first, and there is no need to be formal here in this king." ”

Then Xiao Zheng talked to Zhuang Xing very "heartily", "Master Zhuangmen, you also know that this king has just returned to the capital, and many things need to be familiar and handled, and there are not many available people around him now." Judging from the ability of the owner of the village to deal with things this time, this king appreciates it very much, if he can get the help of the owner of the village in the future in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I believe that it will definitely be like a tiger with wings~" After speaking, Xiao Zheng quietly watched Zhuang Xing's reaction.

Zhuang Xing listened to Xiao Zheng's straightforward pull, his eyes kept turning, thinking about how to answer Xiao Zheng, he could neither shirk nor agree unreservedly, otherwise he Zhuang Xing would really become the minion of the imperial court and the eagle dog of the prince.

Xiao Zheng looked at Zhuang Xing, whose expression changed, and did not let him reply immediately, this was not his original intention, "The owner of the Zhuang family does not need to reply to this king immediately, this king has patience." This king repeats, this king appreciates that you are the owner of the village himself, not a dragon and tiger door, the owner of the village should not have any concerns, as long as the owner of the village figure it out, this king will definitely leave a bright avenue for the owner of the village here. ”

Seeing Xiao Zheng's statement, Zhuang Xing didn't dare to hesitate at all, and bowed to the ground, "To be so valued by His Royal Highness, Zhuang is very grateful, Zhuang is not a person who does not know how to lift, His Royal Highness allows Zhuang to think for a while, Zhuang will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory answer." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," said Xiao Zheng picked up the teacup and began to drink tea, "The owner of the village gets up and drinks tea~hehe~"

Zhuang Xing looked at Xiao Zheng's intention to send off the guests, and immediately got up and said goodbye, "Your Highness, Zhuang has been in the capital for many days, Longhumen is busy with affairs, if His Highness has nothing else to order, Zhuang wants to return to Yangzhou first" and then immediately expressed his loyalty, "Wait for Zhuang to enter Beijing next time, I will definitely come to greet His Highness again!" ”

Xiao Zheng nodded, and didn't leave him, "Okay, since the owner of the village has something important to do, let's go back first, this king's words will always be valid." ”

"Your Highness Xie, Zhuang will definitely not let His Highness wait for a long time!" After speaking, he bowed and took his leave.

Seeing Zhuang Xing turn around and walk out of the Linchi Courtyard, Xiao Chunzi asked Xiao Zheng suspiciously, "Your Highness, why are you so optimistic about Zhuang Xing?" And looking at his current appearance, he may not accept your solicitation. ”

Xiao Zheng drank tea leisurely, as if explaining to Xiao Chunzi, and as if he was saying to himself, "Don't be in a hurry, as long as you plant a seed in his heart, and when you have the right opportunity, it will definitely take root!" ”

"I just don't know when it will sprout," Junko shook her head without confidence.

"Hehe~" Xiao Zheng is full of confidence, "The day when Dongfang Qiming goes out of the customs is the time when this seed germinates!" ”

After drinking the cup of tea, Xiao Zheng put down the teacup, got up and walked out, "Let's go, it's been a few days in Beijing, it's time to go see Brother Nianliang"

Following the address that Gu Feng told him at the time, Xiao Zheng walked all the way to the ancient style street in Xicheng, next to which were all shops with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which was also a good place to be quiet. On the way, I asked pedestrians and went directly to the door of Xu's house.

The door is a little shabby, but it is relatively clean, and it looks like it is often wiped down. Xiao Chunzi came to the door, knocked lightly, and came out an old man who was close to the sixtieth birthday, looking at Xiao Zheng and Xiao Chunzi at the door, feeling that the clothes were extraordinary, they should be the children of the big door, and respectfully asked Xiao Chunzi, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Let's find Gu Feng and Gu Gongzi, does he live here?" Xiao Chunzi asked the old man politely.

"Oh, you are looking for Gu Gongzi, he is a disciple of the master, and now he lives here" The old man saw that they were looking for Gu Feng, so he greeted him warmly, "May I ask what do you two call you?" I'll report to Gu Gongzi."

"You just said that Xiao Bufan and Xiao Gongzi came to visit, and he knew it~" Xiao Chunzi told the old man the name that Xiao Zheng used on the way.

"Okay~ Those two, please wait" After speaking, the old man hurriedly walked into Xu's house and reported to Gu Feng.

After a while, I saw Gu Feng running out of Xu's house, "Oh, it turns out that it's really an extraordinary brother, I finally looked forward to you, please come in~" Saying that, he pulled Xiao Zheng's hand and walked towards Xu's house, and didn't forget to explain to the old man, "Uncle Xu, please help us get a few side dishes, I and Bufan are going to have a good time!" ”

Uncle Xu promised to prepare wine and food.

Xiao Zheng looked at this elegant mansion, except that it was not very big and there was no garden, everything else was fine, and it was also quite an elegant mansion.

"Brother Nianliang, I just entered Beijing these days, I have a lot of things to do, I am really busy, I only came to visit today, don't blame you~"

"What did the extraordinary brother say, you can come to see me to give me face, how can I still blame it" Gu Feng said with a look of shame, "Actually, it is time for me to visit the extraordinary brother, but you didn't have a specific address at the time, so I had nowhere to look, or I would have gone to visit the elder brother a long time ago."

The three of them came to the living room, and Gu Feng's lady Liu hurriedly sent tea, although it was not too good fragrant tea, but it also quenched thirst. The two of them were indeed thirsty all the way here, so they talked happily while drinking tea and catching up.

After a while, Uncle Xu came over and said that the wine and food had been prepared, and invited them to eat, and the three of them went to the restaurant to eat together. Gu Feng has also been reading books and reviewing articles for the past few days, and he has no time to go out to meet other people, he is here for the goal of high school, and he can't slack off for a moment.

Xiao Zheng's arrival today gave him half a day of leisure.

The two chatted very speculatively, although they didn't drink much, but it didn't affect their high mood at all.

Looking at the wine and food that was almost the same, Xiao Zheng asked casually about the question he discussed with Li Yilong that day, "Brother Nianliang, seeing that you can let go of the sad past and cheer up again, on the day of high school in the coming day, I think Ling Zun will also smile Jiuquan~"

"Thank you Brother Bufan for your enlightenment, I have turned my grief and anger into strength, and I have always spurred myself not to relax, so as to comfort my parents' souls in the sky" Hearing Xiao Zheng mention the past, Gu Feng also sighed.

"Ling Zun is a good person, and he really shouldn't have encountered such a calamity. Brother Nian Liang, did Ling Zun offend someone or take something that shouldn't have been taken to suffer this misfortune? Xiao Zheng also led Gu Feng little by little to recall the Gu family's past.

"My father rarely goes out, so how can he offend anyone? Not to mention whose family's things are taken from, they are all things that my father gives to the neighbors on a blind date~" Gu Feng shook his head thinking about it, his father never had bad relations with others, how could he not be distressed by this calamity.

"Did he see any strangers?" Xiao Zheng continued to guide him to think deeply.

Gu Feng continued to shake his head, "That's even more no, my father has never gone out in our Jiayuan County, and I haven't had the opportunity to meet any strangers" Saying that, Gu Feng seemed to be sad again, "The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a day of reunion, and my father also went to Soft Moon Fang to order my favorite moon cakes." What a warm moment it is for this family to enjoy the moon and drink, who can imagine... "Saying it, I was already in tears, "Every time it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is already the death day of my parents~"

Thinking of this, Gu Feng was also sad, "Later, I wanted to order moon cakes from Soft Moon Fang to commemorate my parents, but I couldn't find it anymore~Alas~"

"What do you mean by this?" Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled by Gu Feng's words.

"Alas, it's also a coincidence, I only heard about it later, and it was also the night that the soft moon fang was burned on fire, and none of the five members of the family were spared~ It is also a great misfortune" Gu Feng was also full of sadness when he mentioned the soft moon fang.

Xiao Zheng picked up his wine glass, pondering the coincidence, could it be that there was a connection?

Now is not the time to tell Gu Feng what is wrong, Xiao Zheng can only continue to comfort Gu Feng and ask him not to think too much, the current autumn test is the focus of.
