The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Yuan Kai's matter, what means did you kid use to make the chamberlain think that Yuan Kai is really crazy?"

How can the truth of this matter be said, in case Zhu Yuanzhang turns his face and ruthlessly says that he has deceived the king? Zhang Lu didn't want to be caught by the pigtails, so he could only pretend to be innocent and said, "Your Majesty, you have wronged Weichen, in front of you, how can I use this little trick? Yuan Kai is really crazy, Weichen promises."

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not see that Zhang Lu was not telling the truth? He just smiled, but he didn't break it, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you kid go down."

Zhang Yu saluted respectfully: "Weichen retires."

When Zhu Yuanzhang was left alone in the imperial study, he seemed to be talking to himself: "Yuan Kai is good, let him go home to recuperate for a few years, sharpen his temperament, and when the prince ascends the throne in the future, it is also good for Yuan Kai to enter the court again as a royal history."

……

Because of the "madness", Yuan Kai had to return to his hometown, although he was not very old, but this period of time when the imperial history also allowed him to see the bloody wind of the imperial court, he asked himself if he continued to mix in the officialdom, he would inevitably fall into the fate of a dead body, and now there is still life, which can be regarded as contentment.

Yuan Kai had no long belongings, sold the house in Jinling City, bought a carriage, and the rest of his belongings were only two packages plus a servant. Back then, he was in high spirits when he entered Beijing to take the exam, and he was also dressed in anger, but now that he is leaving, he seems extremely lonely.

The colleagues of the Inspectorate only came to see him off, and now that Yuan Kai has no official status, he naturally does not want his colleagues to be sent far away, so he waved goodbye to his former colleagues at the corner of the street.

The carriage was a little shabby, and the speed of movement was not fast, but fortunately, it was quite stable under the driving of the servant, and it had just left Jinling City, only to hear the sound of "hoo", the servant stopped the carriage, Yuan Kai in the carriage did not know why, and asked, "Why did it stop?"

The servant replied, "Young Master, someone has blocked our way."

This made Yuan Kai startled, and he still muttered: "Is there still a thief who dares to rob in broad daylight, we don't have any extra money."

Yuan Kai said, and his head kept poking out of the carriage.

But there was no one else in front of the carriage except Zhang Lu.

Zhang Zhen shook his head and sneered at Yuan Kai: "Brother Xian, your brain is really stupid to read, this is just out of Jinling, the capital of Gyeonggi under the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can there be an eyeless thief running here to rob?" Is this an old birthday boy hanging himself?"

Yuan Kai's feelings about Zhang Zhen are a little complicated, at first in the court, all he heard was Zhang Zhen's various gossip, but later the two came into contact, Yuan Kai felt that Zhang Zhen was a person with a great sense of justice, but he was righteous, Zhang Zhen refused to exonerate Li Shanchang in front of His Majesty, and Zhang Zhen likes to pat on the back, until now Yuan Kai doesn't know whether Zhang Zhen is a good person or a bad person, but I have to say that he was able to leave his life this time, all because of Zhang Rong's credit.

Yuan Kai bowed to Zhang Zhen and said, "Yuan has not thanked Zhang Zongqi for his life."

Zhang Zhen shook his head, sat down on the horse, slowly came to the front of the carriage, and said, "Didn't I say that the title of Zhang Zongqi seems to be a good brother, you can just call me a virtuous brother."

….

Yuan Kai got up and shook his head, and said, "Now that Zhang Zongqi is an official and Yuan is a citizen, he doesn't dare to be commensurate with Zhang Zongqi's brothers, and he doesn't want to meet Zhang Zongqi here."

Zhang Yu hurriedly said, "The reason why I came here is to see off Brother Yuan."

Yuan Kai was puzzled, except for Zhang Zhen who saved him this time, the two really didn't have any friendship, he was already upright, so he simply asked directly: "Zhang Zongqi, please forgive me for being blunt, are you a good person or a bad person?"

When Zhang Yan heard this, he laughed directly, and he laughed for a long time before he spoke, "How can people in this world be absolutely good and absolutely bad? Don't good people do bad things? Bad people can't do good things, right? Whether this is good or bad, it's just what you see and hear from different angles and different standpoints."

Yuan Kai has read a lot of books, but all the characters in the books are face-painted, and the good and bad are all marked

came out, it was the first time he had heard of Zhang Lu's theory of good guys and bad guys.

Yuan Kai chewed on Zhang Yuan's words thoughtfully, and it took him a long time before he gave a salute to Zhang Zhen and said, "Zhang Zongqi's words are thought-provoking, Yuan has been taught, no wonder Zhang Zongqi wants me to change."

Who knew that Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "You are originally an upright character, I let you change, then you are not Yuan Kai, this matter is my appearance, I shouldn't let you change, now that you have left the whirlpool of the court, there is no need to change, you are bent on it, it is also a good choice to return to your hometown to teach knowledge, if you can teach more students, if the people in this world are as simple as you, it will be great."

Yuan Kai smiled, he was indeed confused in dealing with people, and now Zhang Yuan's words seemed to open his heart knot, he looked up at the sky, and then turned his head to Zhang Zhen and said, "Brother Xian, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, the mountains are high and the waters are long, let's say goodbye."

Yuan Kai finally returned to the title of virtuous brother.

Zhang Zhen also smiled, and finally arched his hand towards Yuan Kai, and said, "I wish Brother Xian a smooth journey."

Yuan Kai is gone, the carriage is still dilapidated, the belongings are still pitiful, and the servants are still driving, but Yuan Kai has become a lot more free.

Bidding farewell to Yuan Kai, Zhang Zhen beat his horse and walked slowly on the official road, just after entering the city, he met Ji Gang and Wu Peng, who had not been seen for a long time.

Zhang Rong also felt strange, originally he arranged Wu Peng in Jinyiwei, but Wu Peng wanted to repay the favor and wanted to stay by Zhang Rong's side as a guard, but Wu Peng did not show up these days, Zhang Rong only thought that he had left to travel in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect to run with Ji Gang again.

Ji Gang looked flattering, and saluted respectfully to Zhang Gang and said, "Ji Gang greets the young master."

Now Ji Gang is sitting on the position of the dark master, and with the blessing of the Jinyi Guard, he alone has the final say in the underworld in Jinling City and even Yingtianfu, if he is looked at by his subordinates, he will definitely be shocked, and they would never have imagined that Ji Gang would have such a flattering side.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It's been a long time." After speaking, he turned to Wu Peng again and asked, "Monk, where have you been these days?"

Wu Peng arched his hand and said, "The poor monk went to follow Ji Gang to investigate some things."

Zhang Yu said, "It's okay, then you two can continue to investigate, I'll go back to the house first."

Night rivers and lakes.
