Chapter 194: The Man with a Thousand Faces Breaks into Moss Village
Regarding Wang Xiaoyi's death, Zhang Lu was also entangled for a long time before he told all the truth, because he knew that he had fallen in love with Xu Haoyuan, and he liked it from the first time he saw it.
Even if Wang Xiaozhi committed suicide, there is an unshirkable relationship with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Zhen is now a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and it is normal to read some archives in Jinyiwei Yamen, of course, many files related to national events Zhang Zhen has no right to consult, but fortunately, Wang Xiaoyi's death is not among them.
Zhang Lu got all the files about Wang Xiaowei very simply, and the descriptions in them are also detailed, from Wang Xiaoyi's support for Yu Zhaosen to establish Jiumen, to Jiumen's great sin and was exterminated by Jinyiwei, Wang Xiaowei secretly hid Yu Zhaosen, and later Jinyiwei arrested Yu Zhaosen, under many external pressures, Wang Xiaowei finally committed suicide.
This dossier is also interesting, there is no mention of Zhang Chen's name from beginning to end, and wherever Zhang Zhen should appear, all of them are brushed over with the three words Jinyiwei.
This also saved Zhang Zhen from changing the file, and he took it directly and sent it to Moss Village.
Xu Haoyuan read every word of this dossier very carefully, and she just shook her head and sighed quietly after reading it.
There are too many people in the rivers and lakes who can't help themselves, even a gangster like Wang Xiaoyi who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain is not exempt from vulgarity, he firmly binds the entire beggar gang to himself, which means that he has no freedom at all.
And it is really not easy to distinguish between good and evil in the rivers and lakes, just like Wang Xiaozhi, he knows that Yu Zhaosen has committed many crimes, not only did he not dissuade him but also gave convenience in all aspects, and after the incident, he hid Yu Zhaosen's traces, only from this point of view, Wang Xiaozhi really deserves to die.
But if it is changed to the perspective of a beggar ganger, Wang Xiaowei rescued all the beggars in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a peerless good person.
There are always several sides to people, and good and evil seem to be in conflict, but sometimes it is not incompatible to put these two characteristics in one person at the same time.
Xu Haoyuan slowly closed the file and asked again, "Gongzi Zhang, have you ever found out who is the red-faced Shura? I want to ask him face to face if his stepfather has left anything behind."
Zhang Yan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head and said, "It wasn't written in the dossier, and I couldn't ask it, I'm really sorry."
Xu Haoyuan shook his head, handed the file back to Zhang Yuan's hand, and then spoke: "Zhang Gongzi has helped me too much, it is me who should say sorry, these things are all caused by my beggar gang, now many of my father-in-law's old friends have come to Jinling, what should my beggar gang do, Zhang Gongzi rest assured, I will pass on the suicide of my father-in-law, so that no one will come to the court for trouble, which is also a good thing for the people of Jinling."
When Zhang Lu heard this, he hurriedly bowed solemnly to Xu Haoyuan and said, "I have thanked Miss Xu on behalf of the people of Jinling."
Zhang Yan slowly got up and asked again, "This is the case, Miss Xu won't want to go back to the beggar gang headquarters, right?" It's easy for you to come to Jinling, and you always have to visit the prosperity of Jinling, and I always have to do my best to be a landlord."
Xu Haoyuan lowered her head and fiddled with the white cloth around her waist, she shook her head and said, "My father-in-law is newly mourned, how can I be in any mood to play? However, I'm not in a hurry to go back to the beggars."
….
"It's good if you're not in a hurry, it's good if you're not in a hurry." Zhang Yan smiled, so excited that he almost jumped up, but he thought about it when he thought about it, his father-in-law had just died, was it a little out of place for him to laugh?
Zhang Yan hurriedly changed the expression of a dead family member and said, "Condolences."
Seeing that Xu Haoyuan was really depressed, Zhang Lu simply told Xu Haoyuan a joke: "Miss Xu, I'll tell you a story."
Xu Haoyuan nodded and said, "Zhang Gongzi, please speak."
"Once upon a time, someone went to Antarctica to look for penguins."
"Where is Antarctica? What are penguins?"
Well, the generation gap of the times is often not bridged in a few words.
However, Zhang Lu still explained: "Antarctica is a very cold place, and penguins are a bird that lives there."
Xu Haoyuan nodded and said
Got it.
Zhang Lu continued: "This man wanted to know about penguins, so when he saw them, he would ask, 'Little penguin, what do you do every day?' The little penguin replied: Eat, sleep, tease. The man ran to the second penguin and asked, "Little penguin, what do you do every day?" The second little penguin's answer was still to eat, sleep, and tease. The man asked many questions, and the answer was the same, until the man asked about the ninety-ninth penguin: "Little penguin, what do you do every day?" The ninety-ninth little penguin immediately replied: Eat and sleep. The man was puzzled, and hurriedly asked: Don't you tease? Just listen to the little penguin's answer: I am just teasing."
Xu Haoyuan thought at first that Zhang Yuan would tell him something about the affairs between the court and the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect it to be really just a story, but at the end of this story, Xu Haoyuan was stunned for three seconds, turned his head and began to laugh.
Isn't it great that this joke, which is as simple as it is in later generations, has won a smile from beauties over hundreds of years?
Then Zhang Hao began to tell Xu Haoyuan a lot of fairy tales, and Xu Haoyuan also listened to them with the same relish as Han Qin.
In the next few days, as long as there is time, Zhang Yuan will go to Moss Village to tell Xu Haoyuan stories, and occasionally show off his cooking skills, and in one fairy tale after another, the relationship between the two is gradually heating up.
But the two of them tacitly did not pierce the layer of window paper.
Xu Haoyuan felt that he was a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and there were too many obstacles to the identity between himself and Zhang Yuan, if the two of them were really together, then he would have no place in the rivers and lakes.
But Zhang Zhen has a thorn in his heart, that is, Wang Xiaozhi's death, even if Wang Xiaozhi committed suicide, it was his own knife, and it is an indisputable fact that Zhang Xiao is a bare-faced Shura.
That afternoon, Zhang Lu was still telling fairy tales to Xu Haoyuan, but before the story was finished, he saw a thousand faces with a number of brocade guards into the moss village, accompanied by a eunuch.
The thousand-faced people didn't report it, and they broke into the door when they encountered it, which also made the moss village jump at this time.
Zhang Lu and Xu Haoyuan, who got the news, immediately greeted them.
As the Nine Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang, Xu Haoyuan naturally stood at the forefront, she let out her momentum, and asked very domineeringly, "What? Can you wear an official uniform and enter this moss village at will?"
At this moment, the original good impression of the imperial court just disappeared.
Zhang Lu was afraid that there would be some misunderstanding, so he immediately blocked in front of Xu Haoyuan.
Night rivers and lakes.
