"If that's the case, then my cousin really can't take over Mr. Zhang's house."
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang just turned over the file.
Then Lu Zhizhang pretended to flip through a few pages of other files. After looking through them, he returned the file to the clerk. After chatting with his entourage for a few words, Lu Zhizhang left Shangjing Mansion.
After leaving Shangjing Mansion, the secret guard couldn't help but ask Lu Zhizhang, "Sir, since there is no information here now, where should we go now?"
Facing the secret guard, Lu Zhizhang only glanced at Shangjing Mansion behind him.
It's a pity that the Shangjing Mansion has closed in front of him at this moment.
Although he was worried that Crested Ibis would be robbed of his opportunity.
But now that Zhang Renjie has joined, this matter has undoubtedly begun to become a bit tricky.
Although he did intend to use this matter to make merit for himself.
So for that, he didn't even correspond with anyone.
However, if Zhang Renjie wants to get involved now, he can no longer continue to pursue it. After all, for this small amount of credit, he has offended a big boss in the government now, and he will still be a senior figure in the future. This deal cannot be negotiated no matter how much he thinks about it. Great deal.
So at the moment, he was just a little bit defensive.
But he was puzzled. How did Zhang Renjie know that he was going to Beijing?
After all, he kept the plan a secret until before departure, and he didn't delay at all on the way.
Isn't what he did just to create a time difference with others?
Could it be that someone from the shipping department leaked the news?
But thinking about it carefully, Lu Zhizhang felt that it was unlikely that someone from the Shipping Department had done this.
First of all, the people in the Shipping Department are a department that directly takes orders from the Holy One. The boss behind them is Emperor Yong, so they don't need to go through Zhang Renjie's hand.
Moreover, their shipping department is the last step in his plan. They are the last people to know the secret. They rely on water transportation to convey information.
And he and the Shipping Department set off at the same time, and if the Shipping Department wanted to convey information to Zhang Renjie, there was actually an extra step.
Therefore, if Zhang Renjie really wanted to rob Zhu Ibis, he would not have been able to arrange for people to ambush around him from the beginning, just waiting for him to get off the ship.
So if someone from the Shipping Department had not informed Zhang Renjie, then the person who conveyed the information could only be Wen Jindao. After all, when making this plan, there were many places where Wen Jindao's help was needed, so he told the truth about many things. .
If Wen Jindao had passed the information to Shangjing when he saw him and offered to help, it would not be impossible for Zhang Renjie to make arrangements a day in advance and attack him when he disembarked.
After all, from the time he proposed to cooperate with Wen Jindao until Zhu Izhi was arrested, about a day and night was actually wasted.
Therefore, if Wen Jindao really had this kind of relationship, it would not be impossible if he had conveyed the news from the beginning.
But before that, he thought it was best to go and inquire with Wen Shanxiu about which forces Wen Jindao was close to now.
From doubting King Jin to being convinced that it was Zhang Renjie, to now suspecting that Wen Jindao was an internal agent, it only took a few sentences.
However, what he didn't know was that the plot he saw today turned out to be just what others wanted him to see.
After the gate to Beijing was closed, the bandit who had been following Zhao Yanzhen stopped at a corner where there was no one around, turned around and walked into the rockery on the side. Then behind the rockery, he suddenly tore off He lost his face and untied his hair.
When everything unfolded, this grown man became a delicate beauty in just an instant.
And when her long hair fell down like silk, the woman shook her hair, and she just put her hair up again.
If Lu Zhizhang could turn back and take a look at the woman at this time, he would be shocked to find that the woman in front of him was actually playing the piano in the tavern just now, and then having sex with him
The secret guard fought against the woman who forced them into a very embarrassing situation. Unfortunately, he was not here, so he didn't know all this at this time. Read the book
Then, when the woman finished changing her clothes and came out of the rockery, another maid serving tea immediately walked up to the woman and said, "Sister, it seems that Lu Zhizhang really believed what we said. Now he has left here." Let’s leave, shouldn’t it be time for us to leave here too?”
After hearing what the little maid said, the woman just nodded.
But before leaving, the little maid couldn't help but said, "Senior sister, what do you think His Highness King Jin is planning to do when he asked us to stop this person? And why can't we attack this person directly?"
Facing the little maid's question, the woman who was called senior sister did not directly answer the little maid's words. She only whispered, "Don't worry about this. Anyway, since King Jin asked us to do this, then he must be there." The truth is, we just need to complete the task and that’s enough.”
After hearing the woman's words, the little maid nodded seriously.
Then the two of them fell down together and left from Shangjing Mansion in an instant.
"Master, where are we going now?" The guard behind Lu Zhizhang saw that Lu Zhizhang was silent, so he only asked Lu Zhizhang in a low voice.
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he said expressionlessly, "Of course I will go back directly."
The guard was a little dumbfounded for a moment when he heard this. In the end, he couldn't help but asked, "Huh? Go back? Aren't we going to continue to trace the whereabouts of Crested Ibis Zhi?"
Facing the guard's inquiry, Lu Zhizhang said expressionlessly, "Whether to check or not depends on whether we can check. Let's go back first and then talk about it."
Although the guard still didn't understand what Lu Zhizhang said, what Lu Zhizhang said always made sense. Since he had let him go back, he naturally chose to go back.
The journey from Shangjing Mansion to Luhou Mansion only takes about ten minutes.
After Lu Zhizhang returned to Luhou Mansion, although he wanted to go to Wen Shanxiu to find out the matter, he finally chose to go see his mother first.
The Luhou Mansion was originally a very quiet place. Even though its owner was now the Young Minister of Dali Temple, the Luhou Mansion still had a sparse population and a declining family fortune.
His mother likes to practice Buddhism quietly. So the further you go inside, the quieter it gets.
Finally, when they arrived outside a small Buddhist hall, the woman at the door looked happy when she saw Lu Zhizhang, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Even Lu Zhizhang unconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Mother can be in the Buddhist hall."
The old woman nodded and whispered, "Yes, the old lady is becoming more and more obsessed with chanting sutras now. You must have come to the right place to find her in the Buddhist hall."
Lu Zhizhang nodded when he heard this, and then he asked in a low voice, "How is mother's health these days?"
Faced with Lu Zhizhang's inquiry, the old lady shook her head slightly and said, "It's still the same, with three illnesses and two pains."
After receiving such an answer, Lu Zhizhang was silent for a moment.
Then he said, "Please, Mother Chen, please take care of my mother."
The mother-in-law who was called Mrs. Chen immediately replied, "This is my duty."
After hearing this, Lu Zhizhang whispered, "I wonder if Mrs. Chen can go in and let her know that her son is back and she wants to say hello to her mother."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the old lady nodded, and then she turned around and went in.
Lu Zhizhang just waited silently in the outer courtyard. Looking in the direction of the Buddhist hall, Lu Zhizhang always felt that the Luhou Mansion was like a huge tomb.
His mother was actually already in the tomb.
After a while, Mrs. Chen came out.
Lu Zhizhang immediately asked, "How is it? Mother, are you willing to let me in?"
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, Mrs. Chen sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work."
Lu Zhizhang immediately asked, "Why not?"
Mrs. Chen whispered, "Madam said, it is enough for her to know that you are safe, and there is no need to meet. Otherwise, we will both feel troubled when we meet."
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang was also stunned. He actually knew his mother's thoughts very well.
Although his mother always looks cold, she is actually a very gentle and tolerant old lady.
Regarding his marriage, except for Jiang Nianjiao, who expressed her obvious displeasure, she actually accepted it for everyone else.
Even though Qi Peipei was a young nobleman whose family was in decline, his mother still chose to accept it.
What Qi Peipei himself did was actually blameless, so his mother actually accepted Qi Peipei's existence more easily than he did?
Qi Peipei has been with her mother all year round and is gentle and well-behaved. Her mother really regards Qi Peipei as half a daughter.
Although Qi Peipei's death was not his fault, Qi Peipei's death was due to his own negligence.
And his mother is the person who knows him best. She can easily know what role she played in Qi Peipei's death that day.
So she didn't want to see herself, and she was really heartbroken because of Qi Peipei.
But he thought time would dilute everything, but it's a pity that so much time has passed now.
His mother seemed still sad.
But maybe this wasn't just because she was sad for Qi Peipei. She didn't want to see herself facing everything except Qi Peipei's death, and maybe she had been facing everything as a widow.
And she wanted to have a grandson and arrange his marriage.
It's a pity that her attitude undoubtedly made all her wishes come true.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhizhang returned to silence. He only whispered, "In that case, I won't force it."
After he finished speaking, he asked Mrs. Chen to take good care of his mother.
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang left without any regrets.
After seeing Lu Zhizhang leave, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but sigh silently.
When Lu Zhizhang left, Mrs. Chen returned to the inner room and said to Mrs. Lu, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha and reciting devoutly, "Madam, the young master has left, but he asked me to take good care of you. It shows that the young master still has deep feelings in his heart." It’s yours!”
Facing Mrs. Chen's words, Mrs. Lu didn't even open her eyes.
