The next day, Li Qingru prepared a gift for Li Wantong, saying that the jade was prepared by Yu Zhi's parents, so naturally it could not be regarded as a meeting gift for her.
On the carriage ride back, Li Qingru did not go with them. In a few days, the affairs in Dawen Academy will be settled. She will go to Kyoto to find Yu Zhi, kicking off the revenge that has been planned for twenty years.
Li Wantong opened the sandalwood box. Inside was a phoenix hairpin. The golden color was extremely gorgeous, and the head of the hairpin was a lifelike phoenix, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high.
"This is too valuable." Li Wantong said.
Yu Lan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow. So beautiful."
Who doesn’t love beautiful jewelry.
Yu Zhi said: "Auntie gave it to you, so you accept it."
Li Wantong closed the box, and Li Qingru's gift showed Li Qingru's attitude.
It was already noon when we returned to Kyoto, and there was a carriage parked in front of Qiu Mansion with a sign of Dali Temple hanging on it.
Yu Zhi remembered that Qiu Ruoruo had said yesterday that Han Yang had sent a greeting card, so it must be Han Yang who came to Qiu Mansion.
As soon as Han Yang walked out of Qiu's mansion, he also saw Yu Zhi.
"Master Han." Yu Zhi stepped forward and said.
Han Yang was dressed in black today, holding a fan in his right hand and his left hand on the waist behind his back. His figure was always upright. The black clothes are not as permeable as the red robes, but the skull-like face still gives people a cold feeling.
"Yu Zhi." Han Yang said calmly.
"I heard that Mr. Han was ordered to thoroughly investigate the arson case at Youquan Villa. I wonder how the investigation went?" Yu Zhi asked.
Han Yang looked at Yu Zhi and said, "There are some clues that need to be carefully verified."
"That's good. This fire burned dozens of people to death. The murderer's crime is unforgivable. I hope you will get justice for the deceased." Yu Zhi said sincerely.
Han Yang looked at Yu Zhi as if he were looking at the prisoners in a prison. He was used to looking at people like this.
"Are you really out for justice, or are you out for revenge?"
Yu Zhi spread his hands and said: "Is there any difference? The murderer behind the scenes set the fire and killed people. I am also one of the victims, so I will naturally take revenge."
Han Yang laughed, but the laughter was very fake, as if it was a fake smile deliberately made to cater to him.
Yu Zhi continued: "Master Han might as well check Prince Chu's Mansion, if Master Han has the courage."
Han Yang's eyes turned cold and he stared at Yu Zhi. "You are irritating me."
"My lord said yes, so be it." Yu Zhi smiled nonchalantly.
After saying that, Yu Zhi walked towards Qiu Mansion, leaving Han Yang alone.
Han Yang gently tapped the fan in his left hand and said with a smile: "Interesting, really interesting."
Immediately, he got into the carriage and ordered: "Let's go and have a look at Prince Chu's Mansion."
Yu Zhi gave Han Yang some eye drops, but he didn't know that Qiu Ruoruo was the one who pointed Han Yang's finger directly at the Chu Palace.
Many clues and doubts in the letter have been confirmed by Han Yang one by one. The journey from Fu Taining to the Prince of Chu's Mansion must be unclean. It just lacks evidence of a one-hit kill.
...
The name of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is Fang Nanhu. He is a first-class Wuhou in the Great Chu. He holds a high position. There are very few first-class Wuhou in the Great Chu, and they can only be counted on two hands. There are only two or three Wuhou in Kyoto.
At this moment, waves of wailing sounds echoed in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
Such a miserable cry was thought to be that something tragic had happened, but little did he know that it was only made by Fang Tao.
"Father, you must avenge me. That boy bullied others too much. Look, what has become of my face?"
"I'm going to tell my mother and let her make the decision for me! Woohoo!"
Zhenyuan Hou Fang Nanhu has a thick beard, a resolute face, a strong body, and his blood is boiling and his true energy is full. This is very different from Fang Tao's appearance, which was sallow and thin, and his body was hollowed out by wine and sex.
Fang Nanhu knew the virtues of his son and would never believe Fang Tao's lies. However, the injuries on Fang Tao's face and body were unmistakable.
On the side, Lu Tai looked tired. He had not slept all night last night. Li Wantong's words echoed in his mind, and he asked Fang Tao and others a few more questions. Today I came to Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
When Fang Nanhu saw Lu Tai's appearance, he felt regretful and said, "Mr. Lu, my son is naughty and makes Mr. Lu worried."
Lu Tai waved his hands repeatedly and said with shame: "I am shameless. I am ashamed of my entrustment to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and my eyes are dim and blind. I have lived to this day and been so arbitrary. I have lived these decades in vain. I claim to be well-educated." Poems and books. I’m so ashamed!”
Fang Nanhu heard this in confusion. He saw this scene when he returned to the Marquis Mansion from the military camp today, but he had no idea what happened.
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this? Did the child make a mistake and offended Mr. Lu?" Fang Nanhu lowered his face and asked Lu Tai to come forward to find a good teacher to discipline Fang Tao.
But there should be some things discovered that have to be said.
Lu Tai sighed again and told everything that happened in Tao Dao Academy yesterday.
After a cup of tea, Fang Nanhu stared at Fang Tao and said angrily: "Fang Tao, I have repeatedly told you not to violate the laws of Dachu. How dare you molest a woman from a good family? Do you really think I don't dare to beat you?"
"Hit me, Dad. It was obviously that Yu Zhi who beat me hard. He talked nonsense and slandered me. You actually believed his nonsense. I think you are an old fool." Fang Tao is not afraid of Fang Nanhu at all. .
"If you dare to hit me, I will tell my mother and grandmother. Let them take care of you."
Fang Nanhu managed the army strictly, but he couldn't deal with his son.
After listening to Fang Tao's words, all the anger Fang Nanhu had accumulated turned into a sigh. "You treasonous son, you treasonous son!"
Fang Nanhu had a son. He was the only son in the family, so he loved him even more. The elders in the family have been spoiled since childhood and developed into a playboy. After growing up, Fang Tao relied on the power of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion to dominate and dominate.
Fortunately, he hasn't caused any major troubles in these years. At most, he got into fights with people competing for the oiran in Fireworks Willow Alley.
"Mr. Lu is laughing. My wife and I are too pampered and cannot be beaten or scolded, which is why Fang Tao has grown up to be such a dissolute playboy." Fang Nanhu said with a headache.
Lu Tai was also surprised by the scene just now. He has many students, and they have always been well-educated and gentle gentlemen. They respect the old and love the young, and treat brothers and sisters with respect. When have you ever seen such a dandy like Fang Tao?
Lu Tai sighed and said: "Master said: Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, father, son. Marquis Zhenyuan, your son is really naughty. He dares to scold you like this and has no etiquette. It seems to me that I can't control it. Forgive me. Nothing can be done."
Fang Nanhu saw that all the great scholars of the time were retreating, and became even more troubled by Fang Tao.
"I'm sorry for Mr. Lu. I'm afraid no one can cure this traitor."
Suddenly, Lu Tai looked at Fang Tao, and a flash of inspiration suddenly swept away the sadness on his face.
Lu Tai stroked his gray beard and laughed loudly: "Master Hou, I'm sorry. I have thought of someone who can be Fang Tao's husband. Hahahahaha."
Fang Nanhu's eyes lit up and he said, "Seriously?"
Amid a burst of hearty laughter, Fang Tao felt extremely dangerous.
...
...
"Han Yang wants you to enter Dali Temple?" Yu Zhi asked doubtfully.
Qiu Ruoruo smiled and said: "He came today and wanted me to become his teacher. Dad didn't agree, so Mr. Han retreated and settled for the next best thing."
"This is the first time I've seen this teacher come to your door. What does Han Yang think?" Yu Zhi asked in confusion.
Yu Zhi paused and said seriously: "Ruoruo, that place in Dali Temple is too evil. Han Yang is also too evil. If I don't want to use him to investigate the Prince of Chu's Mansion, I will definitely stay away from him."
"By the way, do you know there is a man named Fan Wenzheng?"
Qiu Ruoruo glanced at Yu Zhi in surprise and asked, "Brother Xiaoyu, why do you know this person?"
"The inmate in the Dali Temple Prison is said to be Han Yang's teacher. Why did the students put the teacher in prison?" Yu Zhi asked curiously.
Qiu Ruoruo said: "Fan Wenzheng was the previous Minister of Dali Temple, and Han Yang was also his only student. In the year when His Majesty ascended the throne, Fan Wenzheng disappeared quietly. Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned in to Dali Temple.”
"I heard my grandpa talk about it. In the last few years of the late emperor's death, the princes seized the throne and the world was in chaos. The ministers in the court and central government began to take sides, formed cliques for personal gain, and fights continued. In those years, the court was dark and the people were in dire straits. Fan Wenzheng, who was the minister of Dali Temple at that time, always Loyal to the late Emperor, I am catching those corrupt officials every day, hoping to return the great Chu Hai, Yan He and Qing Dynasties."
"Because there were many people involved in the rebellion, Fan Wenzheng killed all of them regardless of party affiliation. Doing so also destined him to have a difficult end."
Yu Zhi asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because no matter which prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will settle accounts with his queen." Qiu Ruoruo said.
It is true that in troubled times, good birds must choose trees to roost in. How can one form his own faction and become the enemy of the world?
"This old man is quite courageous." Yu Zhi took out the golden dagger in his arms and asked, "Is this the dagger that Fan Wenzheng gave me? Do you know what it is?"
Qiu Ruoruo took the dagger and when she pulled it out, she saw the word "Fan" and shook her head. "I only know this much. This dagger looks valuable and must have some other purpose. Maybe Grandpa will know."
Yu Zhi said: "As for your visit to Dali Temple..."
Qiu Ruoruo said: "I'll ask grandpa what he wants later. Han Yang can't force me."
At this moment, Qiu An walked in and said, "Miss, Grand Master Lu and Zhenyuan Marquis Fang Nanhu are here to pay a visit."
"Mr. Lu and Marquis Zhenyuan? Our Qiu family has never interacted with them on weekdays. Why did we come back to visit them?" Qiu Ruoruo asked in confusion.
Yu Zhi touched his face and said sheepishly: "Ruoruo, they probably came to see me."
Facing Qiu Ruoruo's confused gaze, Yu Zhi continued: "Yesterday, the son of Marquis Zhenyuan teased Tong'er and Yu Lan, so I beat him up."
Ning Huan nodded and said calmly: "Those words are hard to hear."
Li Wantong knew better than Yu Zhi and Ning Huan what Zhenyuan Marquis and Grand Master meant, so he said worriedly: "Ruoruo, this won't affect the Qiu family."
Yu Lan also echoed: "Yes, it's really unpleasant for that dude to humiliate Sister Li and me."
Qiu Ruoruo smiled slightly and shook her head calmly. "I know Fang Tao. He is indeed a famous dandy in Kyoto."
"But, Brother Xiaoyu, why don't you kill Fang Tao?"
Li Wantong, Yu Lan and Ning Huan all looked at Qiu Ruoruo, never expecting that Qiu Ruoruo would say these words.
Yu Zhi waved his hand and said, "The old man and the aunt are old acquaintances, so it's hard to do anything."
Qiu An listened to the words of several people and then slowly said: "Miss, Marquis Zhenyuan brought many gifts. Doesn't it look like he is here to seek revenge?"
Did he beat his son and come here to thank us?
