By the river embankment, Wu Gen looked around, pointed at his nose and asked, "Are you talking about me?"
"Who else is there besides you?" Qin Guan said sternly, turning around and bending down to explain to the young man: "I do recognize this person. He comes from a wealthy family and is a middle-aged man.
He did evil things when he was in Dingyuan City. He didn't want to think that so many years had passed, so he came to the capital. Moreover, when I see the prince today, he behaves frivolously and lacks discipline, so he must be severely punished to let him know the majesty of Zhao's laws and regulations. "
Wu Gen blinked. He didn't expect that the third young master of Qin was so vindictive. After all these years, he would accuse himself whenever they met. After staying in the capital for a long time, Wu Gen gradually came to know that the so-called three-grade scale may be implemented more strictly in the local area, but it is not so strict in the capital.
Since the capital has a large population and the nobles gather together, everyone on the way will kneel down and salute when they go out. Then the capital will be in chaos and life will be impossible. Therefore, there is an unwritten rule. When ordinary people see noble people, they only need to lower their heads and not look directly at them. This is the so-called "not looking politely".
Even if someone occasionally breaks this rule, to be honest, ordinary nobles will turn a blind eye. After all, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in the capital. Maybe a middle-aged person is a servant of a wealthy and powerful family. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner's face.
Unexpectedly, Qin Guan would insist on insisting on it today. Wu Gen was originally dissatisfied with this boy for daring to covet Zhu Qian's paintings. At this time, he was even more angry and had long forgotten what Li Zhenglu said.
"Mr. Qin, after all these years, you are still only able to bully others and have not made any progress. Don't think about it. This young master is so handsome and smart at first glance. How can he be bewitched by you and be detained by the officials? The reputation of bullying Li Shu will bring trouble to the parents at home. Right, young master."
As soon as these words came out, the young man opposite did not speak, but the four men were a little dissatisfied. The long-faced man among them said angrily: "How dare you be so disrespectful to Your Highness." He made a loud noise in Wu Gen's mouth.
Wu Gen only felt an invisible force coming from him, like a heavy punch hitting his body. He stepped back and fell to the river.
Bang bang, Wu Gen swung one arm to dissipate the huge force, activated his divine movement technique, and his body disappeared from the river. In an instant, he was next to the long-faced man, punched him in the abdomen, and then quickly retreated.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a blur. After the afterimage, the long-faced man fell down in pain, clutching his stomach.
The other men were also shocked. Just now the man in the river took action, but the three of them were not aware of it at all, and their companions were hit.
Master, the three of them instantly became nervous and quickly protected the young man among them, staring at Wu Gen nervously.
Seeing this, Qin Guan simply shut his mouth. This guy is really a tiger. He dares to hurt people in public in the capital. I don't dare to provoke Wu Gen anymore. If this guy does this to me, I won't get out of bed for half a year.
The young man was not afraid at all. He popped his head out from the gap between the three men and asked curiously: "Why are you standing on the water without sinking? Could it be that this is also a magic spell?"
Wu Gen took a look and saw that this little guy was innocent. He laughed and said, "This is my secret. I have been poor since I was a child. I can only make a living by fishing on the shore, and I am often chased by some vicious dogs. Over time, As they grow up, they learn this method to make those vicious dogs helpless." He said and pursed his lips towards Qin Guan.
The young man looked back at Qin Guan, who looked embarrassed, but burst out laughing and said to Wu Gen, "This is quite convenient. Come on up. I think you are quite interesting."
A man next to him quickly said, "Your Highness, this person's identity is unknown. Please leave as soon as possible."
The young man separated the two men, "Don't worry, if he gets angry, can the people present stop him?" He said to Wu Gen with his hands behind his back like a little adult: "That's good, you go shopping with me. I will not care about your rudeness."
As soon as these words came out, several men looked ashamed. Judging from Wu Gen's actions just now, if there was a sudden surprise attack, the four of them would not be able to stop it.
When Wu Gen heard this, he realized that this young man was quite smart, so he couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, okay, but let's agree, I don't have any money, so if you want to buy something, you have to pay for it yourself."
The young man was a little proud, "That's okay. I brought my own clothes when I went out this time.
The private money has come. "As he said this, he took out a bag from his waist and poured out a few golden melon seeds.
Wu Gen jumped ashore and said, "Come on, let's go shopping together." He glanced sideways at Qin Guan and said, "There are some irrelevant people here, so it's a bit inconvenient."
The young man turned back and smiled at Qin Guan, "Mr. Qin, how about we get together some other time." Qin Guan couldn't help but flushed when he heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye.
Wu Gen talked with the young man while walking. After all, the young man was still young and his childlike innocence was still intact. He bought whatever he saw along the way. The four men were soon covered with packages of all sizes. As noon approached, Wu Gen even more generously invited Wu Gen to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.
During the casual chat, Wu Gen asked, "How do you call this young master?"
"My surname is Zhao and my given name is Yu Zheng." The young man replied casually.
Wu Gen's heart skipped a beat. His surname was Zhao. Could it be possible? He quickly asked, "I wonder if my family is..."
Zhao Yuzheng smiled slightly and said arrogantly: "There is no need to ask, once I tell you, you will be cautious and I will feel uncomfortable. It is better not to know."
Wu Gen slapped the table, "Come on, that's right. Heroes don't talk about their origins. Come on, can you have a drink? We just hit it off today and we'll go one by one."
Zhao Yuzheng looked around in embarrassment, "I came out today not just for fun, but to complete the homework assigned by Mr. Zhu. I just drank, lest Mr. know about it and slap my palm."
"Mr. Zhu? Which Mr. Zhu?" Wu Gen's heart skipped a beat.
"I'm afraid you don't know, it's Mr. Zhu Buzhan. He asked me to go to Pengmen Pihu Land to see more. Along the way, they only let me go to places like this." He pointed. He pointed to the four men sitting aside.
"I also said before I came here that I would travel incognito and not disturb the people, but they just didn't listen. They made me look like a playboy. If I let Mr. Zhu know about it later, he would have to shake his head at me again."
When Wu Gen heard this, he laughed loudly. It turned out that he was Mr. Zhu's disciple. Now it was easier to handle, "Junior Brother Zhao, do you know that I am also Mr. Zhu's disciple, but I started two years earlier than you. According to Zhu According to the rules, sir, you really have to call me senior brother."
Now it was Zhao Yuzheng's turn to be surprised, "Don't lie to me. I have never heard that Mr. Zhu has accepted a disciple in the capital. My father also visited him several times, and he promised to take time to come to the house for advice occasionally."
Father? Wu Gen rolled his eyes. He had few connections in the capital, so this king could use some effort.
The more the two talked, the more they became more and more congenial. When they parted, they were as close as brothers and sisters, and they agreed to meet at Zhu Buzhan's house on a certain date.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Yuzheng, Wu Gen hurried back to Zhu Buzhan's mansion. He always felt a little awkward living with his future father-in-law, so he said hello and found a nearby inn to stay, where he could see Zhu Buzhan. Unexpanded yard.
Zhu Buzhan didn't say anything about Wu Gen's departure. To be honest, it was a little inconvenient for Wu Gen to live here. He didn't ask about the situation of his trip to Taichang Temple, but he was a little helpless about Zhao Yuzheng. Having lived in the officialdom for a long time, he knows how difficult it is for a commoner to advance if there is no one to help and support him.
Regarding Wu Gen's tendency to follow others' influence, Zhu Buzhan could only let it go. After all, he knew from the beginning that he had no bottom line in certain matters.
Wu Gen also took the opportunity to inquire about Zhao Yuzheng's origins. It turned out that this young boy was the only son of Zhao Yi, the fourth prince of the dynasty, and he was quite good-natured.
Zhu Buzhan has been unwilling to teach these royal children since he was reprimanded and left last time. However, this time the fourth prince condescended to visit him several times, and he just reluctantly agreed to give some advice. He was not really a member of the palace. Teacher.
After moving to the inn, Wu Gen finally breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up, and lay down on the bed. In front of Zhu Buluzhan, he had to maintain a serious appearance at all times, but it made him tired to death.
The next day, Wu Gen did not go out. He sat alone in the inn and stared out the window. Because he is well aware of his talent, and with his trouble-making nature, there is no telling what kind of trouble he will cause when he goes out for a walk.
Now all his thoughts are focused on the matter of canonizing noble people. When this matter is over and he has the strength to compete with others, he will
Have a good fight with that Rong Kui or something.
From morning to evening, it was an uneventful day. Wu Gen got up and stretched his aching waist, and was about to go downstairs to have a meal. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Here we come." Wu Gen agreed and stood up to open the door.
Standing at the door was a strange middle-aged man. Wu Gen was stunned and said, "Who are you..."
"Wu Gen, right?" The middle-aged man bowed politely, "There is a distinguished person who wants to see you, please come with me."
Wu Gen was a little unhappy when he heard this. Although this man spoke very politely, his words were mostly commanding, as if he was acting like someone who had been in a position of power for a long time.
"Who do you think you are..." As soon as he finished his curse, Wu Gen suddenly realized that this was the capital, and he could not be said to belong to a noble family. He quickly changed his words and said, "I don't know who is looking for me. "
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and felt that he was a little abrupt. He looked around and whispered: "It's the eldest prince who has invited me." After thinking about it, he added: "The eldest prince is also Mr. Zhu's disciple, so he can be considered yours." Senior brother, if we have something to discuss this time, please come with me as soon as possible."
Wu Gen smiled slightly. He knew that his husband had many disciples. "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. Since you are your disciple, it won't be too late to leave after I report to you."
The man said anxiously, "Mr. Zhu must not know about this matter. Don't worry, the eldest prince has no ill intentions towards you. My husband was framed for the herring case, and he was robbed because of the eldest prince."
Wu Gen, aren't you worried about the noble canonization? Although the eldest prince has lost some power, he can still say something. I hope you think twice. "
The herring case? Wu Gen became interested as soon as he heard it.
