evening.
In Jiang County, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians. Although it is not wartime, there is no curfew in Jiang County. But who would be a serious person traveling at night?
They all go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.
Liu Zhixing walked out of the palace gate worriedly, got on the sedan, and returned to the Liu Mansion. Mrs. Liu had already prepared dinner and was looking forward to it with her children.
Liu Zhixing did not eat, but called Mrs. Liu to the living room alone. Asked: "What is the situation of the teacher's family now?"
Although Zhang Chen was furious, Liu Zhixing did not dare to forget the love between teachers and students. Let his wife pay close attention to the whereabouts of the Zhang family.
Mrs. Liu replied: "Teacher, I originally lived in an inn, but later I thought it was expensive and not a long-term solution. So I planned to rent a house. But I couldn't find a suitable one after searching for a long time. Jiang County is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and every inch of land is precious. Zhang With a large family, it would be difficult to find a place to live without spending a lot of money.”
After a pause, Mrs. Liu suggested: "How about we borrow a house from others and rent it to teachers at a low price?"
Liu Zhixing was an upright person. In addition to his ancestral property, he also earned two houses, raised his children, and some modest property in the more than ten years he followed Wu Nian.
There is a house in the inner city where he lives now.
There is a house in the outer city where the Zhang family lived.
Naturally, it was impossible to rent these two houses to Zhang Chen.
Liu Zhixing agreed to his wife's plan. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Mrs. Liu: "Madam, please go to Li Cifu's house."
Of course Li Yong is also honest, but after following Wu Nian for many years, he has accumulated a lot of family property, and he is also keen on buying land and houses. Now he has a big family and a big business.
The two often work together and are very familiar with each other. It is the perfect choice for renting a house.
"Um."
Mrs. Liu hummed.
This morning.
The Zhang family left the inn as they wished and moved to a mansion with a very low rent.
"I didn't expect that there is a house with such a low rent in Jiang County. The landlord can be said to be kind. My son, you have to thank me."
Zhang Chen stood at the door and looked up at the three-story house. After sighing with emotion, he said to Zhang Zhong beside him.
"The landlord, Mr. Li, is a wealthy businessman. I heard about my father's name, so he rented the house to us at such a low price. It's just that Mr. Li went out and was not at home. I'll thank him again when he comes back."
Zhang Zhong shook his head and said with a look of pride on his face.
My father has been a teacher for so many years, and he has not only gained a lot of talents, but he has also accumulated great virtues.
Wherever you go, you have face.
Especially when returning to Liaodong, it is like a dragon entering the sea.
No.
Just like this house, it is a timely blessing for the Zhang family.
Thank you thank you.
"Yes." Zhang Chen nodded, and then entered the house with his family.
The Zhang family went south to Chu State to escape, but returned to Liaodong calmly. I brought back a lot of bedding, clothing and other items, which were quickly packed and settled in happily.
Just didn't stay for three days.
Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong and his son, as well as Zhang Chen's youngest son Zhang Yong, were taken away by the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, leaving behind women, children, and grandchildren who were either at a loss or crying.
Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong and his son were both shocked, but not panicked. They walk and sit upright and have nothing to worry about.
They asked the yamen officer what happened. But the officer's answer was, I don't know.
The Zhang family, father and son, were quickly detained and put into a clean cell.
Not long after, many other people were brought in politely by the yamen officers, and the cell was instantly filled with prisoners.
Liaodong is only so big. The Zhang family and his son have another chance.
Many of them are familiar or familiar to the Zhang family and his son.
The Zhang family father and son were a little panicked.
"Father, we seem to be in big trouble." Zhang Zhong said slightly panicked.
"I'm afraid so. Moreover, if you take a closer look, most of these people seem to be people who returned to Liaodong from the Chu Kingdom. Could it be that because we asked for land and houses, the King of Han wanted to kill us all? It's not like that. The King of Han was a wise king for a while."
Zhang Chen looked carefully and shook his head and then nodded, knowing that things might not be that simple, and that he seemed to be in big trouble.
Although he walks upright and sits upright. But it will inevitably affect the fish in the pond.
A wise king cannot discern clearly.
What's more, even though my family has a reputation in Liaodong. But in the eyes of the king, he is probably no different from an ant.
Won't get much attention.
If you hit him with a stick, you'll be dead and there's nothing you can do about it.
how so? ! ! ! If I had known this, I might as well have stayed in Chudu.
Zhang Chen regretted it in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Yong suddenly said: "Father. Could it be that Liu Zhixing framed us?"
There was a "pop" sound. Zhang Chen was furious, slapped his youngest son with lightning speed, and said angrily: "Although I am a weirdo, I know my own disciple. He will never frame me."
There was a "pop" sound. The eldest brother is like a father. Zhang Zhong also slapped Zhang Yong and said, "Do you know what it means to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart? You are the one."
"I not only believe that Zhixing will not frame us, but I also believe that Zhixing will give us a clean slate. The lives of our father and son depend entirely on him."
Zhang Yong received two slaps, and his face suddenly turned red. He did not dare to refute, and went to sit down in the corner in embarrassment.
Not long after, Liu Zhixing's eldest brother Liu Tong came to the cell with two domestic slaves and a food box in their hands.
But despite this, Liu Tong did not dare to enter the cell. I just asked the yamen to open the door and put the food boxes and items in. He signaled with his eyes that the Zhang family and his son should come over and sit down across the cell.
Liu Tong is currently the only outsider who has come in. Moreover, many people knew Liu Tong, and the prisoners wanted to know what happened, and they couldn't help but show concern.
"Good nephew. What trouble did we get into?" Zhang Chen calmed down and asked.
"Old sir, you are asking for help, and you are involved. And the people in the Imperial City Department have learned that there is Chu State's detailed work that is fueling the flames. You are just in time. The old gentleman is of high moral character, and he will definitely not participate. As long as he does not participate, , there won’t be any big problems.”
Liu Tong explained the whole story and comforted him.
After Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong heard this, they looked at each other and immediately felt relieved. They are all sensible people, now that they have returned to Liaodong to live.
Just make up your mind to be a royal citizen. I only participated in the activities of Chu State because I had a convulsion in my head.
But at this moment, the father and son suddenly saw Zhang Yong's face turning pale and his body trembling.
Liu Tong also noticed.
The three of them suddenly felt a thump in their hearts and said in unison: "You won't participate, will you?"
Zhang Yongzhan was trembling and said nothing, but the answer was obviously easy to see.
