Zhang Ren did not expect that all the Jin Yiwei would be dispatched because of him. Many Snake Congshu, who was hiding in the shadows, were caught. The security of Jinling City has risen to a new level, and it is not far away from keeping the house closed at night.
In fact, after being assassinated that day, Zhang Ren was in a coma for three days. At first, everyone stayed by his bedside. After learning that his life was not in danger, they devoted themselves to the cause of revenge. It's a pity that the assassins that day were really slippery. Even if all the Jinyi Guards were dispatched to plow the Jinling City completely, there was still no news from the assassins, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
After experiencing life and death several times, Zhang Ren has become a lot more mature and stable. Looking back at this moment, he also felt the problem with the letter from Marquis Pingliang, although Zhang Ren learned from Jiang Wei that Marquis Pingliang did have a lot of concern with Huazimen. , but he also wanted to understand that the so-called letter signed by Marquis Pingliang was probably not written by Marquis Pingliang himself.
But the problem is that Zhang Ren personally searched for the letter at Huazimen that day. Since the letter was not written by Pingliang Hou, why did the letter appear there? Does this letter have anything to do with his assassination? What role did the Marquis of Pingliang play in his own assassination?
These problems troubled Zhang Ren, as if a huge network was coming to him.
Zhang Ren folded the letter and put it back in his arms. Even if the letter was not written by Marquis Pingliang, it might be useful in the future, so it would be better to keep it for now.
Zhang Ren's life has returned to peace again. Although he still has lingering fears about the assassination, fortunately, the Jin Yiwei is still thoroughly investigating the assassin and cracking down on organized crime. The assassin has not appeared again to Zhang Ren's disadvantage, just like the assassination. Never happened before.
On this day, Zhang Ren went to class at James' Mansion as usual. In addition to distinguished students, there were also many eunuchs and imperial doctors coming in and out, and Zhu Yunwen did not appear in the class.
Zhang Ren pulled Fu Rang and Zhou Ji over and asked, "What are these people coming in and out for?"
Fu Rang frowned and wanted to speak several times but did not answer. However, Zhou Ji was naive and didn't have so many scruples. He said, "I heard that the prince's health has been getting worse recently. I'm afraid he may not be able to survive."
Fu Rang slapped Zhou Ji on the head. Zhou Ji looked innocent and asked, "Brother Fu, why did you hit me?"
Fu Rang shook his head and said angrily: "Are you stupid on Saturday? The prince is the prince, and we can discuss the prince's physical condition? Didn't Marquis Jiang Xia tell you not to say these things when you were at home?"
Zhou Ji rubbed his head and said aggrievedly: "What Third Brother Fu said is that my father did ask me not to talk nonsense about these things, but Brother Ren asked me and I forgot about it."
Zhang Ren, however, raised his eyes and looked at Fu Rang and said, "Brother Fu, you are not an honest person."
Fu Rang was puzzled and asked, "Why did Brother Ren say this?"
Zhang Ren said: "It's true that the prince is the crown prince. His physical condition cannot be discussed in public. But there are only three of us here and it won't spread. If it comes from your mouth or my ears, I will ask about it." If you don't tell me, do you think you don't regard me as a brother? It's better to be my brother Saturday, that's interesting."
Normally when everyone talks about Zhou Ji, they often joke about him and say he is stupid. It seems that only Zhang Ren doesn't say that about him. Now Zhang Ren even says that he is interesting, which makes Zhou Ji very happy.
He raised his eyebrows, smiled at Zhang Renhan and said, "Brother Ren treats me well, so I am naturally very interesting."
Fu Rang pulled Zhou Ji away and said, "Don't interrupt."
After saying that, Fu Rang turned to Zhang Ren again and said: "Brother Ren, you are going too far when you say this. Our friendship is life-threatening, and I would never dare to say that you saved me." Forget, if it weren’t for Brother Nian, I might have suffered an injustice long ago. And it was precisely because of Brother Nian that I dared to muster up the courage to face my feelings, and I dared to take Ayi from Pingliang Hou Mansion. In my family, Ayi and I also discussed that when the child is born, we must recognize you as the godfather."
Speaking of Ayi, Zhang Ren also remembered that she was the native maid next to the concubine of the Marquis of Pingliang. When he first learned about the situation of the two of them, Zhang Ren was still just a common man. At that time, he only thought that Fu Rang was Just for fun, after all, most noble children are nothing. Even if Ayi was pregnant at that time, even if the child she gave birth to would probably not have any status in the future, who would have thought that Fu Rang would actually bring Ayi to his house? Yes, this is really rare.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ren quickly raised his hands to Fu Ranggong and said, "Brother Fu is still a very emotional man."
Fu Rang returned the favor and said, "That's right. After all, Ayi is pregnant with my child. If I abandon their mother and child, then I would be too much of a human being."
Zhang Ren also hurriedly said: "My younger brother just questioned Third Brother Fu for being unreasonable. Third Brother Fu, please don't take it to heart."
Fu Rang smiled and said: "How can it be possible? As I said before, we are close friends. By the way, Brother Ren, didn't you offend King Yan before?"
King Yan, that is Zhang Ren's eternal pain. He has little historical knowledge and only knows that King Yan will be the emperor in the future, so if heaven gives him another chance to start over, he will definitely hug King Yan well. thigh.
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Fu, please don't mention this matter. It gives me a headache just talking about it. I'm still wondering if there is any chance to make amends and see if I can ease the relationship with King Yan."
Fu Rang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a way to do this. As long as Brother Ren listens to my actions, I will definitely be able to ease the relationship with King Yan."
What's this? This is why someone gives me a pillow when I feel sleepy! Zhang Ren firmly believed that Fu Rang was the noble person in his life. It seemed that he had done the right thing by helping him clear away the suspicion.
Zhang Ren once again raised his hand towards Fu Rang and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Third Brother Fu first. Third Brother Fu is indeed upright!"
To put it bluntly, Zhang Ren is shameless. Just now he was saying that Fu Rang was unreasonable, and now he is praising Fu Rang for his righteousness. This also changed suddenly.
Zhang Ren said again: "What should I do? Third brother Fu quickly tell my brother."
Fu Rang was also sitting upright. He liked people to praise him for his righteousness. He pretended to clear his throat and then said: "The purpose of King Yan's visit to the capital is to pay homage to Duke Wei."
