Regarding Wang Xiaofei's death, Zhang Ren struggled for a long time before telling all the truth, because he knew that he had already fallen in love with Xu Haoyuan, and he had fallen in love with her from the first time they met.
Even if Wang Xiaofu commits suicide, there is still an inescapable relationship between him and Zhang Ren.
Zhang Ren is now one of the 100 members of the Jinyiwei family. It is normal for him to check some files at the Jinyiwei Yamen. Of course, Zhang Ren does not have the right to consult many files related to national affairs. Fortunately, Wang Xiaofei's death is not the case. Its column.
Zhang Ren easily obtained all the files about Wang Xiaowei, and the descriptions in them were quite detailed, from Wang Xiaowei supporting Yu Zhaosen in establishing the Nine Sects, to the Nine Sects committing a heinous crime and being annihilated by the Jin Yi Guards, and Wang Xiao's illegal actions. He hid Yu Zhaosen, and the Jinyi guards behind him arrested Yu Zhaosen. Under pressure from the outside world, Wang Xiaofei finally committed suicide.
This file is interesting. Zhang Ren's name is never mentioned in it from beginning to end. Wherever Zhang Ren should appear, he is mentioned with the word "Jinyiwei".
This saved Zhang Ren from having to correct the file, so he took it directly to Qingmaoshuang.
Xu Haoyuan read every word of this dossier very carefully. After reading it, she just shook her head and sighed quietly.
There are too many people in the world who can't help themselves. Even a big man like Wang Xiaofei, who can turn his hands into clouds and rain, is not immune. He has the entire beggar gang firmly tied to himself. This is It means that he has no freedom at all.
Moreover, it is not easy to distinguish between good and evil in the world, just like Wang Xiaofei. He knew that Yu Zhaosen had committed many crimes. Not only did he not dissuade him, but he also provided convenience in all aspects. After the incident, he even hid Yu Zhaosen's traces. Only from this At first glance, Wang Xiaofei really deserves to die.
But from the perspective of a beggar gang, Wang Xiaofei saved all the beggars in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a great beggar.
People always have multiple sides. Good and evil seem to conflict, but sometimes there is no sense of incompatibility when these two characteristics are placed in the same person at the same time.
Xu Haoyuan slowly closed the file and asked again: "Master Zhang, have you ever found out who the Red-faced Shura is? I want to ask him face to face if there is anything left by his adoptive father."
Zhang Ren hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head and said: "It's not written in the file, and I couldn't ask about it. I'm really sorry."
Xu Haoyuan shook his head, handed the file back to Zhang Ren, and then said: "Master Zhang has helped me too much. I am the one who should be sorry. These things were all caused by my beggar gang. Now I am my foster father." Many of my old friends have come to Jinling. What should I, the Beggar Clan, do? Don’t worry, Mr. Zhang, I will spread the news about my adoptive father’s suicide. In this way, no one will come to trouble the court. It’s also a good thing for the people of Jinling.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ren quickly saluted Xu Haoyuan solemnly and said, "I would like to thank Miss Xu on behalf of the people of Jinling."
Zhang Ren stood up slowly and asked again: "What's going on here, Miss Xu doesn't want to go back to the Beggar Clan Headquarters, right? It's so hard for you to come to Jinling, and you always want to visit the bustling Jinling, and I always want to It’s good to show your kindness as a landlord.”
Xu Haoyuan lowered her head and fiddled with the white cloth around her waist. She shook her head and said, "My adoptive father has just passed away. How can I be in the mood for fun? However, I am not in a hurry to go back to the Beggar Clan."
….
"It's better if you don't rush, it's better if you don't rush." Zhang Ren smiled and almost jumped up with excitement. However, he then thought about his foster father's death. Wasn't his smile a little inappropriate?
Zhang Ren quickly put on the expression of a deceased family member and said, "My condolences."
Seeing that Xu Haoyuan was really depressed, Zhang Ren simply told Xu Haoyuan a joke: "Miss Xu, let me tell you a story."
Xu Haoyuan nodded and said, "Master Zhang, please speak."
"Once upon a time, someone went to Antarctica to find penguins."
"Where is Antarctica? And what are penguins?"
Well, the generation gap of the times cannot often be bridged by a few words.
However, Zhang Ren still explained: "Antarctica is a very cold place, and penguins are a kind of bird that lives there."
Xu Haoyuan nodded and expressed
understood.
Zhang Ren continued: "This man really wanted to know about penguins, so when he saw penguins, he would ask: Little Penguin, what do you do every day? Little Penguin replied: Eat, sleep and play. The man ran to ask the second question Penguin: Little Penguin, what do you do every day? The second little penguin’s answer was still to eat, sleep and play. This person asked several penguins in a row, and the answers were all the same, until the person asked the ninetieth question. When there were nine penguins: Little Penguin, what do you do every day? The ninety-ninth little penguin immediately replied: Eat and sleep. The man was puzzled and asked quickly: Aren't you going to tease me? Just listen to this little penguin. Penguin replied: I am just Doudou."
Xu Haoyuan initially thought that Zhang Ren would tell him something about the affairs of the court, but he didn't expect that it was just a story. But at the end of hearing the story, Xu Haoyuan was stunned for three seconds, then turned around and started laughing. .
Isn’t it great that this simple joke in later generations has made beautiful women smile after hundreds of years?
Then Zhang Ren began to tell Xu Haoyuan many fairy tales, and Xu Haoyuan listened with as much interest as Han Qin.
In the next few days, Zhang Ren would go to Moss Manor to tell Xu Haoyuan stories whenever he had time, and occasionally show off his cooking skills. In each fairy tale, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
But the two of them had a tacit understanding of not breaking through the layer of window paper.
Xu Haoyuan felt that he was a son and daughter of the world, and there were too many obstacles between his identity and Zhang Ren. If the two of them were really together, then he would no longer have a foothold in the world.
But there was a thorn in Zhang Ren's heart, and that was Wang Xiaofei's death. Even if Wang Xiaofei committed suicide, he used his own sword. It is an indisputable fact that Zhang Ren was the red-faced Shura.
That afternoon, Zhang Ren was still telling fairy tales to Xu Haoyuan, but before the story could be finished, he saw a man with a thousand faces entering Qingmaoshuang with several guards in royal robes, and a eunuch accompanying him.
The Thousand-faced Man didn't even notify him, so he barged in when he came across the door. At this moment, Qingmaoshuang was also in a state of panic.
After getting the news, Zhang Ren and Xu Haoyuan came out immediately.
As the Nine-Pocket Elder of the Beggar Clan, Xu Haoyuan naturally stood at the front. She showed off her momentum and asked domineeringly: "What? Can I just break into the Moss Village wearing official uniform?"
At this moment, the good impression he had for the imperial court disappeared.
Zhang Ren was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding, so he immediately stood in front of Xu Haoyuan.
Night rivers and lakes.
