Xie Cheng looked solemnly and said to Zhang Ren: "If your Majesty allows me to return to my hometown as an official, I will take Wen An back home. If your Majesty does not allow it, I will trouble Zhang Baihu, and Wen An will probably bother you a lot." It’s been a long time, if there is any trouble in Jinling City in the next few days, I hope Zhang Baihu can save Wen An’s life out of consideration for his classmates.”
Zhang Ren did not agree immediately, but asked: "Does the Marquis trust me that much?"
Xie Cheng shook his head and said: "Actually, I can't believe it, but I have no other way. If things change in a few days, I don't know how many nobles in Jinling City will be spared. After thinking about it, you are the only one. The family and Li Jinglong will never be liquidated. It is impossible for that boy Li Jinglong to disobey His Majesty. He is actually a lucky minister. In comparison, you and Wen An are classmates and have the status of Jin Yiwei. I can only I entrust Wen An to you."
Zhang Ren thought for a while and said: "Master Hou, it's true that although my home is not big, we can still have a room in Wen'an. I can't promise you anything, but if there is any trouble, I will definitely do my best. But, try to keep Wen safe as much as possible."
Xie Cheng sighed, nodded and said: "Your words are enough. If my Xie family can survive safely, there will be a generous reward. I won't bother you here anymore, and will go to the palace now."
Zhang Ren stood up, cupped his hands towards Xie Cheng and said, "I'll see the Marquis off."
The two of them left the study together and went to the backyard. Xie Cheng also directly ordered Xie Wen'an: "As a father, I still have some important things to deal with. Your boy has a naughty mind. I don't worry about you being in the house. You are in Zhang's house." Let's stay here for a while, so that we can learn from Zhang Baihu what it means to be safe."
Xie Wen'an looked at Zhang Ren and couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was indeed naughty, but Zhang Ren was definitely not reliable. What could he learn from Zhang Ren? How do you contradict your teacher in class? Or how to beat nobles above the imperial court?
Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Wen'an did not dare to contradict his father. He could only nod and said, "Father, don't worry."
Xie Cheng nodded, trying to maintain the image of a strict father, but there was a touch of love in his eyes.
Although Xie Wen'an was naughty, he was definitely not stupid. He captured the love in his father's eyes, which he had never felt before.
Seeing Xie Cheng turning around and about to leave, Xie Wen'an stepped forward and asked, "Father, what happened at home? Or is there something wrong with you? You can tell me."
Xie Cheng has always been quite strict with Xie Wen'an, so Xie Wen'an's words sounded timid.
In just this moment, Xie Cheng felt that his son had finally grown up and finally knew how to care about this family and his father.
Xie Cheng's eyes were a little wet. He resisted the urge to turn around and turned his back to Xie Wen'an. He said, "You kid, don't think too much. My father is the Marquis of Yongping. What can happen?"
After finishing speaking, Xie Cheng walked out quickly, but when he reached the corner, he stopped.
He turned around, looked at Xie Cheng meaningfully, and at the same time solemnly bowed to Zhang Ren and saluted.
With Xie Cheng's title and age, not many people can accept his courtesy, and his meaning is very clear: I leave my son Xie Wen'an to you.
….
Zhang Ren cupped his hand from a distance, and his meaning was quite clear: Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I will do my best.
Xie Cheng left.
Han Qin, who had been holding back her temper, finally vented her anger on Xie Wen'an. She kicked Xie Wen'an to the ground and murmured to herself: "You two, father and son, came at the wrong time. If you hadn't come here, I would have shown off my power long ago!"
Seeing Xie Wen'an fall to the ground, Xu Haoyuan immediately said: "If you want to fight, just come to me, why bother involving unrelated people?"
Zhang Ren also had anger in his eyes and said to Han Qin: "County Lord, please respect your identity."
Normally, Xie Wen'an would have begged for mercy after being beaten by Han Qin, but today he didn't. He just stood up and dusted off the dirt on his body, looking resolutely at the place where Xie Cheng had just left, as if he had just been beaten. It was not the same as him who was defeated.
Han Qinhe
Have you ever been taught a lesson? She twisted her face stubbornly. No one knew how wronged she felt in her heart. Her eyes were slightly red, and she used Qing Kung to leave.
Seeing Han Qin leave, Zhang Ren shook his head and said to Xie Wen'an: "This girl is always very crazy. Is Brother Wen'an okay?"
Xie Wen'an did not answer, but asked Zhang Ren with a serious face: "Brother Ren, did something happen? What did my father say to you?"
Seeing that Zhang Ren had something serious to discuss here, Xu Haoyuan felt that he could not be of much help, so he immediately raised his hands to Zhang Ren and said, "Since Mr. Zhang has something to do, I will go back first."
Zhang Ren nodded, cupped his hands and said, "When I have nothing to do here, I will go to Moss Manor to tell you a story."
Xu Haoyuan smiled as brightly as a flower and said, "Okay, it's settled in one word."
Xu Haoyuan left. Zhang Ren looked at Xu Haoyuan's back and waved again and again until Xu Haoyuan completely disappeared from sight. Everyone could see the reluctance in it.
Normally, Xie Wen'an would have ridiculed Zhang Ren, but today he was not in such a leisurely mood.
"Can we talk now? Brother Ren, what on earth did my father say to you?" Xie Wen'an asked again.
Zhang Ren sat directly on the stone bench in the courtyard and asked, "Brother Wen An really wants to hear it?"
Xie Wen'an did not reply, but nodded firmly.
Zhang Ren thought for a moment and felt that Xie Wen'an should indeed face a lot of things at his age, and if something happened in the future, Zhang Ren was afraid that he would be blamed, so he told Xie Cheng exactly what he said. come out.
Xie Wen'an has always been a dandy, and he is one of the top ones in Jinling City. Before entering the former department of Jinyiweidian, he was as comfortable as he could be. He was happy every day, and he couldn't see or think about Jinling. There are still so many surging undercurrents in the city.
It took Xie Wen'an a long time to digest Zhang Ren's words one by one. He murmured to himself: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Then he asked Zhang Ren again: "Brother Ren, will my father be in danger?"
Zhang Ren shook his head and said: "Who knows, all this is not caused by power. Anyone who has the opportunity wants to touch the most noble position in the world, but after several battles, that position There are already a lot of bones down there.”
Xie Wen'an sighed and asked Zhang Ren again: "Brother Ren, is there any way I can get more information? I want to know if my father will be okay."
