Shu Blossoms

Chapter 267 There are big things to come

Liniang nodded in agreement, but she was still worried: "Jiankang City has become lively these two days, and there have been fewer people talking about you, but I'm afraid this is not the solution. Those people in the capital can still use this to criticize you."

"I know this method is not smart," Zheng Wei nodded, and said with a smile: "I did this not to delay the academic competition because of this matter, but also to vent my anger. At this moment, the person behind them is probably already You can see that I am aiming at them!"

"Then what if someone still makes things difficult for you with what happened three years ago?" Miao Er asked.

"Who can prove it?" Zheng Wei asked back, "He Bajing knows it, but does he dare to stand up and say it in front of everyone? Does he dare to say that it is his Mingyue Tower that is auctioning Princess Dazhou in public?"

"Since no one can prove it, why did they throw this matter out in such a big way? Just to use rumors to force you to leave or prevent you from finding a good husband?"

Miao'er was still a little puzzled.

Zheng Wei suddenly stopped, turned her head and stared at her and asked, "What did you just say?"

Miao Er was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "I said nonsense."

"Repeat what you just said!"

Zheng Wei urged anxiously.

"I mean what is the real purpose of the people behind the scenes?" Miao Er hastily explained.

"Yeah, what does that person want? Staying away from Jiankang or not being able to find a good husband may be a big deal for ordinary girls, but it's just a tickle for me. Is it to prevent me from entering the world?" Forbidden Army? But I refused early on, and His Majesty didn’t force it anymore. With that person’s ability, he should have known it long ago, so why do he have to do these things so thanklessly?”

Suddenly Zheng Wei felt that there was something he had overlooked?
But she couldn't remember for a while.

In Jiankang City's National Teacher's Mansion, Zhang Ruo was standing by the alchemy furnace, looking at the raging flames in the alchemy furnace, and told the Taoist boy who was burning the fire, "Turn the fire to medium and low after a cup of tea. Remember not to have too much, otherwise the This furnace of pill will be destroyed."

The Taoist boy responded respectfully, and a Taoist from outside hurried in and whispered softly in his ear.

Zhang Ru nodded, and said softly, "Let him wait for me for a while, and I'll talk later."

Soon Zhang Ruo changed into a plain white robe and came out with a whisk in his hand. The people waiting in the lobby got up and saluted quickly when they saw him, "National Teacher."

Zhang Ru smiled lightly and nodded kindly: "Here we come!"

He slowly sat down in his seat, and then looked up at the person next to him: "How's the matter?"

"Since it was dark yesterday, there have been rumors about Qian's, Wang's, Lu's, and General Pingxi's residences in Jiankang City. Now these families are afraid to go out."

"Just these few?" Zhang Ru was not worried, but asked with a smile on his face.

"There is also Shaoyin's house in Jingzhao Mansion. Anyway, most of the families we deal with have encountered some troubles. All the houses closed their doors to thank guests."

"This girl is really nice. She doesn't have many people in her hands. I didn't expect her to find out some. She must be complacent at the moment and can't care about other things, right?"

Zhang Ru had a smile on his face, and his tone of voice also showed appreciation for Zheng Wei, but his eyes were cold.

"Do you want to do the rest?" the man asked.

"Continue to do it, and the competition of imperial examinations will cause her some troubles. After all, if the emperor really lets her join the army, he doesn't know what troubles will arise." Zhang Ruo calmly ordered, and the man took the order and left.

"Little girl, it's good to be young. You can never run out of energy. It's not like I'm exhausted when I work hard. Let's find you something to do!" Zhang Rue sighed and got up. leave.

But Zheng Wei, who thought more and more felt something was wrong, couldn't sit still, and turned to ask Liniang, "Is there anything unusual about the national teacher these few days?"

Liniang shook her head, "I have been hiding in the mansion and never came out, and I haven't entered the palace very much in the past two months. I only enter the palace when His Majesty summons me."

The more Zheng Wei thought about it, the more disturbed he became, but he couldn't do anything about it. He got up and said, "I'll go back first. You guys here continue to stare at Zhang Ru and He Bajing. No matter what the purpose of the people behind them is, they are indispensable here. .”

Before leaving, he handed Liniang a brochure and told her: "This is a play I personally edited. Let Yuan Wang arrange it with the most famous actor in Jiankang City. I want to see it on the Qinhuai River before the day after tomorrow!"

Liniang sent Zheng Wei away, opened the booklet and looked at it, wondering in her heart: "If rumors can't hurt the princess, can they hurt the national teacher?"

Zheng Wei quietly got into the carriage, and Aqiao in the carriage also asked the same question.

Zheng smiled, "You also said that it is a rumor, is it a rumor in my play?"

Aqiao shook her head.

"Although the script didn't name names, and only said that he was a national teacher of a small country a hundred years ago, but most of the things in it are true, with only slight changes." Zheng Wei explained softly: "I'm planning for a rainy day. Let's see if that person can understand this truth."

A Qiao was confused by what she heard, but Zheng Wei didn't explain anymore.

This is just her feeling that there is someone behind Zhang Ruo.

What has been bothering her for the past three years is the purpose of Zhang Ruo's doing all this. She used to think that he was doing it for money. Later, seeing her evil deeds were about to be exposed, she simply stepped out in order to protect herself, and used alchemy to get Zhou God bless.

But when Zheng Wei discovered that Zhang Ru had inextricable relationships with many ministers in the DPRK, and that many girls captured by him a few years ago had been sent to the families of many ministers in various ways, Zheng Wei just Surprised that he may have a bigger conspiracy.

It's just that Zheng Wei didn't want to understand why Zhang Ru wasted so much effort and money to do this, did he want to kill the king and usurp the throne?

But a national teacher without real power can't ascend the throne even if he kills the emperor, Zheng Wei can only think about it because there are people behind him.

It's just that she has never found out who this person is.

After being reminded by Miao Er just now, she realized that the series of events in Jiankang City in the past few days may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

What is their purpose?

Zheng Wei went back to the mansion, and told his elder brother all her guesses and doubts, because she kept her head down and thought, but she didn't see the light flashing in Zheng Heng's eyes.

Zheng Heng thought about what His Majesty told him yesterday, and sighed in his heart that his younger sister is really smart, and I'm afraid he can't match this sharpness alone.

After thinking for a while, he reminded vaguely: "If you make such a fuss, everyone in the capital will focus on these things."

Zheng Wei's heart moved, "Everyone is paying attention to us, don't those who want to do something quietly have an opportunity?"

"But what do they want to do? Who is the fisherman here?"

He muttered to himself, clapped his hands and said excitedly: "There must be something going on here, it's still a big deal!"

Zheng Heng didn't dare to say any more, this girl is too smart, if you show a little bit of thread, she can stroke along the thread.

Yesterday Emperor Zhou only told him a little bit, and he felt that there was too much going on here, he couldn't see through it and didn't want to know too much, just do what Emperor Zhou ordered.

Otherwise, the entire Zheng Mansion might be involved.
