The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 431 Meet Zhang Lao Again

At first glance, the yard is often cleaned by someone, it is very clean, and there are some simple flowers and plants planted in it.

Zhen Qingping crossed the path, took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the door of the main house, pushed the door lightly, and walked in.

"I've had someone clean it thoroughly here, and the things inside are all new. Please check to see if you're satisfied. Is there anything that needs to be replaced?"

While talking, he took out a fire pocket and turned on the lights in the room. The orange light instantly dispelled the darkness and brought a little dry warmth.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their expressions eased.

Jun Rong looked around and said: "There is nothing to be picky about at this time, I am already content with a place to live."

Zhen Qingping smiled and said, "The side rooms have also been cleaned, you can choose one to live in."

"Tomorrow, I'll find a few clean maidservants to come and serve me. They are very strict and won't say anything."

"Okay, my lord." Jun Rong sat down at the table, Ning Zhao put down the burden, took out the contents, and put them where they should be.

"What kind of medicinal materials are needed to treat diseases? You can tell me that although Bingzhou is not very rich, it is quite complete in terms of medicinal materials." Zhen Qingping sat down opposite Jun Rong.

"Okay, we won't be polite with you, but I have one more request." Jun Rong said, "I want to ask you to help me find someone."

"Your Majesty... Please tell me, my lord." Zhen Qingping couldn't change his words for a while, and couldn't help but want to call His Majesty Jun Rong.

Jun Rong smiled: "Your Excellency, you can call me Young Master in the future, Young Master Rong."

Zhen Qingping nodded: "I remember."

"I want my lord to help me find Mr. Zhang, the same Mr. Zhang who always helped Taifu see a doctor before."

"Old Zhang?"

Zhen Qingping thought for a while and asked, "Is it the one with the goatee?"

"Yes, we fled the capital in a hurry before. He didn't go with us in the palace. Later, he escaped with the help of the concubine, but lost contact with us. I thought that if he was safe and sound, he would definitely Come find us."

"Young Master, you mean that he will come to Bingzhou?" Zhen Qingping was thoughtful: "If that's the case, he should come to the magistrate's office to inquire about the news."

Jun Rong paused, Mr. Zhang knew that the Taifu and Zhen Qingping had a very good relationship, if he guessed that they might come here, maybe he would really come to Zhen Qingping on his own initiative.

"I will let people pay attention. If I find Zhang Lao's trace, I will contact him as soon as possible."

"It's work."

"My lord, you don't need to be polite. You are a student of A Yu, and you were raised by her alone. We are also a family. It is only natural for me to help you."

Jun Rong shook his head, there is nothing natural and righteous, to help is a matter of affection, not to help is a duty, and if you have received favors from others, remember to be grateful, nothing is taken for granted.

However, Zhen Qingping didn't give him a chance to speak. He glanced at a few people and said, "You've all been drenched in the rain, you're all soaked, go back and change your clothes, I'll ask someone to bring some hot water over, and you can take a bath." Take a hot bath, get some rest earlier, if you have anything to say, it’s not too late to talk about it tomorrow.”

"That's right, Ning Zhao, hurry up and change your clothes, you are a woman, you can't stand the cold more than us, you must pay more attention." Jun Rong looked at Ning Zhao.

"Then I'll go back first, and the young master will call me if there is anything else."

"Tsing Yi and Lan Yi, you guys should go back too. When Han Yi comes back, tell him not to come see me and let him have a good rest."

"Yes."

Everyone dispersed, and after a while, someone brought hot water over.

Jun Rong observed for a while, these servants did not look sideways when they brought in the water, and left without asking a single word.

"It seems that my uncle is very good at picking people."

Jun Rong smiled with satisfaction, and his heart was completely relieved.

It was night, and everyone had a rare peaceful sleep after bathing.

……

After the rain the next day, the sun cleared, and the people came out to bask in the sun and walk around.

"Hey, have you guys heard that something strange happened at the Fuman Inn last night?"

"What's weird? Let's hear it."

A few idle middle-aged men in the tea stall gathered together to talk.

"I heard that the inn was haunted last night!" The person who started the conversation lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Really? Don't make up nonsense to scare people. How can there be any ghosts, ghosts?"

"Listen to me first!" The man raised one leg and stepped on the bench and said casually, "Didn't a few foreigners come to the inn yesterday? The leader is a beautiful young lady."

"I've heard about it. I was eating in the lobby, and I was lucky enough to meet that young lady. Although she was wearing a veil, she could tell she was a beauty just by looking at her eyes. Why, what you said has something to do with her?"

"Oh, I guessed right, it has something to do with her. The five of them asked for four upper rooms. It was fine during dinner, but when Xiao Er went up to check this morning, he found that no one was there, and all four rooms were empty. , there is no trace at all."

"What do you mean there are no traces?"

"If someone stays in the room overnight, shouldn't the quilts and water glasses on the bed have traces of use? But their room is as neat as if no one has ever been in it. Do you think it's strange?"

"This……"

"In the end, Xiaoer only found a silver coin in that lady's room, which is not light, enough for them to stay in the inn for ten days and a half months."

"What's so strange about this, maybe they left early in the morning, and they didn't pay attention."

"The door of the inn was not opened early in the morning, where are they going?"

"Maybe he left last night?"

"Xiaoer stayed in the lobby last night and never saw them come out. How did he get away? Could it be that they couldn't fly?"

Several people murmured and discussed, and began to guess how they left without a sound, but they didn't notice that the person at the table with their backs to them suddenly raised his head.

"Five people...disappeared suddenly...beautiful lady?"

Zhang Lao muttered to himself, "Could it be that they have already arrived?"

He pinched a peanut and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, picked up the tea bowl and drank it down in one gulp, stood up decisively and said to Xiao Er: "Pay the bill."

"okay!"

Xiao Er came over, Zhang Lao casually gave him a piece of silver.

Xiao Er suddenly smiled and said: "Guest officer, go slowly—"

Zhang Lao pressed the bamboo hat on his head, and silently blended into the crowd.

He came to the door of Zhen's Mansion, hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward to knock on the door.

Uncle Li came to open the door, and was stunned when he saw the person at the door, "Are you—"

Zhang Lao raised his head and said, "I'm here to see your lord, please go and inform me that there is an old man named Zhang waiting for him here."
