During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 101 Mr. Zhuang’s temptation
Patriarch Jiang gave a few words of warning and then left. After returning, he was still worried. He found Mr. Zhuang directly after school and mentioned the matter inadvertently.

After Patriarch Jiang left, his entourage said worriedly: "Sir, the executive's family went to Jiang Qian. Could it be that they came for you? Do you want to check?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and waved his hand, "No need, it's probably not for me."

The attendant was worried, "I didn't expect it wouldn't be safe even if I hid here, or else..."

Mr. Zhuang interrupted him, "There is nothing to be afraid of, Magistrate Gao, but there is one person who you have to guard against. Go and help me find out who Jiang Qian's brother of the opposite sex is. If you have a chance, test this person."

Mr. Zhuang narrowed his eyes, "According to Chief Jiang, this person should have a lot of background, but in the past few days since I came to the village, I have never heard Jiang Qian mention this person. The more so, the more it shows that this person is Identity is not simple.”

No one knows what happened to Jiang Qian in the years after he left Yuzhou. He made insinuations several times, and Jiang Qian’s expression always became complicated every time he mentioned the previous events. Mr. Zhuang felt that he had something to hide, and he might have something to do with this person. Brothers are related.

"Yes."

After the entourage left, Uncle Zhuang, the servant who had served Mr. Zhuang for many years, came up with tea and said, "Sir, this is wild tea sent by the villagers. I have tasted it and it tastes good. I think Mr. Lai will like it."

Mr. Zhuang took a sip and found that it tasted sweet. It was indeed good tea. "How much did you bring?"

"There are quite a few. Do you plan to give them away?"

"Go back and get two cans and send someone to deliver them to Brother Heng."

Uncle Zhuang became embarrassed, "Master, the young master probably won't want it. Why are you suffering?"

Mr. Zhuang's face was hurt, "That's all, if you don't want to give it away, I won't give it away."

After dark, Jiang Miao reluctantly went back, taking a wild rabbit with her before leaving.
Li Fengnian couldn't forget the taste of venison after he tasted it. Even if he was a billionaire, it was very difficult for him to take a bite of venison.

It's a pity that the deer in the mountains are very cunning, and they rarely come down the mountain after a few hunts. Hunter Hu found a few before, but unfortunately he didn't catch them. It was half a hour late and he couldn't find the wild deer. Luo Tingye simply decided Let Jiang Miao use rabbits to fill up the number.

"Isn't this good? Brother Li wants venison. If you give him rabbit meat, will he be unhappy?"

Luo Tingye and Li Fengnian had always written letters. He wanted to eat venison entirely for his own selfish desires. If he succeeded, it would not be his sister who would suffer in the end.

"Tell him to bring it to him next time. Remember to study hard when you go back, and remember to help me find books."

Jiang Miao agreed wholeheartedly and couldn't help hugging Luo Tingye.

If it weren't for the fact that it was time to finish class, she would have wanted to stay a little longer.

As soon as Jiang Miao left, Luo Tingye left Hewan Village for business and came back in the middle of the night. He was attacked as soon as he entered the village.

The other party's fierce attacks once made Luo Tingye suspect that he was sent by his brother. However, after fighting several times, Luo Tingye found that the other party did not seem to have the intention to kill him.

Luo Tingye took a few steps back suddenly, dodged the opponent's sweep, and asked: "Who is it? Why do you want to do it?"

In the darkness, the opponent did not answer. He punched out quickly, as fast as lightning, creating an afterimage and setting off gusts of wind, which was terrifying.

Luo Tingye paused with his feet, his body was as light as flying, he rose into the air, and landed firmly behind the opponent. He punched suddenly, and there was only a click sound, and the opponent took a breath of air.Before Luo Tingye could take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, the opponent raised a handful of dirt and ran away while Luo Tingye was blocking him.

Luo Tingye picked up a piece of tassel on the ground, his eyes dark.

After returning, he handed the tassel to Jiang Qian. Jiang Qian's expression changed after looking at it, "It's Mr. Zhuang's entourage. I've seen it. Was he the one who beat you?"

Okay, why did he sneak attack Luo Tingye? Could it be that he discovered something?
Luo Tingye took two sips of herbal tea and exhaled, "It should be him."

Jiang Qian thought thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Zhuang is a cautious person. He must have discovered something after being in the village for so long. It would be better for His Highness to hide."

Luo Tingye didn't think so, "He probably doesn't know my identity yet. You also said that he is a cautious person. Even if he suspects that there is something wrong with me, he should not rush to take action. Being so anxious just means that he is in trouble." .”

Jiang Qian squeezed the tassel tightly, "No matter what the reason is, I don't think you should see him. Mr. Zhuang once served as an official in the court. Although it was a long time ago, I am afraid that he will recognize you."

"I just heard something about Mr. Zhuang from Sun Ming. It turned out that he had a son who was under the supervision of the third son. After the third son became the prince, Mr. Zhuang wanted to persuade him to leave the court, but his son refused. , and kicked him out, and offended Lao San for this."

"Mr. Zhuang did have a son named Zhuang Yi. I heard that he had a son with a maid. He was sent away by him when he was very young. He never recognized each other. Later, Mr. Zhuang was forced to leave the court. His son But he stayed in the capital, and later he was admitted to the imperial examination."

Jiang Qian remembered something, "Originally, he had the opportunity to become the disciple of His Highness, but Your Highness refused because the things he wrote were flashy. Later, he became the disciple of the third prince."

Luo Tingye was startled. There were countless people who wanted to be his disciples every year. He had to read tens of thousands of articles alone. He couldn't remember Zhuang Yi.

But if he is really talented, he will definitely not turn him away. This only shows that he does not have much ability.

"Zhuang Yi has taken refuge with Lao San, where is Mr. Zhuang?"

"Mr. Zhuang was framed when he was an official, and he has been tired of the court ever since. But I think this is just rhetoric. In fact, Mr. Zhuang should still have the ambition to reach the top, but the person who framed him is still there, so he has no chance, otherwise he will also Zhuang Yi will not be allowed to obtain fame."

"Do you know who framed him?"

Jiang Qian nodded, "Speaking of which, His Highness should also know this person. He is Zhou Wende."

Luo Tingye frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust in his voice, "Is it him?"

Jiang Qian said: "Zhou Wende is the third prince's uncle. He is narrow-minded. He often suppresses his colleagues because he is the third prince. Mr. Zhuang is just one of them. Mr. Zhuang refuses to let his son stay with the third prince. They must also be afraid of retaliation.”

"If I can get rid of Zhou Wende for him, do you think he would be willing to help me?"

Jiang Qian's eyes widened in surprise, "It's not impossible, provided you can take Zhuang Yi under your command."

Luo Tingye thought about it and realized that it was not easy, but it was not impossible to try.

Mr. Zhuang is very capable, and he is still respected by others even after leaving the officialdom. If he can be taken under his command, the road back will be smoother.
