Jianghu are all masters

199.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoyuan saw Zhao Chengyang and Pu Yangjing appearing at the same time, the words Xiao Mobai and Pei Junze said yesterday immediately appeared in his mind.

Xiao Mobai said that Pu Yangjing had a wicked heart but no courage, and Zhao Chengyang wanted Xiao Mobai to act together... Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel that the relationship between these two people might not be as simple as he thought.

What's more, the She family is in business, and they are not officials. Why did Zhao Chengyang appear here?

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should go over or not.

Of course Lu Zhaoming also saw some people in the pavilion, he frowned slightly and said, "Why are they?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan had already grabbed his arm, taking advantage of those people not paying attention, he dragged Lu Zhaoming behind the rockery, poked half of his head out and looked over there.

He wanted to know what was going on, and his uncle was there too, so he was very worried, even afraid that all this was caused by his nonsense to Princess Zhao Changyuan that day.

He saw She Shuyi took She Shuci to walk a few steps, he seemed afraid that Zhao Chengyang and the others would hear their conversation, and She Shuyi anxiously asked: "Brother, what's going on?"

She Shuci didn't understand why he asked such a question, and was still a little confused, so he simply said to him: "Don't you guys want to do news business? I've brought you the biggest business in the world."

She Shuyi: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was speechless for a moment.

That's right, the emperor's business, isn't that the biggest business in the world?

After all, She Shuci didn't know the entanglement between Jiang Jianyu and Zhao Chengyang's identities, he only knew that they wanted to make money by selling news, and if they could take advantage of Zhao Chengyang's thigh,

Zhang Xiaoyuan sighed deeply.

Well, the matter has come to an end, and he can't escape even if he wants to.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took Lu Zhaoming's arm and dragged him to walk over together, whispering to him, "Brother, please cooperate with me later."

Lu Zhaoming didn't know what he wanted to do, but just nodded.

When they walked outside the pavilion, Qi Chaoyun was a little surprised when he saw them. Although he didn't speak, the words above his head revealed what he was thinking.

Qi Chaoyun: "Why are they?"

Qi Chaoyun: "What's going on, their uncle is the richest brother Yaodi, and the two of them are still trading news on the rivers and lakes?"

Qi Chaoyun: "This division's hidden dragon and crouching tiger are a bit scary."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

It's as if your county government is very ordinary.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, put on his innocent appearance again, and said in surprise: "Master Qi? Puyang Dutong, huh? And Brother Huang, why are you here?"

Pu Yangjing looked at him expressionlessly, and a huge word "hate" suddenly floated above his head.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled, and felt a little guilty when he met Pu Yangjing's eyes.

Zhao Chengyang has already opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Shaoxia, Lu Shaoxia, there are many concealments before——"

Pu Yangjing said: "They are buying and selling information, how could they not know anything."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but think that the relationship between Zhao Chengyang and Pu Yangjing should be really good, otherwise, if Pu Yangjing interrupted Zhao Chengyang so directly, it might not be enough to cut off a few heads.

Zhao Chengyang paused for a moment, then turned around and asked She Shuci, "Which of the two of them is Bai Xiaosheng who knows the world's affairs?"

Before She Shuci could speak, Zhang Xiaoyuan whispered: "You really are the emperor."

Zhao Chengyang was a little surprised.

Between Lu Zhaoming and Zhang Xiaoyuan, he originally thought that Bai Xiaosheng should be Lu Zhaoming, after all Zhang Xiaoyuan is a little younger and looks like a young master who is very popular at home, he really did not expect that person to be Zhang Xiaoyuan .

It's just that he was surprised, he secretly left the palace without telling everyone, he couldn't spend too much time outside the palace, so he could only ask Zhang Xiaoyuan as soon as possible, saying: "I have something to ask you."

Pu Yangjing turned to look at She Shuci and She Shuyi, and made a gesture of invitation to them, as if to let them go out first.

The affairs of the Tian family should not be known to outsiders. She Shuyi understands this truth, but even so, he still has unspeakable worries.

Pu Yangjing looked at Lu Zhaoming again, and said, "Young Master Lu."

Zhang Xiaoyuan grabbed Lu Zhaoming's arm, pretended to be panic-stricken, and said, "Brother, don't go."

After all, he had an innocent face at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Zhao Chengyang seemed to really think that he was afraid, so he couldn't help but sighed softly, and said, "Let Shaoxia Lu stay."

She Shuyi and She Shuci left, and all the maids and servants around also retreated. Zhao Chengyang started and asked Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Fifteen years ago, Fengji County suffered a severe epidemic, how much do you know?"

What he wanted to ask was really the second senior brother.

Zhang Xiaoyuan replied: "Know a thing or two."

Zhao Chengyang sighed softly.

"Since you are a Bai Xiaosheng who knows everything about the world, I don't need to hide too much from you." Zhao Chengyang said, "Did you ever know that I have a long-lost elder brother?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "I know."

Zhao Chengyang asked: "Do you know where he is now?"

After he said this, he seemed a little nervous. He stared into Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes, feeling uneasy, and Zhang Xiaoyuan met his eyes, and said bluntly: "He is dead."

Before he could say a word, Pu Yangjing sneered and said, "I don't think so."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was pretending to be calm, he almost raised his heart in his throat, only to hear Pu Yangjing say: "If he is dead, why are you going to see the eldest princess?"

The implication is that they have been brought together with the events of the year, and Zhao Changyuan was related to the events of the year, so they went to see Zhao Changyuan, and they were naturally related to that event.

What he said was really far-fetched, but Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that there was still room for maneuver in this matter.

Pu Yangjing went on to say: "You don't need to ask me how I know, I naturally have my own way."

He seemed to have a plan in mind, as if he already knew everything.

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt nervous when he saw words popping out of Puyang Jing's head.

"Cheat them first, let them think I know everything."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

"See the eldest princess?" Zhang Xiaoyuan blinked and answered seriously, "I want to make money."

Pu Yangjing smiled: "You still admit it."

"Last month, I brought back from the Sanhua Palace the beauty cream formulated by Palace Master Mei himself." Zhang Xiaoyuan started his nonsense, "I want to borrow Uncle She's money from Longbaozhuang to make money for business."

Pu Yangjing: "..."

Pu Yangjing: "Why are you going to meet the eldest princess?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "The biggest deal in the world is just around the corner, of course I'm going to see it."

Pu Yangjing looked at him with a frown, obviously still a little unbelieving.

"I've already made a deal with Palace Master Mei." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "After the matter is completed, he will give me the beauty cream, and I will push the beauty cream out from the eldest princess. His beauty cream is so effective, It must be very popular with ladies and gentlemen!"

Pu Yangjing said with difficulty: "You are lying."

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt aggrieved: "You can ask Palace Master Mei."

Based on what he knew about Mei Ling'an, he was a man with seven apertures and a delicate heart. If Pu Yangjing really asked about this matter, Mei Len'an would definitely cover it up for him.

Pu Yangjing still didn't believe it.

"Since you said that you are going to show the beauty cream to the eldest princess." Puyang Jing said, "You must have some beauty cream on you, right?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded: "Yes, in my room."

Pu Yangjing: "Take it here and show it to me."

"A box of 50 taels of silver, Puyang Dutong, you and I have known each other for a while, I will give you a half discount, 25 taels." Zhang Xiaoyuan stretched out his hand to Pu Yangjing, and smiled with Puyang Jing, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm greedy for money."

Pu Yangjing: "..."

Pu Yangjing fell silent.

He finally realized that he seemed to be no match for this brat.

Originally, his own inferences were untenable. Not all the people who met Zhao Changyuan had something to do with the incident back then. He just felt that it was too coincidental for Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others to come from Fengji County. He was very worried and wanted to cheat. Zhang Xiaoyuan made them think that he knew everything, but Zhang Xiaoyuan was completely unmoved, which made him lose his way for a while.

Zhao Chengyang had already opened his mouth and said, "Puyang, Ayun, you two go down first."

Qi Chaoyun: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Pu Yangjing was stunned: "Your Majesty, this is..."

Zhao Chengyang waved his hand at him, Pu Yangjing frowned, seemed a little angry, didn't say much, just turned his head and followed Qi Chaoyun to leave.

When they walked out of the yard, Zhao Chengyang turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan, and asked, "Young Xia Zhang, I have no malicious intentions."

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't speak.

He knew that Zhao Chengyang was not hostile, at least according to the information he had now, Zhao Chengyang simply wanted to find his blood brother back, and he had no intention of doing anything to the second senior brother from the beginning to the end.

But Zhao Chengyang didn't want to do it where Chaotang was good at killing people without blood, but it didn't mean he wouldn't.

Zhang Xiaoyuan didn't let go, he shook his head seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, people who die cannot be resurrected, my condolences."

Zhao Chengyang: "..."

"If Zhang Shaoxia has any news about him and wants to tell me." Zhao Chengyang sighed softly, "Just tell She Shuci about it, and he will pass it on to the palace."

"Back in the famine year, when the disease was caught, most of the people who died of the disease were turned into a torch of fire." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "I don't know where he was buried."

The implication is that even if there is news, it can only be news about that person's grave.

Zhao Chengyang said no more.

After Zhao Chengyang left, Zhang Xiaoyuan realized that he had been holding Lu Zhaoming's hand, and broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

His hands were trembling almost uncontrollably, Lu Zhaoming patted the back of his hands, as if to comfort him not to be so nervous.But Zhang Xiaoyuan knew that his lies were not clever, and Pu Yangjing would definitely go to investigate again. The second senior brother was in danger, and he didn't know what to do. After confirming that Zhao Chengyang left She's residence and returned to the palace, he ran to find She Shuyi, I want to ask my uncle's opinion.

She Shuyi was waiting for them outside the yard, Zhang Xiaoyuan ran out of the yard, feeling something was wrong for a moment.

In front of She Shuyi stood two maidservant sisters, their faces were familiar, and Zhang Xiaoyuan felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Then he saw a line of writing appearing on the head of a maidservant sister.

"Take a private bath with mandarin ducks, and hold hands in public."

"Alas."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan let go of Lu Zhaoming's hand that he was holding, feeling terrified and uneasy in his heart, watching She Shuyi turn around.

"Zhaoming, Xiao Yuan." She Shuyi frowned and said, "What happened yesterday?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Uncle Master...I...you listen to my explanation!"
