Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

"Thank you sir."

"Thank you young master?"

Waking up from a trance, Xie Gui was startled, and looked up at the other party.

Standing in front of him was a kind-faced middle-aged man, well-dressed, like an ordinary official, but with a respectful attitude.

He was sitting on the steps of King Yan's dormitory, with the lights flickering behind him and shadows intertwined.The middle-aged man looked at him with a smile, showing an expression of pampering the younger generation.

"How is your Highness?" the middle-aged man asked cautiously.

Xie Gui didn't speak.

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, instead he squatted down and looked at Xie Gui almost flatteringly.

"Mr. Xie, you are able to speak in front of His Highness. My master has a merciless request..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gui Yi suddenly opened the door of the dormitory, and his cold eyes almost pierced Xie Gui.

Eyes intertwined, for a long time, Gui Yi said coldly: "Just wait." Then he slammed the door.

Xie Gui looked sad, apologized and wanted to leave.

The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile, "Young Master Xie, are you worried about His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Xie Gui was impatient, and scolded: "You know what to ask. It's late, why are you still staying here?"

From the middle-aged man's point of view, Xie Gui was desperate.

King Yan was inexplicably poisoned, Xie Gui was the only one present at the time, and even the chief guard of King Yan was impatient with him.When the matter got out, Xie Gui and Xie's family couldn't get it right.

The middle-aged man smiled knowingly, "Mr. Xie doesn't know something, my master's surname is Zhao."

As soon as he clicked, he really saw Xie Gui's eyes fixed and asked, "Is that the Zhao family who has practiced medicine for generations?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Young Master Xie is well-informed—yes, it is the Zhao family. To be honest, my master has a way to solve your urgent needs."

Xie Gui's expression brightened, then dimmed again, and said with a sneer, "Don't lie to me, isn't the current Patriarch of the Zhao family a fool?"

He seemed to look at the middle-aged man casually, his eyes sharp for a moment.

The middle-aged man praised: "Young master is a sensible person. Yes, my Patriarch was once a fool, but he got better six years ago. He is a good Xinglin in Youji City."

He watched Xie Gui's reaction closely.

The young man seemed to relax for a moment, but then he became vigilant again, shook his head and said, "No, I can't take this risk."

Xie Gui left in a hurry without even taking a second look.The middle-aged man smiled regretfully, showing an expression of unknown meaning.

In the next few days, there was no news of King Yan's improvement.

There are rumors and gossip in Youji City, everyone is waiting to watch the show.

Including the Zhao family, which is firmly seated in the top spot in the city.

In the winding and deep Zhao family mansion, the middle-aged man just came back from the outside, took a stack of receipts, and went straight to the main house.

The servants and maids around are commonplace, and they even closed the door intimately.

A young woman with sharp makeup was sitting in the main room, and the middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the young lady."

The woman hummed, and continued to flip the abacus.After a long while, she drew a few strokes on the ledger and raised her eyes: "Where are the things?"

The middle-aged man handed over the receipt, "The list of tenants and all the IOUs with fingerprints are here."

The woman picked up the receipts with a brocade handkerchief, shook a little disgustedly, and accidentally slipped one of them.The IOU was stained with dry ink on the ledger, making it impossible to see the amount owed.

"That should be owed ten taels of silver..."

The woman raised her eyebrows sharply, "Ten taels? Then why write this note?" Immediately, she took a pen and wrote 100 taels, and put it back into the pile of receipts.

The middle-aged man did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

"There are a lot of diseases in the spring, and the medicinal materials are sold out too fast. You should go and check the stock in two days. It's time to buy."

The middle-aged man reminded her: "Young madam, Mr. Xie..."

Suddenly, the woman frowned, "I forgot." She turned to knock on the table, very dissatisfied, "Housekeeper Zhao, what do you do? It's been a few days, why hasn't Xie Gui come to see me?"

Her domineering attitude seemed to be in the capital.Butler Zhao paused, and then gently mentioned: "Young Madam, you are in Youji now, not Sheng's."

Young Madam Sheng covered her nose and mouth with a kerchief, and smiled coquettishly, but her eyes were full of resentment.

"Yes, yes, You Ji, heh... You Ji." Sheng twisted her handkerchief and leaned forward slightly.

"Without the good family background and background in the capital, it's fine. Anyway, the family is thinking about old love and sent me a silly husband."

Sheng's eyes were delicate and charming, and he turned slightly to look at the person sitting behind the curtain of the bed.

Sitting there was her husband, who was also the head of the Zhao family in name, the young master Zhao Pinjun.

Seeing the beautiful daughter-in-law looking at him, Zhao Pinjun tilted his head and smiled innocently.

Young Master Zhao became stupid not long after he was born. Master Zhao heard that there were medicinal herbs for the disease in northern Xinjiang, so he took people to look for them himself, but the result was lost in the hands of bandits halfway, and the family property was left to Young Master Fool.

Butler Zhao followed Mr. Zhao when he was young. He was grateful. Once the master left, he stayed and helped the idiot young master take care of the family business.

The big Zhao family didn't disperse for a while.

When the young master was 19 years old, Butler Zhao began to worry about his marriage.Unexpectedly, the Sheng family in the capital favored her and married a daughter from a concubine.

It is the Sheng family who is now in charge.

The Sheng family is beautiful and very resourceful. When she married into the Zhao family, many people sighed, but they could only watch the Zhao family become more and more stable and bigger.

Sheng got up, sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her husband's chin and giggling.

"Pin Lang, am I beautiful?"

The fool only knows how to laugh.

Sheng sighed, and poked his finger like a green onion on his face, "Pin Lang, are you stupid?"

Before Zhao Pinjun could respond, Sheng Shi said to himself: "Outsiders say that I am good. Not only do I take care of the family business, but I can also make fools smart. Pinlang, you are not stupid, do you understand?"

The fool still stared at her blankly, and laughed.

She hooked the fool's shoulders softly and bonelessly, squinted her eyes, and told Steward Zhao:

"That kid Xie Gui is just a bastard. He has been sent to Zhuangzi for so many years because of his serious illness. I don't know what kind of heresy he has learned. It's no wonder that King Yan despises him so much. It's just a talisman. What a monster."

The Sheng family's impression of Xie Gui remained at that time, and King Yan hurriedly took Xie Gui away, which was equivalent to taking hostages from Xie's family.

She breathed hot air into the fool's neck again.

"I guess he will come to you in two days. If you want to suppress the news that King Yan was poisoned, you have to go to the Zhao family. Don't you think so, Steward Zhao?"

Steward Zhao smiled knowingly.

The Sheng family claimed that the young master has recovered, but he still needs to rest. During this period, the prescriptions for various diseases were claimed to be prescribed by the young master, but in fact they came from Butler Zhao.

He has been following the master for many years, and has learned excellent medical skills.Coupled with the Sheng family who has many methods, it is not difficult for outsiders to believe that the young master is getting better.

The eyes of the two met, like thunder from the sky stirring up the fire on the ground, and the flames burned their bodies in a short while.

Obviously this was not the first time, the bed creaked, and the usually shrewd two naturally had no chance to see the idiot's expression, let alone notice his clenched fist.

-

Xie Gui always had a normal schedule, but because he had to accompany Feng Zhang in acting and caught the Zhao family's big fish, he was so tired that he had to catch up on sleep for several days.

After dealing with most of the documents sent by officials in Yandi, Xie Gui brought a few important ones and went to Fengzhang's bedroom to "visit sick".

Gui Yi didn't give him a good look at the door, and once he entered the bedroom, he consciously disappeared.

Feng Zhang took a leisurely book and lay on the couch to read it leisurely.Seeing this scene, Xie Gui felt a burst of unexplainable anger in his heart.

When he was exhausted, Feng Zhang almost wanted to make King Yan into a real idle prince.He even doubted whether Fengzhang had the heart to return to the capital.

Before Xie Gui hit himself with the document, Feng Zhang closed the book, "The cook made Qingjiang County's fashionable snacks, please sit down."

It was not easy to find ingredients from Qingjiang County in Yandi, Xie Gui calmed down, so he did not get angry with Feng Zhang.

"The miscellaneous soldiers below all act according to the faces of the superiors. The county government respects King Yan, and they dare not make mistakes."

Before Xie Gui made a move, Feng Zhang put two pieces into his mouth, "It tastes good...what else?"

He glanced faintly at Feng Zhang.

"The situation of iron ore is better than expected. This thing is too dangerous, and it is easy to be planted into rebellion. Those people only dare to ask for money, but not for other things."

"The big problem lies with the Zhao family. The Sheng family has buried two lines here, one is the sheriff and the other is in the Zhao family."

Feng Zhang thought for a while, "You mean the Sheng family who married into the Zhao family a few years ago?"

Xie Gui nodded, "It's her. The Sheng Wei family had an original marriage contract and planned to marry her to the powerful son of the Wei family, but the Wei family was different from the past and tried to push it away."

"The Tiangang Guard has watched over this matter, and luckily the third brother and the Wei family are both proud, otherwise the relationship between the third brother and the eighth brother would be difficult."

Speaking of the third prince Feng Yuan, Feng Zhang seemed to glance at Xie Gui unintentionally.

Xie Gui added: "The Zhao family came from a medical practice, and now they are not only in charge of the medicinal materials in Yandi, after the Sheng family came in, they also intervened in the business dealings with the Zhai people. No one dares to be number two in Yandi when they are number one."

Feng Zhang frowned slightly: "The official route is established, but the source of wealth has to start with the Zhao family——Young Master Xie, I heard that the Zhao family entrusted you to have a relationship with this king, why didn't you agree?"

His tone was slightly teasing, Xie Gui sneered: "Your Highness, it's what you said to put a long line to catch big fish."

"She wants to use the favor of curing me, relying on me to do things, and leave you with another trick. This fish is not easy to catch."

"I have my measure."

Xie Gui was sure, so Feng Zhang didn't say anything, and instead talked about his own poisoning.

Feng Zhang left the capital for nothing more than to track down the person who poisoned him.Shiliu said that the man did not stop, which meant that there was an inner ghost among the attendants.

Speaking of poisoning, Xie Gui was really angry.

He was so exhausted that he couldn't breathe, and he was tricked by his master.

In the middle of the night, there was heavy dew, just to catch people from the Zhao family, his eyes were red from the heat, Feng Zhang was in it playing with Tiangangwei, but he slept comfortably.

Xie Gui threw the document on him, got up and left.Feng Zhang smiled and called a few words, but the calls made him walk faster and faster.

"Remember what grudge..."

Feng Zhang shook his head regretfully, feeling that it was not enjoyable.He flipped through the documents, and there were Xie Gui's handwriting on them. Obviously, he had already thought up a countermeasure and brought it to him for his purpose.

He sighed another duplicity, picked up two pieces of snacks and put them in his mouth.

With just one mouthful, tears flowed out.

The sweet dessert, which he originally used to make amends for Xie Gui, turned out to be extremely spicy at this moment.He inadvertently took a full bite, burning from his throat to his stomach.

"Thank you... Thank you Gui! You stop for me!"

In the early morning of the next day, the news that King Yan yelled at the eldest son of the Xie family flew all over the city.
