Master of Rebirth

Zhao Jing returned to his room angrily, while Yan Wu was already waiting tremblingly.

He also knew that he was not good at handling things, which almost caused Wang Qi to have an accident.In case Wang Qi really fell, Yanwu really wanted to find a rope to hang himself on the southeast branch.

Taking a cautious look at Zhao Jing, he saw that his face showed no signs of improvement.Anyway, stretching out his head and retracting his head with a knife is also a knife, Yan Wu put his heart on the line, closed his eyes, knelt down in front of Zhao Jing, and said as if he were dead: "It's because my subordinates are not good at work, please punish me severely."

"You should be punished." Zhao Jing was still angry, he looked at Yan Wu and said, "I told you to watch out for Wang Qi, but you still let him have an accident. The building is so high, and the ground below is hard. Just Wang Qi With Qi's body, is she still alive if she falls from above?"

Seeing that Zhao Jing was really angry, Yan Wu knew that today's punishment was inevitable, and while complaining in his heart, he said: "This subordinate knows his crime, and is willing to be severely punished."

"Get up." Although Zhao Jing was angry, after all, he had already punished the two guards, and most of the anger in his heart had subsided.Seeing Yan Wu's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, Zhao Jing said: "Remember this military stick for now, if you commit another crime in the future, you will never be forgiven lightly. Have you found out what you asked to investigate?"

Knowing that he might have escaped a catastrophe, Yan Wu was secretly happy, and hurriedly made up for it, "Young master's order, the subordinates dare not neglect, and have already checked it out. Brother Xu only has two real estate properties in Pingyao County. The house we live in and the Zhu family mansion next door, there is no other place."

"Where is the Jinxiu Zhai that opened at the east end of Furong Street four years ago? Have you found out the owner of that shop?" Zhao Jing asked.

Yan Wu hurriedly said: "The subordinates have checked. Over the years, the store has changed owners several times. Fortunately, the subordinates found the owner of the store four years ago. According to the memory of that person, four years ago he put The shop was leased to a foreign businessman. That person opened an inn first, and then changed it into a dim sum shop a few months later, which is what you call Jinxiu Zhai. Unfortunately, it closed down after a short period of time, and the businessman also quit the shop. I never saw him again after that. Because Jinxiu Zhai quit suddenly when the business was just right, many people thought that person was stupid, and they talked about it for a long time."

"Did you find out about the foreign businessman?" Zhao Jing knew that the key to the matter lay in that person, so he hurriedly asked.

There was a look of distress on Yan Wu's face, and he said cautiously: "The original owner can't remember the name and place of origin of the foreign merchant, so he can only vaguely give a general idea. As for whether it is true, it is really hard to say. I think It may take some time to find out clearly. However, the subordinates feel that the possibility of getting results should not be too great."

"Doesn't that mean you didn't find anything?" Zhao Jing frowned impatiently. If so, it would be impossible to conclude whether the master behind Jinxiu Zhai was Wang Qi or someone else.

"It's not that the subordinates are trying to shirk, it's been many years, and that person is not a local. After leaving Pingyao County, he went into the sea like a mud cow. Looking for him is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's really not easy." Fearing that Zhao Jing would get angry with himself, Yan Wu said with a bitter face: "That person will retreat when the business is just right. He is either too stupid or has some conspiracy. Since he disappeared so thoroughly, he must have planned it long ago, so that the people who are looking for it will have no way to start. .”

What Yan Wu said made sense, there was no way to confirm who was the master behind Jinxiu Zhai back then, Wang Qi and Xu Baichuan could talk for themselves.But that store didn't just pop up out of thin air after all, it existed for several months before selling Huakai Fugui, obviously it was well prepared.

And it wasn't that Xu Baichuan didn't know the foresight, wouldn't guess that he had feelings for Wang Qi.Even if he knew, it was impossible for Xu Baichuan to set up a shop in advance.Compared with Xu Baichuan, who has only been to Pingyao County once, Wang Qi, who has been running Pingyao County for many years, is more motivated and capable of running that store.

The secret recipe of blooming flowers and wealth is Linglongzhai's signature, and it has been held by Granny Ma all the time. Many people are staring at it eagerly. It is impossible for Wang Qi not to be greedy.What's more, Wang Qi grew up in Pingyao County, with money and roots, it was easy to set up a store as a cover.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing frowned even tighter.

Seeing that Zhao Jing was very distressed, Yan Wu asked cautiously, "Why is Young Master so obsessed with this Jinxiu Zhai?"

Although Yan Wu is very unreliable sometimes, his IQ is still online most of the time, otherwise he would not have escaped so many times on the battlefield.

As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed but the bystanders are clear.Although he didn't have any hope for Yan Wu, Zhao Jing still told him everything.

After listening to the cause and effect of the matter, Yan Wu said: "Both sides insist on their own opinions, it is indeed difficult to tell the truth from the false. But the subordinates believe that Brother Xu is a man, he has always been aboveboard, and he would never do such a thing as kidnapping a girl and threatening others. The incident threatened others, not to mention that Wang Qi was kind to you and Granny Ma at that time, Brother Xu is definitely not the kind of person who repays kindness with revenge."

"Of course I believe in Brother Xu's character." Zhao Jing sighed, "But Wang Qi's words are plausible, and it doesn't seem like a lie. I really don't want to wrong him."

Yan Wu frowned, looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Young Lord, do you not want to wrong Wang Qi, or do you hope from the bottom of your heart that what he said is true?"

After hearing this, Zhao Jing froze for a moment, and then showed a wry smile.Yan Wu was right, although reason told him that he should not take Wang Qi lightly, but he still hoped that Wang Qi would not let him down from the bottom of his heart.

"If it's really difficult for the young master to make a choice, we can use the hypothetical method." Yan Wu said.

These words aroused Zhao Jing's interest, "What is the hypothetical method?"

"This is what my elder brother taught me. It is to assume that one of the parties is telling the truth, and then speculate from the result to the cause, and see if we can find any flaws." It is rare to show his face in front of Zhao Jing, Yan Wu is extremely proud He said: "Let's assume that brother Xu didn't lie, that means he never came back to Pingyao County four years ago."

Zhao Jing was puzzled and said: "Then Wang Qi is lying, and then?"

"Let's first imagine Wang Qi's motives for doing this. If Wang Qi has no reason to do this, then brother Xu is lying." Yan Wu said with a smile.

Zhao Jing said: "Can you think of Wang Qi's motive?"

"Of course." Yan Wu said: "It's possible that he thinks you and Granny Ma are worthless because Brother Xu has no news. In addition, he knows what you think about him and wants to get rid of you. You kicked them out. Now I’m saying that to you in turn, but seeing that you’re back, it’s not what it used to be, and I’m afraid of being retaliated, so I just found an excuse for myself.”

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Jing's complexion visibly sank.

"But it is also possible that Wang Qi told the truth." Yan Wu continued: "That means Brother Xu and Granny Ma both lied. According to my subordinates, Brother Xu and Granny Ma also have motives. In fact, they will It's not hard to understand, as Granny Ma, as an elder, naturally doesn't want to see you fall in love with a man, so it's reasonable to separate you and Wang Qi by tricks."

Zhao Jing couldn't help but gave Yan Wu a blank look, and said, "Don't you mean you didn't say anything? After all, I still don't know who is lying."

"Don't be in a hurry." Yan Wu said: "If it is assumed that Wang Qi is not lying, then the crux of the matter lies in Granny Ma. If her old man strongly opposes you liking men, she will definitely do everything possible to stop it. You might as well think about it carefully. How did Granny Ma react when she found out that you liked Wang Qi? If her old man urged you to rein in the precipice and turn around, then she might conspire with Brother Xu to frame Wang Qi in order to make you give up on Wang Qi. If not... "

As if thinking that this was impossible, Yan Wu smiled and said, "No parent or elder would agree to such a thing. After all, it is the right way to marry a wife and have children to carry on the family line. What's the matter with a man?" .Looking at it this way, the subordinates are more inclined that Wang Qi did not lie."

Although Yan Wu's words were meaningless, it still made Zhao Jing want to understand something.

Seeing Zhao Jing's frighteningly dark complexion, Yan Wu's heart was startled, and he asked cautiously, "Young Lord, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, go down and rest." Zhao Jing said in a deep voice.

I don't know if it's because I said something wrong that made him look ugly, but after thinking about it, Yan Wu doesn't know where he said something wrong.The atmosphere in the room was really frightening at the moment, Yan Wu didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly saluted and went out.

After Yan Wu left, Zhao Jing looked at the candlelight in front of him, his face became more gloomy.

"Grandma, my grandson is not filial. I'm afraid I won't be able to marry a wife and have children like you hoped for in this life." Teenage Zhao Aman knelt in front of Mrs. Ma and cried, "Grandson likes men. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it in this life." woman."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ma quickly helped him up, and said with tears, "My silly child, this is not your fault, don't feel guilty."

"Grandma, you already know." Seeing that there was no trace of surprise on Madam Ma's face, Zhao Aman said in disbelief that she had already known about this.

Grabbing Zhao Aman's hand, Ma Pozi said with tears: "Actually, Wang Qi told me when I was in Pingyao County. When I gave him the secret recipe back then, besides proving my innocence, I also meant to make amends to him for you. .”

"You handed over the secret recipe to make amends to him for me?" At this moment, Zhao Aman was really shocked.

Without answering the question, Mrs. Ma continued: "Speaking of which, I blame grandma for being bad. If it weren't for grandma's incapability to give you so much love, you wouldn't be so obsessed with Wang Qi because of those little favors. Ah Man, it’s grandma who’s sorry for you.”

"Grandma, don't say that. This makes my grandson even more ashamed." Zhao Aman said hastily.

Before confessing to Mrs. Ma, Zhao Aman thought about all kinds of possibilities upside down, and he had even prepared for the worst. Maybe Mrs. Ma would scold him and force him to turn around by severing ties.But now seeing that Mrs. Ma didn't even blame her at all, and her words were full of deep distress and concern, how could Zhao Aman not be moved?

Mrs. Ma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Grandma watched you grow up after all, how could grandma not know about your temper and temperament?"

"Don't you blame me?" Zhao Aman asked tremblingly.

Mrs. Ma said: "How could grandma have the heart to blame you? Although it was a bit difficult to accept at first, but gradually, grandma also wanted to open it. You will like Wang Qi, probably because he is outstanding in all aspects, and he treats you very well. That's great, you have the idea of ​​admiration and gratitude, so you admire him. Ah Man, grandma watched you grow up and saw you suffer a lot. Whether you like men or women, as long as you live Well, if you are happy every day, even if grandma dies, you can rest in peace."

"Grandma..." Seeing that Mrs. Ma didn't mind her liking for a man at all, and she was always thinking of him, Zhao Aman couldn't use the word "moved" to describe her.

Tightly holding Pozi Ma's hand, Zhao Aman, who has always been strong, cried bitterly for the first time in his life.

The grandfather and grandson hugged their heads and cried for a long time. After they calmed down a little, Mrs. Ma wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Zhao Aman, "Aman, grandma knows that you like Wang Qi, but Wang Qi doesn't like you." You. Besides, you know how he is. For money and profit, what can't he do? It doesn't do you any good to like this kind of person. "

"This... I know." Thinking of what Wang Qi had done, Zhao Aman only felt extremely painful and embarrassed.

Grabbing Zhao Ahman's hand, Granny Ma said tearfully, "Aman, if you really like men, grandma won't force you to mess with other girls. Grandma only hopes that you can find someone with good character who really likes you people, are you successful?"

"Okay, the grandson will listen to grandma." Looking into Mrs. Ma's earnest eyes, Zhao Aman couldn't say no, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

Sure enough, since then, Mrs. Ma has never mentioned the matter of marrying a wife to Zhao Aman again.Even now, he has become the young master of Zhengxihou's Mansion, with a distinguished status and great achievements. The famous ladies who come to marry him even line up from the Hou's Mansion to Yongding Gate, but Mrs. Ma still hasn't mentioned to him about marrying a wife.

"Grandma is all about me, and she doesn't care whether I like a man or a woman. If that's the case, she didn't need to slander Wang Qi at the beginning, and she had no reason to cooperate with others to frame Wang Qi." Pushing open the door of the golden house, revealed Crossing the curtain and staring at Wang Qi lying on the bed, Zhao Jing's eyes were dim.

Thinking of Wang Qi pouring dirty water on Xu Baichuan and Mrs. Ma in order to get rid of the mistakes he made back then, Zhao Jing was furious, wishing to shake them awake immediately and ask him if he had any intentions.The soft-heartedness and compromise she had felt towards Wang Qi after seeing him disappeared in Wang Qi's mouthful of lies.

But Zhao Jing didn't move Wang Qi, he just looked at him silently, clenched his fists faintly, his bones creaked.

"Who is it?" Wang Qi, who was already in a light sleep, was awakened immediately when she heard the movement beside her.

Seeing that Wang Qi woke up, although his heart was full of anger, Zhao Jing still suppressed the urge to strangle him to death, and decided to make a long-term plan.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

I have to say that Mrs. Ma's trick is quite clever.She neither persecuted nor blamed, and Zhao Amman's heart, which was trying to fight with all its strength, was caught off guard on a ball of cotton. She was also grateful for her understanding and generosity, which gave her an emotional advantage.Then Mrs. Ma chose to retire bravely when Zhao Aman's career was on the rise. After Zhao Aman became famous, the candidate for granddaughter-in-law was naturally raised to a higher level.It would be even better if Zhao Aman forgot about Wang Qi by the way.If Zhao Aman hadn't been too determined, Mrs. Ma would have achieved her goal long ago.
