Master of Rebirth

As soon as Wang Qi left the door of the back hall, Wang Qi came running out of breath.

"Why have you been there for so long? Did you eat badly?" Wang Qi asked with a smile.

Wang Sheng gasped for breath, then pulled Wang Qi to a corner, and said, "When I was in the latrine, I overheard a piece of news."

"What news made you so anxious?" Wang Qi asked.

"The little one came out of the hut and passed by the rockery in the garden, and heard someone talking inside. The little one was curious, so he hid nearby and eavesdropped. It turned out that the book the thief left behind was true. Before the Li family was stolen, the grandfather I did receive a letter that said, "The Li family was stolen at midnight tonight." Unfortunately, the grandfather didn't take it seriously, and the Li family was stolen that night. The night before the Wu family was stolen, the grandfather also received the same letter. As a result, the Wu family was also burglarized that night." Wang Sheng's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Master, you said this is not mysterious, this thief is really a genius."

Seeing Wang Sheng's gossiping face, Wang Qi smiled and said, "Who did you listen to?"

Seeing that Wang Qi didn't seem to believe it, Wang Sheng hurriedly said, "Master Zhu from the county government told Mr. Shi himself. They hid behind the rockery and were seen by the younger ones. Mr. Shi also has some property, probably Afraid of being caught by thieves, I came to Master Zhu to inquire about the situation."

"Then this thief is indeed quite arrogant." Wang Qi had no interest in the matter of the thief, but saw that Wang Sheng was excited, and didn't want to pour cold water on him, so she could only say: "Let's go back first, we'll talk about it when we go back."

At this time, a mournful cry suddenly came from the mourning hall, it seemed that another friend who had made good friends with Zhang Yunlin came to attend the funeral.Thinking of the deceased, Wang Qi felt a surge of sadness again.

Xu Baichuan looked at the elegiac couplet and the white gauze in front of Zhang's mansion, and couldn't help frowning.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to pass away. Brother, what should we do now?" Huang Xing who was beside him asked.

"Let me think of a way." Xu Baichuan said in a low voice, "What happened to Zhao Ah?"

"Following your instructions, I dropped some silver at a place he often passed by, and watched him pick it up before leaving. The silver was enough for them to live for a while." Huang Xing couldn't help sighing: " That kid is really, he can't open the pot at home, and he even gave half of the money to the girl who sells wonton stew."

Unexpectedly, this child was as kind as his mother.Recalling the past, Xu Baichuan had a rare tenderness on his face, "Is Zhao Aman still helping at that wonton stew stall?"

Huang Xingdao: "That girl's elder brother came and drove him away. These days, Zhao Ah has been looking for errands everywhere, but Mr. Liu from the Jishi Medical Center is kind enough to take him in for the time being. My younger brother quietly went over to see, His work is all light work, helping to get a medicine or something, so I won’t be tired.”

Hearing this, Xu Baichuan was temporarily relieved.

Huang Xing said: "Brother, don't worry, the hooligans who bullied Zhao Aman have been taught a lesson by my younger brother. They may even have trouble walking in the future, and they will definitely not trouble him."

Xu Baichuan shook his head: "I just didn't see him at a glance, so he was beaten up. If I didn't happen to meet someone to help Zhou Quan, I don't know how it would have ended. Zhao Ah, this kid has a strong temper, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes." , and her mother... hey..."

Huang Xing never understood why Xu Baichuan suddenly took such good care of this child he met by chance, but he only knew that there must be some origin behind it.Seeing Xu Baichuan take the initiative to mention Zhao Aman's mother now, Huang Xing hastily pricked up a pair of dog ears, wondering if he could hear about his elder brother's previous affair.

It's a pity that Xu Baichuan stopped talking, and instead said: "Zhao Aman has already had a fight with that Jia Fugui, as long as he doesn't like him, there will definitely be conflicts. With Jia Fugui around, he is always a threat to Ah Man .It is impossible for us to stay here for protection all the time, we must think of a solution once and for all.”

Smelling a hint of danger from Xu Baichuan's words, and realizing that he was going to kill someone because of this child, Huang Xing was even more convinced that Zhao Aman was Xu Baichuan's illegitimate son, and quickly said: "It's a coincidence, my brother just came here When I was in Pingyao County, I accidentally ran into some dirty things about Jia Fugui, but I needed the cooperation of the local government."

Huang Xing whispered in Xu Baichuan's ear, and roughly explained the whole story.

Xu Baichuan frowned, "There is such a thing."

"It's a pity." Huang Xing lamented, "I was busy at the time, but I thought they were acting sneaky, so I didn't go into it. A few days later, I happened to pass by that well, and only then did I discover what's in it... Sigh, if it wasn't for my little brother If you make a public announcement, those children don't know how long they will be soaked, and it is not an exaggeration to cut that Jia Fugui into pieces."

The murderous intent in Xu Baichuan's eyes was even worse, and he said slowly: "I saved Master Zhu's life here a few years ago, and he can handle this matter."

"It's better to have people from the government come forward." Huang Xing saw that Xu Baichuan was still staring at Zhang's mansion with a serious expression, and couldn't help saying: "Brother, although the medical center is not as good as Zhang's mansion, it is still a decent place anyway. You won’t be hungry there, what else do you worry about?”

Xu Baichuan shook his head and said: "Ah Man will be a person who will do great things in the future, and he can't just take care of food and clothing. The reason why I want to entrust him to Mr. Zhang is to let Mr. Zhang teach him to read and write, so that he will not be humiliated in the future. "

"I have humiliated my identity? What identity?" Seeing Xu Baichuan's serious words, he cared about his master rather than his child. No matter how small Huang Xing was, he finally couldn't hold back his curiosity. After struggling for a while, I still asked: "Brother, why are you so concerned about hiding things from Zhao A? What is your relationship with him?"

"It's not the kind of relationship you think. I can only tell you that his mother is kind to me." Xu Baichuan looked at Huang Xing and said, "It's a brother, so don't ask too much. When the time comes, I will tell you everything."

Xu Baichuan had a rough life experience, and he came to where he is today after nine deaths.Huang Xing has known him for several years, so he naturally knows his sufferings when he was young, and also knows that he has a temperament of repaying kindness.

Huang Xing hurriedly patted his chest and said: "The benefactor of the elder brother is the benefactor of the younger brother. Don't worry, the elder brother, the younger brother will keep his mouth shut."

After patting Huang Xing on the shoulder, Xu Baichuan turned his gaze back to the Zhang residence.

Huang Xing knew that he was troubled in his heart, so he could only say: "According to the friendship between Master Zhang and elder brother, he will definitely teach Zhao A to conceal it carefully. But now that Master Zhang has passed away, the rest of the Zhang family may not be able to rely on it. We might as well send He took it back to the capital."

Seeing the people coming and going in Zhang's residence, Xu Baichuan sighed: "You and I are traveling around all year round, living in no fixed place, so it's not suitable to bring children. Besides, it's not suitable for him to return to the capital now. Let me think about it again."

"Then would you like to go in and see Master Zhang off?" Seeing that Xu Baichuan was about to leave, Huang Xing asked tentatively.

Xu Baichuan shook his head, and said: "Forget it, the Zhang family has been in Beijing before, and I'm afraid that someone will recognize me, and there will be trouble, so let's go."

The two were about to leave when Xu Baichuan caught a glimpse of a person out of the corner of his eye, stopped immediately, pointed at that person and asked, "Who is that person?"

Huang Xing followed his gaze and happened to see Wang Qi walking out of Zhang's house.

"His name is Wang Qi, and he is the eldest son of the Wang family, the richest man in Pingyao County. I heard that he is a famous talent, and Mr. Zhang likes it very much. It is a pity that he is a businessman, has no qualifications for scientific examinations, and is cowardly. Unwelcome."

After coming to Pingyao County, Huang Xing had already found out all the people in the county who were related to officials, so he naturally knew something about Wang Qi.

Seeing Xu Baichuan asking about Wang Qi, Huang Xing said curiously: "Brother, this Wang Qi's third uncle, Wang Yao, is an official in the capital, and he is also the son-in-law of Prime Minister Fang Tingyu. Do you think there is something wrong with him, or do you think Wang Yao is wrong?" has a problem?"

Xu Baichuan shook his head, and said: "Although Fang Tingyu is an official, one person is under one man and over ten thousand people, but he has only flourished in the past few years, and has nothing to do with what happened back then. As for that Wang Yao is even more insignificant."

"Since that's the case, why are you?" Huang Xing asked suspiciously.

Xu Baichuan looked at Wang Qi in the distance and said: "A few days ago, Ah Man was beaten on the street, fortunately he met him. Not only did he drive those people away, he also gave Ah Man money to buy medicine. This Wang Qi looks like He is kind, since he is a talented scholar in Pingyao County, he must be well educated."

Finally understanding what Xu Baichuan was planning, Huang Xing disagreed and said, "Brother, you don't want this Wang Qi to take care of Ah Man, do you? The Wang family has no place to speak at all. Recently, there have been many rumors about him in the county, saying that he is not filial. Although the rumors may not be believed, it is really useless to live like this."

Xu Baichuan shook his head: "I hate cowardly men the most by nature. Even if I have a good heart, I can only be a good man. If a man can't even protect himself, how can he be expected to take care of others?"

"That's right." Huang Xing said.

Watching Wang Qi board the carriage from afar, Xu Baichuan said, "Let's go."

The sky was gloomy, and the cries from Zhang's mansion remained the same.

After Zhang Yunlin's death, the rumors about Wang Qi became more and more serious in Pingyao County, but Wang Qi didn't mind about it, as long as no one asked his face, he couldn't control what others wanted to say behind their backs.

"Master, how can you bear this tone?" Wang Sheng couldn't help but feel wronged for Wang Qi, "The old lady and the second young master clearly did it on purpose to ruin your reputation outside. You don't go out to help Say something fair to yourself."

Wang Qi turned a page of the book, and said calmly: "Rumours never end with wise men, but with another rumor. The more you explain this kind of thing, the more it will become chaotic. If you don't take it seriously, it won't be long before, instead It will calm down on its own."

Knowing that what Wang Qi said was reasonable, Wang Sheng just couldn't hold back his breath, "Young master is not as tolerant as the young master. Look at how the second young master looks at you today, your mouth is almost grinning to the back of your head."

"If you want to laugh, let him laugh. The winner is the one who can laugh until the end." Wang Qi took a piece of jujube cake from the plate and put it in his mouth, saying: "The limelight is not very good recently, so you should go out less, so as to save the pressure." I couldn't hold back my anger, and suffered a lot outside. The other people in Dongyuan should also restrain themselves and tell them to pay more attention to what they say, after all, there are still two eyeliners watching there."

"I know." Seeing that the tea in Wang Qi's cup was gone, Wang Sheng rushed to make tea.
