On the carriage returning to the palace, Qin Lingjun saw Zhang Yangquan's brows tightening and relaxing, and couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter? Didn't you have a pleasant conversation with Zhu Yuanzhang just now?"
Zhang Yangquan sighed and said: "How could it be? I just can't make up my mind about something!"
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Yangquan turned to look at Qin Lingjun and said, "Madam, you are good at observing people. Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang can be reused?"
Qin Lingjun was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "Are you worried about this?"
Zhang Yangquan nodded.
Qin Lingjun put away her smile and said seriously: "When you surrendered Zhao Desheng, and later Li Er, you even kept people like Polo Buhua, so why are you only worried about Zhu Yuanzhang?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Zhu Yuanzhang is different from them."
Qin Lingjun said: "What's the difference?"
Zhang Yangquan pondered for a long time and didn't know how to explain it.
Qin Lingjun thought for a while and said seriously: "Husband, in my opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a cunning and unjust person. Besides, he surrendered in defeat. No matter how powerful he is, he will never pose any threat to you!"<
/p>
Zhang Yangquan nodded. In fact, he understood this, but he always had some psychological barriers due to the influence of history.
He took a deep breath and said: "You are right, I think too much. Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability to lead troops, so let him also participate in next year's Western Expedition!"
Early the next morning, Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun had breakfast and then went to the zoo together.
"Little sister, Qianqian, are you really not going?" Zhang Yangquan asked.
Qin Lingsi blinked and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you two go ahead. Sister Qianqian and I will go to the racecourse to select a dozen good horses as prizes for your Cuju competition!"
Qin Lingjun frowned and said, "Aren't there many good horses in the manger? Why go to the racecourse to choose?"
Qin Lingsi stamped her feet and said: "No! Those are my mounts!"
Qin Lingjun said angrily: "Do you need so many mounts by yourself?"
Qin Ling thought and said: "I ride every horse. In short, you are not allowed to have any ideas about them!" Before Qin Lingjun could say anything else, she pulled Shen Qianqian and left quickly.
Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun had no choice but to go alone.
Since there were only two of them, they simply put on makeup and dressed in plain clothes. Qin Lingjun dressed up as a man and Zhang Yangquan put on a fake beard.
The two of them walked all the way to Guanxi Street, where the zoo is located, and saw that outside the door of a house, there were already crowds of people.
This mansion is the zoo that is about to open. The plaque is covered with red silk, the door is painted, and two red ribbons are hung at the door.
The crowd was noisy and talking among themselves.
"Damn it, I never thought we would have the opportunity to see rare and exotic animals!"
"I heard it was a tribute from other countries!"
"Hey, how much are the tickets? Do you know?"
"I heard it's half a penny!"
"Is it so expensive? Let's not go in. Let's listen to the sound outside."
"It's not expensive. I can take my baby in for a visit once a month."
"Huh, Wang Laosan, do you think everyone works in the Ordnance Bureau like you?"
"Shit! Everyone's harvest is good this year, so you can't even get half a penny out, right?"
"That being said, food prices have also dropped a lot. I still have to save money for my child to go to school. Why spend money to see them if they're just wild beasts?"
"That's right! Why spend this wasted money!"
"Hmph, whatever you want, I want to go in and take a look anyway!"
"By the way, I heard from people who live nearby that you can hear a strange roaring sound at night. It's so scary that the dogs squat on the ground and don't dare to move!"
"Haha, that's the sound of a lion. I once heard someone mention it in Wenzhou. That thing is so big, its head is like a waterwheel, and big insects are not as fierce as it!"
"Fart! You kid must have never heard the cry of a big insect. A lion is just a big dog, how can it compare with a big insect?"
"Huh! You'll know later when you hear it!"
Qin Lingjun heard the conversation, gently touched Zhang Yangquan with her elbow, and whispered: "Husband, which one do you think is more powerful, a lion or a tiger?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Of course tigers, especially tigresses, are the most ferocious!"
Qin Lingjun stretched out her elbow and was about to give him a slap. Then she thought, if she hit him, wouldn't she be complying with his words? She glanced at him and turned towards a teahouse opposite.
Zhang Yangquan followed him with a smile, and they went up to the second floor together.
As soon as Zhang Yangquan came out of the stairs, he saw Qin Lingjun standing motionless at the stairs and almost hit her in the back.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Qin Lingjun pointed to a table by the window on the second floor, and saw several big men in black surrounding a man at the table.
"Husband, the man who was surrounded seems familiar to me, but I don't remember where I saw him!" Qin Lingjun said in a low voice.
Zhang Yangquan was stunned and looked towards the surrounded man.
I saw that the man was about forty years old, short in stature, with some small white spots on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Brother Tao, what do you want to do?" the white-spotted man suddenly asked.
Standing in front of his desk was a fat man wearing a green robe.
The fat man in green robe is also in his forties. Although he is fat, he has no flesh on his face. His eyes are big and bright, like two big lanterns.
"Go out and talk!" he said solemnly.
The white-spotted man hummed: "I'm not going anywhere!"
The fat man in green robe said coldly: "My boss already knows everything. You should know what will happen if you make my boss angry!"
The white-spotted man's face changed slightly and said, "Then I won't go with you!"
The fat man in green robe waved his hand, and several men in black grabbed the white-spotted man and tried to drag him out.
The white-spotted man struggled and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? Do you want to commit murder in broad daylight?"
With this shout, the guests on the second floor all looked towards them.
A shop assistant walked over and asked the fat man in green robe: "What do you want to do?"
The fat man in green robe took out a silver coin and handed it to the clerk.
"He owes me money, I'll ask him to go out and solve the problem!"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, then finally took the money and got out of the way.
A customer in the building suddenly stood up and shouted to the fat man in green robe: "This is Jiangdu Prefecture, in broad daylight, who dares to do anything wrong here!"
The fat man in green robe glanced at the man and said coldly: "Brother, I advise you not to mind your own business!"
The customer said "Hey", rubbed his sleeves, and said with a smile: "I like to be nosy. If you dare to take him away, I will report it to the official!"
The fat man in green robe glanced at the man with white spots and said, "Brother Kang, he said he wanted to report to the official. What did you say?"
The white-spotted man gritted his teeth and suddenly yelled at the customer: "I owe him money, so you don't need to meddle in his own business!"
Not only was the customer stunned by this change, Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun were also stunned.
The customer sighed, said "bad luck", and sat back in his chair.
Seeing that the white-spotted man was about to be taken away, Zhang Yangquan whispered: "Madam, do you remember who that person is?"
Qin Lingjun frowned and said in a low voice: "I seem to have seen this person in the military camp."
At this time, the other party had already arrived at the stairs. Zhang Yangquan didn't have time to think too much and reached out to stop them.
The fat man in green robe said solemnly: "Do you want to mind your own business too?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "The brother just said it well, this is Jiangdu Prefecture, and you are not allowed to do whatever you want!"
The fat man in green robe said coldly: "Didn't you hear just now? This is our own business and has nothing to do with anyone else, right, Brother Kang!"
The white-spotted man gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, this is our own business, please stop meddling in our own business!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "I don't care whose fault it is, since someone dares to kidnap someone in front of me, I will report it to the official!"
The man in green robe said angrily: "I told you it wasn't kidnapping. He defrauded me of money. Let's discuss repaying the money. Why are you meddling in this business?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "Sorry, I just like to be nosy!"
The fat man in green robe was furious and stared at Zhang Yangquan coldly.
However, no matter how threatening his eyes were, Zhang Yangquan remained unaffected and stood there calmly, with a faint sense of majesty.
The fat man in green robe realized that the person in front of him might have some background, so he didn't dare to force himself, and said in a deep voice: "Then if he comes with us voluntarily, that's okay!"
Zhang Yangquan looked at the white-spotted man and said calmly: "Are you willing to go with them?"
The white-spotted man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "I'm having a good time drinking tea here, why should I go with them!"
Zhang Yangquan smiled secretly.
He had already seen that the white-spotted man did not want to go with him, but he seemed to be more afraid of reporting to the police, so he did not let the man just intervene.
The fat man in green robe stared at the man with white spots and said, "Brother Kang, don't force me!"
Zhang Yangquan interrupted: "Hey, are you threatening him?"
The fat man in green robe clenched his fists and said sternly: "What do you want?"
Zhang Yangquan laughed and said: "I am just an ordinary person who sees injustice on the road, what else can I do? But if you want to do something illegal, I will report it to the official, it's that simple!"
The customer just slapped the table and laughed: "Well said!"
The fat man in green robe turned to glare at the white-spotted man and said, "Do you really want him to report to the police?"
The white-spotted man spread his hands and said, "Brother Tao, you can't blame me. He insists on reporting to the government, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
The fat man in green robe was angry and anxious. He stamped his feet. After all, he still didn't dare to mess around and left with others.
