After the crowd dispersed and Chu Lan and Zhang Qingjiu disappeared, Feng Zhi instantly put away the curiosity and hesitation in his eyes, replaced by an unprecedented indifference.
Just now, Zhang Qingjiu fell hastily, attracting everyone's attention. No one saw why she was suddenly pushed, let alone noticed that someone took the opportunity to escape.
but……
With a sneer on his lips, Feng Zhi stood up and walked towards the back garden on the other side.
When General Wei was still alive, because his wife and children liked to eat fresh fruits, he specially ordered an orchard to be planted next to the back garden.
The Wei Mansion has not been full for many years, but it has been well taken care of by the servants. The fruit trees in the back garden are naturally lush and lush. The sunlight falling from above is actually covered by layers. When it falls to the ground, only
Light and sparse shadows.
Even in this hot weather, it seemed extraordinarily quiet when we walked in.
Just...if only there was only the sound of cicadas chirping.
In the forest, a person wearing a maid's costume was being pushed to the ground by several people and was struggling like an unwilling trapped animal.
Slowly walking to the person and stopping in front of him, Feng Zhi glanced at the person holding her down and snorted coldly, "As expected by His Highness the Crown Prince, now that the Wei Mansion is being rebuilt and purchasing servants, there will definitely be some servants.
Unscrupulous people will take this opportunity to cause trouble."
Hearing what he said, the suppressed man dressed as a slave immediately raised his head, and although his mouth was gagged with a cloth, he still let out bursts of roaring sounds from his throat, as if he had something urgent to say.
Looking at this familiar face, Feng Zhi raised his brows and smiled, "Hey, this servant looks so familiar. He looks a bit like the former Prime Minister. Tsk... If this is the case between Master Xiao Zhang and Shao
How can I do it after seeing Princess Qing..."
After saying that, Feng Zhi turned his head and ordered behind him: "Go and invite His Highness Prince Jing, and tell him that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to give him a big gift. Remember not to alarm Princess Shaoqing."
The attendant followed the order and left. Feng Zhi looked at the man who was still struggling on the ground, with a hint of sneer and ridicule at the corner of his mouth, snorted lightly, and turned his back.
After a while, he saw Chu Xun being brought over by the attendant. As soon as Feng Zhi saw him, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I have met His Highness Prince Jing."
Chu Xun raised his eyebrows, "Is it you? Where is your highness? Didn't you say that you want to give me a big gift? Where is he? Where is the gift?"
This was the time when there were the most guests, and he wished he could stay with Chu Feng all the time to share her worries. If he hadn't seen the attendant speaking with a serious face, he wouldn't have thought anything of it.
Seeing Chu Xun's expression of wanting to go back immediately, Feng Zhi immediately said, "A thief was just discovered in the mansion, trying to kill Mr. Xiao Zhang..."
"What did you say? Is she injured? Has the thief been caught?" Chu Xun was startled, his face changed, "Is there anything wrong with the prince?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Jing. Both Your Highness and Mr. Xiao Zhang are fine." Feng Zhi shook his head, "The thief has also been caught and is waiting for His Highness Prince Jing to be punished."
"Since everyone is fine, if such a thing is done in the Wei Mansion, why don't the girl and your Highness deal with it? Why are you calling me over in such a hurry? And you are giving gifts..." Chu Xun was almost angry.
He was so happy that he couldn't help but glared at Feng Zhi. God knows what he just said made his heart reach his throat.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to invite His Highness Prince Jing to come over. He said that this thief should be handed over to His Highness Prince Jing for disposal. I should just... thank you for your help on the night of the banquet." Feng Zhi narrowed his eyes and said again.
He bowed, and then slowly stepped aside.
"Come on, your Highness may not have any good intentions now..." Chu Xun waved his hand and glanced at Feng Zhi, but stopped suddenly when the figure behind him appeared.
Although the man was wearing the clothes of a slave, his figure was tall and upright, as if he was a man in disguise.
The eyes that were originally calm and calm suddenly became turbulent.
"Is it you?" Chu Xun stepped forward quickly, grabbed the struggling man on the ground, and almost gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Tailiu, you actually dare to come? What do you want to do?"
"Woooooooo..." When the man saw Chu Xun, his eyes were full of anger and fear. Who else could it be if he wasn't Zhang Tailiu?
Remembering that Feng Zhi had just said that Zhang Tailiu was trying to murder Zhang Qingjiu, Chu Xun's face turned even more livid, and his knuckles turned white when he pinched them. If he had grabbed this man's neck instead of his collar, just
Zhang Tailiu is now breathing out more and taking in less air.
After the matter was done, Feng Zhi stopped delaying and asked Chu, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already removed this person's official position. Logically speaking, he should not appear in the capital again. I will have him removed."
When it is sent to His Highness's residence, how it should be handled depends entirely on His Highness's will."
Feng Zhi smiled slightly and waved his hand.
The servants who seemed weak just now nodded immediately, and quickly put the wide-eyed man on the ground into a sack. After a few heavings, he disappeared from the eyes of the two of them.
Chu Xun was stunned for a moment, "They are..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Wei Mansion was recruiting people for the first time. I thought about hiring people, but I was worried that there would be a mix of fish and dragons, so I asked my subordinates to arrange a few people to protect the safety of the Wei Mansion." Feng Zhi answered calmly.
Looking at the five, six or seven or eight "servants of the Wei Mansion" behind him who were pretending not to see but did not leave, Chu Xun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "How many do you call these...
?”
"Your Highness, after all, Mr. Xiao Zhang is a minister of humiliation." Feng Zhi smiled.
Chu Xun glared at him, "Come on, what is he thinking, what do you look like, how can you pretend to be serious in front of me?"
Feng Zhi: "..."
What should I be like? Why am I not serious?
"But for today's matter, I accept this love." Glancing towards the place where the few people left just now, Chu Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he waved his hand, "Go and take care of your Highness."
"Yes, I am resigning."
When Feng Zhi finished his salute and was about to turn around and leave, Chu Xun suddenly seemed to remember something, "Wait a minute."
"What other instructions does Your Highness have?" Feng Zhi turned around, his eyes a little wary.
"That girl has a clear mind. Are you really sure she doesn't know about this?" Chu Xun said, raising his eyebrows at the servants, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
Feng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his heart that had been calm was suddenly suspended. The corners of his mouth trembled a few times, "It must be... I don't know."
Since these people have been sent here for so many days and there is still no movement, they must not know about it, right?
Moreover...they were indeed selected before entering the Wei Mansion, right?
The person whom Feng Zhi didn't know, and who he thought was the person who didn't know anything at the moment, was smiling and bringing his master along to the gate of Jianjiayuan without any hindrance, and stopped.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Turning to look at Chu Lan, whose clothes had been neatly arranged by him at some point, Zhang Qingjiu smiled slightly, "This is Wei Chen's courtyard, do you want to go in and sit down?"
Chu Lan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fell on her calmly, without speaking.
"But before we go in, Wei Chen has something to say to His Highness." Zhang Qingjiu took two steps forward, "There will no longer be people like Murong Chunlai in Wei Chen's courtyard, so the people arranged by His Highness... don't have to
It's very good to stay around Wei Chen's courtyard every day, just like he did just now, to catch those who are ungrateful."
After saying that, Zhang Qingjiu took a step back and blinked: "Your Highness, please."
