Chapter 109 Finally Seeing Wang Zhang’s Shocking News
In this prosperous capital of the Han Dynasty, right in front of Xie Xin, there appeared a guy that Xie Xin had been looking for but could not find.
Wang Zhang? Why did he appear here?!
Xie Xin was very surprised, because according to Wang Rong, Wang Zhang was probably very afraid that Emperor Ling would settle the score with him, so he ran as far as he could and found an unknown small place to live in seclusion.
Is it really okay to appear in Luoyang in such a grand place?!
Or is this the so-called ‘big hermit hidden in the city’? Or ‘the most dangerous place is also the safest place’?
I feel like this is underestimating the imperial court’s intelligence system?!
Okay, Xie Xin admits that Emperor Ling has just ascended the throne, and the intelligence system may not be established for a while.
However, looking at Wang Zhang’s appearance, it doesn’t look like he is living in seclusion!
The few soldiers around him were obviously members of the Imperial Guard, but they seemed to be protecting him instead of arresting him.
And around him, there were four or five people who looked like officials. Judging from their expressions, they looked completely flattering.
If Wang Zhang is in danger, why is he so arrogant?!
Among them, there must be something weird!
Having made up his mind, Xie Xin rushed over.
"Mr. Wang, you are well!" Xie Xin came to Wang Zhang and bowed respectfully.
"Oh? It's Teacher Xie. Long time no see. How are you?" Wang Zhang saw the letter of thanks and returned the favor with a smile.
At this moment, he looked as fresh as a spring breeze, without any trace of decadence.
"Uncle Guo, who is this..." a man who looked like an official asked aloud.
"Dr. Dong, this is Xie Xin, a disciple of Li Yingchuan, who is quite famous in contemporary times." Wang Zhang replied with a smile.
"It turns out it's Brother Xie. This is Dong Cheng, the current doctor, meeting him for the first time!" Upon hearing this, Dong Cheng immediately turned around and saluted Xie Xin.
Dong Cheng?! The nephew of Empress Dowager Dong and later the father-in-law of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty!?
Unexpectedly, he has already become an official and has become a doctor. Although his status is lower, he looks like he is in his twenties, and there is still a lot of room for advancement.
But, what did he just say?
The uncle of the state?! Wang Zhang is the uncle of the state?!
Isn't his daughter Wang Rong with me? And judging from their familiar looks, I'm afraid he has been the uncle of the country for a while. In this case, could someone enter the palace instead of Wang Rong?!
"Good nephew?!" Wang Zhang saw Xie Xin standing there blankly and reminded him specifically.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I just heard what Brother Dong said, and I couldn't help but think of something, and I was a little lost in thought for a moment." Xie Xin came back to his senses immediately, and casually made a fuss.
"Oh? What is it that can make Brother Xie so obsessed?!" Dong Cheng immediately became interested.
And several people around were obviously very interested in this.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that Empress Dowager Dong's nephew is also called Dong Cheng. So I can't help but think..." Xie Xin said halfway and glanced at Dong Cheng's body.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Brother Xie doesn't live in Luoyang, but he is very familiar with things in Luoyang." Wang Zhang couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
"Brother Xie really has a good eye. He is the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong!" Dong Cheng admitted on his own initiative.
"Haha, actually I heard the teacher say that among the younger generation, among the people he likes, your name is among them, so I naturally took a note of it." Xie Xin said with a smile as he held his hand.
"Oh? I can actually enter your master's eyes?!" Dong Cheng immediately became interested.
After all, with Li Ying's connections, I believe that as long as this news gets out, he will be able to obtain as much political capital as possible through various channels, and then be promoted quickly.
"Of course it's true!" Xie Xin sold out his teacher without any courtesy.
"By the way, my nephew came to Luoyang this time for a competition?!" Wang Zhang asked at the right time.
"Exactly, I received a message from my tutor not long ago, so I came over to help." Xie Xin replied with a wry smile.
"This is interesting. Why don't we find a place to chat while drinking?!" Dong Cheng immediately suggested.
Let’s not talk about what happened to Li Ying after Xie Xin’s death. Let’s talk about Xie Xin himself, who also has quite a reputation in the contemporary world.
First, he wrote the "Trilogy of Enlightenment" so that Han schoolchildren could gain better enlightenment; then he invented Xie's numbers and the abacus, which relieved craftsmen, accountants and even quartermasters all over the world.
These two achievements alone are enough for him to go down in history.
"Dr. Dong, we still need to worry about the competition..." a clerk said with a wry smile.
"Oh! I forgot about it! So, if you have time next time, how about a drink with Brother Xie?" Dong Cheng slapped his forehead and said to Xie Xin with a smile.
"Definitely, definitely!" Xie Xin was too lazy to get along with him any longer, so he just dealt with it casually.
After being polite, Dong Cheng left with a few petty officials.
From then on, Xie Xin also found out that they and Wang Zhang had met by chance on the street and chatted together because they were traveling the same way.
"Uncle Wang Guo, I have something to talk to uncle Guo in private. Is it convenient?" Seeing that Dong Cheng and others had left, Xie Xin turned to Wang Zhang and asked.
"I just want to talk to you, but you don't need to be so polite. If you are happy, just call me 'uncle'; if not, just call me 'Dianzhang'." Wang Zhang
replied with a smile.
After being polite, Wang Zhang came to his home with a letter of thanks.
On the door of the huge house were hung the four characters "Uncle Wang Guo". And in terms of specifications, the whole house was indeed magnificent.
When they arrived at the side hall, Wang Zhang's servants brought the pastries and tea and then waved them away.
"My dear nephew, if you have anything to say now, you can say it with peace of mind!" Wang Zhang said with a smile.
"So, my nephew is offended!" Xie Xin let out a breath and calmed down his mood, "Dare I ask my uncle if my daughter's whereabouts have been found?!"
boom!!
Wang Zhang's mind seemed to be struck by thunder, and he was immediately stunned.
After a while, he stood up excitedly and asked in a low voice: "What did my nephew hear?!"
Seeing how excited and nervous he looked, Xie Xin almost told him.
But he suddenly discovered a strange expression, that was murderous intent!
He wanted to kill his biological daughter? Why?!
"I didn't know, but when I returned to Xuchang and visited Chen's School again, someone there said that my daughter was missing. Of course, judging from their tone, I'm afraid it was just rumors?!" Xie Xin said with a smile.
arrive.
"That's it..." Upon hearing this, Wang Zhang sat back directly.
His expression at this moment was one of loss and helplessness, but also a look of relief.
"You might as well tell your nephew that my daughter was indeed missing for a while, but she was finally found. In fact, my daughter has been engaged to His Majesty since she was a child. Now that the agreed period has come, it is natural to fulfill the engagement and send her to the palace.
Come on." Wang Zhang picked up the tea and took a sip casually.
Although he seemed to be pretending that everything was normal at this moment, Xie Xin was still vaguely aware of the panic expression on the other party's face.
He is lying! And at this moment, he is very worried that I will find out that he is lying!!
"My daughter and I are also quite destined. Although the impression she left was not very good, her innocent and lively appearance is indeed very lovable.
I thought that if she disappeared, I had been worried about it for a while. Now that I know that she is safe and sound, I feel as if I am relieved." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Haha, this little girl just likes to cause trouble for me. It's just that her mother died early and I don't have time to take care of her. If her maid Xiaomei hadn't been by her side like a sister, I'm afraid her character would have changed.
You have to be even more perverse." Wang Zhang couldn't help but said with a wry smile after hearing this.
"I see. Speaking of which, how is that maid Xiaomei? Did she accompany your daughter to join the palace?" Xie Xin keenly discovered a flaw in his words.
"She..." Wang Zhang was a little panicked, but quickly regained his composure, "She is also a pitiful person. After the little girl disappeared, she got a serious illness, and she couldn't hold on and died like this..."
it is as expected!
Xie Xin smiled and did not discuss this topic further.
After the two exchanged polite greetings, Xie Xin walked out of the uncle's house.
But he secretly thought: Using Xiaomei to pretend to be Wang Rong is indeed a good idea!
I have to say that history is really scary! It has obviously changed history, but it will soon repair it through other means.
After sighing with emotion, Xie Xin returned directly to the camp.
What he is most urgent about now is to give Wang Rong plastic surgery as soon as possible, otherwise Wang Zhang, with his ruthless demeanor before, will find someone to kill Wang Rong in order to ensure his wealth and life.
