Chapter 467 I only owe the east wind
Sheng Zhixing took a sip of tea and sighed, "Zhao Ping Hou was wrongly convicted of treason and embezzlement of military pay. What a pity, what a pity. Zhao Ping Hou's family is full of loyal people, but they ended up like this~"
Zhang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Although the master usually likes to brag, when he can say such things when analyzing a case, it usually means he has strong evidence.
Zhang Yuan suddenly became uneasy, "Master, don't tell anyone about this, otherwise you will get yourself killed!"
How could someone as perceptive as him not notice something strange about this case?
But who dares to check?
"So I have to keep this to myself? And keep it in the ground?"
Sheng Zhixing gave him a deep look and said, "If the injustice is not solved and the truth is not revealed, do you think I can sleep well? Marquis Zhaoping and his son guarded the border and put down the rebellion, but they were wrongly killed on a deserted island. How can you sleep well?"
Zhang Yuan was stumped by Sheng Zhixing's question.
He was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Master, this matter needs to be carefully considered. You must not just tell it out loud. If you do, not only will we not be able to clear the name of Zhaoping Marquis Mansion, but you and I will both die without a burial place."
After giving a few more instructions, Zhang Yuan was about to leave, and he looked absent-minded when he left.
He turned around and walked a few steps. Sheng Zhixing suddenly said leisurely behind him: "By the way, be careful of your boss, the Dali Temple Minister."
Zhang Yuan's body froze when he heard this, and he didn't even know how he got out of the yard.
Sheng Zhixing watched Zhang Yuan's back as he left and took a sip of tea slowly. It would depend on his vision in choosing an apprentice.
He stood up from the worn wooden stool, then walked to the small kitchen, took down the straw raincoat hanging on the wall opposite the stove, pressed a certain place, and a secret door slowly opened and appeared before him.
Sheng Zhixing stepped into the secret door and it closed automatically.
He passed through the winding secret passage and came to another door.
I gently pressed the mechanism on the door, and the light from outside came in, and the view in front of me suddenly became clear.
A courtyard like a paradise is right in front of Sheng Zhixing. There are rugged rocks and the sound of gurgling water between the rocks is clear and pleasant.
Sheng Zhixing walked along the path among the flowers, and an exquisite pavilion appeared before him, with flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and an antique style.
He Lin and Hou Xiaoxiao were sitting on the stone table and stone bench in the pavilion playing chess, but the Mixue Bingcheng milk tea cups in their hands really distracted from the scene.
Seeing Sheng Zhixing coming, He Lin showed joy and quickly invited Sheng Zhixing to come and sit down.
"Lao Sheng, Lao Sheng, come quickly, the three of us will play Landlord together!"
He Lin was being beaten to a pulp by Hou Xiaoxiao. He lost this round and would have to pay Hou Xiaoxiao for the shop he owned. Sheng Zhixing came at the right time and he had the chance to default on his debt!
"Go, a refined entertainment, is really not suitable for a hopeless illiterate like me."
After He Lin finished speaking, he was about to scatter the black and white chess pieces on the table and put them away, but Hou Xiaoxiao held down his paw.
"Wait, finish this game of chess first!"
Hou Xiaoxiao threw He Lin's claw aside in disdain, "Don't try to deny your debt!"
She turned to Sheng Zhixing and said, "Old Sheng, you've come at the right time. You can be the referee and administer fairness and justice!"
Sheng Zhixing happily served as the referee. After watching the game, He Lin took out a land deed with a painful look on his face and reluctantly placed it in front of Hou Xiaoxiao: "Here, take it. I will earn it back in less than a month anyway!"
Hou Xiaoxiao happily put the deed into her pocket, and then took out a deck of playing cards made of gold powder and gold foil.
Sheng Zhixing's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth twitching: "Didn't I say that you two wealthy shopkeepers were going to use this ridiculous deck of playing cards to play Landlord?"
"I see that I am the only poor peasant here!"
He was about to stand up as he spoke: "I don't have the title deed to play cards with you! How about I leave first? You two continue to fight on the chessboard."
“Hey, hey, hey! Of course we won’t fight this big!” Hou Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed Sheng Zhixing and said, “If you lose, let’s play Truth or Dare!”
He Lin was standing aside. Hearing Sheng Zhixing's words, he gave him a look of contempt: "Old Sheng, why are you pretending? Your son is already the emperor of Nanzhao! Nanzhao is extremely rich now. Xiaoxiao and I are jealous of it."
Sheng Zhixing shrugged: "I'm dead and gone, Nanzhao has something to do with me. I think Master Liao is the real emperor of Nanzhao now."
Hou Xiaoxiao began to deal the cards: "Alright, stop talking about emperor or not, there won't be any emperors in the future."
"There are three of us now, just enough to form a branch!"
"By the way, Old Sheng." He Lin heard what Hou Xiaoxiao said and asked Sheng Zhixing, "How is your little apprentice doing now after returning from Xue Wei? Can we develop him into an insider?"
"It's still developing." Sheng Zhixing sorted out the poker cards in his hand: "I believe in my vision."
"It just takes some time for him to think about it."
He Lin nodded.
"Row!"
"It's been three years since we came here."
"I have worked so hard for the past three years to grow and finally have everything ready. All I need is the east wind."
Sheng Zhixing also felt a lot of emotion. It was not easy for He Lin, Hou Xiaoxiao and Li Xiaoguan to control the economic lifeline of Dasheng in three years.
"Everyone, let's work together to make this east wind blow faster!"

"What? Xue Wei is impotent?"
In the Golden Palace, Emperor Qingning's surprised voice rang out in the empty hall.
Zhou Jushan, who was standing aside pouring tea, almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
This was a bad idea he had suggested to Xue Wei, which would not only allay Emperor Qingning's doubts, but also save Emperor Qingning or the Empress Dowager from the trouble of matchmaking for Xue Wei.
Zhang Yuan, who had returned from the northwest to report to Emperor Qingning, replied respectfully, "Yes!"
"I have confirmed repeatedly that, in addition to the conversations I overheard in the forest and the prescriptions I secretly saw at the Xue Mansion, the daily diet of the Xue Mansion is also mainly composed of aphrodisiac ingredients."
"If your majesty is worried, when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, why not order Xue Wei to return to the capital to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and then have the Court Judge Qi investigate secretly."
"If there is a judge in charge, I think it can be confirmed."
Emperor Qingning was silent for a while after hearing Zhang Yuan's words. He was actually very happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.
He already knew about Xue Wei's impotence from the secret letter sent by Yuelai Escort Agency, but it was only after he asked Zhang Yuan about various details in person that he really believed it.
In addition, he also listened to Zhang Yuan's story about how Xue Wei in the northwest was grateful for his keen eye for talent and praised his majesty as an emperor.
Emperor Qingning was so frightened just by listening to Zhang Yuan's description that he really wanted to go to the northwest to see with his own eyes the stone tablets erected for him everywhere.
