Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times - Chapter 72
Jing Xingzhi’s mind was spinning very fast, and he felt annoyance in his heart as he clarified his thoughts.
They wanted to destroy his future for no reason, and if they didn’t succeed, they would do it again and again, pressing every step of the way, with such vicious thoughts!
They really thought he had a good temper, right? This clay figurine could get angry!
Seeing Jing Xingzhi’s face getting ugly, Wang Zhuang knew Young Master Jing might have noticed the problem just like him.
Wang Zhuang glanced at it and said slowly: “Young Master Jing, those people you pointed out to me have suddenly spent a lot of money recently, and they should all have received the bribe money. As for the student who made the first attack, that student found out that the inspector of this imperial examination is coming inspect before the examination, the inspector probably already waiting in the Taibai Tower so he took the initiative. I guess he want to make a name for himself!”
“Is that person very knowledgeable? What’s his name?” Jing Xingzhi lowered his eyes, moved his feet, and crushed an ant crawling on the ground to death.
Wang Zhuang’s eyelids twitched when he saw this scene, thinking this student might be in trouble.
He felt pity for that student for a moment, and then said: “The man’s name is Zheng Juelun. He is smart and brilliant. He has been ranked first in the monthly examinations of the government school for two years, and people praised him and his articles are also amazing.'”
Jing Xingzhi kept the name “Zheng Juelun” in his mind and asked about the person behind them: “Brother Zhuang, who is the person who gave the money?”
“The person who gave the money is a man and a woman. I saw how they dressed and behaved like a servant of some family.” Wang Zhuang frowned, wondering, “As for who is behind this couple, I don’t have any news here yet, it’s not easy while they guard against us, but I will definitely be able to figure it out in a few days, which will not alarm anyone!”
Jing Xingzhi thought about it for a moment, but he couldn’t find the answer in his mind. He wanted to break his head, but he still couldn’t think of who he had offended?
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he decided to wait for the real culprit to surface on his own.
Jing Xingzhi put aside his thoughts and thanked Wang Zhuang: “Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhuang. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have the manpower to check this.”
Wang Zhuang waved his hands and smiled, “I belong to the chief and his family. There is no difference between you and him. It’s fine if Young Master Jing can use me, but if he doesn’t, then I’m useless.”
Jing Xingzhi was surprised and wondered about Wang Zhuang’s identity.
After they traveled together twice, Wang Zhuang was much easier to use than a modern housekeeper. There seemed to be nothing Wang Zhuang couldn’t do, and he could check anything very quickly. Jing Xingzhi felt that Wang Zhuang definitely knew a lot of people.
But such a powerful Wang Zhuang actually said that he was a domestic servant? Who could afford such a capable domestic servant?
The old man came from a poor family like himself, and he didn’t have any background. It wasn’t like the kind of old-established family with such talents and manpower.
So, if Wang Zhuang came from the palace, then everything made sense.
.
After the rumor debate in Taibai Tower, Jing Xingzhi and Wu Mingrui didn’t go out again and studied at home with peace of mind.
At first, Liu Fang was concealed by Jing Xingzhi and Wu Mingrui, but as Wang Zhuang approached Jing Xingzhi several times and Jing Xingzhi repeatedly avoided him, Liu Fang realized something was wrong and “tortured” Jing Xingzhi at night.
Knowing that someone was doing something bad again, Liu Fang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Jing Xingzhi hurriedly hugged him and comforted him: “Don’t be angry. If you are too angry, the baby will be a wrinkled old man or ugly shuanger when he is born. Do you want it to be ugly?”
“Nonsense.” Liu Fang turned to glare at him.
Jing Xingzhi immediately took the blame: “Yeah, of course it would be ugly like me.”
Liu Fang’s vein popped up on his forehead, and he was very angry: “Why is our baby ugly? You can’t think of something good.”
“Okay, okay, okay. It will definitely look good. But what if it really doesn’t look good?” Jing Xingzhi frowned deliberately sad and made a sighing appearance.
Liu Fang also became worried, as if he had forgotten what he was angry about just now.
Jing Xingzhi took a sneak peek and thought that his rank was getting higher and higher, and he was worthy of being the man in his family.
From the corner of his eye, Liu Fang glanced at Jing Xingzhi’s snickering mouth. He maintained the melancholy on his face lik4 he was worried that the baby would look ugly, but in his heart, he wrote down this matter in a black notebook that held grudges. There was also a person named “Zheng Juelun”.
Not long after Jing Xingzhi deceived Liu Fang, Wang Zhuang’s men ran from Hanbei to Hannan, and searched for news in the capital for several days, finally finding out the matter clearly.
Because the results were so shocking, Wang Zhuang was a little worried about Jing Xingzi’s young heart, so he wrote a letter to Fang Qichen asking if he should tell Jing Xingzhi all the facts.
Fang Qichen only wrote one line in the letter: [Yes, but only if his wife, Liu Fang is present.]
Fang Qichen, being an old man, saw the closeness between the young couple in his eyes, and he understood it very well.
He knew Jing Xingzhi best, but Jing Xingzhi was still young after all, he was afraid that his disciple would be too sad when he knew the truth, so Fang Qichen came up with a way to have Liu Fang present as the comfort wife.
Liu Fang had a tenacious temperament, also pregnant; which screamed the words “responsibility” and “family” to worry about, so the little disciple’s psychological mind would not collapse.
After a few days of this incident, the innocent little disciple would naturally realize that the most important thing was to “cherish the person in front of you.”
Therefore, Wang Zhuang spent some time and deliberately picked a good time to find Jing Xingzhi when he was walking around the yard with Liu Fang.
Wang Zhuang clenched his fists to relieve himself from the pressure and said: “Young Master Jing, my people have found out the person behind the couple.”
