After coming out of the backyard, Butler Yue still lowered his head and followed Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng snapped his fingers, and Jiu Mao immediately walked out from behind the rockery and stood tall and tall beside Zhao Heng.

"Spread the news. Firstly, Anping and Ah Xuan are going to Lishan Academy in seven days. Secondly, let's say that the chief eunuch in the palace will send someone to assassinate Anping and the others." Zhao Heng ordered Jiumao in a calm tone.

Jiu Mao nodded, but just as he was about to leave, he still couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart: "Master, Master Anping and the others haven't gone to school yet. If news of the assassination is released at this time, will it... be too...

Is it early?"

"It's not early, I have to exaggerate it." Zhao Heng replied.

Jiumao didn't ask any more questions and immediately strode out.

Butler Yue followed Zhao Heng and watched Zhao Heng arrange everything in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but nod in his heart. This "young man" indeed had means and a calm heart.

If the young master and the young madam had used such methods back then, young master Anping would not have been left alone.

"Steward Yue, how are the Han family doing recently?" Zhao Heng chatted with Steward Yue as he walked forward.

"It's gone. I heard that many of the servants have been dismissed..." Butler Yue replied.

"Nowadays, everyone thinks that the Duke's Mansion is useless. Not many people pay attention to you. You send people to keep an eye on the Han family." Zhao Heng said to Guan Yue's family.

Butler Yue was startled at first, and then his back was covered in cold sweat.

Mr. Zhao...does he know something? Although the Duke's Mansion has declined, the Duke's Mansion does still have a group of secret guards, but those secret guards are all controlled by the master...

With all kinds of complicated emotions, Butler Yue followed Zhao Heng towards the front yard in confusion.

However, when they walked to the front yard, they did not see the figure of Lord Zhen Guo. Instead, they saw A Bao and Dabao practicing their sword obediently.

"Where's your grandpa?" Zhao Heng tugged on Abao's little crotch and asked casually.

"Mother is back. Grandpa went to talk to mother." Abao said obediently. While avoiding Zhao Heng's hand, he couldn't help but raise his short legs, making a gesture to move toward Zhao Heng.

Heng kicked him away...

Zhao Heng glanced at the chubby little legs and didn't say anything. He sat down on a chair on the side and stared at the two kids practicing.

Next to the small warehouse at the side entrance of the Duke's Mansion, Zhen Guogong and Wang Chunniang stood there.

"Dad, what do you want from me?" Wang Chunniang was also carrying two fishes in her hand, which she had brought from the restaurant and was going to take them home to make soup for the children.

Unexpectedly, when I reached the door of the mansion, I was stopped by the Duke of Zhen.

Duke Zhen Guo laughed, stretched out his hand and handed a black sign to Wang Chunniang, as casually as if he had handed a small wooden sign to her.

"Don't ask questions yet, listen to me first." Duke Zhenguo said to Wang Chunniang: "Since you call me daddy, we don't need to see each other outside."

"Anping's grandmother left early. When she left, Anping's father was only a few years old. In that year, I secretly formed a team of secret guards named Bifeng."

"Recently, I asked Lao Yue to purchase a batch of very good crossbows. I originally wanted to wait until the items are in place before handing them over to you, but today the eunuch was running amok in the house, so I decided to hand them over to you when you come back from the restaurant today.

.”

"You don't have to feel pressure. The original intention of establishing this secret guard is to protect, not to kill." Duke Zhenguo smiled heartily: "That kid Zhao Heng probably knows about this, but everything is left to you to decide.

"

"Yes." Wang Chunniang didn't show any pretense and directly put away the black token.

Taking shelter from the wind means protecting your family, right?

…

That night, Wang Chunniang told Zhao Heng the conversation she had with Duke Zhen today.

Wang Chunniang held the token in her hand and asked Zhao Heng, who was leaning on the bed reading a book: "I don't think Dad knows that you actually sold those arrows and crossbows, right?"

"Of course I don't know, so Madam, just keep silent and make a fortune." Zhao Heng laughed and continued to read the book.

Seeing that he was fascinated, Wang Chunniang came over and took a look at the cover of the book.

"History of Lishan Academy?" Wang Chunniang said in surprise: "Why do you read this?"

"I'm going to make a trip tomorrow. Let's prepare first." Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows.

Wang Chunniang turned over and muttered: "Okay, you're busy, I'll go to bed first."

Zhao Heng turned sideways and pulled the quilt for Wang Chunniang, and then continued to look.

On the second day,

Zhao Heng didn't go out at all, he just sat quietly in the yard reading, until...in the middle of the morning, a little book boy came to the door with a post and asked to see Zhao Heng.

"Master Zhao, our master wants to see you." The little book boy didn't dare to raise his head to look at Zhao Heng, he just lowered his head and said to Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng put away the book in his hand and handed it to Jiu Mao. He stood up decisively and followed the little book boy out of the door.

Then, Jiumao followed his master all the way to... Tateyama Academy.

Tateyama Academy is located in the west part of the capital. Not only is it not a quiet place, but it is in the center of the city.

Tateyama Academy was established in the previous dynasty and has been in use to this day. It never recruits civilian disciples and never recruits female disciples. All the disciples of Tateyama Academy are from aristocratic families.

Jiu Mao followed Zhao Heng, his eyes full of surprise. This academy... is really luxurious.

The master and the servant followed the little book boy and walked forward until... they arrived at a three-story building called Chao Ran Building.

In the hall on the first floor, an old man with a mustache who was about to fall asleep was sitting in the front seat, and a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a tall figure was sitting in the deputy seat on the left.

"Master Zhao, this is Mr. Jiang, Siye (vice principal) of our academy." The little book boy only introduced the person sitting on the left, and then stood obediently behind Jiang Siye. As for the one sitting in the front seat,

The headmaster (principal), he didn't even introduce him. It shows... Jiang Siye should have the final say in this academy.

"Master Zhao, I heard that you have been staying in the countryside for the past few years. Why did you spread rumors as soon as you returned to the capital? When did Lishan Academy say that we would accept Zhao Xuan and Yue Anping as students?" Jiang Siye sorted out his thoughts.

robe, asked Zhao Heng.

Jiumao, who was standing behind Zhao Heng, was shocked! When his master said he wanted to spread the news yesterday, he thought he had really solved the Tateyama Academy matter.

As a result... the Academy didn't know anything about it.

"Ah? From what you say, Lishan Academy doesn't want to accept my son and nephew anymore?" Zhao Heng crossed his legs gracefully and raised his eyebrows as he asked Jiang Siye.

Jiang Siye was a person who attached great importance to discipline and laws. In addition, he saw Zhao Heng's lazy appearance at this time. He said righteously: "Now you and Zhen Guogong are not officials in the court. They only have a false name.

Naturally, this young master cannot enter Tateyama Academy."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Heng also patted his clothes, as if there was a lot of dust on them, then stood up and said to Jiu Mao: "Let's go!"

Jiu Mao was a little anxious: "Master, isn't this academy the best in the capital? If we leave..."

When Jiu Mao said this, Jiang Siye didn't look sideways and didn't look at the master and servant at all. As for the old man with the mustache, the mountain chief, he was already asleep...

Zhao Heng and Jiu Mao walked out like this. As soon as they left the academy, Jiu Mao couldn't wait to ask Zhao Heng: "Master, was my performance okay?"

Zhao Heng ignored him and said: "Find someone to publicize it again and say that Lishan Academy has repented and asked A Xuan and An Ping to drop out."

Jiumao responded happily, and then went to do things quickly.

As soon as Jiumao left, Zhao Heng walked towards the dim sum shop not far ahead. He heard that the dim sum here in Xicheng was good, so he bought some for Abao to take back.
Chapter completed!
