Xu Jue didn't take the dispute with Zhang Jing's nephew at first. Although Zhang Jing was favored by the emperor, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun was in charge of the rule. However, Zhang Juzheng from the outside court and Feng Bao in the inner court, the little emperor was not very good at speaking. Compared with Feng Bao, Zhang Jing had no idea how much power was, so how could he scare him? He took a step back and said that if the person who had a conflict with him was Zhang Jing himself, he would be almost the same as he gave two points, so how could he look down on the nephew of the Zhang family? However, after the conflict, he did not take it to his heart, but what he waited for was Zhang Jing personally brought his nephew to apologize!

The gift used to apologize was Zhang Jing's niece and the stupid boy's legitimate sister.

Since You Qi fell on the woman's belly and found out that it was Li Wengui, the second son of Wu Qing, who had installed an outdoor room beside him, Xu Jue has become much more restrained. Apart from the social engagements that he could not admit to the confession after a show, he no longer dared to get involved in a mess of women, especially those things sent by officials outside for flattery. Therefore, when he saw that Zhang Jing's niece was just a middle-aged and superior, and knelt on the ground to apologize to his brother, he was timid and could not even speak in a straight manner. How could he accept it?

But in the end, he could not resist the huge temptation of the ten thousand taels of silver bills printed with the popularity of Shanxi merchants. He told himself that Zhang Jing was a capable person in front of the emperor, and Zhang Jing's niece was a cowardly woman who was not an independent person. She was not an outdoor room dedicated to confusing men, and just put it aside after putting it aside. So he took it away half-spokenly. Afterwards, he found out that the concubine he was about to take was Zhang Jing's legitimate niece, and he had to mention it to Feng Bao carefully. Feng Bao sneered and told him that Zhang Jing was trying to join the Sili Supervisor, and he accepted the five thousand taels he gave to the Buddha with flowers. His heart was completely settled.

Since he had passed the Ming Road and knew that there was no big problem with the new aunt, Xu Juechun was a joke about kittens and dogs, and stayed in his room for several days. He was a little unstoppable. Zhang Sanniang was only fifteen years old and had a young body, but it was completely different from the ripe peaches he had picked before. In bed, he would resist and fight like a kitten from time to time, which made him quite fun. But once it was daytime, he was honest and dull, without asking more questions or taking a step, such a new love naturally had a taste for Xu Jue. He usually competed with others, and he was really fed up with those women with nine orifices.

After just over ten days, he had become accustomed to going directly to Zhang Sanniang's house when he came back from the yamen. Although the other concubines in the house were dissatisfied, the eldest wife, his Yuanmao, had already become old and weak. He only wanted to pull his son and ignored the complaints at all. Instead, he warned everyone that Zhang Sanniang had a different identity. It may not be known that the women were immediately depressed.

At this moment, he sat on the head of the bed, letting his youthful little hands burn and pinch his feet. He looked at the commentary stories brought back from the East Factory. When he flipped one of them, he suddenly sat up straight, and with force under his feet, he almost overturned a basin of water.

But although the high-legged wooden basin was not over, Zhang Sanniang wet her clothes with the splashed water droplets. But she silently glanced at Xu Jue's expression as usual, then wiped his feet dry and changed into shoes, then cleaned up the water stains on the ground, then stood up and quietly walked out of the door with the basin of water.

When Xu Jue found that the person had no intention of coming in and ignored what happened, he felt relieved, so he carefully read the brief again. It was a link in a secret line from the eunuch Zhang Hong, the eunuch of Silijian. Although there were few messages on weekdays and no conspiracy involved, Xu Jue, in the purpose of catching big fish in a long line, never alerted the snake, so he never dared to follow the clues to investigate the upper and lower line. But today he found that he had touched a big fish.

At the beginning of the brief, it was reported that Wang Fulin's friend Cheng Naixuan sent a letter to impeach Fan Shimei, and used his old tricks to provoke an internal strife in the guild, so that the possible thorns in the court could emerge. This was fine, the tricks that had been used twice were not new, and he did not believe that this would work as before. At most, it would be a bad luck for Fan Shimei, who could not stand the aggression. However, through this, it was a great gain to successfully learn that Zhang Hong actually sent someone to monitor Wang Fulin. But the meaning of the latter half was different, and it was related to the old things that were not good at that time and the conspiracy against Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. If it was true, it would be a big deal!

Although it was already very late, Xu Jue still pulled his shoes out and ordered someone to go to Feng Bao's private house outside the palace to inquire, and he felt that the eunuch, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, might have left the palace. After all, the palace gates were closed at this time. Even if a large eunuch like Feng Bao lived in a straight house by the river in the outer imperial city, the outer imperial city could not enter at night. This was a night, so he naturally couldn't wait. Therefore, when Zhang Sanniang, who had changed into a dress, came out again, he had already put on his coat and went out. Before leaving, he said lightly: "I probably passed by the study tonight, you don't have to wait."

If another woman was a charming woman, she would naturally be charming and foolish, but Zhang Sanniang just bowed her knees silently and brought him a big cloak, and she didn't say anything anymore. Xu Jue felt that he felt so comfortable. Before leaving, he pinched her face lightly, and then laughed and said, "Master, I have something to deal with. You can set it up yourself. When you have time, you will feed your little mouth."

Watching Xu Jue leave, when Zhang Sanniang ordered the two maids Dingxiang and Sier not to come in to serve and put down the curtain of the door, two lines of tears rolled down her eyes. Although the Zhang family used to be a poor family, it seemed that they had lived a very wealthy life since they entered Beijing, but for her, they were locked in a cage from a field with a little freedom.

Originally, she could have hoped to find a good family to live a peaceful life, but because of her brother's turmoil, her father's cowardice and lust, and her mother was sick and unattended. As a last resort, she was handed over by her uncle to Xu Jue like money and made a bed-warming object!

Every night, the pitiful fights and struggles she had in bed were just to vent her anger that had accumulated in her heart, but what's the use?

As he fell on the pillow, Zhang Sanniang whimpered in pain, only one thought in her heart.

Who can save her? Who can save her from this cage?

Just as the whimper was gradually unable to be covered by the thick pillows and quilts and gradually spread to the outside, a figure quietly flashed into the door, but whispered: "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang?"

Zhang Sanniang almost came back to her senses. She hurriedly wiped her tears hard in the quilt. After she poked her head out, she saw that it was Xu Jue's Yuanwei Dafang Luo's girl Dingxiang who had always been honest these days. She quickly said in a dry voice: "I just miss home..."

Dingxiang did not ask much, but whispered: "My mother Liu and Sier went to bed lazily, so no one knew that the aunt had cried. I'll get a basin of water to wash your face. The master has always been taboo for someone to cry at home, and it feels unlucky."

Seeing that Zhang Sanniang was speechless, Dingxiang hurriedly went out. Soon after, she brought a basin of cool well water. The cold water applied to her eyes, which quickly made Zhang Sanniang's eyes swollen and slightly red. She smiled and said, "It's okay to wake up tomorrow morning. Don't worry, aunt, no one can see it at that time." She was about to go out, but she was suddenly grabbed by someone. Seeing Zhang Sanniang begging, she immediately understood and immediately whispered: "It doesn't matter, the wife never cares about the aunt's affairs. I'm not a talkative person, and I will never say it."

With this promise, Zhang Sanniang felt relieved. Her dowry was all generous gifts given to Xu Jue, but she didn't bring any of them. After entering the Xu family, she had to serve Xu Jue every day. Although it was not a pleasant experience, it was much better than sleeping alone in this completely unfamiliar place. Therefore, tonight, Xu Jue was not here, and she felt an indescribable fear. She still held Dingxiang's hand tightly, and finally a low word burst out from her mouth.

"I don't want to be alone, you stay..."

"It turns out that my aunt doesn't like being alone, so I'll be on the night tonight."

Seeing Dingxiang busy laying a quilt on the floor of the bed, although Zhang Sanniang felt that this was not much the same as what she wanted, she still felt relieved without having to curl up on the bed alone. However, she did not notice that when Dingxiang walked out to lock the door with brisk steps, the corners of her mouth were raised high, and she was obviously very happy to have successfully brought her distance to the hostess.

When Dingxiang came back again, after closing the door, she whispered: "Auntie, the master has gone out."

"Oh." Zhang Sanniang didn't ask Xu Jue's whereabouts until the lights were turned off and the sound of Dingxiang gently moving her body came from the ground. She asked in a very low voice, "Dingxiang, have you ever thought about leaving the Xu Mansion?"

"What are you asking about this?" In the dark room, Dingxiang's face, which seemed extremely honest during the day, showed a hint of joy, but his voice was still very stable. "Don't think too much about it. No woman in the inner house, whether it is an aunt like you, or a maid or a maid, wants to leave the mansion, because our mansion never chases people, either directly killed or taken to the village to lock up. It is harder to leave the mansion than climbing to the sky. The master's official position is not large, but on this acre of three-point land in the capital, even the Minister of the Shangshu must be polite to him."

Zhang Sanniang also knew that it was because of Xu Jue's great power that her uncle who was arrogant in front of her father and brother would send her to apologize. However, now that Dingxiang said this, she couldn't help but bite the sheet tightly. Next, under Dingxiang's guidance, she, who didn't understand the sinister world, gradually revealed the bitterness and confusion in her heart, and finally fell asleep.

On the other hand, Xu Jue, who found out that Feng Bao had just returned to his private house, rushed over and over again. Feng's house was cleaned and screened by him before. Although he did not talk about iron buckets, it was not the same as before. In order to avoid Feng You and Feng Bangning and his son thinking that they had occupied the nest, he gradually reduced the number of stays. However, he was a person who had been in charge here for a long time. When he knocked on the door of the Feng family, several doormen were respectful and even more polite than to the serious master. While busy informing Feng Bao, he welcomed him inside. When he finally came to Feng Bao's house, he heard a voice coming from inside.

"Come in."

"Yes. It's really important to disturb my father-in-law's sleep at night."

Xu Jue explained first, then quietly opened the curtain and went in. Seeing Feng Bao wearing a silk robe and was throwing a book in his hand, he knew that Feng Bao must pay attention to his explanation just now, so he did not dare to delay. He first sent the piece of paper about Zhang Hong's hidden thread. Seeing Feng Bao lower his head and brows gradually locked, he lowered his hand and said, "It's important. Although he doesn't know the truth or falsehood, he would rather believe it or not..."

"Needless to say!"

Feng Bao interrupted Xu Jue's words sternly, but was silent for a while, then said word by word: "Are you sure this is really Zhang Hong's hidden line? And the so-called Gao Gong's manuscript did not cut it off all the manuscripts when the secret letter was cut off?"

Although Zhang Hong is not as good as Feng Bao, he is also a person who is trusted by the two palaces and the little emperor. It would be great if the people sent by Xu Jue could copy the secret report. How dare you intercept Gao Gong's manuscript? Isn't it that it is open to tell Zhang Hong that this secret line has long been unsafe? However, now Feng Bao is clearly on the angry head, and Xu Jue has to bite the bullet and mention this difficulty. Sure enough, Feng Bao said viciously: "Tomorrow, you will spread all your hands for me. Remember, the most reliable one is to keep a close eye on Zhang Siwei, and those who have criticized me and Zhang Taiyue behind their backs are not allowed to let go! Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing are all staring at him!"

Xu Jue quickly agreed, but then whispered: "Although the matter of father-in-law's delivery is important, even the factory guards have limited eyeliners. If they are all used here, there will be insufficient other places."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Bao said without thinking: "If there is not enough manpower, I will withdraw the manpower from some places."

"It's easy for others to take back their spy back for a while, but Wang Fulin once sent three people... After all, this secret report also mentioned his affairs at the beginning..."

"Even if he instigated Fan Shimei to have selfish intentions, his intentions... Maybe it was Zhang Taiyue's explanation. He was originally Zhang Taiyue's person, so it doesn't matter if he threw it for a while. Let's focus on this matter first!"

With Feng Bao's order, Xu Jue no longer hesitated and immediately responded respectfully. When he was about to take his leave, he heard Feng Bao's order again: "By the way, keep a close eye on the Zhu family of Chengguo Gong."

As soon as Zhu Xizhong died, the Zhu family of Chengguo was just an ordinary noble family, and there was no need to pay much attention to it on weekdays. But Xu Jue didn't know why Feng Bao was following the Zhu family. Naturally, he had no objection, but he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He had the idea of ​​how to take the Qingming River Tour for himself. There was no problem at all, but suddenly he encountered such a difficult situation now. If there was really something wrong with it, he would inevitably be angry. Why was it so coincidental?
