Demon detective

Chapter 132 Studying
Uncle Zhang Lin's house.

The streets were still full of gongs and drums, firecrackers blared, and beautiful fireworks were set off. The people of the whole county were still immersed in the joy of overthrowing the three mountains.

However, no matter how loud the sound outside was, it was no louder than Aunt Feng Ya's cannon:

"It's all right now, Xu Zhen, you don't have to pay back Cui Yanwang's debt, you must keep an eye on it when you are in the yamen, and I heard that after Qiu Batian ransacked his house, he paid compensation.

"This Cui Xiaotian must be the same. If you can get the compensation back, alas...that's a lot of money..."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Zhen held his little daughter-in-law Youmeng with one hand, and saluted his aunt with the other, "Auntie is right, I will definitely keep an eye on her, as long as I can get the compensation back, I will immediately Send it to auntie!"

Today, Xu Zhen came here specially to pick You Meng home. It was time for dinner, and the food was ready, but my aunt didn't seem to want to keep Xu Zhen for dinner.

"No, no, hehe..." My aunt said a little "shyly", "You don't need to send them all, you should keep some for yourself, save one or two for emergencies."

"Cousin," at this time, the second cousin Zhang Wenxin interjected untimely, "Since you're here, let's leave after eating!"

"..." The aunt's face suddenly became gloomy, and she blamed her daughter, "Didn't you see that cousin is in a hurry to go home with a dream? They haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have to go back to have a good meal and celebrate. Didn't do anything delicious, did you?"

"Mom..." Zhang Wenxin pouted and muttered, "Isn't six catties of braised grass carp delicious?"

However, my aunt was used to her daughter's ruthless denunciations, so she immediately put away the extra bowls and chopsticks indifferently, and said at the same time: "We have been taking care of the little daughter-in-law for more than ten days. fee?"

"Oh, mom..." Although Zhang Wenxin was also used to it, she still felt extremely ashamed.

"Oh, it's true," Xu Zhen pretended to be stunned, and said quickly, "When the salary is paid next month, I will send the money for the meal as soon as possible. Also, I will fix the table at home some other day. Please take care of me. Auntie please, having dreams these days really bothers you!"

"Look, my eldest nephew is still sensible, hehe..." The aunt laughed, "Xu Zhenna, although I don't have to pay back the debt in the future, I feel that the house should be sold well, and you young couple don't need to live in it at all." It's a big house..."

This time, Zhang Wenxin couldn't take it anymore, so he simply dragged Xu Zhen and Youmeng out of the courtyard.

puff……

High in the sky, a firework exploded, illuminating the night sky, which was very beautiful.

Youmeng looked up and felt happy.

"My mother is really hopeless, cousin, don't worry about it!" Zhang Wenxin persuaded, "However, my mother is right, that is, the three mountains have fallen, and good times are coming .”

As she spoke, she took out a box of pastries from her sleeve and handed it to Youmeng: "Here, this is your favorite crispy cake, take it!"

"Thank you sister," Youmeng said even more happily, "Sister really has a heart!"

"That..." Xu Zhen frowned, "From my point of view, you should call her Second Sister, right?"

"Oh, two... two..." Youmeng actually took it seriously, and immediately wanted to change his words, but he couldn't yell out.

"Don't listen to him," Zhang asked with a knowing smile, "We each call our own, and he just wanted to take advantage of me. This is called: no advantage to seek advantage, no real boy."

Hey?
Xu Zhen heard that this was the second cousin mocking him.

So, he also made up a random sentence: "When you can get rich, hurry up, Sister Furong is a beauty!"

puff...

Hearing Xu Zhen's "Xialian", the two daughters were dumbfounded.

"Okay, cousin," Zhang Wenxin looked at Xu Zhen differently even though his cheeks were slightly red, "Although it's obscene, it also has a special charm. It seems that the last time you met Xuanwu Academy was absolutely not accidental!"

"Indecent is not counted," Xu Zhen corrected, "at most it is romantic!"

"Okay," Zhang Wenxin smiled, "Since my cousin really has the talent for couplets, then if you have the opportunity to come to our academy, let you compete with my students and see how capable you are!"

The Jinxiu Study where Zhang Wenxin was located was full of female disciples, Xu Zhen's eyes lit up immediately, he cupped his hands and shook his head and said, "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it..."

After bidding farewell to his second cousin, Xu Zhen walked along the street with his young daughter-in-law Youmeng.

Today's Youmeng finally has the joy of comfort and happiness on his face.

"Master," Youmeng took out the silver ingot in his sleeve and said, "Sister Wenxin has been so kind to us, since we found the Jiaoyin, why don't we take some out and give it to them?
"Before, if it wasn't for their relief, our family would have been unable to survive long ago!
"Also, also, aunt is a nagging person, but she is also a good person, so don't be angry with her!"

Seeing Youmeng's anxious look, Xu Zhen was even more relieved.

He asked Youmeng to put the silver ingot back, and said happily: "Youmeng, I, Xu Zhen, am I an ungrateful person, my uncle's family has treated us as much as a mountain, and I will definitely repay you twice.

"But...you have to remember that a big tree invites the wind, and the wealth is not in vain. Our cellar silver can only be used when we have to, otherwise, it will only bring us disaster!"

"Oh..." Youmeng nodded, although she understood the reason, she was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Don't worry," Xu Zhen comforted, "Although you can't spend a lot of money, it's okay to improve your life. Let's go to Desheng Building now and eat something good."

"En." Youmeng nodded vigorously, it can be seen that she must be hungry.

……

late at night.

Youmeng finished cleaning the room and went back to rest.

Xu Zhen held the lamp in his study and was copying the book "The Way of the Demon" with his heart.

For such an important secret book, he naturally had to be extra cautious, so he decided to make a copy as a backup.

While transcribing, he also inevitably recalled what happened these days.

Although he realized that behind the case of Qiu Zhennong and Cui Xiaotian, there should be a court struggle, but it was impossible for him to understand what the emperor's intervention foreshadowed?
Although the case is over, after all they already know the secret of the governor Han Wentao, which is always a hidden danger.

Maybe what Song Zhili said was right, they didn't dare to touch Song Zhili, but it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't touch them.

But no matter what, Cui Xiaotian had just been executed, so they should not take any action in a short time.

Han Wentao's secret also made Xu Zhen realize that the darkness of those in power at the top is much more vicious than bullies like Qiu Batian and Cui Yanwang.

Because of this, I still need to strive for the upper reaches and continue to work hard.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Zhen suddenly heard a movement, turned his head and looked up, but saw Youmeng entering the study with an oil lamp.

"Dream?" Xu Zhen hurriedly asked, "You haven't slept yet?"

"Master, I can't sleep." Youmeng came to Xu Zhen and said, "Can I stay here with you?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhen asked, "In the past, it's okay to be afraid, but now we stand up and liberate, and we have money, so you can't sleep anymore?"

"Well," Youmeng nodded timidly, "I don't know why, but I just can't sleep. Master, what did you write? Can I write for you?"

"Can you write?" Xu Zhen asked hurriedly.

"Sister Wenxin taught me something," Youmeng said, "I can try it."

Oh……

It was only then that Xu Zhen remembered that he had never cared about Youmeng's experience in Jinxiu Study.

"Youmeng, come here," Xu Zhen gently held Youmeng in his arms, and said softly, "What do you think of the study?"

"Very good," You Meng obeyed like a kitten, "I'm especially envious of those seniors who can read and write, I..."

"If you like it," Xu Zhen said without hesitation, "then send you to study in the study!"

"Ah? Master? Really!?" You Meng was pleasantly surprised, but still said in embarrassment, "But, I am a child bride-in-law, and the students who study there are all ladies, I..."

"What child bride, don't underestimate yourself!" Xu Zhen said hastily, "It's a good thing to like to read and write. I'll pay your tuition tomorrow, we can afford it!"

"Master!" Youmeng hugged Xu Zhen, and cried with emotion, "You are so kind to me! Huh..."

"Why are you crying?" Xu Zhen hurriedly comforted, "As long as you like it, I will support you all! Don't cry, don't cry..."
