Chapter 68
When he arrived at Zhang Mansion, Qin Yuehuai was familiar with the doors and roads, and ran straight towards the main courtyard "Qingning Hall".

"Qingning Hall" is really not quiet at the moment. The husbands of the Zhang Mansion and Zhang Manman, the only young lady, are all piled up outside, waiting for news about the doctor inside and Zhang Dalang, who is in charge at the moment.

Mr. Lang is dusty and wears a frost-colored white cloak. White snow falls on his hair and shoulders, brushing against his ears. He is one with the wind and snow, how solemn and solemn he is.

He walked step by step from the snow, with a tall and straight posture and extraordinary momentum, as if he was stepping on the apex of people's hearts step by step.

When Zhang Manman saw this, she felt that her familiar brother Huai was back again, and she felt excited.

She held the handkerchief and stepped forward. With a deep emotion in her eyes, she choked and shouted: "Brother Huai."

In front of everyone, Qin Yuehuai couldn't help but turn a blind eye. He looked at Zhang Manman and nodded expressionlessly.

Then he stepped forward, bowed to all his acquaintances one by one, and asked Zhang Erlang, "How is Master's wife?"

Qin Yuehuai was valued as a godson by his parents, and the entire Zhang family was accustomed to this. Zhang Erlang did not hide anything, shook his head and said: "I have been unconscious for a stick of incense, and there is no sign of waking up. The doctor is still administering acupuncture at this moment." , let’s wait and see what happens.”

After half a stick of incense, the door to the inner room was pushed open, and the doctor came out and said, "Madam has woken up and is fine for now."

Zhang Manman ran in crying, and under Zhang Dalang's arrangement, Mr. Zhang and Qin Yuehuai also came in one by one to meet Mrs. Zhang and salute.

Mrs. Zhang's face was withered. When she saw Qin Yuehuai coming, she couldn't help but shed tears, "Qi Lang is back."

After saying this, she could no longer speak.Qin Yuehuai looked at Mrs. Zhang, as if she was asking him: Qi Lang, what should we do now?
Qin Yuehuai gently held the hand that Mrs. Zhang extended to him, and said in a low voice that she could hear, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will find a way to spread the news to the army."

When he called her this, Mrs. Zhang became even more expressionless and nodded with tears in her eyes.In addition, Qin Yuehuai had experience in the military, so she believed that he had a way to find out Zhang Jun's whereabouts.

When Qin Yuehuai came out of Qingning Hall, it was already early morning the next day, the snow was still falling, the sky and the earth were covered with snow, and the wind was freezing.

He stood under the eaves and asked Yang Dong: "What did you find?"

Yang Dong said: "Master Lang expected it to be true. Madam did not get the news directly from my husband, but went to attend a banquet at the Duke of Qi's mansion. After she came back, she could not walk even before she got off the carriage. Her female envoy said She had a sudden physical abnormality and ordered someone to carry her back to Qingning Hall."

Qin Yuehuai curled up the corners of his lips. Sure enough, it was still related to the Wang family.

He was able to get news about Huaixi, and the battle reports from the battlefield should also have reached Ouchi.

If something happens to an important minister like Zhang Jun, who is also responsible for the current defense of Huaixi, his uncle will definitely summon trustworthy people to discuss the next arrangements for the war in Huaixi.As prime minister, Qin Hui will definitely be the first batch of candidates summoned by his uncle.

Once Qin Hui learned that something happened to Zhang Jun, the first place he wanted to disrupt the "military morale" would be the nearest and most convenient place, the "rear area" in Lin'an Mansion.

One is the Zhang family, and the other is the official family.

Having regarded Zhang Jun as his old enemy for many years, he was able to exaggerate Zhang Jun's unclear situation at once and exaggerate the atmosphere to the highest level, which made the Zhang family's back house uneasy and caused a lot of discussion in the court. Qin Hui would not miss this opportunity. of.

And if Qin Hui takes action, he will definitely continue to use the Wang family with a huge network of connections.

The grandfather of Qin Hui's wife Wang Qiong was Wang Kui, the former prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Wang family itself had a good foundation.In addition, one of Wang Kui's granddaughters, also a cousin of Wang Qiong, is the current imperial concubine Meng.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the basis of Qin Hui's fortune was mostly the social connections of his wife's Wang family.

Otherwise, Qin Hui would not have allowed Wang Qiong to send Liang Yifei, his own son, to another family for foster care, and then adopt his natal nephew as his successor and cultivate him as his successor.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuehuai looked at the vast snow and thought of Liang Yifei again.

Now that Qin Hui is in power, Liang Yifei's life experience has gradually been revealed. As his power increases in the future, Qin Hui will definitely pay more attention to him.

Liang Yifei is different today than in the past.

Liang Yifei and Shen Yanhan broke off their engagement because the Liang family's parents disrespected Shen Yanhan's mother in their words. If Shen Yanhan knew that Liang Yifei's parents were someone else, and his real parents would no longer interfere with this marriage...

Being made restless by his own associations, his worry about gains and losses once again took hold. Qin Yuehuai clenched his fists, becoming even more determined that Shen Yanhan would win.

He still had to find a way to make her his wife.

Only when the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice can we truly count it as our own.

When thinking of his wife, Qin Yuehuai couldn't help but think of the recent news.Wang Zhang, the Duke of Qi and the mother of Meng Changqing, was not only involved in the Zhang family's affairs. The rumors about Shen Yanhan's mother in Qingshui Village were also related to her nanny, Aunt Wei.She was just a nun. She would definitely not make decisions on her own and give so much money to others. She must have been instructed by Wang Zhang.

Wang Zhang and Qi Yun seemed to have nothing to do with each other, so what was the purpose of doing this?
Qin Yuehuai frowned slightly, looking at the flying snow, thinking about Shen Yanhan's few relatives: her father, Imperial College Secretary Ye Shen Guci, stepmother Wen Shi, stepsister Shen Hui, stepbrother Shen Yu …

Shen Guyi is a scholar, so he cannot deliberately slander his wife. Shen Hui and Shen Yu are young, and as for Wen...

Qin Yuehuai raised his eyelids slightly and said to Yang Dong: "Check what kind of relationship the Wen family member of the Shen family has with anyone in Lin'an Mansion."

The only "Shen" family they knew was Shen Yanhan's family. Yang Dong paused for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Qin Yuehuai said again: "Go and inform Meng Si and ask him to meet me after he goes to court today."

Yang Dong hesitated and asked: "Are you coming to Zhang Mansion? Or to Lanyuan?"

Qin Yuehuai was silent for a moment, thinking about Mrs. Zhang's helpless appearance now, and thought it would be better for him to stay in Zhang's house for a few days, so he said, "Let him come here."

Yang Dong's men went to look for Meng Changqing but failed to find him.

Meng Changqing did not go to court at all today. His function as censor was to help Emperor Gaozong supervise the courtiers. When he was not at court, it meant that there was nothing to attend to, and other ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Changqing rested for the night at Zhengyun. After dawn, he went to Tingfeng Teahouse for breakfast.

It has to be said that a place like the teahouse welcomes visitors from all directions, and the flow of information here is much faster and more complicated than anywhere else.

Meng Changqing led Zhengyun into the private room and asked people not to close the door. While eating leisurely, he listened to the diners in the lobby talking about Feng Sheng.

In just one day and one night, news about Zhang Jun spread throughout Lin'an Mansion.

One person shouted: "Have you heard? Mr. Zhang is missing in Huaixi this time!"

Another person was surprised: "But didn't the Jin army retreat after defeat? Why are they still missing?"

"Well, who knows!" The man from before curled his lips and said in a disdainful voice: "Actually, this isn't the first time he's been defeated."

At this time, an audience member asked him: "Are you talking about the Battle of Fuping between the Zhou Dynasty and the Jin Army in Sichuan and Shaanxi in the seventh year of Yongxing?"

The man said angrily: "Apart from this battle, what other Fuping battle is there?"

The audience clearly disapproved of his contempt for Zhang Jun and retorted: "It's not because our Zhou Dynasty rushed to fight, the five armies and horses fought on their own, and there was a manager named Jiang Ze who made the abandoned army escape. Did it lead to a complete defeat? When you say that, it seems like it’s all Mr. Zhang’s business!”

Being rebutted in public, the person who spoke before naturally felt humiliated, and immediately said loudly: "Commander of the First Army, it is not his responsibility for the defeat, how can he blame others? Was he defeated? you say!"

The two of them were shouting louder than the other, and they forgot to continue talking about Zhang Jun's disappearance. They were so noisy.

Meng Changqing heard these arguments upstairs and frowned.

Zhang Jun is missing?
There is such a big thing.

Not listening to what others were saying, Zhengyun saw him frowning and asked him, "Mr. Meng, what's wrong? The food doesn't taste good?"

Meng Changqing hummed perfunctorily, put down the bamboo chopsticks, picked up the folding fan and stood up, "I'm leaving first."

Zhengyun quickly put down the bamboo chopsticks and said, "I've finished eating too."

Meng Changqing nodded and went downstairs with her.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Lanyuan. Meng Changqing gathered her cloak and did not invite Zhengyun to get out of the carriage. Instead, she bent down and got out of the carriage and told the coachman: "Send Mrs. Zheng back home."

Zhengyun looked at the word "Lanyuan" and felt confused again.

 Yesterday's update will be added today, I hope you can forgive me.
