(PS: The second update is delivered. Also: I received a notice today and there will be a local power outage tomorrow, so I can only try my best to update tomorrow's updates at night.)

I slept hard for a while, and the next morning, Mr. Zhang was pulled out of the quilt by Xiong Hu. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang was sleeping in clothes this time, but he didn't scare Xiong Hu out. Xiong Hu blushed and showed his slutty to Master Zhang, who was sleeping in his sleepy eyes, saying, "It's all you. I tricked me here last night and said to discuss how to save my father, but you're fine. As soon as I came in, I slept like a dead pig, which made me wait for a night! This time I was miserable. When I went home later, my elder brother and second brother would definitely punish me to kneel in front of the ancestor tablet for a day!"

"I'm really sorry, I'm really too sleepy. I didn't mean to make you wait for a night." Master Zhang apologized repeatedly and struggled to get up from the bed. Xiong Hu said with a red face: "Forget it, I heard Zhang Shitou say that you were poisoned by Mantuola. For you are involuntarily, I'll spare your life for the time being. Get up and wash up, discuss how to save my father. I'm going back."

Master Zhang agreed repeatedly, quickly rinsed his mouth with brushing his teeth and agarwood toothpaste (note), wiped his face quickly, and asked Zhang Shitou to call for breakfast, sit with Xiong Hu while eating and talking. Master Zhang asked, "Miss Xiong, please introduce me to your father Xiong Tingbi, Mr. Xiong, and those reliable friends in the court? I have already planned to contact them first, so as to strengthen our strength, and it is more convenient to save your father."

"My father's friend in the court?" Xiong Hu replied with a blushing face: "My father has a very bad temper. Like my elder brother, he always scolds people. He has almost no friends in the court... What do you say? Like daughters, like fathers? Do you want to ask for a beating?" Mr. Zhang, who was heard by Xiong Hu, quickly apologized. Xiong Hu continued: "And only a few friends have fallen and lost power, so our brother and sister are in such a difficult situation in the capital."

"There is nothing?" Master Zhang frowned and asked. Xiong Hu thought for a while and replied, "Is there any one? He is the head of the Ministry of Works' military farming, named Xu Eryi. He is very upright and honest, but his official position is not very good, and he can hardly speak in the court. By the way, there is also a Han Du, who was the former chief minister of the court. Unfortunately, before my father committed the crime, he had resigned because his disciple violated the national law, and now he has returned to his hometown."

"Dong!" Master Zhang fell on the table and smiled bitterly: "Isn't this just a waste of time? What can a former chief minister of the court who has left the Taiwan Strait and a head of the Ministry of Works in charge of military farming?

"Can I blame me?" Xiong Hu blushed and retorted: "If my father was as treacherous and slick as you, would he have no friends and followers in the court? He would have been framed by Ye Xianggao and Wang Huazhen and imprisoned? We brothers and sisters were in the capital, and we would not even have a place to complain and seek justice?"

"Forget it, there is a job that is better than not. At least he can help him with a few memorials at that time." Master Zhang was too lazy to argue with Xiong Hu, and then stirred rice porridge with chopsticks and thought: "So, I can no longer rely on others to save your father, so I can only find a way by myself. But what should I use?"

"Young Master, the yamen is heading south. Don't come in if you have any reason or money - let's just give the money." Zhang Shitou suggested: "We will give you more silver to Nine Thousand Sui. If he is happy, he might release Mr. Xiong."

"It's better to be that simple." Master Zhang shook his head and said, "I had already tested his words when I went to Jiuqiansui's house last time. He seemed to hate Lord Xiong to the core and had to kill Lord Xiong. In this case, it would be impossible to just give money."

"Eunuch Wei hates my father to the bone?" Xiong Hu asked in surprise: "No, my father and Eunuch Wei have never celebrated a festival? Moreover, my father belonged to the Chu Party in the court. Like Eunuch Wei, they are both mortal enemies with the Donglin Party. The last time my father was imprisoned was the censor of the Donglin Party. Why should Eunuch Wei hate my father?"

In fact, Mr. Zhang had asked Xiao Chuan about this question, and Xiao Chuan gave three answers. One was that Wang Huazhen betrayed the Donglin Party and defected to Wei Zhongxian. The other was that Yang Lian, who had tried to protect Xiong Tingbi in the early stage, was a thorn in Wei Zhongxian's eyes, which caused Wei Zhongxian to hate Xiong Tingbi. The third reason was that after Xiong Tingbi was imprisoned, he did something that made Wei Zhongxian very angry. Wei Zhongxian then made up his mind to kill Xiong Tingbi.

After Master Zhang explained these reasons to Xiong Hu, Xiong Hu shouted angrily: "Nonsense! How is this possible? My father has been in the Heavenly Prison since the second year of Tianqi. Even if he wants to offend Eunuch Wei, he has no chance. How could he still provoke Eunuch Wei? Moreover, my elder brother went to the Heavenly Prison to visit my father several times, and my father also told my elder brother that we should find a way to establish a good relationship with Eunuch Wei's people and ask Eunuch Wei to come forward to avenge him."

"Have your father really said this?" Master Zhang was shocked. Xiong Hu gave Master Zhang a blank look, lowered his head and said with a red face: "If my father hadn't said this, you are not the godson of Eunuch Wei, I would have forgiven you for your Linqing Wharf so easily? If you don't say anything else, just because you want to do something wrong to me, I want to chop you!"

"So you are with me for this?" Master Zhang asked a little aggrievedly. Xiong Hu's pink face turned redder. He wanted to admit it with a stubborn voice, but when he saw Master Zhang's expression was disappointed, his heart softened and said the truth, "It's not all. It's mainly because you have become much more honest after coming to the capital and have helped my family a lot, so I forgive you."

"That's good, at least your impression of me has improved a little." Master Zhang smiled bitterly with a self-deprecating smile. Xiong Hu lowered his head lower, but regretted telling the truth just now. Fortunately, Master Zhang is not the kind of petty person. After a moment of loss, Master Zhang began to think about it again and murmured: "Since your father still wants to ask Jiu Qiansui to save him, it proves that your father himself has offended Jiu Qiansui completely, but what does this Jiu Qiansui hate your father the most? If you can figure out this reason, maybe you can resolve the hatred between Jiu Qiansui and your father, and let Jiu Qiansui take back his determination to kill your father..."

Upon hearing Mr. Zhang muttering here, Xiong Hu's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his head and urged: "Yes, go and ask Eunuch Nine Thousand Sui, why did he hate my father so much." Mr. Zhang shook his head decisively and replied: "No, it's useless to ask. Nine Thousand Sui may not tell me the truth."

"What should I do?" Xiong Hu asked anxiously. Master Zhang rolled his eyes and said with a sneer: "It's okay, someone can help us figure out what Jiu Qiansui was thinking."

"Who?" Xiong Hu asked in surprise. Master Zhang smiled even more lewdly and replied: "Wei Liangqing, and Fu Yingxing. - Shitou, you will give them two invitations later. I will say that in order to celebrate the palace examination, I will ask them to go to Suhuaiyuan tonight for a night."

"Okay." Zhang Shitou agreed. Xiong Hu blushed and pinched his knuckles, and snorted coldly: "Su Huaiyuan? Do you think I don't know where that is?"

"There's no way. I went to save your father. I never went to those places... I'll spare my life! I swear I've never been there, and I will never touch other women tonight!"

……………………

It was decided to take out the news from Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing. Master Zhang's master and servant immediately took action. He went to Wei Mansion to send two invitations to Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing, and then went to see the house and bought a house. He worked hard until the evening to rush to Su Huaiyuan to prepare to entertain Wei and Fu. But when he arrived at Su Huaiyuan, Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing had already hugged women in the brothel and drank wine. When he saw Master Zhang, Wei Liangqing immediately shouted: "Brother Zhang, you are not worth it. You agreed to treat him. Why did you come later than us guests?" Fu Yingxing also shouted: "Yes, three glasses of wine can't be missed!"

"The two brothers have taught you a very good lesson. I should punish you." Master Zhang was full of apologies and quickly filled three glasses of wine and drank it all in one go. Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing clapped their hands together to applaud. Wei Liangqing greeted: "Brother Zhang, sit down. This morning we two brothers were discussing to invite you to drink flower wine and celebrate your high school treasures, but I didn't expect you to hand in the invitation first. It was a coincidence. Haha, brother, you have to teach your brothers a good trick tonight. The Ice and Fire Nine Heavens you taught last time was very fun, but I was a little tired of it."

Fu Yingxing also smiled and said, "There is another good news to tell Brother Zhang that when my uncle went home today, he discussed with Cui Chengxiu and the others. He planned to recommend you to be a editor of the Hanlin Academy. This is an official who can only be the top scorer after passing the exam. Good guy, he will be from the sixth rank at the beginning. In a few years, he will probably be in the cabinet and become the prime minister."

"Thank you for your cultivation, and for your two brothers' favor." Although Mr. Zhang didn't care about the size of his official position, he still smiled and thanked him with a smile. He took the initiative to take out the silver notes of 200 taels, held them in front of Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing in both hands, and smiled: "Two brothers, I have a little intention, I don't respect you, I hope the two brothers will accept it with a smile."

"Oh, brother, what are you doing? You're so polite. You invite us to drink wine and deliver things. How can you be so embarrassed about this? "We are polite, brothers?" Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing were polite, and their hands couldn't wait to take the silver notes, and they couldn't even close their mouths. They couldn't wait to ask Mr. Zhang to raise their glasses and drink. Mr. Zhang wanted to make them dizzy and make a cliché, so he agreed and kept urging them to drink. He made jokes, and he kept coaxing Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing to make laughter. He really treated Mr. Zhang as his brother.

After drinking for half an hour, Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing also had a 60-70% alcohol appetite and became more talkative. Seeing that the time was coming, Master Zhang took the opportunity to say, "Two brothers, I invite you here today. In addition to celebrating the palace examination, there is actually another question to ask the two brothers. I hope they will give you advice."

"Brother, why are you polite?" Wei Liangqing waved his hand while burping, and Fu Yingxing also shook his head and said, "What's the problem? Even if you ask, as long as your brother knows, I will tell you."

"Brother Wei, Brother Fu, I want to ask why Xiong Tingbi offended his godfather?" Master Zhang asked in a deep voice: "Why does the godfather have to kill Xiong Tingbi?"

"What are you asking about this?" Wei Liangqing was stunned for a moment. But Fu Yingxing turned his eyes and immediately smiled lewdly: "I understand. Brother Zhang must have fallen in love with Xiong Tingbi's daughter, so come to ask for news for her? I've heard from Brother Yang Liu say a long time ago, brother, you have a little hookup with Xiong Tingbi's youngest daughter, how about it? Have you gotten into a chang?"

"Brother Fu is indeed wise and hit the nail on the head." Master Zhang was very pleased and replied frankly: "Yes, brother, I helped her a little bit to get that little beauty. Two brothers, you won't let my brother do this good thing, right?"

"Success, fulfillment, success, success." Wei Liangqing, Fu Yingxing and Xiong Tingbi had no grudges and grudges, and they were naturally not afraid of Master Zhang's ruthlessness. At that moment, Wei Liangqing replied: "I have heard of that old guy Xiong Tingbi offended my father, but I don't know what the situation is. But brother, don't worry, although I don't know, my brother-in-law Yang Liuqi must know all the details. I will ask him for him another day and come back to tell you."

"Yang Liuqi? Wei Zhongxian's son-in-law?" Master Zhang's eyes rolled and he quickly suggested: "Brother Wei, Brother Fu, then let's just invite Brother Yang over now and ask him what he wants?"

"Now?" Wei Liangqing was stunned again. Looking at the sky outside the window, Wei Liangqing smiled and said, "No, I will definitely not be able to call you now. My poor brother-in-law, probably I'm punished to kneel in my sister's room now!" Fu Yingxing also smiled and nodded, "Yes, poor brother-in-law, my cousin has been dissatisfied with him these days. If he knew that he dared to come to such a place, he would be punished to kneel for three days and three nights!"

"Hey, why is it another tigress? But it's not a surprise. If you marry Wei Zhongxian's daughter, you won't be able to get tracheitis." Master Zhang murmured in his heart, and said disappointedly: "Oh, so that's it. Then let's forget about this for the time being. It's better to demolish ten towers than to break a family. We can't let Brother Yang and his wife get in a bad relationship."

"Yes, yes, that's the reason." Wei Liangqing and Fu Yingxing nodded together, and Wei Liangqing smiled again: "Brother, don't worry, I'll give you a clear way - if you want to talk from my brother-in-law, buy more deer whips and tiger whips to him another day, and keep him happy to tell you all. Haha, my sister will definitely thank you too."

"Deer whip and tiger whip?" Master Zhang's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Brother Wei, Brother Fu, then, is it because of that matter?"

"What else can I do besides that?" Wei Liangqing shrugged and smiled, "Actually, my brother-in-law and my sister had a good relationship with each other before, and they were not bad to us brothers. However, in recent years, my brother-in-law was too busy and tired to help my father review official documents, so he performed a little worse and worse. Of course, his relationship with my sister has become worse and worse."

"Hey, Brother Wei, why didn't you say it earlier? I have a way!" Master Zhang slapped the table and shouted: "Brother Wei, Brother Fu, don't be stunned. Go and invite Brother Yang Liu to come here. I will teach him to help him get along with each other and keep the couple as reconciled! He also keeps Brother Yang Liu no longer angry from now on!"
