Chapter 177 Everything is fine

In the capital, Ouyang Zheng did not move a house, and still lived in the house that Xia Rui rented for Xu Jie, not far from the inner city gate.

There is no free place for the house in the inner city. Ouyang Zheng still needs to wait for the transfer of officials from the capital to be vacant. However, Ouyang Zheng didn't care about these things.

Xu Jie returned to Beijing, some people were happy and some were worried, and some didn’t care much.

Fang Xing, the commander of the Xuanfu Camp in the border town, and the captain Zhenwei, was taken directly to the Ministry of Justice, changed into prison uniforms, and moved into the Ministry of Justice prison.

Xu Jie was also in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Xu Jie was not imprisoned when he entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but Ouyang Zheng arranged this way. The power in the capital was complicated, and there were no matter how many people died in the prison. Xu Jie, Xu Zhong, Yun Shuhuan and Xu Hu all went to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and acted as prisoners.

Ouyang Zheng was really no one available, and he didn't know who was trustworthy. Ouyang Zheng, the Minister of Justice, seemed to be the chief official of the entire Ministry of Justice, but he could only ask his disciples to help guard the prison and avoid killing Fang Xing and others.

Xie Fang came straight from the Censorate Yamen to the Ministry of Justice. Although the Censorate Yamen also had a prison, there were few real servants, which were much worse than the Ministry of Justice.

Ouyang Zheng, Xie Fang and Xu Jie talked for a long time, and the whole story was almost done. Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang hurried to the prison again and talked with Fang Xing for a long time.

Xie Fang hurried to the Censorate's Office again, preparing the file, writing memorials, and preparing to meet the emperor.

Xu Jie and Ouyang Zheng sat opposite each other and heard Xu Jie speak, "Teacher, power, the students have only now truly understood the truth."

When Ouyang Zheng heard this, he smiled faintly and asked, "Tell me, listen."

Xu Jie corrected his body and said, "Teacher, the word power is often confused. Only when the students have reached this day can they know the difference between power and power. There is a great difference between power. Power is in hand, but not necessarily power. Just like the teacher now, it seems that power is in hand, but there is no power at all. It is like the teacher who once had power in the court but had no power at all. I don't know what the students' opinions are, what does the teacher think?"

Ouyang Zheng sighed slightly when he heard this and nodded and replied, "Wenyuan, you are really a genius. As I seemed to be powerful in the court and the country back then, but they all rely on His Majesty's trust. Just like the child was favored by his elders, other children naturally respected him very much. If he leaves His Majesty, I will be worthless. Even those who seem to be not so favored but have many children support him. This is the difference, it is Wenyuan's opinion. I didn't figure it out until after Dajiang County."

Xu Jie nodded and replied, "Teacher, if there is something wrong with the nobles and foreign relatives, they will often chase and kill them. If they retreat, they will be intercepted by experts in the martial arts world. When the teacher encounters trouble, there is no one around him. This situation really needs to be changed."

In fact, the deep meaning of what Xu Jie and Ouyang Zheng said was already obvious. The meaning was to make Ouyang Zheng cultivate his own power and his helpers. This kind of cultivation was different from the assistants who Ouyang Zheng chose to do things at the time.

This matter can be said in one word, that is, "forming a clique for personal gain". People like Ouyang Zheng obviously do not make private gains, but forming a clique is inevitable.

Obviously, as a child of an orthodox sage, Ouyang Zheng was disdainful of such gang formations. The sage said that a gentleman would be friendly but not a party. That is, he would make a gentleman put official affairs first and pay attention to his family, country and the world. If he formed a party, he would be forced to make private contributions.

But everything has two sides. If a person really wants to accomplish a big thing, how can he be his own strength? It must be someone to help him, and there must be a community of interests together. The word "group" is not good, but the meaning of "grouping" is inevitable, whether it is public or private.

After hearing Xu Jie's words, Ouyang Zheng laughed and said, "Haha...it's right or right. Wenyuan, how do you see me and Xie Fang?"

Xu Jie understood and understood that his teacher was more understanding. He just formed a clan. If Ouyang Zheng could understand it more, didn’t Ouyang Zheng and Xie Fang just formed a clan?

Xu Jie said again: "Teacher, the Ministry of Justice is the Law Office and the yamen for punishing punishment. After all, it is the state violence office. Why not?"

Ouyang Zheng could understand, frowned and thought, and nodded even more.

After a while, he replied: "Violence... Maybe some people are really suitable to use violence to fight violence."

Ouyang Zheng is no longer so arrogant and no longer so pedantic.

After hearing Ouyang Zheng's words, Xu Jie got up: "Teacher, I won't say much. The second uncle is in the yamen and thinks that nothing can happen. The student goes back and sits with Wenfeng."

Ouyang Zheng nodded and raised his hand slightly.

When she got home, Xia Rui had arrived early and had been waiting for a long time, and was chatting with Ouyang Wenfeng.

When Xu Kang saw Xu Jie enter the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, the calligraphy and painting merchant has just arrived again. It has been out of stock for many days. This time the offer price has doubled. Does the young master still have any inventory?"

Xu Jie asked after hearing this, "Even the people who sell calligraphy and paintings know that I'm back?"

"Isn't it? The young master just came back yesterday, and this morning the person selling calligraphy and painting came to his house."

Xu Jie was a little surprised, surprised at the capital, and the speed of the news spread beyond imagination.

"There are some manuscripts in the study, pressing them under the paperweights of the case. Just go and read some out." Xu Jie replied, and the person was already walking into the hall.

Xu Kang nodded, followed two more steps and said, "I was embarrassed to disturb you yesterday. There have been many invitations at home recently, including those from the Zhulin Poetry Club, those from Zhaixing Tower, and those from everyone who asked people to send them, and one... Some of them were sent by the servants from Princess Rong's Mansion. Later, I and the young master both went to the study."

Xu Jie didn't care in front of him. Suddenly, he heard that Princess Rong also sent someone to send an invitation. Xu Jie kept walking, and his face was full of doubts, wondering whether he was indifferent to the Princess Rong, he had never said three words. How could Princess Rong come to invite him?

Xu Jie had already entered the hall with doubts. Xia Rui and Ouyang Wenfeng both laughed and stood up. The three of them had no greetings. Then they heard Xia Rui laugh and said, "Wenyuan, when you leave, I don't want to have a tea or a meal. I just feel that this life has no meaning at all."

Xu Jie looked at the prince with scars on his face and smiled and said, "Don't you have a few beautiful wives and concubines who are so happy? Where can I still have no food or food..."

Ouyang Wenfeng smiled from the side and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, you don't know. Brother Cheng comes to the door a few times a day and always comes back disappointed. It really means that he doesn't want to eat or not."

Xu Jie looked at Xia Rui again and saw that Xia Rui had such a resentment. Xu Jie felt cold all over. Then he heard Xu Jie say again: "Brother Juemin, it's still a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine, and he has endless fun."

But at this moment, a girl entered through the side door, wearing a light blue dress, not so confident, seemed a little shy, and had a little excitement on her face. It is said that a girl of this age should have walked into the hall where three young men were.

But as soon as the girl came in, she heard Xu Jie's words "A beautiful wife and concubine are so fun" and the expression on her face turned dark again.

The three of them turned to see at the same time. Xia Rui only glanced at it, and turned his head and smiled meaningfully. It was obvious that he had always been running to this house for a while, and had talked a lot with Ouyang Wenfeng and knew a little about it.

Ouyang Wenfeng hurried forward to greet him and smiled and said, "Why are sister coming out? Please sit down quickly!"

Xu Jie stepped forward to greet him. In the past, when Ouyang Wenqin was dressed like a man, Xu Jieduo was quite casual. Since he left Dajiang County, the two seemed to have become much distant, and they had never seen Ouyang Wenqin's manly dressed again. So Xu Jieduo was kind and thoughtful, and the two had never even talked.

Ouyang Wenqin also gave a serious blessing: "I have met Mr. Xu!"

This response made Xu Jie not know when he said anything. After a moment of holding it in, he said, "Ms. Ouyang is so good lately?"

"Everything is fine, is Mr. Xu's beautiful wife and concubine all good?" Ouyang Wenqin asked.

Xu Jie subconsciously replied: "It's all good, everything is fine."

But after answering this sentence, Xu Jie reacted and hurriedly said, "I am fine myself, everything is fine."

Xia Rui pretended to look around and said, "Hey, Wenfeng, I heard that there is an old locust tree in this house. I haven't seen it yet. Wenfeng takes me to see how?"

Ouyang Wenfeng was stunned when he heard this. The house was big or small, but there were a few locust trees, and there were nothing good to look at, not to mention that the house was all belonged to Brother Cheng. Ouyang Wenfeng said in confusion: "Brother Cheng, what are the things that are good to look at those locust trees..."

Xia Rui didn't say much, but came forward and grabbed Ouyang Wenfeng's hand, walked out, and said, "I haven't seen that locust tree yet. Let's take a look together, let's take a walk..."

Ouyang Wenfeng was pulled out and turned around and said, "Wenyuan, please wait for me for a while. I have something to tell you. The Zhulin Poetry Club invited us to the meeting..."

How could Xu Jie not see Xia Rui's ghost thoughts, but he was happy to see him. The two went out. Xu Jie looked up at Ouyang Wenqin, and then held it in his mouth, saying, "This... Miss Ouyang, are in good health?"

“Everything is OK.”

"Oh, then... Miss Ouyang is in a good mood?"

"fine."

"Oh, that... Miss Ouyang slept well at night?"

Then he saw Ouyang Wenqin get up, and said with a look of an ugly expression: "Xu Wenyuan, ask, what are you going to say?"

Xu Jie was embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Just ask if everything has been fine recently."

"Everything is good, do you have anything else to say?" Ouyang Wenqin seemed a little angry. This woman who can disguise herself as a man to study is not those so-called weak women of ladies.

Xu Jie thought about it and suddenly remembered Ouyang Wenfeng saying that he would go to the Zhulin Poetry Club together, and quickly said, "I just want to ask... if I want to attend the poetry club together, it is Dajiang's Zhulin Poetry Club."

Ouyang Wenqin nodded and said, "Go! When?"

Xu Jie looked around and replied, "Wait, I'll go and ask Wen Feng..."
