On Zhao Jing's slender jade-like finger, there was a plum blossom ring, interlaced with golden threads and silver threads. Her lips curved up in a charming smile, revealing an unruly expression. With the corner of her eyes slightly raised, Zhao Jing coldly said, "Did you see it clearly?"
The attendant was shocked. "This is …" Is Owner's... It's the owner's keepsake! "
"Why aren't you looking for your boss? If you neglect me, you know the consequences! " Zhao Jing's body leaned against the table as his fingertips tapped the table. He glanced at the stiff servant. "What are you still standing there for?" Get out of here! "
"Yes, yes, yes!" The manservant who had been cursing previously put down the broom in his hand, "But our boss went to the Beijing prefecture's yamen and argued with those criminals!"
Zhao Jing rubbed the space between his brows. "Jing Zhao Prefecture?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The servant felt a little awkward. His arms were hanging down and his palms were constantly rubbing his thighs. Clearly, he was a bit nervous.
Zhao Jing raised his eyelids and looked at the cold sweat on the servant's forehead. He glanced at Li Yiheng impatiently, "Go to the Capital Prefecture and take a look. If you can help, it would be for the best. I hope that the Capital Estate can handle this matter impartially." Saying this, she stared meaningfully at Li Yiheng, deliberately emphasizing the four words "impartially", "Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Yiheng was a smart person, and immediately bowed, "Your subordinate understands!" He immediately left.
"Thank you, esteemed customer!" The servant had already tidied up the cabinet and invited Zhao Jing in to take a seat. He immediately served the tea and pastries.
Zhao Jing had always liked sweet foods. Wei Shuge had tested the pastries with silver needles. Only after she was certain that they weren't poisonous would she dare to let Zhao Jing eat them. Needless to say, the pastries in Fanhua Ramadan were even more delicious than those in Full Moon Restaurant. They melted immediately when placed in the mouth, but they were sweet and not greasy. They did not reek. They were truly superb!
"What is this?" Zhao Jing asked.
The attendant laughed, "This was specially instructed by Boss. Unless an esteemed guest arrives, you are not allowed to take it out. "It was said that this cake was created by the mother of the owner. It has a hundred flowers in it, along with the nectar of the flowers. While it has the fragrance of a hundred flowers, it is sweet but not greasy." With that, the attendant became a little embarrassed, "This little one only heard that, esteemed customer, don't blame this little one for speaking too much!"
Zhao Jing nodded. "No wonder it's so sweet and delicious. It's actually Hundred Blossom Honey!" He then asked, "What does Boss usually like to do?"
"The boss is not in good health and does not come often. If there is anything, he would only ask his subordinate to inform him. Unless it's a big matter, we rarely see our boss! Therefore, I don't know what boss usually likes to do, but I'll be taking my leave! " The attendant saluted. Seemingly worried that he would reveal too much, he immediately left.
"You've got a pretty tight tongue!" Wei Shuge said.
Zhao Jing smiled. "Do you think everyone can get close to Wen Rusheng?" Can't you see? He recited everything from back to front and had already recited it eight hundred times in his mind. He could not find a single mistake. Ever since I obtained this ring, Wen Rusheng has bestowed me with the right to be your esteemed guest. She looked at the exquisite pastries in her hands. They had been made into all kinds of flowers, and they were indeed very lifelike. They were even more exquisite than the sculptures of the imperial palace's chefs. It was quite rare.
After about two hours, a familiar cough sounded from the outside, accompanied by hurried footsteps that sounded as they walked in.
Li Yiheng was the first to enter the room. When he saw Zhao Jing, he bowed and greeted him, "Young Master Wen, Young Master Wen has returned."
Right after he finished speaking, Wen Rusheng's voice came from the outside, "This matter shall end here. No one is allowed to bring it up again in the future! "Cough, cough, cough …" Wen Rusheng was still dressed in the same white robe as before. When she entered the door, she had a faint fragrance of hidden plum blossoms. However, if one took a closer look, they would be unable to smell anything. The faint fragrance of the plum blossoms caused one's heart to throb even more.
"Thank you, Brother Zijing!" As soon as Wen Rusheng arrived, he immediately bowed and saluted towards Zhao Jing. "If it weren't for brother Zijing, I'm afraid that I would never have been able to leave the Jing Zhao Prefecture's yamen." "Thank you, Brother Zijing, for your help. We are unable to repay your kindness!"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Jing quickly helped him up. "It's not that I'm helping you out, but it's just out of friendship. If you're being so polite, then I don't know what to say!"
The two of them sat facing each other. Wen Rusheng's face was pale to the extreme, and he continuously coughed, looking very weak. Wen Rusheng still had that look of disgust on her face as she handed over the pill worriedly. In the end, she raised her head and swallowed the pill. After drinking a few mouthfuls of warm water, Wen Rusheng's expression finally eased up a little, but his breathing was still somewhat hurried.
The crowd at the scene was choked with sobs, "The yamen's doors are wide open. If you have reason or money, don't come in." It's clear that we were the ones who suffered the injustice, yet, we were beaten up by others. Is there no justice in this world? " As he said this, the corners of the surrounding people's eyes became moist. At this time, they were already beginning to shed tears, "Those officials, release them on the spot!"
Zhao Jing ate his pastries and looked at the bruises on the face. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Guard Li, what's going on?"
Li Yi heng said, "Young master, please tell us that when this subordinate arrived, the Prefecture Overseer of the Jing Zhao Prefecture had already captured Young Master Wen and his servant, saying that they were making false accusations and creating rumors. [If you dare to lie to me again, I will tell everyone about it …] Sighing lightly, Li Yiheng continued, "It was a while before I let Young Master Wen and the rest off the hook!"
Since he was the old master, he was naturally from the Regent's Estate. Who told Dongfang Wenming to be Zhao Jing's father? Who could be more suitable to be a fool than Dongfang Wenming?
"You've already taken care of the Jing Zhao Estate over at the Sian Pen Pavilion?" Zhao Jing knitted his brows slightly. "No wonder he has always occupied the position of reverend within the palace. I presume that he has given these people quite a bit of sweetness over the years." "Although Fang Hua Zhai is quite famous, but a strong dragon won't pressure a snake on the ground, I'm afraid you guys are going to suffer a loss!"
"Sir Liu, can you think of a way to help us?" With a 'putong' sound, the scene kneeled before Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing frowned slightly as he exchanged a glance with Wei Shuge.
"There's no need for this, our young master is a loyal friend. Since Young Master Wen is in trouble, then Young Master Wen must be able to help. If it's not possible for us to come up with a plan, then at least we can consider it!"
"Scene, you're too insensible!" Wen Rusheng clutched her chest as she panted heavily. The young man's face was as white as paper, and there was an unforgettable grievance between his brows. It was as faint as the mist of a distant mountain, making one's heart ache especially when they looked at it.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Jing looked at him worriedly. "Since you're acting this way, why didn't you ask me for help?" Didn't you say we were friends? Since you're a friend, do you really think that I, Liu Zijing, am someone you can't be trusted with? Wen Rusheng, since you don't consider me your friend, then I have nothing to say! " She placed the scented sachet and plum blossom ring on the table, "I'll return the original number, but I won't accept this!"
As the sound of his voice faded, Zhao Jing turned and departed.
"Brother Zijing?" "Cough, cough, cough …" Wen Rusheng became anxious and stood up immediately. "Brother Zi Jing!" "Don't you …" With anger and anxiety on her mind, Wen Rusheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her pure white dress instantly bloomed like a blood plum flower. The color of the proud snow and red plum blossoms was extremely shocking.
Fortunately, Li Jun held him up quickly, otherwise Wen Rusheng would have fallen face first onto the ground.
"Wen Rusheng?" Zhao Jing was astonished. When he came back to his senses, Wei Shuge had already grasped Wen Rusheng's wrist.
Wen Rusheng laid her body on the table. Her initially pale lips had already been dyed red with blood. It seemed as if his pale face had some unconcealable bewitching charm. He gloomily looked at Zhao Jing. "It's not that I don't want you to help me, it's just that I don't want to implicate you!" This Brushstroke Xuan was a reverend person in the palace. He might even implicate Brother Zijing in coming to the government office. "I, Wen Rusheng, feel that I am worthy of looking down on the heaven and earth. I don't want to owe others too much, so …"
"Friends don't call each other's names, just asking for help!" Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back, an extremely good smile on his face. Her young and tender face and slightly raised lips made her look like a beautiful porcelain doll against the pure white of her skin.
Wen Rusheng stared at her, dazed for a moment. He was used to seeing handsome faces, but he had never seen such a harmless face. He only made people feel joy and couldn't help but want to get close to him. There was a warm March sun in her eyes, and her smile was like a blossoming peach flower that filled the sky. In an instant, it turned into the color of pear blossoms again, and that night, the snow turned into a calamity.
Unfortunately …
"If you can trust me, I'll help you!" Zhao Jing thought for a moment. "Not only can it help you get back your justice, it can also help Fang Hua Zhai turn the tables around. From now on, they will no longer be bullied!"
"Really?" The scenery was great.
Wen Rusheng was still coughing, but it seemed as if she was unable to calm down after holding in her breath for so long.
Zhao Jing thought for a moment and then slowly walked to Wen Rusheng's side. Following his memory of the unenlightened manner and techniques of the East, he slowly stroke Wen Rusheng's back, helping him to calm down. "I, Liu Zijing, will never take back the water that I pour out when I say it!" As long as you nod your head, I can make you feel proud tomorrow! "
"Tomorrow?" Wen Rusheng felt a bit better. She finally straightened her body and looked at Zhao Jing in astonishment. "Brother Jing, just who are you?"
"My ancestors became an official in the imperial court, so they still have to give my Liu family some face. Since I have some friends in the imperial palace, I can handle some matters!" When Zhao Jing saw that Wen Rusheng had gotten better, he withdrew his hand. "Then, are you prepared, Brother Wen?" If you nod your head, I will do as you say! "
Wen Rusheng gave a wry smile. "I, too, was once …" He paused, "I didn't expect the tiger to fall to the bottom of the sun. Thank you, Brother Zijing. Since this is a beautiful occasion, I naturally won't show any respect! If I don't do anything, I'm afraid I won't have any place to stay in the capital for long. In the long run, this trip was inevitable! I don't want to stir up trouble, but I need to have the ability to protect the people around me and protect my ancestors' foundation! I did not think that in the end, I would even lose my Fanhua Temple! "
He struggled to stand up and bowed respectfully towards Zhao Jing. "I'm relying on Brother Zipeng to make the decision. I hope Brother Zipeng can help me!" "Wen Rusheng will never forget the great kindness and kindness that you have shown me. In the future, if Brother Jing has any difficulties, as long as you say the word, I, Wen Rusheng, will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"
Zhao Jing smiled meaningfully. "You saved my life, so I'll take care of your family's foundation. Now that you think about it, I'm the one who earned it." To go through fire and water was too important. To be friends was to have a heart of friendship. This was the best! What did Brother Wen think? "
Wen Rusheng smiled and said, "Alright!"
However, Zhao Jingxu's hand subconsciously curled into a fist with a smile still hanging on his lips.
