Chapter 9 Returning home

Gao Huan and others had a hearty meal at a wonton stall outside the city, and then went to the Jinyiwei Yamen for business.

Gao Huan and others met Cao Zheng of Qianhu who had been waiting here for a long time in front of the Yamen.

Cao Zheng stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, looked down at the rivers and lakes for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and said: "This trip to Fuzhou was performed well, it not only mediated the dispute between the Qingcheng faction and the Fuwei Escort Bureau"

, and you have shown the majesty of our Jin Yiwei. When the commander heard about this, he also praised you very much."

Jiang Huhai blushed when he heard this, and silently looked at Gao Huan beside him. Seeing that Gao Huan deliberately acted like it had nothing to do with him, he had no choice but to accept the credit against his conscience.

He said: "Your Excellency, you are too generous. Everything you did in your humble position was just part of your job. It's really not worth mentioning."

"The cautious and cautious nature of your boy has really not changed at all."

Cao Zheng nodded to Jianghuhai with a smile, and then asked about something that concerned him a lot: "Are the rumors about the evil sword manual true?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huhai stepped aside and let Lin Pingzhi out, saying: "This man's name is Lin Pingzhi. He and Lin Zhennan from the Fuwei Escort Bureau have both learned the evil sword manual, but as far as I know, the father and son's martial arts skills

He is mediocre, and it is difficult for him to reach the realm of elegance, otherwise he would not be forced to the point where his family is almost destroyed by the mere Qingcheng sect."

"oh"

When Cao Zheng heard this, he seemed a little disappointed and said: "Go back and give the sword manual to Shen Qiancheng and file it in the warehouse."

Hearing this, Jiang Huhai quickly took out the secret manual of the sword to ward off evil spirits from his arms, and took the initiative to hand it over to Cao Zheng, saying: "This is the sword manual to ward off evil spirits. Please take a look at it first."

Cao Zheng was very satisfied with Jiang Huhai's performance, nodded approvingly, and immediately reached out to take the evil-fighting sword manual. Seeing that the evil-fighting sword manual in his hand was a simple book, he started to read it casually. In fact, he was just

After a general glance, he saw that the sword moves in the book were ordinary and without any subtlety. He couldn't help but curled his lips, closed the book, and said: "It's been a hard journey, go to the Yamen for interrogation, and then go back to your homes after the interrogation. You can wait.

It’s a three-day holiday, and it won’t be too late to come back on duty after the holiday.”

This so-called interrogation is actually nothing more than a serious formality.

Everyone entered the Yamen one by one to be interrogated. During this period, Yu Qing even took out the five hundred taels of silver notes from his arms with a playful smile, and took the initiative to hand it over to Cao Zheng, saying: "Sir, I have gained a lot from this trip to Fuzhou. This is a special tribute."

For you."

Cao Zheng took advantage of the situation and put the banknote in his arms, but he did not forget to say some high-sounding words, saying: "When you go out to do things, you must know how to act according to your ability. You must know that it is not easy for the common people. You must not do anything to bully the people. If you

You have ruined the reputation of our Jin Yiwei. Even if I can spare you, the commander will never let you go."

When Yu Qing heard this, he immediately recounted what he had encountered at the Fulai Inn, focusing particularly on his initiative to reimburse the waiter for tea.

After hearing this, Cao Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "A true man should act like this."

After being interrogated in the Yamen, Gao Huan and others left one after another.

Cao Shaoqin made two copies of the action record of this trip to Fuzhou. One copy was handed over to Jinyiwei and the other to Dongchang. After both parties checked it, it could be archived.

After Gao Huan left the Yamen with Lin Pingzhi, he was not in a hurry to return home. Instead, he rode out of the city and went to the wonton stall to retrieve the cassocks that were temporarily stored here.

Gao Huan silently put the cassock close to his body, breathed a long sigh of relief with lingering fear, and said: "Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Lin Pingzhi glanced at the sword manual for warding off evil spirits and frowned: "Master, do you really plan to teach the sword manual for warding off evil spirits to that eunuch named Cao Shaoqin?"

Gao Huan pondered for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "First give him a set of fake sword manuals. As for this real sword manual, there is no need to rush it. Let's see how he performs in the future."

Gao Huan said, turning his head to look at Lin Pingzhi and said: "You already know my identity. When I return to Beijing this time, will you return home with me?"

Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi nodded almost without thinking and said: "This return home is of great significance. Since master wants to find out the real culprit behind the scenes that pushed you into the water, how can he not have helpers by his side? Disciple is by his side.

We may be able to help you.”

"That's fine."

Gao Huan seemed quite calm about returning home. The reason why he asked this question was mainly because he was worried that the spoiled Lin Pingzhi would not be able to accept the sarcastic remarks from the servants in the mansion.

After the master and apprentice reached an agreement, they rode horses side by side towards Shen's Mansion.

The two of them walked to the door of Shen's mansion, but saw that the door was tightly closed, and there was not even a ghost in front of the door.

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and thought to himself: "It seems that Master's situation in the Shen Mansion is far worse than I imagined."

Only a few people knew about Gao Huan's return to Beijing today. The head of the family, Shen Yan, knew about it, and his cousin Guo Cong also knew about it. However, mother-in-law Miao and Shen Rushuang knew nothing about it. Both of them had been in purgatory for a long time.

, In addition, when Gao Huan was away from home, he never exchanged letters with Shen Rushuang, so the two women knew nothing about his itinerary.

Gao Huan led Lin Pingzhi into Shen's Mansion through the corner gate, and then personally led his mount to the stable to feed him fodder.

The groom looked like an old god and had no intention of stepping forward to help.

It wasn't until Gao Huan and Lin Pingzhi appeared in the back house together that Miao and Shen Rushuang learned about Gao Huan's return from their servants.

Although Shen Rushuang quite rejected this arranged marriage, out of the virtue of being a lady, she still made the choice to go out with her mother to welcome Gao Huan back home.

Mrs. Miao stood in front of the screen wall of the back house with a smile and looked at Gao Huan silently. After a long time, she frowned and said: "We haven't seen him for many days, but Cheng Wu has become more and more heroic."

"He has a restrained temperament, and there is a faint heroic spirit between his brows. He is really becoming more and more otherworldly."

The mother-in-law really liked her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him, and Mrs. Miao did not hesitate to praise him.

Miao's Zhuyu was in front. When Shen Rushuang looked at Gao Huan, she also felt that he seemed different than before, but she couldn't tell what was different. She just felt that Gao Huan's temperament had changed and he had become intimidating.

.

During this trip to Fuzhou, Gao Huan made three attacks in total. First, he seriously injured Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, and then killed two senior martial artists who had long been famous in the world. During this trip to Fuzhou, Gao Huan

It had a profound impact on my state of mind.

He is no longer the down-and-out scholar who allowed himself to be manipulated by others. He has developed a certain ability to protect himself, so he has become more and more confident.

Miao held Gao Huan's hand and talked for a while, then turned her eyes to Lin Pingzhi and said, "Who is this?"

"His name is Lin Pingzhi, and he is the young escort chief of the Fuwei Escort. Because he was grateful to his son-in-law for helping the Fuwei Escort out of trouble, he insisted on becoming my disciple. This time he came with me to the capital to see the world," Gao Huan said. .

"oh"

Miao smiled and patted the back of Gao Huan's hand, and solemnly told him: "Once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. Since you have become a teacher, you must take on the responsibility of teaching him and solving his doubts."

"yes."

Gao Huan nodded in agreement.

Miao asked someone to arrange a guest room for Lin Pingzhi in Gao Huan's yard, and then said to Gao Huan and Shen Rushuang: "It's getting late, go back to your room and rest early."

"yes."
