Houfu Key Class

The servant replied: "Sir, after passing the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can reach Dali Temple."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Zong Qiyun remembered that it was the place where all the officials were inspected and it was also the place where Zong Zhao could be in charge. He kept shouting, "You can go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, just go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's close, it's close !”

"Yes." As soon as the servant responded, he saw an arrow grazing his cheek and piercing the carriage heavily.

"Puff——" is the sound of an arrow entering the flesh.

The servant opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that his master had been shot in the throat and nailed to the wall of the carriage.

He died on the spot.

"Ah - dead person!!"

…

Xu Wan waited in the room for half an hour and saw Zong Zhao come back clean. He looked no different from usual. There was no blood on him or the smell of blood. He was as calm as if he had just gone out for a walk. .

"Are you done?" Xu Wan stood up and asked him.

Zong Zhao replied: "It's done."

Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. Zong Yan's revenge can be considered avenged. I will find a suitable opportunity in the future and give it to him..."

"I don't plan to make it public anymore." Zong Zhao said.

Xu Wan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you worried that your father-in-law won't be able to bear it when he finds out?"

Zong Zhao said calmly: "The revenge has been avenged, and there is no dirty water on Zong Yan. It doesn't make any difference whether he makes it public or not. Let dad think that this is the truth."

The truth was so painful that he planned to hide it from his parents for the rest of his life.

Xu Wan thought for a while, and it was indeed true. She replied: "Then another person died tonight. What should I do if my father-in-law and mother-in-law become suspicious?"

Zong Zhao said: "I don't admit it."

Xu Wan: "..."

It also makes sense. Even if the old Marquis really has doubts, he can't really doubt Zong Zhao. Wouldn't that mean he blames his own son?

Moreover, based on the old couple's trust in Zong Zhao, they will definitely believe Zong Zhao's explanation.

The next day.

As soon as the old marquis and the old lady got up, they heard the servant come in and report: "Master, another old friend of yours has passed away."

Old Marquis: "???"

The old lady was also confused. She asked, "Why didn't I realize that so many of your old friends died together in the past few days, paying condolences to one family after another?"

The old Marquis suddenly began to worry: "Is it because we are old?"

The old lady stared and hit his arm: "Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about to say in a depressing way? Come on, bah, bah, bah."

The old Marquis obeyed and did as he was told: "Ah, bah, bah, bah..."

Servants: "..."

This is really not treating us as outsiders.

The old Marquis asked again: "Which old friend is it from?"

The servant replied: "He is from a branch of our clan, Zong Qiyun."

"Boom——"

The old lady's hand on the belt loosened and the belt hit the ground heavily.

The old Marquis was startled and asked again: "Who?"

The servant replied again: "Zong Qiyun."

The old marquis looked at the old lady: "Didn't he just come to our house last night? I thought he looked good at that time?"

The old lady also felt something was wrong. She said, "When I left at the end, my face seemed a little pale."

The old Marquis' face darkened and he asked his servant, "How did you die?"

The servant replied: "I heard that he died at night. Dali Temple received a report and came to investigate overnight. They said he died of a normal illness."

"Death of illness??" Old Marquis became even more confused, "What kind of disease can make a good and healthy person alive and then disappear in a short time?"

The old lady soon realized something was wrong: "If he died of illness, why should he report it to Dali Temple?"

The servant shook his head: "I don't know, either."

"Go and have a look." The old Marquis didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he took the old lady and left.

Completely opposite to the old couple, the young couple had breakfast warmly.

Xu Wan asked Zong Zhao, "Don't you have anything else to do next?"

Zong Zhao gave her a dish and then replied: "A little bit, but it's not too important. What's wrong?"

Xu Wan said: "Aren't the masters preparing for the exam? I originally wanted Mr. Baili to help with the questions, but Mr. Baili came to teach Jincheng no matter what, and he didn't have the opportunity to add four children to him later. I’m complaining, but I’d feel a little sorry if I added Master now.”

Zong Zhao hummed and said, "Do you want me to go to Mr. Baili to mention this matter, or something else?"

Xu Wan put down the bowl and chopsticks and said to him with a smile: "I want you to help me come up with the questions. Do you think it's okay, Number One Scholar?"

Zong Zhao listened to her playful voice and met those talking eyes. He couldn't help but look at her sultry lips. His Adam's apple rolled and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.

He asked: "Is there any reward?"

"Reward?" Xu Wan tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed that she had never thought about this problem. Every time she asked Zong Zhao for help, Zong Zhao always agreed directly. This was the first time she asked her for a reward.

Xu Wan wasn't sure what kind of reward she wanted to give him, so she asked, "What reward do you want?"

Zong Zhao paused for a moment and asked, "What kind of reward can I want?"

Xu Wan thought for a while, nodded and said: "As long as I have it, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it for you. Is this okay?"

Zong Zhao nodded and said, "Okay."

He lowered his head and continued to eat, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking very happy.

Xu Wan was very curious, so she chased and asked, "Why are you laughing? Have you already thought about what you want?"

The faint smile on Zong Zhao's lips was still there, and he replied: "I've thought about it, and I'll ask you for it after I finish my work."

"OK."

After dinner, the two went to the big study room. The teachers were studying on the first floor, so they took the examination papers of the previous years to the second floor.

Xu Wan told him: "The examination papers are for reference only. They are mainly based on the examination papers of previous years. They should be similar but different, and they should be able to test whether they have the ability to continue to tutor the children."

Zong Zhao nodded and replied: "It is more reasonable to refer to the examination papers."

Xu Wan said with a smile: "That is too difficult. Let's take the exam again in a few months, so as not to make the teachers autistic. They are still only candidates."

"Okay, let me take a look." Zong Zhao picked up the examination papers and read them carefully.

Because the examination lasted only three days and only one question, it was easier for the students who had taken the exam to remember, so Xu Wan collected the questions of the previous decades. This question bank is more than that of the autumn examination.

The green smoke from the incense burner on the second floor was rising slightly.

The couple sat in front of the window and carefully selected the questions. From time to time, they would talk about their ideas and continue to look at the questions after discussion.

Near noon, Cuizhi came up to report: "General, Madam, the old marquis and the old lady are back and asked to see the general."

Xu Wan paused with the test paper in her hand and looked up at Zong Zhao.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law noticed and were about to interrogate people.

Zong Zhao calmly put away the test paper, stood up and said to her: "It's almost noon, you should also prepare to eat, I'll go over to see."

Xu Wan grabbed his arm, then quickly stood up and said to him seriously: "Let's go together."
