Chapter 14: Divorce (Part 1)
A few days before the trip, Zhang Xuanning had some free time, and walked through the streets, only to see that the streets were full of people. Well, there is one thing I have to say, according to the official history, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty died in Jiangdu, and Jiangdu is Yangzhou. Zhang Xuanning had made preparations for this.
There are shops lined on both sides of the street, all in an orderly manner and bustling with people.
Although it was not the first time he saw it, he was still amazed at the scale of the city in this world. Zhang Xuanning walked along the way, accompanied only by a lucky person. He had a ten-liang silver note and a few pieces of silver on him, which were more than enough for him to stroll around the streets.
I saw various restaurants on the streets of Yangzhou, some of which were even three stories high, which was very grand in ancient times.
Suddenly, the restaurant reminded him of the steamed bun beauty Zhen Sao, with whom he had not contacted for a long time. He asked casually, "The business here is really good. It would be great if Zhen Sao could open a store here."
Hearing this, Xingrong showed a strange expression.
Zhang Xuanning, who had not paid attention to it, saw it and was a little surprised. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing his embarrassment, his face gradually became serious: "What's the matter? Did something happen to Sister Zhen? Don't hide it, tell me!"
Over the past year, he has gradually gained some prestige. When he said this with a cold face, Xing Rong stammered, "Sister Zhen is not very good."
"What's wrong with that? Didn't I ask Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to keep an eye on it? Why didn't they report anything to me?"
Xing Rong saw the green aura flash across Zhang Xuanning's face, and did not hesitate to say, "It's not good. It is said that after more than two years of marriage, she still has no children, so the eldest wife often humiliates and beats her, and Old Feng doesn't help."
"How far has it come?"
"It is said that she often has bruises on her body. Although women are secretive, news always leaks out."
"Hmph, in that case, what exactly do Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong do? Do they not know, or are they hiding it from me?" To be honest, thinking of this, murderous intent flashed through his mind. He actually understood a little that he had said some extreme words in front of them, so these two guys concealed the truth in order to avoid things from getting worse.
However, within an organization, if one conceals something, at the very least, it is dereliction of duty, and at the worst, it is treason and disloyalty to the superior - such an intention is punishable.
They are really a pair of ungrateful wolves, Zhang Xuanning thought at that moment.
He didn't have the energy to say anything else. He concentrated on thinking for a while, then said, "Go find a woman and ask her to check on Sister Zhen's health. I want to know exactly what's going on. Send some more people over. I want to know everything about Sister Zhen's past year. Don't leave anything out!"
"Yes, Master." Xing Rong did not dare to delay and responded immediately, feeling relieved in his heart. He thought it was a blessing that the Master did not punish the two brothers Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, but he did not know that this was already a very serious behavior. If Zhang Xuanning really regarded them as brothers, he should have punished them. Now that he did not punish them, it was obvious that he was suspicious of them.
"This is my private matter, so don't tell Master Su. Also, don't go back. I'll be waiting in the teahouse here. Report to me when everything is done."
"Yes, Master Xiang."
At this time, there were not many people in the teahouse. When I walked in, there were only a few people. The owner hurriedly came out to greet them, saying, "Mr. Zhang, it is my blessing to have you here. Welcome, welcome!"
Zhang Xuanning smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Boss Sun, is there a quieter place? I want to disturb you today."
"Yes, yes, Master Zhang, please come in and sit down."
There was a room inside, and there was a man drinking tea. Boss Sun walked up and whispered something, and the man quickly got up and went out, leaving the entire room empty.
Not long after, the tea came up. Zhang Xuanning picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. At this time, he was no longer angry. Only a determination was circling in his heart, and he was thinking silently.
After drinking a cup of tea, he felt calmer. He knew that those things could not be accomplished in a little bit, so he read the martial arts book he got .
This world is different from his original world. Martial arts and civil governance can be said to be the two pillars of the world. Even the so-called Buddhism and Taoism must rely on the power of martial arts to survive and spread. Therefore, there are differences in the depth of martial arts in the world, but there is absolutely no false learning.
When I read them, I realized that these third-rate martial arts books were also full of gems. They gave very detailed descriptions and in-depth insights into the essence of physical training and strength techniques. The second-rate skills, on the basis of physical training, further deepened the internal strength, thus giving birth to stronger and higher techniques and power.
As for the first-rate masters, they have transformed from acquired to innate, and to varying degrees, they are connected with the heaven and earth, occasionally feeling something, and getting a tiny bit of the blessing of fate, which is why they are able to stand out.
As for the masters and the like, they have already gathered and purified the great power and heart of heaven and earth that they have gained and felt, and used them for their own benefit. Only then can they have great power that surpasses that of ordinary people.
For Zhang Xuanning, although these books were the basics, they also greatly deepened his foundation. Time passed like this, and when he was carefully comprehending them, Boss Sun saw that the tea was finished and brought him another pot of hot tea.
Just then, Xingrong came in from outside.
"Master of Incense?"
"Is it done?"
"Yes, it has been completed. Han Niang is a matchmaker nearby. She knows the inside story."
"come in!"
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, Han Niang greets you." Han Niang was a middle-aged woman, but she did not hold a floral handkerchief or have her face covered with powder like in TV and movies.
Seeing Zhang Xuanning's signal, Xingrong immediately understood and retreated. Zhang Xuan concentrated his true energy and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, Han Niang felt a pressure coming and was shocked.
This kind of artificial turtle energy is indeed useful. Slowly, Zhang Xuanning said: "There is no one here, just tell me directly, what is the matter with Zhen Sao?"
Han Niang was an ordinary person, so how could she bear this pressure? She said immediately: "Oh, everyone in our street knows that the eldest wife of the Feng family often beats and scolds her, and also asks her to come out to work early, just to find ways to torment her. Last time I saw her, there were bruises on her body."
"Old Feng doesn't care?"
"Oh, it's only natural for the wife to manage the concubine. Besides, Sister Zhen has been married for two years, and they don't have a son or a daughter. Of course there was something wrong. The first wife beat and scolded her, and no one can say anything." Han Niang spoke continuously, telling some old stories one by one. She was indeed a very good gossip professional.
