Chapter 15: Eating humans and eating ghosts
Zhang Xun's mind felt like fireworks exploding, illuminating many corners that he had not noticed before.
The current prosperity of the Zhang family relies on the friendship between father Zhang Ran and His Majesty who grew up together when they were young; the Zhou family is a famous legal expert and a subtle old minister of the previous dynasty. Even if there were many talented people in the past, it was not dazzling, but now it is already yesterday. yellow flower.
The Queen may be a commoner woman who was born after His Majesty's death, but the Crown Princess must be a carefully selected right-hand woman.
Why did you choose Zhang Zhou’s family?
"My family Ruoqing deserves the best man in my heart."
Zhang Xun clenched his fists, feeling powerless in his hands. When he first heard about it, he thought it was ridiculous. This was not pie in the sky, it was like gold ingots falling from the sky. But looking at the slim, kind and gentle A-mei, I feel that nothing is impossible.
Han Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Xun understood what he meant.
He didn't want to fight with others in front of Zhou Zhao, in case he offended her...
"Dawn Garden is the private garden of a wealthy businessman named Cao. Most of the people who go there are dudes with a lot of money in their pockets. Most people go there to drink tea and listen to music, which is considered elegant, but if someone comes in, then There is so much to play with..."
"When it comes to Haitang Tower, everyone goes there for Haitang, and Haitang is Zhang Ruoqing."
Han Ze said, shrinking his neck... Seeing that Zhang Xun was struck by lightning, he was about to raise his fist to meet him. He waved his hand hurriedly, "It's not what you think. I didn't do anything shameful. It’s just some people who admire Zhang Ruoqing having a drink together.”
"There is a small banquet there. I have only been there once. It was about three months ago. Huo Ting, the nephew of Taiwei Huo's family, asked me to go there."
Zhou Zhao frowned, and when he saw Han Ze peeking at her, he glanced back.
When Han Ze saw that she had noticed, he turned away in a panic. Although Zhang Ruoqing was the most beautiful woman, she was mostly bragging, and she was gentle and gentle like his mother-in-law, which was not his type at all.
To be honest, if you just look at the face, he likes Zhou Zhao like this.
But Zhou Zhao would make him lose face.
"I usually don't mess with people from good families. I'm not from the same group as Zhang Ruoqing. We are talking about serious matters. With Huo Zeng as the mediator, please ask me to ask Master Wu to carve a statue of the Queen Mother of the West... to be presented as a gift to the Queen on her birthday."< br>
"My father is in charge of the Young Mansion, and I am not good at everything else. He is very proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. No one in the entire Chang'an City knows how to handle this better than me."
"She doesn't have any good friends, and she doesn't recognize the master... I'm not that stupid fool who lets people use nothing. So I asked her to write an IOU."
As Han Ze spoke, he randomly touched his body and finally found a crumpled piece of silk in his sleeve pocket. He presented it to Zhou Zhao honestly, "Sister Zhao, although I am older than you. , but you are my sister! Everything I say is true, and the IOU is here!”
Zhou Zhao took it and took a look, and as expected, he saw Zhang Ruoqing's seal on it.
She looked at it and handed the silk to Zhang Xun, who stretched his neck, "Just take a look, is it your sister's calligraphy?"
Zhang Xun hurriedly took it, glanced at it, and let go of his hand dejectedly. His voice was a little hoarse, "Yes."
Seeing his admission, Han Ze breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't lie in front of Sister Zhao! Huo Zhen was also there at the time, and he can testify for me."
"By the way," Han Ze racked his brains and thought for a while, then continued, "Huo Ting also told me that there is no need to worry about Zhang Ruoqing defaulting on the debt. Even if she can't pay, someone will pay for her. Then Dawn Garden Cao Ben spent a lot of money for her." The room suddenly became quiet.
Although Han Ze said it quite implicitly, everyone present was not stupid, so how could they not understand that he was talking about Zhang Ruoqing, who in order to enter Changle Palace and create a good reputation, relied on the beauty net to work for her for 800 times? fish.
So, could it be that the fish in the fishing net turned back on its owner, triggering the vendetta?
Seeing that he was going further and further, Zhou Zhao had forgotten her previous question, and reminded her again, "Why did Zhang Ruoqing bring those wooden signs to see you? What do you mean when you said that she was both paying back money and spending money?"
When Han Ze heard this, he suddenly became a little nervous.
"I also went to the banquet yesterday. Zhang Ruoqing found me and told me to come to Wujin Lane at night, and she would pay me back. At the same time, she needed me to do her one more favor. It only took a little effort, and she could give me another favor. money.”
You're a bastard if you don't make money!
Although his family is rich, who would think that there is too much money? You can get money just by talking. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"She said that her time in the capital was short. Her mother usually lived in seclusion and never took her out to make friends. She didn't know the likes and taboos of many people in Chang'an City. Who was related to whom by marriage, and what kind of relationship there was. I don’t know any of the old grudges..."
"He also said that her mother-in-law is anxious to arrange a marriage for her, and she wants to inquire about people in the capital!"
Han Ze said, scratching his head, "I'm not bragging, I really know a lot of people."
Those gentlemen don't talk behind people's backs. They are a bunch of dandy boys who talk about anything regardless of whether they are meat or vegetables! You may not know a few words in the scriptures, but everyone knows the spicy secrets!

"I really don't know about wooden signs or anything. I asked her to write down in advance who she wanted to know, and I'll tell her then."
Han Ze poured it out like beans from a bamboo tube, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
God knew he was embarrassed to say that he was going out here to get money last night, or else he would have brought the IOU with him.
But then I suddenly remembered that last night was June 15th, the anniversary of Zhou Yan’s death. Zhou Zhao would definitely go to Wujin Alley on this day, and he was immediately frightened.
Zhou Zhao glanced at Han Ze, as if she had suddenly seen through what he was thinking, but she did not dwell on the past and continued to ask, "Then do you know who Zhang Ruoqing has enmity with? Or in Has anything special happened to her? ”
Zhou Zhao paused, "Maybe someone died, or it was related to ghosts, cannibalism... something like that."
"How can it be possible to eat people? Zhang Ruoqing is a beauty and not an evil ghost. How can he eat people?" Han Ze exclaimed, his eyes widening.
Although he felt that Zhang Ruoqing was not a gentle and kind-hearted person, didn't he just love to play? If men can play, women can naturally do it too, so it’s not a big deal! You can play with people, but how can you eat them?
An idea flashed in Zhou Zhao's mind, and she quickly looked at Han Ze, "What did you say just now? Say it again?"
Han Ze's scalp went numb and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, distanced himself from Zhou Zhao, and weakly repeated, "Zhang Ruoqing is a beauty, not an evil ghost..."
Zhou Zhao suddenly realized, "Yes, to the vengeful murderer, Zhang Ruoqing is the ghost...so it's not about eating people, but about eating ghosts!"
