Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

- the next day

"Did my father really let Zhang Fengchun get out?" Dugu Jinghuai suddenly became serious, and even pushed his favorite concubine to the ground.

"Ah." The concubine exclaimed. Dugu Jinghuai's push exposed her private parts, which were not very tight to begin with. She lay on the ground in embarrassment, not daring to look up.

The men around her looked at her wantonly, but Dugu Jinghuai didn't care about her life or death, so she had to crawl under the table to avoid their sight.

Wang Wu also replied with a look of surprise, "That's right. I don't know what the Lord sent someone to tell him last night, but he submitted his resignation this morning, saying he wanted to retire and return home. The old eunuch Yu Hongyuan hurried to the Qianqing Palace to report the news, but the imperial concubine happened to be there, so the emperor agreed to Zhang Fengchun's retirement without saying a word."

It seems that in the eyes of the emperor, no one can compare to Concubine Chen, so those who work in the Dugu family are the most promising.

Concubine Chen is the only one favored in the palace. The rest of the concubines in the palace do not please the emperor at all. Once she becomes pregnant with a prince and becomes the queen, the power of the Dugu family will definitely reach a higher level.

Dugu Jinghuai laughed out loud, "Of course, my sister is the apple of the Emperor's eye."

"There is nothing that our Dugu family wants to do that we cannot accomplish, whether inside or outside the palace."

When his elder sister became pregnant and gave birth to a prince, Zhou Yusheng's reign on the throne would be over, and the future Zhou Dynasty would eventually belong to their Dugu family. Now he was doing everything he could to prevent those women from entering the palace just to buy time for Dugu Nange and prevent them from getting pregnant.

He sat back in his seat. "Why hasn't my sister's fertility medicine been used yet? These doctors outside the palace are just as useless!"

Wang Wu's smile instantly faded, and he quickly prepared what to say. "For the sake of His Majesty's safety, the Emperor has not allowed our doctors to stay in the palace, so we can only send doctors to check Her Majesty's pulse regularly. This fertility medicine must be good. It's made from the best herbs we found ourselves."

"But I don't know why it hasn't been effective yet." This also surprised them.

But the Empress' health had been affected by an accidental fall into the water many years before in autumn, and she had already taken care of herself. Why was she still unable to conceive? Fortunately, the Emperor had never favored any other concubines.

Dugu Jinghuai hesitated for a moment, "Let's find another batch of famous doctors, the best ones. If you can't find one around the capital, go look for one outside. I don't believe that there's no good doctor in this big world."

Seeing that my sister has been in the palace for two years, how can I not be anxious? If this happened in an ordinary family, people would have criticized her for being unable to have children long ago.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Wang Wu naturally became anxious.

Dugu Jinghuai stopped him, "Wait."

"You can go and look for it yourself."

He was worried that someone would do something bad, and he couldn't rest assured if he handed this matter over to other people. If he made too much of a fuss, his father would probably ask him to be more restrained.

It would be most appropriate for Wang Wu to do it, as he is a low-key person by nature.

"Yes." Wang Wu was also a little surprised, but still did it.

Since the young master has the adults' trusted aides around him, he will surely not encounter any serious problems.

......

——Zhang Mansion

"Husband, are we really going to leave the capital like this?" Lin Yi clutched her sleeves tightly, looking very unwilling.

You've gone through so many ups and downs over the years, but now you're leaving the capital just because of a few words from Dugu Xin?

She really couldn't accept it!

In just one day, Zhang Fengchun seemed to have aged several years.

He put his hands behind his back and looked back at Lin Yi, "Not leaving? If we don't leave, our son's safety will be in jeopardy."

Lin Yi couldn't help but get nervous when she heard this. "My son is in such a remote place, what bad things can he do?"

She didn't know how many times she had blamed Zhang Fengchun. He was already the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he didn't arrange a good position for his son. He also avoided those relatives as much as possible. He was really heartless.

But after the death of the late emperor, Zhou Yusheng's brother, she finally saw things clearly. She realized that it was not possible to stay in the capital at the moment, and if her son stayed, it would only harm them.

"Humph, that's not all. He was planning to frame Jin Yu for the missing disaster relief funds." Zhang Fengchun didn't expect Dugu Xin's threat to be so direct. He actually told him directly the crime he wanted to frame.

The country is about to fall apart and the world is about to fall into chaos. He dares not and does not want to stay in the capital.

I just hope the family can be reunited.

"How dare he do this? Does the emperor really not care about it? Can't we ask for help from the Duke of England? The Duke of England is the most fair and will definitely not let it go!" Lin Yi still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Have you forgotten that his daughter is a royal concubine? She is at the peak of her career in the palace and her status is unmatched. It is because of her that the emperor allowed him to retire and return home this time." Zhang Fengchun has not served as the Minister of Revenue for so many years in vain.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would be so foolish as to allow the evil concubine to interfere in government affairs. Although it seemed that he lost to Dugu Xin in this round, there would be more people in the court who were disappointed with the Zhou Dynasty. He was waiting to see what Zhou Yusheng's fate would be.

Lin Yi was completely disappointed. "What a tyrant! What a tyrant!"

Zhang Fengchun was so frightened that he quickly covered her mouth. "Keep your voice down. There are some things you must not say at this critical moment! If Dugu Xin's spies find out, how will our family survive?!"

Although this sounded ridiculous, he had to say it.

"Pack up your things, we have to leave Beijing as soon as possible." Zhang Fengchun didn't even know if he could leave the capital alive.

After the rabbit dies, the dog is abandoned. He didn't know whether the officials under him would be reused again. Oh, forget it, what's the point of worrying too much? He is no longer the Minister of Revenue.

He didn't have many slaves in his house, and once he dismissed them, there would be even fewer people left to take with him.

-at night

Lin Yi walked into Zhang Fengchun's study with a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Fengchun was drinking tea with a book in his hand.

They don't have much money at home, and the most valuable thing is books. The books in the study have almost been packed up, and he plans to give the remaining books to his disciples. They should leave the day after tomorrow morning.

I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet again after this separation.

"There are not many martial artists at home, so I want to go to the martial arts industry to buy some." Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to leave the capital like this.

There were not many maids and servants left, and except for those who were dismissed, those who were left to be taken away were all honest and dutiful.

Zhang Fengchun shook his head. "Just take a few people from home with you. If they really don't want me to live, it won't help even if they take more people."

Hearing these sad words, Lin Yi's tears also slid down her face. "I have sent a letter to my son. If we really die, he will know and will be more careful in what he does. He will definitely be safe."

"Don't worry too much, this is fate, just rest."

......

Zheng Yi, who was nearly seventy years old, felt that his breathing was becoming unstable after he had thrown a set of punches with great force. Fortunately, the guards not far away rushed over in time to support him.

"Sir, please slow down." Two burly men were not idle either. They ran over from under the eaves to check on his safety.

Zheng Yi waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm fine, I'm just a little overwhelmed."

"Sir, the letter has arrived." The speaker was the butler Fang Guisheng.

Zheng Yi opened the letter and quickly read through it. "Nonsense!"

"Look at the stupid ideas he came up with. He's been doing nothing all day long. I told him to get out of Houyun City as soon as possible, but he won't come back!"

He was almost angry and several people rushed to help him calm down.

Fang Guisheng took the letter from his hand and read it briefly. "His character has always been like this. I think you should not force him. Just let him be."

In his opinion, if Zheng Huan really came back from Houyun City, that would cause trouble for the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. Dugu Xin would definitely use him to plot against the Duke. After all, the capital had been turned upside down by Zheng Huan in the early years, and few people in the capital could stand Zheng Huan.

Everyone hated him to the core.

In addition, Zheng Huan's character is too strong. Not to mention bowing to others, even if he encounters provocation, he will retaliate on the spot.

Although he had fought more than a dozen battles in these years and his temper had been tempered, his hatred of evil in his bones could not be diminished at all.

Everyone in the Zheng family has this bad habit, and the Duke was even more so when he was young.

"Now that the county magistrate of Xianshi County has been replaced by one of ours, we don't have to worry about Xu Lei stabbing him in the back." Fang Guisheng stroked his gray beard.

Zheng Yi also sighed, "The capital is not at peace right now. Although I am looking forward to his return, I really don't know how to find him a position in the court right now."

"The Yan family is also eyeing the imperial court covetously. I think they might attack at any time. If I die now, they will probably attack without hesitation."

I really don’t know what the world will be like in the future.

Although his three sons were also in the army, none of them had been on the battlefield for as long as he and Zheng Huan. If anything happened to him, they would probably be pushed to the front without hesitation.

The fate of the Zheng family is becoming more and more unpredictable.

"You are in good health, nothing will happen to you!" The two burly men had red eyes.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When will Zhang Fengchun leave the capital?" Zheng Huan asked.

The man replied, "I heard from the maid in their mansion that they might leave the capital the day after tomorrow. It all depends on Master Zhang's opinion. Dugu Xin has already sent people to ambush them halfway. I'm afraid Zhang Fengchun and his men won't last more than an incense stick."

"He was transferred from the West Camp. If you didn't stop him as you wished, Dugu Xin would have thought that Lao Jiang had been bribed by him."

Zheng Huan nodded. "Don't alert the enemy. Let him think so."

"You need to find a team of people to pretend to be imperial guards and rescue Zhang Fengchun. Don't let him die."

There were not many people in the court whom he could accept, and one of them was Zhang Fengchun. This person had always been cautious and did things perfectly, but he didn't know why this time the imperial examination would be so outstanding because of a top scholar.

He didn't want to worry too much about these things. After all, he had never had a good relationship with these civil servants and had no contact with them.

But he has always disliked the treacherous minister Dugu Xin.

"Pretending to be an imperial guard?" Fang Guisheng was a little puzzled. Wouldn't it be better not to reveal any identity at this time?

"Hmph, the emperor is just sitting on the mountain watching the fight between two tigers. This time, I will make Dugu Xin realize that he has always underestimated our emperor." Zheng Yi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and it seemed that he had already made all kinds of plans in his mind.

"It's better to let them fight first, so they don't have to be idle."

Fang Guisheng quickly understood what he meant. "It's time to do this. Otherwise, Dugu Xin might just make a move on us. He probably only sees you as his only rival now, and he doesn't even take anyone else in the court seriously."

......

——Beijing Suburbs

Chen Xuyan looked for many opportunities to go out alone to do things, but he failed after several attempts. Chen Zhao proposed that either Li Wentao or he should follow him, otherwise he would not be allowed to go out.

"Since Zhang Fengchun is about to leave, why don't you write him a letter to express your gratitude? I think you must not go to the Zhang family now, because Dugu Xin might send someone to assassinate him, and it will also implicate you!" Wei Siqi's mind was working quickly, and he soon thought of the crux of the problem.

Chen Zhao also felt that what he said was right, "Yes, don't go, write a letter instead."

He had heard a lot about what the Dugu family had done in the market recently. It would be better not to go against them now, as the consequences would be something they could not bear.

Chen Xuyan had no choice but to agree.

"Not going out to buy things? We're going home soon, and we should buy something to bring back for our parents." Chen Xuyan was still a little unwilling.

"When you were still asleep, we had already bought food for the journey. Now we are just waiting to set off." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"Things in Beijing are expensive. I'll buy more when I get to Tongzhou."

He didn't buy anything else, just to wait until he got to Tongzhou to buy it.

Chen Xuyan had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll take a nap for a while."

Wei Siqi didn't notice anything, but asked Chen Zhao, "Brother Chen, how is the Sun family doing now?"

Chen Zhao's expression was a little complicated, as if he didn't know what to say.

"Are they all dead?" Wei Siqi asked.

Chen Zhao shook his head. "The Sun family is safe and sound. I heard his daughter married the old Prince Ping as his concubine. Plus, Dugu Xin intervened, so nothing happened. It seems even his official position was restored."

"What? So ridiculous? The old Prince Ping is even older than my grandmother, so why does he always marry young girls? I heard he killed several princesses."

"Official position restored? This is even more ridiculous." Wei Siqi's expression was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

After a while, he sat back on the stool as if he had lost all his energy. "It seems my family is in trouble this time. The Sun family will definitely not let us off easily."

I don’t know what his father will do when he finds out.
