Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

While Sun Enmiao was away, Zhang Jingwei chased Jiuer and asked, "Miss Jiuer, why didn't you see your father?"

Jiuer shook her head and blinked her big eyes and said, "My dad... I don't have a dad!"

Zhang Jingwei didn't believe it at all and continued to ask, "Nonsense! How could you exist without your father?"

Jiuer simply turned her head away and stopped looking at Zhang Jingwei, "My father passed away when I was very young!"

Zhang Jingwei raised his eyebrows, looking skeptical, and leaned closer and said, "Really?"

"Why am I telling you this? It's inexplicable."

Jiuer pretended to be angry and turned away.

Zhang Jingwei hurriedly caught up and changed the subject, asking, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about your father anymore. Let's talk about your mother. Why did you lie to everyone else about being away, but help me?!"

Sun Enmiao answered for Jiuer in the courtyard: "That's because Mr. Zhang, the wealthy man, has done me a favor. You are enjoying the blessing of your father!"

Sun Enmiao heard their conversation clearly.

Although Zhang Jingwei was not a member of the "Dig Deep Into Questions" program team, he still couldn't help but ask a few more questions about his master.

Zhang Jingwei bowed and said apologetically, "Sun Yaolang, I have no ill intentions. I am merely a little curious. I hope you will forgive me."

Sun Enmiao laughed and said, "It's okay. Most doctors are men. It's normal for Master Zhang to feel strange!"

Zhang Jingwei said righteously: "No, men and women should be equal. If men can do it, women can do it too."

After hearing this, Sun Enmiao was stunned for a moment, then he asked, "Could it be... you have also read his book?"

Zhang Jingwei was puzzled, "Whose book is it?"

The slight ripple in Sun Enmiao's heart instantly calmed down, and he said, "I was worrying too much. Those banned books are not something you scholars should read."

Zhang Jingwei was confused. What book? Whose book? Could it be that his master had written a book in this world?

"Young Master Zhang can go home and wait. The time is not right for a widow like me, and it is not appropriate for me to keep you at home for dinner." After saying that, she asked Jiuer to see the guest off.

Zhang Jingwei didn't want to leave just like that, so he asked, "Is Jiu'er's surname Li?"

Sun Enmiao ignored him and showed no expression on his face. However, Jiuer became panicked and pushed Zhang Jingwei out of the house.

The knock on the door disrupted Sun Enmiao's thoughts. She leaned back in her chair and took out a book from the bookshelf beside her. The title of the book was "Burning Book".

"Zaizhi, where are you?"

She held the book in her hands, tears streaming down her face.

Jiuer saw that her mother was missing her father again, so she opened the wooden door and pointed at Zhang Jingwei and yelled.

"Why are you knocking? The patient has been cured and the medicine has been given. What else do you want?"

"I want to see Sun Yaolang!" After saying that, Zhang Jingwei was about to rush in.

Jiu'er's eyes rolled and she screamed in a shrill voice, "This is indecent assault! Breaking into a private house in broad daylight and molesting a woman!"

Zhang Jingwei suddenly felt something was wrong and cold sweat broke out from his temples.

The noise alarmed the residents in the alley, and they all stuck their heads out to watch the fun.

Seeing this, Jiuer sat down on the ground and grabbed Zhang Jingwei's trouser legs tightly with both hands.

Zhang Jingwei was shocked. "No, no, I'm here to get treatment."

Neighbors came out to watch.

"Isn't this the young master of the Zhang family?"

"The little girl from Sun Yaolang's family is shouting 'molest!'"

"I heard it. Could it be that the young master of the Zhang family has some evil intentions towards Jiuer?"

"Why don't you report it to the official!"

Everyone said something to me.

Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly difficult to control, Zhang Jingwei said something cruel: "You girl, you are so cruel. I will come again tomorrow, just wait for me."

Several enthusiastic citizens tried to stop him, but he dodged them all with his agile movements.

……

When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Zhang Jingwei was already out of breath.

He became more and more certain that Jiuer was definitely his master's daughter, as her temper was exactly the same.

The master's face slowly emerged in my mind. Perhaps the master also has an illegitimate daughter in this life.

He was fantasizing and laughing evilly.

Judging from the sky, it should be dinner time, but why didn’t anyone come to call him to eat? Could it be that Huangfu Ling didn’t know he was back?

He muttered, "That's not right. So many people saw me coming back just now."

Full of doubts, he decided to go to the small courtyard to find those "roommates" and expose the informant. He organized his words and recalled that in those costume dramas, the end of undercover agents was basically torture. He wondered if Wang Ergou would be desperate and do something desperate.

Before he could think about it, Huangfu Changshui's guards came to his door.

"Sir, the Marquis invites you!"

As luck would have it, I was invited by Huangfu Changshui at this time, so I had to put the matter of Wang Ergou aside for the time being.

……

In the main courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, Huangfu Changshui was bare-chested, holding a stone lock. Although he was old, his strong arms made him wield the heavy stone lock with great vigor. The scars on his chest and back looked like a veteran's medals. The only thing that was out of place was the big belly on his abdomen.

Seeing his son-in-law coming, Huangfu Changshui put down the stone lock and took the handkerchief from the maid beside him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hands.

Huangfu Changshui smiled and said, "How is it? Now that you've captured Han Ye, your prestige is no less than mine!"

"I told you, who spread the rumors about me all over the city? It turned out to be my father-in-law's work!" In fact, he had thought of it a long time ago, but it was better to pretend to be confused at this time.

Huangfu Changshui said: "Everyone who should be arrested has been arrested. Now we can wait for the government to close the case."

Zhang Jingwei sat down opposite Huangfu Changshui and said casually, "Yes... My father-in-law used me to get rid of Han Ye. This is a really smart move."

Huangfu Changshui smiled playfully, then said, "You're not stupid, kid."

"But I have a question. Isn't my father-in-law afraid that I will be harmed by Han Ye?"

Huangfu Changshui confidently praised his subordinates. "With Gao Jieba here, no one can hurt you. Besides, my garrison is no ordinary force!"

Zhang Jingwei said, "Since my father-in-law dared to let me investigate Han Ye, it means that this matter really has nothing to do with the Huangfu family. Then I can rest assured!"

Huangfu Changshui sighed and said slowly, "Han Ye is my brother who joined the army with me. He has a strong character and brutal methods, but I never believed that he would become like this!"

Zhang Jingwei asked with a dark face, "So, my father-in-law knew about this from the beginning?"

Huangfu Changshui didn't play dumb this time and told the truth: "I know, in fact, the person sent by the prince originally came to find me, and after being rejected several times, he went to find Han Ye! Han Ye has long wanted to take the throne, but I can't get rid of him just like that!"

Zhang Jingwei was puzzled and asked, "My father-in-law is a garrison general, a fifth-rank official, and has been granted the title of Marquis of the North. Why can't he remove a captain?"

Huangfu Changshui asked in return, "Did you see Bao Jing on your way back?"

Zhang Jingwei confessed truthfully: "That lieutenant general? I saw him. He wanted to take Han Ye and Wang Jue away, but Gao Fei gave him a lesson!"

Huangfu Changshui smiled and nodded, then said: "You have grown up, and there are some things you should know."

Huangfu Changshui stood up and walked towards the study, with Zhang Jingwei following closely behind him.
