Chapter 202: Things have changed

"A commoner like me who likes to drink cold and white drinks, it seems that it is not suitable to drink with a gentleman like Mr. Zhan." Tan Zong casually wiped away the water stains at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and his face was naturally transparent, without any artificial appearance, and he looked very unruly.

Zhan Muyun still looked humble and gentlemanly. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tan Zong waved his hand and said, "I know Mr. Zhan is a humble gentleman. You must say that I misunderstood you or have prejudice against you..." Tan Zong said this, his voice stopped, but he slowly moved his head to about a foot in front of Zhan Muyun, and then said word by word: "It's a pity that Mr. Zhan and you are born two people, and you may not be able to walk on the same path in your life."

Tan Zong's word "you" is extremely chewing, and a strong sense of mockery fills it, fully showing Tan Zong's attitude towards Zhan Muyun.

Zhan Muyun's face finally changed at this time. His original humble smile gradually gathered, but his expressionless face was calm. He stood up and looked at Tan Zong's eyes carefully. Zhan Muyun then smiled on his face and said, "It seems that Lord Tan has a deep misunderstanding of me. I am afraid that Muyun can't explain it clearly in a few words."

When Zhan Muyun said this, Tan Zong showed a sarcastic smile on his face without any concealment. Tan Zong could see the Mr. Zhan in front of him thoroughly. This person is a complete politician! For political interests, Zhan Muyun can definitely sacrifice everything that can be sacrificed when necessary, and will not have any psychological burden for it.

Tan Zong has seen such people in later generations and is not willing to deal with such people at all. However, at that time, since he was angry with the beauty, no one would provoke him. Unexpectedly, he encountered another one in Dashunchao, so when Tan Zong saw Zhan Muyun's hypocritical appearance, he felt as disgusting as if he had swallowed half a fly alive.

"Since I can't explain clearly, what else can I explain? It's a bit boring." At this time, someone at the door was interjected, and the thick mid-bass sound made people's attention unconsciously attracted.

Tan Zong looked at the visitor but his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Fu, you, the gardener, are not qualified enough. You came back in one day." After that, he took the initiative to meet him.

Lianxiang, who had already stopped behind, temporarily forgot the enemy Zhan Muyun, but just opened her eyes with cunning glory to look at the old man at the door who was called "Uncle Fu" by Tan Zong. Lianxiang remembered clearly that the twenty-four heaven lock, which had 200,000 silver notes, was from the old man. If he wanted to open the heaven lock as soon as possible, he would probably have to land on this uncle Fu.

"I just couldn't stay idle, so I walked out of the city." Uncle Fu said with a natural smile: "When I came in just now, someone asked me to pass the letter to the master, so I took it in." As he said that, he took out an envelope from his sleeve.

The envelope was glued with beeswax so tightly. If you want to open the envelope without tearing it down, it would be almost impossible. But since the person pointed out that it was Tan Zong who accepted it, Tan Zong naturally had no need to consider the integrity of the envelope. He tore it open and took out the letter from it.

The content of the letter was very short, only eight words, but only these eight words made Tan Zong suddenly faint.

Uncle Fu held him, and after Tan Zong stood up, he asked, "What's the matter that made you do like this? Let's see with me." After that, without waiting for Tan Zong to agree, he took the letter directly from Tan Zong: "There is a change in Nanjing, Ren fell to the river and died."

"What?!" Almost everyone present exclaimed in surprise, and for more than a dozen pairs of people stared at the piece of paper in Uncle Fu's hand almost at the same time. Although he only mentioned the word "ren", everyone knew who the character "ren" represented was, and he knew more clearly that this person would have a series of impacts on the entire Nanjing Prefecture after his death.

At this time, Tan Zong, who received the news, woke up first. He bowed to Han Xinjie, and Tan Zong apologized: "Miss Han San, this matter is important, and I need to go back to the room to meditate for a while. I would like to forgive my disrespect for the dinner tonight. I would like to forgive my third lady for my disrespect. I will wait for Tan Zong to have time to have a free time in the future, so I will definitely have a chat with Miss San and the Third Supervisor." After that, he went back to the room without waiting for Han Xinjie to react.

But at this time, except for Lianxiang, no one cared about Tan Zong's departure. The impact of Wang Ren's sudden death is now limited to this small inn lobby. But I am afraid that once this news spreads from Nanjing City a day or two, not only Wuxi, but Changzhou, the entire Jiangnan and even the entire Dashun Dynasty would be shocked!

You know, when Wang Ren died, it happened to be the stall of Wang An, Zhao Yunan, who went to investigate the Nanjing River Embankment case! No one could guarantee that this big case that was most likely involved in the court. At this time, what kind of changes would arise: the royal party fought back without a testimony, or was it the other side to pursue the victory?

"Tsk, nothing big, I don't know what your appearance is like a dead parent!" Uncle Fu crumpled the letter paper into a ball, and flicked it. The ball of paper drew an arc in the air and fell directly into a lantern. Then a burst of blue smoke floated up from the lantern, but everyone couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Zhan Muyun's face no longer had the calmness and calmness he had before, but instead showed an unprecedented solemn look: "It's not too early, but Zhan is going to say goodbye first."

Yan Jin, who was closest to the lobby door, suddenly stood up and stopped Zhan Muyun directly: "The night fog is heavy, so what if Mr. Zhan is going to rest in the inn for one night tonight? We just happened to have some knowledge to ask Mr. Zhan for advice."

"Oh?" A glimmer suddenly burst into Zhan Muyun's eyes, and there was a breathtaking power in his straight and rigorous eyes.

Yan Jin saw Zhan Muyun’s strange appearance, and suddenly aroused a bell in his heart and wanted to pull out the knife. However, Yan Jin wiped his left hand into his belt, but he found that there was nothing on the belt. Then he remembered that when he was washing in the room, he put his sword on the coffee table.

Zhan Muyun smiled again at this time and said calmly: "What, does this little brother actually want to keep me here?" Zhan Muyun said, but his eyes swept across everyone in the lobby one by one. But what was beyond Zhan Muyun's expectations was that except for Han Xinjie and Han Wengan, all the eight guards had ordinary expressions, obviously they all had the same idea.

"Go and go, don't you like to leave, it seems like someone wants to keep you." Uncle Fu waved his sleeves like a mosquito. In his actions, he had his unruly inside, but it was several times stronger than Zhan Muyun.

Zhan Muyun didn't think anything was strange about the old man in white clothes in front of him. After all, when Uncle Fu spoke and called him Mr. Tan Zong, he mistakenly thought Uncle Fu was an old servant in the Tan Mansion. But at this time, Zhan Muyun realized Uncle Fu's extraordinaryness, especially in the movement and stillness, his calm demeanor was not something that anyone could have.

"Who is this person? He has a famous demeanor. Even those well-educated scholars are probably inferior to him." Zhan Muyun swept towards Uncle Fu's eyes and kept flashing hesitantly: "If I remember correctly, Tan Zong's child initially called him Uncle Fu, and he said he was a gardener? How could such a person be just a servant in the Tan Mansion?"

After listening to it, Yan Jin listened, but he didn't know what to do.

The news of Wang Ren's death falling into the water tonight is too important. If Zhan Muyun was allowed to bring the news out so easily, it would probably lead to a series of uncontrollable changes. Tan Zong was originally a little lonely and acted cautiously. At this time, these uncontrollable changes will happen, and the situation will be even harder to deal with.

For Tan Zong, who will be walking in Jiangnan in the future, this is undoubtedly not a situation suitable for carrying out his work.

At this time, Tan Zong's voice came from the room, helping Yan Jin to relieve his worries: "Mr. Zhan is afraid that he will not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Isn't it better to finish talking about the matter and leave? It's not better if Mr. Zhan comes again tomorrow."

Yan Jin felt relieved after hearing this. He knew that Tan Zong's words seemed to have made Zhan Muyun stop, but in fact he signaled that he would not have to stop others and could let Zhan Muyun go. But since this posture was done, Yan Jin naturally had to do a good job, so he still stood in front of the door without letting him go. It was just that anyone could see that Yan Jin looked relaxed at this time, and he did not look tight at all.

Zhan Muyun smiled at this time and apologized repeatedly: "Look at me, fortunately Lord Tan reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten the serious business." As he said that, Zhan Muyun took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Jin. Then he said with a serious look: "When Zhan was gathering with Lin County Zunxiao in the county government today, several locals came to hand over the paper, saying that there was some entanglement with the newly acquired concubine of Lord Tan."

As he said that, Zhan Muyun deliberately stopped and a playful smile appeared on his face. When Yan Jin looked at it carefully, he could no longer find it.

"Since this matter involves Lord Tan, Lin County Zun naturally dare not neglect in order to restore Lord Tan's innocence. But it was too late at that time. Lin County Zun was afraid of delaying Lord Tan's rest, so he decided to postpone the case until tomorrow's retrial. County Magistrate Lin was going to come here in person to inform Lord Tan, but I happened to pass by here, so I took such an errand from Lin County Zun and came here."

After Zhan Muyun finished speaking, he ignored the Yan Jin who was blocking him in front of him, and walked out without caring about Xiao Ping'er who followed him step by step. When he was about to walk out, Zhan Muyun turned his head and said, "This case will be held at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Lord Tan must not forget it." After that, Zhan Muyun left.

In the lobby, the four guards who followed Tan Zong out in the morning looked at each other, especially Yan Jin and Wang Kunyun were even more stunned. Everyone knew that no matter what the right and wrong of the matter was, under the initiative of those who were interested, this case would definitely cause Tan Zong, a passerby who had just arrived in Wuxi for a day, to get into great trouble.
