Chapter 29 Strange

Zhao Rong was surprised. Could it be that the deputy commander of the Dongcheng District of the Five City Military Forces and Horses was not good?

Zhao Zhen's expression was a little strange before, but now Qin Keqing is like this again. Zhao Rong felt disgusted in his heart, and always felt that there was something he didn't understand.

Qin Keqing was silent for a while, and finally spoke up, "According to the customs of the court, most of the nobles will hold idle positions when they serve as officials, such as the Jinyiwei hundred households, thousands of households, etc., or they are assigned to the emperor's personal army, and like you, they will directly take actual positions, and it is a thankless place like the Five City Military and Horses Office, which is really not worth it!"

Qin Keqing was a little worried. Jinling East City was next to the Qinhuai River and was full of brothels and restaurants. This place was the most mixed-up. If Zhao Rong really took up this job, there would definitely be no trouble in the future.

No matter how stupid Zhao Rong was, he finally understood what Qin Keqing said at this time.

Obviously, Emperor Tongguang did not play according to common sense about his errands, but broke the convention of noble children becoming officials and gave him a thankless position.

Zhao Rong felt very strange. He should have had no holiday with Emperor Tongguang, right? Why did the emperor arrange such a position? He couldn't figure out why he could not solve it.

Zhao Rong inadvertently glanced at Qin Keqing's face. Seeing that she seemed to have some understanding, he thought that the trick in the middle was probably even more powerful than he had imagined.

Zhao Rong suddenly thought of the fight on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. Tao Dachun, the general who was a decent general, was killed by the sword of the Heaven and Earth Society in the Qinhuai River. This case happened in Dongcheng!

The Five City Military Command is in charge of the public security of the capital and has the responsibility to arrest the murderers. I am afraid that it is Tao Dachun's case, the Five City Military Command will also participate in the investigation!

Time seemed to be a coincidence. At this critical moment, the emperor ordered his own errands again. It was really a hot potato. Zhao Rong felt that this was like a chain of traps, one after another. Although he didn't know why the emperor had such an arrangement, it was obviously a pit!

"Damn it, I didn't ask anyone to provoke anyone. I was assassinated again, and I was dug up a pit and trapped. Could it be that I was born a broom star?"

At this time, Zhao Rong felt that everything that happened to him was far more than the stories in the Dream of Red Mansions, and the danger here was even more dangerous than in the book.

Qin Keqing wanted to say something, but she still held back the topic. She continued to accompany Zhao Xichun to discuss what flowers and plants to plant in the flowerbed next year.

Zhao Rong wanted to ask, but because Zhao Xichun was present, he couldn't speak. He thought that since the imperial edict had been issued, he could not refuse even if he was reluctant, so he had to bury all the questions in his heart.

Just as Zhao Rong and Qin Keqing were talking, in Ningjing Hall, Zhao Zhen, Duke of Ningguo, kept tapping the table with his fingers while closing his eyes to ponder.

The butler Zhao Yongquan stood quietly under Zhao Zhen, but he didn't dare to show off. Zhao Yongquan served Zhao Zhen for more than ten years, how could he not know that Zhao Zhen would only show such a look when he encountered a difficult thing.

After about a half moment, Zhao Zhen opened his eyes. He stared at Zhao Yongquan like a poisonous snake and said in a deep voice, "Go and check and see who made Brother Rong the commander of the East City!"

Zhao Zhen never believed that Zhao Rong's errands would be arranged by the emperor himself. The emperor was busy with all kinds of things, so he certainly had no time to deal with such small things.

Then, it was obvious that someone had tampered with Zhao Rong in the position of the deputy commander of the Dongcheng Military and Horses of the Five Cities. As for why this person did this, Zhao Zhen had guessed a few points, just to make Zhao Rong make a mistake and then cut off the roots of the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

Zhao Zhen was extremely angry.

He can tolerate his son being stupid, he can tolerate his son being slutty, he can beat him and scold him, but he will never let others break the future of the Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

"You guys are really too much."

First, he was assassinated and then dug a pit to lay a trap. The anger in Zhao Zhen’s heart was conceivable. Even if he didn’t like his son, he would never sit idly by and watch others harm him.

Zhao Rong didn't know that Zhao Zhen had sent someone to investigate. At this moment, he was really big and small with Matcha.

Matcha looked strange, thinking that his son would become an official tomorrow, but he was filled with joy and thought about the majesty of the normal king, the little girl asked curiously, "Young Master, if you become an official, do you have to wear official uniforms, official hats, official boots, ride a horse, and sit in a sedan chair!"

The little girl admired her very much, but was a little scared, because if the young master became an official, he would become as cold as the prince in the mansion.

Zhao Rong felt very distressed when he saw her entanglement.

He gently scraped Matcha's perky nose and couldn't help but smile, "It's not a great official position, I'm just a idle job. Maybe in a few days, the emperor feels that the young master is not responsible, so he demoted me to his home. Hehe, Cha'er is not allowed to laugh at the young master at that time."

Matcha blinked, and was a little confused. Why would the emperor demote him home after he ordered his son's fault?

Matcha doesn't understand, but she is most confident in her young master and keeps saying, "I don't know. The young master is so smart, the emperor will definitely like you."

Zhao Rong smiled slightly.

Matcha is innocent and obviously does not understand the twists and turns in the officialdom. Accompanying the king is like a tiger. Under the imperial power, rise and fall, survival, life and death, honor and disgrace, nothing is the matter of the emperor's words?

In the Red Book, the Grand View Garden was investigated and the final destruction of Ning Rong's mansions was certainly inseparable from their own reasons, but if it weren't for the loss of the emperor's heart, how could this be the case?

Trembling, walking on thin ice.

This is Zhao Rong's mood at this time. If there is anything else, he probably feels that he can finally walk out of the high-walled courtyard of the Duke of Ningguo Mansion.

This gave Zhao Rong a glimmer of hope. No matter what the deputy commander in Dongcheng was doing, at least he could take on some things. With this identity, I believe that those assassins would no longer dare to commit crimes unscrupulously.

Everything has its pros and cons. As for whether it is pros and cons, only God knows.

The next day, before dawn, Yueweixiaozhu started to work hard inside.

Kuigu took the mothers to boil water and cook rice, matcha served Zhao Rong to wash and change clothes, and even Qin Keqing and Zhao Xichun in the Western Warehouse got up.

When Zhao Rong finished washing and walked out of the east wing, Qin Keqing and Zhao Xichun both smiled. Zhao Xichun looked up and down at Zhao Rong's outfit and smiled, "It's really a joyful person who is in a happy event. Brother Rong, you are full of energy today."
