Chapter 95: Under Di Renjie

It's here again! Zhang Zong looked at the wall with helpless face. Shangguan Wan'er, who was packing things, was even more excited to leave her things, and trotted forward and saluted to Taiping on the wall, saying, "Greetings to the princess!"

"If you still have a conscience, it's not in vain that I will help you entangle your mother and let your aunt rescue you!" Taiping saw Shangguan Wan'er taking the initiative to salute, and immediately said with a satisfied look.

"You still have the face to say that if you hadn't told the story to the queen, how could Wan'er be punished?" Xue Shao stepped forward without hesitation and accused him. Taiping also had an unshirkable responsibility for being punished.

"I... I don't know that those stories can't be told?" Taiping also argued for himself with a red face when he heard this. In fact, she was quite aggrieved. She wanted to use the story to please her mother, but she didn't expect that she had implicated her maid and was punished. She was even locked in the palace for many days, and she didn't have the chance to come to Furong Garden until today.

"Okay, the matter has passed, and it's no point in discussing whose responsibilities are discussed!" Zhang Zong also stepped forward to be a peacemaker. Wan'er's affairs allowed him to see the horror of the imperial society, so he didn't want Xue Shao to have too much conflict with Taiping.

However, Zhang Zong's words suddenly burned, and Taiping immediately said to him angrily: "Zhang Zong, Wan'er is my favorite maid, but now you have snatched it away. You must compensate me!"

"Compensation? What do you need to compensate the princess?" Zhang Zong laughed suddenly when he heard this. Taiping gathered all the favors of the whole world. Both Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang loved this daughter very much, and even wanted to pick all the stars in the sky to her. What could he compensate her?

"Perfume!" Taiping shouted for granted, "Wan'er is such a smart maid, and she can't find a second one in the entire palace. If you don't say anything else, it's okay to replace you with a thousand bottles of perfume!"

"One thousand bottles! Why don't you rob it?" Xue Shao next to him immediately burst into tears when he heard this. Although he had secretly warned himself not to always be in peace, for some reason, he would be furious as soon as he saw the other party.

Zhang Zong also turned dark. The production of perfume was very limited, and he had to make it all by hand by himself. He couldn't produce much in a year. He probably couldn't finish a thousand bottles even if he had done them for ten years.

It is rare that Princess Taiping ignored Xue Shao, and even saw that Zhang Zong’s face was not good. She immediately smiled and said, “If you think a thousand bottles are too much, then a hundred bottles are good? You must know that Wan'er is my favorite maid!”

"Is that so? How do I remember when we first met, you almost punished Wan'er for the soap and water incident?" Zhang Zong finally asked back.

"Where...you...you must have remembered it wrong. I'm good to Wan'er. If you don't believe it, please ask her yourself!" Taiping still forced himself to refuse to admit it. In the end, he pointed to Wan'er below and asked Zhang Zong to confront her in person.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled at this time, and did not admit it or deny it. In fact, with Taiping's strong and domineering nature, even if Shangguan Wan'er is careful to serve her, she will inevitably suffer grievances in normal times. Of course, with her cleverness, she will not tell her directly at this time. Even if she is no longer a maid of Taiping, she does not want to offend Taiping for this, which will cause trouble for Zhang Zong.

"Look, such a well-behaved maid is a cheap price for you to change to a hundred bottles of perfume. If you don't say anything, I will just consider you agree. When will you hand me a hundred bottles of perfume?" Taiping said shamelessly again. Her love for perfume was beyond imagination. As long as she seized the opportunity, she would make a note of Zhang Zong.

"I didn't agree, but because of your friendship with Wan'er, I can give you ten more bottles of perfume, but not for you at once, but for you in batches in the future!" Zhang Zong could not resist the other party's entanglement after all, and decided to take a step back and talk about it. Ten bottles of perfume could still bear for him.

"No, I agreed that one hundred bottles would be one hundred bottles. You clearly agreed just now!" As a result, Taiping was unhappy and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"When did I agree!" Zhang Zong was about to be upset. He had only heard of naughty kids being annoying, but today he finally saw it.

"Just just now, I don't care. Anyway, you have agreed that a hundred bottles of perfume cannot be missed!" Taiping also acted like a rogue at this time. From childhood to adulthood, as long as she wanted, it seemed that she had never been rejected.

"There are only ten bottles, do you want them?" Zhang Zong was too lazy to argue with the other party anymore. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room. The most effective way to deal with naughty children was to ignore him. Anyway, Taiping could not come down from the wall and chase him.

Sure enough, Zhang Zong turned around and left, but Taiping still kept arguing. Finally, Xue Shao also returned to the room, leaving Shangguan Wan'er alone to accompany Taiping. As a result, Taiping was tired after arguing for a while, so he calmed down and chatted with Wan'er in a low voice. When it was getting late, Taiping finally left. It was probably not easy for her to leave the palace, and it would not be possible for Zhang Zong to bother every day in the future.

Ni Nie Master and Luo Binwang also woke up before dark, but both of them had a splitting headache and had no way to go back by themselves. Fortunately, Xue Shao had a carriage, so he pulled the two drunks away and sent them back.

"Young Master, I heard from the princess that the queen of the sky is still a little angry about the eldest princess saving me from the palace. Now that I am here with the young master, I am worried that the queen of the sky will move her anger to the young master!" During dinner, Wan'er reminded Zhang Zong with great concern that she was not just chatting with Taiping, but took this opportunity to inquire about some things in the palace from Taiping, especially Wu Meiniang's reaction.

"Don't worry, even if the queen wants to take her anger on me, someone will help me block it. You can stay by my side with peace of mind. I will have everything else!" Zhang Zong comforted with a smile.

Although Wu Meiniang is terrible, Zhang Zong is not a vegetarian. Princess Chengyang and Li Hong are both on his side, and now there is one more Liu Rengui. These three people join forces. Not to mention Wu Meiniang, even if Li Zhi wants to touch him, it may not be an easy task.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard Zhang Zong say this, she was suddenly very moved. In the past, she was helpless in the palace, and even her mother could not help her. But now she suddenly felt that she had a support, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of security.

The autumn wind suddenly rises, and the weather becomes cooler day by day. Zhang Zong's flowerbed is also opening again. He likes flowers and plants, and prefers to share the flowers and plants he grows with others. So even if he is not short of money now, he will still open the door to do business as long as he has time.

A handsome young man with a beautiful elf and beautiful maid is with him. The two of them stood among the flowers, which made Zhang Zong's flowerbed almost a beautiful scenery in Qujiang Pond. Many people came here to see him. Even if they didn't buy flowers, seeing Zhang Zong's master and servant's style is enough to make people come back with fun.

However, just early this morning, when Zhang Zong and Wan'er were having breakfast, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Zhang Zong thought it was someone who came to buy flowers, so he opened the door himself, but when he saw the person outside the door, he was stunned.

"Goodbye to Mr. Zhang!" A middle-aged man in black outside the door immediately saluted Zhang Zong.

"Are you... a bad coach Zhou Wu?" Zhang Zong also felt very familiar when he saw this middle-aged man. Then he thought about it and then remembered that this man was the bad coach who went to see him with Luo Binwang when he solved the ghost case before.

"I didn't expect that my son still remembers it!" Zhou Wu immediately showed a happy expression when he heard Zhang Zong call out his name.

However, Zhang Zong's eyes fell on the middle-aged man behind Zhou Wu. He saw the other person wearing a green official uniform, a horizontal knife hanging around his waist, a rectangular face, short beards under his jaw, and a pair of bright and energetic eyes, looking extremely smart and capable.

"This is..." Zhang Zong looked at the middle-aged official behind Zhou Wu and asked curiously. Judging from the other party's official uniform, the other party's official position should be between the fifth and seventh ranks, which is the level of the Chang'an County Magistrate. However, he remembered that Luo Binwang said that the Chang'an County Magistrate is an old man, and he must not be the middle-aged man in front of him.
