342 Don't air your dirty laundry in public
Wang Chufeng was very decisive in his work. During lunch the next day, he quietly told Ping An that the matter had already been passed on to the man named Mu, and the rest of the matter would be clear by that evening.
"What are you two whispering about?" Huo Zhi pretended to be annoyed, "I've only been away for a few days and you're already hanging around?"
Wang Chufeng laughed: "Huo Zhi, what you said is true. Ping An and I are brothers."
Ping An asked, "How is the matter with Hua Shou Tang going? I see you have lost some weight."
Huo Zhi sighed: "Ping An, please don't start so many businesses in the future. It's annoying. My son and grandson might suffer from it. No matter how much money you earn, it can only provide three meals a day and you can only sleep in one bed. It's really unnecessary."
During this period, he was extremely annoyed by all the big and small matters at Huashou Hall. He skipped his afternoon classes and went back to the medical clinic or home when the time came. He was surrounded by many people and many things every day.
On the contrary, Ping'an stayed in the academy in the afternoons these days just for the arithmetic preliminaries.
Ping An smiled and said, "If others heard what you said, they might say you are showing off, but I took it to heart. The silver cannot be too little, but it doesn't have to be too much either. But in the future, if my master scolds me for being lazy, I will say that Huo Zhi taught me that."
Huo Zhi grinned and said, "No, no, I'm a little scared of your master. I'm safe. I'm back. I think I'll be back to your house in ten more days."

Soon after the meal, Wang Chufeng received information. First, the Mu man was sure he had fallen into a trap and had already gone to the Mu family farm, which was closest to Shuangqing Temple, in advance, and he had kept it a secret from the Mu family.
Ping An immediately ordered Xiao Wu and Lin Feng to carry out the first plan first. This was what he had discussed with them last night. As soon as they got Wang Chufeng's information, the two of them would disguise themselves and go out of the city, find the scum at night, and prevent him from harming anyone from then on.
As long as he succeeded, he would go directly to his own farm the next day.
Because that bastard named Mu can't hurt people anymore, they just go to the temple, and Da Wu and the others are enough.
The second piece of news Wang Chufeng received was that people from the second house had sent a lot of stalkers to follow him in the past two days. They only saw a few servants and guards he had in public, but they didn't know that he had secret guards given by his parents.
Of course, we can't blame them for being careless. He indeed hasn't had many followers in recent years, and he has always seemed careless and not very smart.
His second uncle worked as a seventh-rank official in a county town in Linzhou with his concubine. He had no choice but to pass the imperial examination at the age of thirty, and he was a grandson of a noble. It was only because of his grandfather that he could become a county magistrate.
He didn't believe that his second uncle had no idea about what happened to his second aunt and her two sons?
If something really happened to him, the crown prince would be his second cousin. If his father was too sad because of his son, the future Duke of Jingguo would be his second uncle himself.
In the afternoon, at the entrance of the academy, Ping An was waiting for Wang Qing. Wang Chufeng caught up with him from behind and said casually, "Ping An, I'll take you to the newly opened Yiguoxiangchi Tangguo. I heard that the taste is very good."
Ping pretended not to go: "I'm waiting for Brother Wang. I have to accompany him to Shuangqing Temple early tomorrow morning. It's not convenient tonight. Let's go another day."
Wang Chufeng said loudly: "What's the inconvenience? You can send the people back first. I will wait for you at the restaurant. I just prepared the pot in advance. You can take the carriage tomorrow. I don't want you to walk. You can sleep in the carriage."
"Okay, Brother Wang is here, I'll take him back to rest first."
When Ping An turned his back, Wang Chufeng tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth. He and Ping An were indeed half-brothers. Their acting was exactly the same as the real thing.
Really interesting.
He really wanted to perform a little longer, but unfortunately Ping An turned his back.
In fact, Ping An was also laughing in his heart. This young man Chu Feng really had his own way of doing things, which was very funny.
Wang Qing said, "Ping An, I agree to do it, but I don't have the time, will it be a burden to you?"
Ping An leaned close to his ear and told him that Xiao Wu and Lin Feng had already left the city.
"If things go well, Mr. Mu won't have the time to send people to block us tomorrow. Of course, I'm not afraid even if he does. In a word, believe me, I will definitely help you through this difficult time.
The capital city is not a good place. Next year, when my brother passes the imperial examination, he should go back to the county town and start as a county magistrate. If he is really transferred back to the capital city in the future, at least many years will have passed, and you will have grown into a big tree."
Wang Qing's voice choked up: "Ping An, I am so lucky to have met you in this life. Even if I live far away from you in the future, I will always miss you. In my heart, you are my dear brother."
After returning home, Ping An set up a trap outside Wang Qing's room just in case, and taught Wang Qing how to get out and how to get in again.
"Brother, don't be careless tonight. Just stay in your room and don't go out. I'll take Erqiang, Fangwu, and Dawu out later. There will be four or five people left in the house. Don't worry."
Wang Qing nodded: "I'll listen to you, be safe, be careful."
He returned to his yard safely, changed into a black suit inside and a sky-blue brocade cloak outside. He put several kinds of medicine in his inner pockets, sleeve pockets, and arms. He had a dagger in his deerskin boots and a short crossbow in his arms.
Winter is really a good time. No matter how much stuff you carry, there is always a place to hide it, and a cloak can cover many places that might otherwise be exposed.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Wang Chufeng had already booked a private room on the second floor, and the guards set up a table for themselves in the lobby on the second floor.
When I entered the room, the food was already on the table, steaming hot.
Ping An took a look and found that it was similar to the hot pot in his previous life, a large iron hot pot with charcoal fire burning in the middle and soup and vegetables around it.
The hot pot was full of dishes, and there were four other large dishes on the table.
"How can we finish eating all this?"
Wang Chufeng was surprised and said, "Ping An, if my friends heard this, they would definitely laugh at you for being unsophisticated. Why did you have to finish it?"
"Chu Feng, I see you only have four guards outside. I brought three with me. How many more do you have? The layout is someone else's. Don't get yourself involved."
Wang Chufeng smiled: "Don't worry, I'll find my uncle after thinking about it. He has to take care of this matter. I'll hand him over to him after I catch him, and then go back with him. Don't worry, I will never tell you about that. Tomorrow morning, I'll have two people protect you on the way and they won't show up."
"Okay, your arrangement is very good. Eat. We may have to fight hard later. Chu Feng, you have to follow behind me. Don't be careless."
Wang Chufeng raised the corners of his lips: "Ping An, after this matter is dealt with, I will find time to teach you the stick method, and you teach me the Qinggong."
Ping An nodded and told his master and Uncle Ming about this. It would be fine to exchange the light skill for the stick skill, but the snow-walking skill could not be taught.
Wang Chufeng picked up a bowl of food for Ping An and said, "Eat quickly. This is for warmth. Today is November 12th. You will have the competition on the 18th. My grandfather, parents will be back before the end of the month.
No, after tonight, my uncle will go find my grandfather, and my grandfather will definitely handle this matter, otherwise the family shame will be exposed to the outside world.
My grandfather would never allow this. The most important thing to him was face and a position held by my second uncle.
