In fact, compared with Zhang Xie's excellent singing and songwriting, Huo Nan's performance can be described as poor.
But people always tend to believe what they want to believe, so Zhang Xie did not doubt it.
After Huo Nan returned, he told Yan Shiyue.
Yan Shiyue's mood was a little complicated. She couldn't help but ask Huo Qijing: "Did I lead your apprentice astray?"
Huo Qijing said calmly: "Anan is not a child anymore, he knows what he is doing."
He tapped her forehead gently: "I was thinking that I wouldn't let you teach me after we have a child. Now it seems... it's not bad to let you teach me. At least I won't suffer any loss."
"Hey!" She rarely complained about him, staring at him: "What do you mean you can't teach me? I'm obviously an extremely good teacher and friend!"
"Well," he asked her with a smile, "So, where's the baby?"
She choked and groaned for a long time, "What's the point of telling me! My words don't count."
Huo Qijing said: "I just..."
...
...
Halfway through his words, he suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. She was a soft, fragrant little thing. He pressed the back of her head with one hand and pressed her hair with his chin...
Only when he held her like this did he feel that she was truly his. He was really fed up with the torment of being separated from her and listening to news about her one by one.
But just as she would not stop him from going to the battlefield, he would not stop her from being the "Prime Minister".
He sighed, lowered his head, and kissed the top of her head gently, one by one.
She stayed in his arms very obediently, not moving, with her little hands on his waist.
After a while, he slowly pulled away. Then he seamlessly continued what he had just said: "…I thought of one thing. Your Highness the Crown Prince is our matchmaker."
So starting from the next day, Huo Qijing went to the East Palace to eat.
On the first day, the prince had not yet come to his senses. After all, it was really hard to think of a person like Huo Qijing as a "cheapskate".
But after two days in a row, he didn't have anything to say at the table and just left after eating... The prince finally understood.
After understanding the situation, the prince was very happy, and he went to tell Emperor Mingyan about it. Emperor Mingyan was both angry and happy, and finally informed Yan Chengyuan. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated an auspicious date, which was February 19th of the next year.
At the same time, Emperor Ming Yan also granted him a house, which gave him just a few months to take care of it.
It was finally settled, and Huo Qijing's sullen face showed joy. He was now in charge of the Yulin Army and had to attend court. Many people saw this, and it invisibly dispelled the rumors that the young couple's relationship was indeed very good.
At the same time, Yan Shiyue always brought her two apprentices with her whenever she went out, fully demonstrating her reliance on them. She also cooperated with Zhang Xie in a performance when she met him.
When they met again, Huo Nan "lost his patience" and said to him: "I will no longer trust you, and I will no longer count on you. I will ask my master's wife to avenge my mother and sister! Our father-son relationship is severed from now on!"
Zhang Xie panicked at that time.
Zhang Xie was a man who was willing to sell his wife and daughter for power in the past, and he can be so cruel now. If he doesn't do it, it's fine. But if he does it, he will trample Li Jinzhong so hard that he can't stand up.
Zhang Xie has followed Li Jinzhong for so many years, and they are related. What dirty things doesn't he know?
As for Li Jinzhong, his biggest flaw was that he was lustful and preferred other people's wives, so Zhang Xie reported four real cases of wife-stealing and murder to him at once.
The evidence was complete. And he was very considerate and did not hand it to Yan Shiyue, but to Yao Qiang, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Yao Qiang is Jin Heqiao's nephew.
Jin Hejiao was trying his best to deal with them. Even a mere rumor would be enough to kill him, not to mention that his evidence was very detailed.
Within a few days, several cases were verified and Li Jinzhong was sentenced to immediate execution.
Lin Fujian lost another arm.
Li Jinzhong is not stupid. Even if Zhang Xie did not show up, he could almost guess who did it after thinking about it.
As the saying goes, "a dying person needs someone to take the blame", he immediately filed a complaint against Zhang Xie.
Zhang Xie was panicked at that time. He was thrown into the Dali Temple prison and locked up with Li Jinzhong. He waited anxiously for Huo Nan to come and see him, but Huo Nan never even showed up.
Zhang Xie had no choice but to tell his wife to go find him.
Zhang blocked Huo Nan at the gate of Fu Yan Mansion.
Yan Shiyue pretended not to see it. Everyone filed in, leaving only Huo Nan.
Huo Nan sat on a tall horse, looking down at the woman who was dressed luxuriously but looked frightened. At that moment, he deeply understood what "power" meant.
Because of the word power, the hatred that he was willing to burn his boats and cross his river for, became so understated, as if he had achieved it before he even started.
Honan only said, "I will go. You don't have to come again."
Zhang nodded repeatedly, and without daring to ask when he would go, she hurriedly retreated.
The next day, Huo Nan went to the Dali Temple carrying a package.
He is now a captain of the Dragon Guard and a disciple of the popular Prince Fu Yan. The people in the Dali Temple didn't even dare to take his money and directly asked him to go in.
The cells of Li Jinzhong and Zhang Xie were next to each other. The master and servant, who had been in cahoots with each other, had completely fallen out and were sitting far away from each other.
When Zhang Xie saw Huo Nan go in, he immediately became spirited. He rushed over and grabbed the iron railing: "Liang'er! Liang'er, you are finally here!"
Honan nodded: "Of course I will come."
Zhang Xie said, "Liang'er, please quickly ask His Highness to rescue me."
Huo Nan asked him, "Didn't you do what Li Jinzhong accused you of?" Zhang Xie choked, and Huo Nan said, "You are not wronged... When have you ever seen my master's wife show favoritism?"
Zhang Xie was speechless.
Huo Nan continued slowly: "Besides, why should I plead for you?" He looked at him and continued slowly: "Back then, wasn't it you who took the initiative to give your mother and sister to that beast? You deserve it!"
Zhang Xie’s eyes suddenly widened.
Li Jinzhong also listened to every word and suddenly burst into laughter.
Zhang Xie angrily said, "Did you do this on purpose? Did you ask me to sue him on purpose?! Did you frame me on purpose?!"
Huo Nan said, "Didn't he do what you reported? Doesn't he deserve this fate?"
Zhang Xie was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said, "I am your father! Rebellious son, I am your real father!"
Huo Nan chuckled: "So, if you die, I will collect your body... If you want more, there is none."
Zhang Xie was panting with anger, and Huo Nan immediately turned around and walked in front of Li Jinzhong.
Li Jinzhong was now counting the days until his death, but he was completely relaxed. He said, "Very good, another one who sacrifices his relatives for the sake of justice. Your master will fall for this. You have submitted this letter of surrender, and it is well done! You have submitted it well! A meteoric rise to the top is just around the corner! You are smarter than your father!"
He gave him a thumbs up like a madman.
Huo Nanli ignored him. He took out two spirit tablets from his bag and said, "Knock your head ten times to my mother and sister."
Li Jinzhong laughed: "They deserve it."
Huo Nan said: "Twenty."
Li Jinzhong said: "You think..." He suddenly choked.
He died, but his wife and children are still alive.
He suddenly put away all his expressions and stared at him intently.
Honan also looked at him without flinching.
After a long while, Li Jinzhong finally got up, walked to the door, knelt down suddenly, and then started to kowtow one by one.
He kowtowed twenty times accurately, until his forehead bled. He then stood up and shook his messy hair: "It's good and bad to follow a master like this. If you are a good person, she will protect you as long as she is alive. But if you make a mistake, she will take your life with her own hands."
He looked at her with a sly smile: "Even if you hold a high position, what's the point?"
Huo Nan sneered, held the tablet and placed it in front of Zhang Xie again.
Zhang Xie said slowly: "For the sake of our blood relationship, please help me take care of your brother and sister-in-law."
Huo Nan said: "My last name is Huo."
Zhang Xie gnashed his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you for being disobedient and unfilial?"
"Sue whatever you want."
Zhang Xie said angrily: "If I had known this would happen, I would have beaten you to death that day!"
He still said calmly: "You have no chance."
Zhang Xie was furious and cursed the heavens and the earth. Huo Nan looked at him quietly for a while, then picked up the tablet and was about to leave.
But when he really wanted to leave, Zhang Xie became afraid again. He said in a trembling voice, "Liang'er, come back. I know that what I did that day was wrong! I regret it! Go and beg His Highness! Go and beg His Highness..."
Huo Nan passed by Lin Fujian without even turning his head.
Lin Fujian had been standing here for a long time, listening to every word, and finally understood where he had fallen this time.
