"Brother Chen, you didn't even call me for such a big event! Last time, we teamed up to catch those 20 or 30 rebels. The emperor came to my house and gave me a set of four treasures of the study. My stepmother was so angry that her face was longer than a horse's!"
"That's right, Brother Zhang, even if you can just send a quick message to the capital, I'll rush to Haidian Manor and at least punish those servants in my manor who are more arrogant than their masters. Make them flatter my eldest brother and ignore me!"
"Zhang Chen, tell me and my third brother quickly, how did the teacher and Sister Yingying show their magical powers the night before last and catch the two big fish that had escaped the net? I heard that the Tianzhenhai Camp and several other troops had searched the entire capital and northern Zhili again and again, but they couldn't find any trace of them! This time they fell into the hands of the teacher and Sister Yingying, they are so embarrassed!"
Lu Sanlang watched coldly with a brush in his mouth. He saw Zhang Chen surrounded by people like a star, and they all asked him about what he saw and heard in the Haidian Garden. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but still felt a little unhappy.
How could Zhang Chen catch the person? It was because Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying happened to run into him! Otherwise, how could such an impulsive fool like Zhang Chen contribute to the capture of the rebels alive
Zhang Chen didn't notice Lu Sanlang's contemptuous look at all, because he couldn't handle the inquiries, flattery, interrogation, and sarcasm from all directions. He didn't expect that after he hurriedly returned to Beijing and arrived home yesterday evening, someone from the palace suddenly came to award him a reward, and the reason made him dumbfounded.
Although it was just an oral instruction, he praised him greatly. The core meaning was that he, the only son of Duke Qin, had made great contributions in capturing the rebels! He was completely confused after hearing this. It seemed that he had just cleaned up his own Qin Garden, caught a few guys who sneaked in to gamble, and then found a servant who had dealings with the Linhai Camp in the past
What else did he do? How did he achieve merit? At most, he tied up those people and threw them to Shuntian Prefecture Government Office according to the charges suggested by Zhang Shou, that's all!
Zhang Chen still felt confused, but he had to pretend to be cold and arrogant on the surface, and ignored most people's questions. Only when he was with the third and fourth princes, he had to be a little more patient, but this patience was just a little more serious when answering: "When the teacher comes, let's ask him. He is the real hero."
So when Zhang Shou walked into the Banshan Hall, he saw a lot of eyes suddenly falling on him like searchlights. Since he had met Xu Heizi in the Shengqian Hall when he first came to the Imperial College, he roughly understood what had happened. After the initial surprise, he couldn't help but secretly praise the emperor's high-profile award to Zhang Chen.
This is exactly the same as what he did before when he searched Zhao Garden, he specifically encouraged Zhang Chen to go back and search Qin Garden, and then released the news to let other families start self-inspection and self-correction!
But at this moment, he had no intention of telling these students the story of last night. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.
