When Zhang Shou heard such a scream that was obviously filled with fear, his first reaction was that it was too exaggerated, how could it happen so quickly? His second reaction was that it was too much to leave the culprit here in such a mysterious way. People might think that he had countless top masters around him, and the rumors would definitely be exaggerated.
But just as he saw Master Ma San lifted up the hem of his robe and rushed over to check what was going on, he heard a lazy voice in his ear: "Since the victim, the criminal, and the suspect of attempted murder are all going to be sent to the Wanping County Court, then we should also take Wang Si, who is accused of being the mastermind, with us, so as to avoid having to make another trip back!"
Zhang Shou knew who it was without even turning around. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Master Hua Qi, you're too quick, aren't you? But, are you going too far?"
Hua Qi, dressed in ordinary clothes, looked particularly innocent: "Didn't I ask Ah Liu to inform you, the birthday boy?"
Zhang Shou was immediately furious at the word "notify" which was so light-hearted. "Ah Liu only said that you would catch this guy who would be in trouble if he escaped, but he didn't say that you would catch him in this way! Do you believe that someone in the capital will say with certainty tomorrow that I must have a lot of top masters at home who appear and disappear mysteriously, and whoever offends me will suffer!"
"What's wrong with that?" Hua Qi said while yawning, "In a place like the capital, what we fear is having ambitions but no means, and having means but no manpower. You have everything, so those who dare to mess with you in the future will have to think twice. If I can scare them so that no one dares to plot against you again, then isn't this job I've done worth it? This way, I'll be less busy in the future."
Zhang Shou felt that Hua Qi's statement of being less busy in the future was a little wrong - it seemed that it did not only mean being less busy during the Imperial Chef Selection Competition. Therefore, he raised his eyebrows and immediately asked, "What do you mean by being less busy in the future? This event will only last for ten days or half a month. If you kill a chicken to scare the monkey today, won't you and your people have some free time in the future?"
"Heh." Hua Qi smiled and said nonchalantly, "I was placed in the Zhaoguogong Mansion to protect Miss Yingying before, but since Miss Yingying was going to marry you, why should I stay in the Zhaoguogong Mansion at that time? Would I let Zhaoguogong take care of me in my old age? I will rely on you to support me in the future, so if I work harder now, won't I be less busy in the future?"
You're actually going to come to my house with Zhu Ying as a dowry? Ahem, this doesn't seem to count as a dowry... but the meaning is the same!
Zhang Shou was feeling overwhelmed, and was urgently assessing the series of problems that this madman, as Ah Liu called him, would bring to his home. There was no doubt that from the perspective of security, Zhang Garden, which was originally under-trained, had a loose security level, and most of the time relied on Ah Liu to support the interior and exterior, was undoubtedly a stabilizing force.
However, from the perspective of stability, can he control Hua Qi? If he can't control him, if he acts on his own like today, it will be a big problem! Therefore, in just a moment, he immediately responded: "People like you, Mr. Hua Qi, are sought after everywhere, but I'm afraid my small temple can't accommodate a great Bodhisattva like you."
