After the Guanglu Temple, did they also clear out the Nancheng Bingmasi from top to bottom

When Ah Liu had been fighting in Nancheng for a few days and obtained a general situation report, and discovered the deep darkness that shrouded the people of Nancheng, Zhang Shou also wanted to do the same. But the problem was that the reason why he suggested holding such a royal chef selection conference was because there were too many major and minor events happening in the court recently, so he wanted to divert attention, not to continue to cause trouble!

Sending a Fourth Master Wang to the Wanping County Office could be said to be because he himself was almost caught as a fugitive slave, so the principle of equal retaliation was adopted. But if the scope of the cleansing is expanded to include the South City Military Division... then wouldn't the previous diversion of attention be in vain? The old men in the court would surely suddenly realize that, oh, what chef selection competition, that was a hidden purpose!

He was definitely looking for trouble with the Nancheng Bingmasi!

Therefore, Zhang Shou not only used the metaphor of boiling a frog in warm water to make Zhu Ying calm down, but also told the young lady another thing. Needless to say, Hua Qi said that Zhu Tingfang would come back to take charge of the South City Military Department and promote the military commander to the fourth rank. Sure enough, when he helplessly said that Hua Qi had framed him for the promotion, Zhu Ying immediately frowned.

"Uncle Hua, how could you do this! Ah Shou, you are right. The South City Army should not move immediately. I will go to the palace and tell the emperor! Well, if it is too late, I will live directly with Concubine Yu in Yonghe Palace. You don't have to worry about me!"

Seeing that Zhu Ying was leaving in a hurry, Zhang Shou felt a little guilty. He couldn't help but hold Zhu Ying's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not hide my shopping and eating from you again. Wait until August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, our birthdays, and then go there together to join in the fun!"

"Okay!" Zhu Ying smiled happily, and then she looked at the two people's tightly clasped hands, and she whispered, "I wanted to discuss Xie Wanquan's matter with you. That fat guy Lu Sanlang actually treated me like a gossip. If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him. This matter has already been resolved. But it doesn't matter anyway, I'll talk to you later!"

"Then let's talk about it when you are free!" Zhang Shou originally wanted to use this matter to embarrass Lu Wan. There was no need to be in such a hurry. He was still single, so he didn't have the leisure to take care of Xie Wanquan's lifelong affairs!

After notifying Zhu Hong and others and sending Zhu Ying to the gate, Zhang Shou saw her jump on the horseback, and her gorgeous figure in a red dress gradually disappeared from sight amidst the crowd. Only then did he gently rub his brows, and then counted the days left on August 15th with his fingers. Even though he could calculate it easily, this ritualistic calculation made him sigh.

Well, there are still four days... And this seems to be the fifth Mid-Autumn Festival he has spent in this world. Counting the first three, only Mrs. Wu and Aunt Liu were busy making mooncakes, it was a bit lonely on the Mid-Autumn Festival and birthday. Since meeting Zhu Ying, let alone that birthday, he seemed to spend every day lively and exciting. Compared with the slow pace of living in the countryside, it really passed very quickly.

Zhu Ying came out of Zhang Garden and hurried into the palace without going back to Duke Zhao's Mansion. To some people who were keeping an eye on Zhang Shou all the time, this was a sign of another big storm. For example, Grand Secretary Kong believed that Zhang Shou was the best at making trouble and even asserted to his disciples and friends that after the Guanglu Temple, the next one to be purged would most likely be the Nancheng Bingmasi.
