Chapter 1312 Meeting

   And here, as soon as Master Zhong walked out of the front hall, he bumped into the butler who came over.

   "Master, there is a letter here."

  Master Zhong lowered his head, seeing the familiar paper of the envelope, his pupils shrank, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and asked angrily, "Who sent it here!"

  The butler didn't expect the master to react so strongly, and said tremblingly: "It's a beggar."

   "Go, get that beggar back." Master Zhong was so angry that his chest heaved, he ordered sharply.

  The steward nodded hurriedly: "Your servant will go now."

   Said and ran out anxiously.

  Master Zhong didn't leave, he just stood in the yard and opened the envelope.

  There is only one sentence in the envelope: "At noon tomorrow, put the silver under the old locust tree on Huaishu Street, and there is no need to meet."

  Master Zhong frowned. Before that, he wondered why the other party proposed to see his son. After all, the other party should want to conceal his identity.

  But now, within half a day, the other party changed his mind on his own initiative.

  Master Zhong is not stupid. On the contrary, the more urgent the matter is, the calmer he will be, and he feels that everything has a reason.

  Based on this idea, he suddenly thought of something, could it be that the other party wanted to find his son to confirm something?

  Master Zhong tore up all the letters and strode out.

  Master Zhong went directly to Zhang Tongzhi.

   Zhang Tongzhi has a good relationship with Mr. Zhong. Both of them are smart people. The Zhong family has a big business and supports the Zhang family in terms of money, and the Zhang family in turn supports the Zhong family.

  Thus, the two are regarded as a mutually beneficial relationship, not to mention that this time Zhong Yan was admitted as a scholar and became a lin student.

   As long as Zhong Yan, a nephew, is a little bit more confident and admitted to Juren, or even a Jinshi, the Zhong family will turn around, and the Zhang family will follow suit.

  Therefore, Zhang Tongzhi saw Master Zhong coming, welcomed him into the hall with a smile on his face, and asked his servants to prepare tea.

   "Brother Zhang, there is something I need to tell you. Let's go to the study." Master Zhong said with a frown, obviously thinking about something.

  Zhang Tongzhi was older than Master Zhong. As an uncle, he had a deeper thought than Master Zhong, so he nodded and led him into the study without asking too many questions.

   After the servants served the tea, Zhang Tongzhi called everyone out, and after a while there were only two people left in the room.

  Zhang Tongzhi brought him a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

   "It's Zhong Yan's mistake!" Mr. Zhong was a little angry when he mentioned this matter, and explained it clearly in a few words.

  Zhang Tongzhi's hand holding the teacup was a little heavy, and after listening to it, his face was also very ugly.

   "How could this be? I remember Yan'er's strength, and he can be admitted to the scholar, why cheat!" Zhang Tongzhi frowned: "Did you ask Yan'er, where did he hear that he could buy test papers?"

  This kind of thing is tricky, and it was Zhang Tongzhi's first reaction.

"I asked. He heard those students talk about it when they were bored. However, because of this, someone seized the opportunity and took the initiative to morning him." Master Zhong tried to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "I went to test the teacher. Master Yu, except for Zhong Yan, no one answered the same as him, so it can be seen that he is the only one who has this test paper in his hand."

   "If it's to make money, why doesn't the other party sell a few more copies." Mr. Zhong thinks this is the strangest thing: "Brother, what do you think? Is there something wrong with the yamen recently?"

  Zhang Tongzhi shook his head: "No, there haven't been any conflicts in the Yamen recently."
