Zhang Jingan's room was originally Zhang Longxiang's wife's room.
Most of the other places in the Zhang Mansion were in ruins, but this room was clean and maintained its original appearance. It was as if it was independent of the Marquis of Zhujiang Mansion.
Fang Yun stood in front of the dressing table. Little Jing An stood in front of the bed. His intelligent eyes revealed a nervous expression.
"Ten years ago, I was captured by the King Of Chu and imprisoned. I haven't been able to see you since. I have to bear the responsibility for your mother's and Uncle Hua's deaths. I'm the one at fault for your suffering all these years. As your father, I apologize to you. "
Zhang Jingan suddenly panicked. His face flushed. He was excited and nervous. He didn't expect his father to say such things to him. He didn't know how to respond. Although he hated Zhang Longxiang, he was just looking for a target to hate. In fact, he knew that Zhang Longxiang was more unlucky than most people in this whole matter.
After a long time, Fang Yun slowly said, "This whole thing is very strange. I must get to the bottom of it! Unfortunately, I was in prison for ten years and had no news. I have no clue. Uncle Hua must have told you a lot of things. Tell me one by one. "
Zhang Jingan looked up at Fang Yun. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa Hua is actually very tight-lipped. In the past few years, he only told me things that you all know. For example, how he became a Jinshi, how he entered the Hanlin Academy, how he fought demons and barbarians, and how he made that old dog Gou Bao bow his head and admit his mistakes. However, I don't understand why he rarely mentioned you. "
"I was much worse than your grandfather in those years. It's normal that Uncle Hua didn't mention me," Fang Yundao said.
"Well, maybe. In short, he only talked about how powerful grandpa was. He didn't talk about any secret information. It wasn't until Grandpa Hua was injured by Gou Zhi that he occasionally became confused. Whenever he was awake, he would tell me some secrets. "
"Then tell me those secrets," Fang Yundao said.
"There are a lot of secrets that I can't remember all at once. I'll just tell you whatever comes to mind. I'll tell you when I remember them in the future. The secret he told most often. His grandfather wasn't a traitor, but a great hero of the Two World Mountain. He had once fought in the Two World Mountain and achieved glorious results. You will become the respected Grand Scholar of Mount Two Worlds, "Zhang Jingan said.
"I don't even know when your grandfather participated in the battle of Borderline Mountain," Fang Yundao said.
"Ah? Grandpa Hua didn't mention the specific time. Are there many battles in the Two World Mountain? "Zhang Jingan asked.
Fang Yundao: "Of course. The first Battle of Borderline Mountain had a total of eight battles and lasted for several years. Before and after the Battle of Two Worlds Mountain, they had experienced many battles. There were at least five battles that could be called battles. If there isn't a specific time, I don't know which battle your grandfather participated in. "
Zhang Jingan scratched his head and said, "I don't know either."
"Forget it. You can continue. Maybe I can deduce it after I know more," Fang Yundao said.
"Okay. Okay. Grandpa Hua said that after my grandfather defeated the barbarians, he once held the Pearl River Army flag and stood on Two World Mountain, winning glory for the literary world! "Zhang Jingan said.
Fang Yundao kept thinking. The possibility of Zhang Wankong making contributions was very small, but the possibility of him participating in the battle of Two World Mountain wasn't small. This was because the human race had been cooperating with the people of the Kong Shengwen Realm all these years. Some of the more powerful people of the literary world used the Kong Shengwen Realm's passage to reach the outside world and then used special powers to stay for several hours or days.
The Notre-Dame didn't disclose these things, but Fang Yundao had heard these rumors when he talked with the older scholars. He didn't care about it before, so he didn't ask in detail.
Even in the Kong Shengwen Realm, Grand Scholars were precious. This kind of experimental operation naturally fell on the Grand Scholars. Zhang Wankong was one of the best among the Grand Scholars. He was also an upright scholar, so it was normal for him to risk his life to participate.
"How did Uncle Hua know? My father didn't even tell me, "Fang Yundao said.
Zhang Jingan shook his head. He said, "I didn't ask, but from Grandpa Hua's tone, my grandfather seemed to have some difficulties later, so he revealed some truth to Grandpa Hua. Oh right, after you were arrested, Mother and Grandpa Hua were all arrested. Except for you, they were released one after another. I vaguely remember that those corrupt officials asked Mother and Grandpa Hua to shut up and forbid them from talking nonsense. "
Fang Yundao nodded and said, "Continue."
"Grandpa Hua also said that my grandfather was definitely not a traitor, and the Pearl River Army couldn't betray the Chu State and the human race. We must wait for my grandfather to come back, and the truth will come to light at that time. But before my grandfather comes back, I will have a hard time … Alas, why am I so unlucky? I have to bear the infamy of being a traitor at such a young age. Fortunately, my mind is as hard as stone. If it were those playboys, they would have gone crazy long ago … "
Fang Yundao interrupted Zhang Jingan and said, "Are you done boasting? Say something serious! "
"Cough …"
Next, Zhang Jingan tirelessly told him everything he knew.
Fang Yundao listened carefully and kept it in his heart. He kept guessing, but in the end, he could only guess dozens of possibilities, but he was completely unable to solve this traitor's mystery.
Zhang Jingan's mouth was dry from talking, and he kept drinking water. By nightfall, he had already drunk two full ladles of well water.
After Zhang Jingan finished, Fang Yundao calmly pondered. Before long, Fang Yundao asked, "Where are the servants of Zhang Mansion?"
Zhang Jingan revealed a nostalgic expression and said, "After they were released, some fled, some left, and some even robbed our family's belongings. Mother was kind. Not only did she not pursue those people, she even gave the remaining property to those who stayed behind and let them leave. Some of them didn't want to leave, but they couldn't dissuade her. They were also very kind. Even if they left, some of them would still come to our Marquis' mansion to deliver New Year goods and money. Since mother passed away, fewer and fewer people came. On the first day of this year, only four families came. If I tell you their names, you'll definitely remember. "
Fang Yun asked, "How are the four families doing?"
"They're neither good nor bad. It's said that the local officials have been keeping an eye on them, and some of their relatives and neighbors have also cut off contact with them. However, they're still doing well with what they earned in the Marquis' mansion. If it wasn't for my mother telling me not to implicate them, I would even live in their house, "Zhang Jingan said.
Fang Yun was silent for a moment and said, "After a few days, when the Zhang Mansion is tidied up, bring people to invite them back and settle them down properly."
"But …"
"Since I'm back, the Marquis of Zhujiang's mansion will never fall! Even the King Of Chu can forget about touching a single brick or tile of the Marquis of Zhujiang's mansion! "Fang Yundao said.
Zhang Jingan said softly, "You're even better at boasting than I was when I was in the southern part of the city. I almost believed you!"
Fang Yun looked unhappily at Zhang Jingan and said, "Tomorrow, bring the four families back. From the day after tomorrow, you'll go to school every day to study! If you really can't do it, I'll spend money to hire a teacher to teach you at home. "
Zhang Jingan was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately stood up and stared at Fang Yun and said loudly, "I just won't study! I won't go to school! If you force me, I'll go to the southern part of the city to beg for food! "
Fang Yun smiled coldly and said, "Beg for food? Sure! "
Zhang Jingan looked blankly at Fang Yun. He vaguely felt that he had made a very serious mistake. This father of his seemed to be even more difficult to deal with than the rumors said.
