Chapter 110: The Curse of the Witch Gu

Zhang Jiu didn't know what Qin Ce and Zhou Zezheng said, and he didn't want to know what they said, so he quickly put his unhappiness of meeting Zhou Zezheng behind him, and he had a good time on this outing.

While Zhang Jiu and Qin Ce were enjoying their honeymoon in peace and contentment, another event that shocked the government and the public happened in Daqin. The fifth prince, Qin Shuyue, and his mother, Concubine Chen Gui, were suspected of witchcraft. The scourge of witchcraft was always the emperor's fault Taboo, under the conclusive evidence, Qin Shu and Concubine Chen could not argue with each other. Qin Hongyuan was furious and sent Concubine Chen to the cold palace, while Qin Shu was imprisoned for life.

This matter has nothing to do with Zhang Jiu, and Qin Ce is now dismissed at home. The two just went to the palace to see Qin Hongyuan as a routine after knowing this, and pretended to intercede for Qin Shu, but in the end There is still no change, of course, this is also the result that Qin Ce is very satisfied with.

Several families are happy and some are sad, because the Chen family, which was implicated by witchcraft, has become the target of public criticism at this moment, anyone will make trouble, the situation is very difficult, and Chen Zhuo, the eldest son of Chen, is even more so overnight. After a thorough experience, he thought of Zhang Jiu when he was at a loss.

At this time, Zhang Jiu, who had taken a long vacation for himself, had just started his normal work under Jiang Ning's nagging complaints. Looking at the tall stack of ledgers brought by Jiang Ning in front of him, Zhang Jiu looked at Jiang Ning motionlessly, sharply His eyes seemed to want to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows.

"Jiu Ye, don't look at me like this, okay, Brother Heng Zhi will be jealous if he finds out." Seen by Zhang Jiu's creepy eyes, Jiang Ning moved back a little step.

"Xiao Ning." Zhang Jiu pursed his lips and put his hand on the ledger, "What are you doing these days?"

"Of course I'm working. I wake up early every day, and I almost don't even have time to eat. But for us to make more money and for our happy life in the future, this bit of suffering is nothing to me. I I will definitely work harder, Master Jiu, don't worry," Jiang Ning said with righteous words.

Since it's been so hard, what's going on with these books?Zhang Jiu will never be easily fooled by Jiang Ning. No matter how he looks at it, he feels that this is a backlog of accounts for more than a month. Zhang Jiu sighed and said, "Since you have worked so hard, why don't I give you a long vacation? What do you think?" Sample?"

"No, no, I can bear this bit of suffering." Jiang Ning hurriedly waved his hand. Based on his usual experience, the more caring Zhang Jiu is now, the more ruthless Zhang Jiu's revenge on him will be in a while.

"Is it really not necessary?" Zhang Jiu asked unwillingly.

"Really no need," Jiang Ning replied with great certainty.

"Okay then," Zhang Jiu replied reluctantly, "I wanted you to rest for a few days and recover enough energy before returning to work. Since you don't need it, then start to read all these books. I think three days is enough, what do you think?"

He thought he would never finish reading, so Jiang Ning sniffed, and said to Zhang Jiu in a crying voice, "Master Jiu, please spare me, after reading these books in three days, you might as well kill me, you know that, I'm not particularly sensitive to numbers, isn't it difficult for you to force others?"

"It's difficult for others?" Zhang Jiu sneered, "Didn't I give you more than a month, what were you doing during this month? I heard that you and Qin Yue chatted and made friends every day. If you don’t have great self-confidence, how can you gather together to do all the things you should do? Three days should be enough for you, right?”

"Master Jiu, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me this time." Seeing the incident revealed, Jiang Ning immediately admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, as long as he was not allowed to read this troublesome account, no matter what.

"You really know you're wrong?" Zhang Jiu asked Jiang Ning sideways.

"I really know I was wrong, Master Jiu, I will never dare next time," Jiang Ning promised.

"But why do I feel that last time you said that you would never dare next time?" Zhang Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, with a look of disbelief.

"I promise it's the last time"

"You seem to have said this sentence last time," Zhang Jiu reminded him.

"Master Jiu, tell me, what do you want to let me go?" Jiang Ning looked at Zhang Jiu pitifully. If she didn't feel too embarrassed, Jiang Ning really wanted to hug Zhang Jiu's arm and beg for mercy.

Zhang Jiu was not moved by Jiang Ning at all, but he also took a step back, pointed to another stack of ledgers on the table and said, "I won't make things difficult for you, you should read it as soon as possible."

Jiang Ning wiped away the non-existent tears, and resignedly walked towards the tall stack of ledgers. It wasn't that he didn't want to bargain, but that the result would be even worse.

Tangled in his heart for a long time, Jiang Ning finally opened the first ledger and looked at it seriously in line with the idea of ​​early death and early escape.

Just as the two were gradually entering the working state, footsteps from outside the door distracted the two of them again, and Gao De said, "Master, Chen Zhuo invites you to meet at Huaxia Restaurant."

Zhang Jiu put down the pen in his hand, Chen Zhuo and he listened at first, and then he often stayed with Qin Ce and gradually alienated him, and then when the news about him and Qin Ce came out, the two could talk It was a complete severance of relationship, almost never seeing him again, even if he saw him, he was just like a stranger.

But now, with Qin Shu's loss of power, the Chen family is also struggling and has been ruined. Why does Chen Zhuo want to see him?It couldn't be for him to intercede, Zhang Jiu thought that Chen Zhuo wouldn't be so stupid.

"Jiuye, do you want to go see him?" Jiang Ning looked at Zhang Jiu. Although Chen Zhuo and Qin Ce belonged to two camps, and he and Zhang Jiu could be regarded as Chen Zhuo's hostile side, he still had a good impression of Chen Zhuo. Well, at least they had a good time together without turning heads.

"See, why don't you see me?" Zhang Jiu smiled. He didn't have any hatred for Chen Zhuo and Zhang Jiu. What will happen if Zhuo finds him.

Without stopping, Zhang Jiu and Jiang Ning went to Huaxia Restaurant. When they saw Chen Zhuo, they were a little surprised. This person has changed too much, like a different person. Although Chen Zhuo used to be very humble in his dealings , but there is no lack of pride in his bones, just like the proud son of heaven.

Although his appearance has not changed now, the temperament around him has completely changed. There is a smile on his lips as usual, like a gentleman, but the pride inside has disappeared, and there is a sense of vicissitudes hidden in his eyes. Without any emotional change, it seems that this incident has hit him hard.

"Brother Yuan Liang" Zhang Jiu greeted Jiang Ning as before.

"Brother Puhua, Brother Chenhao" Chen Zhuo stood up and smiled, with a hint of mockery on his lips, "I didn't expect that you would really come, and now almost everyone is afraid of having any relationship with my Chen family."

"Brother Yuan Liang was joking, aren't we friends? Is there any reason to avoid seeing friends when they invite you?" Jiang Ning said with a smile, and sat down. Apart from other things, he still likes Chen Zhuo very much, especially It was because Chen Zhuo was always very gentlemanly and good-tempered when he made fun of him before, and chose to be tolerant.

Chen Zhuo smiled, his heart was deeply touched, a friend in adversity is a friend, those who he considered to be his friends almost avoided him, but this former opponent said they were friends, not only accepted his invitation, There was no cynicism that he thought there would be, ironic isn't it?

But thinking about the personalities of Zhang Jiu and Jiang Ning, Chen Zhuo feels that their reactions are normal now. These two people have never been people who will make trouble by following others' advice. On the contrary, they are both very talkative on the surface. Very indifferent people, they seldom waste their emotions on ordinary people, if they are afraid like me, they don't even bother to give it, let alone cynicism?

"Brother Yuan Liang came here for something?" Zhang Jiu asked straightforwardly.

"To be honest, I am looking for two people this time because I really have something to ask for." Chen Zhuo didn't beat around the bush. After getting to know these two people to a certain extent, he always felt that the best way was to go straight.
