Niubi, awesome.
Jiang Fan instantly felt that his messy methods were too immature compared to this old man's. This was called simplicity, and it was easy to lift a weight.

Seeing Zhang Yi's face turning dark and ugly, Jiang Fan laughed strangely in his heart.
This trick is so wonderful. Zhang Yi is quietly doing bad things. Once someone discovers that he is in the fiefdom of the eldest prince of Jin, what will others think? It is guaranteed that countless people will go to get to the bottom of it, and Zhang Yi's plan will probably be exposed.
Zhang Zhiling saw that Zhang Yi did not dare to appear in public, so he poked Zhang Yi where it hurt. That's the so-called chokehold with one move.
It perfectly proves the statement that good people are worse than bad people.
Learned, learned!
Looking at Zhang Yi's face, Jiang Fan knew that he was cursing furiously in his stomach, and his intestines were probably trembling.
"...How dare my father do this..."
Zhang Yi's face turned the color of pig liver, and it took a long time to hold back a few words.
Zhang Zhiling frowned: "Look at what you said, I just asked you to go see the wet nurse who is seriously ill. Who in the world can say no? Don't you want to go? I'll work with you to find the whereabouts of the wet nurse every day. Are you just showing off to the world?"
Kill people and kill your heart.
Zhang Zhiling is basically a rogue method, but the problem is that he always takes the right approach.
"You unfilial son, it seems I really want to find someone to judge." Zhang Zhiling looked very unhappy.
Seeing that the old man was about to get up and leave angrily, Zhang Yi suddenly said: "Father, may I ask where the wet nurse is now?"
"It's not far away. It's a small fishing village in Huai'an County. It only takes four days to go there by horse. But Zhang Zhiling obviously doesn't know how to go there on horseback. I'm afraid it will take at least seven days to go back and forth."
Zhang Yi's face was calm, but he was scheming in his heart. Even if he had to postpone the launch for seven days, it was not impossible. He was just afraid that Xiang Chen's side would make too much noise and alert those who were interested.
But if he doesn't go, he will be exposed to the public at the latest tomorrow.
If postponed...
Jiang Fan burst out laughing at his entanglement. Seven days of going back and forth was enough. Zhang Zhiling arranged the time just right, neither long nor short, and it would not make Zhang Yi doubt others too much.
"...In this way, if filial piety comes first, the child will follow his father."
Zhang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhiling then chuckled and brushed his beard and said, "That's just right. No matter what happens to you and me, the wet nurse is important. How about setting off early tomorrow morning?"
Now that the matter was settled, Zhang Yi regained her composure: "I'll listen to my father's arrangements. However, there is something I don't understand about my child. How did my father know that my child is here?"
Zhang Zhiling chuckled softly: "I have been an official for seventy years. It is not too much to say that my disciples have a long history all over the world. Let no one else say it. Yan Dazhi, the governor of Jing'an County, was born in a literary family. He was recommended as an official by the former servant Wang Renzong. Who is Wang Renzong? I held the seal of the Five Kingdoms back then, and Wang Renzong was also a key member of my family. Besides, you don’t know about Master Yan’s relationship with your father, right?"
Zhang Yi was really speechless. Don't talk about him, there is someone so perfect here that even Jiang Fan didn't find any faults.
But Zhang Zhiling deliberately pointed out Yan Dazhi, which still made Zhang Yi feel wary.
"My child's visit to Yan Dazhi is a confidential matter. How could he leak it to outsiders..."
Zhang Zhiling patted the table: "An outsider? I am your father, and I am also the former right prime minister in the Jin Kingdom. How can I be an outsider?"
Okay, Jiang Fan was speechless. He completely stopped talking while avoiding important matters and choosing trivial matters.
The old man is really good at it. No wonder he was able to navigate the five countries with ease back then, and he had all the resources at his fingertips.
And Jiang Fan was even more excited. This teacher was so worthy of his respect. With this person behind his back, who among the officials in the world wouldn't give him three servings of thin noodles?
Even if I change my way of life and want to join the Great Zhou Dynasty with mixed qualifications, I guess I dare not say that if I am a first-rank official, it will only take three to five years to become a second-rank and third-rank official.
"Now that it has been decided, father, please come back and set off early tomorrow morning. I wonder where father will stay?"
Zhang Zhiling pointed to the top of his head: "Of course I am above my son, in room No. 7."
Zhang Yi was suppressed without leaving a trace, but she had no choice but to let herself stay in an ordinary room with a land name in order to keep a low profile and be secretive.
"In this case, the child will not keep his father."
Zhang Zhiling also seemed to know that he was not welcome. He stood up and said, "Humph, the old man can still afford to eat, so you don't need to make arrangements."
Zhang Yi just bowed and seemed to not even want to give it away.
Zhang Zhiling waved his sleeves and walked out. Suddenly, Zhang Yi said: "Father, I have never seen such a book boy like you before."
Zhang Zhiling paused slightly: "We haven't seen each other for ten years. Lu Qinghou is already thirty. Is it strange that Bawa has grown up?"
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment: "Is he Bawa?"
Zhang Zhiling just snorted and walked out without looking back.
As Jiang Fan walked out, he clearly felt Zhang Yi's eyes on his back.
I couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Zhang Yi was really suspicious.
But Zhang Zhiling did it just right. He not only pointed out who it was, but he was also very reasonable and didn't bother to explain to Zhang Yi.
That's the details.
Jiang Fan felt deeply ashamed.
From beginning to end, the father and son did not reminisce about old times, let alone any major national affairs, which was in line with their antagonistic mentality.
Even if Zhang Yi has doubts, it may be difficult to find any clues. But it left no trace, leaving Zhang Yi a lot of room for speculation.
In fact, Zhang Yi was indeed a little confused.
After the two left, he sat there silently for a long time.
The girl in green clothes stepped forward with a smile on her face: "Zaifu Zhang, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, is quite different from the rumors."
Zhang Yi said calmly: "Who do you think he is, madam?"
This woman is naturally Xiang Chen's concubine, a poppy.
"He was supposed to have a majestic demeanor, unmoved by the eight winds, and accommodating the mountains and the sea. Now it seems that he is just an ordinary old man, which is a bit interesting."
Zhang Yi's face didn't look as angry as before, and she smiled softly: "Who really understands him?"
Yu Meiren said: "The Great Zhou collapsed more than a hundred years ago, leaving only the empty shell of the imperial court on Mount Tai. It seems that the world still respects Zhou, but everyone knows that it exists in name only. However, this old man suddenly became the successor of the Great Zhou Until now, he has been respected as Prime Minister and Assistant Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, and is respected by the world. Is it inappropriate for me to speculate like this?"
Zhang Yi said: "When it comes to talent, learning and temperament, my father is indeed one of the best in the world, a man you won't see in a century. It's a pity that he went in the wrong direction and his life was in vain."
The poppy giggled: "Zhang Xiang... is unhappy. He is not very respectful to the old man."
Zhang Yi was not moved at all: "Who really understands me?"
The poppy smiled softly: "The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be judged by future generations. I'll just wait and see."
Zhang Yi's eyes were a little deep: "It's a little unusual for the old man to come here..."
Meiren Yu said: "What a coincidence. The incident was about to happen, and this old man suddenly appeared and even delayed the important matter for several days. I'm afraid Prime Minister Zhang really should take a serious look at it."
Zhang Yi said: "I feel something is wrong, but there is no trace at all. The old man is still so unpredictable in his actions."
