Zongfu,
Zhang Ling searched the entire Zong Mansion and entered Zong Chentian's study, but still could not find Zong Chentian.
"Where are the people?"
Zhang Ling put the clothes on the table and started walking around Zong Chentian's study.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time entering Uncle Zong's study. I have to take a good look."
In fact, Zhang Ling just wanted to see if Zong Chentian, who was usually serious, had any special hobbies. Zhang Ling looked through Zong Chentian's bookshelf, but they were just some history books and political articles.
Zhang Ling flipped through it casually: "I don't know why Zong Chentian, a drug dealer, is looking at these."
Zhang Ling leaned against the bookshelf.
"Click..."
After a muffled sound, the bookshelf and wall behind Zhang Ling moved sideways, making it look like a secret room.
Zhang Ling walked in, and what caught his eye was a pile of gold and silver jewelry, and famous porcelain and jade paintings placed on the cabinet shelves and walls. Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment. He had never seen so much money.
Zhang Ling had a money-obsessed look in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but move: "I didn't expect Uncle Zong to hide so much money."
Then I thought about how I didn't even have a penny of monthly money on weekdays, and couldn't help but smile: "A penny is hard for a hero. I travel around the world and don't have any money with me. Then I can only 'borrow' a little."
So, Zhang Ling began to stuff a lot of silver notes into his embroidered robe, and the seams in his ancient boots were never empty. After a while, he estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of taels. While hanging up, a box suddenly fell from the shelf, with only a piece of paper inside: Leave it to Zhang Ling.
…
Outside the governor's house,
A middle-aged man walked straight through the door, but no one stopped him. He walked through the mansion as if he were on a familiar road. The servants in the mansion also gave way when they saw him, and then walked into the lobby and sat directly on the master's chair.
After a while, a man in official uniform walked in, and this man was the governor of Luochuan County, Jiang Shouheng.
Behind him, there was another person, dressed simply as a scribe, and his movements were generous and decent, without losing any etiquette.
When Jiang Shouheng and the plain-clothed scribe walked in front of Zong Chentian, they knelt down at the same time and shouted respectfully: "I have met Mr. Chen King."
In the entire Luochuan County, only these two people knew the true identity of this man with outstanding medical skills. But when Jiang Shouheng found out, he was extremely shocked. Whether it was his martial arts strength or his status, They are all beyond the reach of the world.
One was the Chen King who personally named him the vassal king "Chen Wang", and the other was the owner of the Medicine King Valley in the northern region of the Central Plains. Because of his hanging pot to help the world, his medical skills were unparalleled in the world, and the world called him the "Medical Sage", and both of them are rare in the world. The martial arts master.
The middle-aged man asked the two of them to stand up. Jiang Shouheng asked respectfully, "I wonder what the important matter is for Your Majesty to come here this time?"
The middle-aged man sat there with his eyes closed, recalling something in his heart. Suddenly he stood up again and sighed softly: "Seventeen years."
Jiang Shouheng seemed to understand, but he was silent and did not dare to speak out.
The middle-aged man said: "Is the jade pendant still there?"
Jiang Shouheng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the jade pendant is intact."
"I'll go get it right away." Jiang Shouheng immediately turned around. After a moment, he held a box in his hand and carefully handed it to Zong Chentian.
The middle-aged man opened the box. Inside was a jade pendant made of two different pieces of jade. The red jade was carved into the shape of a blue dragon, and the white jade was carved into the shape of a phoenix. No matter which half, they were all carved very finely and harmoniously, as if they were made in heaven. .
As soon as the middle-aged man closed the box, a young man with extraordinary grace walked in. The two people below looked at it and couldn't believe it. This was the second time they saw these two people arriving at the same time. The last time was in Seventeen years ago.
The two of them shouted respectfully again: "Mr. Medical Saint."
The middle-aged man asked: "Why are you here?"
When the young man saw Zhang Ling today and then saw the box in the middle-aged man's hand, he understood everything.
The young man replied, with a trace of anger still in his eyes: "Someone attacked Xiao Ling, Qian Le, the owner of Leyin Gambling House. Xiao Ling made a bet with him, and when Qian Le lost the bet, he killed him, but I have already killed him. "
"You are a doctor, you can't do anything to remove the root of the disease." The middle-aged man shook his head.
The middle-aged man winked at Jiang Shouheng.
"I'll take care of it now, my official." After saying that, Jiang Shouheng resigned.
The plain-clothed scribe followed closely behind, and finally spoke at this moment: "The prince and the medical sage came at the same time, and they both came for the same person."
Jiang Shouheng naturally knew: "Zhang Ling?"
"Well," the plain-clothed scribe nodded and said, "Does the Sheriff know the identity of this young man?"
Jiang Shouheng looked at him curiously, and the plain-clothed scholar slowly said: "Seventeen years ago, General Mingze took his wife to the battlefield and left behind a son."
Jiang Shouheng looked shocked and asked, "Are you sure?"
The plain-clothed scribe nodded and said with great certainty: "I am sure of it, and now it seems that Zhang Ling should leave Luochuan County."
Jiang Shouheng was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss. It was the same in the past. When he encountered problems, he would seek help from the plain-clothed scribes: "Sir, what do you think I should make now?"
The plain-clothed scribe said: "Your Excellency, you don't need to make any choice now. If Zhang Ling goes here, he will definitely go to the capital. No matter which side he is on, we can't provoke him. And when the prince comes to get the jade pendant, he is the one who protects the jade." Affection."
"What if Zhang Ling loses?"
The plain-clothed scribe said confidently: "It's absolutely impossible. Don't worry, sir. Now you just need to wait patiently. It won't be too far before you can show off your grand plans."
When Jiang Shouheng heard the plain-clothed scribe's words, he was finally relieved, because the other party's judgment was correct again, and he sighed: "Chen Guo's world is about to change."
Later, Jiang Shouheng sent people to seal down Leyin Gambling House on the grounds that the gambling house was secretly smuggling banned goods. No one knew the real reason was because the gambling house owner had offended a young man.
On the second day,
Zhang Ling had been waiting at the gate of the west city for a long time. After a long time, Zhang Jingqian, Huang Hao and others came to say goodbye to Zhang Ling. After everyone left one after another, Zong Chentian was still missing.
Zhang Ling asked Zhang Jingqian: "Why isn't Uncle Zong here yet?"
Zhang Jingqian smiled and comforted: "He will be here in a while."
Tomorrow, a figure appeared at the gate of the city. They watched Zong Chentian walking over. Zong Chentian took out the jade pendant and handed it to Zhang Ling. As soon as Zhang Ling saw the jade pendant, it was clear that this kind of jade pendant was clearly for men and women. The woman used it as a token of love. Zhang Ling looked puzzled: "What are you giving it to me for?"
Zong Chentian looked serious: "This belongs to your parents, take it."
Zhang Ling took the jade pendant, and Zong Chentian told him again: "When you arrive in the capital, you must put it away."
Zhang Ling naturally understood that if people knew about martial arts, it would be easier to get a token.
Then Zong Chentian took out a short sword and handed it to Zhang Ling. Before Zhang Ling could ask, Zong Chentian explained: "All martial arts in the world are similar. Since Zhouzhirou can use his hand as a sword, he can naturally use the sword again."
Zhang Ling looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Zong Chentian immediately stopped talking, and Zhang Ling knew that he had nothing to say. Even if the conversation was awkward, he would not say another word.
Only Zhang Jingqian smiled and said: "Pay attention to safety."
Zhang Ling turned around and walked towards Mu Qingchen Road until he disappeared into the distance beyond sight.
