Chang Mao's intestines were filled with regret. He was full and had nothing to do. Why did he call Zhang Yi and the others over?
Lan had a nightmare and wanted to hire an expert. He was the one who knew that Zhang Yi was staying in the capital, and the servant sent to check on Zhang Yi was also someone close to him at home.
Chang Mao never expected that the person he personally invited in would be the culprit who put him in crisis.
Zhang Yi was seeking revenge. From what he vaguely noticed while chatting with Chang, to his step-by-step verification, and with the bluff and deception, Zhang Yi had already confirmed that Chang Mao had killed the two servants when he told him about the well. .
Although he is not a so-called master of reasoning, he understands the idiot Chang Mao.
This guy's IQ is definitely not good, and he inherited the impulse from the Lan family.
Zhang Yi didn't need much strong reasoning ability to see this clearly.
"Let Chang Song come in..."
Mrs. Lan had no expression on her face and instructed Chang Sheng to find someone. After a while, the servant who went to invite Zhang Yi came over.
When he saw Lan's face turned livid and Chang Mao kneeling on the ground again, he instinctively had an ominous premonition.
As soon as he entered the door, Lan shouted angrily:
"You slave, how long are you going to hide the good things you have done from me?
Chang Song, did you throw the two people in the well into the well? "
Chang Song didn't even have a chance to defend himself. He only heard the words "man in the well" and was frightened to death.
He and Chang Mao did this quietly, and Lan didn't know about it.
Chang Song was immediately frightened and kept kowtowing to Lan. Something happened. Chang Mao might not be fine, but he would definitely be finished.
"Madam, spare your life, it's the young master... The young master couldn't suppress his anger, so he quietly let people beat him to death... We were afraid of being exposed, so we suggested throwing the person into the well and lying about the other party's escape..."
Chang Song's words were incoherent, but they were enough to explain things clearly.
Lan's eyes were dim. She didn't expect that she would cause so many troubles just by asking a Taoist priest to do something for her.
Lan Shi glared at Chang Mao, but Chang Mao had already lowered his head and did not dare to look at Lan Shi.
She turned around, only to see Zhang Yi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, as if he was unsure of what was going on around him.
Only then did Lan feel that it was difficult. If she had discovered this matter first, she would have handled it quietly.
If word spreads, it will be a loss to Changfu's reputation.
The little Taoist priest in front of me...
"Mrs. Chang, why don't we go back first, and you can take care of your household affairs and then go to the Taoist temple to find us?"
Deng Zhongxiu's IQ finally came online. When Lan heard what he said, he nodded immediately.
With Chang Mao in front of us, all feudal superstitions are just a passing thing.
"Send off to the Taoist Priest!"
Lan nodded without hesitation and quietly called the Chang family girl over and asked her to send Zhang Yi out.
When leaving Chang Mansion, Zhang Yi took one hundred taels of silver and was very satisfied.
With these one hundred taels of silver, Chang Mansion is probably bleeding heavily.
Salaries in the Ming Dynasty were low. Chang Yuchun had not yet been granted the title of Duke, so his annual income would not be much higher.
Even if he were granted a title, according to the standards of Xu Da and Li Shanchang, Chang Yuchun's annual income would not exceed 2,500 taels of silver per year.
These two thousand five hundred taels of silver are enough to support a large family.
Although in the eyes of the people in Longhu Mountain, this hundred taels is actually not much, Zhang Yi is satisfied.
Zhang Yi threw the silver to his butler Deng Zhongxiu. Deng Zhongxiu was stunned and was hit by the silver.
"Junior brother, am I not dreaming? I'm so afraid that we can't get out..."
How could Deng Zhongxiu care about money? He was frightened to death from the moment Zhang Yi exposed Chang Mao's murder. Deng Zhongxiu was haunted from the moment he walked out of Chang's Mansion.
"What are you afraid of? Since I dare to say it, I am sure that I can come out. Senior Brother Deng, I have avenged you. Chang Mao will not feel easy in the following days..."
Deng Zhongxiu:
"Junior brother, Mrs. Chang doesn't look like a strict mother!"
"Just because Mr. Chang doesn't teach him a lesson doesn't mean others won't help him teach his son a lesson!"
Zhang Yi gave it up, but did not continue.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, it is impossible for Chang Yuchun's family not to have someone to inspect the school! It's a good thing that the well Changmao didn't move. If it moved, it's impossible for the person in the palace not to know about it.
It doesn't cost anything anyway, but he also wants to see if he can kill someone with a borrowed knife?
"Human life is like grass, kill when you say it!"
Zhang Yi's mood was not as calm as he showed.
As a modern person, he has never really seen this kind of life and death. Although the Zhang family in Longhushan is also a large landowner and may exploit farmers, within the Zhang family, Zhang Changshang is generally considered a tolerant person.
Zhang Yi reminded himself again that this world is different from the previous life.
If you want to survive, you have to be careful and careful.
"If I have a bad temper, I will suffer a lot, but sometimes I really can't help it!"
While Zhang Yi was thinking, Deng Zhongxiu asked:
"Junior brother, I just can't figure it out. How did you know that Chang Mao killed someone? Did you really see the souls of those two servants?"
When asked about this sentence, Deng Zhongxiu seemed cautious.
Zhang Yi chuckled, this worked well.
He showed his magic skills in the Chang Mansion and helped Deng Zhongxiu vent his anger. The attitude of the senior brother in front of him changed a lot.
This kind of change is what Zhang Yi hopes to see.
He is just a child and needs Deng Zhongxiu to help him complete many things.
But Zhang Yi was not prepared to explain to Deng Zhongxiu that maintaining a sense of mystery was also a quality that a magician should have.
Deng Zhongxiu couldn't wait for Zhang Yi's answer and didn't ask.
However, when he secretly looked at his junior brother's young face, he seemed to see Zhang Changcheng sitting opposite him.
…
When I returned to the Taoist temple, there was someone waiting there.
This person handed a letter to Zhang Yi, which was a home letter from Zhang Chenggong from Longhu Mountain.
There was more than one letter, and Deng Zhongxiu also received his own letter.
The two of them went back to their rooms to read their letters. Zhang Yi opened Zhang Chenggong's letter and frowned slightly.
In this letter from home, Zhang Changsheng first introduced the current situation of Longhu Mountain and reassured Zhang Yi. It was the first time he received such a warm letter from his father. Zhang Yi seemed to see Lao Zhang describing everything about Longhu Mountain in front of his eyes. Come on.
Longhu Mountain, he wanted to escape from that place before, but when he read Zhang Chenggong's letter, he missed it again.
Lao Zhang mentioned that the people sent to replace Deng Zhongxiu would have to wait. Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh. It was probably because the old people in Longhu Mountain didn't dare to come when they heard that they were coming to serve him.
When he was about to reply to the letter, he asked his father to keep Deng Zhongxiu.
Senior Brother Deng gradually became convinced of him, and Zhang Yi did not want to run into another person.
But I just don’t know if Deng Zhongxiu is willing to stay in the capital?
At the end of the letter home, Zhang Yi finally read something that made him frown.
Lao Zhang informed the emperor that he had written a letter to the emperor, and also reported all Zhang Yi's tips on how to deal with the monks and Taoists to the emperor!
"He's crazy?"
Zhang Yi didn't expect that Zhang Changsheng would do this? This is exactly like slashing his own body several times.
For example, the control of monks was an order that Zhu Yuanzhang would not implement until Hongwu five years ago, and the withdrawal of the right to issue ultimatums would only happen twenty years after Hongwu.
Zhang Yi could feel Zhang Changsheng's mood when he wrote this letter to his family.
"Respect and blessings!"
Zhang Yi didn't think much about it, but he also realized that his actions may have produced a butterfly effect and began to affect the course of history.
However, the religious reform was just a small wave in the long river of history, and Zhang Yi quickly put it behind him.
He wrote back to his father in his crooked handwriting.
At this time, in the palace,
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son are appreciating paintings!
