It is impossible for a dead person to speak.
Zhang Suxing said that he would not tell Li Deming the secret of the Zhang family compound.
Unless, he is dead.
In other words, he will never tell this secret.
Li Deming is an old man who has been with Zhang Suxing for many years.
He understood Zhang Suxing's temper.
I also know many things about Zhang Suxing.
Moreover, Zhang Suxing believed in him more than he believed in Chen Fang.
He did many hidden things for Zhang Suxing.
He is like Zhang Suxing's shadow.
Just like going to Moon Island at that time.
Chen Fang only knew that there was a man named "Uncle De" beside Zhang Suxing.
But I don’t know what kind of person he is.
Therefore, Li Deming knows more about many things than Chen Fang.
He had long known about the existence of the Zhang Family Courtyard, and also knew that the people in the Zhang Family Courtyard moved from Zhangjia Village.
Zhang Suxing was life-saving to Li Deming.
Li Deming is a grateful person.
He has always believed that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring.
Therefore, he will always be loyal to Zhang Suxing.
Even in Gong County, he mistakenly thought that Zhang Suxing sent people from the Shadow Sect to kill him, but he never betrayed Zhang Suxing.
Even when someone from the Shadow Sect seriously injured Master Jingxuan, he felt very resentful, but he still did not betray Zhang Suxing.
He just found Zhang Suxing and questioned him.
It was precisely because of this that he realized that everything about the Shadow Gate was a misunderstanding.
Zhang Suxing never thought of taking the lives of the couple.
Although, Li Deming also doubted whether Zhang Suxing was telling the truth.
However, he still made a decision.
In front of Duan Wenjun, he concealed Zhang Suxing's return to the Zhang family compound.
Even when he met Li Mochou, he didn't tell her Zhang Suxing's true identity.
What Li Deming didn't expect was that Duan Wenjun guessed that Zhang Suxing had also been to the Zhang family compound just from his words with Li Mochou.
This surprised him very much.
Therefore, when Duan Wenjun asked him to come back to Zhang Suxing, tell him everything that happened in Deying County, and ask him about the secrets of the Zhang family compound, he directly agreed.
Zhang Suxing, just as Duan Wenjun expected, was unwilling to tell the secret.
What he didn't expect was that Zhang Suxing actually wanted to cut off the relationship with him and let him follow Duan Wenjun in the future.
Of course, in Li Deming's heart, he felt that Duan Wenjun was kind to him.
Moreover, he also recognized that Duan Wenjun was indeed a good person.
However, let him abandon Zhang Suxing, especially when Zhang Suxing is in the most difficult time, abandon Zhang Suxing...
There was absolutely no way he could do it.
Zhang Suxing seemed to see through his thoughts, stared at him and spoke again, "Uncle De, I understand what you mean, and I am very grateful for your dedication to the Zhang family and to me over the years."
"But don't worry, I'm not someone who gives up easily."
"You have followed me for so many years, so you must know it."
"You can tell Duan Wenjun when you go back that the secret of the Zhang family compound is closely related to the entire Jingzhou game."
"I can't say it now because the time is not right. But that doesn't mean there won't be a chance to say it in the future. It depends on his performance."
Hearing Zhang Suxing's words, Li Deming's face was full of horror.
Zhang Suxing's words echoed again, "It's just that you can only tell Duan Wenjun these words, and you have to tell him not to tell anyone else, especially his friend from Prince Rui's Mansion..."
"Master, is the second young master Chai Jingyun you're talking about?" Li Deming's heart trembled again.
Zhang Suxing nodded, "Uncle De, it would be better for you to follow him than to follow me. At least you can live uprightly in the sunshine."
"Master, I..." Li Deming hurriedly explained.
However, his words were once again interrupted by Zhang Suxing, "Uncle De, I understand your character. Even if you follow Duan Wenjun, you will probably make an agreement with him and not betray me."
"But what I want to tell you is that if there is anything he wants to know about me and the things you have done for me over the years, you can tell him."
"This will not have any impact on me. On the contrary, if he figures out some things, it will be helpful to me."
"Of course, if you stay with him, you have to help me warn him from time to time. Regarding my affairs and our agreement, try not to let the Chai family know about it."
"This is to protect me and himself."
"If one day, the secret of the Zhang Family Courtyard is really fortunate enough to be made public, it will be your Uncle De's great kindness to my Zhang Family."
Zhang Suxing's words made Li Deming feel confused.
But he also understood that this matter might have far-reaching implications, so Zhang Suxing had to be careful.
On the way from Lingxiao County to Deying County, he was still thinking about Zhang Suxing's words.
However, even if I think hard, I still can't figure it out.
He knew that there was a lot of information hidden in Zhang Suxing's words.
It seems to be inextricably related to Duan Wenjun.
He couldn't understand.
Simply, he stopped thinking about it.
Back in Deying County, he heard about the Fenglingdu incident, which seemed to have been resolved.
Dai Song, the magistrate of Deying County, and his steward Duan Changren both committed suicide out of fear of crime.
They are the masterminds behind the evil ghost murder case in Deying County.
The state government sent someone to take over the case.
At this moment, not only were matters concerning the Sun Moon Sect being liquidated, but they were also being investigated for clues about the Scorpio eggs.
However, the people from the state capital were only investigating the case and did not interfere with local affairs.
Because, before Chai Jingyun left Fenglingdu, he left a letter.
He recommended Liu Yude, the master of Deying County, to temporarily take over the post of magistrate of Deying County.
Waiting for the arrival of a new magistrate appointed by the court.
Liu Yude is very busy these days.
Too many people died, and he needed to comfort them.
The policemen in the yamen were almost dead, and he needed to make arrangements.
Fenglingdu is the gateway to Deying County, and he must let it recover quickly.
However, when Li Deming found him and asked about the whereabouts of Chai Jingyun and Duan Wenjun, he immediately arranged the fastest boat to send him to pursue the team.
When Li Deming caught up with Duan Wenjun, it was already the third day.
The team had crossed the Shunjiang River and stopped at a place called Wanjiazhai.
Wanjiazhai is not a bandit's village, but a village.
Most of them are Miao people, and there are also some Han people named Wan living there.
The village is not small, with hundreds of people, it can be considered a large local village.
There are two people who manage the village.
One is the leader of Wanjiazhai, a Han named Wanquan appointed by the county government.
The other one was a Miao chieftain elected by the villagers themselves, named Yang Yeboxiang.
The relationship between Wanquan and Yang Yeboxiang was very harmonious, so although the conditions in the village were not very good, everyone lived happily.
However, just some time ago, due to some things, the Miao and Han people in the village seemed to have differences.
Even Wan Quan and Yang Yeboxiang had conflicts.
They even got into a fight, injuring many people.
Chai Jingyun would stay here every time he came to Beijing, and he had a good relationship with Yang Yeboxiang.
Therefore, when Chai Jingyun and Duan Wenjun arrived here, they were involved in the dispute.
When Li Deming was led into Wanjiazhai, he happened to catch up with Chai Jingyun, who had an angry look on his face and was staring at Wan Quan who was kneeling in front of him.
Beside him, Guan Xing and Duan Wenjun were sitting with him.
They also frowned and seemed a little unhappy.
Li Deming did not bother them, but directly asked people to take him to the team's residence.
Chai Jingyun and Duan Wenjun were doing business, while Yun Batian stayed at the campsite.
Seeing Li Deming come back so soon, she was slightly surprised: "Uncle De, did you handle the matter that the young master told you successfully?"
Yun Batian knew Li Deming's identity.
Although she was not very clear why Duan Wenjun treated a bandit like Li Deming so politely, she still admired Li Deming very much.
After all, his cultivation level is very high.
If he can really follow the young master sincerely, it will be a good thing for the young master.
Therefore, Yun Batian was very polite to Li Deming.
Similarly, Li Deming knows Yun Batian's status, and if he wants to integrate into Duan Wenjun's side, he must have a good relationship with her.
So, he smiled, stepped forward and saluted Yun Batian, "The matters that Master Duan told me have been completed, and I'm back in a hurry."
After saying that, he looked at Yun Batian and said, "When I came from the front meeting hall just now, I saw the Second Young Master and Young Master Duan looking unkind. Did something happen?"
"Alas!" Yun Batian sighed, "The officials here are really bastards."
Li Deming was stunned again.
Master Duan's trip to the capital seems to be in a disadvantageous state.
In just a few days, the team has dealt with two incidents.
And none of it seems to be a good thing.
Naturally, the journey was also too slow.
I just don’t know what’s going on this time.
Didn't they say they were rushing to the capital?
Why are we delayed again and again?
"This matter actually has nothing to do with us." Yun Batian gritted his teeth. "But it has something to do with the young master. The second young master was not prepared to take care of it, but Master Guan couldn't stand it..."
Li Deming, the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Chai Jingyun, Duan Wenjun, Guan Xing...
Yun Batian has told them all, and I really don’t know what the relationship is.
"Uncle De, do you know about the Duanjiabao plow invented by our young master?" At this moment, Cuiping came out and took over the topic.
Duan Jiabao plow?
Li Deming nodded.
He knows this stuff.
I heard that after Duan Wenjun invented this thing, it more than doubled the speed of farmers plowing the land, and it also saved a lot of effort.
However, what does this have to do with Wanjiazhai?
