Huang Nanming looked at the aggressive Father Zhang in surprise.
He just felt that after letting the matter ferment for two days, Zhang Zhida would be unable to hold back the pressure, tell Zhang's father the truth, and come here specially to clean up the mess.
The prince's intention was to take advantage of Zhang Zhida's knowledge of Ning Wuhuang's weakness in poetry. It doesn't matter if there is no weakness, as long as he returns truthfully.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Zhida would go too far. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to let the Zhang family handle the matter well, that is, silence him.
It's not that Huang Nanming has never thought about keeping Zhang Zhida alive, so that if the Dongchuang incident happened, Zhang Zhida would be blamed.
But the prince said that it would be okay if the Dongchuang incident was suspected on the prince. He had his own way of dealing with it, but Zhang Zhida, a person who could even hide it from the family and only wanted to be rich, could not stay.
Otherwise, when the critical moment comes, Zhang Zhida may be implicated.
"Master Zhang, what do you mean, Zhang Caizi is not here?"
"Master Huang, don't think that just because you are the magistrate of the next county, you can bully our Zhang family like this. At this time, are you still pretending to be confused? It's better for the county magistrate to take charge now. Believe it or not, I will go to the county now." The government office beats the drum and complains, asking the county magistrate to search the whole city for my traitor?"
Zhang's father pointed at his forehead that was smashed by the inkstone and asked angrily.
"Didn't you send someone to rescue that traitor so that he could keep him to blackmail us?"
"no."
Huang Nanming finally realized the seriousness of the matter and shouted orders to the guards around him.
"Go, find someone quickly!"
"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I still have to find him!"
Huang Nanming was sweating profusely, but his back was cold. He grabbed Zhang's father by the collar and asked sternly.
"Tell me, what's going on! If you dare to lie, no matter it's your Zhang family or my Huang family, our two families will finish it together!"
Zhang's father looked at the furious Huang Nanming and realized that the person who had just taken Zhang Zhida away was not someone sent by King Jin, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Oh no!
Something bad is happening!
His rebellious son was taken away by unknown people. If the truth of the matter is known and the reputation of King Jin is ruined, the Zhang family will really be wiped out.
"Master Huang, come with me quickly. The gangster who kidnapped my son ran in that direction!"
Fifty miles northwest of Shang County.
Before going to sleep, the Ningjia team was conducting an inventory of the day. After confirming that everything was correct, they could be on duty and rest according to the rotation time.
After counting, Zhuang Shicheng was about to take a rest when he suddenly felt a strange wind blowing from the east.
Shang Shan also followed the sound of the wind.
Before the two of them could see clearly what was going on, the smell of blood hit their nostrils.
"There are people injured."
Shang Shan glanced at Zhuang Shicheng. After seeing Zhuang Shicheng nod, the two of them stood up in unison, just as they were about to warn everyone.
A pair of hands stretched out from behind and pressed on the shoulders of the two people.
"Brother Shang, Brother Zhuang, Master asked me to bring you two a pot of hot wine. Please sit down and drink two glasses of wine. The moon and stars are sparse tonight, and there are other fleets in front, back, and left to protect you. You two can rest assured. drink wine."
Drinking with peace of mind?
Zhuang Shicheng picked up the hammer and shouted: "Xiao Yunfei, someone is injured... um..."
Zhuang Shicheng stared at Shang Shan who deliberately covered his mouth, wondering why this kid covered his mouth.
Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He held down two people with two hands, and there was no third hand to cover their mouths.
If Brother Zhuang wakes everyone up, then Brother Qin Shi may not be able to hide the fact that he brought Zhang Zhida back.
"Thank you, Young Master. Have you brought the wine?"
Shang Shan is much smarter than Zhuang Shicheng of Zhongzi, and he can tell the truth at a glance.
Knowing that the injured person should be someone sent out by Ning Wuhuang, they encountered something that could not be disclosed externally, so they specifically informed the two people who were on guard duty.
In this case, drinking is just an excuse.
But the Ning family's steamed wine is so famous, why didn't he follow the trend and get an extra pot of good wine?
Yunfei probably didn't expect that Shang Shan and Zhuang Shicheng would actually ask for wine.
But then I thought about it, the young master really said that, which proved that Shang Shan believed what he said, and pointed to the ox cart in front of him.
"I'll get a pot."
A pot?
Shang Shan let go, and Zhuang Shicheng said quickly: "One pot is not enough for me to drink."
"..."
Yunfei silently rolled his dead eyes and walked away.
After a while, after Shang Shan comforted Zhuang Shicheng and found a reason to ask Zhuang Shicheng not to tell others what he had just discovered, Yunfei came back with two two-pound bottles of wine.
"Two eldest brothers, please take your time and drink. It's easy to get drunk after one glass of this strong drink. Don't make things worse by drinking. Let the young master worry about it later."
"Don't worry, we know what's going on."
Zhuang Shicheng was really drunk, and his face burst into laughter.
Shang Shan nodded to Yun Fei and smiled slightly. After Yun Fei left, he did not unpack the wine bottle, but looked curiously at the carriage behind him.
Who on earth wanted Ning Wuhuang to meet him in person at such a late hour, and even came with injuries?
Could it be the eldest brother Qin Shi that I haven't seen in the past two days?
Shang Shan stretched out his hand and made a secret. After some calculations, he withdrew his probing gaze.
It has nothing to do with him.
It's best not to have anything to do with it.
Don’t listen, don’t ask, don’t know.
Shang Shan opened the lid, took a deep breath of alcohol and put it back on again.
"Shangshan, why don't you drink?"
"Drinking can easily cause trouble, and when I wait for you to finish drinking and want to ask for something from me, I can exchange a glass of wine for you to take my turn."
"Profiteer! Hahaha!"
Zhuang Shicheng's hearty laughter echoed around.
The nervous horses kicked their hooves again, but no one cared.
In the carriage, Ning Wuyan heard the laughter coming from outside and knew that Yunfei had solved the problem of concealing the news.
He took a deep look at Zhang Zhida, who was in a coma with the blood on his forehead dried, and asked in a deep voice: "Who caused the injury?"
"Father Zhang."
After hearing this answer, Ning Wuchang was silent for a moment.
It is said that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds.
Even though his reputation as a traitor made the Zhang family feel that Zhang Zhida deserved to die and could be saved by just apologizing, there was another hidden reason why Zhang Zhida was allowed to die.
"Brother Qin Shi, the mastermind behind instigating Zhang Zhida to question my reputation as a Shixian in public has been found."
Now that Qin Shi is back, he must have completed what he told him to do.
Who knows.
Qin Shi shook his head with a tense face.
She didn't answer his question, but just shook her head, which made Ning Wuyan feel dumbfounded.
What's the meaning?
Isn’t it convenient to say it?
In fact, if there were other questions, Ning Wushan would just go down the steps.
But this matter was not a trivial matter. It was related to his situation after entering Beijing. Ning Wuyan had no choice but to ask again, half jokingly and half seriously: "Brother Qin Shi, are you sick and can't speak?"
"no."
Qin Shi answered again.
But his face was still tense, not ready to answer the previous question.
Ning Wuyan was really speechless this time.
