After leaving the escort, Xiaotian put Lao Zhang's head down from his back. Everything tonight was finally safe. Before returning home, Xiaotian returned to the size of a small wolfdog and charged at Lao Zhang. He opened his head and bared his teeth in a threatening manner, as if to say don't tell anyone what happened tonight.
Old Zhangtou saw with his own eyes how majestic this usually inconspicuous little guy was tonight, so he decided to repay his kindness by stewing a pot of meat for him when he went back.
Zhang Xiuer was so excited that she shed tears when she saw Lao Zhangtou returned intact. She checked carefully and found that except for some skin abrasions from the iron handcuffs, there were no other injuries at all.
This night, Zhang Xiuer was too worried. Fortunately, the outcome of the development was not bad.
Lao Zhangtou also stewed a large pot of meat for Xiaotian overnight. Although it was not as delicious as Daolin's stew, Xiaotian ate it still very delicious.
Zhang Ming returned to the mayor's mansion angrily. Because it was too late, he didn't go to his father to complain. He just vented his anger on a maid.
Early the next morning, he got up and went to find his father, telling him what happened last night, and also told him about Zhang Yankai's rudeness to him.
Zhang Longhai was still very angry at first. After all, in his opinion, as the head of a town and the father-in-law of the people in this area, anyone his son fell in love with was regarded as the smoke coming out of the other's ancestral grave, but he never thought that there was such a thing. Things that are ignorant of current affairs.
He called Zhang Yankai over angrily and arranged for his master to go to the escort team to investigate.
"Mayor, are you calling me?" Zhang Yankai asked, clasping his fists towards Zhang Longhai.
"What happened last night? Is it possible that your escort team can't even handle an old man?" Zhang Longhai lowered his head and drank tea.
"There is really nothing we can do about what happened last night. After all, there is insufficient evidence." Zhang Yankai said with a troubled face.
"Insufficient evidence? Aren't all of you witnesses?" Zhang Longhai said displeased.
"Actually, according to regulations, members of the escort team are not included in the scope of witness." Zhang Yankai shook his neck and said.
"Captain Zhang, in this town, I hope you can pay attention to my work arrangements. Although you are not under my direct control, you must cooperate with my work. And don't forget, my eldest brother is Taking office in the imperial capital."
This passage is simply a threat, a naked threat.
Zhang Yankai smiled disdainfully and replied: "It's not convenient for me to say more. I can only say that if some lives are lost because of Zhang Xiuer, the daughter of Lao Zhangtou, let alone you. Even your eldest brother will probably die." Can’t live.”
After Zhang Yankai finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Zhang Longhai and turned around to leave without giving the other party a chance to speak again.
Zhang Longhai was furious and smashed the porcelain cup in his hand on the table. The exquisite porcelain cup immediately broke into pieces.
The master came back soon. After questioning, he found out that the entire escort team remained silent about what happened last night. No matter who asked, the answer was that Lao Zhangtou was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
After Zhang Ming found out, he went to his father several times, but his father had no choice. After all, the guard team did not directly belong to a certain town or city, but directly to the general guard commander. It was only under the jurisdiction of the city lord and town mayor. Because of territorial reasons.
"Son, there are so many girls in this town, why don't you find someone else?" Zhang Longhai sighed and said.
He also suddenly understood that for so many years of working with Zhang Yankai, Zhang Yankai had never disobeyed his orders, but this time he did so, even at the expense of offending himself. It seemed that this matter for Old Zhang Tou was not simple.
Especially Zhang Yankai's words, even your eldest brother can't bear it, let alone you, if he takes his life for a woman.
Killed? How did Zhang Yankai know that someone was killed? What happened last night?
Could it really be related to that weirdo living in Old Zhangtou's house?
Who is he? Where did it come from? When to leave?
All these questions kept flashing in Zhang Longhai's head.
"Father, I just like Zhang Xiuer." Zhang Ming said reluctantly.
"You like to be useless, but people don't like you, why can't you be so strong? We didn't know what happened yesterday, and we couldn't ask. Zhang Yankai even turned against me because of this incident. Face."
"I'm warning you, don't be stupid. Even he doesn't want to provoke the other party, which means that the other party is definitely a big deal. If you go too far, don't lock me up and I won't be able to protect you. Even our whole family will be affected by you."
Zhang Ming stared at his father blankly. From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Longhai had always obeyed him and would satisfy him whatever he wanted. Why, overnight, both he and Zhang Yankai changed their attitudes. Could it be that the old Zhang Toujia Is it really that difficult?
"I'll say it again, don't think what I said is nonsense. Your father has never asked you for anything. Just this once, you have to obey!" Zhang Longhai said in a deep voice.
Zhang Ming looked at his father angrily, nodded after a long while, then turned around and ran out.
When he got home, he first pulled over the maid who was doing his homework and vented his anger before dissipating some of the evil fire in his heart, but he still couldn't swallow it.
He knew that the man who lived in Lao Zhangtou's house was not easy to mess with, but he didn't know how strong he was. He knew a sect disciple who was an inner disciple of a nearby martial arts sect, and they had drank together before. For someone who has eaten meat, his strength is definitely powerful, and Zhang Ming is going to ask him for help.
It was definitely not possible to go there rashly. He kicked the maid who had just put on clothes out of the room, and then lifted the bed board. There were several banknotes under the bed, which were secretly given to him by his uncle when he came home to visit a few years ago.
The total is ten thousand taels. He has not dared to spend it in these years. This time it can be used.
He took out three banknotes, each with a face value of one thousand taels. He put the banknotes into his arms, then thought about it and took two more, then covered the bed planks and remade the bed.
Although he is the mayor's precious son, this is the first time he carries five thousand taels. The last time he received the money, his whole body was numb.
He went out anxiously, and then went to find his mother, saying that he was in a bad mood because he couldn't get Zhang Xiuer, and was going to go out for a few days.
His mother didn't think much about it and brought him dozens of taels of silver.
After bidding farewell to his mother, Zhang Ming did not look for Zhang Longhai. He directly took a horse from the stable in the backyard of his home and left. The place he went to was called Qingfeng Mountain. There is Qingfeng Villa on Qingfeng Mountain, which is one of the best martial arts sects in the surrounding area. .
And the person Zhang Ming is looking for is the disciple of the great elder of Qingfeng Villa, named Changsun Liangcai, who is definitely the best among his peers. This person is good at everything, but he likes to take advantage of others. Everyone loves to take possession.
So Zhang Ming was rich this time and wanted to use money to ask him for help.
