But then Magistrate Huang calmed down all his emotions. He was not here to congratulate him this time, but to finally squeeze Zhang Jingping's ability.
At this moment, the housekeeper hurriedly came back and said, "Master Huang, my master has invited you!"
Magistrate Huang repeatedly waved his hand to the housekeeper to lead the way. In fact, it's not like he hasn't been to this house before, he is very familiar with the road.
The two of them arrived at the main hall in a blink of an eye. As soon as they entered the main hall door, they saw Zhang Jingping sitting under a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain. It's just that at this time, Zhang Jingping's eyes were dull, his figure was slightly stooped, and even his hair was a little messy, and he lost all his previous dignity!
Seeing his appearance, Magistrate Huang secretly sighed in his heart, but then he hardened his heart and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Zhang, I am here to congratulate you!"
Zhang Jingping raised his head with a wry smile and said, "Master Huang, how did this marquis position come about? Others don't know, but you don't know it either? And it's hard to say whether there will be a Zhang family after three generations!"
Seeing that Zhang Jingping made his words clear, Magistrate Huang could only use nice words to comfort him. After the two of them sat down, they exchanged some useless words. Zhang Jingping finally said, "I wonder what Mr. Huang is doing here? I don't have much time left here, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help Mr. Huang!"
When Magistrate Huang saw that the drama had arrived, he cheered up and said, "Master Zhang, I'm not here to ask you to help me this time, but to ask you to help me!"
Zhang Jingping curled his lips and said, "Thank you so much for Mr. Huang's kindness! I just don't know how Mr. Huang is going to help me!"
Magistrate Huang pretended to be mysterious and said: "Master Zhang, you are not so smart now, are you? Now the Jin Yiwei under Hou Wu Ning are arresting people everywhere in the city, there is no way you can't hear it!"
How could such a big thing be hidden from Zhang Jingping 1 Even if he was in a bad mood today, any news would definitely be brought to him. However, when he heard this, he sneered and said, "Of course this old man knows, and I also know that the person being arrested is a member of the Qian family, and his whole family will soon be in trouble!"
Magistrate Huang immediately said: "Master Zhang's opportunity is here!"
Zhang Jingping sneered and said: "What chance are there here? With what the Qian family has done, Wu Ninghou will have no room for action! And I will leave Datong soon, so I won't be able to help you much!"
Magistrate Huang said hurriedly: "How can you say that it can't help? No one in Datong can look down upon Mr. Zhang at any time!"
But Zhang Jingping actually sneered in his heart after hearing this! If I go to the capital to be the Marquis, I'm afraid you'll come to my house to congratulate me before the imperial edict is announced! How long has it been since you came here, and you still plan to use me as a weapon!
When Magistrate Huang saw Zhang Jingping's expression, he knew that his thoughts had been revealed, but at this time he could no longer care about anything else, so he put aside his thoughts of beating around the bush and said directly: "Both Mr. Zhang and I know the reason why things have developed to this point. ! Now Master Zhang has obviously lost his power in Datong through overt and covert promotion, so it’s meaningless for you to be in front of the Marquis! And now the only people who can keep Master Zhang are those behind the grain merchants, so Master Zhang might as well By sending out soldiers and ruining this matter, it can be regarded as helping the grain merchants! Maybe they will help Mr. Zhang!"
What Magistrate Huang said really made Zhang Jingping a little moved! Wasn't it because he tried to have both sides that he was tricked? Wouldn't it be better if I found a side to take sides now? So he looked up and said, "Is it really going to work?"
Magistrate Huang immediately said: "How will you know if you don't try!"
However, Zhang Jingping had come to his senses at this time. He knew that it was obviously Huang Zhifu who was afraid that Qian Shounian would turn him out if he was caught, so he encouraged him to come forward! So he pretended to be angry and said: "Why did Father Liu help him? He never betrayed me a few days ago and caused many troubles! And the one who brought Father Liu to the capital was Marquis Wu Ning. Why did Father Liu Don't you just go to him? Maybe he will let me go to the capital alone when he is happy!"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Huang laughed and said: "Master Zhang, you and Wu Ninghou have never had any contact. Do you really believe it when you say you will surrender? Maybe after he uses you, he will
Throw it aside! So it’s not as useful as helping Qian Shou Nian! At any rate, Qian Shounian and Mr. Zhang have been working together for so many years, so they have some kind of affection! As the saying goes, it is better to be experienced than to be new. Having an acquaintance like Mr. Zhang supporting him in Datong will save more worry and effort than trying to win over new people! ”Kanshu La
At this point, Magistrate Huang said in a low voice: "Not to mention anything else, if they want to believe in our previous financial dealings, they also believe in you, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Jingping was completely moved by Magistrate Huang’s words! Over the years, he has been too deeply involved with Qian Shounian and his group! Whether it was buying military rations or reselling military rations, he had done it all, and all he dealt with was money Shounian! Based on this alone, he either has to keep his money and live a good life, or he has to kill him and silence him!
Another point is that Zhang Jingping feels that there are too many people who have contacts outside the Great Wall, and these people and caravans are all familiar with him. If he leaves Datong with his cronies, then the exit of these caravans will be a problem! Even if the newcomer is willing to wade into troubled waters, both parties must go through a process of becoming familiar and trusting each other. And this process cannot be shortened, and it is too late for those people to make money!
Therefore, if those people protect themselves, they will protect their financial resources from being cut off in a short time! When he thought about it, he felt that as long as he made it clear that he was leaning towards Qian Shounian, the people behind him would definitely work hard to protect him!
Thinking of this, he immediately gained confidence. After careful calculation for a moment, he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Come here, light all my servants! Go to the camp and light three hundred people!"
When Magistrate Huang saw his appearance, he immediately stood up and praised loudly: "Master Zhang is indeed decisive in killing!"
At this time, the door curtain was raised, and Zhang Jingping's son Zhang Chaosheng walked in quickly and said, "Father, what did you tell the servants to do just now?"
Zhang Jingping waved his hand in high spirits and said, "Take our family and go kill those brats in Wu Ninghou!"
Zhang Chaosheng was overjoyed when he heard this! Ever since he knew that his family had been promoted and demoted secretly, he had long been mad at Liu Haojia! Now that his father has given the order to take action, he wants to kill Liu Haojia as well! So he agreed and walked outside! Zhang Jingping and Huang Zhifu looked at Zhang Chaosheng who was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and smiled at each other, and they reached a tacit understanding.
