"What do these people mean?"
Wang Yong, the man who opened the door, said flatteringly, "Master, these people must be afraid of your threat."
"Hmph, I know this Wu Yu. Not long after he took the position of Kaifeng Governor, he accomplished several big things, but he has no roots in Kyoto and will not be able to sit in this position for long."
His cousin, now Zhang Meiren, had not survived the two princesses. With her current favor, at least she must be a noble, and it is not impossible to ascend to the concubine position directly.
What is he afraid of?
Isn't his uncle now rising through the ranks just because of his cousin?
How could Wu Yu not know that he didn't dare to offend their Zhang family.
Zhang Youxiang sighed: "There are still people in the court who can do things easily. What a life I had in my hometown of Yong'an before. Now I am as happy as a god. Even if you buy me a house on Jiuhai Street, I won't care about it."
Wang Yong murmured in his heart.
The reason why houses on Jiuhai Street are not rare is because they are simply unaffordable.
The houses on Jiuhai Street are all occupied by dignitaries, and the houses are expensive. Although Zhang Youxiang can dominate due to Zhang Meiren's relationship, he is far from being able to live in Jiuhai Street.
This is to say that the grapes are not sour if you cannot eat them.
After Wu Yu and others left Jiangnan Village on horseback, they slowed down and asked Gu Qingjue: "Are you sure about what you just said?"
"No, it's just a guess."
Wu Yu was not angry, but said: "In this case, Li Duan and Chen Pingsan are willing to stay at Master Gu's disposal, and I will give you four more government servants. Is that enough?"
"No, just the two of them."
Wu Yu nodded: "The murderer is extremely cunning. You must be careful. It is really important to save your life."
After Wu Yu took Wang Han and the twelve government officials away, Gu Qingjue signaled them to get off their horses and hide in the woods nearby.
I simply ate some dry food and waited until dark before returning to Jiangnan Village in the dark.
The three of them were guarding a corner of the Zhang family's wall.
"Zi Yuan, I'm a little scared."
It was the end of the month, and there was no moon or stars in the sky. It was pitch black and a cold wind blew from time to time.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the wind blowing on his face and neck was not cold wind, but gusts of dark wind, which made people feel terrified.
"Just think about the time when you were in the academy."
Li Duanyuan: "..."
I'm really grateful to you. I don't want to open any pot. Isn't it scary to almost have your brains sucked dry by that monster in the academy?
Time passed by minute by minute.
They listened to the movement in Zhang's backyard, which never stopped for a moment.
After Hai hour, the movement in the backyard gradually stopped. When the lights of the Zhang family went out, it was really impossible to see anything.
If the eyes cannot see anything, the facial features will become sharper accordingly.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Li Duanyuan heard a strange noise and pulled Gu Qingjue's clothes excitedly. His eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could see Gu Qingjue's face clearly. He pursed his lips and faced The direction is exactly the gate of Zhang family.
Gu Qingjue nodded, indicating that he heard it too.
Li Duanyuan made a gesture, meaning whether he wanted to go in now.
Gu Qingjue shook his head.
It's too early to go in now. The people inside have to suffer so that they won't say the rude things they said during the day.
After a while, Chen Pingsan asked in a low voice: "Master Gu, can you go in now?"
"Come in."
The three of them climbed over the wall and went straight in, led by Chen Pingsan, straight to the room where Zhang Youxiang lived.
Li Duanyuan: "There are still lights, but they were all out just now."
Chen Pingsan ran fast, with the saber on his waist already drawn out, and with a kick of his long legs, the door was kicked open.
"Oh, I'm so fucked."
What he didn't expect was that the person inside was not the murderer who came over in the middle of the night to kill Zhang Youxiang, but a man who was almost as ugly as Zhang Youxiang, and several disheveled women "fighting" together.
The woman inside did not scream as expected, but put on her clothes with unfinished content, and stood aside looking at Zhang Youxiang.
Li Duanyuan saw the scene inside through the crack in the door and shouted: "I'll go!"
It's so annoying.
He made a quick decision and pulled Gu Qingjue away.
Chen Pingsan was dumbfounded as he watched the two of them quickly disappear into the darkness, which was called a depressed person.
Okay, let him bear everything.
"Who else is out there?"
"No, you heard wrong."
Zhang Youxiang glared at Chen Pingsan: "I said that your government has not finished yet, and you just barge in at night. What are you doing?"
"Zhang Youxiang, we suspect that the murderer will commit another crime again, and we have gone out of our way to protect you."
"Protect, I would have died if I wanted you to protect me. Hurry up and roll the ball, don't delay my enjoyment."
They did not expect that there would be such a scene inside, and they were at fault, so they could only let Zhang Youxiang scold them, and left Zhang Mansion with anger in their hearts.
"This Zhang Youxiang is so playful."
My own woman can also let other men play with her.
This realm is not something ordinary people can achieve.
Gu Qingjue clasped his hands behind his back and walked on the way out of the village without speaking. Li Duanyuan and Gu Qingjue knew each other in the academy and knew that Gu Qingjue was thinking about the problem, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Not long after, Chen Pingsan chased after him. He wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Duanyuan.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, they were about to reach the place where they hid their horses. Gu Qingjue suddenly stopped and shouted: "It's broken."
"What's broken?"
"That person just now was the murderer."
Gu Qingjue ran back and finally used Qinggong. Li Duanyuan and Chen Pingsan were taken aback and followed Gu Qingjue, using all their strength to rush to Zhang Youxiang's home.
Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.
When they arrived, Zhang Youxiang and the women were already lying in a pool of blood. The scene was horrifying and horrific.
Chen Pingsan said: "How could this happen? That person turned out to be the murderer. I didn't even take a good look at what that person looked like. Where should I find him now?"
Gu Qingjue gritted his molars.
The murderer killed Zhang Youxiang under their noses. This was tantamount to declaring war on their government.
And in the first round, he won beautifully.
When we returned to the Su Mansion, it was already broad daylight. Such a tragedy that happened to the Zhang family must not be hidden.
Wu Yu and Gu Qingjue had no intention of hiding it.
When Zhang Wanqing got the news, she happened to be feeding the eighth princess: "I understand, go down!"
After the person Jia reported to went out, he put the things in his hands aside, walked up to Zhang Wanqing, and said softly: "Madam, don't come forward in this matter."
Zhang Wanqing said nonchalantly: "My relationship with that cousin has never been close. He acted outside under my banner, and I just turned a blind eye."
