Just two hours later, Zhang Yang got the news and hurried back to his home in Golden Crow City...
At this moment, the Zhang family lives in the inner city at the core of Jinwu City. The entire inner city covers an area of more than 1,500 acres. It is protected by high castle walls outside and backed by mountains, rivers and gardens inside. It already has the appearance of a truly wealthy family.
There are more than 20,000 Golden Crow Guards guarding the inner city. The Golden Crow Guards' barracks are right next to the inner city and can be mobilized at any time. As soon as the news of Zhang Ping's assassination came, the Golden Crow Guards guarding the inner city suddenly
Like a beast with a sting, it was full of murderous intent. Even the entire Golden Crow City was under martial law. Groups of heavily armed patrol soldiers suddenly appeared on the streets in the city. The atmosphere in the entire Golden Crow City suddenly became tense.
Tight.
Zhang Yang's flying boat landed directly on the landing field in the inner city. As soon as the flying boat landed and the door opened, Zhang Yang, with a livid face and a serious look on his face, walked out under the escort of a knight master. He had been waiting at the flying boat landing field for a long time.
Several people outside quickly greeted him and followed Zhang Yang's footsteps towards the inner house.
"How is my father?" Zhang Yang hurriedly asked a man who looked like a housekeeper directly.
"Everything is fine, sir. He was just slightly frightened. He is teasing some young masters at home now..." Zhang Yang's footsteps were so fast that the housekeeper almost jogged to keep up.
Hearing these words, Zhang Yang's face improved a little. Dad can still entertain some grandchildren in the house, which means that dad is really fine.
"Has the city gate been sealed?" Zhang Yang looked at another man wearing the uniform of the Golden Crow Guard.
"The city lord said that there is no need to make things worse and affect the commercial activities of Golden Crow City, so he ordered that the city gates should not be blocked..." the officer replied.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang frowned slightly, but then relaxed, because he knew that this was what his father was thinking. As the city lord, his father felt like he used to look after the shop for his family in Black Flame City.
, I consider everything about my family and don’t care about my own hard work and safety.
Arriving at the inner courtyard, Zhang Yang walked through the court and hall. The servants and maids in the inner courtyard all hurriedly stood by the roadside, either bowing or blessing, and presented gifts to Zhang Yang one by one.
Finally returning home, the knights sent by Jinpeng Bank who followed Zhang Yang stayed outside, and Zhang Yang walked into the house alone.
After such a big thing happened, almost the whole family gathered in the hall of the main house. Several of Zhang Tie's younger siblings also came over.
When Zhang Yang saw his father, he saw Zhang Ping happily holding two children of two or three years old and crawling on his lap, while his mother, with a worried look on her face and red eyes, was chatting with Linda next to her.
Several people were talking.
The family saw Zhang Yang coming back. Except for Zhang Yang's father and mother, almost everyone in the hall stood up and had seen Zhang Yang.
In these years, Zhang Tie no longer lives in the family. Zhang Yang has taken charge of the Zhang family business by himself, and he has become more and more dignified as the head of the family, both inside and outside.
"Dad..." A young man also stood up and called Zhang Yang politely. Zhang Yang nodded. This young man was Zhang Chengan.
Zhang Chengan, who was born in the year 890 of the Black Iron Calendar, is now a strong young man who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old. His facial features also show more similarities with Zhang Yang. As the eldest son and grandson of the third generation of the Zhang family,
Below are a group of younger brothers and sisters. Zhang Chengan has had a stable personality since he was a child. Although he is not very old, it seems that he already has a somewhat calm temperament.
"Dad, are you okay?" Zhang Yang came and sat down in front of Zhang Ping. After carefully looking at Zhang Ping from head to toe, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine, what can happen to me..." As Zhang Ping spoke, he straightened his feet and let the two children use his feet to climb up like a slide, climbing up and sliding down again.
Haha, Linda and the others came over to take the two children away, but Zhang Ping stopped them.
"I will ask Liu Gongfeng to follow you from now on!"
"No, you often work outside. If you don't have a knight master by your side, you won't be at ease at home or outside. In this Huaiyuan Hall, the knights are all family elders. Tianji Sect has arranged for a knight to sit in our house to protect us.
The thoughtfulness of our family is already very eye-catching. I don’t know how many people are talking about it outside. I am a small city lord of Golden Crow City, and I am followed by a family elder-level master. What will everyone in Huaiyuan Hall think!"
Zhang Ping turned his head and said to Zhang Yang seriously.
"But……"
Outside, Zhang Yang was speaking his mind, and his majesty was growing, but at home, in the middle of his words, Zhang Ping raised his hand to interrupt him, and he could only listen obediently.
Zhang Ping let out a long sigh, "In my lifetime, I can see that you brothers can earn such a family fortune in Taixia. The entire Zhang family is prosperous. Cheng'an and Chengze are more successful than the others. I can help when I can."
I'm very satisfied helping you two brothers look after your home. When I was earning a few gold coins a month in the factory in Black Flame City, I never imagined that I, Zhang Ping, would one day live such a life. Although something happened today
, but even if I can't come back today, I won't have any regrets..."
Hearing what Zhang Ping said, Zhang Tie's mother shed tears again, "I told your father that if the position of the Lord of the Golden Crow City is dangerous, just don't do it..."
"You are just a woman. If those people really want to take action, unless we, the Zhang family, stay in the inner city all our lives and never go out, otherwise, they will find an opportunity sooner or later. This has nothing to do with whether I can do it outside."
What does the city lord have to do with it? Such a big Golden Crow City is our family’s property. If our own family has to shrink back and forth in Golden Crow City, wouldn’t it be a joke!” Zhang Ping said to Zhang Tie’s mother in a dignified manner. Usually Zhang Tie
Zhang Tie's mother can always speak down to Zhang Ping, but when it comes to such a big event, Zhang Tie's mother doesn't argue because she knows Zhang Ping is right.
After Zhang Ping finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Yang, "My abilities are limited and I am self-aware. With the help of my superiors and subordinates, my position as Lord of the Golden Crow City is already the limit. This is what I can still do for you two brothers."
Yes, don’t make this matter too big this time. After two days, I will do whatever I need to do, and I won’t leave behind the affairs of the Golden Crow City government office..."
A smile appeared on Zhang Yang's face. "I know, I will arrange other things!"
"Let's eat. Chengan just came back today. It's rare for the whole family to have a meal together..." Zhang Ping simply stood up with his two children in his arms.
…
During the meal, Zhang Yang stopped talking about the matter and asked Zhang Chengan about his studies at Youzhou Academy.
Youzhou Academy is currently the most advanced official school in Youzhou. The teaching staff inside is the best in Youzhou, gathering top talents in all aspects, and from time to time there are also knight-level elders from various families and clans in Youzhou.
Or guest ministers come to teach. Such a lineup, even if Huaiyuan Tang is the governor's family, cannot come up with it. This is also one of Taixia's national policies. Taixia attaches great importance to education, so among the states, the official schools at the state level are all concentrated.
Elites from all schools in the state, rich families and common people are all taken care of. In terms of the comprehensive teaching strength of the school, if the strength of the state-level official schools is second, dare to say first, although it is not without them, there are only a few private schools of wealthy families.
It can be compared with state-level official schools.
But there is another point that no private school from a wealthy family can compare with a government school. That is the connections students can make in school. No matter what the private school is, most of the children in it are from the same family, with some mixed
A few related households or side bloodlines of the family are limitations in themselves. But in official schools, there is no such restriction. In the same school, there are many children of wealthy families at all levels, and there is no shortage of children of common people. Not to mention wealthy families, they are just ordinary people.
Among the disciples, there may be a few county pastors and governor-level figures in the future. The Taixia court originally intended to select officials from among civilians to balance the influence of local wealthy families.
Nearly half of the people who can study in Youzhou Academy have contributed to Youzhou Academy. They are children from various wealthy families in Youzhou. This is a quota. The other half are locals in Youzhou who were admitted through open selection.
Outstanding young man.
It has been three years since Zhang Chengan entered Youzhou Official School.
Of course, the education provided by state-level official schools is completely different from that of the large sects in Taixia, and the two sides follow two different routes.
This time, it happened to be a coincidence that Zhang Chengan was participating in the internship class at the school. Just today, he passed by Jinwu City and saw the tense atmosphere in Jinwu City. Zhang Chengan found out that his grandfather had been assassinated, so he hurriedly ran home to visit.
"Go back after dinner, and don't rely on your status to be special in Youzhou Academy!" Zhang Yang said to his son.
"Dad, don't worry, I have never mentioned my identity in the school. Except for a few teachers in the school, most of the students only know that I am from Yanghe County, and the others don't know. And this time I came out
, I also took a six-hour leave from the leader of the team. Seeing that grandpa was fine, I felt relieved and wanted to go back..." Zhang Chengan said politely.
Hearing this, Zhang Ping nodded, feeling that his son was sensible, "Is this your internship in Golden Crow City this time?"
"Yes, this is a dual-subject comprehensive internship class on airships and geography. It will take a total of one and a half months. We will take an airship around Youzhou. We will perform maintenance and driving operations on the airship as well as the topography, landforms, properties, resources, and city layouts of various places in Youzhou along the way.
and some content that intersects with military geography can be learned..."
Zhang Ping listened, nodded, and said with emotion, "Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Your school's method is quite good. You fly around in the sky and then come down to check and study everywhere, combining work and rest.
I have learned the skills on the airship, and have not left behind the knowledge on the ground. Such conditions are only available in Taixia. Back then in Black Flame City, I remember that when Uncle Tie was your age, he would eat a sweet potato every morning.
Carrying my schoolbag, I rushed towards the school. Because the school was far away from home, in order to save a few copper coins on the bus fare, Uncle Tie was reluctant to take the bus. The so-called internship classes in the school were at most a few simple ones in the factory.
Those things on the processing table, and occasionally dig the ground! You have such a good situation now, you should cherish it, and you should also seriously learn your skills and gain knowledge..."
"I remember everything grandpa said!" Zhang Chengan nodded.
Zhang Ping suddenly mentioned Zhang Tie, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became dull. Zhang Tie's mother's eyes, which had just stopped crying, were now a little red again, "Last time you said Zhang Tie was in the Earth Yuan Realm?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
"I don't know if Guoguo is okay in the Diyuan Realm now. I heard that there is no light all year round. There are dangerous places everywhere, with lava everywhere and monsters running rampant. It's like the Nine Nether Hell. These children are just like Cheng Lei and the others.
They were born one by one with golden keys in their mouths, but now they can speak and have never seen their own father..." Zhang Tie's mother said worriedly.
The chopsticks of Linda and others all slowed down. The table was full of delicacies, and none of them tasted the food...
"Mom, dad, and a few younger brothers and sisters, don't worry. It won't take long. As long as the Golden Crow Business Group is still there, Zhang Tie will definitely be able to come back openly. In the past few days, I have established a relationship with Xuanyuan Hill.
Zhang Tie's matter has already turned around..." Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
Hearing the news from Zhang Yang, everyone in the Zhang family was shocked.
Although the assassination of Zhang Ping cast a shadow on the Zhang family, as soon as the family heard that Zhang Tie had the possibility of clearing his grievances and coming back, everyone suddenly felt that as long as Zhang Tie came back, then the family
No matter what happens, it is nothing.
In this family, if it is said that Zhang Yang is the helmsman of this family, steering the Zhang family's big ship across the ocean, avoiding rocks and dangerous shoals, and keeping the family safe, no one would think this metaphor is exaggerated. But the same is true.
This family, including Zhang Yang himself, also understands that if he is the helmsman, then Zhang Tie is the anchor of this family. As long as Zhang Tie is at home, this family, from top to bottom, is full of laughter and laughter, and no one can
Worrying about any obstacles that may be difficult to overcome...
…
Although Zhang Ping was assassinated this time, the situation is serious, but the three generations of the Zhang family are large in number, and they are still underage to take charge. They are all children. Zhang Yang and Zhang Tie are still in their prime. If they are willing, it will not be a problem to have a hundred sons, so
No one would pay attention to Zhang Chengan and the others.
After dinner, Zhang Yang directly arranged for a guard to take Zhang Chengan out of the city.
As soon as Zhang Chengan left, Tang De, the manager of Jinpeng Bank in Jinwu City, came.
Tang De first greeted Zhang Ping, and when he saw that Zhang Ping was fine, he and Zhang Yang came to the study for a secret talk.
As soon as Tang De left, Elder Mu En of Huaiyuantang personally arrived with a large number of experts from Youzhou Tingwei Mansion and Huaiyuantang. As soon as these people arrived, they were immediately sent to Golden Crow City to collect various clues...
After having secret talks with Elder Mun En, we directly arranged for Elder Mun En to temporarily live in the inner city. Only then did one of Zhang Ping's confidants find the opportunity, came to Zhang Ping, and whispered a few words to Zhang Ping...
When Zhang Ping heard this, his eyes flashed, "Where is that person?"
