"A teacher with a reputation? Rong'er, what you said is confusing me. In the past, didn't we just say that we had to catch a thief when we lost something?"
Zhang Fude looked puzzled.
His eldest son has become more and more elusive since he went to the county. What he said was so confusing that he couldn't understand it.
Zhang Rong did not explain. He glanced at the deep forest and said calmly: "Please calm down, dad. You will understand when Lu Ying comes over in a while."
Lu Ying is the son of Butler Lu. She has been smart since she was a child. She has been working with Zhang Rong and is deeply relied on by Zhang Rong.
If nothing unexpected happens, he can inherit his father's legacy and play the same role as his father in the Zhang family.
Well, Zhang Fude shut his mouth.
Yun Ling was still observing from a distance.
This piece of Fude is mediocre, this piece of Mao is mediocre and useless, but this piece of Rong is a little unusual.
Not to mention his tall figure, even his appearance is not very similar to Zhang Fude. He looks quite upright, and his clothes are not as luxurious as those of the Zhang family and his son. He simply wears a scholar's long shirt. At first glance,
You would think that he is quite elegant and has the air of a gentleman.
But if you look closely, you can see that there are heavy dents between his eyebrows and his eyes, and he is not as easy to get along with as his face.
This is not an easy person to deal with.
Yun Ling let out a long sigh, a bad premonition welling up in her heart.
Not long after, another member of the Zhang family drove a carriage and came quickly.
At this time, many villagers came over and whispered to each other on the road.
It’s no wonder they were curious. The Zhang family had been making a lot of noise in the past few days, and they had long wanted to come over and find out. However, the Zhang family had been guarding the entrance of the banyan tree forest fiercely, and would rush to see people coming from a distance.
Didn't find out anything.
Mr. Zhang Lizheng is a famous smiling tiger, Mr. Zhang Mao and Mr. Zhang are evil wolves who only eat people, but Mr. Zhang Rong is the only one who is easy-going and polite to others.
Seeing that the eldest son of the Zhang family had returned from a long trip, the villagers' curiosity was aroused again.
"Lu Ying has met the master and the eldest young master." After Lu Ying got out of the car, she glanced at her biological father and then stepped forward to salute the master.
Zhang Fude snorted coldly and turned his face away. He was angry with Butler Lu for losing his son, so he naturally didn't have a good look when he saw Lu Ying.
"Get up, have you brought back the things I asked you to borrow?" Zhang Rong asked.
"When I went to the Li Mansion to borrow it, Mr. Li happened to be at home. I heard that you wanted to borrow a mastiff dog for use, so he agreed. When it was time to choose, Mr. Li changed his mind and said that he would send all three.
Let you choose it yourself, and he will give it to you to raise."
As Lu Ying said this, he opened the door of the carriage.
Zhang Rong glanced sideways for a few times and said, "Then let's pull them down together and use them all."
"Yes." Lu Ying responded and got in the car.
When he came down again, he held three iron chains tightly in his hand.
Three tall and powerful mastiffs jumped out of the car after him, looked around with dark animal eyes, and then stood still.
As soon as the three mastiffs appeared, the nearby villagers were startled. Some of them were timid and ran home without saying a word.
For a time, most of the women and children dispersed like the wind, but only some young and strong men remained in place.
The brave one took two steps forward and said hello: "The young master is back, what are you and Li Zheng doing? Why did you bring such a wolf dog here? But what difficulties did you encounter? If you use
If you can match the big guy, just ask!"
Zhang Rong waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "My brother is naughty. A few days ago, because of a few words of discipline from my father, he got angry and ran into the banyan forest. This forest is quite big, and there are some ferocious beasts. My brother is hiding in it, so we can't
It's easy to find. If this is not the case, I asked the county magistrate's son to borrow this mastiff dog. "
He looked around at the villagers outside and continued to explain: "This mastiff has a very good nose. As long as they smell my brother's clothes, they can find the clothes and accessories that my brother has worn, and even the money that my brother has touched.
You can find traces of it."
"It looks like a wolf, and its nose is sharper than a dog..."
The villagers listened to his words and talked a lot.
Zhang Rong carefully looked at everyone's expressions and found nothing out of the ordinary.
He twisted his eyebrows imperceptibly and said again: "I accept your wishes, but it's getting late, so I'd better go home early. When I find my brother, I will definitely give you a banquet."
He is already famous at a young age and has considerable prestige in the village, far above his father.
After hearing what he said, everyone left one after another.
At this time, Butler Lu came up holding a box.
He shook himself and squatted down.
Three mastiff dogs came up.
After sniffing for a while, they sniffed and shook the chains around their necks.
"Young master, it's done, it's time to set off." Lu Ying said.
Zhang Rong nodded, pointed at a few servants casually, and said: "You two will lead the mastiff into the forest. If you find the second young master, bring him back. If he refuses to come back, come back and notify me."
"Yes." Several people agreed and set off.
Zhang Rong pointed to a few more servants and told them to guard the roads in various parts of the village to monitor the movements of the surrounding villagers.
Then, he stood there and rubbed his eyebrows.
This is his habitual action when he is upset.
He knew Zhang Mao, a stinky boy, very well. He couldn't bear the slightest suffering or the slightest hunger. He was just a paper tiger. He didn't dare to travel far away by himself. Except for going to a few brothels, he wouldn't know how to do it.
Leave Xixia Village.
It’s been so long since it hasn’t appeared, I’m afraid the odds are against it...
Although he doesn't like to see Zhang Mao, they are still brothers after all.
In short, he wanted to see people while he was alive, and he wanted to see his body when he died.
----------------------------------------
Yun Ling watched the three mastiff dogs enter the banyan forest, and her heart sank to the bottom.
In the world of spiritual cultivation, many monsters are born with noses that are gifted and can detect smells and smells. There are also higher-level ones that can smell the location of treasures, such as her wine.
Unexpectedly, there are dog beasts with such sensitive noses in the mortal world.
The hole she dug was not deep. If the mastiff's ability was not exaggerated, Zhang Mao's body would be found soon.
She boasted that she had done everything flawlessly, but now it seemed that she was about to fall short.
These mortals cannot be underestimated.
Zhang Rong's words just now were sparse and ordinary, as if he was chatting with the villagers, but in line with his arrangements for his servants, they were orderly and interlocking.
He said to his father that he should "become a famous teacher" and he really meant it.
Zhang Rong suspected that someone among the villagers had killed Zhang Mao.
If it was really the villagers who did it, his such a grand gesture would definitely attract snakes to come out of their holes to take a look.
Yun Ling asked himself, if he hadn't relied on his spiritual consciousness to observe from a distance, he would have definitely blended in with the villagers to take a closer look.
And the few words Zhang Rong said to the villagers had even more profound meanings.
If you are not careful, flaws will be exposed.
