Zhang Rou did not stay in Kaifeng for too long. Although Alan Daer intended to keep him for review, Tachaer had already sent troops to Jinghu, and Zhang Rou also wanted to go with him.
Such a general with military power cannot be moved by the Goukao Bureau at will. Even if there is a serious crime, the evidence can only be sent to the Khan's court for disposal by the Khan.
On October 11, Zhang Rou's car returned to Bozhou.
When he left, he only had 500 fine cavalry, but when he came back, he brought more than 100 people from Yang Guo's family, old and young.
Zhang Hongdao stood on the attic and watched, his eyes always squinted and his expression solemn.
After Yang Guo and his family settled down in the small courtyard, he turned down the attic and headed all the way to the study.
"I've seen my father... I've seen the situation in the other courtyard. Are you asking Yang Guo to take the whole family to Shouzhou to take office? I'm afraid it's against the rules."
"Of course it's against the rules, but this was done by Shi Tianze, so what does it have to do with us?" Zhang Rou took off her armor, leaned on the recliner, and murmured: "It's more comfortable at home."
Zhang Hongdao was worried and said: "If Yang Guo's family defectes by then, the Shi family will really have to bear a big responsibility. He..."
"He was forced by Li Xia, but he always found a way to change things, even if he sent Yang Guo away and claimed that he was killed by Song people." Zhang Judao: "I talked with Yang Guo, and he didn't want to serve in Zhao Song.
Even if I run away, I plan to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests so that the news will not reach the Khan's court. You don't need to worry about Shi Tianze."
"I'm too lazy to care about the historian." Zhang Hongdao said solemnly: "I just want to deal with Li Xia as soon as possible."
"Any clues?"
"No, there are a few people in the city who have seen Li Xia. I have arranged to go out and investigate, but I have never seen him."
Zhang Hongdao said in a low voice, "There are more than a hundred people in Yang Guo's family. Is Li Xia hiding inside?"
"Shi Tianze and I have checked it no less than ten times. If you are worried, go and check it yourself."
Zhang Hongdao smiled bitterly and said: "Father and Shi Shuai have not found out, so Li Xia must not be hiding in Yang Guo... It would be better to keep Yang Guo in Bozhou, and sooner or later Li Xia will show up."
"I will set off to attack the Song Dynasty within two days. You can arrange this." Zhang Ju said: "But it cannot be held for too long, otherwise if Li Xia kills Shi Zhang, we will offend Shi Tianze."
"Yes, my child is sensible."
"You are sensible, but you are too persistent." Zhang Ju said, "If you really can't catch them, forget it. You can just let Li Xia and Yang Guo go. One more thing is worse than one less thing."
"Father, how could..."
"If we can't get rid of it, we should get rid of the scourge as soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse, especially at this time."
"But……"
"Don't give me a 'but'. It's great if you can catch Li Xia, but you have to be prepared for not being able to catch him. Also, don't touch Yang Guo. The handle is in other people's hands. You can't make a life-and-death situation. Who do you want to deal with?"
It’s no good.”
Zhang Hongdao had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "Yes."
Zhang Rou lay down a little bored, pulled a soft leather jacket over her body, and said, "I'll take a nap, you go ahead."
"My father has such an attitude."
"My uncle has thought carefully about it. He has delayed it for too long and let the evil continue to fan the flames of evil and shake off our affairs. Besides, what if the eldest sister..."
Zhang Hongdao rubbed his forehead, sat down opposite Jingjie, smiled bitterly, and said, "With such a prominent family background, are you still afraid of this kid?"
"Yang Guo, if you want to detain it, just detain it for a few days... There is one more thing I'm afraid I can't hide from you."
"Another bad news?"
Jingjie packed up the documents and said, "Liu Zhong has been investigating China's affairs and has found out about China's feud with our family."
Zhang Hongdao just leaned on the back of his chair. Hearing this, he immediately stood up again, his eyes full of surprise.
"So fast?!"
"Well, this matter is so strange." Jingjie paused and muttered: "According to the information I obtained, Liu Zhongzhi cannot be said to be a waste, but he is just a mediocre person. He was able to do this when investigating the case.
Is it so targeted?"
Zhang Hongdao's expression condensed and he asked: "Cousin is saying...someone is mentioning Liu Zhongzhi? Li Xia?"
"What do you think?"
"It's possible that this isn't the first time we've dealt with that kid. That guy..."
Jingjie also looked solemn and said: "The problem is that Liu Zhongzhi is temporarily living in a place where he doesn't work."
Zhang Hongdao thought about it and said slowly: "This is just our guess and has no basis. But if our guess is true, then... Li Xia may have figured it out."
"Did you count it?"
"You don't need to guess. If we go to Zhi Bugan's house to check on Liu Zhongzhi, Li Xia will definitely try to make us conflict with Zhi Bugan and Liu Zhongzhi... You damn little beasts."
"Last year he was still able to assassinate people. Now he knows how to take advantage of the situation and constantly provoke conflicts between the princes and the Khan's court." Jingjie said slowly: "The methods are much more powerful."
Zhang Hongdao sneered: "He is the fly that bites the egg."
"But if we don't solve it as soon as possible, I'm afraid the gap will get bigger and bigger." Jingjie said: "You can still kill me even if you don't do it. This new Lu Dahuachi is a clan member.
"
"Let's find a way to solve it."
"Yes." Jingjie wrapped a small cloth bag and stood up and said, "I have to go to Luyi to sort out the whole affair of China."
"Luyi?" Zhang Hongdao was surprised again.
At that time, Li Xia brought Chena's head to Luyi and threw it around on the Chen Tuan Pagoda. Many people saw it. It was because of this that Zhang Hongdao decided to kill Eri Dunbari.
"Has Liu Zhongzhi found it?"
"Yes." Jingjie said, "He has sent someone over this morning."
"If Li Xia were really by Liu Zhongzhi's side, he would have misled Liu Zhongzhi into thinking that Chi Na was killed by us."
"I'll try my best to cover it up." Jingjie sighed.
"Thank you for your hard work, cousin. Let me go to Zhibugan's house and test it out."
Jingjie said: "You have to be careful not to fall into a plot."
"I wish Li Xia would come and assassinate me." Zhang Hongdao said with a bitter smile: "Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no chance to catch him..."
As he said this, there was movement outside, and it was the voice of a maidservant.
"Goro."
"What's the matter?"
"The eldest sister asked Wulang, I haven't been drinking the soup on time recently, but something happened?"
Zhang Hongdao's expression changed slightly, he turned to look at Jingjie, lowered his voice and asked, "Did that girl see anything unusual?"
"I haven't let her people out of the house for many days, I'm afraid someone might notice her." Jingjie said, "I have to go, let my uncle stabilize her."
"Um."
"Also, if something happens to eldest sister, my uncle will definitely blame you... Regarding Li Xia's matter, we will do our best, but if it doesn't work, we should send Yang Guo away earlier."
"Don't you understand? He is deliberately driving a wedge between the Zhang family and the Khan's court. How can he easily..."
"I know, I know, let's go..."
Zhang Hongdao felt inexplicably more frustrated.
He was extremely unwilling, and there seemed to be thousands of ways to do it, but he found that he had never seen Li Xia even once.
Zhou Nan and Lin Xu were waiting outside the Zhang family's gate.
They were Qiao Ju's friends and had met "Yang Shen" in person. This time they were summoned by Zhang Hongdao to identify Li Xia.
Of course, the Zhang family and others such as Zhang Yanxiong have also seen Li Xia, but their number must not be large. If they want to search Bozhou City, these people are somewhat insufficient.
After a while, Zhang Hongdao finally came out.
"I'm tired of waiting for you. There are some things at home that are delayed."
"You're welcome, Goro."
Zhang Hongdao nodded and said, "Follow me to the governor's mansion. Li Xia may be hiding there. Please be careful to identify him."
"yes."
Zhou Nan turned around and saw that beside Zhang Hongdao, in addition to Shen Kai and a team of guards, there was also a short man with sinister features and sly eyes, his eyes rolling around.
He couldn't help but be surprised. He took another look at the other person and saw that the man still had thorns on his face. Although it had been washed, he could still see the marks of the thorns given to repeat criminals in the Song Dynasty...
The group of people quickly got on the carriage.
Zhou Nan couldn't help but lift the car curtain and continued to look at the man with sinister features.
"What's wrong?"
"The guy next to Wu Lang is from Song Dynasty?"
"Yeah." Zhang Hongdao nodded, "You don't have to worry about him, he's just a thief."
"Would it be inappropriate to have people from the Song Dynasty around Wu Lang at this time of year?"
"Don't worry, he is loyal to me."
Zhou Nan felt relieved and was about to lower the car curtain when he suddenly heard a "huh" sound.
"What's the matter?"
"That's Brother Bai, Bai Pu and Bai Taisu. Why did he come to Bozhou?"
"Bai Pu?"
There was some contemplation in Zhang Hongdao's eyes, and he said: "That's Mr. Yishan's disciple? I've heard of his talent for a long time. Now that I've come to Bozhou, the Zhang family will treat me well. Please take me there from far away..."
