At this time, the tigers that roam day and night are the most ferocious, and people can occasionally hear the roar of tigers, so it is called "Yin Tiger".
Just before dawn, Fan Yuan heard the sound of a watch in the distance. His body trembled. The hand he was twirling his beard shook and he pulled out a beard.
"Tiger."
He whispered to himself, turned to look outside the door, and saw the lantern shaking, but Ding Quan hadn't come back yet.
He gently rubbed the beard with his fingers and thought for a moment. He suddenly stood up and ran quickly to Zhang's house.
"Quick, I need to see Wulang for something!"
…
Not long after, Zhang Hongdao arrived at the lobby wearing clothes, followed by two beautiful maids carrying lanterns.
Fan Yuan immediately prostrated himself and said: "Wu Lang, this villain has made a big mistake. I beg Wu Lang to punish him severely."
"Get up first. You are the one next to Ninth Brother. If you really do something wrong, let him deal with it. Let me tell you what happened first."
Zhang Hongdao raised his hand with a calm demeanor.
Fan Yuan didn't get up, and told everything that happened during the day and night. Finally, he said: "This matter was messed up by a villain. You shouldn't be so smart as to send Ding Quan to take action without permission. Now he has not come back."
, I’m afraid I was left behind.”
Zhang Hongdao's face became solemn and he said slowly: "You can't afford this matter."
"Yes, the villain can't afford it." Fan Yuan said: "I'm afraid that the little thief is deliberately provoking Chi Na to conflict with us. The villain will be plotted by him step by step. Things will get out of hand and cause great disaster to the Zhang family, so we have to
Please come forward, Wulang... The villain is guilty."
"A small craftsman from the south can actually achieve this step."
"That little thief cannot be dealt with at the level of a villain. Zhang Rongzhi and Qiao Ju are not enough to deal with him... It is not a villain's excuse. He should be punished and will not quibble. I only ask Wulang to pay attention to this kid and attack him as soon as possible.
kill."
"Is it okay if we don't take it seriously?" Zhang Jingdao smiled bitterly and said, "Chi Na is about to kill the Zhang family. Let's talk about how to solve this matter first."
Fan Yuandao said: "Please Wulang go see the governor again and ask him to control Chi Na and stop messing around, and then give Yang Shen to us... This kid is cunning, so we might as well kill him directly to avoid further trouble."
"You didn't come to me a long time ago, and you're here now. Ding Quan left four corpses there tonight, how could Eri Dunbari just let it go?"
"The villain has made the decision without permission. Please Wulang... hand the villain over to the town officer and let him kill the villain to satisfy his anger."
Zhang Hongdao did not answer immediately. He stared at Fan Yuan for a long time before speaking.
"Back then, when my father was still a general of the Jin Dynasty, the traitor Jia Yu of the Jin Dynasty killed Duke Miao, the military envoy. Miao Gong was kind to his father, so my father raised an army to avenge him, and cut open Jia Yu's heart and soul in sacrifice to Duke Miao... This
You also know this past incident."
"Yes, the villain knows."
Zhang Hongdao stood up and said, "Then you should know that my Zhang family is not a family that cannot afford trouble."
With just one sentence, Fan Yuan's eyes turned red, he prostrated himself again, and cried: "You villain... it's the villain who messed up the job..."
"I know, but you also said it, Yang Shen... no matter what his name is, he is not something you can deal with with your little experience. If you are to blame for this, blame me, the Zhang family, for not giving you enough authority."
Fan Yuan raised his head and burst into tears.
Zhang Hongdao stepped forward to help him up, and said: "What Eridunbari wants is not your life, he wants to share the taxes of Bozhou. I will deal with him on this matter. If it doesn't work, I will wait for my father to come back."
Come back from Kaifeng. In short, if you can't afford it, I will. You work diligently for the Zhang family, and something goes wrong, but I can only blame you, so who am I?"
Zhang Wulang clearly had a plan in his mind, but he insisted on asking Fan Yuan first, and then added these words. Fan Yuan was so grateful for this great favor, and cried so hard that his nose became even redder, and his nose was filled with snot and tears...
…
~~
Only half an hour later, Zhang Hongdao persuaded Eredunbari.
Being humbled in the process was a bit humiliating for him, but the whole thing was not out of his control for the time being.
In the current situation, the Khan's court is suspicious of King Monan, and may even want to take action against him... The Zhang family has received far more information than Eridunbari, otherwise Zhang Rou would not have gone to Kaifeng in person.
Eridunbari was not as stupid as his son. He might have known that it was Xizuo from the Song Dynasty who was jumping up and down, and he might even have deliberately allowed Xizuo to create conflicts in order to use this as an excuse to attack the Zhang family.
However, there is a limit to everything. As the governor of Bozhou, Eridunbari's interests are slightly different from those of the Khan's court. He does not want Henan, which the Han princes and scholar-bureaucrats managed to manage with great difficulty, to become a desolate horse herding land again.
.
To put it simply, what Eridunbari wanted was to overthrow the Zhang family. As for overthrowing Kublai Khan, that was a further step for him. What he wanted was for the Zhang family to share more profits.
Zhang Hongdao had already seen through the whole thing and had been dealing with it. This time, he had no choice but to relax.
Of course the Zhang family suffered a huge loss, but in this situation, they just spent money to buy peace.
This is also Zhang Hongdao's decisiveness. Knowing that a storm is coming, he first settles small problems at any cost to avoid further complications.
As soon as he relented, Eredunbari immediately stated that he would control his son and hand over the detailed work under the pseudonym Yang Shen.
"Bayin, take someone with you and take good care of my stupid son. Then capture the interpreter and give it to Wulang. It's best if he lives or dies."
This Bayin was a Mongolian centurion, eight feet tall and as strong as a wall. After receiving the order, he immediately led more than 30 people and left aggressively...

When Zhang Hongdao went out, another group of carriages drove out from the Zhang family, and a hundred-man guard followed them with weapons in hand.
Zhang Yanxiong, one of Zhang Rou's old soldiers, rode in front of the team.
Fan Yuan followed Zhang Yanxiong on horseback.
"Why are you rushing to send your eldest sister to Baozhou?" Zhang Yanxiong asked.
Fan Yuan explained the matter, and then said: "It was me who made a mistake, and let a little thief alienate us from the governor's family. Now Wu Lang has come forward to solve the problem, but we are still worried after thinking about it. You also know
,China..."
"snort!"
Hearing the name "Chi Na", Zhang Yanxiong snorted heavily.
Fan Yuan added: "Once what happened last night came out, no one knew what Chi Na would do. If the governor failed to control him, the consequences would be disastrous... Furthermore, now that the commander-in-chief is not in Bozhou, it is better to arrest him first.
The eldest sister was sent back to Baozhou so that Chi Na would not worry about her. Wu Lang will have less worries in his future actions."
"That's how it should be." Zhang Yanxiong said: "At that time, I should have let my eldest sister go to Baozhou with Jiulang. Otherwise, being stared at by that idiot all day long would be annoying to death."
"Who would have thought that so many things happened in just a few days." Fan Yuan sighed: "I messed up the matter. I happened to escort the eldest sister to Baozhou and asked Jiulang to punish her."
"Why don't you bring the second sister with you?"
Fan Yuan said: "The second sister is engaged to the Guo family in Xingzhou, so it doesn't matter. In fact, Wu Lang is sure of keeping the governor in check. He is just afraid that Chi Na will mess around, so he just sends the eldest sister away."
"Yes, people with brains are not to be feared, but they are not to be feared,"
The two of them talked about this all the way, led the team to the city gate, took out their tokens and called the city gate open...
In the carriage, Zhang Wenjing was talking to the little maid next to her.
That little maid's name is "Yan'er", and her eyes sparkle every time she stares at her little lady.
"My eldest sister is so beautiful, no wonder so many people want to snatch her."
"Don't talk nonsense, someone will come and rob you."
As Zhang Wenjing spoke, she slightly lifted the car curtain and looked around. She felt that she felt much more at ease away from Bozhou City...

At the same time, in Bozhou City, Bayin kicked open the gate of the courtyard where Li Xia lived and shouted: "Take down that Song man Xizuo!"
