At this moment, Zhu Hansan was filled with regret. He did not expect that this little girl would actually make such a strong move, but it was too late to say anything now.
"Let go, sir!"
Zhang Liao was shocked and was about to step forward, but was interrupted by the third lady with a cold voice, "If you dare to take a step forward again, we will all die!"
For a moment, Zhang Liao could neither advance nor retreat. He could only stand there and worry.
"Hey! This rouge horse is very strong!" Pei Yuanshao touched his chin, winked at Zhang Liao and glanced at Zhang Feng not far away.
The two of them understood and suddenly took action, knocking down the soldier guarding Zhang Feng to the ground in a few seconds. Zhang Liao put a knife on Zhang Feng's neck and shouted to the third lady: "If you don't let go of me, sir."
, I cut Zhang Feng."
"you..."
What happened just now was too fast. If the third lady held Zhu Hansan hostage and people were stunned, then Zhang Liao's capture of Zhang Feng would have made people unable to turn around. An ordinary person would definitely be worried about Zhu Hansan's safety at this time, but Zhang Liao was
But he did the opposite and captured Zhang Feng and prepared to exchange it with the third lady. After the third lady saw that her father had been captured by Zhang Liao, her mood fluctuated a little, and the dagger in her hand was unsteady, and it was immediately on Zhu Hansan's neck.
A cut was made.
"Third...Miss Third, don't...don't be excited, don't be excited!"
Waves of pain came, and Zhu Hansan was too busy feeling it, and stammered to calm the third lady's emotions.
"Let my father go!"
"You should let my master go first!"
"you..."
"What am I, do you want to let me go? If you don't let me go, I'll kill you!"
"If you dare to chop, I dare to chop too!"
...
Seeing the two of them talking to each other like cockfighting cocks, Zhu Hansan spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I said, can you two sit down and chat?"
"Shut up!"
The third lady tightened the dagger in her hand and threatened: "How about you quickly ask him to let my father go, and then let us leave Jingxian safely. I guarantee that we, father and daughter, will definitely leave Jizhou."
"Wenyuan, how about you let Zhang Feng go first?"
Zhu Hansan had no choice but to hesitate for a while and gave instructions to Zhang Liao.
At this moment, he is a fish and a man, and Zhu Hansan has long lost his high spirits. He is definitely panicking. This is the first time that he has been held hostage like this, and it is also in a life-threatening situation. His heart has long failed to live up to expectations.
The ground was beating violently, and even his speech was stammering.
‘Whoosh!’
'Pfft!'
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot from outside Zhang's house, hitting the third lady's delicate neck. Blood splashed on Zhu Hansan's face. While he was still in a daze, he saw that the third lady had fallen softly.
On the ground, dead on the spot.
"Who did it?"
At this moment, Zhu Hansan really wanted to hug the man and thank him. He quickly turned around and looked dryly outside the door. He saw Zhang Ning, dressed in smart clothes, standing at the door, holding a long bow in one hand and holding it in the other.
The posture of an arrow, but at this moment there was no bow and arrow in her hand.
"I said, you really don't make people worry? It's only been half a month since you took office, and you've already made Jingxian County crazy?"
Zhang Ning jumped up to Zhu Hansan, circled around him, joked, and said with a sweet smile: "What? Are you scared?"
"I've seen Miss!

"
When Li Hu and the swordsmen he brought saw Zhang Ning, they quickly knelt down and shouted respectfully.
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up!"
Zhang Ning waved his hand impatiently, continued to smile at Zhu Hansan and said: "Hey, what are you talking to? Why are you ignoring me? It's a good thing that they came to save you!"
"Ah? How come Miss Zhang appears here?"
Only then did Zhu Hansan come to his senses and said with a smile: "Didn't you leave Jingxian County?"
"You are such a real person!" Zhang Ning frowned beautifully and replied: "I just arrived tonight and have been talking to your mother in Chenxiang Pavilion! No, I learned from the clerk that you are coming to see you.
After Zhang Feng's trouble, I followed him here. I originally planned to watch a show, but unexpectedly, you were actually held hostage?"
It turned out that after Zhang Ning arrived in the city, she wanted to go directly to the county government office to find Zhu Hansan, but was told that he was not there. She had no choice but to go to Chenxiang Pavilion to try her luck. In Chenxiang Pavilion, she met Zhu's mother who was about to return home, and was then arrested.
Mother Zhu kept talking. If Zhang Liao hadn't sent someone to Chenxiang Pavilion to deploy manpower, Zhang Ning wouldn't have known that so many things would happen tonight.
"Oh! She's still a great beauty?" Zhang Ning looked down at the dead third lady as he spoke, then looked strange and teased: "No wonder our Lord Zhu has his own thoughts and was kidnapped by others.
Did the woman disturb your good deeds, Mr. Zhu?"
"No! No! Miss Zhang, you came just in time." These words sounded like jealousy. Li Hu and the others quickly turned their heads, not daring to look at Zhu Hansan. Zhu Hansan was also slightly stunned and said with a bitter smile: "
Thank you very much, Miss Zhang, for your life-saving grace. I am deeply grateful!"
Zhu Hansan wanted to say that he had nothing to offer in return but to pledge himself to her, but as soon as he said the words, he felt something was wrong and quickly changed his words to gratitude.
"You want to thank me?"
When Zhang Ning heard this, his bright eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons, and he said softly: "Then how do you want to thank me?"
This look was like a kitten asking for favors, which made Zhu Hansan blush slightly. He hesitated and replied: "I promise to do something for you. As long as it doesn't violate ethics and morals, and as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line, I will do it."
We will do our best to help.”
After all, he saved his life. Zhu Hansan wanted to repay him no matter what. However, he didn't have as much money as Zhang Ning, nor as many people as Zhang Ning. Not to mention the power, he, the county magistrate, was his second uncle.
After thinking about it, he decided to give Zhang Ning a promise. In his opinion, with so many exquisite skills and advanced models in later generations, Zhu Hansan will definitely have a place in the world like him, even if it is just a simple one.
In business, as long as he is given enough time, he thinks he can compete with the Zhen family in Zhongshan and the Mi family in Xuzhou.
Therefore, in Zhu Hansan's opinion, this promise is absolutely priceless, but now he is a little... well, let's not mention it.
"That's it?" Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, you really are..."
"Um! How about we chat after we finish the things here?"
Zhu Hansan couldn't stand Zhang Ning's resentful eyes and quickly changed the topic.
"Just him? Just kill him!"
Zhang Feng raided their stronghold in Jingxian County. Zhang Ning was extremely disgusted with this person and said nonchalantly: "In order to prevent Mr. Zhu from being embarrassed, Li Hu, you go and do it."
"As you command!"
Li Hu stepped forward with the sword in his hand. Zhang Liao also stepped aside knowingly. He raised the sword and dropped it. Zhang Feng was instantly killed.

Landed.
"Forehead!"
Zhu Hansan swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile: "You! How can you kill Yamen officials without permission?"
"Weren't you just about to kill him? What? After I helped you to get things done, you turned your back on me?" Zhang Ning threw the long bow in his hand to others casually, with his hands on his hips.
She said coquettishly: "I'm telling you, don't be so obedient when you get an advantage. If I hadn't taken action, you would still be begging for mercy in the hands of that little goblin!"
"That's it! All the others are in custody. Tomorrow, Zhicai will sort out the evidence of Zhang Feng's crime and what happened, and then send them to Xindu and report them to the Prime Minister! As for all the people in the Zhang family, they will be detained after the interrogation.
Those who have nothing to do with it will be released, and those who are involved will be detained until the Prime Minister issues an order before making any further calculations."
Zhu Hansan gave a bitter smile and gave instructions to Zhang Liao.
"What should we do with Zhang's property and the land and estates outside the city?"
Zhang Liao asked in a low voice.
"You're stupid! Of course it's confiscated. Send it to the Yamen for inventory and inspection, then pack it and seal it!"
Regarding Zhang Liao's question, Zhang Ning interrupted funnyly.
"Well, let's do it! We've worked hard tonight, especially those valuable items. Remember, remember, don't lose them. I'm telling you, anyone who dares to enrich themselves will be punished with Zhang Feng and be thrown into prison directly!
"
Zhu Hansan deliberately spoke loudly to prevent some people from taking advantage of the wealth and taking it privately.
"As you command!"
Zhang Liao quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"Brother Pei, although Zhang Feng's rebellion has been put to death, he has also brought down all the county soldiers guarding the city. Now there are no soldiers guarding the county. I hope that, brother Pei, you will temporarily take over the post of city gate captain and lead the army first.
How about I ask my brothers to guard Jingxian County for a few days, and then take over the city defense after I reorganize the county troops?"
Zhu Hansan looked at Pei Yuanshao and said sincerely.
Nowadays, Jingxian County is really in trouble. He dared not use the soldiers Zhang Feng led before, but city defense is also a big deal. In addition, he has offended Guo Daxian, so he is even more concerned about city defense.
After much deliberation, the only people who can use it now are Pei Yuanshao and the others.
"As you command!"
Pei Yuanshao happily accepted the order.
"Have everything been explained clearly?" Zhang Ning bent over and looked at Zhu Hansan with his hands behind his back, and said with a sweet smile: "Then I will leave now and come back to play with you tomorrow!"
Zhang Ning left the Zhang Mansion in high spirits, and Li Hu and others also said goodbye.
"It's late at night, sir, please go back and rest first!"
Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Zhang Liao came to Zhu Hansan's side and said softly.
"I'll stay and be responsible for supervision! Wenyuan, send those people to the Yamen and lock them up first, and then we'll ransack their homes!"
Glancing at the huge courtyard, Zhu Hansan felt a little extra excited. This was the mansion of an old family in Jingxian County, but now it has become an ownerless thing. It would be a lie to say that he was not excited.
"Zhu...Master Zhu!"
At this time, a timid voice sounded.
Zhu Hansan heard the sound and looked over, only to see Qiao'er standing there at a loss, her young body still shaking, her hands tightly pulling on her clothes, and her eyes showed an expectant look.
"Wenyuan, take her down for interrogation. If Qiaoer has nothing to do with this matter, let her go! Don't be embarrassed!"
But with Miss Third's lesson learned, Zhu Hansan was still frightened. He gave Zhang Liao instructions and led the people to the back room.
