"Isn't that Zhan Zhuli?!" Zhang Ning happened to see a familiar figure appear at the door of the government office in front of the window of the inn, and couldn't help being stunned.
He arranged so many things, and his only purpose was to catch Zhan Zhuli. It was not difficult to deal with Wu Yong, but as long as Zhan Zhuli ran away, it would be useless to catch Wu Yong; so Zhang Ning tried every means to capture and release them. space, leading Zhan Zhuli out of the cave. Unexpectedly, this person appeared in front of his eyes for some reason. What were Lao Xu's people doing?
Just as he was about to ask Peach Blossom Fairy to ask Lao Xu, Lao Xu came to the inn soon. He explained: "Our people have been keeping a careful eye on them. The place where Wu Yong and Zhan Zhuli met should be in the area east of the dyeing workshop." , so I asked people to keep an eye on several openings, waiting for Zhan Zhuli to appear. Unexpectedly, when Wu Yong came out, Zhan Zhuli was not there. He either ran away from the roof or got into a dog hole somewhere! Just now We just saw him at the gate of the Yamen. We had no time to catch him and he went into the Yamen... I hurried up to find my boss, what should I do now?"
"Why did Zhan Zhuli come into the Yamen... He jumped over the wall to expose me?" Zhang Ning took a few steps and asked again, "Where is Wu Yong?"
Zhan Zhuli said: "We are leaving the city. I asked Wenjun to follow. Wu Yong is easy to deal with and cannot escape. As long as the boss gives the order and sends people to catch up with Wenjun at short notice, Wu Yong can be captured."
"Ignore Wu Yong for now, let's go down directly and wait at the Yamen Hotel." Zhang Ning thought for a while and said.
Fairy Peach Blossom kindly reminded: "If Zhan Zhuli reports to the government, wouldn't you just throw yourself into a trap if you go to the hotel next to the Yamen?"
"I know you are afraid of the government." Zhang Ning said, "But I am not afraid, because I am an official to begin with, and the local government has no power to restrict the censor; otherwise, as long as someone makes a false accusation without any basis, the local government will detain him. Censor? I guess the magistrate will come to tell you about this later and discuss it with me."
Peach Blossom Fairy was doubtful, so a few people swaggered to the hotel next to the government office to stay.
As expected, within half an hour, someone came to ask where Mr. Zhang was. Then the prefect came to the hotel in person, and Zhang Ning put on a warm smile to welcome him in.
The prefect is a middle-aged man, who behaves skillfully and naturally in the rules of appearance and etiquette, and has rich experience in officialdom. After exchanging polite greetings, the prefect glanced sideways at Zhang Ning's entourage. Zhang Ning understood, and stretched out his hand to make a peach blossom gesture. Xianzi and Lao Xu exited the room.
At this time, the prefect asked calmly: "Mr. Zhang has a follower named Zhan Zhuli?"
Zhang Ning nodded: "There is such a person, why did he cause trouble to the prefect again? This person is my subordinate, but he is definitely not my follower. He is a bit ignorant of the rules. Please don't argue with him, prefect; Last time in the capital, he even offended Mr. Yang..."
When the prefect heard the words Master Yang, his eyelids jumped slightly. Before that, the prefect asked the master and learned that Zhang Ning was a member of Yang Shiqi, a popular figure in the court.
He immediately took out an unopened letter from his sleeve: "Then Zhan Zhuli has caused trouble for Zhang Shijun this time. He said that the envelope contains your charges. If you hand the stuff to the Yamen, you can bring me I was stumped, and it didn’t matter whether I wanted to accept it or not. Later, Li Mubin (Master) said a few words, and I finally understood. Zhan Zhuli is Zhang Shijun’s man, and whatever happens is not our responsibility. It is only appropriate to leave the things to Commander Zhang for disposal."
Zhang Ning naturally did not refuse and hurriedly accepted the envelope and said, "Your Majesty, I will never forget this favor."
"It's true that words are spoken emphatically," the prefect said nicely.
Zhang Ning said: "You are really helpful. If Master Yang finds out about this thing, I will have to get scolded again. What did Zhan Zhuli say to you?"
The magistrate opened his mouth and said seriously: "I didn't say anything. He didn't say anything. He didn't write it down in a letter. I didn't even close the envelope, and I don't know what he wanted. This kind of subordinate sues the superior.
This matter is not within the jurisdiction of the Changde government, so I have no control over it!"
Zhang Ning smiled and asked, "Where is Zhan Zhuli?"
The magistrate said: "I asked someone to look at him. He is Zhang Shijun's man, so he will naturally be handed over to you."
So Zhang Ning directly asked the prefect to hand the person over to him. The group entered the yamen. The moment Zhan Zhuli saw Zhang Ning, his face turned dark. He turned to stare at the prefect and slurred his words in excitement:
"You... you are a foolish official, do you want to join in the chaos?"
The magistrate lowered his face, as if to say: If I don't join in the same trend with my colleagues, how can I stand out from my colleagues?
Zhang Ning shouted: "You little guy who doesn't understand the rules dares to insult the chief of the government. Come on, slap me!"
Fairy Peach Blossom stepped forward, and without saying a word, she hit Zhan Zhuli on the neck with her palm, knocking him unconscious. When Zhang Ning saw this, he praised Fairy Peach Blossom for being a smart person, and he would not be confused if he fainted now.
He spoke, and it was easy to catch him.
Zhang Ning ordered a felt cart to be sent to the yamen and carried the unconscious Zhan Zhuli onto the carriage. As soon as the cart left the yamen, he and Lao Xu and others immediately tied up Zhan Zhuli and gagged him. Then he sent
The Peach Blossom Fairy left the city and quickly chased Xu Wenjun, asking them to catch Wu Yong together.
After the order was given, Lao Xu looked at Zhan Zhuli who was tied like a rice dumpling and asked: "What will the boss do with him?"
How to deal with it? A word flashed in Zhang Ning's mind: kill and silence.
He had already considered such an outcome when he attacked Wu Yong and the other two. He tried every means to catch them in order to prevent them from spreading the news to the capital. In order to eliminate this consequence, what else could he do besides silence them?
manage?
But when the matter came to pass, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, this killing was completely different from the killing of Peng Tianheng in Peach Blossom Villa. Peng Tianheng was a wanted criminal by the court, and killing him would not be punished by law; while Wu Yong and Zhan Zhuli had legal
For people with high status, killing them is a crime. It is a serious crime of human life. As long as you are held accountable, you will have to pay with your life. Peng Tianheng is not a good person. He has done many evil things and deserves to die. Wu Yong and Zhan Zhuli are not serious evildoers. At most, they are greedy for money and do it for the court.
They do some disgraceful things, but they are not evil people who do all kinds of evil. Comparing the two sides, they are completely different.
Zhang Ning had killed someone before. At that time, apart from being nervous and unfamiliar with his techniques, he didn't suffer much stimulation. But this time, he became nervous before he started killing... In fact, killing in anger is the easiest thing, and killing is not that difficult.
, the main reason why it is difficult to take action is just to worry about the consequences. Normal people will find it difficult to feel at ease once a murder case is committed, because they don’t know when the incident will occur and they will be liquidated. Human life is at stake, and it is difficult to forget it.
Of course, there are also people whose murder cases have not been sanctioned, and there are also people who have been hiding for many years and are unlucky enough to be liquidated one day; more often than not, they live in fear, and their hearts tremble with fear when they hear the siren of a police car.
"Don't bring people back to Yuanshui Tea Garden." Zhang Ning said in a deep voice, without directly answering Xu Guangxu's question.
Although his thoughts were chaotic, he was still able to arrange things in an orderly manner, thinking that he should try to eliminate traces now without any signs of panic. Suddenly, he felt that he was originally very cold-blooded, even though he had been cold-blooded in both lives.
Be a kind-hearted ordinary person.
Xu Guanghao asked again: "Then where should we drive to now?"
Zhang Ning thought for a while and said: "Leave the city. Ask the horseman to go back first, and I will drive the car. Keep an eye on Zhan Zhuli and don't let him get into trouble."
At this moment, the carriage stopped. The coachman in front knocked on the wooden board and said, "Sir, someone has been sent from the tea garden." After a while, someone spoke again outside. After some words, Zhang Ning understood the situation.
.Fang Ling sent someone to find Zhang Ning, saying that he had something to see and asked him to go back first.
He thought in his heart that Fang Ling and Fairy Peach Blossom were both insiders about the whole matter. Since Fang Ling knew that she was dealing with important matters, she still sent someone here at this time, which meant that it was not a trivial matter for her.
Zhang Ning then said to Xu Guanghao: "It's better to let the horseman drive out of the city first, and then send the horseman away. Look after the people. If anything happens, just... forget it, nothing will happen. Changde Mansion is now
No one is against us."
After that, he went back to Yuanshui Tea Garden with the people who came, and went straight back to the other courtyard in the backyard of the garden to see Fang Ling.
I saw a woman wearing a silk hat in Fang Ling's room. She also wore a wide hat in the room. She probably didn't want others to see her face. Zhang Ning glanced at the woman, and Fang Ling said: "
A messenger sent by the General Altar."
The messenger then bent down and saluted: "I have met Mr. Zhang, and my subordinates have made a special trip to deliver a letter under the order of the leader. Since the letter is written by the leader himself, I can only hand it into the hands of Mr. Zhang personally to ensure that it is safe."
Zhang Ning received the letter and saw that the lacquer seal had not been opened, so he opened it with a knife and took out the letter. Seeing this, the messenger didn't say much and left to wait.
Lines of beautiful fonts came into view, but Zhang Ning felt heavy at this time and couldn't be happy about what he had always wanted to see. He browsed through it quickly and knew all the characters in Chinese characters, but he couldn't understand the content.
, then turned to Fang Ling and said: "Is there a code word for the anti-evil cult?"
Fang Ling nodded: "Both Fairy Peach Blossom and I can understand it. Since it is a letter written in code, can you give it to me to read?"
Zhang Ning then handed it over generously, and Fang Ling got a pen and paper and started writing on the paper again. Zhang Ning had to look at Fang Ling's handwriting and compare it with the coded content.
He was originally feeling heavy and worried, but after reading the letter, he felt even more complicated. In the letter, Yao Ji told what happened on the day she received Emperor Jianwen. Prince Wenkui was supposed to be instigated by Queen Ma, who poisoned himself and then framed him.
It happened to Yao Ji, causing Emperor Jianwen to leave in anger. The consequences may be very detrimental to Yao Ji. After Emperor Jianwen returns, he may order to take back the power of the leader and isolate her from the anti-evil cult.
At this time, apart from worry, Zhang Ning actually felt a little happy: Since that happened, it would be impossible for Yao Ji to go to bed that day.
