Chapter 89 Return to Dagou Town

three days later.

Dagou Town Taoist Temple.

"Master!"

Zhang Heng pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Xu Zhenzhen sitting on the futon meditating, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Aheng!"

When Xu Zhenren heard the call, he immediately stood up from the futon: "When did you come back?"

"As soon as I got off the bus, I came to greet you immediately."

Zhang Heng looked up and down at Zhenren Xu: "Master, you seem to have gained weight."

"Master, you also know that I am your master."

"After more than half a year, I don't know how to send more telegrams on weekdays, so I'll just call you Master."

After the initial joy, Xu Zhenren immediately turned on the majesty mode.

It's a pity that Zhang Heng is not a literary talent. Master's majesty is useless to him. He laughed and said, "Master, you have really gained a lot of weight. From the back view just now, I thought it was my uncle."

"Bullshit."

Real Xu knew that he couldn't scare Zhang Heng, so he no longer had a sullen face: "But it's true that I have gained a little weight recently. By the way, you wait here first, and I'll call two people to meet you."

"Who is it?"

Zhang Heng asked a question, but Zhenren Xu didn't answer.

"Mysterious and mysterious."

Zhang Heng didn't care about him either. He first put incense sticks on the patriarch, and then added lamp oil to the ever-bright lamps in the Taoist temple.

Busy and busy, suddenly a sense of crisis poured out of my heart.

The next second, Zhang Heng turned sideways without thinking, and pointed backwards at the same time.

"Ouch!"

A figure flew out and fell to the ground.

Zhang Heng looked at him, and his face was quite familiar. Isn't this Qian Jiale.

"How did you do it, didn't you mean to introduce someone to you, what did you beat him for?"

Xu Zhenren also came back, with a girl by his side: "This is your junior brother Jia Le, he is the disciple of your four-eyed uncle, and he started earlier than you, but he has not officially apprenticed, so he is your junior brother. ."

After he finished speaking, he introduced the girl next to him: "this is Qingqing, the disciple of Master Yixiu next door to your Shimu Shishu. After I accompany your Shimu Shishu to transport the corpse back, your Shimu Shishu asked me to bring them out. Turn around and gain insight."

After the introduction, Xu Zhenzhen helped Jia Le up: "Jia Le, are you alright?"

"fine."

Jia Le insisted and said.

After he finished speaking, he took off his clothes and saw that there were two obvious fingerprints on his heart.

"This scoundrel, his skill has risen again."

Xu Zhenren glanced at him and said to Jia Le, "You come early. If this happens in a few years, I'll have to kill you with one finger."

"It's too scary to point to death, isn't it?"

Jia Le rubbed his fingerprints with a look of grievance: "Senior, didn't you say that Senior Brother just started practicing Taoism not long ago?"

"It's not too long, it's less than a year after the full count."

A trace of pride flashed in Xu Zhenren's eyes, and then he warned: "Your senior brother has a special status, and you can't make such jokes with him in the future."

"I dare not."

Jia Le eats one cut and grows one's wisdom, and introduces himself to Zhang Heng: "Senior brother, I am Jia Le, and my master is the four-eyed Taoist priest. You can call me Ah Le."

Zhang Heng frowned slightly.

He clearly felt the crisis just now, but with Jia Le's strength, he shouldn't have a sense of crisis.

"Senior brother, my name is Qingqing, and my master is Master Yixiu of Guangji Temple."

Qingqing puts her hands together towards Zhang Heng.

"Ah."

Zhang Heng nodded, no longer thinking about what happened just now.

"Ah Heng, how are you dealing with Rongcheng?"

Xu Zhen couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's all done over there. Uncle Ninth will be in Rongcheng, and he shouldn't return to Wuhua in the future."

"By the way, Uncle Zhaixing is also in Rongcheng now. He is here for Yue Qiluo's business."

Zhang Heng talked about the matter here, and then asked Zhenren Xu, "Master, did you and Uncle Qianhe go well to transport the corpse?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenren Xu smiled: "Fortunately, I followed this time. Your uncle Qianhe met Lei Da's coffin on the way to transport the corpse, and the thing inside was directly deceived. It was very dangerous at the time."

"Fortunately, I didn't give your master for nothing. I directly used the bodies of two royal guards to invite the two generals of Heng Ha, and after a fight, I cut them to the sword."

As soon as Zhang Heng heard it, the plot really changed.

But it got better. Uncle Qianhe himself has a very good relationship with Xu Zhenren. In addition to this life-saving grace, this time, the entire corpse-hunting line must remember Xu Zhenren's favor.

"Ah Heng, wait until the end of the year, take the time to come back to Maoshan with me."

"Let's ask the master of the temple, that is, your uncle Ziyan Zhenren, who wants to see you, and by the way, I will also take you to meet the elders, and then give your ancestor a pillar of incense."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Heng responded with a full mouth.

"Okay, you just came back today, there must be a lot of things going on."

"You go to work first. If you are not busy tomorrow, you will come to Taoist Temple for dinner."

Xu Zhenzhen is very open-minded.

He knew that Zhang Heng was not only his apprentice, but also the backbone of the Zhang family in Dagou Town.

When he comes back, he must have a lot of things to do, and he needs to support him as a master.

"Thank you, Master."

Zhang Heng saluted, and then said to Jia Le and Qingqing, who came to be guests, "Senior brother has a lot of things to do today. When tomorrow is free, senior brother will take you out for a walk."

"Thank you, brother."

Jia Le and Qingqing are very happy.

Zhang House.

"Master is back, Master is back."

Seeing Zhang Heng coming back, everyone cheered.

The porter even trotted all the way to the middle and backyard: "Everyone is coming out soon, the master is back."

Zhang Heng looked up.

Seeing him, the big guy is just like the Chinese New Year, not to mention how happy he is.

That look.

Zhang Heng had raised a golden retriever before. This metaphor may not be appropriate, but the eyes of everyone looking at him are really the same as the golden retriever, and their eyes are full of joy.

"Okay, everything is fine!"

Zhang Heng greeted everyone with a smile.

"master!"

Just a few steps away, the old housekeeper came out with Grandma Sun and a group of little maids.

The old housekeeper and the grandmother Sun are okay, and they are mature and prudent.

The four little girls couldn't do it anymore. As soon as they saw him, they cried instantly, crying and jumping up one by one: "Master, why did you come back? We miss you so much."

"Oh, I haven't seen you for half a year, I've grown up a lot."

Zhang Heng let a group of little girls hug him, and he was very happy: "Especially Yuyu, has a small head?"

Look down.

Maybe the nutrients have been supplied to the height, and other places are still the same, and there is no improvement.

"Hey, what's wrong with your face?"

Zhang Heng raised Yuyu's little face and found that there were three fingerprints on her left cheek, and her face suddenly gloomy: "Who beat it?"

An Yuyu said aggrievedly: "It's my dad."

"Your father?"

Zhang Heng frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

"My grandmother and I work in the house, and he comes to us every now and then to ask for money."

"I came to ask for money again this morning. I didn't have any money for him, so he slapped me."

An Yuyu didn't cry when he was beaten, but he was swept away by Zhang Heng's eyes, and immediately felt wronged, tears fell down: "He goes to gamble, and every time he loses, my grandma and I will pay all the wages. He's gone, but it's still not enough for him to lose."

"Oh, my poor little one."

Zhang Heng wiped the tears from Yuyu's face, hugged her in his arms and comforted her: "It's okay, Master will handle it."

"Patriarch."

After a few words, Zhang Zhentian also arrived.

He stepped forward excitedly, not knowing where to put his hands: "You are finally back, you are not here, I am not at ease."

"What's wrong, I'll send you a telegram every three or five minutes."

Zhang Heng released An Yuyu, and while walking, he motioned Zhang Zhentian to follow: "The sky in Dagou Town cannot collapse."

In the living room, the two sat down.

Zhang Zhentian is only next to one side of the chair, and he doesn't dare to sit down at all: "You are our god, and if you are not here, how can we have the backbone."

"Haha."

Zhang Heng laughed, and then asked about the gentry: "Those gentry who refuse to sell grain to us, have you dealt with them?"

"It's done."

Zhang Zhentian whispered: "Just a gentleman with a head and a face, four were hanged by Zhenhu, and one was scared to death. After killing chickens and showing monkeys, now they are all honest."

"Ah."

Zhang Heng nodded: "Looking back, I plan to appoint Zhen Hu as the commander of the First Division of South China, and transfer him to Zhang Jinzhong's Hainan First Division to guard Hainan and let Zhang Jinzhong station troops in Yangjiang. What do you think?"

Zhang Zhentian hesitated: "Zhenhu's loyalty is no problem, but this piece is loyal"

Carefully glanced at Zhang Heng: "He hasn't been following you for a long time. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to be transferred to Yangjiang?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "You are confused again. Although Zhang Jinzhong's surname is Zhang and he is a division commander, he is not Zhang's family, but his officers and guards. What do you think he can do?"

"Furthermore, I believe that Zhang Jinzhong is a very reliable general. I have the grace to know him, and now his family is also in Dagou Town. Even if he is captured, the other party asks him to scold me, and he will cut him if he doesn't scold him. His head, he will stretch his neck to let the other side chop, don't say a bad word about me, do you believe it?"

Zhang Zhentian opened his mouth, not understanding where Zhang Heng's trust in Zhang Jinzhong came from.

After all, Zhang Jinzhong didn't take refuge for a long time after seeing people's hearts over time.

"Since you are confident, let him have a look first, and there will be no waves left and right."

Zhang Zhentian said nothing more.

"Patriarch."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Zhenhu also came back.

"Tiger."

Zhang Heng pointed to the chair next to him and asked, "Do you want to be the commander of the South China First Division?"

"Patriarch, do you want to appoint me as the teacher?"

Zhang Zhenhu looked surprised.

Zhang Heng didn't answer this, but continued: "Just say whether you want it or not."

"Thinking, dreaming about it."

Zhang Zhenhu was overjoyed: "You won't lie to me, will you?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

In front of Zhang Zhenhu, Zhang Heng put on another rhetoric: "Zhang Jinzhong's Dagou Town Guard Corps, you know?"

"He made great contributions in the battle against Hainan. I said before the war that whoever deserves the most credit, I will appoint whoever is the commander of the Hainan First Division."

"Now his credit is the greatest. I can't make a blunder. However, I don't trust him. I'm worried that putting him in Hainan will cause trouble. I want to bring him under my nose and watch him."

"However, if he is transferred, Hainan will be empty of defense, and I can't trust other people."

"So I'm going to appoint you as the commander of the South China First Division. You go to replace him and avoid the limelight by the way."

Zhang Zhenhu can understand the previous words, but the last sentence is a little confused.

"Avoid the limelight?"

"Why are you avoiding the limelight?"

Zhang Zhenhu had a question mark on his face.

"You forgot, you hanged several local squires."

"When I wasn't there, they didn't dare to show their faces."

"Now that I'm back, do you think they won't beat the drums to complain?"

"When the time comes, if I help them, I will hit your board, and I will help you, and I will divorce these squires."

"So the best way is for you to transfer to Hainan and let the tide subside, so that I can have an explanation to the outside world."

Zhang Heng pointed at Zhang Zhenhu: "Don't feel wronged, those hanged ghosts are more wrong than you, killing people is just a no-brainer. If you insist on hanging people, do you think you are a bandit?"

Zhang Zhenhu quickly confessed: "Patriarch, I didn't think so much at the time."

"Go to Hainan, hone your mind, read more military books, and then go to practice."

Zhang Heng said in a low voice: "Life is very long, you have been too smooth during this time, this is not good."

"Yes, patriarch."

Zhang Zhenhu stood at attention and saluted: "I will resolutely obey the order."

"Okay, let's go, you can recruit troops as soon as your food and wages arrive."

"I'll give you ten regiments with an establishment of 5000 people."

"Recruit people fiercely. If enough people are recruited, go to Hainan for me, and I will transfer you back in a year or two."

Zhang Heng waved his hand and said, "Go away."

"Yes, patriarch."

Zhang Zhenhu ran away in surprise and joy.

After Zhang Zhenhu left, Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Zhentian again: "In terms of money, you negotiate with Long Nanguang from Rongcheng. If it's not enough, then tell me."

"Yes, patriarch."

Zhang Zhentian said, "I'll go back and make a budget first."

"Well, let's go."

Zhang Heng nodded slightly.

This time.

The most important thing was settled, Zhang Heng glanced at An Yuyu who was standing beside him.

"Go down and wash your face, you're crying like a cat with a face."

Zhang Heng took An Yuyu away.

After she went out, Zhang Heng beckoned to the old housekeeper: "Send someone to go to Yangjiang County, pick me up from Yashang from Yaxing, and say that I have something to ask her to do."

"Good sir."

The old butler had to go.

at dusk.

Granny was brought back.

Granny Ya can remember Zhang Heng really, she always wanted to come, but there was no chance.

As soon as he entered the gate of Zhang's residence, his desire to perform instantly exploded, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted in a sharp, mean voice: "Hey, my eldest master, look at your big mansion, under the sun. The blessings, but you have enjoyed it all!"

Zhang Heng sat on the Taishi chair.

Seeing the old lady coming in, she smiled playfully and waved, "You old troll, your mouth is quite sweet, sir, I have an errand for you to do, well done."

Hooking his fingers, the old butler came up with a red cloth plate on which was placed two oceans wrapped in red paper.

"These are yours."

The matchmaker took a closer look and found that the two letters from Dayang cost at least 50 yuan, which was enough to buy a cow.

"Master, if you have something to do, just tell me. I'll do it for you if I can. If I can't, ask grandpa to tell grandma, and I have to keep an eye on you. In a word, I won't let you down."

Toothless said with a flattering face.

"It's not that difficult."

Holding a small teapot in his hand, Zhang Heng squinted and said, "The gambler who sold An Yuyu to you, do you still have an impression?"

Hearing this, Granny Ya's eyes flashed fiercely: "The old beast has caused you trouble?"

She bought An Yuyu from a rotten gambler. When she bought someone, she had an agreement, and the girl who sold it would not be her own.

If you see your daughter enjoying the blessing, you will not be reconciled and want to come to the house to make trouble.

If others don't say it, Yama won't agree.

Otherwise, everyone will follow suit, sell it and find it back, and she doesn't have to do this business.

"Cause trouble?"

Zhang Heng smiled: "I'm still waiting for him to make trouble with me?"

Granny Ya's eyes turned, with a shrewd look: "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Zhang Heng asked playfully.

Granny Ya gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly: "I heard that there are foreigners in Shanfo who will recruit people to build railways overseas. I think that bad gambler will definitely be willing to go."

Willing to fuck.

Whoever has enough to eat is willing to go overseas to build railways for others. I don’t know if this trip will never come back for a lifetime.

But Granny said that the rotten gambler is willing, so there must be a willing way.

Whether it's a pit or a lie, Zhang Heng didn't want to ask, and whispered, "Just do what you want."
