Chapter 389 Objection

Chapter 389 Objection
On the first night after Liu Zhongzhi's death, Zhang Hongdao went back to his room and slept for more than an hour.

Although the difficulties are in front of him, he no longer dares to waste sleep and eat to do things. The age of 30 is like a threshold for him. After passing, he will obviously feel the decline of energy.

That night seemed to be a nightmare, or maybe an old injury on his body broke out. Zhang Hongdao was sweating, and when he woke up, he found his wife Yan Shu was wiping his forehead.

"What time is it?"

"It's three o'clock at Yin time, it's not yet dawn, the officials can sleep for a while?"

Zhang Hongdao held Yan Shu's hand and shook his head.

"No, there are too many things to do today."

Yan Shu lowered her head and said apologetically: "Yesterday, my concubine was careless and let my elder sister sneak out..."

"I don't blame you. With her cunning, you can't guard against her. Heh, just as my father left and I had to go out in a hurry, she waited to take advantage of this gap and pretended to be ignorant."

"With her vision, she can't easily look down on anyone. Back then, Qiao Ju was so outstanding, but she was still reluctant, and had a lot of trouble with her family. Now that the little girl's family has an affair, who can persuade her?"

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Hongdao frowned, and stood up, only to feel that his body was very heavy.

"Why don't you help the eldest sister? Also let Li Xia from the south be the son-in-law of the Zhang family to help the officials and father."

"A woman's opinion... How do you know his name? The eldest sister told you?"

"I don't know how I am. This year, I have heard officials say this name in my dreams several times..."

"No." Zhang Hongdao snorted, and said, "Don't lie to me, you never care about these things, it would be strange if you weren't coaxed by the elder sister."

Yan Shu didn't dare to hide anymore, and admitted honestly: "Yes, we chatted for a while last night, although she didn't specify what she said, but the meaning is very clear."

"A big girl's family is not ashamed to ask for a promise."

"The concubine feels that what the elder sister said makes sense. What's wrong with such a character, and the elder sister has identified it again? Now that the father is not here, if he is, he may not object. On the contrary, if the officials do not deal with it properly, in case The elder sister really won't marry anyone else in the future, how much the father should blame..."

"This Zhang Wenjing, coaxed you to threaten me, right?" Zhang Hongdao was so angry that he coughed.

Yan Shu quickly patted his back lightly, her eyes became more worried.

"I understand what you mean." Zhang Hongdao stopped coughing, and said, "You don't want me to deal with Li Xia hard, even you think I can't beat him."

"I'm not a concubine..."

"I'm really not as good as him." Zhang Hongdao murmured: "My father said before that Liulang and Jiulang are the most talented, but I was not convinced. I have tried my best to do things for my father to see for many years, but the result is still far inferior to Liulang and Jiulang... People Ah, talent is good or bad, and you can't force it. Li Xia is even more talented than me, so I can only admit it."

"Officials never lose to anyone, I just want to make officials not so tired."

"I know." Zhang Hongdao embraced his wife and sighed: "I disagree with the marriage between the elder sister and Li Xia. It's not that I can't swallow it. Li Xia's character and talent are indeed enough to be the son-in-law of the Zhang family, let alone the elder sister. My son is so kind again. But the time has passed."

"The concubine doesn't understand that a man is talented and a woman is beautiful, isn't it good to have a happy marriage?"

"If last year I knew what my elder sister was thinking, I would also like to have this marriage. But now it is different. Li Xia has killed Wulianghetai and Adahu, and has become the enemy of Mongolia. The Khan court wishes to kill him Come on, how dare the Zhang family let him be their son-in-law?"

Yan Shu was stunned.

She heard what Zhang Wenjing said last night, and she thought it made a lot of sense.After hearing what Zhang Hongdao said today, she felt that her husband was more right.

Zhang Hongdao said with a wry smile: "What 'father may not object' is what my elder sister lied to you, deceiving you to be soft and kind, and let you come to blow the pillow. If this matter is so trivial, why didn't she dare to tell me directly? Father yesterday Why didn't she say it before the expedition?"

"This... why is eldest sister so bold, isn't she afraid of pushing the whole family into the fire pit?"

"She's lost her head..."

~~
Zhang Hongdao was still thinking about the conversation he had with his wife in the morning when he left the Military and Civilian Wanhu Mansion.

He knew that Zhang Wenjing would not push the Zhang family into a pit of fire, but she definitely wanted to marry Li Xia... She was testing, testing his attitude on this matter.

If his attitude is a little loose, Zhang Wenjing will force him to find a way to facilitate this marriage.

There are ways, such as asking Li Xia to change his name, but even so, the Zhang family still has to bear huge risks.

Li Xia is not worth it.

Zhang Hongdao has been thinking deeply about what Jingxuan said about "compromising with Li Xia".

After much deliberation, the only way to solve the problem is to kill Li Xia.

The gate of the city has been closed, and news of Liu Zhongzhi will not be released for a few days.As long as you hold Li Xia, you can push everything on his head, Han Ting can believe it.

Because Li Xia's head is worth it.

Everyone thought it was impossible to do this, but Zhang Hongdao still wanted to try one last time. Zhang Rou gave him five days, and now there are three days left...

~~
"He eats carefully. Look at me...he chews carefully like this, and swallows it after chewing. He never drinks raw water. He has to boil the water to drink when he is thirsty. It’s not afraid of being hot. It’s more eye-catching when you walk, it’s so much taller than me... I’m afraid it’s still growing, it needs to be this tall and straight..."

A short man was talking endlessly to a row of soldiers.

He tried his best to straighten his body and put on a magnanimous expression, but he still couldn't achieve the desired appearance, so he scratched his head anxiously.

"Scholar Lin is here, Shusheng Lin, come and give them a walk, always say that I don't look like..."

"Okay. I only met him once, that was when he was called 'Yang Shen'. He has a habit worth noting. He looks into the other person's eyes when he speaks..."

Zhang Hongdao stood there watching for a while, then ordered: "Call Bai Mao over."

"Yes."

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and shouted at the short man: "Bai Mao, Wu Lang ordered you to go over."

……

"The villain has seen Wulang." Bai Mao ran in front of Zhang Hongdao, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and got up again.

Zhang Hongdao was displeased, and said: "I said, don't do this again. Delay things."

Bai Mao quickly apologized with a smile and said: "The villain dare not delay, he can get up quickly without delay."

"Bring a bad vibe."

"Yes, I won't dare next time, the villain is loyal to Goro, I can't help but want to kneel to Goro..."

Bai Mao bent extremely low, wishing he could tuck his waist into Zhang Hongdao's crotch, his eyes were full of reverence.

It's not without reason for him to act like this... After failing to frame Li Xia in Lin'an City last year, Bai Mao was thrown into prison and should have been exiled to Qiongzhou.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hongdao asked someone to rescue him.He was even sent north with his old mother.

Those next to Bai Mao didn't know, but they knew that his case was handled by the Right Minister of the Song Dynasty.How big an official must be to be able to get people in such a big case?
He also vaguely heard that there was a "secret pavilion" in the official name of that person, which was very bluffing.

Zhang Wulang was willing to use such a well-buried secret work among the high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, but it was only for Bai Mao, a small person who couldn't handle a single thing well, and Bai Mao couldn't help but feel apprehensive and panic.

He himself thinks he is not worth it.

……

For Zhang Hongdao, it was not difficult for Liu Mengyan to send Bai Mao to the north.

As for why do you want to do this?Apart from wanting to know Li Xia better, there was another reason in his heart that he didn't realize.

The people around Li Xia defected to Zhang Hongdao... This made him feel an inexplicable satisfaction.

"Talk while walking, and tell me about Li Xia again, everything." Zhang Hongdao's tone was very cold, and he had already walked a few steps while talking.

Bai Mao hurriedly followed, and said, "The villain saw Li Xia for the first time when he was in Qiantang County Prison..."

He had said this many times, but every time Zhang Hongdao asked him to recall something new, and he couldn't make it up, which made people feel quite embarrassed.

"...after he suspended animation and woke up..."

"Wait." Zhang Hongdao stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "I remember the first time you said he was dead?"

"It's a fake death. Goro is right. It's impossible for a person to come back from the dead. It's just a fake death."

"Why did you think he was dead then?"

"The villain is here, there is no breath, the corpse... no, the body has started to get cold..." Bai Mao's eyes were faintly frightened.

Zhang Hongdao shook his head, still in disbelief, and said lightly: "Go on, did he tell you why he was imprisoned at that time?"

"No."

"Has he mentioned Tang An'an?"

"No, the villain is sure, I haven't mentioned it once."

Zhang Hongdao asked again: "If it is said that he is going to get married, who do you think he will marry?"

"Ah? If it was one of the two young ladies who were traveling together, he would definitely marry the Gao family girl, but it's not certain, the little girl is even more clinging to him..."
