Chapter 116: Whale Slaying (8)

After Zuoyou left, Zhang Xing sat facing the rain curtain for a long time to suppress his urge to use the compass again.

This is not because he is worried about the backlash of the compass. Now that he has become more and more aware of the dangers of the compass, because he has turned dangers to safety again and again, he is proving a truth, that is, as long as he can The two inscriptions on the compass are also self-improvement and virtue, and you have no regrets for others and yourself, then the negative impact of the compass will eventually disappear.

However, if you think about it with your feet, it doesn't mean that he can abuse this level of treasure, especially when it comes to the current predicament. After Zuo You's visit, Zhang Baishou seems to be able to use direct actions, temptations and thinking. To determine the truth of the matter.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xing finally suppressed the idea of ​​taking a shortcut. On the contrary, a simple and bold plan suddenly came to his mind.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sanlang turned around and walked downstairs, and called Xiao Zhou: "Go and call Boss Zuo, and check by the way, besides Li Zida and others, is there any conspicuous person who has come into contact with them two recently? "

This order was aboveboard and in line with common sense, Zhou Xingfan immediately nodded in response, and then went to carry out the order.

After a while, Young Master Zhou brought him here, but he was surprised to find that his own Baishou was not there. After asking a little, he found out that this Baishou also went downstairs when he went to bring him, as if temporarily What happened again.

Of course this is nothing, Zhou Xingfan didn’t think there was anything wrong with asking Boss Zuo to wait for Third Brother Zhang, and he didn’t think he didn’t need to continue to perform the task—so the two stood and sat down, and waited in the attic .

The spring rain outside is getting denser, gradually gaining a bit of momentum, the haggard-looking Boss Zuo was still silently waiting for the meeting, but as this dry waiting continued, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly became Uneasy, and more and more uneasy.

But when he turned his head and saw Zhou Xingfan standing with his sword in hand, the former leader of the largest gang on the Huaihe River seemed a little helpless and powerless.

Boss Zuo knew that this young man was the youngest son of Zhou Xiaoming, and Zhou Xiaoming, who had been the deputy general manager of Xuzhou for several years, was a real big man out of reach for people on Jianghuai Road... That Zhang Sanlang was a top man Not bad, but it went so smoothly, no doubt because of the response of the noble lady of the Bai family in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. It is here that the local Jianghuai tycoons were able to quickly subdue and control it, and it is obviously due to the little Mr. Zhou's credit. .

I don't know how long it took, but after looking back again and again, I finally heard footsteps on the stairs.And Zhang Baishou, who missed the appointment, also appeared in the attic with his whole body wet.

Boss Zuo didn't get up, nor did he salute, but just stared blankly at the other party, and when he noticed the obvious water stains on the other party's body, he gasped for no reason.

Zhang Xing sat down calmly, looked at each other across the table for a moment, and then spoke slowly:
"Li Zida was lured away by my people, and then Zuo You also came. What he said was very interesting. It probably said that the second son of Zuo could abandon you two and the foundation of the Zuo clan... At this time, I thought , The situation has been completely grasped by me, Boss Zuo, you have been pushed to a dead end by me, it is time to have a showdown with you, Boss Zuo, and make a final deal with you according to our gentleman's agreement that day, you keep what you want most Yes, I'll take what I want the most... But when I asked Xiao Zhou to call you just now, I suddenly thought, instead of making a deal with you, why not make a deal with Zuo Sanye? Then I just avoided You guys, go to see Third Master Zuo in the rain."

Zuo Caihou, who was already struggling, immediately lowered his head when he heard the last sentence, and then supported his forehead almost collapsed...Not far behind, Zhou Xingfan was also in a daze.

"Boss Zuo, I don't know if you believe it or not. After your third son told me the truth, I stayed for a full ten breaths before I could catch my breath." Zhang Xing laughed. "You said, who would have thought that things would be like this? Even if I just met Zuo You... I... and Zuo Jia Erlang, who shocked Jianghuai, even, unexpectedly... I don't know what words to use... Zuo You Boss, what word should I use?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xing shook his head again and again, but looked at the rain outside the attic.

Zuo Caihou shook his head in response, completely frustrated: "Now that things have come to an end, why bother with words?"

After Zhang Xing heard this, he just turned his head: "You brothers have deceived the people of the world for so many years, and have cheated such a large foundation, even with the help of Dongyi people, it is really absurd."

"There are a lot of ridiculous things in the world." Boss Zuo suddenly raised his head, his face turned pale. "Isn't it absurd that the two expeditions to Dongyi were all defeated and returned? Isn't it absurd that a family of generals, armed with heavy soldiers, let the bandits live for several years outside the barracks? Isn't it absurd that the name of Bai's daughter easily overthrew the bandits, generals, and gangs in Huanshui?! Why do you call our brothers absurd?!"

"You still have the nerve to talk about Mangdangshan and Chen Ling?" After waiting for a while, Zhang Xingfang sneered when he saw that the other party didn't continue. "I didn't have time to ask Zuo Laosan about the matter of Mangdang Mountain, but no matter what, didn't you provoke it first? Did the Dongyi people ask you to do it? Or are you guilty and want to build your own power? But it doesn't matter. How, isn't it all your own absurdity to the extreme who took the initiative to provoke us? If you didn't do such stupid things, how could it fall apart today?"

Boss Zuo was at a loss for words.

"So, is this the decision of the Dongyi people or your own family?" Zhang Xing urged. "I'm really curious about this. The main reason is that Zuo You didn't stay to help Mangdang Mountain. With his cultivation..."

"Of course it's what the Dongyi people mean." Boss Zuo sighed. "As for why Zuo You didn't stay, it was because his eyes were higher than the top. After noticing Chen Ling's treacherous thoughts, he wanted to pull Zhong away from Mrs. Chen to go into the water. As a result, Mrs. Chen also looked down on Dong Yi, so he was directly rejected."

Zhang Xing recalled the scene at that time, nodded his head, but asked again: "Actually, I still don't understand a little bit, I know Zuo Sanye is destined to understand, so I didn't ask him, and I ask Boss Zuo to explain my doubts for me... You said that Chen Ling knew how to reject the Dongyi people, and your Zuo boss is also a character, why was he flattened and rounded by the Dongyi people like this? I looked at the accounts, and the Huan Shuikou business was allocated to your Zuo family's profit market, which was ample. Half of them have been transferred to the East China Sea... This is too obvious!"

"The gang was built with the help of others, how can I resist?" Boss Zuo was impatient to the extreme.

"I don't mean that, I mean, what kind of bastard did you do to insist on receiving such heavy favors from the Dongyi people and making the situation so big?" Zhang Xing asked sincerely. "The Long Whale Gang has such a big foundation here. The first two conquests against Dongyi were quick defeats, and you escaped, but in fact, don't you know it in your heart? If you delay a little, you will definitely want to kill Xuzhou later. Xiang Dajun's food...and you have seen Yang Shen's fate...so don't you know that, on the surface, you have received this kind of favor and built up such a big foundation, but in fact you are doomed to get nothing? Doomed to destroy the Zuo family's foundation for several generations?"

"Why can it be? Isn't it just unwilling to be reconciled to these three words." Zuo Boss finally couldn't help interrupting the other party, but couldn't help but burst into tears. "Zhang Baishou just said that we are absurd, but if the second child is still alive, with his hard work and talent, why should we be absurd? The foundation of the Long Whale Gang, the business in Huan Shui, should be our Zuo family after several generations of management. There is a pattern. As a result, the second child died suddenly, the management of several generations, the planning of the father and son for more than ten years, all came to naught, and the old father died directly in depression...I..."

Not far behind the left boss, Zhou Xingfan, who had been listening attentively, was stunned, but what he didn't notice was that Zhang Xing also opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the out-of-control Zuo Caihou.

But very soon, Zhang Sanlang was the first to come back to his senses, but he was looking around. After realizing that he had made the right bet and that Zuoyou was not here to eavesdrop, he immediately got up and waved slightly to Mr. Zhou.

Zhou Xingfan came to his senses and stepped forward immediately.

"Send a signal, send a message, no matter what, let the inspection come quickly, and don't have to stick to the day of the Jianghuai meeting." Zhang Xing immediately ordered.

"Temporary summons, I'm afraid it won't take more than a day and a half." Zhou Xingfan replied in a low voice.

"I know, but I still have to do my best." Zhang Xing replied neatly.

Zhou Xingfan turned around immediately, ready to go downstairs, but was grabbed by Zhang Xing from behind, and was surprised for a moment.

"Be careful." Zhang Xing pressed the opponent's hand and said softly. "Don't tell anyone, you don't know what's going on today, and don't think too much, even if you guess it, pretend you don't know..."

Zhou Xingfan swallowed, nodded immediately, and was about to go again, but suddenly held the knife in his waist.

Before Zhang Xing turned his head, he heard Boss Zuo's hoarse voice: "You lied to me!"

"Wait a moment." Zhang Xing came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted to Xiao Zhou to stop for the second time, and then turned around, and saw that Boss Zuo had got up, and stared at him with red eyes, but tried his best to calm down right.

"Yes, but not entirely. I originally wanted to find your third brother, but I thought that Zuo You might go there and wait there, so I temporarily decided to do the opposite and cheat you directly... And you don't want to do that Dissatisfied, I have already guessed that Ziwu Sword might not be your second brother, but Dongyi people in disguise... After all, at that time, it was the time when the imperial court was divided into three parts of the witch clan, and the whole country was talking about conquest of Dongyi, so the Dongyi people In order to bury a big nail in the grain road behind Xuzhou, I am afraid that I am willing to pay any capital... But I really did not expect that your second brother is already dead."

What else does Boss Zuo have to say?

Zhang Xing suddenly stepped forward and held the other party's hand: "Boss Zuo... I know I cheated you just now, but I still want to ask you, do you remember our previous gentleman's agreement?"

Boss Zuo was slightly taken aback, his face full of confusion.

"Your matter is too great." Zhang Xing replied earnestly. "You can keep it for a while, but you can't keep it for a lifetime. You can't escape even if you are in Fuli... So, tell me who Ziwujian is, and cooperate with me and listen to my arrangements. Don't startle the snake, just help me lure that I let your third brother escape privately...how about this agreement?"

Boss Zuo stared blankly at the other person's eyes, opened his mouth to speak, almost slumped back to his seat, but still managed to stand still, and then sighed for a moment: "It's the one you want, there is no one else, it's him! But he didn't become a pill, just Condensing Dan, if you want to fly with real qi, you are destined to show the light of real qi."

Zhang Xing nodded in response, let go of his hand, and then turned back to signal to the other person: "Xiao Zhou, remember what I just said, don't show your feet, escort him back no matter how he came, and then let Qin Bao call the patrol Check, don't move around."

Xiao Zhou thought about it for a while, and he came to his senses, but he took a few deep breaths, and then nodded heavily.

Boss Zuo thought for a while, but he had no choice but to stagger away, followed by Xiao Zhou.

As soon as the person left, Zhang Xing, who was alone, could only sit back slumped, looking at Chunyu outside the attic, gasping for breath.

After a while, Zhou Xingfan sent Boss Zuo to a small courtyard in the back half of the main rudder of the huge Long Whale Gang, and then respectfully signaled him to enter the house in the courtyard. After the other party entered the house, he looked around. Just now I left quickly... I didn't meet any unnecessary people during the whole process.

However, just as Zhou Xingfan left the yard and the water-stained Boss Zuo was about to talk to his third brother, a figure suddenly flashed in from the house, and then indifferently asked the water-stained Boss Zuo:

"Brother, how are you?"

Zuo Lao San was taken aback, with a terrified expression, while Zuo Boss was slightly taken aback, and then shook his head slightly regardless of the water stains all over his body: "He knew that I was assisted by Dong Yi, but he didn't know that you were my second son." Disciple Wu Jian, just want to ask me about your whereabouts, I just want him to protect my whole clan and Li Zida's life."

Zuo You sighed: "If he is really smart, he should have left you and come here to scare the third child himself, maybe it will have a miraculous effect... It's a pity that I came over quickly after I got away, only to find that he didn't come without you .”

Boss Zuo hesitated to speak.

"What?" Zuo You asked with a sneer.

"I'll stay here to help you, can you take the third child to Dong...to Dadong Shengguo?" Boss Zuo asked sincerely.

"That's not necessary." Zuo You frowned slightly. "Although that person surnamed Zhang has some background and skills, but he has too many thoughts... I have already figured out a way to make a subordinate who has a thorough understanding of the meridian Dzogchen appear in public three days later, pretending to be your younger brother to come to the meeting, and within two days, I will use my skills in the Condensation Stage to lay the foundation for him to see if I can help you keep most of the situation. Don't even think about the Long Whale Gang, but your clan's foundation and your brother's future are always worry-free. Jiu You will always be seated at the table, cooperate when the time comes, and don't lose face."

Boss Zuo sighed, seemingly relieved, but also a little disappointed.

"Are you still sighing?" Zuo You was dissatisfied on the spot. "If it wasn't for your own lack of ability and virtue, let that so-called Li Zida turn against you, otherwise everything can be kept!"

Boss Zuo could only bow his head: "Listen to everything... second brother."

Zuo You smiled and nodded: "That's good... I've been living here for two or three days, and that Zhang San is as cunning as a ghost, and he can't guess that my real Ziwu Sword is here... Of course, Maybe we brothers haven't been close for a long time, if that person surnamed Qin hadn't been looking at me today, we could have met earlier."

Boss Zuo could only nod his head.

At the same time, on the attic a few hundred steps away, Zhang Xing finally recovered his breath, and went downstairs to have dinner... Speaking of which, tonight, the leader of the Wenren Gang will invite him to drink.

PS: Good morning everyone... By the way, I wish myself a happy birthday... Also, the leader who has not joined the group joins the group to find me.
