Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 38 Sima Mansion·True Phoenix

evening,

The setting sun is like blood, and the setting sun sheds its last afterglow.

Looking at the outline of the big city that appeared at the end of the official road, Xu Zisu breathed a sigh of relief.

finally reached.

As night approached, the number of pedestrians on the official road gradually decreased. Not long after he entered the city, the city gate was slowly closed.
Then, I found a random inn and stayed there.

The next day,

After some inquiries, it was easy to find the Zhang Mansion.

Sima Mansion is located not far from the government office. As Sima Songjian and the second-in-command of Songjian Mansion, Zhang Dunqian's mansion is very easy to identify.

Since Li Changhai, Tailing County has naturally lost its county magistrate.
When he left Tailing, the chief registrar of Tailing County sent him a message about the Songjian Mansion. He agreed without thinking about it. After all, the matter had something to do with him.

Sima Mansion,
Xu Zisu stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
After a few breaths, the door of the mansion opened, and an old man dressed in butler's clothes came out and looked at Xu Zisu suspiciously.

"Little master, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Zhang Dunqian's home?"

"It's Sima's residence. I wonder what the young master wants to do with my master?"

"The magistrate of Tailing County was killed, and the young monk came to tell him with a letter from the chief registrar of Tailing County."

The housekeeper looked startled at first, and then frowned slightly: "Young master, this matter is not my master's business. You should go to the government office and inform the master."

Xu Zisu couldn't help being stunned, thinking secretly for a moment, and then realized that he didn't want to cause trouble, but just like himself, if he wasn't afraid of going to the government office and causing trouble, why would he come to look for Zhang Dunqian.

"Donor, just go and report it. Xiaoseng and Donor Zhang have met several times. Donor Zhang must have met Xiaoseng."

There was a hint of impatience on the butler's face: "You monk, if you are done with this, I have already told you that you should go to the government office about this matter. Don't bother me, just leave quickly." After saying that, Xu Zisu didn't wait for anything to say. , just closed the door and left.

Seeing this, Xu Zisu couldn't help shaking his head, it's really easy to see the king of Hades, but hard to deal with the little devil.

Then when he was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure walking on the street.

A little girl came over happily with several maids and servants.

After seeing Xu Zisu, the little girl in the lead couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh", and then walked over with a smile on her face.

"Brother monk."

"Qinqin benefactor."

"Are you here to find my father?"

"Exactly. It's a pity that the young monk can't even get in."

Zhang Xiaoqin couldn't help but be stunned, and then gave a polite gift: "Xiaoqin apologizes to Brother Monk on behalf of the servant, and please don't mind Brother Monk."

Xu Zisu raised his head and glanced at the little girl in front of him in surprise. He had always thought that she was just a half-grown child, but now it seems that not only his words are decent, but also his etiquette is very considerate. His words and deeds are full of everyone's style.

"Donors don't need to be polite, the monk didn't mind."

Reciting eight hundred Buddhist scriptures, if you don’t even have the ability to nourish your qi, then what is the point of practicing Buddhism?

"Thank you, Brother Monk. Since Brother Monk has something to do with my father, Xiaoqin will take Brother Monk in."

"Thank you sir."

Seeing the little girl who instantly transformed from dignified to agile, Xu Zisu was secretly speechless. Women are indeed fickle.

The servant knocked on the door knocker, and the housekeeper just now frowned again and opened the door. The moment he saw it was Zhang Xiaoqin, a smile appeared on his face: "Miss, you are back."

Then he glanced to the side, and frowned again: "You monk, why haven't you left yet, don't you want the old man to call someone?"

A cold look flashed across Zhang Xiaoqin's face: "Uncle Chen."

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Miss."

"This is Sima Mansion, and you are just a servant. I call you Uncle Chen because you are an old man in the family, but it does not mean that you can make decisions for my Zhang family. This little master Pudu is a distinguished guest of my father. If you turned away an important guest, if anyone knew about it, how would the Zhang family's face be saved?"

When Butler Chen heard this, a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face was full of panic.

"Miss, this... old servant doesn't know, please forgive me."

"I think you are an old man of the Zhang family, so I won't pursue it this time. You can do it yourself."

"Thank you Miss!"

Butler Chen looked relieved and hurriedly thanked him.Then she withdrew her piercing gaze and showed a pure smile: "Brother Monk, please."

The corners of Xu Zisu's mouth twitched. Is this still a 13-year-old girl?
The way Shicai used to control his subordinates was not simple, not simple!

Then he looked suspiciously at the top of Zhang Xiaoqin's head and saw a lilac ray of luck swaying, and he was stunned.

emperor?

wrong,

She is just a woman from an official family, and the chance of becoming an emperor is low. Therefore, the most likely thing is,
Queen!

The future emperor and empress.

No wonder he has such courage at such a young age.

However, this has little to do with myself.

Then, he followed Zhang Xiaoqin towards the mansion.

Sima Mansion,
living room,
Zhang Dunqian frowned and looked at the big man sitting beside him: "So, this matter requires the help of the government army?"

"Yes, I have already discussed it with Captain Liu, and now we are just waiting for Zhang Sima to speak."

"Liu Lieutenant, can you agree?"

"Liu Duwei said that as long as Zhang Sima agrees, he will."

Zhang Dunqian frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I can accept this matter, but I want to go with the army when the time comes."

At this very moment, it is a serious crime to use troops privately, but for the sake of the people, he has to accept it.

The big man frowned, then nodded: "Yes."

"That's it, it's settled, I don't know when to take action."

"As early as possible is better. How about tomorrow?"

"Forget it, I will go to the government army today."

"Thank you Zhang Sima."

"Commander Jiang, there is no need to be polite."

Just as the two were exchanging greetings, a smart voice came from afar.

"Daddy."

Zhang Dunqian smiled helplessly and cast an apologetic look at Jiang Zhou: "My little girl is rude, I hope Commander Jiang will be lenient."

"Hehe, I heard earlier that there is a girl in Zhang Sima's family who is lively, virtuous and straightforward. When I see her today, she really lives up to her reputation."

Zhang Dunqian stroked his beard with one hand and smiled reassuringly: "Commander Jiang is joking."

Zhang Xiaoqin walked through the courtyard, and when she saw someone else in the living room, her face suddenly straightened.

"Xiaoqin has met Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Zhou couldn't help but be stunned and asked doubtfully: "Do you know me?"

"I heard from my father that Uncle Jiang, as the commander of the town demon division, is a town stone in Songjian Mansion."

"Haha, Brother Zhang said something serious."

As he spoke, he smiled at Zhang Dunqian, with a bit of kindness in his eyes.

"Father, when my daughter came back from the street this time, she brought you an old friend."

Zhang Dunqian couldn't help but be stunned, old friend?

Then he looked suspiciously at the footsteps coming from the courtyard.

I saw a young monk wearing monk's robe slowly walking over.

monk?

Jiang Zhou couldn't help being taken aback.

"Little Master Pudu?"

Zhang Dunqian was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile.
