Chapter 230: The Ice Surface

The old man looked at Zhang fearing that his face was watery and his eyes were cold, and he was a little scared. He wanted to leave but dared not, and he said for a long time: "My lord, if there is nothing else, I will leave. 26nbsp;" He didn't have the guts to beg directly. Zhang was afraid of helping, so he did his best to finish the story, and let God decide the rest.

Zhang Ao nodded slightly: "En." After he finished speaking, he felt a little cold, and added: "Wang Li is dead, and the magistrate must die too. You don't have to worry about it, and do more good deeds in the future." Hearing what Zhang Ao said, the old man Very happy, he said repeatedly: "Thank you." With the support of the middle-aged man, he walked towards the soft sedan, and then got on the sedan and left.

Many people stood on the street, watching and discussing, refusing to leave.The bodies of Wang Li and the others had been burned to ashes, and there was nothing in front of the door, and they didn't know what they were looking at.Zhang Ai closed the courtyard door, greeted Song Yunyi and the others, and quickly came to the magistrate's yamen.The magistrate knew something had happened when he got the news, and he was packing up his things and preparing to escape.Zhang was afraid that he would not talk nonsense, so he slapped him to death in the past, and then went to find the admiral.

The admiral is a foreign general who doesn't know the old affairs of Yong'an, seeing the unexpected development of the situation, the soldiers will return in fear.Then he scolded the soldiers and generals who had fled back, and then sent someone to the capital for help.More than 200 soldiers under him couldn't deal with Zhang Ai, and the admiral was even less sure to deal with him, so he could only put his ideas on others to take the lead for himself. He didn't expect that the magistrate was busy running away at this time, and he hadn't done it yet. Was killed by Zhang fear.

Zhang was afraid of killing the magistrate, so he went to the barracks again, and after finding the big tent of the Chinese army, he also slapped the admiral to death, which was regarded as an outlet for himself.So far, the three biggest scourges in Yong'an City were all killed by Zhang Ai, but they didn't embarrass their families.

Zhang was afraid to hang the two corpses high above the city gate to intimidate them, which could be regarded as their retribution for offending him.

He did this, but he didn't expect that some bold people would take advantage of the situation to make trouble.The highest official died, the subordinate officials panicked, the army was out of control, and there was a commotion of soldiers and ruffians forming groups to rob.Zhang was afraid that he would be even more angry when he found out, and he was not polite at the moment. His spiritual sense covered the entire Yong'an City. As long as he found anyone who took advantage of the chaos to do evil, no matter who he was, he would be killed without mercy.

Of course, these are just a few emergencies. Most people don't care who is an official, and they don't care who is in conflict with whom. No matter how fierce you are, as long as you don't involve yourself, it's nothing more than tomorrow's talk.

Dozens of people died during the day's turmoil. As long as they did evil on that day, no matter they stole, robbed or cheated, they would all be killed by Zhang Ai.Zhang was afraid that after the murder, he would destroy the corpse on the spot without leaving any traces, which did not cause more chaos, and Yong'an quickly calmed down.

The three culprits were killed, and those who had been bullied were all decorated with lights and joy.Early the next morning, the old man who had been here yesterday came to the house again to thank him, and paid for repairs to the ancestral hall outside the southern city.

From this day on, Zhang Ai and others lived in Yong'an and lived a peaceful life.The bodies of the magistrate and the admiral hung high above the city gate for seven days before being burned by Zhang Ai.There are always troublemakers all over the city, who want to take advantage of the chaos to rob, and want to take advantage of the situation to replace Wang Li.Anyone who has changed will be killed and burned by Zhang Ai.

Time flies, the seasons change and usher in the cold winter.Yong'an is located in the south, and the winter is only slightly colder. It doesn't snow and the water doesn't freeze. For the common people, they just wear two extra clothes, and nothing else changes.

The high-ranking civil and military officials in Yong'an were killed together. The court of Qi State attached great importance to it and sent people to investigate it carefully.Coupled with the fact that the people are harmonious and the law and order are good, there is no "turmoil" or abnormal situation, a scene of peace and happiness, the imperial court simply followed the trend, and sent another official to assist Yong'an to understand the matter in a hurry.

At this time, the new magistrate had already taken office, and the first thing he did when he took office was to come to see Zhang Ai.Zhang was afraid that he would have to chat nonsense with him for a while, to relax his heart, and then everyone should do what they should do.

Fifteen miles south of Yong'an County, there is a large lake with a radius of one hundred miles. There are several villages beside the lake, and the people in the villages make a living by fishing.Yong'an County has a convenient terrain, and there is no shortage of delicious fish all year round.But as the new year is approaching, there are fewer and fewer fish in the market, and the price is getting more and more expensive, which makes the people in the city curious, where did the fish go?

Interested people inquired everywhere, and it turned out that the great lake had frozen.

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar.How could it be possible to freeze on such a hot day in Yongan?Anyway, fifteen miles is not far away, and many people go to Dahu to find out.

The Great Lake has the same name as the city, also called Yong'an.In the past, the blue waves were rippling, and the lakes and mountains were infinitely beautiful, but now they have become pure white.Hard and thick white ice covers the entire lake, and you can't see the edge as far as you can see.

After Zhang Ai and others heard about it, they also came to join in the fun. The weather is warm, but the lake water can freeze, which is always a little abnormal.When I arrived at the lake, I found that there were quite a few people who came to join in the fun. Hundreds of people stood along the lake and stretched for several miles.

As soon as they stood by the lake, a kind person reminded them: "Don't go on the lake, it's very cold."

cold?Zhang was afraid to look around. Sure enough, everyone was standing on the bank, and no one was playing on the ice.However, no one was seen to be frostbitten. Presumably, the cold was limited, and they walked onto the ice.

The man muttered, "Why don't you know good intentions, and you don't believe me when you say Leng."

Zhang was afraid that when he stepped on the ice, he immediately felt the temperature difference, and the biting cold hit his whole body, and his shoes and clothes couldn't stop him at all.That kind of cold seemed to be the feeling of standing naked in the iceberg. It was biting and unbearable, but it was not fatal for a short time.

Stepping back to the shore, the cold feeling disappeared immediately, and the contrast between cold and hot, at this time, it was like a spring breeze, warm and comfortable.

Strange, there is such a huge difference in the distance of one step.Thinking about the coldness, it is not just the coldness of the ice surface, as if the lake surface and the land are two worlds, winter is on the lake, and summer is on the shore.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the person beside him thought he was freezing, so he kindly suggested: "Is it cold? If you don't believe me, go back and drink a few sips of shochu to warm up and you'll be fine."

Zhang Ao smiled at him: "Thank you, I'm fine." He knelt down and looked at the ice surface carefully.I faintly feel that it is slightly different from normal ice, but I don't know where it is different. I want to compare it with clotted ice, but there are people around me who are inconvenient to do so.

Zhang Tianfang didn't care about that, he laughed and said, "You'd better freeze to death." As he spoke, he jumped onto the ice, shouting as he jumped, "It's not cold, it's not cold." , that guy protects himself with spiritual power, it is strange to feel the cold.

The kind-hearted man beside him yelled in fright: "Come back quickly, be careful of frostbite." Zhang feared: "That's a madman, with thick skin and thick flesh, he's fine." .”

Zhang Tian tossed on the ice for a while, jumped back and said, "No, how thick is the ice? Why can't I see the bottom?"
