The afternoon sun shone in through the carved wooden window, exposing a faint stain on the collar of Zhang Ning's snow-white lining; last night he rested in the inn, and the lining was not changed all day, so the white collar was a little dirty will be very obvious. www: Reading novels is actually a bit pretentious to dress like this, because there were no washing machines in the Ming Dynasty, and changing underwear every day is actually a very troublesome thing. Fortunately, with his current status, there are servants waiting for him, and it is his freedom to pretend or not If there is no such condition, his habit will definitely be gossiped.As the saying goes, all abstract tastes are based on real conditions. If you have no money or status, many things are just bullshit, which is not as good as vulgar, naturally.

He sat in the room for a while, thinking about things calmly. He was also suspected of being cool, but he didn't realize it.

"I have to go to the main altar of the evil cult as soon as possible." It took Zhang Ning a long time to say a word.

In his complicated thoughts, he seemed to have returned to a certain point in time in the past, and he was facing a rather troublesome math problem.In fact, the situation at this time has something in common with the math problem. Each step is not difficult, but it is a bit complicated if there are many steps. In addition, a starting point is needed, and creative thinking is needed to find the key...Of course, if it is just a math problem If the problem is solved, there is no need to consider human life.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart, since Empress Ma used unscrupulous means to frame Yao Ji, why should she try her best to kill Yao Ji when she has the opportunity?If Emperor Jianwen removed Yao Ji's power and separated her from the cult members, wouldn't it be an opportunity for Empress Ma to cut meat on the board?

At this time, Fang Ling asked: "Master Zhang is going to ward off the evil sect, what should we do with Zhan Zhuli who was kidnapped from the city and Wu Yong who is at large?"

"Peach Blossom Fairy has been sent to chase Wen Jun and Wu Yong." Zhang Ning said, "I have to go out of the city to deal with this matter first, and then rush to ward off the cult. Miss Fang will let the messenger stay in the tea garden for a while. When I come back, let the messenger Take me to the evil sect."

Fang Ling couldn't help asking gently: "You want to kill them?"

Zhang Ning was silent for a moment, nodded, stood up immediately, and said, "I'm leaving the city now."

For a while Fang Ling suddenly felt that Zhang Ning seemed to be gradually becoming a stranger.She knew Zhang Ning's background. He was just a student who had been studying hard for 20 years. It made Fang Ling's influence on him change a bit, and she felt that he was not an idiot; but this time she wanted to kill someone, even if Fang Ling was on the opposite side of the court, she also knew right and wrong, so she suddenly felt that Zhang Ning had become faintly crazy .

Zhang Ning left the Yuanshui tea garden. He had already decided to kill people to silence him and deal with it himself. He wanted to see the corpse with his own eyes in order to be safe.

When I went out of the city, I saw Xu Guangchao, the carriage was parked beside the road, but the groom was gone, and Xu Guangchao was in the carriage.Zhang Ning got on the felt car and saw that Zhan Zhuli had woken up from a coma. The eyes on a withered face with broad bones seemed to be extraordinarily bright at this moment, probably because his mouth was blocked and he could only communicate with his eyes. , so the eyes are wide open.

"The groom is gone?" Zhang Ning asked casually, without waiting for an answer, he said, "There are only four people involved in this matter now, besides the two of us, there are also Xu Wenjun and Peach Blossom Fairy who are chasing Wu Yong. Five people know."

Old Xu calmly said: "Don't worry, my master. I have already considered these issues when Yangzhou agreed to follow my master."

After hearing this, Zhang Ning felt relieved, nodded with some approval, and said, "Let's walk northeast along the road now, while waiting for Wenjun's news."

So Lao Xu went to the front to catch the car, and Zhang Ning watched Zhan Zhuli in the car.Zhan Zhuli was tied up in various ways and couldn't move. I'm afraid there was no possibility of breaking free.

Later in the evening, she saw Xu Wenjun who had returned. She said that Wu Yong had been caught, and the group joined together and continued to walk north.Passing by a market, Zhang Ning asked someone to buy tools such as hoes and shovels and threw them on the carriage.

Seeing this, Lao Xu and Wen Jun were silent, probably guessing the usefulness of these tools.Zhang Ning originally thought that burning the corpses with firewood would be the cleanest, but he realized a problem. It would take hundreds of catties of firewood to cremate two corpses. Where did the firewood come from?It takes labor and time to go up the mountain to cut firewood. There are two women and one old man in a group, and Zhang Ning is a civil servant. It is a bit difficult to cut hundreds of firewood; if you go to buy, there will be more witnesses and clues.And when the fire is soaring, it is easy to attract the attention of people around.So he decided to give up this method of destroying corpses.

The Peach Blossom Fairy led the way, and Lao Xu drove the car into a forest by the roadside. He saw Xu Wenjun standing next to a tree with a dagger, Wu Yong was tied to the tree, and the reins of the two horses were also tied to the tree. nearby.

Zhang Ning ordered Wu Yong to be untied from the tree and tied to the horse again.They temporarily abandoned the carriage in the woods, took the horses and camels, and walked along the woods into the mountains as far as possible away from the post road.

After walking for an hour or two, the sky was completely dark, and everyone didn't have dinner. After tossing for a long time, they were already hungry. When they walked to an earth temple, Zhang Ning saw that there were no lights nearby, and the mountains and forests were sparsely populated. , then told everyone to stop.

Xu Wenjun lit a fire in the Earth Temple to keep warm, and Zhang Ning asked someone to entrust the two captives into the Earth Temple.Several people were very silent, Peach Blossom Fairy looked calm and didn't speak, maybe she didn't know what to say.Peach Blossom Fairy had conflicts with the government and her peers in the process of armed smuggling of smuggled salt. It is inevitable that she has never committed a murder case. Her expression encouraged Zhang Ning. Maybe killing is nothing more than that?

So Zhang Ning said: "Strangle them to death here, so as not to bleed, and then dig a secluded place on the mountain and bury them."

This sentence made both Wu Yong and Zhan Zhuli struggle for a while, only to see Wu Yong staring round and shaking his head, wanting to say something in his mouth.Zhang Ning said in his heart: He has also been friends with Wu Yong for several years, and now he is going to die, so if we don't give him a chance to say a few last words, there is no need for him to go to the grave with his mouth full of words.

Zhang Ning then ordered: "Take the things out of their mouths, it's no use shouting in the wilderness."

After the cloth ball was pulled out of Zhan Zhuli's mouth, he immediately said, "The criminal who is going to be beheaded for public display has a good meal before he dies, and doesn't even have a sip of wine?"

Zhang Ning was stunned, and said helplessly: "I didn't think of this, or I bought something at the market before, and bought you a pot of wine by the way."

At this time, Wu Yong was just able to speak, took a big breath, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Ping'an, you thought we would be fine if you killed us? The two of us had an accident at the same time. You are so delusional when Mr. Hu is a three-year-old child! This Sooner or later, the matter will be settled with you... Why do we need to make such a mess? As long as you let me go, I swear to God that I will never say anything about it."

Zhang Ning didn't say a word, thinking that if everything is negotiable, how could the entire history of mankind become a history of war?He thought for a while, but didn't give a direct answer. He just asked: "Since we have talked, I am puzzled by one thing. Why is it that Zhan Zhu left the Yamen to report, and the person who sneaked out of the city was Mr. Wu? If Zhan Zhu If Li didn't throw himself into the trap and go away by himself, it might be much more difficult for us to chase than to chase Mr. Wu."

Before Wu Yong could answer, Zhan Zhuli said: "Master Wu said that the prefect of Changde will definitely report the report and dare not hide it; moreover, we have no real evidence. If I go to Beijing to report and don't know how to deal with bureaucrats, It might be self-defeating. So I asked Mr. Wu to go to Beijing, and I went to the Changde government to ask for help... Unexpectedly, Changde's mansion is so dark, the magistrate arrested me without saying a word, and handed over the letter and the letter to you, this..."

"It's really cheating." Zhang Ning blurted out, turning his head to look at Wu Yong, "Mr. Wu, what else can you say, you cheated Lao Zhan to death. Don't say you didn't expect this result, the prefect of Changde will listen to others If you have a follower at home, you will inexplicably set up an enemy in the officialdom?"

Zhan Zhuli immediately glared at Wu Yong, and scolded: "You bastard, you are too dishonest! Someone Zhan has been with you for many years, and you have no second thoughts? You are good, and when things come to an end, I will throw me into the fire pit Push, is it okay to punish yourself?"

Wu Yong's face was green and pale for a while, and he was speechless for a while. He paused for a while and said: "Master Zhang, you give me a way to survive. If I report the secret, I will be hit by a thunderbolt and die."

At this moment, suddenly there was a flash of light outside the temple, and there was a muffled "rumble" in the sky, as if it was going to rain.Zhang Ning looked back at the sky outside the door, and when he turned back, he saw the embarrassing expression on Wu Yong's face.

Wu Yong hurriedly said: "It's rainy in the south in spring, and the weather is probably going to change. God has no other intentions..."

Zhang Ning nodded and said: "That must be the case. If God is so efficacious, how come the heinous villains since Robber Zhi have not seen God's punishment?" He was silent for a while, and said: "So even if you break your oath, you can't say whether the curse will be effective or not. Good. If there is anything else to say, it's almost time."

Wu Yong's face was pale, and he burst into tears: "I still have a wife and children at home, Gao Tang needs to support, and the children haven't grown up yet, so I don't want to die." After speaking, he struggled to kneel down, but his hands and feet were tied and he finally fell on the ground, He gnawed a mouthful of dust, and his beard seemed to have turned gray, "Master Zhang, for the sake of our friendship, and for the sake of the Wu family's wife and children, give me a way to survive..."

At this time, Zhan Zhuli said coldly from the side: "I just saw Mr. Wu's promising future today. What's the use of begging? If this happens to you, can you let him go and seek death? Hey... just Too bad there's no wine."

Wu Yong scolded: "If you don't speak, can you become dumb?!"

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhuli was still a man who regarded death as his home, so Zhang Ning said: "When I go back, I will make a whole jug of wine to toast you, and you can drink to your heart's content in the underground. You two, go on your way with peace of mind."
