Ping An Biography

Zhang Ning wants to leave the main altar of the evil cult and go north to the capital.Old Xu, grandson and grandson went to the capital to deliver letters, and they would wait there to meet up; Peach Blossom Fairy took people to Nanjing;Therefore, none of Zhang Ning's trusted confidantes was needed, and he needed someone to follow him to take care of him, and Yao Ji appointed this person. <Mei and the other two male believers are said to be good at swordsmanship and good at taking care of horses.Yao Ji was really nice to him, but she didn't know how she knew that he liked Chunmei more than Qiuye or that very unfriendly Dongmei.

As if something went wrong in his mind, Zhang Ning decided to play a prank on the spur of the moment, and privately told Yao Ji that he wanted Dongmei to go with her.Yao Ji was puzzled, so he said solemnly: "When I was an official with Hu Butang, I saw the methods of Jinyiwei soldiers. They stripped off a young court lady's clothes in public and humiliated her. The torture used in the prison was even worse. Worse. Chunmei is too young and pretty, I suddenly couldn't bear it."

Perhaps it was a prank to retaliate against her for ignoring and refusing to meet her for the few days, Zhang Ning deliberately made Yao Ji feel sad.But he didn't expect Yao Ji to be so sad, she was always very indifferent and cold. <Mei, this sentence made her first think of Zhang Ning being arrested.

Zhang Ning didn't see her lower her head and remained silent.She suddenly raised one hand and put it on the other arm, the tendons on the back of her hand were already tense, tightly grasping the skin on her arm.Zhang Ning seemed to feel a tingling pain when the fair and delicate skin was pinched like this.

He stood there a little at a loss, mainly because Yao Ji was not like this usually, she always had a smile that seemed to be there.Suddenly, something dripped from the face covered by her lowered head.

"It's just a joke..." Zhang Ning squatted down and looked up at her face, and hurriedly said kindly, "Think about what I have been doing as an official for a few years, secretly investigating and arresting the rebellious party for Hu Ying, and my opponents are all veterans. Jianghu, I have also seen me fall. (First, first) Now the enemy is open and we are dark, the world is so big, how can it be so easy for them to catch me?"

At this time, Zhang Ning saw her servant Xiaoyue walking to the door, so she looked up.Yao Ji noticed that she seemed to have eyes on her back, and suddenly she choked up and said angrily without looking back, "Get out! Get out, or I'll kill you!"

Xiaoyue's face turned pale with fright, she dropped the things in her hand and ran away.

Yao Ji raised her head boldly suddenly, without wiping the tears off her face, she said: I have never cried in front of others. <Mei said: "Let's go to Nanjing first, and then go north along the canal. This road is a bit detoured, but it can avoid many dangers; Jin Yiwei came from Bei Jing, they will not take this road around. Also calculate the time, Maybe we can meet Peach Blossom Fairy and the others on the way to Nanjing, they picked up my family members, and they should be on the way back."

……

Nanjing has been windy these past few days, and the salty smell of the ocean can still be smelled in the wind. The weather is so gray that it may rain heavily.As a result, there were fewer pedestrians on Liren Street than usual, and some people stood at the door of the shop and looked up at the sky, muttering something.

Peach Blossom Fairy wore a veiled hat on her head and was standing on the arch bridge over the Qingxi River looking around. She pointed to an inn on the other side of the river and told the people around her: "Go to the rented house next to the street and stare at the alley. wait."

A man turned and left as ordered.Peach Blossom Fairy was thinking: Zhang's house is in a small alley, surrounded by private houses, it's inconvenient to hide, why not set up footholds at both ends of the alley for easy maneuvering.

Right now, the weather looks like "the mountain is raining and the wind is coming, and the building is full of wind", but after careful observation, it is actually very peaceful, olfactory tranquility, and nothing is about to happen.

Peach Blossom Fairy and others are also less eye-catching.Nanjing was originally a big city with a very large floating population.It used to be the capital of the Ming Dynasty, with a large number of talented people. Many people from Nanjing were officials in the capital or in other places, and many of them came back to visit relatives. It was a hub connecting the north-south trade line of the main road, and the distribution of sea and land. Commerce and workshop manufacturing The industry is well-developed, and it is not unusual to see cao|foreigners with accents from the north and south of the Yangtze River here; and there are also many people who come to travel and play, where the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is located, some place names have inexplicably become famous and stories have been passed down, so the original extremely ordinary The streets and houses seem to become meaningful, as if this is the foundation.

And people like Peach Blossom Fairy may be family members of officials, businessmen, or people who travel in mountains and rivers, so it is not worth making a fuss about.

Sending someone to find the way, Peach Blossom Fairy didn't enter the alley until late at night, because she knew that Zhang Ning's family was running the brocade shop, and the men in broad daylight should not be at home.Knocking on the courtyard door, I saw a strong man standing in front of him, and a middle-aged man standing behind him looking vigilantly.

"You are..." The strong man stood at the door, not intending to let them in.Four or five strangers suddenly appeared at the door of the house, and there was a woman covering her face, which is what anyone would do.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "Are you Zhang's elder brother who is famous for his talents? We are sent by Mr. Zhang. Here is the family letter written by Mr. Zhang. Please have a look."

Zhang Shicai was stunned, took the letter, and then politely greeted him: "Come in and talk." Turning around, he called, "Erlang's man, prepare some tea."

He handed the letter to Zhang Jiujin first, and Zhang Jiujin cupped his fists and said, "I don't know how to call it?"

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "My surname is Wang, and I have some important matters entrusted by Mr. Zhang. You are welcome to read his letter first."

"Please drink a cup of thin tea in the tent," Zhang Jiujin said.

Peach Blossom Fairy entered the house and took a seat as she said, but the other four commoner men did not sit, but stood.Zhang Jiujin looked at a few people cautiously, then tore open the envelope and looked through it quickly, his face became more and more ugly, and then his hands began to shake.Zhang Shicai, who came in later, saw the situation and went to read the letter.

"This Erlang..." Zhang Jiujin walked around.

Peach Blossom Fairy hurriedly said: "This is the end of the matter, it's not time to blame Mr. Zhang, you'd better inform your family immediately to prepare."

"What did he do that made us flee with him?" Zhang Jiujin patted his chair angrily, took a breath and said, "On the ground in Nanjing, I often hear that officials are convicted. It’s serious, at worst, someone ransacked the house and searched for stolen goods. Erlang hasn’t brought back any money in the past few years, and the Zhang family’s money and real estate have been clearly stated, and there are accounts to check.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Since Mr. Zhang has ordered it, it may be a very serious matter. You take your family out for a while, and if you find out that you are fine at that time, it will not be a problem to come back. "

Zhang Jiujin raised the envelope in his hand: "We don't know you, and with such a letter, we are asked to leave our hometown? What about the shop, who will collect the rent in the countryside..."

"Listen to me, these are trivial things, and Mr. Zhang will only compensate you for the loss at that time." Peach Blossom Fairy said.

After a while, two women also came to the door, but they didn't come in. A younger woman was leading a little girl who was less than ten years old.Zhang Shicai, who was sitting next to his father, also took over and said: "It's not a small matter, but it's hard to distinguish the authenticity of the letter for a while. Of course we can read Erlang's handwriting, but except for him, everyone in the family doesn't read much, so we have to ask someone else for the fine work of distinguishing handwriting. "

Zhang Jiujin tried his best to be polite after hearing this: "I'm not afraid of some people's suspicions. After all, we have never lived, and your accents are not quite right... You, the person in charge, still cover your face."

The Peach Blossom Fairy was speechless for a moment, and quickly took off the veiled hat, only to see a charming face, and a gorgeous red flower was painted on the left cheekbone, making her image in plain blue cloth one of a kind. Yan.Zhang Shicai was stunned, his eyes were a little straight, and his wife outside the door showed a trace of hostility.Zhang Jiujin frowned, obviously Peach Blossom Fairy's face was not from the Liangshan family.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "You can find someone to identify the authenticity of the handwriting, but there are two things: don't show the whole content of the letter to others, so as not to cause unnecessary complications; hurry up, let's come back tomorrow night, how about it?"

Zhang Jiujin nodded after hearing this, and Peach Blossom Fairy stood up without dragging her feet, "So let's take my leave first."

The father and son also stood up and sent Peach Blossom Fairy and others out of the yard.When Zhang Jiujin came back, he looked angry and scolded Zhang Ning first.The son picked up by his deceased brother is indeed very worrying. He used to think that his academic fame would be a little bit of light, but in the end he brought big troubles to the family time and time again!Whether it's an assassin at home, or provoking the government and being questioned, Zhang Jiujin, who is doing business on his own, thinks it's a big deal.

"It's good to be at home for a thousand days, and it's been more than half a day to go out. People who are away from home are humble." Zhang Shicai was also reluctant to flee.Fleeing away from home and going out to buy goods are completely different things, and there is no guarantee at all in an unfamiliar place.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China five or sixty years ago, Nanjing has always been a place of prosperity in the world. There has never been a time when there was a famine to flee from famine, but people have heard stories of fleeing from famine.

Zhang Jiujin said: "If the government really wants to accuse us of crimes, even if we escape, we will not be safe in this life. Our Zhang family is finished for generations! How will we survive in the future? Be a bandit who robs houses, or serve as a slave for other families Work?"

"Erlang is the adopted son of our family, and the seat is not so heavy? There are a few families in the countryside who know about this and can testify. When the government asks, let's talk about this." Crepe couldn't help but say something.

"A woman's opinion!" Zhang Jiujin snorted angrily, "What do you know about Zuolian? It's really to the point of punishing the nine clans. None of the masters, relatives, and cronies who teach you can't get away. There is a slight difference between biological and adopted children. ?”

The whole family is frowning here, and the meal has already been prepared, but no one thinks to serve it.
