Ping An Biography

Peach Blossom Fairy and others left Nanjing city early, and on the way west they met the "skinny man" who left the city later.I heard that the government later set up checkpoints in all the gates, but the thin man got out unharmed. After all, he was alone and his goal was not big.

This group of people originally discovered the secret work of Hu Ying's officials. After the interviews caused the organization to be abolished, they worked under Zhang Ning through Zhao Erniang's relationship.They have no loyalty to a certain class, and they do this business for their livelihood and money; but they are still useful people and are very skilled in doing things.The thin man not only verified with his own eyes that the members of the Zhang family were taken away, but also inquired about many details before he came over to deal with business in a leisurely manner.

The official sent to the inn on the other side of the river to question the suspicious person. At that time, it was a wise move for Peach Blossom Fairy and others to leave the inn immediately and leave the city.The thin man also inquired about the details of Zhang Shicai's request to be beaten for his father.

The gossip that people are interested in in each era actually revolves around some fixed themes and routines, and at this time, related content such as filial piety, wife virtuousness, servant loyalty, etc. can easily spread, even in extreme cases.So after the accident in Zhang's family, everyone read jokes, gloated, and lamented for no reason. Because Zhang Shicai was whipped for his father, this story has a little more bright spot that fits the theme of the times, just like the finishing touch of gossip. pen.

Perhaps the yamen servants who witnessed it at the scene said it, and then spread the matter through chatting with various social relations.

When things got to this point, even though Peach Blossom Fairy was unwilling in every possible way, she had no choice but to lead her back west.She can't take four or five people under her command to rob the prison. People who run the rivers and lakes can sometimes call themselves "xias", and they can fight with knives, guns, sticks, and fists, but it is obviously too difficult to break open the prison in the yamen to save people; "Defend the land on behalf of the emperor" is not completely verbal, the government's yamen is heavily fortified, and it is estimated that the army will be used to be tough.What's more, order a few secret agents to follow to do the errand that is almost like sending them to death, are they willing?

When the group walked along the main road to a market near Anqing Mansion, they found Zhang Ning and others who came from Huguang.

There is always such a market on the post road, especially in the densely populated southeastern region, where the constant traffic of pedestrians brings business opportunities.Zhang Ning found a shop where he could eat and rest. It was safer for a group of people to enter the room and talk than to be scrutinized by everyone on the road.

He wore a certain ridiculous bamboo hat, and he took it off and put it by the door when he entered.Peach Blossom Fairy said with an apologetic expression: "It didn't go well, it didn't go well..." Then she narrated the incident in detail. Zhang Ning didn't interrupt her, but just listened silently.

Obviously from Peach Blossom Fairy's narration, they have tried their best, and the fault is not on them. Peach Blossom Fairy may also be aware of this problem, and then added: "Master Zhang can listen to other people's words."

Zhang Ning is no longer an adult, he is obviously a wanted criminal, but right now there is no need to correct these minor details of Peach Blossom Fairy.

"No, I believe what you said." Zhang Ning said.

The family was arrested... Zhang Ning's mood at this time can be described as tangled. The first thing he thought of was how to explain to his little sister, and then he felt a sense of humiliation.Even though sometimes he feels like an "outsider" in the Ming Dynasty, he has cultivated to the point where he doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.There are many relatives, friends, classmates, and neighbors in Nanjing, and it is inevitable that there will be some discussions; I also think about the innocent women in the Zhang family, what is wrong, will they be insulted if they are arrested and imprisoned?Thinking of this, Zhang Ning felt anger and guilt.

Soon he realized that his performance was too "calm", which would give people a bad impression.However, he himself feels that the real reaction can only be like this. In his emotions, the uncle's family is at most acquaintances, and it is really difficult to experience the family-like feelings; although it should not be like this in the eyes of others.

And with Zhang Shicai's little story of being whipped for his father, Zhang Ning's calm performance is a bit unfilial.

He staggered suddenly, Peach Blossom Fairy and others rushed to support him.He still had no expression on his face, pretending to be calm: "I'm fine, pour me a glass of water."

The people around hurried to get the teapot and pour water.

He held the cup unsteadily and took a sip, found a chair and sat there without saying a word.Sometimes pretending to be sad does not need to cry and mutter, just expressing it like this is enough, and it looks more real.

Of course it's just like that.Suddenly he felt that he should not be an indifferent or even cold-blooded person, why was he so insensitive?Perhaps after killing someone and experiencing extreme psychological pressure, the individual is gradually changing.

And he instinctively doesn't want this change to be exposed, he wants to pretend to have the same emotions and morals as ordinary people.Although he is a wanted criminal, he still has a recognized identity in Jianwen. The prince should be a decent person... As a person like him who has kept the rules for two lifetimes, he is afraid of one thing for no reason, and that is If you are too unique and perverse, you will lose the approval of others.Perhaps this is also the nature of most human beings. People are always imitating the group model and following the trend. That's why order is so easy to establish. Even in troubled times, there is a certain order.

Peach Blossom Fairy cautiously comforted: "The government just took them away, so there should be no danger to their lives for the time being... Maybe the government just wants to take them as hostages, and only wants to arrest Mr. Zhang."

"It shouldn't be so fast." Zhang Ning kept a sad expression on his face, and turned his head to signal a few secret servants to avoid.

After a while, he said: "Wu Yong's case must have been solved. The emperor will be so angry when he has real evidence, and rush to send people down to deal with the Zhang family. How did they solve it? The bones buried in the mountains I was found by the nearby Chai households or mountain people to report to the officials? In this way, if I search the whereabouts of Jin Yiwei in Changde Mansion, I can find clues from the body to prove the identity of Wu Yong's body. Once the rush arrives in the capital, the emperor and Hu Ying will It is inferred that I did it..."

The atmosphere in the room was not very good. Zhang Ning and Peach Blossom Fairy still looked indifferent, not even pretending.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "In other words, this case has alarmed the imperial court, most of the places will put up portraits to arrest you. At this time, if you go north to the capital, it will be even more dangerous."

Zhang Ning suddenly felt a little scared, but it was normal to have this feeling, which proved that he was not crazy yet.What happens when people are afraid? Instinctively, they will retreat and defend, and even want to escape.

But it was easy for him to realize, was there any way out for him to get to the present field?He designed a bureau in order to grasp the development of "potential", but in the end it proved that things were difficult to be completely controlled by mortals, and the people who designed the bureau themselves had to fall into it... In fact, when he was in trouble in Nanjing at first, the one who wanted to harm Zhang Ning's Zhou Na has proved this truth.

"I still have to go, why change my mind after I've come out?" Zhang Ning said, feeling as if he was angry with himself.But he thought again, what can he do if he goes back to the mountains and hides, training soldiers?The time has not yet come, and there is still a game between the top leaders of the Jianwen Party and the evil cult. Before that, nothing can be done.

Peach Blossom Fairy said: "I will go with you."

Zhang Ning raised his head to look at her face. The scarf in front of the veil was uncovered after entering the room. The fair and seductive face and the decoration of the facial lines were different from the mainstream and serious people in the Ming Dynasty.But he could smell that Peach Blossom Fairy still had real feelings.He nodded: "Okay, I'm short of trustworthy manpower. The two male attendants who came with me are members of the evil cult. Since the leader chose them, there should be no problem, so let them continue to work together; but you brought them here It would be too risky to go to the capital with those few secret works, and we will send them back to the Demon Repelling Sect to wait in a while, and don't disclose our itinerary to them."

Peach Blossom Fairy thought for a while and then said: "I told them not to tell anything about what happened in Nanjing other than to report to the leader after they go back, lest my younger sister find out...Master Zhang should find a suitable opportunity to tell her?"

Zhang Ning nodded: "That's the way to do it, but I didn't think for a moment that it is a woman who is careful."

Peach Blossom Fairy showed a smile: "Since when did I not look like a woman?"

After discussing, they ordered other people, and then made some preparations, bought some clothes and two carriages.There were two believers, one was a fair-skinned young man, Zhang Ning made him wear silk and a breathable Dongpo scarf, just like a famous rich man; the other was a middle-aged man with a moustache, pretending to be a servant and a groom.Zhang Ning himself also wore a short gray cloth jacket with leggings and a bamboo hat to drive the chariot as a servant.Meanwhile, Peach Blossom Fairy and Chunmei put on under skirts to cover their faces with gauze, and their identities were the wives and concubines of that "son."

Road guides have been forged long ago. Zhang Ning has been an official and is familiar with various seals and official document norms. It is easy to forge guides by privately engraving letters. Even in modern times, forged documents cannot be distinguished by naked eyes. Explain generation of such stuff.Is forging a seal a crime of beheading?It is incredible that Zhang Ning is still afraid of being charged with an extra crime.

The route was slightly changed, no longer going to Nanjing, but going directly to the capital by overland from the folded road near Anqing Mansion.After discussing in advance, Lao Xu and the others will wait for Zhang Ning in the capital city; they must go to the capital first to try to meet Lao Xu, otherwise the world is so big that it is really difficult to meet.If they didn't go, after waiting for a long time, Old Xu Gan might go back to the Demonic Sect. Most likely, they have no place to go, unless they continue to run around and sing as before.
