Ping An Biography

One person and one horse walked through the Qingshi Road alley, and the horse was still tied to the tree last time. The habit can really be formed anywhere, even if it only comes two or three times.Perhaps people always like to act according to familiar experience.

He came to this yard a few times, and he didn't deliberately avoid people every time, but it was very likely that no one except him knew the existence of old Xu grandson.Zhang Ning was not a suspect, and no one would monitor his activities all the time. Only Zhan Zhuli might have a complicated situation, and he was there as a messenger every time an important decision was made, that's all.

"Boss, please come inside." Old Xu bowed his knees and bowed, his attitude already showing respect and inferiority.After all, people who have experienced in officialdom can easily find their own position, instead of blindly relying on the old to sell the old.

Zhang Ning glanced back at Wen Jun in tight shorts. She probably was still practicing just now with her attire. If you were a little more careful, you would find that her complexion was much ruddy and healthier than when she first arrived. The living environment is not good for a person His temperament is still very influential.Old Xu didn't seem to be that old, he was very energetic, and his movements of bending over and clasping fists were powerful.

"Recently there is something that you need to do, it may be a bit difficult, you just keep in good shape." Zhang Ning said in a casual tone, walking towards the main room, "This is the first thing I entrust to you, I think Old Xu won't refuse?"

Old Xu said: "My boss is kind to us, as long as it is within our ability, we will not hesitate to do so."

"Too serious." Zhang Ning smiled, "Don't think I'm kind to you, if you think I'm good to others, just don't make trouble when something happens."

Old Xu was stunned, and Wen Jun looked at him with a frown.He thought of the entanglement with Fang Ling and Luo Yaoniang, Fang Ling's resentful voice "You should marry Yang Shiqi's daughter" seemed to linger in his ears, and he was not a person who could play with emotions everywhere, and he seemed a little bit General feeling: "The relationship between people, maybe it should be lighter."

"You don't get rewarded for your merits, and the old man has received favors. Since you can still use it if you have something to do, please tell me." Old Xu also said indifferently.

"En." Zhang Ning nodded, lowered his head and sorted out his thoughts again, as if he was not in a hurry.After a while, Wen Jun brought two bowls of tea and said coldly: "Rough tea, you can drink it if you are used to it." Old Xu glared at her.

On the contrary, Zhang Ning didn't take it seriously, raised his head and said with a smile: "Drinking tea is a state of mind."

It was the first time for Lao and Xu to hear him say this sentence, and they immediately felt that it was quite philosophical.

"That's it. What I want you to do is to arrest a person. The route and location that this person will pass through have been clearly checked, and he is not too prepared. However, he was born in the army (General Jinyiwei Dahan), and he is in his prime, so he should be quite skilled. Maybe there will be someone around, but his whereabouts are relatively secretive, and he will never bring too many people." Zhang Ning said, "Are you sure to win?"

Old Xu said: "There are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. I haven't tried his skills, and I dare not speak big words, but if one or two people fight alone, it's not bad if I think about it. Wenjun is a skill I taught by myself. The two of us able to support each other.”

Zhang Ning nodded, and it was the next thing to say whether he could take the risk or not, because sneak attacks were possible, but the real risk was due to other unforeseen factors, and the conditions in hand were relatively harsh.

News has come back from Dashu'ao Village this morning.After Zhao Erniang succeeded, she was taken to a farm, which was exactly one of Peng Tianheng's dens, but Peng Tianheng only came here once in a while and didn't live there often; return.At that time, the reputation of Yizhen County's classic history was ruined by innocence, so naturally it would not let it go. When it was found out that the old rich man's family sent guards to guard, Zhao Erniang walked around the village once and then continued to run out. Peng Tianheng's people took it back.There was no loophole in running out to deliver the news, sneaking home and seeing the government servants escaped again, it fits Zhao Erniang's identity and psychology both emotionally and rationally.

But this news was spread by the spies through interviews. First, it had to go through the spies and contact person Xie Jun before reaching the hands of the official Zhang Ning. It is impossible that only Zhang Ning knew about it.The difficulty for him now is to let the spies take action, but also to get his own people to catch Peng Tianheng first, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the government spies, and everything will be over.

There are many steps in the whole series of actions, and if one of the links makes a mistake, it will end in failure. In short, the risk is not small, and it is a detail operation itself, and accidental events may occur.

"I will reward you with 150 taels of silver for completing this matter." Zhang Ning looked at Lao Xu and said, the amount of 150 taels is a bit strange, because he only has an integer net worth of 150 taels, and his official salary is only a few taels a month, and the money was given by Xie Jun .

After hearing this, Lao Xu's expression changed slightly, and he clasped his fists and said, "I will do my best." It can be said that the bounty is very generous. Thinking about his granddaughter who will sell it and sell it to the brothel, it will only cost 100 taels at most. She is a military officer. If you are not a senior official, how much money can you greedy for by drinking the blood of soldiers at the risk of beheading?

"This matter must be kept secret." Zhang Ning pretended to be calm, but couldn't help emphasizing it again. He pondered for a while before saying, "I will go with you. The horse in the yard is counted as one. Tonight, Youshi Wenjun Come to my residence, we will each lead a horse, and the three of us will meet outside Beicheng."

The main thing is not to worry about Lao Xu's character, but a pre-plan: in case the action fails, Zhang Ning will warn the people in Taohua Villa at that time, so that Peng Tianheng will not fall into the hands of the government; He must be very upset and maybe he will retaliate, but it is better than having the fish die and the net breaking Zhang Ning to go into the water after being caught.

After explaining the matter, Zhang Ning didn't say anything, let alone that it was serious, and went back to Biyuan directly.

Xie Jun and a few spies came to see him soon, because Xie Jun didn't care much about the business during this period of time because of the action, basically he was there whenever he was told, and he seemed to be able to tell the seriousness.Seeing them, Zhang Ning said kindly: "Don't worry, Yangzhou is only [-] miles away from Nanjing, and a fast horse can go back and forth for at most two days and two nights. When Zhan Zhuli gets the official documents, we will immediately contact the Bingma Division." It will take a few days to lay a net together."

In fact, he is in a hurry than anyone else.

"The farm doesn't seem to have many people, and our own people can make up the hundred and ten..." Xie Juan was somewhat eager to make a contribution, who wouldn't be envious when the great contribution was right in front of him?

Zhang Ningyu said earnestly: "Peng Tianheng is a military officer who used to be an imperial guard, and there may be some experts around him. Our number [-] has a large number of people, so it is still not safe; there is another point, our people are spies. , not to go all out, it is a little bit to reduce casualties."

The leaders next to Xie Juan were a little moved after hearing this. It's not a bad thing for officials to worry about the lives of their brothers.

Zhang Ning said again: "Nanjing Shangfeng has documents stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War and approved by Zhu. It is related to the Qin case, and Shangfeng will definitely give it to you. Once you get the official documents, you will go to the Military and Horse Division to ask for soldiers. Soldiers are supposed to work hard. It's their job to arrest people. If Peng Tianheng is aware of the matter in the past few days, even if they go to arrest people now, they won't be able to catch them; if he doesn't find out, it's the same after a few days."

"Yes, sir, everything is under control." Xie Jun could only clasped his fists and said.

Zhang Ning pretended to be relaxed and smiled, as if pretending to compare, but in fact there was worry in his eyes.He let out a long breath, and explained himself: It's not the time of life and death, things are risky, but even if it fails, there is no problem in giving Peng Tianheng a forewarning.He flicked the sleeves of his robe and stood up: "Go back to take a shower and change clothes, let's go, don't make people panic."

Back at the residence, Han Wu fawned over him and waited on him, but Zhang Ning drove him away.Standing under the eaves of the hanging mountain top, it seems that all he can do is to see when the sun will be westward. If he wears a watch, he must look at it more frequently.

Walking around a few times, approaching the study, he suddenly saw a decorative sword hanging on the wall, he couldn't help taking the stool cushion and took it down. "Dang" lightly pressed the mechanism, and a part of the sword body popped out. The shining iron guy is a genuine sword, but it is not completely just for display.Zhang Ning took the hilt and pulled out the sword. He stretched out his fingers and touched the edge of the sword. It seemed to be quite sharp... This thing is indeed a weapon. Although the firearms have become popular in the army, cold weapons have not yet been replaced. .

With such a long sword, ordinary people can't wear it on the street casually, and they will be arrested, but those with fame and reputation can wear it blatantly.It's completely ironic. Allowing literati to carry swords is nothing more than just for comparison.

Zhang Ning tossed the scabbard casually, and swiped the sword twice. It's not bad for people who haven't practiced to scare people with this thing. It probably doesn't make much difference whether they have weapons or not.It's not that he thinks the power of martial arts is exaggerated. Even in modern times, if you, an ordinary young man, try to fight with someone who has a background in martial arts or who has practiced Sanda, you will know the difference.

In the future, if I have a chance, I will learn a few self-defense techniques from Luo Yaoniang. It is not good for people to walk in the rivers and lakes.

However, holding this weapon in his hand seemed to boost his mood. Zhang Ning held it in the study and stabbed and slashed at the empty space a few times, feeling that he was not as depressed as before.He then picked up the scabbard and prepared to take the sword with him.

After spending a long time, seeing that the sun had already set to the west, Han Wu came in with a post, saying that there was a girl outside asking to see her.Zhang Ning then took the sword, went to the stables and led two horses out, and it was Xu Wenjun. She tied her hair with a piece of cloth on top of her head. She still looks handsome and cute, but she is very different from the delicate and handsome Han Wu after all.

Xu Wenjun didn't say anything, but took a few glances at the long sword on Zhang Ning's waist. There was a bit of mockery in his eyes. Sure enough, Lian Jiazi saw such an image of a literati saber.

Zhang Ning's appearance was young and handsome, so it was not strange to take a woman out riding a horse, besides, Zhan Zhuli was no longer in Yangzhou.
