The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 95
The gong of the fourth watch rang in the street, and Bai Ziyu stood in front of the window wearing a coat, unable to fall asleep.Thinking of the ghost king jade card handed over to Mr. Zhang during the day, Bai Ziyu pondered: Hong'er knew he was fine, so she should be determined. With Hong'er's intelligence, she wouldn't be able to be that Mr. Zhang. When.It's just that the third son is not a simple character, and his knowledge of organs is even more subtle. Can Hong'er escape this catastrophe?

A servant came to Bai Ziyu's gate with a lamp and said, "Master Bai, my master said that since you can't sleep, why don't you come to the hall and have a chat."

Bai Ziyu didn't know what Mr. Zhang San was going to do at this late hour, but he still put on his clothes and followed the boy to the hall.

The hall was brightly lit, Mr. Zhang San was sitting at the table drinking tea, but opposite him was a man in black who was bound by several iron chains.The head of the man in black was drooping, apparently in a coma.

As soon as Bai Ziyu entered the hall, he had a bad premonition, but when he saw the familiar figure trapped by layers of iron chains, he rushed over excitedly, raised Yun Yuhong's face and patted him gently. , anxiously said: "Hong'er, Hong'er, wake up!"

Yun Yuhong didn't move, Bai Ziyu was in a hurry, turned around and sternly said to Mr. Zhang: "What did you do to Hong'er, if something happens to Hong'er, I will fight you hard."

Mr. Zhang San comforted: "Don't worry, she's fine, she's really fine, she's just caught a little smoke, and she'll wake up in a while."

Bai Ziyu was temporarily relieved when he heard this, but he hugged Yun Yuhong into his arms and looked at Mr. Zhang with vigilance.

Mr. Zhang San rubbed his nose, don't take him as a thief, he is really not interested in such a fierce woman.

After a while, Yun Yuhong opened his eyes and saw that Bai Ziyu was happy, but his body was weak and he was tied up again, so he had no choice but to still lean on Bai Ziyu's arms.

Bai Ziyu was relieved when he saw that Yun Yuhong seemed to be waking up without any serious problems.The two looked at each other, and saw the joy of reunion in each other's eyes. Although it was only a glance, it was worth a thousand words.

Bai Ziyu returned to his previous gentleness, and asked Third Young Master Zhang, "What is the third Young Master's purpose in inviting the two of us here? Let's talk about it now."

Mr. Zhang San said with a calm smile, "I want to discuss a deal with the eldest princess."

"Business, this is not the attitude of the third son to talk about business." Bai Ziyu pointed to the iron chain on Yun Yuhong's body.

"The eldest princess is very skilled in martial arts. This is a last resort. Mr. Bai should know that since a business is going to be done, the buyer and the seller must have a certain bargaining chip. And my bargaining chip is two, oh, it can also be said to be three. Count the master next to Mr. Bai." Mr. Zhang replied.

"What's the deal, let's talk about it." Yun Yuhong interjected.

Mr. Zhang San said seriously: "Both of you have been on the embankment, I wonder if you both noticed something?"

Bai Ziyu snorted coldly and said, "Are you trying to say that Zhang Shangshu embezzled the funds for embankment repairs, cut corners, filled the embankment with straw, and the embankment often burst during the rainy season?"

Mr. Zhang San let out a long sigh: "It turns out that Mr. Bai knows everything."

Yun Yuhong continued: "So you assassinated Lord Bai and designed him to be swept away by the flood?"

Mr. Zhang San paused for a while, and then said: "My second brother did the assassination, but he didn't succeed. As for the incident of Mr. Bai's dam falling into the water, I designed it, but I didn't want to kill anyone, so I didn't want to kill anyone." Saved up."

Yun Yuhong sarcastically said: "Are you trying to say that merits and demerits are equal? ​​This is not how it is calculated. If you have any purpose, you might as well say it. We have already fallen into your hands. Do you still have the right to say no?" ?”

Third Young Master Zhang glanced at Yun Yuhong, nodded and said: "Princess, speak quickly, you are right. Since I have done it, there is no need to excuse myself. The business I want to do is very simple. I want to pay three lives. Changing the eldest princess will save the Zhang family's life."

Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other, Bai Ziyu asked: "The third young master is wrong, it should be you who let us live."

Mr. Zhang San sighed and said: "The Zhang family seems to be prosperous in the past few years, but it has already entered the road of prosperity and decline. It is a good family of craftsmen, and they don't want to rely on skills. In the past few years, the people of the tribe have been lazy and lazy, their skills have been neglected, and even their unworthy children, who have ignored thousands of souls, have even proposed the idea of ​​repairing embankments. I hope the Eldest Princess will be lenient and not pursue the Zhang family's crimes anymore, and I will be responsible for finding someone to build the dam to make up for the Zhang family's fault."

"You mean to pretend that I don't know about it?" Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows.

Mr. Zhang San nodded.

Yun Yuhong snorted coldly and said: "The Zhang clan is a heinous crime. If we let them go like this, how can we be worthy of the people of the world, and how can we be worthy of the innocent souls who were drowned in the flood."

Bai Ziyu also said sternly: "That's right, if the Zhang family really realizes their mistakes, they should take the blame, make it clear to the people all over the world, and then make up for their own mistakes. If the imperial envoy let go, how can there be any repentance, if the people in the world make mistakes like you do, what kind of justice and justice will there be in this world, and what kind of principles and laws will the country talk about.”

These words made Mr. Zhang's face flushed and he was ashamed, but he still refused to give up, and said dryly: "Don't forget that your life is still in my hands." How could Mr. Zhang not understand the truth, It's just that he wants to save his family, and this is the most direct way.Both the Liu family and the Hu family have collapsed, and the Zhang family does not want to be the third.

Bai Ziyu froze, but felt very guilty, and said to Yun Yuhong, "I'm the one who got the princess hurt."

Yun Yuhong smiled and said to Bai Ziyu: " Between you and me, do you want to talk about getting involved or not?"

Bai Ziyu was very moved, he held Yun Yuhong's hand, and hugged him tightly.

Both Bai Ziyu and Mr. Zhang San felt that something was wrong, and they realized after a moment of silence, hands, Yun Yuhong's hands should be tied, how can they move now.The iron chain was still wrapped around Yun Yuhong's body, but... it was loose. Mr. Zhang San pushed the wheelchair back quickly, but was pulled back by Yun Yuhong's flick of the iron chain.

Looking at Yun Yuhong, who was full of energy and decadent, Zhang Sangong smiled wryly and said, "The eldest princess is good at acting, I must have been fooled from the beginning."

Yun Yuhong nodded, "That's right, I smoked too much smoke and other things when I was in the rivers and lakes, and these are no longer effective for me. But San Gongzi, you have no bargaining chips now, so I don't need to discuss this business." .”

Now that the matter has come to this, Mr. Zhang San has nothing to say except sighing and smiling bitterly.

Yun Yuhong looked at the stunned Bai Ziyu, smiled happily and threw herself into his arms, hugged him and said, "Don't be angry, I didn't want to lie to you, but I don't care if you want to hug me." Against it."

Bai Ziyu blushed, looking at Yun Yuhong, who was coaxing him to be happy with a childish air, neither angry nor smiling, and finally had nothing to say.

Find the cheapskate who was trapped in the dungeon, and the three of them walked to the government office together with Mr. Zhang San.But as soon as they came to the street, they heard a gong, and someone shouted: "Get up, run for your life, the embankment is going to be blown up..."

The cheapskate hurriedly grabbed a person knocking on the gong and asked, "What's going on, what is going to be blown up?"

The man pushed the stingy ghost and said: "Let's go, the magistrate informed you, you guys run quickly."

Yun Yuhong said to Bai Ziyu: "I ordered people to guard the embankment, there may be something wrong with General Gao."

Mr. Zhang San shouted: "No, it's my second brother. He's been with General Gao these days."

Yun Yuhong was about to run towards the embankment, but was held tightly by Bai Ziyu, who said, "Take me!" There was a hint of pleading and determination in his eyes.Yun Yuhong knew that he was reluctant to take risks by himself and wanted to accompany her with her life, but she was not willing to do so, patted Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "I won't go to die, wait for me outside the city, I'll be there soon." Come." After speaking, he glanced at the cheapskate and left.

The miserly ghost held Bai Ziyu with one hand, pushed Mr. Zhang with the other, and said, "Don't worry, the master will be fine, she practiced kung fu in the waterfall when she was eight years old, and fought pirates for more than a year, and her water skills are good. "

At the embankment, Master Zhang Er held a torch to ignite the gunpowder fuze on the ground. General Gao was wounded in one hand, holding a knife in the other hand, and led more than 100 soldiers to stop in front of the embankment.There are about a hundred people behind Mr. Zhang, some of them are holding torches, and some are carrying large bags of gunpowder.

General Gao raised his voice and said, "Think about it, if you blow up the embankment, you won't be able to run away. You will lose your own life. Put down the gunpowder now, turn around and leave. This general promises to let the past go."

Mr. Zhang Er said: "General Gao, you have to think carefully. For the sake of friends, I advise you to take your people and leave immediately. I will let you live, otherwise, you will be with me." The levee disappeared all together."

General Gao said anxiously: "Second Young Master, don't forget that once it explodes, you may not be able to escape."

Second Young Master Zhang smiled evilly and said, "I have my own way, since General Gao has made up his mind, then we will meet indefinitely."

After finishing speaking, Second Master Zhang sent the torch in his hand forward, and actually lit the gunpowder fuze.The sparks moved forward at an extremely fast speed. General Gao cut them with a knife, but the sparks did not go out. Instead, they scattered and marched in four directions. The entourage of Mr. Zhang also threw the torches and gunpowder to the ground.It was too late for General Gao and the others to stop them, so they could only close their eyes and wait to be blown up to the sky.

It's just that God opened his eyes, and the pouring rain fell from the sky, the gunpowder on the ground was soaked, and the sparks were extinguished immediately.Everyone in the arena was drenched into drenched rats. This was the first time that everyone in the arena liked the rain so much. Everyone cheered, but the rain was also strange. It only stopped after a while?Someone noticed something was wrong and looked not far away, but saw a figure wearing a mask of the ghost king, holding a huge one in his hand... that was a reversed roof, oh, that was the shed that was pulled out by the ghost king earlier the top.Look at the way it drips water, did the water just come up from the lake?Everyone looked at Yun Yuhong, not knowing how to describe their princess.
