Chapter 38: Conspiracy
When Zhang Yue stayed in Canglin Village and inquired about the black bear's attack on the village, in Zetong Township, in the private room of a tavern, four or five people were drinking and laughing together.

I saw that the clothes and costumes of these people were all dressed as errand servants, not others, but a cadre of errand servants and helpers in Zetong Township.
"Hehe, Brother Zheng, the newly appointed You Jiao of Zetong Township, that kid named Zhang Yue, will lead people to Canglin Village today!"
Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open.
A young man with a sharp beak and a slick face pushed the door and walked in, laughing at a man sitting on the main seat in the banquet.
The errand officer sitting on the main seat in the banquet was named Zheng Kai, a man about thirty years old, with a beard, who was a member of the Zheng clan in Zetong Township, and was the nephew of Zhongxian Zuo in Anchang County.
"Oh, monkey, is this thing serious?" Hearing this, Zheng Kai was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, his face was happy, and he looked at the young man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and asked.
"Of course there will be no fake, Brother Zheng. β
The young man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks walked into the banquet and sat down, and when he heard Zheng Kai's inquiry, he replied with a smile, "This morning, that kid Zhang Yue led people to Canglin Village, but Song Er, who went to Bianmin Village with Zhao Xu, saw it with his own eyes. β
"It's just that Zhang Yue's kid only returned to the village yesterday, why did he go to Canglin Village so soon...... He's too fast, isn't he?"
Zheng Kai showed a hint of confusion on his face, played with the wine glass, and muttered to himself, "Moreover, if you want to hunt black bears, that kid didn't even call us errand helpers to go with you?"
"Brother Zheng, according to me, that kid rushed to Canglin Village so quickly, I'm afraid that he is anxious to think about making meritorious contributions to this matter, so he can sit firmly in this position...... It's just that how would that kid know that the black bear is a brute beast!"
A man sitting at the head of Zheng Kai replied, his tone was full of mockery, and he shook his head again and again: "Hehe, the little baby has no hair on her mouth, she just can't hold her breath." β
"Tsk, that kid Zhang Yue, this is really rushing to die!" During the banquet, a person complimented Zheng Kai loudly, "Congratulations Brother Zheng, when the kid who stepped in the foot dies, Brother Zheng, you will definitely be sure to be nine out of ten when you hold the position of Youhui!"
"Hehe, Zhang Yue is a hairy boy, and he also wants to stand on our brother's head to and pee, and I don't want to see if he has the ability!"
"Brother Zheng, you have the ability, just a little trick, so that Zhang Yue will die without a place to be buried!"
"When Zhang Yue's kid dies, with the help of Lord County Zuo, this kid must be in Brother Zheng's pocket. β
β¦β¦
During the banquet, a group of messengers spoke one after another, complimenting Zheng Kai on the main throne, with a flattering look on his face.
"Where, where, it's all thanks to the help of your brothers!" Hearing everyone's compliments, Zheng Kai's face rose and wiped red, and he said a few words of modesty, but the smug look in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, his eyes flashed, Zheng Xingzhong was still a little uneasy, and a middle-aged man who rushed down asked, "Old Feng, are you sure that Zhang Yue's kid won't see any flaws after he arrives in Canglin Village?"
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng. As far as he is a little baby, how much knowledge he has seen, how can he know that the black bear will actually be a rare brute beast. Hearing the inquiry, the middle-aged old Feng replied with a smile.
"You know, how long has it been since something like a brute attack on the village has happened in our Zetong Township?"
"If it weren't for the experience passed down from our ancestors, through the traces left by the black bear, we wouldn't know that the black bear was a brute beast. We're all like that, let alone that kid. β
"Besides, this matter, there is also the governor of Canglin Village, Li Linshan and Li Brother to help cover it up...... Brother Li is his own person, and he has not dealt with us once or twice. In this way, Brother Zheng can rest assured. β
"Okay, I'll see how this kid Zhang Yue dies this time!" Zheng opened his heart, his eyes were full of resentment, and he poured a bowl of wine in a big gulp, and said hatefully.
This Zheng Kai has served as a messenger in Zetong Township for more than ten years, and in the past, he relied on his uncle who served as the county Zuo, and the Zheng family he was born in Zetong Township, which can be called a deep-rooted Zheng family, Zheng Kai has a high prestige in Zetong Township, and he does not think of a second person.
In Zheng Kai's opinion, Zetong Township's vacant position, no matter how reasonable, should have been his. As a result, the position of You Pay was obtained by Zhang Yueheng.
In this way, Zheng Kai naturally resented Zhang Yue.
Before, when there was a black bear attacking the village in Canglin Village, Zheng Kai and other messengers went to Canglin Village to investigate, and from the traces left by the black bear, they could distinguish that the black bear that attacked Canglin Village was not an ordinary beast, but a brute beast!
In this other world, just as there are warriors, warlocks and other powerful beings beyond ordinary people among humans, there are also powerful people who break through the limits of species among beasts.
Among these beasts, those with high intelligence are called demon beasts, and those with low intelligence are called brute beasts. Brute beasts are no longer something that ordinary people, or even ordinary warriors, can deal with.
It was precisely because of this resentment towards Zhang Yue's existence in his heart that when it was confirmed that the black bear that attacked Canglin Village was not an ordinary beast, but a brute beast, Zheng Kai had some different thoughts, he did not report it truthfully, but persuaded to bribe a cadre of errands, and reported the black bear attack on the village that happened in Canglin Village to the county according to the process of an ordinary beast attacking the village.
In the Da Geng Dynasty, once something like a beast attacking the village happened, the local tour was responsible for organizing the errand helpers, or the township Yong and other people to eradicate the evil beasts and maintain the safety of the township.
And if it is the existence of brute beasts, demon beasts and other things that ordinary people can't fight, the government will send another person to deal with it.
Zheng Kai reported the black bear attack on the village to the county according to the process of an ordinary beast attacking the village. At that time, this matter will naturally be paid by Zhang Yue, the newly appointed Zetong Township, and go to Canglin Village to deal with it.
In Zheng Kai's imagination, Zhang Yue is just a little doll, even if it is said that there are several warriors under him, and it is rumored that he killed the notorious Min Dou black tyrant, how strong can he be?
As long as Zhang Yue goes to hunt the brute black bear, he will not be sent to death!
When Zhang Yue died, Zetong Township was not in his pocket.
And in this regard, Zheng Kai and the others have long been ready, once Zhang Yue organizes them to hunt black bears, they will find an excuse to excuse themselves, they don't want to go hunting brute beasts with Zhang Yue to die.
This time, Zhang Yue led people to Canglin Village, and he didn't call them at all, but saved Zheng Kai and others a lot of tongue.
When Zhang Yue died because of hunting black bears, who would care if they misreported the brute beast as a wild beast? At that time, as long as they shirked the mistake of detection, they would have the protection of Anchang County Zuo and his family, and at most they would be blamed.
After all, Zhang Yue served as a tourist, but his qualifications were still too shallow, and his prestige was also insufficient.
