Chapter 116: Targeting the Cause

Li Dayi, Li Gao and others immediately stood in front of Li Chengji. Although she didn't say anything, her hand had reached into the cloth bag around her waist. Lee Seung-ji knew that there was poison there. His heart warmed, and he looked at Zhang Timing with cold eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Zhiqin was also anxious. hurriedly blocked Li Chengji and the others, and explained: "Qin'er swears to the true Lord!" If there is even the slightest falsehood, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky. ”

"You ---", Zhang Timing was a little angry.

"Huh! Lord Zhang, you should believe it now, right? ", Li Chengji said sarcastically.

Zhang Timing didn't reply, only waved his hand and let the guards leave. The flower hall, which was still tense just now, also had a slightly relieved atmosphere.

"Sir! Li Gongzi is not only kind to Qin'er, but also a guest of Zhang's Mansion. The previous grievances should be put aside for the time being. The beautiful woman who looked seven points similar to Zhang Zhiqin knew that Zhang Timing had lost face, and immediately persuaded her. is also Zhang Xinglu was not born by ****, so his temperament is not big.

"Humph! Let the people in the dining room prepare the meals! Zhang Timing frowned a little impatiently, and said loudly: "Qin'er, you go to the study with your father!" ”。 After that, he was the first to leave the flower hall.

After he left, **** came to Li Chengji and gave a salute.

"Hey! Mrs. Zhang, what are you doing here?! Li Chengji saw the relationship between **** and Zhang Zhiqin, and hurriedly helped him.

"No problem! This gift is to thank Li Gongzi for saving Qin'er! ”。

"Mother!" , Zhang Zhiqin was a little reluctant.

immediately tapped Zhang Zhiqin's forehead and said, "You girl!" Why don't you know how to be polite?! Li Gongzi saved you, and it is appropriate to give your mother a big gift. ”。

"Dad is still waiting in the study, I'll retreat first." , Zhang Zhiqin had a black face, and left the flower hall without finishing her words.

Immediately sneered, and left.

may have been instructed by ****, and it didn't take long for the next person to come in with dried fruits such as melon seeds and hazelnuts, as well as all kinds of pastries. Everyone also made tea at hand.

After eating and drinking like this for a while, the meal was ready. They moved to a marble-covered hall for dining. The inside is a geometric ornament, revealing a sense of subtlety.

Although Li Chengji has not seen the entire Zhang Mansion, judging from the new decoration and luxurious and exquisite home, Zhang Timing obviously has plans to live here for a long time.

In this way, he is also a little more sure of the matter of settling Gurion.

However, Zhang Timing seemed to be too unkind to see Li Chengji, and he didn't show up from beginning to end during the meal. That ****, that is, the third lady came to say a few polite words. But because of the identity of the female dependent, it is not easy to sit down.

But Li Chengji can't care if Zhang Timing treats him or not. After drinking and eating, he went straight to Uncle Zhang. said that he had something important to do and discussed with Zhang Timing. and revealed intentionally or unintentionally that the matter was related to the court.

Sure enough, after a while, Uncle Zhang responded that Zhang Timing was waiting in the study.

So under the leadership of Uncle Zhang, he walked through the small garden and came to the study of Zhang's mansion.

"What's the matter, say?" , Zhang Timing didn't even look at Li Chengji, drank tea by himself, and said coldly.

You're welcome, Li Chengji found a chair by himself, sat down and said, "It's not a big deal!" It's just that my father is worried about Master Zhang's illness and asked me to stop by and take a look. ”。

"Ahem, cough, cough...", Zhang Timing didn't take a sip of tea, choking and rolling his eyes.

Li Chengji immediately held back a smile and pretended to ask Zhang Timing if there was anything wrong.

After a long time, Zhang Timing relieved his breath and said with a red face: "The old man is committed to this, and he is really helpless." After taking a sip of tea, his face improved a lot, and then said: "The doctor has a saying, the old man's lungs are hindered, and he can't see the dust." Otherwise, you will cough and worry about your life. ”。

"Oh! This is a serious illness! Li Chengji said with deep thought: "But Master Zhang doesn't need to be in a hurry!" This time I went to Puhua, and my father had already asked the saint to let Sun Langzhong accompany him. He is the imperial physician of the court, and no matter what kind of incurable disease, he can prescribe the right medicine. I believe that with his diagnosis, Mr. Zhang will be able to recover as soon as possible. ”。

As he spoke, he pretended to sigh again: "The post of supervisor of Khorezm has been vacant for a long time. If there is no one who is watching, it is impossible to say that Khorezm will have a heart of disobedience. Therefore, the sooner Lord Zhang goes to work, the sooner the saint can rest assured. ”。

Hearing this, Zhang Timing already understood what Li Chengji meant. It is of little use to know that it is useless to pretend to be sick again. With a cold face, he said in a deep voice: "Does Li Zhongshu really want to kill Zhang so much?" ”。

In fact, above the court, not all people are confused. The rise of Khorezm is also in the eyes of others. In addition, since Mahamat succeeded to the throne, he has repeatedly disrespected the eunuchs. It is easy to foresee that Mahamat rebelled against Da Liao.

Before that, it was not without precedent. Mahamat's father once killed the eunuch of Da Liao against the Tianwei of Da Liao.

Therefore, for the sake of his own life, Zhang Timing was extremely reluctant to go to Khorezm.

Li Chengji is not a fool who doesn't know anything, and he knows Zhang Timing's concerns. And through Xiao Zi's historical materials, he also knew that it would not be long before Khorezm would challenge the majesty of Da Liao. The prison officer sent to Khorezm has indeed become the ghost of Mahamat's sword.

He responded: "Master Zhang is too worried!" My father is just worried about the saint, how could he deliberately put Master Zhang in a desperate situation. Seeing that Zhang Timing's face was getting colder and colder, Li Chengji felt that the heat was almost the same, and his tone changed again, and he said loudly: "Actually, Master Zhang's illness is not difficult to treat. It's hard to say, it's not hard to say. ”。

Whether it was to visit Zhang Timing's illness on the way, or to ask the imperial doctor of the DPRK and China for diagnosis and treatment, he was fooling people. The main purpose is to let Zhang Timing explain the matter of Gurion.

As a figure who has been in the officialdom for many years, Zhang Timing immediately understood what Li Chengji meant. Just looking at Li Chengji's age, he was slightly in a trance. If he hadn't experienced Li Chengji's power before, he would never have believed it. A young man who is only a young man dancing a spoon will say such an old-fashioned thing.

"If you don't know it, what is the incurable way?" , Zhang Timing squinted his eyes and said meaningfully.

Seeing that he was so good, Li Chengji did not beat around the bush. Tell the story of Gurion, let him explain it and deal with it in the best possible way.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Timing made a guarantee. As soon as possible, the governor of Puhua City and the Burhan family will return the embezzled property to Gurion. As for the motives against Gurion, there is not a word.

Li Chengji expected that this matter was related to Mahmut Tebai, so he used his vague speculation to blow him up. Zhang Timing believed it and finally spoke. It is Mahmut Tebai who is operating the reinstatement, so it needs a lot of money to deal with the relations between the DPRK and China. And Gurion was the leading wealthy merchant in Da Liao, so he wanted to take enough money from him.
