Zhang Xigao sat in the hall, but his face was very ugly.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he Zhang Xigao is an old fox in the court, and he is a speech official who specializes in catching people's faults and making small reports, what is wrong with Zhang Nayan, he can see it at a glance.

It is not easy to invite Langzhong in the village, but fortunately, Zhang Xigao himself has seen a lot of medical skills, and he also has some skills, so he helped to visit the doctor, but after all, he found nothing, Zhang Na's words were unknown, and he couldn't say why, Zhang Xigao was very anxious.

He is such a son, and he is still an old son, he can't wait to be a pearl in his palm, and he can't wait to put it in his mouth.

It is precisely because he feels sorry for this son that he did not let his son take the imperial examination, although he is a gossip official, but he is not a clean sleeve, he already has food and clothing, there is no need to let his son go to the court to take risks.

The son was very resistant earlier, often shouting that he wanted to take the exam, and said that he would take his father as the standard, and he would speak up in the court like his father, and he would be righteous and awe-inspiring, and he would seek well-being for the common people in the world.

But I don't know when my son never mentioned this matter anymore, but took out the money to set up a school in the village.

This made Zhang Xigao feel very gratified, although the current scholars regard the imperial examination as the only way to become an official and a way to change their lives, but Zhang Xigao does not want his son to help the world, but hopes that he can be alone.

In addition to being an official, if a scholar wants to make a career, he can only do learning, but doing learning is a thankless task.

But at least it has created a reputation in the literary world, and this reputation will snowball bigger and bigger, many people are becoming more and more famous because they write very well, and some people are becoming more and more famous, and what they write is becoming more and more "good".

This is also the reason why so many people are mixed in the literary world, they may not be able to pass the examination, but they continue to participate in literary gatherings, or write some articles and the like, even if it is grandstanding.

When they gradually gained influence in the literary world, their writings also gained fans, which was not a way for literati.

And one of the key ones, and the best way to accumulate fame, is to run a school!

Many squires or large families with little education like to build schools as a way to be elegant, although the purpose is obvious, but the effect has to be admitted to be surprisingly good.

Because whether it is fame or fame, or vassal elegance, in essence, this matter has benefited the villagers and allowed more people to get the opportunity to receive education, whether his purpose is pure or not, he has done a great deed, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, Zhang Xigao is very supportive of Zhang Nayan's school, and even took out his own savings to fund his son's school.

But what makes Zhang Xigao feel strange is that his son Zhang Nayan did not accept his father's help, the school was built with the help of the villagers, and these people even abandoned their family work when they were busy farming, in order to build this school as soon as possible.

The villagers went up to the mountains to cut down wood, and the village carpenters made tables and chairs, and everything in the school was taken from the people and used for the people.

Zhang Xigao saw this, and even regretted it a little, if he let his son enter the officialdom, would he do better than himself, and would he achieve greater achievements?

Because he saw the temperament of a leader in his own son!

can regret and regret, in the end, he has seen through the officialdom, even if he is like Zhang Juzheng, what if the clouds and rain are overturned, and in the end, he was not liquidated by Emperor Wanli?

In this way, he finally let go of such thoughts, and Zhang Xigao was also very pleased to see his son Zhang Nayan gradually expand his influence and be loved and supported by the villagers.

But now?

The son suddenly became stupid, this stupidity does not mean that he has lost his mind, but it is a little weird, it seems that the son has just become lazy.

Zhang Xigao couldn't say why, his son still went to lecture as usual, and everything was normal, but when he got home, he fell asleep and couldn't raise the interest in talking.

Seeing that his son did not have fever and other symptoms, Zhang Xigao was relieved in the end, young people are not in a good mood sometimes, so there is no need to worry.

But today, that damn Li Mi came again, sitting in his house, and Zhang Xigao also made Li Mi a cup of tea!

It's not that he looks at Li Mi again, but Li Mi has solved the mystery in his heart!

The changes in his son are seen in his father's eyes bit by bit, Zhang Xigao is not only pleased, but also aware of the inappropriateness, such as the almost obsessive worship of these villagers, obeying their son's words, and even some villagers are willing to dedicate their wives to Zhang Nayan!

Although Zhang Nayan is not that kind of person, it is enough to explain the problem!

And after Li Mi explained everything about Taiping Dao clearly, everything can be explained!

Zhang Xigao knew very well in his heart that Li Mi didn't need to lie to him, but he still didn't understand why Li Mi wanted to find his family, let alone what Li Mi's intentions were.

According to Li Mi's statement, Zhang Nayan was caught in the evil law of Taiping Dao and was controlled by the evil law, and he was sluggish and dementia in the past few days, which is injured by the evil law, if he is not relieved in time, he is afraid that he will leave sequelae in the future!

Zhang Xigao doesn't believe in any evil law, but Li Mi said that Taiping Dao is just pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, and the so-called evil law is nothing more than poisoning and poisoning, as long as the source can be found, it will not be difficult to solve.

Zhang Xigao has no reason not to believe Li Mi, because what Li Mi said is indeed reasonable, but he still can't explain why Li Mi came to this village?

"Master Li, you better tell the old man the truth, the old man has been a science and Taoist official for most of his life, and he has always had something to say, and the last thing he can do is to beat around the bush, and you don't have to hide anything from me."

The reason why Li Mi mentioned Zhang Nayan was also to get the opportunity to have a good talk with Zhang Xigao, if there was no trouble with Zhang Nayan, Zhang Xigao would not have compromised.

At this time, Zhang Xigao took the initiative to ask, and Li Mi no longer hid it.

"Can Zhang Kedao know Qi Shuai's righteous son Qi Yin?"

Zhang Xigao heard Qi Jiguang's name, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, because Li Mi had come over before, and he had questioned and ridiculed him with Qi Jiguang's matter.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the impeachment of Qi Jiguang has become a stain on his life that Zhang Xigao can't erase no matter how much he can't erase, and it is also the reason why he quit the court, but he Zhang Xigao feels that he is just performing his duties and doing his duty.

If it is ordinary, he will inevitably contradict, after all, quarreling is his job, and it is what he is best at.

But now he still has to rely on Li Mi to save his son Zhang Nayan, and Zhang Xigao endures it.

"Qi Yin is indeed brave and good at fighting, but he just acted without authorization, regardless of the overall situation, Qi Jiguang beheaded him, it is understandable, this matter is indeed worthy of admiration."

"This is human life, there is nothing to admire or not admire, and the point I want to say is not this."

Li Mi does have a lot of respect for Qi Shuai, but Li Mi really doesn't have any admiration for the killing of his righteous son Qi Yin, maybe this is also the reason why Qi Shuai can be famous through the ages, but others can't.

Zhang Xigao thought that changing his attitude towards Qi Jiguang would make Li Mi happier and be able to shorten the distance between the two, but he didn't expect to get such cold words from Li Mi, and he was a little depressed in his heart.

Li Mi didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, he didn't come to make friends with Zhang Xigao, just because it was too difficult to set up defenses and ambushes outside, and he just wanted to point to the heart.

This village is leaking on all sides, even if Li Mi and the others go all out, they can't plug the gap, if they can set up an ambush in Zhang's house, it will save too much effort.

But this requires Zhang Xigao's cooperation, which is why Li Mi never tires of coming to talk to this old man.

"Qi Yin also has an orphan, named Qi Changkong, who originally wanted to take revenge on the Qi family's army, but later changed his mind, and is bound to maintain the prestige of the Qi family, and now he has killed Zhang Dingsi, if there is no accident, the next target is you, Zhang Xigao."

Zhang Xigao was also shocked when he heard this, the descendants of the Qi family are all dragons and phoenixes among people, even if they live among the people, they can get ahead, a peerless general like Qi Yin, if he really has a son, I am afraid that as Li Mi said, killing people will not blink and not frown!

Especially when he heard that Zhang Dingsi had been killed, Zhang Xigao was even more panicked, because when he impeached Qi Jiguang, wasn't he influenced by Zhang Dingsi?

No one knows better than him how much pain and hatred his actions to Qi Jiguang will bring to the Qi family, but after being rehabilitated, Qi Jiguang's son inherited the official title of Dengzhou commander, and the other sons also graced the position of Jinyiwei commander, which can be regarded as making up for it.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xigao feels a little better, but who would have thought that there would be a son of Qi Yin!

"How did Master Li know?" Although Zhang Xigao was flustered in his heart, after all, he was an old man in the court, and at this time, he also beat his spirit and raised his own questions.

Li Mi immediately replied: "Because this official has been chasing the thieves of Taiping Dao, and this Qi Changkong is one of them, after this official learned that he killed Zhang Dingsi, he speculated that it would be your turn next, so he came to set up an ambush in advance, in order to intercept this person!" ”

"He is the elite of Taiping Dao, as long as Zhang Kedao cooperates with us and waits, and ambushes and takes down this person, he will be able to detoxify Ling Gongzi, even if Zhang Kedao does not spare his life, he should consider Ling Gongzi, right?"

When Zhang Xigao heard this, he also sat down in a daze, and muttered to himself: "If you come to take revenge, kill me, kill me, it's just my poor child......"

Zhang Xigao lowered his head in the end, and it took a long time before he asked Li Mi: "What do you want the old man to do?" ”

Li Mi saw his expression, and he was also relieved.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to set up ambushes on the periphery, even if Zhang Xigao was put aside, this matter could actually be done, anyway, people like Zhang Xigao, even if they died, Li Mi would not pity them.

Of course, this is also what Li Mi thought earlier, but now that he thinks about it, in the end, it is a human life, if he can save it, he will save it.

Although Qi Shuai did not get the respect he deserved in the last stage of his life, Zhang Xigao was not guilty to death, even if he was really guilty of not being punished, he should not be executed by Li Mi, or perhaps, Zhang Xigao was condemned by his conscience day and night, and such a punishment may be even more difficult.

In any case, Zhang Xigao agreed, Li Mi and the others could finally enter the Zhang family justifiably, and create a net around the Zhang family, Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong would not be able to escape if they came!

Thinking like this, Li Mi also looked at the south, hoping that Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong would arrive sooner!
