The boat was moored in the river, less than half a mile from the other side of the Yellow River, and the sunset water, the boat, and everyone turned golden red, and the woods on the other side of the Yellow River seemed to be burning with fire.

Zhang Huan looked at the side of the boat for a long time, and did not find anything abnormal, just now his personal guard Li Shuangyu came to tell him that a crew member found a black shadow in the river, Zhang Huan immediately ordered the personal guard to raise the vigilance.

At this moment, the vast Yellow River is empty above the water, only these two ferries, if there is really anything abnormal, it must be for Li or Zhang Ruohao, but Zhang Huan has a trace of doubt in his heart, making a fuss from the water, the probability of success is not high, he sent someone to kill Zhang Ruojin last time, and he was waiting for the opportunity to get off the boat.

Zhang Huan gradually calmed down, if he was a Li family, what would happen if he found someone assassinating? Stop, slow down, is that so? Zhang Huan seemed to understand the other party's intention, which was to disrupt the emperor's itinerary.

If this is the case, but I feel that the other party's means are not clever, if I do this kind of thing, I will definitely take advantage of the night to burn the ferry moored on the shore, or all the scuttle and sink to the bottom, wouldn't it be more effective.

"General, it's out again."

Li Shuangyu beside him hurriedly pulled Zhang Huan and quietly pointed to the river twenty steps away, a black shadow on the water was floating with the waves, looming, it was a person! It is a water ghost who comes out of the water to ventilate.

Zhang Huan did not hesitate to open his bow is an arrow, and the arrow went like a meteor. The sharp arrow pierced through the waves, nailing straight at the black shadow, and a cloud of blood came out of the water and quickly dispersed, and the black shadow disappeared with it.

"General, look!" Several sergeants shouted together, and saw a dozen black shadows appear on the surface of the water, and they quickly swam towards the shore.

"Shoot me the arrows!"

Zhang Huan's voice fell, and nearly 200 personal soldiers on the two boats rushed to the bow of the boat with steel crossbows and fired arrows into the river, these personal guards were the elite of the Tianqi Battalion. All of them are precise in archery, and the powerful crossbow arrows are 'whoosh!' 'Shot into the water, only a moment of effort, most of the black-clothed water ghosts died in the Yellow River. In the end, only two men climbed ashore and fled desperately towards the woods on the shore.

"General, get one." Several boatmen pulled up a fishing net, and in the net there was a man dressed in black. He was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, curled up in a ball, and lay shivering on the board.

Li Shuangyu stepped forward and tore off her mask, and suddenly smiled: "General." Still a very young woman. ”

"Got it, you take her down to ask for a confession."

Zhang Huan slowly walked in front of her and squatted down, sure enough, it was a young woman with a beautiful appearance. Just pale. There is not a trace of blood. He stood up and pointed at the woman and said coldly, "If she has the slightest lie, she will chop off my hands and feet and throw them into the river again." ”

.

Taiyuan Zhangfu. "Bang!" With a loud bang, Zhang Ruofeng slapped his hands on the table, he stood up, stared at Mrs. Wang on the opposite side and gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable!" Your Wang family wants to bring down our Zhang family, and you have resorted to such despicable means, all the money is approved by me, and I will bear the responsibility! ”

Mrs. Wang didn't get angry, she brushed her hair lightly, snorted coldly at Zhang Ruofeng's wife who was hiding outside the door with disdain, and said unhurriedly: "Third uncle, I have accounts here, and the money granted to the Wang family from you in the past ten years is a total of one million yuan, and I asked you to pay, and you obediently complied, what is the reason for this, do you and your sister-in-law have any shady deeds?" ”

"You slut!" Zhang Ruofeng's wife, who was hiding outside the door and eavesdropping, burst out with an angry roar, she picked up a broom, rushed in like a splash of wind, pointed at Mrs. Wang and scolded: "I have endured it for so many years, and today you actually ran to my house and admitted to yourself, I, I beat you to death." ”

After roaring, she picked up the broom and hit, but Mrs. Wang didn't move, she stared at Zhang Ruofeng with a smile, in the past ten years, she had already touched him inside and out.

Sure enough, Zhang Ruofeng jumped up all of a sudden, grabbed his wife by the waist, but she was strong and thick, Zhang Ruofeng couldn't stop her, the two fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the broom flew out more than two feet away.

"Do you really want to protect this slut?" Extremely, I couldn't help crying loudly.

"Okay, you're not going to make a fuss, it's not as simple as you think." Gotta sew her mouth shut.

"What a stupid woman!" Mrs. Wang stood up, looked at her and said coldly: "If you want your husband to die faster, then you can make trouble and cry, brother and sister, you have been eavesdropping outside, why are you only listening to half of the words?" ”

At this time, a deep voice came from the courtyard, "Not bad! It's really not that simple, so don't make trouble with your younger siblings. ”

The three of them looked back at the courtyard together, and at sunset, a tall fat man wearing a hat appeared at the door, and the butler stood behind him, the astonishment on his face had not yet disappeared.

When the three of them saw him slowly lift the hat, they were stunned, "Aren't you dead?" ”

The person who came was Zhang Ruojin, who was rumored to have fallen into the water and died.

Zhang Ruojin sneered, he turned back to the housekeeper and said, "Don't leak the news of my coming, otherwise I will kill you." ”

The butler's legs trembled, and he nodded and walked away in a panic.

Zhang Ruojin slowly walked into the house and said to Zhang Ruofeng's wife: "Brother and sister, you go down first!" I'll give you an explanation of this. ”

He had presided over a family meeting a few months ago, and naturally he also had prestige in the clan, Zhang Ruofeng's wife's lips moved, and she had to pick up the broom and go down.

Zhang Ruojin turned around and closed the door, the room suddenly dimmed, the atmosphere in the room seemed a little weird, he waved his hand slightly and said, "The two of you sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”

Seeing the two of them sitting down with doubts in their hearts, Zhang Ruojin smiled coldly and said, "Zhang Ruohao really wants to kill me, but I expect the enemy to come first, and the place of death is one of my entourage." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Sister-in-law." Don't mind if I say that about your husband! ”

Madame Wang shook her head, silent.

"Third brother, let me tell you another piece of news, Zhang Ruohao has given up the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites to Zhang Potian, and the approval of the Ministry of Rites has been issued."

"What!" As if a strong light hit his face, Zhang Ruofeng's eyes suddenly contracted into a line, the prime minister of the cabinet is the highest interest of Zhang Jiadi, and the eldest brother gave it up without the consent of the family, and it was Zhang Potian who they hated the most. A deep anger rushed out of his heart, and Zhang Ruofeng's clenched fists trembled slightly.

Zhang Ruojin patted his hand lightly and said, "So I came back regardless of my personal safety, just to make this matter clear in the clan." ”

At this, a sudden surge of anger welled up in his eyes. "Hateful! None of the clan rules could bind his decisions, and he thought he was the head of the family, so he could do whatever he wanted. ”

"No matter how head of the family is, you must ask for the consent of the family."

Zhang Ruofeng was already extremely angry, he trembled his lips and said, "If it harms the fundamental interests of the Zhang family." Such a head of the household must be abolished. ”

"Yes! I think so, too, that the time has come to abolish the land. With a hint of a yin smile, he took a letter from his arms and pushed it to Zhang Ruofeng. Zhang Ruofeng tore open the cover with trembling hands, his hand was a little heavier, and he tore off one edge of the letterhead inside.

Zhang Ruofeng hurriedly opened the letter. Suddenly, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head. He froze

The letter was actually written by the eldest brother. The content in it was for him to allocate 400,000 yuan to the Shannan Wang family, and Zhang Ruofeng looked at it carefully. That's right! It is indeed the handwriting of the eldest brother, and there is also the seal of the eldest brother below, and many of the eldest brother's habitual movements are exactly the same, and the letterhead has been yellowed, apparently written a few years ago.

The handwriting may be impersonated, but this seal is real, a unique seal of the Ministry of Rites, and this letter is also dedicated to the Ministry of Rites, with a number printed on it.

How is this possible? Zhang Ruofeng understood as soon as he thought about it, this can only be done by those who are in power, and who this person is is is already about to be revealed.

"Who told you to do this?" After a while, he suddenly looked at Zhang Ruojin coldly, "Is it Cui Yuan?" ”

"Third brother, you can't say that, it doesn't matter who does it, it's our family's interests, Zhang Ruoho gave the cabinet position to Zhang Potian without authorization, can you tolerate it? Choi Sang-sang cannot tolerate it, so our interests are consistent on this point. ”

"Our Zhang family and Cui Yuan will have the same interests?"

Zhang Ruofeng shook his head slowly, he had completely calmed down, Zhang Ruojin suddenly appeared, things are not so simple, he has most likely been bought by Cui Yuan.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Second brother, forgive me for not being able to promise you for the time being, the stakes are very high, and I have to think about it carefully." ”

Zhang Ruojin's eyelids closed slightly, glanced at him and said coldly: "Third brother, then you can do it yourself!" ”

.

In the middle of the night, a carriage drove rapidly through the street, turned right, and turned into a narrow alley, and after about a hundred paces, the carriage stopped in front of a small door.

After a while, after making sure that there was no one following behind, the carriage door opened, Zhang Ruojin, who was wearing a hat, got down from the carriage, knocked on the door, the door opened a crack, Zhang Ruojin took out an iron card, shook it at the crack of the door, and then flashed into the small door.

Zhang Ruojin was introduced into a hut, there was no light in the house, a young female Taoist priest was staring at the moon outside the window with her hands in her hands, the bright moon was not yet full, the moonlight was like light blue flowing water, pouring on her face, as if the jade was crystal clear, she did not have a little human breath on her body, just like the fairy of the Moon Palace lost in the world.

Zhang Ruojin stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Mr. Li, the lower official has returned from Zhang's mansion."

Although he is a fourth-grade assassin, he can't afford to put on an official stand in front of her, not only Cui Yuan ordered to absolutely obey her command, but also because this woman is extremely vicious, she doesn't blink when she kills people, and as soon as she arrives in Taiyuan, she kills five masters of the Xiangyang Worship Hall who despise her.

"Did the two of them agree to work together?" Li Chuanyun asked lightly.

"Wang Yanluo is not a big problem, mainly Zhang Ruofeng, and it can be seen that he is quite prejudiced against Xiangguo."

"It's not prejudice, but he knows it very well in his heart, what about the letter?"

The other party's fierce gaze made dense beads of sweat begin to appear on Zhang Ruojin's forehead, and Zhang Ruofeng refused to return the letter to him, he asked for it afterwards, but Zhang Ruofeng said that it had been torn up, and he said with a little weakness: "The letter has been torn up by him on the spot." ”

"Really?" Li Chuanyun stared at him, a little disbelieving and asked, "Did you see him tear with your own eyes?" ”

A kind of shame of being interrogated strongly stimulated Zhang Ruojin, his waist suddenly straightened, and he said coldly: "Five years ago, the old man was Dali Siqing, and now I am the dignified Shangjun Assassin, I won't even ask Xiangguo when I speak, Miss Li, how old are you?" ”

Li Chuanyun didn't answer him, she smiled arrogantly, slowly walked to the desk and picked up the letter on it and said: "The only thing I don't dare to question is Cui Xiangguo, even this kind of letter was prepared in two copies a few years ago, this kind of foresight is admirable." ”

When Zhang Ruojin heard that there was another letter, he breathed a sigh of relief, and softened his tone: "Then give me this letter!" ”

Li Chuanyun glanced at him contemptuously, she pulled the string next to her, and a thin man stepped in, "See Mr. Li!" ”

"You take this letter to Zhang Ruofeng's room and let him commit suicide in fear of sin!"

Zhang Ruojin was shocked and hurriedly stopped: "Zhang's mansion is heavily guarded at night, and outsiders can't enter at all." ”

Li Chuanyun glanced at him coldly, "With you, can't you still get in?" ”
