It was early in the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang's Grange, or Zhangjiabao, retains the style of a dock fort, and in the relatively stable south of the Yangtze River, at least on the surface, it is impregnable and difficult to capture...... It wasn't too late, and it was still silent when the townspeople, who were accustomed to waking up early, had already gone to work in the fields, and it seemed that they had not yet woken up.

When the porter heard a knock on the door outside, he hurriedly got up from the bed, stretched, walked out of the door, knocked on the place where the guards were resting, and then walked to the door, and said in the innermost, "Come, come......"

Took out the key, opened the door, and a group of imposing burly men appeared in front of him.

"You...... Who are you looking for? The porter was frightened and stammered inquiring.

As far as his gaze goes, there is a group of tall men, dressed a little simply, but much better than ordinary county citizens, in addition, behind the tall men in front of him, there are two or three Taoists in Taoist robes, of different ages, some big and some young.

The panicked voice of the porter reached inside, and before the people at the door could speak, four guards ran out of the dock fort, their clothes were not yet dressed, but they were holding weapons in their hands, and they looked quite nervous: "Who are you?" ”

"We are the citizens of Huiji County, and behind us is the Taoist of Heshouguan, who came to find Zhang Lu and Zhang Jinjue!" The leading big man said viciously, "He kidnapped the master of the Crane Shou Temple, but now he can't find him everywhere!" Say! Is he hiding in your Zhangjiabao? ”

"How do we know?" The porter was a little dazed, but the guards next to him were not slow, and one of them turned around and ran into the dock fort, probably to call someone.

The group of big men outside the door knew that they were going to call people, and they were not afraid, protecting the Taoists, standing outside the door, as if waiting for the guards to call people.

After a while, a handsome and handsome young man came out, also dressed in Taoist robes, but in terms of the quality of the cloth, it was obviously better than the Taoist behind the big man. ”

The person known as Zixu Gongzi walked slowly, nodded to the porter, and then said to the group of people outside: "Are you looking for Zhang Jinjue?" He's not here now. ”

"Not here? Hmph, then he's from the Zhang family...... Since he is a member of the Zhang family, then you should be able to call the shots, could it be said that the current children of the family have changed careers and become thieves, specializing in kidnapping Taoist temples? The big man frowned coldly, and suddenly realized, and said, "Zixu Gongzi, could it be Zhang Zixu Zhang Xuanzhi?" ”

"It's me, as for Zhang Jinjue's matter, it can indeed be solved here, but you have to make things clear." Zhang Xuanzhi said lightly, his eyes swept over the big man and the Taoist, and after a while, he smiled, "Heshouguan, I haven't heard of this Taoist, but looking at your appearance, it shouldn't be an evolutionary Taoist, right?" ”

"What about the Evolutionary Daoists, can you just kidnap people casually?" A dark-skinned Taoist said.

"Who is the person who was kidnapped?" Zhang Xuanzhi frowned, at this time, there were people walking around outside, and they seemed to be attracted by this place, looking at it from a distance, after all, the group of people outside was menaceous, and it was not a good thing to look at it.

"The Year of the Deer, the Year of the Deer! We are the contemplators of the Crane Shou Temple. ”

"It's someone who has never heard of a name, shouldn't you make up such a story to smear my Zhang family?" Zhang Xuanzhi's face became gloomy, "Go inside and say." ”

"Don't go...... What is apocryphal? Your Zhang family kidnapped us to watch the Lord, and now they even bite us back and say that we are making it up, and let us go in and say, if you go in, you can force us and make us shut up-" Before the Taoists could speak, those big men began to make noise, which immediately attracted the attention of outsiders, and some people even came over, "Everyone gives us a ...... of comment"

"Enough of you!" Zhang Xuanzhi was obviously angry, "Zhang Jinjue kidnapped your viewer, is there any evidence?" When and where did it happen? ”

"If we knew, would we still come to Zhangjiabao to ask for someone?"

"That's slander!"

The noise here not only spread outside, attracting a lot of onlookers, but also the inside of Zhangjiabao was also understood, but it did not appear, but when Zhang Xuanzhi was obviously angry, a group of guards came out from inside, bypassed Zhang Xuanzhi and walked in front of the big man and the Taoist.

The leading guard said: "Zhang Jinjue is not in Zhangjiabao, he has already moved out to live. ”

"And where is he now?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know? He is a disciple of your Zhang family, you say you don't know! Then my family has been kidnapped by you so inexplicably? The black and thin Taoist seemed to be very atmospheric, and the big man in front of him stepped forward to theorize, "Can the Zhang family bully people casually...... If you don't send the Lord back, I'm ...... We'll report to the police! ”

Before the escort leader could speak, Zhang Xuanzhi behind him sneered: "Then go and report to the official, a group of stupid people!" He shook off his shirt and turned to leave.

The Taoists and the big men trembled and looked at the escort leader, but the master said that he had reported to the official at will, and the escort leader didn't dare to say more, but just closed the door hard.

Bang!

Only the Taoists and the big men were left with a desolate face.

……

Zhangjiabao, a courtyard, is a little remote, a delicate woman walked out of it and walked head-on to Zhang Xuanzhi, who was walking back angrily.

"Brother, what are those people out there going to do, why are you so angry?" The woman asked worriedly.

Zhang Xuanzhi's face was still gloomy: "The group of people outside said that Zhang Jinjue kidnapped the master of Heshou Temple, a Taoist of the Evolutionary Sect, I have never heard of this name, and they kept saying that they wanted the Zhang family to hand over the real person in the Year of the Deer, and if they didn't hand it over, they would report to the official!" Outrageous! ”

"Cousin Jinjue?" The woman was stunned, "How could he be so impulsive!" ”

Zhang Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows and stared at the woman, his eyes scrutinizing, "Do you know about this?" Could it be true? ”

"I, I just heard him mention that in his abode, there is a Taoist who keeps an eye on him, as if he is called ...... Ding Lu Nian, that's all I know, and I haven't seen him in the past few days. The woman was a little flustered, "Maybe he started to tie up that person in advance, but I remember that he said that he was a casual cultivator, why has he become the master of the Crane Shou Temple now?" ”

The temperature in the early morning was still a little cold, but I didn't know if the woman's gently trembling body was cold or worried.

"Do you know where Zhang Jinjue lives now?" Zhang Xuanzhi asked.

"Yes."

"Then I'll go and tell my uncle about this first, and you will wait in your courtyard." Zhang Xuanzhi thought for a while and said, "When I come back, take me to Zhang Jinjue." (To be continued.) )
