Chapter 33 The treacherous Zhang Ermao

At the north gate of Bian Wangcheng, nearly 100 officers and soldiers wearing light chain mail and auspicious cloud helmets lined up on both sides, and the spears in their hands flashed with a little cold light. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info dozens of officers and soldiers, under the leadership of a city defender, carefully checked the people who passed by.

"Zhang has seen the owner of Cangzhuang" The general who guarded the city took a few steps forward and came to the Cangbei Mountain Horse, clasped his fists, and said with a kind face. This person is about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a high straight nose, and thick lips. looks upright, but there is a hint of treachery in his eyes, and looking at him makes people feel cold. He was wearing fish scale armor, wearing a head-swallowing helmet, a treasure knife hanging from his side, and a token to open and close the city gate was tied around his right waist, needless to say that this person was Zhang Ermao, the city gate guard.

"General Zhang is polite." Cangbeishan turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted back.

"I don't know where the owner of Cangzhuang got rich from?" Zhang Ermao looked at the people behind Cangbei Mountain, looked at the carriage a few more times, and asked with a smile, the dress of the people in Cangyun Hunting Servant Village is very easy to identify, and Zhang Ermao naturally knows which people are from the Cang family.

"I can't talk about making a fortune, I was entrusted to pick up two distinguished guests some time ago, and I just came back." Cang Beishan said with a smile, fortunately, Zhang Ermao didn't know that Cang Beishan had already entered and exited Bian Wang City last night and early morning, otherwise he would definitely be confused.

"Pick up someone? Cangyun Hunter Village is also doing escort trading now? Zhang Ermao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Business is not easy to do now, as long as it does not violate the laws of the imperial court to give money, we Cangyun Hunting Maid Village will do everything, and we always need some warm oil and water in our stomachs, and we can't stand eating steamed buns all the time." Cangbeishan joked. "And the two escorts this time are also friends of acquaintances."

Zhang Ermao also cheered: "Lord Cangzhuang said the best, no matter what the reason, we must not do anything that violates the laws of the imperial court." No, Gu Feng, the great general of the dynasty, committed the crime of treason. has been given to death in the northwest, the Gu family and the mother did not obey the order, absconded in fear of crime, and now all states and counties are wanted and arrested. ”

Hearing Zhang Ermao's words, Cangbeishan nodded and stepped forward and whispered, "When we settled down at the Bafang Inn, we had already heard about it. At first, I didn't believe it, but after reading the big seal on the wanted notice, I believed it. Alas, you said that this is really impermanence, what a good person Gu Daren is, he actually ended up like this. ”

"Hey, Master Cangzhuang, the word 'good' can no longer be used on the ancient family, whether they are wronged or not, whether they are lost or not, is not something we can discuss." Zhang Ermao also whispered back, he had been observing Cangbie Mountain, if Fang Cai Cangbie Mountain pretended not to know about the Gu family, then he would be very suspicious. After all, as long as you go to a place where there are people, you will definitely hear some rumors. Cangbei Mountain's performance slightly reduced Zhang Ermao's suspicions, but it did not completely reduce them.

"Yes, yes, General Zhang is right." Cangbeishan nodded back, his tone full of gratitude for Zhang Ermao's reminder.

"Lord Cangzhuang, the wanted notice of the imperial court is posted on the wall, according to the instructions of the city lord, anyone who enters and leaves Bian Wang City must check and confirm his identity, you see ......" Zhang Ermao pointed to the wanted notice posted on the city wall, and arched his hand and said.

"That's how it should be, please General Zhang search at will." Cangbeishan's face was deeply righteous.

"In this way, thank you to the owner of Cangzhuang." Zhang Ermao turned his head and said to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Check it out as soon as possible, don't delay the business of the owner of Cangzhuang." ”

"Yes!" Dozens of officers and soldiers quickly stepped forward, holding the portraits of Wan and Gu Tianying in their hands, and carefully proofread them in front of the people in Cangyun Hunting Maid Village.

A young officer and soldier were a little stunned for a while when they saw Cang Ziling's beautiful appearance.

"Hey, have you seen enough? Do you want this girl to help you gouge out your eyeballs and stick them on the soles of my feet, so that you can enjoy watching them every day? Cang Ziling squinted her eyes and asked kindly.

"No, no, no." The officer and soldier hurriedly turned around and walked back, came to the carriage and looked up at Shunfu, and was startled by Chu Xilai's appearance, came to the carriage in a sweat, lifted the curtain and looked at it, and shouted loudly to Zhang Ermao: "General, there are two masked women in this car." ”

"What are you shouting, you scared grandpa and me!" Chu Xianlai on the side sat upright on his horse, stared down at one eye, and looked at the young officer and soldier viciously.

This frightened the officer and soldier so much that he took several steps back, and almost peed his pants.

Zhang Ermao frowned, turned his head to look at Cangbei Mountain: "Master Cangzhuang, the two women on the carriage are the people you want to escort this time?" ”

"Exactly." Cangbeishan nodded and said.

Zhang Ermao is a character who sees people and talks about ghosts, and knows that behind Cangbei Mountain there is not only Cangyun Hunting Maid Village, but also the support of Qingmen, so he said in a turn of his mind: "This investigation is very important, if there is a mistake, not only you and me, but even the city lord will be difficult to get rid of." The owner of Cangzhuang was entrusted to escort the two women, and he must not know too much about the identities of these two people, can he ask the two to get out of the car and let Zhang check it? We have our own explanations. ”

Speaking of this, it would be a little inappropriate for Cangbeishan to use Qingmen to suppress people again, so he nodded and said: "It's no problem to ask the two girls to get off, but if General Zhang wants to see the faces of the two girls, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Oh? Why? Zhang Ermao's eyes narrowed.

"Please ask the two girls to get out of the car first, and General Zhang will know at a glance." After Cangbeishan finished speaking, he asked the girl to get out of the car, Cang Ziling turned over and dismounted and came to the front of the car, and helped Gu Tianying and Wan, who were tightly covered, down.

As soon as Zhang Ermao saw the dress of the two, he knew that it was not easy to do. He served as a city gate guard in Bian Wangcheng, who had never seen it, so he naturally knew the clothes of the women of the Gangli tribe, and also knew the rules of the Gangli tribe for women.

"General Zhang, these two are girls from the Gangli clan who have just reached adulthood and are not married, so Fang Cai Cang said that the general wants to see the faces of the two, I'm afraid it won't work." Cangbeishan explained.

"Master Cangzhuang, your task can make it difficult for Zhang to live a good life." Zhang Ermao knew that there were two options for the girl of the Lili clan to be seen clearly by the man. And if a man forcibly takes off the veil of a girl from the Gangli tribe, there are two results, the first is to use all his resources to get the girl to marry him, and everyone is happy. Second, once the girl decides not to marry for life, and it can be proved that the man forcibly took off her veil, then the man will be hunted down by the entire Gangli clan. Zhang Ermao knew that he couldn't let the two girls take off their veils willingly, and he couldn't resist the revenge of the entire Gangli clan. And he couldn't just let the two of them go, so he was very embarrassed.

"General Zhang doesn't have to be embarrassed, Cang is sure that these two people are not fugitives from the Gu family." Cangbeishan said firmly: "When I took over this transaction a month ago, the Gu family had not had an accident, and these two girls had already received it half a month ago, so they were definitely not fugitives from the Gu family. ”

"Master Cangzhuang, it's not that Zhang doesn't believe you, it's really about Zhang's head, if I don't verify the identities of these two people today, I'll let you into the city privately. Once something goes wrong, after Zhang's head hits the ground, the first place the court goes to is your Cangyun Hunting Merchant Village. When you have no evidence, who will believe you? Zhang Ermao said bitterly: "Verifying the true bodies of the two girls is good for us." ”

"General Zhang, these two people are from the Gangli clan, you don't need to say much about Cang, you also know the rules of the Gangli clan, if you have the ability to persuade the two girls to take off their veils today, Cang will naturally not stop them. But if the two girls are unwilling, General Zhang can't come hard, you have the support of the city lord, and you are not afraid of the revenge of the Gangli clan. Cang doesn't have the courage, if the villain blames me for not protecting me well, my Cang family will be in trouble. Cangbei Mountain said softly and hardly.

"Hehehe." The more Zhang Ermao listened to Cangbeishan's words, the more he felt that there was a problem with the identities of these two women of the Gangli clan, his eyes turned to his heart, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry about the owner of Cangzhuang, Zhang really doesn't have the ability to let the two girls take off the veil for me, but Zhang has a way, not only can he verify the identities of the two girls, but also not offend the entire Gangli clan." ”

When Cangbeishan heard this, his heart tightened. He knew that Zhang Ermao was extremely cunning, and he must have an idea when he said this. However, Cangbei Mountain on the side of the table still looked unbelievable, looked at Zhang Ermao and said: "Oh, if General Zhang really has the best of both worlds, Cang is grateful." ”

"Okay, Master Cangzhuang will take a look from the side." After saying that, Zhang Ermao whispered a few words to his subordinates on the side, and the officer and soldier nodded and turned around and ran towards the city. Zhang Ermao pressed the treasure knife under his rib and walked slowly towards Gu Tianying and Wan.
