Chapter 11 Profound Kindness is Repaid, and the Descendants of Sinners
As the Li family left, the people who gathered in front of the mansion of the court to watch the excitement began to gradually disperse, leaving only a few good things, asking the people around them from time to time: "It's strange, I just saw that although this Miss Zhang family has a powerful whip, the young master of the Li family also seems to have some skills, but why did he suddenly fall to the ground in the end?"
"You didn't even see it clearly, someone was behind the back of the Li family's son, look, it's him!" he said, pointing to the side and standing calmly, like Zhang Xiaoxian, who had never happened to anything.
At this time, the rest of the people turned their eyes on the strange boy who was obviously running from out of town.
"This young man dared to get involved in the private affairs of these two official masters, and he also stood on the side of the Zhang family, who seemed to be a little weak, this brain ......" The man shook his head and sighed, looking very worried about the ancients.
Zhang Yun'er had also recovered a little from Fang Cai's surprise at this time, Li Changrong, whose martial arts cultivation was above him, could stun her with a soft whip, and the key role in this should be the result of the young man in front of the carriage and the timely action for her.
But she had never seen this young man, and with curiosity and gratitude, Zhang Yun'er put away her whip and prepared to walk towards the young man.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a low angry shout came from behind him: "Yun'er, why don't you hurry up and get me back to the house!"
With that reprimand, a man in dark clothes, with a majestic face, and about fifty years old, walked out of Zhang's mansion, followed by a young man, who was also twenty years old, with ordinary eyebrows and eyes, and a little bookish and angry.
Zhang Yun'er heard that it was her father who called her, so she turned around helplessly and shouted unconvinced: "Dad, it was the Li family who first came to the house to make trouble, and the daughter just wanted to teach them a lesson, what's wrong?"
"Naturally, this matter will be handled by me and Master Li personally, and the most unfortunate thing is that your two elder brothers will come forward to discuss, what is the strength of your girl's family?
When Zhang Yun'er heard this, Xiao Yuan's face was a little unconvinced, and he snorted and was about to turn around and go back to the house, but he seemed to think of something, pointed to the young man in front of the dilapidated carriage opposite and said: "Dad, the reason why my daughter was able to defeat that Li Changrong just now was thanks to the young man who secretly helped me, I have to go over to thank him." ”
"You go back to the house first, and your father will go for you......"
Zhang Jiyuan, the doctor of Chaofeng, is a five-grade official who is cautious and cautious in the officialdom, and a master and elder who treats himself and the people around him extremely harshly.
A father who loves his tyrannical daughter more than his son, but is not very willing to show it.
Hearing that it was the young man who helped Yun'er, Zhang Jiyuan was very grateful in his heart, so he walked towards Zhang Xiaoxian's side.
Zhang Xiaoxian had already seen this majestic-looking man, and guessed that this was the eldest uncle they had come all the way to.
He was slightly excited in his heart, but he didn't rush to catch up, but turned around first and carried Zhang Linzi off the carriage.
The two dusty young men, uncleaned of wind and sand, with green faces, looked at the man in front of them with a little excitement.
Zhang Jiyuan is not stupid, and to some extent he is still very shrewd, when he sees the outfits of these two teenagers and their dusty clothes, especially when he sees Zhang Linzi in a wheelchair.
He finally understood who they might be.
"You are ......"
"I'm Zhang Zixian, his name is Zhang Linzi...... We are ......"
"Wait!" Suddenly, Zhang Jiyuan interrupted Zhang Xiaoxian's words violently, but his face changed slightly, and he glanced vigilantly at the people around him who had not yet dispersed.
The two young men who were about to give a salute were stunned for a moment, and at the same time looked at the man in confusion.
"Since you are the benefactor of the little girl, please go to the Xiaguan Mansion first and thank you well. ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked straight towards the gate of the mansion, and instructed his subordinates as he walked, "Please come in with two benefactors, close the courtyard door, and remember that no one is allowed to enter without my orders!"
"What kind of drama is this singing?" Zhang Xiaoxian withdrew Shi Li's hands, touched the chin that had not yet grown hair, and wondered.
"You'll find out when you go in!" Zhang Linzi was still as calm as ever.
Step into this courtyard, which looks ordinary on the outside, but is spacious on the inside.
Zhang Xiaoxian and the others could only roughly see some outlines of this courtyard at this time, and they felt that it was a little good, the houses were scattered, and the scenery was very square and elegant.
Zhang Yun'er was lectured by his father, returned to the mansion, was standing in the courtyard depressed, and suddenly saw Zhang Xiaoxian pushing a teenager who was about the same as him in, not only a little happy but also a little surprised.
"You're here, I thought Daddy just thanked you a few words, but I didn't expect to invite you into the house, that's right, I want to thank you in person now, eh, it seems that you are younger than me, that Zhang Yun'er is here to thank you, little brother! Thanks to you for helping me just now!"
"Your own family, you're welcome!" Zhang Xiaoxian replied nonchalantly, although the smile on his face was extremely sincere.
But I muttered secretly in my heart, where am I going to help you, it was this young man who saw that guy has been stepping back and gathering momentum, and the distance between their carriage is getting closer and closer, I am worried that the forest sitting in the car will be affected by the pond fish, so I have to make a move......
As for him, he raised his hand and hit the black handle of the knife very skillfully at the other party, so as to achieve a single blow.
It is not difficult for Zhang Xiaoxian, the biggest skill he has cultivated in the border city in the deep mountains is to be able to accurately find where the other party's Achilles' heel is.
"Hehe, hehe, your little brother is really interesting to talk about!" Zhang Yun'er, who didn't know what was going on, heard the young man opposite actually talking about a family, and thought he was a slip of the tongue, so he couldn't stop laughing.
"Yun'er, I have something to say to these two teenagers, you can go back to your inner courtyard for the time being!" Zhang Jiyuan, who was standing in front of the hall, ordered at this time.
Although Zhang Yun'er was a little puzzled, she didn't go against the stern father's intentions, hugged her fists towards Zhang Xiaoxian and Zhang Linzi, turned around and strode towards the inner courtyard.
The servants beside him were all dismissed, and only the three of them, old and young, were left in this huge place.
Zhang Jiyuan looked at the two teenagers with some excitement at this time, and his voice trembled slightly: "You are the children of the mountain?"
"Exactly, uncle, nephew Zhang Xiaoxian......"
"Nephew Zhang Linzi ......"
"Meet the eldest uncle!"
Zhang Jiyuan hurriedly waved his hand to let the two of them be polite, stared at the two of them excitedly for a long time, and stroked Zhang Xiaoxian's arm, nodding frequently, and then when he turned to Zhang Linzi, the expression on his face dimmed at this time.
He didn't speak for a long time, but just silently recited his name a few times: "Zhang Linzi, Lin ...... Sub ......"
Zhang Jiyuan began to be silent, he turned around and stood there with a gloomy expression, and did not speak for a long time.
But his mind has returned to the late night that was destined to be unquiet and unexpected, the night that had made him tremble and doubt.
Zhang Jiyuan, Zhang Xingshan, is a pair of half-brothers, because the two have always had different personalities, they can't do things and talk together, so it seems that the two are not very close, but blood is thicker than water, this is a reality that cannot be changed.
When Zhang Jiyuan, who also likes martial arts, is cautious step by step, and is willing to study and improve, he was on the exam list and began to immerse himself in officialdom, Zhang Xingshan, who was chivalrous by nature and quite a Jianghu atmosphere, was mixed in the army all the year round, and later because of his bravery and heart, he was expanded into the Praetorian Guard and changed to a Praetorian Guard.
A few years have passed, Zhang Xingshan, who was already about to boil out to be a comfortable little leader, suddenly handed in his resignation one day 15 years ago, saying that he was sick and could no longer perform his duties, and planned to retire and return to his hometown.
Finally, one day later, he disappeared from everyone's sight with his family, and there was no news.
After Zhang Jiyuan got the news, he was a little worried and puzzled.
It wasn't until a few years later, on an early winter night, that Zhang Xingshan, who was so emaciated that he almost couldn't recognize it, suddenly appeared in his study and offered to let him help secretly check on a few people, that he vaguely guessed something.
"It turns out that your sudden disappearance is for the Lin family's business, do you want to repay the favor?" Zhang Jiyuan asked in surprise.
Zhang Xingshan nodded silently and admitted, "The grace of regeneration cannot be repaid, Xingshan can only find out the truth for the benefactor, kill the culprit, and make the benefactor's family under the nine springs be able to look at it." ”
"Hmph, just because he just saved you, you have to take a lifetime for that person, is it worth it?" Zhang Jiyuan reprimanded.
"It's not worth it, just do what I think I should do, brother, please help me once!"
Zhang Jiyuan was silent, and finally persuaded: "Even if you find out the truth for the Lin family, what can it be, the whole mansion is dead, who will know." ”
"No, there are still people in the Lin family, and one day he will come to Lin'an, and he will always face all this. ”
"How do you know that?"
Zhang Xingshan was silent, and finally said: "Brother doesn't have to ask, the younger brother has a last resort, and I can't tell you for the time being!"
Is there anyone else in the Lin family? Over the years, when Zhang Jiyuan has helped this brother investigate this matter openly and secretly, his words will always appear in his mind from time to time.
Therefore, more than a month ago, when Qianli, the captain of Zhaowu in the border city, sent a letter saying that his brother Zhang Xingshan was dead and his two nephews were going to come to him, he was a little suspicious.
Zhang Jiyuan tried his best to forgive himself, this is just a kind of unreasonable speculation of his own, not a fact.
When the hiking suddenly disappeared, he already had a son who was more than a year old, named Xiaoxian, and now he is two nephews, of course, this does not rule out that the two of them have had another son in these years, but Zhang Jiyuan is always faintly worried in his heart.
Finally he saw this child now, Zhang Linzi, Lin ...... Child.
He suddenly felt that his guess had finally come true, this Zhang Linzi was the Lin family baby who was born and couldn't see anyone.
