Chapter 34: Stalling for Time
The conversation between Zhang Ermao and Cangbei Mountain, Gu Tianying could hear it clearly, he didn't have the slightest expression on the surface, he hid the tension in his heart, and Zhang Ermao, who was coming over, quietly stepped forward, seemingly unintentionally protecting Wan's behind him.

"Two girls, I think you have all heard my words just now, if you don't mean to embarrass the two, it is really Zhang's responsibility, and it can't be half convenient, if you don't confirm the identities of the two today, Zhang really doesn't dare to let the two into the city without permission." Zhang Ermao came to Gu Tianying approaching, looked at the two of them, bowed their heads slightly, and said politely. Judging from his eyebrows alone, Zhang Ermao couldn't see any clues at all.
Gu Tianying and Wan Shi didn't answer, and Cang Ziling on the side stepped forward and said: "General Zhang, the two girls don't even bother to talk, let alone take off the black veil in front of you and others, didn't you just say that there is a way to get the best of both worlds, please use it." ”
"Miss Cangda, don't worry, whether the two girls are wanted criminals or not, we will know immediately." After Zhang Ermao finished speaking, he stood aside and stopped talking, waiting quietly for something. Not long after, a blue-curtain carriage drove out of the city, and it was the officer and soldier who had just been ordered to enter the city. When the carriage came to a halt in front of the crowd, two officers and soldiers, apparently recognizing the carriage, quickly stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and a young maid of about sixteen years old helped a beautiful woman to slowly descend from the carriage.
"Madam, come on, I'll introduce you to a big man." Zhang Ermao quickly stepped forward and pulled the beautiful woman to Cangbie Mountain and said: "This is a friend of the husband, Cangbei Mountain, the owner of Cangyun Hunting Maid Village. ”
As soon as Cangbei Mountain on the side saw this woman, and then listened to Zhang Ermao's words, his heart was half cold, and he secretly said that something was wrong, he didn't expect that Zhang Ermao would invite his wife to check the identity of Gu Tianying and Wan's family. Although the women of the Gangli tribe cannot show their true faces in front of men, they can be honest with women. Cangbeishan and the others made a lot of calculations, but they didn't expect that the defenders of the city would be replaced by the treacherous Zhang Ermao, let alone that Zhang Ermao would invite his wife to identify them.
"Meet the owner of Cangzhuang." The beautiful woman gave a salute to Cangbei Mountain.
"Mrs. Zhang is beautiful and incomparable, and she knows the etiquette so well, General Zhang is really a blessing." After returning the salute, Cangbeishan praised with a smile.
"Hey, the owner of Cangzhuang has won the prize." Zhang Ermao said happily: "Since this girl from the Lili clan can't take off the black veil and show her true face, it's better to ask her to get in the car and meet my wife alone, so that my wife can take a look." Is it a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and it is known in an instant, and the owner of Cangzhuang thinks it is good? ”
"So there will be Mrs. Lao Zhang." So far, Cangbeishan can only agree.
"Madam, the stakes are very important at this time, you have to carefully understand it, if there is a half-point difference, our family will suffer, is it a blessing or a curse, Mrs. Quanping has a pair of discerning eyes." Zhang Ermao's words are very clear, if the two women of the Gangli clan are really fugitives from the Gu family and are recognized by his wife, he Zhang Ermao will make a great contribution, not to mention the bounty, and the official position will have to rise gradually. Of course, if he misidentified someone, Zhang Ermao not only offended the Cang family, but also offended the people of the Gangli clan, which is not a joke.
The beautiful woman nodded, took the portrait of Wan handed by the officers and soldiers on the side, and opened it up and down to look at it carefully. Zhang Ermao thought that the two Gangli people were women, so he naturally didn't want his wife to see Gu Tianying's portrait. The beautiful woman looked at it for a long time, took back the portrait, nodded at Zhang Ermao, and turned around and got into the carriage on the side.
"Okay, Master Cangzhuang, you go and invite the two girls to get in the car, let's go early, and we won't delay each other." Zhang Ermao said with a smile.
Cangbeishan nodded, came to Wan and Gu Tianying, and said: "Two girls, I'm really embarrassed, since you have caught up with the official investigation, please accept the grievances for the time being, go to the car and meet Mrs. Zhang, and confirm the identity, we can enter the city." While speaking, Cangbei Mountain secretly glanced at Gu Tianying.
Gu Tianying nodded, took the initiative to twist his waist and walked to the carriage, and got into the carriage with his skirt in the same way as Mrs. Zhang. The maid on the side hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and Gu Tianying threw a wink at him and bent down into the car.
Cangbei Mountain on the side was like a fire in his heart, and secretly looked at the city gate, he had discussed with Zhou Boyi and others before, and asked them to come to the city gate to answer, I don't know why he hasn't shown up yet. After Gu Tianying identified his identity, Wan had to go up for anything, and once she was recognized, there would be no room for maneuver in the matter.
Gu Tianying sat in the car, looked at the beautiful woman staring at him in front of him, raised his hand and began to untie the thread of the black yarn on the side of his face, this solution was several minutes, Gu Tianying knew the meaning in Cangbeishan's eyes before getting into the car, it was to let him delay time.
Zhang Ermao, who was outside the car, waited for a long time and saw that there was no movement in the car, and hurriedly asked, "Madam, how is it?" ”
"This girl is still unveiling." The beautiful woman said helplessly.
The queue waiting to enter the city in the rear has dragged on for a long time, and from time to time people from the powerful mansions in the city come forward to ask. Zhang Ermao began to get anxious in his heart, and urged outside the car again and again.
Cangbeishan smiled awkwardly: "General Zhang, the veil of this villain is indeed cumbersome, let's not rush, be patient and wait." ”
Looking at Cangbeishan's smiling face, Zhang Ermao couldn't say anything, so he could only wait patiently for the result.
After a full quarter of an hour, Gu Tianying really couldn't delay any longer, not to mention that Zhang Ermao couldn't help it, the beautiful woman opposite him would come up and strangle herself. Untied the black veil on one side of his face, Gu Tianying finally revealed Lushan's true face, but he kept an eye on it, and did not take off the black veil, but just faded the black veil to his chin, which naturally blocked the Adam's apple.
The beautiful woman looked at Gu Tianying carefully, and then took out the picture of the wanted Wan family and compared it carefully. In order to prevent other men from seeing Gu Tianying's face, the left and right windows of the carriage were all blocked, and the line of sight was much worse than the outside. The beautiful woman looked at it for a long time, and after confirming it again and again, she smiled kindly at Gu Tianying and said, "I've wronged the girl, please get out of the car with me." ”
Gu Tianying nodded and began to tie the black yarn. The beautiful woman looked at it, needless to say, this belt must be more cumbersome than picking, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to tie it without half a pillar of incense, so she nodded to Gu Tianying and said hello, and the beautiful woman gently lifted the corner of the curtain and got out of the car carefully.
"How is ma'am?" Zhang Ermao hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The beautiful woman shook her head and said, "It's not the person in the portrait." ”
Although Cangbeishan knew that it was okay, he was relieved when he heard the beautiful woman's confirmation, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, Cang Mou didn't tell a lie, these two girls from the Gangli clan were indeed taken over by me half a month ago, and they are really not fugitives from the Gu family." ”
"Zhang has never said that he doesn't believe the words of the owner of Cangzhuang, and it is of course best if he is not a fugitive." Zhang Ermao smiled awkwardly, turned to look at Wan's and said: "When Mrs. verifies the identity of this girl, the owner of Cangzhuang can enter the city. ”
As soon as he heard that Zhang Ermao still wanted to check to the end, Cangbei Mountain was a little uncontrollable, and said: "General Zhang still doesn't believe Cang?" Could it be that Cang's reputation in this Bian Wang City has been so bad? ”
When Zhang Ermao heard Cangbieshan's words, he was also very embarrassed, when the matter came to this point, if he insisted on investigating, it would really make Cangbeishan lose face. But if he didn't investigate, he was a little uneasy.
"The owner of Cangzhuang is serious, Zhang does not distrust the owner, but he has to do this in his duties, and I hope that the owner of Cangzhuang will forgive me." Zhang Ermao bowed his hand and said.
Cang Beishan's face was pale, he sneered, and arched his hand casually: "Cang understands, but please remember that when everyone passes by in front of others, it is better to show some affection for each other." General Zhang's polite words will be saved, check quickly, we still have urgent matters when we enter the city. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Ermao knew in his heart that today he had completely offended Cangbei Mountain, in this case, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, he stood aside with his hands and did not speak, just waiting for Gu Tianying to get off the car, and then change Wan's to get in the car. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense.
Gu Tianying had already brought black yarn in the car, and he refused to get out of the car, wanting to buy more time.
Half an hour passed, and several housekeepers came from the back of the team to urge, Zhang Ermao couldn't bear it anymore, turned to the beautiful woman and said, "You get in the car and see, why is this black yarn so difficult to carry." ”
The beautiful woman said yes and walked towards the carriage, and as soon as she reached the side of the carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside out. Gu Tianying, who had brought the black veil back on, slowly got out of the carriage, he had done his best, and it would be really unreasonable to delay any longer.
"This girl, please move to the car." Zhang Ermao pretended not to see the people in Cangbei Mountain who were not good-looking around him, and stepped forward and said.
At this point, Wan Shi must not be timid, nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the carriage, and the beautiful woman followed closely. Gu Tianying quietly reached out and held the cold blade on his waist, and immediately everyone also implied killing intent, or holding a knife or holding a lock, as long as the Wan clan was recognized, they would thunder and take Zhang Ermao as soon as possible.
