When Zhang Mu walked out of the dungeon gate, he saw Han Fangshan standing outside the gate, looking at Zhang Mu with a smile on his face, and said coldly: "Brother Zhang, now you have a big tree, don't forget that there is an old saying that the mountain does not turn around, and don't be too proud of being a man." ”

"What Lord Han said is very true, but there is an old saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, if the adults are too proud, be careful to climb high and fall heavily." When Zhang Mu said this, he waved at Han Fangshan and turned away.

Zhang Mu mixed with officialdom in his previous life and understood the simplest truth, people like Han Fangshan are just small horns, at best, they can only stab a few times in the back without itching, and they can't decide Zhang Mu's fate, and the person who decides Zhang Mu's fate is Jiang Xuan.

It's like in the office, you are a section member, he is the section chief, everyone is a civil servant, it's just that you are older, and you don't have the right to fire me, it's just a small report, as long as I have a good relationship with the director, these things will be like smoke.

Dealing with people like Han Fangshan, the stronger he is, the stronger you have to be stronger than him, slap him a few times, step on a few feet by the way, let him know how powerful you are, and he will give up, officialdom, there is always only interests, not human feelings, so Zhang Mu is not afraid that Han Fangshan will turn his face, because he is not stupid.

Zhang Mu hurriedly returned to the post station to eat something, and asked his colleagues about Li Guan's background, and when it was nightfall, Zhang Mu returned to the dungeon alone, and the dungeon was built under the rockery in the backyard, which was very hidden.

Zhang Mu pushed open the door of the cell where Li Guan was held, and saw Li Guan hanging in the room, his head drooping, weak, and dying.

Through the dim light of the dungeon, Zhang Mu looked at the white silk jacket on his body and was mottled with blood, it is estimated that these few rì have not suffered less, and when the rì land temple captured him, it also took a lot of effort, if it wasn't for his greed and luck, then rì didn't know what the situation was.

At this time, Li Guan wore his long hair and slowly looked up to see Zhang Mu, and the two showed a touch of anger, but they no longer had the strength to curse, just stared at Zhang Mu, eager to cut Zhang Mu with a thousand knives.

"Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, but do you remember me?" Zhang Mu asked.

Li Guan sneered and said vaguely: "You just turned to ashes, and I recognize you." ”

"Then we don't need to talk nonsense, I'm here today, who will make a deal with you, you also know that the case you committed now, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, will be executed by Ling Chi, I know that Master Li has been through a hundred battles, and he is not afraid of death, otherwise he would not participate in this case." It's just that, have you ever thought about your parents, wife, children, and the family in the clan? Zhang Mu asked calmly.

"I'm just acting on orders, and I've already finished explaining what I want to explain, and it's useless to talk to you no matter how clever you are." Li Guan smiled bitterly.

Judging from Zhang Mu's torture, Li Guan didn't know as much as Zhang Chi, and he was indeed acting on the orders of Shangfeng, so Zhang Mu smiled and said: "I know this, the deal I came to discuss with you is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions." I can't save your life. Regardless of whether you were wronged or not, whether you participated in the rebellion, Ling Chi's execution is only a matter of time, but it's just a matter of time before you are executed, but your whole family and the peace of the clan are a matter of my words. Think of it, your old father is sixty-five, your old mother is blind, your wife is frail and sick, and your son has not yet married, do you really want me to exile them to a desolate land, to die in a foreign land? ”

Li Guan was already discouraged, especially when he heard that Zhao Qianhu took poison and committed suicide, he only felt that Zhao Qianhu had cheated him, he knew how to deal with the rebellion, and he had long since stopped reporting any illusions, and now when he heard Zhang Mu say this, he knew in his heart that he would not be able to live, but why should his wife and children and elderly parents suffer for the sins they had done?

"What you said is true?" Li Guan looked up and asked.

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. If you don't believe me, I can tell the yamen early in the morning and let them go. It's just that your son is afraid that he will be demoted to a lowly status, and he will not be able to inherit his father's business and become a military household. Zhang Mu said calmly.

"Okay, what do you say you want to do?" When Li Guan heard this, it was better to die than to live, and his incense was still short if he was alive, so he hurriedly asked.

"You don't need to do anything big, you just need to deliver a message. Tell the people above that Your Majesty is now in Yongkang, as long as you spread the news, you will be guilty of meritorious service. Zhang Mu said with a smile.

"It's not a secret, I really don't know who Zhao Qianhu has been in contact with, even Song Xiancheng has just met. I only know that he is a member of the church, but I don't know what his position is. Now that he has also been arrested, Zhao Qianhu has committed suicide, who can I give the news to? Li Guan hurriedly said.

"Then think about it carefully, what kind of people does Zhao Qianhu usually associate with?" Zhang Mu asked.

"This, Zhao Qianhu Ping rì has a lot of hybridization, and it is really difficult to conclude for a while. Besides, the small ones are stationed in Tandao City, and the thousands of households are ...... in Jinhua Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, Li Guan suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, in the past two years, Lord Zhao's life has suddenly become richer, I originally thought that he was greedy for military salaries, but later I learned that he secretly made a business, and it seems that he has a close relationship with a person named Duan Tiande from the Songhu Chamber of Commerce." Make a guide for him, help him take stock in Bendi, this surname Duan, and also honored me for twenty yuan. I think that if there is a suspicious person, ten have 仈jiǔ is him. ”

The so-called road guide is a pass that the people of the Ming Dynasty must have, and all personnel who are far away from their places of residence must be issued, otherwise they will be arrested and punished on the spot.

If Duan Tiande is really in business, he will do it locally in Songhu, so why should he let Zhao Qianhu give him a guide? It seems that there is something wrong with this.

"Li Guan, later today, I will find a gap to find a way to let you go, and in the early morning, you will go to find Duan Tiande. Put the message to him and see how he reacts. Then Hu Lai reported to me, I released your parents first in the morning, and when you came back, I released your wife and children, and then I gave you credit for following Shangfeng, so as to save your family from disaster. What do you think? Zhang Mu asked.

"Don't worry, the little ones will definitely get this done." Li Guan licked his dry lips and said.

"Okay, come on." Zhang Mu shouted, and when the two captains of the Jinyi Guard came in, Zhang Mu shouted: "Let him go, prepare a table of good wine and food, and let him rest for a good night." ”

The two Jinyi Guard captains knew that this kid was Jiang Xuan's current big celebrity, and they didn't dare to offend, so they hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord." ”

Zhang Mu took out two more 500 yuan bills and stuffed them to the two of them: "You guys should also go and rest." ”

The two lieutenants got the money and hurriedly said, "How can this be done." The small ones can't afford it. “

"Take it, we are all colleagues, I am the host when I come to Jinhua, invite the brothers to have a drink, what can I not bear? It's just one thing, don't torture him today, this is what Master Jiang ordered. Zhang Mu reminded.

"Don't worry." The two lieutenants hurriedly laughed, and as they spoke, they untied Li Guan, who suddenly sat down on the ground and glanced at Zhang Mu gratefully.

Zhang Mu sighed lightly, then turned around and went out.
