Chapter 40: Dark Rubbing
When Zhang Song returned to the village, he went to the house of the village chief and Li Zheng and told him about the severance of relations with Zhang Liu. Li Zheng was okay, but the news shocked the village chief, and asked him again and again what happened and why he broke off the relationship. Because this involves the prince of Dongmu, Zhang Song didn't say much, only said that their brother and sister had completely broken up, and they would break off in the future, and it didn't matter anymore.
When he got home, Zhang Song packed his things, took one last look at the home where he had lived for more than ten years, and went directly to the county.
On the other side,
Mu Tuo was secretly sent into the capital, as for what happened, that is what the people above have to worry about.
Zhang Liu was taken away by Liu Chengyang and locked up. Because of Zhang Tao's matter, Liu Chengyang had no good impression of Zhang Liu, and today he learned that this woman let Mu Tuo kill her brother in order to marry Mu Tuo. Liu Chengyang was really refreshed off the line by this woman.
Falling into the hands of people who don't like or even dislike herself, Zhang Liu's interrogation process can be said to be quite rough, sleeping at night in a dark and damp small dark room without even a window, accompanied by all kinds of nocturnal creatures, every time she screams, she will be thrown a mouse into her house by the caretaker. After doing this 5 times, even if she was scared, she didn't dare to make a sound.
She was silent, and the sound of the 'little friends' in those rooms came to her ears more clearly. She covered her mouth, curled up in the corner, wept, and stayed awake all night with her eyes open.
After only two days, she completely gave up struggling, asking and answering anything, even when asked why she wanted to give up her eldest brother's life, she acted as if she had no shame, and directly said that she wanted to live a good life and wanted to be a princess.
After being interrogated repeatedly for several days, it was finally confirmed that this was a woman who wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix and fly up the branches, but accidentally met Mu Tuo and was fascinated by the man's hue, so he took him away and took care of him secretly. There is really no conspiracy in this, and Zhang Liu really doesn't know anything about Mu Tuo.
After being locked up for a few days, Liu Chengyang wanted to put the person back.
However, a subordinate hurriedly ran over with a bag of things, and said a few words in his ear, Liu Chengyang's expression gradually changed.
"Really?"
The man nodded, "It's true, when I first found these things from the cave, my subordinates were just suspicious and didn't dare to confirm it." Because of the long time, the things have been damp, and the subordinates have found materials in the past few days, and made another one according to the ratio of the pile of things. This thing is indeed stronger than the gunpowder explosion we have now, and," this person paused, I don't know whether to say it or not, after all, it is a guess, and if it is true, then who left these things, if the girl who is locked up now is okay, if not, then there will be trouble, such a powerful thing is not in the hands of the imperial court, the people above must be unstable, the people above are unstable, and the people below will be chaotic, so he hesitates to say whether to say it or not.
Liu Chengyang: "What's the matter, you just say it." ”
The man gritted his teeth and continued, "I have a feeling that this is only a half-finished product. In the process of configuration, subordinates always feel that the current ratio is not very stable, although the explosive power is strong, but it is not easy to control, and it will explode if you are not careful. Therefore, the subordinates guessed that this should not be the final product. It's just that I don't know if these things belong to that girl, or if they were left by the previous people. ”
Only then did Liu Chengyang know why this person was spitting just now, if the semi-finished products have such great power, then what should the finished products look like? ! Such a divine weapon is something that can change the pattern of the Great Zhou and even the surrounding countries! But this kind of thing is not in the hands of the imperial court, if a little bit of it is revealed, the consequences are unimaginable. Also, who made this thing? Could it really be the Zhang Liu who is bent on climbing high branches?
No matter who it was, Zhang Liu couldn't go back for the time being, and was locked up in a small black room for further interrogation.
Zhang Xing doesn't care about these, she's busy now.
moved to Xinyi Mansion and lived in a big house, the Zhang family was very happy, but they were also a little worried, such a big house, just cleaning is a problem, not to mention, if there is no gatehouse, it is estimated that people will not hear when they knock on the door. Then buy a few people, but where to buy it, who to buy, you have to inquire.
Knowing that they were not familiar with the place when they first arrived in Xinyifu, Liu Chengyang directly sent a few well-trained people who were both capable and loyal. The Zhang family didn't want them all, they only picked a middle-aged couple from it, the man was called Li Fugui and the woman was called Yang Xiaocui, one was arranged in the concierge and the other was arranged in the kitchen, retaining their original names, not changing their names; The two half-grown sons, who were very clever at first glance, gave the second brother and the younger brother to be scholars, the second brother named his scholar Zhang Ping, and the younger brother Lin followed and named his scholar Zhang An; I picked a little girl for Zhang Tao and asked her to take care of Zhang Tao's daily life, Zhang Tao gave her the name of 'Xiaoxi'; and finally left a woman Liu who did rough work, a boy who was quick but loyal and honest, and Grandpa Zhang gave this kid the name of Zhang Zhong.
then sent the second brother and the younger brother to the academy, and also borrowed Liu Chengyang's relationship to arrange the two into the class of a well-known gentleman.
Then, a braised meat shop was opened next to the academy, Zhang's father was taking care of it outside, and Zhang's mother and Yang Xiaocui were busy in the kitchen. opened another pharmacy, at first Grandpa Zhang took Zhang Zhong to take care of him in the store, and after Zhang Zhong got started, Grandpa Zhang didn't go every day, but only occasionally went to see.
When Zhang Xing's master knew that she was going to sell the medicine, he also wanted her to put her medicine in their Xue family's pharmacy in Xinyi Mansion to sell it on consignment, to be honest, Zhang Xing was quite excited. But think about it again, when grandpa was in Zhangjia Village, he still worked in the field, and when he was free, he didn't have a place in his heart, so he opened a shop and let grandpa have something to do. Since opening the store, my grandfather has been very motivated to learn, and now he can keep accounts.
After Zhang Xing moved to the state capital, Master Xue didn't stay in the silver mine anymore, and he didn't have to stay there all day, just because he accepted Zhang Xing, a little girl, he lived there for a long time, and now he has also moved back to Xinyi Mansion. After arriving in Xinyi Mansion, while teaching Zhang Xing, he took her to the Xue family's pharmacy in Xinyi Mansion to see people, so that she could not only master the knowledge in books, but also use it in practice. Then Zhang Xing's medical skills rose with the naked eye.
Since she had her own private space, it didn't take long for Zhang Xing to make a kind of ointment with a particularly good scar removal effect, and made some skin care products for beauty and beauty, of course, this is purely to make money. Just ask, who makes the best money, in modern times, even children know that women's money is the best to earn. This statement also applies in ancient times. She took these recipes and finished products to her master, and when Xue Zhongyong saw these recipes, his eyes were shining, obviously seeing the profits inside!
Zhang Xing was amused, "Master, you also love money!" ”
Xue Zhongyong rolled his eyes, "Without money, do we want to drink wind and drink dew?" Without money, how can we afford to buy medicinal herbs and research new prescriptions? ”
"Poof, master, I didn't expect you to roll your eyes, I thought you would only have a serious face."
"You dare to joke about the master now, it's really no big or small." Xue Zhongyong glared at her, and then shook those prescriptions again, and said with a straight face: "What are you going to do with these things?" ”
"How about I give these recipes to the master, it can be regarded as my filial piety to your old man. Of course, if you don't want to go and want to give me some compensation, I won't refuse. Zhang Xing blinked after speaking, meaning to compensate me, hurry up and compensate me.
Xue Zhongyong patted her head with a prescription, "You! What a little slippery head! Don't worry, I will send the recipe home, and all the profits will be given to you at that time...... 3 into. What do you think? "3 Cheng estimates that the family will have opinions, after all, the medicinal materials, production, and sale are all made by the Xue family, and the little apprentice only provides a prescription. But he will fight for her, who makes him like this little apprentice very much.
Hearing the share given by Xue Zhongyong, Zhang Xing knew that the master must bargain for herself and her family behind her back, but she didn't need so much, and she didn't want the master to be embarrassed for this, she gave these recipes to Xue Zhongyong, just like she said, to honor his old man. After all, since the master accepted her as an apprentice, he has taught her everything, and he has no reservations about her because he is an outsider or a girl, which is really rare in the ancient times of family inheritance. Zhang Xing was very grateful to him and wanted to repay him with what he taught him. Another reason is that she understands that the benefits that these things can bring are not something that a person with no background can keep, and it is better to give the benefits to the master than to be usurped by others in the end. The Xue family is a century-old medical family, and these things can be given to them, so that the value of these things can be realized faster and more stably.
Although she wants money, she doesn't need too much money, so, "Master, I know you feel sorry for me and want to give me more, but thirty percent is too much, I only need one percent, and one achievement is good." ”
Xue Zhongyong looked at her for a while, confirmed that she was serious, and added another point to the satisfaction of the little apprentice in his heart, and touched her head, "Okay, master listens to you." ”
Zhang Xing started her money-making business by secretly rubbing here, and Zhang Liu was also secretly rubbing on her side, but she was rubbed in the dark room.
After a few days of closing the small black room and interrogating on wheels, Zhang Liu has collapsed across the board. Except that he is crossing, he has explained everything. It's just that she can't tell who she learned to make explosives from, and sometimes she says that she dreamed about it, and then she says that she improved it according to the flowers. However, through her performance, it can be known that even if there is this person, this person should have less skills than Zhang Liu.
That's it.
Then, Zhang Liu was taken to a special place to experiment with making explosives. When Liu Chengyang's people controlled how she experimented with this improved explosive, they gave her a pack of medicine, of course, this medicine only removed her memory of explosives. Then he put her back.
When she got home, all she saw was dusted furniture and moldy beds.
There is no brother.
After getting the letter of disconnection written by her brother from the old village chief, she squatted on the ground and cried loudly, her brother really didn't want her this time.
