Chapter Eighty-Four: There is nowhere to find the iron shoes

As the saying goes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger", Mei Jiaxing, who has always been timid and afraid of things, was able to risk his life for two old men who were not related by blood, I really don't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Although Mei Jiaxing was out of justice and justice, and thought of the kindness of the second elder to him, he chose to stand up for them. However, in the end, it was the so-called enthusiasm that prompted him to make up his mind to do so, so that Mei Jiaxing, who was ignorant of the world, was repeatedly pushed by impulse and anger, and resolutely decided to go to Zhang Shugong.

However, after several days of hard searching, I still didn't hear any news about Zhang Shugong. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang have cut off contact with their son for many years, so there is very little information they can provide to Mei Jiaxing.

However, the so-called emperor pays off.

One morning three days later, Mei Jiaxing finally heard an exciting good news - Zhang Qianxiao, the daughter of Zhang Shugong, was burning incense and praying in the "Qingyun Temple" at the moment.

Without further ado, Mei Jiaxing didn't dare to hesitate more after learning about this, so he immediately rushed to Qingyun Temple with the comer, hoping that everything was still in time.

About half an hour later, Mei Jiaxing and the others finally arrived at Qingyun Temple. After entering the temple, Mei Jiaxing immediately asked someone to tell Zhang Qianxiao's specific location.

But at this critical juncture, the person who reported the news seemed a little hesitant. On the one hand, he coveted Mei Jiaxing's silver taels, and on the other hand, he was a little afraid of Zhang Shugong's might. After all, he didn't know Mei Jiaxing's origin, and if there was anything wrong with a light smile because of this, Zhang Shugong would definitely not let him go after he knew it.

Mei Jiaxing saw that the man was suffering from gains and losses like this, and he was afraid that he would delay the big event, so Mei Jiaxing dragged the man to the dark, and put a dagger on the man's neck with a dagger prepared in advance, and then whispered to him viciously: "Do you say it or not!" Believe it or not, I'm going to kill your dog right now! ”

Seeing this, the man was so frightened that he begged for mercy, and promised Mei Jiaxing to take him to Zhang Qianxiao immediately.

After about a cup of tea, the man took Mei Jiaxing outside a Buddhist hall, and then pointed to the person in the room who was kneeling and praying for blessings and said to Mei Jiaxing: "That person is Zhang Qianxiao." ”

Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing took a closer look at the people in the house.

"I said-" Mei Jiaxing was about to ask the man further about Zhang Qianxiao, but suddenly found that the man had long since disappeared.

In desperation, Mei Jiaxing could only sneak into the Buddhist hall alone, and hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity to move.

Mei Jiaxing thought to himself: As long as he controls his baby daughter, he is not afraid that Zhang Shugong will not show up. At that point, the initiative will be completely in your own hands.

At this moment, Zhang Qianxiao suddenly stood up, as if he was leaving.

Just as Mei Jiaxing was hesitating whether to show up, he was attracted by Zhang Qianxiao's charming face and gentle voice.

I saw Zhang Qianxiao wearing a hosta on his head, and a blue hairband hanging on his back. She wears a pale pink placket on her upper body and a light blue long skirt on her lower body. The skirt is flush with the waist and tied with a red belt.

Just as Mei Jiaxing wanted to observe it further, Zhang Qianxiao wanted to leave the place. Without further ado, Mei Jiaxing immediately decided to show up immediately.

Seeing a strange man suddenly appear in the quiet Buddhist hall, the personal maid who smiled lightly was frightened and screamed.

When Zhang Qianxiao heard this, he turned around, and then saw Mei Jiaxing who appeared in front of him.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Qianxiao was not frightened and panicked like a maid, but asked Mei Jiaxing very calmly where he came from and what he was doing.

Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing didn't have the intention to answer at all, but looked at Zhang Qianxiao carefully again.

Her eyes are as warm and soft as water, faintly, if there is a poignant sadness hidden in it, but it is unpredictable; Her lips are as delicate as red flowers, and in a trance, there seems to be a charm and enchantment hidden inside, but it makes people waver.

And the most fascinating and fascinating thing is her fair and delicate slender hands and intoxicating gentle words.

Among them, there are not only the dignified and virtuous ladies of everyone's ladies, but also the purity and simplicity of the small jasper, as well as the elegance and refinement of the scholarly family. How can you not let the people in front of you be intoxicated by all this?

I saw Zhang Qianxiao fold a pair of slender and white jade hands on her waist, and then shouted the word "Childe" again and again in her extremely gentle and delicate tone.

However, Mei Jiaxing at this time seemed to have lost his soul, so that he couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

Mei Jiaxing thought to himself: "Oh, I didn't expect this Zhang Shugong's daughter to be so beautiful and moving!" If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that a father who was inferior to a beast could raise such a gentle and polite descendant, which is really unbelievable. ”

Just thinking about it, a sudden "noise" ruthlessly broke Mei Jiaxing's thoughts.

It turned out that the maid on the side saw Mei Jiaxing's sluggish expression, so that she stared at Zhang Qianxiao for a long time, so the maid expected that she must have bad intentions. Seeing this, she decided to scream a few times, wanting to wake up Mei Jiaxing.

Don't say it, her fuss really made the intoxicated Mei Jiaxing come back to his senses immediately. It's just that the maid deliberately disturbed his "sweet dream", so that Mei Jiaxing was disgusted with him.

When he was young, Mei Jiaxing stepped forward and asked Zhang Qianxiao categorically, why he hadn't visited his grandparents for so many years?

In this regard, Zhang Qianxiao was extremely surprised, and then hurriedly explained to Mei Jiaxing, the second elder of them has been dead for many years, why do you say this?

After Mei Jiaxing heard this, he was both surprised and angry. Zhang Laohan and Mrs. Chen are obviously still in the world, but Zhang Qianxiao actually said that they have been dead for many years, what is going on?

It turned out that when Zhang Shugong left home that year, Zhang Qianxiao had not yet been born. It wasn't until Zhang Shugong cut off contact with his parents for more than a year that Zhang Qianxiao fell to the ground, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Qianxiao never saw the second elder.

And the reason why Zhang Qianxiao still mistakenly thinks that his grandfather and grandmother have passed away to this day is his father Zhang Shugong.

Zhang Shugong and his person can really be said to have exterminated humanity and lost his conscience, not only did he fulfill the responsibility of being a junior, but also told her many times after Zhang Qianxiao was sensible that the second elder had died in the war many years ago.

In addition, Zhang Qianxiao has always been obedient to her parents and lives in a simple place, so she can be said to know very little about the outside world, so that Zhang Qianxiao, who has grown up, doesn't even know that there are these two people in the world.

It is worth mentioning that although Zhang Shugong is a despicable villain who is not as good as a beast, the daughter he raised is well-behaved, sensible, simple and kind.

So who is the object of Zhang Qianxiao's prayer here? Came for her grandparents, of course.

Because according to Zhang Shugong, today is the "death day" of the second elder. Therefore, Zhang Qianxiao specially came here to burn incense and pray for him, hoping that they could live a stable and happy life in another world.

The kind-hearted Zhang Qianxiao has come here for the third consecutive year to burn incense and pray for the second elder.

However, it is strange that in the past three years, no one has dared to reveal any information about his grandfather and grandmother to Zhang Qianxiao.

In the final analysis, it was because he was too afraid of Zhang Shugong, so he didn't dare to talk much, for fear of bringing death to himself.

It turned out that to this day, Zhang Shugong still holds the position of head catcher in Jingzhao Mansion. It stands to reason that as a head catcher, it is supposed to protect the territory and the people, punish the evil and promote the good, but what Zhang Shugong did was the opposite, which can be called a monopoly party.

In the early years, when Bai Mingyi served as the governor of the government, Zhang Shugong was still a little jealous of him, and then restrained himself.

However, with Bai Mingyi's sudden dismissal and Qiu Pengyun's takeover of Jingzhao Mansion, the greedy Zhang Shugong was keenly aware of the opportunity. So Zhang Shugong, who was good at sneaking around and pampering horses to cater to the upper peak, began to do everything possible to invite and flatter Qiu Pengyun, and sent a large amount of gold and silver to show his sincerity and loyalty.

It is self-evident what kind of person Qiu Pengyun is, and it is tacit that he and Zhang Shugong are really like-minded, so the two naturally became "confidants" in the same boat.

With the protection of Qiu Pengyun, Zhang Shugong began to pretend to be powerful, and then became more and more unscrupulous.

On weekdays, Zhang Shugong, who has no one in his eyes, often leads a group of subordinates to run rampant and domineering in the market.

These people not only eat and live in the inn for nothing, but also often yell at the store and the people in the store. If you encounter something delicious and fun, you will eat it and use it when you grab it, and never give a penny. What's more, he even teased the people on the street many times and often frequented Fireworks Willow Lane. All kinds of deeds can really be described as shameless beasts, and they have reached the point of common anger of people and gods.

However, because Zhang Shugong was tough and skilled in martial arts, most of the people who were bullied by him dared not speak out. Even if there are occasional bold people who want to eliminate harm for the people, it is often the mud cows that go into the sea and never return. Over time, no one dared to resist easily.

It is precisely because Zhang Shugong committed such a vicious deed that he has not been able to get the punishment and retribution he deserves for a long time, so that Zhang Qianxiao, who was almost unaware, was also implicated, which is one of the reasons why she has almost no friends except for maids since she was a child. After all, when others saw the daughter of this great villain, they couldn't hide it, so how could they approach her without knowing whether they were alive or dead?

This situation made Mei Jiaxing, who was quite helpless, sigh deeply. I thought to myself, "Alas, it's a good girl, but it's a pity that she's a fool." ”

Because some stubborn Zhang Qianxiao never believed the truth of what Mei Jiaxing said, the angry Mei Jiaxing resolutely decided to forcibly bring Zhang Qianxiao to Zhang Laohan's house. It's also good for her to see with her own eyes whether the second elder is still alive, and then prove that she is not talking nonsense and maliciously slandering.

Just when Mei Jiaxing, who had lost his mind, was emotionally dragging Zhang Qianxiao to the front of the Buddhist hall, he heard two "whoosh" sounds, and the back of Mei Jiaxing's hand was hit by a fast-moving stone. Immediately afterwards, a strange man dressed in regular clothes appeared in front of them in an instant without warning, this is Zhang Shugong, whom we have been mentioning before.

I saw Zhang Shugong snatch Zhang Qianxiao from Mei Jiaxing's hand extremely quickly, and glared at Mei Jiaxing viciously. From this point of view, Mei Jiaxing's barbaric actions have completely angered him.

Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing knew that something was wrong, and he wanted to escape, but it was too late.

I saw Zhang Shugong, who was full of anger, using his extremely cold aura to force Mei Jiaxing, who was trembling with fright, into a corner, and began to question him what he wanted.

Seeing this, Mei Jiaxing didn't dare to speak for a long time, just stared at him blankly and broke out in a cold sweat.

I have long heard that Zhang Shugong is really a vicious and cold-blooded person, but when I see it today, it is true. His serious and cold expression and unfathomable martial arts alone were enough to make people shudder.

"I, I, I...... I warn you, I'm the daughter of the Ministry of Ministers, Mei Chengye...... Son! If you dare to touch a single hair of me, my father knows it, and he will never spare you! ”

From this point of view, Mei Jiaxing was really frightened at this time, so much so that he actually made his gender wrong in a panic, which couldn't help but make the people present laugh secretly.

The naΓ―ve Mei Jiaxing took it for granted that doing so would make Zhang Shugong fearful and let him go. As everyone knows, it's okay not to say it, but it's extremely disadvantageous to say it.

Qiu Pengyun and the others were worried that they would not be able to grasp a powerful handle to blackmail Mei Chengye, so as to achieve their ulterior and sinister purposes.

In this way, it is in the middle of the heart, and it can really be said that "there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it".

Mei Jiaxing's foolish act of self-proclaimed wisdom once again put himself in danger.
