On the way, Zhang Qingfeng asked Huda about what happened after he fell into a coma that day.

It turned out that not long after the little black dragon saved him, the Imperial Forest Army arrived, and when he was exposed to the door to kill people, he did not kill everyone, and some of the surviving Royal Forest Army saw the shadows of the three people, plus the Wu'an Hou Mansion was in chaos at that time, and it was not difficult to find out the news, so this secret that was not a secret was no longer a secret.

The council hall was smashed out of two large holes by the flying stone of the little black dragon, and some craftsmen were busy repairing it, the blood in the courtyard had already been washed, and the big pit in the ground had been filled, and the bluestone slabs were paved on it.

The place to receive Xu's father-in-law was in a side hall next to it, and when Zhang Qingfeng arrived, he found that his grandfather Zhang Chaoyang and father Zhang Beitian were present.

Regarding the origin of Father-in-law Xu's life, Zhang Qingfeng once heard Zhang Chaoyang talk about it.

He was one of the first thirty-eight people who followed the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to raise troops, and later was injured in a battle and lost his male function, so he did not do anything, entered the palace as a eunuch, and swore to defend the Zhou family to the death.

When Zhang Qingfeng arrived, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, and the expressions of several people seemed to be chatting very unpleasantly.

"Grandpa, father, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Qingfeng changed his smile and stepped into the house.

"Qingfeng, you're here, hurry up, this is Manager Xu, in terms of seniority, you still have to shout grandpa, old Xu, what do you think Qingfeng is appropriate to call you?"

Zhang Chaoyang's face changed faster than turning a book, and he was obviously angry just now, but he was instantly replaced by a smiling face, but the missing front teeth looked a little funny.

Father-in-law Xu also had a kind smile on his face, looked Zhang Qingfeng up and down, a touch of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said quietly: "The old minister is here for official business, this public and private can't be mixed, let's call for an official position." ”

"Okay, I don't know what Mr. Xu is doing when he comes to my Wu'an Hou Mansion?"

Zhang Qingfeng was not polite, and when he spoke, he walked directly to the main seat where Zhang Chaoyang had sat in the middle, and sat down, and Zhang Chaoyang naturally sat on the chair next to him.

Seeing this scene, Gonggong Xu's expression stiffened slightly, the princes and nobles were the most important rules, and Zhang Qingfeng actually sat in the seat of the head of the family, didn't that mean that this young man who was less than twenty years old had now become the real ruler of the Wu'an Hou Mansion?

Surprised, Gonggong Xu said quietly on his face: "Three days ago on the night, there was a group of mysterious thieves who attacked the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, and the Imperial Forest Army sent by His Majesty to protect the Hou Mansion was killed by four hundred and seventy-three people, I heard that the murderer has been caught by His Royal Highness, and is being imprisoned in the dungeon of the Hou Mansion, His Majesty sent the old minister to the Hou Mansion to raise people, to interrogate in person, after all, this matter is very important, judging from the cultivation of those thieves, the forces behind it should not be underestimated, I hope Your Highness can cooperate." ”

Gonggong Xu's words are reasonable, the Imperial Forest Army is a royal guard, not to mention that nearly 500 people died, even if one person died, Emperor Zhou must be traced clearly, and the crime of killing the Imperial Forest Army is like treason, and it is normal to interrogate the murderer.

But is the Imperial Forest Army sent by Emperor Zhou really to protect the Marquis of Wu'an?

Zhang Qingfeng sneered in his heart, if it weren't for the arrogance of the Demon Leopard Warrior and killing a few Royal Forest Soldiers who stood in the way, if he hadn't used tricks to lure people over, I am afraid that even if the Wu'an Hou Mansion was driven out and the group of royal minions outside were killed, they would not have moved a finger.

However, some words are not easy to debunk in person, and some truths are not clear.

Zhang Qingfeng smiled faintly and said: "Manager Xu, His Majesty the Emperor can send someone to protect my Wu'an Hou Mansion, the Zhang family is grateful, as for the matter of personally interrogating the prisoner, I am afraid that it will disappoint Gonggong Xu." ”

"Oh, what does Your Highness mean by this?" Gonggong Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Because the guards were not good last night, they accidentally let those thieves take advantage of the loophole and escape. ”

Without waiting for Xu Gong to speak publicly, Zhang Qingfeng raised his voice and preemptively continued: " Manager Xu, you should know that for the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, my grandfather handed over all the military power of 50,000 tiger and leopard soldiers to the royal family, in order not to be poked in the back of the major princes, my father dismissed all the 3,000 blood-clothed guards, in the past few years, you haven't seen what days the Wu'an Marquis Mansion has lived, let alone the thieves who killed the 500 Royal Forest Army, even if you catch a thief, you may not be able to see it, speaking of which, you really shouldn't have dismissed the blood-clothed guards in the first place, otherwise, it won't let people escape, Manager Xu, what do you say?"

"This ......"

After a few words, Gonggong Xu was speechless.

This time he entered the Wu'an Hou Mansion to interrogate the prisoner, and Gonggong Xu was ready to run into a wall.

He knows Zhang Chaoyang's temperament very well, although many things that happened in the past have caused irreparable rifts between the Marquis of Wu'an and the royal family, but in major matters, this Great Zhou God of War who swore to assist the new emperor before the former emperor's sickbed will definitely focus on the overall situation, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to let go of Emperor Zhou fifteen years ago.

Even the only grandson Dao bone was taken away can endure it, what else can't bear it?

At most, a tantrum will pass.

But what he didn't expect was that after Zhang Chaoyang vented to him, he actually threw out a sentence to listen to his grandson's opinion, since Xu Gonggong had a request for others, he could only wait patiently, fortunately, there were only three grandchildren left in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and in Xu Gonggong's mind, what does a sixteen or seventeen-year-old hairy boy know......? People ran away!

This answer caught Gonggong Xu off guard.

And the other party's explanation made him speechless, and in a few words, all the responsibility for the escape was put on the royal family.

It is a fact that the Tiger and Par Army was handed over to the royal family, it is a fact that the Blood Clothes Guard was disbanded, and it is a fact that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was squeezed out by many parties, all the facts added together, so that even if Gonggong Xu, who knew the inside story well, did not know how to refute it, even if he didn't believe that people had really escaped.

However, the death of the five hundred Imperial Forest Army is not a trivial matter, and no matter how loud this slap is, Grandpa Xu has to greet him with a smile.

"Your Highness, the past has passed, if the old minister is not mistaken, there seems to be a mysterious guard of five hundred people by your side, their strength seems to be unusual, they use a machine iron crossbow, and they wear star soul armor, if you want to say that you want to detain a few prisoners......"

"I understand, is Manager Xu talking about the group of mercenaries?" Zhang Qingfeng interrupted Father-in-law Xu.

"Mercenaries, are the guards in the palace ......?"

Gonggong Xu couldn't figure out where Zhang Qingfeng got such a mysterious guard, and he didn't expect it to be hired.

"I'm angry when I talk about them. ”

Zhang Qingfeng slapped his thigh, and said with a remorseful expression: "This group of guys admit money and don't recognize people, saying that they want to protect the Hou Mansion for three years, who would have thought that after the First World War three days ago, they all made a fuss about raising prices, otherwise they would terminate the employment relationship, you say, is there such a discredited mercenary? The three Chinese New Year's Eve that said that they had repented just a few days ago, and I really suspect that they deliberately let go of those three prisoners! But we, There is no way, the Hou Mansion has fallen to this point, the three-year employment fee has only paid a deposit, and more than 100 people have died in the war, and this pension is a large amount, by the way, father, according to the law of the Great Zhou, don't we have an official salary every year in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an? I remember that it has not been paid again since five years ago, right? Manager Xu, you came just in time, just give feedback to Your Majesty about the official salary, let the royal family make up for it as soon as possible, and I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I still owe the money for repairing the house outside, Huda, bring a pen and paper, my father wants to write a recital, and tell the craftsmen who repair the house, don't leave, the Wu'an Hou Mansion will be rich in a few days......"
