Chapter 1031: Alone in Danger
After Zhang Jiusheng left Baishitang, he went straight to the place where Mrs. Zhang was hidden.
That place is behind the old mansion of the Zhang family.
A very inconspicuous small room.
The so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, Zhang Jiusheng knows it well.
Tie Wan followed closely behind Zhang Jiusheng, watching Zhang Jiusheng turn around in the alleys of the alleys, and finally stood at the door of a house that looked quite simple.
"My lord, what are we doing here?" Tie Wan asked, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Come along." Zhang Jiusheng didn't answer directly, and pushed the door in.
At this time, the twilight had slowly fallen, and the courtyard was quiet, except for the warm light of the house flashing in the dim yellow, and the candle flame flickering, reflecting the shadow of a man in the window.
Zhang Jiusheng and Tie Wan stood outside the door, knocked softly, the shadow on the window moved, stood up, and then only heard a "squeak", and the door opened.
The person who opened the door was Zhang Jiusheng's mother, Mrs. Zhang.
Tie Wan's eyes widened again.
"It's so late, why are you here?" Regarding Zhang Jiusheng's sudden arrival, Mrs. Zhang was obviously unclear, and she stood in the door in surprise.
"Mother, I can't stay here, I have to take you somewhere else."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't ask, hurry up and pack up, we'll leave right away."
Although she didn't know what was going on, seeing Zhang Jiusheng looking like she was facing a great enemy, Mrs. Zhang didn't delay much, turned around and went into the house, casually packed a few clothes, and went out with the box.
"Where are we going now?"
"Go to Baishitang and meet up with Dad."
"Is it safe?" Old Madam Zhang hugged the box in her arms tightly and frowned.
Regarding this question, Zhang Jiusheng really didn't know how to answer, he only felt that it was not safe anywhere now, but it was the most unsafe to leave Mrs. Zhang here alone.
"Mother, I don't know."
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Zhang saw that her son was like this now, and then saw that the one who came with her today was not Guan Chu or Yun Sheng, but Tie Wan, and she couldn't help beating the drum in her heart.
She knew that it was useless to say anything now, and something must have happened.
Without saying anything all the way, the three of them hurried to Baishitang, knocked on the door, it was Zhang Qiye who came to open the door in person, he still had a cloak in his hand, and as soon as he saw Mrs. Zhang, he immediately handed over the cloak.
"Mother." Zhang Qiye called.
"Let's go inside."
"Did you meet anyone on the road?" Zhang Qiye asked.
Tie Wan shook his head: "It's cold, and now there is not even a mouse on the street." ”
Seeing the three of them enter the house, Zhang Qiye stood at the door, looked at the empty street a few times, and then closed the door. And when it was closed, under the eaves of a corner of the street, a dark figure stood there, motionless, like a sculpture, and suddenly the wind rose, and the fallen leaves rolled across the street, and the figure disappeared.
In the house, it was warm, and Zhang Jiusheng poured a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Zhang first.
"Mother, warm your hands first."
Mrs. Zhang took the teacup, handed the box in her hand to Zhang Jiusheng, and said, "Things are safe, where is your father?" ”
"Mother, don't worry, Dad is already asleep by now." Zhang Qiye walked over and said.
At this time, Zhang Jiusheng had already opened the box, and the jade seal was lying in it completely, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart hung again, when will this hot potato be thrown back into Li Hongzhi's hands, otherwise he will give it directly to Gu Li and let him take it back to the capital overnight.
"Mother, I have arranged for someone to clean up the house for you, you go and rest first." Zhang Qiye said.
Mrs. Zhang nodded, glanced at Zhang Jiusheng, and then at Zhang Qiye, and Zhang Qiye also nodded, indicating that she knew in her heart, and Mrs. Zhang left.
"Brother, what should I do? I really don't want to take this thing in my hands. Zhang Jiusheng was holding the box, if it weren't for the jade seal lying inside, it was a matter of state affairs, he would have thrown it away.
Zhang Qiye thought for a while, took out another box from the counter, and then opened the box containing the jade seal, took out the jade seal, and put it in the wooden box in his hand.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Jiusheng was a little confused.
"Don't you want to take it? No, I'll take it for you, but you can take this empty box with you. ”
Zhang Jiusheng was not a fool, he immediately understood, and complained: "Isn't this the same? ”
"Gu Li can't leave now, what's more, do you think that when you came over just now, no one was really staring?"
As soon as the words fell, Tie Wan, who was standing on the side, understood, and explained: "Young Master, I really didn't notice that someone was following us just now, how did you know?" ”
"The other party's martial arts are strong, so it's not difficult to avoid you easily." Zhang Qiye stuffed the empty box into Zhang Jiusheng's arms and said, "No matter what, you must hold this box." ”
"Why am I holding it?"
"You don't want to find Yunsheng anymore?"
At this moment, Zhang Jiusheng was completely speechless, holding the empty box quietly, and he didn't know how long he had scolded Li Hongzhi in his heart.
"It's getting late, what do you say? Do you want to stay with me, or do you want to go back? Zhang Qiye wrapped his coat.
Zhang Jiusheng thought for a while, glanced at Tie Wan, and said, "I'll go back." ”
"Then get out of here." Zhang Qiye waved his hand quite unceremoniously and began to drive people away, and in a short time, Zhang Jiusheng and Tie Wan were already standing on the street, weathered by the cold wind.
"My brother is so ruthless." Zhang Jiusheng muttered, but he didn't dare to shout loudly in front of Zhang Qiye, and was finally dragged back to the yamen by Tie Wan.
Zhang Tong called Guan Chu early in the morning, and the two went back to the yamen together.
I thought that Zhang Jiusheng would come back soon, but I didn't expect that after waiting until I was hungry, the two of them had to make a hot pot with some of the only ingredients left in the kitchen, and as soon as they put down a few pieces of meat, footsteps outside the door sounded.
Zhang Tong was a little unhappy: "Damn, if you don't come back early or late, you'll come back at dinner." ”
Zhang Jiusheng pushed open the door and brought in a large area of cold, Guan Chu sat on the stool, shivering with cold.
"Yo, where's the dinner?" Tie Wan asked knowingly.
"I'm cold, Lord Ben." Zhang Jiusheng put down the box, rubbed his face vigorously, and after a while, he felt that he had spoken sharply, and then said: "Hot pot, yes, add a pair of chopsticks to me." ”
"I want it too." Tie Wan quickly closed the door and leaned over to say.
Guan Chu saw the box on the table at a glance, and reached out to reach it, Zhang Tongyan quickly pressed it and said, "Don't move." ”
Guan Chu didn't know what he meant, but Zhang was smarter than himself, and there should be a reason for him to say this. What's more, this is Zhang Jiusheng's thing, he didn't say it, he moved, which is not very good, although Zhang Jiusheng has a good relationship with him, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, everything is not easy to say.
Therefore, Guan Chu obediently retracted his hand.
After Zhang Jiusheng sat down, he didn't care about the box, he picked up the chopsticks and ate happily, he was indeed too cold, one bite down, as if the whole body was smooth, and the frozen limbs and bones immediately came to life, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The people regard food as the sky, and they really have to obey.
"My lord, why did you bring the box here?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Tong asked.
Zhang Jiusheng raised his head from the rice bowl, glanced at the box next to him with disgust, and said, "Now that Yunsheng has lost it, my mother's side is not safe, so I will take her out first, and I will take the things myself." ”
"Aren't you going to be dangerous, then, sir?" Zhang Tong's eyes widened.
Zhang Jiusheng's skills are not enough to protect the things in this box, if the other party is tough, Zhang Jiusheng has no chance of winning, and now that Gu Li is not here, what can they do with a few rotten sweet potato and rotten bird eggs.
"I can't bear the wolf with the child, now that Yunsheng has lost it, the other party's next goal is this, so I have to take it."
"Your Excellency, are you going to risk it alone?" Zhang Tong exclaimed.
Zhang Jiusheng didn't speak, picked up a piece of meat from the hot pot and chewed it into his mouth.
"My lord, no, you don't know kung fu, it's useless to go, why don't you put things in Gu Lina?"
"Yun Sheng doesn't know kung fu, but now that she is in the hands of that person, she doesn't know what she is going through, and her body has only been around for a long time."
Speaking of Yunsheng, the atmosphere in the room dropped sharply by several degrees, and Guan Chu only felt that the taste in this pot had changed.
I think that at the beginning, when Yun Sheng first came to Yamen, he followed behind Zhang Jiusheng.
Thin and weak, he always wore one or two more clothes than others, his complexion was pale from spring to winter, and his hands were cold, as if he couldn't get warm.
Although she doesn't smile much, she is very kind to others, and she rarely kills people unless necessary.
Now that I think about it, Yun Sheng seemed to be the most fierce at that time, and it was Zhang Jiusheng.
At the beginning, even Zhang Tong felt that Yun Sheng was only able to enter the yamen to find a way out by relying on Zhang Jiusheng, everyone should not look at the happiness on the surface, but in fact, they didn't know what to say about her behind their backs.
Some people say that she is the rabbit master, and Zhang Tong and Guan Chu both know it.
It wasn't until later that the truth about her being a daughter was discovered.
It wasn't until later that it was discovered that her weakness was due to poisoning.
It wasn't until later that Zhang Jiusheng told them that Yun Sheng was the queen of Zhongliang.
They are only beginning to slowly discover how good Yun Sheng is.
She doesn't go out often, and every time she comes back, she buys some food and gives it to the people in the yamen, and even the uncle who sweeps the floor will not be left. It's hot, there's mung bean soup, it's cold, there's warm porridge, and as long as Yunsheng is found, there's nothing that can't be solved.
Since Yunsheng arrived at the Yamen, Zhang Jiusheng didn't go out to hang around, and when the people came to report the case, Zhang Jiusheng could sit quietly on the chair and not move, and sometimes he could even say a few words.
There are not many trivial matters in the yamen, but when it comes to dealing with them, it always takes half a life, Yun Sheng has not been here for a long time, but he has cleaned up those headaches that everyone feels.
Zhang Jiusheng's feelings for Yun Sheng are different.
Zhang Tong looked at Zhang Jiusheng, picked up a piece of meat and put it in Zhang Jiusheng's bowl, and said, "My lord, then you must be careful yourself." ”
