It wasn't until the trial of the Zhang family was over that the people at the gate of the county government dispersed, and Zhang Lu entered the county office.

At this moment, Zheng Xianling was looking through the file of the Zhang family, and when he saw Zhang Lu coming in, he immediately put down the file in his hand, stepped forward and said, "I don't know if the adults are coming, it is really a long way to welcome."

Zhang Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master Zheng, where is this, in terms of age, you are my elder, and in terms of being an official, you are my senior. If you don't dislike it, call me a good nephew."

This was very useful to Zheng Xianling, Zheng Xianling smiled and said, "Then I will be cheeky, I don't know what is the matter with my nephew here? The case of the Zhang family has been almost tried, a total of 12 people have been put in prison, and the Zhang family has also paid more than 2,000 taels of silver to the people."

Zheng Xianling said and handed the file to Zhang Yan.

But Zhang Lu didn't answer, he just shook his head and said, "You are the parent official of Muping County, I don't worry about your case, I didn't come this time for the Zhang family's case."

Zheng Xianling was puzzled, put the file back on the table, and asked this time, "What is the matter with that virtuous nephew?"

Zhang Zhen scratched his head with a smile and said, "I came out and rode in yesterday on the horse of the girl in the red dress, and today I came to ask, where am I going to go with this horse?"

Zheng Xian Ling said: "The virtuous nephew left the county seat and walked east along the official road, where there is a Zhenhai Tower, and the virtuous nephew only needs to return the horse there."

Zhang Lu asked again, "I still have one thing to understand, when I killed the Japanese invaders yesterday, the woman with the mask was from Zhenhai Tower, right?" I see that the people in the county all shouted to her, 'General Zhendong, is she really General Zhendong of the imperial court?' I don't remember that the court had such an official position, and even if it did, it shouldn't be a woman."

Zheng Xianling explained with a smile: "Zhenhailou is a Jianghu sect we have here, the woman wearing the mask yesterday is the owner of Zhenhailou, named Chu Hongluan, these years Dengzhou Mansion has often been invaded by Japanese invaders, but our Dengzhou coastline is very long, but there are not many soldiers guarding it, and thanks to Zhenhailou, we can resist the attack of the Japanese invaders several times, the people are grateful, saying that this Chu Hongluan is more powerful than the soldiers of the imperial court, so they spontaneously called her 'General Zhendong.'" As for the Jianghu people, they prefer to call her the Iron Hand Red Girl."

Zhang Lu didn't expect to meet such a heroine in the small Muping County, but the people spontaneously called her "General Zhendong", which shows what kind of status she has in the hearts of the people.

Zhang Lu arched his hand towards Zheng Xianling and said, "Thank you for solving my doubts, then I will return the horse."

Zheng County ordered the return of the gift.

It was only after Zhang Lu took two steps that he stopped.

Zheng Xianling asked, "What else is going on with the virtuous nephew?"

Zhang Lu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I rode someone else's horse out and in yesterday, but in the end, I didn't even know the name of the girl in the red dress, how embarrassing."

Zheng Xianling said with a smile, "That girl in the red dress is Chu Hongluan's niece, named Chu Xiyao."

After bidding farewell to Zheng County's order, Zhang Lu beat his horse and headed towards Zhenhai Tower.

He went all the way out of Muping County, maybe this Muping County is really not big, so even on the official road, there are no people coming and going, but the fishing port beach is more lively.

….

Zhang Lu was riding a horse, and suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air.

He didn't even think about it, he jumped up from his horse directly, only to see a stone flying over the horse's back and embedded deep in the tree next to the official road.

Zhang Zhen returned to the horse, but instead of urging the horse forward, he let the horse stop where it was.

Someone is attacking in the shadows, and if they continue to ride their horses, they are likely to become live targets.

Zhang Lu quickly tied his horse to a tree and ducked down behind a tree.

He quietly leaned out and shouted, "Who is sneaky? Get out of here!"

As soon as Zhang Yan's words fell, he saw an old man emerge from the forest next to the official road.

The old man's face was covered with furrows, and his figure was a little rickety, and he was obviously not young.

Zhang Zhen looked at the old man and made sure that he did not know him, so he hid behind a tree and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why did you attack me on the official road?"

The old man did not answer, but laughed sadly, and he laughed for a long time before he said in a calm voice, "Do you still say that I am sneaky? Now that I'm out, why are you kid hiding?"

Zhang Lu was not afraid of this old man, but the trees here were forested, and Zhang Zhen was not sure if there were other people in the forest who were ambushed.

The old man seemed to have guessed Zhang Lu's thoughts, and he said coldly, "Don't worry, I'm the only one here, and I'll talk to you about something."

Zhang Lu didn't believe the old man's words, but he looked and looked at the forest opposite, but he still couldn't see any clues.

There is no way to spend it here, Zhang Lu can only walk out hard.

Of course, at this moment, he has adjusted his state to the best, as long as the old man is in trouble, he is bound to give the old man a strong counterattack.

Seeing Zhang Lu slowly walking out, the old man grinned and said, "I thought you kid was a gutless rat, but I didn't expect that you still have a little guts and really dare to come out."

Zhang Lu didn't answer, but asked directly, "What are you looking for me?"

The old man replied directly, "I want you to borrow something."

Zhang Zhen looked left and right, and replied, "I have no long things, and I don't have much money, and now there is nothing more than a knife and a horse around me, the knife is given by someone else, and it cannot be borrowed, and the horse belongs to someone else, and I have to take it back, and I have no right to borrow it."

The old man hurriedly waved his hand: "What is the use of your broken knife and broken horse?"

Zhang Lu asked again, "Then what exactly do you want to borrow?"

The old man grinned, the wrinkles on his face deepened a little, and his smile made people look extremely uncomfortable, only to hear him say, "I want to borrow your life."

Zhang Zhen has already thought of this answer, anyone who borrows something in the TV series will either borrow his life or Xiang Shang's head.

Zhang Yu smiled, and he said, "My life is only one, naturally I won't borrow it, if the seniors really want it, you might as well come and get it yourself!"

As soon as Zhang Yu's words fell, he directly took out the embroidered spring knife and waved out a knife qi.

The old man was obviously not a mediocre hand, and he dodged the blow with one sideways turn.

He narrowed his eyes and said to Zhang Yuan, "Good boy, you dare to sneak up on me!"

"You want my life and don't allow me to sneak attack? Besides, you attacked me first!" Zhang Lu said, but the movements in his hands did not stop, he came to the old man's side with an arrow step, and slashed towards the old man with his internal strength.

The old man was not in a hurry, and took out a long knife from his waist and pressed it against it.

The old man's long knife was the same as Zhang Yuan's knife, Zhang Yuan's pupils shrank, and he said, "Embroidered Spring Knife? Who the hell are you?"

Night rivers and lakes.
