Chapter 96: The Way of Being an Official Is Not So Simple (Asking for Subscription)

Cheng Guang had some doubts in his heart, and his eyes fell on Song Yunqi's body, waiting for his answer.

Under Cheng Guang's gaze, I saw Song Yunqi pause, and then said with a strange face: "Shizi, this Zhang Shunlong is different from other slaves, he seems to have been demoted to a slave. ”

"Degraded to slavery?" Cheng Guang frowned.

Song Yun bowed slightly, "Yes, Zhang Shunlong's original Zhang family, his father was an ordinary official in Ping'an County, because of his mistakes, his father was pressed into prison and was about to be executed, and he himself was demoted to a slave." ”

"Fault?" Cheng Guang was puzzled.

What kind of fault can make the county government directly press a servant into prison, and even reduce his heir to slavery, this is to be exterminated.

Song Yunqi then said: "According to the intelligence, it seems that Zhang Shunlong's father, Zhang Heling, stole a large amount of silver taels in the county government treasury. ”

"Then the county government quickly discovered that Zhang Heling stole most of the silver taels that Zhang Shunlong stole and spent most of them, so he was punished as the same crime and reduced to slavery."

When Cheng Guang heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning again, and he didn't know why, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Judging from the information in the task prompt, Zhang Shunlong's character is not bad.

The so-called son must have his father, Zhang Shunlong's character is good, so his father is not a scumbag.

What's more, Zhang Heling, the county government, is quick to arrest, so he will not do the act of guarding and stealing.

He is an ordinary person, and he doesn't need so much silver, let alone the courage or strength, to steal a large amount of silver from the county government's silver vault.

Cheng Guang had a lot of doubts in his heart, looked at Song Yunqi and said, "How far is Ping'an County from here?" ”

Song Yunqi said respectfully: "It will be about a few hours from Kyoto. ”

Cheng Guang nodded slightly, looked at Qingluan and said, "Qingluan, prepare the horse, let's go to Ping'an County to have a look." ”

When Qingluan heard this, her delicate face was slightly surprised, as if she didn't expect that the prince would take him with her when she went out this time, so she immediately nodded happily, lifted her skirt, and walked out quickly to lead the horse.

Song Yunqi heard that the prince was going to go far away at this time, and his heart couldn't help but rise, and now the matter of missing the prince has just ended, and many people from all over the Great Zhou have been staring at the prince who has been in the limelight in this incident.

If the prince goes out this time and has an accident, then he will really die.

Immediately secretly summoned the guards of the lantern division in the courtyard and prepared to protect the prince all the way.

Cheng Guang didn't care about Song Yunqi's movements, his eyes fell on Princess Nanming on the side, and then lowered his eyes, and reached out to rub the black cub's dog head.

"Xiao Hei, you take good care of my aunt, don't let her run around, you know?"

Cheng Guang said to the black cub.

The black cub obviously understood what Cheng Guang meant, and the slightly humane helplessness on the dog's face lowered his head and whimpered.

It seems to say that it knows.

Princess Nanming on the side heard Cheng Guang's words, and her beautiful and noble face showed helplessness.

"You little bastard, are you trying to lock your aunt in your house?"

Cheng Guang was not embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Sort of." ”

"The golden house is every man's dream."

When Princess Nanming heard this, she frowned slightly, snorted, and turned her head over.

He stopped talking.

In fact, even if Cheng Guang let her go, she couldn't leave for the time being.

After returning to the ten-layer demon sea, there is a high probability of death.

Staying here, before the deity consciousness descends, she still lives for a while, it doesn't matter.

At best, freedom is a little restricted.

Princess Nanming didn't really care.

She had a faint feeling that the deity would soon be able to perceive that King Nanming was dead, and her doppelganger had become wrong, and she would soon be able to bring her consciousness to her doppelganger.

When the time comes, the black cub will not be able to suppress the deity.

Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, may not be pleased.

Princess Nanming thought in her heart, but she didn't have the slightest intention to remind Cheng Guang.

The red lips pursed slightly, revealing a faint smile.

The aura of dignity is undiminished.

…………

Cheng Guang rode out of Kyoto with Qingluan, Lin Cheng and other guards.

Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei haven't returned to the palace yet, he has already left Kyoto, and after they return to the palace, they can't find Cheng Guang, and there is a high probability that they will send someone to find his whereabouts.

It may also cause them some inexplicable concerns.

Cheng Guang couldn't care so much at this time, he found Zhang Shunlong's whereabouts at this time, if he waited for Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei to come back from the palace, he was afraid that he would inexplicably waste a lot of time.

After leaving Kyoto, I walked all the way along the official road for several hours, and soon, an antique and pedestrian-filled county town appeared in front of me.

When Cheng Guang and his entourage appeared in Ping'an County, the surrounding pedestrians were so frightened that they retreated when they saw Cheng Guang and the guards around him.

"This is the one from the Zhenguo Mansion?"

"Why did the prince of Zhenguo come to Ping'an County today."

"Hurry up, don't get in the way of the nobles."

Everyone was frightened, and hurriedly retreated to the surroundings, for fear of blocking Cheng Guang's path and angering Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, who was a great figure for them.

Cheng Guang didn't care about the discussions of the people around him, and grabbed a person casually to ask about the whereabouts of the Ping'an County Ya.

The man hurriedly pointed out the direction for Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly, thanked him politely, and led the group to Ping'an County.

The person who was asked for directions by Cheng Guang was quite dreaming at this time.

Did the prince of Zhenguo thank himself?

On weekdays, ordinary magnates don't take civilians seriously, but the prince of Zhenguo, the top magnate of the Great Zhou, is quite polite to them as civilians.

For a moment, the man's body was a little fluttery.

If you say it in the future, you will also be a person who can talk to the prince of Zhenguo, and there will be light on your face.

Cheng Guang didn't know the reaction of the person behind him, and he didn't know that he was able to make civilians so flattered by a casual word of thanks.

After a short time, Cheng Guang followed the man's guidance and arrived at the Ping'an County Ya.

Ping'an County office, in front of the vermilion gate, there are two mighty stone lions about several zhang high, and several officials at the front gate are fast.

There is a big difference between the fast catching of the county government and the fast catching of the lantern department.

It can even be said that the difference between heaven and earth cannot be compared.

When the county magistrate saw Cheng Guang and the others appear, he was immediately stunned for a moment, saw Cheng Guang's appearance clearly, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, even if he has never seen the county government's catch, he is amazed by the handsomeness of this son's appearance and the noble aura on his body.

Qingluan stepped forward at this time, and his red lips opened lightly, "My family wants to find a county order, but can I do it in the ya?" ”

A servant quickly listened to Qingluan's words, and did not react for a while, but was shocked by Qingluan's girl's appearance, but he quickly reacted, lowered his head, and did not dare to look more.

I knew that the person in front of me might not be small, and it was not something that he could offend as a small strong man.

"The county magistrate is in the ya, and the little one is going to report it, so everyone wait."

When Qingluan heard this, Liu frowned slightly, glanced at the catcher, and was a little angry.

This little catcher even dares to let his own son wait here?

Don't talk about seeing a small county order, even if the prince wants to meet the current prime minister, he will not let the prince stand outside the door and wait.

Immediately, there was a little scolding.

Cheng Guang stopped Qingluan and shook his head indifferently.

Although Heian County is at the foot of the imperial city of Kyoto, it is very different from Kyoto, a small Heian County, and there are few people who can know him, almost nothing.

He doesn't insist that everyone know themselves, and there's nothing to wait outside for a while.

Cheng Guang waited outside for a long time, and a middle-aged man led several officials and hurriedly ran out with a cyan official robe.

The middle-aged man was dignified, with a neat beard on his lips, and the beard was still trembling slightly when he ran briskly.

The middle-aged man saw a group of people standing outside the county office.

Before he could get closer, he could feel the majesty emanating from the passenger.

When the middle-aged man's eyes fell on Cheng Guang, who was the leader, his face instantly turned a little pale, as if he recognized Cheng Guang's identity.

Walk briskly.

Before he reached Cheng Guang's side, his waist had already bent down, and his face was full of humility.

"Ping'an County ordered Li Mingtang to see the prince, and he missed the welcome, and he hoped that the prince would not be blamed."

Cheng Guang didn't care, but was curious that this Ping'an County official could know him.

Li Mingtang saw Cheng Guang's doubts, bent down slightly, and said, "The villain is fortunate to have seen the prince in Kyoto, but the prince should not know the lower officials." ”

After saying that, Li Mingtang hurriedly turned sideways and respectfully entered the county office.

Although Li Mingtang still didn't know the purpose of Cheng Guang's visit to Ping'an County, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

This nobleman, a foaming star is enough to crush him.

Let this noble man wait outside the door, even the prime minister of the dynasty does not have this face, but he did it with a small county order.

Although he didn't order it, and the people below didn't know Cheng Guang, no matter what the reason, he neglected the son.

Li Mingtang raised his hand and wiped the fine beads of sweat secreted from his forehead with his cuffs, fortunately, this prince has a gentle personality and does not blame himself, otherwise today's incident would be enough to make him suffer.

Hurriedly took Cheng Guang into the county office, and when he passed by several county officials at the door, he gritted his teeth and said with a little discouragement:

"A few of you, next time you look longer, such a noble person comes to the county office, even if you don't know him, you have to invite him into the yamen!"

"If there is a next time, I will take some money and leave by myself!"

Listening to Li Mingtang's words, the county magistrate, several strong squad catchers turned a little whiter, they were originally temporary workers, they stuffed a lot of silver taels into the county government, and they took a lot of connections to get this job, if the job of catching fast is gone, the family's livelihood will be gone.

The body couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at Li Mingtang carefully following behind Cheng Guang, the son of the world, he looked at each other, and he couldn't say anything bitter in his heart.

Although they guessed that the identity of the person in front of them was not simple, where could they imagine that it was a big man who could humble the county magistrate to the extreme.

In the prefectural government.

The county commander Li Mingtang carefully invited Cheng Guang to sit on the upper seat, and asked the official to hand a cup of tea to Cheng Guang and the others.

Cheng Guang couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw this, "Sit down, I don't have a big deal coming over this time." ”

When Li Mingtang heard Cheng Guang's words, he and the county lord Bo beside him glanced at each other and slowly sat down.

Even when I sat down, my body was still a little tense, too tense, and I couldn't help but sweat a lot on my forehead.

No, don't be nervous.

This noble man came to Ping'an County inexplicably, if he can please him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can take a step to the sky.

But if you offend, I'm afraid that this life will come to an end.

Cheng Guang saw the restrained appearance of Li Mingtang and the others, and he didn't care, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said:

"I came here this time, mainly to find Zhang Shunlong."

"Zhang Shunlong?" When the county commander Li Mingtang heard Cheng Guang's words, he was stunned for a while.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Cheng Guang came to Ping'an County just to find a person like Zhang Shunlong.

When Li Mingtang heard this, he felt that he was quite familiar with the name of such a person as Zhang Shunlong.

Li Mingtang turned his head to look at the county beside him.

"Lord Yang, have you ever heard of this person?"

Xian Cheng was an old man with a white beard, a thin body, and a goatee.

Hearing Li Mingtang's question, he also frowned and thought about it, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said: "This Zhang Shunlong seems to be Zhang Heling's son." ”

"Zhang Heling's son?" Li Mingtang was secretly speechless, and when he heard Yang Xiancheng say this, he understood what Zhang Shunlong was about.

Li Mingtang's eyes fell on Cheng Guang's body, and he hurriedly said: "Shizi, Zhang Shunlong is also known to the lower officials. ”

"His father, Zhang Heling, stole the silver vault, and he was demoted to a slave because he spent most of the silver."

Song Yunqi had said it to Cheng Guang before, so Cheng Guang naturally knew about this matter, and nodded unexpectedly, and then said, "Where is he now?" ”

Li Mingtang hurriedly motioned to Yang Xiancheng to investigate.

Yang Xiancheng stood up, found a few officials, flipped through the information, and after finding a few more catchers and inquiring carefully, he got the results, came back quickly, and saluted respectfully.

"The prince, the county magistrate, Zhang Heling was imprisoned for stealing silver from the silver treasury, and his son Zhang Shunlong was punished for the same crime and demoted to slavery because he spent a lot of silver in the silver treasury, and then he was bought by the Liu Mansion in the county."

"It's time to do things in Liu's Mansion now."

After Yang Xiancheng finished speaking, Li Mingtang also looked at Cheng Guang and said, "Shizi, do you need us to summon this Shunlong?" ”

Cheng Guang shook his head, "Let's go see for ourselves." ”

"What is the origin of this Liu Mansion?" Cheng Guang looked sideways and looked at Yang Xiancheng.

Yang Xiancheng hurriedly said: "This Liu family is an ordinary family in Ping'an County, it is said that the third daughter of her family has recently been favored by nobles, and there is also some scenery in the whole county during this time. ”

Cheng Guang heard this and nodded slightly.

Zhang Heling stole the silver treasury, and then Zhang Shunlong spent a lot of silver, was demoted to a slave, and then was bought by Liu's mansion.

It all seemed so abrupt.

Even Cheng Guang himself felt unreasonable when he saw this at first glance, and Li Mingtang, the county magistrate, would not be unable to see the problem at all.

So before leaving, Cheng Guang asked, "Lord Li, is there nothing wrong with Zhang Heling's theft of the silver treasury?" ”

Li Mingtang obviously didn't expect that Cheng Guang would ask Zhang Heling about stealing the silver treasury, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly spoke up.

"Shizi, we are also shocked that Zhang Heling stole the silver treasury, we didn't expect Zhang Heling, a person who usually seems to be honest, to do such a thing."

"It's just that the evidence behind is conclusive, not only did Zhang Heling's own footprints be found in the silver vault, but some remaining official silver was found in his home."

"So he was convicted."

Cheng Guang asked again: "Did he say anything that he was wronged?" ”

Li Mingtang smiled bitterly: "Shizi, basically every criminal will say that he was wronged after being caught, this is normal, everything is based on evidence." ”

Cheng Guang nodded noncommittally and walked out the door.

Li Mingtang hurriedly led a group of officials to follow Cheng Guang closely, slightly half a step behind Cheng Guang, and led him to Liu's Mansion.

Yang Xiancheng and Zhu Bo stayed in the county government and did not leave.

Yang Xiancheng looked at the figure of Li Mingtang following the prince away, his pale eyebrows furrowed slightly, stroked his white beard, and muttered to himself.

"As soon as this noble prince came over, he wanted to find Zhang Shunlong, and he also asked about his father Zhang Heling's case, could it be this silver theft case, what else is there to do?"

"Master Sun, we can't say that we have to re-investigate this case."

The main man on the side was a slightly chubby man, with a thin blue-green official robe, which was rounded and convex by his body.

Hearing the words of Yang County's order, Sun Fu's face was strange, and he was a little unsure of what happened to this noble prince who came to the county government to find Zhang Shunlong, but he still said:

"Don't be, the tone is conclusive, the dust has settled, and that Zhang Heling is about to be beheaded."

"The prince didn't say anything, let alone let us re-investigate the case, so don't worry about it."

Yang Xian Ling stroked his goat's beard, still feeling a little wrong in his heart, muttered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"If the prince wants us to check again, then we will check again, if not, then that's it."

"If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, I wouldn't believe that the old man would steal the silver treasury."

…………

Liu's Mansion is located not far from Ping'an County, the mansion seems to have just been renovated, with bluestone and green tiles, and the gate is vermilion, which looks quite magnificent.

Arrived at Liu's house.

This time, there is no need for Qingluan to call the door.

As soon as the servants of the Liu Mansion standing in front of the door of the Liu Mansion saw Li Mingtang's figure, they didn't need to make a sound, someone entered to report, and there was an old man who looked like a housekeeper of the Liu Mansion hurriedly ran out and saluted Li Mingtang.

"Lord County Commander, dare to ask Lord County Commander why he suddenly came to Liu's Mansion today?"

When Li Mingtang saw the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion in front of him, he greeted him as soon as he came out, but directly ignored the handsome, noble, and easy-going prince around him, and secretly scolded in his heart whether these people were all blind.

I can't tell the big and small kings!

Li Mingtang immediately spoke up, "It's not that the official came to your Liu Mansion, it's that this prince came to your Liu Mansion for something." ”

"Call your master here."

Li Mingtang said, and the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion seemed to notice Cheng Guang standing next to Li Mingtang.

When I saw Cheng Guang dressed in gorgeous clothes, there was a faint smile on his handsome face, and he looked very easy-going, but before he got close, he could feel an amazing aura of dignity from his body.

The old eyes of the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion shrank, and he really didn't know what kind of noble person he was, who could make Li Mingtang, a county magistrate, treat him so carefully.

Shizi ......

There are not many people who can be called the son of the world.

The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion was just a small person, his vision was too low, and he couldn't figure out Cheng Guang's identity, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly greeted Cheng Guang and invited everyone into the mansion.

Although Liu's Mansion is not big, it is much smaller than the Zhenguo Mansion, but fortunately, although the sparrows are small, they have all the things that should be there.

After entering the welcome hall of Liu's mansion, he just sat down.

Then a middle-aged man walked in with several women and an old man.

Their eyes first fell on Li Mingtang.

I was also shocked to see this county magistrate suddenly come to Liu's Mansion.

I didn't expect what the housekeeper said to be true.

I didn't know why this county magistrate suddenly came to Liu's mansion, and I was confused, and I just wanted to say something to Li Mingtang, the county magistrate.

Li Mingtang was directly helpless.

He himself is quite a figure in Ping'an County, but as soon as he leaves Ping'an County, he is a fart.

In front of the prince, he is not even a little sesame.

These people hold themselves so high one by one, and they all salute themselves first, if it is because of this, he has evil the world, then he really wants to behead all these people in Liu Mansion.

When the head of the Liu Mansion was about to speak, he hurriedly got up and introduced the head of the Liu Mansion:

"Liu Hao, this is the prince of Zhenguo, I came to your house today to find someone."

Liu Hao, the head of the Liu Mansion, was stunned when he heard Li Mingtang's words.

The prince of Zhenguo?

Liu Hao didn't react at first, but the old men and women around him changed slightly, and their legs and feet were a little weak.

During this time, it can be said that everyone knows and admires the existence in Kyoto.

Even if their information is not well-informed, Heian Prefecture, which is relatively close to Kyoto, still faintly circulates the deeds of the prince of Zhenguo.

As soon as they heard that this prince of Zhenguo, who was considered the top nobleman in the entire Great Zhou, they didn't talk about it on weekdays, but they could just listen to his deeds, and they could be satisfied, and they actually appeared in their mansion today, and they felt like they were dreaming for a while.

Although Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted, and he was slightly puzzled in surprise, wondering what this noble prince of Zhenguo was doing when he suddenly came to their Liu Mansion.

Their Liu Mansion is an ordinary family, although they have climbed the high branches of a nobleman, they are not a powerful family.

I can't afford to be too frightened.

Liu Hao immediately cautiously dropped his gaze to the upper seat, and Cheng Guang, who was light and light, sat indifferently on the side.

Just by glancing at Cheng Guang, Liu Hao felt that he was facing a big mountain.

Such a noble man can kill him with one sentence.

An inexplicable pressure hung over his heart.

Liu Hao swallowed his spit with a little difficulty, and slowly asked, "Who is the prince looking for in my Liu Mansion?" ”

Cheng Guang raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Hao.

"Does Zhang Shunlong know?"

Liu Hao's face was stunned when he heard what Cheng Guang said, he obviously couldn't imagine that he could hear Zhang Shunlong's three words from Cheng Guang, the noble prince.

Liu Hao hurriedly nodded, "I know, Shizi, this Zhang Shunlong is a slave in my mansion." ”

When Cheng Guang heard Liu Hao say this, his heart felt a little relieved.

Sure enough, it was much easier to find Zhang Shunlong.

The task of getting to know Zhang Shunlong does not seem to be difficult to complete.

Cheng Guang asked casually, "What is Zhang Shunlong's character?" ”

Cheng Guang asked casually.

Liu Hao observed Cheng Guang's expression, although he was not sure about Cheng Guang, the noble prince, why he came to his mansion to look for Zhang Shunlong, but he thought that Zhang Shunlong would never be able to climb such a noble person as the prince.

So immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"Zhang Shunlong is lazy and not very obedient, he has made a lot of mistakes in recent days, and he has been punished a lot by the people in the house."

"Oh?" Cheng Guang's face was strange.

He looked at Liu Hao and found that Liu Hao felt like he was gritting his teeth when he mentioned Zhang Shunlong.

It stands to reason that Liu Hao is a master of the family, even if the slave is disobedient, it is no problem to kill at will, but Liu Hao showed such hatred for Zhang Shunlong, but he still did not kill one of them directly.

On the contrary, it is quite gnashing of teeth.

That's weird.

Cheng Guang was silent on the surface, stood up, and said, "Master Liu, take me to meet this Zhang Shunlong." ”

When Liu Hao heard Cheng Guang say this, he hesitated a little, as if he didn't want to take Cheng Guang to see Zhang Shunlong, but he didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly glanced at the few women around him, and then said respectfully:

"Shizi, why don't you rest here for a while, and I'll send someone to bring that Zhang Shunlong over?"

Cheng Guang shook his head, "No need, take me over directly." ”

As soon as Cheng Guang said this, Liu Hao still wanted to say something, but Li Mingtang on the side glanced over and frowned slightly.

"Master Liu, you just do what the prince says."

Li Mingtang didn't understand, why Liu Hao didn't want to take Cheng Guang to see Zhang Shunlong, what was so unpleasant.

Liu Hao only felt a lot of pressure in his heart now, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept leaking out of his forehead, and it was not good to say anything.

hurriedly took Cheng Guang to go.

After passing through several courtyards and corridors, we came to a deserted, damp, moss-covered wooden house.

It's just that when I get outside the wooden house, before I get closer, I can smell a smell of blood.

Cheng Guang frowned slightly.

It stands to reason that even if a slave lives in a place that is a little worse, it is not in such a deserted house.

Zhang Shunlong is so unpopular?

Thinking of the True Yang Martial God who can set off a storm in the entire Great Zhou in the future, in such a situation now, Cheng Guang can't help but sigh for a while.

Liu Hao was also a little embarrassed at this time, glared at a woman beside him, and hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the door.

The door of the house is open.

A slightly narrow space comes into view.

Cheng Guang glanced at it, in the wooden house, in addition to some scattered daily necessities, there was only a slightly dilapidated door panel, and a few red bricks were stacked under it, which served as a bed.

A thin-looking, slender young man lay on the bed, wrapped in a few stained rags, and a faint smell of blood emanated from his body.

As soon as the door of the hut was pushed open, the young man had already noticed.

He struggled to sit up and looked at the group in silence.

When his eyes swept over Cheng Guang and the others, although he was a little surprised, he didn't say much.

Only when his gaze swept over the head of the Liu Mansion and the others, would there be some hidden hatred and helpless pain in his eyes.

"Zhang Shunlong, this noble man is looking for you."

Liu Hao was afraid that Zhang Shunlong at this time would say something inappropriate, so he hurriedly spoke up.

When Zhang Shunlong heard Liu Hao's words, his thin face did not change much, his eyes looked at Cheng Guang, and he didn't have much respect, but just said without saltiness.

"Noble? It seems that he is a big figure again. ”

"The head of the Liu family is really a good means, and the nobles who climb up one after another."

Liu Hao heard the mockery hidden in Zhang Shunlong's tone, and gritted his teeth in anger.

"Bastard, what nonsense!"

Immediately waved out one hand, wanting to slap Zhang Shunlong and let him speak well.

Cheng Guang's gaze fell on Lin Cheng on the side.

Lin Cheng didn't need Cheng Guang to make a sound, he knew what Cheng Guang meant, and immediately held the wrist of Liu Hao, the head of the Liu Mansion, with one hand.

Push slightly.

Liu Hao's cultivation is nothing more than a physical realm, where is Lin Cheng, such an opponent of the Divine Ability Realm, was pinched by Lin Cheng like this, bent over in pain, and begged for mercy with grinning teeth.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

Lin Cheng silently threw it aside, "The prince hasn't spoken yet, don't move." ”

Liu Hao held his wrist, even if Lin Cheng didn't use much strength, Liu Hao felt that his wrist was almost broken, and the pain made his breathing stagnate slightly, and he didn't dare to say more.

At the same time, Liu Hao was also paying attention to Cheng Guang and Zhang Shunlong not far away.

When Liu Hao came here, he didn't understand what Cheng Guang was looking for a person like Zhang Shunlong.

He doesn't understand.

It's not just that he doesn't understand.

Li Mingtang on the side, as well as a group of people in the Liu Mansion, didn't understand.

Cheng Guang didn't mean to explain to them, and looked at Zhang Shunlong.

seems to be thinking about how to get acquainted with this Zhang Shunlong.

To get acquainted is to get the other person's appreciation and become friends.

I don't know why, Cheng Guang noticed that Zhang Shunlong looked at him with a kind of hatred.

It wasn't hatred for him as a person, it was hatred for the powerful.

In the future, Zhang Shunlong wants to establish a dynasty without the existence of powerful people, which may be the introduction planted at this time.

It's just that Cheng Guang still doesn't know what makes Zhang Shunlong hate the powerful so much.

Even in the case of silver theft, Zhang Shunlong and his father Zhang Heling were framed, and it would not make him hate the powerful so much.

Cheng Guang thought about it in his heart and decided to lower the resistance to him in Zhang Shunlong's heart first.

"Zhang Shunlong, do you want to get rid of the status of a slave?"

When Zhang Shunlong heard Cheng Guang's words, he was stunned.

Obviously, he didn't expect Cheng Guang to say such a sentence.

After being stunned for a moment.

Laughter ensued.

"Get rid of slavery?"

"What if you get rid of it?"

"I'm alone, whether I'm dead or alive, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Cheng Guang frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Shunlong's face like a dead face.

Zhang Shunlong was already born with the will to die at this time, but he still had a breath to hang him at the end, not letting him die so simply.

Is it his father?

Cheng Guang continued: "I can help you get your father out." ”

For Cheng Guang, fishing out Zhang Shunlong's father is a convenient thing.

Not to mention that Zhang Shunlong's father Zhang Heling did not steal the silver treasury, even if he really stole it, and Zhang Heling was acquitted, Cheng Guang was a matter of one sentence.

When Zhang Shunlong heard Cheng Guang's words, as if he was in a dream, he raised his eyes sharply and looked at Cheng Guang a few times in disbelief.

Seeing that Cheng Guang's face didn't seem to be joking, his heart fluttered a few more times.

But he didn't immediately beg Cheng Guang to help him save his father.

In Zhang Shunlong's opinion, there is no free lunch in the world, and it is impossible for a noble person like Cheng Guang to want to help him for no reason, it must be for something.

But Zhang Shunlong thought about it again and found that there was nothing on him except for his own rotten life.

He couldn't understand why Cheng Guang would help him.

So for a while, I fell into a deep confusion.

After a while, Zhang Shunlong's eyes were staring at Cheng Guang tightly, his thin face was slightly moved, and his eyes trembled.

"You...... You...... What you say is true? ”

"If you can really save my father, no matter what...... Whatever your nobles ask me to do, I will say yes! ”

After that, Zhang Shunlong struggled to his body, got up from the door bed, and knelt in front of Cheng Guang, his voice was slightly hoarse, his eyes were red and full of grief.

"My father, he ...... He was wronged! ”

"He has ever stolen silver taels from the treasury, he won't do that, he won't do it."

Cheng Guang was not much surprised by this, and he also knew that Zhang Heling's theft of the silver treasury was strange.

looked at Zhang Shunlong silently.

After a while, his gaze fell on Li Mingtang, the county magistrate on the side.

"Li County Order, you also heard it, I think the case of Zhang Heling stealing the silver treasury is strange, you can investigate it again."

Li Mingtang heard Cheng Guang's words, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly responded.

Although he knew that this matter had been settled, and Zhang Heling was originally going to be punished, but since the prince wanted to overturn the case, even if it was black, he would dye it white.

The way to be an official is not so simple.

Li Mingtang knew that if he listened to the son, he might not get much benefit, but if he disobeyed the son's order, he would definitely be miserable.

"Shizi, I'll go back right away and send someone to investigate Zhang Heling's case again."

Cheng Guang nodded, looked at Zhang Shunlong, and said, "What else do you want?" ”

Zhang Heling's matter, Cheng Guang agreed to help Zhang Shunlong solve it, he obviously didn't have the initial hatred for Cheng Guang, but he still didn't understand why Cheng Guang helped him like this.

So Zhang Shunlong didn't dare to say anything, but he seemed to think of something in his heart, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he pressed them helplessly.

"The villain, the villain didn't ask for it."

As soon as Zhang Shunlong's words came out, Liu Hao on the side instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this Zhang Shunlong is still sensible, if it ruins the good things of their Liu family, and then angers that nobleman, this time the prince will come to help him, and next time there may not be the son of the world to help him.

Liu Hao still didn't know at this time, why Cheng Guang, the noble prince, valued Zhang Shunlong so much, in order not to have an accident, he hurriedly said:

"Shizi, it's getting late now, do you want to have some meals in the house?"

Cheng Guang shook his head, looking at Zhang Shunlong who still had something on his mind, but he didn't want to say anything.

He looked at his assignment.

It's not done yet.

There was no movement at all.

Obviously.

He helped Zhang Shunlong rescue his father in this way, although he was a little grateful to himself, but he had not yet reached the relationship between him and Zhang Shunlong and became friends.

It has to go a little deeper.

Either help Zhang Shunlong, solve all the troubles on him, make him grateful to himself, and contact him more later, and the task will naturally be completed.

Or directly use the Charm Pupil to forcibly complete the task.

Although the second method is simple and simple, once Zhang Shunlong has an epiphany in the future, his cultivation will improve rapidly, and the pupil of charm will not have much effect, and he may bury some hidden dangers because of this kind of thing in the future.

This is the strongest celestial in the world in the future, and it can't be so simple and simple.

Cheng Guang thought about it for a while, and decided that Zhang Shunlong would solve all the troubles on him.

Even if you can't have a close relationship with Zhang Shunlong, at least with this kindness, not only will you gain the favor of a powerful celestial in the future, but you can also complete the task in the future.

Other than that.

Cheng Guang knew that there was still a secret in this matter.

Zhang Shunlong has such hatred for the powerful, and Cheng Guang still doesn't know where Zhang Shunlong's hatred came from.

It seems to be related to the head of the Liu Mansion, and it also seems to be related to someone he doesn't know.

Ask Zhang Shunlong directly, he may not say.

Thinking of a certain noble person who had climbed up in Liu's mansion recently, Cheng Guang was thoughtful.

At present, we have to find a breakthrough from Liu Hao, the head of the Liu family.

Cheng Guang thought about this, then turned around and went out and walked out.

Liu Hao, the head of the Liu Mansion, was relieved when he saw Cheng Guang leaving from Zhang Shunlong's place.

Following Cheng Guang's footsteps, after walking for a while.

Cheng Guang's footsteps paused slightly.

He stopped.

His eyes fell on Liu Hao.

"Master Liu."

Liu Hao was stared at by Cheng Guang's gaze, and felt an inexplicable pressure, and after swallowing the foam dryly, he hurriedly smiled dryly: "Shizi, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Guangdao: "This Zhang Shunlong has offended your Liu Mansion? ”

Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where...... Where the words ......"

"There is no such thing."

In front of Cheng Guang, Liu Hao was extremely nervous, even if he was lying, he was a little stammering.

Cheng Guang glanced at Liu Hao, and only felt that this person's acting skills were really clumsy, worse than his acting skills.

"Speak well." Cheng Guang repeated.

Liu Hao looked at Cheng Guang's indifferent expression, his face was stiff, and he looked in all directions as if asking for help, and looked at the women around him and the old man in Liu's mansion, but everyone didn't dare to say more.

Liu Hao finally sighed, Cheng Guang still put too much pressure on him, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore.

"Yes...... There's such a thing......"

"It's just that it's not offended, it's not offended......

Liu Hao spoke in a difficult tone.

"Oh?" Cheng Guang looked at Liu Hao.

Li Mingtang on the side obviously didn't know that there was such a thing in this.

If Zhang Shunlong offended the Liu Mansion, why was the Liu Mansion willing to take in Zhang Shunlong, who was demoted to a slave?

There's a bit of a weird thing going on here.

Could it be that Zhang Heling was really wronged?

Li Mingtang's brows jumped slightly, and he only felt a toothache.

Damn, damn it, I don't know which bastard did his hands and feet, he usually does just his hands and feet, why did he still lure the son of the world over, and even asked about it!

Li Mingtang can be a county magistrate, and naturally he is not a stupid person, he immediately thought that Liu Mansion had recently climbed a nobleman, and the third daughter of her family was going to marry that nobleman.

And as far as he knew.

The third daughter of Liu Fu used to seem to have had a lot of contact with Zhang Shunlong......

Think of it here......

Li Mingtang instantly understood what was going on.

I just think it's ridiculous.

Although he understood everything, he didn't dare to say much at this time.

After all, behind this matter, there is also a noble figure, and the identity of the noble person does not seem to be simple.

He is a small county magistrate, and he doesn't dare to get involved in this kind of thing.
