The officials of the Wuzhou court, led by Gao Yimin, made two preparations. The first is to ask the people patrolling the house to strengthen the investigation and find out if there is a powerful black snake demon hidden in Bailong Lake.

It is estimated that it is unlikely to be detected.

Because if that black snake demon really existed, it would have been very powerful hundreds of years ago, let alone now. That kind of black snake demon, if it really exists, and wants to show its feet, it would have been known to the world for a long time.

And there has been no movement of the black snake demon in the past few hundred years, I am afraid that the black snake demon will either slip away or hide.

Either way, it's hard to find it, so you can only do your best.

The second preparation is that these court officials headed by Gao Yimin jointly wrote to the court and asked the emperor to call the shots. In fact, it is to let Zhang Baigong make a decision, what to do.

This message may or may not be true.

Whether you Zhang Baigong want to move the people inside and outside Hangzhou and rescue the people is your Zhang Baigong's business.

In other words.

Zhang Ning originally planned to let these officials immediately move the people away and wait for the end of this Jiazi year, but these officials didn't do it and pushed the pot to Zhang Baigong.

Failure to take up this responsibility.

After these Wuzhou court officials made a decision in the courtyard, they accused the master of the Li family's little sister and left in a hurry.

"Brother Zhang, don't be angry, these people are all fritters in officialdom. And the people who migrated inside and outside the city were really too big to be held responsible. ”

The little sister of the Li family is very smart, and after these officials left, she picked up the teacup and handed it to Zhang Ning, and said softly.

"It's understandable, after all, I'm not in my position, and I can't force them. Zhang Ning stretched out his hand and took a sip of the teacup, then said with a smile: "Hussars don't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

The little sister of the Li family was relieved at this time, and then sat down and asked, "Brother Zhang, what should we do?"

"Sit back and wait for Zhang Baigong to make a decision. Zhang Ning said. The appearance of Zhang Baigong appeared in his mind, he had never seen Zhang Baigong's true face, but only saw Zhang Baigong's pseudonym Chen Qinglan, the woman Jiayi.

This man is very complicated, he can not only kill decisively, dictate the government, but also personally turn into a woman to go outside the city to give porridge to the victims.

He is not greedy for money and corruption, can appoint talents, does not avoid the party's promotion of honest and capable ministers, and is very generous.

Zhang Ning thought about it, but he had some expectations for Zhang Baigong.

"What if Zhang Baigong doesn't believe in this matter and waits to see what happens?" said the little sister of the Li family.

"Then let's wait, when the water level of Bailong Lake soars and the black snake demon appears, I will slaughter the black snake demon, but at that time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties among the people inside and outside Hangzhou. ”

Zhang Ning's tone was very calm.

He decided to take care of this matter, he had done everything he could, and he could accept any result.

Next, it depends on Zhang Baigong's decisiveness and the luck of the people inside and outside the city.

"Hey. The little sister of the Li family sighed, worried. Even hard-hearted people are afraid that they will worry about hundreds of thousands of people in Hangzhou, not to mention countless people outside the city.

And the little sister of the Li family is also kind-hearted, so she is naturally very worried.

"Don't think about it, it's not for you to meddle in. Sleep early. Zhang Ning comforted the little sister of the Li family.

"Hmm. The little sister of the Li family was very docile in front of Zhang Ning, and she snorted. Then the two of them left the elegant hall together and went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ning and Bai Shujing made an appointment to meet at Jinshan Temple.

Jinshan Temple is still the same, dilapidated and not in shape, and the wood in the house smells of rot one after another, which is a little pungent.

There is only one monk in the temple, and his master and brother have not yet returned.

However, Monk Qingneng's face was much better, because Zhang Ning and Bai Shujing had donated a lot of merit to Jinshan Temple, although it would not be able to rebuild the temple, but it could also be renovated.

The rest can still buy some food stockpiles.

This little monk is quite clever, seeing that Zhang Ning came to Jinshan Temple first, and then Bai Shujing came. Under the pretext of going out to make a fortune, he simply threw the entire temple to the two of them.

In front of the Buddha hall, Zhang Ning sat on the threshold very casually, and Bai Shujing stood aside.

"How's the situation?" Bai Shujing said a little nervously.

Zhang Ning raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Shujing, he couldn't treat her as a snake demon who had made waves in the past. Then Zhang Ning told Bai Shujing everything about it.

Bai Shujing has been in Hangzhou for many years, not only has human nature, but also has seen a lot of sophistication, and she knows the mystery when she hears it. He sighed too.

"Although the patrol room is dedicated to dealing with demons, it is difficult to find this black snake, can you find it?"

Zhang Ning asked.

Simple idea.

These two snake demons once attacked Hangzhou together, making waves, Bai Shujing may have a chance to find the black snake demon. If this black snake demon can be found, Zhang Ning can slaughter it and settle this matter directly.

"I could only feel the breath of nothingness, guessing that it was always somewhere, staring at the serpent and the ashes. But I couldn't find it. Bai Shujing said with a wry smile when she heard this.

"Then we can only see it when the water level of Bailong Lake skyrockets. Zhang Ning nodded and said.

"By the way, the water level of Bailong Lake started to rise sharply in the first few months of the Jiazi year. Zhang Ning then asked again.

"It starts on the fifth day of June. Bai Shujing replied.

Her face was perfect, her body was slightly radiating the light of Buddha, and her smile was full of compassion and softness. At this moment, he couldn't laugh, and his brows were furrowed.

The one who is worried seems to be a female bodhisattva.

"No matter what, we've done our best. Zhang Ning comforted him when he saw this, then stood up from the threshold, released his true qi, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and said: "Recuperate, when the time comes, I will slaughter the black snake, and you will try to save some people." ”

"Good. Bai Shujing smiled reluctantly and nodded.

Immediately, Bai Shujing left in the carriage, and Zhang Ning was about to leave, when he saw the monk Qingneng come out. He folded his hands together at Zhang Ning very seriously and solemnly pronounced a Buddha horn.

"Amitabha. ”

"Although the love between men and women is a secular matter, the Buddha has no control over it. But after all, this temple is a pure place for Buddhism, Zhang Shizhu, if you have a tryst with Bai Shizhu next time, please don't choose to be in this temple. ”

A little monk in shabby monk's clothes said this seriously, but Zhang Ning couldn't help but want to smile.

"Good. Zhang Ning didn't explain much, and nodded in response.

"But Master Zhang, although you can't often come to this temple for trysts. But you can come to the incense often, and the Buddha will definitely bless you and the white donor to be happy and have many children and grandchildren. ”

The little monk is a demon again. In fact, he was afraid that he would say too seriously, Zhang Ning would not come to the incense, you must know that there are few pilgrims in Jinshan Temple, especially a generous pilgrim like Zhang Ning, but he is really the first one.

By the way, there is also the white benefactor.

Zhang Ning finally couldn't help laughing.

It's really not bad to be able to come to this Jinshan Temple and meet this peculiar little monk after walking aimlessly.
