Chapter 40: Returning Home
The demise of an existence like the tyrants is definitely not a trivial matter in the rivers and lakes.
Wuwang Pavilion, Guangyuan Tiejia destroyed the Badaomen, which was also interspersed with a peerless master.
The rivers and lakes are naturally turbulent, and it is difficult to be peaceful.
But this has nothing to do with Zhang Ning.
There are too many things on the rivers and lakes, and they are too bad, for Zhang Ning, it is better to live by guarding his own one-third of an acre. Although because of the ancestors' legacy, Zhang Ning was trapped in Qidu.
But in fact, Zhang Ning is also willing to enjoy such peace for a few more years.
Although the rivers and lakes are wonderful, they are not as comfortable as the market.
Although the heroes are downright, they are not as easy to get along with as the neighbors. Since you don't seek fame and fortune, why bother to walk around the rivers and lakes?
This day is November 28, and the birthday of Li Ganning, the Duke of Ningguo, is on the first day of December. Zhang Ning can be said to have returned to Qidu before his birthday.
Before returning to Qidu, Zhang Ning had already changed a set of clothes. The brown cloth shoes made Zhang Ning look like a very handsome and clean flat-headed person.
No one can believe that this is the mysterious man on a rainy night who shook the rivers and lakes, and the peerless master is nameless.
Zhang Ning returned to Liujia Lane, the neighborhood, and went to Liujia to report his safety as usual.
"Brother Zhang, you're back. Liu Xiuxiu invited Zhang Ning to the lobby as usual, made a cup of tea and washed Zhang Ning's dust, looking very happy.
Zhang Ning touched Xiuxiu's hair with a smile, and then asked, "Are you okay at home these days?"
"That's good. The New Year is approaching, and my mother has begun to sell New Year's goods. Brother Zhang, what do you want to eat, I'll ask my mother to buy it back. ”
was touched by Zhang Ning, Liu Xiuxiu squinted and was very happy.
It's been a long time since I said goodbye, and I was touched by Brother Zhang again, it's really good.
"Zhang Ji's walnut crisp, buy more walnuts, melon seeds and other dry goods. We have to have a good New Year, eat and drink well. Zhang Ning was not hypocritical, and said with a smile.
"Okay. Liu Xiuxiu nodded and wrote it down.
Zhang Ning accompanied Xiuxiu to talk, looked at Liu's mother again, and then left Liu's house. However, he did not go home, but changed into the prisoner's kung fu, equipped with a lancet, and went to the prison.
Compared with others, looking after the cell is Zhang Ning's job. However, Zhang Ning has not been to work for several months, and of course there is no shift.
Of course, Zhang Ning was still able to enter and leave the prison freely. After entering the prison, Zhang Ning saw Chen Chunhua resting in the small room with the prisoners.
Chen Chunhua sat on a bench, drinking wine and peeling peanuts to eat. After seeing Zhang Ning, Chen Chunhua scolded with a smile: "You kid is finally back." ”
Zhang Ning nodded, then came up and bowed to Chen Chunhua and said, "Thank you Uncle Chen for carrying around during this time." ”
"What's the matter, thank you. Chen Chunhua waved her hand, and then said, "Since you're back, let's go to work." Starting tomorrow you work the day shift. ”
Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "Uncle Chen, I still have very important things to do before the year, so I will go to work until the end of the year." ”
Chen Chunhua and the prisoners were dumbfounded when they heard this, is this still a prisoner? Chen Chunhua scolded with a smile: "Yes, since you are not here to work, what are you doing in the prison?"
"I'll take a look at Wang Xiaojiang. Zhang Ning said.
"He's doing well, eating and drinking. By the way, speaking of which. You also have to give an account of the money, after all, it will be quite expensive to take care of Wang Xiao. ”
Chen Chunhua said.
Zhang Ning remembered that he still had to pay out of his own pocket to take care of Wang Xiaojiang. Zhang Ning didn't care, and directly took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and handed it to Chen Chunhua.
"If you have any more, please drink from your brothers. Zhang Ning said.
Seeing this, Chen Chunhua and the prisoners were not surprised, they were not surprised.
"You know that your family is rich, but you are a big family. But then again, your family is so rich. Why do you want to be a prisoner, isn't it good to enjoy happiness?" Chen Chunhua folded the silver ticket in half and asked curiously.
"I don't dare not do the errand handed down by my ancestors. Zhang Ning said casually. After talking to Chen Chunhua and other prisoners, Zhang Ning went to see Wang Xiaojiang.
It has been several months since Zhang Ning left the prison, and there are far fewer prisoners in the prison. Those who ask for chopping ask for chopping, and those who die of illness die of illness. It is also good that there are fewer prisoners, and the air in this cell has become much better.
Wang Xiao will still live in the cell arranged by Zhang Ning, with a bed, a table and benches, and an oil lamp, and some books on the table.
Wang Xiaojiang looked pretty good, but when Zhang Ning saw him, he was full of red light, and his figure was slightly fat.
Zhang Ning couldn't help admiring in his heart, most people would be extremely afraid of death, but Wang Xiao would have an extraordinary open-mindedness.
"Little brother, can the matter be done?" Wang Xiaojiang also saw Zhang Ning, put down the scroll in his hand, and said with a smile and concern.
Because of Zhang Ning, Wang Xiao is more familiar with the prisoners. General Wang Xiao was also very grateful to Zhang Ning for taking care of him, and when he saw that Zhang Ning had not been seen for several months, he asked the prisoners for news.
knew that Zhang Ning went out to run errands.
"Prince Lao is worried, and the matter is done. Zhang Ning said as he opened the chain and walked into the cell.
"Huh. Wang Xiao smiled and touched his beard.
"Prince, nine thousand years old have taken you into a prison, and he will neither interrogate nor ignore you. Do you know why?" Zhang Ning asked as he sat down on another bench.
"I don't know, Zhang Baigong's personality is weird, and no one can guess what he is thinking. However, the old man estimated that it would be impossible to escape death. Wang Xiao said.
That Zhang Baigong is indeed weird, he wants Wang Xiao to checkmate, but he doesn't know when to let Wang Xiao checkmate. Waiting for death is the hardest, do you plan to let Wang Xiao wait in the prison for three or five years?
Zhang Ning thought about it and didn't talk about it, Zhang Ning said to General Wang Xiao again: "This time I went out to do business, but I encountered two things related to you, the prince. ”
"It's a miracle. Wang Xiao glared slightly, a little incredulous. One of them is a former member of the imperial court, and the other is a person from Tianjian.
Zhang Ning went out to run errands, and he was able to encounter something related to him.
"First things first, I'll tell you. Believe it or not. Zhang Ning said a word, and then said: "I can pass through ghosts and gods, and I can come and go in and out of the Yin Division freely." Not long ago, I entered the Yin Division and met your teacher, Choi Sung-hwa. Because Cui Chenghua became an official Qingzheng, he was recruited by Yin Si, and is currently the Jinggi Chenghuang of Qi State, known as King Cui. Cui Chenghua said to me, you are an upright official, and after you die, I am afraid that you will follow in his footsteps and enter the Yin Division as a great official. ”
After hearing this, General Wang Xiao felt dumbfounded, most of the people in the world are suspicious of this Yin Si matter. The same is true for Wang Xiaojiang, because it can neither be proved that Yin Si exists, nor can it be proved that Yin Si does not exist.
However, Wang Xiao will be a former member of the imperial court, and he has indeed heard some secrets.
And Zhang Ning doesn't seem to be a person who can lie.
"I didn't expect my teacher Cui to have such an opportunity. Wang Xiaojiang sighed, and then asked, "What about the second thing?"
Zhang Ning admired it even more when he saw this, and his demeanor was calm when he died, which was already rare. Knowing that he will soar after his death, he is neither surprised nor happy, and it is even more rare.
Wang Xiao will not be an idle person.
