Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Change
Zhang Ziming stood in place for a long time, until Qian Miao coughed softly on the side.
Zhang Ziming was busy and helped the drunk Qian Miao to walk towards the Qian Mansion.
Walking to the Qian Mansion, the door was as usual.
Zhang Ziming entered the Qian Mansion, walked into the Qingfeng Courtyard, and placed Qian Miao on the bed.
Wiping the sweat from his head, he laughed softly, "The young master has been getting heavier and heavier recently. β
turned around and prepared to go out and get a pot of hot water, so that Qian Miao could go to drink.
As soon as he went out, he saw the Laiwang steward with two lines of people, carrying torches, and rushing into the courtyard with a fierce momentum.
When Laiwang saw Zhang Ziming, he shouted, "Quickly take down this wolf-hearted and dog-lunged gangster!"
Zhang Ziming was about to salute to Lai Wang, but he was drunk by this, and he was puzzled in his heart, and hurriedly shouted, "Come and take care of things, what does this mean?"
Lai Wang snorted coldly, and said with a cold expression on his face, "What do you mean? You Zhang Ziming used evil magic to win the cultivation qualification of the Young Master Immortal Gate, and you are actually embarrassed to enter this Qian Mansion." β
Zhang Ziming was extremely flustered at this time, and hurriedly explained, "Come and take care of things, Ziming has not practiced evil arts, and besides, the young master is in the house, I will wake up the young master now and testify for Ziming." β
Lai Wang shouted, pointing at Zhang Ziming, "Presumptuous! The young master is generous, and he accidentally suffered from your demon magic for a while, and you still have the face to call the young master!"
"Someone! Quickly take him down, put him in a dungeon, and interrogate him!"
After saying that, with a wave of his hands, the left and right pedestrians were about to rush up and detain Zhang Ziming.
"Come and take care of things, it's so majestic. I didn't even know that in this Qian Mansion, he was already in charge of the house, and if he wanted to arrest the young master, he could catch it. β
When the words fell, I saw Xifeng appear in front of Zhang Ziming, holding a long sword, confronting Laiwang and others.
"I, Xifeng, just want to ask about the matter, what kind of evil art is this Ziming practicing?"
Lai Wang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, the young master's cultivation is profound, if it weren't for Zhang Ziming's practice of some magic and confusing the young master, how could he win the young master in the test." β
"I am the steward of the house, responsible for the education and management of the people in the house, Zhang Ziming is full of suspicions, he must be detained and interrogated, and then handed over to the master to decide. On the young master's side, there will naturally be an explanation in the future. β
Xifeng roared, "Ridiculous! Although you are the manager of the house, Zhang Ziming is a scholar personally selected by the young master, if you want to detain him, hum, I see who has this ability!"
"It's so late, it's so lively. A crisp female voice came.
"I've seen Ruoshui girl...", the people on both sides shouted.
I saw Ruoshui walk into the courtyard with a daffodil embroidered lantern.
When Laiwang saw Ruoshui coming, he calmed down and said, "Ruoshui girl, did you disturb Ruoshui girl?"
Ruoshui glanced at Laiwang, did not respond, took a step forward, and said to Xifeng, "Madame has an order, Zhang Ziming's matter is quite strange, and it should be investigated." β
Then he said to Zhang Ziming, "Brother Ziming, don't be nervous, Madame's intention is to hope that the little brother can prove himself in the stone prison first, and after the investigation is completed, if the little brother really does not practice evil arts and charm the young master, then the little brother must be innocent." β
Xifeng frowned at this time, and said secretly, although the young master and the lady secretly disagreed, they also avoided many things in the past, why did they suddenly make trouble today.
Hurriedly waved his sword and protected Zhang Ziming, "No, this matter still needs to wait for the young master to wake up, and the young master will decide." β
Ruoshui smiled softly, "Brother Xifeng, if Zhang Ziming really has evil arts, at this time, the young master woke up and secretly charmed the young master, wouldn't he fall into Zhang Ziming's arms." Why don't you take him into custody first, wait for the young master to wake up, and then let the young master decide, how about it?"
"Youβ" Xifeng was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Ziming's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "I am willing to go to the stone prison to prove my innocence! I, Zhang Ziming, have not practiced any evil arts!"
An inexplicable smile appeared in Ruoshui's mouth, "It's so good, come here, bring Zhang Ziming into the stone prison, and wait for the old master and young master to decide." β
Zhang Ziming followed Laiwang and his party out of the courtyard, leaving Xifeng alone behind him, standing alone in the dark.
...
The Qianfu Stone Prison is made of dark stones all around, and it is extremely hard, and without a key, outsiders cannot break through it at all.
In the stone prison, Zhang Ziming's hands were firmly locked by a dark iron chain, and he was imprisoned alone in a room deep in the stone prison.
Zhang Ziming looked around and sighed softly, he was still playing in the world before, but at this moment, he was already deep in the stone prison, and the changes in his life were really overwhelming.
Thinking that he thought that he could enter the immortal gate to practice, Zhang Ziming smiled bitterly, and sure enough, he was still too naΓ―ve, thinking that he could really break the class system. I'm afraid that there is the help of the young master, but there will always be people looking for various opportunities to pull themselves into the water.
However, I have no enmity with Steward Laiwang, so why would he... Could it be because of Laishun, Zhang Ziming was secretly shocked in his heart.
For a while, I didn't feel a little wronged, I didn't kill Laishun, and I didn't even know why Laishun died, but Laiwang is now in trouble, and it seems that he thinks that he is the murderer of Laishun, it is Wang Hu What did they say to Laiwang...
The more Zhang Ziming thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and his heart was tangled and troubled.
In this stone prison, there is only a faint candle of fire, which shakes gently, and seems to be swallowed by the darkness around it at any moment.
Suddenly, another sound of footsteps came unhurriedly.
Zhang Ziming looked up, but the person who came was coming to Wang.
I saw that there was a trace of hideousness on Laiwang's originally approachable face, and he looked at Zhang Ziming with a trace of anger in his eyes.
Zhang Zi knew that Laiwang might think that he was the murderer of Laishun, so he hurriedly said, "Lai in charge, did you mishear other people's words and think that I killed Laishun, this is not what I did." β
Lai Wang smacked on the ground and said in a gloomy tone, "Zhang Ziming, you don't need to explain too much. I know the murderer is not you. β
Zhang Ziming was taken aback, "Then why did the steward slander me today under the pretense of witchcraft?"
Lai Wang's face was hideous at this moment, and he laughed loudly, "Why, hahahaha, why? Why do you say why! Just because killing my son is your closest young master on weekdays! Our young master Qian Miao!"
"But young master, what's wrong with him killing a subordinate? It's like pinching an ant to death and throwing away a piece of waste. β
Laiwang was even more hysterical at the moment, "But that's my Laiwang's only son! Even if he is a little wrong, how dare he rush into the young master? Why did the young master put him to death!"
Zhang Ziming looked at Laiwang, who was almost crazy in front of him, and his heart was at a loss.
Why did the young master do this, did Lai Shun not leave with those people at that time, but lurked around... Could it be that Laishun wanted to take the opportunity to kill me at that time, and then was discovered by the young master, but was killed by the young master instead?!
Lai Wang laughed at Zhang Ziming and said, "Zhang Ziming, your mistake is that you are too close to the young master, in the eyes of others, you are almost like siblings, if the young master knows that you bowed your head and confessed your guilt and committed suicide in the stone prison, what kind of expression do you say the young master would have?" β
After that, Lai Wang turned around and turned his back to Zhang Ziming, "Zhang Ziming, you will definitely not survive tonight!"
