Chapter 372: Who's True and Who Isn't?

The two sat on the boat, Zhao Ruxi looked at Zhang Bairen's sleeve curiously, if he wasn't afraid of being rude, he would probably come over and touch it, and look at what was in the sleeve.

"The Sanyang Fire Talisman is buried deep underground, no one can take it out, your ancestor is too worried" Zhang Bairen smiled.

"It's not to check the Sanyang Fire Talisman, but to accompany my junior brother to look for someone outside the Saiwai" Zhao Ruxi sighed lightly: "But I was separated halfway through for some reason." ”

"Looking for someone?" Zhang Bairen was noncommittal, did not continue to answer, let alone help the other party to find it, everyone met in Pingshui, who knows who you are looking for?

The two talked about the mysteries all the way, from the past to the present, and convinced Zhao Ruxi with Zhang Bairen's insight.

Looking at this standard little white face, the skin is delicate and the face is slightly soft, Zhang Bairen did not debunk it, this guy is a Xibei goods.

"Mr. Xiao is knowledgeable, and I don't know that woman is lucky enough to marry Mr. Xiao in the future" Zhao Ruxi sighed lightly, at this time the sky was gray, the cold wind in the air hit, and there were clouds and rain gathering vaguely.

Zhang Bairen smiled: "Everything has its own providence. ”

As he spoke, he could already see the outline of the Zhuojun city in the distance, when the sky was dark and the moon was rising in the east.

"Dao Chief, let's separate here!" Zhang Bairen jumped ashore.

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Thank you for your help, if you come to Zhuojun on horseback, you have to make my thighs rotten." ”

Zhang Bairen shook his sleeves, and the horses fell to the ground.

"Meet again" Zhang Bairen took one step, shrunk into inches and disappeared into the cold north wind.

Looking at Zhang Bairen's distant back, Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "Like, really like! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ruxi rode his horse and headed towards Zhuojun City.

In Chengnan Manor, Zhang Bairen stopped in front of the gate, and when the two guards saw Zhang Bairen who suddenly appeared, they immediately rubbed their eyes, and then said with astonishment: "Lord Governor, our brothers should not be mistaken!"

Of course you read that right!

"Thank you for your hard work" Zhang Bairen smiled and walked into the manor, the soles of his feet stepped on the soft snowflakes, leaving clearly visible traces.

Chaimen heard the dog barking, and returned to the people on a snowy night.

"Mother, I'm back!" Walking in the manor, Zhang Bairen shouted from afar.

"You kid, but you're finally back, you miss your mother!" Zhang's mother's courtyard door opened suddenly, looking at Zhang Bairen, who had grown a lot, Zhang's mother burst into tears and hugged Zhang Bairen in an instant.

"Squeak"

The gate of the courtyard on the side opened, Zhang Bairen showed a weird smile, and Zhang Lihua appeared outside the gate and squeezed her eyes at Zhang Bairen.

"Mother, it's too cold outside, let's go in and talk!" Zhang Bairen said.

When Zhang Lihua heard this, she stepped forward to support Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother nodded again and again: "Go in and say! Go in and say! It's too cold outside, don't freeze my son." ”

When the three of them entered the house, the fire was blazing, and the room was warm and drowsy.

"Where did you run away for more than half a year, and there has been no news from you" Zhang's mother glared at Zhang Bairen and reprimanded her fiercely.

Zhang Bairen lowered his head, like a bear child who had done something wrong: "Practicing in retreat in the General's Mansion, martial arts cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you can't delay." With this cultivation, the child forgets the time. ”

Hearing Zhang Bairen say this, Zhang's mother looked at the maidservant on the side: "Tell the kitchen to prepare some supper." ”

Zhang's mother asked for warmth, and she was extremely happy, but she told Zhang Bairen that she didn't know what to do.

After eating supper, I returned to the study with Zhang Lihua, Zhang Lihua hugged Zhang Bairen, and did not shy away from being taken advantage of by Zhang Bairen.

Looking at the face that was more delicate than flowers, he exhaled softly in Zhang Bairen's ear, and Zhang Bairen seemed to have a kitten scratching in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lihua looked at Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly: "I'm still one step away from returning the jade liquid, so you can spare me!"

Zhang Bairen pushed Zhang Lihua away.

Zhang Lihua covered her mouth and smiled, and smiled stupidly: "Okay, I won't tease you, there are a lot of things to deal with when I come back this time." ”

Zhang Bairen sighed: "What about Ma Youcai?"

"I'm locked up in the backyard," Zhang Lihua said.

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and he will be dealt with tomorrow" Zhang Bairen slowly closed his eyes: "How is the training of Tianting?"

"Everything is on the right track" Zhang Lihua hugged Zhang Bairen again and held Zhang Bairen's earlobe.

Zhang Bairen shuddered, quickly pushed Zhang Lihua away, and said with a wry smile: "Don't make trouble!"

"Hee-hee-hee" Zhang Lihua turned around and extinguished the candle flame and got into the bed, seeing that Zhang Bairen's scalp was a little numb.

After a night of struggle, Zhang Lihua didn't take Zhang Bairen after all, and got dressed in a daze, Zhang Bairen looked at Zhang Lihua: "Lihua, you can sleep for a while." ”

"I can't sleep, the concubine is now practicing martial arts, and her spirit is strong, but she can't sleep" Zhang Lihua's jade arm stretched out and helped Zhang Bairen tidy up his clothes.

After a little washing, I came to the yard, Zhang Lihua writhed in the yard like a snake, Zhang Bairen had a big sleeve, and ten crows flew out, standing honestly on the crossbar not far away, staring at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes.

A small piece of yellow essence flew out and was devoured by ten crows, and then washed the crow's body with the power of the sun, Qiaoyingzi ran out to forage for food, and waited until Zhang Lihua's set of boxing exercises were completed.

In the underground secret room, looking at the thousands of boys reciting poetry books, Zhang Bairen nodded, and said to Zhang Lihua on the side: "Call Ma Youcai in." ”

When the guards heard this, they saw Ma Youcai, who had a miserable face, and was carried by two warriors to the field, and fell to the ground with a plop: "Mr. spare your life! Mr. spare your life! It's really not a villain's doing, it's really not a villain's doing!"

"Really?" Zhang Bairen looked at the unkempt and ragged Ma Youcai: "There is news in Dunhuang that you colluded with Dunhuang bandits and robbed my son's goods, what do you have to say?"

"The subordinates are wronged! the subordinates are wronged!" Ma Youcai kowtowed again and again, his forehead was red and swollen.

"Wronged?" Zhang Bairen closed his eyes, and after a while, he said, "Bring it in!"

A burst of heavy footsteps sounded, and Zhang Bairen looked at Ma Youcai: "Do you recognize this person?"

"Lord, he is the robber who robbed the goods," Ma Youcai said without hesitation.

After listening to Ma Youcai's words, Zhang Bairen nodded: "It's good to recognize it!"

"Kneel!" a guard hit the bandit on the knee with a stick, and the bandit fell to the ground and knelt down with a 'poof'.

"Let's talk about it, do you know the person in front of you?Why did you steal the goods of this son?" Zhang Bairen looked at the bandit with a pair of eyes: "If you recruit truthfully, I will let you live, if you dare to talk nonsense, today is your death date." ”

"Let me live, this will deceive the child, if you are willing to let me live, the sow can go up the tree" The bandit leader said in a low voice.

"It's also a smart person, although I can't let you go, but it's no problem to give you a good time" Zhang Bairen slowly lowered his head and looked down at the bandits: "Tell me, do you know the person in front of you, is there any collusion between you?"

The bandit looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes, and said after a while: "That's a cargo worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, who wouldn't be tempted? You are really naΓ―ve, you actually handed over this kind of thing to an outsider to do, this kid discussed with me at the beginning, thinking of swindling to death in the desert, and then fleeing with treasures, who knew that this guy had too much appetite, and actually wanted eighty percent of the goods, so we talked about it, and began to kill this kid, this kid was too lucky, and actually escaped." ”

"Nonsense, you spew blood!" Ma Youcai on the side roared angrily: "Sir, he slandered me." ”

"Is there any evidence?" Zhang Bairen looked at the bandit leader.

"How can such a thing leave evidence," the bandit leader sneered.

"Sir, he slandered me! He slandered me! At the beginning, the villain just wanted to embezzle 5,000 taels of silver, but the villain absolutely did not collude with the bandits! The goods of hundreds of thousands of silver could not be found out by the villain who was greedy for 5,000 taels of ink, but the villain absolutely did not collude with the bandits!" Ma Youcai begged again and again.

Zhang Bairen took a deep breath: "Forget it, it's not too late for me to find out about this matter, let's take it all down!"

"Sir, I am wronged, I am wronged......" Ma Youcai's voice gradually faded away.

ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone.
