Time moved forward a little, and Zhang Qing, who was waiting in the side hall, heard a voice outside, so he looked out through the crack in the window.

The five men who looked like soldiers were invited by a servant to a room next to them, and Zhang Qing guessed that this should be the personal entourage of an adult. The five of them followed the servants into it without saying a word, looking at their capable military atmosphere, the eight achievements were the people of the governor Wu Ding.

After a while, two groups of people came in a row. There were only two people in the previous wave, green robes and fast boots, and they were dressed differently from the people in the government that Zhang Qing had seen, but they were similar to the outfits of the hundred households of the Huinan Mansion that Zhang Shanyi had seen several times in his memory. Then there were quite a few people in the next wave, nearly twenty of them, and the discipline was far inferior to that of the five uniformly acted soldiers. In terms of dressing, there are not only civil and martial arts, but also whispering and laughing.

They were all taken to different rooms to rest, and a small servant was arranged to wait outside the door. When everyone entered the room and there was nothing to see, Zhang Qing returned to his seat, he knew that the adults had arrived, and it would be his turn to appear immediately. While stroking the knife at his side, he thought about the problems he might face later.

After a while, Zhang Qing heard footsteps again, and the heavy voice should be a servant who is not skilled in martial arts. The other party stopped outside Zhang Qing's door and knocked on the door.

Zhang Qing knew that it was time to call himself to the court, so he stood up, straightened his clothes, and stepped forward to open the door. Sure enough, the servant outside the door said respectfully: "Master Zhang, the state lord is invited." ”

Zhang Qing nodded slightly and followed the servant outside. He was located at the far back of the house, so he had to pass by the other three gangs. The doors of the first two groups were closed, but the last group had a large side hall specially arranged due to the large number of people. At this time, the door of the hall was ajar, and when he walked to the door, he heard the noise of people in it, so Zhang Qing glanced at the room.

"Huh?" A cursory glance made Zhang Qing frown, because just after a quick sweep, he saw five or six people sitting in the room, and the others were scattered around. There were quite a few of them, but for some reason, he saw a person sitting in the corner at a glance.

This is the only person in civilian clothes among the people who are sitting, this person is not particularly eye-catching, his facial features are mediocre, he can only be regarded as a well-behaved person, he is in his early thirties, and the most striking thing on his face is the two sword eyebrows. But even if he just sits there, people can't help but pay attention to him. In a group of people, he was also the first thing to see.

However, Zhang Qing just passed by the door, and did not have time to observe carefully, although he also noticed this man, but what puzzled Zhang Qing was not him, but another person standing behind him. Because the sky was already dark at this time, the lights had been lit in the house, and the large number of people caused the light and shadow in the house to be staggered. There was another person standing in the shadow behind the man, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his body movements gave Zhang Qing a strange sense of familiarity.

He followed the servant towards the main hall, still remembering the familiarity in his mind, but unfortunately there were so few clues that he couldn't remember where he had seen it. When he arrived at the door of the main hall and saw Leng Yuhe waiting for him outside, Zhang Qing had no choice but to restrain his mind and step forward to salute. In the past few days, he has also met the most trusted subordinate of the state lord, judging from the short interaction, Master Leng is a person who is exquisite, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Even if Bai Lu and Zhang Qing have a good relationship, there are always some carelessness and informality, and sometimes they will unconsciously do something that they don't care about the feelings of others. In this regard, Master Leng has done a good job, and he can keenly detect the other party's unhappiness and quickly change his attitude, which can be described as human. Even if Zhang Qing only met him once, he also had a great good impression.

"Gongzi Zhang, Lord Governor, please come to the hall to tell about Huinan, there are also Inspector Lord Qian, Governor Wu and Deputy Qianhu Tang of the Control and Military Division, especially Lord Qianhu, he may have a lot of questions to ask, you have to answer them carefully. Leng Yuhe instructed on the side.

Thinking of the discord between Qian Yi and the state lord that Brother Bai told him before, and now after hearing that Master Leng specifically pointed out Master Qian, Zhang Qing immediately understood that the biggest difficulty in going to the court this time was on Qian Yi, as long as he could deal with his problems well, his words would be recognized.

Zhang Qing nodded in understanding, and then followed Master Leng into the hall.

At this time, Bai Huiye was just finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Qing who came in, and bowed his head slightly, asking him not to be nervous. Zhang Qing stood at the bottom of the hall and looked at the four adults sitting above.

Liu Liang, the state lord, had seen it earlier, and he was in high spirits at this time, as if he was in full combat. The cold-faced middle-aged man sitting opposite him was probably Qian Yi, the patrol envoy, who was looking Zhang Qing up and down. The governor was a big man with a beard, and this was an informal meeting, so there was no need to wear a formal official uniform. He is not like the two above who are wearing a well-fitting robe, but he is wearing a strong suit, staring at Zhang Qing with big eyes, as if he is going to do something with someone at any time.

As for the last person, he was also wearing green robes and fast boots, and it should be the Tang Deputy Qianhu, but he didn't look at Zhang Qing, but lowered his head and looked at his hands, as if he wanted to see a flower.

"Zhang Qing, the grass people, has seen the four adults, and he said hello to the four adults. "The attention of several high-ranking people is still quite stressful, but firstly, Zhang Qing has the soul of an adult in his small body, and secondly, he is deeply influenced by the idea that everyone is equal in modern times, not to mention that he has seen the battle of the outer gods in the big scene, so he did not show cowardice under the pressure of several adults, but greeted them without being arrogant or humble.

"Zhang Qing, since you know that you are a grass citizen, why don't you kneel?" Sure enough, seeing that his momentum did not suppress Zhang Qing, Qian Yi preemptively opened his mouth to say something about his identity.

Zhang Qing frowned slightly, he really didn't want to kneel these guys, and the master had said before that he didn't have to kneel anyone. But now that the other party has to talk about this, he has nothing to do. However, at this time, Zhang Qing was protected by the state lord, and Liu Liang said directly: "Lord Qian, this kid was born in the grassland, and he is young, and it is normal for the etiquette to be a little inconsiderate, why do you have to meet him in general? ”

After all, Zhang Qing is his person at this time, if he is kneeled by Qian Yi's words, the momentum on his side will be knocked down, so Liu Liang has to defend Zhang Qing. He originally thought that Qian Yi, who was born in the courtesy faction, would still argue with him, after all, he had not had a verbal dispute with the other party in this regard before. But I didn't expect Master Qian to just nod and let it go gently.

Liu Liang didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but since there were no side branches, he still started to ask Zhang Qing according to the plan. Zhang Qing has said these contents countless times a long time ago, so the answers are fluent. How the Tinghe Gang invaded Zhang's Mansion and killed the entire Zhang family, how he escaped with his life and returned to Huinan, how he met Bai Hui's night battle against the second elder of the Tinghe Gang, and finally the siege of the water bandits was interrupted by the battle of the Outer Gods, etc.

"Master Qian, what do you think of Zhang Qing's testimony?

Indeed, what Zhang Qing said was clear and well-organized, and it really didn't look like it was made up casually. It is also completely consistent with the things that can be proven, such as the destruction of the Zhangjia family and the attack on the Tinghe, etc., many of which can also be proved by Bai Huiye, so it is extremely credible.

Qian Yi pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe, yes, yes, this story is really good." Lord Liu, you can train this kid well, and he will definitely have a great future as a storyteller in the future. ”

Liu Liang was stunned for a moment, what did Qian Yi want to do? With such a meticulous case and a lot of evidence in hand, he actually directly denied it completely? Is this to tear his face?

"Bai Guard," without waiting for Liu Liang to speak, Qian Yi turned to ask Bai Huiye, "You said you have a copy of the account book, where is it now?"

Everyone didn't expect him to take the initiative to look at the account books, you must know that this kind of evidence can be taken out to deal a heavy blow to the Tinghe Gang, Qian Yi should avoid it, but now he mentioned it directly, did he already know the news of the destruction of the account books?

However, since he said this, Bai Huiye could only reply stubbornly: "Back to Lord Qian, the account book was kept by the lowly position at that time, but due to the sudden appearance of the two outer gods, the lowly position could not fight, and it was destroyed by the Bodhisattva of Washing. ”

"Oh, so there's no account book," Qian Yi put away his smile, "So apart from this so-called witness, there is no evidence?"
