Zhang's house.

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?" Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Yanbo, who was standing on the side trembling, with an angry face.

What he said was, of course, the assassination of Li Wuchang.

If it is placed in normal times, this matter may be nothing, but now General Zhou Shengzhou was furious on the spot during the court meeting, and His Majesty ordered Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case in order to appease the general, which is a big problem.

Zhang Xiu thought about this matter carefully and felt that this matter should be related to his son Zhang Yanbo. Zhang Yanbo was beaten by Li Wuchang at the Li family's banquet before, and it is normal to hold a grudge.

Zhang Yanbo saw that his father was quite angry, his legs tightened, and he trembled: "My son just feels angry, and I want to find a few people to teach Li Wuchang a lesson, how do I know that those gangsters on the road will kill the killer, which is also what the son did not expect." ”

"Idiot!" Zhang Xiu interrupted.

Zhang Yanbo immediately stopped, silent, he had heard of it, His Majesty was furious, and wanted to thoroughly investigate the case and wipe out all the people behind the scenes, he panicked at that time.

Zhang Xiu was silent, his mind racing.

Zhou Sheng suddenly became difficult, did he simply look at it and wanted to seek justice for Li Wuchang, the doctor who had treated him, or did he already know who did it, and this time he was simply coming to the Zhang family?

As for Zhou Sheng's statement that someone wanted to kill him, it was true, but absolutely no one dared to make a move against Zhou Sheng at this juncture.

Zhou Sheng is by no means as reckless as he seems, otherwise he would not be deeply trusted by His Majesty, what is his intention to be so angry this time?

Is there a shadow of Li Lingwu in this? Probably not, Li Lingwu is more unfathomable than Zhou Sheng, he will not make a rash move, and he will kill people if he makes a move, not to mention that the Zhang and Li families have already formed an alliance, the Zhang family is in trouble, and the Li family is not happy.

What the hell is going on?

Did anyone collude with Zhou Sheng and use this incident to stab the Zhang family?

Zhang Xiu shook his head, couldn't figure it out, took a deep breath, and asked, "What about those killers, where are they now?"

"I've sent people to kill people outside the city, and it's very clean, like an ordinary gangster fighting. Zhang Yanbo calmed down and replied.

Zhang Xiu nodded slightly, no matter what other people's intentions are, the most important thing is to quickly clear up the relationship.

"It's just ......" Zhang Yanbo opened his mouth, a little hesitant.

Zhang Xiu frowned and looked at Zhang Yanbo.

"It's just that I haven't been able to find their leader, Ma Liben, and I don't know where he is. Zhang Yanbo whispered.

"Idiot!" Zhang Xiu scolded again, hearing the news, he felt more and more that someone sincerely wanted to deal with the Zhang family, catch the culprit, and testify at any time.

I have to say that Zhang Xiu has lived in officialdom for a long time, and he is used to intrigue, and he likes to think about the bad in everything.

In fact, Ma Liben had been released by Zhao Xun, he listened to Zhao Xun's advice to prevent being exterminated, and he had already hid in the mountains, of course others couldn't find it.

Zhang Yanbang, who had been silent on the side, interjected: "Father, could it be uncle?"

Zhang Yanbang suspected that Li Lingwu was a ghost, the purpose was to be angry for Li Wuchang, and Zhou Sheng and Li Lingwu have known each other since childhood, and they have a very close personal relationship.

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly: "Do you think that your uncle will fall out with the Zhang family for a concubine?...... Don't get involved in this, and then you take a good look at your brother's bastard. ”

At this point, Zhang Xiu could only try his best to maneuver.

Liu Zhifan.

Li Lingwu.

Zhou Sheng.

They are all people who must be seen.

......

The East Courtyard of the Li Mansion.

A smile overflowed at the corner of Li Lingwu's mouth, and he said, "Zhou Sheng, this old boy, can also make a lot of noise, it's really rare." ”

Li Hu, Li Qing, and Li Zhongyue all stood aside, with different expressions.

Li Qing sighed: "I've been looking at impermanence these days, and I found that he didn't have any abnormal movements, and I was secretly relieved, but who knew that he even said that Zhou Sheng moved, and now things are complicated." ”

Li Zhongyue snorted: "Who is Zhou Sheng, the eldest brother may not be able to move him, just rely on impermanence that stinky boy?"

Li Hu said: "Don't underestimate this kid, everyone has seen his skills these days, although he has no martial arts, but his mind is very smart, he has helped me to interrogate Khitan spies before, and his methods are very clever, but you didn't see it." ”

Then he laughed at himself and continued: "There is also the matter of Xue Laosi, there is no clue so far, and I was also ridiculed by him, and you were all present at the time." ”

Everyone chuckled.

Li Hu also laughed, and then said solemnly: "Big brother, I have checked, there are twelve killers in that group, and eleven of them have been sent by the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion to exterminate them, only the leader Ma Liben has not been found so far. ”

Only then did everyone put away their smiles.

Could someone have taken in that Ma Liben in a special way?

Li Lingwu said: "Leave these things to Zhang Xiu to worry about, his son is so bold, he should let him know the consequences, it is inconvenient for me to make a move, it doesn't mean that they can be so arrogant...... Hmph, it's arrogant that twelve killers are besieging my son who has no martial arts. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiu was mentioned, the big housekeeper reported that Zhang Shilang had visited.

A sneer overflowed at the corner of Li Lingwu's mouth, and said, "You continue to pay attention to this matter, it is best to find out the ringleader, check along his line, and sort out the evidence." ”

......

Zhang Xiu took his son Zhang Yanbang to the Li Mansion this time, saying that he came to visit the injured Li Wuchang.

Living room.

Li Lingwu, Zhang Xiu, and Li Hu drank tea and talked about things together, and the eldest lady Zhang personally waited on the side.

Zhang Yanbang, Li Wufeng, and Li Wuchang sat down together.

Zhang Xiu looked at Li Wuchang, saw that he still had bandages on his hands, and said with concern: "Impermanence, how is your body?"

Li Wuchang immediately replied and said respectfully: "Uncle Xie cares, it's no big deal." ”

Zhang Xiu said again: "Do you have a clue, do you know who is so arrogant and does such a crazy thing?"

Seeing Zhang Xiu's pretend, Li Wuchang scolded hypocrisy in his heart, of course, he couldn't show any dissatisfaction or suspicion on the surface, frowned, and said, "There are some clues......

Zhang Xiu's expression was stunned, and he immediately recovered.

Li Wuchang pretended to think about it for a while, and said: "I remember that a few days ago, General Zhou's eldest son Zhou Chengwang came to me and said that I should be more careful recently, I cured General Zhou, and it would provoke the dissatisfaction of General Zhou's political enemies, and he might deal with me at any time...... Fortunately, a young man happened to pass by that day, otherwise I might have met Hades. ”

said that he showed a look of regret.

Zhang Xiu squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, that's the case." ”

Li Wuchang said fiercely: "Don't let me know who did it, hum...... I hope that this time Dali Temple can find out the truth as soon as possible and give me justice, in broad daylight, so arrogant, attacking good people like me, to put it mildly, is to provoke the Li Mansion. ”

After a pause, he raised his voice and continued: "In general, it is a vain attempt to kill General Zhou's doctor, so that General Zhou's body cannot recover, so that General Zhou cannot go to the battlefield to fight the Khitans. It can be seen that the people behind the scenes colluded with the Khitans, and the rebellion was clearly revealed. ”

"......" Li Hu almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.

It's really scary for this Li Wuchang to buckle his hat, if someone throws out such remarks when he is in the court, it will definitely frighten a large number of people.

Zhang Yanbang was frightened and hurriedly said, "Cousin, isn't this an exaggeration?"

Li Wuchang replied: "It's not an exaggeration at all, General Zhou is for the country and the people, and it is really heart-wrenching to suffer such a plot." ”

Then he stood up, straightened his body, and made a generous statement.

"Death is lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai, although I Li Wuchang is small, but I can treat General Zhou, even if it is death, it is also the glory of my life. ”

"Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. ”

"Kill one Li Wuchang, and thousands of Li Wuchang stand up. ”

"Grandma is a bear, those people want to harm General Zhou, want to rebel, and want to subvert Dayan...... Dreaming!"

Everyone looked at Li Wuchang, who was excited and dancing, as if there were 10,000 wild horses running in their hearts.

What is this kid talking about, where is this, rebelling one by one, subverting Dayan Jiangshan one after another, trying to scare people to death?

However, this kid's writing is not bad, especially the sentence: Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat.

It's really a good poem.

Li Lingwu coughed lightly, interrupted Li Wuchang, and said, "Okay, don't pretend, are you afraid of who will shield the murderer." ”

Li Wuchang immediately stopped, sat down, did not squint, honestly, he just wanted to see Li Lingwu's attitude.

Zhang Xiu was also stunned by Li Wuchang.

Damn, when did Li Wuchang's eloquence become so outstanding, he shouldn't be a doctor, he should go to the court to be a civil official, pull up the skin, he is definitely a first-class good hand.

Of course, the eldest lady Zhang also knew what her brother Zhang Xiu was doing when he came to the Li Mansion.

Zhang Xiuqian had already sent someone to pass her through the anger, wanting her to see Li Lingwu's attitude and help by the way.

Now Li Lingwu's attitude is ambiguous, and Zhang said with a smile: "Master, look, who will it be this time?"

Li Lingwu took a sip of tea, glanced at Zhang, and said lightly: "Your Majesty has already handed over this matter to Dali Temple, so I won't directly intervene for the time being." Who will be found depends on Liu Zhifan's attitude, of course, Liu Zhifan will definitely look at Zhou Sheng's attitude...... This is a matter of impermanence, and although I will not investigate it myself, I will still pay attention to it. ”

Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Lingwu will not interfere, he doesn't want to completely fall out with the Zhang family, at most he wants to ask for some benefits for the Li family, this is easy to say, the Zhang family has a few good Zhuangzi outside the city, and when the time comes, find a reason to give to the Li family, which can be regarded as giving the Li family an explanation.

Now as long as you get Dali Temple Zhengqing, Liu Zhifan and Zhou Sheng.

Liu Zhifan is a good person, although he has no handle and is low-key, but he is a person with great ambitions, and his son Liu Xuan is a first-class talent, saying that he wants to enter the military department as an errand in the future.

Zhang Xiu is the left squire of the military department, and there is no problem in arranging a good position for Liu Xuan.

When he saw Liu Zhifan, he hinted at him and asked him not to get to the bottom of it, anyway, the killers are dead, and they died in the gangsters.

It's just that the leader Ma Liben has not been found, which is a trouble, but fortunately, it is not a big problem.

The biggest problem is Zhou Sheng.

Now Zhou Sheng's purpose is unknown, and he doesn't know how much he knows about the truth of the matter, he is the donkey temper again, if he rushes to find it, he is afraid that it will be self-defeating.

I have to find an opportunity to visit Zhou Sheng's house and test it.

Zhang Xiu thought so and said, "Impermanence, I heard that you will have a follow-up consultation for General Zhou in a few days...... That's the case, my uncle has admired General Zhou for a long time, and after he got sick, he always wanted to visit, alas, he was busy with official business, and he never had a chance, so next time you go to General Zhou's house to show your mouth, just say I want to visit him, okay?"

Li Wuchang smiled and said, "Uncle, please rest assured, I will definitely bring the words." ”
