The wealth of Flying Tiger Village is much more than that of Qingwolf Mountain, with more than 300,000 taels of silver, which is about the same amount of money that Zhang Ming got in Red Lotus Village.

Zhang Ming pondered when he would go back to the Red Lotus Village and take out all the silver he had hidden.

Silver is of no value if it is buried in the ground and is not spent.

Zhang Ming already has more than 700,000 taels of silver, which is barely enough to govern Qing'an County. Zhang Ming decided that the county's farming, workshops, and businesses must develop together in order to completely change the lives and destiny of the people.

After disposing of the belongings and corpses in the cottage, Zhang Ming rushed back to the city with everyone. When entering the yamen, Zhang Ming smiled at Jiang Zihou and said, "Lord Jiang, please hurry up and bring the broken gang crossbow at home, this official is very interested in the broken gang crossbow." ”

After Yang Shaoyu and Jiang Zihou left, Huang Yun went to the yamen treasury to register the amount of silver, but Yu Cheng whispered beside Zhang Ming: "My lord, this broken gang crossbow is Jiang Daren's at all, where did he get another broken gang crossbow now?"

Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Of course I know he can't take it out." If it weren't for the good luck of this official this time, maybe he would really die in Feihu Village. ”

It is impossible to say that Zhang Ming is not angry, but his reason can suppress anger, so he did not get angry.

Anger won't solve the problem.

For the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Ming must endure humiliation.

Scholars talk about integrity, and soldiers can be killed, not humiliated.

To be an official and do things for the people, you must learn to endure humiliation.

Yu Cheng was shocked in his heart and said, "My lord, do you mean that Lord Jiang wants to kill you? This, I'm afraid it's impossible, right?

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Why is it impossible? During this period of time, which of the decrees promulgated by this official did not infringe on the interests of the gentry in the county? Although Lord Jiang is an official of the imperial court, he is even more of a gentry. The family of the sect can do everything for the benefit of the family. It's just that I didn't expect them to be so anxious and start so quickly. ”

Yu Cheng is just a head catcher, to put it bluntly, he is a martial artist, he has no political wisdom, he only knows how to be on an errand, receive a salary, and other things, all of which are arranged by Shangguan, and he will do it.

Now that Zhang Ming told him about some filthiness in the yamen, he felt that the officialdom was terrible. The county lieutenant actually wanted to kill the county commander? Such a thing could never have been imagined by him before.

..................

"Brother Shaoyu, what should I do now? Zhang Ming wants to force me to take out the Broken Gang Crossbow, but the Broken Gang Crossbow has already fallen into Zhang Ming's hands, how can I take it out?" Jiang Zihou had completely lost his sense of proportion. He and Zhang Ming have been working together for a short time, but he knows Zhang Ming very well, Zhang Ming has always been acting in accordance with the law, and when the evidence is conclusive, he Jiang Zihou will definitely have no possibility of turning over.

The broken crossbow is the murder weapon, and it is ironclad evidence.

Zhang Ming acted in accordance with the law, which was the most difficult to deal with.

After all, facts speak louder than words.

This matter was known to the Yamen of Anxi Mansion, and Jiang Zihou's family would be finished. His family is just a little energetic in Qing'an County, and it can't be compared with a big family like the Wang family.

The disciples of the sect, the reckless heroes, killed the officials, and the court may not have anything to do with them, because they can walk away, and the court may not find the trace of the murderer.

Jiang Zihou killed Shangguan County Order, which was a taboo in officialdom. If all the officials do this, wouldn't everyone be in danger and the world would be in chaos?

In Zhang Ming's style, it is obvious that he wants to thoroughly investigate the matter of breaking the crossbow.

Yang Shaoyu frowned, and he didn't pay attention. Fighting with Zhang Ming, playing some intrigues and tricks, it's really not good.

"Brother Jiang, so far, only someone can stand up and take this matter down. The crossbow is yours, and only you are the most suitable. Yang Shaoyu sighed and said to Jiang Zihou.

Jiang Zihou's face changed, and then he shouted loudly: "Yang Shaoyu, what do you mean? If you want Lao Tzu to carry the black cauldron, don't even think about it." Kill Zhang Ming with a broken crossbow, but your idea, now that Zhang Ming has come back alive and the matter has been revealed, do you want to stay out of the matter? Lao Tzu told you that once Zhang Ming finds out, you and those three old guys, no one can escape!"

A fierce light flashed in Yang Shaoyu's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, things are not what you think, how can it be that you are carrying the black pot." I mean stabilize Zhang Ming first, after all, the crossbow is yours, and it is most appropriate for you to take care of things first. I will discuss with a few gentry seniors in the county to find a way, and I will definitely rescue you. ”

Jiang Zihou snorted coldly: "Yang Shaoyu, I don't know who you are? What if you fool a three-year-old child with your words? Ghosts won't believe it! Once I admit that the Pogang crossbow is my own, and Zhang Ming does things according to the law, I will immediately be abolished in martial arts, thrown into the dungeon, and wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading." I'm dead, and you'll be fine with those old guys, won't you?"

"Yang Shaoyu, Lao Tzu told you that now we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and we can't run away from me or you. ”

After Jiang Zihou finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Yang Shaoyu's thoughts, how could Jiang Zihou not know?

Dead friends, immortal poor friends.

Jiang Zihou returned home with an angry face and horror in his eyes.

When a middle-aged woman saw him come back, she hurriedly asked the maid to bring the food: "Xianggong, is there something troublesome in the yamen? Why are you so angry?"

Jiang Zihou sighed and said, "Madam, this time you are with me, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to escape." ”

The middle-aged woman exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?"

In desperation, Jiang Zihou could only tell what had happened, and the middle-aged woman was dumbfounded and terrified when she heard it.

"Xianggong, you dare to murder the county commander, really, really bold. What should we do now?" The middle-aged woman had tears in her eyes, and the six gods had no master, "Xianggong, why don't we go and leave Qing'an County, this official, we are not right." Grab the kids and go right away. ”

Jiang Zihou shook his head and said, "Madam, you are too naïve, do you think we can leave?" Now around our mansion, I am afraid that there are already arresters staring at us, as long as we move, Zhang Ming will get the news immediately." Although Zhang Ming is young, you don't know his strategy and martial arts, even if you are ten times stronger than me, you are not his opponent. ”

............

In Yang Shaoyu's study, it was still Yang Shaoyu and the three old men.

The atmosphere in the study room is very solemn.

Yang Shaoyu said helplessly: "Three, you already know what happened. Li Kuang was split by Zhang Ming's sword, and he didn't confess to us, but we didn't expect Yu Cheng to recognize Jiang Zihou's broken crossbow at a glance. Of course, Jiang Zihou didn't admit that the broken crossbow was his, but now Zhang Ming was forcing Jiang Zihou to take out the broken crossbow at home. The Gang Gang Crossbow has already fallen into Zhang Ming's hands, how can Jiang Zihou get it? If Zhang Ming wants to thoroughly investigate this matter, we will be in great trouble. ”

The eagle hooked his nose and sighed: "Zhang Ming, I didn't expect him to be so powerful, even Li Kuang's arrows couldn't kill him." Now, we can only find a way to solve the matter of the broken crossbow. I don't know, can we get another broken crossbow, so that we don't have the handle in Zhang Ming's hands. ”

The other two old men both nodded, thinking that the hook-nosed old man was right, as long as Jiang Zihou took out a broken crossbow, everything would be solved.

Yang Shaoyu shook his head and said: "In our county, there is only one broken crossbow, this kind of sharp weapon is built by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court and used exclusively by the Praetorian Guard, it is not easy to get it." There may be one in the yamen of Anxi Mansion, and even if we have a way to get it, it will be too late in time. The distance from Qing'an County to Anxi Fucheng is not close, even if it is the fastest horse, it takes three days to come and go. ”

Three days is not a long time, but under Zhang Ming's pressure, can they withstand three days? Obviously, it is impossible.

"Since this is the case, then the clue of the broken crossbow can only be cut off, so that Zhang Ming has no way to investigate. Without evidence, even if Zhang Ming suspects us of attacking him, there is nothing to be done. Didn't he Zhang Ming have to do anything according to the law? We will let him be cocooned and bound to himself. The hook-nosed old man's voice was full of coldness, "Kill Jiang Zihou! Only by killing him can we stay out of the matter!"

The other two old men and Yang Shaoyu were silent, and now the situation is grim, so they can only give up Jiang Zihou.

Yang Shaoyu said: "Jiang Zihou's martial arts are not weak, a set of iron sand palms is very domineering, and there are not many masters in the county who can beat him." ”

The hook-nosed old man said: "Although our family is small, each family has two or three first-class martial artists, and we dispatch five first-class martial artists at the same time, even if Jiang Zihou's palm skills are strong, he will definitely die." ”

Another old man with a goatee said, "Yes, five first-class martial artists are absolutely foolproof to kill Jiang Zihou." Jiang Zihou is not Zhang Ming, and he does not have such strong martial arts and swordsmanship. We can't kill Zhang Ming, can't we kill him Jiang Zihou?"

Yang Shaoyu said: "The sun is about to go down. In this case, let's do it tonight, so that we don't have too many dreams at night and renew accidents. ”

In the face of Zhang Ming, Yang Shaoyu and other officials and gentry all felt helpless in their hearts, once they reached a desperate situation, they could only make a desperate bet and jump off the wall in a hurry.

Although Jiang Zihou is a county prince, in the eyes of these gentry, he is just a chess piece, which can be given up at any time.

Night is coming.

The people of the city have rested.

On the street, from time to time, there was a dog barking or two.

In the backyard of the county government, Zhang Ming, who had finished practicing boxing and swordsmanship, was sitting in front of an oil lamp reading a book. But at this moment, Zhang Ming heard five slight sounds, which were the air flow driven by the first-class martial artist's light skills.

It's a long way, a few streets away.

If it was before, Zhang Ming might not have heard such a slight sound, but now, his martial arts realm has improved again, and he has also practiced a sword, and his hearing acuity is no less than that of an innate martial artist.

"Five first-class martial artists, the direction they went turned out to be Jiang Zihou's mansion? It seems that they have decided to make a move on Jiang Zihou!"

Zhang Ming put on his official uniform, picked up the green steel sword, and used his body to turn into a phantom and disappear into the room in an instant.
