Fusion of all beasts

It seems that Zhang Jingxiu, who has never appeared in the eyes of the world, may know where Zhang Juzheng is hiding!

Zhang Jingxiu stared at Ye Changqing for a long time, then said slowly: "I don't know Mr. Ye, what do you want to discuss with my grandson?"

Ye Changqing smiled and said, "It's just something about the rural examination."

As soon as Ye Changqing finished speaking, he saw the housekeeper's face suddenly changed, as if there was some hostility.

Zhang Jingxiu, like an old fox, concealed her emotions and looked at Ye Changqing as usual.

But the subtle changes in the expressions of the two still couldn't escape Ye Changqing's eyes.

Ye Changqing thought for a while, and soon realized the reason for their expressions.

Probably because he was young and dressed as an aristocrat, he presumably was a kid from a rich family who wanted to bribe Zhang Pingyun by taking advantage of the imperial examination to make a name for himself!

In this mansion, there are all scholars, and even that servant will be placed in the Zhang family's own private school to study since childhood.

Naturally, he doesn't have a good impression of these talented Gaoliang disciples.

Every year, there are quite a few people who come to Zhang Pingyun to release water secretly, and there are also people who come to Zhang's mansion directly with gifts.

But the person in front of him seemed not only lacking in talent, but also lacking in etiquette.

Came in to ask for help, but came empty-handed.

The butler naturally misunderstood Ye Changqing, he didn't bring a gift, it was because of himself, not to bribe Zhang Pingyun!

But it's not easy to say it by yourself, Ye Changqing can only be guessed by them like this.

At this moment, Ye Changqing turned his head to look at the portrait behind Zhang Jingxiu, deliberately changed the topic and said, "If Zhang Shoufu hadn't been wronged back then, the Zhang family wouldn't be as deserted as it is now, right?"

Zhang Jingxiu smiled: "It's just that the young children in the family have gone out to be officials, so they will appear deserted."

"Oh, that's what it is.

Old man, junior, I don't know if I should ask something or not? "

"It's okay to say."

"Back then, the Zhang family was framed by treacherous officials and ransacked the family. Now that the crimes of the Zhang family have been cleared up, I want to know how you escaped the persecution of the treacherous officials and lived in seclusion in Nanjing?"

As soon as Ye Changqing finished speaking, the calm expression on Zhang Jingxiu's face was broken!

The corners of Zhang Jingxiu's eyes trembled slightly, and the hand holding the wooden handle tightened slightly.

All of this was caught by Ye Changqing, and he thought in his heart: Sure enough, there is a problem!

The Zhang family has been rectified a long time ago, and these things are not serious, but Zhang Jingxiu was still nervous when he heard Ye Changqing ask this question.

This shows that the person who saved him back then must not speak out easily!

Chapter 141 Zhang Family's Ancestral Hall, Strange Qi!

At that time, there was no one in the entire imperial court, who dared to keep the descendants of the Zhang family, but Zhang Jingxiu was the only one who was able to hide from others and live in seclusion in Nanjing!

This was simply impossible at the time, Jinyiwei and Dongchang still had the ability to handle affairs.

It is not easy to find a person.

But Zhang Jingxiu was still allowed to hide, so the person who helped Zhang Jingxiu behind the scenes was either extremely powerful, or his methods were astounding!

After much deliberation, Ye Changqing only thought of Zhang Juzheng who cheated to death in front of the world!

On the surface, Zhang Juzheng was the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming court with power over the government and the public, but that was just a cover he used to disguise himself, his true identity.

Sometimes the more striking the place, the more people ignore it.

Just like Dugu Qiubai, he would not have expected that such a powerful official would be a fairy hiding in the world!

Ye Changqing moved slightly closer to Zhang Jingxiu to achieve an oppressive effect.

Sure enough, when Zhang Jingxiu faced Ye Changqing's question, he was obviously a little slow in responding, and after a while, he said slowly: "At that time, the whole court was arresting our six brothers.

The old man was lucky enough to be rescued by a nobleman, hid in Nanjing City, and escaped the search of Jin Yiwei! "

This answer is obviously not convincing, Ye Changqing asked again: "Which noble person is helping?"

Zhang Jingxiu paused again, and then said: "This noble man, I do not want to reveal my name."

Ye Changqing smiled, and only said: "Since the old man doesn't want to say it, the younger generation won't force it."

Then Ye Changqing glanced at Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Jingxiu returned to a calm look in the blink of an eye.

It's just that his eyes looked to the side from time to time, which made Ye Changqing suspicious.

Ye Changqing followed Zhang Jingxiu's gaze and looked over there. It was a small path leading to nowhere.

At the end of the path is a narrow door, and if you pass a little further, even Ye Changqing, an immortal who knows everything within a hundred miles, can't see what's inside!

Ye Changqing thought to himself, behind this narrow door, there might be an enchantment that conceals people's eyes and ears.

Who will be hiding in that?The answer is already clear!

However, Ye Changqing was not in a hurry to go in. Now that he had found the place where Zhang Juzheng lived in seclusion, it was time to plan carefully how to make him go back to heaven willingly.

Then Ye Changqing stood up suddenly and said: "The younger generation suddenly wanted to go and there are still some things that have not been dealt with. Since Mr. Zhang has not come back, the younger generation will come to visit another day."

Zhang Jingxiu froze for a moment, then nodded and asked the housekeeper to send him out.

Ye Changqing, who went out, walked towards the corner of the street and disappeared in an alley.

The butler kept staring at him and left before closing the door and returning to Zhang Jingxiu's side.

Zhang Jingxiu asked, "He left?"

The housekeeper nodded, then supported Zhang Jingxiu, and walked towards the path. After passing through the narrow door, Zhang Jingxiu and the housekeeper disappeared completely.

However, Ye Changqing, who was standing on the high wall of the Zhang Mansion, saw all of this clearly.

After the two masters and servants entered the narrow gate, Ye Changqing was no longer seen, only Ye Changqing jumped down lightly and landed in front of the narrow gate.

At the same time, he urged the evil spirit pill in his arms to cover up all his aura. At this time, Ye Changqing was like an ordinary person.

After doing all this, Ye Changqing dared to slowly enter the narrow door.

There is no difference between the scene inside the narrow door and the scene seen outside, but when Ye Changqing crossed the threshold, he could clearly feel a wave of aura! !

But this aura is not the aura between heaven and earth, nor is it the unique luck of the emperor. Ye Changqing can't tell what it is.

But what is certain is that this majestic momentum is outrageous! !

Even when he was in Shanhaiguan, Ye Changqing gathered the only aura of heaven and earth in the world, compared with it, it was a little thin! !

This surprised Ye Changqing! !

There is actually such a huge energy in this world, contained behind this narrow gate, and he doesn't even know it.

Ye Changqing was more and more uncertain about how powerful the saint of the Zhang family was.

But Ye Changqing still didn't flinch, since he has already come in, if he doesn't see Zhang Juzheng today, I'm afraid he won't give up.

Behind the narrow gate is actually not another world. Although the saint is a saint, this is the world after all, the world of mortals.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't and didn't dare to create a world to hide his tracks, the enchantment inside the narrow gate was just to hide his aura, and the majestic aura that couldn't be accommodated in the ten directions! !

Walking along the winding path leads to Zhang's backyard, where several separate yards have been vacant.

Even the young descendants of the Zhang family don't know what's in these yards in the backyard.

Except for an ancestral ancestral hall in the backyard, these courtyards were left vacant as if they had been forgotten by the Zhang family.

Moreover, Zhang Jingxiu also specifically told everyone not to go to the backyard at will, except for the days of worshiping the ancestors.

This backyard is also very small, few people enter.

With the support of the housekeeper Yuan Qing, Zhang Jingxiu walked to the Zhang family's ancestral hall, then asked Yuan Qing to wait outside, and entered the ancestral hall by herself.

After watching Zhang Jingxiu go in, the butler turned around and guarded the door of the backyard.

At this time, Ye Changqing also walked to the backyard. He saw the butler standing at the door, bowed his head in thought, then turned and walked to the side.

On the wall on the other side of the backyard, a light figure walked around, the housekeeper at the door, and entered the backyard.

In the backyard, the most eye-catching thing is naturally the ancestral hall of the Zhang family.

The ancestral hall is always brightly lit and smoky, but except for the days of worship, the gate of the ancestral hall is always closed.

After Ye Changqing entered here, his senses were obviously affected by an invisible force!

He couldn't do it here, omniscient and omnipotent, but the evil spirit pill in his arms helped him.

Although it didn't break the restriction of this strange power, it also kept Ye Changqing's cultivation from being restricted, and within a radius of ten meters here, he was still omniscient and omnipotent.

This made Ye Changqing feel relaxed. This evil spirit pill is not as simple as he thought!

Ye Changqing walked forward, and when he approached the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall, he could already see the situation inside.

Ye Changqing looked towards the ancestral hall, his brows were slightly frowned, because he didn't see Zhang Jingxiu inside.

There was no one in the ancestral hall, and it was eerily quiet!

Ye Changqing glanced back, the housekeeper guarding the door, seeing that he didn't pay attention here, gently opened the door and entered the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.

What caught Ye Changqing's eyes was a piece of tablets like a forest of steles standing in front of Ye Changqing.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 142 The secret door of the ancestral hall, Zhang Juzheng, the sage of the Zhang family!

The candlelight was flickering, revealing a hint of desolation after prosperity, but just looking at the scale of this family's ancestral hall, Ye Changqing also sighed, the heritage of the Zhang family.

Among the countless tablets, the most conspicuous one is naturally the 'dead but not dead' Zhang Juzheng.

Among the ancestors of the Zhang family, he is the most famous.

There is even a portrait of Zhang Juzheng hanging on the tablet. The portrait is slightly yellowed, and it seems to be a bit old.

There was a line of small characters written next to the portrait, Ye Changqing looked carefully, and it said "Yin Fu in the sea, Ji Gang's laws and regulations must be cultivated." Signed by Lan Ying.

This person is a well-known painter in Ming Dynasty, but he is good at landscape painting, not portrait.

Moreover, this person's paintings are hard to find, even if he has money, he may not be able to ask him to paint.

If a well-known painter who is rebellious and not good at painting portraits is to paint a portrait for Zhang Juzheng, one can imagine how terrifying the Zhang family's power is!

Even if it is not as powerful as it was a hundred years ago, it will not be so small.

Ye Changqing glanced at the portrait, then turned his gaze to other places.

Although the ancestral hall is large, it can be seen at a glance. There is indeed no figure of Zhang Jingxiu inside.

Ye Changqing looked around, except for the main entrance, there was no other place to enter and exit.

But after Zhang Jingxiu came in, he never went out. It seems that there should be a secret door in the ancestral hall, which can lead to other places.

At this time, Ye Changqing's eyes stopped on the mat used for kneeling in front of the memorial tablet.

There are two shallow marks on the mat, although they are not very obvious, they do exist.

In the censer on the desk, there are also three incense sticks that have just been lit. It is obvious that the meditation has not been away for a long time.

Ye Changqing walked lightly to the desk, bent down, and saw that there really was a mystery under the desk! !

A small secret door is hidden at the bottom of the desk. Only those who kneel on the mat and bend over can notice this secret door.

Ye Changqing gently pressed the hidden door, a slight voice rang in his ears, and a door slowly opened behind the ancestral hall.

Ye Changqing walked out of the ancestral hall with two steps and three steps.

After Ye Changqing went out, the door closed again.

Behind the ancestral hall is actually a vacant courtyard in the backyard, but these are extraordinarily desolate, and the weeds on the ground are growing wildly, almost half the height of a person.

The road to the small courtyard was also covered by weeds, Ye Changqing could only slowly push aside the dense weeds and walk over.

It's not that Ye Changqing doesn't want to fly over directly, it's just that if he uses it, there will be a slight fluctuation of true energy, and he is worried that Zhang Juzheng will notice it.

I still chose to walk over, just in case.
