Li Zhang

The land invasion case in Ningzhou soon came to an end. Tan Jinbo and the others never expected that the imperial envoy would come so soon. All the confessions were made in two rounds. Except for the massacre in Dongping Village, there were several other life cases caused by real estate disputes.Several principal criminals including Tan Jinbo were taken to the capital for trial, their family property was confiscated, and all the land property embezzled in the land invasion case was recovered.After re-registering the fields in Ningzhou, the distribution was carried out in accordance with the land equalization system. The Miao people who were injured before received a small part of the field compensation, and they were given priority to obtain the right to use the original fields, and the land tax was reduced for one year.

During the trial of Dongpingzhai and several other murder cases, Zhiqing and Li Zhang went with Abao, and sure enough, they met Abao's relatives at the trial scene.Although Ah Bao is reluctant to part with Zhiqing, he still remembers grandpa, grandma and uncles.Everyone was very grateful to Zhiqing, and Zhiqing repeatedly thanked her. Seeing Li Zhang standing behind her smiling and saying nothing, she couldn't help secretly annoyed that Li Zhang stayed out of the matter.

After sending Abao away, the two casually walked out of the city. Zhiqing complained about Li Zhang's lack of "righteousness" while walking, but Li Zhang still just laughed and didn't refute a word.

I went to buy shortbread again, and when I was leaving, I met Pingdu again, riding his horse past with a gloomy face.Li Zhang felt that there was no flaw in the modification, and passed him head-on without paying attention, but when he was in the wrong position, he was forced to jump up by Pingdu's sudden move.

Pingdu's martial arts are similar to Mu Yan's calm and open internal boxing method. The strong internal force comes with each punch, with a stronger and stronger sense of oppression.Li Zhang's figure swayed, and he shuttled and dodged in a thrilling way between force and force, and in a hurry, he only had time to see if Zhiqing was safe.

After dozens of moves, Pingdu suddenly withdrew his fist just as he did suddenly, looked straight at Li Zhang, and asked coldly, "Who the hell are you?"

Li Zhang didn't answer, but asked instead: "I don't know who the general will look down upon?"

Pingdu snorted coldly: "You know it yourself!"

Li Zhang smiled slightly: "Of course I am me, so how do you know why the general suddenly made trouble?"

Pingdu didn't answer, approached suddenly, reached out to grab Li Zhang's lapel, but Li Zhang quickly backed away to avoid it.

"If the general is unreasonable, please put me down and leave." Li Zhang folded his fists and bowed his head according to the etiquette of Jianghu.

Pingdu snorted again and said, "Last time, you didn't have this face!"

Li Zhang's heart moved, but his tone of speech remained unchanged: "The general really admitted the wrong person."

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know after testing!"

Li Zhang frowned, and his tone became cold: "I don't know what crime I have committed, and I need to be verified by others?"

Pingdu took a step closer, and said coldly: "The crime of deceiving the emperor and feigning death!"

Zhiqing on the side was so startled that he almost let out a low voice. Li Zhang casually glanced at the spectators around, and glanced at Zhiqing with a hint of comfort and apology in his eyes. "I can't bear such a big crime!"

"You'll know if you can afford it or not!"

Pingdu seemed to have lost his patience, he took a step forward and stretched out his palms as claws to grab people.Li Zhang was no longer the same Li Zhang as before, no matter how willing he was to tie his hands, he quickly avoided a few ups and downs, said "Don't worry" to Zhiqing, and quickly disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

Pingdu only had two soldiers with him, and he was not good at jumping, so he could only watch Li Zhang disappear before his eyes.He turned around resentfully, looking at Zhiqing who was also staring at Li Zhang's disappearing direction with an innocent face, he was a little uncertain.

The incident of land invasion and Tan Jinbo's conviction were all within his expectations, but he never expected that his sister, who had been separated from Tan Jinbo for many years, would insist on going to Beijing with her husband after the incident. Apart from making him upset, he also hated himself for not investigating Li Zhang's matter to the end.

The rapid arrival of the imperial envoy made it impossible for Pingdu not to associate it with Li Zhang.He vaguely knew that the imperial court had another intelligence system. Because it was too secretive, it was easier to directly contact the emperor, and then implicate Li Zhang in a natural relationship.The only thing that didn't make sense was what he heard about Li Zhang's death from Tan Jinbo.Therefore, it was just his temptation to prove his integrity and fake death to deceive the emperor, and Li Zhang's escape made him even more confused, so he lost his specific plan for the next step for a while.

But Pingdu still brought Zhiqing back to the General's Mansion. The more curious and puzzled he was about Li Zhang, the more he wanted to see what he wanted to do.

Li Zhang didn't know how Pingdu doubted him, and he didn't know the meaning of threatening him with fake death.Sima Yi's wanting of himself is nothing more than a domineering possessive desire. He doesn't feel that his life and death have any specific impact on other people. It also made more sense than telling Sima Yi that he was suspended animation.

But whatever the reason, putting himself at someone else's disposal was not an option he would accept now.Relying on himself and fighting for destiny had already unconsciously become his code of conduct.It's not that he can no longer trust, but that the previous foundation of trust has been broken. The influence of Mu Yan and Jin Bai on him is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface. All the situations that may be related to Sima Yi, he They all have the consciousness of being abandoned and sacrificed, so they cannot be trusted.

After Li Zhang escaped, he hid in a hidden residence he had prepared while investigating the land invasion case. After carefully examining his modifications, he was still puzzled, so he had to put this aside and study the situation of the General's Mansion carefully.

He tried to visit twice at night, but he returned because of the strict defense in the mansion to no avail, but he saw Zhiqing once from a distance, and he didn't seem to be troubled, and the servants were even quite respectful.

Li Zhang then went to look for A Bao's grandfather. The old man still remembered Li Zhang and entertained him very warmly. By the way, he asked why Zhiqing was not together.Li Zhang then told about his inexplicable suspicion and Zhiqing's involvement, and asked him to send a letter to Jin Yi, and then together with Jin Yi, he went to the General's Mansion to bring Zhiqing back.

Because of the incident in Dongpingzhai, the old man hated the dominance of the Han people, and agreed to Li Zhang's request.

A few days later, the old man took his son and accompanied Jin Yitong to Yunnan. When they found out about the general's mansion, they shouted for grievances outside the door, demanding that Pingdu return the person who robbed him.

The formerly solemn General’s Mansion was instantly surrounded by onlookers. The more Abao’s uncles spoke, the more angry they became, and they brought up the tragedy in Dongpingzhai that had just been filed. Thinking of the tragic death of the younger sister’s family, they burst into tears. Down.The sympathy of the onlookers increased greatly, and they coaxed together.

Pingdu didn't expect that Li Zhang would do this to him, and he also knew that it was unfair for him to forcibly detain Zhiqing's name, but he once again felt contempt for Li Zhang, thinking that he had ruined the reputation of Ning Wang's guard camp for nothing, A dignified man who dares to act but dares not to act, only dares to do small tricks behind his back, is not as loyal as a little girl.

So Zhiqing was released, and said to the outside world that the general's wife had a sudden illness, so she brought Zhiqing back in a hurry, and formally accused Zhiqing and Jin Yi before notifying her family that she belonged to the general's residence.

Jin Yiyi followed Li Zhang's wishes and did not go into details. He thanked Abao's family and prepared to take Zhiqing back to Muyi Mountain.After a short journey, Pingdu personally came out to invite Jin Yi and Zhiqing back to the residence, but his wife fell ill again and was in critical condition.Jin Yi still ignores him, but Pingdu blindly begs Zhiqing.Zhiqing treated the general's wife for many days, but finally couldn't bear it, and turned back with Pingdu.Feeling Li Zhang's gaze when turning around, he blinked regretfully.

Li Zhang watched Jin Yi and Zhi Qing enter the general's mansion with dumbfounded eyes, and he was at a loss for ideas.While hesitating, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, and Pingdu glanced at him with unknown meaning, and landed on Li Zhang accurately, making Li Zhang get goosebumps out of thin air.

That night, under the cooperation of Jin Yi and Zhiqing, the general's wife, who was in critical condition, escaped from danger again.Pingdu was very grateful and accompanied the banquet in person.Jin Yi is still cold and ungrateful, Zhiqing is soft on the bottom, and he doesn't know what kind of feud Pingdu has with Li Zhang, and feels that this general is not as majestic as his name, and there is always a slight sadness in his expression, which makes him feel sad. She involuntarily relaxed her guard.

The exquisite banquet, because Zhiqing didn't drink, and Jin Yi was indifferent, made it somewhat cold.Pingdu was dressed in a homely plain robe, a blue lun scarf on his head, and his face was white and beardless, he looked quite elegant, if Zhiqing hadn't seen him make a move with his own eyes, he would probably have regarded him as a scribe.

Pingdu held up his chopsticks very casually to greet each other, without intentionally exchanging greetings.Jin Yi was unmoved, and said with a cold face: "Madam's illness is acquired in the womb, and it cannot be cured by Jin Yi Zhiqing's power. There is nothing wrong here, please let us go."

Pingdu still smiled lightly, took a piece of fresh white jade and poured it into Zhiqing's bowl, and then said to Jin Yi: "A genius doctor can't cure the disease, so naturally Ping dare not force it. It's just that It's already getting late, so it's okay for the genius doctor and the girl to stay overnight, right?"

Jin Yi coldly refused: "Jin Yi is not used to living in an official house, it's better to find another place to live."

Pingdu turned to Zhiqing and said: "My wife's condition is changing repeatedly, Miss Song has seen it many times. Although there is a genius doctor today, Ping is worried that there will be changes, so I ask the girl to take care of it."

Jin Yi glared at Zhiqing fiercely, but Zhiqing's heart softened after seeing Pingdu and his wife's love for a few days with his own eyes. After several struggles, he suddenly asked Pingdu: "My lord and my brother?" What's the fault, why do you have to arrest him?"

"Oh? Is he your brother?"

"Yes."

"Ping just thinks that he is very similar to someone else, and just wants to confirm it. Who knows that he has misunderstood him."

"Really?"

"That's true. Ping met him once, and hated to have a chance to meet him, so it is inevitable to be misunderstood."

Zhiqing hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "I don't know who the person your lord is talking about...?"

Pingdu said calmly: "The emperor was the bodyguard when he was King Ning. His surname is Li and his name is Zhang."

Zhiqing didn't quite believe it: "Your lord met once, how can you confirm that he is Li Zhang?"

Pingdu smiled complacently: "Ping has never forgotten anyone he sees, and the demeanor of Li Shiwei is naturally even more difficult to forget."

Zhiqing was puzzled, and met Jin Yi's eyes, speechless for a moment.

Pingdu asked curiously, "Could it be that Miss Song's brother...is really Guard Li?"

After only a while, Zhiqing had made up her mind, she shook her head and said in denial: "How can my elder brother be the emperor's bodyguard, my lord really admitted the wrong person!"

Ping Du was suffocated, his face was a little stiff, his eyes drifted to the guard standing by the door, but the man shook his head slightly.Pingdu suddenly lost the intention to continue eating.

The next day, at Jin Yi's insistence, Pingdu had no choice but to send them away from Yunnan.Pingdu figured it out last night that Li Zhang's suspended animation was the most strange thing here, so he told Tan Jinbo about it while having people follow him, hoping that he could regain some life by this.

After Jin Yi and the others returned to Muyi Mountain, Li Zhang did not go up the mountain again.Not long after, Zhiqing left the house on the grounds of visiting for a doctor, and the watchers lost her trace when they reached the mountainside. They hurriedly called in the officers and soldiers to block the way out, but they never waited for Zhiqing to go down the mountain.More than ten days later, Pingdu knew that Li Zhang was prepared, and with his disguise technique, there was no possibility of being recognized if he hadn't come in person, so he withdrew the officers and soldiers who were on guard, and could only pray for Tan Jinbo's empty words. By virtue of it, I can win the emperor's letter.

He has always looked down on Li Zhang's status, but now he has to rely on it to get a chance for his sister's life, which really makes him feel mixed.
