In the last life, Xue Yao came to Xingdu with Beihu's military deployment map. When he visited the high officials of the court, he was directly turned away. If it wasn't for this Mr. Zhang, he might not even be able to see the face of the emperor.Of course, it's useless to see it.In the following years, Xue Yao also admired Zhang Jin's deeds.Because of this, Xue Yao hopes to protect him well.It is true that the crown prince imprisoned others. Although he could not seek justice for him, he could not allow loyal ministers to be killed because of this.And then cold the hearts of veterans ah.

"Your Highness, if there are no loyal ministers and good generals left, how can this country be saved?"

The deterrent force these words brought to Jing Yi was too great, and he could not be calm for a long time. If the country is not the country, can the family still have a family?Looking around, the lights of thousands of families outside the city wall are a little bit leisurely.If the family does not form a family and is dead silent, what kind of tragedy will it be.But the person in front of him is doing his best for the peace under the night.On the other hand, what can you do?

After midnight, Xue Yao was ready to stop, so he went straight to the east of the city, where the residences of ministers gathered.Zhangfu is the one with two big red lanterns hanging at the door.

Xue Yao stopped in front of the door for a while, looked around for a while, and then went straight into the mansion. It was already the dead of night, and the Zhang Mansion was completely dark, so Xue Yao easily found the door of the study.I also know that at such a time, it may be difficult for Mr. Zhang to fall asleep.He listened quietly outside the door for a while, and after making sure that there was no one else, he dared to open the door and go in.

All the candles in the study were extinguished, only a small lamp in front of the desk was left to illuminate, and occasionally sparks exploded, which seemed particularly crisp in the quiet room.Master Zhang, who was sitting in front of the desk, heard the sound of the door opening, looked up, and saw a stranger, his face covered with frost, "Where is the bold thief who dares to break into Zhang's mansion at night?" Immediately afterwards, there was a cry He drank violently, "Come here..."

Zhang Jin, whose courtesy name is Minyu, was a second-rank official in the first dynasty of Shenji, and served as a doctor of imperial history.At this time, he was nearly fifty years old, and recently, because of his son's affairs, he had added a lot of gray hair to his temples.Thinking back to the time when I saw him in my last life, I was so energetic, but now I am so old.

"Master Zhang, don't worry," Xue Yao stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Xue Yao, I'm here for your son's business."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Master, why call the villain."

Hearing that Xue Yao said that he came for Mr. Zhang, Zhang Jin snorted coldly and told the visitor to retreat.He asked with disgust, "What do you really want, and how can you return my son?"

This is the person who regards Xue Yao as the prince, and Xue Yao is not annoyed, "Don't hide my lord Zhang, I saw a person in the Deming Palace last night, I think that person must be Mr. Ling."

"You've seen my son too?" Zhang Jin seemed a little excited, "Is he alright? Is he still alive?"Knowing that the person in front of him is indistinguishable from friend and foe, he still couldn't help but have extravagant hopes and want to know more.

Seeing Zhang Jin like this, Xue Yao was filled with emotion, "According to what this junior sees, Young Master Ling doesn't seem to be doing well. Besides, my lord, your appearance in the court this morning may make Young Master's life difficult." Although Xue Yao Knowing that it is cruel to say this, I still tell the truth.Now this matter, Mr. Zhang's life may not be saved.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Jin couldn't hold on for a while, and fell on the grand teacher's chair, "I don't know that this move is too dangerous, but my son Zhang Ming has been missing for ten days, and I asked someone to turn everything upside down." Over and over, I have sent people to search for all the places in Shenji, but there has been no news. If someone hadn't accidentally discovered Ming'er's trace and told me, I'm afraid I still don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do such a thing. Dirty things are coming. What can I do, the old man is just a civil servant, and there are only a few servants in the house, and he can't rush into the Deming Palace to save people. I thought that a sudden attack in the early court would catch them by surprise, who knows They still took the lead.”

After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he was anxious and hated, and suddenly said, "I really regret it. If I abandoned literature and martial arts at the beginning, I would have turned my back on this day."

It seems that Mr. Zhang is really red-eyed, and he is really willing to go all out, daring to say anything.

Seeing him like this, Xue Yao was also sad. Such a good official was forced into such a state, but he came today, not to make him even more angry, "But your actions have made the young master a doomed situation. "

"If I'm not like this, I'm afraid that father and son will have no hope of seeing each other again in this life. Even if there is even a little hope, I will try it. Did I do something wrong?" Zhang Jin asked with tears in his eyes, "Could it be the other way around? is it my fault?"

Xue Yao couldn't answer this question, so he could only remain silent.It's just that I still have some doubts in my heart, "My lord, I'm sorry to ask you one more question, how did you get the news that Young Master Ling is hiding in Deming Palace?"

Xue Yao knew that his question would definitely arouse Zhang Jin's suspicion, but he was even more worried about whether someone with a heart was setting up a trick, and if he was assassinated, it would be called injustice.Although they saw someone appearing in Deming Palace last night, none of them knew Mr. Zhang, so they couldn't be sure that it must be him.

Sure enough, Zhang Jin's complexion changed after he finished speaking, and his eyes sparkled, "Hmph, do you think I will tell you so that you can get rid of the person who reported the letter and hurry up? I, Zhang Jin, am not that kind!" Shameless villain, don't even think about it."

"My lord, you misunderstood." Xue Yao said seriously, "I'm just worried that someone among them will deliberately stir up conflicts between you and the prince, and take the opportunity to get rid of you."

After listening to him, Zhang Jin pondered for a moment, "It is absolutely impossible. My friendship with this person cannot be compared overnight. His loyalty is absolutely reliable. And he also brought back something from Minger. If you want to Look, I can show you one more look," Zhang Jin finished speaking, and carefully took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

Xue Yao held the jade pendant with both hands. It was a high-quality suet jade, about the size of a thumb, carved into the shape of a Guanyin.Jade is mild and should be worn for a long time.

Zhang Jin said, "This is Ming'er's tenth birthday, and his mother specially asked for it for him in the South China Sea. He wears it all the time." As Zhang Jin spoke, his voice sank, as if it was another sad event , but Xue Yao has no intention of asking any more questions right now.

But there are some things I have to ask, "When the fire broke out in Deming Palace last night, I happened to be there, and I saw it clearly at that time. Mr. Zhang has been guarded by others, and there is no possibility of contact with outsiders. I don't know about this jade pendant. Tell me How did the person know?"

"As he said, he picked it up on the grass."

Xue Yao thought for a while, "If my predictions are correct, the messenger must be someone from the Deming Palace. This is really a brave man. He will die for you at this moment. gone."

When Zhang Jin heard it, his eyes froze, "Young man, do you think I'll tell you who he is if you say that?"
