Fu Xiaoguan and his party walked across Pingqiao and returned to the backyard of the county government office without any problems.
He saw the lantern, and naturally he also saw the person tied under the lantern!
He looked around again and didn't see Ning Siyan and Zhuo Donglai, which meant that this person was not kidnapped by them.
So who did this?
Who is this person?
Sima Che frowned at this moment. She walked over and took a closer look. "Zhang Pingju's grandson Zhang Zhong...why is he here?"
Fu Xiaoguan also walked over curiously, and just as he stood in front of Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong slowly opened his eyes——
"ah……!"
He suddenly shouted, which scared Fu Xiaoguan.
"You, you, I..."
Zhang Zhong regained his memory at this moment. He did not know Fu Xiaoguan, but he knew Sima Che!
The man next to Sima Che must be Fu Xiaoguan.
Fu Xiaoguan is not dead. Oh, Ji Yungui, it was that bastard Ji Yungui who killed me!
He looked around but didn't see Ji Yungui. However, Fu Xiaoguan squatted in front of him, looked at him with a smile and asked, "It's so late, have you been kidnapped?"
"Ah, yes, sir. I was walking at night and encountered bandits. I was knocked unconscious. I never expected to end up here."
"May I have your name?"
"I am Zhang Zhong of the Zhang family."
"Have you seen the appearance of the bandits?"
Zhang Zhong was stunned. He couldn't tell Ji Yungui about it. If Ji Yungui was caught, the assassination of Fu Xiaoguan would be exposed.
"The night was too dark, and I couldn't see the bandits clearly."
Xu Xinyan suddenly frowned, "You're lying. You have a sword on your back, and you clearly know martial arts, but your skills have been dispersed."
This is a very strange thing.
Fu Xiaoguan stood up. According to what Sima Che said before, Zhang Pingju had tried every means to prevent the Sima family from requisitioning land in Hongye Village, but he behaved so magnanimously tonight.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. What exactly does Zhang Pingju want to do?
Who destroyed his grandson's martial arts and sent him here?
Fu Xiaoguan looked serious. He squatted down again and reached into Zhang Zhong's pocket. After searching for a while, he found the letter left by Ji Yungui.
Zhang Zhong was stunned. He had nothing on him except a few dozen taels of silver. Where did this letter come from?
"Sir, that's the bandit trying to frame me!"
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "How do you know this is a frame-up?"
Zhang Zhong was stunned. Fu Xiaoguan ignored him. He opened the letter and was shocked:
"I leave quietly, just as I came quietly.
The green waterweed on the soft mud sways in the water.
In the gentle waves of the River Cam,
I am willing to be a water grass.
Master, how are you to receive this letter?
From Linjiang to Jinling, and from Jinling to Wofeng Road, the young master has truly grown into the person the young lady once described. I am very happy, but it is a pity that I cannot be by his side, and ultimately cannot share the joy and happiness of his growth.
The King of Yi State has regarded the young master as his greatest enemy. The Tiandao Army of the barbarians has been formed and is equipped with about 3,000 flintlock rifles. The barbarians will march south next spring. I heard that the young master also plans to fight the barbarians next spring. I think the young master does not need to pay any attention to it.
I'm leaving, young master, don't ask. I'm going to look for old friends and explore the past. We'll meet again in the future.
Take care, Master! "
Fu Xiaoguan read the letter three times!
His brows were furrowed and his lips were tightly pursed.
The person who left the letter called himself Young Master, and that part of the letter really turned out to be what the young lady had described... The young lady thought it was her mother Xu Yunqing. Her mother passed away in the spring of the fiftieth year of Yu Taihe. How could she know what she would look like?
This person was probably my mother's servant, but he used "I" in this letter, or perhaps he was my mother's friend.
He knew the poem "A Farewell to Cambridge", so this poem...could it be left by his mother?
When he thought of this, Fu Xiaoguan took a breath of cold air - his mother had traveled through time and space?
This doesn't make sense. If the mother came from another world, how would she know what she would look like?
If she didn't travel through time, why did she know that poem?
This person said he wanted to explore a past event. Could it be about Xu Yunqing?
Xu Yunqing was poisoned to death by Empress Xiao of the Wu Dynasty... Could there be a hidden story behind this?
A series of questions popped up in Fu Xiaoguan's mind, growing wildly and uncontrollably like weeds in early spring.
He let out a long sigh, carefully put the letter away, looked up at the dark sky, and murmured in his heart: "What kind of person are you?"
Xu Xinyan and Sima Che looked at Fu Xiaoguan's solemn expression with some worry, but Zhang Zhong's face was already as pale as paper at this moment.
"This villain, this villain deserves to die..."
"Shut up!" Fu Xiaoguan shouted, "Throw him into jail and interrogate him thoroughly..."
"By the way, quickly send people to Qingzhou Prefecture to mobilize the government troops and arrest everyone in the Zhang family compound!"
Sima Che was startled and walked out quickly. At this moment, Ning Siyan and Zhuo Donglai came back, each holding a person in their hands.
Ning Siyan was holding Zhang Pingju in her hand, while Zhuo Donglai was holding Zhang Pingju's eldest grandson Zhang Qingyang.
Zhang Qingyang was bewildered, while Zhang Pingju had already given up hope.
When he saw Zhang Zhong again at this moment, he naturally knew that the matter had been exposed and the Zhang family would no longer exist.
Fu Xiaoguan was not in the mood to ask about this trivial matter now. He just looked at Zhang Pingju with a cold gaze, making Zhang Pingju feel as if he was in the coldest days of winter.
…
…
It was late at night and the yard had become quiet.
Fu Xiaoguan had no desire to sleep. He was still sitting in the yard. Xu Xinyan and Sima Che accompanied him silently. No one spoke, and the darkness of the night seemed a little heavy.
Ning Siyan and Zhuo Donglai were sent to the room by Fu Xiaoguan, both of them looked confused.
"What big thing happened?" asked Zhuo Donglai.
"How should I know?"
“…The lights in the yard are out.”
"Don't overthink it. The sun will rise as usual after you get some sleep."
"……rational!"
Fu Xiaoguan blew out the lantern in the yard. He seemed to have figured out a lot of things, or perhaps he stopped thinking about this annoying thing.
He took Xu Xinyan and Sima Che's hands and held them in his arms, "Let's go, let's go to bed too."
Xu Xinyan and Sima Che's hearts were pounding, the night concealed the shyness on their faces, and the three of them walked towards the room.
This night, the night was as quiet as water.
There was a yellowish candlelight in the room.
In the candlelight, the gauze curtains swayed, there were violent storms, soft moans, and hundreds of charming poses... until the candlelight naturally went out.
The window is white and the rooster crows.
