He was wearing a short brown cloth coat and had dark skin. Combined with the other person's hurried pace, if Zhang San was right, this person should be a permanent resident of the village. With him showing the way, it would save a lot of trouble.
In just a moment of encounter, Zhang San ignored the man's resistance and directly grabbed the other's arm. When the other party was about to explode, a silver bean slipped into his cracked palm unknowingly.
After seeing the silver beans, the man relaxed his tense demeanor.
He, Zhang Pingyi, is a considerate person. In his eyes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. After all, he has Gu Xuanyan to back him up, so Zhang San has the courage to do so.
"Brother, you should live in Biyun Village, right? Don't get me wrong, we are all government officials, not bad guys. The reason we stopped you is because we want to ask you about someone!"
While Zhang San was talking, he pointed to the enthronement token on his waist. Under the protection of the confidentiality regulations, the other party might not know what the purpose of enthroning an extraordinary person was, but he would definitely not make a mistake with the token that was stamped with the official seal of the Dajin Dynasty.
First there was money paving the way, then there was background support. In just a moment, the man had let down his guard.
"I see, you are the lords. I am mistaken for not recognizing you. I am indeed a farmer from Biyun Village, and I know the residents in this area quite well. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me. I will tell you everything I know!"
Compulsory education is worthy of being the national policy formulated by Taizu Gaoyang. After 180 years of efforts, in addition to selecting more talents for the Jin Dynasty, it also enlightened the people.
In today's Jin Dynasty, even country folk can quote from classics when speaking.
"Yun Ting, do you know where I live?"
Apart from his daily attempts to get close to others with ulterior motives, Zhang San is so direct and simple when doing things.
Especially after catching the other person's micro-expression of pupil contraction, the man's subsequent answer becomes very important. If he is not careful, Zhang San may even list him as an enemy.
"Sir, may I ask why you are looking for him?"
Luo Li: "You live in the mountains, not by the sea, so you can't be so strict!"
[Everyone: Discuss how a poisonous tongue is cultivated.]
"Sir, to be honest with you, except for a few people with different surnames, most of the men in Biyun Village have the surname Yun. Among the more than 100 households, there are at least eight people named Yun Ting, if not ten. I don't know which Yun Ting you are looking for."
"How about this? You three go down this road and take a rest in the village. I'll go talk to the village chief and get these Yun Tings for you. Do you think this is a good idea?"
Although this man could neither move Qi and blood nor practice Qi cultivation, in Zhang San's eyes, he could withstand the pressure from three people and still resolutely choose to use a delaying tactic. From this point of view, he can be considered a character.
As for why the other party did this, considering the current historical context, Zhang San really couldn't think of any other answer except that he and Yun Ting were related by blood.
None of the people present were fools, and unlike ordinary departments, since the Jingye Division often dealt with ghosts, their methods of handling cases were never very gentle.
However, just when Luo Li was about to use her method, Xie Lingyun beside her grabbed her and with Zhang San's deliberate cooperation, they watched the man leave.
"Stupid Zhang San, did the compulsory education in Dajin deliberately avoid you? I, a 16-year-old girl, know that the man was trying to delay the war, and you just let him go? Be careful or I will sue Dou Su and hold him accountable, humph!"
After some getting used to each other along the way, Zhang San finally understood Lori's character. Simply put, she was a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. The reason she said this was also to help Zhang San find out and fill in the gaps.
If you really intend to tell Dou Su and report to the Southern Pacification Office for accountability, why bother saying it out loud?
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to see who he is trying to protect with his delaying tactics. But judging from the direction he left, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the village to rest."
"Should I fly over and follow him to see what happens? If he really gets away, we'll be in big trouble."
After all, she is not as useful as Gu Xuanyan. It would be fine if Luo Li didn't understand Zhang San's arrangement, but I didn't expect that even Xie Lingyun seemed to understand it. But after all, they are teammates. Seeing that the other party had gone far away, Zhang San added.
"No need, just keep it hanging far away and give them enough time to communicate."
"I'm telling you two, you should read the assignment carefully. Dou Su's assignment is very clear: clear out the ghosts in Cuifeng Mountain and make an assessment of Yun Ting. If he doesn't have a chance to move, how can we make an assessment!"
Even though the two of them lacked experience in the world, after talking to this point, they both became more clear-headed.
"If he really intends to run away, then we..."
"The law is strict. If the assessment fails, he will be killed without mercy. It is better for him to return to his hometown than to die in prison. From this perspective, we are still quite kind!"
…
Putting Zhang San and his team's deployment aside for the time being, Yun Tao, with the caution of a small man, after knowing that Zhang San and his team's target is Yun Ting, and considering Yun Ting's recent physical abnormalities, the first thing that comes to his mind is definitely not pie in the sky.
After pointing out the location of Biyun Village and stabilizing the three people, Yun Tao quickly changed direction and ran out of the village. Due to the large amplitude of his movements, when he ran to the door of Yun Ting's house, he found that one of his shoes was lost.
As for why he worked so hard, to put it bluntly, it was actually very simple: Yun Ting was his biological brother.
Although no one knows what changes have taken place in his body recently, the blood relationship between the two of them cannot be severed no matter what.
“Hoo~Hoo~”
Yun Tao pushed open the half-open door and shouted as soon as he entered the yard after running for several miles without even having time to take a breath.
"Xiao Ting, hurry up, there are officials...officials coming to see you!"
"Don't pack anything. Go hide in the mountains for a while. I'll ask your sister-in-law to put the food in the old place at night. Wait until the storm has passed, then you can come out!"
After quickly speaking out his words, Yun Tao didn't wait for the other party to react, he grabbed Yun Ting's sleeve and walked out.
It was not until the moment he stepped over the threshold that the young man, whose face was covered with brown cloth and who was wearing a bulky robe, spoke.
"Brother, apart from home, where can I go in this state? I have also figured it out. Instead of hiding from the authorities, it would be better to be caught by the government. Maybe..."
“Bang!”
Before Yun Ting finished his words, a crisp sound came from his cheek. When he heard that he was ready to give up his life, the usually kind brother also revealed his ferocity.
"What's the matter? Do you think you've grown wings? Am I discussing this with you?"
