Chapter 25    Following

When you enter the study, except for the tables and chairs, there are books and various famous calligraphy and paintings.

Looking at the books on the bookshelf, Zhang Zhong stretched out his hand curiously, pulled out one, and flipped it out casually, and there were some unknown words inside.

After watching for a while, Zhang Zhong felt bored and put it in the bookshelf.

Then I started playing with the Four Treasures of the Study on the Table.

Sheng Hong, who was beside him, wanted to drive him out when he saw him harming his study room.

"Zhang...zhong, sit down!" In order to avoid being harmed by his own things, Sheng Hong stepped forward and snatched the brush in his hand.

But seeing the copied Lanting preface on the table made him messy and Sheng Hong's face turned extremely ugly.

"Forget it, hold back this tone. At worst, I can write another copy myself." Sheng Hong spared him for the sake of his daughter.

At this time, a pretty maid, holding a large wooden plate, pushed open the door and walked in.

The maid placed the things on the wooden plate on the table one by one.

There weren't many things, two cups of steaming tea and two plates of dessert.

Zhang Zhong looked at the snacks on the table and started eating without thinking about it. He ignored his belly and could he bear it?

Sheng Hong asked the maid to go down, and he sat on the chair, picked up the tea from the table and put it to his mouth, blew it gently first, and then started drinking it in small sips.

"Old man, don't worry about drinking water. Tell me, why are you asking me to do?"

Seeing that Sheng Hong only drank water and Zhang Zhong stopped eating dim sum, he urged him to say it quickly.

Sheng Hong glanced at Zhang Zhong and despised him for being impatient.

But I have drunk enough tea and it’s time to talk about the serious business.

Sheng Hong put the teacup on the table, then stretched out his right hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, and then said slowly.

"Zhang Zhong, bring the silver to your father, so he will not do anything to kill and rob, and take you to live a good life in the future."

"Also, tell your father when you go back and let him kill the Taoist priest."

Speaking of Taoist Luo, Sheng Hong's face was full of murderous aura.

Two days after being tied up, I heard Taoist Luo bewitch Zhang Rui's evil words, saying that he was the son of destiny and the appearance of an emperor.

If this is reported to the emperor, not only will they die, but they will also die, but also themselves and the nine tribes.

So, just in case, Taoist Luo must die.

Originally, Sheng Hong wanted to kill everyone, but his two daughters finally killed the man who was confused.

Let Zhang Rui take the money he gave to buy some shops elsewhere to buy some shops and live a peaceful life.

"Old man, I will definitely bring you words, but I don't know if he listens or not." Zhang Zhong couldn't guarantee whether he listened or not.

"If you don't listen, tell my daughters what I say and let them persuade your father."

Speaking of the two daughters, Sheng Hong felt a faint pain in his body.

This Zhang Rui just said a few words from his daughter and then hit him.

However, judging from this incident, Zhang Rui is not useless, at least he cherishes his two daughters very much.

"Haha!" Zhang Zhong covered his stomach and smiled when he thought that he was not afraid of the heavens and the earth, so he let them control him tightly.

Zhang Zhong held back his laughter and said, "Old...boss, you... are right. As long as they say something, my father will definitely listen."

"Okay, you go down and rest!" Sheng Hong was so sleepy that he sent him back to the house to sleep.

"It just so happens that I'm tired, too."

Then Sheng Hong called a maid and asked her to take Zhang Zhong to the place where she lives.

About a quarter of an hour, Sheng Changbai entered the study with a happy face.

Since receiving the news that his father had returned home safely, Sheng Changbai led his servants all the way home.

...

On the other side, a strong man hurriedly entered the wing room and said to the handsome young man who was drinking.

"Young Master, the thief who escaped from us last time is next door to us."

"What?" said the young man incredibly.

Suddenly, the young man stood up with joy and ordered the strong man: "Stone, let's go and catch them."

That's right, the young man is Gu Tingye, since Zhang Rui escaped from him.

He swore that he must catch Zhang Rui.

But when he arrived at the door, Gu Tingye seemed to have some questions.

"Stone, why are the thieves here? How many people are coming?"

Shi Tou thought for a while and replied, "Young Master, I heard from the servant that the thief came back with the magistrate Sheng."

One of the thiefs came, and the young master knew the one who called you a novice face."

"This...is a bit difficult!" Gu Tingye turned around and walked around in the room, muttering to himself.

"Young Master, are we going?" Seeing that he was not taking action, Shi Tou asked, touching the back of his head.

"If you don't go, let's wait and see!"

After thinking about it, he still kept not touching Zhang Zhong for the time being because of Sheng Changbai's face.

In addition to this reason, Gu Tingye also has another plan, that is, he will set off a long line to catch big fish.

"Shitou, go and stare at him first, I will serve you in the second half of the night."

Although Zhang Zhong has not moved for the time being, his every move must be in his hands.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Shi Tou responded, closed the door, found a secret place, and stared at Zhang Zhong's door.

...

The next morning, at the gate of Zhuti City, Sheng Hong and his men sent Zhang Zhong away.

"Zhang Zhong, when you go back, you must tell your father what I said. Have you heard it?"

Just in case, Sheng Hong emphasized again.

"Are you annoying? You have to say something several times." Zhang Zhong had been impatient since the county government said this.

"How do you talk to your elders?"

Sheng Changbai, who had long disliked Zhang Zhong, saw that he was disrespectful to Sheng Hong, stepped forward and shouted loudly.

Zhang Zhong held his hands tightly, and his joints made even more noises. He stared at him and gritted his teeth and said, "Young man, I won't hit you when I see the old man."

Don't blame him for being so resentful. If it weren't for this kid, they would have endured hardships in the mountains.

"you..."

"Stop talking about it, Changbai."

Sheng Changbai was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Ruofu.

She held a letter in her hand and handed it to Zhang Zhong in front of her, and said with red eyes: "Child, give this letter to Rulan.

Also, go back and tell your father and ask her to take good care of them.

besides..."

She finally couldn't help it and tears flowed down her face.

Since Sheng Hong told Rulan everything last night, her tears have not stopped.

But if she had any way to take them home, the reputation of the Sheng family's female family would be ruined.

After thinking about it, Wang Ruofu would rather let his daughter stay there than preserve the reputation of his female family.

Sheng Hong stepped forward and hugged Wang Ruofu, and said to Zhang Zhong, "Let's go!"

Zhang Zhong nodded and walked towards home with a rope.

The three of them looked at Zhang Zhong's back and walked further and further away until they disappeared from their eyes, and then turned back to the city.

At this moment, Gu Tingye appeared at the city gate with a stone, and they led the horse and looked ahead.

"Let's follow him."

The two rode a handsome horse to chase Zhang Zhong.
