Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 412 The truth comes to light
No one believes it.
This gentle and refined young man must be a decisive and ruthless person.
Xu Wenyan stood up and said, "I'm sorry, cousin... Can I know the reason? No matter what it is, I will keep it a secret for you."
"Do you really want to know?" Zhang Chengjin smiled so gently.
"Ah."
Zhang Chengjin told him everything about Gao Bin asking him for money.
“It was just that when he was leaving at the end, he suddenly sat down again.
He said that 100,000 taels was not enough, and he wanted to massacre the people of two villages. I asked him why he did that. "Zhang Chengjin paused and looked at Xu Wenyan: "Wenyan, guess why he did that?"
"Is it because we saved Wei Ren?" Xu Wenyan frowned slightly.
He knew that the royal nobles in ancient times had great power, but he did not expect that the massacre of two villages would be described so lightly.
Zhang Chengjin smiled and shook his head: "No, he said it was to vent his anger."
"Bang——" Xu Wenyan slammed the table hard.
"Wen Yan?" Chen Sanlin outside yelled.
Xu Wenyan immediately replied: "Brother Chen, I'm fine."
Although Zhang Chengjin might be lying, there are several thousand people in these two villages.
I actually got into trouble because of such a small thing.
If Gao Bin really hired Deadpool, he has Xiaoman and Chen Sanlin at home, so he can hide for the time being.
What about Wang Dongmei and the others? What about the people at the ranch? What should we do?
Of course, it is also possible that Zhang Chengjin was making up a story for himself.
"I'm doing this to get rid of a nuisance and also to help myself." Zhang Chengjin clenched his fists: "If he asks me for money this time, he can ask for it the second time.
If I can't come up with it, with the power of the Gao family, I'm afraid all nine of us will be exiled."
"Cousin, are you serious about what you said?"
Xu Wenyan looked into Zhang Chengjin's eyes, those eyes still looked too innocent.
"Wen Yan, I will never lie to you."
"Yes." Xu Wenyan stood up and said, "Cousin, take good care of your injuries. I have to leave first."
Before he opened the door, Xu Wenyan noticed something was wrong.
It's really too quiet.
Xu Wenyan was puzzled for a moment and gently opened the door. In that instant, he saw a servant reaching out to grab Xu Wenyan's arm.
As for Chen Sanlin, he was indeed held at knifepoint by the personal bodyguard of Zhang Chengjin.
Xu Wenyan dodged to the side and kicked the boy in the stomach, kicking him out. Then he turned around and hid in the bedroom, closed the door, and blocked it with his body.
"Zhang Chengjin! What do you mean?" Xu Wenyan glared at the person on the bed, feeling a huge push from behind, as if he would be pushed open at the next moment.
Zhang Chengjin shook his head: "Wen Yan, you shouldn't have come."
Xu Wenyan glared at him without saying a word, and instantly dodged to the side. At this time, the door behind him was pushed open by the crowd.
Xu Wenyan almost stepped on others to go out. As soon as he went out, he saw Xu not far away. This person was Zhang Chengjin's sister-in-law.
Xu Wenyan had seen him before.
Without caring about anything, Xu Wenyan walked quickly towards Xu, then broke off a piece of wood from the window with his bare hands and pointed the sharp spike at Xu's neck.
"Yan'er! Don't do anything stupid."
Zhang Kai walked over from the main courtyard at this time. The commotion here was so loud that almost everyone in the Zhang Mansion came out.
"Uncle, you were the first to start."
After that, he whispered to the held Xu, "Don't move. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to leave safely."
Xu nodded but was not as flustered as an ordinary woman.
Zhang Kai frowned and said, "Wen Yan, you should stay at Zhang's house for the time being. At least wait until that Lord Ning leaves."
"Is my uncle afraid that I will report the Zhang family?"
"this......"
Old Master Zhang wanted Xu Wenyan to befriend the Zhang family. Xu Wenyan had no good feelings towards the Zhang family.
If this incident continues like this today, I'm afraid I'll be completely ruined.
"My cousin has told me that I am not a fool, and I will not be so desperate as to be exiled."
Zhang Kai looked embarrassed and the two sides were in a stalemate.
"Uncle cousin, do you want me to help you?" Xu said softly.
Xu Wenyan asked in confusion: "How can you help me?"
But before Xu could say anything, Zhang Chengjin came out of the room, dragging his wounds, and said, "Dad, please don't embarrass my cousin. I believe in him. He won't leak the news."
"Cheng Jin." Zhang Kai said earnestly.
"Dad, grandpa will be angry if you do this." Zhang Chengjin looked at Zhang Kai with a frown.
Zhang Kai sighed: "Forget it, Wen Yan. Your cousin did this for you and for the entire Zhang family.
We in the Zhang family will treat you well."
The Zhang family let go of Xu Wenyan, and Xu Wenyan was about to leave with Chen Sanlin when an accident happened.
At this time, Lord Ning came in from the main gate of the courtyard.
"Now that you're here, why are you leaving?"
When Zhang Kai saw Lord Ning coming in, his face turned pale: "Haha, haha, Lord Ning, why are you here? Come on, come on, please come into the main hall."
"no need."
Lord Ning walked straight to Zhang Chengjin, and the dagger in his hand turned slightly: "Second Young Master of the Zhang Family, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Chengjin nodded and saluted to Lord Ning: "Zhang Chengjin, meet Lord Ning."
"When I was in the capital, I really enjoyed the food in your restaurant. What a pity..."
Zhang Chengjin leaned against the wall and said, "Master Ning, thank you for your praise. I wonder why Master Ning came here today..."
"Bring the people up here."
Lord Ning had just finished speaking.
Three people came in from the main entrance, a middle-aged man, a beautiful woman, and another person Xu Wenyan also recognized.
"Village Chief Xu, I didn't expect that you also knew Lord Ning?" Xu Wenyan said lightly.
Xu Dawang rolled his eyes at Xu Wenyan and didn't speak to him.
Lord Ning leaned against the door of the bedroom: "The shopkeeper of Nanyuan told me that the last person Lord Gao Bin saw was Master Zhang."
"I have met General Gao Bin, but whether he was the last one... ahem, I don't know." Perhaps because the wound was too deep, Zhang Chengjin actually sat directly on the doorstep.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, how come you are so badly injured?" Lord Ning looked at Zhang Chengjin lying on the ground with a calm expression.
Afterwards, they interrogated Zhang Chengjin about the reason for his injury.
"It's such a coincidence that the deadpools in Feng County really like to kill generals of the imperial court." Lord Ning joked.
"Hong, you say."
The woman in pink clothes and heavy makeup said, "Master Ning, I am a geisha in Yingchun Tower. Last month, Master Gao Bin came to listen to my music.
That day, Lord Gao Bin said that he wanted to meet a sucker, and when he had money, he would come to redeem my daughter.
That night, Master Gao Bin did not come back...but he said he would come back."
"So, the unlucky guy who met General Gao Bin is most likely the murderer who killed General Gao Bin." Lord Ning looked at Zhang Chengjin.
"As for who Lord Gao Bin secretly met that day, does Master Zhang have anything to say?"
Zhang Chengjin smiled and said, "I did meet Lord Gao Bin at noon that day, but how can it be attributed to me?"
"After the interrogation, the truth will naturally come out."
