Chapter 523: Butler Zhang's Details
The servant who reported the news naturally disturbed his interest when he saw Butler Zhang staring at him coldly, but he couldn't. The news he received shocked him, so he naturally had to report it immediately.
So he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Butler, Zhang Hongyi is already a child! Jiade Palace is celebrating him, and tomorrow I will go to the city to prepare for the scholar's trial!"
Butler Zhang's face remained unchanged, but his hands, which were exposed with blue veins, instantly pinched the armrests of the chair into pieces.
Butler Zhang waved the dancers and maids with a calm expression, leaving only his confidants.
After pondering for a while, Butler Zhang said coldly: "You must never let this little boy Zhang Hongyi become a scholar!"
The confidant nodded violently: "We really can't let him become a scholar! If he becomes a scholar, the mayor will have to give him face, and we can't do anything to him!"
As he said that, the confidant became confused again: "But can he become a scholar? In the three years of imperial examinations, only one county can have a scholar's place. Can Zhang Hongyi's knowledge exceed that of the entire county's children?"
"He is not qualified to surpass Tong Sheng in the whole county! We, the people in the Zhang family, know that his knowledge is just Tong Sheng! But even so, we must not be careful! What if that guy left and became a scholar? Don't forget that Jiade Palace is not aware of what's going on!" Mr. Zhang said gritting his teeth.
"Then the butler, let's crack him?" The confidant made a neck wiping action.
"This is naturally. He must be knocked before he goes into Fucheng to participate in the scholarship exam! He is now a Tongsheng and is ready to go to Fucheng with great enthusiasm. This is the best opportunity!" Butler Zhang said with his fists clenched.
"What if I didn't find a chance to enter the city along the way?" asked the confidant hesitantly.
"Then go to the capital city to assassinate! There are so many rogues in the capital city, it is impossible for them to bribe the people who will take action!" Butler Zhang said resolutely.
The confidant hesitated and did not answer the conversation.
Just kidding, outside the city, as long as you have the ability, you can kill even if you are a Jinshi. It will definitely lead to joint pursuit between the officials and local gangs.
But when you get to the city, it is a completely different world. The rules and customs of the countryside are not available in the city at all!
It is easy to say that you are looking for someone to assassinate a Tongsheng who participated in the scholar exam, but it also seems easy. After all, Tongsheng is not an official, and you can always find someone to attack after spending some money.
But the reality is not the case. People in the city may be far away from the countryside, so they naturally respect scholars. Scholars in the city dare to curse the gangsters, and the gangsters can only escape with their tails. Instead of cursing the gangsters like scholars, they will retreat in a hurry and secretly tie the scholars outside the city to kill them.
In this state, if you want to buy those gangsters who are extremely afraid of scholars and kill scholars, especially those who are taking the scholar exam, you may not be happy with that gangster!
Seeing that the confidant didn't say anything, but Mr. Zhang knew what was going on. He snorted coldly and took out a waist card item from his arms and handed it to his confidant: "When you take this waist card and go to the Fucheng to find it..."
The waist brand is carved from mahogany, only the size of a child's palm, surrounded by clouds, and a lit incense among them.
Before Mr. Zhang could continue to say anything, the confidant stared wide and said in disbelief with an incredible face: "This, this is the first-grade incense master brand of the White Lotus Sect?!"
Butler Zhang's face changed drastically and blurted out: "Do you actually know how to distinguish the Holy Teaching waist card?!" Then he pinched the waist card like a burn, and quickly shrank back. Then he stared at his close friend with a fierce look when he was about to take a poisonous move, the close friend stunned him again.
Because the confidant knelt down directly, and took out a waist card from his arms and held it with his hands and said, "The believers of the ninth level believers pay homage to the Lord of Incense!"
Seeing the same style, but was carved from paulownia wood, with nine star-dotted waist tags, Housekeeper Zhang was silent for a while, then smiled and patted his confidant's shoulder: "Get up, I didn't expect you to be a brother in the church. This makes me feel more at ease."
"Yes, believers never thought that Master Xiang, you are also a cadre in the middle of the church." The confidant also said with a smile on his face.
The two of them smiled and had a very intimate attitude, just like seeing their own brothers in the distance.
But the two of them were filled with chills. No one expected that after years of contact, the person he was about to rely on was actually a member of the White Lotus Sect!
But the heartbreak was quickly suppressed, and a feeling of being backed by a large organization automatically surged. Unexpectedly, the White Lotus Sect was so vast that it was so vast that there were two sects here now. I wonder if there were other sects in the Zhang Mansion? In addition to the Zhang Mansion, how many people in other sects in Longwo Town were sects?
So what about expanding to Zijin County and Heyuan Prefecture? How many people are religious?!
Haha, the greater the power of the White Lotus Sect, the better. Only in this way can one, the White Lotus Sect, get benefits from it!
"What is your mission?" Butler Zhang's status is higher than this confidant in any aspect. After Hara had a feeling of brothers in the church, he naturally put on his boss's face.
"The mission of believers is just lurking. Every year, they only need to submit a record of their conduct to the horse house of Tianranju Inn in the county. Until now, the subordinates have not received any other orders to change the tasks." The confidant said respectfully.
Butler Zhang raised his eyebrows. Obviously, the name Tianranju touched him a little, but he continued to smile and said, "Since you don't have a task, then I, the first-grade incense master, directly issued an order to you."
"Yes, please tell the Lord of Incense!" The confidant knelt down and said in a resolute tone.
Butler Zhang, who was sitting upright, knocked on the table and said, "It's very simple. It's still the task of killing Zhang Hongyi. But this time you can just go to Futian Pawnshop in the third alley of East Street by yourself. That pawnshop is the stronghold of our White Lotus Sect. Take out your waist card and let them perform the task of killing Zhang Hongyi!"
The confidant hesitated again. When he was a servant of the Zhang family, he hesitated. Now the Bailian Sect is still hesitant, which definitely gives Butler Zhang a very bad impression.
But he had no choice. He hesitated when he was a servant because he couldn't do it. The White Lotus Sect was hesitant, but because the Master Xiang was using the power of the sect to do private matters!
Although I have long heard that during the lurking period, many powerful figures in the religion who hold power and secrets have driven the church to do private things under the name of serving the holy religion.
If I am the direct subordinate of this Yipin Xiangzhu, I must do it for both public and private matters. But my direct superior is in the county town!
If you don’t know the identity of Butler Zhang, then doing things for him will be done. But knowing his identity as the incense master, you still dare to do things for the incense master who is not his boss. Once you know it for your boss, will you still have a good end?!
