Chapter 100: Fighting for the Head of the Family (2)

The big ship was moored in the river, and it was less than half a mile away from the other side of the Yellow River. The sunset shone, the river water, the boat and everyone turned golden and red, and the woods on the other side of the Yellow River seemed to be burning.

Zhang Huanfu looked by the boat for a while, but found nothing unusual. Just now, his personal guard was Li Pinsyu, who came to tell him that a crew member had found a black shadow in the river. Zhang Huan immediately ordered his personal guard to raise his vigilance.

At this moment, the vast Yellow River water surface was empty, with only these two ferries. If there was anything unusual, it would have been targeted at the Li family or Zhang Ruohao. However, Zhang Huan had a little doubt in his heart. The possibility of success was not high. He sent someone to kill Zhang Ruojin last time, and he was waiting for him to take action when he got off the boat. If it was too early, he would be alarmed. Besides, even if the boat was drilled through now, the big ship could still stick to the shore. With Cui Yuan's wisdom, he would definitely not send such inferior means to deal with the major affairs of the Zhang family.

Zhang Huan gradually calmed down. What would happen if he was Li Shi, if he found someone assassinated? Stop and slow down. Is that true? Zhang Huan seemed to understand the other party's intention, which was to disrupt the emperor's itinerary.

If this is the case, I feel that the other party is not smart either. If I do such a thing, I will definitely burn the ferry berthed on the shore at night, or cut it all into the bottom, which is more effective.

"General, come out again."

Li Shuangyu, beside him, quickly pulled Zhang Huan and quietly pointed to the river surface twenty steps away. A black shadow on the water was floating with the waves, looming. He was a human! He was a water ghost who was breathing out of the water.

Zhang Huan tapped his bow without hesitation and then an arrow went away like a meteor. The sharp arrow pierced through the waves and shot straight onto the black shadow. A ball of blood emerged in the water and quickly dispersed, and the black shadow disappeared.

"General, look!" Several soldiers shouted together, and saw more than a dozen black shadows appearing on the water, and they swam quickly towards the shore.

"Shoot me an arrow!"

After Zhang Huan finished speaking, nearly 200 personal soldiers on the two ships rushed to the bow of the boat with steel crossbows and shot arrows into the river. These personal guards were all elites of the Tianqi Camp. Each of them had accurate arrows and powerful crossbow arrows "Swoosh!" shot into the water. In just a moment, most of the black-clothed water ghosts were killed in the Yellow River. In the end, only two people were left to climb ashore and fled to the woods on the shore like desperately.

"General, take one." Several boatmen pulled up a fishing net. Sure enough, there was a man in black wearing water in the fishing net. He was caught in an arrow on his shoulder, curled up in a ball, lying on the board, trembling.

Li Shuangyu stepped forward and tore her mask open, and suddenly laughed, "General, he is still a pretty young woman."

"I understand, take her down and ask for confession."

Zhang Huan slowly walked up to her and squatted down. It turned out to be a pretty young woman, but her face was pale and without a trace of blood. He stood up and pointed at the woman and said coldly: "If she has any false words, I will chop off my hands and feet and throw them into the river."

Taiyuan Zhang Mansion, "Bang!" With a loud bang, Zhang Ruofeng slapped hard on the table. He stood up suddenly, staring at Mrs. Wang on the opposite side and gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable! Your Wang family wants to destroy our Zhang family, but they use such despicable means. I have criticized the money and I will bear the responsibility!"

Mrs. Wang was not angry. She snorted coldly at Zhang Ruofeng's wife who was hiding outside the door, and said slowly: "Uncle San, I have a account here. The total amount of money you have given to the Wang family from you in the past ten years is one million chunks, and I asked you to pay for them. You obediently do what is this? Is there anything shameful about you and your sister-in-law?"

"You bitch!" Zhang Ruofeng's wife, who was hiding outside the door, eavesdropping, burst out with anger. She swung a broom, rushed in like a splattering wind, pointed at Mrs. Wang and cursed: "I have endured it for so many years. Today you actually ran to my house to admit that I, I will beat you to death."

After yelling, she swung the broom and beat him, but Mrs. Wang didn't move. She stared at Zhang Ruofeng with a smile. Over the past ten years, she had already touched him inside and out.

Sure enough, Zhang Ruofeng jumped up and hugged his wife in the waist. Unexpectedly, she was strong and thick, so Zhang Ruofeng couldn't stop her. The two of them fell to the ground all at once, and the broom flew out more than two feet away.

"Do you really want to protect this bitch?" Zhang Ruofeng's wife was angry and anxious, and she felt extremely aggrieved, and she couldn't help crying loudly.

"Okay, you can't make trouble anymore. Things are not as simple as you think." Zhang Ruofeng wanted to sew her mouth.

"What a stupid woman!" Mrs. Wang stood up and looked at her and said coldly: "If you want your husband to die faster, then you can make trouble and cry, brother and sister, you have been eavesdropping outside, why do you only listen half of the words?"

At this time, a low voice came from the yard, "Not bad! Things are really not that simple, brother and sister should stop making trouble."

The three of them turned around and looked into the yard. In the setting sun, a fat man wearing a straw hat appeared at the door. The butler stood behind him, and the astonishment on his face had not yet disappeared.

When the three of them saw him slowly lifting up their hats, they were stunned, "Aren't you dead?"

The person who came was Zhang Ruojin who died in the rumor.

Zhang Ruojin sneered for a moment, and he turned to the butler and said, "Don't disclose my news, otherwise I will kill you."

The housekeeper's legs were trembling, and he nodded and left in panic.

Zhang Ruojin slowly walked into the house and said to Zhang Ruofeng's wife: "My brother and sister, you go down first! I will give you an explanation for this."

He presided over a family meeting a few months ago and naturally gained prestige in the clan. Zhang Ruofeng's wife's lips moved and she had to pick up the broom and go down.

Zhang Ruojin turned around and closed the door. The room suddenly became dark. The atmosphere in the room seemed a little weird. He waved his hand slightly and said, "Sit down first, let's talk slowly."

Seeing the two of them sitting down with confusion, Zhang Ruojin smiled coldly and said, "Zhang Ruohao does want to kill me, but I think the enemy is ahead, and one of my followers will die."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, don't care if I say this to your husband!"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and was speechless.

"Third brother, let me tell you another news. Zhang Ruohao has given up the position of Minister of Rites to Zhang Potian, and the approval of the Ministry of Personnel has been issued."

"What!" As if a strong light hits his face, Zhang Ruofeng's eyes suddenly contracted into a line. The prime minister of the cabinet was the highest interest of the Zhang family. The eldest brother gave up without the consent of the family. And it was Zhang Potian whom they hated the most. A deep anger rushed out from his heart. Zhang Ruofeng's tight fist trembled slightly.

Zhang Ruojin patted his hand gently and said, "So I came back regardless of my personal safety, just to explain this matter clearly in the clan."

Speaking of this, anger suddenly surged in his eyes, "Hateful! No clan rule can restrict his decision. He thought he was the head of the family and could do whatever he wanted."

"Even if the head of the family is, you must obtain the family's consent."

Zhang Ruofeng was extremely angry. He trembled his lips and said, "If the fundamental interests of the Zhang family are damaged, such a head of the family must be abolished."

"Yes! I think so too, it's time to abolish him."

A gloomy smile flashed in Zhang Ruojin's eyes. He took a letter from his arms and pushed it to Zhang Ruofeng. Zhang Ruofeng trembled his hand and tore open the letter skin. His hand was heavier and tore off one side of the letter paper inside.

Zhang Ruofeng opened the letter in a hurry, and suddenly it felt like a basin of cold water was poured from the head. He suddenly froze

The letter was actually written by the elder brother. The content was asked to allocate 400,000 yuan to the Wang family in Shannan. Zhang Ruofeng looked carefully and said, that's right! It was indeed the elder brother's handwriting, and there was also the elder brother's seal below. Many elder brothers used their pens to behave in a habit. The letter paper was already yellow, and it was obviously written a few years ago.

The handwriting may be impersonated, but this seal is real, the unique seal of the Minister of Rites, and this letter paper is also specially used for the Ministry of Rites, with a number printed on it.

How could this be done? Zhang Ruofeng realized with a second thought that only those who hold great power could do it. Who is this person?

"Who asked you to do this?" After a while, he suddenly stared at Zhang Ruojin coldly, "Is it Cui Yuan?"

"Third brother, you can't say that. It doesn't matter who did it. What matters is the interests of our family. Zhang Ruohao gave the position of the cabinet to Zhang Potian without authorization. Can you tolerate it? Cui Xiang cannot tolerate it, so our interests are consistent on this point."

"We Zhang family and Cui Yuan will have the same interests?"

Zhang Ruofeng slowly shook his head. He had completely calmed down. Zhang Ruojin suddenly showed up. Things were not that simple. He was most likely to have been bribed by Cui Yuan.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Second brother, I can't agree to you for the time being. It's important, I must think carefully."

Zhang Ruojin closed her eyelids slightly, glanced at him and said coldly: "Third brother, then you can do it yourself!"

It was late at night, and a carriage drove across the street quickly, turned right, and turned into a narrow alley. After walking about a hundred steps, the carriage stopped in front of a small door.

After a while, the carriage door was opened, and Zhang Ruojin, wearing a hat, got off the carriage and knocked on the door. The door opened a crack. Zhang Ruojin took out an iron plate, swayed at the crack, and then flashed into the small door.

Zhang Ruojin was introduced into a small house, and there was no light in it. A young female Taoist priest stared at the moon outside the window with her hands behind her back. The bright moon was not yet full. The moonlight poured on her face like a light blue flowing water, as crystal clear as beautiful jade. She didn't have any human aura on her body, just like a fairy in the Moon Palace who lost to the world.

Zhang Ruojin stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Mr. Li, the official has returned from Zhang's mansion.

Although he was a fourth-rank governor, he could not put on any airs of official position in front of her. Not only did Cui Yuan's order to absolutely obey her command, but the more important thing was that this woman was extremely vicious and could kill people without blinking. As soon as she arrived in Taiyuan, she killed five masters of Xiangyang worship hall who despised her.

"Have they agreed to cooperate?" Li Fanyun asked lightly.

"Wang Yanluo has no big problem, mainly Zhang Ruofeng, it can be seen that he has a deep prejudice against the prime minister."

"It's not prejudice, but he knows it very well. What about that letter?"

The other party's sharp eyes made dense beads of sweat appear on Zhang Ruojin's forehead. Zhang Ruofeng refused to return the letter to him again. He asked for it later, but Zhang Ruofeng said that it had been torn apart. He said guiltily: "The letter has been torn off on the spot by him."

"Is that true?" Li Fanyun stared at him, asking in disbelief: "Have you seen him tear up with your own eyes?"

A shame of being interrogated strongly stimulated Zhang Ruojin. His waist suddenly straightened and he said coldly: "Five years ago, I was the Minister of Dali Temple. Now I am the governor of Shangjun. I can't even question the Prime Minister when I speak. Miss Li, how old are you?"

Li Fanyun did not answer him. She smiled arrogantly and slowly walked to the desk to pick up a letter above and said: "The only thing I dare not question is Cui Xiangguo. Even two such letters were prepared a few years ago. This kind of far-sightedness is admirable."

When Zhang Ruojin heard that there was another letter, he breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down and said, "Then give this letter to me!"

Li Fengyun looked at him contemptuously. She pulled the thin rope next to her and a thin man came in, "See Mr. Li!"

"You take this letter to Zhang Ruofeng's room and make him commit suicide fearless!"

Zhang Ruojin was shocked and hurriedly stopped him and said, "The Zhang family was very cautious at night, and outsiders could not get in at all."
