When dinner was in the table, Zhang Ping looked at Wang Yan, and Wang Yan glanced at Zhang Ping.

Both of them had something to ask each other, but they didn't say anything.

Lan Jue and Liu Tongyiquan pretended not to see it, so they found a topic to chat. Zhang Ping buried his head in having dinner, and Wang Yan, Lan and Liu were chatting and laughing.

After dinner, Wang Yan said goodbye, and Zhang Ping looked at him again. Wang Yan might have glanced at him at the end of his eyes, but he never looked at him directly and left.

Liu Tongyi went to the small study to read Lan Hui, leaving Zhang Ping and Lan Jue in the hall. Lan Jue said in a gossip: "Yes, Lord Feng will tell you about the matter of King Dai today?"

Zhang Ping nodded, and Feng Tai told him that His Highness, King Dai, temporarily lives in Fengle County, will have his own person designated by the emperor to handle the matter with Zongzheng's Mansion. He will do whatever he has told him as he does. Never be smart and do what he shouldn't do.

The next sentence, Zhang Ping felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it.

Zhang Ping didn't know what to do when entertaining a noble person like His Highness, but it should not be difficult to do whatever he wanted.

Lan Jue said, "Oh, I will walk with His Highness King Dai, and I will turn to Jiuhe to worship my ancestors in the middle. I should only delay half a day before I can go to Fengle. I will notify you of some necessary things at that time."

Zhang Ping said: "Will adults go to Fengle?"

Lan Jue smiled: "Yes, it turns out that Lord Feng didn't tell you. I will serve Your Highness with the emperor. Mr. Gong Shangshu has been promoting love for our department over the years. I thought I could not send him off when he returned home, so I was always ashamed. But this time I was ordered to Fengle and I could send him off to my elders, which was my wish."

Zhang Ping nodded: "Yes."

Lan Jue's anger was slightly slight. You have arrived in Jingzhao Prefecture and have also managed a part of the land. When will you learn to speak?

Fortunately, Zhang Ping followed and said, "Then, the students are waiting for the adults."

This sentence is okay. Lan Jue smiled again.

Returning to Liu Tongyi's small house from Lan Mansion, getting off the carriage, Zhang Ping said to Liu Tongyi: "Brother Liu, I will say goodbye first."

Liu Tongyi was stunned for a moment: "Brother Zhang is going to Fengle overnight? Why not wait for tomorrow?"

Zhang Ping said: "It will be too late to leave tomorrow."

Liu Tongyi looked at him for a moment and nodded: "Brother Zhang, I know you must have your reasons. Then I'll arrange the carriage."

Zhang Ping said, "I can just ride a horse, thank you." He bought a horse while walking in the afternoon, and was eating grass in the stables of Liu Tongyi's house.

Liu Tongyi paused again. Zhang Ping's new official took office and it was indeed inappropriate to take someone else's car to drive. Moreover, he thought that Zhang Ping would do this for some reason, so he said, "Then I'll send Brother Zhang to the city gate. Although I can leave the city after checking the document at night, if someone sends it, it's more convenient for me to go out. Brother Zhang should not refuse."

Zhang Ping said gratefully: "Thank you." After going to the room to get a bag, Liu Tongyi took a few family members to take him to the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate saw that Zhang Ping was given away, and then saw Liu Tongyi's entourage's clothes clearly. After checking Zhang Ping's document, they immediately released it.

Zhang Ping said to the soldiers: "I dare to ask, can anyone who has had fun at home leave the city just now?"

The guards didn't care about this, but for the sake of Liu Tongyi's entourage's clothes, one replied: "Two or three quarters of an hour ago, there were a few people who left the city, as if they had just died at home."

Zhang Ping thanked him, and Liu Tongyi bowed and said, "Brother Zhang, it's hard to walk on the night road, be careful. After arriving in Fengle, send a message."

Zhang Ping thanked Liu Tongyi and said goodbye, and rode his horse out of the city gate.

The brown horse he bought is quite a foal, with good feet and a steady temper. He runs fast and steady at night. The owner said that it has Western Regions horse blood. Because it looks a bit like a mule, it was disliked, so it was sold by the owner at a cheap price. Zhang Ping found a flaw.

When the sky was dawn, Zhang Ping saw a tea shed in front of him, and when he walked closer, he saw a few horses in the open space near the shed, and several people in mourning clothes were sitting next to the horses, eating and drinking silently.

Zhang Ping dismounted in front of the tea shed, fed the horses to the stall main grass and water, bought a bowl of Hula soup and a piece of cake, sat under the shed to eat, and silently looked at the few people carefully. It turned out that they were from the Yao family, one of them, whom he had seen when he went to pay his respects, was Yao Qi, the second son of the Yao family, and the other few, who looked at the clothes and behaviors of servants.

The Yao family members did not pay attention to Zhang Ping. After eating and drinking, they got on their horses and continued to rush towards Fengle. Zhang Ping also quickly finished eating and stood up and followed.

After dawn, there were many people coming and going on the official road, and Zhang Ping followed the Yao family all the way and was not conspicuous. At almost noon, the Yao family rested on the side of the road for dinner, and Zhang Ping also stopped.

The people in the Yao family bought food in the open space behind the stall, not causing inconvenience to the stall owner. Yao Qi choked up and couldn't eat, so the servants advised him to eat a little. Zhang Ping asked for a bowl of noodles to eat in the stall, and after the Yao family finished eating, he continued to follow him.

After following him for a while, a Yao family member noticed him, looked back and said to others in a low voice: "There is a mule riding behind him, who seems to be following us all the time."

The other servants were shocked.

Jingzhao Prefecture said that the death of the official can be caused by other reasons, is it possible that...

The manager whispered: "Look first, don't disturb the young master. If you don't notice, keep going."

The servants obeyed, but couldn't help but look back quietly, and another servant said, "This man looks a little familiar."

The others felt a little more and kept observing all the way. When they were about to reach Fengle County, they saw Zhang Ping turning on another road at the fork in the road. The servant who saw him immediately whispered: "The mule rider will not follow us, turn south."

The manager frowned and turned around: "That road is not going..."

Yao Qi never paid attention to the small actions of the followers along the way. At this moment, he finally couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

The in charge immediately replied: "Young Master, there is nothing big, there is a mule riding a man who seems to be following us all the time, but just heading south, it should be heading towards Shounian Mountain."

Yao Qi was stunned and his face changed drastically: "Shou Nianshan? Grandma Temple?"

Zhang Ping did not follow the Yao family anymore, and did not enter Fengle County, but went straight to Shounian Mountain.

The Yao family turned around frequently along the way, and of course he knew.

When the Yao family discovered that he had changed to Shounianshan, what would he react? Zhang Ping felt that Lord Feng’s words were very reasonable. It depends on the facts. Moduo guessed, and the guess must be different from the facts.

There is an inn at the foot of Shounian Mountain, which is quite expensive. Zhang Ping reluctantly spent money to save the horse and walked up the mountain.

It was already dusk. Legend has it that Cishou's grandma had a break early at night and did not like others disturbing the quietness. If she stayed on the mountain, it would be a disaster. Grandma's temple was closed and she stopped letting pilgrims enter. There were also Taoist yamen runners to persuade the pilgrims to leave. Zhang Ping walked around and dodged all the way. When he reached the top of the mountain, the dusk was already dark and the shops were closed. The gate of Grandma's temple was closed. Zhang Ping flashed into the woods next to the temple and walked around the exterior wall of Grandma's temple. Suddenly he heard footsteps.

Zhang Ping then stopped silently, and the footsteps went in the other direction. Zhang Ping and the sound became farther away, and tried to keep up silently.

I walked through the lonely and secluded woods, and there was a light ahead. Outside the forest was a cliff, and the last touch of redness was about to disappear into the vast sky. A man stood at the tip of the cliff extending outward, smiling sadly towards the sky.

"When the sky was over, I just went--"

Before he could finish his words, he jumped down before he could even make his way out, Zhang Ping jumped out and grabbed him violently.

The man was shocked and struggled hard. Zhang Ping dragged him backwards repeatedly, shouting angrily: "Random, let go of our county!"

Zhang Ping paused his arm, the man stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and smiled sadly at the sky: "Stop, let's go, Tian is reluctant to give me the opportunity to leave with a decent opportunity!"

Zhang Ping said: "Are you the magistrate?"

The man closed his eyes and said coldly: "Nonsense. Why do you ask me knowingly? Who sent you to follow me? You didn't let go quickly, and don't even plan to leave a trace of face for me?"

Zhang Ping said: "Thank you County Magistrate?"

The man smiled sadly again: "When I was deposed, I was not the magistrate. You have already made Xie so embarrassed, why should I make me feel even more ashamed of this?"

Zhang Ping was silent and said after a moment: "If you don't jump, I'll let go. It's better to be alive than to die. If you die, there will be nothing."

The man didn't move and said hard, "Don't worry, how could I do something to stop in front of others."

Zhang Ping let go of his arms, the man turned around, opened his eyelids and looked at him: "When did you follow me?"

Zhang Ping said sincerely: "Just just now, I heard your footsteps unexpectedly, and I just followed you. I really don't know that you are Lord Xie."

The man glanced at him coldly: "You mean, you are a passerby, don't you know I am Xie Fu?"

Zhang Ping nodded.

Xie Fu stared at Zhang Ping's eyes expressionlessly: "Shounian Mountain is clear in the evening. Why are you on the top of the mountain at this time? You are still in the woods? Report your name."
