one's door

According to the rules of the local government, people like Zhang Yan who returned to their original place after clearing their crimes are indeed more troublesome than the general relocation procedures, but it will definitely not take several days to smooth them out.It's not like Zhang Yan had a similar situation before, and the registration was completed on the same day.Therefore, the subordinates thought that Zhang Yan was in serious trouble, and it might be related to his previous crime. "

The smile on Zhou Cang's face brought a bit of coldness when he heard this.He had learned from Lin Zedong's letter before that there might be something strange about the case of Zhang Yan being exiled to the army.Because would a person who is dignified and miscellaneous learn inexplicably to set fire to a person who has nothing to do with him?What's more, you still do this kind of thing in one of your own shops?It doesn't make sense at all.

Can you take care of it?For Zhou Cang, it was far from that.So he didn't get to know it in depth, thinking that after meeting Zhang Yan himself, he would see if he needed to be kind to find a good relationship.

Now the adjutant's words almost awakened the case on Zhang Yan's back.There must be something strange in it, and most of it has something to do with someone in the local yamen of Langyuan City.

Originally, if you think about this matter in the direction of "Zhang Yan was wronged", it is actually not difficult to find some clues from it.

Who has the ability to hide the truth?

Who has the ability to convict someone innocent?

Now there is another one who refuses to be registered and chooses to delay.All circumstances point to the local yamen of Langyuan City.And it should be someone with a high status inside.

Zhou Cang nodded, and said: "You are right. Zhang Yan is indeed different from ordinary people in the market. But he is a person of miscellaneous studies, and it is normal to be different. Otherwise, is it a fake?

But in your opinion, is it necessary for us to protect what he asked for? "

The adjutant thought for a moment, and replied: "Your Excellency is the No. 1 military position in Langyuan City. Is there anything on the ground here that you can't protect? The subordinates don't think so. As for whether to take action, it's up to you personally." Make up your mind, subordinates dare not speak falsely."

Zhou Cang didn't think it was disobedient, and looked down at the two pills in his palm again.

As his adjutant said, as long as he did not commit a major crime against the law, Zhou Cang never thought that he could not protect anyone in Langyuan City.Even if he faced Wu Yuan, the highest position in the local yamen, he would not lie.After all, the army and the locality are two lines, each of them manages a share, but they also check and balance each other. They can give each other face, of course, they can also choose not to give it.

To put it bluntly, asylum or not asylum depends on whether it is cost-effective.In other words, is Zhang Yan's value to Zhou Cang worth it for him to compete with a certain important person in the local yamen?

"Find someone to try this bone-strengthening pill and see how it works." Zhou Cang took a bone-strengthening pill and threw it to the adjutant next to him, and at the same time ordered him to find someone to test the medicine.

"Hey, if my lord allows it, I would like to be the person who tried the medicine." The adjutant bowed to ask for orders after receiving the elixir, and he had already planned in this regard.

Zhou Cang was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that this food will ruin your stomach?"

"Subordinates are not afraid. That Zhang Yan is a person of miscellaneous studies, and his methods are unpredictable. It is normal that he has never seen it before. But since he dared to bring two, it is obvious that he will save a rich one for you to test medicine, sir. It can be seen that he is full of confidence. Hehe, my lord will let my subordinates follow me this time. Although my subordinates are in the middle of the Yuan Kaijing stage, although their cultivation base is not high, they can barely serve as a reference for your lord. Please give me your permission. "As he said, he bowed to the end.

Zhou Cang waved his hand with a smile and said, "All right, if you are willing to take the risk, then give it a try."

"Thank you sir!"

The adjutant didn't delay, since he was allowed to take a bone-strengthening pill first, he took it immediately and sat on the chair next to him.Close your eyes and feel the changes in your body.

Zhou Cang also stood up from his seat and walked to his adjutant.Although he didn't think Zhang Yan would use poison to harm him, necessary care was still needed, just like he didn't take it directly but asked someone to test the medicine, not because of suspicion, but pure caution.

If the adjutant showed something was wrong, he would immediately reverse the vitality in the adjutant's body, force out all the food the adjutant had eaten, and then send it to the doctor for treatment.Of course, if that's the case, Zhang Yan must die.

After a while, Zhou Cang found that his adjutant began to sweat all over his body, and his skin turned red, and soon a wisp of white air gushed out from the top of his head, as if he was steaming something in his body.

This made Zhou Cang immediately think of the martial artist's appearance when taking Jingusan, which is also similar.

"It works." Zhou Cang asserted in his heart.

After another meal, the adjutant opened his eyes again, covered in sweat.

"how?"

"My lord, it works! My subordinates feel the same as when taking Jingusan. But the difference is that Jingusan is a tonic, and this bone-strengthening pill seems to stimulate the existing potential of the muscles and bones, and it is based on cultivation. It is the same as Zhang Yan. The saying 'the higher the cultivation base, the greater the effect' is consistent. And the effect of the medicine has not completely passed at this time, and it continues to affect the whole body of the subordinate. It is estimated that it should be absorbed in about five or six days."

Zhou Cang's eyes flashed brightly, and he asked anxiously, "How much can you gain from your feelings?"

"Well... Based on a rough feeling, the subordinates think that the gain will not be less than [-]%, but it will not exceed [-]%. "The adjutant thought for a while before saying.

"One and a half?!" Zhou Cang felt a sudden tremor in his heart.I thought it was just a little bit more muscle and bone strength, like muscle and bone powder.But the adjutant said "one and a half" instead of "a few points more".If Zhou Cang himself can gain [-]% of the gain, then...

Zhou Cang is not hesitating either.Since you are curious, try it yourself, and swallow the remaining one immediately.

Chapter 73 Baby

Just now Zhou Cang took care of his adjutant, but now the adjutant guards him.

After Zhou Cang took the remaining bone-strengthening pill, he soon entered the state of cultivation, feeling that the strength of the muscles and bones in his body was increasing rapidly as the adjutant said.It is very similar to the feeling when taking Jingusan.But slowly you will realize the difference between the two.

Jingusan is like "pouring water" into a water tank, and it is more or less fixed at a time.

And this bone-strengthening pill seems to have drilled a spring under the water tank, and it leaks out. How much it can leak depends on the strength of the realm of cultivation.That is what the adjutant said to stimulate "potential".

Time flies, and Zhou Cang is more and more shocked by the magic of the bone strengthening pill.He is very clear about his adjutant's cultivation base, and he also understands how much his muscles and bones increase by [-]% in the middle stage of Yuan Kaijing.But now the effect of the pill falling in his body is much higher than the benefits obtained by the adjutant.

After about two sticks of incense, Zhou Cang opened his eyes. In the short period of time just now, he felt that his muscles and bones had been significantly strengthened, and it was the same as the adjutant's feeling. He also felt that he had finally absorbed the pill. After the medicinal power in the medicine can at least increase the strength of the muscles and bones by half, but it is less than [-]%.

Zhou Cang couldn't help being speechless.Now that he is in the middle stage of Tongqiao Realm, one pill can increase the strength of muscles and bones by [-]%, so what if it is given to a warrior with a higher cultivation level?Wouldn't the Hundred Refining Realm above the Tongqiao Realm also gain at least [-]%?How about the higher Duanshanjing?

The more he thought about Zhou Cang, the hotter he felt.There is even a feeling: it's a pity.

It seems that if this bone-strengthening pill can increase the strength of bones by [-]% in any realm, although his cultivation level in the Tongqiao realm is not low, it can also be said to be a waste.

"My lord, this subordinate thinks it's better to protect Zhang Yan." The adjutant was originally not suitable to participate in specific decisions, and he has always abided by this measure, but this time he really couldn't hold back, worrying that his lord would miss out on such an opportunity. A once-in-a-lifetime talent.

Zhou Cang managed to calm down the excitement in his heart, nodded, did not speak, but agreed with the adjutant's statement.

Zhang Yan is not only a "big talent" in Zhou Cang's heart at this time, he is simply a "baby". Zhou Cang will never allow himself to miss this good relationship.Even if he directly confronts Wu Yuan, who is the highest-status in the local yamen of Langyuan City, he doesn't think it's a loss!

"The yamen told Zhang Yan that he will be registered in three days, which means that Zhang Yan will be threatened within three days. It's not necessarily just him, the entire Zhang family is probably the target." Zhou Cang's style of doing things is vigorous and resolute, and the army also No procrastination.Now that he has decided to help Zhang Yan keep out the wind and rain, he immediately started to think about it.

Regardless of who is Zhang Yan's opponent in the local yamen, helping Zhang Yan through the most difficult three days is the primary goal, and it can also be given to Zhang Yan as a meeting gift, so as to pave the way for the subsequent encounters.

The adjutant next to him was also thinking about it, and continued Zhou Cang's words: "My lord, Zhang Yan came back yesterday, and I'm afraid he has experienced some dangers during the day today. It's still good now, and there may be more disturbances after nightfall. Do you think the brothers who watch the night should take care of the Zhuzui Lane side?"

Zhou Cang nodded and agreed: "Yes, we can add a team of people to patrol the night tonight, just watch the front and back of Zhuzui Lane, don't worry if there are night guards coming out, even if they overlap with them on patrol, you must keep an eye on Zhuzui Alley, if there is any suspicious person, immediately sound the whistle to warn.

At the same time, I would like to say hello to the city wall in advance, and stay on duty tonight, both externally and internally. "

There are some things that Zhou Cang can't say directly in the order, but the adjutant understands and understands how to give hints to the people below when he explains later.

"Go ahead, save tonight first, and go find Zhang Yan tomorrow to have a good chat."

"Yes, this subordinate will go and implement all aspects of tonight."

The adjutant left in a hurry, Zhou Cang closed his eyes again to experience the effects of the medicine still working in his body.It is inevitable that I will be quite excited here.

Zhou Cang, who was in the middle stage of Tongqiao Realm, carefully calculated that this pill of his own would at least increase the strength of his muscles and bones by at least [-]%. There are only three sets of Jingu powder that can be distributed throughout the year, and one set of Jingu powder in exchange for salary, and only four sets of Jingu powder a year, and he needs to save the seven sets of Jingu powder for two years.This is on the premise that he is free to use it, and in fact even Zhou Cang will save some bones and bones, and use it on the key points of the realm breakthrough.It will not be used like this.

"If one is effective, what about two? What about three?" Zhou Cang didn't know the "drug resistance" of the elixir, and he had already started to imagine dozens or hundreds of bone-strengthening elixirs that would make his cultivation soar all the way. The scene of leaps and bounds is over.After finally recovering, I realized that this thing shouldn't be so heaven-defying.

"If there is really no limit, it is impossible for no one to know about it all the time. Either there is some upper limit restriction, or this item is extremely difficult to refine and is rare."

After calming down, Zhou Cang continued to ponder between "Strong Bone Pill" and "Zhang Yan".Thinking of some relatively far-reaching things.

For example, did Zhang Yan make this kind of "Strong Bone Pill" by himself?This is a question mark.Even though Zhang Yan said it was "difficult to do" and the elixir was still warm when he got it, Zhou Cang still wanted an affirmative answer.

Did Zhang Yan do it or did he inherit it from his master?

If it is the inherited elixir, does Zhang Yan still have it?Do you know how to refine it?

If Zhang Yan made it himself, what about the difficulty and distance, and the difficulty of obtaining medicinal materials?

It must be very difficult to refine this kind of heaven-defying thing, and the medicinal materials needed must be very difficult!Zhou Cang thought so, and even began to think about how to speak when he met Zhang Yan tomorrow.

It shows how much Zhang Yan valued in Zhou Cang's heart at this moment.

……

Almost at the same time, Zhang Yan had just finished eating the food left for him by his family, refused his younger sister to clean up, went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and then went to the elder brother's room to help the elder brother deal with the filth, and then he was thinking about how to make him clean. Big brother can not be so inconvenient now, at least he can move his position and do some simple things.For the elder brother, this is definitely an important thing to open up the psychological knot.

The method of "rebirth of severed limbs" was mentioned in the classics of Longhu Mountain, but it was still too far away from Zhang Yan's cultivation level at this time.At present, we can only find a way on external objects.

Do two prosthetics?This doesn't work, Zhang Yan doesn't know the composition of the prosthesis, so he can't do it.

Then make a wheelchair?This one seems to be easier...

Chapter 74 Asylum

Zhang Yan dug out some paper and pens at home. It is said that they were used for keeping accounts when he opened a shop. Later, when he moved, his younger sister Zhang Huiyuan sometimes used them to write a few words for practice.Now in Zhang Yan's hands, it has become drawings.

Because there is no ruler, it is not so easy to draw. We can only add a lot of text and size descriptions as drawing aids.Moreover, Zhang Yan also stopped drawing, and needed to think from time to time, which also took a lot of time.

At first, the little girl Zhang Huiyuan who was curious also gathered around to watch the fun, saying that she wanted to see if her second brother was going to display some magical knowledge again.He also muttered that the second brother shouldn't have hidden Yunyun for so many years, and he was honest when he was slapped on the back by the sharp-eared old mother Wang Lanping.

But as time passed, Zhang Huiyuan couldn't understand the writing and drawing, so she yawned and went back to her room to sleep, leaving a lamp for Zhang Yan to continue working on the table in the main room.

The reason why Zhang Yan didn't say what he was painting was because he didn't want to make his family look forward to it too early.Because he himself doesn't know how long it will take to get the wheelchair, and there will definitely be many problems that need to be adjusted continuously, which is difficult to solve overnight.So it's better to wait until everything is almost done before talking about it.

Of course, Zhang Yan was so anxious to make a wheelchair for his elder brother, not because he was really in a hurry for a while, but to find something for himself so that he could have a reason to stay in the main room.

The house in Zhuzui Lane is not a mansion with ventilation on all sides. It is surrounded by close courtyard walls, not to mention the back door, and the windows are all rare things.Except for the entrance and exit of the main room, the inner room is stuffy, and even the daylight is illuminated by a few bright tiles on the roof.

Of course, the Zhang family's house in Zhuzui Lane is considered pretty good, after all, the room is so spacious.

Therefore, Zhang Yan stayed in the main room, even if he guarded the easiest way to get in and out, and was in the middle, even if there were any changes in the surrounding rooms, he could still deal with emergencies.Even after everyone in the family fell asleep, Zhang Yan placed two bean soldiers at the door of each room to prevent accidents.

Murderous intentions appeared frequently during the day, but now that it was night, it might not be easy.If it wasn't for worrying that the other party would jump over the wall and use his family members to threaten him, Zhang Yan could just find a place to lie around. It would not be easy to find him in the huge Langyuan City.

But be cautious until soon after nightfall, Zhang Yan's perception found that the outside of the door was different from yesterday.Two more teams of soldiers patrolling the night are cruising back and forth in the alley. I'm afraid this posture is not much less defensive than the gate of the Jiangwu Academy in the city, right?

In this way, Zhang Yan relaxed a lot at once, and his heart was no longer as tight as before.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou has already experienced the effect of the bone strengthening pill." Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that Zhou Cang's trial of Zhuanggudan should be very successful, and it is much faster than Zhang Yan expected.He originally thought that the results would not come until tomorrow at the earliest, but he never expected that Zhou Cang would be testing the medicine as soon as he left, otherwise he would never have reacted so quickly.

Two teams of soldiers patrolling the night, of which three soldiers from each team are warriors, in Zhang Yan's perception, belong to the strengthened night patrol system.It shows that Zhou Cang attaches great importance to bone strengthening pills.Or it could be said that he valued Zhang Yan.

With these two teams of soldiers patrolling the night, it is basically impossible for things to continue to change.Against the two teams of soldiers and the sound of police whistles that may sound at any time, insist on raiding the Zhang family?People with a normal mind can't do this kind of thing.Not to mention whether it is possible to break in, this kind of aggressive defense alone is seeking a dead end, which will inevitably leave a lot of hand tails, and finally implicate the people behind the scenes.

In fact, Zhang Yan's thoughts were quickly confirmed, and it was further confirmed that the person who wanted to murder him behind the scenes was Wu Qingling, the only son of Wu Yuan, the governor of Langyuan City.

Because Zhuzui Lane is full of people tonight, not only the two teams sent by the garrison Zhou Cang to protect Zhang Yan, but even the yamen servants who are rarely seen in the west of the city on weekdays have come to Zhuzui Lane to watch the night, not just walking around the entrance of the alley Instead, he went deep into the alley and met face to face with the guards.Afterwards, the yamen servants left, but the guards were still nailed here.

And just when Zhang Yan passed the time by drawing drawings of wheelchairs, and the pressure was greatly reduced, the other party who was involved in the same matter was just the opposite of him, and he could no longer hold his breath as before...

Others couldn't walk around the streets after Haizheng, but to Wu Qingling, this was nothing at all.It is still easy to get a few signs for the night watchman or the urgent official business of the yamen.Even after nightfall, it was still a time period for remediation that Wu Qingling originally designed.

That's right, Wu Qingling is thinking of a way to remedy the Haikou that she boasted in front of her father yesterday, and she is sure to solve Zhang Yan's hidden danger within three days.He also said that he would never disturb his father.

But the facts gradually made Wu Qingling, who didn't take this matter too seriously, into a rage.

The original well-conceived plan failed inexplicably, and it is still unclear where the failure was.

Those green-skinned bastards were notified by Wu Qingling, taking advantage of their original conflict with Zhang Yan, and adding two ruthless killers into it, so that Zhang, who was drunk by Xiao Chongwen and the others in advance, lost the ability to escape and resist Yan can die.Finally, the head catcher in the yamen will go to finish the qualitative analysis.As soon as Zhang Yan died, he still died in the conflict with Qingpi bastard, which had nothing to do with Wu Qingling at all.The troubles vanished.

This was already Wu Qingling's plan after he heard that Zhang Yan had learned methods and skills in the army and was no longer as easy to deal with as before. He originally thought it would be foolproof.

As a result, a "wrong person" completely messed up all the plans.Even in the end, the arrester wanted to dig a hole in the words and take Zhang Yan away first, but he blocked the conversation.Can only let it go.

As for what Xiao Chongwen and the others said so eloquently about "changing face" and "changing face", Wu Qingling didn't believe it at all.I thought it was Xiao Chongwen's illusion of being drunk.And those green-skinned bastards admitted the wrong person and made a fool of themselves.Of course, Wu Qingling didn't think about protecting those green-skinned bastards, except for the two assassins who were sent by him, the rest are just tools used by him. How can tools know who is controlling them?

One wrong move followed by a wrong step, and finally Zhang Yan had nothing to do, but the time suddenly came to the next night.There is only one day left before the deadline.This made Wu Qingling a little nervous.Once he broke his promise, he would suffer from his father's side, and the most important thing was that he couldn't stand his father's disappointed eyes looking at trash.

So tonight was the time for Wu Qingling to make amends. He sent people to deal with Zhang Yan's family overnight, and another fire broke out to destroy the corpses and wipe out all traces, and everything would naturally disperse.At worst, it would not be difficult to sacrifice a little, hand over the three of Xiao Chongwen and the others to take the blame, or make a look like committing suicide and absconding in fear of crime, it would just take some effort.

But the variable came again.

"What are you talking about! The two teams of the garrison are nailed to Zhuzui Lane!?"

"Yes, young master. When you ask them, they say it's a military order, and they don't listen to persuasion at all. It seems that they are deliberately protecting the Zhang family."

Chapter 75

The reason why the time was set for three days was to solve Zhang Yan's trouble before the city guard Zhou Cang could react.

Although it is not clear whether Zhou Cang will continue to stand up for Zhang Yan, it can be just in case, so neither Wu Qingling nor his father Wu Yuan wants to have a direct conflict with Zhou Cang.

But the plan during the day fell through, and Wu Qingling's chance to make amends at night was gone, because Zhou Cang made a move faster than he thought, and there were still two teams of people protecting the Zhang family, with an extremely tough attitude.

This kind of strength clearly shows that even Zhou Cang can guess that someone behind Zhang Yan wants to kill Zhang Yan, so he is declaring his protection for Zhang Yan, and it is also a warning.

In this case, Zhang Yan's trouble will be difficult to deal with!

However, the people beside him had new ideas. Seeing Wu Qingling's troubled face, he thought about it and tried to say: "Young Master, in fact, Zhou Cang's intervention in this matter is beyond your scope. Three In fact, less than two days have passed since the time limit of two days. Although your promise was temporarily blocked, it is not a failure after the deadline. If you can report the situation to the master immediately, it will also allow the master to make more preparations, and you are considered a son Understand the situation."

If these words were said in normal times, Wu Qingling would definitely take them as a mockery of him, and the person who said these words would definitely peel off his skin if he didn't die.

But the current situation has reached a dead end for Wu Qingling, as the person who made the suggestion said, it is beyond his scope of handling.How could Wu Qingling not be clear about these things?What annoyed him was how to explain to his own father, and how the Haikou he boasted would end up.In this way, those suggestions fell into Wu Qingling's ears very differently, and they even hit the right target.

"You mean you can use this to get away?"

"My lord, it is not advisable to withdraw completely. It will appear that you are lacking in responsibility, and you will definitely not be liked by the master. It is best to let the master resist Zhou Cang's momentum and firmly press the lid on Zhang Yan, so that you can continue. Get your hands under the hood. It also shows your means and your commitment.”

Wu Qingling nodded when he heard the words, he felt that what the other party said made some sense.It also revived his somewhat tangled mood just now.

From the Wu family to Wu Qingling's generation, he was the only seedling. In the end, no matter whether Wu Yuan wanted to or not, he would be the one to carry the pillars of the Wu family in the future.So even if Wu Qingling is innocent now, Wu Yuan will inevitably arrange her to be an official in the near future.Even Wu Qingling felt that the reason why his father allowed him to mess with him for a long time actually had a meaning of "exercising" him.

Because Wu Qingling often heard this sentence from his father as long as he could remember: officialdom is like a battlefield, those who are kind and soft-hearted can only be slaughtered as livestock, and only those who kill decisively can go straight to the top.

Wu Qingling didn't have an officialdom to give him exercise, to solve the trouble after causing trouble, in Wu Qingling's view, is this not exercise?Coupled with his father's acquiescence, he gradually became the "Second Political Official" rumored outside.
