Chapter 384 Trading
After a long talk all night, Liu Zhong straightened up the next day and found that Bai Pu was no longer there, his belongings were also cleaned up, and he didn't know where he had gone.

"What about people?"

"Mr. Bai seems to have left last night."

"You idiot, why don't you follow?"

"This...experience has explained that Mr. Bai must be respected. At that time, the villain thought he was just going out for a walk."

"Idiot. Do you take a walk in the middle of the night?"

Although displeased, Liu Zhongzhi thought about it and realized that Bai Pu left only after he achieved his goal.

I found out the Zhang family's handle, forced the Zhang family to hand over Li Xia, took Li Xia to Kaifeng, and interrogated Shi Zhang's whereabouts... Isn't that what Bai Pu did?
Besides, Yuan Haowen had a friendship with Zhang Rou, and Bai Pu obviously didn't want to show up to offend the Zhang family, so leaving at this time would be a good choice.

"Heh, scholar. I still want to cover everything. When I get Li Xia, it's not up to me what to interrogate."

Liu Zhongzhi thought about this, and sent someone to write a letter of greeting to Zhang Hongdao, asking him to meet at the Xiangyang Tower by the Songtang River.

He decided to listen to Bai Pu's suggestion and make a deal with the Zhang family, each taking what he needed and having a good time.

The reason why Zhang Rou was not invited was because Liu Zhongzhi, a petty official, could not reach the other party, and he was also afraid of Zhang Rou, a veteran general; and the reason why he did not go to the Zhang family was also because he was afraid...

Thinking about it this way, it would be a good deal to make a deal. It can make meritorious service without offending the Zhang family to death.

~~
Zhang Rou is ready to go out of the city first to gather troops, and then she will be able to pull out her camp and follow Tacha'er to attack Song Dynasty tomorrow.

The Zhang family was busy, and in the lobby, the children and daughters of the Zhang family greeted and bid farewell to Zhang Rou.

"Go away! I'm very busy."

Zhang Rou cursed, put on her armor, and turned her head to see that the young girl Zhang Wenwan was standing there pitifully.

"What happened to the second sister?"

"It's so annoying." Zhang Wenwan puffed her cheeks and said, "Every day, the whole house is blocked. I can't even ask Tao'er to go out and buy things for me."

Zhang Rou put away her majestic expression, and smiled apologetically, "Isn't this a war? It will be fine after the war."

"Then how can fifth brother go out every day?"

Zhang Wenwan's name is Wenwan, but she is not gentle at all, and she talks endlessly.

"My hand stove is broken, and the hand stoves in the house are ugly, so I don't like to use them. It's cold again, and Fifth Brother obviously wants to freeze me to death. Also, don't you want me to learn how to be a female celebrity? The styles are too ugly, I want to go out and find beautiful styles..."

"Okay, okay. Wulang, you are too lenient. Whatever the second sister wants, you go and pick it for her."

It's nothing more than that Zhang Rou likes family happiness when she gets old, and she would like to talk more with her daughter and grandchildren, but in fact she doesn't have time to care about these trivial matters, so she walked out with big strides while talking casually.

After walking a few steps, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Wenjing who was standing there quietly.

"Elder sister?"

"Huh? Father?"

"You have nothing to say to Weifu?"

"My daughter wishes her father a successful start."

"Be happy, let's talk about it when we come back."

Zhang Rou paused and left the lobby.

He walked through the courtyard all the way, muttering to himself.

"Fighting the flag to win the fart, Tacha'er dared to attack the Song Dynasty just after he seized the military power of the Monan King, what a fool..."

In the lobby over there, Zhang Wenwan was very proud, she made a face at Zhang Hongdao, and said, "Huh, fifth brother, you heard that, my father asked you to pick things for me yourself, and I'm going to send five maidservants out today, five. "

"You are annoying."

Zhang Hongdao scolded softly, casually asked his wife to arrange this trivial matter, and told him that even if only a few maidservants in the back house were allowed to go out, they would definitely send guards to watch over them...

Halfway through the conversation, someone from the front yard came to report: "Wulang, there is a greeting card."

"Wow." Zhang Wenwan said: "Fifth brother, you are really... so many grown-up brothers, but you don't have an official position, but you are busier than your father all day long."

"You can shut up, the little girl is so talkative."

"I'm not going to shut up. Lock me up if you have the ability. I'm going back to the old house in Baozhou to find Brother Six..."

Zhang Hongdao had a slight disdainful smile on his face, and he frowned after taking the greeting card in his hand.

"I'm going out for a while."

"Hey, fifth brother, you..."

"I need to find your sister-in-law."

Zhang Hongdao had already turned around and walked out. When he left the hall, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Wenjing.

I saw Zhang Wenjing still standing there calmly, calm, as if not thinking about anything...

~~
"Goro, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhang Hongdao coming out, Shen Kai quickly stepped forward to meet him.

Zhang Hongdao threw the greeting card in his hand, and said, "Liu Zhong directly invited me to Xiangyang Tower, what did he find out?"

Shen Kai said: "I didn't find any key places where his people went."

"Then what did you find out about him?"

Shen Kai lowered his voice and said: "I bought a close friend beside Liu Zhongzhi, and spent..."

"It doesn't matter how much it costs, it's up to you."

"The close friend said that there is a middle-aged man next to Liu Zhongzhi, called 'Mr. Bai', who came to Bozhou with Liu Zhongzhi from Kaifeng, whispering with Liu Zhongzhi every day, could it be that he has been reminding Liu Zhongzhi ?”

"Mr. Bai?" Zhang Hongdao said in surprise, "I didn't see Liu Zhongzhi with his staff yesterday."

"Mr. Bai went out early yesterday, but he didn't know where he went, and he couldn't find it."

Zhang Hongdao frowned and asked, "What does this person look like?"

"He has three long beards and a handsome appearance. He looks like a celebrity at first glance."

"Celebrity? Have you seen it?"

"I didn't see it, I disappeared last night."

Zhang Hongdao frowned even deeper, and muttered to himself: "Bai Pu? Going south with Liu Zhongzhi? Li Xia contacted Bai Pu through the Han family's relationship? It shouldn't be, as Bai Pu is a person, he would never participate in it." This kind of intrigue... is there anyone else?"

"Goro?"

"Make arrangements, I'll go see Liu Zhongzhi."

"Yes……"

~~
On the bank of Songtang River, Danhua Building.

Zhou Nan and Lin Xu hold the wine glasses.

"I'll toast Brother Bai."

"Thank you for your expense, there are too many dishes, can you share some dishes with those people?" Bai Pu did not raise his glass, but pointed to a few refugees on the street.

Zhou Nan and Lin Xu looked at each other, feeling a little ashamed, hurriedly recruited the store, removed a few dishes, and paid for more steamed buns to be distributed.

"It's because of Brother Bai's visit, and it's rare to have a banquet. Normally, Yuan Jiang and I will not be extravagant."

Bai Pu nodded and said: "That's good, life and people are so difficult, big fish and big meat, I can't bear it."

It is also because there are too many dishes, otherwise he would not want to be hypocritical in front of his friends.

"Brother Bai has a great talent and a heart to help the people, why don't you come out of the official position?"

Faced with this question, Bai Pu just shook his head, and murmured: "Eternal China, once Lu sinks, how many times will you swallow your hatred and cry?"

There was no straightforward answer, but Zhou Nan and Lin Xu understood Bai Pu's determination not to be an official, but only to be a survivor of the Kingdom of Jin, and they all sighed.

The root cause is that when Bai Pu was young, he had witnessed the tragic death of his mother and family members in war disasters, and hated the Mongolian army to the bone.In this, he is different from his father Bai Hua.

"But I heard that Shi Shuai recommended Brother Bai a few years ago."

Bai Pu said: "I fell in love with Shi Shuai. At that time, I also had no face to live in Zhending. In recent years, I didn't dare to go to Kaifeng to see my father, so I had to wander with my uncle as home."

"That's okay, the disaster of hook exams is getting worse..."

"How about not talking about political affairs?" Bai Pu waved his hand and said, "If we talk about songs, poems and articles, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, we can have a happy gathering. If you persuade me to become an official, the two of you don't need to spend money on hosting a banquet."

"Haha, okay, don't talk about political affairs, don't talk about..."

~~
Upstairs in Xiangyang Building not far from Danhua Building, Zhang Hongdao and Liu Zhongzhi were sitting opposite each other and talking.

There were only two small dishes on the table, and neither of them reached out their chopsticks to pick them up, nor did they even pour the wine.

"...So, after China's death, the Zhang family and Eridunbari forged a blood feud, right?"

When Liu Zhong said this, he looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl.

Zhang Hongdao's face was completely gloomy, and he said, "How did you guess this?"

Liu Zhong said straightly: "If you want others to not know, you must do nothing yourself."

"Have you ever thought that Li Xia is misleading you?"

"Huh? Goro is too ridiculous. Can you fool me easily when I'm a fool?" Liu Zhong stared straight into Zhang Hongdao's eyes and asked slowly, "Goro just answer me, did you kill Eri Dunbari? "

"Who is framing me?!"

"Wulang, don't get angry, and stay calm." Liu Zhong said straightly: "Don't worry, what you and I said today will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and no one else will know."

"Let me tell you, you were deceived by Li Xia, who is sowing discord between the Zhang family and Han Ting."

"No, I found out this myself. Goro still refuses to admit it?"

"I haven't done it, how do you want me to admit it?"

"Huh? You haven't done it?" Liu Zhong said bluntly, "It's not that Li Xia is misleading me... Let's put it this way, Wu Lang met Bai Pu yesterday?"

"Bai Pu?"

"That's right, even your old friends from the Zhang family have made such speculations."

Liu Zhongzhi didn't care about Bai Pu's confession not to betray him, as long as he could force Zhang Hongdao to admit it, what did he care about?
"Goro, you think you're doing it perfectly, but smart people have already seen it."

Zhang Hongdao was stunned and fell into deep thought, he was really surprised.

Bai Pu?

Did Bai Pu really come with Liu Zhongzhi?Bought by Li Xia?
"Liu's experience, it must be that Bai Pu was entrusted by historians or Li Xia to frame my Zhang family..."

"Goro, Goro, don't explain, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether you really did it."

When Liu Zhong spoke up to this point, he asked word by word, "Answer me, did you kill Eridunbari?"
