The Great Seminary

Chapter 28: Getting Away with It (Part )

Zhang Wutan did not comment on the opinion of his little friend and grandson.

“We don’t care whether it was the same three thieves or not.

Anyway, it gave Zhang Yan the opportunity to use his ruthless tactics.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, give the hundreds of Zhang family members, who are of mixed quality, the four skills of Flying Kick, Flowing Fire Fist, Wind-catching Hand and Crossbowman, which directly reach the fourth grade upper class.

How willing and thoughtful you must be!

Moreover, there are so many people talking about this matter, and there is no way to stop it except to kill them all.

In the end, he really used a lot of force to trick the head of the family.

Absolutely, absolutely amazing! "

“That’s true.

If there were fewer people, things would be much more difficult.

During the first half month after we arrived at Serpent Head Island, those managers and servants escaped from Blackwood Town.

But he was interrogated by Lord Zhang Wuren of the Internal Affairs Department, Lord Zhang Qilong of your Foreign Affairs Department, and Lord Zhang Yaqi, the owner of our company.

How many died, how many became stupid."

"Hey, my dear father, stop causing trouble, are you drunk?

We are still serving under their command, so we should stay away from them and avoid them."

“Hide, hide, hide.

These two grandsons, no, including the old Zhang Wuren from the housekeeping department, there are three grandsons in total.

Now you are using us as guns without knowing it.

Can you hide?"

Zhang Wutan was also depressed when he heard this. He drank a glass of wine, sighed deeply and said:
"Don't worry about whether the higher-ups are using us as pawns or not, everything will be over in no time.

The incident of "Zonghengshu" was exposed, and the "Tiangong Kaiwu" was lost as well, which made the owner of the house angry.

The eldest son pushed his father down and was about to take the throne.

Next the east wind prevailed over the west wind.

The old faction of the Internal Affairs family who are helping the eldest son will inevitably suppress the old faction of our External Affairs family.

Slowly strive for the big money bag of your "Four Seasons Trading Company".

But that’s all for later anyway.

The matter of Hei Mu is over.

Once the head of the family steps down, the eldest son's family will certainly not continue to fan the flames, but will instead do their utmost to maintain the reputation of the old head of the family.

Everyone teamed up to pretend to be confused."

"That's true.

As the new head of the family, the eldest son naturally has to protect his father's reputation, otherwise his position will be unstable from the beginning."

"yes.

So now everyone in the upper echelons has calmed down and is watching the situation, thinking that it is better to be still than to move.

Forcing us to be the first to take action."

In the current situation, the more you do, the more mistakes you will make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you will make; and if you do nothing, there will be no mistakes.

But they have to do it.

The two of them drank, complained, and ate crabs in a depressed mood. They were so busy that they even forgot that there were people waiting outside to question them in the middle of the night.

He fell asleep on the table and passed out drunk.

In this way, Zhang Gui and the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes waited outside the house all night.

It was not until the sky turned white and the heat rose that Zhang Wutan and Zhang Qihui woke up and were called in for questioning.

How can such an interrogation be serious?

Zhang Qihui briefly asked about Zhang Gui's experiences from the time he landed on the Giant Snake Head Island to the present, and then asked him to sign.

Then he said in a roundabout way: "Judging from your experience, you shouldn't be a thief from Zhang Yan's group, but your job is definitely gone.

We must remember this lesson and do our work faithfully in the future.

There is also the "Zonghengshu".

Ahem, rumor has it that you’ve all seen it, but that’s not necessarily the case.

But if it is true, and you spread it out, you will be betraying the family and seeking your own death, so you must be extremely careful.

Also, if you succeed in your studies, your family will certainly treat you well, understand?"

"I will keep your instructions firmly in mind."

Unexpectedly, the reality was even easier than he had expected. Zhang Gui was overjoyed, but on the surface he was afraid. Zhang Wutan looked at Zhang Qihui and waved his hand.

"Go down."

Zhang Gui bowed, turned around and slipped out of the house.

If you've questioned them and didn't arrest them on the spot, then everything's fine.

When Zhang Gui appeared outside the house in good shape, the stern face of the young man with thick eyebrows who led him here relaxed.

The two of them spent the whole night on the beach enjoying the breeze and developed a small friendship.

Now that Zhang Gui is fine, there is no need for him to keep putting on airs.

"It's okay.

My name is Zhang Tangchun. Like you, I am a member of the Zhang family in Pingyang, without any generation names. I am a descendant of the ninth generation.

I'm sorry it wasn't convenient to tell you yesterday."

"Brother Tang Chun is a straightforward person.

It's not a matter of forgiveness. If I were in your shoes, I probably wouldn't tell you my name either."

"Hahaha, that makes sense.

Come on, I'll take you back to the ship to arrange accommodation.

These spacious houses on the pier are not places where people of our stature can stay for long."

As they talked, the two returned to the ship.

Zhang Tangchun seemed to have a plan in mind. Without even a second's hesitation, he brought Zhang Gui to the bottom warehouse, a cargo room.

“Our tribe has few passenger ships, but mostly cargo ships.

It's inevitable that it's harder at times like this.

Chun Ge'er, please bear with me."

The warehouse on the ground floor was dim and dark.

The ceiling is more than one person high, and there are more than ten beds on the floor in the warehouse which is three meters square, but it does not make people feel cramped.

But in the height of summer, when everyone is sweating profusely, the pungent sour smell is still a bit inhumane.

Fortunately, there is no house arrest, so if I can’t bear it anymore, I can go out for a walk.

But the interior of the ship was as stuffy as a steamer.

It's so hot on the deck that you can almost die from the sun. It's better to stay in the hold and lie down comfortably.

After the accommodation was divided, Zhang Gui did the same thing. He took a hemp mat at the door, found an empty space to spread it out, and collapsed on the ground.

The people living here are all cattle and horses from Heimu Town who were implicated by Zhang Yan. They are all familiar faces and are in the same situation.

When new people come, they should greet each other.

But the heat is informal.

There's no energy left in this kind of steaming life. It's not enough to just strip off your clothes and expose your butt to be fanned. Who has the time to say hello?

I just made it through noon.

The messenger brought a large basket of white dough cakes, lukewarm water with sour vinegar, and two bowls of long pickled radish.

"This pancake is freshly made. If it's left out by the afternoon, it'll go bad. Don't waste it."

"Hey, Ke Si, we've been seeing each other for half a month now.

We are all descendants of the Zhang family in Pingyang, so why can't you improve our food?

If nothing else, I'd probably boil a bucket of mung bean water and pour it into the cool well at the dock to cool him down.

Everyone knows that this is just a joke and a complaint, and no one will take it seriously.

But the kitchen helper who brought the food was very harsh.
"What are you thinking about, mung bean soup from Liangjing?

When I was still working as a clerk at Hei Mu, it was a good time with three taels of silver a month to support my finances.

Now you are lucky enough to drink sour soup and eat bread and pickles.

Once we get back to shore, once our mission is over, we'll be left to starve."

"Fuck you, you're so mean at such a young age!"

Hearing the kitchen helper's unkind words, the burly man who had just complained jumped up from the table with his bare butt, kicked the kitchen helper down with a lightning-fast kick, and rolled into the corner.

Zhang Gui recognized it immediately. The strong man's kick was clearly a move from the "Zongheng Feiqiu" technique.

I just don't know if it was something he learned before, or if he picked it up during Zhang Yan's big giveaway of his skills.

"Remember, kid, there are talented people everywhere in the world."
