The Great Seminary

Chapter 75: Crushing the matter to death
The thin Taoist priest felt mixed emotions after being captured by Zhang Gui.

His sturdy companion with brass knuckles, though only at Zhang Ba'er's waist, clenched his fists fearlessly and glared at him, saying:
"You bold lunatic, if you really have the guts, then let go of Li Gongfeng.

Let's have a hard-fought fistfight."

At the same time, there were people from the Pingyang Zhang family's "Su Shi Fang" shouting,
"Zhang Jiugui, you still have a bright future ahead of you. Don't make the mistake of putting yourself in the wrong place..."

But Zhang Gui didn't care what others said. He stared at the thin Taoist priest with an expressionless face for a while, and suddenly laughed:

"Taoist, you know my identity and still dare to do evil things. You are so bold!
The country is in a difficult situation now and a war is imminent.

This kind of moment.

You actually dared to falsely accuse a military governor just because you and your master went to a brothel on New Year's Day and something went wrong.

This was the time when the imperial court was using military force.

Whether I will die without a burial place for revenge in the future is not the point.

Believe it or not, if I were to do this because of what you just said:
"How can a mere eighth-rank militia captain, who is good at defeating bandits, be taken seriously by the Shuanghu Rong family?"

Bring warships to block the sea grain route and file a complaint with the emperor."

At this point, Zhang Gui looked at the man with brass knuckles as if he were looking at a dead person.
“The Rong family in Shuanghu cannot be moved.

But your two young masters, along with your entire family of ignorant fools, even if they were weighed skin and bones, it would not be enough to atone for their sins.

Some things cannot be achieved without careful consideration.

But if you weigh it, it's not even.

If you don’t even understand this, what’s the point of living?”

After saying this, Zhang Gui slowly exerted force with his palms, and bit by bit, he squeezed the thin Taoist priest, who was nodding his head and kowtowing, into a pulp.

During the whole process, he stared at the man with the brass knives.

But even though the big man's eyes turned bloodshot with anger, he didn't dare to shout again.

No matter how brave and courageous a person is, and no matter how fearless he is about death, as long as he has parents and relatives, he will have concerns and weaknesses.

He is a scoundrel but not stupid. He has been eating at the Rong family in Shuanghu for many years and knows how powerful he is.

If a military commander who holds the seal of authority is really willing to sacrifice his life, he might really pull the two eldest sons of the Rong family off their horses and let them fall to death, not to mention a minion like himself.

There were still laughter and joy in other parts of the town, but Yuyufang was dead silent.

Zhang Gui rolled the thin Taoist's body into a ball as if throwing a shot put, and threw it towards the sea.

He looked around and said with a smile:
“Don’t panic, neighbors.

Just now, some bandits pretended to be the Shuanghu Rong family's worshippers and disrupted the government in front of me.

They falsely accused the Rong family of not even taking the imperial seal and the generals who commanded the troops seriously. I saw through their accusation and killed them on the spot.

Now the dust has settled.

Everyone continued to be happy and to dance."

After saying this, he jumped lightly back into the yard and returned to his normal appearance.

She ran back to the house, changed her clothes, and filled a large plate of crispy fruit dumplings. She ate them while walking out with a smile on her face.

The look is still the same as before, and the smile is still the same smile as before.

But except for Yang Duojie, even the two aunts couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end when they saw Zhang Gui, as if they had seen a man-eating beast.

The Rong family's minions and Ma Liu from the Zhang family's Sushifang had quietly retreated by then.

Zhang Gui looked at the place where they had just been showing off their might, and thought to himself:
“They robbed the Rong family of over 10,000 people, hundreds of carts, and a lot of livestock and silver.

Even if it rains heavily on New Year's Eve.

But it is dozens of miles from Wangbei Village to Mushroom Valley, so there must be traces left.

I originally wanted to adapt to the situation.

But now, by chance, I have the identity of the governor-general.
Then the best strategy would be to take the initiative to confront the Rong family.

Even if they find any flaws in me in the future, they can still say that I am framing a good person.

Besides, everyone is more afraid of crazy people than normal people. Since I am crazy enough to be crazy, unless I am 100% sure of killing me, even the gods will bear with me for the time being.

Those who come from wealthy families, have abilities, virtues, and good minds, but they are most aware of the fact that "a little impatience will ruin great plans."

Especially in a special period like the one in the previous life when 'stability overrides everything'."

……

The main residence and main house of the Zhang family in Pingyang, Jingxian Hall.

Zhang Qitai, who was sitting at the main seat, and Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu, who were guests, listened to their subordinates' account of how Zhang Guiqiang killed the thin Taoist priest.

Zhang Qitai's face was as dark as water, and Rong Anshan's face was gloomy, but neither of them said anything.

Rong Anqiu was furious, "Li Zajia died just like that!
He is a Taoist priest named Bing Shao who specializes in cultivating the primordial spirit.

How could I be crushed to death by a kid who just entered the Dao? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Li Zajia is his most capable arm among the several servants under his command.

It can be used in hunting, bird training, and even stealing people and treasures, otherwise it would not be called a "polymath".

Seeing Rong Anqiu's distressed look, the subordinate who was questioned could only bite the bullet and explain:
"Anqiu Grand Treasurer Rong reports that before Li Gongfeng was captured, he was very close to Zhang Gui.

Furthermore, Zhang Gui's sudden attack came without any summons, which is why this happened."

"This Zhang Gui is hateful, hateful, extremely hateful!" Rong Anqiu roared when he heard this.

But no matter how furious he was, he was just talking nonsense and didn't say a single word about revenge.

Rong Anshan didn't even say anything, he just summed it up in a bland way,

"This is indeed an extremely delicate moment. A little impatience can ruin a great plan."

Obviously, both of them clearly realized that Li Zajia was acting like a madman and was caught, and was unjustly killed.

Under the current situation, death would be in vain.

But understanding is understanding, and mood is mood.

Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu no longer had the energy to get involved with Zhang Qitai.

He soon said goodbye and left.

Zhang Qitai watched the two dandies disappear from view, and said with a strange expression:
"Judging from the tone of Rong Anshan and Rong Anqiu's words, they haven't reported the robbery at Wangbei Village to their elders yet.

Still want to solve the case myself.

Isn't this just insane?

Everything went so smoothly that he reached a high position without any setbacks.

I really think I can do anything."

The personal servant standing beside him responded softly:
“That’s it.

In addition, the two eldest sons of the Rong family are still competing with each other.

They were pushing each other forward, so it was normal that they felt awkward for a while."

“You’re right about this.

There is also Zhang Gui in our clan, no, now he should be called Zhang Jiugui.

It seems that he was favored by the great ancestor god, and he was able to enter the Tao easily after just a few glances at the "Book of Zongheng".

Unfortunately, there were no visions at birth.

At most, there will be a divine cluster that can just about activate the "True Transformation".

It's okay to cultivate it when the clan is doing well.

But given our current family, national and political situation, we don't have the ability to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Besides, he has now deeply offended the dandy couple from the Shuanghu Rong family.

Just let it be, without suppressing or helping others.”
