Now that his prison is in, he will definitely not be able to withstand it. He will soon be able to reach him. He will not be able to run away without running! If he runs barefoot, King Pingnan is a far-flung man on the north road of Jing, but he can't get rid of the wing troops in various places. He can only hope that Lord Tongzhi will allow him to transfer him out of Ningjiang Mansion. As long as he is not in Taiyuan, Ningjiang, he will be safe!

So even if he spends all his money, he dare not say a word...

Zhang Gui was depressed and returned home. His wife had packed up her things. He was about to choose some expensive belongings and sell them, and he raised 25,000 taels of silver.

Of course, he couldn't keep all his money at home. Most of it was in the silver house, and some were buried in the backyard of the riverside building. He planned to make it all overnight and send it to Tongzhi's mansion tomorrow morning to find a way out.

As for why he had reached this point in just over two months, Zhang Gui was too lazy to think about it, and he couldn't understand it.

At this moment, a noise came from outside the door. While cleaning the yard, my wife said, "It's probably the neighbor's children who are playing."

This time it wasn't the neighbors who played...

After a while, more than a dozen people broke into the door, holding a shaky knife in their hands and surrounded his yard. His wife was so scared that she screamed, Zhang Gui was weak. Although he was desperate, he was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

But what he didn't expect was that after a while, two people walked in, a young man accompanied by an old man who was half a step behind.

He knew the old man, Wang Ke, the judge of Ningjiang Prefecture. The young man who could accompany him so respectfully was naturally obvious.

Zhang Gui pulled his wife over and knelt down, crying: "Prince, please spare me, please spare me!"

King Pingnan said in a calm tone that made him scared, as if interested: "I really didn't expect that the final key was a prisoner like you. Tell me, how much money Wang Kai wants you?"

Zhang Gui was stunned. How did King Pingnan know? He couldn't speak at once.

"Don't say it?" King Pingnan signaled. Wang Ke stepped forward and read out the names of twenty-three officials in a row. From experiences in the department, to the chief of the house, to the magistrate, to the officials of the house, to the officials of the house, everyone had any relationship with him and asked him to help with the matter.

Now Zhang Gui completely collapsed to the ground and cried: "Prince, the villain confessed, the villain told the truth, 25,000 taels, he wanted 25,000 taels!"

"Do you have so many?"

"If you sell some family assets, you can get it..."

"I used to kill people like you, and you know that I killed a lot of people in the south, so I'm not afraid of you." King Pingnan said lightly, Zhang Gui's hands and feet were weak, and his heart was raised to his throat.

"But I will give you a chance now. If you do it well, you will go to the north to serve as a military force to fight."

Zhang Gui nodded quickly and kept kowtowing.

...........

It was already dim since Zhang Gui's house, and the cold breeze kept blowing. Li Xingzhou was wearing a sable coat, and she was warm, but her heart was particularly cold.

Wang Ke followed him, Li Xingzhou smiled and said to Wang Ke: "Does Lord Wang know? The emperor asked me to govern Dingjiangzhou and gave me a total of 20,000 taels of silver. As a result, this little prisoner could take out 25,000 taels of silver in his hand, hahaha..."

Wang Ke couldn't speak and said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, that's all people's wealth!"

"Think about it again, he can get 25,000 taels of silver as a prisoner. How many people are there in the family of Tongzhi who dare to get 25,000 taels of silver with him?"

Wang Ke couldn't speak anymore, and Li Xingzhou didn't say anything. Sometimes it was so shocking.

Confucius once said that if the world is stable, it is shameful to be poor and humble as scholars; if the world is chaotic, it is shameful to be rich as scholars. Jiangzhou makes a mess of porridge, and those who respect Confucius every day are not just wealth and honor, they are almost becoming a small treasury.

While fighting against Zhang Gui, the Xiang army cleared the riverside building. The difference is that Li Xingzhou issued an order to ask the Xiang army to bring more bows and crossbows. If there is any error, they can be killed immediately.

Since you can play remotely, why do you have to fight hand in hand?

Sure enough, the others were fine. The rooster resisted stubbornly, got seven or eight arrows, rushed forward and injured two soldiers in the wings. Finally, he broke the stair guardrail and fell to the first floor and couldn't get up. He was bleeding all over the ground. After a quarter of an hour, he slowly died. He still stared at his big eyes until his death. Such a person would die if he was negligent.

According to Zhang Gui's instructions, the soldiers of the Xiang army dug out more than 9,000 taels of silver in the backyard and used two cars to pull it, attracting many people to watch and applaud. They can be said to have been captured by the people.

Xie Linjiang was overjoyed after seeing it, and said, "Now, Zhang Gui is in hand, and the witness is here. I see how these people quibble."

Li Xingzhou shook his head: "At that time, they will definitely bite Zhang Gui in reverse." Because this is the era of man-rule, and everyone's words make money. If all the twenty-three officials bite Zhang Gui in reverse, then it would be hard to explain.

But that's fine, since that's the case, he's at least a prince!

......

The Black Leopard, with his subordinates, had an old blackhead and his own brothers, stood on the top of the mountain with a dozen people. They were wearing three layers of sheepskin clothes to keep warm, which was different from the leather armor of the court. The wool was not removed and could keep warm, but it had little protection against swords, not to mention the strong bows and crossbows of the court, so they were never stupid enough to conflict with the officers and soldiers, except for the Jade-faced Fox people.

This place is in the middle of the west side of Taihang Mountain. It only snowed last night. There was still a thin layer of snow on the ground. The top of the mountain was very cold, and the breath that everyone exhaled quickly turned into white water vapor.

"Boss, what medicine does this jade-faced fox asks us to come and sell?" the old blackhead said in confusion.

Several people found a stone to sit down. The black leopard rubbed his hands and said, "You know, you won't be able to calm down if you don't come. The jade-faced fox is famous for being bold."

"I'm afraid they will do anything." Someone whispered.

The Black Leopard didn't pursue it, and he was unhappy, but even the Jade-faced Fox dared to provoke the Yang family army, so he would not be afraid of their group. Since they were circulating messages with kindness, they would not be afraid of seeing each other. Anyway, the people he led were all heroes in the village, and they were not afraid of what would happen to the opposite side.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums came from the foot of the mountain. Everyone quickly got up and looked down. Seeing that the foot of the mountain was bustling, more than a dozen people were wearing flower clothes and big red flowers in front of them. Eight people in the middle were carrying a large sedan chair and walking up the mountain with the sound of gongs and drums.

Everyone was stunned, "What is this?"

After waiting for almost two quarters of an hour, the eight-carrying sedan chair finally reached the top of the mountain. Ten men were wearing leather armor and red cloth flowers, following the sedan chair in front and behind. The Black Leopard was on guard and touched Huailai's knife handle just in case.

After more than ten steps, the sedan chair fell on the snowy surface. A young woman stopped with the sedan chair. The curtain was not opened. She stepped forward and said in a straight voice: "Several heroes have been waiting for a long time. Our master has rules. We don't ride in sedan chairs with less than eight people. She doesn't eat sheep over four years old and don't drink water at the foot of the mountain, so we walk slowly."

The black leopard was stunned: "Your master is a jade-faced fox?" He pointed to the sedan chair.

"yes."

"If you don't know, you think you are an empress." The black leopard disdained and everyone burst into laughter.
