In the deep night, Zhang Zhifu was sleeping soundly with a beautiful concubine in his arms. With Zhang Zhifu's obese body and heavy burden on his heart, the matter of cloud and rain has become a luxury for him a long time ago, but he still likes to buy a concubine and sleep with her in his arms.
Fatty Zhang said: The virgin body has its own fragrance, and the skin is as smooth as silk and satin. If he doesn't hold a beauty in his arms, he can't sleep. The thirteenth concubine who was most favored said that the master's body is as soft as cotton wool, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is impossible to sleep without being hugged by the master.
Suddenly, the sound of the gong in the mansion startled, and the rapid sound of the gong broke the tranquility of the night, and also awakened Zhang Duo's sweet dream. Fatty Zhang got up in a panic and shouted anxiously, "What happened?"
The little girl in the outer ear room replied tremblingly: "If you go back to the master, the slaves don't know."
Zhang Duo said angrily: "I don't know if I don't know, I don't know, so I don't know, are you dead?"
Next to her, Aunt Thirteen hurriedly lit the lamp and waited for Zhang Duo to dress. Zhang Duo was very nervous, because he had never encountered such a thing as a gong ringing in the mansion at night since he was born, but he knew very well the circumstances under which the gong sounded in the mansion. water.
In today's peaceful world, if someone gathers troops to besiege the mansion of the local magistrate in the middle of the night, it will naturally be a very important matter. Even if there is a fire, the mansion and the houses are mostly made of wood. lost heavily.
While Fatty Zhang was busy getting dressed, his son Zhang Yutong had already charged up the courtyard wall with a sword in his hand. There is also a very spacious troop path, like a city wall.
The courtyard wall was guarded by heavy soldiers all the time, Zhang Yutong rushed up to the courtyard wall holding a sword, and immediately a little headman who was in charge of night watch rushed up to greet him.
Zhang Yutong is only seventeen years old. Unlike Naifu, Zhang Yutong does not have the problem of being obese like a pig. He is very handsome with sword eyebrows and star eyes. He was born to the wife of Zhang Zhifu's wife, and also the only son of Zhang Zhifu. Zhang Yutong held onto the arrow wall and glanced out, it was dark and very quiet outside.
Zhang Yutong said in a deep voice, "Who played the gong?"
The little head said humanely: "My subordinates don't know either. Listening to the sound, the sound of the warning gong came from the front yard."
"oh?"
Zhang Yutong shouted: "Strictly guard, if anyone approaches, shoot and kill!" After saying that, he hurriedly led a few people down the palace wall, and hurried to the front yard.
At this time, the front yard was also sending someone to report the news to the back yard, with torches on both times, you could see the other party approaching from a long distance, and when you got closer, it seemed that the person was the young master, and the reporter immediately knelt down and saluted. Zhang Yutong raised his sword and shouted: "Quickly tell me, what happened in front?"
Zhuang Ding, who reported the news, hurriedly said: "Back to the young master, it was Master Tushe who led a team of horses and horses to rush through the mansion with open fire. The family in the front yard thought they were coming to attack our manor, so they blew the gong in a panic. Warning."
Zhang Yutong was taken aback, and wondered: "My second uncle? Where is he leading the troops?"
Zhang Duo managed to get dressed neatly, and asked someone to help him out of the dormitory. His dormitory was no less big than a prince's dormitory, but because of his status, he couldn't call it a dormitory blatantly. Therefore, the distance from the dormitory to the main hall was not too short, and I was already out of breath when I arrived at the main hall.
Fatty Zhang stuffed himself into the seat and shouted: "What happened, quickly find out!"
At this moment, Zhang Yutong rushed into the main hall with a few soldiers, and when he saw Zhang Duo, he said, "Father, don't worry, the warning in the front yard was a false alarm. It was my second uncle who led the troops, put on armor and bowed He rushed over from the front of the mansion with his spear ready, startling Zhuang Ding."
Fatty Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Your second uncle? It's late at night, who is the second brother going to have trouble with?"

Outside Dai Tongzhi's study, according to Master Dai's order, all the family servants stayed away ten feet away, and no one came closer. From a distance, they could only see the silhouettes of their masters Dai Tongzhi and Park Zongji standing opposite each other on the window.
In the study, Pu Zongji looked at Dai Tongzhi pleadingly, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, he...he is my son!"
Pu Zongji is a leader of Dai Tongzhi's tribe. Since Dai's tribe was recruited by the imperial court, they have obtained the official status of a hereditary Tu Tongzhi. Because the Dai's tribe is close to Tongren, over the years, although there is Zhuangzi outside the city, they no longer mainly focus on farming and hunting. Many people in the tribe have become ordinary people in the city. The Dai's tribe has also turned to shipping and business Main business.
Before Dai Chonghua became a co-prefect, Pu Zongji was a leader of Dai's subordinates. He was a ship owner and was in charge of shipping. Later, Dai Tongzhi helped him find an eighth-rank official position. Moved into Tongren City.
After hearing what Pu Zongji said, Dai Tongzhi said coldly: "Cicada is still my daughter! I only have one daughter, but you have more than one son!"
Park Zongji begged: "My lord, the poison of a tiger does not eat its children!, I...how can I..."
Dai Tongzhi put his hand on Pu Zongji's shoulder lightly. Pu Zongji trembled and looked at Dai Tongzhi with slightly bent knees.
Dai Tongzhi said word by word: "Don't forget, I am your chieftain and you are my domestic slave. If it is on the battlefield and my family and I are in danger, do you just want to protect your family or should you spare me?" Save the lives of the whole family, save me and my family?"
Park Zongji murmured: "But...but this is not a battlefield..."
Dai Tongzhi sneered, and said, "Is there any difference? The current situation is that my family is in danger, and I need you to let your son stand up and block the knife for her!"
Park Zongji's knees suddenly softened, and he knelt down at Dai Tongzhi's feet, crying bitterly: "My son has done nothing wrong, why, why did he die!"
Dai Tongzhi said coldly: "Because, I am your chieftain, and you are my slave!"
Park Zongji kowtowed and said, "My lord, please read before the villain's saddle..."
"Shut up!"
Dai Tongzhi's face was ashen, and he waved his hand suddenly, and the candle on the table flickered for a while.
Dai Tongzhi sternly said: "Listen, maybe it has nothing to do with you, maybe you are innocent, but now my daughter is in great trouble, so... don't tell me the truth! Now only your son can save her. If you are willing to save me, it is your fault! It is you who killed my daughter, and I will kill your whole family!"
Dai Tongzhi bent down slowly, and whispered in Park Zongji's ear with a devilish voice: "Either your whole family dies, or you accept the Zhuangzi I gave you, and ask your son to stand up and protect my daughter from this disaster." ! You choose!"
Park Zongji was paralyzed on the ground, his body was like chaff, and his tears were like rain!

Dai's mansion was heavily surrounded by Zhang Yi's troops. The torches above and below the mansion wall were brightly lit. If you look down from the air, you can see the fiery red light forming a rectangular circle, and in the rectangular fire circle, there is another line of fire that divides the rectangle into The two narrower strips stopped abruptly when they reached the back house.
The line of fire in the middle is two rows of warriors holding torches, spears and sabers. Dai Chonghua strode from the middle of the two rows of warriors to the front door.
Outside the front door, with a long knife on his waist, Zhang Yi stared murderously at the two big characters "Dai Fu" on the lintel, and suddenly grabbed a longbow with his hands, and took out three arrows from the quiver worn by the guards around him. Shoot at the big plaque.
The arrow shot straight at the center of the plaque, and the large plaque hanging high above the lintel shook a few times, then came down with a "boom", and fell heavily on the stone steps in front of the door. Zhang Yi sternly shouted: "Dai Chonghua, don't be a coward, come out and pay back my son's life!"
"Come out! Come out! Come out wearing a turtle!"
Zhang Yi's soldiers immediately shouted in unison, and after a while, they saw two strings of red lights rising behind the lintel, and then three ladders were erected on the lintel, and Dai Tongzhi's figure slowly appeared on the ladder in the middle , two guards on the left and right, each holding a large light and strong shield made of old rattan, protecting Dai Tongzhi.
Dai Tongzhi looked outside, and shouted in surprise and anger: "Zhang Yi! What kind of crazy are you? Why are you sleepy in my mansion in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Yi roared ferociously: "Dai, stop pretending to me, what did your precious daughter do, don't you know?"
Dai Chonghua was secretly startled, could it be that what his daughter said was not true, at that time someone else saw that she kicked Zhang Xiaotian off the tower? Dai Chonghua yelled calmly: "I know what a fart! Tonight to welcome the official Ye Tui, Dai ate a few more drinks and fell asleep when he came back. What are you talking nonsense?"
Zhang Yi pointed to Dai Chonghua and said, "I am talking nonsense? My son Xiaotian fell from the tower and died tragically on the spot when he was traveling in the mountains today! The fence on the tower is intact, so someone pushed him down! There were other people at that time Several sons present said that they saw your daughter come down from the tower with their own eyes, and was hurried away by that Pu family boy with a panicked expression. Isn't it clear at a glance who the murderer is?"
Dai Chonghua felt relieved when he heard this, but his face became more frightened and angry, and he shouted: "It's nonsense, my daughter has no grievances with your son, why did you push your son down the tower? , my daughter is still a cardamom girl, how can she be as strong and burly as your son, how could she push him down the tower?"
Zhang Yi sneered and said: "If you are caught off guard, even if you are born with supernatural powers, you can also be hurt by immature children! My son has no defense against your daughter, so what's so strange about being pushed down the tower by her? If your daughter is not The murderer, why did you leave in such a hurry and refused to stay one step longer?"
Dai Tongzhi wanted to say more, Zhang Yi suddenly drew his arrow and set his bow, and shot it with a "whoosh", and the two guards hurriedly waved their shields to block it, and the sharp arrow hit the shield with a "dumb", the momentum caused the guard to sway, Almost fell off the ladder. Zhang Yi shouted: "Stop making excuses, and call your daughter to confront her!"
