"grown ups"
One mile away from the palace, in front of the main entrance.
Zhang Er also stopped the carriage, folded his fists and lowered his head, looking at the sedan chair.
Going any further, the carriage cannot enter.
In the car, Zhang Feng glanced around and saw many ministers' carriages parked on this street near the palace.
Now in the next morning.
The ministers also chatted in twos and threes, or walked alone, then came out of the palace together and got into their respective carriages.
"You go back first." Zhang Feng came out of the sedan chair, took out three ingots of gold ingots from his pocket, and handed them to Zhang Er, who was terrified but dared not refuse to accept them.
"I won't go back to eat at noon. You take this money and go to have a good meal with the master. If the money is not enough, let the restaurant keep the account first, or trouble the shopkeeper of the restaurant to ask someone to pay the money in the cabinet. "
"I..." Zhang Er pondered a few times, and finally answered.
Because he followed Mr. Zhang for a long time, knowing that Mr. Zhang said what he said.
Let them eat well, that is, let them eat well, and saving money will not work.
"Go." Zhang Feng walked towards the palace.
"Yes! Your Excellency!" Zhang Er stood on the spot, bowed and bowed respectfully to see him off, with more gratitude than loyalty in his heart.
Including the period of time following Zhang Feng, he also understood why there is a famous saying through the ages that "a scholar dies for his confidant".
And with entering the palace.
Zhang Feng walked straight towards the prime minister's courtyard.
When you come here, the guard will report.
Zhang Feng also entered this courtyard, which was regarded as the prime minister's work place and also as a temporary residence.
There are many such courtyards in the palace.
Most of them are arranged for the ministers in the three cabinets to facilitate their rest.
In order to avoid having to rush home every time the office is too late.
Also waiting to enter the wing room in the courtyard.
Zhang Feng looked at the prime minister who had just served the tea, thinking that the monks would come to find him later, and without any unnecessary nonsense, he cupped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, I need the imperial examination in ten days."
"I went to the cabinet yesterday, and I have already heard from Mr. Lin." The prime minister motioned Zhang Feng to sit down, "Is Zhang Feng going to ask for a quota for An Xiucai?"
Zhang Feng looked calm, "Yes."
"Yeah." The prime minister smiled and shook his head, "That's fine."
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Zhang Feng also saluted the Prime Minister with a smile, and chatted about praying for rain in Hualiu City.
Until half an hour later.
Ten miles outside the courtyard, in front of the gate of the imperial palace, there was a sound of footsteps, and it was the four monks who came.
Hearing this, Zhang Feng thought for a while, but said nothing.
The prime minister picked up the teacup with his eyes closed, took a sip, and sensed them, "Jianzong, Wuzong, and two other elders of the holy sect."
"It is estimated that these people came here for my business." Zhang Feng sipped his tea without any worries, "I speculate that they may ask the prime minister to hand me over."
"Haha" the prime minister suddenly laughed, and then tapped the table with his finger, "Master Zhang, wait here for a moment."
The prime minister said, and slowly stood up, "They are the envoys of the Four Great Sacred Sects after all. It will take some time for you and me to deduce. Why don't you let me meet them first, and send them away if I can. Now is the time when the stakes are high and nothing can go wrong.”
"The Prime Minister is far-sighted." Zhang Feng put down his teacup and cupped his fists, feeling that what the Prime Minister said was right.
The matter is important, and the more careful the better, the better.
I just stayed in the house, so I don't have to wait until the enemy meets, and I will be extremely jealous.
Also wait for a cup of tea to be drunk.
After the prime minister heard the announcement from the guards outside that the four elders had arrived outside the courtyard, he also nodded to Zhang Feng and walked out of the house.
Wait until you get outside.
The door is gently closed.
The prime minister waited for ten breaths, and saw the guards leading the four elders into the courtyard.
"Lord Prime Minister, long time no see! Hahaha~" Elder Wei clasped fists together, very politely.
Although they had a lot of disdain and contempt for the prime minister in the small town chat before.
It's really face to face, facing a great monk of Dongxu.
That was to give them some guts, and they didn't dare to really show it.
"Why are the elders here?" The prime minister smiled as usual, looking approachable, but he showed the majesty of the prime minister, quite like an elder facing a junior.
It was also he who chatted with Zhang Feng in the house, saying that he was approachable and made big things small.
But after all, he is the face of the imperial court, and he will not learn to grovel and humble himself.
Even the current imperial court is not the opponent of the Four Great Sacred Sects.
Similarly, there are four elders who know about this matter.
For a while, they looked at each other, relying on the backing behind them, they didn't speak other foreign words, but directly pointed out the meaning of the matter,
"Cabinet Zhang Feng killed my decent monk some time ago. His method was cruel and unspeakable. He was suspected of being a member of the devil's way. He has been wanted by my four holy sects."
When Elder Wei said this, he looked at the Prime Minister, "Master Prime Minister, call someone to the palace. The four of us will take him away today and bring him back to the sect for interrogation."
"The imperial examination is approaching, and Daliang Kingdom is preparing for the grand event every four years." The prime minister answered irrelevantly, "The cabinet members are also sorting out the internal affairs, they are busy with work, and have no time to meet fellow Taoists."
"Prime Minister, what does this mean?" Elder Wei raised his tone slightly, "Do you want to harbor the most wanted criminals wanted by the Four Sacred Sects?"
"Elder Wei, pay attention to your words." The prime minister's tone was calm, and he asked back as if telling the truth: "Master Zhang is the governor of the south, a cabinet official, and an imperial examination examiner. It is also a bright light for thousands of students, how could it be the murderer that Elder Wei said?"
"Good rhetoric." Elder Wei laughed angrily, "Nonsense."
"Elder Wei!" Elder Wu Zong interrupted Elder Wei's words at this time, looked at the Prime Minister again, and said bluntly: "My Zong Wu Master promised that as long as the imperial court surrenders Zhang Feng, he will keep Daliang peaceful for a year, and all evil will not invade. Prime Minister But don’t realize yourself that as a guilty person, you have ruined tens of thousands of people in the Great Liang Kingdom.”
"What you said is right." The prime minister immediately cooled down when he heard Elder Wu Zong's threat, "Then I hope you can come back. Afterwards, the old man will personally investigate this matter and give an explanation to the suzerains."
"If you don't return?" Elder Wei didn't move, "Could it be that your court is going to be an enemy of my Four Sacred Sects because of a member of a cult?"
"Prime Minister, please think twice." The three elders of Wu Zong also clasped their fists together, putting pressure on the prime minister.
But at this moment, the door of the 'pata' room opened.
Bursts of sharp sword energy swept across, cutting the void around the four of them.
Zhang Feng appeared in front of them, "Since several fellow Taoists say that I am a member of the Demonic Way, you can give it a try. See if I, Zhang Feng, dare to kill you."
The prime minister closed his eyes slightly, as if by default.
At the same time, a vast wave of aura emanated from his body, stopping the aura within a radius of [-] meters, and nailing Elder Wei and others in place.
If there is a big disagreement, we will meet each other with swords.
Immediately, it was a matter of life and death, and the prime minister who was in the realm of the void also acquiesced.
After Elder Wei and the others saw this scene, they stopped insisting. Instead, their expressions changed, and they apologized again and again: "Master Prime Minister misunderstood, Mr. Zhang misunderstood."
The words fall.
Seeing that Zhang Feng and the prime minister were indifferent, the elder Wei and the other four also looked at each other, preparing to retreat, and then make a long-term plan after returning.
It's also because they didn't expect that the prime minister would fight against their four sects for Zhang Feng's sake?
After that, it is not something they can decide.
It's just that Wu Zong and the elders of the other two holy sects left without any hesitation and no one stopped them.
But when Elder Wei also retreated slowly.
But Zhang Feng moved and appeared in front of Elder Wei,
"Farewell to Hualiu City, I won't see you for a few days."
Zhang Feng looked at Elder Wei, "Fellow Daoist, please stop."

2 Chapter Fifty
When Elder Wei heard that Zhang Feng knew about him, he immediately paused, panicking in his heart, and was thinking about various countermeasures.
"Let's go, let's go..." Wu Zong and the other two elders walked faster when they saw Elder Wei being stopped by Zhang Feng, and then looked at the silent prime minister. Elder means.
Unless they want to die, try to see if a strong man dare to keep them together.
The prime minister watched them leave, and did not look at Elder Wei who was standing still.
Zhang Feng glanced over with his spiritual sense, and when he noticed that they had left the palace, he glanced at Elder Wei, and then pointed to the doorway behind him,
"Elder Wei, come in and sit down?"
Zhang Feng's words didn't show the previous murderous look, but it was like an invitation from an old friend, showing the politeness of meeting.
"I..." Elder Wei came back to his senses, looked at the simple house, but seemed to be looking at the mouth of a terrifying monster, and didn't want to go in at all.
It's just that people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
He thought about it for a while, and looked at Zhang Feng with a smile on his face. When he didn't feel any friendliness at all, just to be on the safe side, he still bit the bullet and said, "Okay... Excuse Mr. Zhang... Excuse the prime minister..."
After the words fell, he walked slowly towards the house.
But I already regretted it extremely in my heart, why did I ask for credit some time ago?
Why didn't the other elders in the sect take over this matter?To catch Zhang Feng, the main criminal?
If he had another choice, he wouldn't take out the treasures he had treasured over the years and give them to the other seven elders in the sect in exchange for this opportunity to make meritorious service in the sect.
Zhang Feng didn't care what he was thinking, instead he looked at the prime minister, and said via voice transmission: "This trip by Zhang Feng, coercing several elders, didn't destroy the plan of the prime minister and the Holy Majesty, right?" '
As Zhang Feng said, he felt that maybe it was because he was a cabinet official, or because he was praying for rain for the people, or because he made up the scrolls, that the prime minister was good to him.
It was like that just now, and seeing that he was about to become enmity with the Four Great Sacred Sects, the Prime Minister ignored all plans and stood on his side.
That's reasonable, I have to ask more or less to see if the prime minister has any opinions.
He treats those who help him and those who give him face, and he is very polite and gives face.
If the prime minister feels something is wrong, he will not ruin the relationship between friends because of this mere monk.
Moti's own incident mission is still in the court.
This must give the court face.
"It's so good..." The Prime Minister's tone didn't show any anger at all, but he was calm and calm as everything was planned. He had already figured out that Mr. Zhang, who has a bright personality, would act like this.
"Master Zhang showed the majesty of the imperial court, the coercion of the southern governor, as it should be. '
The prime minister walked into the room with a smile on his face while transmitting the voice, the same smile he had when he saw the four elders before.
For a while, Elder Wei in the room relaxed a lot.
Zhang Feng thought about it for a while, and after roughly guessing the general plan of the prime minister, he also walked towards the house.
Wait until you get inside.
Zhang Feng was still sitting on the seat before, and said to Elder Wei who was standing inside the room: "Elder Wei, I have you as a guest today because I want to ask you something."
Zhang Feng sat upright, "Five days ago, did you go to Hualiu City and drive a big demon to destroy my praying for rain?"
"My lord! My lord Zhang!" Elder Wei hurriedly clapped his hands together, instead of grabbing Zhang Feng in a high-spirited manner, he retorted like a prisoner in a dungeon, begging for mercy in every possible way,
"My lord... Where did you come from... How did I destroy Master Zhang's prayer for rain? Besides, my Sword Sect is a famous family, how could I collude with monsters..."
"Yes, Jianzong is a holy sect, of course it won't be like this." Zhang Feng nodded, "But I, Zhang Feng, have acted openly and aboveboard all my life. What evidence do you have for saying that I killed the monks of your sect?"
"I heard from the monks of Huaihe City..." Chief Wei said honestly, "When Mr. Zhang went to Wanlin Gate... there were some monks outside the mountain gate of Wanlin Gate...they saw it with their own eyes..."
"So that's how it is." Zhang Feng was stunned, and affirmed: "Presumably Elder Wei and the four suzerains were deceived by the slander of these villains. If I guessed correctly, these people are evil monsters, trying to frame me and destroy me. The relationship between the imperial court and the sects."
As Zhang Feng said, he looked at Elder Wei who was in a daze, and his tone was slightly aggravated, "Elder Wei, do you think so?"
"This..." In order to protect himself, Elder Wei finally responded, "What Master Zhang said is true!"
