Chapter 87 Equality between men and women
In front of everyone, the little Tianshi Zhang Lingxiao, who had just been reported to have been assassinated, walked to the main courtyard square of the Tianshi Mansion with another group of people.
There were many people around him, and the little carpenter knew only one, that was Elder Bowang whom Wu Ding met when he recruited him.
This person is also the head of Qingyuntang, the law enforcement agency of Longhushan.
Seeing Zhang Lingxiao appear, a hint of surprise flashed through Zhang Xinling's eyes, and then she hid it well. She walked forward with a happy look on her face and shouted in surprise: "Brother, are you okay?"
When Zhang Lingxiao saw the tense posture in the field, he said with a smile: "Why, do you hope I have something to do?"
This sentence is very interesting. When Zhang Xinling heard it, he felt very uncomfortable. He frowned and then said, "Just just now, I heard someone coming to report the news, saying that you were assassinated halfway. Even Elder Bo Wang from Qingyun Hall could not stop him. He felt very sad - Brother, do you think that I, a girl, shouldn't be sad?"
Her sharp words made the little Tianshi a little embarrassed at the moment.
However, Zhang Lingxiao was obviously used to the girl's strength for a long time. He just smiled and did not answer the other party's heart-wrenching question. Instead, he pointed to the court and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Xinling immediately put on his hat and said, "Don't you remember what the Fifth Brother's confidants said in the Sanqing Palace?"
Zhang Lingxiao smiled and said, "You mean the iron-armored knife? Haha, of course I remember."
Zhang Xinling took the conversation and pointed at the fifth brother Zhang Xiaotian who was surrounded by everyone and was protected by only a few subordinates and Wang Baishan, saying: "They really did what they said. They immediately took action as soon as they got off the mountain. They really didn't even cover up at all. So I asked my brother to control him first. No matter what the subsequent situation is, they will never be controlled by outsiders..."
Zhang Lingxiao recognized her actions and nodded and said, "Big sister, you have to think carefully. If it were me, I might not have such a reaction ability."
Zhang Xinling told some clues he had found, and then said: "I have a lot of evidence here, showing that the fifth brother colluded with outsiders, not only was he planning to seize the position of "Zhang Tianshi", but he even wanted to integrate the entire Longhu Mountain and become his private ownership. What's more terrifying is that the sudden death of our father is very likely to be handled by him..."
"What?"
When Zhang Lingxiao heard this, his face, which was originally calm, suddenly changed and said in disbelief: "Big sister, you have to be responsible for saying this..."
Zhang Xinling pointed directly at Wang Baishan beside Zhang Xiaotian and said, "Did you see the bald man beside him? That person is called Wang Baishan. All signs show that his father's death that day was most likely done by him. The fifth brother should have known the inside story, and then immediately turned around and framed his father's death to your disobedience, and made a lot of momentum to put you at a disadvantage in public opinion..."
She talked freely, and schemingly aroused Zhang Lingxiao's hatred, trying to nail Lao Wu to death.
The little carpenter couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaotian next to him, but found that the old fifth person facing accusations was very calm, as if he was an outsider.
On the contrary, Wang Baishan, who was called "bad", looked manic.
On the other side, Zhang Lingxiao listened carefully, rarely spoke, his eyes narrowed, and didn't know what he was thinking.
After Zhang Xinling finished the general matter and said that she would provide evidence soon, Zhang Lingxiao raised his head, touched his chin with some stubble, and then asked a question that no one could have imagined: "Big sister, if I was really assassinated and Lao Wu was controlled because of this matter, and this Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion cannot be unowned for a day. It is inevitable that one person will be selected from our Zhang family - do you think, who will come to that person? It is more appropriate?"
"ah?"
Zhang Lingxiao’s question really asked Zhang Xinling.
She obviously didn't expect that at such a time, her elder brother would ask such a funny question.
The funny thing about this problem is that at least on the surface, his new Zhang Tianshi, was not seriously injured.
If so, why would he ask about the heirs?
So Zhang Xinling was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Brother, I haven't thought about this..."
Surrounded by the elders, Zhang Lingxiao had a little more indescribable momentum than before.
He also smiled and said slowly: "You haven't thought about it, but I thought about it carefully - you know that our younger brothers have either their cultivation level is too low and they don't even have the threshold, or they are introverted and eccentric and difficult to convince the public. The younger sister Shiling even promised others that they can't help. As for the cousins, there are no outstanding people. After thinking about it, it's you, the eldest sister..."
After being named, Zhang Xinling raised his head and looked very surprised.
Zhang Lingxiao ignored it and continued, "Big sister, you have shown rare roots and understanding in the world since you were young. You are even more amazing in your understanding of Taoism. My father sighed countless times, saying that it would be great if you were a man. Later, you became the disciple of Wu Ding Zhenren, the number one master of Longhu Mountain. You practiced diligently and gradually became the first person in our younger generation in Longhu Mountain... To be honest, if you were a man, the dispute between me and Lao Wu would be meaningless, because we can't compare to you..."
Zhang Xinling seemed to feel something, his face became cold, and he said slowly: "I am a woman."
Zhang Lingxiao nodded and then said, "Yes, this is your biggest obstacle. However, in today's world, the trend of equality between men and women is vast, blowing from the West to the East. Not to mention that there were female emperors like Wu Zetian in ancient times. Even in the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi was powerful. In this world with 5,000 years of drastic changes, the position of Zhang Tianshi should be based on ability, not gender. So, I think if something happened to me and Lao Wu, you should be the one who is most qualified to sit in this position..."
Zhang Xinling's face turned black and he stared at Zhang Lingxiao coldly and asked, "Brother, what does it mean when you tell me this?"
Zhang Lingxiao was a little surprised and said, "Big sister, I admire you so much, why do you feel unhappy?"
Zhang Xinling asked: "Do you think I should be happy?"
Zhang Lingxiao shrugged his shoulders, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Since he was selected and sat in that position, his whole spiritual temperament has undergone tremendous changes and he is much more calm.
Although his eyes were full of sadness and pain, he still held back and said helplessly: "I don't know if you are happy, but as a big brother who was plotted by his fellow sisters, I am very sad..."
Being plotted by fellow sisters?
A simple sentence made everyone in the venue confused, and Zhang Xinling's face changed directly, and he asked without hesitation: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Zhang Lingxiao did not answer, but clapped his hands.
From the back of the crowd, several seriously injured people were helped over. Lao Wu, who seemed very calm, couldn't help but take a step forward, and then shouted: "Iron armored knife, flat wind ruler, Azan, are you all okay?"
Those people didn't say anything, but the answer was Zhang Lingxiao.
He said to Lao Wu: "Fifth brother, don't worry, except for Mingwang being stabbed to death by an assassin, they are all fine. On the way here, I have already asked Elder Mingfeng to deal with the injury..."
When Lao Wu saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Xinling's face became even worse and worse.
After Zhang Lingxiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xinling and said, "Actually, when the news of your master's two young ladies being kidnapped back to the mountains, everyone would have paused the rest first. Lao Wu asked me for a while and thought this was strange - Gan Mo was taken to the mansion and had always been with you, and the residences of the two young ladies were top secret. Almost no one knew about the entire Longhu Mountain, and even I didn't know. But at that critical moment, Gan Mo kidnapped the two young ladies and used it as a threat... The whole thing was strange, and no matter who made a profit, there was a thorn in the heart of Zhenren Wu Ding..."
Zhang Xinling raised his head and said slowly: "So, at that time, you two joined forces?"
Zhang Lingxiao nodded and said, "Actually, no matter who is in charge of Longhu Mountain, no matter who is in charge of Longhu Mountain, it is impossible for my father to succeed, because we are not capable enough and have insufficient prestige, and cooperation is the ultimate solution. Of course, what really prompted us to sit down and talk was the person who was hiding behind the scenes and trying to control everything, which made us all curious. So the fifth brother arranged the most capable people around me to protect me, and even asked Mingwang, who had the disguise skills, to help me block the knife..."
When Zhang Xinling heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said, "So, you must be sure, is it me who hides behind the scenes and manipulates everything?"
"Isn't it?"
This time, it was no longer Zhang Lingxiao, but another man.
Wu Ding Zhenren.
He walked out of the Heavenly Master Mansion.
It is obvious that he had arrived at the Tianshi Mansion long ago, but because he went to deal with the theft of the warehouse, he did not arrive here in time.
However, he came after all.
Faced with his master's doubts, Zhang Xinling was silent for a moment and suddenly raised his head.
Some indescribable look appeared on her face, and the corners of her mouth were raised, and then she laughed: "I didn't expect that all of you would join forces to bully me, a weak woman. I don't know what you are talking about, but what I want to say is-indeed, my father talked to me two days ago when he died, that is, he was going to hand over the position of Zhang Tianshi to me..."
