Chapter 12
Zhang Yi was alone and walked towards the gate of the government office. Several archers immediately flashed out of the wall of the government office, nervously pulled out the longbow, and pointed the sharp arrows outside.
"It's me! Let me in!"
Zhang Yi raised his face and shouted at the wall in anger.
"It's Zhang Tushe, it's really him! He's the only one!"
There was a riot inside the wall. After a while, a large basket with a rope tied to the wall came out of the wall. There was no door open, so it was obvious that the door must have been blocked by big stones and wooden pillars, which had been firmly sealed, and it was too troublesome to open.
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly. Once upon a time, I had to go back to Lao Zhang's house, so I had to use this method?
He walked over, stepped into the basket with his feet, squatted down, and the village on the wall immediately lifted the rope hard. Soon, Zhang Yi was lifted onto the wall and disappeared inside the wall. Far outside the wall, Ye Xiaotian watched Zhang Yi's figure disappear, turned his head and said to Junting: "Do you think Zhang Yi can convince Zhang Yutong?"
Yu Junting said: "There is no reason to say this kind of thing, so naturally there is no way to speculate. Whether it can be successful depends on what the young master of the Zhang family thinks. Unfortunately, we have limited understanding of his personality and temper. I hope he will accept our conditions."
After Yu Junting said that, she called a guard and ordered: "Go and inform Yu Tou Ren and Dai Tongzhi, and ask them to prepare the attacking equipment and the fire-induced objects! Time is tight, so we cannot wait indefinitely. Only give them twelve hours to consider, and as soon as the hour arrives, we will go in! If you still cannot attack the mansion within six hours, then razor the mansion to the ground with a torch! In any case, Tongren must be fully settled within two days!"
In the government office, Zhang Yutong took Yulong, Xiang Father and others to greet him quickly. Zhang Yi was accompanying him by Zhang Yuhan, who was already guarding the wall. The two sides met at the door of the second courtyard. Zhang Yutong said happily: "Second uncle, are you safe?"
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Second is fine, but my Zhang family is in danger!"
Zhang Yutong said hatred: "It's just a matter of fighting to the death. What's the big deal? Besides, even if the court doesn't have time to react, the great chieftains will not sit idly by and watch the internal strife of Tongren."
Zhang Yi said in a low voice: "Yu Tong, Yu Junting can naturally think of what you want, so she asked me to see you. She set a deadline for us. If they don't surrender within twelve hours, they will come in!"
Zhang Yutong's face changed and she said, "Second Uncle, let's talk slowly in the hall."
Zhang Yutong helped Zhang Yi up and left. Without permission, the others had to stay in the yard and wait. Yulong, Xiang Fu and others looked at the backs of the two of them in the direction of the hall. Both of them looked heavy and confused. Zhang Yutong helped Zhang Yi into the hall, and did not ask anyone to come in to serve tea. She immediately asked impatiently: "Second uncle, what exactly did that bitch say?"
Zhang Yi took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Twelve hours! She gives you a day to consider. Subdued, or die!"
Zhang Yutong's eyes shrank and said, "Subdue, or die?"
Zhang Yi said: "Yes. If you surrender, she promises to guarantee the life and wealth of the Zhang family, but you must hand over the position of prefect. If you refuse to open the door before this hour tomorrow, she will forcefully make an incoming!"
Zhang Yutong sneered: "The soldiers in the mansion are very good and have enough food. She will fight if she wants to?"
Zhang Yi said: "She said that if the government office cannot be trapped within six hours, she will set fire. The government office will be razed to white ground and burn us all to death. In short, within two days, the Tongren Rebellion must be settled and must not be dragged down!"
Zhang Yutong angrily yelled: "She thinks beautifully! She burns the government office with a fire, isn't she afraid of the court's punishment?"
Zhang Yi said with a sad look: "Yutong, why don't you understand? Since you killed Yongni and Agachir but failed to kill that little bitch, even the toast who had not stood on the side of the house had already had the idea of a sadness of a rabbit and a fox.
If she really burned the government office, she would push it to you, saying that you were guilty and burned yourself. Do you think the court would believe the words of your burnt corpse, or do you believe the words of many chieftains in Tongren? Even if the court knew the truth at that time, I would have to go with the flow."
Zhang Yutong sat back on the chair, stunned for a while, then jumped up again and shouted: "No, we still have hope! When my father passed away, I sent a letter to the Tian family. Someone in the Tian family must be mourning. Now there is a drastic change. Those who come to mourn must send the news back. As long as the Tian family knows the situation here, it is impossible for us to pretend to be deaf and dumb. If we wait, there will definitely be a turning point!"
Zhang Yi shook his head in despair and said, "The Tian family? The Tian family has long become an empty shell. Usually, everyone sells the face of the Tian family because he is our old master. Now everyone has broken up. To the point of death, who will pay attention to the Tian family?"
Zhang Yutong said: "Otherwise! The centipede insect will die without being stiff! Second uncle, do you really think that if the emperor cuts off the power of the Tian family, the Tian family will become an empty shell? In fact, when the Tian family was forced to give up the two states and divide them into eight prefectures under the pressure of Emperor Yongle, they were just stripped of their power on the surface and still secretly controlled the eight prefectures.
After nearly a hundred years of development, the chieftain gradually became full of wings and was out of control of the Tian family. However, so far, there are still three governments completely controlled by the Tian family. Other governments, like our Tongren, will not easily defeat the Tian family."
Zhang Yi was surprised by what Zhang Yutong said. He didn't know the news at all. Zhang Yi blurted out: "Which three governments do you think are completely obeying the Tian family?"
Zhang Yutong shook her head and said sadly: "My father once told me about this before he died, but it was only the same. My father didn't say which three palaces were, maybe he didn't know either, maybe he knew, but... he didn't have time to tell me."
The uncle and nephew fell silent. After a long time, Zhang Yi said: "It is more dangerous if we don't know who it is, because we don't know who can form an alliance and who should guard against it. But...what if the Tian family still did not appear within twelve hours?"
Zhang Yutong slowly raised her head, looked out of the hall, her face was confused. No matter how great he was, he was a young man who was not as good as the one in the short term. The Zhang family had been passed down for five hundred years, but by the time he was in his hands, he was already full of holes and had endless problems. When it was time to change, even if the Yu family did not stand out, there would be the Qian family of the Zhao family. Even if Yu Junting did not attack, there would be Zhou Junting and Wu Junting. How could he do his best to make the world come true?

Liulong Mountain, Qixuan Temple. The Taoist Changfeng was complaining to Wang Ning in disappointment: "I just said, can't you cheat our money? You insisted that I get involved in the dispute between the chieftains. Now, the Zhang family is defeated and the Yu family is defeated. What about us? We ran to hug the Zhang family's thighs and donated money to help the Zhang family send troops to attack the Gdou family. As a result, a lot of money was thrown into waste, and we couldn't even hear a sound!"
"Shut up!" Wang Ning scolded him impatiently. He turned to Hong Baichuan and said, "Brother, the situation in Tongren is changing rapidly. I didn't expect that the Yu family would turn the tables miraculously. This woman is not simple!"
Hong Baichuan nodded slightly and said, "I've been mistaken. I really misjudged her. I originally wanted to use our people to rescue her. Only by letting her live can the liveliness of Tongren continue. I didn't expect that she could convince the Gdollao army and Liangyuegu to send troops."
The Taoist Changfeng was determined to cheat the money. This time he invested in the Zhang family and threw out a lot of money in vain. It was so heartbreaking. He heard the two of them say that there were some things. He was really uninterested and couldn't help but interrupt again: "What should we do now? We have offended the Yu family. Now that the Yu family is in power, we should clean up and break up quickly. The money we cheated now is enough for everyone to be free for a lifetime."
Hong Baichuan glared at him and scolded, "What a useless waste. He just wanted to get a handful of it and leave!"
The Taoist Changfeng said unconvincedly: "What are your opinions? You still want to make a few tricks to be satisfied? Don't be too greedy and spend your life in it!"
Hong Baichuan sneered: "Do you don't know the reason why those who steal the hook are killed, and those who steal the country are princes?"
Taoist Changfeng widened his eyes and said, "What does it mean?"
Hong Baichuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go to meet Yu Junting and show kindness to her!"
The man from Changfeng said, "Ah? I was standing on the side of the Zhang family just now. Now that the Yu family is in power, do you let me praise the Yu family? Are they willing to pay attention to us? Don't use a hot face to stick to someone's cold butt, okay? I, Dayuan Xuandu Lingxiao Shangqing, Guanghua, Chongshuo Sect, Miaoyifei Xuandao, Golden Pills, helping the living beings forever, Changfeng Dazhen can't afford that person!"
Wang Ning had already understood Hong Baichuan's intention and snorted coldly: "What do you know? The Yu family now needs people from all walks of life to waving flags and shouting for her. If you vote, she will only think that you are a hero who knows the times. How can you not accept it?"
The Taoist Changfeng said half-believingly: "Take it serious?"
Hong Baichuan smiled and said, "You are good at lying to others. I am good at grasping people's hearts. Haha, just go, the little witch in the Yu family will definitely welcome you! As for what to say, I don't need to teach you, right?"

When Hong Baichuan, Wang Ning and the strange trio of Taoist Changfeng sat in the courtyard behind the Taoist temple to discuss the situation in Tongren, there was a pair of young people who were both conspicuous and inconspicuous in the front view whispering about the situation in Tongren.
They are said to be eye-catching because the man is handsome and the woman is charming. The two of them stand together, they are simply a pair of unparalleled and beautiful people. Everyone can see them. They are inconspicuous because the incense of Qixuan Temple is so popular and there are many pilgrims. These men and women are just part of the many pilgrims and have no special identities.
Judging from their age and appearance, they should be a couple. After burning incense, they walked out of the hall side by side and wandered under a tall privet tree. Because their appearance was too outstanding, many people who came to the Taoist temple to burn incense were secretly looking at them.
The woman peeked at the beautiful boy, and the man peeked at the beautiful girl, but unfortunately no one recognized the beautiful boy with jade face and red lips, Tian Binfei, the young master of the Tian family. The gentle and charming girl, only the legendary Meixi, Baozhi, can only be compared with the charming beauty of the country, is Tian Miaowen, the eldest daughter of the Tian family!
