Chapter 424: Repaying evil with kindness?
Zhang Chengze coldly watched Zhang Guilian suddenly kneel down in front of him at Du Guan's instigation. He did not stop her, nor did he say anything. However, the sadness in his eyes was hard to conceal.
He was not sad for himself, nor for Zhang Guilian. He was sad for his father and for all his father's efforts for Zhang Guilian over the years.
His second aunt might not know that the father and son of the Du family had stolen the Mountain God Order, and she didn't know what the theft of the Mountain God Order meant to his father.
Once the Mountain God Order is refined by the Du family father and son or by someone else, his father will not even have the chance to reincarnate, let alone continue to be the mountain god of Lion Ridge.
Soul fly away!
first time.
Zhang Guilian might not know, but after being reminded, it is impossible for her not to know about this. Yet, Zhang Guilian pleaded for Du Guan again and again, even kneeling down in front of him.
You should know that when the Du family father and son stole the Mountain God Order and fled from their home, they did not take Zhang Guilian with them.
They didn't care at all about how their family or even the entire Zhangjia Village would deal with Zhang Guilian because the Mountain God's Order was stolen. Even beating her to death was possible.
Everyone in the Zhangjia Village knew what benefits his father would bring to the entire Zhang family once he became the mountain god of Lion Ridge.
How could he not be angry when the father and son of the Du family stole the Mountain God's Order?
And I'm afraid that there is no one in the entire Zhangjia Village who doesn't know who the Du family father and son are.
If the father and son were allowed to become the gods of the Lion Ridge Mountain, the entire Zhangjia Village might not have a good life.
Even if their family wanted to protect Zhang Guilian and prevent her from being the target of the anger of the angry people in Zhangjia Village, it would be almost difficult.
at this time.
Zhang Guilian actually begged for mercy for Du Guan!
"Second aunt, please don't say anything. I know what you want to say..."
Zhang Chengze tried hard to hold back his words. Seeing Zhang Guilian open her mouth, he was about to interrupt her. Before he could finish his words, he heard Zhang Guilian say:
"Chengze, no matter what, he is your second uncle..."
"I told you to stop talking, didn't you hear me?"
Zhang Chengze's face was ferocious, and he looked like a tiger waiting to devour its prey. He glared at Zhang Guilian, scaring her so much that she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and cursed:
"Second Aunt, you are really my Second Aunt. Your man does such beastly things, and you still have the nerve to beg me?
You have to know that he didn't harm me, but your elder brother, your biological elder brother, the one who raised you. If you do this, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Zhang Guilian lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhang Chengze smiled self-deprecatingly because he did not see any regret on Zhang Guilian's face or in her eyes.
Obviously.
She did not regret what the father and son of the Du family had done. Even if she asked Magistrate Wei to let these two people, who were worse than pigs and dogs, Zhang Guilian would probably not thank him.
Perhaps under the instigation of the Du father and son, they would have deep resentment towards him and even their entire family.
'waste! ’
Seeing that Zhang Guilian was so frightened by Zhang Chengze that she didn't even dare to speak, Du Guan couldn't help but curse inwardly. He was extremely anxious. If he continued to drag it on, he would be dead. He hurriedly shouted:
"Chengze, Chengze, I know, and my second uncle knows that he has done something terrible. I don't expect you and your family to forgive him.
But if Second Uncle really knows he is wrong, just give him a chance. Don't worry, he will definitely let you see his change!"
"Do you know you're wrong?" Zhang Chengze's face was full of sarcasm. It wasn't the first time he had dealt with Du Guan. How could he not know who Du Guan was?
then.
He relied on their family to get rich, but later turned against them. Now he is only saying these words under the threat of death. Once the threat of death is gone, I'm afraid this bastard and even their entire family will turn against them again.
"Yeah!"
Du Guan nodded his head frantically and said, "Second Uncle knows he was wrong. Even if you don't forgive him, you have to give him a chance to change!"
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to change!"
As soon as Zhang Chengze finished speaking, he saw Du Guan's face full of ecstasy that was difficult to conceal. He cursed inwardly, but smiled brightly and requested:
"Wei County Magistrate, no matter what, although they did something worse than pigs and dogs, their family is still our relatives after all..."
Wei Yuan interrupted, "Zhang the Hunter—No, Brother Zhang, since you've spoken, I'll spare them this time!"
Given his personality, let alone Zhang Chengze, even Zhang Deben would have to pay a corresponding price if they wanted to ask him to do something.
Zhang Chengze?
I don't even have the qualifications to speak in front of him, let alone ask him to do something.
But now, he knew clearly that the Zhang family had a deep connection with a mysterious man, a mysterious man who could torture and kill Tang Anzhi, so he had to give Zhang Chengze face.
He was not giving face to Zhang Chengze, he was giving face to the mysterious man.
He is not Tang Anzhi, who has a lot of skills and a life-saving treasure - a substitute scarecrow. Once the mysterious man attacks him, he won't know how he died. Zhang Chengze can't even ask him to do something, even if he orders him to do something, as long as Zhang Chengze is willing to say a few good words for him in front of the mysterious man.
He is a hundred percent willing!
It's not that he hasn't seen powerful masters before, but it's rare for him to see someone like the mysterious man who completely ignored his status as an official of the imperial court and didn't worry about the court's retaliation.
Each of them is someone he can't afford to offend.
"Thank you, thank you, Chengze, thank you for your kindness, second uncle!"
Du Guan suppressed his excitement, his face full of joy after surviving a disaster, and said ecstatically: "Chengze, just wait and see, Second Uncle will let you see how Second Uncle has changed, and I promise not to let you and your family down!"
Zhang Chengze smiled but said nothing. He knew that Du Guan would definitely change, but not because he saved Du Guan's life, but because he could take advantage of their Zhang family, just like when Du Guan's family had not yet become rich. Although he had not grown up and understood things at that time, he had heard people in the village mention them.
Know what Du Guan is!
Wei Yuan saw Zhang Chengze's dislike for the Du family and said impatiently, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, why don't you hand over the Mountain God Order?"
"Mountain God Order?"
Du Guan's face changed. He was about to explain that his Mountain God Token was stolen by someone. Suddenly, he noticed Tang Anzhi sitting cross-legged in the distance. He couldn't wait to say, "Sir, my Mountain God Token was stolen by that person!"
"Humph!"
Wei Yuan snorted coldly, and suddenly realized that Tang Anzhi was attacked by a mysterious man who broke into the ghost wall to snatch the Mountain God Order. When he was about to get up and leave, he wanted the Mountain God Order back from Tang Anzhi.
Zhang Chengze spoke again: "My Lord, County Magistrate, I have one more thing to ask of you!"
"Brother Zhang, just because of our friendship, let alone one thing, even if it's a hundred things, I will agree to it!"
Wei Yuan said with a smile.
