The reason why we set three days was to solve Zhang Yan's problem before City Guard Zhou Cang could react.
Although it is unclear whether Zhou Cang will continue to stand up for Zhang Yan, it can be a precaution, so neither Wu Qingling nor his father Wu Yuan wants to directly conflict with Zhou Cangqi.
However, the plan during the day failed, and Wu Qingling's chance to make amends at night was gone, because Zhou Cang took action faster than he thought, and he still had two teams of people to protect the Zhang family, and his attitude was extremely tough.
This intensity made it clear that even Zhou Cang had guessed that someone behind Zhang Yan wanted to take Zhang Yan's life, so he was declaring his protection for Zhang Yan and at the same time a warning.
In this case, Zhang Yan’s trouble would be difficult to deal with!
However, the people around him had new ideas. Seeing the confusion on Wu Qingling's face, they thought for a while before trying to say: "Sir, in fact, with Zhou Cang's intervention, this matter is beyond your scope. Three
The time limit of 3 days has actually only passed less than two days. Although your promise has been temporarily blocked, it is not overdue and failed. If you can inform the master immediately about the situation, it will also allow the master to make more preparations, which is also considered a master.
We understand the situation clearly."
If these words were said in normal times, Wu Qingling would definitely regard him as a mockery, and the person who said this would definitely lose his skin even if he died.
But the current situation has reached a dead end for Wu Qingling. As the person who suggested it said, it is beyond his ability to handle. How could Wu Qingling not be clear about these things? What he was worried about was how to explain it to his father, and
How will the Haikou that he boasted about end up? In this way, those suggestions will be very different when they fall into Wu Qingling's ears, and they may even be exactly what he wants.
"You mean you can use this to escape?"
"Young master, it is not advisable to withdraw completely. It will appear that you lack responsibility, and you will definitely not be liked by the master. It is best for the master to resist Zhou Cang's power and keep the lid on Zhang Yan tightly, so that you can continue.
Do it under the cover. This can also highlight your means and responsibility."
Wu Qingling nodded when he heard the words. He felt that what the other party said made sense. It also made his somewhat tangled mood come alive again.
From the Wu family to Wu Qingling's generation, he is the only one. In the end, whether Wu Yuan is willing or not, he will be the pillar of the Wu family in the future. So even if Wu Qingling is innocent now, he will definitely be arranged by Wu Yuan in a short time.
During his official career, Wu Qingling even felt that the reason why his father let him do what he did for a long time was actually to "train" him.
Because Wu Qingling has often heard her father say this since she can remember: The officialdom is like a battlefield, those who are kind-hearted and soft-hearted can only be slaughtered as animals, and only those who are decisive in killing can rise to the top.
Wu Qingling did not have the officialdom to train him overtly or covertly. He caused trouble and then solved it. In Wu Qingling's opinion, this was not training. Coupled with his father's acquiescence, he gradually became the "second political official" secretly rumored outside.
"Then without further ado, let's go home and explain the situation to father." After thinking about it, Wu Qingling stopped hesitating, stood up from the chair, and started walking out.
Because he wanted to roam around more freely, Wu Qingling did not live at home. Wu Yuan also acquiesced to this behavior and just sent someone to follow Wu Qingling.
After leaving the house, Wu Qingling flashed her "Night Patrol Yamen" badge and quickly turned back to her home from the back street, taking the side door of her home instead of the front door.
"Son."
"Can my father rest?"
"Not yet, the master is in the study. Does the young master have something to find?"
"Yeah." After asking clearly where I was, Wu Qingling didn't say anything more to the old housekeeper in front of her, and walked quickly towards the study.
After knocking on the door and entering, Wu Qingling's face naturally lost its arrogance and became docile, but the unruly flash in his eyes from time to time made him not look so honest.
"Father."
"Is everything going wrong?" Wu Yuan didn't even raise his head. He kept writing in his hand. A very important document had to be completed today and sent away early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, the county guard would be waiting for him after the time limit.
It's not easy to explain there.
Moreover, Wu Yuan was like a mirror in his heart. Although he did not interfere in his son's plans, these matters would involve some people in the yamen, so how could he avoid his eyes and ears? He was the first to hear all the news.
After receiving the report, it can be said that Wu Yuan knew everything about Wu Qingling's situation at this moment, as well as the situation of the person named Zhang Yan.
The housekeeper silently closed the study door and stood guard outside.
In the room, Wu Qingling lowered his head and said: "Father, Zhang Yan was lucky enough to escape the disaster. The child was about to resort to means to deal with it again. But now things have changed, and the city guard officer Zhou Cang directly sent someone to nail him.
Before and after Zhuzui Lane, they made it clear that they wanted to protect the Zhang family. Zhou Cang is not a person that a child can deal with, so he wanted to report it to his father to make a decision."
Wu Yuan paused the pen in his hand when he heard this, and smiled after a moment: "You also understand that Zhou Cang is someone you can't deal with?"
"Father, what you said is true. Zhou Cang is the number one military official in Langyuan City, and his status is the same as yours. How can he be a person that a child can handle? That's why the child does not dare to act rashly."
"Yes, he has made some progress and knows when to be cautious. Zhou Cang takes action and shows his carriage. This is to declare his protection for Zhang Yan. If anyone dares to get into trouble at this time, it will be for Zhou Cang.
Saving face will inevitably lead to a strong counterattack from Zhou Cang. Therefore, it is not a question of whether to be afraid or not, but a matter of temporarily suspending the strategy. Moreover, the simple plan of quickly solving Zhang Yan must be discarded.
Because now that Zhou Cang has intervened, things have become more complicated, and we can’t be more anxious."
"My child thinks so too. However, after Zhang Yan went to Yubei Mountain, it is indeed not so easy to handle. If he lets it go, it will be a hidden danger after all." Wu Qingling was worried that her father had underestimated Zhang Yan, so she reminded her carefully.
.
"After all, you have to solve the trouble you caused yourself. Although Zhou Cang is difficult to deal with, he is not impossible to deal with. Just take it slow for a while. There is no need to rush into a head-on confrontation with him."
"What does father mean?"
"Zhou Cang is the city guard officer. He is responsible for the city defense rather than the city's miscellaneous affairs. His father is the city administrator, but the difference between the two positions is worlds apart. It's natural for everyone to take care of their own business. If he dares to stretch his hand randomly,
Naturally, there are ways to force him to give in. When the time comes, just mix Zhang Yan’s matter into it and deal with it as well. Just make your own preparations first."
Wu Qingling nodded when he heard this. In this way, he felt confident. He also understood his father's general plan next.
After a pause, Wu Yuan raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Qing Ling, this incident is a rare lesson for you. Not everything can go according to your plans and plans, even if it is done in advance.
It is not necessarily safe to think that everything is foolproof. The most important thing is to learn to adapt to different situations and adapt to circumstances. After this incident is over, if you learn well, you can gain qualifications in the official career."
