Zhao Yu is not pedantic, as long as it is an effective method, whether it is to instigate Lu Yang to resist the Ruyang Marquis Mansion together, or deliberately design to frame that Wang Zhi, he will do it, but even he didn't expect that just when he was about to attack Wang Zhi, that Wang Zhi was actually arrested in the prison cell of the county government because of a conflict with the people of Luyang County.

This was unexpected.

Looking at the regretful look on Zhao Yu's face, Zhang Ji said indifferently: "When there is a street fight, even if you add disturbance to the people, at most it will be a few days to lock down Nawang Zhi, but it's a big deal to wait for a few days after Nawang Zhi is released, let's teach him a lesson according to the original plan." ”

Hearing this, Jing Nu covered her mouth and tried to hold back her smile, and Ma Cheng even teased: "You are too evil, Zhang Ji, can't you let people take a breath." ”

"Hmph, that guy just owes a lesson." Zhang Ji snorted lightly and turned his head to look at Zhao Yu.

Facing Zhang Ji's inquiry, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Yes, but it's not necessary." As I said before, this Zhang Ji is just a small person, at best he is just a pawn of the Marquis of Ruyang, although teaching him a lesson can relieve us a little, but there is no need to spend too much energy on him. ”

Indeed, this time Zhao Yu planned to teach Wang Zhi a lesson, and his main purpose was to see the reaction of the Luyang people and see if Lu Yang was on the side of the Hou Mansion of his hometown, after all, the support of the Lu Yang people and the Lu Ye Freemasonry was the biggest guarantee for his Lu Yang Hou Mansion to resist the Hou Mansion of Ruyang at present; Otherwise, some of his plans would not have been carried out without one or the other.

Although he couldn't do it himself this time, it was the spontaneous action of the locals in Luyang, but the effect still came out, and under the spread of Cao An from the end of last year, the impression of Luyang people on Rushui County, especially the Ruyang Hou Mansion, has fallen to a low point.

Now that he has learned the results, Zhao Yu naturally doesn't need to spend too much energy on that Wang Zhi, in contrast, he cares more about Wang Shangde's attitude.

He said to everyone: "After this incident, whether it is Wang Zhi or the Marquis of Ruyang, no matter how stupid they are, they will guess that behind this incident is our Township Marquis Mansion is fueling the troubles and deliberately hindering their trade with Wancheng Military City...... I'll wait and see how General Wang reacts. ”

Everyone nodded suddenly, and then Zhang Ji asked, "Then how many days ......?"

"Staring at that Wang Zhi, I took Jingnu to walk around the street. …… By the way, Zhang Ji, go back and say hello to Lieutenant Ding, and tell him, it will be almost three days for Wang Zhiguan, and I will use this Wang Zhi to test Wancheng's reaction. ”

"Yes."

Under the happy and shy look of Jingnu, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng hugged their fists in response.

At the same time, Wang Zhi had been captured by Ding Wu, the lieutenant of Luyang County, and taken to the county dungeon.

I saw him walking back and forth in the dark and damp dungeon with a gloomy face, and several of the attendants and guards who were locked in the same prison did not dare to speak to the steward at this time, for fear of touching the mold.

As Zhang Ji said, fighting in the streets and disturbing the people is not a serious crime, even if ordinary people are locked up for a few days, it is not worth Liu Wei and Liu County's order to open a government trial, Wang Zhi estimated that he would be released in three or four days at most.

In other words, being imprisoned in itself is not a big deal, what really makes Wang Zhi feel concerned is Lu Yang's attitude, Liu Wei's attitude, and Ding Wu's attitude.

Half a day later, some of the attendants and guards who stayed in the post house learned that Wang Zhi was imprisoned in the county, and hurriedly came to offer condolences.

During this period, someone said to Wang Zhi: "Steward Wang, do you want to inform the prince of this matter?" ”

Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "This kind of trivial matter is not worth bothering the world...... Moreover, judging by Ding Wu's attitude, I am afraid that Liu Wei, the county commander of Luyang, also has a prejudice against my Ruyang Hou Mansion, even if the prince comes forward, then Liu Wei may not be able to open up. ”

"The king is in charge of you......"

"It's okay, it's just a small crime to make trouble on the street, even if someone deliberately targets me, at best, they will lock me up for a few days, and can they kill me? You wait at the inn first, and then you will do your business after I get out. …… By the way, you have been waiting in the city to inquire in the past few days, who instigated the people of Luyang to resist my Ruyang Hou Mansion, you are all smart, don't report that you are from Ruyang. ”

"Yes."

In this way, Wang Zhi and his entourage ate prison food for three days in this dark and damp dungeon.

For Xiang Wang Zhi and others, I am afraid that it is something that even pigs and dogs don't eat, but in order to satisfy his stomach, Wang Zhi can only pinch his nose and force himself to eat a little at each meal.

After three days, waiting for the ninth day of the second lunar month, Ding Wu, the lieutenant of Luyang County, came to the dungeon with several county guards.

This movement woke up Wang Zhi, who was lying on the hay in the prison and pretending to sleep.

"Open."

Following Ding Wu's instructions, the jailer opened the door of the cell, and immediately, Ding Wu walked in, and said to Wang Zhi and the others, "Let's go." …… If you dare to make trouble in my Luyang next time, it will be more than just three days. ”

Wang Zhi stood up with a gloomy face, and before he walked out of the prison door, he turned to Ding Wu and said, "Today's things will be rewarded in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Na Ding Wu's eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Wang Zhi's clothes with his right hand, and directly picked up the latter with brute force and turned it one hundred and eighty degrees, and threw Wang Zhi to the wooden fence on one side with a bang.

Before Wang Zhi could react, he saw that Ding Wu took a few steps forward, and slapped his right hand heavily on a wooden fence next to Wang Zhi's head, and then he leaned his face close to Wang Zhi, glared at him and asked with a fierce expression, "Are you threatening me?" Yes? It's not a small amount of courage, you can try it again. ”

On the side, several retinues and guards of the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang in the same prison saw it and wanted to step forward to stop it, but they didn't dare.

Also, after all, Ding Wuna has a public office, and at this time, there are several county officials with spears staring at them, even if there are no these people, they don't dare to really be disrespectful to this county lieutenant.

Wang Zhi was also suppressed by Ding Wu, he didn't expect that he was just saying a cruel word before leaving, but Ding Wu treated him like this.

Looking at Ding Wu's fierce eyes, Wang Zhi was stunned in his heart, and subconsciously shifted his gaze.

"Bag!"

Ding Wu spat disdainfully to the side, and then counterattacked with his right hand and gently patted Wang Zhi's chest a few times, warning: "Be careful when you speak." ”

With that, he moved out of the way.

Glancing at Ding Wu in fear, this time Wang Zhi didn't dare to say anything cruel, and hurriedly left the dungeon with people.

Ding Wu and his party followed them out of the dungeon and followed them all the way to the street, watching Wang Zhi and his party walk away.

At this time, Ma Cheng emerged from the alley opposite.

Noticing Ma Cheng on the opposite side, Ding Wu glanced left and right, and then walked to Ma Cheng's side and said, "According to the meaning of the second son, Ding has released the king directly." ”

"Thank you, County Lieutenant." Ma Cheng thanked him.

Ding Wu waved his hand casually, and said with a smile: "Thank you, you don't need to thank you, please tell the second son, look at the contribution of the townsman to my Luyang in the past, Liu Gong, Xu Xiancheng and Ding, then acquiesced to the second son to use the momentum of Luyang to resist the Ruyang Hou Mansion, Liu Gong and the second son are friendly, and there are some things that are inconvenient to say, so simply let me be this wicked person...... Please don't treat Lu Yang as a sacrifice to deal with the Marquis of Ruyang. ”

Ma Cheng clasped his fists and said: "Lieutenant Ding, rest assured, the second son is just borrowing the momentum of Luyang, and will not really involve Luyang in the battle with the Marquis of Ruyang, and the battle with the Marquis of Ruyang, the second son has other arrangements." ”

Ding Wu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lu Ye Gongji, right?" …… Okay, I've got to go beforehand. ”

Ma Cheng hugged his fists again and thanked him.

At the same time, Wang Yuan went straight back to the post house.

When he returned to the post house, he immediately summoned the entourage and guards who had been inquiring in the city for the past few days, and asked, "Have you ever heard of anyone who has released rumors that have damaged the reputation of my Ruyang Marquis Mansion in the past few days?" ”

"I heard." One of the guards nodded and said, "It is said that it was done by the Marquis of Luyang Township." ”

"I knew it!"

Wang Zhi slapped the table with hatred when he heard this, gritted his teeth and scolded: "This Zhao Jing father and son have the courage to openly oppose our Hou Mansion......

After scolding a few words, he pondered: "Keep this account in mind first." Let's go to Wancheng first to meet General Wang, and then return to you one day...... When he returned, he told the prince about it, and then he would clean up the Zhao father and son. ”

As he spoke, he instructed again: "Without further ado, call the messengers in the post house to come over, and we will leave for Wancheng immediately after dinner." ”

At this time, Wang Zhi didn't dare to stay in Luyang anymore, but he didn't notice that when he mentioned the county guards in the post house, the guards and entourage on the side looked a little strange.

After a while, the old messenger in the post house came to Wang Zhi and asked very unceremoniously, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Cook some wine and stew some meat." Wang Zhi commanded casually.

Unexpectedly, the old messenger said without hesitation: "The wine is gone, the meat is gone, and there are only some bread left, do you want it?" ”

"You ......"

Wang Zhi looked up at the other party angrily, but saw that the other party looked indifferent, and that look made him think of the people in the Yang Ji Inn a few days ago.

"What are you looking at?" The old messenger said indifferently: "If it weren't for the fact that this post house is an official family and has no right to drive people out, I would have driven out your group of people a long time ago." …… There is only bread left, love or not. ”

“…… Want! ”

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and said.

"Humph! …… Wait. The old messenger snorted coldly and walked to the inn, and after a moment came a basin made of bamboo silk with hot cakes.

I saw him swing the basin heavily on the table, and said unceremoniously: "Hurry up and eat, and get out after eating." ”

Holding the resentment in his heart, Wang Zhi picked up a piece of bread and put it in his mouth to chew, and a little gloom flashed in his eyes.
