Following.

Li Zhi walked back and forth in the hall of Xunfu, with an anxious look on his face.

"Why haven't you come yet? Brother Wen Ruo, didn't something go wrong? ”

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he kept walking around, turning Guo Jia on the side a little dizzy.

"Brother doesn't need to be anxious, Brother Wen Ruo is resourceful and cautious in his actions, there will definitely be no mistakes, brother is careful."

Guo Jia can be regarded as discovering one of Li Zhi's weaknesses at this time, that is, he is always cranky.

Xi Zhicai, who was on the side, also comforted him.

"What Brother Feng Xiaoxian said is very true, Brother Xingzhi is indeed a little worried, Brother Wen Ruo is thoughtful and cautious, and he will definitely succeed immediately, and Brother Xingzhi waits patiently."

Just when Li Zhi was anxious, and the other two comforted him, Xun Yu slowly walked in from outside.

"Brother Wen Ruo has succeeded?"

Li Zhi saw Xun Yu walk in, grabbed his sleeve, and asked eagerly.

Xun Yu smiled loudly and didn't answer his question, but said something else.

"Today, there was a sudden fire in the imperial study, and the contents were burned to the ground, and the spare edict was turned into ashes.

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Brother Wen Ruo is really resourceful, quickly take out the edict and let me see it."

"The virtuous brother is smart."

Xun Yu laughed first, then took out four or five edicts from his sleeve and handed them to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi unfolded the edict and looked at it, except for the necessary words at the beginning, the back was blank, and the jade seal was also stamped at the end.

These edicts, as long as they are filled in, can be used as true oracles.

"Good, good......!"

He saw these bursts of applause.

"I know that Brother Wen Ruo will definitely succeed when he goes out, and sure enough, this kind of important thing can be done lightly by Brother Wen Ruo, and I admire it below!"

Hearing him say this, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia on the side looked at each other, and then looked at him with contempt at the same time.

I don't know who was walking around the hall just now, like he was about to go crazy, if it weren't for me and the other two of you to persuade me, I'm afraid you would have gone to the room now, and you still believe in Brother Wen Ruo? Bah! Shameless!

Li Zhi also saw the disdainful eyes of the two at this time, and he was slightly embarrassed in his heart, and coughed dryly.

"I will go to Zhang Yang's place now, and ask Zhang Rang to send a letter to Cao Jie, saying that he will wait for him outside the city in Xia five days later, make amends to him, and want to give him the secret method of winemaking, and see if he can take the bait.

Brother Wen Ruo wrote the edict at home, and when the time came, it would be of great use, and it would be written on it...... So ...... so."

After Li Zhi instructed Xun Yu, he hurriedly walked out.

Zhang Rang Mansion.

After Li Zhi came to Zhang Rang's Mansion, he heard from Zhang's subordinates that Zhang Rang was in the palace and did not return to the palace, so he sat down at Zhang Rang's banquet and waited for Zhang Rang.

About an hour later.

"Oops......! Let the three peerless sons wait for a long time, it's our family's no, our family has apologized first. ”

After Zhang Rang walked in, he saw Li Zhi drinking tea alone there, so he pretended to apologize.

"Zhang Gong doesn't need to be polite, he came down suddenly, and he didn't inform Zhang Gong, but he didn't go down."

Wait until the two of them have finished saluting each other and sat down.

"The three peerless sons came to our house today, but what is the important matter?"

"Today I came down to ask for something."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Rang squinted his eyes.

"I don't know what? If our family can do it, our family will definitely not refuse. ”

Li Zhi pointed in the direction of the palace, looked at the servants around him and did not speak.

Zhang Rang saw him like this, but his face changed, and he said to the servants around him: "You wait and retreat!" ”

"Whoa!"

The servants answered, and slowly retreated, and after the servants retreated, he looked at Li Zhi with a solemn face.

"Childe has something to say now."

Li Zhi first accompanies the sin.

"Forgive me, Gong Zhang, this matter is very important, so you can't be careless."

Li Zhi paused here and sorted out his language.

"The killing of Cao Jie's old thief started today!"

When Zhang Rang heard this, he stood up suddenly, and asked with a somewhat complicated expression: "Why are you in such a hurry?" It's only been a few days since you acted? ”

Li Zhizheng looked at Zhang Rang.

"The matter of punishing the thief should be sooner rather than later, it should be urgent rather than delayed, and if it is too late, I am afraid that it will be a reproducible incident.

Today, I came down to ask Zhang Gong to hand over this letter to the old thief Cao Jie.

And he said to him: Five days later, in a place one mile east of the city, wait for Cao Gong, and teach Cao Gong the method of winemaking, as a reparation for his sins. ”

After speaking, Li Zhi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Rang, which was written by Li Zhituo Xunyu.

When Xun Yu was writing, he gritted his teeth, eager to set his study on order, and after writing countless times, Xun Yu even drunk himself with spirits, and under the drunkenness, he barely finished writing the letter.

After writing the letter, Xun Yu didn't eat for a day the next day, not because he was angry, but because he was disgusted by the kind of flattery dictated by Li Zhi.

After writing the letter, Xun Yu and the three of them, who knew the content of the letter, looked at Li Zhi with the wrong eyes.

They all feel that fortunately Li Zhi is on his side, if Li Zhi enters the palace as an internal servant, it must be another Cao Jie, who is too good at sycophancy.

Zhang Rang took the letter, looked at the handwriting on it in a daze, and was a little silent, it was not without feelings between him and Cao Jie.

When he first became a eunuch, it was Cao Jie who took him, and it was because of Cao Jie that he was able to survive tenaciously in the chaotic environment of the palace.

If it weren't for Cao Jie blocking his way, he really didn't want to fight to the death with Cao Jie, he wanted to give Cao Jie a comfortable old age.

It's a pity that Cao Jie is too obsessed with power, and he stubbornly grasps the position of the head of the ten permanent attendants, so that he has to find a way to kick away this stumbling block.

"Hoo ......"

Zhang Rang's complicated face let out a long breath and looked at Li Zhi.

"Our family understands what to do, but when the Three Absolute Sons act, our family hopes that the Three Absolute Sons can leave him a whole corpse."

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang's expression was a little melancholy.

"Cao Jie Lao ...... Cao Jie also had a favor to our family, and our family really couldn't bear to see him buried without even a whole corpse, and I hope that the three peerless sons will agree. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhiyan looked at Zhang Rang thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he asked tentatively.

"If you don't agree to this, will Zhang Gong still send a letter?"

Zhang Rang was stunned when he heard this, looked at the letter in his hand blankly, and after a long time, he looked at Li Zhi with his fists clenched and said firmly: "That's it!"

Let's just assume that our family has never said this, then the three absolute sons will divide their bodies or chop them into meat paste, they will all be up to the son, and our family will not ask more about this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang sat down in his seat as if he was deflated.

Seeing him say this, Li Zhi was quite conflicted in his heart, originally he thought that Zhang Rang would take care of some of his previous kindness, if Li Zhi did not allow it, he would categorically refuse the matter.

Now it seems that Zhang Rang is between power and kindness, but it is the right to choose, and the siren in Li Zhi's heart sounded.

Such a person who can give up everything for the sake of power is very terrifying, and it strengthens a certain idea in his heart.

"In this way, this matter will be handed over to Zhang Gong, and I will go back and prepare now, and say goodbye!"

"The Three Absolute Sons go slowly, come here, send the Three Absolute Sons for our family!"

Zhang Rang didn't seem to have eased up yet, and didn't send Li Zhi out in person, but just ordered a servant to send him out.

Looking at Li Zhi's departing back, Zhang Rang's eyes were full of complexity, and then his eyes turned to the direction of the palace and muttered to himself.

"Cao Gong, ......! Don't complain about our family's heart, the biggest pursuit of eunuchs such as me is not only money, but isn't this position.

Now that this position is occupied by you, we don't even have the slightest chance, it was you who forced our family to act like this! ”

Zhang Rang said this, repeating a sentence over and over again, as if he was looking for psychological comfort.

In the end, he overturned the several cases in front of him and shouted loudly.

"You forced it! It's not that we want to do this! You forced it! You forced ......!! ”

Finally, he sat down on the ground in a state of dejection, stunned.
