Chapter 533: Looking for Trouble, Looking for Loopholes (Medium)
"How can I and Lord Wang have an old age?" Zhang Hu was a little unhappy, and said coldly: "Little brother, I read that you drank a little more than two cups, and you were confused, so I won't trouble you." You can leave quickly, and don't get in the way of my interest. Otherwise, I don't guarantee that you won't suffer. β
"What if I don't leave?" Wang Mang squinted his eyes and said.
"Youβ" Zhang Hu stood up abruptly, his face furious.
The guard standing next to Zhang Hu rushed up and looked at him fiercely, "Boy, you are sincere in looking for fault, right?" Today I will depose you and let you know who you can mess with and who you can't. β
"Stop!" Zhang Hu stopped the guards who were about to beat Wang Mang in time, "Boy, today's Lao Tzu's Yaxing has all been disturbed for you." But I have a few other things to take care of today, so I won't bother you. If I run into you again next time, then I'm not welcome. β
"Let's go..."
Zhang Hu couldn't figure out where Wang Mang came from, and always felt that Wang Mang seemed to have some energy. Therefore, he was also afraid of getting into trouble, so he did not want to entangle, lest he cause a big incident.
Zhang Hu called a maid in charge and said coldly: "I came in a hurry today, and I was negligent for a while, and I didn't bring silver. After two days, I asked my brother to send someone to bring it to you. β
The maid in charge said, "Master Zhang, look at what you said." Could it be that without your silver, I would be poor here and wouldn't be able to open it? You're in a bad mood this time, it's our fault. This time, we will waive the money, and we should make amends to you. If your brother sends us the money, we won't dare to accept it, after all, it's the money in the army. β
"What's not to be afraid of this?" Zhang Hu said: "Although I am a little overbearing, I will not do this kind of debt, let alone rely on your women's accounts." β
After Zhang Hu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and really strode away, not entangled with Wang Mang and said more.
The other guests were surprised and felt very strange, but they didn't expect that Wang Mang not only didn't have anything to do, but Zhang Hu left angrily.
Wang Mang said: "Brother Zhang, stay here, and the younger brother will take the liberty to ask again, who is your brother?" Listening to your tone just now, it seems that your brother is very extraordinary. β
"My brother's name is Zhang Sheng. Boy, are you still trying to trouble me? β
"Zhang Sheng? It turned out to be him? No wonder I feel like you're familiar. Wang Mang said: "I don't want to trouble you, but I want to reason with you." Zhang Hu, don't be busy leaving, it's not too late to sit down and talk a few more words. β
"Reason with me? Hahaha, boy, I'd like to see what you can name. Zhang Hu was furious, sat down again, and looked at Wang Mang coldly.
Wang Mang pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Zhang Hu, let me ask you, how much silver does this table of dishes cost?" β
"Four-tael."
"Then do you know how much grain you can buy for four taels of silver? How long can a family eat? Wang Mang said: "If you use your personal money to be so extravagant and wasteful, I won't say anything more to you."
I've been following you since you came in. I can see that you don't come from a wealthy family, and you don't have much money. Therefore, the money you are wasting here is definitely not your personal own, but has another source. If my guess is correct, it should be the public's money, right? β
"Boy, what exactly are you trying to say?" Zhang Hu's face was not good, and anger surged.
"I want you to redeem your mistakes and recognize the seriousness of your mistakes, and there are about three rules that you have committed!"
"Looks like you're here to trouble me on purpose?" Zhang Hu said coldly: "Boy, if you want to find death, then say something clear, and I will fulfill you." β
"Hmph, it seems that you are arrogant and don't take the world in your eyes." Wang Mang shouted: "Zhang Hu, I just need you to go to the city lord to register your mistakes quickly, and then make up for your mistakes honestly according to the regulations, I won't care about you." If not, I will sue the lord of the city, and when the time comes, I will go to court, but I am afraid that you will not feel good. β
"In court? Sue to the lord of the city? Zhang Hu's guards laughed: "Boy, if you have the ability, you can sue now, and see if the city lord dares to arrest and judge." β
A few of the guests next to him couldn't look past it, afraid that Wang Mang didn't know the height of the sky, so he stepped forward and pulled Wang Mang and said in a low voice: "Little brother, don't make a mistake." This Zhang Hu is not small, his brother was born and died for Lord Wang, and his military achievements are impressive.
At present, although Zhang Hu is domineering, he has broken some rules. But he didn't make a big deal after all, so you don't have to make it so bad. I think you still confessed your mistake with him, so as not to lose your life in vain. β
"If there are mistakes that are not corrected, and there are mistakes that are not proven, how can we better govern the world? I know this matter in my heart, big brother, you can rest assured. β
Wang Mang said to Zhang Hu: "Brother Zhang, just now your guards said that the city lord would not dare to arrest you, but I don't believe it. Or let's take a gamble, if the city lord really doesn't dare to arrest you, I will slap myself and admit my mistake to you. If the city lord dares to arrest you, do you dare to do what I say and honestly make up for your mistakes? β
As soon as Zhang Hu heard this, he suddenly became angry and burst into flames.
"Good, good, boy, you've got it. Originally, I didn't want to use my brother's name to do things, but since you have to get along with me today, then I will fulfill you. I bet with you. If I lose, I will immediately go back and receive the fine, reclaim the wasteland, and build bridges and pave roads for three years. β
"Well, as the saying goes, a gentleman is hard to chase." Wang Mang said to a maid next to him: "Miss, please invite the city lord quickly, just say that someone here has sued Zhang Hu." β
The maid replied, "Childe, it's getting late at the moment, I'm afraid that the city lord won't come in person." β
"If he doesn't come, you can say that the accuser will kill him, and he will come at that time." Wang Mang said.
For this city lord, Wang Mang knew it, and he was a strategist he promoted.
"Thisβ" The maid was very embarrassed, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.
Zhang Hu sneered: "If you go, no one will embarrass you." β
"Yes, Zhang Daguan." The maid couldn't, so she had to take the order.
One of Zhang Hu's guards was afraid that something would happen, so he also retreated to find help.
After Wang Mang and Zhang Hu agreed on the bet, they each sat down, drank their own, and ignored anyone.
The other guests were also not easy to dissuade, knowing that both sides were angry, and they were afraid that they would cause trouble if they opened their mouths rashly.
As for the person in charge of Yichun Courtyard, she smiled bitterly and was helpless.
The two of them waited for about two hours, and the maid who had gone to invite the city lord before came with the city lord.
The city lord led four officials to walk in, and after asking everyone about a pass, he was very embarrassed.
For Zhang Hu, he knows the details.
He looked at Wang Mang, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, Wang Mang is disguised, and acquaintances can't see the fame.
