In the side hall of the large house in the front yard of King Su's mansion, King Su's staff member Zhao Run's Jie Ziyu sat opposite Zhang Qigong, a staff member of King Yong's Hongyu, and talked about the rumor of "King Su competing for the throne" intentionally or unintentionally.

"The so-called rumors, three people become tigers, all mouths are gold, although there is no need to move the public, but also should not be despised and ......neglected," Zhang Qigong hinted.

Faced with Zhang Qigong's hints, Jie Zi Yu did not have the slightest intention of being tricked, and said with a cautious face: "What Brother Zhang said is very true, Jie Zi is taught. ”

As a result, after this sentence was finished, Zhang Qigong waited for a long time and did not see any follow-up.

He couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but pretend to ask unintentionally: "But I don't know about this, what is the attitude of His Royal Highness King Su?" ”

Jie Ziyu smiled indifferently: "My Royal Highness? Haha, just a laugh. ”

"Laughing? What kind of attitude is that?'

Zhang Qigong was secretly angry, he held back his anger and asked, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Su worried about the rumors getting worse?" ”

Jie Ziyu replied with a smile: "The body is right, and the body is evil." The king of Guansu is usually a man, he is thick and not thin, and he is not in his glory, he is really a gentleman, how can he be afraid of nonsense rumors? ”

"What the hell is that?!"

Seeing that Jie Zilu talked about a bunch of things that he didn't have, but he didn't get to the point, Zhang Qigong was inevitably a little anxious.

The temptations between the literati are naturally not as straightforward as those of the martial arts, and the so-called verbal swords and swords are probably used to describe the confrontation between the literati.

He thought that his cultivation was still quite good, but when he encountered a meson owl who did not enter the oil and salt, he couldn't help but be a little anxious at the moment.

It's no wonder, after all, Jie Ziyi's reply every time seems to have something to say, but in fact there is no useful information at all, but Zhang Qigong can't find a thorn.

This made Zhang Qigong really feel a little aggrieved.

"Why don't you try a direct move?"

Glancing at the old god who was there, Zhang Qigong hesitated for a moment and asked: "Having said that, I have been indifferent to all kinds of rumors in the Su Wangfu in the past few days, I am afraid that it will cause misunderstanding......

"What misunderstanding?" Jie Zilu asked deliberately.

Zhang Qigong knew that Jie Zilu was asking knowingly, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Naturally, I misunderstood that His Royal Highness King Su had the heart to push the boat along the river." ”

As he expected, hearing this, Jie Ziyu suddenly frowned, and said unhappily: "Please Brother Zhang be cautious!" …… Brother Zhang is a staff member of His Royal Highness King Yong, how can everyone follow the crowd and listen to slander? ”

Even if Zhang Qigong knew that Jie Zilu deliberately took the opportunity to attack and extinguish his momentum, he had to apologize at this time: "The virtuous brother is angry, and the foolish brother is also worried that His Royal Highness King Su will be harmed by rumors, so he reminded him that there is no malice." ”

Seeing that Zhang Qigong was soft, Jie Zilu did not bite it tightly, and after nodding, he asked rhetorically: "Then according to Brother Zhang's opinion, what should be done about this matter?" ”

This rhetorical question made Zhang Qigong speechless.

Whether it is Yongwang Hongyu or Zhang Qigong, he naturally hopes that King Su Zhao Run will come forward to clarify in time, and it is best to make a heavy oath or something, but can he say this directly?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qigong said cautiously: "I don't dare to make a decision for His Royal Highness King Su, but the foolish brother thinks that the virtuous brother should still suggest that His Royal Highness King Su come forward to clarify one or two ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Jie Ziyu frown and shake his head and say, "Doesn't that show that my Royal Highness is weak-hearted?" Inappropriate, inappropriate. ”

『……』

Zhang Qigong's hands began to tremble, and his tone was inevitably a little colder: "What does Brother Xian mean, ignoring those rumors?" ”

Hearing Zhang Qigong's tone, Jie Ziyu guessed that this person had been aroused by him, so he said with a smile: "Of course not." In the case of rumors, it is better to "cut off the flow" than to "cut off the source", rather than stirring up the people, it is better to wait and see what happens, find out the source of the rumors, and find out the perpetrators. ”

Zhang Qigong was slightly stunned when he heard this.

It is undeniable that what Jie Ziyu said does have some truth, but after thinking about it, Zhang Qigong feels that something is wrong: the rumors in Daliang City have already spread to the point that everyone knows about it, what is the source of the rumors?

Could it be that the person who unleashes the rumor would be so stupid as to shout in the street that he confesses himself?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qigong frowned and said: "But this rumor has been spread by everyone in Daliang City, and if you want to track it down at this time, I'm afraid it's a little late, right?" ”

"It's a matter of people." Jie Ziyu said with a smile: "As long as you peel off the cocoon, you will definitely find one or two." ”

"......" Zhang Qigong was almost angry, and asked unceremoniously: "What can you find out?" ”

Jie Ziyu didn't care about Zhang Qigong's aggressive tone, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang's auspicious words, I really found out some clues, and over time, I will be able to find the mastermind behind it." ”

"You said you found it?" What else is it said that it will take time? How long is that?'

Thinking of this, Zhang Qigong said with a little mockery: "This is unexpected, for that rumor, the criminal department has not been able to find any clues, but the virtuous brother said that he has a clue?" ”

Jie Zilu smiled and said, "That's true...... Brother Zhang doesn't believe it, forget it. ”

"I haven't said I don't believe it!"

Zhang Qigong was once again speechless by Jie Ziyu.

After a series of temptations, Zhang Qigong had more or less figured out the ability of Jie Ziyu -- he was worthy of being a scholar whose talent and knowledge were not inferior to his, and he was allowed to use all his skills to knock on the side, but he did not get any useful information, it was all some ambiguous nonsense.

But vaguely, he can be regarded as one thing that he has figured out: in the face of this Jie Zi Ou, I am afraid that he is not the master of peace, otherwise, why do he care so much about the matter of 'King Su Zhao Run came forward to clarify the rumors'?

Thinking of this, he deliberately stared at Jie Ziyu, and said meaningfully: "Brother Xian, I am a guest and a staff member, and my duty is to share worries for the lord, and we should abide by our duties and not go against the will of the lord......

Hearing this, Jie Ziyu changed color slightly, and Fang Cai's calmness no longer existed, staring at Zhang Qigong and frowning, and said, "What does Brother Zhang mean by this?" ”

Seeing the change in color, Zhang Qigong became more determined, and said with a smile: "Ah, the foolish brother just said it casually, and the virtuous brother must not care." ”

"......" Jie Ziyu looked at Zhang Qigong with a cloudy face.

Looking at Jie Ziyi's expression changing color, Zhang Qigong calmed down and lost his previous impatience.

Although he had deduced that it might be Jie Ziyu who prevented King Su Zhao Run from coming forward to clarify the rumors, he was not worried about this.

What is there to worry about about the private behavior of the staff under the door?

What he was most worried about was that King Su Zhao Run had changed his mind - this was the most troublesome thing!

Thankfully, things haven't gotten that bad.

As for why Jie Ziyu and other subordinates of Su Wang Zhao Run went against the wishes of his lord, Zhang Qigong could guess a little: whose staff didn't want the object of their allegiance to go further?

And now, it's very simple, just knock and knock this meson owl.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qigong said with a smile: "Brother Xian, with your status now, I don't know how many people are blushing for this, and Brother Fool thinks that you should cherish it...... If His Royal Highness King Su hears some rumors and is suspicious of you, Brother Xian, it will be troublesome. ”

Hearing this, Jie Ziyu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?" ”

Zhang Qigong smiled but said nothing.

Seeing this, Jie Ziyu took a deep breath and sneered: "In this case, today I have a very little affair with His Royal Highness about General Jiang Cong's appointment as the 'Shangdang Shou'!" ”

"......" Zhang Qigong frowned imperceptibly, and said calmly: "Why did the virtuous brother mention this matter?" General Jiang Cong's party guard was recommended by the Ministry of Rites......"

"Less garlic." Interrupting Zhang Qigong's words, Jie Ziyu lowered his voice and said: "It is true that this matter was recommended by King Qing to the Ministry of Rites, but as far as I know, the merit evaluation book was handed over to King Yong in advance. …… This makes me very puzzled, doesn't His Royal Highness King Yong know that he is not in agreement with King Qing? Why did you agree to this? ”

"......" Zhang Qigong was silent.

"Don't say? Hey, I'll tell you for you! Looking at Zhang Qigong, Jie Ziyu said with a smile: "King Yong's agreement to this matter is nothing more than to drag the eldest prince Zhao Hongli and the original Donggong party forces into the water in disguise...... The original Donggong Party took root in Shangdang not long ago, taking grain and wine as its business, and now the Qingwang Party has reached out to intervene in Shangdang County, and it is difficult to ensure that the strength of the original Donggong Party will not be squeezed out...... This trick is really clever! ”

"......" Zhang Qigong didn't expect to be able to hide from someone like Jie Ziyu, so even if the latter revealed the truth, he didn't care, and said with a smile: "So what? Brother Xian is a staff member of His Royal Highness King Su, not Zhao Hongli's staff, isn't he? ”

"Hehehe." Jie Zilu laughed twice, then squinted his eyes and said, "Yes, so I will say this...... King Yong tried to drag Zhao Hongli into the water, but inadvertently, His Royal Highness King Su was also involved. ”

“…… What do you mean? Zhang Qigong frowned and asked.

"Don't His Royal Highness King Yong and Brother Zhang know?" Jie Ziyu sneered and said: "The eldest prince Zhao Hongli is in the brewing workshop of Shangdang, and His Royal Highness King Su of my family has half of the profit, if it is because of the relationship between King Qing, Zhao Hongli's brewing workshop in Shangdang County has suffered a loss...... Do you guess, will His Royal Highness King Su think that King Yong is trying to drag him into the water? ”

Zhang Qigong's face changed slightly when he heard this, to be honest, he really didn't know about it.

Yongwang Hongyu didn't know either, after all, the eldest prince Zhao Hongli got the distillation technology from Zhao Hongrun, but he didn't beat the gong and drum to make everyone known.

"His Royal Highness King Yong and His Majesty don't know about this matter." Zhang Qigong said with a solemn face.

Jie Ziyu snorted lightly and said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether King Yong and Brother Zhang know or not...... Brother Zhang, do it yourself. ”

Zhang Qigong heard the sound of the meson owl, and his face became a little ugly, because he was threatened by the meson owl in turn.

In the end, the conversation between the two broke up unhappily.

However, after Zhang Qigong left, Jie Ziyu, who was still ugly, showed a little smile on his face.

Yes, it seems that he was seen through by Zhang Qigong, but in fact, it was Jie Ziyu himself who exposed it.

Because before King Su Zhao Run changed his mind, Jie Ziyu didn't want Yongwang Hongyu to have any trouble, so the best way was nothing more than to take the initiative to expose Zhang Qigong who came to test him, so that Zhang Qigong knew that he was mixing with it, so that Yongwang Hongyu would not do anything against King Su Zhao Run.

And now, Zhang Qigong not only learned that it was he Jie Zi Ou who "went against the will of King Su" and "acted arbitrarily", but because of Jie Zi Ou's threat, he did not dare to leak it, at best, he could only return the matter to King Yong's reputation.

It is undeniable that this is a complete victory for the meson owl!
