Chapter 004 Generous Argument (1)

Arrived outside the gate of the Xu Mansion. Zhang Li stopped the carriage on the side of the road, got out of the car, lifted the curtain, and said calmly, "Third son, Lord Xu Qiao's mansion has arrived." ”

It is not a secret that Zhang Xuan and Xu Wenbin, the son of the Xu Mansion, are on good terms, and Zhang Li naturally knows it.

Seeing that his third son couldn't forget to come over and mess with Xu Wenbin at the moment, Zhang Li wanted to say in his heart that he was not angry or disappointed, but it was a lie. It's just that as a servant of the subordinates, Zhang Xuan is no longer a master, he can only slander twice in his heart, and he definitely does not dare to speak and deed.

Zhang Xuan calmed down, moved his hands and feet and jumped off the carriage.

He stared at the majestic and solemn tall mansion of the Xu Mansion not far away, and muttered for a long time before nodding to Zhang Li and said, "Zhang Li, I went to report and said that I asked to see Xu Ergongzi." ”

"Yes." Zhang Li agreed, walked over and smiled at the two guards of the Xu Mansion, "Two brothers, the third son of my family asks to see the second son of the Xu Mansion, and the two of them will say goodbye." ”

One of the family members squinted at Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xuan who was standing on the side, and saw that Zhang Xuan's brocade clothes were extraordinary, and Zhang Zhang was also dressed as a servant of a high-ranking family, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile, "I don't know which family's son, I'll wait for it to go in." ”

"Zhang Xuan, the third son of Zhangfu in the south of the city." Tension replied.

The guy nodded, turned around and went inside.

After a short time, he hurried out of the house, but his face became proud and indifferent.

He waved his hand coldly and said, "I'm sorry, my second son said that he doesn't know the third son of Zhangfu in the south of the city...... Today, my son-in-law is unwell and will not see any outsiders, so please go back. ”

Zhang Li's face changed.

Zhang Xuan stood there and had already heard the reply of the Xu Mansion family, but there was no anger on his face, just some complicated and disappointed.

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Zhang Huan violated Tianyan and committed a serious crime, the decline of the Zhang family was just around the corner, Xu Wenbin turned his face and didn't recognize people, he was also expected by Zhang Xuan.

This kind of prodigal friendship is very unreliable, and it is normal for birds and beasts to scatter when the disaster comes-this time, it is just a fluke with a fluke mentality of having dates and not hitting a rod.

The world is cold and warm regardless of the times. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, and after a while, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Tension, let's go, let's go home!" ”

……

……

Zhang's house.

The servants of Zhang's house had solemn faces and hurried back and forth.

The sudden catastrophe of Zhang's mansion is not a good thing for these subordinates. Two carriages and horses came one after another, and Zhang Jiuling's two younger brothers, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, waited for the carriage to stop, then jumped out of the car and strode towards the mansion gate.

Seeing that the Liu family and Zhang Ning were personally waiting on the inside of the mansion gate, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, who were nearly fifty years old, settled down, and stopped together to salute the Liu family, "Sister-in-law! Annoying. ”

Zhang Ning hurriedly bowed, "I've seen two uncles!" ”

The Liu family is also from the family of the official eunuch, and she is the widow of the eldest brother Zhang Jiuling, and she also has the imperial court decree on her body, so Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao do not dare to slack off.

Liu Shi also replied with a faint salute, "I'm tired of the two uncles, please come into the hall and talk." ”

Several people silently walked into the front hall of Zhang's mansion and sat down, and after Zhang Ning beckoned a few subordinates to serve tea to Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, he ordered the maid to retreat and close the hall door. Then he came back and sat down at the bottom.

Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao are both Beijing officials, but they are both civil and prose officials, and they have no substantive power. Zhang Jiuming is the courtier, and Zhang Jiugao is the general and the young eunuch, both of whom are official positions from the fourth grade.

The mansion of the two is not far from here, and although the three families live separately, they are a family. Zhang Huan was arrested and imprisoned, and the two uncles learned the news, even if Zhang Ning didn't come to invite, the two had to come to discuss countermeasures with Liu and Zhang Ning.

Tianwei is unpredictable, Zhang Huan was framed for a major crime of rebellion, even if he is not dead, he will be stripped of his skin, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be connected to the entire Zhang family. Therefore, Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao had gloomy faces, and the atmosphere in the hall was very dignified and depressing.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Jiuming sighed gloomily, "Sister-in-law, Yihe, it is impossible to become calm and rebellious, it can only be framed by a villain." A few days ago, I heard that Licheng had offended Cheng Jiwen in the imperial history, and I felt that it was inappropriate...... Sure enough, in just a few days, disaster came to the door. ”

"This Ji Wen is insidious and treacherous, but he has won the trust of Li Xiang and Shengshang, and I don't know how many people have suffered in the hands of Ji Wen in the past few years...... Hey, Licheng's nephew is still too young and vigorous......" Zhang Jiugao also sighed, turning his head to look at Zhang Ning, "Yihe, you go to Chen Xiang's mansion, what does he say?" ”

Zhang Ning's face turned a little pale, and he got up and said respectfully, "Back to my uncle's words, the little nephew didn't see Chen Xiang, and Chen Xiang didn't see ...... behind closed doors."

And so it was. When the eldest brother was in Japan, he took a lot of care of this **** Lie. But the old man doesn't miss the old love at all, the world is hot and cold, and the people are warm and cold, which makes people have nothing to say! Zhang Jiugao angrily slapped the case.

Zhang Jiuming frowned and said in a deep voice to Zhang Jiugao, "Third brother be careful!" ”

Zhang Jiugao's lips trembled, swallowed the words of indignation in the back, and silently lowered his head and was speechless.

"It's really a disaster. Today, the Holy Beings attach great importance to and are sensitive to rebellion, and will not let go of any clues—the so-called "I would rather kill by mistake than let go......"

"Don't say that he became a virtuous nephew, the imperial historian Wang Jiao was prominent when he inherited the emperor's grace, and because he was implicated in a major rebellion case, he was also killed a few days ago, and the Wang family was ......exiled all over the house."

Zhang Jiugao also nodded with a calm face, "That's right." There may be exculpatory times for other crimes, but this one ...... Whether it's true or not, the Holy One attaches great importance to ......"

"Moreover, Licheng is the person next to the prince...... This makes it easier to arouse the jealousy and suspicion of the saints......"

After all, the Liu family is a woman who does not participate in politics, and Zhang Ning is also a young man after all, and he does not see the problem as far-reaching as Zhang Jiuming and Zhang Jiugao, the two "old cadres" in the court. Although the disaster came to the door, he was far from knowing the seriousness of the problem, and when he heard the two of them say this, his heart was shocked, and his face was like dirt, and he was a little overwhelmed.

"Uncles, how is this good?" Liu Shi said in a panic, his voice trembling.

Zhang Jiuming was silent for a long time before he said softly, "Today's plan, there is only one way that is not a way. “

"Ji Wen is Li Xiang's lackey, prepare a generous gift to beg Li Xiang to be accommodating, or there may be a glimmer of life."

As soon as Zhang Jiuming's words came out, the Liu family and Zhang Ning hadn't said anything, but Zhang Jiugao blushed and retorted, "The eldest brother was framed by Li Linfu to dismiss the prime minister, can this enmity be forgotten?" Besides, although our Zhang family is not powerful, but it is a famous scholar family, how can we ask a traitor like Li Linfu to be in the company of villains? ”

Zhang Jiuming silently turned his head to look at Zhang Jiugao, and said in a deep voice, "What about the third brother's opinion?" At this moment, Li Linfu is covering the sky with one hand in the middle of the court, and Ji Wen relies on Li Linfu's power to act recklessly, and only Li Linfu can suppress Ji Wen, and only by becoming a virtuous nephew can he get a glimmer of life...... You should talk about it, don't ask Li Linfu, but who do you ask? ”

"I think a real villain like Li Linfu is much stronger than a hypocrite like **** Lie!" Zhang Jiuming smiled mockingly, "The third brother is the general and the young eunuch, and Li Linfu's son Li Xiu is your immediate boss, so we can consider taking Li Xiu's way." ”

Zhang Jiugao was speechless for a while, so he had to sigh gloomily, and his expression changed as he clutched the seat cushion.
