"This is the king's mercy." Guo Zhangzai replied, "However, according to the facts of the case, Cui Duping entered the house with a knife at night, so he injured the landlord, and should have been sentenced to the crime of abandoning the city. ”

After a little hesitation, Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "This landlord surnamed Zhang is very hateful, he was originally renamed the land, and he is so fierce to seize the tenants!" The Cui family has such a filial daughter, which is really commendable. Let's take it lightly! ”

Guo Zhang said with a smile: "Slaves can only be judged according to the law, but the king is benevolent and virtuous, and he can be gracious." Xiao Zhi sighed when he heard this: "That's it, the next special purpose: to be punished on the spot for three days - the old one is over seventy years old, the younger one is only eight years old, and the punishment of one person and two lives is certainly beyond reproach in the law, but it is too reasonable!" After saying this, there was no sound again.

After a while, Xie Lan listened to Xue Bilong say slowly: "They were flooded there and flooded all over in the autumn, although this Zhang family owner is reasonable, he is indeed rich and unkind." ”

"Tell the household department to go and give relief." Xiao Zhi yawned sleepily, "Let's see if you can exempt the food there?" ”

"Back to the king," this was Xiao Yan's voice, "The case file that my subordinates have transcribed tonight, and there are already seven provinces that have been exempted from money and grain, and it is a medium-sized province. ”

Xiao Zhi didn't squeak when he heard it, it seemed that he was very conflicted in his heart, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I'm not selling fame and reputation, I can't wait for a few warehouses of grain to fall from the sky!" But seeing that the spring famine is coming, the people must have something to satisfy their hunger, and if they have food, they will have the law, otherwise, there will be even greater chaos - the people cannot be offended! ”

Because in the dead of night, these conversations between monarchs and ministers were clearly heard by Xie Lan and others, who were on duty outside the palace, and Xie Lan's heart couldn't help but feel hot. A fierce gust of cold wind blew on his face, blowing him shivering, Fang wanted to enter the east chamber to get a few cloaks for the brothers to put on, at first glance saw a figure on the roof of the west corridor flashed, "poof" fell to the ground, prostrate on the snow motionless, Xie Lan sweat hair stood on end, shouted:

"Take it! A bold thief, he dared to enter the palace to assassinate! ”

The guards were suddenly startled, and with a "brush" sound, they all drew their swords. Luo He jumped to the courtyard with an arrow step, ready to fight, Rong Xuan and the other hidden guards jumped up the steps to seal the temple door, and shouted: "Don't panic, there are minions and other escorts!" The dozen or so guards guarding the door of the weeping flower had already slammed the door shut, and entered with their blades, protecting the palace tightly, staring closely at the assassin who was lying on the ground and not moving.

Xiao Zhijun and his ministers were discussing lively, and when they heard that there was a change outside the hall, they jumped up in surprise. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the first time that such a thing had happened in the depths of the palace, and Xiao Zhi was also shocked and uncertain, and his heart was beating suddenly. After a while, hearing that there was no movement outside, he slowly paced towards the outside of the hall, Sima Ni and Xue Bilong hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, Guo Zhang and Sima Wei, and Xiao Yan hurriedly took a step forward to hide in front of Xiao Zhi.

The person who came down from the house kept lying still, and at this time, he saw Xiao Zhi come out, knelt on the snow and kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted: "King Qi! As soon as the assassin raised his head, Wu Haoze was shocked, it turned out to be an acquaintance! Xiao Zhi exclaimed in surprise: "Shang Zhan Ge, you are here to assassinate me!" When everyone heard this, they were even more stunned, wondering how Xiao Zhi could have known this assassin.

Xie Lan was shocked, and only then did he recognize the warrior who was playing chess in Xu Qiguang's mansion. The walls of the palace are high and the courtyard is deep, the guards are like forests, and it is snowing, he can actually sneak here! Shang Zhan Ge's face was pale, he stalked for a long time, "wow" and cried loudly, took out the sharp blade in his arms, the darts in his sleeve, the velvet rope, and the grappling hook and threw them on the ground, and said: "Shang Zhan Ge is a seven-foot man in vain, with eyes but no beads, he doesn't know the Holy Monarch, he mistakenly threw himself into the nest of the owl, served the thief, and no longer has the face to live in the world!" As he spoke, he leaned back and lowered his sword, "Today I am willing to kill myself in front of the car to warn the latecomers!" ”

"Slow!" Xiao Zhi shouted and stepped forward quickly, in fact, he was narrowing the distance between him and Shang Zhan Ge - others may be sincere when they come to this play, but this Shang Zhan Ge is a traverser, and Bai Chenyi's henchman, there must be other things, thinking of this, Xiao Zhi said affectionately, "I still have words, if you don't kill yourself with a sword after listening to it, you will be a martyr for thousands of years, but what is the benefit of Yu Jin's great cause?" - Xiaobai does not remember the hatred of shooting hooks, and he became the head of the five tyrants; Yingbu was once a minister of the enemy country, and once he returned to Gaozu, he became famous through the ages; Liu Xiu's twenty-eight generals are mostly bandits, and the image of Lingyan Yuntai will be admired by future generations! ”

These allusions, Xiao Zhi memorized them very well, spoke them clearly and concisely, the sentences were shocking, and the words were loud, even a well-educated person like Xue Bilong secretly praised: This is like the king of Yidi, in a hurry, the words are so sharp!

"Although I am not as good as the ancient sage, how can I not know these truths? - Rise up the strong men, rise up the strong men! - If there is a hairy hair of Mr. Mover, cut it! Xiao Zhi said, and pulled up the business war song, "The strong man must have a difficult situation to make this decision, it is better for you and me to talk secretly before making plans." ”

Without waiting for others to interject, Xiao Zhi hurriedly roared, "Wu Haoze personally came to guard, no one is allowed to approach, you should also retreat today." ”

Everyone didn't know why, but seeing that there was an undoubted taste in Xiao Zhen's words, and Wu Haoze personally guarded him, they were also relieved and kowtowed one after another.

"You're really messing around, what if it's really exposed." When only Xiao Zhi was left in the empty palace, Wu Haoze and Shang Zhange, Xiao Zhi finally couldn't help but start to lose his temper.

"I'm here to talk to you about cooperation, after my observation these days, I think Bai Chenyi is right, with you, the chances of winning in Qi are greater than those of the Three Dynasties." Shang Zhan Ge swept away the tragic appearance of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, and said seriously, "I also told Bai Chenyi about the situation here, and he also agreed that I would be the internal response and join forces with Qi State." ”

"Oh? Leave aside the more powerful Houhan and join forces with us? Wu Haoze asked in a cold voice, his words full of distrust.

"The strength of our stars is not bad, not to mention that the chances of winning two fights and one are greater." Shang Zhan Ge said with a smile, "Even we don't want to be called around all the time, like a pug." That's what Bai Chenyi said. ”

"What about the conditions?" Xiao Zhi slowly calmed down and thought about the pros and cons, "What are the conditions to help us?" ”

"First, after the matter is completed, we will divide Xu Jie's and Huang Jingzhong's territory equally, and second, Bai Chenxuan is still in Qi State, let him go back with us."

"The first one is okay, the second one, you can figure it out yourself." Xiao Shu shrugged, "It's because he doesn't want to go back, I can't help it." ”

"When his brother comes, there will naturally be a way," Shang Zhan Ge smiled, "Then the agreement will be reached!" ”

"As far as the vicious battle between the Qi State and the Three Dynasties is concerned, it is okay." Xiao Zhi replied, "In the future, I can't say for sure." ”

"As Bai Chenyi said, he is indeed thoughtful."

"So, what are you here for today? You can't just say that. ”
