After several searches, Zhang Liang and the others finally came to the county guard's mansion.

As soon as the official on duty at the gate saw the three people coming to the door, he immediately wanted to interrogate. But before the official could speak, Zhang Liang pointed at him first and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let Wang Meng come out to see me!" ”

The official was stunned when he heard this, since the county guard left, no one dared to call the chief by his name. Looking at the other party's menacing appearance, the official began to speculate about the other party's identity.

In the end, the other official couldn't help it and asked Zhang Liang, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Liang glanced at the person who asked him, and then said to him in a deep voice: "I have changed my mind and asked Wang Meng to kneel down to pick me up." Let's just say it's because you talk too much nonsense! ”

The two officers on duty were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the brother-in-law in front of them was even more horizontal than the main thing. The official who asked the question knew that he had a lot to say at this time, and hurriedly and respectfully continued: "Don't misunderstand, my lord, I want to report to you when I go in." After all, the villain's position is humble, and he always has to make it clear when he goes in to pass the word. ”

Seeing that his attitude was extremely humble, Zhang Liang changed his domineering posture just now, and pondered for a moment before replying: "You just said that Master Zhang was not full in the restaurant, let him prepare another table of banquets." ”

This time, the official didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly went inside to report. They know that they are wrong, and they will be beaten at most, but if they see that there is really a difficult master in front of them, then their lives will be hanging on the line.

Not long after the official entered, Wang Meng hurried out, and when he saw Zhang Liang, he hurriedly bowed down and bowed.

Zhang Liang saw him saluting himself, so he said in a hindrance: "Okay, don't make these useless courtesies." Take me to see your good wife and brother at once. Also, arrange three rooms for my two ladies to rest first. ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he hurriedly agreed. Then he instructed his subordinates to prepare a wing, and at the same time asked his wife to come and take care of Zhang Liang's two ladies in person. Wait until everything is arranged. He hurriedly led Zhang Liang to the prison.

Seeing that Wang Meng almost regarded the county guard mansion as his home, Zhang Liang suddenly became curious. "This county warden's mansion should be the place where the county keeper lives and works. Even if you are an agent, you have no right to live. Aren't you afraid of the county guard coming back? ”

As soon as Wang Meng heard Zhang Liang's question, he immediately replied in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the adult, how dare the little one be so bold." It's just that the county keeper explained before leaving that the small one can temporarily live in the house and take care of everything. The little ones also do what they are told. ”

"Then you moved in, what about the original county guard?" Zhang Liang then asked.

Seeing that the servant who was following him was a little distant from the two, Wang Meng took a step forward and replied in a low voice: "Lord Qiyu, the original county guard took his family and his family to go together. ”

Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and understood casually. Where did the other party lead the army to Xianyang? It's clearly a runaway. No wonder this Wang Meng would exercise the responsibility of the county guard so unscrupulously.

Zhang Liang saw that he had said it to the bone, so he simply asked directly. "Then why did the county guard run away!?"

As soon as Wang Meng heard the other party's question so direct, he didn't dare to hide it anymore. "My lord, it's just because the imperial court asked Shu to provide 150,000 soldiers within a time limit! But there has never been a war here. There were not so many garrisons at all, and they couldn't be gathered for a while, so the original county guard was afraid of the court's accountability, and after ordering all the garrisons to go to Xianyang, they fled with their families. I thought that the imperial court would send someone to hold them accountable, but to this day there is no clear order. I think it's because of the war situation in the Central Plains, so I don't have time to take care of it. I wonder if the adults are here for this purpose? ”

Zhang Liang completely understood at this time, this Wang Meng did not dare to come back because of the quasi-county guard. Then I want to wait until the court is accountable to push out all the charges. And seeing that the imperial court has no time to take care of this place, the front-line war alone is not enough for them to be busy.

The other party's wishful thinking is so loud. Even Zhang Liang is out of reach, if the imperial court has not sent people, this Wang Meng is simply the emperor of the soil.

"I have other official business here, you don't need to ask, if necessary, I will let you assist." Zhang Liang intends to avoid the real and the false. Stabilize the other person first.

After arriving in prison, Zhang Liang saw that the strong man was enjoying himself, gambling with the prison guards and having fun. And I had so much fun that I didn't notice anyone coming in at all.

When Wang Meng saw it, his face suddenly became unbearable. He just wanted to shout. was stopped by Zhang Liang. After getting close, Zhang Liang asked, "Who won?" ”

The rise of the strong man's play, and he didn't see the person who asked the question, so he smiled and said: "Of course Lao Tzu won." ”

But when he saw the person clearly, he immediately fell to his knees in fright, and couldn't even speak.

Zhang Liang just smiled slightly at this time, and then turned around and left. This action frightened Wang Meng so much that he kicked his wife and brother over, and at the same time reprimanded him loudly: "You are so bold that you dare to gamble in prison." ”

The jailer and the brawny man hurriedly packed up the gambling equipment and returned to the prison. Wang Meng didn't have time to take care of them at this time, so he chased after Zhang Liang.

After getting out of prison, Zhang Liang suddenly said to Wang Meng, "Master Wang, your prison is not inferior to the bustling and lively bazaar, I think you should simply change it to an inn." ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he hurriedly called him guilty.

Zhang Liang saw that the other party was already a little out of control, and then changed his words: "If you want to govern this place for a long time, you can't do this kind of behavior like your wife and brother again." You need to know that if the court sends a cool official, then your life ......"

Wang Meng had already heard Zhang Liang's voice, and hurriedly replied: "The little ones must pay more attention." And they must punish their wives and brothers severely. When the time came to the palace, the adults said that they were not yet happy, and the small ones had already ordered people to prepare a banquet. I hope that adults will appreciate the light. ”

Zhang Liang has a very accurate grasp of these officials, because after all, he had the experience of defrauding money and food with Shu'er, so everything is familiar.

Hearing that the other party had prepared everything, he didn't say anything more and went straight back to the mansion. After seeing Yu Xi and Qingmin, he told Wang Meng that he was a little tired and asked the other party to come back later.

Wang Meng then retreated and left, leaving only Zhang Liang and the three in the house.

"Did you find out about the outside world?" Yu Xi saw that there were no outsiders, so he hurriedly asked.

"Not yet, it's easy to arouse suspicion by asking directly, after all, we are from the Central Plains, and if we ask him about the situation in the Central Plains, he will be aware of it."

"And what did you find out?" Qing Min also asked curiously.

"The county guard here is gone, and even the army is gone. I can't describe it in words. ”

Hear Zhang Liang's news. Qingmin was speechless for a moment. After a while, he said: "No wonder the Qin Dynasty died quickly, how can this kind of official manage the place." ”

Zhang Liang didn't have time to pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the officials at this time, he was more worried about the war in the Central Plains, because it was related to the safety of his two daughters-in-law.

In the evening, Wang Meng came to invite the three again. Zhang Liang took Yu Xi and Qing Min to accept it calmly. Then they went to the hall together.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Meng suddenly ordered someone to carry in two boxes, and then said to Zhang Liang: "My lord, one of these boxes is a tax handed over to the imperial court, and the other box is a small little heart, to buy some jewelry for the two ladies." I hope you will laugh! ”

Zhang Liang glanced at it, then nodded lightly in response.

After the official carried the box away, he whispered to Wang Meng: "Lord Wang, you care so much about this official. Neither can I do you any wrong. Do you know what the situation is in the court today? ”

That's a pun on the question. Wang Meng couldn't figure out what the other party meant for a while. He hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "The lower official is dull, I hope the lord will give you advice." ”

"Have you ever received some secret reports about the war in the court or major events in the court?!"

Hearing this, Wang Meng thought that the other party was going to teach him about the current situation and how to respond, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Adult, the little one has heard about it, but I don't dare to believe it, and I hope that the adult will broadcast it on demand!" ”

Zhang Liang saw that the other party had taken the bait, so he pretended to be calm. In a deep voice, he said, "Tell me, and I will show you the way." ”

Wang Meng listened. Immediately said timidly: "My lord, I heard that the war is not good for my Great Qin. Moreover, he had just heard that His Majesty had "said that in the end, he did not dare to continue." Because he knew that as soon as this statement came out, it was a great taboo. If you don't get it, you're going to lose your head.

Zhang Liang was secretly complaining at this time, he didn't expect the news here to be so backward, which also shows that Shu Dao is indeed difficult. So much so that the delivery of the message is so laborious.

Wang Meng saw that Zhang Liang didn't speak, so he didn't dare to continue, so he had to wait quietly, for fear that he would make too many mistakes and get into trouble.

Zhang Liang decided to continue the temptation. For some reliable information.

"How much do you know about warfare?" Zhang Liang chose to avoid the emperor's problem, because the battle situation was what he cared about the most.

As soon as Wang Meng heard Zhang Liang speak again, and kept silent about the emperor, he immediately understood and stopped talking. "Lord Qiyu, the small one actually has one thing that can know the war in the Central Plains. But I'm afraid I don't know as much as adults. ”

As soon as he heard that the other party had items that could know about the war, Zhang Liang immediately became interested. "What is it? Tell me about it! ”

"In the past, he bought a peculiar roller from a merchant, which he could take to the Central Plains, and then attach the information to the bamboo tube between his legs. As soon as you let it go, you will return to the hands of the lowly position. ”

Zhang Liang didn't understand what the roller was, but according to the other party's description, it was clearly a carrier pigeon. Although Zhang Liang does not keep pigeons, he vaguely remembers that the pigeons that can transmit messages appeared only after hundreds of years.

At this time, he didn't care about getting to the bottom of it, he only hoped that the information in the other party's hands would be useful.

"And what report did you get?" Zhang Liang asked eagerly.

"I learned that General Zhang Han was defeated by the combined forces of Chu and Han in Julu!"

After hearing the news of the other party, Yu Xi and Qingmin were immediately stunned. Zhang Liang was even more puzzled, and secretly said in his heart: Zhang Han's defeat to Chu Jun Xiang Yu is a historical record. But why did it become defeated by the Chu-Han coalition army? What's the matter with yourself in Korea? What about the other rebels?

He thought of Shu'er and Lu Zhi in South Korea, and hurriedly grabbed Wang Meng's hand and asked, "Tell me the details of the Battle of the Giant Deer!" ”

Seeing the other party's anxious expression, Wang Meng also trembled, and then replied timidly: "I don't know much about my humble position, I only know that Chu Jun Xiang Yu and the Korean princess led the soldiers and horses under their command, and fought nine battles in three days. The other princes watched from the sidelines. ”

Hearing Shu'er fighting the Qin army, Zhang Liang almost sat down on the ground, but fortunately Qingmin and Yu Xi supported him.

When Yu Xi saw Zhang Liang's face pale, he hurriedly said to Wang Meng: "Lord Wang, my lord is a little overwhelmed. Can you send someone to take us back to rest? ”

Hearing Yu Xi's words, Wang Meng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the three of them back to the room with the officials.

After Wang Meng and the servants left, Yu Xi and Qingmin immediately planned to comfort Zhang Liang.

But before they could speak, Zhang Liang suddenly stood up and shouted: "Lao Tzu wants to go out of Shu!" (To be continued.) )
