Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year are just around the corner, and both the Gu Lu and Zhang are busy for the upcoming festival. Chinese New Year's Eve and Zhengdan are not festivals in the general sense, in addition to sacrifices, they also involve exchanges with the rest of the families, so when Zhang Feng heard that the assassin Shi Yuan Sheng invited him to speak, he couldn't help frowning.

"Ming, I still have to preside over the sacrifice at home, is it difficult for Yuan Yuanjun not to know?"

Although these words were a little disrespectful, how dare the people below point it out, they could only remind with a bitter face: "Lang Jun, today rì Yuan Yuanjun set up a banquet in the Assassin History Department to entertain Du Shiyu and Pei Yushi, and a subordinate official of the Assassin History Department and officials from Wu County were invited, maybe it was during the banquet that he suddenly remembered something to discuss with Lang Jun......

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Feng interrupted coldly: "What's the matter, it's not that you want to make peace with the mud, Jiangzuo Yuan's family is going back more and more Twenty years ago, when another Yuan envoy was the assassin of Suzhou, he not only valued the family, but also paid more attention to the merits of the ancestors, but he didn't know how high the merits of the ancestors were, if the descendants were useless, it was also the fall of the court and no one knew, for the sake of him being the assassin of Suzhou, I would go."

Although his own Langjun said such a bunch of unpleasant words, since he promised to go, the servant was relieved, where would he say something that he didn't have, and hurriedly agreed to go outside to prepare.

At this moment, it is time for curfew, in addition to the night patrol of the Wuhou in the fang, there are other soldiers on the street outside, ordinary people are not allowed to go to the street at night if they do not have urgent matters such as life, old age, sickness and death at home, but for the wealthy families, this prohibition is actually a dead letter. When Zhang Feng went out with three or five servants, Wu Hou saw the big red lantern of the Zhang family and gave way far away, and hurriedly ordered his companions to open the door.

Therefore, when everyone came to the door of the Assassin's History Office, only half an hour had passed since the invitation came. The traces of the previous assassination have now been completely covered, and the lobby of the Assassination History Department where the previous sheng song and man dance has also ended, and it is quiet inside and out. Although Zhang Feng was an arrogant person, when the servants who stayed behind followed the guide to meet Yuan Sheng, he noticed that the atmosphere seemed to be a little delicate. Although it was late at night, after a drinking feast, there was always a little celebratory atmosphere in the Assassin's History Department, but now it was a little strangely quiet. In particular, the servant who led the way stopped from time to time to look at his gaze, which made him feel a little bit of jǐng.

Therefore, when he stepped into Yuan Sheng's study with his head held high, he saw Du Shiyi sitting next to him, and after he bowed, he asked mercilessly: "Yuan Yuanjun invited me today, but to persuade me to change my mind?" The Zhang family of Wujun did not start overnight, if the order changed overnight, wouldn't it become a laughing stock for others? Forgive me for not being obedient."

Before Yuan Sheng could speak, Zhang Feng robbed him of this pass, and he was furious. Between the surname Qiao and the surname Wu, it was originally that you looked down on me, and I looked down on you, not to mention that Zhang Qiqiu was the secretary of the military department in the court, but the senior officials of the Yuan family may not be inferior to him. Therefore, he sank his face and reprimanded: "Zhang Jiulang can't help but take it for granted that your Zhang family doesn't want to grow tea, that's your Zhang family's housework, I won't care, and Du Shiyu won't even think about persuasion, the entire Wu County is hundreds of miles away, but there is not only one Zhang family I summoned you today, because after the banquet of the Assassin's History Department in the evening, Du Shiyu and Lu Shilang, the son of Lu Dudu, Yazhou, met the assassin. ”

Zhang Feng was angry and annoyed for a while because of Yuan Sheng's merciless words, and when he heard Zuihou's words, he was even more angry at first, and when he was about to grab Bai, he suddenly realized the deep meaning. If it weren't for the assassin who was caught and confided something, even if Yuan Sheng was the assassin of Suzhou, how could he summon him in a hurry and night?

"Yuan Yuanjun is doubting me?"

Seeing that Zhang Feng's face was calm, Du Shiyi owed a debt and motioned to Yuan Sheng to hand over the questioning to himself, and then took over the conversation and said, "Zhang Langjun, please be calm and don't be impatient." Tonight's banquet was originally enjoyed by the guests and hosts, so even the officials and miscellaneous guards of the Assassin History Department drank too much, so I came out to meet the assassins, and not many people knew. After narrowly escaping, both assassins have been caught, and according to their confessions, they were paid off by the Zhang family, but I don't believe it. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Zhang clan of Wujun has always been talented and famous, how could he do such an unrighteous act because of a momentary whim? ”

Zhang Feng's arrogance comes from the family background, but also from his own Ming Jing and the first, the three terms of office expire, and the evaluation is all above the middle level of self-confidence, but also from the division of the scholar family and the poor family. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, there has been a habit of tasting tea among the Jiangnan scholars, although it is only porridge, but more from the camellia and wild treasures, but now it has to come from the fields, advocating the popularity for ordinary people, which is equivalent to the popularization of elegant customs in disguise. At this moment, Du Shiyi had a lot of respect for the Zhang clan in his words, and directly denied that the assassin was from the Zhang clan's envoy, and he finally felt a little embarrassed.

"Du Shiyu said so, why did he invite me here?"

"The two assassins today are extremely accurate in archery, but they are slightly inferior in skill in comparison, and they are by no means ordinary. Wu Di characters, no one should know better than Zhang Langjun, and I want to know more, what kind of enemies does the Zhang family have that would make such a confusing move? ”

"I see."

Zhang Feng frowned, and had to admit that Du Shiyi's thinking was probably right. The assassin insisted that it was the Zhang envoy who did it, or Du Shiyi's enemy deliberately disturbed the vision, or it was Zhang's enemy. And as Du Shiyi said, people with extremely accurate archery skills ...... At that moment, his face changed, although it had been covered up in an instant, he clearly saw that Du Shiyi had been staring at him closely, I was afraid that he would not miss the mistake he had just made, and he couldn't help but secretly regret his gaffe.

"Zhang Langjun seems to have gained something, how, how do you remember?" Seeing that Zhang Feng was silent for a moment and did not open his mouth, Du Shiyi stood up and walked directly in front of the arrogant Zhang son, "Zhang Langjun, although I ordered that this matter be silenced, you must know that there were several people in the Thorn History Department that I saw at that time, and there were many people, even if Yuan Yuanjun issued a ban again, it would be difficult to maintain it for long." Could it be that Zhang Langjun hopes that word of mouth will spread that it is the Zhang family of Wujun who killed the imperial envoys because they refused to grow tea? ”

"This"

was choked in his throat and heart by Du Shiyi's sentence after sentence, and Zhang Feng couldn't help but become more and more annoyed. However, he also understands that even if his father has a deep foundation, has been an official in the court for many years, and is now in a high position, it is inevitable that political enemies will find the truth when such a thing is exposed.

Therefore, even if he was reluctant to raise his family feud, he still had to whisper: "Although the Zhang family offends people, there is no feud, and there is no sense of proportion, so it should not be so endless." However, two or three months ago, the children of the Zhonghao clan moved to Suzhou, and there was a dispute with the tenants of the Zhang family because of the land dispute, and there was a big fight. Later, I heard that the man was so frightened that he could barely get up, but it was because my brother was arguing with him. But the mount was frightened by his own whipping, so I ordered the men to pay for the soup and medicine. ”

This is simply a typical example of a strong dragon not suppressing the head snake

Du Shiyi sighed secretly, while Yuan Sheng said thoughtfully, "You mean, these two assassins were sent by that person?" Is there any evidence? ”

"It's just a guess, where is the evidence" Boss Zhang Feng snorted unhappily, and then said angrily, "It's still when he was fighting for land before, he showed off his Guan Longshi clan, there are high-ranking officials from generation to generation, and even my aunt is a nobleman in the palace, ridiculing me that the Zhang family lives in a corner, I don't know how big the two capitals are, and even shows off that his own tribe is good, and he can wear Yang in a hundred steps." ”

The more Du Shiyi listened to this, the more he muttered in his heart, because he couldn't help but think of a character who he had almost forgotten. Soon, Yuan Sheng said the surname instead of Zhang Feng.

"But that Hedong Liu Clan's son?"

The surnames of Guanzhong County, Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang, and Du, are said to be up and down, and they are still competing with each other. Moreover, the surname of Guanzhong County occupies the most important part of the high-ranking officials and eunuchs in the court, and there are many prominent figures in every family. In contrast, among the four surnames of Wuzhong, the Zhu family has gradually declined, and even if the other three clans worship the prime minister, there are also high-ranking officials in the court, and it is difficult to match them after all. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Feng remembered the other party's aggressive momentum at that time, and remembered that he almost carried the black pot tonight, he said angrily: "That's right, it's Liu Ximing, the son of Liu Qiwu."

Although he said the name, Zhang Feng thought about it for a while, and finally added: "However, because of this resentment, he sent someone to assassinate, so the Liu family shouldn't be so stupid, right?" ”

It turned out that this guy hadn't learned enough lessons, no wonder he just felt that this method was really familiar, stupid enough to kill two birds with one stone every time, and didn't look at his own tricks

Du Shiyi finally couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he said to Zhang Feng, who frowned a little inexplicably: "Zhang Jiulang should know where this Liu Langjun lives, right?" Can you take me on a tour? Speaking of which, they are all from the Guan Sergeant clan, and since I know that he is in Suzhou, I should also go and see him. ”

"This ...... Du Shiyu wants to go, and I will lead the way. ”

Perhaps because Du Shiyi easily believed his words, Zhang Feng's perception of him unconsciously reversed a little, and he secretly thought that this Jingzhao Du Jiulang was not an unreasonable person. However, Yuan Sheng was a little surprised that Du Shiyi gently let go of the Zhang family, and when Zhang Feng promised not to make a noise, and agreed to come over after worshipping his ancestors in the morning, and said goodbye and left, he couldn't help but ask: "Du Langjun really believes this?" ”

"I'd rather believe it than believe it, and Zhang Jiulang's arrogance will certainly make people uncomfortable, but I always feel that he shouldn't be such an extreme person. But tonight, I plan to disturb Yuan Yuanjun for a night, I will send someone back to inform Pei Yushi, and Ming will go with Zhang Jiulang to meet that Liu Gongzi for a while. ”

Yuan Sheng naturally promised: "Okay, but there are no two hours left this night, but I was negligent for a while, and you almost suffered a catastrophe, and you have to run outside on Chinese New Year's Eve"

"Where, it was someone else who was mad, how could he blame Yuan Yuanjun?" Du Shiyi leaned over and sat down, and then said meaningfully, "When you say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, this bad luck will naturally disappear."
