In just a moment, Zhang Xuan walked out surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, Zhang Xuan was full of smiles, and said from afar: "Welcome to the arrival of Liang Yuanjun!" ”

Due to his inner resistance to Zhang Xutuo, Liang Zhi didn't want to know everything about Zhang Xutuo, and he didn't even know Zhang Xuan, he didn't even know Zhang Xuan's military position in the court, he only knew that he was a general under Zhang Xutuo.

If it weren't for his brother-in-law being in Zhang Xuan's hands, he probably wouldn't even look at Zhang Xuan.

"General Zhang captured Feng Xiaotian, and I came for him."

"It turned out to be for this trivial matter, so let's talk about it, please ask Liang Yuanjun to come into the camp and talk about it!"

Liang Zhi hesitated, he still strode into Zhang Xuan's military camp, the two sat down in Zhang Xuan's guest hall, and in the far corner sat Liu Ling, who was bowing his head and copying documents, Zhang Xuan wanted to order someone to serve tea, but Liang Zhi stopped with a wave of his hand, "Thank you General Zhang for your kindness, there is no need for tea, let's get down to business." ”

Zhang Xuan took out a confession and handed it to Liang Zhi, "Let's take a look at it first!" ”

Liang Zhi took it and took a look, it turned out to be Feng Xiaotian's confession, did he confess so quickly? He secretly scolded Feng Xiaotian in his heart for being useless.

When he opened his confession and looked at it carefully, Liang Zhi was stunned for a moment, Feng Xiaotian not only admitted that it was true to sell rice wine privately, but also confessed that he was the proprietor of Qingzhou Restaurant, doesn't this mean that he Liang Zhi disobeyed the will of the Holy God?

Liang Zhi couldn't say a word, his face was red and white, but Zhang Xuan took the confession, brushed it twice and tore it into four pieces, Liang Zhi was stunned, "What does this mean, general?" He asked, puzzled.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Selling rice wine is just a trivial matter, it's not worth making a fuss, I'll release him immediately!" ”

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered: "Immediately put Feng Xiaotian and Li Shopkeeper away." ”

Liang Zhi finally reacted at this time, Zhang Xuan was just using Feng Xiaotian to lure himself to the barracks, he was fooled, he was a little overwhelmed and asked, "What is General Zhang going to do?" ”

"I invited the envoy to come, in fact, I want to make a deal with the envoy."

"Deal?"

Liang Zhi said coldly: "There has never been any deal between me and Zhang Xutuo. ”

"It's not with Zhang Dashuai, this matter has nothing to do with him, it's a deal between me and Liang Yuanjun."

"You?"

Liang Zhi looked at Zhang Xuan's smiling expression. He suddenly found that this Zhang Xuan didn't seem to be simple, first lured himself with small things, and then used big things to negotiate a deal with himself.

Thinking about it, I didn't know anything about this Zhang Xuan. Liang Zhi suddenly felt a little remorseful in his heart, why didn't he learn about this Zhang Xuan's background first?

"What does General Zhang want to trade?" Liang Zhi finally put away the disdain in his heart and looked serious.

Zhang Xuan smiled and took the two letters and put them in front of Liang Zhi, "I found a letter from Zuo Xiaoyou's secret room in Squatting Dog Mountain. It was Liang Taishou who wrote to Zuo Xiaoyou, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Zuo Xiaoyou, the time is March this year, does Liang Zhijun still remember? ”

The cold sweat on Liang Zhi's forehead flowed down, he did write such a letter, at that time Zhang Xutuo was fighting fiercely with Liu Badao's army of more than 100,000 in Qi County, Zuo Xiaoyou was ready to take the opportunity to hunt Beihai County with Meng Rang, he wrote a letter to implore Zuo Xiaoyou to let Beihai County go, but there was no result, Zhang Xutuo defeated Liu Badao's army. Zuo Xiaoyou and Meng Rang's army shrank back again.

He almost forgot this letter, but it fell into Zhang Xuan's hand, Liang Zhi trembled, unable to say a word, Zhang Xuan pointed to another letter and said: "This is Zuo Xiaoyou's confession, I just got it, he admitted that you have surrendered at the beginning of the year, if I hand over these two letters to the saint, what do Liang Taishou think will be the consequences?" ”

Liang Zhi was about to collapse, and only after a while did he tremble: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Xuan said unhurriedly: "I think Liang Taishou should know Li Hua of Feicheng County. He cooperated with Xu Yuanlang to lure the Sui army of Qi County, and almost annihilated Zhang Dashuai's army, and later Zhang Dashuai wanted to kill him, but I stopped him.

I told Zhang Dashuai. The vast majority of civil officials have integrity, they disdain to serve the bandits, they only disregard personal honor and disgrace to protect the people, in fact, they are very worthy of admiration, so now Li Hua is still serving as the Feicheng County Commander and has not been punished. In fact, I believe that the envoy is the same, in order to protect the people of Beihai County, I am right! ”

Liang Zhi lowered his head and said nothing, it could be seen that Zhang Xuan's words were in his heart, in fact, not only him, but all officials in the areas where the bandits were raging were the same, both court officials and secretly surrendered to the bandits, of course, the motive was not necessarily as noble as Zhang Xuan said, saving the lives and property of himself and his family was the important factor.

But Liang Zhi also understood in his heart that Zhang Xuan said this to reach a compromise with himself, and he sighed and said, "What does the general want?" ”

"I only need two things, one is the security power of Beihai County, and the other is two thousand private troops, I don't interfere in other government affairs, on the contrary, if Liang Taishou needs the help of the army, I will also try my best to help."

Liang Zhi hesitated, "This is what Zhang Dashuai meant?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and shook his head, "Zhang Dashuai will not do this kind of thing to take advantage of people's danger, I have just said, this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Dashuai, in fact, I am an independent military government, maybe Liang Envoyjun doesn't know much about it, if Liang Envoyjun has colleagues in the military department, he can also inquire about the appointment of the military department." ”

Liang Zhi sighed lowly, "Let me think about it!" ”

Zhang Xuan handed him the letter, "This is the original, give it to Liang Yuanjun." ”

Liang Zhi was stunned for a moment, Zhang Xuan actually gave the original to himself, so what else did he threaten?

"That's my sincerity! It's not so much a deal as a trade in exchange for sincerity. ”

Liang Zhi was speechless for a long time, he was indeed shocked by Zhang Xuan's actions, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, he took the letter and saluted Zhang Xuan, "Thank you General Zhang for your sincerity, Liang remembers it in his heart." ”

Liang Zhi said goodbye and left, Zhang Xuan sent him out of the camp and returned to the official room, he saw that Liu Ling wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said: "Do you think it is inappropriate for me to give him the original?" ”

Liu Ling smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just worried that he will not easily give up his army and law and order power, and without the original, there will be no constraints." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "Do you think I am really for the two thousand troops and law and order?" ”

Liu Ling was stunned, "That general is—"

Zhang Xuan sighed, "Zhang Dashuai offended the local government, I have to make up for it again, the local government and the wealthy clan are actually one, if I don't get their support, I can't stand in Qingzhou."

For people like Liang Zhi, if you are too soft on him, he will look down on you, too him, he will add new hatred to old hatred, the best way is to use both soft and the surface it is sincerity, but in fact it is to make him both afraid of you, but also grateful to you, I gave him the original, I believe he will be rewarded. ”

Liu Ling was immediately convinced, and bowed for a long time, "The general's methods are very impressive!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "I estimate that Liang Zhi really needs our help, I will leave this matter to you to deal with, try to handle the relationship with the local government, don't touch anything related to their interests for the time being, even if you find out that they are corrupt, you have to pretend to be confused, remember, we pay more, ask less, and make them feel that dealing with us is taking advantage, I need this brick from Beihai County to attract jade." ”

Liu Ling understood what Zhang Xuan meant, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, "But does the general really want to let them be corrupt?" ”

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Don't worry, you just treat them as if they were collecting money for me." ”

In the official room, Liang Zhi put the two original letters that Zhang Xuan gave him into the brazier, and watched them gradually burn to ashes, but he did not feel relaxed in his heart, but became heavier.

He has been working hard in officialdom for more than 20 years, and he has long passed the age of believing in sincerity, Liang Zhi knows very well in his heart that Zhang Xuanzhi is willing to hand over these two letters to himself, and he will inevitably have a bigger handle in his hands.

Too many things have happened in the past two years, and he himself can't remember how many tricks are still outside, such as the 'grain depot incident burned by the bandits', such as the copper tripod sent to Wang Bo, such as the oath of the Bohai Society, etc., etc., each of which is enough to make him be raided and destroyed, how much does Zhang Xuan know about these secrets?

Liang Zhichang sighed, he said that he wanted to go back and think about it, in fact, he couldn't think about anything, his mind was blank, and there was only fear left in his heart.

Also, who is this Jae Hyun? Liang Zhi felt that he was much more powerful than Zhang Xutuo, and he had to find out the truth.

At this moment, there was a report from the entourage outside: "Envoy Qi, the head of the Teng family is visiting!" (To be continued.) )
