Jia Xu said with a gloomy face: "These three families have a great relationship with the Jiangdong Sun family, and the only son and nephew among the three families are serving under Sun Jian's account, and it is impossible for them to finally become the lord." Moreover, the behavior of the lord who copied the Xichuan scholars before and the current imperial examination system have made the scholars the worst! Even if the three families don't dare to say it, they will definitely make peace with other forces behind their backs, intending to drive the lord out of Jingxiang! If these people cannot be friends, why should we be polite to them? Hmph, I heard that these three have extremely large industries in Jingxiang, not to mention that they are definitely rich! If their assets can be confiscated, I estimate that there will be three years of military spending! ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but be moved, and frowned: "That's what I said, but if these three clans are really confiscated, will it have a bad impact on the situation in Jingxiang?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "What impact will it have?" Now Wenyuan's army is in the city, and Jiangdong Sun's solid strength is greatly damaged, and there is no time to care about it, except that there will be scholars and literati writing articles and cursing the lord, it will not have any impact! Ordinary people and merchants' families are afraid that they will still gloat! As for reputation, my lord, will my reputation be worse after doing this than it is now? "Now in the Central Plains, the scholar class, whether it is the scholar class under the rule of Lu Bu or the scholar class under the rule of Sun Jian and Cao Cao, has long regarded Zhang Lang as a devil monster, although many dare not speak out, but it is certain that almost all the scholars are eager for Zhang Lang, the guy who broke the original order, to die sooner!

Zhang Lang smiled, smiling a little coldly, "You're right, what reputation do I care about in this situation?" But the visible gold and silver money and food are more real! ”

Jia Xu hurriedly echoed: "What the lord said is extremely true! Mrs. Cai's matter is a wedge, we can burn the fire more vigorously, let Mrs. Cai go to the governor's yamen to report the three families, and say that the three families are plotting against and stealing the property of the Cai family, please judge Zhuge Kongming! And then on this ground, I copied all three! ”

Zhang Lang was a little unbearable, after all, most of the three families were innocent, and there were no eggs under the nest, if he really did this, he was afraid that many innocent people would die!

Zhang Lang turned his heart sideways and said secretly: This world is the law of the jungle, if the strength of the weak is reversed, will they pity me? Obviously not, they don't have a chance, if they have a chance, I will definitely die without a place to be buried, not only that, Yu Yao, Yueying, Diao Chan, etc., their fate is only afraid that it will be extremely miserable! Kill! No mercy, no mercy!

Zhang Lang looked at Jia Xu and said lightly: "Just do it." Tell me what I mean. Then he said with some worry: "This kind of thing, I'm worried that Kong Ming will be unbearable!" ”

Jia Xu smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry. I know Kong Ming, although Kong Ming is benevolent and righteous, but when necessary, he is more decisive and cruel than anyone else! Hehe, at most he'll call me a traitor, and that's okay. ”

Zhang Lang shook his head and sighed, "You two are comparable in talent, but your personalities are very different!" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "In addition to the different personalities of Kong Ming and me, in fact, our pursuits are not exactly the same. ……”

"Oh? Why didn't I see it? ”

Jia Xu said: "The common point between me and Kong Ming is that we both hope that the world will be peaceful, but the difference is that Kong Ming hopes to restore the appearance of the heyday of the Han Dynasty, of course, Kong Ming does not pursue that the world must belong to the Liu family; I am different from him, I hope that the world can return to the appearance of the ancient sages, not the son inherits the father's business, but by the capable people, only in this way can the world truly have long-term peace and stability! ”

Zhang Lang smiled bitterly: "I agree with Wenhe's point of view very much, but now I'm afraid that there is no such set of conditions?" That's what you said, too. ”

Jia Xu nodded, "I do think so." He sighed, "Let it be, if the world really can't return to the appearance of the ancient sages, I don't regret it!" ”

Zhang Lang was silent for a moment. Thinking of the imperial examination, he asked, "How is the examination?" The results of the second exam are out, right? ”

Jia Xu clenched his fists and said, "I was about to report to the lord." He then took out a list from his sleeve cage and presented it to Zhang Lang with both hands.

Zhang Lang took the list, opened it, and asked while looking at it: "These are the people who entered the final election?" ”

"Yes, eight hundred and twenty-three in all."

Zhang Lang put down the list and said to Jia Xu: "Inform me that the final election will be held in the General's Mansion five days later, and let them make preparations." ”

Jia Xu clenched his fists and promised.

……

Xuchang.

Liu Bei frowned and paced back and forth in the back hall, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu stood on both sides, both looking anxious. Zhang Fei couldn't help it, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, if you don't speak, do you suspect that Zhao Yun and I have wronged Zhao Yun?" Guan Yu frowned and said: "Cao Cao and Zhao Yun only have a close relationship, we have seen it with our own eyes, how can we fake it when we meet each other?" ”

Liu Bei stopped and said in disbelief: "Zilong's heart is like iron and stone from the time I was in danger, how could he betray me?" ”

Zhang Fei scolded: "He saw that Cao Cao was powerful, so he wanted to be rich, so he threw himself at Cao Cao!" ”

Liu Bei shook his head, not convinced.

At this moment, the guard came to report: "Lord Qi, Mr. Xu Shu is back." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ran out of the back hall. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other and followed.

Xu Shu had already followed Liu Bei when he was in Jingxiang. In the past six months, because he went home to take care of his mother, he was not by Liu Bei's side, and he only came back today.

The three of them hurried to the vestibule and saw Xu Shu in the dust. Liu Bei was overjoyed, stepped forward, hugged Xu Shu's arms and said emotionally: "Yuan Zhi, I'm really worried that you won't come back!" ”

Xu Shu was moved in his heart.

Liu Bei took Xu Shu's hand and walked towards the hall, and at the same time shouted to the guards on the side, "Go and make tea." The guard answered and ran down.

Several people entered the hall, Liu Bei pulled Xu Shu to sit down on the top and pour out their lovesickness, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat on the left and right to accompany the prime minister.

The guard brought the tea and retreated.

Liu Bei held Xu Shu's hand and said excitedly: "Yuan Zhi is back, my heart has finally fallen!" Xu Shu smiled, hugged his fists and asked, "Dare to ask the lord, did Zilong go to Dongjun to take office?" ”

Zhang Fei snorted coldly and said angrily: "What are you doing mentioning that ungrateful villain?" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly said: "Definitely! Yide and Yun Chang, as well as Zilong, I'm afraid that they have all fallen for Cao Cao's tricks! ”

The three of them didn't understand, and Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Why did Yuan Zhi say this?" ”
