Seeing that there were only three people left in the hall, Hua Rong said, "Master Zhang, I don't know what I want to tell the lower officials?" ”

Glancing at Huang Xin, Zhang Shuo said bluntly: "Don't hide it from Hua Zhizhai, when I arrived at Liu Zhizhai yesterday, Liu Zhizhai gave the official and Lord Huang a gift, and asked the official and Lord Huang to say a few kind words in front of the Murong Prefect. I think Hua Zhizhai must understand the meaning of this, right? ”

"What a Liu Gao!" Hua Rong was furious when he heard this, and slammed his palm on the table. He knew that Liu Gao must be playing a ghost here, and if he knew that this was the case, he should have listened to those people, and went to rob people last night, and killed Liu Gao by the way, and there would be no trouble today.

Glancing at the angry Hua Rong, Huang Xin didn't pay attention to it, but looked at Zhang Shuo puzzled and said, "Brother Zhang Xian, who are you?" ”

"Lord Huang, don't be angry, and let the officials come with you." After listening to Huang Xin's inquiry, Zhang Shuo arched his hand and said: "Huazhizhai is extremely powerful, and it is behind the gate, how can it be with the Qingfeng Mountain bandits?" Liu Gao wants to frame Hua Zhizhai, and we must not be able to let it succeed. With Huazhizhai here, plus the state's troops, we want to exterminate the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain, so it's not easy to capture? When the time comes, with such merits, the imperial court will inevitably add officials to us and become knights, what do you think? ”

Huang Xin's heart was moved when he heard this, his goal was originally to exterminate the three mountains where bandits gathered, Qingfeng Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Peach Blossom Mountain, if he could succeed, it would definitely be better than the gift given by Liu Gao, but if he did this, Liu Gao would not be able to deal with it, so he asked: "Brother Xian's words are reasonable, but what should Liu Zhizhai do?" ”

After listening to Huang Xin's question, Zhang Shuodang laughed, he knew that the other party was moved, so he looked at Hua Rong and said, "Liu Zhizhai is over there, but Hua Zhizhai wants to cooperate." ”

"I don't know what to do?" Hua Rong's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately made a look of listening.

Zhang Shuo said with a smile: "This official saw that those villagers in Huazhizhai Mansion were not good people, they must be bandits from Qingfeng Mountain. When Lord Huang and the official mediated the two Zhizhai to eat and drink, these bandits dared to assassinate Lord Liu in order to force Hua Zhizhai to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. Although we tried to save each other, I didn't want Liu Zhizhai to die under the knife. Hua Zhizhai will be a witness when the time comes, what do you think? ”

"This" Hua Rong suddenly groaned when he heard this, although he hated Liu Gao deeply and wanted to kill him with a knife, but he didn't think much about asking him to do this. If he was allowed to rush in and kill Liu Gao with a knife, he would never think about it, and he would definitely agree immediately. But he didn't care about framing others like this, so he hesitated, not knowing whether it was better or not.

didn't wait for Hua Rong to think about it, but Huang Xin said: "Brother Zhang Xian, it's not a hero's thing for me to do this." According to my brother, I will directly take down those bandits, and then go back to inform the Lord of the Mansion and send troops to suppress the bandits, and then Huazhizhai will send troops to support us. ”

After listening to Huang Xin's words, Hua Rong, who didn't want to do that, immediately said: "If you can save the relatives of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely go all out to serve the two adults." ”

"What did a hero do? Why didn't I see you say that when I collected the money? Listening to Huang Xin's words, Zhang Shuo complained in his heart, for the reaction of the two, he was very helpless, he was not good at this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If Hua Zhizhai wants to rescue his relatives, he will inevitably offend Liu Zhizhai, if Liu Zhizhai is fine, he will inevitably not retaliate afterwards." ”

Hua Rong Zhengse said: "The lower official is not afraid, if he dares to come, don't blame the lower official for being polite." ”

"A tendon guy!" Zhang Shuo was very helpless when he saw this, so he could only look at Huang Xin and said, "If I wait to do this, I will definitely offend Liu Gao." Not to mention that he played right and wrong in front of the prefect afterwards, even when we were waiting to suppress the bandits, if he blocked us, it would be a troublesome thing. ”

Huang Xin said with a smile when he heard this: "Brother Xian, don't worry, Liu Zhizhai is a reasonable person who knows what to do." He believed that Liu Gao didn't dare to do anything, not to mention that he didn't dare to retaliate, even if he dared, the prefect must also believe that there were more of them, where would he believe that he was an outsider.

"Since the adults have said so, then the lower officials will not say more." Although Zhang Shuo was helpless when he saw this, he still chose not to say more. It's best to be able to kill Liu Gao, it doesn't matter if he dies or not, as long as most of those contractors die, there will be no interference with his mission. As for the contractor on the side of the Three Mountains, he will naturally do it himself. If you really can't do it, isn't there a big army?

Although he said that he had made a decision, Zhang Shuo still did not end the conversation immediately, but led the topic to the suppression of bandits. Anyway, he had to give the contractors more time so they could fight a little longer.

"Your Excellency!" Not long after the three of them talked, the bloodstained armored man and Ren Xia walked in with a sad face, and said to Huang Xin: "My lord, when the Zhuang Ke on the Huazhizhai Mansion took us out, he secretly attacked us and others, killed several of my brothers, and asked my lord to be the master for us!" ”

"What?" Looking at the two people with grief on their faces in front of him, Huang Xin was suddenly shocked, these people were neither his subordinates, nor the Zhuang guests in his mansion, but the Zhuang guests in the mansion of the prefect of Murong, now that they have an accident, how do you want him to explain to the prefect?

"Hua Rong, they are the Zhuang guests of the prefect's mansion, you can see for yourself what to do!" This kind of thing happened, and Huang Xin immediately lost the idea of relying on Hua Rong, and even had the heart to win him.

"How so!" Hua Rong couldn't believe it, without his order, how could those people in his mansion dare to do such a thing, aren't they afraid of cutting off their heads? The originally good situation turned into this, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.

Looking at the two people standing not far in front of him, Zhang Shuo suppressed the smile in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Where are the people who attacked you now?" ”

After taking a deep look at Zhang Shuo, the armored man clasped his fists and replied: "Lord Hui, I waited for the resistance and killed the six of them, and the other three were run away by them, and now I don't know where they are." ”

"It seems that these people are Qingfeng Mountain bandits, there is no doubt about it." Zhang Shuo nodded casually, and said to Huang Xin: "My lord, this matter should have nothing to do with Huazhizhai, I will report to the prefect of Murong when the time comes, and say that a few Zhuang guests died at the hands of the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain, so that the prefect will definitely support us even more to exterminate them, what do you think?" ”

Hearing Zhang Shuo's words, Huang Xin didn't answer immediately, but looked at the two people standing and said, "What Lord Zhang said is right, those people are bandits from Qingfeng Mountain?" ”

This time, without waiting for the armored man to speak, Ren Xia said first: "My lord, those people are indeed bandits from Qingfeng Mountain. At that time, when they started, they said that they wanted to force Huazhizhai to rebel, and we heard it clearly. ”

"Hmm!" Huang Xin nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, then looked at the armored man and said, "What she said is right?" ”

"That's true!" The armored man was not stupid, so he naturally knew what to say, so he nodded in agreement immediately.

"That being the case, there is no doubt that it must be the bandits of Qingfeng Mountain!" Huang Xin said and didn't pay attention to Hua Rong, but said to Zhang Shuo: "Brother Zhang Xian, you take these two Zhuang guests back to the state, and immediately transfer the five hundred soldiers from your headquarters, and I will suppress this Qingfeng Mountain first, so as to give an explanation to the prefect." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shuo looked at Darong, and then said meaningfully: "There is no problem with adults alone, right?" ”

"Although the virtuous brother can rest assured, the official has no other skills, and he still has a little bit of work in his hands." Huang Xin smiled when he heard this, then looked at Hua Rong and said, "Besides, if Liu Zhizhai is really dissatisfied with this official, Hua Zhizhai will also help, right?" ”

"It's nature!" Hua Rong nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

"In that case, then the lower official will leave first!" Zhang Shuo stood up as he spoke, hugged his fists at Huang Xin, then nodded at Hua Rong and walked outside.

Seeing this, the armored man and Ren Xia saluted, and hurriedly followed.

Seeing them leaving, Huang Xin said, "Hua Zhizhai, it's time for me to leave, right?" ”

"Your Excellency, please!" Hua Rong stood up, bent over and clenched his fists.

"Let's go together!" Huang Xin said and walked outside.

Seeing this, Hua Rong glanced at the silver spear beside him, and after thinking about it, he still didn't take it, so he followed out.

Out of Qingfeng Village, walking on the avenue, Zhang Shuo looked at the armored man and Ren Xia walking together, and said with a smile: "The two of you have gained a lot, right?" ”

The armored man listened to Ren Xia and moved closer slightly, and said with a wary face: "Your Excellency is a good means, let me fight to the death in three or two clicks, and you yourself are taking advantage of the fisherman, it is really a good means!" ”

"Fisherman's profit?" Zhang Shuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, stopped and looked at the two of them and said, "What you said is interesting, it seems that I haven't gained anything at all, right?" How can I say that I take advantage of the fisherman? ”

The armored man was very wary and said: "You know if you have gained anything!" ”

"Hehe" glanced at the armored man, Zhang Shuo looked at Ren Xia and said, "Ren Xia, what I told you before, how did you think about it?" ”

Glancing at the armored man standing in front of him, thinking of the strength of the other party, Ren Xia was sure in his heart, and said with a cold face: "There's nothing to consider, don't even think about it." ”

"Ren Xia, you have to think about it!" Listening to Ren Xia's words, Zhang Shuo looked at the armored man thoughtfully, it was this guy who gave her courage, that is to say, this armored man is very strong.
