Zhang Zhen stood between the two women, and he couldn't let the two of them fight if he said anything today.

But at this moment, the porter hurriedly ran over, he seemed to feel the dangerous aura condensed in the air, stopped far away, and said, "Young Master, someone is looking for him at the door, he looks like a big official."

Zhang Lu seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and said, "Please, please!"

The porter ran down as if he were about to go.

Zhang Yan smiled awkwardly at the two, "The guests are here, let the guests see that the two of you are not competing, let's drink tea."

Han Qin snorted lightly and tilted his head to the side directly, while Xu Haoyuan spoke, "Just according to Gongzi Zhang's words."

As soon as the words fell, I saw two people brought in by the porter.

These two people also know each other, one is Xie Cheng, the Marquis of Yongping, and the other is the son of Xie Cheng, and Zhang Cheng's classmate in James's Mansion, named Xie Wen'an.

Seeing the two of them, he immediately stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "The Marquis of Yongping is here, and the little nephew is not welcome."

I only heard Xie Cheng say: "Today, our father and son came over, it was really a little abrupt, and I hope Zhang Baihu will not blame."

Zhang Yu grinned, "It's not abrupt, it's not abrupt at all."

But isn't it, Zhang Cheng just wants to thank Xie Cheng now, he can't help but look back at Xu Haoyuan and Han Qin, if Xie Cheng hadn't come, he really wouldn't know how to stop the battle between the two women today.

Xie Cheng followed Zhang Yuan's gaze, and then saw that there were two other people in the courtyard, among them, Xu Haoyuan was completely ignored, and Han Qin was completely ignored.

I saw Xie Cheng and Xie Wen'an, father and son, respectfully saluting Han Qin, and said, "Minister Xie Cheng, I have seen the county lord of Le'an."

Han Qin nodded and said softly, "No courtesy".

Xie Cheng said to Zhang Yan again, "I wonder if Zhang Baihu has time to talk to me privately?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Just go to the study, it's quiet."

Xie Cheng nodded in agreement, then turned his head to Xie Wen'an and instructed, "You wait here for your father, and you will come back later."

Zhang Cheng took Xie Cheng to the study, and asked, "I don't know what Yongping Hou is looking for his little nephew?"

Xie Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "I'm a rough person with no culture, what can I say directly?"

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Marquis Yongping, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

This Xie Cheng really got straight to the point, and he only heard him say, "Those soldiers who intercepted and killed you on the street were my subordinates."

These words directly startled Zhang Cheng, he got up directly, thinking that his ears were hallucinating, and confirmed again to Xie Cheng, "What? You say the men who intercepted me were your men?"

I saw Xie Cheng sigh and nodded, and then said, "Yes, it is my subordinates, but they were not sent by me, how they entered Jinling City, and why they intercepted and killed you, I don't know."

This can be completely blinded, your subordinates are yours, but you tell me that you don't know anything? And take the initiative to come and confess all this? Is this coming to be funny?

Zhang Cheng just looked at Xie Cheng without words.

Xie Cheng continued: "No matter how you say this, it is also unfavorable for me to restrain my subordinates, and it is really difficult to escape the responsibility. But you have to believe me, there is another mastermind behind this. Recently, Jinling City has been turbulent, and I have always been uneasy in my heart, so I came to confess this matter to you."

….

Zhang Zhen thought about it carefully, Li Jinglong couldn't find anything after investigating for so long, if Xie Cheng couldn't be honest about it today, then I'm afraid the truth of the matter would not be revealed by Li Jinglong.

And generally speaking, Zhang Cheng still trusts Xie Cheng more, first, Xie Cheng really has no culture, and he won't beat around the bush when he does things, if he wants to kill himself, he will never make so much trouble.

Second, Xie Wenan is Xie Cheng's only son, and he is very good with himself, and now he can be regarded as a member of Zhu Yunwen's faction, and among the noble sons who protect Zhu Yunwen these days, there is Xie Wenan. Xie Cheng really didn't need to kill Zhang Lu.

And one more thing,

Xie Cheng's daughter married Zhu Li, the king of Jin, as a concubine, but the king of Jin died a few years ago, and there was no possibility of inheriting the position of the prince, so Xie Cheng naturally would not kill Zhang Lu.

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "If Yongping Hou has anything else to say, let's say it together."

Xie Cheng took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, and then said: "I don't have any merits, I just have a lot of bravery, and it is with this courage that I have fought all the way out of the army, and I can be regarded as a good knighthood. I only have one son and one daughter in my life, and my eldest daughter has already been married, even if I am widowed now, I don't have to worry about it, but I really can't let go of this kid Wen'an, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that Wen'an will have something to do."

Zhang Lu shook his head at the right time, and said, "You are a dignified Yongping Marquis, and there are countless generals under your command, how can there be anything bad?"

Xie Cheng had a sad face, smiled awkwardly, and said, "What subordinates have countless colonels? What if you have more men? They can kill you in the street behind my back, what else can't be done? I, a general, actually don't have that strong control over my subordinate generals. Now that the prince is dead, the world is going to change, although His Majesty has not yet established a prince, but recently the outside world has been rumored that Zhu Yunwen will be made the emperor's grandson, I don't know if this news is true or not, but the competition for the storage position is not a trivial matter, God knows how much blood and rain there will be in it, I am old, I have no sharpness, and I don't want to participate in it, but I was still forced to enter the game. And when the prince is here, we noble princes can suppress it, but what if the prince is replaced by someone else?"

It is said that Yongping Hou has no brains on weekdays, but in Zhang Lu's eyes, he is the wisest, precisely because he has no selfish desires from the matter of the prince, so he seems to see things more clearly than others.

"What will happen?"

Xie Cheng let out another long sigh and said, "No matter who the position of prince changes, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress those arrogant generals, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will kill Xungui again for the sake of the peace of the world!"

Zhang Yu suddenly thought, "I remember that in the Song Dynasty, was there a cup of wine to release the military power?"

Zhang Lu, who doesn't understand history at all, still learned this history in James Mansion some time ago.

I saw Xie Cheng nodding and said, "Yes, I will enter the palace in a while, in order to return to my hometown, I just hope that everything is my villain's heart." But I have a reluctant request."

Zhang Yan said, "It's okay for the Marquis of Yongping to say it."

Xie Chengdao: "Before the matter is settled, I hope Zhang Baihu can help me take care of Wen'an for a few days."

Night rivers and lakes.
