Chapter 1093: Be open and honest
It's like you're doing something very ordinary. Zhang Fan ordered Wang Meng to arrest the six people in the middle of the week. took Liang Chao and Zhao Zijie back to the palace. This feeling. It's like. All of it. All of them are already under Zhang Fan's control. And Zhang Fan's performance. In peace. It reveals more self-confidence.
Merely. This self-confidence of his. For the midweek gang. But it's not a good thing. Or rather. Zhang Fanyue behaved like this. The more it makes Zhou Zhongren feel like the situation they are in now. It's simply impossible to escape the feeling. Although it doesn't show any signs of facing a dead end. But in their hearts. That's what I think about.
"Zhao Zijie." Just when Zhao Zijie followed Zhang Fan and turned to leave. Said out loud in the middle of the week. "You wait for me. It doesn't matter how many of us die. But your life. It must be in our hands. "Maybe I think. If you let Zhou Zijie leave like this. It's too much. So in the middle of the week, he said something like this. But. That didn't boost their momentum. On the contrary, it makes people feel. He's just fighting the trapped beasts. It is in a situation that is simply irreversible. There was nothing threatening to say such a thing. It just makes it more understandable to those who hear it. He's really desperate now.
And Zhao Zijie. After hearing the mid-week voice. Stopped. I looked back at him. and he did not pay any more attention. turned around and continued to follow Zhang Fan.
After the three of them walked around the corner southeast of the palace. The sound of a fight could be heard there. But they paid no attention to the voice. Or go to the palace.
Wait until the three of them walk to the gate of the palace. The sound of the fight over there was completely inaudible. I don't know if it's because it's too far away to be heard. Or is the fight over? Wang Meng and others have already captured a group of people in the middle of the week. But now. This question is not important to Zhang Fan. Getting caught in the middle of the week was inevitable.
The doorman of the palace. I was a little surprised that Zhang Fan and Zhao Zijie came back together. After all, the two of them can be regarded as going out one after another. Although there is not much difference in the middle. But not at the same time, after all. And the doorman also knows the identities of the two. I always feel that there should be no intersection between them. I guess I met on the way back. I didn't ask too much.
Now the first day of the Lunar New Year has arrived. And it's been a while. Although it was already late at night. But every house is very lively. Even in the vicinity of the palace, artillery was not allowed. But the lights are still on in every house. Apparently people are welcoming the arrival of the new year. And the palace is even more lively. Even if the sound of firecrackers is missing. But the people who come and go are all talking and laughing. It's very festive.
After Zhang Fan and the three entered the palace. I didn't go to a crowded place to join in the fun. Instead, he asked someone to find a room in the middle of nowhere. and commanded the gatekeepers. If Wang Meng came later. Let him come to him. For these requirements of Zhang Fan. The people below are a little confused. He didn't know that on such a day. Why is Zhang Fan looking here. I think it's something important to discuss. But I'm not in a hurry to do it today. And. Zhao Zijie still followed. It's even more confusing for them.
But these people work as errands in places like the palace. Some things are naturally understood. So they have doubts in their hearts. I didn't bother with it. There is nothing wrong with doubts. And wrong. I can't keep the doubts in my heart. Ask random questions. That's going to get you into unexpected trouble. And these people know all too well. So even if it's doubts. I don't bother to ask. Just concentrate on your own business.
The three of them entered the room and sat down. Zhang Fan didn't say anything. Just sit there quietly. There was no movement. It looks like he's the way he looks. It's not like you're thinking about anything. Rather, what are you waiting for.
When he saw Zhang Fan, he didn't speak. Zhao Zijie understands that his position is even more powerless to speak. And. Although he understands that he is now at a disadvantage. But he was calm. Or because he knows. I've come to this kind of time. There's nothing to worry about. Case. He was relieved. No more worrying about anything. Since Zhang Fan didn't speak. He just waited intently.
But Liang Chao stared at Zhao Zijie with a wary face. Although Zhao Zijie is in the situation now. He understands it, too. Or so to speak. It is impossible for Zhao Zijie to do anything now. But even so. Liang Chao still had to concentrate on him. to prevent any accidents from happening.
That's it. The three people in the room were silent. And the bustle that came from the original place. But it makes it even more silent. The silence was a little weird. But even so. None of the three moved.
That's it. I waited a little longer. Footsteps could finally be heard outside the door. Closer and closer. Open the door. Wang Meng walked in.
"Your Excellency. It's all done. "After the king came in. Said to Zhang Fan. "All five have been caught. There is also one according to the previous instructions of the adults. It was let go by us 'unintentionally'. The brothers did a good job. I didn't let those people see that we were deliberately letting him go. ”
"Well done. Great work. After listening to Wang Meng's report. Zhang Fan nodded.
"Lord Zhang. Is it still necessary? And after hearing Wang Meng's words. Zhao Zijie on the side couldn't help but speak. "Now I don't have a way back. Adults don't have to do that. He naturally understood the reason why Zhang Fan wanted to let go of a person.
Do so. That is, to have one more person send the message back. shows that Zhao Zijie has indeed betrayed those people. That's it. Zhang Fan can rest assured that he can "cooperate" with Zhao Zijie without any worries. Even later. What does Zhao Zijie want to do. But he alone couldn't do it. And when that time comes, if he wants to find someone to help. There would never be anyone who would cooperate with someone like him who betrayed others.
Merely. Zhao Zijie felt it. Zhang Fan did this completely superfluous. As a matter of fact. Judging by the fact that the gang wanted his life in the middle of the week today. There was no way back. The other party has already made up their minds to kill him. It's a good idea. How could it be changed?
"I'm sorry. That's a lot of work. Zhang Fan looked at Zhao Zijie. Said in a very calm voice. "Still. Next, I'm going to talk to Zijie about something. And after the negotiation was completed. Our relationship is not so simple. So. I'm going to have to eliminate all of those possible consequences. But so many things have been done. Please also ask Zijie to understand. ”
"Understood." Zhao Zijie nodded. Said. "Still. What does Master Zhang want to do next? ”
"Zijie uses the word 'below' to call himself. Seems a little out of place. Zhang Fan said. Maybe. Even the name Zhao Zijie. It's not your real name. ”
"It seems. Master Zhang knows a lot. For Zhang Fan said so. Zhao Zijie was also surprised at first. But he wasn't surprised for long. Maybe it's because. Now at this time. Zhang Fan knew this and said it to him. It's not something that surprises him. "I don't know when Lord Zhang learned about me."
"I don't know if you remember. What about the day of the New Year's Day? Zhang Fan replied to Zhao Zijie. It was the day when Zhu Xuanqi gathered all of us together for dinner. ”
"Of course I remember that." Zhao Zijie said with a smile. And the smile on his face isn't just as simple as it pretends to be. His heart was really happy. Why. Because Zhang Fan called Zhu Xuanqi by his name. Instead of calling him a prince or something. Although he had long known that Zhang Fan was here to deal with Zhu Xuanqi. But he didn't know how far Zhang Fan was going to deal with him. But now it seems. I'm afraid it's big trouble.
"Hmm. I'm sure you remember. Zhang Fan said. Then you'll remember it, too. That night. No. It should be said that it was the next day. You and the third princess will meet in the garden. ”
"Of course, I won't forget this." Zhao Zijie is no longer surprised. "Still. The two Thousand Households were not in the palace that day. And I didn't notice that there were people around. How the hell does Master Zhang know? Or maybe Master Zhang just knew that I had an appointment with the third princess. But she didn't hear what I said to her. That's it. I'm afraid most people will think that it's just me having an adulterous affair with her. But I don't want to go anywhere else. Why did Master Zhang think of this? "That's right. Today's gaffe development. Adultery or something. It's just a small thing.
"Nope. I was hiding by the edge of that little pavilion. I have not missed a word of what you have said. They all listened. Zhang Fan said. You may find it strange. I'm not a martial artist. How can you hide from you, who have martial arts. Not really. Although I have never practiced martial arts. But I have also learned some of the art of tuning. Even if it's not very clever. But steady their own breath. It's still possible to keep others from finding out. ”
"I see." Zhao Zijie suddenly realized. "It seems. Hit from the beginning. I'm already underestimating adults. Now. It's come to this point. It seems that Master Zhang must have something to do with me. Now you don't have to hide it. Let's ask Mr. Zhang to say it clearly. What the hell is going on? ”
"You're happy." Zhang Fan said. "But that's right. Now you don't have any other way. I can only listen to my no. That's good. Let's talk about it next. But first. I've got to find out who you are. Otherwise, a lot of things will be difficult to do. ”
