"What's going on?"

Shen Zhezi poked his head out of the ox cart, and when he saw the young man who was pressed to the ground by the guard's back cut arms, his expression was stunned.

"The little people never dared to harm the horse, and they were in a hurry and offended the ...... of the horse."

The young man is Zhang Mu, the son of Zhang Min, but it looks very different from Shen Zhezi's impression, not to mention the embarrassed posture of being pressed in the dust, in the early years, this young man was also regarded as a young man, although he failed to marry a princess, but the starting point was not low, otherwise he would not have dared to offend Shen Zhezi earlier.

Since that time Shen Zhezi beat him half to death, the next turmoil has been repeated, and it is naturally difficult to meet again. In that turmoil, Shen Zhezi was admittedly imprisoned by Yu Liang, but at least Princess Xingnan helped him save face. This Zhang Mu was not so lucky, he was also deprived of his position. But now, Shen Zhezi is in charge of an army alone, riding in the same car with Wang Dao, but Zhang Mu is pressed in the dust, and the encounter has been judged.

"Get up and speak."

Shen Zhezi motioned for the guards to let go of this person, and when Zhang Mu stood up, he found that this young man was already thin and weak compared to earlier, and his left shoulder was slightly collapsed, and it seemed that it was difficult to stand up straight. There is also a scar on his face that looks quite eye-catching, which can't help but make Shen Zhezi feel a little surprised, could it be that this Zhang Mu has also suffered from the chaos of the army?

At that time, people still paid more attention to appearance, and how good they looked can sometimes even become a criterion for determining the progress of their careers. Nowadays, there is even a rumor that Sun Ce, the little overlord of the year, was injured in the face, took a self-portrait in the mirror, and roared angrily, "If the face is like this, it is still possible to restore the meritorious service", and died of grief and anger.

It doesn't matter if this matter is true or not, but it can be seen from this section that this is also an era of looking at faces, and Qian Feng was disfigured in the early years to Mingzhi. Now that this Zhang Mu has also been broken, it can be said that the future is bleak.

After Zhang Mu was released, he lowered his head and patted the dust on his body, but he didn't dare to show resentment, but he just saluted Shen Zhezi deeply: "Xiaomin dares to ask to see the concubine, hoping that the concubine can take care of the old friendship between the two families and let go of his father." Although my father was ordered by a traitor, he never lost his temperance, and he returned to protect his countrymen many times......"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he knew it in his heart. To be honest, he didn't think about embarrassing Zhang Min at all, when Zhang Min's group was expelled by Tao Kan, Shen Zhezi had already led the crowd to Qu'a. And detaining these people in Stone City was naturally not Shen Zhezi's idea, but the people who stayed in Stone City made their own decisions to breathe a sigh of relief for Shen Zhezi. Of course, when reporting afterwards, Shen Zhezi did not object.

This Zhang Mu came so eagerly to beg Shen Zhezi, probably because Shen Zhezi beheaded the king of Xiyang earlier, and sent Ji You to return to the capital to persecute those Danyang people, which made this Zhang Mu mistakenly think that he had old grudges and wanted to put Zhang Min to death.

"Why does Zhang Lang say this, he is the old man of Jiangdong, how can I suspect that Zhang Gong has misbehaved."

"But, however, my father is still trapped in a stone, and the donkey and the horse are ......."

Probably after the suffering, Zhang Mu's self-esteem also completely collapsed, his face showed a thick tangled color, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and he didn't dare to look directly at the young man in front of him who was still regarded as his opponent earlier, and said astringently: "In the early years, Xiaomin was young and frivolous, and occasionally collided with the bad deeds of the horse, and he knew that he was guilty......

"Hurry up and help Zhang Lang up."

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi flashed to the side and did not accept the heavy salute, even if he wanted to play prestige, there was no need to put up a fight in front of this Zhang Mu again. At this time, Director Wang also got out of the car, Shen Zhezi looked over with a wry smile, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Taibao, I really don't know how to defend myself when I encounter this incident on the way." ”

Director Wang glanced at the two young people who were still competing at the same level in the early years, but now they are very different, and he couldn't help but think of his family's son Wang Huzhi, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It is true that the children of the family are born with advantages, but as time goes by, they will eventually distance themselves due to their abilities and opportunities, and there are only a few most eye-catching positions, who can occupy them, and who can not decide with a word.

"Zhang Jialangjun, please rest assured, everyone knows what Zhang Shangshu's temperament is. The horse led the king to return to the king of Duqin to quell the rebellion, and he was loyal and righteous, and he would never be confused by the old things. Stone City is an important place for military defense, and the horses are prepared here, and things must be cautious, which is a public discussion in Taichung, and it is by no means deliberately difficult. ”

Director Wang is also a beneficiary, so he naturally wants to help Shen Zhezi speak out at this time.

Director Wang's prestige and status are here, since he spoke, even if Zhang Mu still has a thousand worries in his heart, it is not easy to say at this time, but he just stepped forward and saluted Director Wang: "Since Taibao has words, Xiaomin is convinced." The father can wash away the grievances, which is the thought of Taibao. It's just that Xiaomin wants to ask the horse, I don't know when my father will be able to return home? ”

"Grievances? Zhang Jialangjun might as well say bluntly, what grievances did Zhang Shangshu suffer? ”

Hearing this, Director Wang's face sank suddenly, he naturally knew why Zhang Min was detained in Stone City and had not returned, but Zhang Mu's words had too many points. To put it mildly, this is simply pointing out that Shen Zhezi framed Zhongyi in full view of everyone, and even implied that he was complicit!

For the sake of reason, Director Wang can't pretend to ignore it, especially in this current season when the situation in Gyeonggi is trying to be stable. If Zhang Min has grievances, should the case be overturned? If the case is to be overturned, does the group of people involved in Qu'a handled by Shen Zhezi have grievances? Do I need to overturn the case? If everyone cries out for grievances, should the situation in Gyeonggi be stable?

Zhang Mu saw Director Wang's face change suddenly, and his heart suddenly froze, but he didn't know where the reason was.

"Taibao, the younger generation has been in Qu'a to calm the chaos earlier, but I don't know what Zhang Langyan means, I don't know if Taibao may solve my doubts?"

Shen Zhezi asked at the right time, in fact, he didn't have a strong sense of revenge for those Taiwanese ministers who took advantage of the Jingzhou military to embarrass him, after all, this is not the first priority at the moment. But this doesn't mean that he is just spit on his own and magnanimous, he is just too lazy to think about it, but now this Zhang Mu has taken the initiative to hand over the handle.

When Director Wang heard Shen Zhezi's question, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, turned his head to Shen Zhezi and said, "Zhang Jialangjun's words also made me very confused. Zhang Shangshu is a virtuous person in Jiangdong, how can he be wronged! Since the people are still in Stone City, please ask the horses to verify this matter and give an explanation to the princes of the government and the opposition and the people of Danyang Township! ”

"Taibao rest assured, the juniors will handle this matter properly!"

Shen Zhezi didn't know if Zhang Min had been wronged, but since his son Zhang Mu openly discussed the matter in front of everyone's eyes, it was impossible for Zhang Min to be wronged again! How can he be unjustly unjust? The evidence is conclusive! Nowadays, it is difficult to find people with unparalleled loyalty, and there are many people who have lost their personal virtues!

Ji You's return to the capital to meet Qu A's family involved in the matter was not smooth, this kind of thing probably became a norm in the eyes of the people of the time, but now that Shen Zhezi is serious, it makes people a little confused. He also needs a relatively large enough chicken to kill the monkey, and if he wants to give people enough deterrence, Zhang Min is very suitable as the patriarch of the Danyang Zhang clan.

And this matter was confessed by Director Wang, to verify whether Zhang Min was wronged. Earlier, Shen Zhezi beheaded the King of Xiyang in the battle formation, and he could also prevaricate that it was an expedient strategy, and he himself did not have the power to dispose of the big people above two thousand stones. But now that Director Wang has commanded, he can justifiably check whether Zhang Min has been wronged!

"Someone! With my warrant, I will send an edict to Shicheng and others to strictly investigate whether anyone wants to trap Zhang Shangshu! ”

Shen Zhezi glanced at Zhang Mu, who was still unknown, then at the ministers in the rear who had changed color, and then at Director Wang, whose face was as calm as water, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, the combination of political power and military power is a perfect match! With Zhang Min's status and tacit cooperation with Director Wang, this turmoil is really big or small.

In the coming day, it is okay to have light clouds and light winds, and it is also okay to be gloomy and cloudy. But one thing is certain, he and Director Wang are now using Zhang Mu's momentary gaffe to reach a consensus with each other, he wants to use Director Wang's political prestige, and Director Wang wants to use his military authority to reach a temporary alliance, no longer have to be suspicious and compromise with each other, through the cooperation of this matter, if the goal is not achieved, he will not give up!

Whether Zhang Min is guilty or not, and how many people can be implicated through Zhang Min, Shen Zhezi said it doesn't count, Director Wang doesn't count, what he really says is the queen mother of Xingtai. Zhang Min's sister-in-law blocked the road and shouted injustice, did Zhang Min be resented? No matter what the answer is, with Zhang Min's fame, it is enough to implicate more people. As long as the Queen Mother does not return to the capital to set the tone, this matter may be endless.

Political trade-offs do not need to be right or wrong, only a reason or excuse. Even if it is still a contrast of absolute power in the end, with a layer of whitewashing, more information can be quietly probed, such as what Tao Kan thinks about being close at hand. Knowing this, we know where to go next.

So Shen Zhezi sometimes really admires a scheming person like Director Wang, who is obviously just a fool with an accidental aphasia, and the old guy can keenly grasp this loophole and create a specific negotiation scene, through his views on this matter, he can not only test people's hearts, but also avoid direct confrontation of forces.

While Shen Zhezi was so emotional, he didn't know that Director Wang was also quite admired in his heart because of his close cooperation, and an incident like this was just an emergency. It is not unheard of in his past ruling career, and the one who cooperated with him in the past will be his son Wang Yue.

But even Director Wang has to admit that in terms of insight into his intentions, even if it is his son who has carefully taught, he often needs to have a clear hint before he can understand his intentions. However, this colt knew the meaning of the song at the first time, and said that he would investigate the matter to the end!

Cunning and cunning!

Born with power!

This is the evaluation that Shen Zhezi and Director Wang made to each other in their hearts through this occasional cooperation.
