This hall was full of guests, and there were not many vacant places, and no one had the intention of getting up and giving in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As Gu Zhong's voice fell, a Gu servant walked out of his head, and he wanted to lead Shen Zhezi and the others to a remote corner next to the door.

Tao Hong didn't feel anything yet, in the past, he was also used to accompanying the last seat, but this time Shen Zhezi spoke out in support, but it was a lot less embarrassing. He was just about to step to follow into the seat, but found that Shen Zhezi was standing still in place, and after a little hesitation, he also stood and waited for Shen Zhezi to make a statement.

Shen Zhezi glanced at the slightly playful expressions of several young people, stood in place and said to Gu Zhong: "It's not necessary to sit at the table, we still have something to do." Just because the elders were invited, they didn't dare to say goodbye, so they came to visit the meeting and talk about one or two, and now they are about to leave. ”

Face is really given to each other, why does he have to look up to Gu's snort now to be coldly looked at, the old guy feels good about himself, and feels that he can manipulate the juniors in front of him, why should Shen Zhezi take care of his face, after speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Although Shen Mu is a few years older than Shen Zhezi, he has to look at Shen Zhezi's face when he treats people outside. As for Tao Hong, although there was some surprise, since they came together, they naturally had to advance and retreat together, so they turned around together.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhong's face suddenly became gloomy, he really didn't expect this kid to be so faceless. Even at the last seat of his house, not everyone can sit at the door. This kid dared to be resentful and refused to enter the table!

That Zhang Lan was originally still sitting and watching Shen Zhezi take a deflated, and there was no lack of joy on her face, but she also didn't expect the young man's attitude to be so simple and arrogant. By the time he reacted, Shen Zhezi had already taken a few steps. This is really a bit contrary to his imagination, if he allows the other party to leave, who will show this scene today?

Seeing that Gu Zhong's expression was gloomy and he had no intention of opening his mouth to stay as a guest, Zhang Lan could only stubbornly speak: "Virtuous nephew, please stay, since you have come, why rush to go." All of you in the banquet, there are many celebrities in Wuzhong, and it is very rare for ordinary people to meet and ask for advice. Today, if you miss this opportunity, I really feel sorry for the virtuous nephew. ”

Shen Zhezi stopped his steps after hearing this, but he had no intention of returning, he stood in place and said with a smile: "Although what Changshi said is good, it's a pity that I really lack skills today, and as for the details, it's really inconvenient to tell you." There are also many people who are responsible for state affairs, and I hope to be considerate of the disrespect of the younger generations. ”

When everyone heard this, they were full of doubts, what unspeakable big things can a teenager do? However, there are also a few people who subconsciously turn their eyes to Tao Hong, and they can't be indifferent in their hearts.

Especially the owner of this family, Gu Zhong, knows that although Shen Zhezi is young, he has already taken on the history of family affairs. At this time, when I heard Shen Zhezi's words, I thought more about it. Although he looks down on this Tao Hong's humble background, but the other party's grandfather Tao Kan is now one of the most powerful people in the outer court, in charge of Shaanxi, and the children of the two families get together, is there any private collusion?

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Zhong subconsciously sat up straight, and Yu Shou reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "In this way, I took the liberty of pleading, but I was a little abrupt." But now that it's here, you might as well hold for a while. Otherwise, it will not be at ease for me, the master. ”

With Gu Zhong's prestige and status, it is really surprising that he actually said this to a few juniors. Therefore, most of these people in the field had different faces, and a few people who had similar ideas to Gu Zhong couldn't help but think more deeply. As for that Zhang Lan, she was even more restless.

Gu Zhong's words have reached this step, and if he stubbornly asks to go, he will inevitably be a little ignorant. But Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to sit down, and waited until the first seat was vacated, then he turned to Tao Hong and said with a smile: "What does Brother Tao think?" ”

Tao Hong threw himself to the ground at this time for Shen Zhezi's five bodies, he and Shen Zhezi came from Shen Mansion together, and they were just gossiping and greeting before, so there was nothing to do. If he was replaced, he would just be obediently at the mercy of others, but Shen Zhezi changed their seats from the last seat to the guest of honor after a few words.

"Gu Gong's kindness, how dare you resign."

Although he admired Shen Zhezi in his heart, when it was his turn to make a statement, Tao Hong did not dare to ignore Gu Zhong after all, and his tone was somewhat humble.

"In that case, then bother."

Shen Zhezi sat down near Gu Zhong without letting him sit down, motioning for Shen Mu and Tao Hong to sit together, and then smiled at Gu Zhong to show his gratitude.

Gu Zhong was very tired in his heart, but after all, he was the one who spoke out to keep guests, and even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only endure it.

Shen Zhezi knew that today's banquet was not a good banquet, so he was not in a hurry to talk to people after entering the banquet, but just talked and laughed with Shen Mu and Tao Hong. As for Tao Hong, because he rarely attracts attention in such a conspicuous position, he can't be calm, and his demeanor is quite restrained between his words.

Such a gesture of no one made some young people in the hall very dissatisfied, even if someone wanted to embarrass him. But Gu Zhong's previous courteous attitude made them a little uncertain in their hearts, and they didn't dare to point the finger at the other party, and then their attention fell on Zhang Mu in the banquet.

Not long after, a person said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard that Brother Zhang Shicai's name was spread in the inner garden, and even Her Majesty the Queen in the palace issued an edict to praise Ling Zuntang's godson. Brother Zhang Shi's talent and virtue are really a model for us. ”

As soon as this remark came out, many young people in the hall echoed and praised it. This made that Zhang Mu smile and raised his eyebrows. His background and age are better than Shen Zhezi, but he is far from him in terms of fame. Especially after the selection of the emperor's son-in-law, some people in the capital will inevitably compare him with Shen Zhezi, which will inevitably be dwarfed.

Especially when Shen Zhezi was supported by the emperor's imperial edict, even Zhang Mu himself felt a sense of lack of confidence and self-shame when he saw Shen Zhezi. Now that he has been recognized by the nobles, a sense of confidence and pride has arisen. When politely and modestly responding to everyone's praise, his eyes subconsciously turned to Shen Zhezi on the opposite side, but the other party was unaware of it, and he was not moved at all, completely ignoring him, which made Zhang Mu even more dissatisfied.

Zhang Lan felt the change in her nephew's mood, and gently patted him on the knee under the table to signal that she should not be impatient, and then looked at Gu Zhong, her eyes moved slightly, reminding the other party to act according to the plan she had said earlier.

Gu Zhong snorted on the seat, but his eyes turned to other places. Although his family and the Zhang family also have old friendships, they are not very close, and the Zhang family invited him this time, so he agreed. However, there seemed to be a collusion between Tao and Shen, which made his thoughts shake a little.

It is true that the Zhang family can choose the emperor's son-in-law, and Gu Zhong is also happy to see it, but if it is said that he wants to make a lot of effort for the affairs of the Zhang family, this is somewhat unnecessary in Gu Zhong's opinion. After all, the Gu family's clear hope in Wuzhong is unshakable, and no matter which of the Zhang and Shen families is fortunate to be the emperor, it does not have much at stake for his family. Moreover, even the Lu family, who had echoed the Zhang family quite frequently before, has recently begun to make noise, and Gu Zhong really has no reason to force the Zhang family to speak out.

He was more interested in what kind of connection there was between the Tao family and the Shen family now, and before he figured out this issue, he didn't plan to be too anxious about the choice of the emperor's son-in-law.

When Zhang Lan saw Gu Zhong's appearance, she knew in her heart that this old and cunning guy had been shaken, and she couldn't help but hate it. But Gu Zhong didn't plan to speak out, he didn't have anything to do with the other party, because of the old friendship reached a verbal agreement, although the other party repented, but if they were bad with each other because of this, it would be no good for the Zhang family.

Seeing Gu Zhong shrink his head, Zhang Lan could only go into battle in person, he pondered for a long time, and then said with a smile to Shen Zhezi: "A few days ago, I was invited by my nephew to come to the mansion, and I heard about a strange incident. As it happens, I also have a strange thing to share with my nephew today. ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his heart moved, he knew that there was no good banquet today, waiting for the Zhang family to make a move. Listening to Zhang Lan's meaning, it seems that she plans to learn her own methods and repay her body in the other way.

As Zhang Lan spoke, she beckoned to the rear, and a servant of the Zhang family presented a wooden box and placed it on the table in front of Shen Zhezi. Shen Zhezi lowered his head and felt that the style of this wooden box was a little familiar, and it seemed to be built according to the one he used before, and he was happy in his heart, which showed the depth of this Zhang Lan's resentment about his actions the day before yesterday.

He opened the wooden box with a smile, and saw that there were indeed some scrolls placed inside, and unfolded it to take a look, just like the Zhang family's crimes collected by Ji You he had commissioned Ji You earlier, which listed many of the Shen family's bad deeds in Wuxing Township.

If you simply talk about the background, the Shen family will not only not be cleaner than the Zhang family, but will be a few points worse. This can be reflected by the boiling discussion when Shen Zhezi first entered the capital, and now these scrolls in Shen Zhezi's hands are just a list of the bad deeds of the wind and rumors earlier, and at the same time add more detailed descriptions.

While Shen Zhezi lowered his head to read, Zhang Lan smiled and said on the seat: "This wooden box, I don't know who placed it in the front hall of the county government the day before yesterday. Fortunately, it fell into my hands, otherwise the contents of it might have been scattered long ago, and the wind spread in the capital. Most of these records are appalling, although I don't believe it in my heart, I still feel shocked when I look at it, and I am deeply worried about the reputation of the Zunfu! ”

Shen Zhezi smiled slightly after hearing this, and while looking at the file, he replied: "Rumors stop at the wise, since Changshi doesn't believe it, it's just a trivial matter to laugh at, and it can be burned." ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's tone so relaxed, Zhang Lan couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes slightly, this is a big move that his family has been brewing for a long time, and it will be burned? This kid can't help but don't think of himself as an outsider!

Therefore, he said with a smile: "What the virtuous nephew said is true, but I don't know who threw this thing into the county government, nor do I know what this person's intentions are, and I don't know how true or false these messages are, and whether there is anything else in their hands." If the disposal is too rash, the hidden danger is not small, so it is reserved for the virtuous nephew to look at it for self-defense. Otherwise, when these bad deeds are publicized outside, the county government will be forced to pursue it, and it will inevitably hurt the harmony of the two families. ”

Hearing Zhang Lan's threat, Shen Zhezi's eyes flashed slightly, and he was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly turned to one of the crimes, and his expression sank. This crime is not a falsification, but a description of the facts, which is about the Shen family's cooperative, "his family colluded with the township, ruled the people with criminal authority, and harbored different aspirations"!

Seeing that Shen Zhezi's face changed suddenly, no longer as indifferent as at the beginning, Zhang Lan felt a little proud in his heart, in order to collect these materials, his family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, which can be said to hit the key point of the Shen family. If the Shen family still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then they might as well announce it directly to the public, so that their family affairs will be troublesome. Although it will completely offend the Shen family because of this, as long as the family is fortunate to be the emperor's relative, some of the price is worth it.

Gently closing the file, Shen Zhezi's expression was still solemn, but his heart was quite excited, the Zhang family played it by himself, saving him a lot of trouble. At this time, what he wanted to say to Zhang Lan most in his heart was: Lao Tzu's means of playing, your family is really not worthy of playing! Based on this crime alone, once it is announced, the Shen family still has room to turn around, and the Zhang family will definitely die!

These pig brains don't want to think about who is playing the so-called criminal power and ruling the crowd now.
