Chapter 691: Two Confessions, Fish in Net(1/2)

The atmosphere in the lobby became quite quiet because of Mi Yang's scolding words.

In this quiet atmosphere, the faces of Zhang Wen and Zhou Li were really pretty.

The master will humiliate his subjects and die, the master will humiliate his subjects and die!

Although Mi Yang cursed Sun Quan in every sentence, as Sun Quan was the master of Jiangdong, being insulted by Mi Yang in this way made Zhang Wen and Zhou Li feel more uncomfortable than directly scolding Zhang Wen and Zhou Li.

Shame, anger, surprise...

The various expressions on their faces made Zhang Wen and Zhou Li's faces turn blue and white in turns.

Fortunately, Zhang Wen and Zhou Li were in the prime of life, otherwise, if they had been other older Jiangdong celebrities, they would have been scolded by Mi Yang.

After Mi Yang finished cursing for a while, he took a sip of tea from the table to moisten his throat.

Mi Yang originally thought that if Zhang Wen and Zhou Li dared to speak out to excuse Sun Quan, then he would not mind continuing to scold him for a while.

As a high disciple of Fa Zheng, Mi Yang has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child.

Although Mi Yang, who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, cannot write any decent articles, he can quote the classics to criticize shameless people, which has been his strength since he was a child.

But after moistening his throat, Mi Yang still didn't see Zhang Wen and Zhou Li say anything.

The two of them were now like angry Shiba Inu dogs. Although their chests were rising and falling violently, they did not dare to open their mouths any more.

Don't Zhang Wen and Zhou Li want to refute Mi Yang and correct Jiangdong's reputation?

Some things cannot be done just by thinking about it.

Every word Mi Yang scolded Sun Quan was well-founded.

No matter how much Zhang Wen and Zhou Li wanted to refute, they couldn't open their eyes and tell lies.

Zhang Wen and Zhou Li didn't dare to respond, which made Mi Yang secretly say with disdain:

Are you still a celebrity from Jiangdong?

However, the deafening silence between Zhang Wen and Zhou Li also prevented Mi Yang from having another attack.

It seems that Zhang Wen and Zhou Li have made up their minds and do not want to respond to Mi Yang anymore.

After all, Mi Yang has not responded directly to the two points Zhou Li just mentioned, and those two points can also be used as the reason for his current silence.

As long as I'm thick-skinned enough, don't you have to let us go until you lose your patience?

Unfortunately, Zhang Wen and Zhou Li were too naive in their calculations.

Mi Yang could call them two here today, not to scold them.

Mi Yang raised his hand gently, and immediately several Han soldiers rushed in from outside the hall.

Several ferocious Han soldiers suddenly rushed in, startling Zhang Wen and Zhou Li who were sitting in the seats.

At this time, the two of them thought that Mi Yang felt that the scolding was not enough and was going to take action directly.

However, before Zhang Wen and Zhou Li could open their mouths to excuse themselves as envoys, the next scene that appeared in the field made Zhang Wen and Zhou Li freeze in their seats.

After the Han soldiers rushed in, they did not take Zhang Wen and Zhou Li out of the hall.

Their goal is only Zhang Wen.

When Zhang Wen, who was stunned in his original seat, was lifted up by several Han soldiers and led outside the hall, Zhou Li could only react.

Zhou Li stood up in a hurry and said to Mi Yang:

"Zhang Jun is famous all over the world, and he is the envoy of Jiangdong. Is the Grand Sima really not afraid of the world's mouth?"

When Zhou Li said this, he was half anxious and half uneasy.

Although Zhou Li and Zhang Wen are both famous people in Jiangdong, their reputations in Jiangdong in the past are not on the same level. Such a gap makes it difficult to say that there is any friendship between Zhou Li and Zhang Wen.

However, Zhang Wen was an official envoy of the Wu Dynasty and a person whom Sun Quan loved most. Even if Zhou Li had scruples about public and private affairs, he must show his attitude to protect Zhang Wen.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhou Li's words, Mi Yang just smiled and said nothing.

Blatant disregard.

Before Mi Yang could reaffirm his position, Zhang Wen was quickly dragged out of the hall by several Han soldiers.

As a result, Zhou Li could only face Mi Yang by himself in the entire lobby.

Looking at the empty seats next to him, thinking about Zhang Wen's unpredictability, and then thinking about Mi Yang's undisguised look of distaste for Sun Quan just now, Zhou Li felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Who can guarantee that he who is left behind will be the safe one?

The surprise and doubt in his heart, coupled with Mi Yang's behavior of just drinking cup after cup of tea without saying a word, made Zhou Li feel more and more uneasy.

It was obviously a sunny day, but Zhou Li always felt that he was in the hall, as cold as an ice cellar.

Zhou Li is a smart man, and he is also very courageous. This allows him to sometimes rely on a little confidence in his heart to make risky moves like asking Mi Yang just now.

But in essence, Zhou Li and Mi Yang are not equal people, not to mention that Mi Yang's reputation has long been deeply rooted in Zhou Li's heart.

Under the influence of these two aspects, when Mi Yang does not follow common sense and does something that Zhou Yi did not expect, Zhou Yi will inevitably become more and more panicked.

Zhou Li was not very afraid of the Great Sima of the Han Dynasty, nor was he very afraid of General Tiance who was responsible for Liu Bei's last wishes, because the heavier the things on his back, the more constraints he would have.

But Zhou Li was really afraid of Mi Yang, who had just left the country and entered the police force alone.

Although the human heart is complex and changeable, sometimes it is not without traces.

Mi Yang, who was slowly sipping the tea in his hand, was paying attention to Zhou Li's expression.

When he realized that the time was almost ripe, Mi Yang put down the tea cup in his hand.

Not as Zhou Li expected, Mi Yang spoke again with a warm tone:

"Ziyu, do you know why the envoys from the Western Regions rebelled?"

Ziyu is the epitome of Zhou bream.

Zhou Li was surprised to be suddenly addressed by Mi Yang by name. At the same time, the shock and doubt in his heart slowly dissipated.

As for what Mi Yang asked, Zhou Li couldn't give his own opinion.

Because the time is too short.

No matter how smart a person is, any judgment he makes must rely on the support of a lot of intelligence.

Zhou Li had only been in Chang'an for a few days. During these days, he had been in the Sifang Pavilion and had never gone out at all.

He didn't know whether the Han Dynasty had any trouble with the countries in the Western Regions recently, and he didn't know what the character of the people in the Western Regions was like. How should he make a judgment?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In a daze, Zhou Li could only say:

"Maybe it's because the envoys from the Western Regions were deceived by Cao Wei's spies."

This judgment is the thinking of most people in Chang'an City recently.

In order to ensure that he did not say the wrong thing, Zhou Li could only go with the flow.

After hearing Zhou Li's perfunctory answer, Mi Yang was noncommittal.

Mi Yang, who seemed to expect Zhou Li's answer, turned his attention to Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji, who received Mi Yang's gaze, stood up knowingly and came to Zhou Li.

Then under Zhou Li's puzzled gaze, Jiang Ji took out two bloody silk books from his arms and placed them in front of Zhou Li.

"Messenger, please see."

After leaving these words, Jiang Ji left Zhou Li's presence.

When Jiang Ji left, looking at the two bloody silk books on the ground, Zhou Li's curiosity was suddenly aroused to the maximum.

Finally, tempted by curiosity in his heart, Zhou Li reached out and picked up a silk book on the ground and started reading it.

These two silk books are both surviving confessions from envoys in the Western Regions.

In the confession that Zhou Yi picked up right now, the envoys from the Western Regions confessed that they were tempted by Cao Wei's spies and wanted to start an uprising in Chang'an and cause chaos.

Although the confession contained all the signatures of all the persons involved in the case, when Zhou Li took a look at it, he knew that there were many omissions in the contents of the confession.

Not to mention how Cao Wei's spies sneaked into Chang'an and communicated with envoys in the Western Regions for a long time without being discovered.

Just say that if you want the envoys of the Western Regions to rashly rebel while living in Chang'an, how heavy a commitment must be made by Cao Wei?

And what kind of identity should the Cao Wei spy who bears this heavy promise have to win the trust of the envoys in the Western Regions?

However, the identity of the Cao Wei spy was never mentioned in the entire confession, which posed a big problem.

After realizing this, Zhou Li felt even more puzzled.

Among the three auxiliary ministers left by Liu Bei, not to mention Zhang Fei for the moment, Mi Yang and Zhuge Liang are both wise and far-reaching people.

Especially Zhuge Liang, who has been in charge of state affairs for many years. Even he can see that there is something wrong with a confession. It is impossible for Zhuge Liang not to see it.

But if Zhuge Liang really saw it, then why would he let this confession exist in the world?

With doubts in his heart, Zhou Li reached out and picked up the second confession on the ground.

When Zhou Li opened the confession, he noticed at a glance that there were more people marked on it.

Zhou Li was fine at first, but after seeing one sentence in the confession, his eyes instantly opened to their maximum size.
