In Yan Lide's office, Luo Zhang stood proudly. Yan Lide and Yan Liben had gloomy faces and gnashed their teeth. As for Sun Deheng, he was frightened and sat motionless on the ground outside the door, like a dead dog.

At this time, Yan Lide and Yan Liben were like ants on a hot pot. They couldn't guess whether Luo Zhang had caught them, and what happened to the killer. If the killer was not dead, under the severe torture of the City Guards, they were afraid that

They simply can't bear it. Once the killer confesses, not only will their official positions be in jeopardy, but their lives may also be in danger.

Assassinating an official of the imperial court is a serious crime. Even if His Majesty considers their past merits, he will exile them to the savage land of Lingnan. If they go there and say they are alive, it will be no different than dead.

Although Luo Zhang couldn't tell what Yan Lide and Yan Liben were thinking, he could hear their fear of him from their words.

What are they afraid of?

Luo Zhang figured it out as soon as his eyes rolled. His sudden appearance here shocked not only Sun Deheng, but also Yan Lide and Yan Liben. Obviously they didn't know the news from the City Defense Department.

And he appears here, so where is the killer? They don't know that the killer is dead, which means they are worried about the killer being caught?

After thinking about this, Luo Zhang smiled slightly and said: "Yan Lide, Yan Liben, you still haven't confessed your guilt yet? Look at Sun Deheng, he has already confessed, and he also identified you, Yan Liben, saying that you sent someone to assassinate me!

Now the people from the City Defense Department are stepping up their interrogations. As for who to interrogate, you know better than me. Once they interrogate the mastermind, what do you think His Majesty will do?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. Please get out, otherwise I will have you arrested!" Yan Liben said with a guilty conscience.

Outside the door, a group of people naturally heard Yan Liben's guilty words. Although there was no discussion, everyone's eyes looked excited and inexplicable, as if they knew something important.

"You don't know what I'm talking about? Well, let's wait and wait for news from the City Guards Department. If the killer confesses, let's see how you are still standing here!" Luo Zhang said with a playful smile.

"You!!!" Yan Lide's eyes were blazing with rage. If eyes could kill, he would have killed Luo Zhang seventeen or eighteen times. He really didn't expect that Luo Zhang, a man born in the market and a beggar, would be like this.

It was difficult to deal with. I had planned it carefully if I had known it. It was a bit reckless to send someone to assassinate Luo Zhang this time. But no matter what, it has already happened and it is too late to regret it.

"Luo Zhang, don't mess around here. We haven't done what you said at all. Why should we be afraid of the people of the City Guards! Now you forcefully broke into the superintendent's office and injured your colleagues. What crime do you deserve!" Yan Liben

He signaled to his eldest brother to calm down, then turned to Luo Zhang and asked.

"What crime should I be guilty of? Haha, that's none of your business!!" Luo Zhang said nonchalantly.

Faced with Luo Zhang's recklessness, Yan Lide and Yan Liben felt that they had no idea what to say. Luo Zhang was right. Even if Luo Zhang beats someone, even if Luo Zhang forces his way into the superintendent's office, it should be handled by the Chang'an County government office.

, not them, they are the generals, not the yamen.

Yan Liben and Yan Lide looked at each other, and then Yan Liben stepped forward and shouted outside: "What are you looking at? Don't you have to do anything? If you don't want to do it, leave now!"

None of the onlookers had the courage like Luo Zhang. Although they knew that Yan Li originally wanted to get rid of them so that he could discuss with Luo Zhang, they knew what they could do, so why should they not leave?

Yan Liben and Yan Lide haven't fallen yet. They still have the final say here. If they offend them and let them go to jail, they won't even have time to cry.

All of a sudden, everyone dispersed like wild animals, and everyone who had been surrounding the Grand Supervisor's Office suddenly disappeared. Except for the stupid Sun Deheng, there was no one outside the door.

Seeing everyone leaving, Yan Liben breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Luo Zhang and said, "What do you want?"

"What do I want? It's my turn to ask you this, right? Let's open the skylight and speak openly. You and I have no grudges at all. Could it be that you sent someone to kill me just because of Sun Deheng's incident? I'm afraid this is not in line with you, Yan Liben.

The way to be an official, right?" Old God Luo Zhang said calmly, not showing any signs of weakness because of Yan Liben's identity.

Yan Liben glanced at his elder brother, Yan Lide nodded, and Yan Liben said: "Since I sent people to attack you but failed, then this matter will be wiped out from now on, and the feud between your Luo family and my Yan family will be ended!"

Luo Zhang raised his eyebrows and said: "The hatred between the Luo family and the Yan family? No wonder, let me just say, how could a Sun Deheng allow you, Yan Liben, to send people to kill me with so much force? It turns out that there are also people from the previous generation mixed in.

Grudges."

"But if you say you can write it off in one stroke, wouldn't I be easy to bully?"

"That was an assassination. You know, I almost lost my life. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape. Otherwise, I might be really dead now!"

At the end of the sentence, Luo Zhang's eyes showed a cold light. Yan Li originally wanted to kill him. At this time, he also wanted to kill these two people, but he knew that this was impossible.

If the killer hadn't died, maybe the two of them could be cured of their crimes, but now that the killer is dead, he has no trump card. Until now, Luo Zhang was just deceiving these two people. What if they knew that the killer was dead?

I would chat with him for a long time.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Yan Lide calmed down at this time. He also saw that Luo Zhang came here just to negotiate terms, not to break up with them, otherwise he would not be here with them.

After saying so much, he went directly to the Chang'an County government office to sue them. He even guessed that the killer was dead, but this was just a guess. He couldn't figure out Luo Zhang's background.

It would be fine if they guessed right, but if they guessed wrong and went against Luo Zhang, they would be the ones who ultimately failed.

Rather than losing both sides, it's better to have a good talk.

Yan Liben was slightly startled when he heard his elder brother's words. He was not an idiot, and he naturally thought of what his elder brother was thinking. However, since the elder brother had spoken, there was no need for him to say anything more and just wait for Luo Zhang to make the conditions.

"That's what's good about talking to smart people, it's clear. The old fox is indeed an old fox!"

"My requests are very simple. In short, there are three. First, our dock department has been in disrepair for a long time and needs a sum of money to repair it." Luo Zhang said, holding out a finger.

"This is no problem. I can immediately allocate funds and send someone to your dock department to repair it!"

After hearing Luo Zhang's first condition, Yan Lide and Yan Liben breathed a sigh of relief. Such a simple condition was just something they could talk about, and they didn't need to spend a penny. However, there were two other things they didn't know what they were.

"Secondly, from today on, you will be a prisoner and have no right to interfere with any matters of our Dockyard Department. Of course, the monthly quota must be three times the usual! And you must not deduct the expenses required by our Dockyard Department. You must promptly

Transfer it to me!" Luo Zhang stretched out his second finger and said.

"That's no problem!" Yan Lide nodded and agreed. Again, this is within his authority. It's just to give some resources to the Dockyard Department. The Dockyard Department only has a few people. It's no big deal. If Du

But with this condition, even if Luo Zhang proposed two more things, he would agree.

"Thirdly, I need five hundred craftsmen, five hundred workers to build something for me. Of course, you must pay the wages of these craftsmen and workers, that's all!"

"Although I don't know what the grievances between my Luo family and your Yan family are, as long as you fulfill these three things, the grievances between our two families will be wiped out from now on as you said!" Luo Zhang said with his third finger.

Yan Lide and Yan Liben looked at each other. The first two are easy to talk about, but the third one is not easy to deal with. Five hundred craftsmen, five hundred workers, so many people are enough to build a large palace, and the daily expenses are quite high.

Although they didn't know what Luo Zhang wanted to build, since he had said this, it would definitely take a long time to build it. It wouldn't be a big deal in a short time, but if it took too long, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

After all, the general as a prisoner does not belong to their family. Some money can be allocated, but if it is too much, the Ministry of Household Affairs will ask about it. But what do they say? Explain that the money and people are given to Luo Zhang to build things? Doesn’t that mean there is no place here?
