Xi Zhicai was good at observing people's words. At first, he was able to laugh and chat with Zhu Hansan because he could see that he cherished his talent. Now after hearing Zhu Hansan's cold words, he couldn't help but shudder. Although Zhu Hansan said it with a smile,
But Xi Zhicai believed that he could definitely do it, and he immediately exclaimed: "Master Zhu, you are also an official of the imperial court, how can you do such a despicable thing? Aren't you afraid of the ridicule of the world?"
"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, and if the person who does it doesn't tell you, who will know? Even if you tell me, who will believe it?"
Seeing that Xi Zhicai's tone was a little relaxed, Zhu Hansan suddenly became worried and said in a deep voice: "Zhicai, you have a unique vision that is not comparable to ordinary people. You should be able to guess what Ma Yuanyi and the others want to do, otherwise you wouldn't be able to
You are so resistant to my solicitation, but let me tell you, there are so many capable people and strangers in the world, but you are not the only one who is smart. Why do everyone keep silent? Or maybe this matter has not reached the ears of the emperor until now.
"Chong, do you think you are the only smart one in the world? Everyone is stupid?"
"Master Zhu, I'm just a commoner. I don't understand those big principles, and I don't want to hear them."
Xi Zhicai's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes continued to dodge. He seemed to be frightened by Zhu Hansan's words, and he kept smiling bitterly.
"Hey, we are all smart people. I won't hide it anymore. You have great talents and I have great ambitions. Now God allows us to meet here. What does this mean? It means that in this dark place, there is something.
Tianding, if you didn't say these words to me, I would only think that you are a young man with good eloquence, but you have said so much to me. As the saying goes, too much words lead to mistakes, and I can see your point.
I’ll tell you what’s wrong with me! If he is my person, we will all be brothers. From now on, I will live well and everyone will be happy together. If he is not my person, then I will try my best to turn him into mine.
If a person cannot be changed, then he is an enemy. If I can’t get someone, no one else can get one, and I won’t hesitate to destroy him.”
Once Zhu Hansan's ruffian character was revealed, not to mention how powerful he was, his overbearing words made Xi Zhicai feel like he had fallen into a deep hole, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Master Zhu, why are you so hard on me? I came from a humble background and only attended Yingchuan Academy for a few months. How can I have any talents? Even if I went to Jizhou with you, it would be just us three children? What more?
What can be accomplished?”
Xi Zhicai was silent for a long time. What Zhu Hansan just said had a great impact on him. Suddenly, he felt that he was facing a fierce and wise wolf king, with his fierce eyes, bloodthirsty fangs, and intimidating momentum.
Xi Zhi was so stressed that he could hardly breathe.
"How many men do you want? As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Wen, I have your talent and talent to complement you. Wu, I have Zhang Wenyuan to protect you. Jingxian County is only a palm-sized place, which is enough.
As for other mediocre people, it is useless no matter how many we recruit."
Zhu Hansan stood up and patted Xi Zhicai, who was a little lost. He smiled heroically and said: "Although I can't help myself now, I believe that in the near future, I will be able to dominate all this. Those who look like savage beasts to you,
In my eyes, they are just arms that help me jump over the dragon's gate."
"Master Zhu, do you really think so?"
Xi Zhicai was surprised and asked uncertainly: "Those intricate and powerful forces will not allow you to rise."
"What's the point? A few months ago, I was just a part-time worker in Zhang's Mansion in Jingxian County. Who could have guessed that a few months later, I would become a county leader in Jingxian County?"

Zhu Hansan stared at Xi Zhicai with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Others don't know the value of Xi Zhicai, but I know that only by following me can you truly show your talents. Just believe me once.
If in the end you still feel that I, Zhu Hansan, am not the master of the Ming Dynasty, then you can leave, and I will never stop you at that time."
"Okay, then I will go to Jizhou with you and see how you get out of the predicament and jump over the dragon's gate."
Xi Zhicai felt a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to follow Zhu Hansan to Jizhou.
"Don't worry, you will never regret today's decision in the future!" Zhu Hansan grinned, took Xi Zhicai's hand and smiled happily: "With your help from Xi Zhicai, what else can't you solve?
I trust you."
"Since your Excellency has decided to go to Jingxian County to take office, it is better to make plans early. The Anping Kingdom belongs to Liu Xu's fiefdom, and most of the tax revenue has to be turned over to the palace. If there is no money, how can we recruit people? If there is no land, what should you do, sir?"
How to implement benevolent government? If we don’t have power, wouldn’t we be just a piece of meat and be slaughtered by others? Brother Wenyuan’s martial arts are good, but he is only one person. Even if I have all kinds of abilities, it is difficult for me to deal with these problems personally.
, Sir, have you ever thought about it?"
Xi Zhicai took a deep breath, and like a barrage of firecrackers, he poured out a lot of questions to Zhu Hansan, and each of them was urgent. If he was not careful, Zhu Hansan, who was walking on the tightrope, would fall into the doomed place.
land.
"What about this?" Zhu Hansan was stunned for a while after hearing this. He stroked his short beard and frowned for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Why don't we come and discuss what we should have for dinner?"
"Sir, Brother Xi is talking to you about something serious!"
Zhang Liao was waiting for the next chapter with great interest, but he didn't expect that after Zhu Hansan had been holding it in for a long time, he actually let out such a big stinky fart. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and almost stepped forward to pry open Zhu Hansan's Tianling cover and take a look for himself.
Even Xi Zhicai was so choked by Zhu Hansan's words that he almost breathed his last. He glanced angrily at Zhu Hansan who was sitting there laughing and looked away.
"What? You think what I said is a lie? Now it is your eldest brother and I hold the appointment documents from the court. It is also your eldest brother that I am the authentic magistrate of Jingxian County. I should give Liu Yao a headache if he should, right?
You haven't even made a move yet, so you're just putting on makeup and waiting to act?"
After Zhu Hansan put a chestnut on the forehead of both of them, he thought: "Think about it, what should we eat for lunch? How about stewing an old hen and a bowl of braised meat?"
After Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, they both shook their heads helplessly and began to regret in their hearts that they had fallen in love with such a master.
"You don't want to say that, right? Then it's settled, we will set off immediately after lunch and return to Jingxian County."
Zhu Hansan chuckled and walked out of the room, ready to order food.
Xi Zhicai silently watched Zhu Hansan's retreating back. After a long time, he smiled bitterly at Zhang Liao and said: "How can there be such a shameless person in the world? Just now, he was full of ambition and meant for the world. Now let's discuss it with us.
What should I eat for lunch? Is this something he should worry about?"
"This..." "That..." Zhang Liao was young and couldn't bear the look of resentful women. He scratched here and there, "Brother, please wait here. I'll go see the boss."
Is there anything you need my help with?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"This... who are these people?"
Seeing Zhang Liao fleeing, Xi Zhicai suddenly felt like crying and regretted his decision.
When Zhu Hansan was eating and drinking in a wine shop with his two younger brothers, little did he know that in a house a few streets away from here, Tang Zhou, who had just returned home, actually learned from his subordinates the reason why Zhu Hansan rejected his invitation in the morning.
To treat a poor scholar to a drink.
"Is this true?"
Tang Zhou was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead jumped. He gritted his teeth and asked.
"You dare not deceive your honorable envoy! Zhu Hansan and his party are still eating, drinking and making money at this time!"
The servant knelt on the ground, lowered his head and replied.
"Okay...okay! Very good!"
Tang Zhou's chest rose and fell violently, showing that he was very angry at the news. His eyes were gloomy and he ordered without thinking: "Go and call Pei Yuanshao."
"Your Majesty, Pei Yuanshao was born a bandit and is wild and untamed. He has just surrendered and if he is entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, he may cause trouble!"
The servant replied softly.
"Tang Quan, why don't you even listen to me? Do you want to join Ma Yuanyi's disciples?"
Tang Zhou was furious, pointed at the door and shouted: "If you want to go, I won't stop you, get out now!"
"The villain dare not!"
Tang Quan was startled and quickly bowed and replied.
"If you don't dare, call me Pei Yuanshao right away!"
Tang Zhou kicked Tang Quan and then cursed: "If you delay my business, be careful I will chop you up alive!"
"Yes, yes, yes, little man, go right now!"
Tang Quan rolled away and crawled to the ground.
Not long after, I saw a man with a strong build and an unruly face walking in behind Tang Quan. This man was Pei Yuanshao, the bandit leader of Wo Niu Mountain.
"I don't know what you mean by calling me here?"
Pei Yuanshao didn't like Tang Zhou's behavior from the bottom of his heart, but since he was Zhang Jiao's disciple, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Master Pei Zhuang is here! Please sit down."
Tang Zhou stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
"No need, please tell me what's going on?"
Pei Yuanshao just stood there calmly and asked lightly.
"Okay, Pei Zhuangshi is really quick and cheerful, so I won't hide it from you. I want Pei Zhuangshi to intercept and kill someone."
Tang Zhou said sinisterly: "As long as Pei Zhuangshi can do this, how about I introduce Pei Zhuangshi to your respected master immediately?"
"Okay! Is there only one person on the other side?"
Pei Yuanshao was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was cautious and asked.
"This person's name is Zhu Hansan. He is surrounded by twenty or thirty guards. He is still in the city at the moment. Wait until they leave the city, Pei Zhuangshi, before you take action!"
Tang Zhou chuckled.
"Okay! Let your people take me to identify the person first."
Pei Yuanshao didn't delay, nodded and agreed before saying goodbye and leaving.
"Tang Quan, take Pei Zhuangshi to recognize the servant first."
Tang Zhou ordered with a smile.
"Very good, you all are ignoring me, don't regret it when the time comes!"
After the two left, Tang Zhou turned from sunny to cloudy. His face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. He kicked over the flower stand next to him and cursed.
