Tian Ji sat in the main seat, narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Shaojie in the field, and nodded secretly. In his opinion, Zhang Shaojie was a highly skilled martial artist, but also unreasonable and had almost no scheming, so he was worth winning over.
The current situation is complicated, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. One more helper around him means one more chance of survival. In recent days, he has recruited many people with extraordinary martial arts skills.
Thinking of the current situation, he had a headache. Although the Zheng family was temporarily friendly with him due to pressure from the imperial envoy, the relationship between the two families was very unstable. For example, if the imperial envoy stopped going south,
, or stop killing officials wantonly, then the Zheng family will definitely distance themselves from him as soon as possible.
After all, the two families had had many conflicts before.
Moreover, when it comes to being an official, he knows that he is more evil and greedy than Zheng Sheng!
Therefore, he was very worried that the imperial envoy would relax the conditions for beheading and revoking his official position in the coming days. By then, Zheng Sheng would be less greedy and would naturally stop thinking about rebellion. Not only had he been greedy for a lot of money,
, there are dozens of lives under his hands, and there is absolutely no possibility of being pardoned.
Once the Zheng family withdraws, how can he, a civil servant, compete with Zheng Sheng's hundreds of thousands of troops? By then, he will undoubtedly die.
Also, even if Zheng Sheng was forced by the imperial envoy in the future and rebelled with him, he would still be in dire straits. In the past, he was always proud that his official position was one level higher than Zheng Sheng's, but now, it is
He was very envious of the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. When faced with danger, he still needed to have military power, so he had secretly recruited sergeants to accumulate strength.
While he was thinking about it, the guard was forced to retreat step by step. This guard was not stupid. He knew what it would mean if he lost this competition!
After taking a few steps back, he gritted his steel teeth and suddenly let out a low drink. No longer resisting Zhang Shaojie's attack, he suddenly took a step forward and stabbed Zhang Shaojie's chest with the long sword in his hand.
Zhang Shaojie didn't expect that the other party would cheat, and actually used the same-death trick. He quickly sheathed his sword and retreated, dodging the blow, and the offensive came to a halt. Seeing this, the guard knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, swung his sword and used all his strength.
, no longer holding back.
For the sake of his future, this guard used all kinds of moves in a desperate manner!
Zhang Shaojie's movement skills are changeable, agile and flexible. He took a few steps back and dodged all the opponent's attacks. Then he became furious. It's not like he has never killed anyone before. On the contrary, at a young age, he is quite impulsive and quite bloody.
, seeing that his opponent was serious, he stopped being polite and abandoned the fancy moves he had deliberately shown off before. Qing Feng swung and used several vicious moves in succession.
‘Silk, silk!’ The guard couldn’t avoid it, and there were two half-foot-long holes on his chest.
"Ah! Die!" the guard roared, his eyes red, like a wounded beast, and he pounced towards Zhang Shaojie!
A person who is petty is not a gentleman, and a person who is not poisonous is not a husband!
Zhang Shaojie was not a merciful master. He suddenly struck the guard's long sword with his sword. With a "Bang!" sound, the guard's mouth burst and he retreated one after another. Zhang Shaojie took the opportunity to rush forward a few steps, holding a sword flower in his hand.
Bringing up a cloud of blood mist.
"ah"
The guard suddenly let out a scream, covered the wound with his left hand, and rolled down on the ground.
The officials surrounding him all took a breath of cold air, but it turned out that Zhang Shaojie flashed his sword and cut off the guard's right wrist!
'This guy is not very young, but his heart is quite vicious!'
Several officials looked at each other and began to be wary of Zhang Shaojie.
"Sir, I made a mistake in my humble duty, please punish me!" Tian Ji had said it himself before, but now that Zhang Shaojie had hurt someone, he naturally had to step forward to plead guilty.
Tian Ji has such a sharp eyesight, how could he not tell whether Zhang Shaojie did it on purpose?
However, he only cares about who is stronger and who is more useful. He gave Zhang Shaojie a weak hand and motioned for Zhang Shaojie to stand up and said: "It is inevitable that you two will miss in a real sword and gun competition. Someone will come and kill this person."
Pull him down and find a famous doctor to treat his injuries!"
After that, Tian Ji stopped looking at the guard and turned around and walked back to the study. All the officials quickly raised their legs to follow. Zhang Shaojie was walking at the back. Several servants of the Tian Mansion hurried forward and took care of him.
The severed hand picked it up, brought a bucket, and wiped the blood stains on the floor clean. After a while, the water stains evaporated, and everything returned to the same state as before, as if nothing had happened here.
Arriving at the study room, Tian Ji became obviously warmer and asked his servants to bring a chair to Zhang Shaojie. Zhang Shaojie was flattered and thanked him repeatedly, while at the same time he was overjoyed.
"Shaojie, since you are on good terms with the Wang Tian family, you are my confidant. I would like to ask you what you think about Wang Meng's assassination."
The word "confidant" in Tian Ji's mouth made Zhang Shaojie very excited. He finally got rid of Wang Meng and found a more powerful backer. He cupped his fists and saluted, and replied: "Sir, I thought that Mr. Wang was assassinated by a gangster.
It has nothing to do with the Lin family in Luocheng!"
"Oh? Why?" Tian Ji asked again.
Zhang Shaojie knew that the officials here were all Tian Ji's confidants, so he said without hesitation: "Judging from his humble position, Lin Jingzhi, the head of the Lin family, has long sensed that Lord Wang wants to harm the Lin family, so he has already planned it in advance.
In order to be on guard, he knew that the Lin family could not clear up the case and get rid of it under the favor of Mr. Wang, so he was willing to take the risk and hire someone to assassinate him! And..."
Having said this, a trace of hesitation appeared on Zhang Shaojie's face.
Tian Ji noticed something fishy and said in a deep voice: "And what? Say what you have to say, don't hide it!"
"Yes!" Zhang Shaojie was shocked. He quickly stood up from his chair and knelt down on one knee. "And the assassin who took the lead is a junior fellow apprentice who holds a humble position!"
Next, Zhang Shaojie briefly explained the relationship between Aunt Yu, Hong Feng and the Lin family.
The relationship between these people is quite complicated. After hearing this, Tian Ji said coldly: "Shaojie, this world is very realistic. Sometimes if you want to have rights and status, you have to give up some things. Do you understand?"
"I understand this humble position!" Zhang Shaojie lowered his head, with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Okay, just understand. Sit down and talk." For a young man like Zhang Shaojie who has an unstable position, Tian Ji has encountered too many situations, so he is not afraid that Zhang Shaojie will not work hard for him. "Then in your opinion, how can we solve the problem as soon as possible?"
Will the Lin family take it?"
Young people are often simple-minded and think about things without regard for the consequences. In addition, Zhang Shaojie didn't know much about the laws of the Daqian Dynasty. He frowned slightly and replied: "My lord, I think I can take the king directly."
Your Excellency was arrested for assassinating Lin Jingzhi, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that a person with a low-level job can't defeat the master... Well, I can't defeat Hong Feng and Yu Hongniang. I need a helper with good martial arts skills!" dd
