Chapter 2329 Unwarranted Justice


    While various conspiracies and struggles began in Sichuan and Shu, there was a place in Chengdu that was always quiet.


    This kind of silence is like a person sinking in water. Although there are clearly sounds and movements around, it is blurry and there is a layer of separation. It is like another world, no matter how it is in Chengdu. Prosperity, no matter how prosperous Sichuan and Shu are, seems to have nothing to do with this place.


    ?The seemingly endless freedom and joy before were far away from me. Those feasts and wines were like passing clouds. Everything seemed to have lost its meaning. All that was left was life.


    Just, live.


    Abandon the past and start over. It sounds simple, but is it easy to do...


    It’s not that Liu Zhang didn’t work hard, but he found that all his efforts would be met with ridicule, and all his efforts seemed to be in vain.


    When writing a document, someone will check it again and again. If you do something, someone will look at you coldly and with hostility. Even if you do nothing, just sitting there will attract whispers and meaningful looks.


    "This guy is so disgusting..."


    "What else can you do besides causing trouble for others..."


    This is what ordinary people are mumbling, and the voice is relatively quiet.


    "The lambs, furs, and leopards are eliminated, and oneself lives in one''s own home..."


    『Hey hey, hey hey...』


    『Lamb''s skin, five pieces of plain silk...』


    Hee hee, hee hee...』


    ?This type of voice is louder and then swaggers away.


    Liu Zhang retreated again and again, retreating again and again. He originally thought that he could hide in his own yard, but in fact it was of no use. Even if Liu Zhang didn''t go out every day, people would still come to his door.


    You can’t just say that you can’t move without eating or drinking? So where do the food and drink expenses come from? Don’t you want to go out to buy and collect? At the beginning, Liu Zhang was under house arrest, and Fei Qian sent people to deliver everything. But after he was released, Liu Zhang felt that he was not as good as before. At least he would not be laughed at or bullied when he was delivered, and there would be no What a deduction.


    ?Then when the house arrest ended and Liu Zhang began to be able to walk around, he found that no matter what the situation, he was despised, deducted, and even made things difficult for no reason.


    These people and these things were something Liu Zhang had never encountered since he was a child, and no one had ever taught him what to do if he encountered these things.


    As someone said, when a brave man is angry, he draws his sword against the stronger; when a timid man is angry, he draws his sword against the weaker. The same is true in another aspect. The brave will get the pleasure of conquering from the strong, while the timid will get the pleasure of bullying from the weak.


    In such an inexplicably gloomy atmosphere, the days passed day by day. Liu Zhang felt so depressed that he couldn''t breathe, as if he was surrounded by invisible water, immersing him in it, and oppressing him pervasively.


    Liu Zhang no longer goes to official houses these days.


    Most of the original servants in the small courtyard who could leave have left. There are only two or three old servants who have followed Liu Yan since his time. I don''t know if it is because of loyalty or because they are as helpless as Liu Zhang. There is nowhere to go, but to stay.


    The fallen leaves in the courtyard were already covered with a layer of fallen leaves. Liu Zhang sighed, found a broom from the corner, and moved it across the courtyard.


    During these days, Liu Zhang learned to sweep the floor, cook, wash clothes and other things he had never done before. Then he also understood the heat of summer and the cold of winter. And when the smoke made him unable to breathe, he would also Recalling the glory of the past, thinking of his parents, and then silently shed tears.


    As for the things outside the window, Liu Zhang didn''t want to pay attention to them, and he didn''t care much about them. But it didn''t mean that he didn''t care because he didn''t want to care about it. Just like when he didn''t want to lose, he would still lose it. There are always some things that he would find. On his head...


    On this day, an uninvited guest knocked on Liu Zhang''s courtyard door while he was cleaning the courtyard.


    ?At the beginning, although Liu Zhang heard the sound, he didn''t care yet and didn''t want to pay attention to it. Liu Zhang thought that someone was coming to find trouble again, so he held back his anger and slowly pulled the fallen leaves.


    Winter has come, and there are more and more fallen leaves in the yard day by day. If you don’t sweep them for a day, they will be everywhere. When the wind blows, they will spin and dance in the yard...


    ?Perhaps we should follow Fei Qian back to Chang''an before?


    have no idea.


    ??The old servant came to the yard tremblingly and said: "Langjun, a merchant has brought some rice and noodles... He said that Langjun ordered it..."


    Liu Zhang was stunned and stopped, "Did I order it?" Could it be a mistake? 』


    Liu Zhang put down the broom in his hand, then turned around the screen wall. When he saw the "merchant" at the entrance of the courtyard, his eyes narrowed slightly.


    This is not a merchant...


    ??Although Liu Zhang is not a person with amazing intelligence, he still has the basic knowledge to identify people. A merchant who travels around all year round cannot have such neat and white clothes and skin color...


    Who are you? Why come here? Liu Zhang asked.


    Meet Mr. Liu! "The visitor bowed respectfully and said, "It''s very inconvenient to speak here... I don''t know if it''s okay..."


    Liu Zhang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, if it''s inconvenient, please take it back... These rice noodles are not what I ordered, so please take them back..."


    『Liu Shijun, please stop here for a moment! "The visitor took half a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, here and now, I feel so sad that "there is Si in the river, my son will return"... How sad it would be if I, your Majesty, were here! 』


    Liu Zhang stopped and looked back at the person coming, "Who are you?" 』


    『Can you…』 The person came slightly gestured.


    Liu Zhang took a breath, nodded and said, "Please." 』


    …(;￢＿￢)…


    On the other side, Wu Yi had not slept peacefully for quite some time, and was a little tired. After eating preserved meat that day, he felt sleepy. When he was about to rest, a servant came and said that Wu Ban had arrived. .


    ??Wu Yiqiang stood up. After meeting, he never thought that Wu Ban''s first words would make Wu Yi startled!


    『Someone heard that Xu Yuanzhi wanted to commit rebellion! 』


    "What? ! ” Wu Yi’s eyes widened, and the previous difficulties seemed to disappear at this moment.


    After being stunned for a few seconds, Wu Yi hurriedly stood up, carefully arrived in front of the hall, looked around, and once again ordered no one to approach, then walked back and sat down, "What happened?" Tell me in detail! 』


    “Brother, I heard that Fa Xiaozhi arrested Zhuge Kongming in Jiange Mountain, and he will be sent to Chengdu in the near future for trial! "Wu Ban whispered, his voice was not loud, but the information contained in it exploded on Wu Yi''s head like rolling thunder, "It seems to be punishing Zhuge Kongming for neglecting the army, I''m afraid..."


    ?Wu Yi stared, "Is this serious? How do you know that? 』


    "It was reported that soldiers were going to the sword pavilion to transport supplies..." Wu Ban said in a low voice, "A certain person was very surprised when he heard about it at first. He asked someone to investigate and said that someone saw it with his own eyes..."


    See it with your own eyes? ” Wu Yi said.


    "Exactly," Wu Ban nodded and said, "Now the person in charge in the Jiange is Fa Xiaozhi... Zhuge Kongming has not seen him for many days, and he may have been under house arrest..."


    "This...this..." Wu Yi pinched the beard on his chin, "I always feel a little weird...it''s not possible?" 』


    ??Wu Ban said: "I didn''t believe it at first, but then I thought about it...this Wei Wenchang...has not been seen for many days..."


    ‘Didn’t you hear that you went to Micang Road? ” Wu Yi blurted out, and then seemed to think of something. After being stunned for a moment, he said, “You mean...”


    "That''s right..." Wu Ban took a deep breath and said, "Where did Wei Wenchang go? Xu Yuanzhi kept this secret. Although there are rumors from the outside world, it may not be true... If Wei Wenchang did not go to Micang Road, why did Xu Yuanzhi do it at this time? Not letting people go? Thinking about it on the other hand, if Wei Wenchang did launch a surprise attack on Hanzhong, why was there no follow-up reinforcements, but Brazil was the one to quell the rebellion? Is this Brazilian rebellion real, or is it..."


    ‘Hiss…’ Wu Yi took a breath, ‘When you say that…’


    There was a sudden silence between the two people.


    After a while, Wu Yi suddenly said, "Something still doesn''t make sense..."


    ??Wu Ban also nodded, "That''s why I was confused, so I came to ask my brother for advice." 』


    The night has gradually deepened, and everything seems to be shrouded in shadow, revealing his appearance that was absolutely invisible during the day... "Huh?" ! "Wu Yi was suddenly startled, and his body became slightly stiff.


    ?Wu Ban glanced over, and then moved his eyebrows slightly.


    ‘If…’ Wu Yi swallowed his saliva, ‘Xu Yuanzhi is by no means an ordinary person…’


    ‘Well…that’s true…’ Wu Ban nodded.


    After Fei Qian returned to Chang''an, Xu Shu was responsible for the operation of the entire Sichuan and Shu. It can be said that he was in an orderly manner, and he also successfully increased the yield per acre and generated income. Business was booming, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people''s livelihood and political affairs in Sichuan and Shu were generally well understood. This is not just sitting there. There is nothing to do there, or it can be done by people without some skills and methods.


    Therefore, there is no objection to saying that Xu Shu is intelligent and resourceful.


    "So...if these unexplainable places..." Wu Yi''s voice became lower and lower, "Are these...flaws left deliberately?" 』


    "deliberately? flaw? ” Wu Ban seemed to have thought of something, but he felt a little headache, “So...Xu Yuanzhi...”


    ?Wu Yi frowned and was silent.


    ??Yes, from some aspects, Xu Shu''s rebellion is indeed not so logical, nor does it seem to be in harmony with heaven and earth, let alone a popular foundation and support from all people...


    But the question is, among those who have fought for independence or separatism in Sichuan and Sichuan in recent years, which one has complied with God''s will and only reluctantly walked to the stage after gaining the support of all the people? Not at all! The one who comes uninvited and acts as a guest, which one is the one who abides by the rules?


    So if Xu Shu really wants to rebel, these so-called "natural things" are actually not that important. As long as he succeeds, everything is natural. As for not succeeding, if he doesn''t succeed, even if there is some "reason", how can the crime be reduced? What?


    ?So from this perspective, Xu Shu''s current unreasonable behavior seems to be reasonable, and it is impossible for Xu Shu to use these unreasonable things to cover up his behavior...


    "So, Xu Yuanzhi insisted on letting Zhuge Kongming lead the army... and imprisoned Wei Wenchang..." Wu Ban slapped his thigh, "Now he doesn''t care about the chaos in Hanzhong, and just talks about the rebellion of the Brazilians and the Di people... This , this guy...is doing such a disobedient act just to...conspire against him? 』


    ?Wu Yi sighed.


    "Brother..." Wu Ban stepped forward and said, "If...it''s really...we..."


    Wu Yi pressed his forehead and said, "Let me think about it...let me think about it again..."


    …彡(-_-;)彡…


    In the night wind, Gan Ning smelled a scent full of temptation.


    Although the person is still upright, his nose and head are already crooked to one side...


    ??Gan Ning sniffed it and found out that it was coming from the courtyard next door. Without saying a word, he gave a little run and put his hands on the wall, revealing a head.


    Since a distinguished guest is here, why not drink together? 』


    In the courtyard next door, a man who looked like a scribe raised his wine glass with a smile.


    The scribe''s surname was Li. He moved here recently. He had met Gan Ning several times and had a drink with him once, so he was not completely a stranger.


    Gan Ning sniffed and said, "This wine...is it Drunken Immortal Wine?" ! 』


    “Hahaha, that’s right,” Li’s scribe smiled and said, “Would you like to drink together?” 』


    Gan Ning''s eyes wandered twice, "Since the master invited me, I''m not welcome..." He climbed over the courtyard wall without using a ladder and just used his hands hard.


    ???Although the place where Gan Ning lives has its own courtyard, it is not a large courtyard with a deep residence. Is this the main reason? Haha...


    I won’t mention it anymore.


    ?Hence, the yards of Gan Ning and the scribe Li were actually side by side, somewhat similar to the townhouses of later generations, with only a fence separating them.


    Li''s scribe was stunned for a moment when he saw Gan Ning climbing over the wall. Then he laughed and ordered his servants to light two more lanterns, then spread the mat and get the tableware for Gan Ning...


    ?Gan Ning leaned over to the wine jar and took a deep breath of the wine.


    These days, because on the one hand Gan Ning owed a lot of money, and on the other hand Wei Yan also left, there was naturally no wine to drink. When Gan Ning smelled the wine, almost every part of his body was filled with excitement. Shivering, smiling like a Erha, all he had to do was flick his tongue around.


    Come on, please! You''re welcome! ” the scribe said with a smile.


    Gan Ning bowed his hand in thanks, sat down without ceremony, drank after taking it, and then breathed out a breath of wine, "Good wine!" Hahaha! What a wine! 』


    Hahaha, General Wen Gan is so bold and generous, he really deserves his reputation! Come on, little brother, give the general another drink! ” The scribe smiled and raised his glass to invite me again.


    ??Ganning is a drink that you can drink as soon as the cup comes, without any ambiguity.


    After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.


    ??Li''s scholar laughed and said, "I heard someone in the clan rumored that General Gan owes some money to a restaurant?" 』


    ??Gan Ning''s eyelids twitched slightly, then he chuckled and put down his wine glass, "Could it be that...you came to collect a debt from someone?" 』


    Scribe Li laughed, shook his head and said, "No." Although the restaurant belongs to the clan, I haven''t received any of it, so why bother taking over the job? 』


    ?Gan Ning laughed.


    "It''s just that if there is something... I can spare my money..." Li''s scribe said with a smile, "But I wonder if General Gan is willing to give it a try?" 』


    ??Gan Ning raised his eyes slightly and stared at Scholar Li, "Let''s talk and listen." 』


    "Ahem," Li''s scribe cleared his throat, and then said, "so that General Gan can know that since General Hussar entered Sichuan, everyone in the clan has looked up to him as the head of Hussar, and even more so. I always keep my kindness in mind, and I don’t know how to repay Qiao Qi’s kindness..."


    ?Gan Ning was slightly startled, feeling a little confused. What does this mean?


    “Now that Hanzhong has rebelled and betrayed its trust, it has wasted its love for the mountains, and it has betrayed the kindness of the world. Every time I think about it, I wish I could go to the battle line in person, quell the rebels, and repay the Husbands!” 』


    ?Seeing Li Shi''s words becoming more and more impassioned, Gan Ning couldn''t help but widen his eyes. He didn''t know what to say for a moment, "This... is not bad, not bad..."


    But now...now, hey! Li''s scribe sighed for a long time, "There are many rumors in the countryside, but I didn''t believe them at first... Thinking about the people in the countryside, the ridiculous words are not enough to be believed... It''s a pity, this, alas, this Xu Shijun... This Lord Xu...sigh..."


    “…” Gan Ningba smacked his lips, feeling as if he had swallowed something in his throat. He couldn’t spit it out, couldn’t swallow it, and couldn’t swallow it. It was very uncomfortable. These guys, no, this Guanghan Li family, actually supports the Hussars General so much? How come I didn''t know this before? Is it because I am ignorant, or is there something else that happened?


    Seeing that Gan Ning did not respond, Li''s scribe rolled his eyes twice and said with some sadness, "Hey, I originally thought that General Gan... forget it, since General Gan is like this... then drink, drink." ! 』


    "grass! When Gan Ning heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ! 』


    Li''s scribe was surprised and said: "Isn''t General Gan indifferent to this matter?" In this case, what''s the use of saying more? 』


    "..." Gan Ning suddenly felt that he had climbed over the wall, and instead of sitting in front of the courtyard, he fell into a pit. However, it didn''t seem very appropriate to just throw away his sleeves and leave, so he said, "Stop talking." ! What do you want? 』


    『In order to repay the kindness of Qiusi, to bring peace to the people of Sichuan and Sichuan, and to the plan of the world! There must be no chaos in Sichuan and Shu! Li''s scribe stared at Gan Ning and said, "I wonder if General Gan thinks so?" 』


    ‘This…’ Gan Ning nodded slowly.


    “In this case, if we want Sichuan and Shu to remain in chaos, we must not allow selfish and greedy people to act disobediently!” Li''s scribe said categorically, "Now that Xu Yuanzhi wants to commit rebellion, we should follow the way of heaven, obey the people''s will, put an end to his little extravagant hopes, and set the right path for the world!" 』


    Xu Shijun...conspired to rebel? ” Gan Feng raised an eyebrow.


    ??Scribe Li nodded slightly and showed an inscrutable smile, "It must be noted that this matter is important... Xu Shijun''s conspiracy... is unreasonable..."
