Liang Ren said: "Actually, what we ask Mr. Zhang to do is very simple. As long as Mr. Zhang asks the king to replace the head of Xishan County."
"Replace the head of Xishan County?" Zhang Rong was secretly surprised.
"That's right!" Liang Ren took two steps forward, approached Zhang Rong, and whispered: "As long as Mr. Zhang can do this, we will give you ten thousand taels of gold."
Zhang Rong rolled his eyes, then glanced at Liang Ren and Liu Yang, shook his head and said, "You are not horse traders."
Liang and Liu both laughed and said nothing. Zhang Rong carefully thought about their names. One was Liang Ren and the other was Liu Yang. Ren can be referred to as 'human', and Yang can also be referred to as 'sheep'. One person and one sheep together are
It's a lie. Even the names reported by these two people should be fake.
Zhang Rong took a breath and asked in a solemn voice: "Who are you two?"
Liang Ren looked down at the tea cup on the table, stretched out his hand to drink the tea, then wrote the word "风" on the table, and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter who we are, Mr. Zhang doesn't know
It’s better than knowing. The most important thing is that what we ask Mr. Zhang to do is not difficult. After the thing is done, there will be thousands of gold to collect, why not do it?"
It turned out to be from Feng Country! Zhang Rong's brows frowned unconsciously, and he quickly passed his palms on the table, erasing the word "Feng" written in the tea. He said: "I don't care who you are, but I want to know
Your purpose!"
Liang Ren shrugged and said with a smile: "This... I'm sorry to tell you." As he spoke, he took out another banknote from his arms, put it on the table, pushed it towards Zhang Rong, and said: "This is
One thousand taels of gold, the bill must come from the imperial court of the Mo Kingdom. It can be withdrawn from any bank in the Mo Kingdom. This is our deposit! As long as Mr. Zhang completes this matter, we will transfer the remaining nine thousand taels
Two pieces of gold will be given together. Of course, Mr. Zhang does not have to worry that we will break our word, because there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future, not to mention, my master is not a stingy person."
Looking at the gold ticket in front of him, Zhang Rong was speechless for a long time. One thousand taels of gold was not much, but ten thousand taels of gold was too tempting. This was almost equivalent to his salary of more than ten years. Speaking of Zhang Rong,
If you are not moved, that is definitely a lie.
Seeing that he neither accepted nor refused clearly, Liang Ren smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhang, we are waiting for your good news, so we will leave first." After saying this, he shook his head to Liu Yang and turned around to ask for
Walk.
At this time, Zhang Rong, who was in a daze, suddenly said expressionlessly: "Wait a minute."
Liang Ren and Liu Yang turned around and looked at him in confusion. Zhang Rong picked up the golden ticket on the table and played with it back and forth. After a while, he raised the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "We will never do it again in the future.
There are opportunities for cooperation.”
Hearing this, Liang Ren and Liu Yang's expressions changed, and they both took a breath. Zhang Rong put the golden ticket in his cuffs and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, you two, although we will never cooperate again in the future.
But this time, I can help you." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Liu Yang and said, "He can leave!" Then he pointed at Liang Ren and said, "But you have to stay. After the matter is completed, I
When I see the remaining golden tickets, I will naturally let you go. However, this is just this once, if you two dare to come to me again in the future, I will definitely kill you!"
Liang Ren and Liu Yang looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces. Liang Ren cupped his hands and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. I am afraid I will bother Mr. Zhang during this period."
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Zhang Rongpi said with a smile.
Zhang Rong already knew the identities of Liang Ren and Liu Yang and who the masters behind them were, but he believed that it was not difficult to change the head of Xishan County, and it would have no impact on the safety of Mo State. Besides, it would not be difficult to replace the head of Xishan County.
It was still something that the king had always wanted to do. This time he pushed the situation and facilitated the matter. Not only did it solve the problem of the king, but he could also get ten thousand taels of gold. Why not do it, which is the best of both worlds? But Zhang Rong is not a fool either.
Colluding with Feng Guo's spies was tantamount to playing with fire. If he was not careful, he would burn himself. Therefore, he was only willing to do it this time. After the incident, he would immediately make a clean break with Feng Guo. As for keeping Liang Ren, he just wanted to take a hostage.
When the time comes to get things done but have no money to draw from them, then all my efforts have been in vain.
The reason why Fengguo spies were able to find Zhang Rong with unique insight was because they received a secret order from Tang Yin. Tang Yin was able to issue such a secret order not because he knew Zhang Rong well, but because of Cai Gui's suggestion.
.Buying Zhang Rong is only part of Cai Gui's plan.
Collect money from people and eliminate disasters for them. After Zhang Rong accepted the gold and silver from Feng Kingdom spies, he began to rack his brains to think about how to propose the replacement of the head of Xishan County in front of Shao Shang, and how to make his proposal unpopular.
It seemed too abrupt.
By coincidence, within two days, news came from Xishan County that Shao Yu had brought Shao Jun into Fengyang City, but he neither killed him nor captured him, and treated him like a distinguished guest. This
The news may be just a trivial matter to others, but Zhang Rong is keenly aware that the opportunity has come.
In the court, he impeached Shao Yu on this matter. "Your Majesty, Shao Yu is so audacious that he blatantly sheltered imperial prisoners. His intentions have been revealed. Your Majesty, you should severely punish this thief!"
Shao Yu was originally a thorn in Shao Fang's side, and he was not only unhappy, but now that he heard that he had taken Shao Jun in, he felt even more uncomfortable. When Zhang Rong finished speaking, he looked gloomy and did not immediately express his stance. Instead, he looked around and asked:
"What does it mean to be listed as your beloved?"
Left Prime Minister Guo Hui frowned and said: "Shao Yu deserves to die, but... it's not time to punish him yet. Our country is currently fighting on two fronts. We must first eliminate the troubles before we can solve the internal worries!"
Shao Fang sat on the king's chair, his face even more gloomy and ugly. General Li Jin also said: "General, I think what Prime Minister Guo said is reasonable. It is not wise to touch Shao Yu now!"
Dong Sheng, who was also in the court, nodded secretly. Although Guo Hui and Li Jin were both good at flattery, at least their minds were not as simple as Zhang Rong's.
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rong cupped his hands and said, "Now Shao Yu is no longer a domestic trouble, but a foreign trouble for our country."
"How do you say this?" Shao Fang leaned forward and asked without blinking.
Zhang Rong said: "Shao Jun has settled in Fengyang, and at this time, the Feng army just gave up attacking Xishan County, turned its spearhead, and continued to advance south, completely ignoring Xishan County's worries. Isn't this too unreasonable?"
Huh? After hearing what he said, everyone present was startled. Yes, Feng Jun's behavior was indeed a bit abnormal. Li Jin murmured while thinking: "What Mr. Zhang said makes sense. Feng Jun's style has always been
Those who have a grudge must avenge themselves. This time they attacked Fengyang. I heard that they lost tens of thousands of troops in just one battle. The Feng Army hastily retreated without making a second attack and continued southward. It is unbelievable and not the style of the Feng Army.
."
"Hmph!" Zhang Rong snorted and said, "Actually, it's easy to understand. That is, Shao Yu has defected to Feng State, and he has become a traitor to our Mo State. Otherwise, how could he receive Shao so grandly?
Jun, how could Feng Jun continue to go south with such confidence? As the saying goes, there is no storm without wave. My lords and generals should go to the people and listen. Shao Yu's surrender to Feng Guo is no longer a secret. We are the only ones.
Still in the dark!”
Snapped!
Shao Fang stood up and yelled: "Is this happening?"
All the civil and military ministers in the dynasty were trembling with fright. Li Jin did not dare to hide it and stammered: "There are indeed rumors among the people that Shao Yu surrendered to Feng State. It's just that rumors are rumors after all and may not be credible. Therefore, minister
I haven’t dared to report it to the king yet…”
Before he could finish his words, Shao Fang was so angry that he shouted: "Are you going to wait until Shao Yu leads the Feng Army to fight under my nose before you come and report to me?"
Plop! All the civil and military ministers in the court fell to their knees and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, your Majesty, calm down, I don't dare!"
"Don't you dare? If Master Zhang hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have known about it until now!"
"However, the imperial court did not receive any report of Xishan County's defection!"
"The reason why Xishan County did not blatantly promote defection and surrender to Feng State is because Shao Yu was afraid." Zhang Rong said with a sneer: "God help me, let Han Zhong and Yuan Tian lead our army of fifteen
The crowd was the first to station in Fengyang. Shao Yu must have been worried about Master Han and Master Yuan, and was afraid of a civil war in the city, so he suppressed the surrender and did not dare to announce it immediately. I thought, wait until the Feng army pacified the surrounding counties of Xishan County
, will definitely turn the spearhead, join forces with Shao Yu inside and outside, and encircle and suppress Lord Han and Lord Yuan. Therefore, Your Majesty, we cannot wait any longer and strike first to gain the upper hand. We must immediately remove Shao Yu from his official position and eliminate future troubles forever."
These words were said to Shao Fang's heart. The latter nodded repeatedly while listening. When Zhang Rong finished speaking, he said to his left and right: "This is the good advice that I want to hear. You should also learn more from Master Zhang."
learned."
All the civil servants and generals were so embarrassed by Shao Fang's remarks that they all shook their heads and did not dare to breathe.
Others did not dare to speak, but Dong Sheng did. Now the only person in the Mo Kingdom court who dared to contradict Shao Fang was Dong Sheng. The old man took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, has Shao Yu ever asked Feng Guo?
How can we hastily dismiss Shao Yu from his official position when the surrender is not yet known? If Shao Yu has not surrendered, the king's dismissal will be equivalent to Shao Yu turning against the Feng Kingdom. Please think twice!"
"The matter has become so obvious, and you are still speaking for him, Dong Sheng, what are your intentions?" Shao Fang's face turned red with anger, he pressed his hands on the table and shouted almost roaringly.
"Your Majesty, I am loyal and loyal. I don't want to watch Da Mo's country be destroyed in one day..."
"Bold!" With Shao Fang's support, Zhang Rong pointed angrily at Dong Sheng and yelled: "Dong Sheng, you are so brave, how dare you accuse the king of being a coward in public?!"
