The next day.

Li Zhi walked back and forth in the hall of Xun Mansion with an anxious look on his face.

"Why don't you come? Brother Wen Ruo, could something have gone wrong?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he kept walking back and forth, making Guo Jia who was beside him a little dizzy.

"Brother, there is no need to be anxious. Brother Wenruo is resourceful and acts cautiously and steadily. There will definitely be no mistakes. Brother is over-concerned."

Guo Jia now discovered a weakness of Li Zhi, that is, he always thinks wildly.

Xi Zhicai, who was beside him, also comforted him.

"What brother Fengxiao said is absolutely true. Brother Xing is indeed a little worried. Brother Wenruo is thoughtful and cautious in his actions. Success will happen immediately. Brother Xing just waits patiently."

Just when Li Zhi was anxious and the other two were comforting him, Xun slowly walked in from outside.

"Brother Wen Ruo, has he succeeded?"

Li Zhi saw Xun walking in, grabbed his sleeve, and asked eagerly.

Xun laughed loudly and did not answer his question, but said something else.

"Today there was a sudden fire in the imperial study, burning everything inside, and the spare edicts were reduced to ashes. God must have seen that the eunuchs were causing trouble to the world, so they sent down this punishment."

Li Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Brother Wen Ruo is indeed very resourceful. Please take out the edict and show it to me."

"Xing Zhixian is smart."

Xun first laughed, then took out four or five edicts from his sleeves and handed them to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi unfolded the edict and took a look. Except for the necessary words at the beginning, the rest were blank, and a jade seal was stamped at the end.

As long as these edicts are filled in with content, they can be used as real oracles.

"Okay, okay...!"

He cheered loudly when he saw these.

"I knew that if Brother Wen Ruo took action, he would be successful immediately. As expected, such an important matter could be accomplished by Brother Wen Ruo in an understatement. I am very impressed!"

Hearing what he said, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at him with contempt at the same time.

I don’t know who was walking around in the hall just now, almost going crazy. If I and the other two hadn’t comforted me, I’m afraid you would have gone to bed now, and you still believe Brother Wen Ruo? Bah! Shameless!

At this time, Li Zhi also saw the disdainful looks of the two people, and felt a little embarrassed, and coughed dryly.

"I will go to Zhang Yang's office now and ask Zhang Rang to deliver a letter to Cao Jie. I will wait for him outside the city in five days to apologize to him. I will also give him the secret method of brewing wine to see if he will take the bait.

Brother Wen Ruo, please write the edict carefully at home. It will be of great use when the time comes, and you will write on it... and so on..."

After Li Zhi gave Xun some instructions, he hurried out.

Zhang Rang's mansion.

After Li Zhi came to Zhang Rang's house, he heard that

The servants of Zhang's family said that Zhang Rang was in the palace and had not returned home, so they sat down at the place where Zhang Rang was hosting guests and waited for Zhang Rang.

About an hour later.

"Oops...! It's our family's fault for keeping Mr. Sanjue waiting for so long. We should apologize first."

After Zhang Rang walked in and saw Li Zhi drinking tea alone, he pretended to apologize.

"Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be polite. I came down suddenly and didn't notify Mr. Zhang, but I'm sorry."

Wait until the two of them finished bowing to each other and sat down.

"Master Sanjue came to our house today, but what's the important matter?"

"I came here today to ask for something."

"oh?"

Zhang Rang narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"I wonder what it is? If our family can do it, we will definitely not refuse."

Li Zhi pointed in the direction of the palace and looked around at the servants who said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Rang's expression changed and he said to the servants around him: "Please step aside now!"

"Here!"

The servants responded and slowly withdrew. After the servants withdrew, he looked at Li Zhi solemnly.

"Young master, you can say something now."

Li Zhi first acquiesced to the crime.

"Forgive me, Mr. Zhang. This matter is of great importance and I cannot be careless."

Li Zhi paused for a moment and sorted out his words.

"The execution of the old traitor Cao Jie begins today!"

Hearing this, Zhang Rang suddenly stood up and asked with a somewhat complicated expression: "Why are you in such a hurry? You have to do something in just a few days?"

Li Zhi looked at Zhang Rang seriously.

"It is better to punish thieves sooner rather than later, and it is better to be urgent than slow. If it is too late, it will cause trouble again.

I came here today to ask Mr. Zhang to deliver this letter to the old thief Cao Jie.

He also told him: In five days, I will wait for Duke Cao at a place one mile east of the city. I will also teach Duke Cao how to make wine as an apology."

After saying that, Li Zhi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Rang. This letter was written by Li Zhi and asked Xun to write it.

When Xun was writing, he was gnashing his teeth and wanted to set fire to his study room. After writing to waste countless times, Xun even got himself drunk with strong wine. Under the drunkenness, he reluctantly wrote the letter.

Finished writing.

After writing the letter, Xun didn't eat all day the next day. He was not angry, but disgusted by the flattering words Li Zhi dictated.

After they finished writing the letter, the three Xun people who knew the content of the letter looked at Li Zhi in the wrong way.

Everyone felt that it was fortunate that Li Zhi was on their side. If Li Zhi entered the palace as a chamberlain, he would definitely be another Cao Jie, who was too good at flattering.

Zhang Rang took the letter and stared at the handwriting on it, feeling a little heavy.

Silently, there was no emotion between him and Cao Jie.

When he first became a eunuch, it was Cao Jie who took him along. It was also because of Cao Jie that he was able to survive tenaciously in the chaotic environment of the palace.

If Cao Jie hadn't blocked his way, he really didn't want to fight to the death with Cao Jie, and he wanted to give Cao Jie a comfortable old age.

Unfortunately, Cao Jie was too obsessed with power and clung to his position as the head of the Ten Constant Attendants, so he had to find a way to get rid of this stumbling block.

"call……"

Zhang Rang took a deep breath with a complex expression and looked at Li Zhi.

"Our family understands what to do, but when Mr. Sanjue acts, we hope that Mr. Sanjue can leave him a complete body."

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang looked a little melancholy.

"Mr. Cao Jie...Cao Jie was also kind to our family. We really can't bear to see him buried without a whole body. We hope Mr. Sanjue agrees."

Li Zhi heard this and looked at Zhang Rang thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively.

"If I don't agree to this matter, will Mr. Zhang still send the letter?"

Zhang Rang was stunned and silent when he heard this, and stared blankly at the letter in his hand. After a long time, he looked at Li Zhi with his fists clenched and said firmly: "That's it!

Just pretend that our family has never said this. When the time comes, Master Sanjue will cut his body into pieces or chop him into minced meat. It is all up to him, and our family will not ask any more questions about this matter."

Having said this, Zhang Rang slumped down on his seat, as if he was deflated.

When Li Zhi saw what he said, he was quite conflicted. Originally, he thought Zhang Rang would be concerned about his past kindness. If Li Zhi didn't agree, he would flatly refuse the matter.

Now it seems that Zhang Rang has the right to choose between power and kindness, and the sirens in Li Zhi's heart are ringing.

Such a person who can give up everything for power is very scary, and it strengthens a certain idea in his heart.

"In this case, I will leave this matter to Mr. Zhang. I will go back and prepare now and say goodbye!"

"Master Sanjue, come slowly. Someone is here to see Master Sanjue off for our family!"

Zhang Rang seemed to have not recovered yet, and did not send Li Zhi out personally, but only ordered a servant to send him out.

Looking at Li Zhi's leaving figure, Zhang Rang's eyes were full of complexity, then he turned his eyes towards the palace and murmured to himself.

"Mr. Cao...! Don't blame our family for being stubborn. Besides money, the biggest pursuit of eunuchs like us is this position.

Now that this position is occupied by you, we don’t even have a chance, and it’s you who forced our family to act like this!”

When Zhang Rang said this, he repeated the same sentence over and over again, as if he was looking for psychological comfort.

Finally, he overturned the cases in front of him and shouted loudly.

"It was you who forced me to do this! Our family didn't want to do this! It was you who forced me to do this! It was you who forced me to do this...!!"
