Chapter 503 Close the door

Zhang Nian fell into deep thought, at least on the surface, but in fact he was already confused. His eyes were covered in blood. He seemed to be lying on the blue brick floor. Blood was flowing along the gaps of the bricks. The cracks were covered with black and red blood. Some people were falling down, panting, bleeding, and making moans that were about to die... Zhang Nian had killed many people while serving as the magistrate. At this time, he suddenly remembered that these scenes were the situation when the prison was executed. The prisoner fell to the ground, his head rolling on the ground, and blood kept pouring out, wetting the nearby ground...

Zhang Nian suddenly trembled and broke free from the extreme panic and fearful emotions.∮,

In front of him was the housekeeper in the mansion. He was standing in front of him, and behind him were a few strong men in gray robes. There were also a few people escorting the housekeeper in at the door and on both sides of the hall. He knew nothing!

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?" Zhang Nian was extremely panicked in his gray and yellow eyes. He remembered the horrible legend about the imperial hawk in the capital when he was young.

Someone laughed, and Zhang Nian felt his voice familiar. He heard the man laughing and said, "How could the Jinyiwei be so fast..."

"Zhang Han!" Zhang Nian stood up suddenly!

"Hello, the second master."

Zhang Han, who was wearing a gray robe and a hat like his subordinates, flashed and stood up, bowed to Zhang Nian with a smile.

Zhang Nian stared at Zhang Han, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhang Han shook his head slightly, no wonder the Zhang family in Puzhou was destroyed since Zhang Siwei and disappeared into the long river of history. The head of the family looked like this. It is hard to imagine how many useful judgments and decisions Zhang Nian could make under complex situations and situations.

"Uncle San..." Zhang Han looked at Zhang Xuezeng with a very complicated expression on his face. He said, "The matter of Xuzong is very complicated, but one thing is certain. He first got on someone's trap, indulged in women's sex, and was greedy for thousands of taels of public funds. He was not able to come to Taiwan. He used beauty and money to seduce him, so he got on the trap."

Zhang Xuezeng said in tears: "I heard about this the day before yesterday, and I wish I could take him to the front and beat him to death. But when I remembered his childhood, my heart hurts again and I don't know what to say. Xu Zong, you will do it no matter how you deal with it, but don't tell me. If I hadn't been worried that you would not be able to pass the hurdle in front of me, I really want to die immediately."

Zhang Han was silent. He could not comfort the old man in front of him. Zhang Xuezhe gave him a lot of help since Zhang Han started his business. Later, he went to help in Lingqiu. In Puzhou, many Zhang clans were dissatisfied with Zhang Han, and Zhang Xuezhe had been trying to smooth things over and prevent the situation from becoming rigid.

If we look at friendship and actual contributions, Zhang Han would not want the old man in front of us to lose his eldest grandson. However, in terms of what Zhang Xuzong did, even if it was just to give an explanation to the group, Zhang Xuzong's fate was destined.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Nian finally came to his senses, and his short staff in his hand hit the ground, almost breathing.

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Today, all the elders gathered here, and what they said was nothing more than the fact that Wang Xunzhang reported that I was treason. Such a major event would also involve the entire Zhang family in Puzhou. How could I not come and make an explanation?"

"How do you explain?" Zhang Nian stared at Zhang Han and said angrily: "The matter is already clear. The governor and the general can't help you in this matter. My Puzhou Zhang family has no choice. What's the use of you running back? We can't protect ourselves."

Zhang Han still had a smile on his face, and there was no change after hearing Zhang Nian's words. However, the people in the hall were talking, and of course they didn't speak well.

Someone said directly: "We are the clay Buddha who crossed the river and couldn't protect ourselves. He actually remembered to come to Puzhou. He was so sick that he was so angry that he went to medical treatment."

Someone else said, "If I had known today, why should I have been there?"

Some people also did not forget their old grievances and said coldly: "It's better to the clan and can still ask for help when it's urgent. He is so cold to the clan, but he is running over at this time. It's ridiculous."

After listening quietly, Zhang Han said, seeing that no one spoke again, he said: "I am not asking for help today. Everyone knows in their hearts that the situation in the Puzhou Zhang family can no longer help me. After this matter comes out, what you have to consider is how to pick yourself up so as not to lose your life in the case of rebellion."

Zhang Nian was very angry when he heard this, but he had nothing to say!

Zhang Han said again: "The rebellion case is the first-class major case. After leaving Puzhou, I returned to Lizhuang. When the imperial court issued an order to thoroughly investigate, I submitted a memorial to defend myself, and then went to the capital to resolve the matter in person. Here in Puzhou, I only say one thing, don't be confused and separate my relationship with Zhang Xuzong."

Someone sneered: "Why didn't you disconnect from you?"

Zhang Han said: "If you leave me clearly, you won't be worried here. If I can't solve this problem, all you here can't get rid of."

Zhang Nian said angrily: "Are you really going to rebel?"

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Of course I am not going to rebel, but if I force me to be impatient, it is hard to say." He said quietly, "For my subordinates, the Northern Barbarians are not yet opponents. Xuan, Da, Taiyuan, and Yansui towns of the court may not be my opponents. The Beijing camp is corrupt and useless. If I am determined to make progress, I can take the capital within ten days. However, the Ming Dynasty still has luck and has not lost the hearts of the people in the world. Therefore, I am still willing to be Xun's official under the rule of the emperor, guard the country's gates for the emperor, and go north. I think the second master knows some of the territory I have seized is not much smaller than Xuanda, and this is also the king in the south."

Zhang Nian was stunned, and the rest of the people opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Zhang Han looked at everyone and smiled and said, "It's too late to sue me for rebellion now. Dear elders, please save some energy."

Some people really think so, but when they think about it, they look annoyed.

Zhang Nian said after a long time: "I didn't expect that Feng Pangong had such a rebellious descendant..."

Zhang Han interrupted him without hesitation and said, "If I want to rebel successfully, Mr. Feng Pan must be posthumously awarded him the emperor. The second master will be the prince at least, not better than now?"

"Bastard, how dare you talk nonsense like this..."

Zhang Nian was so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing this, Zhang Han smiled and bowed, turned around and left.

After he left, Wen Zhongfa and others who were controlling the lobby flashed and left. After a while, the servants of the Zhang Mansion shouted and said that a strong man had just entered the mansion and detained all the servants of the family.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Everyone probably knows Zhang Han's financial resources and the strength in his hands. After all, many people have gone to Lizhuang. No one has ever thought about this before. What Zhang Han said in person just now made everyone suddenly have ulterior motives.

Some people know that it is ridiculous, but they still can't help but think about it. After thinking about it, they are scared, but they feel itchy and uncomfortable, and they can't help but think about it again.

After a while, Zhang Nian said, "That evil beast has a right thing. The case of rebellion must be. We cannot leave apart from him. However, Xu Zong, it is better for the third brother to sue someone for rebellion..."

...

After Zhang Han came out, Wen Zhongfa couldn't help but say, "Sir, I'm still here for Puzhou this time."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "What do you say?"

"This is considered to be a waste of fire?" Wen Zhongfa said: "Puzhou does not clear the relationship with the adults and point the finger at Zhang Xuzong. In this way, the court's attention will shift from whether the adults rebelled to suing Zhang Xuzong's character. After all, whoever the people of the same clan support and who oppose him can also show the person's usual character and character."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "This is the only thing that can do."

Although it is not very effective, it is also the first move to play. You must choose the right move.

Zhang Han chose to start from Zhang Xuzong's point of view, which was correct and was at the best place to go.

As for what Zhang Han just said, he had considered it. He just said that he was wronged, but he was just wasting his words and would only be limited to boring disputes.

It would be better to say some ruthless words. Zhang Nian and others are afraid of being implicated and may have some ideas. This effect will be better!

...

"As long as you keep the gate, the barbarians cannot enter, and the gate is as solid as a golden soup. The new city, starting from Balipu, is thirty miles long, circling the mountains in the north and reaching the sea in the south. It is a piece of stone, Jiaoshan, and Huanxi Ridge, all of which are included. In this way, the gate can be blocked!"

In an official residence in Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong and his entourage were sitting east and west, and Wang Zaijin and other local officials sat west and east. The two groups of people were quite tit-for-tat. Nearly a hundred people stood in the hall, and nearly ten people were wearing big red official robes. In addition, there were a large number of officials above the sixth rank, and there were no seats below the sixth rank, and there were rings behind the seats and lined up to the front of the door.

The atmosphere was very tense, and it also made the Liao Town military generals who attended the meeting. They even stood very reliably. Only military officers at the level of the general and deputy generals could barely stand with the seventh-rank civil servants. Their faces were full of embarrassing smiles. These civil servants were talking about the country's highest-level strategy in the Liao affairs. Originally, there was no room for military generals to speak out in this matter. If they were in the past, even if military generals at the level of the general dared to speak out, they would be scolded for being "crazy and controversial" and then scolded them, not to lose face, they would be impeached when they encountered civil servants with bad temper.

Today, because of the proposal of Sun Chengzong, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and Minister of War, these important generals from Liao Town were also called in to attend the meeting and were allowed to express their opinions.

Generals such as Jin Guan and Zu Dashou were both traitors and no one clearly expressed their attitude. Although they all supported Wang Zaijin's proposal, only Huang Long and others vaguely expressed their support for Wang Zaijin.

This also made Wang Zaijin more confident. He was full of energy when he spoke. However, after he finished speaking, he found that Sun Chengzong had no expression on his face and was not moved by his words at all. There was a faint sense of pity in his eyes among the several accompanying staff behind Sun Chengzong.

Wang Zaijin was a little panicked. He picked up the tea bowl in distraught and used the tea to hide his facial expression.

Sun Chengzong said: "Brother Ziyun, can the cost of rebuilding Guancheng be estimated?"

Wang Zaijin picked up a piece of paper, looked at it, and said, "The minister Zhou Xi ordered a plan to make 400 million gold coins to solidify the soup and calculate the way for students. The labor costs of the town require a million silver. The construction of yamen houses and gun platforms are also included, and there is no need to build a large amount of 400 million. If so, the country can save at least 3 million silver a year, and with this silver, it can solidify Ji Town..."

"Brother Xiyun," Sun Chengzong stared at Wang Zaijin with his eyes, interrupted him, and asked, "After building the new city, should we guard the old city for 40,000 soldiers?"
