Zhang Xing, who was standing among the prisoners, looked at him coldly, who was wearing new clothes, until the laughter around him stopped.

But when the laughter stopped, Zhang Xing started to laugh while holding his waist and walking over: "Then should I call you General Gao, or Brother Liu?"

"Everything is fine." Gao Changye, also known as Brother Liu, turned his head back to the opponent's movement without panicking at all. "My real surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Changye. Later, Duke Ping gave me the surname Gao.

Call me Gao Changye... As for my brother, with our friendship like this, you can call me anything you want!"

"Brother... Hei Diye's "Dang Demon Sutra" clearly states that revenge must be retaliated, and shame must be avenged. The hatred between father and son is not too late in three lifetimes. The shame of a kingdom can be avenged in seven lifetimes. I won't ask.

Why did you want to kill Zhang Shangshu?" Zhang Xing squatted down and asked as loudly as possible to avoid suspicion. "But since you want to secretly take revenge, why do you still have children?"

The surroundings were silent, and Chai Changjian and the black man in the distance were watching this scene from a distance, with their hands behind their backs and saying nothing.

"Not biological children."

Gao Changye answered with a smile. "Several children, the younger one was an orphan picked up by the roadside, and the older one was with the old woman. When I met me, his father committed a crime and was beheaded, and there is no whereabouts... Besides,

, It’s not that I was unprepared. Not long after you moved away, brother, as soon as Zhang Wenda went to Jing’an to pick up people, I asked them to escape with their family assets and fled to the east, Hebei. Who really wanted to do this for a few times?

Are you looking for a woman or a child? No one can be sorry for who you think."

"After sixteen years, these brothers of yours are actually responding to every call?" Zhang Xing turned around and looked around.

There was an uproar all around, everyone was laughing and yelling, and it took a while to calm down.

But Gao Changye finally became more serious: "Brother, I'm overthinking it. When Duke Ping was unjustly killed, we fled to Yanchi, Hedong and swore to kill Zhang Wenda. There were 227 people in total...

"When Zhang Wenda came to Beijing twelve years ago and we came to the Eastern Capital as agreed, we could only find 123 people...

"In the past twelve years, people have died and left. By this year, there are still seventy-six people who are still in contact...

"On the day of the prison robbery, as agreed, there were only forty-three people who sent off their families to meet at the Luoshui River... And today, there are only these thirty-five people hiding together at the north gate... Where are they?

Do you think you are so proud?"

Zhang Xing nodded, and then asked sternly as if to sow discord: "The two hundred people who left, do you blame them?"

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Gao Changye kept shaking his head. "Why are you asking me this? Don't you think that human hearts are grown from flesh. After more than ten years, they are no longer biological. I shouldn't leave my wife and children to do such a thing? I want to do it."

Ridicule? You, an outsider, know this truth. How come I don’t understand it and why do you blame them? They are the ones with the most human hearts, and none of them imitated Zhang Wenda’s rebellion.

One blow, it’s too late for me to be grateful, so why should I complain?”

Zhang Xing nodded, half relieved and half unwilling: "Brother, you were the mastermind behind what happened today?"

"Yes." Gao Changye asked proudly. "Who else could it be if it wasn't me?"

"I was in Zhengpingfang today and was almost killed by your plan!" Zhang Xing continued almost complaining. "He Ruohuaibao couldn't defeat those masters. He was trying his best to kill us Jinwu guards who had no power to resist during the whole process.

Riding with Jinyi, I can attract the government for you."

"Not to mention that you are an official, I am a thief...why do I have a grudge against this matter?" Gao Changye couldn't help but laugh. "I won't hide it from you. How can I control He Ruohuaibao? His original intention is to kill indiscriminately.

One kill, how can there be any priority between Zhengpingfang and Xiuyefang?"

Zhang Xing was speechless for a moment.

"But to be honest, I have really thought about the situation when you bumped into He Ruohuaibao." Gao Changye calmed down a little. "But I feel from the bottom of my heart, brother, that you are a person with ability and luck, and it will not be so easy.

Death, and only after experiencing this kind of thing many times can a person grow up. I’m still young, so don’t worry about it.”

According to this, I still have to thank you?

Amidst the roar of laughter, Zhang Xing really wanted to give the people here a big-eared melon seed.

"Then I just want to ask one more question." Zhang Xing wiped the itchy corners of his eyes. He had been soaked in rain all day today. "I'm very grateful that I'm thinking of you, but there are so many innocent people in Zhengpingfang.

Is this my plan?"

"There's nothing we can do about it." Gao Changye calmed down again and responded sincerely. "However, let me make an excuse... He Ruohuaibao and the others were not the only ones in Zhengpingfang, but mainly Yang and Li when Yang Shen rebelled a while ago.

The internal agents arranged by the two families were muddle-headed because Yang Shen was defeated too quickly... And if the search continues like this, with or without us, there will be a massacre in Zhengpingfang."

Zhang Xing nodded and suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Zhang of Nanya also in your scheme?"

In the distance, Chai Changjian's eyes suddenly became serious.

"I know what I mean, brother." Gao Changye laughed. "Actually, some things are more about pushing the boat with the flow and showing favor. It's the same from Jing'an Terrace to here... Only Zhang Shizhao was really calculated by me.

, he is an overly intelligent person who always thinks too much. When I carried him to Zhengpingfang today, he probably thought that other big shots were setting up a trap to tease him. He must look pretty good!"

In the distance, Chai Changjian took two steps forward with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Xing got the answer and finally stood up, but then stopped talking.

When Gao Changye saw this scene, he burst into tears with laughter, and asked loudly: "Brother, you have asked me about this, but this last question comes out without asking, not only you, but also your colleagues standing guard around you, I'm afraid that

You are not willing to give in... Then Chai Changjian has endured until now, isn't it because he just wants to hear that question?"

"I just won't ask." Zhang Xing thought for a moment, shook his head calmly, and then walked straight to the north of the cross street. "It depends on you whether you can hold it in or not!"

And sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xing took two steps, Gao Changye's face suddenly turned red, and then he roared:

"Don't you just want to ask, after fifteen or six years, people's hearts are almost exhausted, is it worth it to have to go through this for a villain? Isn't it? Do you want to ask if it is worth it?

"But it's not about whether it's worth it or not. It's about whether you feel a little bit of injustice when you wake up at night, your wife and kids are hot on the bedside! But there's still a little bit of injustice in your heart. You feel refreshed today, so why isn't it worth it?

!

"Brother Zhang! Others don't understand. How can a loyal person like you not understand?! You have to hold me back this time before you die?!"

Zhang Xing didn't even look back, and walked directly in front of Chai Changjian while roaring, slightly cupping his hands: "Changjian, I'm done asking."

Chai Changjian's eyes were fixed on Gao Changye in the distance and he didn't care. He just nodded slightly and stepped aside.

Zhang Xing also went to untie his horse.

"Is it because I hurt innocent people?!"

And during this process, Gao Changye behind him did not stop at all. "If we didn't know that innocent people would be hurt, and we knew that there would be no return, why would we wait here for Cao Lin?! We never said that we were righteous!

I didn’t say that I haven’t been used as a sword by nobles, but we just want to take a breath in our hearts and take revenge!! You love me and I want it, that’s it!!!”

At the end of the sentence, Gao Changye banged his head against the wet stone pavement of the cross street. His face was covered with blood and the stone pavement cracked. However, he raised his head again and let out a loud roar with all his strength.

The whistling sound was obviously mixed with zhenqi, causing the knights in uniform on duty around them to become nervous. Some even instinctively looked at Chai Changjian, who was present, hoping that the latter could stop Gao Changye.

But soon, they gave up.

Because as Zhang Xing got on his horse, almost all of the more than thirty thieves imitated Gao Changye and started roaring... The sounds came and went, resounding throughout the entire Xiuye ​​Workshop, like morning bells and evening drums.

As Zhang Xing walked further and further away, and when he walked out of the square gate and came to Tianjie Street, he felt inexplicably that the sound was like the familiar copper bowl for cleaning the street, urging him to go home.

But when we reached Luoshui, it was getting late, and there was no one around. Zhang Xing stopped on the Maqiao for no reason, and then secretly activated his Qi, and then roared loudly with all his strength.

At this time, the rain had stopped, and with a whistle, Zhang Xing felt that all the meridians in his body were tied up, especially the sixth main meridian from the temple to the left hand, which had just opened the number of trinity, and was now agitated.

, the whole thing was shaking, so I quickly picked up the official horse from my crotch and went to my home where I had only lived for a few days after renting it.

"Your Majesty, I risk my life to inquire."

Just when the old middle bridge of Zhang Xingluo River was roaring, in the Qianyang Hall of Ziwei Palace built against Beimang Mountain, a duel with only two people had reached the most critical juncture, and the current emperor Cao Che was advised

The person is, of course, his cousin Cao Lin, who was the Prime Minister of Taichung in the reign of Jing'an and the great master.

"In today's matter, the ministers responsible for dealing with the situation are none other than I, Du Gong Niu, and Zhang Zuocheng. I dare to ask, could these three people be disloyal to Your Majesty?"

"This is the most abhorrent part!" Sage Cao Che said coldly through the jade curtain. "Do you think I can't handle this well?"

"Your Majesty!" Cao Lin raised his eyebrows and spoke loudly. "I have no intention of doing this, and I would like to apologize for those two... Since the continuous rain in summer, Zhang Zuocheng went to the West City to investigate at noon every day. This time it was obvious

Someone had plotted against him. In his haste, what else could he do except to deal with it a little and wait and see what happens? And Duke Niu did not take any initiative at all. He was just sitting in the Bei Yamen, and there was His Majesty's imperial edict or the South.

We were dispatched only after the government requested."

"What about the emperor's uncle?" Cao Che suddenly interrupted him through the jade curtain.

"I am worthy of my ancestors, worthy of the Wei Dynasty, worthy of the late emperor, and even more worthy of your majesty!" Cao Lin didn't hesitate at all, and directly raised his voice to protest. "Does your majesty even make the old minister suspicious?"

"That's right." Cao Che seemed to calm down suddenly. "If even the emperor uncle can't rely on him, there will be no one in the world who can be trusted... But please think about it, the emperor uncle, when this matter has reached this point, even Zhang Wenda can't trust him."

Death, if I gather myself here, will the people of the world think that I can be bullied?"

"This is what I want to say."

Cao Lin's tone suddenly became smooth and erratic. "Before, I objected to His Majesty's wanton implication because the 200,000 people on the front line were all gone and the Central Plains was exhausted... At this time, the implication is like digging up roots. I'm afraid it's really necessary.

If they are forced to rebel in fear, they will definitely cause chaos in the Western Capital and Taiyuan, because at that time, due to the pressure of His Majesty, they contacted each other to test each other early, and today's riot in the Eastern Capital confirms this... And if

Then, what can we do to suppress it?"

Probably hearing something strange, the Emperor of Wei behind the jade curtain remained patient.

"But Chen Wenda's death today has made them relax towards His Majesty and make them suspicious of each other. At this time, they can cut it off a little..." Cao Lin raised his hands and said softly. "Mr. Yang, the first evildoer of the Li family must be

However, other families may wish to relax a little, suppressing it without touching the roots. For example, the Bai family, the Zhao family and other prominent families will not touch their Shangzhu Kingdom and the position of Shangshu, but only take theirs.

As for ministers, generals, and other families with insider knowledge, such as the Han family, what's the harm in cutting off a branch of a Zhuguo? Pick some of them and add them together, which is enough to have a pruning effect and make them converge for a while.

, and let His Majesty’s grace and power be fully displayed.”

"Prune today, regenerate tomorrow..." The emperor sneered. "I am the emperor, the supreme king on land, but I have to be coerced by these mortals."
