"Brother Zhang, why don't you stop me?" Luo Binwang said to Zhang Zong with annoyed look on his face. He originally wanted to complain about Zhang Zong, but he complained about his pain, but he never dreamed that he would cause more trouble.

"I stopped you, but I couldn't stop you at all. Fortunately, I pulled you back in the end, otherwise you would definitely be even more ugly." Zhang Zong also spread his hands helplessly.

"Then what did I say?" Luo Binwang seemed to think that he could still save him.

"Actually, you didn't say anything. You just thought Zuo Xiang was his name, so you said that his surname was Zuo Dao, and he was definitely not a good person." Zhang Zong said the truth, but he did not add any more fuel to the fire.

"It's over, I'll go to retire tomorrow. If you have the chance in the future, Brother Zhang, don't forget to visit me in Wuzhou!" Luo Bin covered his face after hearing this. He now wanted to give himself a few big mouths.

"It's not that serious. As the saying goes, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. I don't think the left prime minister will take such a small matter to heart." Zhang Zong immediately comforted him, but even though he said that, he didn't know if Liu Rengui would really not take it seriously. After all, the other party was not indifferent to his emotions. When chatting before, Zhang Zong could not guess the other party's thoughts at all.

"Brother Zhang, you don't know, the left prime minister... The left prime minister is famous for revenge. It is said that when he was a county lieutenant in Zhencang, a Zhechong lieutenant violated the law and humiliated him in person. As a result, he actually killed the lieutenant. Even Emperor Taizong was alarmed about this matter, but Emperor Taizong felt that he had the courage and did not punish him, but promoted him to the county lieutenant."

Luo Binwang said bitterly that he, like the captain, humiliated Liu Rengui in person, so he could almost foresee his future ending. In order to save his life, it was better to leave the thirty-six strategies, so he had already made up his mind to resign as soon as possible and return to his hometown!

"This... you are drunk and have not violated the law. Even the prime minister cannot do anything to you for no reason, right?" Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment and persuaded again.

"Even so, he is the prime minister. Even if he just gives me some shoes to wear, I am afraid that I, a little master, will not be able to take advantage of it. This official will not be able to be a master. Instead of being driven away in shame in the end, it is better to be a bachelor and leave by yourself!"

Luo Binwang said again with disheartened heart that in fact, after the credit was robbed this time, he was a little discouraged by the officialdom. Now that Liu Rengui's incident happened again, he made him even more determined to resign.

Zhang Zong doesn’t know how to persuade him now?

"By the way, why did Zuo Xiang come to you, Brother Zhang? I remember he must have just returned to Beijing, right?" Luo Binwang suddenly thought of a key question at this time, and immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang Zong and asked. After all, he is rarely seen by a high-ranking official like Liu Rengui, and even if he wants to offend him, he will not see him.

"This... Zuo Xiang came to me to buy flowers. He might have gone to see the prince, so he came in after passing by me." Zhang Zong quickly thought of a very reasonable explanation.

"Buy flowers? Haven't you heard that Zuo Xiang has the hobby of growing flowers and grass?" Luo Binwang was stunned at first when he heard this, and then said with a bitter face, "I can encounter such coincidences. It seems that God doesn't want me to hang out in the officialdom anymore. I'd better go back to my hometown to buy a few acres of thin fields and take care of my old age!"

After Luo Binwang said that, he bowed to Zhang Zong and turned away dejectedly. Zhang Zong wanted to persuade him, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only send the other party away silently.

That night, Zhang Zong had supper and was practicing calligraphy. Although he had no talent in calligraphy, he could not give up treatment. However, just as he was tired of writing, he was about to rest, but suddenly he heard someone slapped his high fives outside the window. This was the secret code that Li Hong agreed with him, so he put down his pen and went to the yard, and he saw Li Hong on the wall at a glance.

"This feeling is really good. No wonder Taiping likes to stand here!" Li Hong looked around with a fresh look on his face at this time, and immediately smiled when he saw Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard this. Li Hong and Taiping were really brothers and sisters. They even had a hobby of lying on the wall. Fortunately, no one else saw it, otherwise his image as a wise prince would probably not be able to be preserved.

"Are Zuo Prime Minister here to see you today?" Li Hong looked around for a while, then asked Zhang Zong.

"Well, why did the prince tell the left prime minister about me?" Zhang Zong nodded and then asked directly. Li Hong revealed his own affairs without his consent. Although he did not tell Liu Rengui everything, Zhang Zong was still a little unhappy.

"Tell the Zuo Prime Minister about you?" Unexpectedly, Li Hong was stunned when he heard Zhang Zong's words, and then asked with confusion, "I didn't tell Zuo Prime Minister anything, but he asked about Lin Yidao, so I told him about you, but he only talked about saltpeter ice making and soap, and then praised you, and didn't even mention the printing technology."

"What? Prince, you really didn't say anything?" Zhang Zong was surprised when he heard this.

"How could I tell others such an important thing easily? But..." Li Hong suddenly hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly before continuing, "But when talking about Xue Rengui, I had something that I accidentally mentioned your name, but I hurriedly made up for it and blocked it with words. He didn't ask at that time, and I never mentioned your name again!"

"Oh no, this old guy is so yin, I'm fooled!" Zhang Zong was so angry that he slapped his thigh when he heard this. He was hit by Liu Rengui's "deception" technique. In the words of later generations, it was a "language trap".

When Liu Rengui saw Zhang Zong, he directly said that Li Hong told him everything about Zhang Zong, and he repeated it twice. This made Zhang Zong preconceive and thought that Liu Rengui knew everything, so he later took the initiative to admit many things.

Now that I think about it carefully, Liu Rengui only said that Li Hong praised Zhang Zong, and then talked about Lin Yidao. As for Zhang Zong and Li Hong’s private communication, it was Zhang Zong who admitted it himself. Even if Xue Rengui’s affairs were asked on his own initiative, Zhang Zong took the initiative to ask about it. This was a disguised confession that he gave Li Hong advice.

At that time, Zhang Zong was still glad that Li Hong did not tell Liu Rengui the key matter. Now it seems that he is actually stupid. He was cheated by the other party and explained the matter. Fortunately, he did not explain everything, otherwise he would have no secrets in front of Liu Rengui.

"You... have you all taken action?" Li Hong immediately reacted when he saw Zhang Zong's annoyed look and asked in disbelief. In his impression, Zhang Zong has always been extremely smart. Except for the last time, it seems that no one can make him lose face.

"I have almost all other things except the prince's medicine and the three-year agreement. Although I didn't say anything about printing, he could definitely guess the cleverness of the Zuo Prime Minister." Zhang Zong said with a wry smile.

In fact, Zhang Zong cannot blame him. This is really the old guy Liu Rengui is so treacherous. He didn't find any flaws before. He could just win the Oscars with this acting skills.

"It's good, you haven't said the key things. As for other things, Zuo Xiang knows it. As for his identity, he probably won't reveal it." Li Hong also patted his chest and said to himself, saying that his condition is the biggest secret. Except for Zhang Zong and Xue Shao, he doesn't want anyone else to know about this.

"I...I..." Zhang Zong covered his chest with a look of grief and anger. He always claimed to be extremely smart, but he didn't expect that he would fall into someone else's trap today. But the other party's acting skills were perfect. If he hadn't seen Li Hong, he might have been kept in the dark, which made him feel more and more frustrated!

"This... Zhang Zong, don't be too angry. Zuo Xiang has been struggling in the court for most of his life and has seen swords and swords on the battlefield. It can be said that he has seen all kinds of big scenes in this world. There is no second person like him in the entire Chang'an City, so it is not embarrassing to suffer losses in his hands." Li Hong said comforting at this time.

Although Liu Rengui knew the secret between him and Zhang Zong a little unhappy, for some reason, he actually felt a little anxious to laugh when he saw Zhang Zong's frustrated appearance.

"If you don't take this revenge, you will not be a human being!" Zhang Zong said viciously. It was the first time he had been crushed by someone in the IQ for so long, which hit his self-esteem.

"Do you really want to take revenge?" Li Hong said worriedly when he heard Zhang Zong's words.

"Of course, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If he is still alive in ten years, I will take revenge!" Zhang Zong said seriously.

Li Hong laughed at this and said, Liu Rengui is over seventy years old this year, and the chance of living for ten years is too small. After all, officials in the Tang Dynasty generally retired from the 60s, and very few people like Liu Rengui are over seventy years old and are still active in the court.

Of course, Zhang Zong was joking. Although he was very angry, he would not have made enemies with Liu Rengui because of this. After all, the two sides were originally in the same camp, and the most important thing was that their strength was too different. He suffered a big loss as soon as he met.

In addition, Zhang Zong remembers that Liu Rengui in history seemed to have lived to be over 80 years old, and this year he is already seventy-four, so the other party has at most ten years of life. In comparison, he is much younger, so he has no need to take revenge at all, just live longer than the other party.

The next morning, Zhang Zong was busy in the flower garden as usual, and was wondering why Xue Shao and Xue Ning'er didn't come yesterday? And they didn't see each other today. You should know that he had made a promise with Xue Shao to make perfume, but the other party did not show up for two days, which made Zhang Zong a little worried.
