Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14777 Transformation
After hearing what Zhang Qingshan said, Zuo Qiuwen couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at Zhang Qingshan and said, "Lord Zhang, you seem to care about the prince very much? Are you pleading for the prince?"

Zhang Qingshan immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am doing this entirely for the good of the empire. Please investigate this matter."

Zhang Qingshan felt from Zuoqiuwen's reaction that Zuoqiuwen seemed to take his proposal very seriously, otherwise his reaction would not have been so big. This made Zhang Qingshan confirm his thoughts. You know, the prince was not plotting a rebellion. Logically speaking, since he asked the prince to come back, Zuoqiuwen should not have such a big reaction. But now Zuoqiuwen's reaction seemed a little too big, which made Zhang Qingshan almost more certain that there must be some connection between Zuoqiuwen and Zuoqiuzheng that he didn't know about. When he thought of his previous thoughts, he was now more certain that this time Zuoqiuwen and Zuoqiuzheng were acting.

Zuo Qiuwen looked at Zhang Qingshan. He knew that Zhang Qingshan had discovered his plan, otherwise Zhang Qingshan would not have tested him like this. Zuo Qiuwen was also an experienced man, and he knew very well that Zhang Qingshan's question just now was a test.

Zuoqiu Wen looked at Zhang Qingshan and said, "My dear, I have a medicine here that will definitely make your body better. However, this medicine has a side effect. That is, you may not be able to talk nonsense for a long time in the future. Please see if this medicine is suitable for you." After saying that, Zuoqiu Wen waved at Decai. Decai seemed to be a worm in Zuoqiu Wen's stomach and knew what he was going to do. He immediately took out a piece of paper and showed it to Zuoqiu Wen first. Zuoqiu Wen nodded, and Decai gave the paper to Zhang Qingshan. When Zhang Qingshan saw the piece of paper, his body was shocked. He immediately understood what Zuoqiuwen meant. The piece of paper contained nothing but the method of activating spiritual roots. Zhang Qingshan understood what Zuoqiuwen meant. Zuoqiuwen was telling him that you have seen through it, and you also said today that you will not cooperate with the Ninth Prince and that you will resign from your post. All this shows that you are going to side with me, and you have also seen that the prince and I are acting. So just shut up. I will give you what you want most, and you have to do what you should do.

Zhang Qingshan was very clear about what should and should not be done. First, he should not get involved in the fight between the princes, and second, he should draw a clear line with those big families. In other words, from today on, Zhang Qingshan and his Zhang family, like Xu Kang and his Xu family, became royalists. Although Zuoqiu Wen did not say it explicitly, Zhang Qingshan knew what Zuoqiu Wen meant.

Zhang Qingshan immediately put the paper away, then he bowed to Zuo Qiuwen and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

Zuo Qiuwen said in a deep voice, "Okay, go down." Zhang Qingshan responded, then he saluted to Zuo Qiuwen, and then left Zuo Qiuwen's study. After leaving Zuo Qiuwen's study, Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, cold sweat already appeared on his head.

The moment Zuoqiu Wen gave him the method to activate his spiritual roots, he understood everything. It was because he understood everything that he felt a sense of fear. Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise, if it were really like other families, their losses would be huge. They knew very well why Zuoqiu Wen and Zuoqiu Zheng were acting out this drama, which was to deal with their family.

Zhang Qingshan had some doubts before, and now he just confirmed his thoughts. However, the more this happened, the more afraid he became. Zuoqiu Wen and Zuoqiu Zheng had really spent a lot of money to deal with their family this time. You know, this incident was a big blow to Zuoqiu Zheng's reputation, but they still carried out this plan, which shows how much they valued this plan and how much they hated the various families. They were even willing to use this method to deal with the major families. He must be more careful in the future.

Then Zhang Qingshan left the palace and walked towards his home. Zuo Qiuwen frowned and asked, "How did Zhang Qingshan find out about this? He came to test me today? Did something happen?"

Decai said, "Yes, Your Majesty, something happened. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's revenge has begun. Last night, the Zhang family sent people to capture the people who brought back His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They bribed the people left behind by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and wanted to use those people to capture the people sent back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, they did not expect that they did not catch anyone. The people sent back by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually used a substitute straw man to meet those people. When they went to catch it, the straw man directly burned itself." Having said that, Decai continued, "But just after they retreated, all the people who participated in yesterday's action died. No one was left, including the two subordinates of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who were bribed. Moreover, the cause of their death was all myocardial infarction, not poisoning, and they did not have any injuries. So this morning, the head of the Zhang family came to the palace. I think it might be because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's revenge this time that made them alert? That's why it happened." Decai gave a reason.

Zuo Qiuwen listened to Decai's words and nodded, "It is indeed possible. Although Zhang Qingshan is very low-key, he is a very smart man. He reacted immediately when the prince took action. Well, he has the intention of surrendering to me today. He should know what to do. However, the person sent back by the prince this time is a bit interesting. I have never heard of such means, and the means of revenge are indeed cruel enough. Hahahaha, he is a bit like the prince."

Zuoqiu Wen was a benevolent emperor, but this was only what he showed to others. His methods were not necessarily benevolent. In his opinion, you have to be ruthless when necessary, otherwise, you will not be able to deal with these big families. These big families are more difficult to deal with than each other. Facing such big families, you have to be a little ruthless. Zuoqiu Zheng's methods before were a bit too lenient, and he felt a bit restrained. This was not acceptable. This time, he did a good job and acted a bit like a prince.

Decai responded, and Zuoqiu Wen said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about him. I want to see what the prince will do next."

Decai did not speak, Zuoqiu Wen was busy with his own affairs, and on the other hand, after returning to the Zhang family, Zhang Qingshan immediately called all the elders of the Zhang family to his study. After everyone arrived, Zhang Qingshan glanced at everyone and then said, "Our guess is correct. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are indeed acting. Now the Crown Prince has agreed not to bother with us about this matter, and Your Majesty has also given us the method to activate the spiritual roots, but warned us not to talk nonsense. From today on, we will directly withdraw all the power in the family and tell the outside world that I am really sick. From today on, we will close the door and refuse visitors. All of you are not allowed to tell this matter to anyone. Remember, we will... Starting today, we are no longer members of the alliance of the major families, but like the Xu family, we are His Majesty's people. Do you understand? If anyone dares to tell this matter, the family law will not tolerate it. "He said it to the end, his voice was already stern, and the elders of the Zhang family also felt angry, and then they all stood up and responded in unison. They knew very well that everything they had was given by the Zhang family. If they betrayed the Zhang family, they would be nothing. So for them, family law is far greater than national law. So when Zhang Qingshan brought out the family law, these people knew what to do. They knew that they absolutely could not do this, otherwise, they would not be able to stay in the Zhang family.

Zhang Qingshan nodded, then said, "Has our family completely cut off ties with the Ninth Prince?" While he was speaking, he looked at another elder, who immediately said, "Yes, Patriarch, our family's power has been completely cut off from the Ninth Prince's. Although there have been some losses, the cut is very clean." Zhang Qingshan nodded, then said, "We can release the news to the outside world, saying that I was assassinated and seriously injured, but this news must be released in secret. On the surface, we can say that I am sick, and very sick. Let them guess for themselves. In this way, even if we are really cut off from the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince will not say anything. Do you understand?" Everyone responded. They knew very well that the more they said this, the more people outside would believe the gossip. In other words, people outside would definitely believe that Zhang Qingshan was assassinated and seriously injured.

At this time, an elder said, "Master, you went to the palace today. If this news is released, won't it be too fake?"

Zhang Qingshan said in a deep voice: "Wouldn't you say that I was seriously injured and forced myself to go to the palace? Leave a little blood in the car I was sitting in, so that no matter how they investigate, I am seriously injured. Okay, you go and make the arrangements. Remember, from today on, we are His Majesty's people. Also, Third Uncle, the method of activating the spiritual roots is now in your hands. You have to select an absolutely reliable disciple in the family to use this method. This method must be kept secret. Do you understand?"

The man called Third Uncle immediately stood up, clasped his fists towards Zhang Qingshan and said, "Yes, Patriarch." He is a taciturn man, but he is the most reliable person in the Zhang family because he is the patriarch of the Zhang family. In theory, he can manage everyone in the Zhang family, including Zhang Qingshan, the patriarch. So Zhang Qingshan handed the matter over to him, and no one would have any objection to anything because he really did the best.

Zhang Qingshan nodded, then said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone go and get busy." Everyone responded, then Zhang Qingshan waved his hand, and everyone left the study. When they all left the study, Zhang Qingshan walked to the window, he looked at the sky outside, and murmured: "Don't blame me, this game is not so easy to break this time. It depends on whether you have the ability to break the game. If you don't have that ability, then I'm afraid you can only die in this game." He said this to those big families. Those big families are still fighting each other, and they don't know at all that they are just pawns in Zuo Qiuwen's hands.
