Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 169
The hall is full of guests, and there are not many vacant seats, no one has the intention to stand up and give way.As Gu Zhong's voice fell, a servant of the Gu family walked out sideways, intending to lead Shen Zhezi and others to a remote corner by the door.

Tao Hong didn't feel much about it yet. In the past, he was used to respecting and accompanying the last seat in similar scenes. This time, Shen Zhezi spoke up to support him, which saved a lot of embarrassment.He was about to step up and follow him to the table, but found that Shen Zhezi was standing there motionless. After a little hesitation, he also stood still, waiting for Shen Zhezi to express his position.

Shen Zhezi glanced at the young men with slightly joking expressions, stood on the spot and said to the audience: "There is no need to attend the table, I have other things to wait for. Just because the elders invited me and dare not say anything, I came to visit and share the lecture One or two, we are going to say goodbye now."

Face is really given to each other, why should he look up to Gu Shi and be coldly looked at by others now, the old guy feels good about himself and feels that he can manipulate the younger generation in front of him, why should Shen Zhezi care about his face, after finishing speaking, he turned around and made a gesture to leave .

Although Shen Mu is a few years older than Shen Zhezi, he still depends on Shen Zhezi's face when dealing with people outside.As for Tao Hong, although he was a little surprised, since they came together, they naturally had to advance and retreat together, so they turned around together.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhong's expression turned gloomy, he really didn't expect this kid to be so disrespectful to him.Not everyone can sit in his family, even the last seat.This kid actually dared to harbor dissatisfaction and refused to take the seat!
That Zhang Lan had originally been sitting and watching Shen Zhezi being deflated, with a lot of joy on his face, but he also didn't expect the young man's attitude to be so arrogant and rude.After he reacted, Shen Zhezi had already taken a few steps.This really deviates from his imagination. If the other party is allowed to leave, who will see what happened today?
Seeing that Gu Zhong looked gloomy and had no intention of keeping guests, Zhang Lan could only bite the bullet and said: "Nephew, please stay. Since you are here, why bother to ask for it. Everyone in the table, I am a celebrity in Wuzhong, and ordinary people want to leave." It is very rare to meet and ask for advice. Today, you took the time to come, if you miss this opportunity, I really feel sorry for my nephew."

Shen Zhezi stopped his steps after hearing the words, but he had no intention of going back. He stood still and smiled and said, "Although what Chang Shi said is good, it's a pity that I don't have the resources to do it today. As for the details, it's really inconvenient to tell you. Many of you are also in charge of state affairs. I hope that I can understand the disrespect of the younger generation."

When everyone heard this, they all looked skeptical. How could a boy in his teens be responsible for such an unspeakable event?However, there were also quite a few people who subconsciously turned their gazes to Tao Hong, and couldn't take it lightly in their hearts.

Especially the owner of this family, Gu Zhong, knew very well that although Shen Zhezi was young, he had already taken charge of family affairs.Hearing Shen Zhezi's nonsense at this time, there are more associations.Although he looked down on Tao Hong's family background, Tao Kan, the grandfather of the other party, is now one of the most powerful people in the outer court, in charge of Fenshan, and the children of the two families are together, could there be some private connection?

Thinking of this, Gu Zhong subconsciously sat up straight, and forced a smile on his head: "In this way, I would be a bit abrupt to invite you. But since you have already arrived, you might as well stay for a while. Otherwise, let My master can't feel at ease."

With Gu Zhong's reputation and status, it's really surprising that he would say this to a few juniors.Therefore, most of these people in the field showed strange expressions, and some of them had similar thoughts to the audience, so they couldn't help thinking more deeply.As for that Zhang Lan, she felt a little restless.

Everyone's words have reached this point, if they persist in asking for it, they will inevitably feel a little disrespectful.But Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to take the seat, and waited until the first seat was vacated, then turned to Tao Hong and said with a smile: "Brother Tao Shi, what do you think?"

At this moment, Tao Hong fell in love with Shen Zhezi's admiration. He and Shen Zhezi came together from Shen's house.If it were him, it would be nothing more than obediently being manipulated by others, but Shen Zhezi changed their seats from the last table to the honored guest with just a few words, and Tao Hong could not match their courage alone.

"Gu Gong is so kind, how dare you say anything."

Although he admired Shen Zhezi in his heart, when it was his turn to express his opinion, Tao Hong did not dare to ignore the audience after all, and his tone was somewhat humble.

"In that case, I will bother you."

Shen Zhezi did his part and sat next to Gu Zhong, motioned for Shen Mu and Tao Hong to sit together, and then smiled at Gu Zhong to express his gratitude.

The customers were very tired, but after all, he was the one who left customers with words, so no matter how much dissatisfaction he felt in his heart, he could only endure it.

Shen Zhezi knew that today's banquet was not a good one, so he was not in a hurry to chat with others after taking the table, he just talked and laughed freely with Shen Mu and Tao Hong.As for Tao Hong, because he seldom occupies such a prominent position to attract people's attention, on the contrary, he can't calm down, and his expression is quite reserved when he talks.

Such a detached attitude made some young people in the hall very dissatisfied, even if someone wanted to embarrass him.However, the previous polite attitude of the customers made them a little unsure, and they dared not point the finger at the other party, so their attention fell on Zhang Mu who was in the table.

Not long after, a person laughed and said: "A few days ago, I heard that Brother Zhang was famous in the inner garden, and even His Majesty the Queen in the palace issued an edict to praise Ling Zuntang for teaching children well. Brother Zhang is talented and virtuous, it is really me Wait for a role model."

As soon as this remark came out, many young people in the hall echoed their praises.This made Zhang Mu smile all over his face, feeling quite exasperated.His background and age are better than Shen Zhezi's, but he is far behind in terms of fame.Especially after the selection of the emperor's son-in-law, some people in the capital will inevitably compare him with Shen Zhezi, and it will inevitably pale in comparison.

Especially when Shen Zhezi was supported by the emperor's imperial edict, even when Zhang Mu himself saw Shen Zhezi, he sometimes felt unconfident and ashamed.Now that he has also been commended by nobles, confidence and pride are born spontaneously.When responding politely and modestly to everyone's compliments, his gaze subconsciously shifted to Shen Zhezi on the opposite side, but the other party seemed to have never heard of it, was not moved at all, and completely ignored him, which made Zhang Mu even more dissatisfied.

Zhang Lan sensed the change in his nephew's mood, so she patted his knee lightly under the table as a sign to calm down, and then looked at the customers, her eyes moved slightly, reminding them to act according to the plan agreed earlier.

The customers laughed at the table, but their eyes turned to other places.Although his family and Mrs. Zhang have old friendships, they are not very close. Mrs. Zhang's invitation to invite him this time seems to him to be a convenience, so he agreed.However, there seemed to be a connection between Tao and Shen, which made his thoughts shake a bit.

It is true that the Zhang family is able to choose the emperor's son-in-law, and Gu Zhong is also happy to see it succeed, but it seems unnecessary to Gu Zhong to say how much effort is needed for the Zhang family's affairs.After all, the Gu family's reputation in Wuzhong was unshakable, and no matter which family of the Zhang and Shen families got lucky with the emperor's family, it didn't have much stake in his family.What's more, even the Lu family, who had been in close contact with the Zhang family before, has become silent recently, and there is really no reason for the customers to force their voices out for the Zhang family.

What he's more interested in now is the connection between the Tao family and the Shen family. Before he understands this issue, he doesn't intend to express his opinion too hastily on the selection of the emperor's son-in-law.

Seeing Gu Zhong's appearance, Zhang Lan knew in her heart that this old and cunning guy's thoughts had been shaken, and she couldn't help but secretly hate.But Gu Zhong didn't intend to speak out, and he had nothing to do with the other party. He reached a verbal agreement because of the old friendship. Although the other party repented before the battle, if they turned against each other because of this, it would not be of any benefit to the Zhang family.

Seeing that everyone shrank their heads, Zhang Lan could only fight in person. He thought for a while, and then said with a smile to Shen Zhezi: "A few days ago, my nephew was invited to the mansion, and I heard something strange. It just happened, and today I also have a A strange thing to share with my nephew."

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his heart moved. He knew that there would be no good banquet today, and he was waiting for the Zhang family to make a move.Hearing Zhang Lan's meaning, it seems that she intends to learn her own methods, and use the other's way to repay the other.

As Zhang Lan spoke, she waved to the back, and a servant of the Zhang family presented a wooden box, which was placed on the table in front of Shen Zhezi.Shen Zhezi looked down and felt that the style of this wooden box was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be built according to the one he used before, and his heart was filled with joy. This shows Zhang Lan's deep resentment for what he did the day before yesterday.

He opened the wooden box with a smile, and saw that there were indeed some book scrolls inside. When he opened it, it was like the crimes of the Zhang family that he entrusted Ji You to collect earlier, which listed many bad deeds of the Shen family in Wuxing's hometown.

If we simply talk about the background, not only will the Shen family not be cleaner than the Zhang family, but it will be worse.This can be reflected in the boiling material discussions when Shen Zhezi first entered the capital. The scrolls in Shen Zhezi's hands now are just a list of the earlier rumors and bad deeds, and at the same time add a more detailed description.

While Shen Zhezi was looking down at the table, Zhang Lan said with a smile on the table: "I don't know who put this wooden box in the front hall of the county mansion the day before yesterday. Fortunately, it fell into my hands, otherwise the contents might have been lost. It is rumored in the capital. Most of the records in it are shocking, although I don’t believe it in my heart, I am still shocked when I look at it, and I am deeply worried about the reputation of the Zunfu!"

Shen Zhezi smiled slightly after hearing the words, and while flipping through the file, he replied: "Rumors only stop at wise men. Since Chang Shi doesn't believe it, it's just a trivial matter to laugh it off, just burn it to the torch."

Hearing Shen Zhezi's tone so relaxed, Zhang Lan couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes slightly. This was a big move his family had been brewing for a long time, and it was burned?This kid doesn't think of himself as an outsider too much!
So he said with a smile: "My nephew's words are correct, but I don't know who threw this thing at the county government, what this person intends to do, and how true or false the information is. Is it still in his hands? There is a difference. If the handling is too hasty, the hidden danger is not small, so I leave it to my nephew for self-defense. Otherwise, when these bad deeds are publicized, the county government will be under pressure and must pursue it. Hurt the peace of the two families."

Hearing Zhang Lan's threat, Shen Zhezi's eyes flickered slightly, and when he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly locked on one of the crimes, and his expression suddenly sank.This accusation is not a forgery, but a description of the facts. It is about the Shen family's cooperative.
Seeing that Shen Zhezi's face changed suddenly and he was no longer as indifferent as before, Zhang Lan felt a little proud in his heart. In order to collect these materials, his family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and it can be said that it hit the Shen family's vital point.If the Shen family still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then it might as well announce it directly to the public, and make the family's property discussion troublesome.Although it would completely offend the Shen family because of this, as long as one's own family is lucky enough to be the emperor's relative, some price is worth it.

Gently closing the file, Shen Zhezi's expression was still solemn, but he was quite excited in his heart. The Zhang family got rid of it by themselves, saving him a lot of trouble.At this moment, what he wanted to say to Zhang Lan most in his heart was: I am playing tricks, your family is really not worthy of playing!Based on Luo Zhi's guilt alone, once it is made public, the Shen family will still have room to make amends, and the Zhang family will undoubtedly die!

These pigs don't even think about it, who is playing the so-called power of punishment to rule the crowd now.

　Go back to the previous chapter and talk about the questions raised by book friends. Gaomen has strength, and it is not low. The defect is that it does not affect the vision and pattern of the overall situation.This statement is a bit false, but in the real history, the deeds of Nanshi's group of masters are indeed pig teammates. . .
