When I arrived at Sima's house, I was also in the living room.

Wu Liang met Zhang Yang, the governor of Hanoi, for the first time.

Zhang Yangsheng has a rather Kongwu square face, with a touch of resoluteness in the outline of his facial features, dark skin and a burly figure. At first glance, he looks like an iconic military commander who often leads troops.

"snort."

When he saw Wu Liang for the first time, Zhang Yang let out a cold snort in his nose, and there was also an obvious coldness in his eyes, completely showing that he was not a good person.

"I've met Governor Zhang and the head of the Sima family."

Seeing this, Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and bowed to him, then stood in the living room and waited quietly for Zhang Yang to make his move.

The only person who came with him this time was Cao Chun. The soldiers of the Hu army and the tiger and leopard cavalry were all left outside, while the backbone of the Hu army was simply forced to stay at home by Wu Liang. After all, there was no way except this time.

Away from Dian Wei who came and Yang Wanli who was sent out by him, the remaining backbone of the Hu army were all young, old, women and children. Although they each had their own abilities, they were not suitable for taking risks in such a situation.

"Mr. Wu, please take a seat quickly."

Sima Fang did not dare to neglect Wu Liang, and quickly got up to greet him. He also personally led Wu Liang and Cao Chun to sit down in front of a desk. Then he explained to Wu Liang with a smile, "Prefect Zhang already

When I arrived in Wen County, I heard that this scandal had happened to my family, and I immediately sent troops to help my family investigate the matter. Later, I heard that Mr. Wu had extraordinary abilities, so I specially invited Mr. Wu to come and talk about it and appreciate Mr. Wu's abilities.

"

"It's just some weird and obscene skills that are not worthy of publicity. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Governor Zhang."

Wu Liang smiled modestly and saluted Zhang Yang, who was staring at him not far away.

Until then.

Zhang Yangcai finally spoke and asked rudely: "Since it is a weird and obscene skill that cannot be put on the stage, I have no interest in it. Now I just want to know, how do you conclude that the incident involving the Sima family was caused by Lu Bu?"

This is completely a gesture of intending to vindicate Lu Bu.

But this does not surprise Wu Liang. The relationship between Zhang Yang and Lu Bu is extraordinary. Historically, he was also very loyal to Lu Bu. Now someone puts a shit basin on Lu Bu's head, and Zhang Yang defends Lu Bu.

It is reasonable and reasonable.

At the same time, the current situation can also be viewed from two sides:

If Zhang Yang is a reasonable person who presents facts, Wu Liang will naturally have the opportunity to manipulate him;

But if Zhang Yang simply refuses to reason with him and present the facts, but just uses power and violence to make Wu Liang surrender and overturn his previous remarks about Lu Bu, then Wu Liang will be in vain no matter what he says.

At least from the perspective of the eyes.

Wu Liang believed that Zhang Yang should be planning to "reason" with him, or at least "reasoning with him first".

Otherwise, Zhang Yang would not have chosen Sima Mansion as the place for their first meeting, nor would he have asked Sima Fang, Hu Zhao and others to accompany him. This move naturally had the idea of ​​​​instructing Sima Fang to witness.

No matter what disgusting things they have done in private, the gentry class these days still care about the word "reason" very much on the surface. This is the political correctness of the Han Dynasty and a fig leaf for the gentry class... Even if the powerful are attacking each other, especially

It is those tycoons with some status and family background who want to raise troops, but very few directly send troops. They must first spread the word to occupy the moral high ground, and then attack in the name of the righteous army.

Just like when Boss Cao attacked Tao Qian in Xuzhou, if Tao Qian's men hadn't killed Boss Cao's father, Boss Cao would have been controlled by public opinion and would have been unable to fight.

Just like Yuan Shao today.

He has realized that continuing to allow Boss Cao to develop will definitely become his biggest threat, but even so, Yuan Shao will still choose to publish a public statement accusing Boss Cao of his evil deeds, even if he fabricates something vicious, and then do it while doing it

Make preparations while looking for opportunities, and rarely do unknown things.

In fact, it will be similar in later generations.

Don’t incidents like “washing powder” happen all the time?

certainly.

There must be another reason for Zhang Yang to teach Sima Fang and others to accompany him at this moment. After all, this matter is a matter of the Sima family, so it is also an explanation for the Sima family.

After understanding Zhang Yang's intention, Wu Liang evaded the important point and said: "I'm afraid Zhang Taishou has misunderstood. I have made it very clear to the head of the Sima family before. I am not concluding that Lu Bu did this. I am just based on the situation at the scene."

I have inferred from some past events that the Sima family leader must also know this. Therefore, I remember that the Sima family leader sent people to search for the whereabouts of the thief. He also specifically told him that if he met Lu Bu, he must not attack him without asking for clues. He should first

Making a decision after negotiating with him is just a normal process of eliminating suspicion."

He punched the cotton, but Zhang Yang still refused to give up, and then said: "Since it is just a suspicion, you should be careful in your words and actions, otherwise if these words spread, it is not Lu Bu's fault, you are

The lies and lies not only damaged Lu Bu's reputation, but also misled the head of the Sima family, allowing the real thief to go unpunished. Are you able to shoulder this responsibility?"

"this……"

How could Wu Liang fail to realize that Zhang Yang was just saying whatever he wanted, just to find an excuse to deal with him?

Faced with this situation, Wu Liang naturally knew that no matter what he said next, it would not be able to solve the current predicament.

Under such circumstances.

Refuting Zhang Yang was secondary, because Zhang Yang seemed to be trying to reason with him, but in fact he had no intention of trying to reason with him and had to protect his shortcomings no matter what.

Therefore, the best result at the moment is to stabilize Zhang Yang as much as possible.

At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that Zhang Yang can't find an excuse to harm him and the Hu army for the time being. Only when he is alive can he have output, and only when he is alive can he have the opportunity to find a way to break the situation.

Thinking like this, Wu Liang had a troubled expression on his face and looked at Sima Fang, who was not far away, with a look of help.

After all, on the surface, he had been making suggestions for the Sima family before. Sima Fang should have stood up and said a few words for him at this moment.

Fortunately, Sima Fang was not that kind of "ungrateful" person. He actually stood up and saluted Zhang Yang with a smile: "Prefect Zhang, Mr. Wu is really not to blame for this. After what happened, it was me who sent him."

Someone went to invite Mr. Wu, and he hurried over to help the Sima family investigate the gang of thieves, so he was involved."

"Of course it's okay to assist your family in the investigation, but it's not okay to use lies to deceive the public."

Zhang Yang said coldly, "Master Sima, this matter actually happened in Hanoi. As the governor, I am responsible for it. Now I have ordered people to go to the county to mobilize more troops. I will definitely get to the bottom of it for you.

Even though Lu Bu is an old acquaintance of mine, if he really does something that is intolerable in heaven and earth, I will definitely punish you severely and give you justice, and I will never tolerate it! However, if someone confuses the public with monstrous words and slanders him,

I will still not spare this person, and I will always give Lu Bu justice!"

"Then it all depends on Governor Zhang..."

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Sima Fang couldn't say anything more, so he had no choice but to hand over his hands and thank Zhang Yang.

At this moment, he already had the feeling of inviting a wolf into the house.

Zhang Yang's strength restrained him, and he could only let Zhang Yang manipulate the matter from now on. The final result was decided by Zhang Yang alone, and the Sima family could only choose to passively accept it.

To put it more seriously, the Sima family's current situation has become very embarrassing.

They themselves were too busy to take care of themselves. They were afraid that they would not be able to take care of Wu Liang at all, so they could only try their best to mediate to see if it was possible to save his life.

So when you retreat.

Sima Fang looked back at Wu Liang again, and now his eyes were full of apology.

"What else can you say?"

Zhang Yang looked at Wu Liang again and asked in a cold tone.

"I realize that I have made a mistake. Can you please ask Prefect Zhang to give me a chance to retract what I have said before? I am willing to write a letter to formally clarify the matter."

Wu Liang was so frightened that his two legs were fighting, and he asked with great anxiety.

"Wow!"

However, Zhang Yang directly picked up the wine glass on the table and swung it hard, spilling all the wine in the glass on the ground. He said with a half-smile, "If Mr. Wu can take back the spilled wine, I will allow Mr. Wu to take back the wine that was poured out."

Take back what you said."

Pack!

Too pretentious!

Zhang Yang might have thought that what he did just now was very lofty, and there was a hint of complacency on his face, but in Wu Liang's eyes, this was nothing new, and even a little deliberate.

"..."

Wu Liangze was frightened and trembled again. He looked like he couldn't even speak, and his upper and lower lips were trembling slightly.

"Okay, let's get down!"

Zhang Yang thought he had achieved his goal, but seeing that Wu Liang was so frightened that he lost interest, and finally stopped talking nonsense with him, and waved his hand impatiently, "For the sake of the Sima Patriarch,

, I won’t take you first, you will stay in the city today, and you will not leave even half a step before you take me to find out the matter. If you violate this order, it means that you know that you are wrong, so don’t blame me for being unkind!"

"Little, little man, please take your leave..."

Wu Liang's face turned pale at this moment. He wiped the cold sweat from his face and led Cao Chun out of the living room in a panic.

"..."

Looking at Wu Liang's back, Sima Fang felt extremely complicated.

In addition to the incident itself, he also gained some new understanding of Wu Liang... After all, Wu Liang's appearance at this moment was completely different from the calm and calm appearance when he invited him back to Sima Mansion a few days ago.

people.

Although the sense of oppression brought by Zhang Yang is indeed much stronger than him.

But in Sima Fang's heart, Wu Liang was already an aloof and worldly expert. Even if the pressure he faced was slightly greater, he definitely shouldn't be as helpless as he is now, right?

"Hehehe, Master Sima, is this the worldly expert you mentioned?"
