When various conspiracies and struggles began in Sichuan and Sichuan, there was a place in Chengdu that was always quiet.

This kind of quietness is like a person sinking into the water. Although there are sounds and movements around it, it is just vague. After a layer of barriers, it is like another world. No matter how prosperous Chengdu is, no matter how prosperous Sichuan and Sichuan are, it seems to have nothing to do with this place.

The endless freedom and joy seemed to be far away from myself before, and those feasts and wines were like passing clouds and smoke. Everything seemed to have lost its meaning, and the rest was just to live.

Just, alive.

Abandon the past and start over. It's simple to say, but it's okay to do it...

It was not that Liu Zhang had tried hard, but he found that all his efforts would be exchanged for ridicule, and all his efforts seemed to be in vain.

When writing a document, someone will check it repeatedly. When doing something, someone will be cold-eyed and hostile. Even if he does nothing, he will be whispering and meaningful gazes when sitting there.

『This guy is so disgusting…』

"What else can you do except cause trouble for others..."

This is the average person muttering, and the voice is relatively smaller.

"The lamb fur and leopard are dating, living by oneself..."

『Hehe, hehe...』

"The skin of the lamb, the five veins of plain silk..."

『Hehehe,hehehe…』

This type of thing is to have a louder voice and then sway.

Liu Zhang shrank and retreated again and again. He originally thought that it would be enough to shrink into his own yard, but in fact it was useless. Even if Liu Zhang didn't go out every day, someone would still come to him.

You can't say that you don't eat or drink or move? So where does the food and drink cost come from? You still have to go out to buy it and collect it? At the beginning, Liu Zhang was under house arrest and everything was sent by Fei Qian. But after he was released, Liu Zhang felt that it was not as good as before. At least he would not be ridiculed or bullied when he sent it, and there would be no deduction.

Then when the house arrest was over and Liu Zhang could start to come out and walk around, he found that no matter what the situation was, he was despised, deducted, and even made things unreasonable.

These people, these things, have never encountered since childhood, and no one has taught him how to do these things.

Just as someone said, the brave are angry and draw the blade towards the stronger; the timids are angry, but the weaker ones are drawn. The same is true for another aspect. The brave will obtain the happiness of conquest from the strong, while the timids will obtain the pleasure of bullying from the weak.

In such an inexplicably gloomy atmosphere, days passed by day after day. Liu Zhang felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe, as if there was invisible water around him, immersing him in it, oppressing him everywhere.

Liu Zhang has stopped going to the official office these days.

The servants who were originally from the courtyard, basically all the servants who could leave, were left, and there were two or three old servants who had been following Liu Yan at that time. I don’t know whether it was because of his loyalty or because he had nowhere to go like Liu Zhang, so he stayed.

The fallen leaves in the courtyard had been paved. Liu Zhang sighed and found a broom from the corner, and was plucking it in the courtyard one after another.

During these days, Liu Zhang learned to sweep the floor, cook, wash clothes, etc., and so on, and then he also understood the heat of summer and the cold of winter. When the smoke was so smoky that he could not breathe, he would also recall the glory of the past, his parents, and then shed tears silently.

As for the matter outside the window, Liu Zhang didn't want to pay attention to it, nor did he care too much about anything, but he didn't care if he didn't want to care. Just like he would still lose it when he didn't want to lose it, there were always some things that would come to him...

On this day, an uninvited guest knocked on Liu Zhang's gate just as Liu Zhang was cleaning the courtyard.

At the beginning, although Liu Zhang heard the sound, he didn't care and didn't want to pay attention. Liu Zhang thought that someone was coming to find trouble, so he endured some anger and slowly pulled the fallen leaves.

It is winter, and the fallen leaves in the yard are getting more and more fallen leaves every day. If you don’t sweep them all day long, you will be everywhere. When the wind blows, you will whirl and dance in the yard...

Maybe before, should follow Fei back to Chang'an?

have no idea.

The old servant arrived in the yard tremblingly and said, "Langjun, a merchant sent some rice and flour... It was said that Langjun ordered it..."

Liu Zhang was stunned and stopped, "What I ordered? Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Liu Zhang put down the broom in his hand, then turned the screen wall, and saw the "customer" at the entrance of the courtyard, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

This is not a businessman...

Although Liu Zhang is not a stunning person, he still has basic knowledge of identifying other people. The clothes and skin color of the merchants who have been traveling around for many years cannot be so neat and white...

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Liu Zhang asked.

"Meet the Envoy Liu!" The visitor bowed respectfully, "It's inconvenient to speak here... I don't know if it's possible..."

Liu Zhang thought about it, shook his head and said, "No need, if it is inconvenient, please go back... These rice and flour are not something that was ordered, so please take it back..."

"Envoy Liu stayed a little!" The visitor stepped forward half a step forward, "The envoy is now here and here, and he is so sad that "there is a son who returns"... If the old envoy is here, how sad it should be!"

Liu Zhang stopped and looked back at the person who came, "Who are you?"

"Can you..." The visitor signaled slightly.

Liu Zhang took a breath, nodded and said, "Please."

…(;￢＿￢)…

On the other hand, Wu Yi had not been sleeping soundly for a long time and was a little tired. After eating the late sausage this day, he felt tired. When he was about to rest, a servant came and said that Wu Ban had arrived.

Wu Yi forced himself up. After meeting, Wu Yi was shocked by the first words he said to the Prime Minister when he arrived at Wu Ban!

"I heard that Xu Yuanzhi wanted to do something wrong!"

"What?!" Wu Yi widened his eyes, and the previous distress seemed to disappear in this instant.

After a few moments of silence, Wu Yi stood up quickly, arrived in front of the hall carefully, looked around, and ordered no one to approach again, then walked back and sat down, "What happened? Let's talk about it in detail!"

"Brother, I heard that Fa Xiaozhi arrested Zhuge Kongming in the area of ​​Jiange Mountain and was about to arrive in Chengdu soon to discuss his crime!" Wu Ban whispered, not loud, but the information contained in it exploded on Wu Yi's head like thunder. "It seems that it was the crime of Zhuge Kongming being lazy, I am afraid it is..."

Wu Yi stared, "This is serious? Where did you know?"

"The soldiers who went to Jian Pavilion to transport supplies came out..." Wu Ban whispered, "I was surprised when I first heard about this, and I asked someone to investigate it, saying that someone saw it with my own eyes..."

"What you saw with your own eyes?" Wu Yi said.

『Yes,』 Wu Ban nodded and said, 『Now, the person in charge of the Sword Pavilion is already a filial piety and straightforward person... Zhuge Kongming has not seen him for many days, so he may have been under house arrest...』

"This...this..." Wu Yi pinched the beard on his chin, "Always feel a little weird...it's unlikely?"

Wu Ban said: "I didn't believe it at first, but I thought about it later... Wei Wenchang... has been missing for many days..."

"Didn't you hear that you went to Yonekura Road?" Wu Yi blurted out, then seemed to think of something, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "You mean..."

'That's right...' Wu Ban took a deep breath and said, 'Where did Wei Wenchang go? Xu Yuanzhi was secretly informed. Although there were rumors outside, it might not be true... If Wei Wenchang had not gone to Micang Road, why did Xu Yuanzhi not let go at this time? On the other hand, if Wei Wenchang did surprise attack Hanzhong, why did there be no subsequent reinforcements? Instead, Brazil quelled the rebellion? Is the rebellion between Brazil and Di people true? Or...'

『Hiss…』 Wu Yi took a breath, 『Just say so…』

The two suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Wu Yi suddenly said, "It still makes some sense..."

Wu Ban also nodded, "I am also confused because of this, so I will ask my brother for advice."

The night was gradually getting deeper, and everything seemed to be shrouded in the shadows, revealing his original appearance that he was absolutely invisible during the day...

"Hmm?!" Wu Yi was suddenly stunned, his body slightly stiff.

Wu Ban's eyes flashed, and then he moved his eyebrows slightly.

『If so...』 Wu Yi swallowed, 『Xu Yuanzhi was definitely not an ordinary person...』

"Well...this is also..." Wu Ban nodded.

After Fei Qian returned to Chang'an, Xu Shu was responsible for the operation of the entire Sichuan and Sichuan. It can be said that it was orderly, and he also successfully increased the yield per mu, generated income, and the business was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The overall Sichuan and Sichuan people's livelihood were well-off. This was not something that people who were sitting there did nothing, or that they could do without some tricks or methods.

Therefore, Xu Shu was smart and wise, and would not have any objections.

『So...if these things are unreasonable..." Wu Yi's voice became lower and lower, 『What are these...the flaws left on purpose?"

『Intentional? Flaws?』 Wu Ban seemed to have thought of something, but he had a headache, 『So... Xu Yuanzhi...』

Wu Yi frowned and pondered without saying a word.

Yes, in some ways, Xu Shu's rebellion was indeed not so natural, nor was it like a conformity with the world, let alone a public base, and the people supported it...

But the question is, who have been independent and divided among Sichuan and Sichuan over the years, and who followed the will of heaven and supported the people, and then walked onto the stage with the help of the people? There was no such thing as not! Whoever came uninvited and turned against the guest, was abiding by the rules?

So if Xu Shu really wants to rebel, these so-called "natural rules" are actually not that important. As long as you succeed, everything will be taken for granted. As for not succeeding, even if there is any "reason", what crime can be reduced?

Therefore, from this perspective, Xu Shu's current unreasonableness seems to be reasonable, and it is impossible for Xu Shu to use these unreasonableness to cover up his behavior...

『So, Xu Yuanzhi insisted on letting Zhuge Kongming lead the troops... and imprisoned Wei Wenchang again... "Wu Ban slapped his thigh with a snap, "Now he doesn't care about the Hanzhong Rebellion, he just said that the Brazilians and Di people rebelled... This guy... was such a disagreement to do something to... do something wrong?"

Wu Yi sighed.

『Brother…』 Wu Ban walked forward, 『If…really…we…

Wu Yi pressed his forehead and said, "Let me think about it... Let me think about it again..."

…メ(-_-;)メ…

In the night wind, Gan Ning smelled a tempting smell.

Although he is still upright, his nose and head are already tilted to the side...

Gan Ning sniffed, and then found that it was coming from the courtyard next door. He didn't say anything and helped him run a little, then he pulled his hands on the wall, revealing his head.

"Since the elegant guests arrive, why not drink together?"

In the courtyard next door, a man who looked like a scribe raised his wine glass with a smile.

The literati's surname is Li, who has moved here a while ago. He has met Gan Ning several times and drank wine together once, so he is not completely a stranger.

Gan Ning sniffed, "This wine...is Zuixian wine?!"
