Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 179: Tit for tat, why compromise? [Third update, debt repayment 4]

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Even the guards standing on both sides couldn't help but look sideways, obviously very surprised by Yu Liang's sudden words.

At this time, Zhang Ruo said: "Yu Yushi, I am trying the case, you are just helping me, it is not your turn to say these words." These words were not polite at all, and there was a hint of hostility. Chen Zhi heard this A thought came to my mind.

To be honest, Chen Zhi was already a little angry at Yu Liang's words. After all, he and Yu Liang had never met, and the other party was making groundless accusations and threats. How could he feel comfortable?

But I didn't expect that the one who got angry first would be Zhang Ruo, the special envoy, and he would be rude as soon as he opened his mouth.

"So it is, so it is!"

Zhang Ruo and Yu Liang were colleagues, but when Chen Zhi thought about it, he noticed that Zhang Ruo and Yu Liang had never communicated with each other since he entered the hall. They didn't even look at each other. When asking about the situation, it was Zhang Ruo who asked Yu Liang didn't care about Zhang Ruo.

After Zhang Ruo finished asking, Yu Liang ignored the former's treatment and started to suppress and threaten Chen Zhi. He seemed to be intimidating Chen Zhi, but in fact he did not give Zhang Ruo face.

Thinking of the information revealed by Zhao Xing and referring to his past life experience, Chen Zhi made a rough guess.

"This special envoy probably contains different factions. Zhang Ruo and Yu Liang represent different interests, and they compete and compete with each other. It is very likely that Yu Liang was originally led by him. For some reason, Zhang Ruo was added, and Zhang Ruo became the leader. That is I don’t know if the people on both sides have the same focus on this case. If they are different, it will be a big problem and even the trial will become complicated.”

After figuring this out, Chen Zhi knew very well that the best choice was to keep silent so as not to get involved in power conflicts.

It's a pity that he wants to stay out of the matter, but there are people who don't want to let him go.

Yu Liang did not respond to Zhang Ruoyi's words. Instead, he looked at Chen Zhi solemnly and said coldly: "Before I came here, I heard that you were very scheming. In the past, you pretended to be ridiculous, which is how you got your name. Now, If he has no other motive for contacting a criminal without permission, he is probably trying to repeat his old tricks and do something shocking, hoping to find out the results before we can!"

He lowered his voice and his tone became serious: "I would like to advise you, don't do useless work. Don't say that this case is related to you. Even if it is proved that you have merit or demerit in the end, investigating the case requires neither calligraphy nor reading articles. It’s true, you can’t do this! Listen to me, stick to your duties and don’t do anything out of line!”

The hall fell into silence again, and Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Liang.

In terms of age, there is not much difference between his physical body and Yu Liang's, but this man's tone is high and he doesn't pay attention to Chen Zhi at all. When they met for the first time, they reprimanded without any scruples, just like an elder reprimanding a junior or a superior. admonish subordinates.

But the question is, why did this person speak like this when they first met, and there was no etiquette at all?
"Zhang Ruo beat him, and he scolded me. Are you using me as a tool to fight with Zhang Ruo? Is this a censor who just arrived and didn't understand the case? Is it any wonder that he just wants to use others as pawns to play a big game? , No wonder this Yu Liang could make such a big fuss in the original history, this person does things without caring about others or asking about anything else!"

In the original history, Yu Liang was a man who was good at making enemies. From civil servants to generals, from the middle of the court to the frontiers, from the army to the powerful vassals, there was no one he could not offend. He had reasons to offend, and he had to offend even if there was no reason to create a reason. !
Now Chen Zhi has learned it personally.

"Yu Yushi, be careful, this time is about the king's thief, don't get involved in other things!" Zhang Ruo didn't even look at Yu Liang, and said to Chen Zhi: "Chen Zhi, you go back first, I heard you I was injured while rescuing Zhuge Yan, so I can recuperate, what you have said today is enough, it is very helpful for investigating the case, if it is not necessary later, I will not bother you anymore, you can rest at ease."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Liang's voice sounded again: "Chen Zhi, after you go back, make good preparations. When you are needed, you must come over as soon as possible, otherwise the investigation will be delayed. Even if you are a little bit You can’t take credit for your merits! Do you understand? I don’t want to say it a second time, just step back.”

In his words, the taste of tit-for-tat with Zhang Ruo was very obvious.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath and gained a little understanding of Yu Liang's character.

This Yu Liang is a person who pushes his limits and tramples on other people's bottom lines wantonly. If you compromise with such a person, he will feel that you are weak and can be bullied. If you remain silent, it will only increase his arrogance and make him even worse. He still wanted to be more restrained, but when he saw the target's silence, he felt that he could bully him further.

Just like today, Chen Zhi came over in time, dressed appropriately, followed all etiquette, and answered all questions. What was wrong with him?

In the end, Yu Liang still hit him casually. There may be a reason, but the main purpose was undoubtedly to take the opportunity to compete with Zhang Ruo, but he didn't care about Chen Zhi's feelings at all, as if everyone should dedicate themselves to him. , there should be no complaints, and it is useless to avoid it.

"For such a person, unless his status is equal to or higher than his, otherwise, even if he does not turn his face on the spot, he will not be at peace afterwards. I will keep silent today. I will never let this person stop, but will encourage his flame , since this is the case, it is better to mess up his chess game first, so that this person can't go his way, and looking for opportunities in the chaos will also make me feel at ease!

Thinking of this, Chen Zhi said calmly: "Yu Yushi, I hope your ability to investigate cases can be as good as your mouth."

As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent again, but this time, the guards on both sides looked at Chen Zhi with obvious surprise.

Even Zhang Ruo and Yu Liang looked surprised. Although Yu Liang repeatedly reprimanded Chen Zhi, he didn't take Chen Zhi seriously at all. He just used him as a tool to fight with Zhang Ruo.How dare Tool resist?
Yu Liang smiled. He looked at Chen Zhi and asked calmly: "Why, do you still want to teach me how to investigate the case?"

Chen Zhi also smiled and looked at him without fear: "I don't dare, but Wang Mi's matter is related to the county. He came from Qingzhou as a bandit and was involved in military affairs. He attacked Zhuge Yan and despised the court. The law touches the meritorious family. This is not an excuse for you to play tricks. Instead of worrying about whether I can be at your call, it is better to think about how to live up to the order and use your mind where it should be used. Don't waste it on nothing. On the dispute over meaning!”

Chen Zhi's words were not only a refutation of Yu Liang, but also meant a lesson, a reprimand, and a reminder.

Yu Liang didn't take Chen Zhi's feelings to heart and scolded him at will. Chen Zhi didn't save any face for the other party, just like an elder educating a younger generation.

After Yu Liang was stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth slightly, then tried his best to make a smile, narrowed his eyes with a cold look, and said lightly: "I said a few words to you, and you are impatient? With such a little self-cultivation and cultivation, It’s really surprising that he can be called a famous person, it’s really not as good as being famous just by meeting him.”

In Yu Liang's view, given his status, no matter how he was scolded, the other party should endure it honestly. Now that Chen Zhi dared to refute, he was offending himself and making him angry.

Chen Zhi didn't take it seriously at all, and asked instead: "Did I say something wrong? Isn't the censor here to investigate the case? Since we are investigating the case, our mind should be on the case. Besides, I, Chen Zhi, have no official position. Under the control of the censor, you don't need to use your official power to suppress me. I'm really not afraid. When you investigate the case, if there is any need, I will help you. After all, Wang Mi is not the censor you want to kill. ! If you don’t know anything, just come to me!”

"Okay! Very good!" Yu Liang laughed motionlessly, showing his white teeth, "Are you trying to teach me how to investigate a case? You can't spread this word, it will become a joke for you, Mr. Yu is an official of the fourth grade. Since he became an official, how many cases have he solved? Do you want you to teach me? Do you understand? Are you worthy?"

After saying "You know what, you deserve it", Yu Liang raised his hand and slapped the edge of the table, as if to vent his anger, then stood up, glanced at Chen Zhi contemptuously, threw up his sleeves and left!

I remember you!
Looking at the man's leaving figure, Chen Zhi laughed, raised his hands to Zhang Ruogong, and was about to leave.

But Zhang Ruo said: "Yu Liang seems to be broad-minded, but in fact he is narrow-minded. You have offended him by what you said. He may be concerned about his reputation and won't deal with you openly, but some methods are hard to guard against."

Chen Zhiwen thanked him and said: "Thank you Ting Wei for your concern, but today's situation, even if I keep silent, it may not be easy to come to an end. I didn't offend him before I came. This person is different and unrelenting. It can be seen that the same is true for bowing your head and compromising. Now that you have said something, at least you feel at ease. However, I think the official should be more careful about him, and watch this person act without restraint. Don't let him spoil things and affect the investigation. "

Zhang Ruo was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded slightly and said, "Yes, you have to be careful of him ruining things."

"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Chen Zhi handed over his hand again, turned around and left, his sleeves fluttering, looking very elegant, which made all the guards in the room look at each other. While they admired in their hearts, they also knew that Chen Zhi had offended Yu. Liang, there will probably be more trouble later.

Even Zhang Ruo was a little surprised, but his expression didn't change much, he just looked at Chen Zhiyuan's back and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched: "It's such a good heart, this Chen Zhiguo is a wonderful person, and Yu Liang's behavior all the way, I feel uneasy, and today it has eased a little, but Chen Zhi didn't know, in fact, he offended him a long time ago It’s too late for Yu Liang.”

Soon, the news of Chen Zhi and Yu Liang's quarrel spread like wildfire. After all, it happened in the county yamen, and it was related to the special envoy of the imperial court.

The first person to receive the news was County Sheriff Xu Hui. After he learned about it, he sighed.

"After all, they are young and energetic. Both Yu Liang and Chen Zhi are of high-spirited age and talented. This meeting was really a match for each other. However, although Chen Zhi is excellent in writing, he is far more talented than his peers. , his calligraphy is far superior to that of Yu Liang, but you should never conflict with Yu Liang! Yu Liang is a top-notch person. Unless he is a scholar and a master of hundreds of schools, how can he compare with him? He seems to be fine at the moment. But this disaster will gradually appear in the future, alas, it is rare for Pengcheng to have such a person."

There was a sense of hatred in the governor's words.

Zhang Ji, an aide, said at the side: "Don't worry, Sheriff, Chen Zhi has the merits of killing thieves and saving Zhuge. He will be fine. I guess he knew this too, so he broke out on the spot. Chen Zhi is not a fool, he must be safe." There is a plan, and in addition, Yu Liang also respects his identity and will not affect the counties."

As he spoke, he changed the topic: "However, I heard that Yu Censor is also a romantic person, and Chen Zhi is also a meritorious person, and he is even more famous. Why didn't he talk to him when he came? Making friends, but it shows that the chariot and horses are not to be dealt with? Is it possible that there is some secret inside? "

"I am also confused." Xu Hui frowned, "One is in Pengcheng and the other is in the capital. They are not related to each other. How can there be a conflict? But no matter what, I have to persuade Chen Zhi to let him Take a step back and apologize to Yu Liang. Don't talk about what happened today. From now on, if Chen Zhi becomes an official, he won't compromise. Yu Liang is a top-notch person, and compromising with him is the right way. I believe Chen Zhi can distinguish the priorities."

As he spoke, he made arrangements and prepared to have Chen Zhi come over.

At the same time, the news spread to all parts of Pengcheng, including Zhongzheng Mansion.

After receiving the news, Zheng Zuna, the commander-in-chief of the county, smiled bitterly at Chen Qian: "Yu Liang is a person who likes elegance the most and often has small thoughts. He just made an auspicious move some time ago to give Concubine Yu a boost. But Chen Zhi's "Master's Theory" reached the capital, and the sentence in the article was like a direct slap in the face of the Yu family! How could a person as proud and arrogant as Yu Liang endure it? I'll do it now Bad thing."
