Han Dao world

Chapter 650
Looking at Xu Shao in the crowd, Zhang Xi felt tired.

He really wanted to let go of it and let these people see the emperor's thunderous methods.

But this kind of thought just flashed in my mind and disappeared.He has seen the Xiliang army kill the good and make meritorious deeds, he has seen Luoyang be reduced to ashes in the fire, he has seen the people of Luoyang forced to move westward, and he has seen countless Kwantung women humiliated and their dignity swept away by the Xiliang army , In the end, he couldn't save his life.

He is old and can't bear to watch Shandong suffer another catastrophe.

"Uncle Zhi, can you protect me and rush over?"

Chen Dao turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xi, then at the excited scholar bureaucrats, feeling uneasy. "Mr. Zhang, these are all..."

"A group of scholars." Zhang Xi said: "They have never seen the real Xiliang Army. The ignorant are fearless."

The corners of Chen Dao's eyes twitched, and he looked at Zhang Xi in a strange way.

He also followed Zhang Xi for a few days, only saw Zhang Xi was gentle and elegant, never thought that Zhang Xi would say such murderous words.

"If you're not sure, go into the city by yourself, take my famous assassin to Yuan Gonglu, and ask him if he can't get out of the Shouchun gate."

Chen Dao thought about it and nodded in agreement.

He really didn't have the courage to force him to confront these scholars.Inform Yuan Shu and ask Yuan Shu to come forward, he can still do it.

Chen Dao took Zhang Xi's name badge, got out of the crowd, and quietly entered the city gate.

Xu Shao saw Chen Dao leaving, but he didn't care.It's nothing more than a follower.It was nothing more than going to Yuan Shu for help, but Yuan Shu, a Yangzhou shepherd, was a nameless man, and he dared not even leave the house all day long.In this case, it is even more invisible.

He only stared at Zhang Xi, trying to force Zhang Xi to express his opposition to Du Tian.

Zhang Xi was the highest-ranking and oldest among the ruling officials of Runan scholar-bureaucrats.If he doesn't firmly oppose Du Tian, ​​it will be difficult for others to express his attitude, and even if he expresses his attitude, the impact will not be great.

Even though the young factions like Xun You and Liu Ba still supported the emperor's chaotic government and vigorously promoted Dutian.

Watching Chen Dao leave, Zhang Xi felt relieved, opened the car window, leaned against the window, and waved to Xu Shao.

The crowd parted to the two sides, Xu Shao proudly came to Zhang Xi, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Mr. Zhang, please stay safe."

Zhang Xi shook his head. "I'm okay, I'm just a little tired. How are you? You don't look well, are you sick?"

Xu Shao's heart warmed up, and his tone softened a lot. "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern. I was in Yuzhang some time ago, and I was not acclimatized to the environment. I was sick for a while. Now that I am back in Jiangbei, I am much better."

"Really?" Zhang Xi looked indifferent, and pointed to Xu Shao's forehead. "But why do I feel that you are getting sicker and dying."

The smile on Xu Shao's face froze immediately.

He looked straight at Zhang Xi. "Mr. Zhang thinks I'm stubborn?"

"Stubbornness is stupidity, not disease."

"I..." Xu Shao was furious, almost swearing.The swear words had already reached his lips, and he swallowed them back, his face flushed from holding back.

Zhang Xi is not an ordinary person, and with so many people watching, he can't be rude and lose his celebrity status.

"I also ask Mr. Zhang for advice." Xu Shao said loudly.

Zhang Xi raised his head, looked into the distance, and sighed faintly. "Zijiang, how many years have you been away from Runan?"

Xu Shao counted with his fingers, his expression a little sad. "More than five years."

"Do you know that Runan is in dire straits?" Zhang Jia raised his hand and put it on his neck. "It's like being stabbed to the neck."

Xu Shao sneered. "Mr. Zhang is talking about soldiers from Xiliang, right?"

Zhang Xi nodded, not hiding his anger towards Xu Shao. "Han Sui is about to enter Luoyang. If the army goes east, do you dare to return to Runan? Or do you plan to continue wandering in the rivers and lakes, becoming a lonely ghost and burying your bones in a foreign land?"

Xu Shao's face twitched twice. "The master has a saying, the way is not enough, float in the sea on a scorpion. A man swears not to stand side by side with tigers and wolves."

Zhang Xi glanced at Xu Shao. "You are floating on the sea, what about the others?"

"what?"

"Do you know how many people in Shandong were taken away by Xiliang soldiers during Dong Zhuo's chaos and fell into the enemy's camp?" Zhang Xi's voice became louder, with uncontrollable anger. "In peacetime, you are not ashamed of your words. When chaos comes, you will only float in the sea, disregard women and children, and make the house of clothes fall into the hands of tigers and wolves. What kind of man are you? When disaster comes, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I am the man who fled ?"

Xu Shao was stunned, his eyes widened, looking at the bearded Zhang Xi, unable to speak a word.

"Well said." There was clear applause from the top of the wall, and a voice came from the top of the wall. "Xu Zijiang, I have disliked you for a long time, but I am too lazy to talk to you. Today, you are so bold that you dare to gather a crowd to make trouble and block the envoy of the emperor. It is really lawless. As a Yangzhou shepherd, I can't just sit idly by. Come, get them Surround them, don't let one get away."

"Here!" With a promise in response, two teams of soldiers poured out from the city gate, spread out to the two wings, and surrounded Xu Shao and others.The knife was unsheathed, the bow was stringed, and the murderous look was full.

Xu Shao was taken aback, his flushed face turned pale in an instant.

The others panicked too, huddled together, chattering and shouting.

Zhang Xi frowned, feeling unhappy.What is Chen Dao doing here? I asked him to call Yuan Shu to rescue him. How could it be arresting people?Isn't this complicating things?

It's easy to catch people, but it's hard to let them go.

After a while, most of the people were controlled, only Xu Shao was left standing alone in front of Zhang Xi's car.Fully armed, Yuan Shu strode out of the city, came to Zhang Xi's chariot, and bowed.

"An Guoting Hou, Yangzhou Mushu, has met Zhang Gong, dare to ask the emperor how he is."

Chen Dao rushed over with an embarrassed expression.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was so formal, Zhang Xi couldn't answer, got up and got out of the car, and formally returned the salute. "The Son of Heaven is well."

"Mr. Zhang was shocked. It was because of my ineffective governance. After I deal with these chaotic parties, I will plead guilty to Mr. Zhang and the court." Yuan Shu turned around and waved his hand. "Take down the rebellious party Xu Shao."

Two soldiers stepped forward and held Xu Shao down.

"Yuan Gonglu, you..."

"Shut up." Yuan Shu stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Shao's neck. While Xu Shao was panting, he stuffed a handkerchief into Xu Shao's mouth. "Tied."

Without saying a word, the armor tied Xu Shao up with a rope.

"Highway..." Zhang Xi hurriedly dissuaded him.Xu Shao is a famous scholar in Runan, and Yuan Shu humiliated him face to face, which will not end well in the future.

"Mr. Zhang, I just received the news that he took money from my maidservant to have a child, and came here to make trouble." Yuan Shu said solemnly: "The reason why he was not arrested was because he wanted to show him, but he didn't." Thinking of how brave he is, he dared to hold Duke Zhang hostage."

Zhang Xi was startled, and turned to look at Xu Shao. "Son, really?"

Xu Shao's mouth was blocked, his face was flushed with anger, and he really wanted to scold Yuan Shu, but his mouth was blocked, he could only whine, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xi thought that what Yuan Shu said was true, couldn't help sighing, and turned his head to ignore Xu Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao's order to make trouble is self-inflicted and he cannot live.
