Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 34 Injustice!
"Mr. Zhang, when you come here, you must let him show off his skills. We old guys have long wanted to see him."

"No, I heard that my son-in-law is here and will stay for a few days. Maybe it's for the sake of that noble man, so we can see his abilities first."

"The last time I met your fifth daughter was on her big day. I have long admired Zuo Gong's talent back then. I can't go wrong with his descendants."

In the lobby of Zhang's Mansion, people were talking and laughing happily.

Old Mrs. Zhang, who had white hair and beard, sat at the main seat and looked at the old friends in the room with a smile.

Apart from him, there were six other people in the room, all of whom were quite old. The third elder, Xu Zhi, sat outside. Whenever other people spoke, he would echo them. Obviously, his status was considered low among them.

In the voices of everyone complimenting Mr. Zhang, the atmosphere in the whole room became warm, and the elders talked and laughed happily.

Today is a banquet held in the Zhang Mansion, hosting prominent figures in Pengcheng County. People from several big families are here. Among the old people present are Taigong Peng and Taigong Liu, both elders of the local wealthy families.

These people have an unusual relationship with Mr. Zhang. They came over before the banquet officially started. This was also the reason why they longed for the celebrity scene and finally had this gathering, so of course they would not let it go.

However, as the words and laughter were joyful, sudden changes occurred.

The group of old men were chatting happily, when there was a sudden noise outside the lobby, "Fifth Miss, don't be impulsive", "No, the old lady is just with the elders, don't be disturbed at this time ", "Don't run so fast" and other words.

"What's the noise!"

Zhang Taigong's face suddenly turned ugly, and his good mood was ruined in an instant.

As soon as his voice fell, a crying woman was stopped outside the door, but she was crying: "Aweng, you have to make the decision for your daughter. The heartless one in my family has raised an outside wife." !”

Whoa!
The whole hall was in an uproar, and then there was silence. The elders had seen too much and knew it was not easy to interrupt at this time. They all looked at their eyes, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, and kept silent.

Grandpa Zhang's face suddenly turned red, then turned livid for a moment, and finally became so gloomy that he could drip water.

When he looked at his old friends who were keeping silent, the anger in his heart suddenly surged. He slammed the table and said angrily: "Let me in! I want to see how much trouble it can cause!"

As soon as these words were said, there was silence outside the hall, with only the sound of the woman wailing. The hall was also quiet. Old brothers, you look at me, I look at you, you can't say anything, and you don't feel wrong even when you sit down. , It is even more inappropriate to say goodbye, and it feels like sitting on pins and needles for a while.

Scandal!It's not easy for them to run into this matter!
However, the fifth lady, Zhang, was unambiguous. She ran in all the way. Looking at the elders in the room, she immediately cried even more sadly. She quickly complained: "Uncles, you have to take the place of my concubine." I am the one who makes the decision, me, me, me..." She suddenly started sobbing when she mentioned the sad part.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Xu Zhi and others comforted him repeatedly. They looked embarrassed, but they couldn't come forward. They seemed to be in a dilemma, so they all looked at Taigong Zhang.

Snapped!
But there was a crisp sound, and Old Mrs. Zhang slapped the table. The old man was already shaking all over. He didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

"It's unfortunate for our family that such a scandal has happened. I, Zhang Duo, will have my reputation ruined today?!" The old man saw that his daughter's posture did not seem to be hypocritical. Looking at the expressions of the old men, there was nothing wrong with it. Knowing their thoughts, and thinking about today's family banquet, but this incident happened in the end, how can it end?

In the end, he could only bite the bullet and ask: "What is going on? How can I make the decision with you? Tell me clearly!"

Mrs. Zhang raised her hand, and a letter fluttered in her hand. She cried and said: "My husband... Zuo Yuan wrote a letter, saying it was for his wife, but the letter said that they had not seen each other for a long time and missed her very much. , Ah Weng, when will I need to miss that heartless person who has been seeing me all day long? Isn’t this obvious? I...I can’t live anymore!”

"real or fake?"

Several old buddies looked at each other, and the fire of curiosity in their hearts was igniting, but they also knew that this was a family matter, and it was not convenient to intervene, otherwise there would be rumors outside that Taigong Zhang would most likely cause trouble for himself and others.

With this in mind, although they wanted to find out clearly, these old friends still planned to say goodbye first. As for the dinner party at Zhang's house, hey, such a scandal has happened, why is the party late? Let's get out of here quickly.

I guess Zhang Taigong thought so too. After hearing what his daughter said, his face became even more ugly. Just as he was about to speak, another shout came from outside the door——

"It's unjust! Lord Taishan, I'm unjust!"

As soon as the words fell, the somewhat embarrassed Zuo Yuan staggered over, accompanied by the book boy who was helping him.

"What's going on? Why have I wronged you again?" Zhang Taigong frowned when he saw Zuo Yuan. In the past, when he saw this son-in-law, he was always smiling. After such a scene happened today, no matter what happened, he The old Zhang family must be famous. "You are still wronged!"

Before Zuo Yuan could answer, Mrs. Zhang became reluctant and said: "How can this letter be false? I've been in front of you all day, why do you miss me? Why haven't we seen each other for a long time? Why do you miss me so much? You Tell me about it!" What she shouted was the contents of the letter, which made several old people in the hall shake their heads and look at Zuo Yuan with increasingly unkind and contemptuous eyes.

"Masters! Masters!" How could Zuo Yuan fail to see the situation? If this misunderstanding were to be confirmed, he would be the unlucky one in the end, and his reputation would be completely ruined. He couldn't help but shouted anxiously, "When you see the letter, You will understand the words!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned and showed doubts.

"Bring the letter!" Zhang Taigong said with a dark face.

"Ah Weng, don't let his sweet words fool you." Mrs. Zhang was still crying, but she didn't dare to disobey. She stepped forward and handed over the letter in her hand.

Old Mrs. Zhang took the letter angrily, looked down, was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, looking straight at Zuo Yuan. That look made Mr. Liu, Mr. Peng, Xu Zhi and others suspect that he was trying to kill Zuo Yuan. Yuan was cut into eight pieces.

"I guess Zuo Yuan's matter will be difficult to deal with." The elders shook their heads slowly again.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Zhang asked, "Who wrote this letter?"

Who wrote it?
A group of old men looked puzzled. Since it was from an outside room, it must have been written by Zuo Yuan.

Zuo Yuan let out a long breath and then said: "Master Taishan, please listen to what my son-in-law said slowly, but he said that a few days ago..."

"Who has time to listen to what you say slowly?" Old Mrs. Zhang was still angry, "Just tell me clearly who wrote the words on the letter!"

"The person who wrote the letter is Chen Zhi, a son of the Chen family in Pengcheng County." Zuo Yuan did not dare to go around in circles and quickly told the truth, "My son-in-law came here earlier and was wandering around as usual..."

In the corner of the lobby, Xu Zhi's expression changed slightly after hearing the name "Chen Zhi", but he didn't say anything. He didn't know how Chen Zhi got involved in today's matter, and he didn't know what role Chen Zhi played in it. Considering So far, the child's past reputation...

Xu Zhi no longer dared to think about it anymore and decided that silence was golden.

"...After walking a few steps, I saw a shop in Fengyang Street. They said they were writing letters on behalf of others..." Zuo Yuan was still talking, briefly explaining the cause and effect, "I saw that the shop's signboard was very zigzag. It was so exquisite that I couldn’t help but go in and learn that this calligraphy was written by the owner, oh, this owner is Chen Zhi. I was curious and thought about asking him to write a letter and take it back to appreciate the calligraphy, because I only love my wife in my heart, so That’s why I came up with this bad idea, if Taishan doesn’t believe it, go to the shop and ask someone to find out!”

So true!
When the old men heard this, they immediately sneered.

I also saw that the calligraphy was good and asked people to write letters and taste them. The calligraphy was so good that it caught your Zuo Jiazi's eyes. It must have been written by a master of calligraphy. Such a person would open a shop in a busy city to write letters on his behalf?
"Ha ha……"

Several old people laughed, feeling that their IQs had been challenged, and they were waiting for Old Man Zhang to scold them.

But what surprised them was that Grand Duke Zhang actually looked at the letter seriously, frowned, and finally asked: "Is that true?" He was still doubtful about the letter, but Zuo Yuan's words were unequivocal. Looking at the words on the letter again, he felt that if it was him If you encounter it, you won't let it go [-]% of the time.

When the other old people saw it, they couldn't understand it immediately.

What's going on?Did Lao Zhang act together?Want to cover up what happened today?
"Old Zhang, the handwriting on the letter is very good?" The Peng family's Taigong was closest to Zhang Taigong. He had glanced at it just now and was faintly attracted by the words on the letter. When he saw Taigong Zhang's reaction, he couldn't help but Just ask when you live.

Zhang Taigong thought for a while and suddenly realized that if he didn't want this matter to become a scandal, he had to confirm Zuo Yuan's statement, so he pondered for a while, made up his mind, and handed the letter over.

"That's fine. I can't prove it. Why don't I ask a few brothers to taste it first?"

In just a few words, a farce can be transformed into an act of calligraphy appreciation.

　Thanks to "Obsidian Tail" for the reward!
