Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 279 Notorious
Qixin Heli also knew what was going on. He looked at Zhang Shenji and his group and snorted coldly from his nose:

"It's all rubbish."

Then he stood next to Xue Rengui, with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

Zhang Yang was recuperating at home and did not go to watch the martial arts competition.

Zhang Shenji had watched several games and had a deep understanding of the strength of Xue and Qi Xin, and knew that his own group was no match for them.

Then he smiled and said:

"Brother Gongsun, there may be some misunderstanding here."

"Originally, I wanted to join in the fun with you. In that case, you can just play while we leave first."

"Another day, I will bring Zhang Yang to the door to apologize."

After saying that, he cupped his hands, grabbed Zhang Yang, and walked straight out.

Gongsun Zhi bowed his hands and asked Qi Yingying to send the person out for him.

Then he returned to his seat and comforted a few people with his kind words.

But in this way, the atmosphere was destroyed after all. No matter how Qi Yingying came back to liven up the atmosphere, the harmony was never the same as before.

When it was almost over, Gongsun Zhi invited Xue Rengui again.

Xue Rengui also learned about the relationship between Zhang Yang, Zhang Shenji and Zhang Liang from Qi Yingying.

He also flatly rejected Gongsun Zhi's proposal, leaving no room for relaxation.

Gongsun Zhi knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he stopped mentioning the matter.

After a short time, Xue Rengui and the others resigned.

Gongsun Zhi cursed Zhang Yang in his heart and hurriedly returned to Zhang Liang's mansion.

After Zhang Liang heard this, he also cursed Zhang Yang:
"That little pig-dog businessman actually delayed me from recruiting a general because of his little trouble."

Gongsun Zhi was also accompanying him, beating his chest and shouting curses.

After cursing for a cup of tea, Zhang Liang's anger subsided a little.

Then he said helplessly to Gongsun Zhi:
"Gongsun, you did a good job in this matter."

"Go down and rest first, let me think about it, and I'll tell you how to do it tomorrow."

Gongsun Zhi knew that Zhang Liang had this habit. After encountering difficult things, he would think carefully on his own and come up with a good way to deal with them the next day.

Then he also said goodbye and left.

After Zhang Liang waited for him to leave, he went straight back to the backyard, came to a small courtyard, and discussed with the man.

After hearing what Zhang Liang said, the man did not get angry, but said in a low voice:
"Shen Qi values ​​​​love and justice, but his cousin was delayed after all."

"After a few days, find someone to kill Zhang Yang secretly."

"The first is to eliminate harm for the people. The second is to let Shen Ji worry less, so as not to delay our important events."

Zhang Liang nodded and said gloomily:

"Poor Xue Rengui's talent, can't we really use it?"

After hearing this, the man chuckled and said:

"That's not necessarily true. Talented people like him are usually born with pride."

"Since he is unwilling to accept our kindness, then don't let him get used to it. Let's find another way."

Zhang Liang heard this and couldn't help but get excited and said:
"Is there any other good way?"

The man said:

"Let's suppress him for a while. Didn't he get a higher rank? Didn't he think that he would definitely become an official?" "We just refused to let him get what he wanted and suppressed him. Except for him, all the people who passed the exam were retained. "

"Xue Rengui asked him to 'defend the election' and let him wait to kill his arrogance."

After hearing this, Zhang Liang shook his head and said:
"This method won't work."

"Everyone saw Xue Rengui's performance at the military academy. This matter must not be hidden from His Majesty."

The man snorted coldly from his nose and said:
"His Majesty today is indeed a great talent. But because of this, his selection of officials is becoming more and more strict now, which can be seen from the consideration of appearance."

"As for us, let's create rumors and pin everything Zhang Yang has done on Xue Rengui. You will definitely not choose someone with such questionable character."

"You can also say the same when His Majesty asks."

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, he cheered repeatedly and said:

"I'm going to take care of this now."

As he spoke, he had already left the room, leaving only the man disappearing in the shadows again.

The next day, rumors about Xue Rengui spread.

Rumor [-]: Xue Rengui openly flirted with Princess Wu Fu’s maid during the Chinese New Year, but was beaten up by Yuan Shouwei, the imperial master.

Rumor [-]: Xue Rengui was spying on Song Qiaoer, the fiancée of his friend Li Mingzhi, and wanted to do something wrong, but was discovered.

Rumor [-]: The richest man in Lantian County, Liu Heguang, set up a matchmaking arena. Xue Rengui first used all kinds of bad methods to defeat heroes from all walks of life, and then forcibly occupied Liu Yinhuan.

There are so many of them.

After these words reached the instigator Zhang Yang's ears, he was stunned for a moment.

It suddenly dawned on him that Xue Rengui was such a scumbag.I only regretted that I was not good at studying and could not kill this thief in the ring that day and eliminate harm for the people.

When the rumor got to Xue Rengui's ears, he and Liu Yinhuan laughed it off, they both felt that the clearer would be clearer.

After Zhang Liang saw that the news had been thoroughly fermented in Chang'an City, he could not tell whether it was true or false.

Only then did Shi Shiran put Xue Rengui's name in the last place, indicating that he had verified Xue Rengui's actions.

For the sake of caution, he suggested letting this person 'keep the selection' and observe it for a while before making adjustments.

Instead, he put Qixin Heli's name first and handed it over to the Minister of Finance.

Several big officials in Shangshu Province were busy with important matters all day long, so naturally they would not check the character of Xue Rengui, a small person in the martial arts examination.

After reading the list, he wrote a second opinion and submitted the list to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin read the list, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He pointed at Xue Rengui's name and asked:

"Xuanling, is this Xue Rengui really so notorious?"

Fang Xuanling replied truthfully:

"Changping County Duke Zhang Liang has already sent people to conduct a detailed investigation. I think there is nothing wrong."

"I don't have the energy to investigate this matter in detail, but I have heard many times that this person is naughty."

Li Shimin sighed and said with some pity:
"I have heard a lot about this person's performance in the palace in the past two days. He is indeed extremely talented. And judging from the comments on it, he is also very high. Unfortunately, he is a bit naughty."

"Most of my generals in the Tang Dynasty are now old and can no longer freely roam the battlefield. But there are very few young people who can take on big responsibilities. I originally had high hopes for him."

"Forget it, Zhang Liang has handled it quite appropriately. Let him 'watch' first and temper his character to see the consequences."

After speaking, he signed his name on it.

In the past two days, Xue Rengui and Liu Yinhuan had become increasingly close. Liu Sheng smiled and said to him that his legs were already thin.

In his free time, in addition to socializing, Xue Rengui also went to the east and west cities to purchase some gifts. He wanted to go to Liu Yinhuan's home to propose marriage immediately after the list was announced.
