Need for money

Tian Ji sat on the main seat, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Shaojie in the field, and nodded secretly. In his opinion, Zhang Shaojie is highly skilled in martial arts, but he is unreasonable, and has almost no scheming, so he is worth wooing.

The current situation is complicated, and no one can predict what will happen tomorrow. If there is an extra helper around him, there will be an extra chance of survival. In recent days, he has recruited many people with extraordinary martial arts skills.

Thinking of the current situation, he felt a bit of a headache. Although the Zheng family was under the pressure of the imperial envoy and temporarily made good friends with him, the relationship between the two families was very unstable. For example, if the imperial envoy stopped going south , or stop massacring officials, then the Zheng family will definitely distance themselves from him immediately.

After all, the two had had many conflicts before.

And when it comes to being an official, he knows that he is more black and greedy than Zheng Sheng!

As a result, he was very worried that the imperial envoy would loosen the conditions for decapitation and revocation of official posts in the next few days. By then, Zheng Sheng would be less greedy, so naturally he would no longer think about rebellion, and he not only greedy a lot of money , there are dozens of lives under his hands, and there is absolutely no possibility of being pardoned.

Once the Zheng family withdraws, what can he do as a civil servant to compete with Zheng Sheng's 10,000+ army?At that time, he will definitely die.

Also, even if Zheng Sheng is forced to rebel with him by imperial envoys in the future, he will still be in dire straits. I am very envious of people who have 10,000+ troops in their hands. In times of crisis, they still have to have military power, so he has been secretly recruiting sergeants to accumulate strength.

While he was thinking about it, the guard was forced to step back. This guard is not stupid, he knows what it means if he loses this competition!

Taking another few steps back, he gritted his steel teeth, let out a low shout, no longer resisting Zhang Shaojie's attack, stepped forward suddenly, and stabbed the long sword in his hand towards Zhang Shaojie's chest.

Zhang Shaojie didn't expect that the other party would play tricks, and even resorted to the trick of killing each other, he quickly retracted his sword and retreated, dodging the blow, and the offensive stopped. Seeing this, the guard knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, swung his sharp sword, and used all his strength , no longer hold hands.

For the sake of the future, this guard opened and closed his moves in a desperate posture!

Zhang Shaojie's movements are changeable, agile and flexible, he took a few steps back, dodged all the opponent's attacks, and then became furious, it's not that he hasn't killed people before, on the contrary, he is more impulsive at a young age, quite bloody , Seeing that the opponent was serious, he stopped being polite, and discarded the fancy moves that he deliberately showed off before, Qingfeng waved, and used several fierce moves one after another.

'Silk, silk! 'The guard couldn't dodge in time, and there were two more half-foot-long openings on his chest.

"Ah! Go to hell!" The guard roared, his eyes were red, like a wounded beast, he rushed towards Zhang Shaojie!

A small amount is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband!

Zhang Shaojie is not a soft-hearted master, he slammed his sword at the guard's long sword suddenly, with a sound of "bang!", the guard's tiger's mouth burst and retreated one after another, while Zhang Shaojie took the opportunity to rush forward a few steps, holding a sword flower in his hand, Bring up a cloud of blood mist.

"what"

The guard suddenly let out a miserable cry, covered the wound with his left hand, and rolled on the ground.

The officials around all gasped, but it turned out that Zhang Shaojie's sword flashed and cut off the guard's right wrist!

'This kid is young, but he has a vicious heart! '

Several officials looked at each other and began to guard against Zhang Shaojie in their hearts.

"My lord, please punish me for a momentary mistake in a lowly position!" Tian Ji said it himself before, but now that Zhang Shaojie has hurt someone, he will naturally come forward to plead guilty.

Tian Ji's eyesight is so vicious, how could he fail to see if Zhang Shaojie did it on purpose?

However, he only cared about who was stronger and who was more useful, so he gave Zhang Shaojie a false hand, motioned for Zhang Shaojie to get up, and said: "You two are fighting with real swords and guns, and it is inevitable to miss for a while. Pull it down and find a famous doctor to heal him!"

After finishing speaking, Tian Ji stopped looking at the guard, turned around and walked back to the study room. All the officials hurriedly raised their legs to follow, Zhang Shaojie walked at the back, and several servants of Tian Mansion rushed forward and put The severed hand picked it up, brought a bucket, and wiped off the blood on the floor. After a while, the water evaporated, and everything returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened here.

When he came to the study room, Tian Ji was obviously enthusiastic, and asked his servants to bring a chair for Zhang Shaojie. Zhang Shaojie was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and at the same time was overjoyed.

"Shaojie, since you are on good terms with Wang Tian, ​​you are my confidant. I would like to ask you what you think about Wang Meng's assassination."

The word "confidant" in Tian Ji's mouth made Zhang Shaojie very excited when he said it directly. He finally got rid of Wang Meng and found a backer with greater power. It has nothing to do with the Lin family in Luocheng!"

"Oh? Why?" Tian Ji asked again.

Zhang Shaojie knew that all the officials present were Tian Ji's confidants, so he said without hesitation: "From the point of view of his humble position, Lin Jingzhi, the Patriarch of the Lin family, has already detected that Mr. In order to be on guard, he knew that the Lin family would not be able to clarify and get rid of this case under Mr. Wang's favor, so he was willing to take the risk and hire someone to assassinate! And..."

Having said this, a trace of hesitation appeared on Zhang Shaojie's face.

Tian Ji saw something strange, and said in a deep voice, "And what? Tell me what you have to say, don't hide it!"

"Yes!" Zhang Shaojie was stunned, he quickly stood up from the chair, and knelt down on one knee, "And the leading assassin is exactly the humble senior brother!"

Next, Zhang Shaojie roughly explained the relationship between Aunt Yu, Hong Feng and the Lin family.

The relationship between the few people is quite complicated, Tian Ji listened, and said coldly: "Shaojie, this world is very real, sometimes if you want to have power and status, you have to give up something, do you understand!"

"I understand!" Zhang Shaojie lowered his head, a trace of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Okay, just understand, sit down and talk." Zhang Shaojie, a young man with an unstable stance, Tian Ji has met too many times, so he is not afraid that Zhang Shaojie will not work for him. The Lin family took it?"

Young people tend to be simple-minded, think about things, and don't care about the consequences. In addition, Zhang Shaojie doesn't know much about the laws of the Daqian Dynasty, so he frowned slightly and replied: "My lord, I thought that I could directly take the king My lord was arrested in the murder case of Lin Jingzhi, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that a person with a humble job can't beat the teacher... Uh, I can't beat Hong Feng and Yu Hongniang. I need a helper with good martial arts!"
