Sui and Tang Dynasties: Beginning with Overlord Inheritance

Thinking of this, Zhang Yong changed the subject and had a plan in his mind.

Yang Zhao put on a look of being flattered, and said happily, "Thank you, sir! I came here in a hurry this time, I didn't expect you to help me so much, and I have nothing to thank you for. I'm so humble, please don't dislike me."

As he spoke, Pei Ju behind Yang Zhao stepped forward with a wooden box in both hands.

The yamen servant next to Zhang Yong took it and opened the wooden box, inside was a jade cup with a gold inlaid mouth.

The cup body is round, with flat feet, and the rim is inlaid with gold. The whole body is smooth without grain, and the shape is concise.

But the polishing is fine and smooth, the workmanship is exquisite, and it is quite luxurious. At first sight, it is a rare jade treasure.

Zhang Yong originally wanted to refuse, but he had already thought about it last night.

But when he really faced the gift from Yang Zhao, he couldn't look away anymore.

Having been an official for so many years, I still have this insight.

Whether it is a good thing, you can tell at a glance.

Immediately Zhang Yong froze on the spot, his face flushed slightly, his hand stopped in mid-air, he didn't take it, and he felt sorry if he didn't.

Last night he scolded Wang Chao angrily for not being able to hold back the bottom line, and accepting gifts as soon as they meet. Didn't he tell people clearly that you are a corrupt official?
If this is someone from the court, he will suffer a big loss if he goes back to impeach him.

His Majesty has just cleared out the elites of the gentry, and what he hates the most are corrupt officials. If someone with a heart knows, it is equivalent to handing over the handle to the other party.

Zhang Yong tried very hard to look away, but he couldn't control it. Now he understood what Wang Chao was thinking at that time.

It's hard not to say no!

"My lord, just accept it, it's a little bit of my heart, such a famous artifact, it's a waste of money to put it in my hands."

Seeing this, Yang Zhao quickly stepped forward to make up the knife, Zhang Yong was shaken, and he put the jade cup in his hands tremblingly to look at it.

A rare knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Then... I will be disrespectful!" Zhang Yong didn't even bother to say the word "my official", for fear that Yang Zhao would take it back.

Reluctantly putting the jade cup into the box, she regained her usual demeanor, but compared with it, it was a little more gentle.

Facing Yang Zhao, he could no longer keep a straight face.

Reasonably, he couldn't do it.

"This is what an adult deserves. It's not enough for me to take care of me and introduce my family!" Yang Zhao showed a genuine smile on his face.

At this time, Zhang Yong was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it, and he began to wonder in his heart, whether he was too suspicious.

After another round of flattery, Zhang Yong personally sent Yang Zhao to the gate of the yamen, watched him leave before returning to the inner hall.

clap clap clap!
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yong suddenly raised his hand and gave himself several resounding slaps.

"What a fool, what a fool!"

Zhang Yong looked at his hands with regret, how cheap I am!
Why can't I hold back!
Knowing that the other party did it on purpose, he couldn't hold back after all!

Zhang Yong, who had calmed down at this moment, had a frosty face, and he felt panic in his heart.

Fan He's matter is not over yet, he has fought against Fan He's relative a long time ago, a sixth rank, he is still not afraid at all.

It's just that the other party still has a bargaining chip, and the most fearful thing now is that the other party is playing dirty tricks.

Just at this time, Yang Zhao came and found Wang Chao involuntarily, and presented such a heavy gift when they met.

Then he came to see him, and it was still the same routine. If Yang Zhao was Fan He's man, then he would be finished!
Ok?
wrong!

Suddenly, Zhang Yong seemed to think of something, and immediately took out the jade sent by Yang Zhao and placed it in front of him for a closer look.

"Someone! Somebody!"

Following Zhang Yong's call, several yamen servants thought that the mansion was coming at this moment, so they rushed in immediately.

"Go! Send this treasure to the Zhao Mansion, tell the county magistrate, let him find someone to identify the authenticity, go!"

Seeing that his master was so irritable, the yamen servant didn't dare to be negligent, took the jade carefully, and ran towards Zhao's mansion quickly!

Zhang Yong sat slumped on the chair, staring fixedly at the southeast, muttering something incessantly.

……

Inside Yang Zhao's courtyard.

Yang Zhao half-closed his eyes, lying on a cool chair, Xu Maogong lay on the other side, and a small square wooden table was placed between them.

The two of them picked up the teacups from time to time, sipping tea leisurely, with a slight smile on the corners of their mouths.

Li Cunxiao didn't want to participate in these brainstorming meetings, so he led Mo Daojun to practice.

Mu Guiying went out shopping with a few maidservants, which was allowed by Yang Zhao, after all, she was a girl, so it was fine if she was free.

He ordered the female sword servants to take turns to go shopping. This proposal made the female sword servants very happy, and the service was more thoughtful.

Pei Ju squatted on the ground bored, looking at Yang Zhao and Xu Maogong's leisurely look, his eyes lit up.

If only I could have a cool chair... He thought silently.

Yu Shiji was the only one who was interested in visiting Zhang Yong today, sitting diagonally across from Yang Zhao, looked at Xu Maogong and calmly analyzed:
"Judging from Zhang Yong's attitude today, he must be the same as Zhao Jian, which further confirms our thinking."

"But there is a strange point. This person seems to be testing us intentionally or unintentionally, with malicious intentions. Could it be that he was discovered?"

Facing Yu Shiji's seriousness and positivity, Yang Zhao didn't move, still maintaining a comfortable posture.

Xu Maogong opened his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:
"If we are discovered, Your Majesty and I will not be in this state."

Seeing that Xu Maogong was about to get up, Pei Ju immediately tensed up and leaned forward slightly, but when he found that the latter was just changing his posture, Pei Ju gasped again and continued to squat under the tree.

Yu Shiji nodded, he also noticed this, and asked along the way: "Xu Gong, did you find anything?"

He came out this time to study hard, Mr. Xu has been dismissed, and he will not be seen in the court in the future, and the opportunity will be used once.

Xu Maogong didn't find Yu Shiji annoying. It's rare to have such a studious young man.

He is also willing to share that in the future, having more capable ministers beside His Majesty can also relieve some pressure.

Thinking of this, Xu Maogong explained: "What is certain is that Zhang Yong and Zhao Jian must be in the same group. As for the relationship, I don't know, but I can feel that it is unusual."

"Judging from today's demeanor, he has been observing us, and exposed intentional or unintentional temptations, which also shows that Zhao Jian went to his house last night and expected that we would go to the government office today."

Yu Shiji was shocked: "He's spying on us?"

Xu Maogong shook his head slowly, and said: "He accepted the gift from the young master because of the value of the gift itself. The struggle he showed in the process of accepting it and the later remorse just showed that our identities were not exposed!"

Yu Shiji recalled it, he didn't notice Zhang Yong's subtle expression before, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he really is!
