When the servants in the mansion informed Qi Wang Xiao Jie to visit, Zhongshu Ling Zhou Jun also looked confused.

You know, in the officialdom, visiting people is also very particular.Generally speaking, visitors should send someone to send greeting cards to the other party in advance, and make an appointment to visit before visiting.

After all, if you come to the door rashly, the other party doesn't want to see you or has no time to see you, which will make both parties very embarrassed.

But obviously, as long as Xiao Jie doesn't feel embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is Zhou Jun himself.

In Zhou Jun's heart, there are 1 people who don't want to see Xiao Jie.

He is the elder brother of Concubine Zhou Shu's mother and compatriot, and the uncle of King Xiao Heng of Chu. There is no doubt that he is on his nephew's side in the battle for the heir apparent.

Of course he would not think that Xiao Jie's visit was to win over himself and the Zhou family, and he was even more worried that Xiao Jie's visit was to arouse the teacher's guilt.

After all, everyone knows that although Zheng Lang, who publicly humiliated Xiao Jie at the court meeting, was not surnamed Zhou, he came from the Zhou family's family education. , who does not know that he is his henchman.

Now Zheng Lang failed to humiliate Xiao Jie, but instead provoked a counterattack from Xiao Jie. He was riddled with scandal, ruined his reputation, and ended up being cast aside by everyone. He will let it go, and the next target to deal with may be himself. It is very likely that the door-to-door visit now is to give himself a face-to-face blow, so why should he make trouble for himself, and meet him this side.

But Xiao Jie was already standing outside the gate of the Zhou Mansion. Although Zhou Jun was unwilling in every possible way, he could only send his eldest son Zhou Quan to meet Xiao Jie, so as not to give Xiao Jie another attack on himself and the Zhou family. excuse.

Although Zhou Quan, like his father, couldn't figure out what medicine Xiao Jie sold in the gourd, but his father's order was inevitable, and he didn't dare to neglect it, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the gate, and when he saw Xiao Jie, he immediately bowed and gave a Dali: "The next official, Zhou Quan, see His Royal Highness King Qi."

Zhou Quan's current secretary, Shengwen Linlang, is far lower in rank than Xiao Jie's Sili Captain, so it is appropriate to call himself a junior official, but it also vaguely means to alienate Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie was uncharacteristically, stepped forward enthusiastically to support Zhou Quan, and said cordially: "Brother Zhou, you don't need to be polite, why should you be so ignorant."

Although Zhou Quan is a few years older than Xiao Jie, and can fully bear Xiao Jie's "Brother Zhou" in terms of age, he dare not trust him, and his enthusiasm for Xiao Jie makes him confused. There is no contact here, let alone a deep friendship, Xiao Jie is completely unworthy of such an attitude.

But thinking of the relationship between Xiao Jie and their Zhou family, Zhou Quan couldn't help feeling vigilant, and immediately took a few steps back, bowed to Xiao Jie again, with a blank face, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "I don't dare to be so rude. Dare to ask His Highness why he didn't know why he came to visit my father."

Xiao Jie smiled mysteriously: "My father, Zhou Zhongshuling, gave me such a bad breath, so I naturally want to come to my house and thank you..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jie seemed to think of something all of a sudden, looked around for a while, and then lowered his voice: "This is not a place to talk, let's go in and discuss in detail."

The more Zhou Quan listened, the more confused he became. Where did he go? Why did he vent his anger, and why did he go into the mansion to discuss in detail? His father never said that he had such a relationship with King Qi.

But since Xiao Jie had offered to enter the mansion for a detailed discussion, Zhou Quan couldn't shirk it, so he could only respectfully invite Xiao Jie to enter the mansion, completely ignoring that a pair of eyes were staring at what was happening at the gate not far away. , eyes full of anger and sadness.

At this moment, Zheng Lang's mood was the same as his eyes, apart from anger, there was only sadness.

Zheng Lang refused to humiliate Xiao Jie in public at the court meeting. After all, everyone knew that Xiao Jie was not a good person. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and offend Xiao Jie in public. As expected, Xiao Jie's most vicious counterattack and revenge were incurred, which resulted in his own ruin, the wrath of all people and gods, and the ruin of his official career.

Now that Zheng Lang is at a loss, what he needs most is Zhou Jun, the instigator, to help him. But now he mustered up the courage to come to the Zhou mansion, but he saw a scene that made him unable to believe his eyes. Xiao Jie actually came to see Zhou Jun, yes Zhou Jun's eldest son, Zhou Quan, talked and laughed, with a very friendly attitude. He even vaguely heard Xiao Jie say something like thanking Zhou Jun for helping him out.

Zheng Lang could think with his toes, what else could Xiao Jie say out of anger, it was nothing more than revenge for humiliating him at the court meeting, and to expose his scandal in the "Sili Times" Turning his head upside down, making himself a laughing stock of the world.

Zheng Lang was still surprised before that the matter of abandoning Wu Ji's mother and child in order to preserve his reputation was clearly covered up, even his parents didn't know about it, but Xiao Jie easily dug it out and made it public.

Seeing this situation now, Zheng Lang naturally understands the reasons behind it all. At first, the Zhou family paid for him to appease the dancer girl so that she would stop making trouble, and then gave her a large sum of money to let her leave the capital and go far away. From now on, he stopped pestering him in another land. Although he helped Zheng Lang solve a big problem, the Zhou family also took advantage of this to grab him and firmly controlled him, so that he didn't dare to have second thoughts.

Looking at it now, it is clear that the Zhou family betrayed themselves ruthlessly in order to appease Xiao Jie's anger, and pushed all the blame on themselves. Xiao Jie breathed out a bad breath to calm down Xiao Jie's anger.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

I was clearly instigated by Zhou Jun to fight against Xiao Jie, but when Xiao Jie was angered, he incurred fierce revenge. When I was in danger, Zhou Jun not only failed to abide by the previous agreement to help him, but also made trouble, betrayed himself , trying in vain to sacrifice himself in exchange for Xiao Jie's reconciliation.

Seeing Zhou Quan respectfully invite Xiao Jie into the mansion, at this moment, Zheng Lang felt completely hopeless, and even had an urge to rush into the Zhou mansion to confront Zhou Jun in front of Xiao Jie, to ask clearly about his feelings towards Zhou Jun. He has always been obedient, why did Zhou Jun treat him like this.

But the last trace of clarity in his mind suppressed his inner impulse, and Zheng Lang didn't just walk away, but stayed where he was, staring fixedly at the direction of the gate of Zhou Mansion.

After all, Xiao Jie was still in the Zhou mansion, so he didn't dare to go in, but when Xiao Jie left, he had to go in and ask Zhou Jun face to face, asking him to explain why he dared to treat himself like this!
