"I was just planning to look for this guy, and he showed up on his own." Shen Zheng flicked his sleeves, "Go, bring him in!"

The doorman took the order and when he entered the courtyard again, there was a man following him. It was He Zhan.

He Zhan walked into the courtyard with an upright posture, and his eyes immediately fell on Xie Yunsui who was standing next to Shen Zheng.

He glanced at Xie Yunsui indifferently, and their eyes met in the air. For a moment, hostility filled the air and sparks flew.

He Zhan calmly withdrew his gaze, walked to Shen Zheng with steady steps, slowly bent his knees and bowed, then looked forward with a firm gaze: "Your Excellency, I killed my colleagues for no reason, causing Sun Huxing and two of his men to be missing. I have come to apologize to the captain of the thousand households."

He Zhan placed his hands flat on his thighs, his back straight, and never mentioned the fact that Song Huiling was insulted by Sun Huxing.

Shen Zheng rubbed his forehead with a headache: "General He, you confessed so frankly, why don't you defend yourself? Why did you want to kill Sun Huxing?"

He Zhan kept his back straight, his eyes didn't flicker at all: "I just don't like him."

Shen Zheng suddenly started coughing violently, almost choking to death on his saliva. He quickly stood up, walked over to He Zhan, held his shoulders tightly with both hands, leaned over to his ear, and whispered, "You are making this very difficult for me. At least make up an excuse so that I can help you get away with it."

He Zhan met Shen Zheng's worried eyes and said, "Captain, it is a fact that I killed my colleagues. There is nothing to refute. Captain, just punish me according to the rules."

Shen Zheng walked back and forth in the corridor with his hands behind his back, feeling a headache.

Sun Huxing was just a small person, he didn't take him seriously at all. On the contrary, He Zhan was his favorite general, who could take on any dangerous things for him. He was unwilling to punish He Zhan with a stick because of a good-for-nothing, but if He Zhan was not punished, it would cause criticism.

After thinking it over, he threw this difficult question to Xie Yunsui: "Military Advisor Xie, according to you, how should this matter be decided?"

He Zhan is responsible for military affairs, while Xie Yunsui is responsible for literary affairs. Shen Zheng has made a clear division of the uses of his two favorite generals.

"Return to the captain." Xie Yunsui bowed to Shen Zheng.

He glanced at He Zhan and received a warning look the moment his gaze met the other person's. He understood in his heart why He Zhan insisted on taking the responsibility on himself.

Then he lowered his eyes indifferently, hiding the expression in his eyes, and slowly said, "Zhao Er has confessed. Sun Huxing's words offended decent women. He Zongqi is upright and upright. He can't tolerate such filth under his eyelids. He couldn't help but take action."

"General He's behavior is understandable." Shen Zheng stroked his beard and looked at Xie Yunsui. "Even so, Military Advisor Xie can handle it."

Zhao Er had been beaten to the point of being completely exhausted, but he was still groaning in pain.

Shen Zheng looked up, his expression slightly irritated, and said to Xie Yunsui: "Tell this guy to shut up. I finally managed to close my eyes, but he woke me up again."

"Yes, sir." Xie Yunsui responded calmly.

Shen Zheng waved his hand to call two maids over, who helped him turn around and leave: "Zhao Er is also a soldier. You can teach him a lesson, but don't go too far. At least save some breath."

Xie Yunsui stood with his hands hanging down and watched Shen Zheng leave.

Only after Shen Zheng's figure completely disappeared did He Zhan stand up from the ground.

Xie Yunsui turned around and faced He Zhan, with a teasing smile on his lips: "General He, the captain ordered me to handle this matter. At this moment, I am representing the captain. I did not allow you to stand up."

He Zhan's eyes swept coldly across Xie Yunsui's face without looking at him directly: "You are just a poor top scholar, do you really take yourself seriously?"

Xie Yunsui's anger was easily provoked, and veins on his forehead throbbed faintly. He said with a fake smile, "I don't know if General He's body is as hard as his mouth. No matter what, it is a fact that you beat up your colleagues, and you cannot avoid the caning."

He Zhan suddenly chuckled, "It's just a caning, I can bear it. If Xie Zhuangyuan wants to bend the law for personal gain and deliberately make trouble, I am happy to cooperate. At most, I can cry in my wife's arms after returning, which will win her love and gentle comfort. Xie Zhuangyuan has put so much effort into bringing my husband and I together, and I thank him here."

Xie Yunsui clenched his fists, veins popping out on the back of his hands. His good upbringing had prevented him from swearing. Even though he was extremely angry, he only blurted out four words in anger: "Shameless!"

He Zhan seemed to be unable to see Xie Yunsui's anger and continued to add fuel to the fire: "May I ask how the champion will deal with me? If there is nothing else, I will go back first. My wife personally prepared a meal for me and sent it to the city. I am still busy rushing back to accompany my wife."

Xie Yunsui slowly calmed down. Lingmei must have come to the city to discuss the divorce with He Zhan.

Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes gradually subsided, and he looked at He Zhan with a little more provocation: "General He, since you have something important to do, you can leave first. Maybe after tonight, you will be without a wife."

He Zhan frowned slightly, sensing something unusual: "What do you mean?"

Xie Yunsui finally regained his dignity, raised his chin slightly, and smiled without saying a word.

Some words coming out of his mouth were not very harmful, but he didn't want He Zhan to be too proud.

Youyou said, "It seems that Lingmei has not yet told He Zongqi everything. I hope you can still smile so brightly after tonight."

He Zhan stepped forward, approached Xie Yunsui, grabbed his collar, and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You met with my wife in private?"

Xie Yunsui knew that he was no match for He Zhan in terms of force, so he did not resist. He just stared at him with a sneer in his eyes: "I am not obliged to answer your questions. If you want to attack me, please don't show mercy. Just hit me in the face. I will naturally go to Lingmei to complain about you. Lingmei and I have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. Recalling our past friendship, she will definitely feel sorry for me."

Showing weakness is shameful, but it works well.

He Zhan really loosened Xie Yunsui's collar and said coldly: "You are not qualified for me to do anything! You and my wife are a thing of the past. No matter how much you pester me, it will be useless."

Xie Yunsui's smile deepened: "Don't worry, you will soon become like me and become a part of Lingmei's past."

"Really?" He Zhan raised his lips with a determined look, "Xie Yunsui, I'm not an incompetent and cowardly scholar like you who can't even protect the one he loves. Song Huiling can only be my, He Zhan's, wife in this life. No matter what happens, I will never let her leave me. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. If you keep coveting someone else's wife, don't blame me for being rude!"

After leaving Qianhu Mansion, He Zhan's momentum when facing Xie Yunsui was gone.

A raging fire of jealousy instantly ignited in his heart. He had already guessed what the important matter Song Huiling was talking about, and a smell of blood suddenly filled his chest.

Good, very good!

He had been on duty in the city for such a long time, but Song Huiling had never come to deliver food. Now that he finally came, he wanted to talk about such annoying things!
