The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 438 Zhai Muzhi

   "It turned out to be Brother Xie." Zhao Changhe remained calm, pretending to be reserved as a superior should be in the kingly way, and said lightly: "Wang is tired of staying in the Central Plains, and wants to go around."

  Although the exercise control has changed the voice a little bit, but if you haven't practiced it, you haven't practiced it. It doesn't sound too much like Wang Daozhong's voice.

   Fortunately, Xie Ruhai is not very familiar with Wang Daozhong, at most, he met a few times in the early years, and the voice cannot be distinguished very clearly. In fact, in the eyes of real acquaintances, the appearance can also be seen differently, and it can be seen that they are not familiar with each other if they can be mistaken on the street.

  Hearing what Zhao Changhe said, Xie Ruhai felt a little funny. It is said that this person was arrested not long ago, and it seems that he was released by the operation. Of course, it is not suitable to continue to hang around under the noses of the Yang family and Zhenmosi.

   Now it seems that it has gone far to the southwest.

  He smiled and said: "Mr. Daozhong came here from a long way, why don't you find the prefect Zhai? Let's do the landlord's friendship."

  Zhao Changhe secretly thought God knew how well Zhai Muzhi and Wang Daozhong knew each other, so he would only go there if he was a fool, let alone where did he come from? He shook his head and said, "Wang has something to go to Miaojiang, I don't want to delay..."

   Originally, I wanted to say a few polite words, but when I got to the point of speaking, I suddenly felt that I was an idiot, why are you being polite for Wang Daozhong? Wouldn't it be nice to offend more people?

  So proudly said: "Besides, Zhai Muzhi is not qualified to let Wang pay a visit."

  Beside Li Si'an showed an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at him, secretly mourning for Wang Daozhong.

  Wherever this Zhao Changhe goes, his reputation for being a hero is getting better and better, his friends are getting more and more, the reputation of Wang Daozhong is getting worse and worse, and both good and evil are enemies. What kind of evil did this do...

  Over there, Xie Ruhai felt very used to it. The arrogance of top aristocratic families, not to mention being on the list of Wang Daozhong, even a random dandy, might be even more arrogant than Wang Daozhong. He didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a low smile: "Then don't disturb Mr. Daozhong's meal."

   After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted, and left.

  Zhao Changhe looked at the restaurant next to him, and said in pain: "Is it possible that we can't eat this meal?"

  Li Si'an smiled and said, "Why did you say that?"

   "If he reports back to Zhai Muzhi, saying that Wang Daozhong eats here, if Di Muzhi really comes to see Wang Daozhong, wouldn't it be a lie..."

  Li Si'an smiled and said: "If what we know is correct, Zhai Muzhi has never seen Wang Daozhong. If there is no fate in the world, most of the people will only hear his name in his life, and only have friends with him. Do you think everyone is like you wandering around the world?"

   "Ah? Aren't they about the same age, from aristocratic families, and officials? Didn't they hang out together when they were young?"

   "Not all of them have met, especially in the closed area of ​​Shu, where there are fewer friends. Of course, what we know may not be complete, maybe there are personal relationships that we don't know about." Li Si'an said: "How, do you want to meet? If you want to investigate the secret of the disappearance of the sword house, maybe you can find some clues by asking him."

  Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, then nodded.

  The matter of Jianlu is too closely related to Yue Hongling, if you have the opportunity to investigate, you will always have to try, at worst, you will reveal your secrets, Li Si'an just shirks his lack of familiarity and is deceived, and it's over.

  The two of them entered the restaurant, ordered some food and wine at random, and did not eat a few bites. Sure enough, there was a commotion at the door, and hearty laughter came: "Brother Wang came from a long way, why don't you say something, so that the younger brother can clean up the dust? It's so unreasonable."

  Zhao Changhe keenly noticed that all the diners in the restaurant turned pale, and no one dared to sit still, so they all stood up and retreated to the side. The boss's legs were trembling and shaking non-stop.

this…

   It's not like ordinary people's awe of officials, I'm afraid it's fear to the bone.

  Even Li Si'an got up and saluted: "The prefect is well."

  Zhai Muzhi nodded politely at Li Si'an: "Sit down, fourth master."

   As he spoke, he took a seat beside Zhao Changhe, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, do you think this kind of small shopkeeper is also popular?"

  Zhao Changhe glanced at him.

   Obviously he is a gentle middle-aged man with a refined appearance, five willows and long beards, handsome and temperament, but with the surrounding scenes, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of coldness.

  Zhao Changhe ate the small dishes leisurely, without raising his head: "I'm just passing by, and I'll leave soon. What's the point of going out? Brother Zhai has a lot of things to do every day, so I don't want to bother him."

  Zhai Muzhi seemed completely unaware that he said just now that "Zhai Muzhi is not qualified to let Mr. Wang come to see you", and smiled very brightly: "Since Brother Wang is here, there is no opportunity to catch a hair of Brother Wang. Come here! Serve the food!"

  Following the voice, the dishes were served outside the door like water.

  Zhao Changhe sat at an ordinary small square table, and the dishes were only enough to hold a few dishes before it was full. The servants stood by the side with other dishes and waited on them, and they did not even dare to move.

   Most of the dishes are the kind that require a lot of rare birds to make a little heart. Zhao Changhe thought of the barrenness along the way.

  The aristocratic families and the sufferings of the people have always been two worlds.

  Actually, most of Cui Wang, Yang Tang and other families are not much better, but they have not done it so obviously, at least not deliberately. When Wang Zhaoling entertained Qianlong back then, although the dishes on the banquet were good, it made people think that this is what a rich family is like, not to the extent that it feels too much... It may be that their family has passed the pattern of being a bit of a nouveau riche.

   But in fact, there is not much difference in his bones. You can tell from Zhai Muzhi's attitude towards Wang Daozhong, he is a person all the way.

  Fa Chi and others followed Maitreya to rebel, at least they weren't all fooled at first... That's why there is a real reason for rebellion, and there are also people in Maitreya. Bandits and bandits everywhere may not really want to be thieves. Back then Xue Canghai formed Wushan camp, taught the crowd like an army, sharpened their knives, he was really waiting for an opportunity.

  How many people in the world are similar to the law idiot Xue Canghai...

  So although Zhao Changhe respects Tang Wanzhuang’s loyalty to the empire and his desire to stabilize the world, what he really agrees with in his heart is that Suzaku’s delay in their rebellion was justified, and he hoped that Tang Wanzhuang would disarm and return to the fields.

  That's right, why didn't I think of it before, this is the main reason...

  Those thoughts flashed through my mind, pretending to be well-informed, and said indifferently: "Brother Di makes it difficult for me..."

  Zhai Muzhi smiled and said: "What? Could it be that Zhai's hospitality is not good?"

  Zhao Changhe shook his head: "Wang is going to Miaojiang, but he has to be prepared to endure hardships. What if Brother Zhai spoils his appetite and is reluctant to go?"

  Zhai Muzhi clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Brother Wang, you are too worried. A person like you can't suffer anywhere."

   "Oh?" Zhao Changhe said: "Brother Zhai is very familiar with Miao Jiang, right? It seems that Brother Zhai is in charge of the Xuanwei Department over there?"

   "Not directly, not directly." Zhai Muzhi smiled and said: "Of course, if Brother Wang is going, Zhai can still play a role."

  Zhao Changhe deliberately asked: "Wang has caused some trouble in Hongnong, brother Zhai, isn't he afraid of making a fuss?"

  It is said that it is a matter of Hongnong, but in fact the essence is that the Wang family has shown their displeasure. He, Zhai Muzhi, is still so affectionate, what is he trying to do?

  Zhai Muzhi didn't seem to understand, he said with a smile: "Who's family didn't do anything wrong... In the future, Brother Wang will accompany the Yang family, maybe it will be over. Who can really have trouble with Brother Wang?"

  Zhao Changhe smiled slightly, and raised his glass to signal: "Then please brother Zhai have a chance to make things right."

   "It's easy to say, easy to say." Zhai Muzhi raised his glass and clinked, and asked with a smile: "Brother Wang went to Miaojiang, why is it? Is there anything that needs Zhai's help?"

   "That is to get to know the chieftain of the Southwest, and see if we can develop a little family business. It would be great if Brother Zhai can make a bridge."

   "It's easy to say." Zhai Muzhi handed over a waist card: "Brother Wang takes my waist card to the Southwest Xuanwei Division, and they will always give some face."

  Zhao Changhe took the waist card and said with a smile: "Brother Zhai, I have recorded this favor in Wang Daozhong. If you come to Langya in the future, Wang will do his best to entertain you."

  Li Si'an almost spit out his wine.

  However, Zhao Changhe changed the subject and asked in a chatty manner: "Speaking of which, Wang passed by Bashan here. He wanted to pay a visit, but found that there was no one in the Jianlu. What's the matter?"

   "We are also investigating this matter. I don't know when people in Jianlu quietly went to the empty building. Bashu was stunned. No one knew what happened." Zhai Muzhi smiled and said: "It's actually not unusual. If you find a good secret place as a sect base, it's normal for the sect to change places... If after a while, the disciples of Jianlu come out to walk the rivers and lakes again, the truth will naturally come to light. This kind of thing is not worth spending any energy on."

  Zhao Changhe was thoughtful.

   There are not many people in Jianlu. If the faction is really relocated, there will be quite a lot of noise. With such a powerful combat force operating on a large scale, it is impossible for the prefect of Shu County to be silent. Besides, it is said that many of you are unnamed disciples of Jianlu.

  Zhai Muzhi's statement must be a cover for Jianlu.

  Perhaps the Sword House could disappear so silently, and Zhenmensi took such a long time to get wind of it. It may be the result of the official cover behind it.

  Looking at it this way, the relocation may really have nothing to do with Yue Hongling... On the contrary, it was Yue Hongling who ran into something unusual after their relocation and was about to be silenced, so the fight broke out...

   Isn’t it really Tingxuelou?

   How did it get complicated...
