"It's Brother Xie." Zhao Changhe remained calm, acting as if he was a superior in the way of the king, and said indifferently: "I am tired of staying in the Central Plains, and I want to travel around."
Although the sound was slightly changed by exercising the power control, it has not been practiced before, and it does not sound very much like the sound in Wang Dao.
Fortunately, Xie Ruhai and Wang Daozhong were not very familiar with each other. At most, they had met a few times in their early years, so they could not distinguish their voices clearly. In fact, in the eyes of true acquaintances, the difference in appearance can be seen. If they could mistake each other on the street, it was obvious that they were not very familiar with each other.
After hearing what Zhao Changhe said, Xie Ruhai felt a little amused. It was said that this person was caught not long ago, and it seemed that he was released through manipulation. Of course, it was not suitable for him to continue to hang around under the noses of the Yang Family and the Demon Suppression Division. He should either stay in Langya or be "exiled" far away.
Now it seems to have gone far to the southwest.
He said with a smile: "Mr. Daozhong has come a long way, why don't you come to see Governor Zhai? That way we can show our hospitality."
Zhao Changhe thought to himself, God knows how familiar Zhai Muzhi is with Wang Daozhong, only a fool would go, not to mention why would he want to cause trouble? He shook his head and said, "Wang has something to do in Miaojiang, and doesn't want to delay..."
I wanted to say something polite, but when the words came to my lips, I suddenly felt like an idiot. Why should I be polite on behalf of Wang Daozhong? Wouldn't it be better to offend more people
So he said proudly: "Besides, Zhai Muzhi is not qualified to let Wang come to see him."
Li Si'an next to him showed an expression of reluctance to watch and secretly mourned for Wang Daozhong.
Wherever Zhao Changhe went, his reputation for chivalry and righteousness became better and better, and he gained more and more friends. His reputation in the royal way became worse and worse, and both the righteous and the evil were his enemies. What kind of sin did he commit...
Xie Ruhai felt very accustomed to it. The top families were arrogant. Not to mention Wang Daozhong who was on the Earth Ranking, even a random playboy might be more arrogant than Wang Daozhong. He did not take it as an offense and smiled softly, "Then I will not disturb Mr. Daozhong's meal."
After saying this, he bowed, said goodbye and left.
Zhao Changhe looked at the restaurant nearby and said angrily, "Can we not have our meal here?"
Li Si'an laughed and said, "Why do you say that?"
"If he reports back to that Zhai Muzhi, saying that Wang Daozhong is having dinner here, and Zhai Muzhi really comes to see Wang Daozhong, wouldn't he be exposed..."
Li Si'an smiled and said, "If what we know is correct, Zhai Muzhi has never met Wang Daozhong. If there is no fate, many people will only hear of him in their lifetime and can only communicate with him spiritually. Do you think everyone is wandering around the world like you?"
"Ah? Aren't they about the same age, both from aristocratic families, and both officials? Didn't they socialize together when they were young?"
"Not all of them have been met, especially in Shu, which is a remote place with fewer people to meet. Of course, what we know may not be complete, and there may be private relationships that we don't know about." Li Si'an said, "How about meeting him? If you want to investigate the mystery of Jianlu's disappearance, maybe you can get some clues by asking him."
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and nodded.
The matter of Jianlu is too closely related to Yue Hongling. If there is a chance to investigate, we must try. At worst, it will be exposed and Li Si'an can just say that he was not familiar with the matter and was cheated.
The two entered the restaurant and ordered some food and drinks. They hadn't taken a few bites when there was a commotion at the door and a hearty laugh came from the room: "Brother Wang, you have come from afar, why didn't you let me know so that I can welcome you? You are so polite."
Zhao Changhe keenly noticed that the faces of the diners in the restaurant had all turned pale. No one dared to sit still, and they all stood up and stepped aside. The boss's legs were trembling and shaking.
this…
It's not like the general public's awe of officials, but rather they are afraid to the core.
Even Li Si'an stood up and saluted: "How are you, Governor?"
Zhai Muzhi nodded politely to Li Si'an and said, "Please sit down, Fourth Master."
As he spoke, he sat down next to Zhao Changhe and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, do you think highly of such a small shop?"
Zhao Changhe glanced at him.
He is obviously a gentle middle-aged man with elegant appearance, long beard, handsome and elegant temperament, but with the surrounding scene, he has a cold feeling no matter how you look at him.
Zhao Changhe ate his side dishes leisurely without even looking up: "I'm just passing by, I'll leave soon. What's the point of being so particular when you're out? Brother Zhai is busy with all kinds of things, so it's not appropriate to disturb him."
Zhai Muzhi seemed to be completely unaware that he had just said "Zhai Muzhi is not worthy of being greeted by Wang Mou", and laughed very heartily: "Since Wang brother is here, all the myriad affairs are not as important as a hair of Wang brother. Come on! Serve the food!"
As the words came out, dishes were brought in like water. Zhao Changhe was sitting at an ordinary small square table, which was full with only enough space for a few dishes. The servants stood by with other dishes, serving him, holding them so steadily that he didn't even dare to move.
Most of the dishes required a lot of rare birds to make a delicious meal. Zhao Changhe thought of the desolation along the way.
The suffering of the aristocratic families and the common people have always been two different worlds.
In fact, most of the Cui, Wang, Yang, Tang and other families were not much better, but they didn't do it so obviously, at least they didn't deliberately show it. When Wang Zhaoling hosted Qianlong for a banquet, although the dishes on the banquet were delicious, it just made people feel that rich families were like this, not to the extent that it felt excessive... Maybe their family has already passed the stage of being suspected of being a nouveau riche.
But in fact, they are not that different in nature. Just look at Zhai Muzhi's attitude towards Wang Daozhong and you will know that they are the same kind of people.
Fa Chi and others followed Maitreya to rebel, at least they were not fooled at first... They really had the reason to rebel, and there were also people in Maitreya. Bandits and robbers from all over the country were not necessarily thieves. When Xue Canghai built a camp in Wushan, his followers were like an army, sharpening their knives, and he was really waiting for an opportunity.
How many people in the world are like Xue Canghai, the man obsessed with Dharma
So although Zhao Changhe respected Tang Wanzhuang's loyalty to the empire and her desire for a stable world, in his heart he truly agreed that Zhuque Chichi and the others were justified in their rebellion, and he hoped that Tang Wanzhuang would retire and return to the countryside. He had never concealed this from Tang Wanzhuang, as she knew it... Wanzhuang was unwilling to really give it to him, and ran away so fast when she saw that his injury was almost healed. Perhaps this was the main reason.
Oh, that’s right. Why didn’t I think of this before? This is the main reason.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he pretended to be knowledgeable and said calmly: "Brother Zhai, this makes it very difficult for me..."
Zhai Muzhi smiled and said, "Why? Do you think that I am not treating you well enough?"
Zhao Changhe shook his head: "If Wang goes to Miaojiang, he must be prepared to endure hardships. What if Brother Zhai spoils his appetite and makes him reluctant to go?"
Zhai Muzhi clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Wang, you worry too much. People like you will never be able to endure hardship anywhere."
"Oh?" Zhao Changhe said, "Brother Zhai is very familiar with Miaojiang, right? It seems that Brother Zhai is in charge of the Xuanwei Division over there?"
"Not directly under my command, not directly under my command." Zhai Muzhi said with a smile, "Of course, if Brother Wang wants to go, I can still be of some use here."
Zhao Changhe deliberately asked: "Wang has caused some trouble in Hongnong, isn't Brother Zhai afraid of getting into trouble?"
It is said to be an incident of Hongnong, but in fact the essence is that the Wang family has revealed their rebellious intentions. Why is Zhai Muzhi still so close to them? What does he want to do
Zhai Muzhi seemed not to understand and said with a smile: "Every family has committed some sins... Brother Wang, if you apologize to the Yang family in the future, maybe it will be forgiven. The King of Langya is unshakable, who can really make things difficult for you?"
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly and raised his glass to indicate, "Then I'd like to ask Brother Zhai to help me turn things around."
"Okay, okay." Zhai Muzhi raised his glass and clinked it with his, then asked with a smile, "Brother Wang, why are you going to Miaojiang? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"That is, to get to know the chieftains of the southwest and see if we can expand the family business. It would be great if Brother Zhai could act as a matchmaker."
"No problem." Zhai Muzhi handed over a badge: "Brother Wang, take my badge to the Southwest Xuanwei Office, they will definitely give you some face."
Zhao Changhe took the badge and said with a smile, "Brother Zhai, I, Wang Daozhong, will remember this favor. If you come to Langya in the future, I will do my best to entertain you."
Li Si'an almost spit out a mouthful of wine.
But Zhao Changhe changed the subject and asked casually, "I passed by Bashan and wanted to visit Shi Wuding, but I found that Jianlu was empty. What happened?"
"We are also investigating this matter. Jianlu has been deserted quietly since some time ago. Bashu is stunned and no one knows what happened." Zhai Muzhi said with a smile, "It's not surprising. If a sect has discovered a good secret place to serve as its base, it is normal for the sect to move to another place... If Jianlu disciples come out to travel around the world again after some time, the truth will naturally be revealed. This kind of thing is not worth spending any energy on."
Zhao Changhe seemed to be thinking about something.
There are quite a few people in Jianlu. If the whole sect really moves, it will cause a lot of noise. As the governor of Shu County, it is impossible for such a powerful force to move on a large scale without getting wind of it. Moreover, it is said that many of you are unofficial disciples of Jianlu. Do you really not care about the changes in your sect
Zhai Muzhi's statement must be a cover-up for Jianlu.
Perhaps the fact that Jianlu disappeared so silently and the Demon Suppression Division was not informed of it until so late might be the result of official cover-up behind the scenes.
From this perspective, the relocation may have nothing to do with Yue Hongling... On the contrary, Yue Hongling encountered something unusual after their relocation and wanted to be silenced, so the fight started...
Could it really not be Listening Snow Tower
How did it get complicated...
