Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

After listening to the words of the two, Chen Chu just nodded, and then looked up and asked the iron guard who came to report the news: "Where are the two ladies now?"

The Iron Guard replied.

Chen Chu nodded, and then said to Lu Su Xu Shu: "The two gentlemen will come with me to see what is going on." "

Yes, my lord. The two of them clenched their fists and promised.

At the same time, in the inner hall at a short distance from the study.

"Sister Diao Chan, do you think the eldest brother will be angry with me?" Zhang Rui, who had blood on her face, grabbed Diao Chan's hand and asked worriedly.

Diao Chan smiled slightly and comforted: "How could it be? This time the incident is completely Zhang Tai's fault, and the eldest brother will never blame his sister!" Although Diao Chan said this in his mouth, he was as uneasy as Zhang Rui in his heart. After all, killing and injuring dozens of people on the street, this matter is a bit too big!"

Zhang Rui nodded, but his expression did not become relaxed at all because of Diao Chan's comfort.

Just as the two women were talking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside. Immediately, an iron guard flashed into the inner hall and quickly reported: "Two ladies, the lord is here."

When Zhang Rui heard this, she panicked. I saw her hurriedly looking around, as if she was looking for a place to hide. At this moment, Zhang Rui's appearance is both pitiful and funny.

At this moment, Chen Chu walked into the inner hall accompanied by Xu Shu Lusu.

"Big brother. Diao Chan called out and saluted at the same time. Zhang Rui also called, but the sound was like a gnat, Zhang Rui hung her head, and didn't dare to look at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu nodded at Diao Chan first, and then came to Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui realized that Chen Chu had come to the front, and Zhen couldn't help but hang lower.

"Rui'er. Chen Chu called.

"Great, big brother. Zhang Rui finally raised her head and responded with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Rui's pair of eyes turned up and down, left and right, looking very uneasy, coupled with the stains on Zhang Rui's face, Zhang Rui looked like a child who had done something wrong at this time.

In fact, Zhang Rui's worries were completely superfluous, how could Chen Chu blame her for such a thing! In Chen Chu's heart, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan were the most precious

! Chen Chu looked at Zhang Rui with a smile, stretched out his finger and gently wiped the blood stains on Zhang Rui's face, and asked, "Aren't you injured?" Zhang Rui

didn't expect that the eldest brother didn't blame herself, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook her head and said, "No! How can something happen to me?"

Chen Chu sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You! When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, show your identity, don't fight and kill at every turn." I don't want to see you and Cicada hurt!" Hearing

these words, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan were immediately moved. Zhang Rui nodded even harder.

Immediately, Zhang Rui raised his head, looked at Chen Chu with shining eyes, and asked, "Big brother, are you really not angry with Rui'er?" Zhang Rui's expression looked very worried.

"Big brother, this matter is actually not my sister's fault!" Diao Chan immediately defended Zhang Rui.

Chen Chu smiled and nodded at Diao Chan, then scratched Zhang Rui's nose lovingly, and said, "Why should I blame my good Rui'er? In this case, you should kill that Zhang Tai!" Speaking of this, Chen Chu's expression suddenly became hideous.

Hearing Chen Chu say this, Zhang Rui immediately patted her chest and let out a long breath. "I'm worried about me! I've always been worried that my eldest brother will blame Rui'er for this!"

After affirming that Chen Chu didn't blame her, Zhang Rui's heart that had been carrying it finally let go.

Then Zhang Rui took Diao Chan's slender hand and said to Chen Chu: "Big brother, Sister Diao Chan and I won't bother you to talk to the two gentlemen about business." I'm going to hurry up and deal with my big fish. Zhang Rui's expression was very excited.

"Big fish?!" Chen Chu couldn't help but show a puzzled look.

Diao Chan pursed her lips and smiled, explaining: "Big brother, my sister just went to the street to buy a big fish so that she could cook a pot of fresh fish soup for her eldest brother

!" "Oh!" Chen Chu's eyes lit up, and then he turned his gaze to Zhang Rui, his eyes became very gentle, "Rui'er!" Chen Chu called out very gently.

Zhang Rui's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and then he pulled Diao Chan and ran away quickly.

Looking at the delicate backs of the two girls, Chen Chu couldn't help but chuckle.

After the two girls left, Chen Chu's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Where is Zhang Tai now?" Chen Chu asked an iron guard next to him. This iron guard is one of the iron guards who followed Zhang Rui Diao Chan just now.

"Following Madame Rui's order, Zhang Tai and a dozen of his subordinates were all taken to the Assassin's Mansion. The guard replied immediately.

"How is Zhang Tai's situation now?" Chen Chu asked again.

Zhang Tai had lost too much blood and had passed out. However, after the doctor's treatment, his life is no longer in danger.

Chen Chu nodded, and then asked Xu Shu Lu Su: "What do the two gentlemen think about this?"

The two looked at each other, and then Lu Su replied: "Zhang Tainai is Zhang Yuan's only son, and Zhang Yuan is the largest scholar family in Bingzhou. This Zhang Tai was injured by Madame Rui, I am afraid that it will stimulate Zhang Tai, I am worried that Zhang Yuan will not do something unfavorable to us at this critical juncture!"

Hearing this, Chen Chu couldn't help frowning, and his face was worried.

At this time, Xu Shu continued: "My lord, the scholars of the state have always been dissatisfied with us, and they may use this matter as an excuse to attack us!" Chen

Chu couldn't help but sigh and said with annoyance: "Since I joined the state, I have also implemented many policies that are beneficial to the scholars, but why have they always been with me and want to get rid of me quickly?"

Xu Shu immediately clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said: "The lord doesn't need to worry about this matter! The people of the scholar clan will never be satisfied with what they have obtained! Although the lord has implemented a lot of policies to protect the scholar clan, the benefits they can get now are still far less than in the past, and the scholar clan will naturally be dissatisfied with the lord and our northern army!" Chen

Chu frowned slightly and asked, "Do you say that the policies I have implemented since I joined the state are appropriate?"

"My lord, your policy of encouraging farming, encouraging commerce and trade, and improving the status of military personnel can be said to be very correct! Just over a year ago, everyone knew in their hearts what the situation was in Bingzhou, and now Bingzhou has become quite prosperous, although it is not as good as Luoyang, but it surpasses all other cities, at least not inferior to all other cities! The people of our state live and work happily, and although the people's life is not yet rich, it can be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing! In other parts of the world, where can this be done? I conquered the northern army and fought a bloody battle with the barbarians on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and I managed to stabilize the northern frontier with my own strength! Which prince in the world can do it?" Xu Shu said with great excitement.

Lu Su on the side nodded and agreed: "Yuan Zhi is right! The lord doesn't have to be annoyed by the centrifugation of the scholar clan!"

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Chen Chu's mood improved a lot. Chen Chu nodded and smiled, "What the two of you said is good! Okay, don't talk about this!". Then the conversation changed and asked: "For this Zhang Tai, how do the two gentlemen think they should deal with it?"

After the two thought for a while, Lu Su first said: "Lord, this is a critical juncture, we might as well take this opportunity to hold this Zhang Tai in our hands in order to restrain Zhang Yuan." "。 Lu Su's meaning was actually to use Zhang Tai as a hostage to blackmail Zhang Yuan, so that Zhang Yuan would not dare to act rashly at this moment.

Xu Shu nodded and agreed: "Zijing's plan is very good! I also think that this is the best way!" Chen

Chu thought for a while, and then decided: "Then according to what the two gentlemen said, Zhang Tai will be temporarily detained in the Assassin's Mansion." Zhang

Tai's home is located on South Street, where the scholars live. In the forest of the courtyard on this South Street, everyone from the state basically lives here. If you are not a scholar, you are not qualified to live on South Street, of course, this is not a rule of the government, but an unspoken rule that the scholars maintain very tacitly.

Zhang Tai's home is known as Zhang Yuan, and it is interesting to note that the name of this mansion is the same as his father's name. Zhang Yuan covers an extremely large area and is the largest mansion in South Street, which is of course related to his status as the first scholar in the state. There were as many as five or six hundred servants and thugs in Zhang Yuan.

Just as Zhang Tai was arrested and sent to the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Yuan, who was staying at home, received news about his son Zhang Tai.

"Master, it's not good! The young master has been arrested and sent to the Assassin's Mansion!" the housekeeper Zhang Jing ran to report to Zhang Yuanyu with a worried face.

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't react for a while.

"Master!" the butler shouted again when he saw this.

"What? what did you say?" Zhang Yuan, who reacted, asked in disbelief. So the butler told the story again.

"Chen Chu actually dared to arrest my son!" Zhang Yuan roared with an extremely ugly face. Immediately, Zhang Yuan asked in a deep voice

, "What is going on?" The butler glanced at Zhang Yuan's face, swallowed his saliva, and then said, "Yes, it's because the young master is molesting the hussar general's wife on the street." The

housekeeper's voice was very soft, but it was like a thunderbolt in Zhang Yuan's ears.

"What are you talking about, how dare Tai'er do this!" Then Zhang Yuan fell silent, and after a while, he said in a gloomy voice: "I think it was Chen Chu who wanted to attack our Zhang family, so he arranged such a crime!" It's no wonder that Zhang Yuan thinks so, just imagine how a person with a normal brain would do such a thing, it is simply a joke about his own life and that of his family.

However, the housekeeper Zhang Jing said: "Master, I'm afraid it is indeed the young master's misconduct

!" Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked, "What do you mean by this?"

The housekeeper Zhang Jing hurriedly knelt down and explained: "The old slave has already inquired about the place where the young master had an accident, and the young master really tried to tease the two ladies of the hussar general, so he was injured and caught by the guards beside the two ladies!"

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, this was too unbelievable for him!

"This is not a good thing!" Zhang Yuan scolded helplessly, and then suddenly remembered that Zhang Jing mentioned that his son was injured, so he asked urgently: "Zhang Jing, you just said that the young master was injured and captured, what is going on?"
