Chapter 094 The lobbyist

Yang Mengqi quickly stopped the development of the previous step. After all, no one dared not listen to her words. She can see that Chu Dalang has done more than a little harm to the little sister of the Li family. Let her not have to pass the dishes again and have a good rest. The little sister of the Li family, who got the "ordict", was in a much better mood and returned to the kitchen.

She originally told Yang Mengqi's words to the steward Wu. Wu's mother, who knew it, called a slightly clever little maid to take over her job without saying a word. The smile on the Li family's sister-in-law, who was a little proud, appeared on her face in an instant. After all, her daughter could be appreciated by the eldest lady, so her face was also glorious.

A servant quietly walked to Lin Zimo, who was drinking happily, and said on the left side, "Sir, there are guests visiting. People are already waiting in the lobby. He said that he was your old friend and insisted that you go to see him.

Lin Zimo, who put down the wine bowl, thought to himself, his old friend. Even if there is a deceased person, they will sit here. Since some people dare to claim to be their old friends, they must meet each other, or they don't know the etiquette. When he got up, he did not be polite to Zhao Wenxuan. After all, he heard all the words.

The little man with a lantern led his master into the front hall. Lin Zimo saw a man in a black cloak with his back to him. After three steps forward, he found that this figure was really familiar. I didn't remember it for a moment, and I thought, is it possible that I can really meet my old friend on New Year's Eve?

"Excuse me, which one are you?" Lin Zimo, who stopped in place, put his hands behind him and said slowly.

He saw that the man put down the hat on the cloak first, then slowly turned around and said with a strange smile, "Master Lin, are all right. Oh, no. Now, I should call you Lin Zhixian.

Lin Zimo took a closer look and found that this person was not his old friend, but Zhang Chi, the former magistrate who had fled before. Seeing his calm and calm face, what was the purpose of his coming here? Lin Zimo, who doesn't think about good things, really doesn't want to believe that the person in front of him has the ability to retreat from heaven and earth. After all, he has abandoned the city twice and can come back like a child. I'm really puzzled that I'm not willing to accept this cruel reality.

Lin Zimo, with a blank face, continued to take a few steps forward, turned around and sat in the circle chair he usually sat in, and said lullly, "Should I call you Zhang Zhixian or something else?"

Zhang Chi, who sat slowly on the chair, deliberately patted the dust on his clothes and smiled, "Now, I am no longer an official of his Zhu family, but a rebel soldier in your mouth."

Lin Zimo, who understood, clearly knew that he had defected and defected to the rebels. As for why Zhang Chi defected to the rebels, he had no interest in knowing it, but he had a little interest in his purpose this time.

"You must be wondering why I came to you?" Before he could speak, Zhang Chi continued, "To tell you the truth, I'm here to be a lobbyist. Why do you have to work hard to protect the country and world of their Zhu family? Our general said that as long as you surrender to Xiancheng, you will be the founding father of the country in the future, and you will be listed as the third princes.

Lin Zimo, who felt angry and funny, said painlessly, "It seems that I'm going to disappoint you. I have neither morality nor talent, and I dare not take the position of three princes. It's my sin to let you go for nothing on New Year's Eve.

Zhang Chi further persuaded, "Why do you have to be loyal? The Zhu family didn't steal it from other people's hands. Although the world is not in chaos now, it is also everywhere. In a few years, the world will definitely be in chaos, and it is unknown whether the Ming Dynasty is still surnamed Zhu. What is there to miss in Qipinzhi County in a small land? You should take this opportunity to build achievements, so that you can leave a name for your descendants, and make a good book in history books.

Lin Zimo, who was indifferent, had no intention of betrayal at all. He said calmly, "I'm not good at learning and can't afford to take on this big task. If you have nothing else to do, go back first. I'm still going to spend the New Year with my family.

Zhang Chi's face became gloomy in an instant and said, "I might as well tell you. If you don't know the current affairs, we will send a large army to attack your Pingnan county. On the day of the destruction of the city, not only will your life be in security, but also the people of the whole city will not survive. Last time, our marshal was injured by you and almost lost his life. He wanted to repay his grievances with virtue, but you were so ignorant.

Lin Zimo, who could hear clearly, was probably caught by the rebels soon after he escaped from the south of the city. I'm glad that I won the sneak attack, otherwise if I really want Chu Erlang to lead his family to escape, I can only end up being captured alive. Without a sound, he was not weighing Zhang Chi's words, but thinking that the last rebel tactics should belong to the attack on the north of the city, deliberately creating the hypothesis of safety in the south of the city. Their purpose is to deceive themselves not to break the boat. After all, the rebels don't want to lose too much of their strength.

Zhang Chi's face has slightly improved, and he continued to persuade him both softly and hard: "Those who know the current affairs are handsome. Why do you have to touch stones with eggs? I might as well tell you that the general personally brought tens of thousands of horses this time. There are only tens of thousands of people in Pingnan County in your small land, so it's only a matter of time to break the city.

Lin Zimo, who was not scared by him, said lightly, "What do you think if I take you down and report your achievements to the court?"

Zhang Chi, who was really shocked, looked abnormal and said, "The two countries are at war. If you do that, it's not the work of a gentleman. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about others. Hundreds of people in the city can't resist tens of thousands of us in any case. Therefore, I advise you to leave an extra way out for yourself.

"I'm not a gentleman, so I can't do what a gentleman does." Lin Zimo, who stood up, kicked him down with a chair and said, "I don't know if you are too confident or stupid. I tell you clearly that it's a matter of a day or two to kill you. Since you have sent yourself as a New Year's gift, I have to accept it.

Lin Zimo walked quickly to him and couldn't help kicking Zhang Chi's feet lying on his back on the ground. Lin Zimo's left foot was on Zhang Chi's head, but he moaned painfully at the other party's feet. He shouted and ordered the little man outside the door to call Wang Qiang to himself. The little man who dared not neglect flew to inform the housekeeper who drank red. Wang Qiang, who got the news, did not disturb the surroundings and casually said a reason and went to the front hall.

Seeing Wang Qiang's Lin Zimo, he ordered, "Bring up this beast with a man's face and beast."

The little boy and Wang Qiang hurriedly found the hemp rope and quickly tied Zhang Chi up. Lin Zimo, who didn't want to sweep away everyone's interest, did not intend to explain this matter publicly. After all, it could not cause unnecessary panic. He must ask the two of them to take care of Zhang Chi, a dog, and wait for him to deal with it after the banquet.

Lin Zimo, who left the front hall, returned to his position in the dining room, showing that nothing had happened. He talked and laughed with his relatives, friends and relatives at home. It was not until late at night that the banquet came to an end. Lin Zimo, who didn't let Zhao Wenxuan and Wang Peng fly away, made an excuse to ask them to change places with themselves to continue drinking. Although the two felt a little strange and thought that he was not greedy, they should still promise. Lin Zimo, who took Gao Xiang, and the two of them came to Wang Qiang's north room in the middle court. After all, no one will approach them casually.

"Zhang Chi, why is this bastard here?" Wang Pengfei, who walked into the room, was shocked.

Lin Zimo explained to everyone lightly: "He is a lobbyist for the rebels. I think he must have done a lot of shameless things when he defected to the rebels and would come here to talk to me about the way of a gentleman.

Gao Xiang, who closed the door, realized the arrival of the crisis and sighed, "It seems that this year has not been good."

Lin Zimo was facing Zhao Wenxuan next to him and said seriously, "I think he should know a lot about the rebels. You take him back first and ask him to tell the truth. For a well-dressed beast like him, there is no need to be soft on him. If he doesn't say it, he will toss me to death. And if you cooperate obediently, then everything is easy to say.

"This is natural." Zhao Wenxuan, whose heart is like a mirror, has no sympathy or pity for Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi, who had been scared and pale for a long time, had no previous style and breath, and begged, "Forgive my life! I was also forced by them. If I don't come to be this lobbyist, I'm afraid dozens of people in my family will become their knives. I hope you will let me go for the sake of our former colleagues.

Wang Pengfei, who stepped forward, recalled his brother who died in his hand, kicked him fiercely and scolded, "Damn it, no one will believe your nonsense. If you want to live, just tell me honestly, or I have to let you taste my methods. Whether it's dead or alive, just think about it slowly!"

Lin Zimo, who didn't want to do this at home on New Year's Eve, asked Zhao Wenxuan and Wang Pengfei to take them away quickly and asked them to interrogate them overnight. After all, it was a big deal. At the same time, he also demanded that all the population be strict and should not leak the wind. As for his little servant, Lin Zimo asked them to take him away without considering his feelings.
