The boat finally docked.
Since it is not a ferry, after the ship ran aground, the bow was still some distance from the shore. Taishi Ci jumped up and jumped to the shore. He ordered his soldiers to remove several ship planks, set up a simple shelf, and picked up the people on the ship one by one.
Zhang Heng originally planned to set off directly, but he didn't want to be stopped.
Looking at the old man with a bad expression in front of him, Zhang Heng's mouth twitched slightly, and he had already guessed the identity of the other person.
"Meet Mr. Cai!"
Helpless, Zhang Heng had no choice but to bow his hand to Cai Yong.
Cai Yong waved his sleeves and sneered: "Humph, Captain Zhang is being polite, I can't bear it!"
This sentence startled Cai Yan next to him.
Father, we are still in the hands of others. Although you are a great scholar in the world, you shouldn't be so showy!
And only then did she see Zhang Heng's appearance clearly, and she was surprised to find that Zhang Heng was actually the passerby she saved in the busy city that day.
It can only be said that although Cai Yan was talented and intelligent and had read poetry and books since childhood, he was still a bit immature and did not understand politics at all.
For a person like Cai Yong, who has many talents all over the world, he can either kill him directly and put the blame on others. Or do everything you can to win over him and treat him as a guest at the table.
Cai Yong obviously understood this. Since Zhang Heng did not choose to kill him, he could only win over him.
The reason why I put on a show is actually to bargain.
Sure enough, even though Cai Yong spoke very rudely, Zhang Heng showed no signs of being angry. Instead, the smile on his face became more modest and his posture became lower.
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Cai, feel free to speak out. I will listen to my teachings respectfully." Zhang Heng said again.
Cai Yong didn't appreciate it, and continued to sneer: "I have already learned the thunderous tactics of Captain Zhang last night, how can I dare to say any more!"
"Mr. Cai was joking. What happened last night was because he had no choice but to kill the Dong thief's minions. Please forgive me if I have disturbed Gong Cai."
Zhang Heng said apologetically, and at the same time introduced a huge political correctness, which made Cai Yong speechless for a moment.
What, do you think Dong Min should not be killed?
Then you should kill him.
After pondering for a moment, Cai Yong continued: "It is natural that Thief Dong's minions should be killed, but yesterday was my daughter's wedding day, and the captain made such a fuss, how should this matter end?"
Stop talking nonsense, you have to give me some compensation.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng immediately looked solemn and said loudly: "The Dong thief was cruel and unethical, and people and gods were angry. Cai Gong did not hesitate to feed the tiger with his own body, and took advantage of his beloved daughter's wedding day to kill the thief. Such high integrity can be a model for scholars! "
Cai Yong:? ? ?
Good guy, how long is this kid's mouth that he can distort the facts like this!
It was obviously you who killed Dong Min, but you put the blame on me.
Cai Yong was furious. Just when he was about to retort, he suddenly froze.
Isn't this the compensation Zhang Ziyi gave himself?
Only then did he react.
In the camp of the Guandong princes, killing Dong Min would be a huge achievement. Now that Zhang Ziyi said it was planned by himself, it was equivalent to giving the majority of the credit to himself.
Even with his own daughter, he can gain a reputation as someone who feeds tigers with his own body. From then on, he has an additional talisman.
Cai Yong raised his head and met Zhang Heng's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He understood everything in an instant.
The scheming of this man is truly unfathomable!
Seeing that Cai Yong didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Heng smiled again and said, "Does Mr. Cai still have any doubts?"
"In the bloody battle last night, my virtuous son-in-law also died tragically under a knife, leaving my little daughter a widow before she even got married. So what can I say?" Cai Yong continued to bargain, but this time it was for his daughter.
Hearing this, Cai Yan's expression changed and he tugged at the corner of his father's clothes to signal him to stop talking.
But Zhang Heng didn't care, and still said loudly: "Cai Gong made a plan to kill the rebels. As the son-in-law of Cai Gong, Mr. Zhongdao did his duty and fought hard with the rebels. He died of exhaustion after killing dozens of traitors. . With such bravery and courage, I can be called a loyal man, but it is a pity that God is jealous of talents. When I return to Xingyang, I will definitely report it to the emperor and claim his merits!"
The exact same words as before made Cai Yong's eyes widen.
Zhang Ziyi, you are such a unique trick, you can eat it all over the world!
But this is good, it can be regarded as an explanation to the Hedong Wei family.
"Does Mr. Cai still have doubts?" Zhang Heng continued to ask with a smile.
"But I don't know where this trip is going?"
Cai Yong thought for a moment and continued to ask, but this time his tone was much more polite.
"Xingyang."
"I must go too?" Cai Yong asked again.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Nowadays, Cai Yong is alone in the chaos of war. How will he protect himself if he encounters a bad guy? I really can't bear Cai Gong being harmed by bandits, so I'd better follow him to Xingyang."
Old guy, I've given you all the benefits and you still want to run away. Could it be that you want to explode the gold coins?
Cai Yong couldn't refuse, and there was no problem, so he nodded.
"In this case, I will rely on the captain from now on."
Zhang Heng quickly returned the courtesy and said: "Mr. Cai, there is no need to be polite."
Turning around and about to give the order to set off, Zhang Heng suddenly noticed a girl with a lot of hair tied behind Cai Yong. She was actually the girl in red that he met in the busy city that day.
Could it be that she was also a member of Cai Yong's family, but why was she tied up?
Seeing Zhang Heng's doubtful look, Tai Shi Ci, a genius of logic, hurriedly stepped forward and narrated the whole incident. At the end, he winked at Zhang Heng proudly.
Chief Secretary, I think you can do things reliably, so I brought the person to you directly.
After hearing what happened, Zhang Heng was no longer able to complain, so he could only hold his forehead and sigh, looking at Tai Shi Ci with a speechless face.
You are such a clever little ghost!
I just glanced at her, and you said I liked her and kidnapped her. How are you so smart?
I really thank you, you are such a nice person!
Then if I look at you every day, does it mean that I like you? Why don't you wash yourself off and put it on my bed?
Seeing Zhang Heng staring at him strangely, Taishi Ci suddenly felt uncomfortable and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Master, is there something wrong?"
The chief clerk shouldn't blame me for tying his sweetheart too tightly, but the situation was urgent, what could I do.
inappropriate?
There is nothing wrong, who dares to do anything wrong!
You, Taishi Ci, are so good at handling things, aren't you?
Zhang Heng took a deep breath and had no time to argue with Tai Shici. He just waved his sleeves and said, "Kill him."
"ah!"
Taishi Ci couldn't believe his ears.
Not only him, but also Xun You and Xu Rong were stunned.
Zhang Ziyi was too cruel, he actually wanted to kill his sweetheart.
It's good that she is the granddaughter of Thief Dong, but she's just a woman, and it doesn't hurt to have her in the house.
It has to be said that Tai Shici's previous operations were too confusing, causing everyone to identify Dong Bai as Zhang Heng's forbidden love.
Although the taste may be a bit bad, Captain Zhang likes it and you can't care less.
