No matter how much conflict Zhang Song and Zhang Su had, it was a matter between the two brothers. The two of them were just two guards. It wouldn't be good if the city gate was on fire and the fish in the moat were implicated.
None of them could bear the anger of these two people.
"Does Master Zhang Su really have something important to discuss with our master?" The two guards on the side asked again.
"Hmph!" The manservant turned around and was about to leave.
"But Master Zhang Su's carriage is about to arrive!" A person who looked like a supervisor in the courtyard walked out and asked.
The two guards took a closer look. This person was none other than the second steward of Zhang Song's mansion. Although this person didn't have the real power as the head steward who had followed Zhang Song for many years, he was also an important figure. At least, he could deal with a few guards like them.
Now that such a grandfather spoke, the guards over there were really sure that Master Zhang Su had something important to discuss with their master.
"Hmph!" The manservant over there was still arrogant. The two guards could only nod their heads shamelessly.
"The two of you, protect Master Zhang Su! Don't fall, otherwise, you two will be interrogated! "The second steward over there said.
"Yes!" The two guards said respectfully.
After waiting for Zhang Su's carriage to arrive, there was naturally a welcome. The guards personally came up to greet him with enthusiasm.
Zhang Su couldn't help but nod. It seemed that this second steward was a bit interesting.
Looking at the Zhang Mansion in front of the door, Zhang Su couldn't help but sigh. He left from here in the beginning. He didn't expect to come back today.
"First Master!" The second steward stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Let's go. Take me to see your master!" Zhang Su said to the second steward.
"Yes!" The second steward let a few guards escort Zhang Su.
Zhang Su frowned because this direction wasn't the place to go to the Zhang family's living room. He, Zhang Su, had been in the Zhang family for decades. How could he not know?
He immediately asked.
"First Old Master, our Old Master said that you're not a guest. You're a family member, so naturally, you don't need to go to the parlor. Moreover, this time, Old Master seems to have something important to discuss with you. That's why he gave up the parlor and chose the study!" The second butler said with a smile.
"Family?!" Although Zhang Su felt very comfortable in his heart, he still snorted coldly, "He still knows me as his big brother! Lead the way! "This was a tacit agreement that they could go to the study.
Soon, Zhang Su was brought into the study.
When he entered the study room, it was completely empty.
"Where's your master?" Zhang Su asked doubtfully.
"First Master, please wait for a moment. Our Master will be here soon! Servants, serve tea to the First Master! "The second steward over there asked someone to bring tea over.
"Hmph! "This Zhang Su originally wanted to leave immediately. What the hell is this? He, Zhang Su, is your big brother. He came to your mansion in person, and you actually asked him to wait for a while. But you, Zhang Song, invited him.
However, when he thought about the attitude of the servants in Zhang Mansion and the fact that he was already here, Zhang Su suppressed his anger and stayed.
The second steward closed the door of the study with a smile and walked out.
Looking at the two servants outside, they looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"We can't stay in Yizhou for a long time. Pack up immediately and leave Chengdu!" The servant said to the steward.
The second steward in Zhang Song's mansion was a spy sent by Yangzhou. He had already planted it when he contacted Fa Zheng. It was only now that he activated it.
"What about you, Master?" The second steward asked.
"I still have things to do!" The servant had to go back to Fa Zheng to report.
"I know! Take care, Master! " After saying that, the second steward did not even prepare his luggage. He took some things and left directly. With money, he could naturally conquer the world.
Seeing the second steward leave, the servant also swaggered out of Zhang Song's mansion.
"Where is Zhang Song?!" Zhang Su was left alone in the study room. There was no one to serve him. He had been left alone for two hours.
If it was just a short time, Zhang Su could still endure it. But it had been two hours. How could Zhang Su endure it?
He immediately became angry. In addition, the old and new hatred from before surged in his heart.
Could it be that this second brother of his was here to humiliate him? Originally, when Zhang Su came, his son, Zhang Biao, asked him to calm down and try his best to talk to Zhang Song nicely.
After all, it was a critical moment for the Zhang family.
But now, how could Zhang Su endure it?
"Preposterous, preposterous!" Zhang Su was furious. He wanted to turn his hand and tear down Zhang Song's study room. However, when Zhang Su was making a scene, he suddenly saw a letter on the desk.
This letter was placed in a very conspicuous place.
Zhang Su looked at it and could not open his eyes!
Because it was clearly written at the beginning of the letter. "Master, Emperor Liu's Uncle, Left General!" After that, there was a lot of content. The last words were written by Zhang Song.
"This, this, this!" Zhang Su saw the letter and his eyes widened. He was so scared that his whole body trembled.
If this letter was real, then it was too scary!
Zhang Su did not doubt that this letter was fake.
After all, it was found in Zhang Song's study room. If it was fake, then what was real?
"Zhang Song and Liu Bei are colluding!" The letter said that Liu Bei should send troops to attack Cai Mao and Kuai Yue together with Yi Province's army before annexing Yi Province.
Logically speaking, Yi Province was already in a critical moment. It could be said that there were tigers in front and wolves behind. Liu Zhang was not a wise ruler.
Yi Province's defeat was only a matter of time. Liu Bei was a traitor. It could be said that if Liu Bei was given the opportunity and time, he would definitely soar to the sky.
Zhang Song also contacted Liu Bei. The Zhang family's status would also rise after Liu Bei unified Yi Province.
It was a pity that this person was greedy and jealous.
Zhang Su was jealous of Zhang Song.
Zhang Su was the eldest son, while Zhang Song was just a concubine. How could Zhang Song be the head of the Zhang family? How could Zhang Su be kicked out of the Zhang family's mansion?
This mansion was the ancestral home of the Zhang family.
Zhang Song said that he was from the Zhang family in Yi Province, while Zhang Su could only say that he was from the Zhang family in Chengdu or a branch of the Zhang family in Yi Province.
Zhang Su could not accept this! All of this should belong to Zhang Su, not Zhang Song. This jealousy burned in Zhang Su's heart.
If Zhang Song really succeeded in contacting Liu Bei and Liu Bei really took over Yi Province, then Zhang Song's position would be unshakable.
At that time, how could Zhang Su compete with Zhang Song?
Was he going to be trampled under Zhang Song's feet for the rest of his life? Zhang Su could not accept this.
Unknowingly, Zhang Su put the letter into his bosom.
"Men!" Zhang Su called for his men.
"Master!"
"Get the carriage ready immediately. We're leaving!" Zhang Su said and walked out of the study.
"Master? Don't you wait for the head of the Zhang family? "The man beside him asked.
"Slap!" What he got in response was a resounding slap.
The head of the Zhang family! Zhang Su was the head of the Zhang family. "Get out. I told you to get the carriage ready. Slave, if you dare to speak again. You'll be beaten to death here! "
"Yes, yes, yes!" The servant trembled and nodded.
The carriage was soon ready. Zhang Su walked out of the door. He got on the carriage and left.
"Hmm?" As soon as Zhang Su left, the chief steward of Zhang Song's mansion came back. This man was Zhang Song's old man and also Zhang Song's confidant.
He had always been Zhang Song's assistant in the proud mansion. Even Zhang Song did not hide some things from him.
Today, the second steward said that there was a mistake in one of the Zhang family's rice and flour shop. The servants did not dare to deal with it, so the chief steward was sent to deal with it.
As soon as he came back, he saw a carriage leaving the mansion.
"Master is back?" The chief steward asked the guards on the other side. The chief steward knew that Fa Zheng had left a letter for their master, asking him to attend the banquet. How could he be back so soon?
"We didn't see the master come back!" The two guards said.
"What about the carriage just now?" The chief steward asked again. The carriage just now was very luxurious. Only high-ranking officials and nobles could ride it. It obviously left the mansion. If it was not to meet guests, how could it leave so soon?
"That's Master Zhang Su's carriage!" The two guards said.
"Eldest Young Master?" The chief steward was very old. At that time, Zhang Su was still the eldest young master and Zhang Song was the second young master.
"Why did he come?" The chief steward was puzzled. The eldest young master and the second young master had not been in contact with each other for many years.
"Didn't the master ask Master Zhang Su to come here to discuss something important?" The two guards were puzzled.
"Nonsense!" The chief steward reprimanded. "The master went to Fa Zheng's mansion to attend the banquet. How could he meet guests and discuss something important?"
"Ah ah ah! But the second steward said so! "The two guards told the chief steward what the second steward said.
"Ask the second steward to come and see me!" How could the chief steward let the second steward see him? He had already run away.
Suddenly, the chief steward had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Quick, go to Fa Zheng's mansion to inform the master!" The chief steward said hurriedly.
However, when the men he sent arrived at Fa Zheng's mansion, they were told that their master, Zhang Song, had gone to the Governor's mansion with Fa Zheng to discuss something important.
It turned out that Zhang Su's carriage did not go back to his mansion. If it went back, his son, Zhang Biao, would not let Zhang Su do so.
Where did Zhang Su go? Zhang Su went to the Governor's mansion.
The letter naturally fell on Liu Zhang's desk.
"Men, tie Zhang Song up with me!" No matter how muddle-headed Liu Zhang was, he knew that someone had betrayed him.
That was the reason why Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were summoned to the Prefecture Overseer's mansion.
As soon as Zhang Song and Fa Zheng entered the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion, Zhang Song was immediately subdued. The two Yi Province soldiers on the side had Zhang Song under their control.
"How dare you! What do you want?" Zhang Song roared.
"This is Lord Zhang Song. How dare the two of you! Fa Zheng also helped Zhang Song by the side.
"We are following the orders of the Governor to take Zhang Song's Master Zhang!" The two Yi Province soldiers on the side said.
"The orders of the Governor?" Fa Zheng was shocked on the surface, but he was calm in his heart. Everything was going according to his plan.
"I want to see the Lord. I want to see the Governor. Why did you tie me up?" Zhang Song shouted.
The two guards immediately knocked on the door. Previously, Zhang Song was still a Master Zhang. However, with the letter, whether Zhang Song could be a Master Zhang or not was another matter.
Therefore, the two Yi Province soldiers did not need to be polite to Zhang Song.
Soon, the two of them brought Zhang Song into the meeting hall.
"Zhang Song, do you know your crime?" Liu Zhang stood on the main seat and looked at Zhang Song with eyes full of anger.
In the letter, Liu Zhang's punishment was written. It said that if Liu Zhang was sensible, he would be left idle and be raised like a pig or a dog. If Liu Zhang was not sensible, he would be killed like a pig or a dog!
It was already benevolent of Liu Zhang to not kill Zhang Song directly.
"My Lord, this humble subject has committed no crime!" Zhang Song shouted from the other side.
"Hmph, you still dare to quibble at this point!" A person on the side stepped forward and said to Zhang Song.
"Big brother?" Only then did Zhang Song see that the person from Nu Heng over there was his elder brother, Zhang Su.
Looking at Zhang Su, Zhang Song seemed to understand something. "Elder Brother, did you plot against me?" The relationship between Zhang Song and Zhang Su was not good.
Thinking about it, the two brothers were good at jealousy. One was arrogant and unruly, the other was ambitious. Naturally, the two of them would have sparks. However, Zhang Su was not strong enough and was not as strong as Zhang Song. He was always suppressed by Zhang Song as a supporting role. Naturally, he was full of resentment.
"I plotted against you? Haha, it's a joke. I am ashamed to have a brother like you!" Zhang Su's mind was seen through by Zhang Song. He was angry. "Look at it yourself. Is this what you wrote?"
While speaking, Zhang Su handed the letter over to Zhang Song.
Zhang Song was tied up. Naturally, someone handed the letter to him and opened it for him to read.
After reading it, Zhang Song was dumbfounded. It started with, "My Lord, to Emperor Liu's Left General!" "After that, there was a lot of content, and the last one was written by Zhang Songjing.
Zhang Song and Pang Shiyuan's opinions were indeed written in the letter. But, but this letter was not written by him.
How could he write such a thing and leave it to others?
Even if he wanted to contact them, he would send a spy and contact them privately.
But the handwriting on the letter was his.
Someone had framed him. Zhang Song's mind immediately had such an idea.
"My elder brother?" Zhang Song looked at Zhang Su.
"Now let's see how you explain!" Zhang Su said proudly.
"Hahahahaha!" Zhang Song suddenly laughed.
