Zhang Song laughed inexplicably, causing everyone around him to be in a daze.
Zhang Song was about to die, but he still laughed so wildly? Wasn't he a fool?
At this time, he should be thinking of begging for mercy from the Prefecture Overseer. Perhaps the Prefecture Overseer would be soft-hearted and spare his life.
However, Zhang Song didn't have such thoughts. Instead, he laughed arrogantly.
"Zhang Song, what are you laughing at!" Zhang Su couldn't help but say to Zhang Song, "You're about to die, and you're still laughing!"
"What's wrong? Can't I laugh? "Zhang Song looked at Zhang Su with a smile.
Being stared at by his younger brother, Zhang Su's heart trembled.
"Don't you want to know why I'm laughing? Then I'll tell you! I'm laughing at you, I'm laughing at all of you! "Zhang Song laughed at the crowd of civil and military officials around Yi Province.
"What's so funny about me?" Zhang Su asked subconsciously.
"Good question!"
"I'm laughing at big brother. You think you're smart!" Zhang Song stood up, "Let me go!"
Two of Liu Zhang's personal guards wanted to continue pressing Zhang Song down, but under the signal of Liu Zhang, they let go.
"I'm laughing at all of you for being kept in the dark by my big brother!" Zhang Song loosened his hands.
That's right, Zhang Song was determined to bite the bullet and not admit it. If he admitted that he had an affair with Liu Bei, then Zhang Song would be left with a dead end.
"Big brother, I want to ask, where did you get this letter?" Zhang Song pretended to be relaxed and asked Zhang Su beside him.
"Is there a need to ask? Naturally, it's in your mansion, from your study room!" Zhang Su sneered at Zhang Song.
"Haha, what a joke!" Zhang Song laughed again, "My lord, everyone, you should know that Zhang Su and I, although we're brothers, are actually enemies!"
"Enemy?" Everyone was stunned. What was going on?
"My eldest brother, Zhang Su, was originally the eldest son of the Zhang family. When my father was still alive, he was the successor of the Zhang family. Unfortunately, although my eldest brother was ambitious, his ability was mediocre. My father didn't hand over the Zhang family to him, but gave me, the son of a concubine!" Zhang Song continued.
"Since then, my eldest brother has always harbored hatred in his heart. Ten years ago, he immediately left the Zhang family and formed his own branch! As for me, the head of the Zhang family, I naturally became a thorn in my eldest brother's side. He always wanted to get rid of me! I respected him as an elder, so I didn't do anything. But today, I didn't expect him to be this crazy! In order to harm me, she didn't hesitate to drag the entire Zhang family down with her! To actually forge such a letter! “
Zhang Song said as he looked at Zhang Su in grief. His expression was one of exasperation at Ye Xiwen's failure to meet his expectations.
Everyone also exclaimed. They knew that the two brothers of the Zhang family had always been on bad terms, but they didn't expect it to have reached this point.
They couldn't help but nod. What's more, they looked at Zhang Su with a little contempt.
After all, the enmity between brothers was after all a family feud. But now, it had become so crazy.
"No, no! I'm not! "Zhang Su shook his head fiercely. He admitted that he hated Zhang Song, but not this time.
"Not?" Zhang Song sneered and said, "Eldest brother, haven't you always wanted the position of the head of the Zhang family? Aren't you doing this to frame me and drag me down with you? Do you dare to say no? " Zhang Song did not budge an inch and started to be overbearing.
"I!" Zhang Su really wanted the position of the head of the family. He also wanted to drag Zhang Song down with him, but this letter wasn't forged by him at all.
He wouldn't dare to do it even if he had ten times the courage.
"I found this in your study!" “
'Haha, study? What a joke! Eldest brother, you and I haven't been in contact for many years. Why would you go to my mansion? "Zhang Song asked with a sneer.
"It's you. You sent someone to send me an invitation and asked me to go to the banquet, saying that you have something important to discuss. By the way, I still have your invitation card, name thorn, I have it! "Zhang Su actually took out an invitation card and handed it over.
"My Lords, please take a look! This is the invitation that Zhang Song gave me! " Zhang Su handed over the invitation card.
Everyone couldn't help but nod. This was indeed Zhang Song's name tattoo.
"Zhang Song, do you still have words to say?" Liu Zhang asked again.
Zhang Song also saw it himself. This name tattoo was exactly the same as the real one.
Zhang Song didn't know that this was originally real. It was stolen by the second butler in his mansion and given to Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng processed it.
Zhang Song frowned. He didn't understand where this name tattoo came from, but Zhang Song was Zhang Song. He still had a way to deal with it.
"What a joke! Eldest brother, you really went through a lot of hardships. You even have the name tattoo that I sent out in the past! "
"This is obviously a recent one. The ink on it hasn't completely faded yet!"
"So what if this name tattoo is real?" Zhang Song asked with a smile.
"That means that you and Liu Bei are colluding!" Zhang Su shouted.
"Colluding? When I, Zhang Song, invited a guest to a banquet, would I bring the guest to the study? Would I let the guest get this letter in the study? What a joke! "Zhang Song immediately began to fight back.
The study was generally a private place. Basically, no guests would be received. It was only open to one's own people. Why would a banquet be in the study?
This was a big flaw.
"This was sent by the second butler in your mansion on my behalf! He said that he would wait for you for a while! "
"The second butler in my mansion? Hehe, you go and take a look! See if it is true! "Zhang Song narrowed his eyes and said.
"Let's do it!" Soon, someone went to Zhang Song's mansion, but soon came back.
It was said that Zhang Song's second butler had returned to his hometown for more than half a month.
All of this was naturally done by Zhang Song's head butler.
"More than half a month?!" Now, the "truth" was about to be revealed. You said that Zhang Song's second butler in his mansion brought you there. He had been home for more than half a month and had not returned. How could he bring you there?
"Impossible! It's impossible! It is obviously him! " Zhang Su also didn't dare to imagine. "The handwriting of that letter, yes, that handwriting is yours, it can't be wrong." Zhang Su grasped this point, Zhang Song's handwriting was very good, it had the style of a great master.
So, his notes had a special feature. Everyone had read the letter. The reason why they thought that Zhang Song did it from the beginning was mostly because of the handwriting.
"What do you say now?"
"My lord, if I may be so bold, I would like to ask for ink and paper from my lord!" Zhang Song said to Liu Zhang over there.
"Allowed!" Liu Zhang nodded. He also did not want to believe that Zhang Song had betrayed him. After all, if it were not for Zhang Song that day, he, Liu Zhang, would have been killed as a puppet.
Soon, ink, paper, and inkstone were brought.
Zhang Song picked up the brush and wrote on the paper in one go.
"Big brother, is your letter the same as this one?" Zhang Song took out a letter and asked Zhang Su who was on the other side.
Zhang Song had the ability to remember things with a single glance. When Zhang Song went to Yanzhou, Cao Cao showed off in front of Zhang Song. He took out the new book of Meng De that he had compiled and showed it to Zhang Song. He wanted to teach this country bumpkin a lesson. But he did not expect that Zhang Song would have a photographic memory after reading it once. Instead, he mocked Cao Cao.
He said that Cao Cao's new book of Meng De was a copy of the work of an anonymous predecessor. Zhang Song had already seen this work, so it was not strange.
In the end, Zhang Song recited the new book one by one. This made Boss Cao so angry that he burned his military book.
From this, one could see Zhang Song's encyclopedic knowledge.
Now it was the same on the other side. The betrayal letter that was written in Zhang Song's handwriting was also revealed in Zhang Song's hands.
The two letters were exactly the same.
"This is it! Hmph, Zhang Song, you said that you had no intention of betrayal. You can actually write it so smoothly! This is your note! " Zhang Su said with a sneer.
"Then this letter represents that big brother, you have also betrayed the lord and surrendered to Liu Bei!" Zhang Song on the side took out another letter and handed it to Zhang Su over there.
The format of the second letter was similar to that of the first letter, except that Zhang Song had been replaced by Zhang Su.
And this was an imitation of Zhang Su's notes. It was exactly the same, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
"You, you, you!" Zhang Su pointed at Zhang Song over there and was speechless.
"Me? Zhang Su, tell me, what is your motive for framing me again and again? "Zhang Song changed his face and roared loudly at Zhang Su.
"My lord, please investigate clearly!" Zha Su knelt down in front of Liu Zhang over there.
Liu Zhang also snorted coldly. He also believed that Zhang Su wanted to frame Zhang Song.
"Come on, drag Zhang Su away!" Liu Zhang ordered in disgust.
"Yes!"
"My lord, please spare my life. Please spare my life!"
"Haha!" Zhang Song's heart was finally relieved. He looked at his big brother without any sympathy and couldn't help but sneer. If he hadn't been quick-witted today, he might have died today.
Just when Zhang Song thought that he could sit back and relax, the most crucial knife came.
"Wait!" Fa Zheng over there stood up and blocked the Yizhou Army's guards who were about to drag Zhang Su away.
"My lord, General Zhang Su did not frame Zhang Song!" Fa Zheng said to Liu Zhang on the stage, "It is true!"
"What!"
Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng. Could it be that Fa Zheng also betrayed him?
"Lord Zhang Song, if the handwriting can help others write, but the fingerprint seal can't be copied!" Fa Zheng said as he took out a letter from his chest.
Zhang Song's eyes almost burst.
That letter?! Zhang Song subconsciously wanted to snatch the letter but was stopped by Fa Zheng.
"My lord, I have a letter here. Please take a look!" He said as he let the people beside him hand it over.
The letter was not something else. It was a letter of recommendation from Zhang Song to Fa Zheng. The words and actions were mostly praise for Fa Zheng and also loyalty to Liu Bei.
The letter that Zhang Su took out might have been made with his handwriting, but the handprint and seal could be found with a single check.
"I was bewitched by Zhang Song. He said that he wanted to recommend Fa Zheng to go to Jingzhou to work under Liu Bei. I pretended to agree, so Zhang Song wrote this letter of recommendation. My lord, please take a look!" Fa Zheng sold out Zhang Song without missing a word.
"Haha! I have already said that Zhang Song had the ambition of a wolf. He had already betrayed Milord and sought refuge with Liu Bei of Jingzhou. Am I right?" Zhang Su was simply at the end of his rope. There was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel.
He shouted loudly. Just a moment ago, Zhang Su was almost beaten out. Although Liu Zhang could not kill him, Zhang Su could not survive in Yizhou's officialdom.
But now, the situation was reversed. Zhang Song was betrayed by Fa Zheng.
"Take down this traitor!" Liu Zhang looked at the letter in his hand and said angrily.
At the side, Zhang Su was like a jumping clown, but Zhang Song pretended not to see it. Instead, Zhang Song was staring at Fa Zheng.
"Why?" Zhang Song asked these three words.
He did not understand that the person who stabbed him in the back was the person he trusted the most.
This was a real betrayal. Zhang Song did not have any feelings for Zhang Su. So when Zhang Su framed him, Zhang Song did not care at all. If it was not for his reputation, he would have killed Zhang Lu.
But Fa Zheng was different. He, Zhang Song, truly loved Fa Zheng.
The feelings between the two were real. That year, Fa Zheng followed the refugees and entered Yizhou with Meng Da.
It was Zhang Song who helped Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng became a small county magistrate and was depressed. It was Zhang Song who helped Fa Zheng and made him a military officer.
Now, Zhang Song was still thinking about Fa Zheng. He thought that after Liu Bei and Liu Xuande took over Jingzhou and Yizhou, he would recommend Fa Zheng to be Liu Bei's right-hand man.
It was because he believed in Fa Zheng that Zhang Song wrote the letter of recommendation in front of Fa Zheng without any scruples. He even stamped his fingerprint and seal on it.
But he did not expect that the one who betrayed him and gave him the final blow was Fa Zheng.
So Zhang Song wanted to ask why. He wanted to die with an explanation.
But Fa Zheng did not answer him.
"Men, drag Zhang Song out and behead him!" Liu Zhang was in a fit of anger and was about to drag Zhang Song out and behead him.
"My lord is wise!" Zhang Su over there knelt down with great joy. Once Zhang Song was dead, Zhang Su would be able to get everything from the Zhang family. Not only that, Zhang Su would also be able to get a reward from Liu Zhang.
In this way, Zhang Su would really have a meteoric rise.
Even if this meteoric rise would be on his brother's corpse.
"Wait!" He was the one who stopped the Yizhou Army's guards from dragging Zhang Su out. Now, he was also the one who stopped the Yizhou Army's guards from dragging Zhang Song out.
"My lord, although Lord Zhang Song has betrayed you, I beg you to spare Lord Zhang Song's life in consideration of his many years of contributions to Yizhou!" With that, Fa Zheng knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Zhang.
