Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 224 Goodbye Madam
County Captain Wang Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered: "General, I never dared to think so!"

"The general was so majestic in the county government office that day. I thought he was a god. How could he dare to deceive you?"

"Although the Wang family is indeed my main family."

"But the Wang family's patriarch is too shortsighted."

"I have advised him before not to get involved with the Zhen family."

"Although the Zhen family has declined, it is still a truly prestigious family."

"Is it so easy for the Zhen family to be destroyed?"

"If it was so easy to destroy, Jizhou Mu would have taken action himself long ago. Why wait for them to come?"

"But he didn't listen."

"I was wondering how to stop it!"

"But I didn't expect that you would come back, General."

"That's easy now."

Zhang Sui looked at the county commander Wang Hao.

County Commandant Wang Hao hurriedly said, "It is absolutely true."

"If there is even a single word of falsehood in what I said, my whole family will die miserably!"

Zhang Sui sighed secretly.

This is really shit luck.

I didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as I came back.

This is a great thing!

There are too many aristocratic families of all kinds in Wuji County.

Especially the Liu family.

The previous head of the Liu family was Yuan Shao's former colleague.

He retired and returned home because of his old age.

When Qu Yi came to Wuji County, the old man relied on the fact that he was Yuan Shao's former associate and wanted to curry favor with Qu Yi in order to take the opportunity to bring down the Zhen family, but was killed by Zhao Yun with a spear.

However, the dead old man's son was still serving as Gongcao in Yecheng.

This is probably why the Liu family is so arrogant.

He had discussed with Zhao Yun before that he would use Wuji County and Zhending County as the base, use the Black Mountain Army to build a city defense army, and cultivate his own power.

However, he had not yet thought of an excuse to drive away the other aristocratic families in Wuji County.

If you want to build a foundation, then naturally, you need to be of one mind.

The other aristocratic families obviously do not share the same views as the Zhen family.

But I didn't expect that when I wanted to take a nap, someone would deliver it to me.

In this case, I can only refuse it with disrespect.

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "I believe in the captain."

"For this matter, you should do as they say first."

County Captain Wang Hao hurriedly said, "Yes, sir!"

Zhang Sui looked at the county lieutenant Wang Hao and said, "I have always thought that the lieutenant is a reasonable person."

"I have done a very good job in Wuji County over the years."

“There will be a future.”

County Commandant Wang Hao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General, for your advice!"

Not long after the two entered the city, Zhang Sui said, "Captain, go get busy!"

"If anyone asks me, just say you are from Jizhou Mu and will be back tomorrow."

County Commandant Wang Hao then clasped his fists towards Zhang Sui and rode away on his horse.

Zhen Hao hurriedly rode forward and asked Zhang Sui, "Bocheng, what did the captain say to you?"

Zhang Sui glanced at Zhen Hao and said, "Those people from the Liu family have been trying to take action these days. They want to destroy the Zhen family and divide up the assets."

Zhen Hao's face darkened and he said, "These people are shameless!"

"Poor Zhen family, there is no capable male owner."

"Otherwise, why would they let us bully you like this?"

Zhang Sui said: "Aren't we back now?"

Zhen Hao asked, "Then what should we do? These noble families have a lot of followers. Adding them together, I'm afraid there are about four to five thousand people."

Zhang Sui laughed and said, "No one has ever seen blood."

"There are thirty-five of us, and we are still in the city. What are we afraid of?"

When Zhen Hao heard what Zhang Sui said, he suddenly came to his senses and burst into laughter.

That's right. We are no longer the same as we were before.

Now we have war horses and weapons.

Facing these troops again, what are you afraid of?
Zhang Sui and his party arrived at the gate of the Zhen family mansion.

The people of the Zhen family had already received the news that a group of people were riding war horses towards this side.

The lady, her housekeeper, and a group of soldiers were waiting at the city gate.

The lady looked at the street ahead with her brows slightly furrowed.

During this period of time, the Liu family, the Wang family and others have been making small moves.

The Zhen family's spies also brought information that the Liu family, the Wang family and others might take action against the Zhen family.

She could only recruit soldiers, conduct emergency training, and strengthen patrols near the Zhen family.

However, the Zhen family had no time to take care of their various properties.

The Zhen family is now in decline.

There simply isn't enough power to protect all the industries.

Ten days ago, she sent an urgent letter to her second son Zhen Yan, who was the Quliang magistrate in Quliang, hoping that he would find a way to recruit some people from Quliang to help.

Now the second son Zhen Yan has replied: he has resigned from the post of Quliang Ling and has come here in person with a hundred guards.

The lady was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

She originally wanted her second son to dispatch an expert from Quliang, and her second son Zhen Yan would continue to stay in Quliang, which would also have some deterrent effect.

However, he did not expect that he misunderstood his meaning and actually resigned from the position of Quliang Ling and came back with his guards to share life and death with him!
What’s the point of the second son coming back?

He can't control anyone!

What's the use of a hundred guards?

If all other big families in Wuji County unite, they will have several thousand followers, several times more than the Zhen family!

Why do I want them to share life and death?
He lost his life in vain, making his loved ones sad and his enemies happy!

The lady had already written a letter and was ready to have it sent to Changshan, asking her old father to come forward again: Please ask Zhao Yun from Zhending County to bring people to help.

Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other solution for the time being.

The only thing that made her feel fortunate now was that her second daughter Zhen Mi was far away in Yecheng, and her other children were all in Quliang.

Even if something happened to her and the Zhen family, they would be able to escape.

Moreover, no matter how vicious the Liu and Wang families are, it is difficult for them to extend their hands and feet to Quliang, let alone Yecheng.

But I didn’t expect that someone would come now!

I just don't know if he's here to cause trouble or for some other purpose.

The lady shook her head.

She thought of Zhang Sui.

If something goes wrong this time, the two will be separated by death.

I wonder what will happen if he knows something happened to him?
The lady laughed at herself.

I guess, that’s about it!

In this chaotic world, women are worthless.

Even I am the same.

The butler saw his wife shaking her head and laughing at herself, and his face was filled with sympathy.

The people of Chu are innocent, but they are guilty of possessing the jade.

The Zhen family is so big, but it is supported by a woman. It is inevitable that it will come to this point sooner or later.

It just makes things difficult for Madam.

She is so young, but she has been a widow for nearly ten years.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly moved.

Someone said, “Here they come!”

The lady's heart also rose slightly, and she looked nervously towards the end of the street.

Everyone held their breath and looked over.

Sure enough, a general in iron armor was seen riding a war horse, looking at both sides of the street while riding towards them.

Behind him, around the corner, strong men riding war horses, carrying weapons, came over, talking and laughing.

The lady looked at the leading general approaching, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

She felt a little dazed.

It's him?

The lady gently touched the sleeve of the butler beside her, and said in a trembling voice: "Butler, am I, am I dazzled? Why do I see Cheng Bocheng and the others?"
