Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 448 The second lady Zhen Mi was arrested!

When Zhang Sui got up from the bed, he saw Lu Wen wearing a handkerchief around her neck.

Even so, one can still see faint traces under the handkerchief.

Zhang Sui's mouth corners slightly raised.

masterpiece!

Seeing that Zhang Sui was staring at her, Lu Wen was extremely speechless.

She really wanted to flick him there a few times now!

You really don't consider your own difficulties at all!
Seeing Lü Wen's murderous look, Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment, then found a set of women's clothes, a veil, and a scarf and asked Lü Wen to change into them.

Things have come to this point, so there is naturally no need for Lu Wen to continue dressing up as his personal guard.

Lu Wen looked at the clothes in her hands without much hesitation.

Zhao Tong and his people all knew what happened last night.

There really isn't much point in pretending any longer.

Zhang Sui watched Lü Wen change her clothes, and then had breakfast with Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the eldest son Yuan Tan. Then the army continued its march towards Yecheng.

When he arrived in Yecheng, Zhang Sui saw an acquaintance again——

The military supervisor was Ju Su.

After just seven or eight months of not seeing each other, most of Ju Su's hair had turned gray.

When Ju Shou saw Zhang Sui again, his expression was quite complicated.

This man had a more solemn and murderous aura than before.

and--

Ju Su quickly glanced behind Zhang Sui.

The person he was expecting did not come back.

Ju Su felt heavy in his heart.

The last time they parted, it was indeed the last time they saw each other.

Zhang Sui also guessed who Ju Shou was looking for.

Walking up to Ju Su, Zhang Sui said, "Xuzhou has just been pacified, and there is a lot of work to be done. The noble families are not interested, so I have no choice but to come back. My deputy driver has to stay behind to prevent any accidents."

Ju Shou nodded silently and met with the eldest son Yuan Tan, Yan Liang and Wen Chou in turn.

After arranging Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the army to the fixed garrison, Ju Shou looked at Zhang Sui, stretched out his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord, I want to take back your tiger talisman. We will make arrangements later."

Zhang Sui did not hand over the tiger talisman. Instead, he smiled and looked at the 1,000 men lazily walking behind him and Gao Shun and said, "The only troops I brought back this time are these 1,000 men."

"There are one thousand men, and my father-in-law wants to ask me to give back the military power?"

"Then what about my 1,000 cavalrymen who are now left in Xuzhou to contain Sun Ce?"

"Although I am now the governor of Xuzhou, this is probably the first governor in the history of the Han Dynasty to be forced to be summoned to a place far away from his jurisdiction to take orders."

"Mr. Ju, I won't embarrass you. I will explain it to my father-in-law when I see him later."

Ju Su then nodded and signaled Zhang Sui to arrange a thousand men himself.

Zhang Sui asked Gao Shun to take a thousand men with Yan Liang, and instructed Yan Liang to arrange these thousand men in the original camp of the cavalry army.

After doing all this, Zhang Sui took Lü Wen, the personal guards of the powerful people in Changshan County, Guo Jia and others, and followed Ju Su and the eldest son Yuan Tan into the city.

Returning to Yecheng again, although this time it was only seven or eight months, or even less than a year, Zhang Sui still felt an indescribable feeling.

It seems very strange.

Passing by Zhen's shop, Zhang Suicai perked up a little.

Just as Zhang Sui was introducing the Zhen family shop to Zhao Tong and others, a figure rushed out.

It was the shopkeeper.

Zhang Sui quickly signaled Ju Su and others to wait.

The shopkeeper rushed to Zhang Sui, knelt down, and said excitedly: "Master, something happened! The second young lady was taken away by the government! It's been half a month, and she hasn't come back yet!"

Zhang Sui's face instantly fell and he looked at Ju Shou.

Ju Su hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was the Lord who invited me over."

"I live in the courtyard of the Third Miss."

"The second young lady of the Zhen family is doing fine and getting along well with Liu."

"My lord, you have heard of the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan Prefecture a long time ago." "This time, I invited the second young lady of the Zhen family to come over just to have a chat with her."

"When you come back, the lord will let her come back."

Zhang Sui suddenly clenched his fists.

Chat?

Isn't this something to chat about?

This is a hostage!

My cheap father-in-law, is he trying to threaten me?
As long as I don’t come back, the second lady won’t be able to come back either?
Zhang Sui laughed and said to Ju Shou, "Interesting."

"My father-in-law is really becoming more and more sophisticated."

"To treat a meritorious official with such a sophisticated method."

Ju Su's face turned pale and he stammered a few times but said nothing.

Zhang Sui looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Don't worry about the Second Miss here. Take care of your own business. The Second Miss will be back soon."

The shopkeeper then got up and looked at Zhang Sui with some concern as he left with Ju Shou and others.

Ju Su led the way from the side, observing Zhang Sui out of the corner of his eye from time to time.

Seeing the sneer on Zhang Sui's face disappear in an instant and now return to normal, but looking very gloomy, Ju Su felt indescribable feeling in his heart.

The situation is like fire and water, this is.

It's no longer possible to reconcile.

The lord is no longer the lord he used to be.

Just let’s see how he performs this time!
The group went straight to the government office.

Ju Shou arranged for Lu Wen and his personal guards to bring Zhang Sui and the eldest son Yuan Tan in.

Inside the government hall, Yuan Shao was sitting in the first seat, chatting and laughing with Xun Chen, Jiang Qi and others.

However, Yuan Shao’s face was obviously pale and sickly.

After saying a few words, he coughed a few times.

When everyone saw Ju Shou, Zhang Sui and Yuan Tan come in, the voices suddenly stopped.

The smile on Yuan Shao's face disappeared instantly.

Looking at Zhang Sui and Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's face darkened and he stared at the two of them with his eyes.

Ju Su bowed and stepped aside, leaving only Zhang Sui and Yuan Tan standing in the middle of the hall.

Yuan Tan knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, and sobbed, "Father, I am guilty. Please punish me!"

Yuan Shao's originally gloomy face looked much better when he saw Yuan Tan like this.

After coughing a few times, Yuan Shao asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Yuan Tan said in a trembling voice: "I know."

"First, I shouldn't have killed the two military advisors, Guo Tu and Xu You, without authorization."

"Second, I shouldn't have underestimated the enemy, which resulted in the loss of nearly 50,000 troops."

"Third, I shouldn't have expelled Xin Pi and even the envoy after receiving my father's order to withdraw to Yecheng and let Xin Pi take over as the governor of Qingzhou after the defeat, which led to my father letting General Wen Chou personally lead the army to capture me."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, what are your plans for the future?"

Yuan Tan raised his head and said seriously, "I will stay in the mansion, reflect on myself every day, study hard, and will not go out until I get my father's approval."

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you said so yourself, I will not embarrass you."

"Go down!"

"When you have learned enough from studying, come back and find me, your father."

Yuan Tan thanked him and quickly crawled out.

Yuan Shao watched Yuan Tan disappear outside the threshold and his eyes fell on Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui and Yuan Shao looked at each other.

Zhang Sui simply bowed and said, "Father-in-law."

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "Bocheng, what do you want to say?"
