Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 496 Zhang Sui: Xun Chen, even if you die, the world remains the same!

Zhang Sui looked at Gao Rou crying and asked, "What's wrong? What's going on?"

"I'm serious. I didn't know you were imprisoned here."

"After all, you are Mi'er's second cousin."

"Besides, you haven't offended me before."

"Although I am more belligerent, you have to believe that I am not bloodthirsty."

Gao Rou then rubbed her face with both hands a few times to dry her tears, looked at Zhang Sui, forced a smile and said, "How dare I blame my lord?"

"I just feel that now that this has happened, my lord still dares to appoint me as the acting governor of Bingzhou."

Lu Wen also looked at Zhang Sui with some surprise.

Could it be that he is here to pick someone up to act as the governor of Bingzhou?

This is a high-ranking official.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the governor of Bingzhou in the future.

My father worked hard all his life to reach that position.

Zhang Sui patted Gao Rou on the shoulder and said, "I can only say that there are some things that I can't do."

"Otherwise, I will die."

"Don't tell me I'm afraid of death myself."

"Those are my women and children. For them, I will never give in."

"Why do men live? If you can't even protect your wife and children, then you're not a man!"

"As for you and me, there is no hatred or grudge."

"Besides, second cousin, you are quite talented."

"Do it well."

"At least, don't force me to take people to Bingzhou to retrieve your seal of governor of Bingzhou."

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, Gao Rou bowed and said, "My lord trusts me so much. If I don't do my best, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Zhang Sui nodded and sent Gao Rou back to his residence.

Passing by Xun Chen's residence, Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment, but still walked over with Lu Wen.

The people in Xun Chen's mansion were all frightened when they saw Zhang Sui coming.

The maids and soldiers all turned pale.

Zhang Sui ignored them and walked straight in, asking, "Where is Xun Gong?"

A young woman came forward, lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice: "My father is in the room and has not come out."

Zhang then asked the young woman to lead the way.

The two went straight to Xun Chen's room.

The young woman stopped at the door of the room and said, "This is Daddy's room."

Zhang Sui knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Xun, I am Zhang Sui. I am coming in?"

There was no response from inside.

Zhang Sui and the young woman looked at each other.

The next moment, Zhang Sui kicked the door open.

Inside, Xun Chen was seen kneeling on a cushion with a mourning robe on his head.

On the table in front of him, there was a tablet.

The words "The spirit tablet of the late Lord Yuan Shao Benchu" were clearly written on the tablet.

There is an incense burner in front of the tablet.

Sandalwood is burning in the incense burner.

Next to the incense burner, there was a drawn sword.

The sword was shiny and the blade was flashing with a cold light.

The young woman looked at Xun Chen who was motionless, lowered her head, walked out and closed the door.

Zhang Sui looked at Xun Chen and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

He just walked forward, stood beside Xun Chen, took out three incense sticks from the table, lit them, bowed towards the tablet, inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner in front of the tablet, and then squatted in front of Xun Chen and said: "Although it is not appropriate for me to say this."

"After all, I'm not really a good person."

"As for my father-in-law's death, those who understand will understand."

"I don't deny it either."

"But I still want to say that the dead cannot be resurrected."

"If you want to die, then follow him. From your personal standpoint, there is no problem."

"But have you ever thought about your ancestors?"

"Have you ever thought about your wife and children?"

"You and I have no relationship at all, honestly."

"I can't help you take care of your wife and children."

"To be frank, as a former minister who has no use to me, I am already merciful by not killing your family."

Xun Chen still remained silent.

Zhang Sui sighed and said, "And, to be honest, I'm not being conceited, I feel that I am much clearer-headed than my father-in-law."

"Just because his father-in-law asked Gao Gan and his three sons to divide the four states, he has brought this upon himself."

"You should know better than anyone else."

"Also, the balance issue is disgusting." "I know the dead are the greatest, but it's really not nice to say this now."

"I just want to tell you, at least, give me a chance, right?"

"You should be aware of what I did in Zhongshan County."

Xun Chen still didn't respond.

Zhang Sui stared at Xun Chen's profile and was silent for a while before saying, "Xin Pi recommends you to act as governor of Youzhou. If you have thought it through, you should attend the morning meeting tomorrow and do your best."

"I can't figure it out. I want to die. I won't try to persuade you anymore."

"Everyone has his own ambition."

"It's just that in the lands under my rule, I have always employed people based on their talents."

"If you think that after you die, your wife and children can live well with their own abilities, then go ahead and die."

"After all, the world is in chaos right now, with starving people everywhere and countless people dead."

"The death of your wife and children is not a big deal."

"In this world, no matter who dies, life will continue as usual."

"The Emperor Qin was like this, and so was Emperor Wu of Han."

"How do you, Xun Chen, compare to these two?"

"They all died like that, not to mention you and your family."

Zhang Sui stood up and left.

It was not until Zhang Sui opened the door, went out, closed the door, and walked away that Xun Chen put his hands on his face and burst into tears.

Zhang Sui had only taken a few steps when he heard Xun Chen's sharp cries.

Zhang Sui scratched his face.

I feel like what I just said was a bit harsh?
To be honest, Xun Chen is quite talented and loyal.

The only shortcoming is that he likes to go against Ju Shou and Tian Feng.

But then again, Zhang Sui always thought that it was not the fault of these people from the Yingchuan School.

The biggest mistake was Yuan Shao himself. He couldn't make up his mind and always wanted to strike a balance.

The world isn't even settled yet, yet you're just messing around.

In troubled times, only the talented can be promoted.

After taking over the world, why not continue to stir up trouble?

I hope Xun Chen can figure it out!

If he really can't figure it out, he'll just die.

Zhang Sui really didn't believe that he would not be able to accomplish anything without Xun Chen.

Zhang Sui continued to leave.

He took Lv Wen to another place——

Ju Su's residence.

When they arrived at Ju Shou's house, Ju Shou was still lying in bed.

Ju Su's son took Zhang Sui to Ju Su's room.

Zhang Sui looked at Ju Shou lying on the bed with his face covered by a quilt, and said with a smile: "Ju Gong, we Hebei people have our own world. Why don't you support me?"

"Or do you think that I am not as good as my father-in-law?"

Ju Shou then lifted the quilt covering his face, looked at Zhang Sui with a gloomy expression, and let out a long sigh.

Zhang Sui sat down on the edge of his bed and said with a smile, "Hurry up, Lord Ju, you still have things to do."

"As for Qingzhou, you take care of it and become the acting governor. Help me deal with the situation there."

"There was a huge battle last night, and the news of my father-in-law's murder must have spread quickly. There will definitely be civil unrest everywhere."

"Although I am planning to send people to quell the rebellion, you still have to help me in Qingzhou."

Ju Shou looked at Zhang Sui for a long time, still without saying anything, but just sighed again and nodded.

Zhang Sui added: "The master is in Xiapi, Xuzhou. You two old men can get together whenever you want."

"Although I dare not say how powerful I am, but facing me, you two are both elders and wise men. You can scold me and beat me, but I have thick skin and thick flesh, and I will not turn hostile."

"It's just that I'm a bit lustful and like women."

"Just don't bring this up."

"Besides, with my status, shouldn't I have more women and more children to pass on to my descendants?"

Ju Shou then chuckled and said, "Who cares about you? If you are not interested in women, Yuan Hao and I will be anxious."

Zhang Sui smiled complacently and said, "That's fine."

"If I did anything wrong, just tell me."

"I'm a little tired today, I have to go back to sleep."

"Don't lie down, old man. There are still a lot of things I don't understand. I have to rely on you."

"At least try to finish your work before you leave for Qingzhou."

"As long as you can hold on, you'll work yourself to death. I won't show you mercy."

"I am tired, and you are tired too."

"After all, I will be the lord in the future, so it's better for me to tire you out."

Ju Su's son was standing not far away. Hearing what Zhang Sui said, he laughed and said, "Dad must be very happy."

Ju Shou looked at Zhang Sui helplessly, sighed, and then slowly got up.
