Chapter 188 The little man unwilling to be controlled
"Lord, you can swallow this breath, but I can't. I'm going to beat that kid to vent your anger!"
Dian Wei was about to chase Wang Ze. Zhu Han was shocked when he saw this. He quickly grabbed Dian Wei and scolded him with a smile: "I wonder if you are a fool! I offended him just now, so go and beat him now."
Dun, even if we all go there with our faces covered, people can guess with their toes that we did it! You kid, don’t cause any trouble for me!"
"Then Master, are you really going to let it go?"
Dian Wei was a little angry. He felt that Zhu Han's behavior was a bit weak. Although he would not say such things, Zhu Han still felt Dian Wei's mood swings.
These men were all veterans who had followed him, Zhu Han, on the battlefield. The most unseen people on ordinary days were people like Wang Ze who were always willing to betray their family background. Not to mention the hatred of the soldiers, even he, Zhu Han, hated such people very much.
But it comes back to me again, if someone has a good life and cannot be offended, then he can only hide away.
"Okay, let's go back to the military camp!"
Since coming to Daijun, Zhu Han has stayed in the military camp every night. This way he can build relationships with the soldiers. Secondly, Daijun is not a safe place.
"Alas! I obey my orders!"
Dian Wei sighed, turned around and went down to prepare.
"Wang Jidao, you have made me lose my position in front of my subordinates. This relationship has been established between us. After Zhicai returns, I will take a closer look at how you get involved in Daijun. If you dare to stretch your claws by then,
I dare to chop it into pieces!"
After no one was in the room, Zhu Han murmured in a low voice with a gloomy face.
In the next few days, Daijun was peaceful and calm.
Hou Jie came to Daijun as promised. During this period of time, he was very tired from raising money to borrow cattle and sheep. However, after he got the thousand horses, Hou Jie was really happy and beamed with joy. He hosted banquets in Gaoliu City every day.
During this period, Zhu Han, Wang Ze and Zhao Wen came once, and Hou Jie even called Zhu Han brothers in front of them. The relationship was so good that it gave them goosebumps and made Zhu Han a little embarrassed.
After Hou Jie left Gaoliu, Wang Ze also left in a hurry.
Just as Wang Ze left, Zhao Wen hosted a banquet for Zhu Han.
On this day, in the prefect's mansion.
"I didn't expect you, Brother Zhu Xian, to be brothers with Mr. Hou!"
After Zhao Wen saw Zhu Han, he smiled awkwardly and said, "If you had made it clear at the beginning, I wouldn't have forced you to pay taxes like that!"
"What? If I tell you, can you still give me tax exemption?"
After that banquet, Zhu Han noticed that Zhao Wen's attitude towards him had changed somewhat, but he couldn't tell what kind of change it was. Even Wang Ze looked at him with a strange look. Now he heard Zhao Wen even calling him "Xiandi"
Going up, it can be seen that people are showing their kindness to Zhu Han.
"It's impossible to get tax exemption, but it's possible to let Zhu Xiandi defer payment for some time!"
The embarrassment on Zhao Wen's face flashed away, and then he smiled.
"Delay the delivery for a while. Can you still let me wait until next autumn harvest?"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes and replied angrily: "Prefect Zhao, why did you invite me here today? If it's just a small talk, then please forgive me for not being able to sit for a long time. There are still many things waiting in the military camp.
Let me solve it!"
"Oh, Brother Zhu Xian, are you in such a hurry? At first I thought that Brother Zhu Xian, you are not an ordinary person, but now that I see it, you are indeed an extraordinary person!"
Zhao Wen picked up the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Come, come, let me have a drink for my brother."
Zhu Han was caught off guard by Zhao Wen's change. He didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling, so he could only observe quietly and wait until he understood Zhao Wen's pulse before making any further calculations.
"Is Brother Zhu Xian feeling unwell? You look like you are not in a good mood!"
No matter how Zhao Wen tried to bring the two of them closer, Zhu Han always had an attitude of being indifferent to others, and even his replies were just perfunctory. This made Zhao Wen angry and anxious. Although he was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan,
But his status did not dare to be compared with that of a second-generation ancestor like Wang Ze. He did not dare to offend Zhu Han. No, as soon as Wang Ze left, he tried to repair the relationship with Zhu Han.
"Prefect Zhao, what's the matter with you? You might as well say that as long as I can help, I won't refuse!"
Zhu Han really couldn't stand the atmosphere. After putting down the wine bottle, he asked angrily: "You are really making me panic!"
As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is a traitor or a thief. Not long ago, he had an unpleasant quarrel with Zhao Wen, and now people are trying to please him. If Zhu Han gets promoted or something, then Zhao Wen can behave like this.
I understand, but Zhu Han didn't do anything and yet he was greeted by others, so he had to be careful.
"Look at what you said, dear brother. How old is my elder brother? If you don't dislike me, my dear brother, how about we become brothers from now on? We are all one family, don't let anyone go outside!"
Zhao Wen is really thick-skinned. Zhu Han even showed strong impatience and almost yelled at him on the spot, but Zhao Wen was able to greet him with a smile.
"I don't dare. The young general is just a small military commander. How dare he be worthy of your brother, my lord?"
Zhu Han resisted a little and declined politely.
"Oh, dear brother, are you still feeling resentful and blaming me in your heart?"
Zhao Wen smiled bitterly and said: "When I made things difficult for my virtuous brother with the second young master, I had no choice but to do so!"
"You are an officer and I am a soldier. We are not subordinate to each other. No one is making things difficult for the other. You are serious, Governor Zhao!"
Zhu Han finally heard some clues, but Zhao Wen's duplicitous behavior made him quite disdainful, and it was difficult for him to let go of his grudge and make a deep friendship with such a person.
"Actually, my brother and I are from a bad background just like you, but my luck is better. I became a disciple of the Wang family and climbed into the lap of the Wang family. Only then did I reach the sky in one step and start working in this county.
The governor!"
Zhao Wen's face was full of bitterness, and he explained melancholy: "In the eyes of others, your brother and I are a high-ranking prefect. In fact, this is not the case. Your brother and I are just occupying this position for the Wang family! From the beginning, this generation of county prefect
The position belongs to the second young master."
"What? Please forgive my ignorance, little brother, but I think this official position is occupied by someone else!"
Zhu Han was almost amused by Zhao Wen's words. If you said you collect rent for others, join the army, etc., he would still believe it. But this is the first time he has heard of someone occupying an official position for others. Could it be?
When Wang Ze wants to be the governor of this county, can he, Zhao Wen, really let him go? Even if Zhao Wen does let him go, it depends on whether the imperial court agrees, so this is simply ridiculous.
"Brother Xian, you don't believe it?"
If he hadn't experienced it personally, Zhao Wen himself wouldn't believe that such nonsense existed in the world, but no matter how nonsense it was, it still existed.
"Of course I don't believe it. Mr. Zhao, you serve as the governor of a county, and your rank is as high as two thousand stones. How can you give up such a high position just by asking for it? Is it possible that he, Wang Ze, can influence the appointment and transfer of a high-ranking official like you?"
Zhu Han didn't believe this kind of thing, and immediately retorted: "If their family really has such ability, then why would they come to a border area like Daijun?"
"Well, whether you believe it or not, dear brother, this is the fact. To be honest, the second young master came to Daijun this time just to understand the local situation with me. If my brother's prediction is correct, next year Wang Ze will I will take over as the governor of the county."
Zhao Wen called Wang Ze by his first name in front of Zhu Han, which showed that he was also resentful, but he quickly changed the title, "Xian brother, you have offended the second young master. If you work under him in the future, you will definitely be angry. For Brother, I told you in advance because I also want to form a good relationship with you, my virtuous brother."
"Prefect Zhao, do you mean to let me leave Dai County to develop?"
Zhu Han frowned slightly, and Xi Zhicai went to Luoyang to seek an official position for Zhu Han. He was also looking for the post of governor of this generation county. He was bound to get it for Dai County. However, now he learned such a thing from Zhao Wen's mouth. What do you think? If this is not nonsense, what is it?
Now Zhu Han regretted letting Xi Zhicai go. If Xi Zhicai was with him, he would definitely be able to guess the meaning of Zhao Wen's words. But if Zhu Han came to listen, he could only hear something ambiguous.
Zhao Wen had two purposes for hosting him today. One was that, as Zhao Wen said, he was just a wage earner, and he had taken a seat for the boss's son. Now the boss's son wanted to come and cause trouble on his own. He was a little reluctant to give up, and then he thought of uniting with Zhu Han; secondly, Zhao Wen's words were purely for the purpose of confusing people, so that Zhu Han took the initiative to leave Daijun after being afraid of the Wang family. He flexed his muscles.
No matter what purpose Zhao Wen has, Zhu Han must leave Dai County. If not, the relationship between him and the Wang family will only get deeper and deeper.
"No, no! My brother wants to join forces with you, my virtuous brother, to fight against the Wang family together!"
Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment. He was deeply afraid that Zhu Han would not believe it, so he quickly said: "If you are a good brother and you don't believe me, I am willing to sworn brothers with you as brothers of the opposite sex. From now on, we will share blessings and share hardships. As long as we are old Brother, I am still in this position as the prefect of Daijun. My dear brother, you will be the lieutenant of my Daijun. You will be in charge of all the troops and horses in my Daijun. Even Han Heng will be under your command, dear brother. How about that?"
The conditions offered by Zhao Wen were indeed generous enough. Zhu Han almost nodded and agreed. However, he was used to being a top leader. Now he was asked to return to his old career and be the second-in-command for a thousand years. He was really uncomfortable. If he and Zhao Wen exchange positions, Zhu Han might be able to reluctantly agree.
"Prefect Zhao, your words have confused me. Aren't you from the Wang family? Why do you want to join forces with me to fight against the Wang family? Besides, the Wang family has no enmity with me. How could you possibly offend the Wang family because of this?"
Zhu Han sneered and replied lightly.
Until now, he roughly understood what Zhao Wen meant. It seemed that this guy was not willing to be ordinary. He started thinking about how to confront his master. He was really unfamiliar with it. White-eyed wolf.
"Brother, Wang Ze is not an easy person to get along with. Don't look at him. He is always smiling and acting like a humble young man. In fact, he is a shady man and can do anything. Cooperate with him.
, it’s no different from seeking skin from a tiger, it’s better to cooperate with me. Now, brother, I have Han Heng’s 500 soldiers and horses, plus your 500 soldiers and horses, my dear brother. Even if the Wang family wants to get involved in Daijun, they will have to do it.
Just weigh it up!"
Zhao Wen continued to try to win over Zhu Han, even if it meant transferring Han Heng to Zhu Han's command, he was willing to do so. However, what Zhao Wen never expected was that Han Heng had already become Zhu Han's subordinate.
It's another thing to be able to move Han Heng without directing, but Zhu Han can't be moved by such a bargaining chip.
