Chapter Fifty-Three: Broad and Magnanimous

  Among the captured bandits, there were two from Eastern Wu. After separate interrogations, they confessed that they were sent by Zhang Wei.

  Since he was removed from his original position due to dereliction of duty and became a loose official under Zhang Zhao, the difference in power and prestige compared to before was too great, and his face was also greatly damaged. Adding to this, he resented Zhuge Jun's relationship with Sun Shangxiang, and decided to take revenge on Zhuge Jun. When he learned from the people sent to monitor Zhuge Jun's movements that Zhuge Jun would be going to Xiliang to send off relatives, he quickly dispatched someone to Jingzhou to bribe bandits to ambush Zhuge Jun's convoy, wanting to take Zhuge Jun's life.

  That day, they ambushed on the road, ready to attack, and found that Zhuge Jun's team was too large, so they didn't want to take action. Under Zhang Wei's urging, Hu 'randomly' shot some arrows as a 'token'.

  At that time, Zhuge saw the bandits attacking and felt that there was a problem, as it was not for robbery. This was clearly a retaliatory attack. He had come to this era without any enemies, and the only one he had ever had a grudge against was Zhang Wei, so he immediately thought of him. More chapters please visit. It's expected.

  What surprised him was that he had not provoked him at all, everything was his own doing, and yet he was so vicious as to want to take his life. He thought to himself, fortunately, he was careful and brought many people with him, otherwise he would have been wiped out by the bandits.

  Zhang Wei's identity is special, and Zhuge Jun really has a headache. If he turns his face, with Sun Shangxiang's identity and the status of Zhuge Jin, Lu Su and others, and holding evidence, it's not difficult to deal with Zhang Wei. However, this would thoroughly make him an enemy of Zhang Zhao, which is extremely unfavorable for his own development in Eastern Wu.

  However, if this matter is not handled, Zhang Wei will still not know to restrain himself and continue to do evil, it's unknown what kind of situation he will stir up. He thought for a moment, deciding to return to Eastern Wu to handle this matter first.

  He summoned Ma Dai and Han Qiang to escort the convoy ahead, while he himself would return to Eastern Wu for a trip.

  He brought eight attendants and rushed back to Wu County on horseback to see Zhuge Jin. Book.ha.ha.xiaoshuo.net updated at the first time

  Zhuge Jin found it very strange and asked: "Xiao Jun, how did you come back? Where are Ling'er and the others?"

  Zhuge Jian called him to withdraw from the left and right, and explained the whole story. Zhuge Jin was a person with a calm temperament, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but get furious, saying: "This is really giving face without wanting face, thinking that our Zhuge family is easy to bully. I'll show him what happens when you provoke us."

  He immediately stood up and went to find Sun Quan to ask him for justice.

  Zhuge Jian hastily pulled his older brother back and told him his thoughts, saying: "Older brother, to be honest, I also want to get rid of him, but Zhang Zhao is after all a deeply rooted tree. We can deal with Zhang Wei, but we cannot shake Zhang Zhao. How about this..."

  After finishing speaking, he handed over two identical pieces of evidence to him.

  Zhuge Jin looked at his younger brother with relief and thought to himself, "Xiao Jun is not only talented, but also has a broad mind. The method he came up with is the best. After all, turning against Zhang Zhao is no small matter. If we follow his plan, on the one hand, we can make Zhang Zhao admit his guilt, and on the other hand, we can grasp his handle, which will be very beneficial to us in the future."

  He said to his brother: "This is the best solution, it's just a bit unfair to you."

  Zhuge Jun smiled and said, "Big brother, what's there to be wronged about? For the sake of our family matters, this is all necessary. Haha... Besides, it's not worth getting angry for the sake of a small person."

  After finishing speaking, he stood up and said: "Big brother, you can do it this way, I'll go back and take a look at Xiang Er."

  Zhuge Jin also stood up and put his arm around his shoulder, saying: "Let's go, I'll see you off."

  He saw Zhuge Jun off and immediately ordered his carriage made ready to go see Lu Su.

  When he saw Lu Su, he told him about what had happened. Lu Su was also shocked and felt that the matter was difficult to handle.

  Last time Zhang Wei lost his job, grasping this matter to make a fuss, there was no problem. But it's not easy to deal with matters of life and death. If this matter is exposed, Zhang Wei's 'life' will surely be lost, which is equivalent to declaring war on Zhang Zhao. In the future, the military and political sides will be like fire and water, which is not conducive to the overall situation of Eastern Wu. But if Zhang Wei is not dealt with, how can we account for Zhuge Jun and Sun Shangxiang?

  He was pondering a countermeasure, when Zhuge Jin told him about Zhuge Jun's idea. Lu Su was overjoyed and said: "Ziyu, your younger brother is truly an extraordinary person, not only talented but also broad-minded. No wonder the princess has such a crush on him, even Wu Hou and Guo Tai have praised him several times. This is the best solution, let's see if Zhang Zhao dares to challenge us again in the future!"

  The two men agreed on a plan and Zhuge Jin went to Zhang Zhao's office.

  The two of them had no dealings with each other in the past, and since the last incident, they didn't even greet each other when they met. When he saw Zhuge Jin, he felt that nothing good would come out of it.

  Zhuge Jin handed over the testimonies of Zhang Wei's men and the bandits to Zhang Zhao. After reading them, his face immediately turned pale, and he leaned silently against the sofa.

  After a long time, Zhang Zhao said: "Prime Minister Zhuge, I know what to do. Since he has committed a crime against the state law, he should take responsibility for it. Let me have two days, let him say goodbye to his family, and then I will personally send him to the yamen."

  Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "Director Zhang, I didn't come here with that intention. Don't misunderstand." As he spoke, he tore the evidence in his hand to shreds and threw it on the ground.

  Zhang Zhao looked at him in surprise and said: "What's this?"

  Zhuge Jin said, "This matter cannot be made public. If it is, the repercussions in both the military and political circles will be enormous, you understand that better than I do. My brother is broad-minded and for the sake of unity between Eastern Wu's military and politics, he has decided not to pursue this matter further. As long as Zhang Wei does not provoke my brother again, we will never make a sound about it and forever forget this incident. You can rest assured that those who knew about it have already been taken care of."

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhao was overjoyed and stood up to pay his respects. With a face full of shame, he said: "Master Zhuge, I, Zhang Zhao, will never forget the great kindness you and your brother have shown me. I will wholeheartedly assist the Marquis of Wu and work together with you to revive Eastern Wu. Please be at ease, I guarantee on my honor that there will never again be any incidents targeting your younger brother."

  After bidding farewell to Zhang Zhao, he came to Lu Su's place and told him about the process of meeting with Zhang Zhao. Lu Su was also very delighted.

  Zhuge Jun returned to the Inviting Moon Mountain Villa, and the sharp-eyed 'female' soldier quickly ran to report to Sun Shangxiang. As soon as he entered the gate, Sun Shangxiang had already rushed over, excitedly calling out: "Brother Jun." She was so moved that she couldn't speak anymore.

  It's been a few days since he last saw her, and he really missed this little girl. He didn't care that there were many female soldiers and servants around, so he picked up her legs, bent them, and carried her upstairs.

  The female soldiers were all young girls, who had never seen such a scene before. They were busy covering their faces, but secretly peeking through their fingers.
