Deng Mansion, the hall was crowded with people.
There were more than ten people sitting in the hall, and everyone was wearing rich clothes.
However, everyone looked sad, as if their parents had died.
Nanzheng County is a place as big as the palm of your hand.
If any trivial matter happens to any family, other families will get the news in the shortest possible time.
The news that Yang Lian was invited to the prefect's mansion by Wang Can spread in Nanzheng County in a short time.
Because the wealthy gentry all have evil intentions in their hearts, they are afraid that Wang Can will investigate and convict him.
These people were cowardly and swarmed to Deng Zheng's house to inquire about the situation.
At the same time, I also wanted to see how the old fox Deng Zheng handled this matter.
Who doesn't know how to adapt to the wind?
They would handle it how Deng Zheng handled it.
However, there are many people talking, and everyone in the hall is saying something, and it is a mess.
The heads of the big families were all in disarray, fearing that Wang Can would pursue him.
After all, Wang Can's fierce power had been demonstrated, and he was domineering, ferocious, and unstoppable.
However, these family heads did not consider the consequences when they made their decisions, and they had no means to deal with the situation when it happened. snob Wherever there is interest, go for it.
If Deng Zheng can guarantee their interests, they will follow Deng Zheng in doing things.
Once something goes wrong, everything will pile on Deng Zheng's head, waiting for Deng Zheng, an old fox, to deal with all the troubles.
Facing the noisy situation in the hall, Deng Zheng looked calm and did not react at all.
He was wearing a black robe, his silver hair was neatly combed, and there were two bags under his eyes.
His dark pupils looked extremely deep, and there were occasional glints in his eyes.
His eyes passed over the heads of the family who were whispering to each other, and a trace of disappointment flashed in their eyes.
After a round of inspection, they finally landed on Duan Chi and Chen Xi, with a look of relief in their eyes.
There are still two people who can hold their own, which is not bad.
"Ahem" Deng Zheng coughed twice, the sound was not loud and a little low and hoarse.
However, it was this low and hoarse voice that made the discussing family heads immediately stop, sit upright, and straighten their bodies.
Everyone turned their heads and stared at Deng Zheng.
Their burning eyes fell on Deng Zheng's face, expecting Deng Zheng to come up with a solution.
People who are not successful enough Deng Zheng sighed in his heart, feeling sad for the rich family in Nanzheng.
Without successors, the Nanzheng clan will soon decline.
"Everyone, please listen to me.
I know what you are worried about.
Please keep your heart in your stomach.
Don't worry.
Although Wang Can is ruthless and decisive, he will not use troops against you."
"The war is imminent.
Wang Can is fully preparing for the war, and all his energy is focused on Liu Yan.
Judging from the current situation, Cai Yong has not convinced Wang Can, and our goal has not been achieved.
Even so, there are gains.
This gain is that we have established a relationship with Cai Yong.
As long as we can clearly see Cai Yong's hobbies, fall in love with him, let Cai Yong lower his guard against us, and be able to speak for us, our Nanzheng family will be able to win over Wang Can.
A foothold in the camp.”
Deng Zheng spoke very slowly, but everyone was paying attention and did not dare to neglect.
"Although when it comes to major military and political matters, Wang Can makes his own decisions and will not be affected by Cai Yong.
However, when dealing with some small matters, Cai Yong can influence Wang Can's decision.
Therefore, the next thing is to make good friends with Cai Yong.

Yong, let him be used by us.
I don’t need to tell you the specific method.
You are all experienced people, so you can handle it yourself. " After finishing speaking, Deng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
When people reach old age, they lose energy.
If he were thirty years younger, Deng Zheng would still have to fight hard On the left side of the hall, Chen Xi stood up, raised his hands and said: "Mr.
Deng, we contacted Cai Yong privately and asked Cai Yong to persuade Wang Can to stop the army to prevent Wang Can from borrowing our servants to protect him.
Now Wang Can is not affected by Cai Yong. , what should we do if Wang Can issues an order to recruit our private soldiers?"
After speaking, Chen Xi looked at Deng Zheng with burning eyes, waiting for Deng Zheng to speak.
"Clan Leader Chen is right, how to deal with it is the important thing."
"Mr.
Deng, you have to come up with a plan."
Everyone was relieved after being fooled by Deng Zheng, but became nervous again after hearing Chen Xi's words.
It is one thing for Wang Can not to pursue the blame, but it is another thing for Wang Can to recruit soldiers from the big families.
The private soldiers raised by the big families are an important guarantee for protecting the safety of the family.
After being borrowed by Wang Can, it can be said that they have There is no return.
After all, life and death are unpredictable in battlefields.
What Chen Xi said hit the nail on the head and directly pointed out the most critical point.
Everyone came together to plot against Wang Can.
Isn't it for this purpose?
Now that Wang Can is about to send troops, he may need to borrow troops.
Deng Zheng glanced at Chen Xi, then looked at the other family heads in the hall, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just to give Wang Can some private soldiers?
Just lend them to Wang Can.
There is nothing worth shirk.
Although the casualties on the battlefield are unpredictable, , but it is also a great opportunity to make a contribution.
If you want to take root in Hanzhong, this is the best opportunity.
If you miss it, you will not have the good opportunity in front of you. " What a fart After hearing this, all the family heads present secretly cursed Deng Zheng as an old fox.
You didn't say anything earlier, but now you're doing it in hindsight.
However, after the scolding continued, the heads of each family fell into deep thought again after hearing this.
Things are indeed as Deng Zheng said.
After being recruited by Wang Can, each family has so many people.
As long as someone performs meritorious service, someone will enter Hanzhong officialdom, and it will be easier for big families like them to gain a foothold.
Seeing everyone thinking deeply, Deng Zheng glanced at Chen Xi, with a proud smile on his wrinkled face.
One sentence led the family heads' thoughts to another direction.
Nothing but profit driven Deng Zheng had long seen through the true nature of all the family heads in the hall, they were a bunch of outsiders and profit chasers.
For Deng Zheng, he could justify whether Wang Can recruited private soldiers or not.
Designing Wang Can is to protect the interests of the Nanzheng family; following Wang Can on the battlefield is to gain more benefits.
Both of them are reasonable and beneficial to the Nanzheng clan.
These are two sides of the matter, but few people really see through it.
Turning your hands over becomes clouds, turning over your hands becomes rain.
At Deng Zheng's age, he is used to seeing the wind and the moon, and has experienced countless things.
Dealing with a group of unclear-minded family heads is simply a matter of a few strokes.
When Chen Xi saw Deng Zheng convincing everyone with a few words, Chen Xi suddenly thought that he was a thief because he was old and did not die.
This old fox thief was cunning and could win everyone's hearts no matter what he said.
In the hall, the family heads began to get excited and were attracted by the blueprint drawn by Deng Zheng.
At this time, a doorman ran in from outside the hall: "Master, Yang Lian is asking for an audience outside the house."

"Bring it in" Deng Zheng's gray brows frowned slightly, not knowing what Yang Lian was doing at this time.
However, Deng Zheng regained his composure instantly and looked outside the hall, waiting for Yang Lian to come in.
After a while, Yang Lian walked into the hall.
His situation at this time was completely different from when he left the prefect's mansion.
He looked energetic and energetic.
"Deng Lao" After entering the hall, Yang Lian bowed to Deng Zheng, then nodded to Chen Xi, Duan Chi and others.
Deng Zheng smiled and said: "Clan Chief Yang, I heard that you were invited by the prefect Wang.
You came straight to me as soon as you came out of the prefect's house.
What happened?"
It must be said that Deng Zheng was so cunning.
Very soon, when Yang Lian was talking to everyone, he called Wang Can by his first name.
Now that Yang Lian came out of the prefect's mansion, he suddenly transformed into prefect Wang.
He changes so quickly that it's hard to fathom.
After hearing this, Yang Lian's expression changed slightly, and then he said loudly: "It is indeed important to visit Mr.
Deng.
I came to Mr.
Deng's house on this trip specifically to convey the order of Governor Wang."
When Deng Zheng heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his deep eyes.
It's true that he goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Deng Zheng said with a smile: "If Prefect Wang has any orders, please let Chief Yang make it clear."
Yang Lian glanced at everyone in the hall and said: "The first order is related to all of you here.
You tried to interfere in the political affairs of the prefect Wang through Cai Yong, which made the prefect Wang angry.
The prefect Wang was magnanimous and would not pursue it.
However, Taishou Wang is short of troops for this battle with Liu Yan, so your family needs to send two thousand private soldiers to help Taishou Wang.
If you have any objections, you can go to the Taishou Mansion and discuss it in person. " Yang Lian's speech was impeccable, and he blocked the mouths of all the family heads with just one sentence.
Two thousand private soldiers is not a small number.
However, these people did not have the courage to talk to Wang Can face to face.
Fortunately, it is not impossible to gather two thousand private soldiers.
After listening to Yang Lian's order, Deng Zheng suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
The first order involves everyone, and Deng Zheng can bear it.
Two thousand private soldiers are not a lot for the Deng family, which has been in Hanzhong for dozens or hundreds of years, and they can be easily gathered together.
What Deng Zheng was worried about was the second order, which was most likely directed at him.
Yang Lian continued: "The second order is about Mr.
Deng."
Deng Zhengxin was convinced, and he asked: "Clan Chief Yang, if there is any order from Governor Wang to convey, as long as it is within my power, I will not refuse and do my best to handle it for Governor Wang."
Hearing this, Yang Lian showed a strange smile on his face and said: "Mr.
Deng, Governor Wang said that you are too old to take charge of affairs in Hanzhong.
I hope you can go home to recuperate instead of going to the Governor's Mansion."
After finishing speaking, Yang Lian smiled.
Looking at Deng Zheng, he wanted to know how Deng Zheng answered Wang Can.
Didn’t the old fox want to do something good for Wang Can?
In this case, just stay in the mansion and resign.
However, when Yang Lian spoke, he also changed his statement and did not directly mention Wang Can's order for Deng Zheng to resign.
After Deng Zheng heard this, his old face immediately turned the color of pig liver.
It turned out to be resignation Deng Zheng was caught off guard by Wang Can.

The older this person gets, the stronger his desire to control power becomes.
This is the case with Deng Zheng.
Even though he was old, he still wanted to continue to be an official and had no intention of becoming an official.
Wang Can asked Deng Zheng to become an official, which directly affected Deng Zheng's lifeline and made Deng Zheng very embarrassed.
However, Wang Can was gaining momentum and his troops were strong and powerful.
Deng Zheng asked himself that he did not have the ability to resist Zhang Lu's 30,000-strong army.
However, Wang Can wiped out Zhang Lu in the blink of an eye, and Deng Zheng had no choice but to surrender.
After a long silence, Deng Zheng said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will take the initiative to resign, but I don't have to worry about it."
After Yang Lian heard this, he immediately laughed.
An old fox like Deng Zheng has given in, so what else can he complain about?
At this time, Yang Lian's mood suddenly improved.
He smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Mr.
Deng, Lian has to go back and recruit two thousand private soldiers.
I'm leaving."
"Not sent" Deng Zheng said something and waved his hand, signaling Yang Lian to leave.
After finishing speaking, Deng Zheng looked at the other family patriarchs in the hall and said, "Everyone has been ordered to go back.
Now is a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Don't miss it."
After hearing this, everyone said goodbye and left.
Chen Xi and Duan Chi also stood up to say goodbye to Deng Zheng and left Deng's mansion.
Resigning from office means that the era of Deng Zheng has passed. s: Third update, call it a day.
