Chapter 82: Hidden Pawn



The more Cui Zhihao thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed to him. He also became more annoyed with Liu Zhi who suddenly showed up to mess things up.

Fortunately, seeing that Cui Zhihan still refused, Liu Zhi didn't say anything else, and didn't even say a word. He turned around and left.

Seeing this scene, Cui Zhihan couldn't help but frown.

Cui Zhihao sneered, "Liu Zhi is so rude! He hasn't even shown my brother any courtesy since he came to the classroom."

Someone in the hall left and said, "Don't worry about it, my two lords. Liu Zhi is just a lunatic."

Cui Zhihao was very satisfied to hear someone agree with him. He laughed heartily and recognized the man as Han Zhuowu. He immediately praised him, "Mr. Zhuowu is right. It's me who is too narrow-minded."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhuowu quickly said, "Oh, you can't say that. The fact that the Second Young Master can speak like that shows how broad-minded he is."

Cui Zhihao laughed heartily and waved his hands repeatedly, "Thank you for your compliment. I'm just learning from my mistakes and correcting them. How can I dare to call myself magnanimous?"

But even though he said this, he looked very proud.

Everyone else in the hall lowered their eyes and remained silent.

Cui Zhihan frowned again. To be honest, he was also very angry about Liu Zhi's rude behavior.

What made him even more uncomfortable was the business nonsense being boasted about by his second brother and Han Zhuowu.

He waved his hand and snorted coldly, "Okay, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the current situation. Mr. Wenshan just said that the Feng family cannot move, but if the Feng family does not move, won't it encourage the arrogance of certain people?

Until then..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly heard a faint noise outside and couldn't help but frown.

I was just about to ask what the noise outside was about.

Suddenly, a servant stumbled in and reported: "Master, Master, something bad has happened, something bad has happened..."

"How dare you! This is the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's residence. Who gave you the guts to barge in without permission?"

Cui Zhihan saw that first Liu Zhi came and went like a gust of wind, and now this servant actually rushed in directly.

At least I am in charge of the situation now. You are all acting like this. Don’t you care about my reputation?

After scolding him, he saw that the servant was terrified, so he snorted and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me!"

After saying that, he snorted again, "Humph, you're so flustered, how can you be so disgraceful?"

The servant was so frightened that he was silent. He quickly straightened his attitude and bowed, saying, "My lord, Mr. Wenshan wanted to go to the inner hall to pay his respects to the Prime Minister, but we said that the Prime Minister had already retired and asked him to come back tomorrow.

But Mr. Wenshan flew into a rage, calling us fools and causing trouble. Then he just barged in!

Cui Zhihan was pretending to pick up the teacup and drink tea, but when he heard this, he almost spit out the tea and blood.

His face changed drastically, and he slammed the table and cursed angrily: "What an idiot! Why didn't you tell me such a big thing earlier?!"

The servant was about to cry, thinking to himself, "Is this my fault? I already told you it was bad, but you didn't ask what was wrong. Instead, you scolded me and then told me not to panic.

Okay, tell me not to panic, but you are the one who panicked!"

How can Cui Zhihan not panic?

He had no idea that Liu Zhi was so reckless. He didn't care about the servant anymore and rushed out in a panic.

Cui Zhihao also rushed out, but when he passed the servant, he gritted his teeth and kicked him: "You idiot, he dared to come in, didn't you know to stop him?"

The servant didn't dare to hide even after being kicked, and said tremblingly: "I...I tried to stop him, but I couldn't..."

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, knowing that these servants could certainly stop them if they really wanted to, but they were servants, and Liu Zhi was a guest of honor, and the prime minister treated him with great respect.

How do they stop it?

Cui Zhihao knew this, but he was still angry. He gritted his teeth and kicked again, cursing, "Asshole, he's alone, and there are so many of you, you can't stop him. Where are your knives?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed slightly.

Cui Zhihao also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. His expression changed slightly, and then he snorted angrily and walked out of the room.

Seeing that both of them had left, they looked at each other in confusion.

Their expressions were also extremely wonderful.

No one expected Liu Zhi to be so bold.

Someone sighed and said, "Should we go and take a look as well? If possible, we should also plead for Liu Zhijun."

Someone echoed, "Yes, although Liu Zhijun's action was reckless, it was also a loyal act. At this time, if there is no Prime Minister to take charge, I am afraid that people will be uneasy."

"Everyone, this is wrong."

Someone in the crowd made a different sound, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and it was Han Zhuowu.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Han Zhuowu stroked his short beard and said arrogantly, "I've said before about people like Liu Zhi. They are just crazy people who deceive their superiors and bully their subordinates, seeking fame and reputation.

If you ask about his talent and virtue, it is actually just like that.

Don't you all know who caused the current situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

After saying this, he glanced at the crowd and smiled again, "Now that the Prime Minister has been forced to step aside, we, the ministers, should do our utmost to assist the two young masters and relieve the Prime Minister's worries. So, what did Liu Zhi do?"

"snort!"

Han Zhuowu snorted coldly, his expression filled with righteous indignation as he sternly declared, "You have completely disregarded the overall situation and have acted arbitrarily. This time, you actually dared to do something as outrageous as trespassing into the back hall of the Prime Minister's residence. It's no exaggeration to say you're completely insane."

He sneered again, his eyes sweeping over the crowd again, and sarcastically said, "You all actually want to plead for him. Not to mention offending the Prime Minister, but who will be held responsible for disturbing the women in the Prime Minister's residence due to the chaos we have caused?"

“Ah, this…”

Han Zhuowu's rapid-fire words instantly made everyone's faces look gloomy and uncertain.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and no one dared to go and plead for mercy.

However, they couldn't just leave, so the group of people could only stay where they were and wait for a response.

But many people are a little worried.

Everyone in the Cui family understood that Liu Zhi was one of the core members of the Cui family. In a sense, his importance was even greater than that of the two princes. It could be said that he was second only to Prime Minister Cui Cen.

If Liu Zhi came into conflict with Cui Cen because of this, it would definitely be a big blow to Cui's faction.

Only Han Zhuowu remained calm.

He paced slowly in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion as if nothing had happened, and no one paid much attention to him.

No one noticed that when the man walked to a shadowy corner, he quickly stuffed a small ball of paper into the carved window on the courtyard wall.

Then he returned to the crowd as if nothing had happened, smiling and chatting with the people around him.

At the same time, the paper ball was taken away by a hand outside without anyone noticing.

A cup of tea later, the paper ball appeared in a private room in Tianxiaju. Wang Xuance and others had already used this place as a temporary command post.

Unfolding the paper, Wang Xuance's expression changed slightly. He then smiled at everyone, "Han Zhuowu sent word that Liu Zhi, unable to see Cui Cen, had actually chosen to force his way into the back hall of the Prime Minister's residence."
