Chapter 178: The Bachelor of Xiuwen Museum arrives, and the identity of Bachelor Zhao is revealed

The excitement in the corner of the pavilion in the outer garden attracted the attention of more and more guests.

Therefore, when Zhao Duan said these words calmly, there was discussion from the outside of the crowd, especially the gathered scholars with different expressions.

The pretty faces of Eugene Flower and his daughter changed even more, realizing that it was difficult to recover from the overflowing water.

As for the leader of the "Four Young Masters" who was domineering and arrogant just now, after being stunned, his eyes were filled with joy instead of anger.

Zhao Duan saw all the changes in his expression and said: "Actually, I know your intention. It is nothing more than using this clumsy method to try to anger me and using verbal provocation in exchange for I acted out of line.

Especially in this place, today the eminent monk of Shenryuji Temple invited celebrities from Kyoto to gather together. "

The handsome young man with an unruly face and a birthmark on the side of his face was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly:
"What are you talking about..."

Zhao Duan ignored it and continued calmly:

"You and I had a feud, and many people know about it. Therefore, your provocation can be interpreted as seeking revenge. This is in line with your 'personality', well, it is the image in the eyes of outsiders.

But you are still too rough. If you want to trouble me after such a long time, why didn't you come before? Did you choose today? "

Dong San opened his mouth: "Because..."

"Because we happened to meet each other? Because the Dong family has been gaining momentum recently? It makes you feel confident?"

Zhao Duan exposed his lies, looked directly into the eyes of this number one dude, shook his head and said: "No, it's not the case. At most, this is just an excuse for outsiders to see. Although you are not very smart, But after all, one shouldn't be so stupid.

Let me think about it...Is it to please Dong Xuan? Please please your Grand Master... This is the only reason that barely makes sense. "

Zhao Duan said calmly:

"Dong Xuan was quite unhappy with me, and even went to His Majesty to remonstrate with me, a villain... This is not a secret in the capital.

Especially recently, it has been rumored that this should be the reason why so many scholars dare to offend and criticize me...

Oh, among scholars, there are indeed some who are strong-willed and dare to speak out, but most of them are still just like a fool.

In the past, it was enough to criticize me, but not long ago, I just deposed one of the nine dignitaries... Are they not afraid of attracting revenge from me? "

Around him, there were scholars whose expressions changed slightly, as if their thoughts had been exposed, and they were about to speak:
"When..."

"Of course I'm afraid," Zhao Duan said:

"But they still dared not to blame others because of the law, but also because there were widespread rumors that Grand Master Dong didn't like me.

And you, as the third generation grandson of the Dong family, are also disliked by Dong Xuan because of your neglect of discipline.

It makes sense to jump out to deal with me and try to guide me to take action in Shenlong Temple Zhaiyuan in order to please Dong Xuan.

Therefore, from beginning to end, you only spoke dirty words. Even from beginning to end, you only targeted my Zhao family and did not involve anyone else.

A verbal provocation, even if it is scolded and punished, is not a big deal after all.

Ha... And if I take action here today, I will not only offend Shenlong Temple, but also make the princes in the court feel disgraced. Maybe, I will be charged with damaging the relationship between the court and Shenlong Temple. …

In this way, you can tell the truth to the group of scholars behind you... and finally achieve the goal of forcing Your Majesty to alienate me, a villain, under pressure. "

Zhao Duan sighed softly.

He glanced at the dandy young master who had completely changed his expression and said: "I'm a little curious now, who gave you this bad idea? Are you still complacent about being used as a weapon?

It seems that Dong Xuan is indeed old and has no energy to teach you three generations of juniors.

You know, the last person who caused trouble for his family because of his brother's dandyism was Pei Kaizhi... Don't you have a long memory? Oh, you may not know this at all..."

As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue changed subtly.

Young Master Dong San lost his domineering energy and felt cold.

All hits!

All his thoughts were revealed by Zhao Duan!
At this time, feeling the complicated gazes of the people around him, a surge of anger surged up.

But he knew in his heart that the plan could no longer be implemented, and he was suddenly in a dilemma.

Since the other party has made it so clear, how can he be fooled?

However, the next second, Zhao Duan seemed to see through his mind and suddenly smiled:

"It's a very poor way of provoking generals, but if it succeeds, it's also a very effective calculation."

Sure enough, the false strategy is the result of masters' tricks and layer-by-layer calculations.

The real strategy is to ambush swordsmen at the Hongmen Banquet, or to rush in recklessly without any brains.

"but……"

Just when everyone thought that the fun was about to end, Zhao Duan suddenly smiled and said: "But I really just want to do this."

What?
Before Dong San came to his senses, he saw Zhao Duan sitting on the table in front of him. Suddenly, there was fine frost spreading. It was the energy that turned into ice and was boiling and spreading.

Zhao Duan stood up slowly, and the Golden Crow flying knife in his sleeve suddenly extended and turned into a simple dagger covered in cold air.

Take steps towards the other person.

There were exclamations all around, and the crowd dispersed in fear.

Dong San was stunned on the spot, feeling the real murderous intention.

He didn't understand why Zhao Duan would take action even though he saw through it? Moreover, use the knife as soon as you come up?

Who gave him the confidence? Are you really not afraid of your grandfather's anger?

"Da Lang..." Eugene Hua and his daughter also looked frightened, but they didn't dare to pull him.

At this moment, from the periphery of the crowd, there was a sudden shouting:

"What are you doing?!"

The crowd made a way, and they saw Dong Da, who had returned from the hut, looking towards this side with a livid face.

Young Master Dong San trembled, turned around, and was like a mouse meeting a cat:
"Brother..."

Zhao Duan's expression suddenly became strange.

The others could not hide their surprise.

elder brother? There is probably only one person who can make the third young master of the Dong family be so humble and call him brother...

"Let me ask you! What are you...doing here?"

Dong Da had a sullen face and strode over, only to see Zhao Duan standing in front of the two women with his sword in hand.

At this moment, because it was too hot, the cold fog had dissipated just now, and Zhao Duan also suppressed his anger. When Dong Da looked at it, he only thought it was him carrying an ordinary sword.

"He is your brother?" Zhao Duan looked strange.

Dong Da surrendered in shame:

"Brother Zhao, my younger brother lacks discipline. I don't know why..."

Zhao Duan said "Oh" and said calmly: "I have offended him before, and he came here to insult the reputation of my aunt and sister."

Dong Da's expression suddenly changed and he looked at his brother in disbelief.

In an instant, he came up with the whole plot:
It must be his naughty younger brother who is looking for trouble, and he is jealous. Brother Zhao is unable to stop him, so he is forced to draw his sword to resist.

And when he saw Dong San's guilty expression, he knew that what Zhao Duan said was true.

Immediately his eyes widened with anger, a rush of blood rushed to his head, veins bulged on his forehead, and anger attacked his heart:

"You... you will never change your nature, you will never change your nature!"

"Brother...I..."

"Shut up!"

With an angry rebuke, Dong San lowered his head and shut up.

Dong Da suppressed his anger and confessed to Eugene and his daughter with a face of shame.

Then he turned around, picked up a wooden stick from somewhere, and looked at his younger brother with disappointed eyes:
"Kneel down!"

"Brother, I..."

"I'll make you kneel down!"

"Bang!"

A stick was struck on the back, and the most famous dandy in the capital, who no one dared to offend, fell to his knees in front of everyone.

It was obvious that his figure was much stronger than that of Dong Da, who looked like a frail scholar. He also practiced martial arts, but he didn't dare to fight back.

Dong Da looked angry and refused to argue:

"What did you say to me last time? You said you wanted to change your past and impress my grandpa. Is this how you impressed me?" At this moment, Shusheng Dong was extremely disappointed.

Reprimanding his younger brother in public like this would undoubtedly have a very bad impact on the Dong family's reputation, but he still did it.

It can be seen that he is deeply disappointed in his heart. He would rather let outsiders laugh, but also want to teach his third brother an unforgettable lesson.

The dandy boy kneeling on the ground wanted to explain, but seeing his brother's appearance, he couldn't.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Duan put the Golden Crow Flying Knife into his sleeve, as if he was no longer needed.

"Master Dong, calm down!"

Suddenly, a person from the crowd of onlookers walked out and said loudly: "Although the third young master is a little reckless, there is a reason for his action. Why should the eldest young master do this and humiliate his own family?"

The person who spoke was clearly a scholar of about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, with an extraordinary manner and conversation.

"Xu Hanlin is right, don't hurt your brothers' feelings because of outsiders." Another scholar agreed.

"Young Master, you must ask the reason why you are angry. The Third Young Master's words may not sound good, but our Zhao Jisi is not merciless at all, and has no respect for the Grand Master. He even calls him by his name. I want to draw my sword and strike at the Third Young Master..."

More scholars came forward, trying to dissuade them on the surface, but in reality they challenged them.

When Zhao Duan saw this, why couldn't he notice something strange?
He looked at Xu Hanlin, well, he was the vanguard who attacked him these days, a member of the "Li Party"?
Did he finally jump out? He didn’t panic at all and quietly watched the performance of these people.

"What? Zhao Jisi?"

Dong Da was stunned and understood what was going on from the crowd's chatter. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Duan in astonishment:
"Brother Zhao, you are..."

Zhao Duan nodded lightly and said with a smile, "It's me."

Dong Da was confused.

With so many thoughts in his mind, he wanted to ask, why did you go to prostitute Xiaoya girl...

But considering that the occasion was not right, I endured it.

Then, when he thought about how he had talked about scolding Zhao Duan in front of the other party not long ago, he felt extremely embarrassed and his anger also subsided a bit.

Then, only belatedly, I thought about Brother Zhao in my memory and the cruel official who was rumored to be uglier than the third brother...

Very different.

"So the eldest young master doesn't know his identity?"

Xu Hanlin was shocked, turned his gun, and sneered:

"What a great Mr. Zhao, he actually concealed his identity and got close to the eldest son of the Dong family, but he didn't know what he had in mind? Fortunately, the third young master broke through today, otherwise wouldn't it be possible for you to succeed? Is it bad for the Dong family? Bad for the grand master?"

What a hat... Zhao Duan wanted to applaud his quick thinking.

He guessed that it was the "Li Party" group of scholars who encouraged Dong San to cause trouble for him.

The opponent had already been "ambushing" nearby, just waiting for him to fight back before jumping out, but he didn't want to create any complications.

Now seeing Dong Da appear on the scene, I had to temporarily change the reason.

"No..." Dong Da wanted to explain that this matter is a bit complicated...

But the scholars around him who were already gearing up and ready to go did not give him a chance. They immediately spoke up and rebuked Zhao Duan: "Just now you drew your sword and started to attack. What did you intend to do? You can really use it as the Shenlong Temple Zhaiyuan." Where do you want to go wild? Where do you put the Shenlong Temple? Where do you put the face of the princes in the back garden?"

"Who assigned you to do this? Whose order did you take?"

"You also falsely accused the Third Young Master in public... It's really shameful to say that he deliberately provoked..."

The crowd was furious.

Scholars are good at talking. At this moment, the scholars headed by Xu Hanlin opened their mouths and angrily criticized Zhao Thief.

Zhao Duan said nothing and just looked at them coldly.

"Chen Daru is here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and an old man dressed as a corrupt scholar was seen coming from a distance, seemingly attracted by the noise here.

It was Chen Zhengru, one of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.

Zhao Duan was not familiar with this name. The first time he heard it was when Dong Da told him not long ago.

Chen Zhengru walked closer, frowned and shouted:

"Shut up! What's the etiquette of shouting and shouting in the garden? What happened?"

Xu Hanlin was "overjoyed" and hurriedly said:

"Teacher, you are here..."

Then, he quickly described what happened. In his narration, Dong San's evil deeds were lightly replaced and described as "saying a few strange words."

Zhao Duan's behavior was severely criticized.

It seems like a heinous crime.

"This is happening," Chen Zhengru was furious. He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Duan and said coldly: "I have long heard that there is a capable official in the capital. When I see him today, he is well-deserved. On the occasion of the Zhongyuan Festival to worship the gods. On that day, this peaceful and fasting place of Buddhism used weapons and weapons indiscriminately. Just because of some words, he wanted to kill people, and he even dared to insult the grand master of the dynasty and deceive the young master of the Dong family...

What a capable official, what a great envoy to Zhao. Today I have opened my eyes to the fact that there are crazy people like you in the capital...

When I heard someone comparing you to Han Banshan before, I thought you were just a person. Now it seems that comparing the two of you is an insult to Han Zou, an insult to the young bachelors of Xiuwen Hall, and an insult to the majesty of the Grand Master. "

Zhao Duan drooped his eyelids:

"Finished?"

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Chen Zhengru said solemnly: "A child cannot be taught, what do you say?"

Zhao Duan was about to speak to end this farce.

Suddenly, outside the crowd, there was a commotion in the direction of the entrance to the Zhaiyuan, and someone shouted the name "Bachelor of Xiuwenkan".

Gradually it became clear.

Only then did people realize that the bachelors from Xiuwenguan had arrived.

In an instant, many people watching the excitement looked away, stretched their necks, and curiously looked at this group of upstarts.

Chen Zhengru, Xu Hanlin and others looked happy, saying that it was a good idea, and it was just a matter of time to confirm the matter.

They are not afraid of making a big fuss, but they are afraid of not making a big fuss.

"Grandpa, are they here?"

Dong Da's face changed slightly, and he didn't know how to end it.

The third young master who was kneeling on the ground quietly got up and moved out furtively. Today's incident was too big, beyond his expectation.

"Han Banshan! I have admired you for a long time..."

"Guo Jieyuan, do you still remember me?"

"Your Majesty, how are you doing, sir?"

Many people climbed over and greeted me with smiles.

The excitement over there was in stark contrast to the tension over Zhao Duan's side.

At this time, a group of Xiuwenguan bachelors who had just come to attend the meeting for the New Deal were also attracted by the crowd gathered here.

I couldn't help but walked over curiously and wanted to find out.

Chen Zhengru smiled slightly and gave his student Xu Hanlin a look. The latter understood it and stepped forward with a smile:

"Brother Banshan..."

Han Zhou came over confused and frowned slightly when he saw the bachelor Chen Zhengru and his colleague Xu Hanlin.

Then, his eyes fell on someone in the pavilion, and a friendly smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Walk straight over.

Outsiders only think that it is the friendship between Han Zhi and Xu Hanlin, and they can't help but envy them.

Xu Hanlin was a little surprised. His relationship with Han Zou was only average, so why was he so enthusiastic...

However, the next second, he knew the whole story.

Han Zou passed him by without even looking at him.

Instead, he came to Zhao Duan, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Scholar Zhao, just now we were expecting you to be there, but we didn't expect to find you as soon as we entered the door."
