Chapter 598 Old Six's Little Hamburger? Sima Yi Shifts the Blame Eastward!
"Fa Xiaozhi! Get down here right now!"
Mao Jie's defenses were broken instantly.
He could clearly see that Fa Zheng's trousers seemed to be stained with yellow mud.
Wait, is this yellow mud or...?
The thought that this might be the legendary Lao Ba's secret recipe mini burger almost made Mao Jie throw up his lunch!
Ignoring Mao Jie's thoughts, Fa Zheng rubbed hard against Mao Jie's seat twice.
Only after confirming that the yellow mud on his pants had gotten onto the seat did Fa Zheng stop.
Yes, this is real yellow mud, really!
Fa Zheng is an honest and kind man who never lies; he only lies to dogs!
"Bastard!"
Mao Jie became anxious, grabbed the hilt of the sword beside him, and made a move to draw his sword, but he didn't dare to actually do it.
What does Fazheng look like now?
Despite being called Mao Jie's assistant, he was actually more difficult to serve than the master, acting like a living ancestor!
Unfortunately, Mao Zedong had absolutely no way to deal with Fa Zhengyi.
The system of legal officials was established within the Ministry of Personnel and was directly managed by Xun Yu.
Even if Mao Jie were to commit suicide, he would not be able to expel Fa Zheng if Xun Yu did not budge!
As for using the same methods against Wang Gang to deal with Fa Zheng.
Honestly, Mao would have to be insane to do that!
To rashly attack someone like Fazheng, the sixth son of a powerful figure, is tantamount to suicide!
Therefore, Fazheng is invincible.
As for being given the cold shoulder or anything like that, he doesn't care at all.
Only after leaving the Minister's residence did I realize how wonderful the world is.
Mao Jie was making things difficult for him? What a kind man! This was clearly an attempt to add some fun to his mundane and boring life!
"That's all..."
Mao Jie, furious, covered his face and left.
He doesn't want the seat anymore; he wants to work in a different place!
After Mao Jie left, Lu Xun couldn't hold back any longer and a smile appeared on his face.
"What are you laughing laughing?"
“I, Fa Zheng, am a respectable person.”
"If it weren't for the task assigned by the Lord, why would I be so undignified?"
Fa Zheng picked his nose and wiped it with the coat that Mao Jie had placed on the table.
Well, we should leave Mao Jie a little gift, right?

Changan
Sili Xiaowei Office
Zhong Yao has become a desktop cleaning master.
Enraged, he wished he could slap Mao Jie to death!
WTF?
What did Wang Gang, under my command, do to deserve this?
You just casually cleaned it up?
Thinking of Mao Jie, Zhong Yao was about to curse Su Yu and Xun Yu, but then he felt that something was wrong.
Although Zhong Yao did not have God's perspective, he was not unintelligent.
At the same time, he knew clearly that Wang Gang was one of his own.
The person who attacked Zhao Yan was not Wang Gang, nor Du Ji, nor Sima Yi!
In other words, none of the higher-ups in this faction want to take action against Zhao Yan.
In this partisan struggle, he was simply caught in the crossfire and was even forced to lose Wang Gang!
Then here's the problem: it was Mao Jie who attacked Wang Gang.
Who attacked Zhao Yan?
"Could it be...?"
A hint of speculation appeared in Zhong Yao's eyes.
Just then, Sima Yi walked in from outside.
Seeing the mess on the ground, Sima Yi didn't say anything, but bent down and silently tidied everything up.
With her thrifty and hardworking demeanor, if the genders were reversed, she would definitely be worthy of the title of a virtuous wife!
"Zhongda, you can just leave those things to the servants to pack up. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Sima Yi laughed:
“Servants only know how to do their duty and receive their salary, but Zhongda knows how to repay your kindness, sir!”
Zhong Yao felt a lump in his throat.
Zhongda is always so considerate and makes him feel so warm!
Without Sima Yi even having to ask, Zhong Yao voiced his doubts.
In fact, Sima Yi had already sensed that something was wrong.
Because he himself is a top-notch undercover agent, it's hard not to suspect that there might be enemy spies planted in their own camp!
It seems that Mao Jie has uncovered the truth, exonerated Zhao Yan and Xiahou Shang, and stripped the culprit Wang Gang of his official position!
But in reality, did Su Yu and Xun Yu's camp actually benefit?
The position of Prefect of Nanyang had already been taken by the forces of Su Yu and Xun Yu.
Replacing Zhao Yan with Mao Jie is at best a substitute, and there's no real benefit to be gained.
The position of Prefect of Nanyang is currently unfilled.
However, given the friendly relationship between Zhong Yao and the Nanyang aristocratic families, it is highly likely that someone from Zhong Yao's faction will be appointed as the Chief Administrator of Nanyang.
Wang Gang has really lost everything. He went from being a high-ranking official to a nobody, and he lost his status as the clan leader. He's nothing now!
In the end, Zhong Yao's camp did not suffer any major losses overall.
However, the newly appointed Prefect of Nanyang could not possibly be as comfortable to work with as a staunch loyalist like Wang Gang.
If you can develop a bond with a dog, how much more so with Wang Gang, who has a close personal relationship with Zhong Yao?
Therefore, Zhong Yao's camp will definitely retaliate regarding the matter of Nanyang!
Whether it's a protest or a way to vent anger for Wang Gang, it's all part of the protest.
If a key member of a faction is attacked and the faction leader remains indifferent, the faction becomes difficult to lead.
However, the target of the attack, the direction of the war, was not necessarily Nanyang, but other places.
although.
The conflict between Zhong Yao and Su Yu was already deep-seated, belonging to a conflict between factions.
Without any provocation, the two will fight for their own faction.
But the difference between a localized hot war and a full-scale hot war is enormous!
Who ultimately benefits from instigating a full-blown war between Su Yu and Zhong Yao?
If... Mao Jie is no longer one of Su Yu and Xun Yu, but rather one of the third faction!
Does this make sense now?
Sima Yi truly lived up to his name.
Based on the limited conditions, he deduced the correct answer in the shortest amount of time.
Looking at Zhong Yao before him, Sima Yi decided to guide him.
"My lord, do you still remember Hua Xin?"
"My subordinates sent people to Jizhou to keep an eye on this person. We heard that he has been frequently visiting the heads of major clans in Jizhou and Youzhou recently."
"Oh? This guy also wants to seize the opportunity to rise to power?"
A mocking glint appeared in Zhong Yao's eyes.
In his view, the powerful families of Jizhou had long been out of the picture.
Hua Xin's fantasy was ultimately unrealistic.
The best choice is to honestly join Zhong Yao's camp and help him defeat Su Yu!
Sima Yi's eyes darted around:
"I'm wondering if the person who attacked Zhao Yan could be one of Hua Xin's men?"
"He deliberately instigated a conflict between you and Su Yu, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."
With Sima Yi's prompting, the outline in Zhong Yao's mind quickly took shape.
"I knew something was wrong with Zhao Yan's matter!"
"It turns out that the one who was hiding the deepest was actually that old bastard Hua Xin!"
"Hmph, do you really think I have no way to deal with him?"
"Zhongda, grind the ink for me. Let that old bastard experience the consequences of messing with my men!"
"okay!"
Sima Yi instantly transformed into the most devout lackey, treating Zhong Yao as if he were serving his adoptive father.
They've mastered the art of shifting blame eastward—they're incredibly shrewd!
Dear brother-in-law, I, your brother-in-law, have done it again!
