Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

"Brother, isn't there some misunderstanding?"

"We are just chatting here, and we are not making fun of anyone."

"That's what the young man said."

“Nonsense, I heard it with my own ears.”

"Lord Xuande was a hero of great benevolence and righteousness."

"You previously maliciously fabricated stories about Lord Xuande being ungrateful, and now you dare to try and deny it here?"

Zhao Yun was furious.

He raised his fist as if to strike.

"Wait a minute."

"What are you talking about, brother? Oh, it's about Liu Bei!"

"We are merely stating the facts of this matter; there is no need for any fabrication."

The group was somewhat bewildered.

We are just here to drink and chat.

What wind blew you here?

Moreover, the story of Liu Bei had already spread throughout the land and was known to all.

What do you mean by "we are arranging"?

"I'm so angry."

"Lord Xuande is such a benevolent and outstanding man that his reputation for benevolence and righteousness has long been known throughout the world."

"What are you talking nonsense about here? If this isn't slandering Lord Xuande, then what is it?"

Zhao Yun was furious.

"Brother, you are mistaken."

"Everyone in the world knows this, so why should we fabricate it?"

After figuring out why Zhao Yun was angry, the group was no longer afraid of him and immediately snorted coldly.

"Everyone in the world knows? Why don't I know?"

Zhao Yun frowned.

"That's because you're ignorant. If you don't believe me, go to any county in Changshan and ask around. It's common knowledge that Liu Bei abandoned his wife and children and was ungrateful."

"Why should we arrange it?"

The young people were also ignorant of their own limitations.

They had no idea of ​​Zhao Yun's reputation.

No fear at all.

They even pried Zhao Yun's hand off.

"Ok?"

Zhao Yun was taken aback.

He then became even angrier.

He originally thought that with him stopping them, the other party would definitely not dare to say anything more.

Unexpectedly, the other party is now maliciously slandering Liu Bei to his face, saying that Liu Bei abandoned his wife and was ungrateful.

How could this not make him angry?

"Bullshit."

"Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is known throughout the land. I now tell you to shut up."

"How dare you talk nonsense to my face."

"Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Zhao Yun said angrily.

"The name of benevolence and righteousness? How laughable."

However, what Zhao Yun never expected was...

Originally, whenever I spoke of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, there would be a chorus of agreement from those around me.

This time, there was no one around to echo his sentiments.

Even the people at the next few tables couldn't help but sneer.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Yun's face was extremely grim.

"I laugh at your previous talk of benevolence and righteousness; that's all in the past."

"It is common knowledge throughout the world that Liu Bei now appoints people based on his own connections, is ungrateful, and has abandoned his wife and children."

"What kind of benevolence or righteousness can one speak of when ridiculed by the world?"

This time, it wasn't the young people speaking, but the restaurant manager.

Such a big thing happened at my own restaurant.

They even wanted to take action in their own restaurant.

The shopkeeper naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

So we rushed over immediately.

He overheard Zhao Yun's words and immediately became disdainful.

He initially thought these people were drunk and were going to cause trouble at his restaurant.

It turns out it was for Liu Bei.

"What do you mean by that, shopkeeper?"

Zhao Yun's expression was rather unpleasant.

If it were anyone else, Zhao Yun might not believe them.

But he knew this shopkeeper.

Because he sold most of his prey to this shopkeeper in exchange for money.

That's why he's here.

"what for?"

"You say Liu Bei was a man of great benevolence and righteousness? If it were a month ago, I would never have refuted you."

"But now..."

The shopkeeper gave a cold laugh.

"What should we do now?"

Zhao Yun asked.

"Liu Bei is a joke now."

"You..." Zhao Yun was furious. He immediately threw the young man aside, rushed to the shopkeeper, and grabbed him, saying, "I respect you as my customer, so I have always been very polite to you. Why do you keep slandering Lord Xuande?"

"I slandered him?"

"Is not it?"

"Fine, I didn't want to talk to you originally. As long as you don't cause trouble in my restaurant, I don't want to bother with you. But since you're bringing this up today, I'll have to have a serious talk with you."

The shopkeeper wasn't exactly good-tempered either, and immediately said coldly.

Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "Fine, I'd like to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."

The shopkeeper said, "You said Liu Bei was known for his benevolence and righteousness?"

"Indeed, Lord Xuande is renowned for his benevolence and righteousness, known throughout the world. Who doesn't know him? What evidence do you have to prove that he is nepotistic, abandons his wife, and is ungrateful?"

Zhao Yun asked.

"What proof do you have? The Mi family, the richest family in Xuzhou, has pledged allegiance to Liu Bei. Are you aware of this?"

The shopkeeper didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"Everyone in the world knows about this, so of course I know it too."

Zhao Yun nodded.

"Alright, then let me ask you, when Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, he only had a few thousand soldiers and no more than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as generals. If it weren't for the help of the Mi family, how could he have taken over Xuzhou with just a few thousand soldiers?"

The shopkeeper said.

Unlike other people.

If it were anyone else, even if they disdained Liu Bei, they would not argue with him to his face.

But this shopkeeper was different, because he was a member of the Mi family.

The Mi family's business spans across the entire country.

They had their own shops and restaurants in almost 80% of the counties and prefectures across the country.

As one of the most prosperous provinces in the land, Ji Province was a prize that the Mi family would never let slip by.

Changshan was not the capital of Jizhou.

However, it is close to Zhongshan.

Zhongshan is the territory of the Zhen family.

Both families were among the four wealthiest families in the Han Dynasty.

Business naturally involves a great deal of trade.

Therefore, the Mi family's shops in Changshan cannot be said to be numerous.

It can only be said that almost one-fifth of the shops and businesses in the entire Changshan County belonged to the Mi family.

And this restaurant is one of them.

This is why the shopkeeper was so indignant.

Their master has suffered such a great injustice.

Naturally, it was out of indignation on behalf of their master.

"good."

Although Zhao Yun had been away from Gongsun Zan for four years, he still knew about such a big event.

Tao Qian declined the governorship of Xuzhou three times.

Liu Bei used the influence of the Mi family to establish himself in Xuzhou.

"Alright, then let me ask you again. Before Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, he was destitute. Without the help of the Mi family, how could he have grown to have nearly 30,000 troops at his peak in just a few years?"

"Was all of his army's food, clothing, lodging, provisions, and weaponry provided by the Mi family?"

The shopkeeper asked again.

"good."

There's not much controversy about that.

Although Liu Bei was a member of the Han imperial family, his lineage had long since declined by his generation.

He was a complete nobody.

Before entering Xuzhou, they were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.

How can one develop influence?

It was all thanks to the support of the Mi family.
