Yuan Tan seemed to feel that he had misheard, and asked a little eagerly: "Ma Liu, you said that you met the eldest lady of the Zhen family, is this true?"

No wonder Yuan Tan is in such a hurry, he has been tracking the whereabouts of the daughters of the Zhen family for a long time. However, there has been no news for so long. Yuan Tan arranged under Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, and there was no sign of the Zhen family's daughters contacting their two brothers. At the beginning, Yuan Tan was afraid that the women of the Zhen family would know about this operation because he had instructed it. However, after a long time, the women of the Zhen family have no voice, and it is obvious that he has not been exposed. And the daughters of the Zhen family may have hid because they were afraid.

Since Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, Yuan Tan also let his subordinates search in Jizhou counties. However, because the daughters of the Zhen family basically stayed in the residence and rarely showed up, the subordinates sent by Yuan Tan to Dongping County did not see the daughters of the Zhen family. Therefore, Yuan Tan thought that the daughters of the Zhen family had left Jizhou.

The first time Yuan Tan met Zhen Jiang was because Zhen Yan held a banquet. When he saw Zhen Jiang for the first time, Yuan Tan was shocked, and at the same time, the Zhen family in Wuji County was also not a weak family in Jizhou, so Yuan Tan made up his mind to chase Zhen Jiang into his hands.

Since that time, Yuan Tan has been visiting Zhen's house from time to time, and his purpose has been revealed. In fact, Zhang's impression of Yuan Tan is still good, the Yuan family, who was born in the fourth generation and the third duke, is also a talent. Therefore, the Zhang family has actually secretly recognized Yuan Tan as Zhen Jiang's husband.

However, Zhen Jiang doesn't seem to have a good impression of Yuan Tan. Every time I saw Yuan Tan, I just said hello politely, and then there was no follow-up.

Yuan Tan didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, if he asked Yuan Shao to come to the door to propose, his parents' orders would be matchmakers, and Zhen Jiang would not object if he wanted to come. However, Yuan Tan wanted to make Zhen Jiang like him, and then come to the door to propose. After it had no effect, Yuan Tan decided to go sideways and act in a play. Let his subordinates pretend to be thieves to rob the Zhen family, while he plays the role of a prince who falls from the sky, a hero to save the beauty. Yuan Tan believes that after such a play, it is impossible for Zhen Jiang not to have a good impression of him.

Originally, this qiē was planned very properly, and Yuan Tan had already imagined the picture of himself holding a beauty. And in history, Yuan Tan seems to have succeeded and married Zhen Jiang.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. Yuan Chang crossed over, and passed by the Zhen family's village, and saved the daughters of the Zhen family. The qiē made by Yuan Tan became Yuan Chang's dowry, and Zhen Jiang finally lay on Yuan Chang's bed. Speaking of which, Yuan Chang was able to hug the beauty, and he really had to thank Yuan Tan, the nominal nephew.

Ma Liu nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said affirmatively: "Beat the son, give the villain a few guts, and don't dare to deceive the eldest son! The villain promises that the woman is definitely the eldest lady of the Zhen family." ”

Ma Liu, as Yuan Tan's loyal horse, naturally knows what his son-in-law thinks. Therefore, after repeatedly confirming that the woman was Zhen Jiang, he immediately came to Yuan Tan to report. He believed that after this incident, Yuan Tan would definitely use him more, and his bright future was just around the corner.

"Hmm!"

Yuan Tan also knew that Ma Liu didn't dare to lie to himself, so he nodded, but didn't say anything. After walking back and forth in the house a few times, he suddenly stopped and commanded the door.

"Someone, go and investigate for Ben Gongzi. ”

As Yuan Shao's eldest son and future heir to Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan naturally has many people following him. And Yuan Tan also has his own cronies. Although Ma Liu said it was very sure, Yuan Tan still had to investigate and confirm it before making a decision.

In about half an hour or so, Yuan Tan's cronies had already returned.

"Childe, that woman is indeed the eldest lady of the Zhen family, but..."

As Yuan Tan's cronies, when Yuan Tan went to Zhen's house before, he naturally saw Zhen Jiang's face. Moreover, Zhen Jiang may also be the future housewife, so they naturally have to keep it in their hearts at all times.

Yuan Tan listened to the words of his cronies, and his face suddenly flashed with joy. However, before he could laugh, he heard the hesitant tone of his cronies, and his smile suddenly froze, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"But what? If you have something to say, it's all your own people here, and there's nothing you can't say. ”

Although Yuan Tan was dissatisfied with the cronies' expression, he did not blame him too much. And when he said this, it made Ma Liu and the cronies present excited. Yuan Tan's words show that he trusts the two of them and treats them as his own.

"Yes, Childe!"

The cronies responded excitedly, and then explained: "Childe, my subordinates have checked, and the eldest lady of the Zhen family came to Nanpi with a group of people. And the man who was the leader also knew him, and he was the fourth uncle of the son. ”

Yuan Fengsheng had four sons, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Chang, so it is not wrong for Yuan Chang to say that he is Yuan Tan's fourth uncle. However, from the perspective of the Yuan family, there are also Yuan Yi and Yuan Yin. Yuan Ji is the longest, followed by Yuan Yi, followed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yin and Yuan Chang. According to this generation, it is okay to call Yuan Chang the sixth uncle.

"How could the fourth uncle be with them? Could it be that they met on the road?"

Listening to the words of his cronies, Yuan Tan was puzzled. Yuan Chang came to take over Bohai County, and Zhen Jiang and the others returned to Yecheng, and it was not impossible to meet Yuan Chang on the way. If it was Yuan Chang who intercepted Zhen Jiang at the beginning, it stands to reason that his subordinates should be able to detect it.

In this way, after Yuan Tan's analysis, he felt that Yuan Chang should have met Zhen Jiang on the road.

Now that it has been determined that Zhen Jiang is undoubted, Yuan Tan also made a decision, and immediately ordered: "Ma Liu, you have done a good job in this matter, and you will go to the treasury to receive a hundred taels of gold later, as long as there is merit, this son will not hesitate to reward." Chen Cheng, you immediately arrange for the guards, and this son will go to see the fourth uncle. ”

said that he was seeing Yuan Chang, but Yuan Tan's purpose was Zhen Jiang, and Ma Liu and Chen Cheng both understood.

"Yes, Childe!"

Yuan Tan rode his horse, and there were eight guards on the front and back to protect the road. Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son, and he is also the Taishou of Bohai County, so his protection is naturally not weak.

But he said that Yuan Chang was at the place where he stayed, and he was a little tired after a day's journey, but he was ready to rest. However, suddenly, when he heard that Zhao Yun reported that Yuan Tan wanted to see him, Yuan Chang suddenly had doubts in his heart. He didn't have anything to do with Yuan Tan, and he didn't publicize it when he came to Nanpi this time, how could Yuan Tan find him? Even if he wanted to talk about the handover, he could do it during the day, why should he do it at night?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Yuan Tan came, and Yuan Chang still wanted to meet him.

"Xiansi, visiting late at night, I don't know what happened?"

Although he was Yuan Tan's nominal uncle, Yuan Chang did not put on any show. After all, Yuan Chang plays a sycophant, and now he is still working under Yuan Shao, and it is indispensable to greet him with a smile when he sees his boss's son-in-law arrive.

When the nephew heard that the fourth uncle was coming, he couldn't greet him, and he was ashamed in his heart, so he came to see the fourth uncle. ”

Although Yuan Tan doesn't want to see Yuan Chang in front of him, he still has to do a face project.

Yuan Chang sneered in his heart, he was so familiar with Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan would come to see him, obviously for another purpose. Could it be that he was here to win over himself? Yuan Changke remembered that because Yuan Shao favored his third son, Yuan Shang was so much so that after Yuan Shao's death, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought, so that Cao Cao took Yuan Shao's territory without much effort. I have to say that Yuan Shao is a cup, and he worked hard to win the territory, but he was defeated by his two sons in this way.

It's just that Yuan Tan should also know that he doesn't have any right to speak, and it seems a little unreasonable to win him over? After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Chang didn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to. He believed that Yuan Tan would come to the door and sooner or later he would tell his purpose.

"Where, where! Xian thought that you could come to visit the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle was very happy in his heart. We also don't talk standing up, drink some hot wine to warm up. ”

At that moment, Yuan Chang invited Yuan Tan to the living room, asked Zhao Yunhot to bring a pot of wine, and the two sat down in a priority manner.

No matter how much he looks down on Yuan Chang, he is also an uncle, and Yuan Tan will naturally not sit on the throne. Yuan Chang is not hypocritical, after the two of them sit down, they chat casually, Yuan Chang is not in a hurry, Yuan Tan is willing to spend like this, he accompanies him, see who can't help it first.

Sure enough, after talking for a while, Yuan Tan didn't seem to be interested, and finally said the purpose of his visit this time.

"Fourth uncle, my nephew heard a report from his subordinates before, saying that the people of the Zhen family in Wuji County were with the fourth uncle, I wonder how the fourth uncle could be with them?"

Hearing this, Yuan Chang immediately understood Yuan Tan's purpose.

Yuan Tan was not surprised when he found out about the daughters of the Zhen family, it was also a matter of time or time. Since the daughters of the Zhen family chose to go to Yecheng, sooner or later they would be discovered by Yuan Tan. Moreover, Nanpi is now Yuan Tan's territory, and it is normal for Yuan Tan's subordinates to see it.

Yuan Chang sighed and said slowly: "Xiansi, this matter is a long story. When the fourth uncle passed through the suburbs of Wuji County, he heard the sound of shouting and killing, looked for the sound, and found that there were thieves killing innocents. Therefore, he asked the guards to rescue them, and then learned that they were from the Zhen family in Wuji County. Subsequently, I left a few living mouths and interrogated them, only to find out that there was someone behind the scenes, so they dared to act so boldly. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Chang deliberately stopped, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

And Yuan Tan listened to Yuan Chang's words, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the hands on his thighs clenched involuntarily, for fear that Yuan Chang would say his name the next moment. Perhaps it was the reason for being a thief, Yuan Tan felt that the smile on Yuan Chang's face at this moment seemed to have a deep meaning.

"Knock!"

Yuan Chang gently put down the wine glass, and listened to Yuan Tan's ears, as if a thousand catties of giant hammer had hit him, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"After some interrogation by me, those thieves finally recruited the person behind the scenes, and he is..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Chang deliberately lengthened his voice again. And Yuan Tan only felt that the whole world was quiet, his heart was in his throat, and his eyes were staring straight at Yuan Chang, waiting for Yuan Chang's next words.
