Inside the back house

Ma Yu and Shao, the former Liangzhou Thorn Historian, raised their glasses and drank each other, and they talked happily.

This night, Ma Yu and Chong Shao had a big talk, and when it came to today's general trend, Chong Shao also expressed his views.

In the end, the two agreed that it would be absolutely difficult for a person like Li Dao and Guo Yan to become a thief, and they would definitely be blown away in the dust like a cloud of smoke when the banner of righteousness was raised.

For Ma Yu, tonight's conversation has a sense of pleasure that alcohol is not intoxicating, but people are drunk. It was as if the grand ambition that had been stored in the chest for a long time finally had a way to be realized.

He talked with Chong Shao about how to investigate the rebellion, how to support the Han family, and how to revitalize the Han Dynasty next.

At first, Chong Shao was a little more restrained, chatting with him shallowly, and when the wine was exhausted, he also talked with Ma Yu, leading him to sing to express his inner happiness.

When drinking and meeting confidants, the two of them drank like this, and they didn't have any scruples until the night after when they fell asleep together.

However, when Ma Yu and the others fell asleep, the attendant steward of the Ma Mansion went to the back house worriedly, but quietly became happy. Aside from the people around him, the steward quietly opened the side door of the horse mansion and disappeared into the night.

Following

When Liu Fan was carefully training the guards in the left office as he had done a few days ago, Liu Dan ran over in a hurry.

As soon as he saw his expression, Liu Fan guessed in his heart that something might have happened. Quickly beckoned Xu Huang to continue training, and he led Liu Dan to the cabinet quickly.

While walking, Liu Dan kept muttering, "Woe to you, woe to you!" ”

Glancing at him, Liu Fan was still very cautious to stop him from talking casually, and it was not until he was in the pavilion that he said in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong with Ma Yu?" ”

"Exactly!" Frowning, Liu Dan was very anxious, "As my brother expected, Ma Yu has been indulgent since he got Du Yu's promise, and last night he even led Chong Shenfu into the house and drank and talked with him all night. ”

"But did you leak it?" Liu Fan's face was solemn, and the accident still happened.

Shaking his head worriedly, Liu Dan was extremely distressed, "However, there are no Xiliang soldiers in Ma Yu's mansion today!" ”

"Then why are you in such a hurry?" Hearing this, Liu Fan also looked puzzled.

"Because according to the detailed report, the steward of his house secretly left the house last night!"

Quickly frowning, Liu Fan's expression was slightly abrupt, "Then Ma Yu knows about this?" ”

Shaking his head, Liu Dan looked helpless, "He and Chong Shenfu had a hangover last night, and it is estimated that they are not awake yet." If my brother hadn't told me to keep an eye on him, I might have been negligent. ”

His eyebrows froze, his left hand wrapped around his armpit, and his right hand rubbed his chin, Liu Fan pondered for a moment before he judged: "I'm afraid that the steward went out in the middle of the night to tell the truth, but there is no conclusive evidence, and others will not believe him." ”

Immediately, Liu Fan quickly turned his head to stare at him, "You said earlier that Ma Yu got the edict from His Majesty, but the valuables are in his hands?" ”

His eyes widened, and Liu Dan quickly remembered when he was reminded, "Yes, the edict is in his hand!" ”

"That's right!" Nodding to himself, Liu Fan said directly: "I'm afraid that the steward has betrayed the master, not only wants to bring down Ma Yu, but also wants to put him to death, and then embezzle his family wealth!" ”

Looking at Liu Fan with incredulous round eyes, Liu Dan was a little shocked, "How did my brother know about this?" ”

Glancing at him, "If you look at it too much, you can think of it." Don't talk nonsense with him, Liu Fan said directly and decisively at the moment: "You quickly sent someone to find out the direction of the manager, presumably he is now lurking in Ma Yu's mansion, ready to wait for the opportunity to steal evidence." I'm going to gather my henchmen and go to Ma Yu's Mansion to arrest him! ”

"Brother wants to send Lang to send the guards to Ma Yu's mansion to get people?" Hearing this, Liu Dan was shocked and a little excited.

"Of course not!" Glanced at him, "How can I rest assured that the guards are here and lead the henchmen of the family to go forward." Don't say anything else, go do your thing! ”

Then, after Liu Fan directly explained some things that Liu Dan needed to pay attention to, the two brothers went their separate ways.

In fact, it stands to reason that the three Lang Wei are the most well-equipped, and if they can lead them to arrest the thieves, they must be able to capture them without any worries.

It's just that with his current control over Lang Wei, it is still difficult to guarantee that there will be no leaks.

When he came to the courtyard of the left office, Liu Fan looked at Xu Huang, who was meticulously training the guards, and muttered for a long time, and finally called him aside.

"General Zhonglang!" Bowing down, since Xu Huang agreed to do things for Liu Fan, he was directly appointed as Lang Zhong, in charge of all Lang Wei training matters, which can be regarded as quite important.

Looking at Xu Huang calmly, Liu Fan said steadily: "Gongming, I am going out of the palace now to do a private matter, there is no credible servant around me, I want you to follow me, what do you think?" ”

His expression was quickly solemn, and Xu Huang looked at Liu Fan silently. Obviously, he was a little hesitant, he was not stupid, what he promised Liu Fan before was that when he was the general of Zuo Zhonglang, he would only obey his dispatch. Although he is now, this is beyond his official position, and whether he agrees or not is two words.

In fact, with his background, it is already a great honor to be appreciated by clan nobles like Liu Fan. If it was before, he would definitely throw himself into Liu Fan's command without hesitation. It's just that after Du Yu's incident, he was a little worried after witnessing Liu Fan's calm reaction.

He was worried that Liu Fan's city government might have been related to Du Yu's affairs for a long time, but he didn't say it.

He was of humble stature and did not want to get involved in this dispute. No matter what they are doing, as long as he abides by his duties, it is not surprising that he can still be transferred back to the army after his term of office expires.

But once it involves their affairs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out easily.

Holding the saber at his waist with one hand, he hesitated for a long time, Xu Huang lowered his head, and was about to apologize, but unexpectedly, his eyes fell on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the action of his hand stopped, and Xu Huang was silent.

After a long time, Xu Huang raised his head and looked at Liu Fan, "These days there are many Zhonglang will take care of, a certain deep gratitude, in fact, Huang has always had a question, why Zhonglang will save me that day, and is still willing to break the knot and intersect with me?" ”

Yes, after getting along these days, Xu Huang did not feel Liu Fan's oppression, and basically communicated with gentlemen as agreed that day. Even though Liu Fan's status is very different from him, he is still willing to hand it over.

At the moment, when Xu Huang is just a nobody, to be honest, Xu Huang's untouched must be fake. It's just that he was still panicking because he didn't know the reason for Liu Fan's friendship, and he couldn't convince himself.

A gentle smile appeared on his face, Liu Fan looked at him, smiled sincerely, and said, "Because I want to give you a chance to show yourself!" ”
