This second son, who plans to stay in this gang of bandits?

Liu Wei and Ding Wu heard a little clue, and glanced at each other with some hesitation.

I remember that after listening to Zhao Yu's explanation, Liu Wei and Ding Wu also understood that Zhao Yu had to defect to the Ying bandits, but they never expected that the second son did not seem to intend to draw a line with this group of bandits, and seemed to plan to use this group of bandits to achieve the goal of revenge.

With the help of a group of vicious bandits......

I have to say that at this time, Liu Wei and Ding Wu were a little resistant in their hearts.

After all, the existence of bandits is not a good thing for all counties, as the county commander and county lieutenant of Luyang County, they came to this gang of bandits today, it is completely for the sake of the face of this second son of Zhao, if not, waiting for this group of bandits, it must be their Luyang County thief officers and soldiers.

But now, this second son of Zhao hinted at them, hoping that they would turn a blind eye to this gang of bandits, which made Liu Wei and Ding Wu hesitate.

It's no wonder, after all, tolerating adultery is a serious violation of the public office shouldered by Liu Wei and Ding Wu, which is called dereliction of duty without knowing it; Being in the know is called bending the law for personal gain, but it is not a promise that can be made casually.

After thinking for a while, Liu Wei cautiously asked Zhao Yu, "Second son, do you want to ...... Want to take revenge on this bandit? ”

"That's right." Zhao Yu didn't hide it, and nodded truthfully.

Hearing his answer, Liu Wei gently persuaded: "Second son, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter, right?" The noble status of the second son, how can he be in the company of a group of thieves? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yu to respond, he continued: "I don't dare to let the second son believe me, but I don't think the second son has to make this step yet." The second son may not know that the matter of the Xianghou Mansion has now taken some turns. A while ago, an amazing person came to my Luyang County to track down the affairs of the township marquis mansion back then......"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid what Liu Gong is referring to is General Zhang Jing, one of the Five Tigers of the Chen Gate, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Glancing at Ding Wu, who was also surprised, Liu Wei asked puzzledly, "The second son knows?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said calmly: "Ah, I know, and I have fought with that General Zhang a few times......"

『…… The Black Tiger Village plotter that Zhang Jing and Gao Chun said is indeed this second son!"

Ding Wu was greatly surprised.

He had heard Gao Chun talk about it, according to Gao Chun, even Zhang Jing praised the plotter of the Black Tiger Village, and he was surprised at first that there was a wise man who could be equal to Zhang Jing in terms of strategy, and it was not until this moment that he understood that the plotter of the Black Tiger Village was the second son of the Zhao family, Zhao Yu!

From the side, Liu Wei also heard some clues from Zhao Yu's words, but he didn't delve into it, but said with a smile: "Since the second prince knows General Zhang Jing, it is also necessary to explain." …… In the next thought, if the second son has the intention of revenge, he might as well defect to General Zhang Jing. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Liu Wei was puzzled and asked, "I don't understand, what does the second son mean by shaking his head?" ”

Zhao Yu then explained: "As far as I know, that General Zhang Jing was invited by Mao Gong, because that General Zhang Jing's father-in-law, Chen Zhong and Chen Taishi, was the 'Chen Gong' in Mao Gong's mouth back then. …… In other words, even if I don't go to General Zhang, General Zhang will try his best to track down the affairs of my hometown Hou Mansion and find the murderer based on the old friendship between his father-in-law and Mao Gong. On the other hand, if the forces behind that proverb can't even compete with Chen Gong and Zhang Jing, then it's pointless for me to defect to Zhang Jing, isn't it? Even, in the future, he may be constrained by Zhang Jing. In this case, instead of defecting to Zhang Jing, it is better to take a two-pronged approach, if I unfortunately expect that the forces behind Tong Yan can't even compete with Chen Gong and Zhang Jing, at least I can find another way. ”

"......" Liu Wei was speechless.

He had to admit that although the second son in front of him was young, he was far more thoughtful than him.

Of course, Zhao Yu's thoughtfulness is one thing, but not being able to trust others is another.

"It seems that it is impossible to persuade the second son to draw a line with these bandits......

Looking at Zhao Yu's firm gaze, Liu Wei sighed secretly in his heart, and reluctantly squeezed out a little smile and said, "It seems that the second son has already made his own opinion......"

As he spoke, he nodded, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine." ”

Hearing this, not only did Zhao Yu look at Liu Wei with a little surprise, but Ding Wu's face changed slightly, and he whispered incredulously: "Gong Liu, you ......"

Obviously, both of them understood what Liu Wei's sentence of 'okay' meant.

Raising his hand to interrupt Ding Wu's words, Liu Wei said with a bit of self-deprecation: "I could have agreed to the request of the Tong Yan with a clear conscience, why can't I agree to the request of the second son today?" ”

Ding Wu opened his mouth, and what he wanted to say finally turned into a sigh.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, after all, he thought that it would take some effort and tricks to force Liu Wei to agree to his request, but he didn't expect Liu Wei to agree so easily.

He knew that this Liu County Commander wanted to 'atone for his sins', so he did not hesitate to risk his career, knowing that once it was verified that the county magistrate colluded with thieves, Liu Xian's career in this life would be completely buried.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu arched his hand and said, "Thank you Liu Gong......"

Liu Wei waved his hand and said with a little melancholy: "The second son doesn't need it, but I hope that the second son will restrain his subordinates, don't ...... Don't ......"

Although he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Yu could still understand the meaning, and said with a smile: "Liu Gong, rest assured, Luyang is my hometown, how can I allow anyone to come to Luyang Hu?" ”

Hearing this promise, Liu Wei and Ding Wu nodded, and their hanging minds relaxed a little.

At this time, Jingnu had already instructed the room to prepare some wine and food.

I don't know if it was because Liu Wei and Ding Wu agreed to Zhao Yu's request, so that Zhao Yu's attitude towards the two of them regained a little closeness in addition to respect, so that in the next conversation, the atmosphere in the room gradually improved.

Subsequently, when Zhao Yu, Jingnu, Niu Heng, Liu Wei, and Ding Wu were eating and drinking, Liu Wei opened his mouth and asked Zhao Yu: "For the future, what are the specific plans for the second son?" ”

Zhao Yu knew that Liu Wei must still have some suspicions - of course, these suspicions were naturally not aimed at him, but at the group of Ying thieves under him.

In order to dispel the suspicions of Liu Wei and Ding Wu, Zhao Yu slightly revealed some of his thoughts: "Wait until next year, I will lead everyone back to Kunyang, and then I will find a way to establish a good relationship with the local county government." In the meantime, I will also make some changes to the people under me, and if I can, I won't rob if I can......"

Hearing this, Liu Jian and Ding Wu were secretly surprised, but they didn't doubt Zhao Yu's words, after all, this second son had done something that many adults couldn't do.

Removing Niu Heng, who was drinking in a muffled voice, and then removing the quiet girl who was listening quietly, Zhao Yu chatted with Liu Wei and Ding Wu for more than two hours, and Liu Wei and Ding Wu said goodbye.

At this time, Chen Mo also brought Ding Lu and Zu Xing, who were drinking and their faces were flushed, and immediately sent these four people down the mountain together with Zhao Yu.

Watching Ding Lu and Liu Ji slowly leave in the donkey cart they came, Chen Mo couldn't help but ask Zhao Yu, "How is the talk?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "It seems that those two still have a bit of old affection for my family...... As long as we don't make a mistake out of the ordinary, they should cover it up for us. ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked incredulous.

Who would have thought that the county commander and county lieutenant of a county would be willing to cover up for a gang of bandits.

However, when he thought that this was the face of the Hou family in Luyang Township, Chen Mo was also relieved.

"Among the nobles I have seen, the Zhao family can indeed be called a rare village sage." He nodded slightly.

"Huh?"

Zhao Yu glanced at Chen Mo strangely, and said tentatively: "Has the second village master dealt with my family?" ”

Chen Mo smiled faintly, and it could be seen that he was reluctant to mention it.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu didn't want to ask any more questions, so he took Chen Mo, Niu Heng, and Jingnu back to the mountain village.

In the evening, Guo Da came to Zhao Yu's house and asked Zhao Yu about the results of Zhao Yu's meeting with Liu Wei and Ding Wu today.

Of course, Zhao Yu would not hide anything, and said truthfully: "Liu Gong agreed, according to my guess, there should be no fraud." ”

Hearing this, Guo Da was surprised and delighted.

Obviously, he also understands that the gang wants to hide in Luyang County, and the attitude of the Luyang County Ya is the key, and the county commander Liu Wei and the county lieutenant Ding Wu are obviously the key to the key.

Rejoicing, he smiled and said, "Then I don't need to hide the grain in the mountains, right?" ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "To plan for the worst, let's hide some food in the mountains." ”

"Okay." Guo Da nodded.

Although it is not known whether the promises of Liu Wei and Ding Wu are credible for the time being, it can be regarded as a solution to the matter.

The next day, Zhao Yu took Jingnu and Niu Heng to the former site of his Luyang Township Hou Mansion.

The familiar home is now in ruins.

And in this ruin, Zhao Yu and Jingnu found the grave of the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife.

This tomb was set up by the Luyang County Yadai after the initial haunting incident in this area of ruins, but in fact this is just an empty mound, because according to local rumors, the remains of the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife and the old housekeeper Cao Ju have been burned in the fire in the Township Mansion.

The remaining 200 people in the house were buried in a large tomb not far away by the Yachu of Luyang County - this is probably a big reason why the locals think this place is haunted.

In front of the cemetery of the Marquis and his wife in Luyang, Zhao Yu and Jingnu lit incense and offered the fruits and vegetables they brought as offerings.

Immediately, Jingnu cried and cried.

Compared with Jing Nu, Zhao Yu is much calmer, although she feels stuffy in her chest, she can still restrain her emotions.

"Father, mother, don't think that the child is not filial, after more than two years to return to Luyang to worship, in these two years, the child has not forgotten the disaster of the day, under the planning of two years, the child has recovered a group of bandits as a force, took the first step of revenge, he day, the child will bring the head of the enemy, comfort your spirit in the sky."

Looking at the tombstone, Zhao Yu meditated in his heart.
