Shou County Prison

Fang Hua leaned against the corner of the cell, through the heavy and dirty wooden fence of his head, and quietly glanced at a few black-clothed guards who were chatting in a low voice not far away, and then turned his eyes to his father Fang Lianhai who was sitting quietly in the cell.

"Dad, it's been two hours since we came in, why haven't they moved?"

Fang Lianhai opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the second son lightly, and continued to be silent.

Yesterday, Shou County was broken, and Fang Lianhai, who had been hiding with his family for a long time, saw that the Jin army had just entered the city, because it was too late to control the situation, which led to chaos in the city, and he instantly realized that this was a good time to fish in troubled waters.

So, Fang Lianhai hurriedly took his family to the East City Gate to take advantage of the chaos, found the way he had bought before, and planned to leave Shou County quietly and escape.

Fang Lianhai is a calculating and resourceful person, and the retreat route he has carefully arranged for many days is logically very safe and safe.

In fact, the Fang family's escape operation was indeed smooth at the beginning, but at the most critical moment, there was a mistake.

At the moment before the Fang family left the city, they were unlucky to run into the black-clothed guards patrolling.

Fang Lianhai is cunning and cunning, and he can deal with the black-clothed guard's investigation easily, and his wife Wu is delicate, and she also passed smoothly under the cover of Fang Lianhai.

What people didn't expect was that Lao Tzu was a hero, and he didn't even mix up a female generation of the Wu family, and Fang De Fanghua, the son of Lian Hai, who was cultivated by Lian Hai, accidentally showed his feet because of nervousness.

suddenly aroused the suspicion of the black-clothed guards, causing the Fang family's escape plan to fall short in the end, and the whole family was imprisoned.

After that, Fang Lianhai witnessed the two pit father's sons stage a good show of pouring beans from a bamboo tube in front of his eyes.

The black-clothed guard didn't even use the whip, just a simple scare, Fang De and Fang Hua rushed to get the whole trick.

The softness of the bones and the positive cooperation of the attitude made the black-clothed guards who asked them dumbfounded, and Fang Lianhai, who was the father, was even more ashamed and angry.

Now, Fang Lianhai was furious when he saw these two bastard sons, but he didn't have a seizure due to the environment.

Seeing that the second son was still shamelessly questioning him, Fang Lianhai secretly lucked a few times and ignored him............

……………

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Fang Hua didn't get angry, so he shrunk his neck and came to his eldest brother's side again.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a noise outside, as if someone was coming.

Fang Hua glanced at his eldest brother, and the two brothers had to squeeze to the wooden fence to watch, and saw the black-clothed guards who were chatting just now surrounded by a young man dressed in the eight-rank official robe of the Jin Army and walked over.

"My lord, I am wronged."

When Fang De and Fang Hua saw that an official from the Northern Jin Dynasty had come, they opened their mouths and followed the cry of the prisoners in the prison, and Fang Lianhai, who was sitting behind them, was so angry that his face darkened.

If he can get out, he will have to whip these two shameless bastards to death, so as to save them from insulting the lintel of the Fang family in the future............

The young man who came was Fu Qing sent by Yan Kui, and he looked at the Fang family brothers who were shouting injustice, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Wronged? Could it be that you are not Fang Lianhai and his relatives, and the previous confessions are all false. ”

As soon as Fu Qing's words fell, the faces of several black-clothed guards behind him suddenly became ugly, and their eyes flashed with fierce light, glaring at the Fang family brothers viciously.

The Fang brothers were tried by them before, and the confession had been handed over, but now if the Fang brothers retract their confessions, not to mention anything else, they can't escape with a hat that is ineffective.

The Fang family brothers were forced to look at them like this by the black-clothed guard, and their courage was directly frightened, and they trembled and lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak more.

In the end, Fang Lianhai couldn't stand the pitiful appearance of his sons, and couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to stand up and relieve the Fang brothers.

He got up from the straw-covered ground, took a few steps closer, blocked his two sons behind him, and bent down to arch his hand at Fu Qing, who was wearing a brand-new official uniform: "The sinner Fang Lianhai, I have seen the adult." ”

…………

"Fang Lianhai."

Fu Qing looked Fang Lianhai up and down with interest: "I heard that Li Ji defeated General Fang last time, and he adopted your strategy. ”

Fang Lianhai's body paused slightly, his forehead was sweaty, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "The sinners offended the king and tried to resist for a few days, and they deserved death." ”

Fu Qing smiled, asked people to open the prison door, and walked in by himself, and the black-clothed guard of the organic spirit immediately brought him a stool, and Fu Qing was not polite, and sat down in front of Fang Lianhai.

"Do you know the purpose of this official's visit?"

Fang Lianhai thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I hope the adults will teach you." ”

Fu Qing dusted off his cuffs, looked at the three Fang family father and son who were a little nervous in front of him, and said in a quiet tone.

"This official doesn't have a sloppy eye with you, we all heard about you, and I think you are still quite capable and have a heart of love, so let me take a look at your bottom."

Fang Lianhai's pupils shrank, and a monstrous wave rolled up in his heart, he swallowed and spit, and asked cautiously.

"I don't know what the governor is...... Yan Pingbei? ”

Before Fu Qing could reply, the black-clothed guard next to him sneered: "If it's not our General Yan, you can't even die." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the sinners don't choose what to say, they deserve to die." Fang Lianhai slapped his mouth a few times, looking panicked.

"Alright."

Fu Qing interrupted Fang Lian's self-harm, and said with a slight impatience: "Not long after the army entered the city, this official still has a lot of official business that he hasn't had time to deal with, and he doesn't have time to waste your effort.

Fang Lianhai, if you have real skills, you might as well light up, the official will definitely report truthfully, and then the governor will have a heart of cherishing talents, not to mention anything else, the life of your family is saved.

Of course, if you want to hide it, deliberately hide it, or just be a mediocre talent, there is no real material, then let's not waste time, the official will go back to the director, and your master will continue to wait here for death. ”

…………

It can be seen that Fu Qing's patience with Lianhai is really limited, and he is too lazy to do any more temptation, so he directly went straight to the point and showed his hole cards.

If Fang Lianhai is really talented, then he will definitely seize this opportunity to prove his worth at any cost, get out of prison, and regain his life.

And if Fang Lianhai is a mediocre person, then it is not worth Fu Qing to waste his scheming with him in this dirty, smelly, dim and dark cell.

Cut the Gordian knot.

In Fu Qing's opinion, this is the best way to identify the talents of Fang Lianhai, a death row prisoner.

Fang Lianhai was a little dazed by Fu Qing's words, but he quickly reacted, and his face was overjoyed.

My family is saved!

Thinking of this, Fang Lianhai didn't care about anything else, and bowed directly to Fu Qing: "I...... The sinners have a great deal to face with the governor. ”

Half an hour later, the main hall of the Governor's Mansion

The blood stains left by Li Ji's suicide had been washed away, Yan Kui sat on the main seat, looked at Fang Lianhai who was kneeling in front of him, and said with some curiosity.

"What do you have to say?"

"Back to the Governor."

Fang Lianhai's expression was solemn: "The criminals have an idea, so that the Great Jin can regain the land of the Western Zhou Dynasty." ”

"What?"

Yan Kui was almost choked by spit, he stared at this old man who was dressed in disarray, but his demeanor was unusually calm, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

"Fang Lianhai, do you know what you're talking about? In the Jin and Zhou wars, the two sides invested millions of soldiers and horses, and after a year of fierce fighting, our dynasty only sought to come to Hongyang.

You are a mere rebel staff, and you open your mouth to get half of the land for the Great Jin, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. ”

A smile appeared on Fang Lianhai's face, and his eyes were terrifyingly bright: "The sinners are not crazy, they really have a way, but it depends on whether the governor has the courage to do so." ”

Yan Kui stared at Fang Lianhai deeply for a moment, and the corners of his mouth moved: "Tell me about it." ”

…………

Fang Lianhai raised his head, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing: "The reason why Li Ji dared to rebel was because he had the support of the Western Zhou Dynasty behind him, and the first contact between the Western Zhou Dynasty and Li Ji was Xiao Gui, the chief soldier of Shun'an Mansion.

Li Ji and Xiao Gui were officials in the same office, and they had a good personal relationship, and the Western Zhou Dynasty also relied on Xiao Gui's continuous dissuasion to successfully instigate Li Ji's rebellion.

In the meantime, Xiao Gui exchanged no less than hundreds of letters with Li Ji, most of which were burned by Li Ji after reading them, but a small part was quietly collected by the criminals.

With these letters here, it can be completely confirmed that Li Ji's army was instigated by Xiao Gui and the Western Zhou Dynasty. ”

…………

Yan Kui seemed to understand what Fang Lianhai meant, but he still asked with some surprise: "Even if there are letters from Xiao Gui as proof, it's a big deal that the Western Zhou Dynasty died and didn't admit it, do you think that the Western Zhou Dynasty would give up half of the land because of these letters?" ”

"Letters alone will naturally not make the Western Zhou succumb, but now that the Great Jin Dynasty is in charge, it is completely possible to send an envoy to the Western Zhou to ask for guilt."

Fang Lianhai's eyes were blazing, and he said solemnly: "In the last national war, the Western Zhou Dynasty not only suffered heavy losses in the DPRK and China, but more importantly, the internal contradictions were completely intensified, and the Hou Party, the Royalist Party, and the neutral faction were fighting into a pot of porridge.

At this moment, it is impossible for the Western Zhou Dynasty to dare to start a war with our dynasty, and the envoy of our court took Xiao Gui's letter to ask for the guilt, pointing the finger at Xiao Gui, and asked the Western Zhou Dynasty to hand over him, the culprit who undermined the peace between the two countries. ”

Yan Kui pondered for a moment before he said, "They are likely to promise all kinds of appeasement, and then kick Xiao Gui out as a scapegoat to calm my anger." ”

Fang Lianhai couldn't help but shudder with a smile: "Then if we contact Xiao Gui after the envoy asks for guilt, before Xiao Gui is launched by the Western Zhou Dynasty, and win over with heavy profits, will we be drawn to our side by Xiao Gui, who is so sad by the Western Zhou court."

Xiao Gui is the chief soldier of Shun'an Mansion, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and with his help, it is not difficult to find half of the land. ”

"The matter......... Some take it for granted. ”

Yan Kui rubbed his brows: "Xiao Gui is not a low-level military attaché, he is not easy to woo, not to mention ........."

Glancing at Fang Lianhai, Yan Kui was a little clear: "Besides, the imperial court may not cooperate with this matter, the national war has just ended, the Western Zhou Dynasty does not want to move troops, and our dynasty does not want to make a big move."

This is different from sending me to Hongyang to quell the rebellion, Li Ji and others are civil strife, naturally they must send troops to suppress it in time, and plan for Shun'an, the Western Zhou Dynasty will definitely not give up, and then it will be a big war if it is not good, and the court will not let go of this mouth easily. ”

Fang Lianhai nodded: "The whimsical of the sinners has disappointed the governor. ”

Yan Kui looked at Fang Lianhai, who didn't show any disappointment, shook his head and smiled, and said directly: "You are a sinful body, you are not good to be an official in a short period of time, so you will be a guest in my mansion for the time being." ”

Although Fang Lianhai's plan is a bit unrealistic, it can also be seen that he is bold and dares to plan, and he is a good talent.

Yan Kui's subordinates lack this kind of talent, and if they do, they naturally have to be included in their command.

"The sinners thank the governor for taking them in, and they will be punished with death in the future."

Fang Lianhai knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yan Kui firmly, and then asked Yan Kui to send someone to lead him down to settle down.

…………

After Fang Lianhai left, the Guangshan monk next to him was a little puzzled: "Dudu, this old man's plan is obviously wrong, why did he still keep him." ”

Yan Kui chuckled lightly and retorted: "How do you know that this plan is not right, if you bother to plan, this matter may not be successful, and then you can get half of the land without spending a single soldier, what a monstrous achievement." ”

"Then you just ........."

Guangshan was even more confused, since Fang Lianhai's plan was feasible, why not implement it.

"It's too troublesome, and the success rate is not high, and the most important thing is that this matter has come to pass, and it has nothing to do with me, if it doesn't work, it's going to cause a commotion, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Yan Kui took the initiative to explain, and then said: "In fact, this chicken rib strategy is actually not important, the important thing is that Fang Lianhai showed me his ability through this strategy, proving that he is a talent."

So, his family survived, and I also received an excellent strategist, killing multiple birds with one stone, and getting the best of both worlds. ”

Guangshan scratched his bald head, a little puzzled by Yan Kui's words, and a little suddenly, as if he understood or not, he couldn't help but complain.

"There are so many twists and turns in readers, Fu Qing was like this before, and now this Fang Lianhai is the same, the tricks are all routines, which makes people brain........."
