Chapter 160: Flickering (2)

Liu Youfu can still think about something to some extent, knowing the truth that wealth is not exposed, he did not take these silver taels and meat buns and went home directly, but buried the silver taels under the stone tablet of his ancestral tomb, and the meat buns asked his wife and children to call them to the camp to eat some, and then brought the rest home.

In order to prevent his wife, a long-tongued woman, from showing off indiscriminately after knowing about it, and her son not being mature enough to boast about it, the fifty taels of silver were not mentioned a word.

These twenty or so meat buns have already made the eyes of his wife and son glow green, as if if he didn't give them two today, he would find Liu Youfu desperately.

The matter of fifty taels of silver was not said, Liu Youfu felt a little guilty in his heart, and this time it was his turn to be generous: when he went home at night, he could eat one meat bun, and the next day he could eat two meat buns.

His wife and son are surprised by Liu Youfu's generosity, but their thinking has been dominated by meat buns, and they will talk about it after eating, as for why they are generous, they don't care.

Knowing that it was Shi Bin who gave these benefits, they naturally asked Liu Youfu to take refuge in Shi Bin. Liu Youfu also said this, so that the whole family was beaming.

After the matter was dealt with, Liu Youfu immediately went to the house of Cheng Changyu in Dingzhou to report the situation, and it was easy for him to be suspicious if he went late.

In fact, when he walked to the door of Chengfu, Liu Youfu was not calm in his heart, he was both excited and apprehensive, after all, he was such a small person to do intelligence work, and the pressure was really not small.

When he went to Cheng Changyu's study, Liu Youfu was not so much walking over as moving over, thinking about how to deal with the questions raised by Cheng Changyu, and he had to make a draft in his heart.

After coming up with an approximation, he entered Cheng Changyu's study in a bit of a daze, but fortunately, Cheng Changyu likes to light incense, so stimulated, Liu Youfu immediately came back to his senses.

"Master Cheng, the villain is back."

"Well, tell me how Shi Bin's army is, the more carefully the better." Cheng Changyu said weakly. At this time, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was sitting on a mahogany chair, looking like he was about to die, looking more like a sick man with little time than a prefect who governed one side.

"Yes, sir. That Lord Shi's army is indeed not bad, it seems that Liu Zhizhou did not lie to you. But one thing must be exaggerated, there should not be so many firearms in his troops, not so powerful. Liu Youfu replied solemnly.

After listening to Liu Youfu's report, Cheng Changyu didn't make any response, but closed his eyes tightly, sat up straight, and propped his head with his hands, as if he was thinking.

At first, Liu Youfu didn't understand the meaning, but as a small cloth cloth, he didn't dare to urge Cheng Changyu, so he had to stand in the hall, not daring to make a sound or move.

After a while, Cheng Changyu finally spoke: "I remember that you went out with Shi Bin in the afternoon, why did you come to me at this time?" ”

Fortunately, Liu Youfu thought of this, he didn't panic, and replied: "Back to my lord, Lord Shi hopes that the villain will do his best to do his job as a guide, so he will leave the villain for a meal." ”

"Just a meal? I heard that Shi Tong sentenced Aimin as a son, he shouldn't just give you a few steamed buns..." Cheng Changyu said with a gloomy face.

"No, no, no, of course not. As the adult said, Lord Shi gave the villain fifteen taels of silver, saying that it was a labor fee for the villain. Liu Youfu pretended to tremble and said.

The figure of fifteen taels can also be regarded as a gamble for Liu Youfu, because if he helps Cheng Changyu do such a thing, he will get a maximum of five taels of silver, since he knows that Shi Bin is generous, then simply say fifteen taels, it is estimated that this can eliminate his suspicions. However, it still depends on Cheng Changyu's judgment, if there are too many, it will backfire.

"Fifteen taels? That's enough, haha! I don't think you're just asking you to do this well, you should have some other ideas, right? Cheng Changyu said viciously.

Liu Youfu was already drenched and sweating, if Cheng Changyu was so suspicious, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to bear it again.

Maybe it was too much pressure, which actually made him suddenly have a hurry, and immediately knelt down with a crying voice and said: "My lord, Shi Tongju really wants to win me over, but the villain doesn't dare to betray you, my family is in Dingzhou, even if I eat leopard gall, I don't dare!" And from his tone, he just thought that I could help him get a few more stones of grain and grass, he was also the first thing to be ordered by Xiangtan County, and the rest of the villains couldn't think of it if they didn't know enough. ”

Although this made Cheng Changyu look down on Liu Youfu very much, it allowed him to eliminate his suspicions about Liu Youfu. He himself couldn't think of what Shi Bin could do when he came to Dingzhou except for a few stones, grain and grass, no one would think that he, the son-in-law of Jia Nidao, would rebel and want to seize his Dingzhou, even if someone put forward this point of view, others would be regarded as crazy.

This time, Cheng Changyu nodded approvingly, seemed to be satisfied with Liu Youfu's answer, and said with a smile: "Yes, you are quite smart and know what to do and what not to do." In this way, you can observe how Shi Bin led the troops, how much grain and grass he used, and whether those chaotic people were really exterminated by him. If you do well there will be a reward, this time for the sake of you being willing to tell the truth, you will not be punished, let's go! ”

Walking out of Cheng's Mansion like walking on thin ice, Liu Youfu was full of anger and had nowhere to release, and scolded Cheng Changyu in his heart for being too powerful and stingy, and was glad that he had passed this level.

However, there was a problem that made him embarrassed: in order to save his life, he told Cheng Changyu that Shi Bin wanted to give him a few more stones.

All the way home, his mind was almost a mush, and he was very contradictory. Of course, he can't betray Shi Bin, but he has already leaked some secrets, although it is not very important, it is also untrustworthy.

Early the next morning, Xu Feng appeared at the door of his house in civilian clothes, and when he saw Xu Feng, Liu Youfu was struck by lightning, and he had the urge to run away. It's just that there are still some basic principles of being a man in his heart, so he has a foothold, but his face is as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Liu Youfu comes with me, my lord wants to see you." Xu Feng said calmly.

Out of the village, I saw Shi Bin in the pine forest. At this time, Liu Youfu's legs trembled, and although he didn't kneel, he couldn't walk anymore.

"Blessed, tell me about meeting Cheng Changyu, talk about it well." Shi Bin smiled at him.

"My lord, I, I..."

"Why are you stumbling like this, have you done something unseemly? If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, let it go. Adults are not the kind of people with small bellies, just say it as it is. Xu Feng said viciously.

Shi Bin didn't like Xu Feng to be so irritable, so he immediately glared at him and stopped him, and said: "Youfu said it well, I know that Cheng Changyu is definitely not so easy to be fooled, even if you tell him all, it's fine, it's not a big deal." ”

It's all like this, and it's not a big deal? Liu Youfu didn't believe it even if he was killed, but these words still made him no longer so nervous, and finally decided to say everything, which can be regarded as atonement.

As soon as Xu Feng heard that Liu Youfu actually told Cheng Changyu that Shi Bin wanted to get more grain and grass, he kicked it without saying a word, and was about to come to a full martial arts trip and was stopped by Shi Bin.

This can make Xu Feng very unconvinced, where is there anyone who betrays his master and is not punished? But there was no way to be held tightly by Shi Bin, so he just waited for Shi Bin to let go and start again.

"Blessed are you, you're doing well. I thought you would tell me all about my plan to drive out the rebellious people, but I didn't expect you to just say more food and grass, and I want to thank you. Maybe you don't understand, then I'll tell you why. That Cheng Changyu is also the prefect, isn't there any resourcefulness? If you don't say anything at all, you're really not helping the official. I'll apologize to you for Xu Feng's reckless man. Shi Bin said while helping Liu Youfu up from the ground.

Thank you? Apologize to Xu Feng for him? Of course, this surprised Liu Youfu and almost wanted to kneel, but this truth does make sense, so he stood on his feet with difficulty.

Xu Feng, who was angry on the side, also lost his anger after hearing this, but he still didn't want to pay attention to Liu Youfu.

"Blessed, in fact, the official is not thoughtful, you can say this. As long as I don't say that I want to set up a mountain here, it's enough, and the other things will be handled by the official. ”

Such a call can be regarded as a complete relief for Liu Youfu, and when he understands Shi Bin's bottom line, it will be easier to do things.

So he immediately thanked Shi Bin for his generosity, and definitely followed Shi Bin's instructions to help him gain a foothold in Dingzhou.
