Chapter 23: Liu Bo's Anger

Chen Tang fell on the steps, holding the steps with both hands, and his legs kept moving backwards.

Wang Wu knew that he had been tricked, but he didn't understand, the person in front of him was obviously strong in martial arts, and he avoided his fatal blow, why did he pretend that he didn't know martial arts, the incident happened suddenly, he didn't have time to think about it, and he missed the blow, so he took advantage of the turmoil to escape.

At this time, the guards of the Marquis of Bianqiu Mansion reacted, some were protecting Chen Tang's body, and some were about to hunt down Wang Wu.

"Poor Kou Mo chases, be careful of the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Chen Tang, who was supported by the two guards, waved his hand and said, "I will report to the Hou Ye in advance, and then make a decision." ”

The guards felt that there was some reason, so they carried Chen Tang in and told Liu Bo about it.

At this time, Liu Bo was talking to Steward Liu about something.

Liu Bo was half-lying and asked, "Hou Xiang was shot and killed, but who is there evidence?"

The Hou Xiang in Liu Bo's mouth, that is, the county commander Li Diancheng, is a different expression of official positions.

Liu Bo, as the Marquis of Bianqiu, the entire Bianqiu County is his fiefdom, but he only has the benefits of eating the fief and paying taxes, but has no right to govern the people.

The county order is an official appointed by the central government, in addition to governing the people, there is also the obligation to monitor the movements of the prince for the central government, so this kind of county order is often called the prince.

"It is said that the scene was chaotic at that time, and I don't know who killed it...... "Steward Liu shook his head and said: "But there are rumors: it is said that in the process of chasing and killing the Jiang family, Hou Xiang was killed by mistake......"

"However, it was quickly denied by Wu You, and they posted an announcement saying that Hou Xiang was killed by Qiu Shan thieves pretending to be the Ding family."

"Later, Ding Shan also came out to explain to the people that this matter was definitely not done by their Ding family, and then they also sent guards to assist the government in jointly arresting Wang Mazi."

Liu Bo laughed all his life: "No matter who killed the Hou Xiang, it has nothing to do with us anyway, we just sit and watch the play, and then write to the court for the Hou Ye, just say that the Hou Xiang was assassinated, and let them send a Hou Xiang to the Hou Ye to manage the people for the Hou Ye." ”

Steward Liu said: "The villain understands, so let's arrange it." ”

"Master Hou, it's not big, there were gangsters who assassinated Lord Chen just now......" At this moment, a guard outside the door came to report.

Liu Bo was slightly stunned and said, "The murderer can be caught."

The guard replied: "No, the gangster is very cunning, and when he misses the blow, he escapes, and we are afraid that there will be a conspiracy, so we do not chase after him."

Liu Bo stood up and said with a headache: "Why did this muddy water even reach our Hou Mansion, what was the situation at that time?" ”

The guards didn't dare to hide it, and explained truthfully: "In general, we don't know, we only know that a strangely dressed person came to look for Lord Chen, and then after Lord Chen came out, the villain knelt and worshipped, and they didn't hear what the villain said between them, and then they saw him assassinate Lord Chen......"

"Come to him and assassinate him...... There must be something strange about this. Liu Bo wandered around, touched his beard and said, "Go...... Find him, and ask him face to face. ”

The guard brought Chen Tang over, and when Chen Tang saw Liu Bo for the first time, his first impression was that he was fat, like a huge mountain, and hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "The villain has seen Master Hou......"

"Who is he? Why did I kill you? Liu Bo asked directly.

Chen Tang showed an innocent expression and said in a low voice: "Master Hou Ming checked, the villain first came here, and he didn't know this person. ”

"I also heard Steward Liu say that someone was looking for me, I was still confused, so I went out to meet curiously, which one of these villains knelt and worshiped after seeing me, I think this person kicked him inexplicably, how do I know that he has a grudge, and actually stabbed me with a dagger, fortunately I escaped with a quick response."

Liu Bo had a fat face, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "That's it, what did you say between you and him?" ”

Chen Tang said innocently: "The villain doesn't know him, he just hugged my thigh, the villain is also very helpless, just let him go, he didn't listen to what he said, didn't he kick him, he actually wanted to kill me, who did the villain reason with!! ”

"If Master Hou doesn't believe it, you can ask the guards who were present at the time, the villain hasn't come to his senses until now, why did this happen for no reason."

Liu Bo turned his head to stare at the guard, the guard felt pressured, and nodded: "What Master Chen said is not bad, but the content of the conversation between them was not heard by his subordinates."

Chen Tang interrupted him and asked, "This guard brother, I have never known this person in my life, and I don't believe that he knows my name and official position, so why are you sure that she is here to find me?"

The guard's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "That person said that your lordship has too much money for the hotel where you live, and you want to come and return the money to the adult, I saw that the person he described was an adult, so I went in to report it and passed the matter to the housekeeper." ”

Chen Tang became interested and asked, "Then how did he describe me, you are so arbitrary that it is me."

The guard said: "Riding on a white horse, richly dressed, with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, more than eight feet tall, and a majestic appearance. ”

"When the villain hears it, isn't it you, Lord Chen?"

Chen Tang laughed and said, "This is the truth. ”

"But I've only heard of people who have gone thousands of miles to collect debts, and they haven't sent money to the door, and when they encounter this kind of thing in the future, they must take more precautions, and don't let the gangsters get through the trick again." Chen Tang criticized.

The guard lowered his head in shame, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "The villain must remember the teachings of the adults. ”

Liu Bo frowned and said, "Then what does this gangster mean, he came to my house to make trouble for no reason." ”

Chen Tang took the opportunity to say: "If the villain's guess is correct, someone must be trying to pull Hou Ye into the quagmire so that Hou Ye can't stay out." ”

"Who's that?" Liu Bo said in surprise.

Chen Tang smiled faintly: "Since this person has already acted, there will definitely be a continuation arrangement, Hou Ye only needs to wait, naturally someone will jump out, it is not clear at that time." ”

"Well, that's good...... Liu Bo nodded in agreement: "Ben Hou Ye wants to see which one is the ghost, and hit the idea on Ben Houye's head."

As he spoke, he commanded: "Steward Liu, you immediately arrange for strict defense, and don't let the thieves take advantage of it."

Steward Liu said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the villain will arrange it."

Liu Bo smashed the table with a fist, and laughed coldly: "This Hou Ye is not powerful, if this Hou Ye is a sick cat, no matter who it is this time, this Hou Ye wants him to disappear in Bianqiu County, and I want those who have two hearts to see, who ......is talking about Bianqiu County."
