Although about that silver. It really took Zhang Fan and them a while. And in the end, it was because of some trickery used by the other party. Here's how to find a way to deal with it. Merely. This matter made Zhang Fan and them worry for a while. But actually. The impact of this matter. It's not that big.

At the very least. Although there are people on both sides. Now they are all circling around this money. That is, Zhang Fan and those big families in the city headed by Ding Youyang. But actually. These people all add up. It's just a decimal. And the real people are the most. For example, the people in the city. Speaking of which, their money was also in that money. But these people. But now there is no fuss about the money.

Maybe. It's also because now they've just answered home. And each of them had a lot of food. For a moment they forgot about the silver. But. It doesn't matter if they've forgotten it. I'll have to think about it later. Anyway now. The people were divided. No one has done anything about it. That's a good thing. At this time. For Zhang Fan. One less hassle. That's for the best.

Although said. The silver thing. Zhang Fan has already figured out how to deal with it. But now is not the time to talk about these things. Now. There is something else to do. That's about the post-insurgency check. When the time comes. I'm afraid that even if there is some edict from the imperial court. It is also going to be handed over to Zhang Fan. After all, he is definitely the best person to do this. I don't think about it as a second person. Plus, it's just been over, and it's not long since it's over. Strike while the iron is hot. Naturally, it's best to investigate right away.

Merely. Doubts in this matter. It's just too much. There are a lot of things that people can't figure out for a while. In addition, Zhang Fan is also a newcomer. Even if you know something about Yongning Mansion. But it's really one-sided. This does not lead to conclusions.

And after contact with Mao Zhengqing. Zhang Fan can be regarded as having some understanding of this matter. But where this understanding comes from. But it comes from someone else's mouth. Therefore it is not entirely credible. And Zhang Fan really wants to make a judgment. You still have to see the immutable facts with your own eyes.

So. After he got some news from Mao Zhengqing. immediately ordered Liang Chao to investigate. Person. They are able to lie and deceive people. Maybe some people are really bad at lying. People can see through it at a glance. But no one can guarantee that they are 100% sure of this.

However. People can lie though. But the black and white dossier will not. As long as Jin Yiwei can find the information of the person concerned. Zhang Fan can have an understanding. And for Jin Yiwei. Surveillance of officials. No effort has been spared. So. Just see those things. Whoever is loyal is treacherous. You can tell at a glance.

And now. Zhang Fan is also waiting for this.

Maybe it's because Zhang Fan told Liang Chao to investigate. Uncharacteristically admonished him. asked him to investigate Mao Zhengqing's affairs. There must be no omission. This time. Liang Chao went a little old. But there was no news. But Zhang Fan is not in a hurry about this. He would rather wait an hour, a half-day, or even a day. As long as Liang Chao can take something detailed. It's well worth the time.

So. This time. Zhang Fan was concerned about another matter.

Morning. Zhang Fan found Liu Xian, who had just had breakfast: "General Liu." ”

"Master Zhang." I saw Zhang Fan coming. Liu Xian was a little happy. "Come to me so early today. I don't know what's going on. ”

"There's something. I want to ask the general. Zhang Fan is not polite. Say it directly. "Those two outsiders. What is the situation now? ”

"That's a coincidence." Liu Xian heard Zhang Fan mention this matter. Said with a smile. "This morning. Somebody came and told me about the situation over there. 20,000 is not a small number. And now they can't be put back. But there is not such a big place to lock them up. I could only find a place to the west of the Sichuan Xingdu Division. Surround them there.

"It's just that yesterday I had a troublesome thing. At the beginning, we also said that we would surround these people first. They can't be let go. But realized. We really didn't expect that much. And then that's where the trouble comes in. When these 20,000 people left Yongning Mansion. I didn't have any food with me. After all, they came out to surrender. What else to bring. But all of a sudden. We're in big trouble here. They had no food. Locked up by us again. Then we'll have to take care of their meals. You can't watch them starve to death. But I'm here for a while. But there was no way to get food. This is here in Yongning Mansion. Although there is grain in the storehouse. But after what happened last time. I'm afraid it's not something that can be moved lightly now. Over there. There is also grain. But it was Shu army rations. Although I can move it. But I don't want to tune it.

"That's why I sent people to U Meng yesterday. I asked for a lot of food. But it was shipped. I'm afraid it will take a few more days. It's going to be hard these days. Those people can't afford not to eat or drink. ”

"Then how did General Liu finally solve this matter?" Zhang Fan asked. What Liu Xian said. It's a question. If not, it will be solved. I'm afraid that even if the weapon is taken away. But those people probably have to make a fuss, too. This matter must be resolved.

"Solved is solved. But it's not because of me. Liu Xian smiled. Said. "I just got the news here late last night. At that time, Mr. Zhang had already fallen asleep. So I didn't bother. Here's the thing. I don't know if Master Zhang still remembers. When we persuade those to surrender. The tricks used. ”

"Tricks." Zhang Fan didn't understand what Liu Xian's words meant for a while. "What a trick. Isn't it to persuade them to surrender. As long as they surrender, they will not be killed. And isn't it just to take their families...... Wait a minute. Could it be that it is related to the families of those 20,000 people. ”

"That's it." Liu Xian saw that Zhang Fan understood. Nodding. Said. "Only. It's not just a matter of relationships. The message I received last night. Actually, it's the ones who are hiding. Last night. I'll report the news below. Suddenly, many people rushed over from the vicinity of Yongning. At that time, the people below were taken aback. But he didn't wait to inform me. But it was discovered. The people who went were old, weak, women and children. And he didn't have any blades.

"Wait until they get there. One asked. It was really those people's families. I've heard that there are thousands of people too. Listen to them say that they heard the news that those people have surrendered. That's what came out. I guess they're afraid we're going to do something to those people. I'd like to check it out. I heard that we didn't do anything. That's when all the boldness came.

"Still. They did us a great favor. They brought a lot of food. It can be regarded as solving the problem of a meal for those people. Wait until noon today. Grain from Umeng's side has arrived. That's all it takes. ”

"That's how it was." Zhang Fan nodded. Asked again. "That. What did General Liu do about these old and weak women and children? It's to lock them up too. Or let them go back. ”

"You can't close it. Besides, there is no way to turn it off. Where to go. Liu Xian shook his head. Said. "Originally, there were only 40,000 horses for me. Guarding the 20,000 men. Even they were all unarmed. But you have to be careful. If those people are locked up again. That's nearly 30,000 people. Even if there are 10,000 of them, they are old and weak, women and children. But once it started. I really can't stand it. Don't lock them up now. It's not a troublemaker. And they often bring food over. It saved a lot of food for me. Isn't that a good thing? ”

"yes." Zhang Fan sighed. Said. "It seems that this matter has to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, these people are also a big problem. Now. I just hope that the court can make a holy decree soon. As soon as the decree comes. You can get these people to do some work. It can be regarded as solving a lot of troubles. But General Liu is going to be busy. After that, I was able to leave. But if you want to come to the imperial court, you won't be at ease with these people. Then. General Liu has to be on guard. ”

"It's nothing to watch out for them." Liu Xian waved his hand. Say you don't care. "As long as they don't make trouble. I don't think it's a big deal.

"Only. What Master Zhang said just now. It is necessary for the imperial court to make a holy decree as soon as possible. I'm afraid it's a little harder. ”

"Oh." Zhang Fan heard Liu Xian say this. Something is getting weird. Asked. "General Liu. How to say this. ”

"Although Lord Zhang has also been on the battlefield. But there weren't many battles fought. Liu Xian said. I've been fighting for decades. Something. It's very clear. But after the Great War. The imperial court issued a holy decree. That's definitely going to be as slow as it is going to be. Think of the one last year against the servants. April is already over. But it really needs to be decreed by the imperial court. But I waited until the end of the year. Master Zhang can be regarded as following the holy decree.

"Still. Not necessarily this time. Maybe. It is not certain that the DPRK will issue the decree sooner this time. Let's talk about it. It's all about the blessing of Lord Zhang. Come to think of it. Whether it is the Queen Mother or Your Majesty. Or the ministers of the court. I'm afraid that if Lord Zhang is not in the capital. They can't be at ease. ”

Facing Liu Xian's words. Zhang Fan originally wanted to refute it. But in the end. But he didn't say anything. He understood that Liu Xian was right. In who he is now. It is impossible to leave the capital for a long time. It's been a long time since this time.

At this time. The door was opened. Liang Chao walked in.

See Liang Chao. Zhang Fan knows. He's got what he's looking for.
