Túrin took the order, and the Bai family and Tubo were left in the hall, all of whom looked at Guan Zhuofan blankly-he promised Haode just now, why did he change his face in a blink of an eye?

Guan Zhuofan saw Tubo's lips move, looking like he wanted to say something, smiled, and said, "Tubo, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Young master, Zhuo Ren is not a weapon, and what he does is too unusual, no wonder you are so angry. It's just that I want to ......" Tubo had some period of Aiai, and seeing Guan Zhuofan's calm face, he continued, "He has never suffered so much, if there are three long and two short in prison, the old man knows it, but I am afraid that he will not be ......able to live in peace."

"Hmm." Guan Zhuofan said in his heart, but you don't know that this master is really not my father. However, he still nodded, turned his head to look at Bai, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you say?" ”

Bai's psychology is a little subtle, not only sympathizing with Zhuoren's daughter-in-law, but also a little unhappy and uneasy about what she just said - the meaning of that sentence is a little obscure, if Guan Zhuofan is willing to save Zhuoren, she said to be a messenger for Guan Zhuofan, what does this mean? But it was only a fleeting thought, and the goodness of nature soon took over.

"Alas, if you want to talk about Zhuoren's daughter-in-law, it's really pitiful. Since you promised her and said that it was on you, then help her, why did you lock up Zhuo Ren instead? Bai Shi didn't have any scruples like Tuber, and said his incomprehension directly, "If you talk about what she did to me in the past, you don't have to pay attention to this, and I don't hold a grudge against her." What's more, you ...... with her" said this, but he couldn't go on with a red face. She was still a young woman, after all, and she couldn't afford to talk about such a thing of a man or a woman in front of Tuber.

Guan Zhuofan understood what she meant, saying that since she and her second sister-in-law had that time, they owed something to others. Then in Zhuoren's matter, he should raise his hand and have something to compensate.

After Bai Shi and Tubo finished speaking, they looked at Guan Zhuofan and waited for his expression. Guan Zhuofan stood up and paced in the hall - this kind of four-square step is said to be a necessary official school for officials, and he is actually practicing decently now.

After walking around twice, seeing that Bai and Tubo were both looking at him nervously, Guan Zhuofan suddenly stood still, laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, in fact, you and Tubo are right." ”

If it's all right, why shake your head? Bai and Tuber looked at each other suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.

"You're looking down on me. How could I, a man who is seven feet tall and stands tall in the sky, deceive a woman? When I say wrap it around me, it's wrap around me! Guan Zhuofan talked eloquently, "It's just that there are some things that need to be looked at a deeper level." ”

He paused, and saw that Bai and Tubo had nothing to say, so he continued: "Zhuo Ren not only harmed himself this time, but also made Du Er miserable. That white ginseng collar is always going to get Du Er out, if Zhuo Ren comes out of prison, the first one who can't let him go is Du Er! At that time, I am in Rehe, who of you can protect Zhuoren? ”

Bai Shi and Tubo suddenly realized, they didn't expect Guan Zhuofan to have this layer of consideration in it.

"Tuber, you're right, Zhuo Ren hasn't suffered hardships," Guan Zhuofan began to pace again, slowly shaking his steps, and said, "If you haven't suffered hardships, you don't know the benefits and harms, and you can't change his stinky body." My second sister-in-law, what kind of arrogant appearance did she look like, you know, weishenme has become like this today? I have suffered and know the stakes! Since the old man is gone, I, as a younger brother, have to teach Zhuo Ren a lesson for the old man, let him suffer enough, eat enough, let him know the benefits and dangers, and know that he is afraid. ”

Tuber sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this third young master to be so thoughtful, and he didn't see it thoroughly at his age.

"Sister-in-law, you're right, my second sister-in-law is really pitiful." Guan Zhuofan looked at Bai Shi and slowed down his tone, "Weishenme is pitiful? Because Zhuo Ren doesn't count, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and smokes a lot, and he doesn't have a serious place to make money, he naturally can't live this day. Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling just said that he could quit, and he was addicted to smoking, so he could quit it on his own? Now, if I put him in prison, maybe someone will come and ask him to smoke a big cigarette? If you don't quit, you have to quit! Sister-in-law, you say, isn't that the truth? ”

Bai Shi, like Tubo, was completely convinced, and said with a red face: "In the future, whatever you say, it will be as good as it is." I'm a woman, and I don't know much about it. ”

Tuber also praised: "Young master, if you talk about your heart, you really don't have to choose, this time, Zhuo Ren can be saved." ”

"Whether there is salvation or not, it doesn't matter if I say it." Guan Zhuofan smiled and said lightly, "Do your best, settle the destiny, and the rest depends on his own creation." ”

All afternoon, Guan Zhuofan waited for Baojun to send someone to summon him to the house, but it wasn't until dark that he waited for Baojun's messenger surnamed Yang.

"Master Bao confesses, please bring some things to Rehe for him." The messenger was holding a large sealed bag.

That said, there's nothing to say. Guan Zhuofan hid the disappointment in his heart and extended the errand into his study. Originally, according to his prediction, since Bao Jun and Wen Xiang buried themselves in Rehe as a "nail", then before the pull-out, Bao Jun must give him an explanation, and he can take this opportunity to join the big battle in the future, a big battle that determines the course of history.

Is it to take care of life, or to hang the curtain.

Could it be that he was wrong, in fact, he was not a nail, but just an ordinary six-rank military attaché? But what should be the explanation for that huge silver ticket?

Guan Zhuofan pondered nervously, and politely asked the messenger, "Brother Yang, what does Lord Bao want to bring?" ”

"Well," the messenger handed the big bag forward, "There is a letter to bring to Master Cao of the Military Aircraft Department." In addition, some silver tickets are the charcoal tributes that Lord Bao gave to everyone in Rehe, and they can also be handed over to Master Cao. ”

Guan Zhuofan understood that this was a reward given by Baojun to some officials in Rehe, or a disguised bribe. In summer, you will be given "Bingjing", which means that you know that you are so poor that you can buy a few pieces of ice to cool off; In winter, you will be given "charcoal", which means that you know that you are so poor that you have a clean breeze on your sleeves, so please buy a few pieces of charcoal to keep warm. This is all a normal income for officials, and it is not some ulterior secret.

According to Guan Zhuofan's original historical knowledge, this is the rule for foreign officials to give gifts to Beijing officials, but I didn't expect that a big man in Beijing like Baojun also has this atmosphere. It seems that Baojun's Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really not in vain.

He thought about it with his heart, but he couldn't remember which one of the ministers of military aircraft was surnamed Cao, so he asked apologetically: "Brother Yang, please make it clear, which Master Cao is it?" ”

"Master Cao Yuying, Master Cao, the foreman of Rehe's military aircraft Zhangjing." Yang Tingcha took out a piece from his arms, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't recognize it, this is his business card, you can take it and look for it, you won't be wrong." ”

Guan Zhuofan's eyes jumped, and then he thanked him repeatedly, and took a silver ticket of twenty taels and stuffed it in his hand. Yang Tingcha was quite surprised, and excused himself, but he still accepted it. Guan Zhuofan knew that the person who did this kind of thing for Baojun must be his cronies who listened to the errand, and there was no harm in accepting it, so he was affectionate and sent him out of the door before returning to the study.

The big bag was not sealed. Guan Zhuofan is not a gentleman, he opened it honestly and unceremoniously, and poured out the contents in one go. There were more than 20 red envelopes inside, all of which were written with the words to so-and-so. The cover of the letter was written with the words "Fu Zhuoru", but there was no seal, and the three snow-white Xue Tao notes were densely written in fly-headed small letters, and when they were read, they were full of trivial matters. Guan Zhuofan thought quietly for a while, packed the letter as it was, and stuffed it back into the big bag with those red envelopes.

Sure enough, it was him, Cao Yuying, who had led the army for more than ten years with "being in charge of the inside and knowing the Quartet outside", and Cao Zhuoru, who was relied on by King Gong as a national soldier for his "self-use and dangerous schemes".

Guan Zhuofan's heart calmed down, and he knew that he was still the nail.
