Liu Lan retained Cui Yan for the position of Zhizhong, while Bo Cao was engaged in Dai Qian, and Bing Cao was engaged in He wanted to get rid of Cao Bao, but now Cao Bao couldn't move, so Guan Yu couldn't take the position smoothly, so he could only be arranged to become a lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry. After that, it was the county to engage in, Liu Lan walked around the paper next to him, but still retained Zhao Yu, Wu Meng appointed Zhang Fei, Sun Qian was engaged in Yicao, and Chen Qun was arranged by him to be the commander of Xuzhou.

Zhen Yan was the governor of the state pastor, Xu Chu was the governor of the account, Liu Yan of the Liu family of Xiaopei was the secretary, and Jian Yong was the Taishou of Xiaopei, and Zhao Yun was in charge of Xiaopei's military and political affairs, while Guoyuan continued to stay in Xiaopei to be in charge of Tuntian affairs.

Liu Lan looked at the many vacant positions, and sighed in his heart about the lack of talents, and most of the people who were originally replaced by him were people from the Xuzhou clan, occupying high positions, but most of them were corpse vegetarians, otherwise they would not have been replaced.

After all, at this time, Langxie County is in the hands of Zang Ba, Guangling County is in the hands of Zhenrong, Liu Lan, who is the pastor of Xuzhou, to put it bluntly, only controls half of Xuzhou, and there is a shortage of talents.

Liu Lan couldn't imagine that kind of consequence in his heart, he planned to pass the book back to Liaodong to see if there were any capable people on the side of Guan Ning Xuegong or even Tian Chou and Yan Rou to send some to Xuzhou first, but just as he was about to pick up the pen, he heard Chen Guo's voice outside the house, and said: "Lord, Zhao Yu is engaged in the county and asks to see!"

Liu Lan was stunned, this was the first time that someone in Xuzhou Wenwu had taken the initiative to come to see him, and it was Zhao Yu, who was happy in his heart, which showed that he had gradually gathered the heart of the Xuzhou scholar, and said, "Let him come in." "When talking. But he hurriedly put away the written transfer.

Zhao Yu walked into the house with apprehension, after all, he didn't come this time for business, but for private matters, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Liu Lan would agree, but he had to give it a try.

Zhao Yu pushed the door in, only to see that Liu Lan had already gotten up and stood on top and was looking at him with a smile. Hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The county is engaged in Zhao Yuzhou's pastor Liu Envoy." ”

Liu Lan personally went down the steps to greet him, extremely courteous, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Yuande came to say?" As he spoke, he pointed to the position of the next head, signaling that he had something to say, and sat down to discuss.

The two sat down one after another, Zhao Yu has a thin face, a beard, and a figure similar to him, although Liu Lan has not heard of this person's name in later generations, but the understanding of a few days has made him very aware of this person's talent. The county or Guangling Taishou have also wronged him, this person is definitely not a talent of a county.

And his reputation in Xuzhou is definitely much greater than Chen Deng, Chen Deng is known as a man of the lake and the sea, but this is a 'demeaning name' after all, but Zhao Yu is a veritable Xuzhou celebrity, and his reputation is so great that Liu Lan smacks his tongue, and his heart is called another talent who has been submerged in the long river of history.

Zhao Yu said with an embarrassed expression: "Fujun, Yu has something to do. I don't know if it's going to be said. Zhao Yu bowed down and finished speaking, but did not get up. still saluted, but secretly looked at Liu Lan out of the corner of his eyes.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Liu Lan's expression changed, and Zhao Yu's performance seemed to be begging him, but it was more of a threat, which made his complexion change in an instant, but in the end, he said without missing a trace.

"Yu Xiang begged the prince of the palace to pardon one person!" Zhao Yu found that Liu Lan had a pleasant face from beginning to end. I was overjoyed and spoke.

"Pardon one?"

Liu Lan chuckled in his heart, he didn't know who Zhao Yu was going to say for him, but since he asked for it, it wouldn't be a trivial matter. He was a little difficult to ride a tiger in his heart, after all, Zhao Yu was in charge of justice. (I want to be the deputy mayor in charge of the Public Procuratorate and Justice Department in the future, no, it should be the vice governor)

The person who can make him a county to engage in the project must be not small, but even if he understands that he is knowing the law and breaking the law, but when he thinks that this person is now the person who is trying his best to win over, if he is suspicious because of this matter, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

But if he agreed, he was a little worried in his heart, if the person he asked for release was just guilty of ordinary trivial matters, if he committed murder, would he also let it go? After all, it has been a matter of course since ancient times to pay for life, is it just a month after entering Xuzhou, so that the people of Xuzhou will discuss whether the power is great or the law is great?

Thinking of this, he said with some embarrassment: "Sir, let's talk about it first, Lan Zidang will go all out!" Liu Lan said a living word, let's see what kind of suspect he is pleading for, if this person can pardon him, he will issue a pardon order, if he really dares to intercede for a death row prisoner, then no matter how talented this person is, don't use it!

Zhao Yu saw that his complexion changed instantly, he was embarrassed for a while, and hesitated for a while, but in the end he was willing to let him say it first, his heart was full of emotion, and he bowed his hand and bowed again: "Yu has a friend, it is Pengcheng Zhang's family who advocates Zhao, just because he refused to make Tao Envoy Jun out of office, so that Tao Envoy Jun mistakenly insulted him, and Zhao was imprisoned before ten months, and has been imprisoned until now, Yu repeatedly pleaded, Tao Envoy Jun wanted to be released, but he did not want to die of illness, so this matter has been delayed until today, Yu only then dared to say to Fu Jun, let Zhang Zibu go home and reunite with his family!" ”

Liu Lan was stunned in his heart, although he sent someone to guard the Zhang family some time ago, he was afraid that he would run away to Jiangdong, but he withdrew his staff because of the matter in Xuzhou, but he didn't expect that this Zhang Zhao not only went to Jiangdong, but was also locked up by Tao Qian?

Zhang Zhao, who was originally released a few months ago and went down to Jiangdong, was imprisoned by Tao Qian for several months because of the changes in Zhenrong, and Zhao Yu, who had already returned to his hometown, escaped a catastrophe, and did not die in the hands of Zhenrong as in history, but became the county of Xuzhou.

"Is that so?" Liu Lan also heard for the first time that since Zhao Yu came for this matter, he naturally wanted to be a favor, and said with the intention of wooing: "Don't say that it is this matter, as long as it does not involve Wang Fa, Liu will naturally agree." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Zhao Yu thanked him and said: "Since the prince agrees to release the people, I hope that the prince will pass on the message, and Yu can also mention the people." ”

"I didn't know that such a celebrity was locked up in Xuzhou Prison, but it was also Liu's negligence, I should go to Mr. Zhang in person to make amends." Liu Lan had the idea of soliciting in his heart, but he said it carelessly.

"How does this work?" Zhao Yucheng said with trepidation: "It's just a trivial matter, He Lao Fujun went there in person. ”

The corners of Liu Lan's mouth hung up a hint of curvature, and he smiled meaningfully: "It's okay!" "I am lacking in internal affairs talents, but I didn't expect this Zhao Yu to find one for me. While thinking about it, he went out of the house with Zhao Yu.

There is a special place in the northeast corner of the main gate of the state governor's office, although it is a prison cell, but the prisoners who live here are not ordinary people. Most of them are people with heads and faces, and the layout here is not like a prison cell for prisoners, the door of the cell here is always open, so that the prisoners can move freely in the prison, and the room is placed in the marching couch, and the couch is covered with brocade quilts. Although it was dark and damp, it was better than the other cells.

It is only 300 steps away from the main gate of the government office, but the guards are much stricter than other prison cells, and the guards here are not two classes of officials, but the original Tao Qian's personal guards are in charge.

Outside the cell, there was a sentry at three steps, a post at five steps, and there were patrol soldiers interspersed from time to time, and at this moment, I saw a team of about 100 people walking not far away. Everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, and the blades in their hands were also tightened, ready to deal with the unexpected at any time.

It was only when this army got closer and closer, and after the soldiers saw the appearance of the person who came, they all breathed a sigh of relief, because they had clearly seen that the person who came was Xuzhou Mu Liu Lan.

Liu Lan, accompanied by Zhao Yu and more than 100 personal guards, hurried towards this prison, and the lieutenant who was in charge of this place from a distance greeted him and bowed his hand. Said: "Duwei Wanggu has seen Mu Shou. ”

"Take me to see Pengcheng Zhang Zibu." Liu Lan bowed slightly to Wang Gu and said.

"Yes." Wang Gutou led the way. Liu Lan and Zhao Yu followed him into the prison, the prison was dim, but following Liu Lan behind him, Wang Gu naturally had to behave well, while carefully instructing him to light the torches inserted in the walls on both sides while carefully instructing him to have steps on his side and hurdles on the other.

The light suddenly shone in front of him, and the sound and burnt smell of the torch thunderbolt made Liu Lan frown slightly. But they quickly got used to it, and the group turned around, only to see the oil lamp in a cell not far away flickering on and off, Wang Gu pointed to the room with the oil lamp bright, and said, "Envoy." Zhang Zhao was locked in that cell. ”

Liu Lan nodded and said to Wang Gu, "You are guarding here." After speaking, he took Zhao Yu and walked towards the cell that Wang Gu pointed to, this cell was unusually large and extremely clean, at this time Zhang Zhao sat in front of a low table and painted by himself, and a pot of wine was placed on the side, and on the floor of the cell were placed a few side dishes and the scraps and leftovers of a sea bass.

Is this a restaurant or a jail time? Liu Lan sighed at Zhang Zhao's comfortable life, stood in place, looked at Zhang Zhao who was painted in front of him, and saw that he was about forty or fifty years old, with a slight fat figure in medium stature, wearing a dark black Confucian robe, with a bamboo crown on his head, because he lowered his head to paint, so he could not see his face clearly, and could only see three long beards under his forehead.

Zhang Zhao didn't notice the arrival of Liu Lan and others, just buried his head in painting Danqing, and Liu Lan and Zhao Yu didn't want to disturb them, just stood on the side, and I don't know how long it took, until Zhang Zhao stopped writing, there was already a vivid picture of Ziya fishing came into view, and I couldn't help but praise in my heart It's good, yes, it can be compared with Yide's lady's picture.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhao Yu on the side had already stepped out and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zibu to be so Yaxing." Speaking of this, he was not without admiration: "How many people in the world can paint here?" ”

Zhang Zhao looked up and saw that it was Zhao Yu and a strange man standing aside, and he had been waiting for a long time, but while he smiled awkwardly at Liu Lan, he looked at Zhao Yu and said: "If you come, you will be safe, don't say that you are in prison, what is there to fear if you are in Longtan Tiger's Den?" ”

"Mr. Zibu is really courageous." Liu Lan praised.

Zhang Zhao glanced at the person who spoke, saw that his appearance and temperament were extraordinary, and pointed at Liu Lan to Zhao Yu and said, "But I don't know who this gentleman is?" ”

Zhao Yu introduced it: "This is the new Xuzhou pastor Liu Lan and Liu Zhou. ”

"That Tao envoy ...... Tao Envoy Jun ...... said that he was very choked up here, and it was difficult to say a word.

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and sighed: "Half a month ago, Tao Envoy Jun had already passed away......

Zhang Zhao seemed to have suddenly lost his backbone, sat down on the ground, shed two lines of tears for a while, and wrote hard, only to see that it was written: "Yi Yi envoy Jun, Jun Hou General, Ying Bingyi De, Yun Wu Yunwen, upright body, guard with gentle benevolence." Ling Shu and Lu, bequeathed love to the people; Mu Yu Ji Xu, Gan Tang is even. Jing Jingyi, 貊, Lai Hou Yiqing; Stupid and stupid, bandit restless. Only the emperor reads the achievements, the lord orders the chapter, both the shepherd and the marquis, and the land of Liyang. Then he was promoted to general, and he was named Anton, and it will be difficult to live in peace, and the society is chong. The year is not eternal, dying and dying, lost and lost, and the people know that they are poor. In the past few days, the five counties have collapsed, mourning for me, who will rely on? Remembrance, looking up to the imperial dome. Alas! “

Zhang Zhao read while writing, and the appearance of tears made the three people present moved, but in Liu Lan's heart, Zhang Zhao was imprisoned by Tao Qian, and he should be happy to hear his death news at this moment, but not only did he not fall into the ground, but he still looked like he was repaying his grievances with virtue, and he inevitably doubted the authenticity of his performance.

Not to mention Liu Lan, who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but said that after Zhang Zhao calmed down, he looked at Liu Lan, the trusted envoy, and said, "I don't know what the envoy came in person this time?" ”

"Naturally, I came to pick up Mr. and reunite Mr. with his family." Liu Lan glanced at Zhao Yu, and then smiled at Zhang Zhao.

"Is Liu Yuanjun really here to pick up Zibu and go home for a reunion?"

Zhang Zhao sneered, shook his head and said, "Instead of going to prison again in the future, it's better for the old man to stay here." ”

"Zibu, where do you start with this?" Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Zhao inexplicably and said.

Zhang Zhao glanced at Zhao Yu, and saw that he was at a loss for what to do, and expected that he was just pleading with Liu Lan, and he didn't know that Liu Lan's real intention was to invite him to come out, so he looked at Zhao Yu and said: "If Yuande really doesn't know, you can ask Liu Yuanjun to know the reason." ”

Zhao Yu is such a smart person, halfway through the words, he understood the meaning of Zhang Zhao's words, glanced at Liu Lan, but pretended not to know, and said: "Envoy, what Mr. Zibu said ......."

Liu Lan ignored him, just looked at Zhang Zhao, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zibu also spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Su Ran said: "Mr. Zibu is talented, how can Lan not have the intention of soliciting, but Deran can guarantee that no matter whether Mr. Zibu is willing or unwilling to go to Xuzhou, I will never dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Zibu." ”

"Humph!"

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Liu Yuanjun, the old man has decided to move his family to Jiangdong, so he will not go to Xuzhou." He said this, but he looked at Liu Lan meaningfully and said, "So you don't have to recruit the old man anymore." (To be continued.) )
