Chapter 208: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
Regarding Zhang Mancheng, Ke Hai probably knew a little, but he didn't know much about the ins and outs of Liu Zheng's entanglement with the other party, so he was stunned, feeling Liu Zheng's anger that was difficult to suppress, and he didn't ask more, just glanced at Lu Jian a few times.
Lu Jian's words are well-known among Liu Zheng's classmates, but in fact he is not a talker, he just likes to analyze the causes and consequences step by step according to his own logic, so that the people around him can understand, and at the same time in the process of analysis, he learns from the past and discovers new directions.
This habit does not mean to show off one's own ability at all, it is just because of his temperament, but it is his own people who are ruined, and for outsiders, Lu Jian usually has a lot of unfocused words, but it will not be annoying.
In fact, Lu Zhi would let Lu Jian stay in Luoyang in the past, firstly, at Lu Jian's age, he could still polish himself in Taixue for a few years, and secondly, although Lu Jian was young, he was indeed a skilled person, and his ability to judge the situation was much better than that of Lu Jie, even if he made a mistake, he could also use his youth to prevaricate. The hearts of the people in Luoyang are complicated, and it is even more dangerous to deal with the court, and in the case that there must be family members in Luoyang to be "supervised", it is more suitable for Lu Jian, who is free to advance and retreat.
Liu Zheng also knows a little bit about these things, and since Lu Zhi sent Lu Jian to stay here, Liu Zheng naturally wants to make the best use of it, exposing Zhang Mancheng at this time, in addition to preparing to do something to vent, Liu Zheng also wants Lu Jian to understand that it is not easy to do things by his side in the future, and it is not easy to get out.
It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Jian could have the attributes of intelligence "72" and politics "82" at this age is really not easy to match, and he didn't ask more about Liu Zheng's purpose of looking for Zhang Mancheng, but his face stiffened slightly for a moment, and he took the initiative to take care of these two things, and asked Liu Zheng to say a henchman who was relatively far away from the farm, and after learning that it was Zhang Ke, the commander of Zhuo County, he looked at Liu Zheng a few more times unexpectedly, so he covered his face, and finalized that Zhang Ke would have many distant relatives who were disfigured and strange.
Then Ke Hai led him from another path to a courtyard, Zhu Ming had been waiting there, the four of them entered the house, and watched Ke Hai Lu Jian leave from the secret passage behind a wall, Liu Zheng exclaimed: "It's amazing, I drew a map for you to guard, but you have done a lot of things." ”
"The lord praises it. It was the secret passage of the farm that inspired Mr. Jane. ”
Zhu Ming fastened the secret door of the secret passage, locked the secret compartment, and then vigorously and carefully moved the large wooden cabinet to cover it, "The room of the farm that is related to intelligence was built by tearing down the former village, and Mr. finished doing that, so he thought of letting those craftsmen come here to build a few secret passages." ”
Sensing Liu Zheng's hesitation, Zhu Ming smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, no outsiders know about these things, we are all doing it in secret, and there is nothing wrong." Now those craftsmen have also been settled in the city, and they have to be busy digging a few secret passages inside and outside the city, which will not take a short time, and we will ensure the safety of their family, food and clothing, where can there be any mistakes...... By the way, a certain family guessed that this time Mr. Jian might bring some of them to Nanyang and make this plan for the three caves of the cunning rabbit. ”
"It's a bit of self-righteousness...... Remember to be kind to them. ”
"That's nature."
Zhu Ming walked to the side and handed over a few sheepskin maps, Liu Zheng spread them out and glanced at them a few times, it was a secret road map.
"The keys to the secret passages on the old lady and the lady's side are in their own hands, and the keys to the other cellars and warehouses are in our hands...... Well, a certain family just said too satisfactorily, in fact, there have been several cases of craftsmen preparing keys before, and if you keep an eye on it, you may be afraid that we will destroy the corpse in the future...... Something happened in between, and then it didn't happen. But ......"
Zhu Ming's expression froze, and Liu Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you know how many times I just came back and heard this kind of thing?" I'm very relieved to say anything, and I don't know what mood to use to face your...... I'm filial! ”
"The Lord is angry. I can't wait, after all, you are the one in charge, and there are two owners in the future...... Even Mr. Jian and Zhang County Ling couldn't decide. ”
Liu Zheng frowned, Zhu Ming took a box and handed it to him, and said with a wry smile: "This is the secret passage key and map, prepared for you and the two owners, you can stay for a few days, and when the guests are gone, a certain family will take the three of you through the secret passage a few more times...... If the lord is afraid of leaking out, the wooden slip covered with the key can be destroyed after reading it, and if people still have time to try it out after getting the key, it is a dereliction of duty for our guards. ”
Liu Zheng bowed his head, returned the sheepskin map to Zhu Ming, hugged the box and frowned: "When you come, you can't keep the wall and hay all the time, right?" Seeing that you are thoughtful, this flaw is not like it should be. ”
"It was an expedient measure, and Mr. Jian originally planned to repair and rebuild it, but there was no reason. In the past two days, you and the two proprietors have come back, and Mr. Jian means that by your return, I am going to set up a private school for Xiaolang and his children, or you will live ...... The main thing is that if there is a secret passage under the warehouse, it is equivalent to connecting all the secret passages, and the most important person must live there. This must be decided by the lord himself. ”
Liu Zheng nodded, Zhu Ming laughed dryly, and then said solemnly: "Let's talk about the craftsman." A group of people from the Bao family, the Cai family, and the Yan family came, and there were a few who came over, and there were those who were sincere, but there were also those with ulterior motives. There were a few of those craftsmen who tried to trade with those people before, and I don't know where I heard the rumors, but I found out before I finished doing it...... The lord is angry, and we can't be as discerning as the lord, so I ......"
"It's okay, it's impossible to wait for me to make a decision all the time, looking at Xianhe's things in Zhuo County, as well as Uncle Zhang's personality, it's understandable."
Liu Zheng shook his head and asked, "Who have you found out?" ”
"Hmm. It's just hard to be sure of the other party's intentions, and some of them may just be out of curiosity or out of habit. If they die suddenly, we will not be able to escape the blame, so we can only stare at them secretly, waiting for you to come back and decide...... Speaking of which, it was also this matter that made Mr. Jane's side care, so he began to make some layouts. It's just that the village is expanding, and we are afraid that the things in the old school will reappear, so we don't dare to recruit people in. And those people came in to serve, and even guarded, and even Mr. Jian couldn't refuse. This is the list, just in case, everything that can be written has been written in, and a few of the problems have also been highlighted. ”
Zhu Ming took out a piece of clothing from the closet, sewed a lot of secret compartments inside, and wrote a lot of content, Liu Zheng held it in his hand with a smile and laughed, and teased: "You sewed it yourself?" Or Lingxi? ”
"How dare I let Lingxi get involved in these things. It's safer to be uninformed. Besides, she follows the old lady and the lady on weekdays, and I am afraid that she will say it. ”
Zhu Ming scratched his head a little shyly, and then his face turned bitter: "Lord, since you mentioned Lingxi, Zhu Mou said more." In fact, in the past few months, we have been blindly called on by some people, and there have been several small conflicts. A few of them are circled, and they have nothing to do with craftsmen, which is such a problem. On weekdays, the old lady and the lady guard the mourning hall, domineering in front of us and others, even Lingxi has been scolded several times, but when he enters the mourning hall, he pretends to be tame...... If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the old lady and the lady, and then being told by others that we were bullying the newcomer, in fact...... Alas, it is difficult to say in a word, but it is still the judgment of the lord himself...... To put it mildly, Zhu is not afraid that the lord will suspect me of destroying the unity in the village, which is really too deceitful! ”
"You come with me."
Liu Zheng patted Zhu Ming on the shoulder, handed him the box of clothes, and opened the door: "Help me recognize my face." ”
"It seems that the lord really has a way, but a certain family remembers the scene of the school field that day. Brother Zhao Qian then knew that the lord had not ......"
The words stopped abruptly, and some noise sounded in the distance, Zhu Mingrong frowned, "It's Madame's side...... Previously, Commander Ke wanted to do something, and I asked Ma Luo to watch and not allow anyone to enter. Listening to that voice, it should be Mrs. Bao's cousin Bao Shou Bao Changming. Mrs. usually needs to be filial piety, and the things that treat people and things basically fall on Mrs. Bao's head. ”
"I dare to make noise......
Liu Zheng squinted, "This person is also circled?" ”
"Hmm. This man...... I don't know what to say. It was also taught by the lord himself. ”
Liu Zheng bowed his head, as if he had thought of something, "The Bao family is in charge of the village, and the farm ...... You say that this Cai family really has nothing to do with the three brothers and sisters in the farm? ”
"Not really. Previously, Zhang County's order was only a distant point, and the lord may not have seen it clearly. The temperament of the three brothers and sisters is extraordinary, and they are a little whiter than those in the Cai family, and they look like scholars who don't go out all year round. That conversation, I have thought about it with Huang Tian, and it is much better than the Cai family's gang, and it learns quickly...... In short, not ordinary people. It is impossible to be a businessman, and it is impossible to be from the Cai family, otherwise the Cai family would not be so ostentatious...... If it's still that kind of temperament, even Zhu has to think that those people are stupid to read, and it's not as good as me. ”
Zhu Ming laughed and thought for a while, "Chen Ping said that he had seen an old man in the past, but he had returned to the basics with five cars, and he had no prejudice in treating people and things, which was quite similar to these three brothers and sisters...... The lord walks this way? ”
Seeing that Liu was walking towards the path, obviously wanting to go to the low hole, Zhu Ming was stunned, Liu Zheng smiled: "Just find a reason to rectify and rectify, by the way, I will find someone to push tomorrow, and give our family to live in the future, the place is big, build a few more rooms on weekdays and give them to Xiaoxue, maybe you and Lingxi's children will be able to use it when they go to school in the future...... This is where you and Cohai live? ”
Zhu Ming was a little shy, "Yes." In fact, it's also close to the lady's side, and if you really want to have something, you can know it. At night, we were all right in the warehouse. ”
"It's cold, hard work. Go, go see, don't make a sound. ”
……
At the same time, near the promenade outside the courtyard, a young man in a fancy costume was arguing with Ma Luo.
"The surname is Ma! You've had your brains! Counting things with two hands every day, I really don't know what you are doing with your brain! Than that! I need you to explain?! It's embarrassing for the mother to come out! Don't get out of the way yet! ”
"Stop arguing! Tap! ”
"Tap? I'm just going to lure Liu Gongzi and them out! You idiot! The people of the Lu family and Liu Tingshi are leaving! When you see Liu Gongzi, you will leave! Do you understand the priorities! The Lu family is something you can offend? Liu Tingshi is something you can offend? Even Liu Gongzi has to serve well! What kind of thing are you! ”
"Bao Gongzi, I advise you to be light. Now that the lord has returned, since Commander Zhu has ordered me to stay here and no one is allowed to enter, it must be the lord's will. I'm also for your own good, there is a mourning hall inside, and I really want the Duchess to come over......"
Ma Luo crossed his fingers and spoke, but Bao Gongzi was also talking at the same time, "Ma Luo, wake up!" Don't become a victim of Zhu Ming's efforts to curry favor with Liu Gongzi, Zhu Ming just saw you being rigid, so he let you stay here. If no one comes, he will have achieved a good thing, and now that I am here, it is still such an important thing, you just wait to be blamed by Liu Gongzi! Lu's Eye! Liu Tingshi! If you get out of the way, Gongzi Liu and his wife won't blame him! ”
That Bao Gongzi pushed Ma Luo a few times, and saw that Ma Luo was helpless and blushed in front of him, and rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Madam! Liu Gongzi! Bao has something to see! Please come out and get together! ”
……
"This Bao Changming is still a ...... circled by Mr. Jian himself"
Seeing Liu Zheng frowning, Zhu Ming's face was also a little ugly, "It's just that Mr. Jian can't say whether this person is really reckless or pretending." After all, it is a member of the noble clan, and it is not common to have a ruffian like this. And the Bao family members who went to the farm to help are also quite calm. Just him...... I'm anxious, and I like to yell when I have nothing to do, but then again, when I didn't know Mrs. before, I was still in front of Mr. Jane, and I judged everyone, including Mrs. Mr. Jian always felt that this person was trying to find out the bottom line of our waiting. ”
"This sounds, I hope Yun Chang won't come."
Liu Zheng rubbed his hands and muttered, and at this moment, Geng Qiuyi's voice came from the opposite side of the wall, "Brother Changming, is there something wrong?" The place is disturbed. Brother Zhao also needs to recuperate. ”
"What about Liu Gongzi? What about Liu Gongzi? Madame, why did you come out alone? Ha, I can't figure it out. Is Liu Gongzi here or not? Ma Luo, do you people know the situation? If you're not there, just say it, I'll look for someone somewhere else, if it's ...... If you really want to offend Liu Tingshi and Lu's people, Bao is not responsible! ”
"Brother Changming, you speak slowly, the concubine is ......"
"Madam, how slow! What a priority! Liu Gongzi won't put on a show at this time, right? Shi clan, he is really going to provoke a Han clan relative with no identity, so don't do anything in the future! Everyone in this village has to break up! ”
“…… My husband has been here before, and he has just left. ”
"Where did you go?"
"The concubine doesn't know."
Geng Qiuyi's tone was a little puzzled, "Brother Ma Luo hasn't seen it?" ”
"A certain family has never seen the lord's ......"
Ma Luo's voice was also a little hesitant, and Bao Shou was silent for a moment, and suddenly said in an unkind tone: "Madam, you won't join forces to deceive Bao, right?" If you really don't want to see it, just say it. Why did I go to my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law said that he wanted to keep filial piety, dig a pit, and asked me to come over, but you also pushed back? Liu Gongzi's pit is difficult to come true, and he plans to bury himself in ...... next few days."
"Shut up!"
Ma Luo shouted.
"Lao Tzu belongs to the Bao family! It's the cousin of your second owner's wife! How dare you talk to me like that?! Don't look at your own origins! Wait for Lao Tzu to be an official in the future, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will cut you directly! ”
"Brother Changming, don't worry, let the concubine ......"
"Madam, come, let's go in and look for it together, Bao only needs to confirm the whereabouts of the lord......"
"You dare to pull and pull at Madame!"
"I'm just holding hands!"
"Brother Changming, it's not ...... reasonable"
"It's okay, the concubine is just a servant, maybe another day Liu Gongzi will be happy, and he will reward me ......"
Whoa!
The hay fell into a piece, and in the field of vision, Bao Shou, who was anxious, was holding Geng Qiuyi's wrist and turned his head to look at this side.
Geng Qiuyi struggled hard, that Bao Shou had seen Liu Zheng before, but he was embarrassed to let go of his hand, and said with a dry smile: "Liu Gongzi is here." Isn't Mo playing with his wife? It's really good! Uh, no, Zhu Ming is also there, Bao remembers that it was a wasteland...... Oh! It turned out that there was still a hidden thing, and when Liu Gongzi was away, it all depended on Zhu Ming...... Ahaha. ”
These words are equivalent to saying that Liu Zheng was in the wind and snow during his filial piety, and the unfinished words combined with the ambiguous laughter back and forth were even more hateful, Ma Luo gritted his teeth, and Zhu Ming also darkened his face.
"Husband......
Geng Qiuyi touched her wrist that was a little painful and faced Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng glanced at her crimson wrist, took her and walked to Bao Shou, looked at the intelligence attribute of the other party's "33", and after confirming that it was lower than Ma Luo, he was angry in his heart and smiled a little absurdly.
He was just about to get angry, when he noticed Guan Yu's figure flashing around the corner, he immediately stopped talking, and without being sure whether Guan Yu knew the other party's deeds, he had to laugh, "It seems that Brother Bao has become accustomed to it." Liu often heard of the practice of changing some concubines among scholars, Liu was down-and-out before, and he didn't know how to do it, Brother Bao was well-informed, and he didn't know it, but he did it? said that he would listen to Liu, and it would be good that he would meet him one day, so that people would not say that Liu was lonely and unheard. ”
Geng Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, feeling Liu Zheng's thumb gently rubbing against the red and swollen part of his wrist, and lowered his head slightly to warm his heart.
Ma Luo changed color, and was just about to speak, when he saw Zhu Ming's footsteps back a few steps behind Bao Shou, he immediately knew it, so he also took a few steps back, and rolled up his sleeves with some excitement.
"Liu Gongzi is really good Yaxing, but this matter has to be left for Bao to discuss in detail. Now, Liu Tingshi and the Lu family are leaving, you have to hurry up and send them off, so as not to lose your courtesy. ”
Seeing that Liu Zheng humbly asked for advice, Bao Shou also laughed, and then came over and put his arm around Liu Zheng's shoulder, and reached out to Geng Qiuyi's chin with an ambiguous expression: "However, I have a good maid, since Liu Gongzi is interested, why don't I ......try it in the next two days."
After a pause, a hand firmly clasped his wrist. The power was so great that Bao Shou almost felt that his wrist was about to be crushed, and he was about to speak, when he saw Liu Zheng gritting his teeth and looking at Zhu Ming, "The Bao family is playing us!" Sent a guy who didn't go into the stream to come over and make up the numbers! Kenwa thinks too much! Yun Chang, I suggest cutting off his hands, what do you think? ”
"Big Brother ......"
At the corner, Zhang Fei led Wei Linping and Li out, but Guan Yu was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Fei looked behind him and said with a wry smile: "The second brother has gone to catch up with his sister-in-law." This man...... Looks like you can do whatever you want. ”
