"Commander Huo, but you don't recognize me?" After Zhang Man walked in, he greeted Huo Teng quite freely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Huo Teng was stunned for a moment, and carefully distinguished, but a cold sweat came down on the spot, and he immediately bowed his hand and said, "I've seen Miss Zhang of the Xinting Hou Mansion." ”

"Huh?" Liu Chan was stunned, "You know each other?" ”

Zhang Man walked to Liu Chan's side, blinked his eyes and said: "Commander Huo once had a conflict with his father, but that is all in the past, after his father went out with Uncle Huang, if there are some affairs that cannot be handled, Commander Huo will always appear as soon as possible." ”

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Teng, who pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, looking a little uncomfortable.

However, Liu Chan didn't ask much, and he didn't mind that his subordinates had some secret past of their own.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Man found them. But there is nothing strange about it, his whereabouts are not kept secret during this trip, and even many people in the mansion know what he thinks, and it is actually very simple for the other party to find him.

Taking advantage of Zhang Man's free time to talk with Huo Teng, Liu Chan couldn't help but set his eyes on the former's clothes.

At first glance, he knew that the other party must have been carefully dressed. The tight ranger corset, the unique pattern of the placket, the delicate jade pendant attached to the outside of the slender thigh, plus the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand, and a little rouge gouache slightly outlined the delicate face, and the little girl next door two days ago has a completely different feeling.

Smart and handsome. Such as Zhong Lingyunxiu's Emei Mountain.

The only thing that made Liu Chan a little strange was that it was quite different from the previous two days, probably because he was bound......

"Ahem. Let's go. He keenly sensed Zhang Man's gaze that glanced over if he was aware of it, and coughed slightly unnaturally.

Huo Teng immediately shut up when he heard this, and then quickly returned to the vigilance of the previous moment, and the change in painting style made Zhang Man a little surprised.

Obviously, this Huo commander, who can be said to be her uncle's generation, has been subdued by the "Zen Brother" beside her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Man felt a little happy in his heart.

What about that girl who doesn't want her wishful person to be a hero of the world?

Along the way, Liu Chan's view of Zhongshu has been raised to a higher level. On the road, there is a person patrolling the roadside every other section, on the one hand, to check for dangers, and on the other hand, to guide the way and provide some help to passers-by.

There is no doubt that from the attitude of these non-commissioned officers, it is known that Zhongshu was specially planted here for the waterwheel, otherwise, how could these guys be kind to the ordinary people who look down on them on weekdays.

It seems that the official sent by the county government who cooperated with Zhongshu was not simple, at least he was comfortable in controlling his subordinates, which made him want to meet this person.

Well, Liu Chan didn't mean to dig the foot of the wall, he promised......

……

Taishou House.

"Yu Taishou, the young lord's subordinate ministers and horses are all asking to see you outside the door."

"Let him in." Li Yan was not surprised, and replied lightly.

"No."

Not long after, Li Yan saw a green-shirted literati following the housekeeper and coming to him.

"The contemptible Chan young master's retainer Ma Jun has seen Qianwei too obey the order." Ma Jun bowed and bowed, his voice clear.

But Li Yan, who has been up and down in officialdom for many years, why can't he hear the trills in the other party's words?

"Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite." He couldn't help but think of the immature appearance when he was young, maybe it was because the white silk on his temples gradually increased, and he always liked to recall involuntarily.

Li Yan has always been more tolerant of capable people, otherwise he would not have recommended Cao Yang Hong after his subordinates openly resisted his order. Yang Hong can now become the Taishou of Chengdu, on the one hand, because of his own outstanding ability, on the other hand, Li Yanqi's unsparing promotion cannot be ignored.

And this slightly young man in front of him, he has also heard of it, and he has heard that he is a minister above everyone under one person in the young master's mansion, presumably with that person's vision, he will not leave an incompetent person in the mansion.

"Now that you have the young master's order, what is the matter?"

Hearing the question, Ma Jun took out the prepared rhetoric, and spoke a little faster at first, so that he himself sensed that something was wrong, and forcibly suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and then gradually entered the rhythm.

After retiring from Liu Chan's study yesterday, Ma Jun reflected the reason why Liu Chan wanted him to act like this.

Ma Jun, who has always wanted to get the young master's affirmation, has been forcing himself to think more about things, and it is obvious that what Liu Chan asked him to do was to expose the contradiction in front of Li Yan, so as to deal with this matter with his hand.

As the words continued to be spoken, he saw with his peripheral vision that Li Yan, who was sitting on the right seat, was gradually frowning.

After listening carefully to what Ma Jun said, Li Yan stroked his short beard under his chin, "The matter of building the embankment was mentioned by the young master Chan to the old man, and Mr. Zhuge also issued an edict. ”

"I remember, I once handed over to the young master of Zen to keep the edict, the transfer of characters, less than 100 people, less than 1,000 can be decided, could it be that the king came today to seek ten thousand?"

Li Yan was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that a thousand yuan plus a small amount of money should be more than enough.

Qianguan money is indeed a lot, Liu Chan once converted it into later coins, the money has always been equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan, Qianguan is also a million, of course it is not enough to build the Three Gorges, but at today's prices, it is enough to buy only one inland river dam, which is also the reason why Liu Chan was shocked when he heard Ma Jun complain about this matter.

Seeing that Ma Jun wanted to speak and stopped, Li Yan reacted faster than Liu Chan, and immediately said angrily: "But someone is obstructing it? Deduction of silver two?! ”

Without waiting for Ma Jun to speak, he got up and walked to his side, and said in a cold voice: "Today, together with Mr. Xiao, I want to go and see who dares to be corrupt in this people's livelihood plan!" ”

When the two of them were about to go out, Li Yan deliberately did not make a noise, and did not even use the carriage and horses in the house, but walked with Ma Jun and the two.

On the other side, another scene is naturally being staged at the same time.

Wei Yi was sent by Ma Jun to leave the mansion at the same time as Liu Chan's words, but he was the one who went to the treasury to ask for silver again.

According to Ma Jun's instructions, he had only one purpose for this trip, and he was pretending to be pitiful and asking for silver.

But Wei Yi didn't think so.

As a member of the Mo family who has been crawling at the bottom of Chengdu for many years, to be honest, he is fed up with the kind of poor life of not having enough food and clothing.

Now that they, the Mo family, who have been relegated to the lower third-rate, have climbed the big tree of the young master of Yizhou and lived a good life that they didn't dare to think of, Wei Yi was a little dissatisfied.

He craves power.
