Chapter 199: The Taste of the Tongue
Shu County, the new capital.
"I lost again, Brother Xiao is smart, I admire it."
Jiang Wan smiled slightly and spread his hands and said, opposite him sat a man in a blue Confucian costume, the man was about thirty years old, his face was thin, his face was slightly long, his eyes were not big, but they were extremely bright, his fingers were pinching a black chess piece and smiling, this person was Fazheng.
"Are you still here to play chess today? Don't you talk about something else? For example, women. Fa Zheng put the black chess pieces into the chess box and looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
"Then Brother Xiao Zhizhi thinks that the women in which place are more beautiful?"
"Each has its own taste, but if you compare, it is still the taste of Chengdu women."
"In comparison, the women in Yizhou are really good, with petite bodies and white and tender skin."
"So, did your lord go to this Yizhou?"
Jiang Wan's heart trembled, but his face remained unchanged, he just infiltrated Jingzhou as a businessman, and also took a pseudonym, is this law testing him?
"Brother Xiaozhi smiled, I am a businessman, not a generation, where will there be a lord."
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "The merchant does not have a taste like you, the merchant has a copper smell, and you have more of the breath of the children of the family, with a Jingzhou accent, a Central Plains accent, and a Liangzhou accent, it doesn't mean that you often go to so many places, you have more southern flavors, you are used to eating rice, not used to eating noodles, if the businessman is out all the year round, you will not be so picky about eating, so you are from Jingzhou." There is a thick layer of calluses between the index finger and middle finger of the right hand, which is the reason for holding a brush all year round, so you must be a person with a head and face and status in Jingzhou. And your caravan, but most of your subordinates are Hanzhong and Liangzhou people, if you are merchants, most of your people should be Jingzhou talents. But most of them are outsiders, what is the reason for this, it is Ma Hong who occupies Liangzhou and Hanzhong now, and Ma Hong is also from Jingzhou, so you are Ma Hong's person, Ma Hong is your lord, what I said is right. ”
Jiang Wan was speechless for a while, unable to find any words to fight back against Fa Zheng, because Fa Zheng's analysis was too correct.
"Actually, from the second time you came, I could see that you were Ma Hong's subordinate, and you wanted to come to Yizhou to find out the news. Don't be nervous, today is the eighth time you have come, and if I wanted to arrest you, I would have put you in prison long ago. The reason why I still play chess with you is to see what else you can talk to me about? ”
Jiang Wan saw that he had been recognized by Fazheng, so he no longer hid it, and said directly: "Jiang Wan in Xia Jingzhou, I want to talk about a big matter with Brother Xiaozhi." ”
"Big deal? But do you want me to collaborate with the enemy? Fa Zheng picked up the chess pieces, pushed all the chess pieces on the board away with a wave of his hand, and then placed the black chess pieces in the center of the chessboard.
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, this law is really as Ma Hong said, he is an amazing talent, Jiang Wan paused and said: "My master of the family knows the talent of the filial brother, and the talent of the filial brother should not be condescended to this small new capital to be a county order, Liu Zhang is not the master, and the lord of my family occupies Yongliang Jingxiang, which will become a big thing." ”
"I'm going to agree casually, doesn't it seem that I'm a traitor seeking glory."
Jiang Wan was speechless for a while, this Fa Zheng hit his blind spot every time he spoke, to be an excellent commentator, to be able to guess the opponent's mind and what the opponent is going to say, is the essence of the commentator, but he can't see through the Fa Zheng.
"Hehe, then I seriously promise your lord that I am willing to serve him."
"Brother Xiaozhi, what did you say?"
Jiang Wan looked at Fa Zheng in disbelief.
"As you said, Liu Zhang is not the master, but Ma Hong is a hidden dragon, a good bird chooses the wood to rest, and a good minister chooses the master to do things."
Shu County, Guangdu.
Some people say that the sword is not sharp because the heart holding the sword is not sharp, the position is not firm, because the heart is not firm, and for those who are not firm in the heart, as long as they use the appropriate method, they can be convinced. Messing up a person's already unfirm heart is what Deng Zhi is good at. The man sitting opposite him was about thirty years old, with a short beard, a slightly ill-fitting Confucian costume on his body, wheat-colored skin, deep eyes, a high nose, and sexy lips.
"The stone of the mountain can attack jade, Shu Jun is just a piece of copper, naturally there is no need to carve and grind, so Jiashi has been imprisoned in this square inch of land, doing trivial things, painful! What a pain! ”
Deng Zhi looked at Meng Da's tall nose bridge, and said sadly.
"Hehe, brother, you're right, I've been eating wine and meat tasteless over the years, why don't I want to do something, it's just that this lord is too mediocre and has no heart to dominate the world, so he can only divide this Yizhou, favor one side, and be happy."
Meng Da sighed, pressed the back of his left hand with his right hand and picked up the wine and touched Deng Zhi.
"Brother wants to do something, why don't you leave here?"
"Come to Guangdu, over the years, I also have some feelings for here, if you leave Shu County, then don't everything have to start all over again? It's just that brother, you are still young, and I see that you are full of talent, how can you be willing to be this businessman? ”
"Brother, don't hide it, my lord is Ma Hong."
"Oh!!" Meng Da's hand holding the wine glass did not tremble at all, his voice was very long, and he was shocked when he heard it, but his expression did not change much, and the expression of surprise was only for a moment, if it lasted too long, it showed that this person was pretending.
So Deng Zhi can be sure that Meng Da is pretending, with Meng Da's scheming these days, it is impossible not to be suspicious of him, Meng Da, as the head of a county, if he suspects Deng Zhi, he will naturally investigate, and he may not find many, but if a person is willing to spend time to investigate something, he will naturally find something.
A few days ago, Deng Zhi was indeed a businessman, under the pretense of purchasing silk in Chengdu, and contracted several dyeing workshops and blacksmith shops to secretly manufacture weapons. He had already found out that Meng Da had arranged eyeliner to get in, if he hadn't brought it up, Meng Da might have found out, but he didn't send troops after he found out, which means that this person has some ideas, and for a person who has ideas, you have to satisfy his ideas.
"Hehe, in this era, it is good to recruit private soldiers, but if you are just a businessman, there are quite a lot of people recruited, which has long aroused my suspicions. The reason why I didn't seize you was because I thought you would give me some benefits, but I didn't expect that you were indeed a spy. ”
"It's not appropriate to say that I am a spy, I just came to be a lobbyist on the orders of the lord."
"Lobbyists? Convince whom? Me? ”
"That's the old man, of course."
"Don't call me a brother, you should go to prison soon, you will die in prison!"
Deng Zhi smiled slightly: "Then before my brother wants to arrest me and put me in prison, can you talk to me again?" ”
"Do you think I should talk to a spy about life?"
"Yes, because I can win you a more glorious life, I can't hide it, my head of my family is just planning to attack Yizhou, Liu Zhang is mediocre, not enough to resist my lord, even if you want to fight hard, brother, according to your official position, Liu Zhang will not be reused. It's better to be the inside line of my lord before he invades Yizhou, and if my lord wins Yizhou, you will be the first to do it. ”
