Lu Dingwen smiled bitterly: "It is certain that there are thieves deliberately setting fire to the water this time, we are all sleeping in the room at noon, and suddenly we heard a roar from the house where the Itamu envoys lived, let's run over and take a look, we saw that their roof was on fire, and it may be that someone sprinkled tung oil and other combustibles on it, and the fire immediately turned into a monstrous fire, and the door of Itamu was locked outside......"

Liu Fan glanced at Itamu in amazement, thinking that this kid is lucky enough, the arsonist clearly wants to burn him alive, it seems that Itamu's character is really problematic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info With such a tragic encounter, it's no wonder that this guy is still so angry that he jumps to his feet.

Pointing to Shulu, who was also smoked black-brown and resembled a three-ripe steak, Liu Fan asked, "Itamu was burned, what happened to Shulu?" The house they live in is also on fire? ”

Lu Dingwen wiped his sweat and said: "Exactly, not long after Itamu's house caught fire, we were all smashing the lock to save people, but we heard a roar from the Khitan national teacher, let's run over and take a look, the house where the national teacher lives is also on fire, and the fire is extremely fast, almost the whole fire burned together......

Liu Fan was stunned again and said, "Wait a while!" Before the lock on the door of Itamu's house was opened, you threw him down and ran to the Khitan national teacher? ”

Lu Dingwen smiled awkwardly: "The situation was so chaotic at that time, we only had a few accompanying officials, and we couldn't take care of this end and the other, isn't there no way......"

Liu Fan glanced at Itamu sympathetically, this guy is really pitiful, who told him to gallop outside the city, the officials of the Ministry of Rites threw him into the room and ran to save the Khitan national teacher, most likely Itamu did not invite them to see him, and if Liu Fan was present, it is estimated that he would do the same......

"Later, when the lower official saw that the situation was not good, he quickly called in all the sergeants who were guarding outside, and only then did he rescue the two envoys, but the house burned clean."

Liu Fan nodded, he understood, this thing was definitely not done by the Khitans, the Khitans were not so stupid, they were uncomfortable with themselves, most of them were done by the people of the Chu Dynasty. They are trying to blame themselves, if the Turkic and Khitan envoys are burned to death, who should bear the greatest responsibility? It's not him Liu Dahouye.

Strangely, why didn't the arsonist set the fire at night while everyone was asleep, but in broad daylight?

Thinking about it, of course, Liu Fan couldn't be stupid enough to run in front of the Turks and Khitans to admit that it was the Chu Dynasty people who set the fire, and saying this would be extremely unfavorable to the negotiations in a few days, but the only way to do it now is to muddy the water and put the basin on the head of the barbarians.

Liu Fan walked up to the national teacher Shulu and Itamu, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Two noble envoys, just say what you have to say, you can't set fire to the house, right?" The crime of arson is a felony in my Dachu, and your legal awareness is so weak that Benhou doesn't know how to explain it to the imperial court......"

Shu Lu said angrily: "Lord Hou, the old man speaks and acts in an upright manner, I swear to the true god on the grassland that this matter is definitely not the old man's doing!" ”

Liu Fan turned his head to Itamu in confusion and said, "Could it be that you did this?" And then you thief shouting to catch the thief? ”

Lu Dingwen translated Liu Fan's words, and Itamu raised his head like an enraged lion and roared wildly, his face was half black and half red with anger, and he yelled at Liu Fan very unceremoniously.

Lu Dingwen translated: "He said that the true god will punish the villain who lies, he is innocent, if you don't believe him, Hou Ye, he is willing to use his own blood to wash away the shame of being wronged." ”

Liu Fan thought to himself: Isn't the lying villain Ben Hou? However, your true god is in charge of that part of the grassland, and we belong to the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, and your true god cannot enforce the law across regions, and this matter will not be counted as Benhou in the end.

Liu Fan spread his hands and said innocently: "Both of you said that you didn't do it yourself, it can't be that we from the Chu Dynasty did it, right?" To tell the truth, this is the territory of my Chu Dynasty, if I really want to kill you, I can send an army to destroy you in a dignified manner, can I use this kind of trick? Did you know that this house is expensive?! It is made of wood, carving, tiles...... It's all the best materials, and now it's burned clean by a fire, and you can't even find the murderer, what do you think you should do about this? ”

Shu Lu glanced at Liu Fan intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Lord Hou, now that you can't find the murderer, this matter depends on the old man's opinion, so forget it, fortunately, no one was injured, and it is better to leave this matter to your yamen to investigate." ”

Liu Fan was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "In this way, according to what the national teacher said, it is very good." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Itamu, "What do you say?" ”

After listening to Lu Dingwen's translation, Itamu snorted heavily, twisted his head to the side, and didn't speak, which could be regarded as acquiescing in the matter.

Liu Fan said with a smile: "That's right, shake hands, everyone is a good friend, just a house, burn how you love, for the sake of you coming from afar to be guests, and we are so familiar at first sight, the house doesn't want you to pay for it, and it should be a meeting gift from Benhou." Oh, it's happy, everyone is happy, how good. ”

The implication is that Liu Fan still put the burning of the house on the barbarian mission.

The two envoys' faces changed when they heard this, and after thinking about it, they finally couldn't help but say nothing.

Shu Lu said with a smile: "Lord Hou, I have caused you trouble, and the old man really can't help it, thank you very much." The old man would like to ask, when should we start talking about the alliance between you and me? There are many state affairs on the grassland, and the old man is in a hurry to finish his work and has to go back quickly, and he also asks Lord Hou to take the time to discuss it early. ”

Liu Fan snorted twice and said, "Your envoy only came yesterday, why rush the negotiation?" There is a saying in our Chu Dynasty, called 'you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry', tofu, have you ever eaten it? Soft, slippery...... By the way, you haven't seen the entertainment nightlife of our Chu Dynasty, right? I'll take you to Luoshui in the evening, the moon is very round, and the tofu there is delicious......"

Shu Lu saw that this slick boy was still rambling, but he refused to say when he would negotiate, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Itamu spoke another Turkic dialect at this time, and Lu Dingwen translated: "He said that their Ashina Great Khan is the greatest and most noble Khan king in the steppe, and the people of the Chu Dynasty can only get the true gospel by alliing with them." ”

Liu Fan shook his hand and smiled: "Now is not the time to talk about this matter, hehe, the two noble envoys, Benhou still has to settle a new place for you, this is a place to live, the two noble envoys will go back and freshen up, you will scare the children if you run out like this now......"

After saying that, Liu Fan ordered several officials of the Ministry of Rites to rearrange the residence of the Turkic and Khitan envoys, and Liu Fan specially instructed them not to arrange them together, it is best to stay away, so as to save them from being idle and fighting in groups.

After the order, Liu Fan said goodbye to the two grassland envoys, and before leaving, Shulu pulled him aside and said with a smile: "Lord Hou, the old man wants to ask, have you offended people in your court?" ”

Liu Fan was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Shu Lu glanced at Itamu and said with a smile: "Today's fire is burning a little strangely, the old man can be sure that it was not our Khitan people, nor was it done by the Turks, hehe, Lord Hou, this is someone who wants to take the trouble on you." ”

Liu Fan was shocked, this old man is too shrewd, and according to some clues, he can see so much inside information, this old man is not easy to deal with.

After Shulu said this, he patted Liu Fan's shoulder with a smile and left.

Liu Fan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and suddenly seemed to remember something, Liu Fan chased after him and shouted: "Hey, do you go to Luoshui to enjoy the moon and eat tofu at night?" You're welcome, our Emperor Dachu has a treat......"
