After the banquet, he refused Liu Fan's kindness to send someone to send him, and Lu Wen stumbled back to his home. After arriving home, Lu Wen sat on a chair and was silent without saying a word.

Seeing Lu Wen's drunken appearance, his wife hurriedly poured him tea, wiped his face and washed his face, and asked while busy working, "Master!" I heard that you were promoted to Fiscal Adjutant today? And was he invited to a banquet by Lord Liu in the garrison mansion? Such a big happy event should be happy! Why do you look preoccupied? ”

When Lu Wen heard his wife's words, he slowly came back to his senses and replied, "Happy? How do I get happy? I used to be the number one! I have the final say on the money and food of the Broken Army! Now Liu Fan has sent his own wife to take over this matter, and I have become someone else's subordinate! In the future, you will have to act according to the faces of others! How do you make me happy? ”

The wife was also silent for a while, and then said, "I'm a woman, and I don't know much about your affairs!" However, the whole of this broken army was fought by Lord Liu with one hand and one foot! It makes sense for him to hand over the finances to his wife! Why should the lord bother about this? ”

When Lu Wen heard his wife's words, his heart became more and more angry, and his face turned red and he shouted, "Reasonable? What makes sense? I, Lu Wen, have been with him Liu Fan for more than two years since the establishment of the Broken Army! In the past two years, I have been conscientious and dare not be a little slack, not to mention making great contributions to him, but I can be regarded as conscientious! He has now stripped me of my rights with a single word! How can I be willing, you say? ”

Seeing Lu Wen's hideous face, his wife sighed and said, "Master! It's not me talking about you! You ask yourself if Lord Liu has ever treated you badly! Who were you before? It's just a talent who has fallen behind! After so many years of exams, I haven't made a name! People appreciate you! Trust you! You're where you are. How about now? You are one of the elders of Jiaozhou, and no one in Jiaozhou will nod when they see you! Where does your position come from? It's not for you, Lord Liu! Even if I am a woman, I know the truth that a person dies as a confidant, so look at what you have done recently? greedy for military supplies, withholding all kinds of money privately, and secretly contacting those officials who oppose Jiaozhou! Is this how you repay people's kindness? You really don't want to be a person Liu

Know what you're doing? When you were in the Military Intelligence Department, those people ate dry food? That's just that Lord Liu values affection and doesn't want to embarrass you! Master! It's time for you to turn back! ”

Lu Wen's face slowly turned pale with his wife's words, and the anger just now disappeared, the rest was just scared, Lu Wen asked his wife with a frightened face, "Then what should I do?" ”

"What to do? I don't know! Then ask yourself! The wife shook her head and replied

Lu Wen shook his head and said, "Ask myself? I don't know! Why don't we take that money and fly away! As long as you have money, why can't you go down in this world? Let's go incognito to Jiangnan to buy a manor and be a landlord? ”

The wife continued to shake her head and said, "Incognito? Do you think this will work? Even if Lord Liu doesn't pursue us! But are we waiting? The top and bottom of this Jiaozhou are the eyeliner of the Military Intelligence Department and the Internal Logistics Department! How do we run? I think the only way to do this is to confess to Lord Liu! I don't think Lord Liu will embarrass us for the sake of his previous face! At most, it's just a loss of office! ”

Lu Wen exclaimed, "Lose your position? I don't want it! I don't want to lose my position! I managed to get to where I am now! If I lose my office, I'm nothing! Yue'er, you must have another way, right? ”

His wife Yue'er looked at Lu Wen with a disappointed face and said, "Haven't you woken up yet?" Now the only way out is to ask Lord Liu for guilt! Then hand over the financial power and withdraw from this power struggle! This will end up in a good end! Lord Liu didn't want to do anything to you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have arranged for you to be the financial adjutant! Master! Think about it! Don't make a mistake! Ignore Lu Wen and turn around and leave the room!

After his wife left, Lu Wen sat alone in the chair, recalling his past two years, from a penniless Xiaoxiucai to a high-powered quartermaster, with the growth of the Broken Army, Lu Wen's status has been improved, and his self-confidence has also swelled, and he has gradually become unsightly, losing his past caution and heart, and now he can't even recognize the basic concept of right and wrong. Tens of millions of taels of silver were handed over to him without any hesitation, but he lived up to his trust! Thinking of this, Lu Wen's heart was full of self-blame! It's a shame that Liu Fan invited himself to the family banquet so kindly today! Wait a minute! Dinner? Lu Wen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Thinking of Liu Fan's reminiscence of the past at the family banquet, his heart became more and more frightened! This is a warning to yourself! Or are you saying goodbye to yourself? Thinking of this, Lu Wen suddenly couldn't sit still, hurriedly stood up, pushed open the door, and shouted, "Yue'er? Yue'er! ”

When he came to the bedroom, he found his wife and told his wife about his suspicions, and his wife was shocked when she heard this, "Master! You're confused! Why didn't you say something so important earlier? ”

Lu Wen said with shame on his face, "I..."

Yue'er didn't wait for Lu Wen to explain, and interrupted: "Okay, it's too late to say this now!" For today's plan, I can only rush to the garrison mansion overnight to ask Lord Liu for guilt! ”

Lu Wen hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll go right away! ”

In the study of the garrison mansion, Liu Fan yawned and asked the restless Lu Wen, "Mr. Lu!" What's the matter with you not sleeping and looking for me so late? ”

Lu Wen fell to his knees with a "poof" and said loudly, "My lord!" I was wrong! For the sake of the past, you must spare my life! ”

Liu Fan was a little stunned, helped Lu Wen up, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Lu, what do you mean by this?" Something to say! ”

Lu Wen couldn't afford it, and continued: "My lord, I have betrayed your trust! I'm sorry for you! Then I told Liu Fan about how he was greedy for ink and silver, and how he came into contact with Jiaozhou officials!

Liu Fan's face became more and more ugly with Lu Wen's words, and in the end, his face was full of anger and he said loudly, "Mr. Lu! I, Liu, asked myself, there is no place to be sorry for you! Are you doing the right thing for me? ”

Lu Wen said, "Adults, it's all my fault!" Now I don't have the shame to face adults! I beg your Excellency to allow me to resign from my position as financial adjutant and go home to retire. ”

Liu Fan sighed when he heard this, and said, "Alas! I miss you and me for so long, and you have also made great contributions to the Broken Army! I won't pursue you this time! Forget about finances! Give Yao'er a handover tomorrow, and report to the military academy! Let's concentrate on being a lecturer in the future! I hope that after this incident, you can change your ways! Be a good man! ”

Lu Wen said ashamedly when he heard this: "Thank you for your grace not to kill!" (To be continued.) )
