This time he came to Tian's house to pay New Year's greetings, Liu Fan obviously felt that Tian Chou's attitude towards him had undergone a fundamental change, and Tian Chou used to just use Liu Fan as an "ATM" to constantly squeeze benefits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Maybe because he is a businessman-turned-speculator, he doesn't think too much of Liu Fan, a small military attaché, in his heart. But from today's point of view, Tian Chou really treats Liu Fan as a family, with less hypocrisy and more sincere care.

Liu Fan also knew why Tian Chou had changed so quickly, the weight of a household book was not light, at least Tian Chou himself did not have this weight, even if he was Tian Fei's father, Chongzhen could not remove a six-department chief official because of him. It was precisely when Tian Chou saw this that he changed, which is one of the collateral effects of his status.

In fact, Liu Fan was not so indifferent to what Tian Chou said, and he never underestimated Hou Sui, and even Liu Fan had been thinking about whether to send someone to ambush Hou Sui, but after thinking about it for a long time, Liu Fan still dispelled this idea. The reason is that Hou Sui has been dismissed, and it is difficult to recover again, without an official position, he is like a toothless tiger, and the threat to Liu Fan is not great! Second, what Liu Fan is afraid of is not Hou Sui himself but the Donglin Party behind him, these people control public opinion, once they offend them, they will be constantly smeared, Liu Fan estimates that his reputation in Jiangnan and other places is not much better than Wei Zhongxian! Hou Sui himself is a native of Henan, and his impact on the Donglin base camp in Jiangnan will not be too great, so the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced. If he was from Jiangnan, Liu Fan would not allow him to return to Jiangnan even if he took some risks! Moreover, the matter involved in killing a former household department Shangshu is too big, and a Hou Sui who is not too threatening is not worth Liu Fan's risk.

These things are Liu Fan's own considerations, because of the degree of trust, Liu Fan naturally won't tell Tian Chou about these things, and Liu Fan may reveal some of them if he is replaced by Zhang Yiheng.

It was already afternoon when she came back from Tianfu, because of her mother's arrival, Shuying did not follow Liu Fan back, but stayed in Tianfu to accompany her mother, Liu Fan was depressed and had to return alone.

"Little Tiger! What's the situation today? Back home, Liu Fan asked Li Xiaohu beside him

"Sir! Today's situation is better, from morning to afternoon, a total of thirteen people came to post posts, most of them are some petty officials with six grades or less, and their subordinates have already sent people to send them! ”

The corners of Liu Fan's eyes twitched, and he was very helpless in his heart, and sighed, "Alas! There are so many of them! I can't stand it, and I'll leave the affairs in Xiaohu's Mansion to you! I'll go out and hide for two days. When someone comes to visit, you will say that I have gone to the barracks to inspect military affairs, you know? ”

"Huh!? Leave it to me? Li Xiaohu suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and hurriedly said, "Master, I also want to go to Nitunbao to meet the brothers!" It's been a long time since I've seen them, and I'm missing them too! Otherwise, you see, would you take me with you? ”

Liu Fan glared at Li Xiaohu angrily, "Don't give me a sloppy look, I don't know what you're thinking?" I'll leave it to you! No shirk! So be it! Now I'm going! ”

"Ahh Don't, my lord! In Li Xiaohu's wail, Liu Fan left Liu's mansion without looking back.

Riding horses all the way, Liu Fan and others arrived at Niutunbao at ten o'clock in the evening. Seeing Liu Fan coming, Song Cheng was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Overseer, why did you come here at night?" Did something big happen? ”

Liu Fan glared at Song Cheng angrily, "What a big night?" It's not dark yet! When am I going to report back to you? ”

Song Cheng knew that he was speechless, and said with some embarrassment, "Naturally, this is not necessary, the subordinates are abrupt, don't blame the overseers, please inside!" ”

Liu Fan laughed, patted Song Cheng's shoulder and said, "I'll tell you the truth!" Lord Ben came to the barracks to hide for two days, huh! By the way, I also care about everyone's life! ”

"Huh!? Hiding for two days? Song Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Did you offend anyone in the capital?" ”

"Nope! It's just that I suddenly became famous recently, and many people came to visit, which made me so annoyed that I had to come to the barracks to hide! Rest assured! In the capital, except for Your Majesty, no one can do anything to me! Liu Fan explained

"Oh! That's good! I thought something big was happening! ”

While speaking, the two had already entered the barracks, looking at the somewhat quiet barracks, Liu Fan was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on today?" Where have all the people gone? ”

Song Cheng hurriedly replied, "Overseer, according to your orders, isn't this a holiday until the fifth day of the new year, and today is only the fourth day of the first month!" That's why I didn't train everyone! As for why there are so few people, everyone may have gone to see the acrobatic team of the Red Girl! ”

"The Red Lady is still in the barracks?" Liu Fan wondered

"Yes! Didn't you tell them to be entertained? ”

"Oh! That's it! Liu Fan thought for a moment and said directly, "Take me to meet them!" ”

Song Cheng led a few people all the way to the school where the red lady and others were, and before they arrived, they heard the sound of boiling, Liu Fan was stunned, so hot!?

In the distance, Liu Fan secretly glanced at it and found that it was the little girl named Xiaoya who was performing the kicking stunt on stage. The girl lies on her back on a small table, her feet are up, and her toes are against a smooth porcelain color jar, and under the girl's skillful skills, the color jar rotates rapidly, soaring freely! Attracted everyone's applause! In order not to disturb everyone's interest in watching the play, Liu Fan asked Song Cheng to lead him quietly into the backstage. Seeing Liu Fan and the others coming, the acrobats who were putting on makeup or resting in the background stepped forward one after another and saluted, "I've seen Lord Overseer!" ”

Liu Fan stepped forward to help a few people up and said with a smile: "You're welcome, get up quickly!" Are you okay these days? If there are any difficulties, you can mention them to me, and I Liu Fan will not be stingy if I can help! ”

"I'm sorry Lord Overseer, we are already grateful to have been taken in by you, and we don't want to trouble you! Besides, your army has been very good to us in the past few days, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, and I am dissatisfied with you that the little old man has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time that such a good life has been lived! The meat I've eaten these days is almost catching up with me for a lifetime! Look at our red-faced, not thanks to the Overseer! An old man in the acrobatic class said with emotion

This person Liu Fan recognized, this person everyone called him the old grandson, he was one of the leaders of the Red Lady, and his specialty was fire-breathing skills, and his performance Liu Fan had also seen it was indeed very exciting.

"Grandpa Sun is right, Liu Dujun really wants to thank you this time, if it weren't for your take-in, we people would be sad this year! Ying'er on behalf of the old and young of the troupe saluted the adults! The red lady parted from everyone, walked in front of Liu Fan, bowed deeply, and her pretty face was full of gratitude!
