Yang Jinchao, Lu Jiude, and Wang Pu continued to discuss for a long time and finally decided that it was more reliable to find Liu Fan, which was also their only way.

After the three of them discussed, they began to act separately, Yang Jinchao and Wang Pu began to prepare their property, contact their backers, and operate this matter, Lu Jiude came directly to Wu'an to ask Liu Fan for help.

In the Wu'an camp, Liu Fan was dealing with the affairs of the displaced people, and suddenly Sun Liang came to report and said, "Dashuai! There was a eunuch outside the camp who came to visit, saying that it was Wang Chengen's father-in-law, and he had something important to ask to see the lord! Would you like to invite him in? ”

Liu Fan was puzzled: "Wang Chengen's people? What is he looking for me? Let's let him in first! ”

Sun Liang replied, "Yes! Handsome! Humble here, invite him! With that, he turned and left. It didn't take long for Sun Liang to take Lu Jiude to Liu Fan's big tent, and when he saw him, Lu Jiude knelt down in front of Liu Fan with a "poof" and begged, "Lord Liu!" For the sake of the prince's face, save the miscellaneous family! After saying that, he began to cry.

Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took two steps forward to help Lu Jiude and said, "Why did this father-in-law say this?" Something to say! As long as I Liu Fan can do it, I will definitely help! ”

Lu Jiude wiped his tears and said, "Lord Liu! Lu Jiude of the miscellaneous family is an errand under the prince in the palace, and he has been fortunate to see Lord Liu several times in the palace, Lord Liu is a nobleman, maybe he doesn't remember the little person of the miscellaneous family, but we finally have a few sides, and there is still a share of this incense! And after the miscellaneous family left the palace, the prince told the miscellaneous family to come to visit Lord Liu, a few days ago I heard that Lord Liu came to Wu'an, and the miscellaneous family thought about finding an opportunity to visit, but I didn't think that Lord Liu went on the expedition! Alas! If only the miscellaneous family had come a little earlier! ”

Liu Fan was even more confused when he heard this, so he had to say, "Father-in-law Lu is also doing things for His Majesty!" It is reasonable that he can't get out of his body for a while, and Liu Fan also understands this! Since you are the prince's person, we are our own people, so let's talk about what Father-in-law Lu has come to me this time! Liu Fan, who can help, will never refuse! ”

Lu Jiude was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly explained, "Here's the thing! The miscellaneous family was taken care of by the prince and was recommended as the supervisor of the Beijing camp, which was originally a good errand, but I didn't expect that Wang Pu Wuyong was completely a wine bag and rice bag, and he didn't encircle and suppress the thieves when he came to Ci County, not to mention, but also made Ci County a miasma. At present, the officers and troops everywhere have made meritorious contributions in combat, and only our Beijing battalion has made meritorious contributions. When the court investigates it, I am afraid that the miscellaneous family, the supervising army, will not be able to escape the blame, and ask Lord Liu to help the miscellaneous family in the face of the prince! ”

Liu Fan finally understood the reason, but how can this kind of thing help? Liu Fan had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Gonggong Lu, you should find Wang Pu for this matter!" Liu Fan is powerless even if he wants to help! ”

Lu Jiude hurriedly said, "I can help!" Can help! As long as Lord Liu says a word, the miscellaneous family will have a way to live! ”

Liu Fanqi said: "I'll just say a word?" What words? Grandpa Lu made it clear! Liu Fan is really a little puzzled! ”

Lu Jiude was a little embarrassed and said, "Well! Didn't Lord Liu win the battle? Can you mention the miscellaneous family and Wang Pu when reporting to the imperial court? Don't get me wrong, Lord Liu! We're not here to take credit from you! I just want to have a chance to get away with it! What we want, as long as Lord Liu says that the miscellaneous family and Wang Pu are also fighting! ”

Liu Fan was speechless, this is not much! This is obviously a credit grab, okay! But this Lu Jiude is Wang Chengen's person, and Wang Chengen is also kind to Liu Fan! Wang Chengen is not only more helpful to Liu Fan in the palace, but even Xiaozhu Xiaohe used to be Wang Chengen's maid, that is, for the sake of Xiaozhu Xiaohe's face, Liu Fan also wants to help Wang Chengen's subordinates. But how to help this is still particular!

Liu Fan pondered for a long time, wondering, "Father-in-law Lu, this thing is not easy to do!" This battle was fought with their lives! If I deal with this matter privately, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public! When the time comes, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to bring! ”

Lu Jiude said anxiously: "Lord Liu! You're the commander of the Broken Army, and you're not up to you to do this? We just want a little credit for the coercion of the war, and it won't affect you too much! We don't ask for your credit for nothing! Do we wrap things? 10,000 taels of silver! 10,000 taels of silver, please help me say a word, how about another captive and a set of captured weapons and a tael of silver? Lord Liu can help! ”

Poof, there's a bonus! Liu Fan originally wanted to excuse himself, pretending to be embarrassed just to let Wang Chengen remember his favor, but he didn't expect this Lu Jiude to be so impatient, it seems that they are really in a hurry. Since people are willing to pay for those rags, Liu Fan is also happy to use the waste, and the tangled look on his face lasted for a long time before Liu Fan sighed: "Alas! The prince is my Liu Fan's great benefactor, and Liu Fan still has to give this affection! When I report my merits to the court, I will also say a few kind words for you! But I also have one more thing to ask Father-in-law Lu, you also know that we have captured nearly 60,000 rogues, and these 60,000 people eat horses and chew is a big consumption, so let's do it, I don't want the silver! I'll give you some of the captured weapons, armor, and captives. As long as you get me some food!" ”

Lu Jiude was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu!" On behalf of the 8,000 people in the Beijing camp, thank you for your great kindness! ”

Although Liu Fan said that he didn't want silver, Lu Jiude didn't dare to really not give Liu Fan silver, it was better for this kind of transaction to fall into the rocks, compared to his Lu Jiude's meager face, it was still real money. And Lu Jiude also has his own careful thoughts, and this silver is not from him himself! This money is up to everyone! Since Liu Fan is so generous, he can take the opportunity to salvage.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiude said, "Lord Liu! Lord Liu is very grateful for being a righteous miscellaneous family, but after all, Lord Liu is the commander of the first army, and he still has to give an explanation to the sergeant! We must pay for this money! Otherwise, wouldn't that be causing trouble for Lord Liu! ”

Liu Fan refused: "What's the point of worrying about just a few things!" Father-in-law Lu is looking down on Liu! ”

Lu Jiude hurriedly said: "Lord Liu has misunderstood! It's not my business alone after all! There are also Wang Pu and others involved, if Lord Liu doesn't accept this silver, they may be uneasy! Lord Liu, don't refuse! ”

Liu Fanwei said, "What about the grain?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do it for you!" Lu Jiude immediately assured

Liu Fan had to say, "Okay! I will accept this 10,000 taels of silver with shame! But I can't ask for the rest of the money! Just send some food! ”

Lu Jiude finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Fan's relief, this thing is done! I thought of it in my heart, and when the time came to go back and tell Wang Pu and the others, Liu Fan not only asked for silver but also added one stone of grain per person, that is, several thousand taels of silver were put into the account, not only did the money make up for it, but also made a lot of money! Ha ha! (To be continued.) )
