Chen heard that the officialdom had a long history of taking in the expressions of the three people, and Feng Jian was slightly respectful in his expression, just like seeing his elders and relatives and friends on weekdays; And the two people standing behind him, one of whom was about the same age as Feng Jian, had an ignorant and fearless expression; Another middle-aged fat man was still trembling nervously when he saw him up close. These two people who can follow Feng Jian should be relatively close, Chen thought to himself.

Chen Suowen waved his hand slightly and said, "Feng Xiaoyou and the two strong men don't need to be formal, please sit down and talk." "Lead Feng Jian and the three of them to the Eight Immortals table for entertaining guests, and sit down with the guests.

The servant who was waiting on the side poured new tea neatly, and during this time, Chen Suowen began to look at the leader of the gourd rock thief. When this young man saw that he was a parent official, he was not at all like the trembling appearance of ordinary villagers, and he was neither humble nor arrogant.

This is impressive to Chen, which shows that this person has some knowledge, and he is worthy of being the commander of more than 10,000 bandits!

Just now, her daughter Lilan mentioned that this Feng Jian is the leader of the Huluyan bandits in Daze Mountain, and he is ready to lead the Huluyan 13,000 bandits to the imperial court.

And Chen Suowen has been in charge of Pingdu Zhizhou for a few months, and what worries him the most is that there are rampant bandits in Daze Mountain in the territory.

Groups of fleeing people gathered in Daze Mountain and evolved into a group of bandits. The bandits saw the opportunity to rob and plunder the homes of the rich gentry within a radius of dozens of miles, and some of the bandits even ambushed the official road to rob. It can be said that the bandit forces have become the source of the chaos in Pingdu, and they are the confidants of the Pingdu magistrates!

The predecessor Zhizhou spent all his money and food several times to raise troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress, but not only did not exterminate this group of bandits, but there was a tendency to expand more and more, because there were nearly 100,000 people who had taken refuge in Daze Mountain. There are more than 30 peaks and mountain bandits, and the forces of the more than 30 peaks and bandits are quite large-scale, and the officers and soldiers who come to encircle and suppress them are also taking care of one thing at the expense of the other. Moreover, the so-called officers and soldiers are also composed of some ordinary military households who lack training, and their combat power is not much different from that of the bandits. The result is naturally a feather.

Chen Suowen, the new governor of Pingdu, first faced how to solve the problem of bandits that affected local stability. But in the face of the increasingly arrogant bandits, he is also at a loss!

Just now, her daughter Lilan mentioned in her words that Huluyan led by Feng Jian is one of the strongest bandit forces in Daze Mountain, with more than 13,000 homeless bandits under his command. This Feng Jian planned to lead the people of Huluyan to return to the imperial court, and made a special trip to contact the surrender this time.

Chen was secretly frightened when he heard this, the more than 13,000 bandits in Daze Mountain are really a large bandit force, and this force really wants to rush down the mountain to besiege and loot the local rich gentry, and the government is really helpless.

Now that I heard Lilan say that these more than 10,000 bandits were ready to return to the imperial court, Chen was a little incredulous at first! These bandits really plan to surrender to the imperial court. What was the purpose of their surrender?

There is no need for her daughter Lilan to joke with herself, and once again confirmed that Huluyan was ready to surrender to the imperial court under the leadership of Feng Jian, Chen was overjoyed when she heard it, and she was worried day and night that the thieves in Daze Mountain were causing trouble to the countryside, but she suddenly heard that one of the more powerful thieves was ready to surrender, and her excitement was indescribable!

Holding back the surprise in his heart, and after a few words with his daughter, Chen got up and walked to the back hall of the official office.

If it is really like what his daughter Lilan said, this Feng Jian led more than 13,000 thieves from Huluyan to submit to the imperial court. That will not only be of great benefit to the improvement of public order in Pingdu, but will also be of great benefit to the performance appraisal of the political side of the country. Hehe, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

What Lilan said was unknown, and he had to personally contact this Huluyan Commander to understand. Find out why he led his people to submit to the court, and what requirements did he have after conversion? But you can't let the other party see through your excitement and urgency!

Feng Jian and Chen Suowen looked at each other for a while, Feng Jian was a farmer in the rest of his life. Neither knowledge nor patience can be compared with a person like Chen Suowen who has been immersed in officialdom for many years.

Seeing that Chen had been stroking his beard and smiling, he couldn't help but speak first: "Lord Zhizhou may not know the origin of the villain. Villain ......"

Chen shook his hand and said with a smile: "Feng Xiaoyou doesn't need to say it. You wait for the origin and the purpose of coming here, just now this official has heard the little girl Lilan say, you are Feng Jian, the leader of the Huluyan bandits! ”

Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became cold and said: "Bold thief, this official is worried that he will not be able to capture you, but I didn't expect you to throw yourself into the net, and if you are caught, it will be a great harm to the people of Pingdu." ”

Cheng Yousheng Pan Zhaonian, who was sitting beside Feng Jian, jumped up at the same time when he heard this, Cheng Yousheng was a newborn calf, he rolled up his sleeves and glared at this Chen Shuowen and said: "These officials are just unreliable, we have worked hard to escort him back to his daughter, but this official master in turn will take revenge, it is really hateful!" ”

Pan Zhaoying stood up in fright, he stared at Chen Suowen tremblingly, and looked like he was about to kneel and beg for mercy.

Feng Jian was a little surprised, this Chen Zhizhou was full of joy when he entered the door, and suddenly changed color after saying two sentences, which was obviously threatening and intimidating the three people, if he really wanted to capture the three people, where would he waste his tongue.

After all, Cheng Yousheng and Pan Zhaoying are bankers who have never seen the world, and they immediately revealed their true colors when they were slightly provoked by Chen's words.

Feng Jian turned his head and scolded Cheng Yousheng and said: "Shut up, how can you be presumptuous in front of Lord Zhizhou, it is true that we are thieves, but we are preparing to return to the imperial court, because Lord Zhizhou does not know, so it caused a misunderstanding." ”

As he spoke, he got up and said deeply to Chen Suowen: "Feng Jian is willing to lead more than 13,000 people in Huluyan to return to the imperial court, please accept it." As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Suowen.

After waiting for a while, I didn't hear what Chen was saying, and when I looked up, I saw this Lord Zhizhou stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile.

Suddenly, he said: "The official sees that Feng Xiaoyou is the same age as the little girl, and the official asks you to be a good nephew, how about you call the official an uncle?" ”

Feng Jian was a little stunned, this Chen was still shouting and shouting to kill just now, and in a blink of an eye, he was uncharacteristically related to himself, this first and then his face changed too quickly!

After thinking about it, calling himself a virtuous nephew is treating himself as a nephew, he is a little thief, and the other party is a dignified five-grade Zhizhou, this is to promote himself. This shows that Chen Suowen is more demanding of himself.

Just by sending Chen Lilan back, he will not let Chen Suowen lower his value and make friends with him, and the rest can only be the problem of Huluyan's old and young returning to the imperial court. More than 10,000 people in Huluyan have returned to the imperial court, and they will surely remove a big worry about Chen Zhizhou! In fact, this Chen Zhizhou is full of expectations for his side's submission! Feng Jian figured out what was going on at once.

Knowing the other party's situation in itself illustrates many problems, and I don't know what purpose Chen Sowen deliberately covered up. Feng Jian was a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't lose his courtesy. Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Since Lord Zhizhou looks up to the little nephew, the little nephew naturally doesn't dare to refuse." ”

Chen Suowen deliberately said with a straight face: "Why do you still call Lord Zhizhou!" ”

"Oh, uncle!" Feng Jian didn't adapt to this change of identity for a while, and he was a little reluctant.

Chen Suowen carefully observed Feng Jian's every move, and with years of experience, he realized that this thief commander did not seem to be a treacherous person, and even showed a trace of immaturity in some aspects.

That's fine. In Chen Suowen's view, the other party took the initiative to submit to the imperial court, and there must be a lot of additional conditions, some of which are reasonable and of course can be agreed, but the conditions that cannot be done can neither be rejected nor agreed, so from the very beginning, Chen Suowen put pressure on Feng Jian and the three of them to check their words and looks, and now they finally understand the other party's behavior.

Chen Suowen smiled slightly. Picked up Feng Jian and said: "Virtuous nephew, please take a seat, you must be tired and hungry for a long time to escort the little girl!" Come, first seated. Let's talk about the specifics in detail.

smiled and said to Cheng Yousheng and Pan Zhaoying: "These two strong men also sit down, it turns out that the virtuous nephew is ready to lead Huluyan to return to the imperial court, which is a great thing." Your submission to the imperial court will definitely affect the surrounding bandit forces. You must not dare to be evil casually! ”

Cheng Yousheng sat down, but at this time he seemed a little cramped and uneasy. Pan Zhaoying wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and sat back in her seat, looking at Chen Shuowen with palpitations.

Chen Suowen ignored the two of them anymore, and concentrated on asking Feng Jian about some specific situations of Huluyan, and Feng Jian naturally avoided the important and trivialized.

Once the more than 13,000 bandits in Huluyan are returned to the imperial court, it will greatly improve the situation of the rampant bandits around Pingdu, if the means are used properly, let the bandits who return to Shun go to exterminate the bandits who are still entrenched in Daze Mountain, attack the thieves with thieves, and solve the big trouble without the help of the government.

Chen Suowen was in the main seat, and when he saw that Feng Jian and the three of them were already seated, he picked up his wine glass and said; "At the end of the year, the official office has ceased to work, and the official industry has been sealed, so the official has to be idle today, and today he held a family banquet to thank the virtuous nephew and the heroes of Huluyan for saving the little girl. Come, the official first respects the virtuous nephew and the two strong men for a cup. ”

Feng Jian pouted secretly: "Hmph, this old fox must be full of expectations for Huluyan Toucheng, but on the surface, he pretends to be indifferent!" See how long you can endure! ”

These people in the officialdom are all elite characters, and the level of playing Tai Chi and playing pushers is incomparable. It's obviously a simple and straightforward thing, but in their hands, they have to make a few detours and play a few dumb riddles to make people fall into the clouds before they want to stop!

The matter of leading Huluyan to the imperial court is obviously very beneficial to the Pingdu realm and to Chen Suowen himself, but the other party still has to go around in a big circle, the purpose is that he is afraid that he will not be able to meet the conditions proposed by his side, so he pretends not to care, Feng Jian gradually understands.

Hearing Chen Suowen, the first sentence of raising the wine glass was to thank himself for saving Chen Lilan, the corners of Feng Zhen's mouth twitched inadvertently, didn't he save Chen Lilan with the intention of contacting and dating this parent official, and now it should be said that his original intention has been achieved.

Feng Jian hurriedly stood up from their seats with Cheng Yousheng and Pan Zhaoying each holding a wine glass, Feng Jian said: "Saving Miss Chen is also an accidental move, and the little nephew and others don't dare to toast as Lord Zhizhou." ”

Chen pretended to be displeased when he heard this: "Feng Xian's nephew is not visible, the official has already said that today is a family banquet, you and the two strong men don't have to be restrained, you should accompany your elders to drink and chat." ”

Feng Jian was able to adapt very quickly, and he said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the New Year is approaching, and the little nephew will borrow this glass of wine to wish Lord Zhizhou a prosperous official fortune in the coming year, and he will rise step by step!" ”

Cheng Yousheng Pan Zhaoying on the side did the same, and raised a glass together to congratulate Chen on what he heard.! (To be continued......)
