Xiao Fan's expression was very satisfied when he left the wing, and he felt that his attitude towards Zhang Hongqiao was very correct. In the future, according to this example, I will watch her lick a banana every day, just look at it but not enter it, of course, if she needs anything, Xiao Fan will never refuse.

For this kind of woman of unknown origin, it is necessary to keep a certain distance and vigilance, regardless of emotional factors, no one wants to sleep with a woman who secretly harbors ghosts or even murderous intentions, it will be fatal. Peerless beauties are not good, no matter how beautiful the patterns on a snake are, its essence is still a snake, who dares to sleep with it?

- Of course, Xu Xian doesn't count, not only do people dare to sleep, but they also make the belly of the big white snake bigger, which proves that he is a very great person, Xiao Fan can't compare.

threw Zhang Hongqiao in the wing, Xiao Fan ordered two clever little maids to serve her, and ignored Zhang Hongqiao.

Beiping is a dangerous place, Xiao Fan is not stupid enough to sink under Zhu Di's nose, as a court minister, he has a lot to do.

With Xiao Fan's entry into Beiping, there were more Yanwangfu troops outside the Qin Mission, they were under the banner of protecting Qin Cha, but in fact, they were closely monitoring Xiao Fan's every move, and there were many more vendors outside the Jietai Temple, selling fruits, selling fat powder, and many people wearing ordinary people's clothes walking around outside the temple, bargaining with the hawkers in their mouths, but their eyes kept glancing at the temple.

Of course, these tricks can't hide from Xiao Fan's Jinyiwei pro-army, Jinyiwei's old business is to stare at people, track, and monitor, they are the ancestors who do these things, in the eyes of the pro-army, the guards of Yanwangfu are too unprofessional to do these things, and they show their feet everywhere, which is simply ridiculous and generous.

When the pro-army reported the matter to Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan smiled and lightly ordered them to go.

In the next few days, Xiao Fan wore official uniforms brightly, played the honor guard of Qincha, and visited several border army camps outside Beiping City, but it was under the banner of the army on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

This sign was too big, and Zhu Di was inconvenient to object, so he had to send someone to secretly pass down the military order, and no one in the Beiping Yan Army was allowed to talk too much with the Qincha, and no one was allowed to disclose to anyone the number of soldiers in the battalion, the hoarding land and quantity of grain and grass, and other sensitive military topics.

The soldiers of Beiping who got the secret order were all speechless, no matter how kind and humble Xiao Fan was in the army, he could not get any valuable information, and the Yan army let Xiao Fan touch a soft nail that was not too big or small.

Xiao Fan didn't think it was wrong, this result was originally expected, if they really poured beans into a bamboo tube and said whatever they asked, then it was called a ghost.

The guard of honor went out of the city and returned to the city, no one found that among the 3,000 guards of honor and pro-army, there were more than 100 people unconsciously, all of them when the guard of honor passed through the most crowded street market, more than 100 pro-soldiers quietly disappeared among the people watching the excitement, changed into civilian clothes of the people, and then slowly paced out of the city gate in a low-key and leisurely manner, and disappeared into the villages, farmland and grass outside the city.

Xiao Fan sat in the car, through the back window of the carriage, he saw that Jinyiwei's subordinates had quietly integrated into the people, Xiao Fan put down the curtain, and an unpredictable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, - Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, the net has been cast, whether you can catch big fish, it depends on the ability of your subordinates, Xiao Fan is very confident in them.

In the evening, a peddler carrying fruits and vegetables came to Jietai Temple, the dealer wore a hat, covered his whole face tightly, and in front of the guards of Yanwangfu, he swaggered and carried the burden into the back kitchen of Jietai Temple.

After entering the back kitchen, the dealer did not dare to delay, hurriedly threw down his burden and walked quickly to the Qin Cha Xingyuan behind the temple.

At the side door of Xingyuan, Xiao Fan's pro-army was already waiting, and when he saw the dealer coming, he nodded at him, didn't speak, waved his hand and led him into the side door and brought him to Xiao Fan.

"Villain Wang Gui, kowtow to Commander Xiao." The peddler took off his hat and bowed his head.

Xiao Fan frowned and said, "Wang Gui? Wang Gui of the Chen family's firm? ”

Wang Gui raised his head, showed a flattering smile, bowed his body and said: "Lord Xiao is easy to remember his surname, and the villain can be remembered by a noble person like you, it is really the villain's ancestral tomb that is smoking." ”

Xiao Fan suddenly sank his face and said coldly: "It's good for the official to remember the surname, but, Wang Gui, your surname seems to be very bad!" Have you forgotten what I said? If you open a rice shop in Beiping and buy and sell the Yan army's military rations, you just have to do your business honestly, and don't meet with the official, who will send someone to find you when he needs you. Do you ignore the words of your own officials? ”

Seeing that Xiao Fan's expression was not good, Wang Gui hurriedly knelt down again, and said in fear: "My lord, stop being angry!" When the villain came, he didn't attract anyone's attention, and the villain didn't want to disturb the adult, but the shopkeeper Chen said that the matter was important, and the villain must report to you in person, please make up your mind......

Xiao Fan's expression suddenly became solemn: "Chen Ying'er asked you to come to see me?" What happened? ”

Wang Guiyu said: "My lord, when the villain was still in the south last month, King Yan sent someone to pass an order to the villain, saying that from this month onwards, the Yan army needs a large amount of grain, and in the past, only more than 1,000 stone of grain was needed every month, but this time King Yan needs 10,000 stones, and every month in the future, it will be procured according to this amount. ”

Xiao Fan's brows furrowed deeply, and he said, "More than a thousand stones become ten thousand stones?" Need 10,000 stone per month? ”

"Exactly."

Knocking on the table unconsciously, Xiao Fan's heart suddenly chuckled, and his heart sank suddenly.

Zhu Di is now ready to stock up on grain!

What does this move mean? It means that he has begun to make the final preparations for the rebellion, if the grain and grass are hoarded enough, just wait for Yan Jun to practice, he will rebel!

The situation is getting more and more serious!

Xiao Fan frowned and said, "How many places does King Yan have to hoard grain?" ”

Wang Guidao: "There are more than a dozen places in the entire Beiping Mansion, such as Xuanfu, Chengping, Baoding, Jizhou, etc., and the garrisons in various places have special grain and grass warehouses for sergeants. ”

"How did you hand over the grain and grass you usually said to Yan Jun?"

"The villain only needs to send the grain and grass to the western suburbs of Beiping, and the grain and grass officers of the Yan army will receive it, and then they will send people to distribute the grain and grass to the garrisons in various places in Beiping Prefecture......"

"Are all the grain and grass that Yan Jun eats supplied by you?"

Wang Gui smiled: "How is that possible? There are so many people in the Yan army, it is impossible for the villain to take this deal alone...... However, the villain has been in contact with the Yan army for more than a year, and has gradually gained the trust of the king of Yan, and the price of the villain's food is much lower than that of others, so now nearly seventy percent of the grain and grass eaten by the Yan army is supplied by the villain......"

"And who's going to supply the thirty percent?"

"It was all purchased by the generals of the Yan army from the local grain merchants, but most of the grain and grass had to be operated by the western suburbs of Beiping."

Xiao Fan's heart became heavier and heavier, more than a dozen places to hoard grain, it seems that it is definitely not possible to burn it with fire, at most one or two places will not hurt Zhu Di's vitality at all, he wanted to cut off Zhu Di's grain channel, so he sent Wang Gui to take the business of supplying Yan Jun's grain and grass in his hands, Chen Ying'er also made great efforts to deliberately lower the price of grain to supply Yan Jun, which made Zhu Di relax his guard and gradually handed over most of the grain and grass procurement to Wang Gui.

Now it seems that the grain road of the Yan army is not so easy to break, there is not only Wang Gui in the world, Wang Gui does not supply grain, more grain merchants cry and shout to take over the procurement rights of the Yan army, Xiao Fan originally planned to think of a way to scare away the big grain merchants around Beiping, so as to indirectly help Wang Gui form a monopoly in Beiping, so that Zhu Di had to rely on Wang Gui to supply grain, which is tantamount to choking Zhu Di's neck.

It's a pity that the time is too short, Zhu Di's pace is too fast, and many things are too late to do.

Xiao Fan felt a deep loss in his heart, could it be that the chess pieces that he had painstakingly planted more than a year ago had become a waste chess in the blink of an eye?

Xiao Fan is unwilling, very unwilling!

He has never failed to harm others, and he has failed one after another, and it is a shame for him to not be able to break the record here in Zhu Di.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Fan suddenly asked, "Do you know how the grain and grass eaten by the soldiers of the Yan Army are made?" ”

Wang Gui smiled and said: "My lord, you can be regarded as asking the right person, the villain has been dealing with the Yan army for more than a year, although the villain has never been allowed to enter their camp, but the villain is very familiar with the grain and grass officials in the western suburbs camp, once he drank too much and told the villain the practice of marching food......

Xiao Fan's eyes gradually lit up, and he said with interest: "How is the marching food made?" ”

"Generally, the grain and grass weight of the rear is sent back to the grain and grass every half a month, which is mainly rice, mixed with a little wild vegetable bran, when there is no war, every hundred households are two pots, and the rice is made on the spot, if there is a war or march, then the soldiers are given dry food, the dry food is to grind the rice bran into flour, and then add some seasoning, after repeated steaming and drying, rub it into a pill and put it into the soldier's bag, you can take it out and eat it at any time, according to the grain and grass officer, this practice has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, the book of soldiers says, this thing is called 'soldier food pills'......"

"Soldier Food Pills......" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, his expression thoughtful, but his eyes brightened a lot.

"Is the salt they eat in this food pill too?"

Wang Gui nodded and smiled: "Yes, the soldiers are fast, they don't have time to bury the pot to make rice, they can only eat hard dry food, but if there is no war, the salt they eat is not directly put into the pot, but put a cotton cloth into the salt water in advance and boil it several times, the cloth absorbs the salt, when making rice, you only need to tear off the corner of the cotton cloth and throw it into the pot, this pot of rice has a salt taste......"

Xiao Fan suddenly realized: "So that's ......"

Don't say I don't know, but this time it's really insightful.

Wang Gui naturally knew that there was a deep grudge between Xiao Fan and Zhu Di, and seeing that Xiao Fan asked so carefully, he couldn't help but understand a little, and stepped forward and smiled: "Do you want to use your brains on King Yan's grain and grass?" ”

Xiao Fan patted Wang Gui on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Well, this official has just made a wise decision, I plan to send you to sneak into the Yan army camp, steal all the cotton strips they use to absorb salt, and then replace them with used menstrual belts......"

Wang Gui's legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a pale face: "My lord, spare my life!" Although the villain usually eats, drinks and gambles, the villain is not guilty to death! ”

Xiao Fan laughed and said: "Okay, this official scared you, with your skills, you will be shot into a sieve by others before you enter the Yan army camp......"

Rolling his eyes, a rather shady idea gradually took shape in his heart.

Since a move has been lost, it can't be abolished, maybe this Wang Gui will be of great use...... "Don't go first, wait for me here, I'll go back to ......"

Xiao Fan didn't look back, so he walked to the wing room on the right side of the line.

Syllable!

Xiao Fan unceremoniously kicked open the door of the empty room.

Taixu was so frightened that his face turned pale, he covered his heart and looked like he was about to die, and glared at Xiao Fan in shock and anger.

Xiao Fan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said carefully: "Master, did I scare you?" ”

Taixu gritted his teeth and burst out word by word: "What do you say? ”

Xiao Fan turned his head to look at the door, and said hesitantly: "Why don't you ...... I'll go out now, and then Sven knock on the door and come in? ”

Tai Xuan said: "No need, the poor Dao has already pinched his fingers and calculated, you are my calamity......"

Rolling his eyes, he snorted too vainly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Fan's expression changed suddenly, with a bit of flattery, and said with a smile: "Master...... Is there any medicine? ”

was too vain for a moment, and then sighed gloomily: "A good cabbage, finally let you arch!" ”

Xiao Fan was stunned: "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

Tai Xuan said with contempt: "You still said that you won't touch her, you have to take medicine, what kind of decent man and gentleman are you pretending?" Bah! ”

Xiao Fan opened his mouth wide: "............"

Taixu looked sour, snorted a few more times, and casually took out a small porcelain vase with blue and white from his arms and handed it to Xiao Fan, saying, "Take it!" Every grain is served, and the warm water is served, which can keep the house for a long time, and fight until dawn night and night! Little bastard, why do you ask for so many daughters-in-law if you don't have that ability? ”

Xiao Fan took the porcelain vase, was stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly stuffed the porcelain vase into his arms, and then said solemnly: "Master, you misjudged me!" I'm definitely not that kind of person, I really haven't touched that girl from the Red Bridge! …… I wanted a different medicine. ”

"What medicine?"

"Is there that kind of powdered, colorless and tasteless medicine mixed with food, which can make people gradually lose their spirits and have weakness in their limbs, but the doctor can't find anything wrong......

After thinking about it for a while, he was suddenly furious: "This is clearly something that the flower thieves in the rivers and lakes use to harm the women of good families, what do you want this medicine for?" In front of such a big official, what kind of woman do you want? Why bother with such a heavy taste! Lose virtue and degrade! ”

Xiao Fan wiped his sweat and said, "Master, you misunderstood, my taste has always been very light......"

Tai Xuan righteous shouted: "You call this light? Our Wudang is a famous and decent family, the kind of medicine you want is a crooked thing from the evil sect, as a disciple of Wudang, the moral surname is so low, do you want to cause Wudang to be ruined? ”

Xiao Fan was in a cold sweat: "Master, I really didn't mean that......"

"Say! …… Which girl do you like? Poor Dao helped you steal it in the middle of the night, why do you have to use medicine? People give it to you, and leave it to me, can it be done? ”

Xiao Fan: "............"
