Chapter 382: Whistleblowing
Night fell, Zhang Lang was still in the study looking at the report on all aspects of the situation in the Nanzhong region sent by Taishou during the day, a lot of bamboo slips! Zhang Lang was dizzy to see, but he was still very happy, after all, according to the report on the bamboo slips, the situation in all aspects of the Nanzhong region is still very good! Agriculture has developed by leaps and bounds, the Han Chinese settled population has continued to increase, and commercial and trade activities have returned to the levels before the Nanzhong Rebellion.
Zhang Lang put down the bamboo slip and rubbed the corners of his eyes.
Dong Ying, dressed in military uniform, came in from outside, hugged her fists and said, "Big brother, there are people outside asking to see you." ”
Zhang Lang felt very strange, "It's so late, who is it?" ”
"It's a Han merchant."
Zhang Lang pondered for a moment and said to Dong Ying: "Bring him in." Dong Ying promised, retreated, and came in with a middle-aged man a moment later. The man was only about 1.5 meters tall, thin, hunched at the waist, roe deer, and looked like that kind of profiteer.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw Zhang Lang, he immediately saluted: "The villain Ah Fu greets the general, long live the general......
Zhang Lang waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, get up and talk." ”
"General Xie." Ah Fu stood up. Hurriedly hugged his fist at Zhang Lang and said: "The villain is specially here to report a confidential matter to the general!" The general is now in a very dangerous situation! ”
Dong Ying frowned. Zhang Lang smiled, "Why am I in a very dangerous situation?" ”
Ah Fu looked left and right, looking mysterious. Zhang Lang said angrily: "These are all my confidants, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
Ah Fu responded, hugged his fists and said: "Zhu Rong and Meng Shu conspired to harm the lord!" ”
Dong Ying was taken aback. Zhang Lang looked calm, and said lightly: "Do you know what you're talking about?" Framing an important general under my command will be sentenced to death! Ah Fu hurriedly knelt down and swore to the sky: "If the villain has half a lie, he is willing to be punished by heaven, and the sky will not be able to die if the sky thunders and splits!" ”
Zhang Lang couldn't help but wonder when he saw him look solemn and swear such a poisonous oath again. The ancients swore not like modern people, the ancients feared ghosts and gods, and they did not dare to swear by curses.
Zhang Lang asked, "What is your identity?" ”
Ah Fu hugged his fists and said: "The villain is from Xiangyang, he went to Xichuan ten years ago to do business, and now he is doing some leather and medicinal materials business in Nanzhong. ”
Zhang Lang said coldly: "You are a small businessman, how can you know such an important and confidential matter?" ”
Ah Fu hurriedly said: "What the villain said is true, if there is half a lie......"
"Okay, all you have to say is how you found out about this confidential matter."
"Yes." After a pause, "On that day, the female guard of the Queen's Palace found the villain, ordered a lot of medicinal materials to cure women's diseases, asked the villain to send them over, and then paid the fixed money. After the villain cleaned up, he led a man to the palace in the afternoon with two loads of medicinal herbs. After putting the herbs in the storeroom, a female guard paid the balance and told us to leave on our own. The two of us headed for the back door. Unexpectedly, when passing by a courtyard wall, I heard two women talking in a whisper, one of them said: The queen and the king are ready to join forces to take Lu Bu. Then another woman said: I don't know if it will work? Then the woman from before said: It will definitely succeed, Lu Bu only has a thousand guards by his side. The villain was frightened to death when he heard these words, and hurried away. Ah Fu swallowed, "Villain, villain didn't want to get involved in this matter." But then I thought about it, and I really couldn't watch the general fall into the trap of the Southern Barbarians, so I risked death to denounce it! ”
Dong Ying hurriedly said: "Big brother......"
Zhang Lang raised his hand and motioned to Dong Ying to be silent for the time being. Stood up, walked up to Ah Fu, and looked at him, "Stand up and speak." ”
"Yes." Ah Fu stood up.
Zhang Lang said: "According to what you said, that guy under your command should have heard those words?" ”
Ah Fu nodded, "The villain has already ordered him, don't talk nonsense." ”
Zhang Lang said to Dong Ying: "Send someone to bring that guy." Dong Ying clenched her fists and left the study.
Zhang Lang glanced at Ah Fu, "This matter is very important, I can't just listen to you." Ah Fu hurriedly bowed: "The villain understands." ”
Not long after, a strong young man in a green cloth shirt was taken into the study by Dong Ying and shouted, "Don't you want to see the general?" The young man was startled and quickly knelt down, "Villain, villain, meet the general!" He bowed down as he spoke.
Zhang Lang glanced at him and asked, "Not long ago, you and your master went to the Queen's Mansion to deliver medicinal herbs?" Niu Da straightened his waist and nodded, "The villain, the villain and the owner sent two loads of Chinese medicinal materials to the queen, both of which are to treat women's diseases!" ”
Zhang Lang glanced at Ah Fu and asked Niu Da: "When you left, did you hear two women talking?" ”
Niu Da nodded, and said humbly: "I heard it, but the villain can't sue you, and the owner won't let you say it." Ah Fu hurriedly shouted: "If the general wants you to say it, you can say it!" Then he explained to Zhang Lang: "My guy is not bright, and I ask the general for forgiveness." ”
Zhang Lang smiled: "It's okay. Asked Niu Da: "What did those two women say?" ”
Niu Da then said what he heard that day, and the content was roughly the same as what Ah Fu recounted.
Zhang Lang was silent for a moment and said to the two: "Your intelligence is very important!" When it's over, I'll treat you well! ”
Ah Fu was overjoyed and said: "It is the honor of the villain to be able to serve the general." Niu Da on the side saw his master bowing down, and hurriedly followed.
Zhang Lang glanced at the two of them, "You guys go back first." Don't go anywhere lately, maybe I'll be useful to you. Also, don't divulge what you hear to anyone! ”
Ah Fu clasped his fists and bowed: "The villain obeys the general's orders. The villain retired. Standing up, Niu Da also stood up. The two of them bowed and withdrew.
Zhang Lang looked at the backs of the two of them, his brows furrowed.
Dong Ying couldn't help but say, "Big brother, we have to get out of here quickly!" ”
Zhang Lang showed hesitation. I went back to the book case and sat down. Dong Ying stepped forward and said urgently: "That barbarian woman has already colluded with Meng Huo, this place is already very dangerous, the eldest brother must leave immediately!" ”
Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes, "It's hard to say that this matter is harmful." ”
Dong Ying was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Does the eldest brother think that those two people just now were lying?" Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Isn't this possible?" That Ah Fu, the roe deer rat, as long as he has money, anyone can buy him, that cow is big, wooden and dull, if Ah Fu tells him how to say and do, he will definitely draw a scoop according to the gourd! ”
