Liu Min, the governor of the barbarian clan, has been under tremendous pressure in the past few days, although Guo Jia did not immediately ask for the crime, saying that the matter needs to be investigated before making a decision, but he still stripped him of all the rights in his hands, put his entire mansion under house arrest, and could not go anywhere.

He is now in the prime of life, but his temples have added a few strands of gray hair in just a few days.

"The hosts! Master! An old servant walked briskly into the study, his voice full of joy.

Liu Min was a little depressed, his hair was scattered, his eyes left the scroll on the table with the servant's shout, and he raised his head: "Fu Bo, what's the matter?" ”

The old servant's face was full of excitement, and he said quickly: "Back to the master, Jiang Taishou led the troops to Ningyuan, came to visit, and is currently on the way into the house, the old slave came first to report the good news to the master!" ”

"Hey!" Liu Min sighed, he understood the reason why the old servant was happy, but he knew his situation even better, and immediately shook his head bitterly: "Fu Bo, my cousin can't save me when he comes, if the barbarian rebellion can't be properly resolved, I will definitely be in trouble." ”

The old servant had followed the Liu family for many years and was loyal, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Master, no matter what, if Jiang Taishou is willing to help plead for mercy, there is always a glimmer of hope!" ”

"Useless!" Liu Min was very sure, but then he still squeezed out a smile: "But no matter what, my cousin is coming, I should also greet him, let's go!" ”

Liu Min walked out of the main courtyard with the old servant, walked through several gardens and rockery courtyards, and finally met Jiang Wan who came in a hurry in the corridor.

Jiang Wan was anxious, but suddenly saw Liu Min from afar and found that his hair was scattered, his clothes were disheveled, and his face was disheveled. Full of decadence. Immediately angry. reprimanded loudly: "Liu Min, what kind of system have you become with such a sloppy appearance!" ”

Liu Min smiled bitterly, and stepped forward depressedly: "Cousin! ”

Jiang Wan didn't care so much, and scolded himself angrily: "How can I have a cousin like you who is not a human or a ghost." ”

"Cousin, I've stepped into the coffin with half a foot, it's not that I'm not a human or a ghost, but what is it?" said. Liu Min's face was already even haggard.

"Humph!" Jiang Wan was even more annoyed when he heard this, and said angrily: "You look like this, even if the lord has the intention to spare your life, when he sees you, he will want to kill you!" Since you have made a heinous mistake, why are you still waiting for death if you don't try to make up for it quickly? ”

"Make amends?" Liu Min was under a lot of pressure in his heart, and he was also trained to be angry at this moment, and said, "How to make up for it?" Guo Junshi has already reported to the lord and relieved me of my responsibility. How can this be compensated for by being under house arrest? ”

"Foolish. Very foolish! Jiang Wan's lips trembled with anger. Guo Junshi is a strange person in the world, and he puts everyone in your family under house arrest, even the servants, haven't you thought about the deep meaning? ”

"Meaning?" Liu Min was stunned.

Jiang Wan hated the iron and said urgently: "If there is no deep meaning, why don't you be directly detained, but instead put you under house arrest from all the relatives and servants?" This is giving you a chance to atone for your sins, not only do you not grasp it well, but you waste the good intentions of the military advisor, you are really innocent! ”

"This ......" Liu Min was extremely surprised, only feeling that his head was chaotic, but when he heard that there was a glimmer of life, his eyes suddenly became a little angry. I hope my cousin will save me! ”

"I can't save you, only you can save yourself!" Jiang Wan took a deep breath, and then asked sharply: "Did Guo Junshi ask earlier, did you ask if your family's servant ratio had decreased before the incident?" ”

"Asked!" Liu Min couldn't take care of his anger anymore, and hurriedly replied.

"Then are there fewer servants in your family than before the incident?" Jiang Wan asked rhetorically.

"Nope! Not a single one is missing! ”

After Liu Min finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned, he was also a talented person, but this time the situation was strict, and he felt that he was going to die, so he lost his usual judgment ability under heavy pressure.

At this moment, Jiang Wan nodded at him, and soon came to his senses, and exclaimed: "Could it be that someone from my family eavesdropped on the leak of the news, and Guo Junshi put my family under house arrest, suggesting that I must find out this person and find out the clues?" ”

"You're not hopeless!" Jiang Wan sighed. "Guo Junshi is a minister, he can't help you explicitly, this has given you a chance to live, if the thief is captured before the lord goes south, and then the cause and effect are traced, and the merit is made up, there is a glimmer of life. If not, why bother making such a big fuss and just taking you into custody. ”

"The old barbarian king of Wuxi will go north immediately when he sees you, and the people who know the itinerary are only you except themselves, otherwise Shamoke and the others are not stupid, why should they insist that it is the general's mansion that wants to kill him? Just by the words of the Assassin's mouth to be so sure, not even the slightest question? Are you stupid enough to be an old barbarian king to find an heir, but you don't even have the most basic wisdom? ”

"From what I learned from the military advisor, it is either that Shamoko is ambitious, and he planned it all by himself, or you leaked the news here. There is also a traitor among the accompanying warriors of Shamoko, but this possibility is extremely small, and he must be trusted by the old barbarian king as an accompanying guard. ”

"I also know something about the old barbarian king, he is a very wise and cautious person, and the personal guards he leads have very little chance of going wrong, and as a barbarian, he is very worshipful of the holy totem, and generally will not allow any destruction and humiliation of the totem!"

"Although the totem is not broken now, it has fallen into the hands of that group of assassins and is missing, so it is unlikely that the barbarians will have such problems, even if Shamoke is ambitious and wants to cause chaos, he does not need to use the totem to do this kind of thing. So ......"

After saying so much in one breath, Jiang Wan paused and looked at Liu Min with a solemn gaze. "So, you are the biggest target of suspicion here, no matter what the facts are, at least you have to do it first to get that glimmer of life."

After such a guidance, Liu Min has regained hope, and thanked him quickly: "Thank you cousin for your order!" ”

"No, a quick investigation is the right thing!" Jiang Wan waved his hand, then frowned and said: "What happened at this time, the old barbarian king's decision to pass on the throne is a recent decision, and there is no need to discuss it with you at all, if you decide, you can directly report to the General's Mansion and ask for approval for canonization." ”

"He came to look for you, it should be because you have been friends for many years, so he temporarily decided to borrow your attitude to visit my Jingzhou, so it is impossible for someone to install a detailed work here with you early, if it is not for this coincidence, wouldn't it be meaningless?"

"So, it should be the spy who appeared after the news of the succession leaked from the barbarian side, I wonder if you have bought a new servant recently?"

Liu Min also thought quickly, but quickly shook his head: "No, the servants in this mansion have followed me for many years, and the last time I recruited a servant was two years ago, and every time I recruited a servant, I had to strictly review his origin." ”

"So, if you really leaked the news here, it's the old servant." Jiang Wan's eyes flickered, and he was silent for a long time before he suddenly said: "The old servant is easy to handle, which means that the person who leaked is definitely not a dead man, so the biggest possibility is that he was threatened or bought." ”

"Give me all the information about your servants, and I will help you to find out what is going on in their house. As for you, you will secretly observe every servant in the palace to see if any of them are disguised. Also, secretly tap the number of servants to see if anyone is confused! But remember, do it in secret. ”

"Don't worry, cousin, brother understands!" Liu Min finally regained the shrewdness that the governor of the barbarian clan should have, thought about it, and then looked back at the only old servant who was following him at this moment: "Fu Bo, you have watched me grow up since I was a child, and I can trust you the most at present, so I bother you to help me secretly lightly increase the number of servants, okay?" ”

"Master rest assured, the old slave will be dead!" After this Fu Bo finished speaking, he hesitated, but suddenly said loudly: "In fact, the barbarian king came that day, and the people who had been in and out of the courtyard where the master's study was located during the period were all known to the old slaves. ”

"Oh?" Liu Min was stunned, then showed surprise on his face, and said quickly: "Fu Bo, how do you know?" ”

Fu Bo showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Master forgot, for so many years, every time a distinguished guest comes, unless the old slave is not in the mansion, is it the old slave who receives it himself?" Speaking of which, the old slave is actually among the doubts, but it's okay, the old slave can't run, the lord checks me! ”

Liu Min immediately waved his hand: "What are you talking about?" You have served my father to me for decades, and you have never had any errands, even I was brought up by you, and taught me to read and write since I was a child. ”

Hearing this, Na Fu Bo smiled and shook his head meaningfully: "Military affairs, the secret of life and death, there is no room for the slightest difference." When the old master was alive, he once said that the most unlikely things often happen the most, so the master should not be like this, now such a major event, it should be investigated, no one can let go, and the old slave will not have the slightest complaint. ”

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Wan couldn't stop admiring: "Fu Bo is such a loyal and wise person, but he is willing to submit to the Liu family as a servant, it is really a blessing for the Liu family!" ”

"Jiang is too good at keeping his reputation!" Fauber smiled humbly.

Liu Min was even more moved. "Fu Bo, after so many years, the Liu family owes you!"

"No, I owe! Don't owe! Faulle shook his head. The old slave was chased and killed by the green forest villain when he was young, and his life was saved by the old master, and the old master treated me even more well, and made a home for me, so that I could have children, and the children and grandchildren were full. ”

After speaking, Fu Bo didn't want to say more, and bowed: "In this case, the old slave will retreat to investigate first, and I hope that the master will remember the old slave's words, everyone must check, don't make a mistake into a thousand hatreds!" As for the people who appeared near the lord's study that day, because it involved the master's family, after the thieves infiltrated after the investigation, the old slave told them one by one. ”

Liu Min didn't say anything more this time, and made a big bow to Fu Bo deeply.

After watching Fu Bo's figure go away, Jiang Wan turned around. "Liu Min, listen to Fu Bo's admonition, everyone must investigate, even if it is your wife and concubine!"

"If the news really came from you, and you confirmed that it was not told to anyone, then someone must have eavesdropped, and you will give me the information on the origin of the servant, and I will check the situation outside for you!"

"Thank you, cousin!" Liu Min bowed, and then unintentionally procrastinated, and rushed to the study with Jiang Wan in a hurry...... (To be continued......)
