Xu Yan's words are to return to him what Tian Fan said about taxation a few days ago. Didn't you say that if one person does not pay taxes and is not punished, the rest will follow suit, and Xuzhou's taxes will not be collected? The incident between Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan has even affected the public security of Xuzhou and the confidence of outsiders in doing business in Xuzhou, isn't this even more serious?

Tian Fan suddenly understood that this matter was all done by Xu Yan! Liu Bei must have been persuaded by him, so he was moved, and only then did he punish Zhu Yuan and Wang Zi with unprecedented severe means.

Liu Bei looked at Tian Fan with some embarrassment, and said, "Boguang, what Xu Yan said is reasonable!" Zhu Yuan has made great contributions, I naturally know. However, if his behavior is not big, it is not small, if it affects the development of my Xuzhou business, isn't it a big crime? That's why I punished him with unprecedented severity! As for Wang Zi, he couldn't understand my hard work, and he threatened him with death, hehehe...... I, Liu Bei, will fulfill him! ”

Tian Fan shook his head slowly and said, "Lord, what Mr. Xu said, yes, but it's not right!" ”

Xu Yan smiled angrily and said, "What does Mr. Tian mean by this?" Could it be that I, Xu Yan, said it wrong? ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Mr. Xu, you listen to me first, and when I finish speaking, it's not too late for you to draw conclusions!" ”

Xu Yan snorted hatefully, turned his head and ignored Tian Fan.

Tian Fan said: "Lord, what Mr. Xu said is reasonable, but his reasoning is not suitable for Xuzhou!" ”

Xu Yan said angrily: "How can this be ......?"

Tian Fan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”

This voice shook all four people in the hall!

Xu Yan blew his beard angrily and glared, pointed at Tian Fan's hand and trembled, and only after a while, did he say, "Vertical ...... The shaft actually insulted me! ”

Chen Qun also lowered his face and said: "Boguang, if you are reasonable, you can be reasonable, how can you insult people?" ”

Liu Bei's face also sank, and he said, "Boguang, you ......"

Tian Fan hugged his fist to Liu Bei and said, "Lord, Lord Liu Da only gave me an hour, if I can't ask for mercy within an hour, then Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan will die!" Wang Zi came out of my own barracks, and Zhu Yuan is a side branch of the Zhu family in the Jiangshui Temple, so I have to care about them! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "If Mr. Xu keeps interjecting, how can I finish speaking?" Wait a while, if my words are wrong, I will personally kowtow to Mr. Xu to make amends. But now he can't interject! ”

After speaking, Tian Fan's eyes flashed, and his gaze swept towards Xu Yan like substance, Xu Fan trembled, and immediately became honest!

Liu Bei listened to Tian Fan's words, and immediately understood his mood, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Okay, Boguang, you go on, Xu Yan, don't interject!" ”

Xu Yan reluctantly clenched his fists and said, "Yes, lord!" ”

Tian Fan said: "Thank you, lord! Lord, what Mr. Xu said sounds very reasonable at first glance, but his reasoning does not apply to my Xuzhou! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "My lord, the fundamental reason why my business in Xuzhou is developed is that we have things in Xuzhou that are not available elsewhere. Soap, soap, liquor, sea salt from Gungun, etc., these are not available anywhere else, or the price is much higher than ours.

"My lord, you can think about it, there are many people who come to my Xuzhou to do business, many of them are people from our opposing forces, and they come to do business to make money, because our things in Xuzhou can make them rich! These people are mainly people from various clans, every time they come, they will bring a large number of guards, and we in Xuzhou also provide them with enough protection, they will naturally not be afraid of two people with swords like Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan. Naturally, he will not slap his ass and leave because Xuzhou's public security is slightly unsatisfactory. …,

"It's the nature of businessmen to seek profit. They came to get rich, not to take refuge. Even if there is little danger, they will not stop there. Besides, the security of our Xuzhou is much better than that of other places, if they still think that the security here is not good, it can only be said that they are not satisfied! ”

Seeing that Liu Bei's face was somewhat relaxed, Tian Fan hugged his fists and said: "My lord, Zhu Yuan and Wang Zi are guilty, but the punishment of the decisive decision is really a bit heavy!" Whoever asks the lord to think twice! ”

After listening to this, Liu Bei did not answer immediately. After pondering for a long time, he also felt that Tian Fan had to be reasonable, and he couldn't help it, he was a little ashamed, hugged his fists, and said: "What Boguang said makes a lot of sense!" If you don't think about it, you almost killed the hero by mistake! ”

He said: "Zhong Kang, you go and give an order, release Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan, and let them come to the General's Mansion to see me!" ”

Xu Chu hugged his fists and said: "Order!" After speaking, he nodded to Tian Fan and strode out of the main hall.

Xu Yan hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Lord, this ......"

Liu Bei glared at him and said, "I misheard what you said, and almost killed a good person in vain, what kind of face do you have to put nonsense here, give it to me!" ”

Xu Yan was embarrassed, he didn't put down the fist he was holding, his face was blue and white for a while, and for a while, he glanced at Tian Fan hatefully, threw his sleeves and walked out of the main hall.

Tian Fan was extremely disdainful of him, and even ignored him. At this time, Tian Fan understood that he had offended Xu Yan there!

In order to put an end to corruption, Tian Fan gave Liu Bei the profits of the soap business, and Liu Bei listened to Tian Fan's advice and established a clean government treasury with the profits of the soap business. Xuzhou's civil ministers and military generals who have functions and registered have all doubled, and the extra double is from this treasury. And this vault is in charge of Mi Zhu.

Xu Yan thought he was Lu Bu's person, and Lu Bu was close to Tian Fan, so he had the cheekiness to find Tian Fan and ask him to help talk to Mi Zhu and send more to himself. Of course, Tian Fan refused, so this feud arose.

This is another typical raw rice enmity fighting rice hatred! This honest treasury is fundamentally built by Tian Fan with his own money, and it is a favor to everyone, but some people ......

Xu Yan is borrowing this matter to give Tian Fan eye medicine! Who made Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan both Tian Fan's people?

Seeing him go out, Tian Fan hurriedly hugged his fists and said to Liu Bei: "Thank you for the great grace of the lord for the two of them!" ”

Liu Bei smiled, helped him up, and said, "Boguang, this matter is my fault, I shouldn't have listened to Xu Yan's words, I almost hurt Zhongliang!" ”

Tian Fan hugged his fists and said: "Lord, you can't say that!" The lord is worried about the future of my Xuzhou, and Lord Xu is the same. Maybe he's biased, but his intentions are good! Tian Fan suddenly felt that he had become hypocritical, obviously hating Xu Yan, but still speaking for him......

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Boguang really has the style of a gentleman!" ”

"Lord, lord, I have something important to report!"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Xu Yan, who had just gone out, went and returned!

I saw that this guy's face was full of excitement, and his eyebrows flew and danced, because of the excitement, his face was red with excitement, and his steps couldn't wait to jump!

Liu Bei, Tian Fan, and Chen Qun couldn't help but be stunned, what's going on with this guy?

Xu Yan was full of smiles, glanced at Tian Fan proudly, came to Liu Bei in small steps, and said respectfully: "Lord, the reason why Yan is here is that there is a big thing to report!" ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and said with some disgust: "Tell me if you have something!" ”

Xu Yan glanced at Tian Fan cautiously, leaned into Liu Bei's ear, and was about to speak.

Liu Bei took a step back abruptly and said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it loudly, what can't you say to others?" ”

Xu Yan was almost flashed by Liu Bei, he smiled awkwardly, and whispered: "This is not good for Mr. Tian, the lord ...... it"...,

Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned, he glanced at Tian Fan, and said, "Say it out loud, what bad things can Boguang do?" ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he nodded again and again, rubbed his hands together, and said loudly: "Mr. Tian let his horse gallop in the city and injured passers-by, but he didn't get off the horse for treatment. A well-wisher passing by stepped forward to stop him, and he also drew his sword to kill people! ”

Liu Bei was stunned and looked at Tian Fan in disbelief.

At this time, Tian Fan's face also turned cold!

Liu Bei asked hesitantly: "Boguang, is there such a thing?" ”

Tian Fan's face turned pale, and he hugged his fists and said: "Lord, after Fan arrived at the execution platform, Lord Liu Da gave me an hour of time, which was very abundant, so Fan did not let the horse run quickly, but let the horse jog in small steps!" ……”

Glancing at Xu Yan, Tian Fan said: "As for what Mr. Xu said about bumping into someone, hehe, that person suddenly appeared in front of my horse, but he almost bumped into it." However, my dark clouds cover the snow is a peerless horse, and I myself react quickly, so I avoided the danger and did not hit it! Hehe, then, a dozen people with swords and swords suddenly appeared, trying to reason with me. I have something to do, I report my name, and I want to compensate afterwards, but ...... But they don't want to! When I finally broke through their encirclement on horseback, the so-called wounded man immediately fled, faster than the uninjured man! ”

He looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice: "As for drawing a sword to hurt people, I didn't hurt anyone, but I did draw a sword!" ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Lord, I know that the Xuzhou decree prohibits the bright blade of the sword, but I still draw the sword!" Lord, do you know why I drew my sword? ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Tian Fan's face was extremely ugly, he finally knew who instructed those people, it was Xu Yan! This guy not only slandered Liu Bei and wanted to kill Zhu Yuan and Wang Zi, but also prepared himself to come to the rescue, and specially prepared a group of people on the street to perform porcelain touching to drag him down. As long as time passes, even if Tian Fan's intercession is successful, Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan are already dead!

He looked at Xu Yan and gritted his teeth and said, "I reported my name, and the first one of them said, 'Tian Fan, a cat and a dog?' Haven't heard of it! ’”

Xu Yan was trembling by him, and hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look at him.

Tian Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I, Tian Fan, ......"

Liu Bei yelled: "Presumptuous, lawless, simply lawless!" How could Boguang be so humiliated? As he spoke, he looked at Tian Fan and said with a righteous indignation: "Boguang, don't say that you didn't do it, you just showed your sword, even if you really killed them, I don't blame them at all!" ”

After that, he glared at Xu Yan angrily and said, "Xu Yan, where are those people?" ”

Xu Yan trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord...... They...... They're right outside the General's Palace! ”

Liu Bei yelled: "Someone! ”

Outside the door, the little colonel turned to come in, clenched his fists and said, "No! ”

Liu Bei's face turned pale, and he said, "I killed a few people outside the mansion for me, I don't want to see them!" ”

The little colonel clenched his fists and turned away.

Xu Yan was so frightened that he didn't even dare to let out a fart!

Liu Bei looked at Xu Yan, snorted coldly, and said, "You, let me go home and think about it behind closed doors, I don't want to see you again!" ”

Xu Yan hurriedly ran away.

Liu Bei watched him crawl away, then he straightened his face, took Tian Fan's hand, and said gently: "Boguang, you have been wronged!" Hehe, you must not go to your heart, you must do the work, but you are not allowed to be lazy! ”

Tian Fan hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for upholding justice for me, everyone will do his best!" ”

Chen Qun also smiled and said: "Yes, Boguang, although you have suffered a little grievance, but the lord has presided over justice for you, you must not slack off!" I know you're lazy, but the lord values you so much, you can't live up to the lord's trust and value! ”

Tian Fan's heart was tired for a while, why did Chen Qun speak so unpleasantly? But he still clenched his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Wen for reminding me, if you know!" ”

After a while, Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan were brought in, and the two first knelt down to thank Liu Bei for not killing, and then thanked Tian Fan for interceding.

Liu Bei could sit there and comfort him, but Tian Fan couldn't, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the two of them up.

Chen Qun's seat was very close to Liu Bei, and seeing Tian Fan walking towards Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan, Chen Qun hurriedly came to Liu Bei's side, whispered something in his ear, and then rushed back to his seat.

Wang Zi and Zhu Yuan were seven or eight steps away from Liu Bei, Tian Fan stepped forward to help them, and they were also seven or eight steps away from Liu Bei, and what Chen Qun whispered in Liu Bei's ear couldn't even be heard clearly by Xu Chu, who had just rushed back and stood behind Liu Bei again.

However, Tian Fan heard it!

"Lord, in this way, the two of them will only be loyal to Boguang!"
