Luo Fan returned to the Shuaifu, Cen Jiu touched his beard and said that the handsome and the envoy were talking to Wu Tianfu.

"Why don't you go?"

"I'm afraid I can't help but strangle that kid, Lao Tzu is a hero, and the thief is also a man, how can he give birth to such a straw bale son."

Cen Jiu grabbed the big pu fan and snorted hard, looking at Luo Fan and suddenly laughing, he smiled a little strangely: "It's really good to make adults popular, that kid is much better when he sees him." ”

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment: "Which kid?" ”

"Wu Tianfu."

Cen Jiu said mysteriously: "It seems that it is good for this person to be good-looking. Haha, Wu Tianfu may be a good man. ”

Luo Fan's face immediately changed: "Jiu Shuai, please be careful." ”

"Hahaha, I'm kidding, kidding."

He patted Luo Fan on the shoulder: "I see that the two Qincha are young, I don't know if they have ever been married?" There are several nieces in our family, who are the same age as the two adults, and that talented woman is quite suitable. ”

Before he finished speaking, Luo Fan had already gone to the main hall,

Cen Jiu shook his head and sighed, rotten wood cannot be carved.

Cen Dashuai and Zengshou are not in the main hall, but in the backyard study. They sat very casually, and did not wear official uniforms, Cen Dashuai was dressed in the homely clothes of a scribe, and looked very elegant, and Zengshou was dressed as a noble son, dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, and his hair was tied with a gold crown, which made him look even more powdery and spring-eyed. Wu Tianfu sat on the side, a little restrained, his eyes floating, looking east and west.

"Your Excellency." Cen Guopu smiled and pointed to the chair next to him, "Please sit down, let's chat with Brother Wu together." ”

Wu Tianfu, who was called Brother Wu, lowered his head when he heard this, and his body curled up.

Luo Fan sat down beside him, Wu Tianfu was trembling all over, he was a cowardly person, he felt very sensitive, and keenly found that it was a military general sitting next to him, which made him uncomfortable.

"Brother Wu, tell me how you escaped." Cen Guopu is kind and pleasant.

Wu Tianfu nodded and shook his head again.

"Let's just talk about family things, don't be nervous."

"I ......"

Wu Tianfu opened his mouth to look at Luo Fan, twisted his body and lowered it deeply, saying that he didn't raise his head or speak without saying anything.

"Brother Wu, you are younger than my son, you can call me uncle."

Cen Guopu looked kind.

After a while, Wu Tianfu said in a mosquito-like voice: "I'm afraid, I want to ...... The sixth brother spoke. ”

"Sixth brother?" Luo Fan looked at Zengshou, who smiled slightly, unfathomable.

Cen Dashuai laughed: "Okay, okay, then you talk to the adult." Saying that, Luo Fan had no choice but to stand up and walk out with Cen Dashuai.

"This Wu Tianfu is actually still a child, this is to see that the adult looks good, looks much gentler than you and me, looks like a good woman, can make people let go of fear."

Cen Dashuai seemed to be talking to himself.

Luo Fan thought: Huh? Does Zengxiao Liu look very gentle?

He had never noticed the problem in the past. After all, when they first met, Zengshou was a sloppy face, very bad, and then he spoke coldly along the way, and then he showed wisdom and courage, all of which have nothing to do with gentleness, and now listening to Cen Dashuai's words, Luo Fan sighed in his heart, just in the rubble in the Feng Niangzi embrace, he suddenly thought that this woman was not even as beautiful as Zengshou, so pretentious, and even more aesthetically boring, thinking like this, is it really normal?

"Where did the deputy envoy come from?" Cen Guopu asked with a smile.

Luo Fan asked stiffly: "Does the handsome know about Yulan Lane?" ”

"Tianjing City is too big, there are too many alleys, and the old man can't remember it."

Can't remember! Your people robbed the last fire in the city for three days and three nights, and you can't remember!

Luo Fan's heart was on fire: "That alley and several surrounding alleys were once filled with rich families, but on the day the city was broken, it was destroyed. ”

Cen Guopu raised his eyebrows and paced slowly with his hands behind his back, and let out a casual sigh.

"Do you know why this alley was destroyed?"

Cen Guopu stood up and looked at him with a smile: "Does the deputy envoy want to hear the truth?" ”

He calmed down: "Deputy envoy, how long has the Heavenly Saint Sect been suffering?" ”

"Ten years."

"How long has my Cen family army resisted the enemy?"

"Seven years."

"How much food and salary did the imperial court allocate to me seven years ago, and the deputy envoy could consult the archives before he came?"

Luo Fan and Zeng Shou were originally packed and thrown out of Beijing with black eyes, and they didn't know these things at all, Luo Fan shook his head blankly: "I don't know." ”

"Yes, no, not at all, the imperial court encourages local regimental training, the Cen family army is all my hometown children, I Cen Guopu scattered all the family wealth to recruit, everyone follow me, on the one hand, to defend the township, and the other is to make a fortune, the court requires food and salary to raise their own, what do you let them rely on to make a fortune."

Luo Fan was stunned, this was something he hadn't thought about beforehand.

"That'...... Nor can it be ...... to the common people."

"Not only the common people, but also the local wealthy families, they have all been arrested or tortured or asked their families to give money to ransom, they have done it, but these are all they deserve." Cen Guopu raised his voice, "They used to be enemies, the rich land in Jiangnan, they handed over all their taxes to the thieves, if they didn't have their money to support, how could the thieves occupy Jiangnan for so many years, they supported the thieves' silver, how many people and soldiers were killed, what is it if they ask them to give some money, it is already very merciful not to let them die." ”

"But what I see is that money is also needed, and life is also required, and the area east of the city is in ruins."

"Who told them not to pay for it obediently? The bandits of the Heavenly Saint Sect will give money if they want it, and the officials and soldiers will come to rescue them, they will not take the initiative to send the silver and try to resist. ”

Cen Guopu patted Luo Fan on the shoulder: "The old man and your father have had a few encounters, young man, don't be impulsive, think about my words." ”

As he spoke, he walked away, leaving Luo Fan stunned on the spot.

In the main hall, Wu Tianfu asked in a low voice, "Won't you really kill me?" "As long as you behave well and know that you can say anything, the court will pardon you, after all, you have not done anything." Longevity fooled him.

"Yes, I haven't done anything, sixth brother, I want to study, I want to take the Xiucai exam, I want to be a good official in the future, I am a good official, my father was not admitted to Xiucai back then, he actually doesn't understand anything."

Wu Tianfu let out a sigh of relief after speaking: "Will the imperial court give me a chance?" ”

"Okay, you will study with me and live in my house in the future, and you will be able to take the exam and be an official in the future, and you will definitely be able to do it."

Zengshou directly drew a big cake for Wu Tianfu, and the young man's eyes lit up suddenly: "Sixth brother, you are so good, my father is not good to me, he married a lot of virgins, two virgins, three virgins, four virgins, there are more than seventy virgins, he also married me two, I like it at all, I forgot what they look like, I was taken away by Shi Tianwang when the city was broken, and my two wives may be dead." ”

Wu Tianfu sighed: "It's really pitiful that they followed me, I don't like them at all, I like ......

He lowered his head shyly: "I like the sixth brother...... When I saw the sixth brother, I was not afraid of anything. I just want to be with my brother for a long time. ”
