Liu An hurriedly opened the system inventory to find out if there were any strange things to bribe Gongsun Zhan, and finally took out two bottles of perfume.

There is no handwriting on the perfume bottle, the whole body is translucent purple, the bottle is delicate and small, it looks very beautiful and elegant, and it is just right to put it in the clothes.

Liu An sprayed a few times on his body, and there was a light and elegant fragrance in the air, which was essentially different from those pungent perfumes in later generations.

Putting the perfume into his clothes, Liu An hurriedly walked to the door.

Gongsun Zhan was standing under the Zhuang Gate, and Liu An approached and said ashamedly: "Brother is coming, An has missed the distance, what a sin!" ”

"Where is the virtuous brother, my brother took the liberty to disturb, but it was abrupt."

The two were polite, Liu An invited Gongsun Chan to enter the village, and then instructed the Zhuang people to clean up the room and come out, and then prepare the wine and food table, etc., saying that they wanted to have a drink with Gongsun Zhan.

It's just that Liu An ordered in front of Gongsun Zhan, obviously telling him that there is no room for hospitality in the village, and if you want to drink wine and eat meat, you have to prepare it separately.

Liu Anzhuang has a lot of weapons hidden on it, as well as many high-yield crops, and he doesn't want to be seen by Gongsun Zhan.

When Gongsun Chan heard Liu An say this, he really didn't want to go deeper into the manor.

He heard from his subordinates that Liu An himself still returned to live in his old mansion every day, and the village was full of victims taken in by Liu An, so he couldn't get clean.

Gongsun Chan refused Liu An's invitation and stood near the village gate to talk to Liu An.

The breeze hit, and Gongsun Chan smelled a faint fragrance wafting from Liu An's body, and asked curiously:

"Where is this fragrance?"

Liu An took out a bottle of perfume from his clothes and said: "This is a strange thing that An got from a foreign country, and it will spray a fragrance when you press it lightly, if your brother likes it, you will give it to your brother." ”

In ancient times, this kind of fragrance was still quite popular, don't you hear the place where Xun Lingjun was a guest, and the remaining fragrance will not be dispersed for a few days, so as to leave the allusion of Xun Ling?

Gongsun Chan took the perfume and sprayed it a few times on his body under the guidance of Liu An, and suddenly the fragrance lingered all over his body, and Gongsun Chan said happily: "Haha, then thank you for your brother!" ”

After the two exchanged a few words, Liu An went straight to the point and asked, "Brother is visiting today, but there is something important to find An?" ”

"That's true." Gongsun Zan replied: "The imperial edict has arrived, and Ling Wei's brother will leave for Liaoxi Taishou on a certain day, and he will leave in a few days." After my brother left, my virtuous brother was left without care, and I couldn't rest assured for my brother! ”

Liu An didn't believe that Gongsun Zan came specifically for this matter, if this was all he wanted, he only needed to send someone to summon him to the county office, and there was no need to come to the door in person.

However, Liu An did not debunk it, and congratulated Gongsun Zhan: "Congratulations on my brother's promotion!" ”

"But what about the virtuous brother? The new county magistrate will arrive in March at most, and these hidden households in the virtuous village will definitely not be able to hide it, and if so many people pay taxes according to the law, they are afraid that they will have to pay sky-high taxes every year. ”

Liu An was also distressed, and the new county magistrate didn't know if it was easy to get along with, if he was a greedy and unscrupulous person, he couldn't take a bribe, wouldn't it be in vain.

Liu An looked up and saw that Gongsun Zhan seemed to be confident, so he said, "Please also ask my brother to teach me." ”

"For the brother to go to Liaoxi, one of the county lieutenants is willing to go with the brother, then one of the two county lieutenants in Zhuo County is vacant, and the county order cannot be appointed or dismissed by itself, and then go to Luoyang to show the neighbor as the county lieutenant, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. I thought it was a brother......"

Gongsun Zhan's voice dropped slightly when he said this, and said in a low voice:

"The virtuous brother may wish to rush to Luoyang before his arrival, go to Luoyang to take the post of the county lieutenant, the virtuous brother is the Han clan, if the brother will be the virtuous brother to retreat from the thief to show the court, and then write a letter of recommendation to introduce the virtuous brother to my teacher Lu Zhi Lu Shangshu, there is my teacher in the court to help the virtuous brother speak, the virtuous brother will be able to win the post of Zhuoxian county lieutenant! At that time, the virtuous brother will be an official of the imperial court, and the new county commander will not be able to move the virtuous brother. ”

In the Han Dynasty, the large county was placed as two county captains, and the small counties were placed as one county captain, and Zhuo County was obviously a large county in Youzhou.

Liu An thought about it, and felt that it was a good way, and if he could win the post of county lieutenant, the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be famous two years later, and there was no need to rely on others.

Liu An bowed deeply to Gongsun Zhan and said, "Thank you brother for your advice!" ”

Then Liu An said: "My brother is promoted, and my foolish brother should prepare a congratulatory gift." Gao Sheng, go lead me to the horse! ”

After giving instructions to Gao Sheng, Liu An continued to say to Gongsun Zhan: "The foolish brother bought a fine war horse from a foreign country and dedicated it to his brother, I wish my brother a smooth journey!" ”

Gongsun Zhan knew that Liu An's things from foreign countries were extraordinary, and he couldn't help but have some expectations for this excellent war horse.

After a while, Gao Sheng brought Liu An's horse back and forth home on weekdays, and Gongsun Chan saw that it was indeed a good horse, much taller than the war horse he was riding now, and he was also a stronger man, with extremely shiny hair, and he was a good horse at a glance.

Liu An asked Gongsun Chan to test ride, but Gongsun Chan did not shirk, and couldn't wait to take the reins of the horse, turn over and get out of the manor.

When he came back from a gallop, he was full of spirit and heroism, and he dismounted and said to Liu An with a smile: "This horse is a brother and loves it very much!" ”

"If my brother likes it, it's fine." Liu An then asked: "In addition to this matter, does my brother have anything else to teach my foolish brother?" ”

Gongsun Chan handed over the reins of the horse to his subordinates, and said with a cautious face: "Brother Wei, I heard that there were thieves who attacked the manor of the virtuous brother yesterday?" ”

Liu Anxin said, sure enough, for this matter, he replied honestly: "But there is such a thing." ”

"That thief is powerful, how did the virtuous brother repel the thief?" Gongsun Chan said at this time, and the expression on his face became more solemn.

"Oh?" Liu An asked with a strange expression: "That thief is powerful?" Brother, who did you listen to? ”

"It was found by my brother's men from the people who live nearby, didn't they?" Gongsun Zhanhu was suspicious.

"No, no, no." Liu An shook his head and smiled, and said serious nonsense: "Yesterday, I came to attack the thieves, all of them were armed with farm tools, yellow faces and thin muscles, and the only leader rode a few horses. ”

"Is that so?" Gongsun Chan is still suspicious, but he is about to go to Liaoxi, and this matter has nothing to do with him anymore, looking at Liu An's tone, no matter whether there was yesterday or not, how much loot there is, he is not going to take it out.

And Gongsun Chan has got a BMW today, and it is not in vain.

"I don't want that foolish man to talk nonsense and fool the people under my brother, so go back for my brother and find out the foolish people who spread rumors, and I will definitely be severely punished."

"Why don't you have lunch before you leave?" Liu An said politely.

He knew that what Gongsun Chan said was also kind words, but he was just looking for an excuse to leave.

Even if he went back, it would be impossible for Gongsun Chan to bother to investigate for this trivial matter.

Today, Liu An has given Gongsun Chan a good horse and a bottle of perfume, these two things, in the eyes of a court official like him, are obviously more valuable than the unwarranted loot.

After all, even if Gongsun Chan wanted to arm his subordinates, he could ask the court for money or materials, but strange things had to be bought with his own money, and even money might not be able to buy them.

Gongsun Chan refused Liu An's invitation and asked Liu An to go to the county government tomorrow to get a letter for recommendation and meritorious service, and then rode a new BMW and left.
