Gong Zihong came to find Chu Mannu for another purpose.

It's one thing to ask.

Then Gong Zihong told him about the beggar official, and as he spoke, he paid attention to the expression of the Chu barbarian slave.

But Gong Zihong couldn't see anything from Chu Mannu's face.

"You don't think this has anything to do with me." Chu Mannu said.

"Not you?" Gong Zihong said.

Chu Mannu was puzzled: "Why do you think this matter has anything to do with me." ”

Gong Zihong also revealed his puzzlement: "Regarding this matter, I have also investigated, in addition to this crazy official errand, Master Fan of Liu Mansion, as well as those officials who accompanied him to Nanshan Village, have not yet returned, I guess they may have had an accident." ”

Chu Mannu: "There is indeed this possibility, are you doubting that I did it?" Don't you think there's a more questionable object. ”

Gong Zihong: "You mean Nanshan Village?" ”

"Yes, as far as you said about the crazy official, he went to Nanshan Village to become like this, and you also said that your wife who didn't pass through the door met her on the street, she is from Nanshan Village, and things are so coincidental, don't you think there is a problem here."

Gong Zihong lowered his head and pondered, just looked at Chu Mannu inadvertently from the corner of his eyes, and said in his mouth: "You really have some truth when you say this. ”

"There are some things I don't know whether to say or not."

"You say."

"I think Nanshan Village may be scheming on you."

Gong Zihong raised his head suddenly and looked at Chu Mannu, "How can you say this." ”

Being looked at by Gong Zihong, Chu Mannu's eyes were a little evasive, and he said: "I'll just talk about it, I'm not you, how do you know what the specific situation is between you and Nanshan Village, you have to think about some things yourself." ”

Let others think about it for themselves, but they can't say why, they just start a bad way, which is leading people to think badly.

Gong Zihong really thought about it in his heart, but quickly put down this thought and said, "I want to ask you for a favor." ”

"The matter of the county order and Huai'en Temple, if it is true, it is naturally a good thing, and I will take Huai'en Temple down then."

"But there is no letter for this matter, and I can't rashly go to Huai'en Temple to make trouble."

"But if it's someone else who is making trouble, then I have an excuse to quell the chaos and investigate Huai'en Temple to the bottom of the sky."

"Do you see what I mean, I need your help."

Chu Mannu: "You mean to let my people go to Huai'en Temple for trouble, so that you can take advantage of the situation." ”

"If the matter of Huai'en Temple is nothing, you are going to suppress the bandits, and the name is justified, but if Huai'en Temple really has such a thing, you can catch the sore feet of the county order."

Gong Zihong: "That's true. ”

"I can help, but what good do I have, you know, it's taking my people to risk."

"Of course, there are benefits, there is a lot of oil and water in Huai'en Temple, you can take as much as you want, and when the time comes, I will symbolically suppress the bandits, and the custody will not really hurt your people, and the city gate can also let your people enter and exit."

These words, let outsiders listen to them, it can frighten people's hearts.

This is the endless consequences of the collusion of soldiers and bandits.

Soldiers are the umbrella of the people, and the security of the whole city is responsible for them.

And the bandits are the sworn enemies of the people, and wherever the bandits go, the people are struggling to make a living.

Now.

The soldiers and bandits colluded.

Just like what Gong Zihong said to Chu Mannu.

When the bandits were suppressed, they walked out of the scene, and opened the city gate to let people leave.

How terrible is that.

This means that Min County will live precariously.

"If that's the case......" Chu Mannu pretended to think before saying, "Deal." ”

And so it was decided.

Chu Mannu will let the tile bandits enter the city to rob Huai'en Temple, and when the time comes, Gong Zihong pretends to send troops to suppress the bandits, but in fact he wants to find out the old bottom of Huai'en Temple.

It's a take-and-take deal.

Chu Mannu was able to grab money from Huai'en Temple, and Gong Zihong was able to have a chance to deal with the county order.

On the way back.

Gong Zihong said to Yan Liangping: "Do you think there is a problem in Nanshan Village?" ”

When talking to Chu Mannu, he had thought about this question, but he didn't really think about it.

"This thing is really weird, and I can't rule out the possibility." Yan Liangping made his own analysis.

Gong Zihong smiled: "It seems that even you were deceived by her, her performance in this play is really good." ”

Yan Liangping was puzzled: "Lied? Acting? ”

Gong Zihong: "Don't you see it, it's still a plan to sow discord, let me ask you, do I have a conflict with Nanshan Village, Nanshan Village has always been a benefit from me, I helped solve the problem of food, and I helped sell honeycomb coal." ”

"This ...... Quite right. ”

"That's right, the reason is as simple as that, if you leave me, what is Nanshan Village, how can you calculate me, if you really want to calculate me, you are digging your own grave, if it were you, would you do this."

"Naturally, it won't."

"Yes, unless you are an idiot and a fool, who would do this, Chu Mannu is obviously sowing discord."

"Sow discord? Childe means ......"

"It means that Chu Mannu wants me to be suspicious of Nanshan Village, so that she can take advantage of the situation and snatch Nanshan Village away, she sees that Nanshan Village has the benefits she wants."

Yan Liangping: "Interests? If you want to say that Nanshan Village can make the tile bandits take a fancy to it...... Is it a weapon? ”

Gong Zihong: "It's not just weapons, Nanshan Village doesn't have any bricks and cement now, I have thought about it, if this kind of thing is used well...... Have you ever thought that you can use this brick and cement to build a city wall? ”

"The young master is saying...... This, it seems, really works. ”

"Understood, there are weapons, bricks and cement, today's Nanshan Village is like a place where soldiers must fight, do you say that this is useless for Chu Mannu, Chu Mannu's idea of fighting Nanshan Village is not taken for granted, you don't want to think about it, why Chu Mannu sent food to Nanshan Village, this is obviously intentional."

"That's really what the young master said."

Gong Zihong: "Did you notice just now, when I looked at her, she obviously didn't dare to look at me." ”

Yan Liangping: "Is this a thief?" ”

"Yes, it's a thief with a weak heart, and she did it all the time, and she even talked about Sun Youniang, saying that she happened to have a problem with the official."

"It's true that there aren't so many coincidences in the world, but if she arranged it."

"I don't want to think about what happened to Sun Youniang, and it wasn't that she deliberately approached me, it was me who proposed to marry her."

"If you really want to calculate, I'm also calculating."

"When I marry Sun Youniang, it means that the Gong family wants to marry Nanshan Village."

"From an outsider's point of view, it was the Gong family who lost and Nanshan Village made a profit."

"But actually, as I said, Nanshan Village is like a battleground for soldiers, which is what the Gong family needs."

"Do you think I'm going to marry Sun Youniang, just to find a reason to speak, even if there is no reason to speak, Sun Youniang and I will marry the same, only in this way can Nanshan Village and the Gong family be tied together."
