Although Liu Bei was slightly drunk, he also knew the severity, he quietly glanced at Liu Jian, and saw that Liu Jian did not raise any objections, so he relieved his heart.

Gongsun Chan is very arrogant.

"The two virtuous brothers have something, even if they say it, there is no inconvenience! The three of us, brothers. ”

Liu Bei immediately told them that on the way to greet Gongsun Zhan, they found out about Xianbei and Taihang Liukou, and picked up important things and told Gongsun Zhan about them.

When Gongsun Chan heard this, his brows were tightly knit, and his expression was quite solemn.

After a moment of silence, he said, "You captured a Xianbei man alive? ”

"Exactly."

"Bring him in, and I'll question him personally."

Liu Jian gave a look, and saw Zhang Fei get up and leave, and after a while, he escorted the Xianbei man who was captured alive.

Gongsun Zhan stood up and stood in front of the Xianbei man, and with a mouth, he actually spoke fluent Xianbei and interrogated.

Zhang Fei was startled and said in a low voice: "Don't you want this Gongsun County Jun to speak Xianbei language?" ”

Liu Jian lowered his voice: "What's so strange about this, don't you forget, he was the governor of Liaodong before." ”

The subject country is the administrative area set up by the two Han Dynasty for the resettlement of the Xiongnu, Qiang, Wuhuan and other people, the subject country does not set up too guard, only sets up the management of the governor, there are Cheng, Hou, Qianren, and nine translation orders, directly under the Luoyang Imperial Court, and the state and county do not have much intersection, and the local is two sets of teams, the domestic jurisdiction of the people can not be forced into service, and the tax is also preferential.

As for why, it is naturally because the main role of the subject state is not to raise the Han people, but to raise the Yi.

As the governor of Liaodong, if you don't understand the words of the people, you can't even carry out your work, which is the most basic ability.

Gongsun Zhan has dealt with Wuhuan and Xianbei too much over the years, how to interrogate the other party, and what methods to use to threaten and lure, he knows better than anyone else.

Sure enough, the Xianbei man was still stiff-mouthed under Gongsun Zhan's interrogation at the beginning, either not speaking, or just briefly replying a few words.

But as time passed, the Xianbei man gradually couldn't hold on anymore, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks.

In the end, I don't know what the Xianbei man muttered, and Gongsun Zhan showed a satisfied expression.

Subsequently, Gongsun asked his knights to investigate the vicinity according to what Liu Jian and others said, and to take the dead bodies nearby as evidence.

After arranging these things, Gongsun Zhan looked at Liu Jian and Liu Bei with a smile: "This matter is handed over to Brother Wei, you can rest assured, as for the merit of catching the thief Hu, when I enter the county office and hand over the official business, I will write to the Ming Mansion Jun, you can rest assured." ”

After that, he ordered someone to escort Hu Qi down and continue drinking with Er Liu.

Nothing else.

Liu Jian said secretly in his heart...... Sure enough, things were thought of as simple as oneself.

Liu Bei was young and vigorous, and said: "Brother Bogui, I don't need to hide it, I don't need a reward from the county office, I just want to have the opportunity to be loyal to the Han, so that I can live up to the ambition of a man, and ask my brother to help!" ”

Gongsun Chan smiled and said: "It's a good thing that Xuande has such ambitions, don't worry, this matter has been written down by my brother, and I will do it after I enter the county office the next day." ”

If you think about it again, these four words can be described as profound.

It is neither a promise nor a disagreement, which makes you unwilling, and you can't refute the urging.

Urge? Urging is also these four words.

When it came to this, Liu Bei didn't want to ask any more, he looked at Liu Jian rather depressed.

Liu Jian didn't care, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Thank you, brother, let's drink a lot!" ”

"Okay, this is like a man! Drink! ”

……

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Jian and others returned to Zhuo County with Gongsun Zhan, and after arriving, Gongsun Zhan led people to the county office to take office.

Liu Jian and Liu Bei could only return home and wait for news.

As soon as they entered the house, Hu called the two over and scolded Liu Bei in front of Liu Zhou.

"Xuande, I asked you to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony at home, but you sneaked out to talk about it, do you think that my aunt can't control you?"

Liu Bei said respectfully: "Aunt misunderstood, my nephew is not playful, but just ......"

"No excuses! I will punish you to go to the back barn to think about it for ten days, and within ten days, you are only allowed to eat one meal a day, do you accept it? ”

"My nephew didn't dare to disagree."

"Don't dare? If you dare, you will still be unconvinced? ”

"No, no, my nephew is convinced."

"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Ah Bei."

Liu Jian saw that Hu blamed Liu Bei, and hurriedly defended him: "Ah Bei was dragged by the child, and the child went to see the county gentleman by himself, and he was really worried, although we are classmates, but the child is very different from him in age, and now he is a county honor, and the child is afraid that he will not greet him well, so he specially called Ah Bei, and he has nothing to do. ”

Hu pursed his lips tightly, his expression very ugly.

This is being demolished by his own son.

Liu Zhou played a round on the side: "Forget it, it's just that the two children go to the meeting window, let's be elders, can we still tie the children's hands and feet?" ”

"You still say!" Hu was reluctant to scold the child, and he couldn't bear to let Liu Jian go to the cowshed to think about it, so he turned to anger at Liu Zhou: "If it weren't for your old habit of using them too much, how could they be so stubborn?" ”

"I'm used to it?" Liu Zhou hated to give his wife an ear scrape, obviously you are too protective of the calf, right?

"It's not that you're used to it, is it me?" Hu's eyes showed a bit of fierceness.

"Okay, I'm used to it, I'm used to it......"

"Father, mother, child, and prepare to go back and clean up, and then go to the cowshed to think about it for ten days."

Hu Shi said distressedly: "What do you think, don't forget it." ”

Liu Jian shook his head stubbornly: "No, inevitably!" Zongsheng's words: I am three times a day, and I am not loyal...... The saints are still always introspective, and we do not respect the orders of our parents. ”

"You're still doing it...... If you want to starve, you go! ”

Hu was aggrieved in his heart, and he wanted to clean up Liu Bei, but his son was on the bar with him, and his tears almost didn't come out.

"Then the kid goes clean up."

The two saluted Liu Zhou and his wife, turned around and left.

Hu Shi looked at the back of his child with a distressed face, and said that he was suffering.

Liu Zhou was always relieved and praised: "It is worthy of being a child who reads the words of the sage, and if he is responsible, these two children have finally grown up, and I am very relieved." ”

"What comfort, my son doesn't eat, you're hungry tonight!"

"Huh? Madame, why is that? ”

"Shut up, bothered."

……

Back in the room, Liu Bei sighed: "Deran, why are you competing with your aunt?" The aunt's mouth is just unintentional. ”

"I'm not competing with my mother, I want to take this opportunity to remind Gongsun Bogui of the situation."

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was quite surprised when he heard this.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Brother, what do you think, how does Brother Bogui treat you and me?"

Liu Bei's expression became a little lonely.

"To be honest, I don't think he wants to use you or me."

"Indeed, although he is a classmate, but he is in charge of a county, there are too many guards and there are heroes, and personnel matters are extremely sensitive, from his point of view, he must take into account the interests of many parties, you and I want to be in his position, I am afraid that it will not work in a short time."

"What does this have to do with you and I going to the cowshed to think about it?"

"I'll ask my family to find Jian Yong in a while, and ask him to spread our deeds this time in the county first."

Liu Bei heard this and thought thoughtfully.

I see......

Liu Jian turned his head to look out the window, looking quite expectant: "Brother Liu, a famous Confucian disciple at home, a hundred miles out to welcome the same door, kill thieves in the middle ......of the night, and clear the way for the senior brother to take office, but he was punished by his parents for unauthorized behavior, and he was not allowed to eat for ten days."

Liu Bei hurriedly corrected him: "It's not that you are not allowed to eat for ten days, it's that you only have one food a day for ten days!" ”

"Haha...... Exaggerate, exaggerate, no one will delve into it. ”

"Oh."

"The news is spreading in the market, and it may be a good story...... His grandson Chan has just taken office, and our two brothers have done so much for him out of friendship, you say that if he ignores the two of us, isn't he hot when he sits on the throne of the county king? ”

Liu Bei completely understood: "Not only can you make a name for yourself through this matter, but also let Gongsun Chan not want to make something for us?" ”

"Reputation, the county monarch also needs reputation, so today's mother's punishment, we must accept it, this is not to punish us, it is the face of that senior brother."

"You, do you think Gongsun Bogui will hate us because of this matter?"

"Why hate? It was an opportunity for him. ”

"Opportunity?"

"As long as he can respond to our brothers, and the matter spreads, it is also his grandson Zhan who cares about the friendship of the same family, and he will repay his kindness, this is a chance to make a name for him, do you think his brother Bogui will be stupid?"

Liu Bei respectfully said: "The virtuous brother has a plan, and he admires it!" ”
