Chapter 138: Transactions

PS: Ask for collection and support, xiexie guys!

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The Ichthyosaurus Praetorian Guard Legion is all under Liu Fan, diligent, self-denying, and specially awarded Liu Fan the third class baron, hoping that he will continue to work hard and be loyal to the empire. A little eunuch took a copy in his hand and even read it out, but Liu Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little inexplicable at the moment, what does this mean, suddenly giving himself a knighthood?

Liu Dutong congratulated. The little eunuch handed over the holy decree in his hand to Liu Fan: "This is the secret decree that the emperor wants me to hand over to Liu Dutong, Gonggong Zhang said that there are some things that can be done and some things that cannot be done." ”

Liu Fan stood up and took the holy decree and the secret decree into his hand, and stuffed two silver ingots from his sleeve to the little eunuch, the little eunuch weighed the weight and immediately smiled on his face: "Thank you father-in-law, father-in-law, please enter the account, how about a little rest for father-in-law?"

The little eunuch shook his head and said: "No, the boss asked our family to go back immediately after arriving to reply to the decree, and I hope that Liu Dutong will give our family an answer after reading the secret decree, and our family will go back and bring a message to the emperor, our family is telling Liu Du to unify things, this holy decree is the meaning of Zhang Gonggong, and Liu Dutong can understand the meaning of our family?"

Liu Fan hurriedly responded with a smile, stuffed two more silver ingots and handed them to the little eunuch: "Father-in-law, you can reply to the emperor, just say that I know what to do, please take me Xiexie Zhang's father-in-law again." ”

"Then our family will leave. Liu Fan sent the little eunuch over

Liu Fan returned to the barracks and handed over the secret decree in his hand to Guo Jia, Guo Jia also frowned, this secret decree was obviously also Zhang Rang's meaning, Qingzhou fully cooperated with Liu Fan's disaster relief, but the condition was that Liu Fan could not touch a person in Qingzhou, Guo Jia put down the secret decree in his hand, closed his eyes, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

"Lord, now that we have to send arrows, we have already offended Zhang Duan and his shili in Qingzhou, even if we stop it now, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the disaster relief. Guo Jia's eyes shot a sharp gaze, Zhang Duan's evidence of embezzling disaster relief grain is only one step away, and the situation in Qingzhou is also going on beyond the powerful side, as long as the Qingzhou army is controlled in the next step, it can completely control the situation in Qingzhou.

"Okay, let's act according to Jihua, since we have offended them, we must completely eradicate these tumors. Liu Fan's tone was resolute, and Guo Jia nodded.

"Newspaper, a group of people from outside Dutong who claimed to be the gentry of Qingzhou came to ask to see Dutong. Just when Liu Fan and Guo Jia were discussing countermeasures, a personal guard walked in, Liu Fan and Guo Jia glanced at each other, Guo Jia's eyes turned to know the purpose of coming, they should also have received Zhang Rang's secret letter, Qingzhou is Zhang Rang's ancestral hometown, Zhang Rang naturally can't let Liu Fan uproot his shili in Qingzhou.

"Lord, this money should have been signaled by Zhang Rang, if I guessed correctly, these people should have come to give the lord what the lord needs most. Guo Jia's eyes flashed, Liu Fan gestured to the guard, and it didn't take long for dozens of people, old and young, to crowd Liu Fan's big tent.

As soon as dozens of people poured into Liu Fan's military tent, they automatically gave way to the queue, and an old man of seventy or eighty years old walked to the front and took the lead and knelt down, and the rest also knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Fan: "See Liu Dutong for grass people." ”

"Get up, get up, you are all the gentry of Qingzhou, I have been in Qingzhou for a period of time but have not had the opportunity to visit you is my dereliction of duty, everyone get up. Liu Fan smiled and helped an old man in the lead to his feet, and let the guards move over a chair: "I don't know what this elder is called?"

"Those who dare not dare to bear it are all called so, the contemptible surname is Zhang, it is Zhang Kui, the president of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, these people are all famous gentry in Qingzhou, and this time I came to visit Dutong There are many disturbances, please don't blame the general. Zhang Kui hurriedly stood up from the seat, his eyes revealed a look of indifference, but his face was about to show a sincere and frightened expression, pointing to the people behind him to introduce Liu Fan, and then did it without asking Liu Fan's meaning, the guards on the side just wanted to step forward and were stopped by Liu Fan, Liu Fan walked back to the handsome position and did it, glanced at the people in the tent, and all of them had sincere and frightened expressions on their faces, but their eyes were all unshaving. ...,

"Dutong, I waited for this time to come to Qingzhou for a few days, and we set up a banquet in the old man's house to entertain the general, and the other is that Dutong took away the children of my family and came to ask Dutong to release people. Although Zhang Kui's tone was quite polite after speaking, the look in his eyes betrayed him, especially when he said that he was releasing people.

Liu Fan sneered in his heart, I knew that this was the purpose of your coming, otherwise the people were caught by themselves yesterday, and after receiving the secret decree today, you flocked here, and it was really a good calculation, although Liu Fan had a smile on his face, he said in a rather surprised tone: "Oh, could it be that the people who embezzled the disaster relief grain of the imperial court yesterday were all from your family? This can't be confessed, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans." ”

The man's face really changed when he heard the smuggling of military food and the Zhujiu clan, Zhang Kui, who was sitting in the seat, stood up and looked at Liu Fan with a smile on his face and said: "Liu Dutong said and laughed, those grains were originally raised by me to see the fathers and villagers of Qingzhou suffer from the disaster, and everyone raised it spontaneously, I originally planned to ask Fuyang Hou to be a witness there and then hand it over to Liu Dutong, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Liu Dutong first, if I knew that Liu Dutong would go in person, I wouldn't have to be so mysterious." ”

"Oh, is that so? But there are still some things that should not be discovered in the capital?" Liu Fan looked at Zhang Kui with a hint of a smile on his face, but he was secretly scolding the old fox in his heart.

Zhang Kui's face didn't even change and said with a smile: "It's all laughing, those corpses were originally the descendants of the Heavenly Immortal Tower, and then they were infected with the plague for some reason, so I was afraid and locked them in the secret room, but I didn't expect them to die after a while." ”

"Oh, how does Chairman Zhang know that I'm talking about those corpses?" Liu Fan's words made Zhang Kui stunned, and Liu Fan pretended to be deep and said, "Old man Zhang, I'm just talking about the fact that these grains will be packed in the imperial court's disaster relief grain bag?"

Zhang Kui's face changed slightly, and he knew that he had placed an order, and the rest of the people also looked at Liu Fan angrily, Zhang Kui stood up and arched his hand coldly towards Liu Fan and said: "Liu Dutong laughed, Lao Yu just guessed that there were a few corpses in it, as for the grain, it was just that Lao Yu and the others were afraid that they would not accept it, so they bought back the grain bags from Zang Tingshi's hands and packed the grain and gave it to Liu Dutong." ”

"So that's the case, it seems that the Pontus is too worried, but when the Pontus just tried the case, some of them had already admitted that they had embezzled the disaster relief grain, and this matter was probably not easy to handle, after all, there were many soldiers present when the Pontus was trying the case, and if you let them go now with a few words, I'm afraid it would be a little inappropriate. Liu Fan deliberately glanced around, the Praetorian Guards around him, Zhang Kui and the others were tight, they didn't expect Liu Fan to have this hand, when they thought that Lord Zhang's secret decree was delivered, and they were coming forward to admit their mistakes, then Liu Fan would naturally obediently let people out, but they didn't expect Liu Fan to keep this hand now.

Liu Dutong laughed, embezzling disaster relief food is a big crime to kill the head, Liu Dutong laughed, it is not credible or not. Zhang Kui said that daxiao got up, and everyone followed daxiao, Zhang Kui arched his hand towards Liu Fan and said: "Dutong, I still have some surplus food in my family who are willing to donate it to the old folks in Qingzhou, I don't know what they think?"

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Bentutong is only responsible for supervising disaster relief, and has no obligation to provide disaster relief, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to donate food directly to me, I think you still go to the Thorn Mansion to find Lord Zang, this disaster relief is the business of Qingzhou Mansion, and Bendutong is only responsible for supervising disaster relief. Liu Fan smiled and waved his hand, Liu Fan's words made everyone speechless, Liu Fan really has no responsibility for disaster relief, his task is to supervise the disaster relief of officials in Qingzhou, and now these people come to Liu Fan, and it is indeed inconsistent with the etiquette system to hand over the food to Liu Fan for disaster relief. ...,

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, one of the people dressed as a Confucian came out, looked at Liu Fan with a smile and said: " Dutong laughed, Dutong is the emperor's Qincha, with the golden scepter given by the emperor in his hand, to a certain extent, it can replace the assassin's mansion to drive all his strength, I think Dutong doesn't want the millions of people in Qingzhou to eat now, Dutong We Mingren don't say dark words, all of them make a price, as long as Dutong can make a bid, our Chamber of Commerce will definitely send the money and grain to the barracks of the forbidden army, and please let me and other relatives go home. ”

"What do you call Mr?" Liu Fan's face changed, becoming a little dignified, seeing that Zhang Kui was about to be transferred into his trap, he didn't expect to kill a Cheng biting gold halfway.

"It's Zhang Huai in the bottom, it's just a small person in the next and it's not worth mentioning, but the capital should also hurry up and make a decision, and every moment of time passes, tens of thousands of people will be starved to death in Qingzhou. Zhang Huai looked at Liu Fan with a smile, as if he was not worried at all that Liu Fan would not agree, Liu Fan looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia nodded.

"Okay, then Ben Du Tong is not polite to you, you look at how much it is worth to give Ben Du Tong how much Ben Du Tong thinks that the price is right, naturally he will cross his name on this book, otherwise Ben Du Tong does not dare to guarantee how many people will let the emperor know, in addition, these soldiers of Ben Du Tong have not eaten a full meal after arriving in Qingzhou, and the soldiers of Ben Du Tong are quite complaining, you should know how to do it. Liu Fan smiled at the people below, everyone's faces changed, and they cursed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it.

"In this way, thank you Liudutong, we will send the food to Liudutong's military camp as soon as possible, please wait for the news of us. Zhang Kui's face stood up with a pale face, he originally thought that he was powerful enough, but he didn't expect that this Liu Dutong was really not simple, and he was worth a lot of money to estimate by himself, but the lifeblood of the price was still in Liu Fan's hands.

"Liu Dutong, farewell!" everyone stood up and arched their hands to Liu Fan.

"Don't send it!" Liu Fan stood up and said coldly, but he was sneering in his heart, fighting with Lao Tzu has you suffered!
