Wei and Jin cooks

Since Guo Pu came to Beijing, Zhao Shen has gone further and further on the road of theology. He didn't know that Zhao Hanzhang was arranging his future, so after sneezing twice in a row, he muttered: "Could it be that someone is here?" scold me?"

He casually touched a handful of dry branches from the side, cut them into several long and short ones, and then lined them up in a row. After a while, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and asked, "I remember who is here to provide disaster relief?" Xun Fan, right?"

"Yes, Taifu Xun is in charge of this area."

Zhao Shen frowned, "This hexagram belongs to the middle and lower levels, which is not very good. How can it show that the general's powerful person is in trouble? Xunfan is the uncle of the young emperor, and he is not considered the powerful general."

A soldier asked: "Could he be referring to the minister?"

"Bah, bah, bah," Zhao Shen's eldest follower Da'an said before Zhao Shen: "Fortune telling cannot be done to oneself. Our husband is safe and happy, what difficulties can there be?"

Zhao Shen originally doubted himself, but after hearing Daan's words, he felt it made sense, "Yes, it shouldn't be me, otherwise I would feel even stronger."

"Servant, General Yuan is here too."

Zhao Shen was startled, "Why is he here? Isn't the disaster situation almost calm now? Disaster relief grains have arrived from all over the country, and many grain merchants have stabilized grain prices. At this time, there will definitely not be anyone seeking death to raise grain prices. Bar?"

Da'an: "Perhaps it's time to settle accounts after the fall."

Zhao Shen frowned slightly, "Although those people are hateful, it is not wise to settle accounts after the fall. If Yuan Li doesn't know how to adapt, he may indeed cause disaster."

He stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

It's not that Yuan Li doesn't know how to adapt, but it depends on whether he is willing or not.

If it had been before, he would have been unwilling. Since the benefits of the modification could not fall on him, he might as well have caught and killed him, not only to get some trophies, but also to have credit on his credit book.

But now, he already knows that he needs to worry about Zhao Hanzhang's worries and worry about Zhao Hanzhang's worries, so he will first explore Zhao Hanzhang's thoughts and then act.

When Xun Fan reported the matter, he originally wanted to give him a small punishment but a big warning. He would check it out and hold the handle in his hand. The girl might be able to use it in the future.

Therefore, he has only two goals: to find out the truth and grasp the handle; and to develop detailed operations and bury the nails of the Procuratorate.

As a result, the first message that the newly conquered nail Zheng Quan surrendered was that Zheng Zhi and Yu Hong wanted to poison him and Xun Fan.

Yuan Li smiled, leaned forward and asked him, "You said Yu Hong wants to poison me?"

Zheng Quan shuddered and said quickly: "Master Lang didn't say yes. Yes, it was Zheng Zhi who mentioned it."

"When do they plan to strike and how do they plan to strike?"

Zheng Quan whispered: "They want to lure the general to the river, and then they will meet by chance, and they will poison the wine while eating together..."

Zheng Quandao: "Originally, I wanted to start in the mansion. Please invite more musicians and dancers. With Taifu Xun as my companion, you won't doubt it. When everything is settled, I will deal with all the people you brought and throw them away." Go to the river and report to the court that you fell into the water while patrolling the river bank. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it will be difficult for the general to detect the truth."

Yuan Li laughed angrily, "They are quite smart. How many evil things have they done to dare to murder an angel?"

Zheng Quan whispered: "General, you are pushing too hard and you have a reputation. Our master is very frightened. Zheng Zhi was on the side and encouraged us, so we came up with this idea."

"After you entered the city, you were careful when entering and leaving. It was difficult for them to find an opportunity to attack. Master Lang had given up the idea at first, but as soon as you arrived, you checked the account books and grain stores. In just two days, you captured eighteen people. Now, if we take someone else, it will be their turn."

Yuan Li: "So, Yu Hong finally agreed."

Zheng Quan lowered his head and said, "Although I didn't respond, I didn't stop Zheng Zhi either."

This is very cunning. If it works, everything will be fine, but if it doesn't work, you can still blame Zheng Zhi for everything.

Yuan Li smiled and said, "It seems that County Sheriff Yu is not entirely protective of his brother-in-law."

Zheng Quan was trembling and dared not speak.

Although he chose Yuan Li, he was an old confidant of Yu Hong. If the other party could survive, he still hoped that he could survive.

Zheng Quan felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had tried to persuade Yu Hong openly or secretly in the past two days, which had already made him angry.

Zheng Quan knew that Yu Hong would definitely get tired of him if he continued to persuade him.

So when he saw the extra note and a cup of hot tea in the room, he agreed to join Yuan Li.

Not only for the future of his two sons, but also for the lives of their family.

From his perspective, Yu Hong would definitely not be able to defeat Yuan Li. Even if he was lucky enough to kill Yuan Li, he might not be able to hide it from the general.

He still doesn't know who put the note in his house, but if he could put the note in the house quietly and just before he came back, it must be someone very close.

Legend has it that General Yuan is in charge of the Zhao family's secret service, and his spies are everywhere in the world.

It would be better if Yu Hong didn't take action. Once he kills Yuan Li and Xun Fan, the spies hiding in the governor's house will definitely find something unusual. By then, no one in the Yu family can even think of running away.

He is a servant, and his two sons are also servants. If the master commits such a big thing, it is very likely that they will be implicated and be beheaded.

So in order to survive, he had no choice but to betray Yu Hong.

Yuan Li pulled him up from the ground, reached out and pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart. You are not betraying me. You must be a human first and then a slave."

He said: "You are from Jin. You must first not betray the country or the general, and then you and your employer."

Zheng Quan was stunned, "Don't betray the country? I, I am a traitor, so the general is still willing to trust me?"

"Why don't you believe it?" Yuan Li asked: "Let me ask you, if the Xiongnu Kingdom is still there and Yu Hong wants to surrender to the enemy, will you obey Yu Hong, or will you resist and fight for the country and the people?"

Zheng Quan: "I am a slave. Naturally, it is up to the master to do whatever he wants. We can only obey."

"Wrong!" Yuan Li shouted loudly: "Slaves are also human beings. Since they are human beings, they have a bottom line. The country is the one that cannot be betrayed. Even if he is your head, you should do the opposite!"

Zheng Quan's eyes widened.

Yuan Li pinched his shoulders and said: "This is what the general said. I still send these words to you today. You must remember that it was not you who betrayed Yu Hong, but Yu Hong who betrayed the court, betrayed the general, and betrayed him first." The people under your rule, but you are fighting for justice and the country. From today on, you are no longer Yu Hong’s slave, but a member of the Ministry of Supervision, a good man, and a meritorious official of the Jin Dynasty!"

Zheng Quan's lips trembled and he asked in disbelief: "Me, my beloved? Is he a hero?"

Yuan Li nodded heavily.

Zheng Quan's broken heart was re-glued, and his collapsed faith was re-established. He nodded and murmured: "Yes, I am a good man, I am a good man, and I am still a hero..."

When Zheng Quan left, his eyes were filled with light and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

Yuan Li's personal soldier Shi Si came back after sending the people away, moved to Yuan Li's side and said: "General, he is a traitor. If he can rebel once, he can rebel a second time. Do we really want to rely on him as an internal agent? Do you want to Don’t you want to take a few more people with you?”

"No, a few of us are enough to deal with Yu Hong," Yuan Li said: "I asked him to be an internal agent to cultivate him. Zheng Quanke is more suitable as a spy than Du Xin."

"Ah? Why? That Du Xin was given away after we raised him, and this Zheng Quan rebelled halfway."

Although Yu Hong is not a good person, Shi Si also looks down on slaves who betray their master.

Yuan Li glanced at him and said: "Zheng Quan is not a repeatable person. If you are afraid that he will betray us, then establish a belief in him that he will never betray us."

Yuan Li knew Zheng Quan best, because he vaguely saw his former self in him.

He will fight for power and money, but he will never betray a girl!

Shi Si scratched his head and said, "General, I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand. If you understand, wouldn't you become a general?" Yuan Li turned around and said, "Go and make arrangements. We will go to the governor's house as guests the day after tomorrow. To catch thieves and assassinate the court angels, you have to get a The current situation is the best.”

Yuan Li sneered again and again, "Originally I just wanted to control them, and the future is long, but I didn't expect that they are seeking death. In this case, we have to help them."

Shi Si became excited and happily said "Yes" and ran out to find Pao Ze, who was a highly skilled martial artist. "I told you not to let them go. People who drive up prices are the most abominable. All six members of my family were so hungry back then. dead……"

Shi Si went out and ordered ten good players at once, but Yuan Li only picked four. "The rest of them are quietly ambushing outside the governor's house. Be careful not to reveal your whereabouts. Wait for my signal and go in immediately to get the people." .”

Shi Si said: "The six of us are too few. The general's safety is the most important thing."

Yuan Li: "I have thoroughly tested Yu Hong's background in the past two days. Those people in his hands are all useless. They are just too many. If there is a real fight, the three of us can form a formation to make two." The army is in formation, and Yu Hong is by my side, I can reach out and catch him."

Shi Si: "I am worried about Taifu Xun. It is not a problem for us to save our lives. But if we want to protect Taifu Xun, it will be difficult."

Yuan Li's eyes were deep, but he said: "It doesn't matter, we are good at martial arts, and those are just minions. When the time comes, we will protect Taifu Xun in the middle. Moreover, he and Yu Hong are good friends, so Yu Hong may not attack him." .”

"But didn't Zheng Quan just say that they wanted to get you and Taifu Xun together..."

Yuan Li looked at him coldly, and Shi Si immediately stopped talking, lowered his head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Yuan Li said coldly: "Don't do unnecessary things."

If Xun Fan survived, it was because he was lucky; if he died, it was Yu Hong's fault and no one could be blamed.

The old ministers surrounding the young emperor were basically formed by the brothers Xun Fan and Xun Zui, among whom Xun Fan had the highest prestige.

If he dies, the Xun group will not be able to control this power, and the little emperor's power will definitely be reduced, and it will be smoother for the girl to go further.

Yuan Li made a plan and met Yu Hong specifically when he went out to investigate the case the next day.

Sure enough, Yu Hong mentioned, "When my subordinates reviewed the accounts for repairing the dam last year, they found that a sum of money did not match up. The county magistrate's office recorded that fifty thousand cubic meters of bricks were produced, but the account on the other side of the dam showed that it was spent. Thirty thousand square meters, and 20,000 square meters of bricks are missing. Fu Shangshu was personally responsible for the Yellow River overhaul last year. If Shangshu Ling knew about this, wouldn't it be..."

He sighed loudly and saluted repeatedly, "I also asked General Yuan to help find out the truth. Speaking of which, these things are all related to this flood..."

Yuan Li took the account book and looked at it carefully, then closed it after a moment, "I know about this."

Yu Hong asked: "General Yuan, do you want to go to the dam to have a look? The foreman who followed the repair of the Yellow River last year lived by the river, so he is an insider."

"Let's go back in two days. Let's check out the food issue first. If we calculate this amount, it belongs to another matter."

Yu Hong was a little anxious. In two days, with the speed at which Yuan Li was investigating the case, he might be able to get to the bottom of it. By then, he and Zheng Zhi would both be arrested.

"If there is really a problem with the dam, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles. Moreover, after the flood, there will always be epidemics among the people. I don't know if those foremen will stay at home. I feel that this matter should be taken care of sooner rather than later."

Yuan Li frowned slightly, "But the general is already pressing for grain prices. General Zu has already set a time to return to Beijing. Ming Zhongshu is also going back. Now only Taifu Xun is still here. Some ministers in the court are the most I like to think wildly, so the general urged me to finish this matter as soon as possible so that I can escort Taifu Xun back to the capital."

Yu Hong:......

Yuan Li glanced at him and said: "I just wanted to tell you that I will go to the mansion to visit Taifu Xun tomorrow so that I can reply to the general."

When Yu Hong heard this, his heart suddenly rose, and he said happily: "Okay, I don't know when the general will come. I will prepare wine and food in advance to entertain the general."

"There is no need to entertain you. I will stay for an hour at noon to have a light meal with Master Xun." Yuan Li was afraid that there would be too many people and it would be difficult to move, so he emphasized: "Prefect Yu, what kind of musicians and dancers are the best?" Don't show up, otherwise, be careful as I bribe the angels with your book."

Yu Hong was unhappy in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Who is to blame? Who holds a banquet to entertain guests but not musicians and dancers?

But as long as Yuan Li is willing to come to the door, even if there are no musicians and dancers, there will be plenty of ways to treat him to a drink.

Yu Hong's mind was filled with thoughts and he decided to make arrangements when he got back.

No, he can't arrange this himself. He can tell Zheng Zhi and let him arrange it.

Yu Hong lowered his eyelids to hide his thoughts, and after retreating, he went to find Zheng Zhi first.

The next day, Yuan Li only brought Shi Si and four personal guards to the door, and he also carried fruits he bought from the street.

"This is for Taifu Xun."

Yu Hong didn't mind that the gift was shabby, and led Zheng Zhi into the room with a smile on his face, "Teacher Xun is already waiting."

Xun Fan was confused and looked at Yuan Li who was approaching. He didn't understand why he, who had always refused to have too much entanglement with Yu Hong, suddenly decided to come to the banquet.

Zheng Zhi prepared a table of wine and food, and asked Yuan Li to sit down with enthusiasm. He personally carried a pot and poured wine for them, "General Yuan's willingness to come is beyond our expectations. I have to thank Taifu Xun for this..."

At this time, Zhao Shen, who was running all the way, had already entered the city. He revealed his identity at the city gate, found out where Yuan Li was staying, and went straight to the broken house.

"What, going to the governor's house for a banquet?" Zhao Shen glanced at the three or two crooked melons and cracked dates in the yard, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Didn't he bring two hundred soldiers? How come there are so many people? How many of you are left injured?"

See you tomorrow
