Chapter 637
Tan County.

Liu Bei has not been in a very good mood these days, to be precise, it is very bad.

Not to mention that the money in the family was evacuated, but also suffered the biggest betrayal in history.

It's fine for Tian Feng and the others to squeeze him, but he, Lin Zichu, is a brother and sister who grew up with him in humble beginnings!
It's really annoying that he betrayed himself too!

Therefore, Liu Bei thought it was necessary for him to take revenge.

So the next day, Liu Bei revealed the fact that Lin Chao had accepted bribes from Mi Zhu after Mi Fang committed a crime last year and was pardoned by himself, and said that Lin Chao was using power for personal gain.

It doesn't matter if this is said, after hearing the news, the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate was erupting, and everyone was so excited that they danced and celebrated.

State government officials have been suffering for a long time, and now they have such an opportunity, how can they take advantage of it.

This kind of excitement is like the excitement at the moment when the long-awaited BOSS is finally refreshed, and everyone stands in line at the door of the dungeon waiting for the group to start.

As the head of the academy, Cui Yan was no exception, and even came to question Lin Chao in person.

Lin Zichu, your business has happened again!

Regarding the collection of money, Lin Chao confessed, but did not think he was at fault.

Cui Yan was almost laughed out of anger, he dared to be so righteous in accepting money, could it be that his junior brother is crazy!

But Lin Changshi also has something to say, I did take money from Mi Zhu, but I didn't do anything!
It was Liu Bei's order to depose Mi Fang as a common man. I neither interfered nor exonerated him. How could it be said that he was taking bribes?

As for the money, the Mi family is willing to give me money, do you care about it!
"This……"

Cui Yan's eyes widened immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't refute Lin Chao's remarks, and finally had to leave sadly.

But Lin Chao stopped him and told him a big secret - Liu Bei also had a share of the money that Mi Zhu donated last year!

Now, Cui Yan's excitement that had just been extinguished was ignited again.

Lin Changshi hasn't refreshed yet, let's brush Taiwei Liu!

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, form, form, start a group immediately!
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Cui Yan turned around and went to the Government Affairs Hall to call Tian Feng, and then stepped into the Taiwei Mansion with arrogance, admonishing Liu Bei, only spraying Liu Bei so that the whole person was almost depressed, but There is no way to refute.

This wave can be said to have lifted a rock and shot itself in the foot.

Seeing that Liu Bei failed to govern the Lin Dynasty, he made another plan.

Didn't you, Lin Zichu, blackmail someone's money? Now that someone is poor, he goes to your house every day to get food.

Not only does a certain person go by himself, but he also brings others with him, and he also asks you to feast on fish and meat every day until you go bankrupt!

Anyway, our two families are neighbors, so it is convenient to visit.

In the next few days, Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Xun You, Guo Jia and others to swarm up every morning, and did not return until sunset, and ate three meals at the Lin Mansion.

For this, Lin Chao naturally wanted to push people away, but before he could say anything, Liu Bei eloquently talked about the evacuation of the internal treasury to everyone. It made Lin Chao feel embarrassed.

So the Lin family had no choice but to set up running water seats every day, which was extremely lively for a while.

In the early morning of the 29th lunar month, Liu Bei took Guo Jia to gobble up another meal in the Lin residence. After eating and drinking, he was about to slap his ass and leave under Lin Chao's helpless eyes when he saw Guo Jia take out a piece of meat from his arms. secret report.

"My lord, the school affairs office just got the news last night."

Liu Bei took it, but found that there were some symbols on it that he didn't recognize, so he asked curiously: "Feng Xiao, these... are words?"

"No, this is a secret report invented by Zixu when he set up the school affairs office back then. It needs to be compared to interpret the content. In this way, even if the enemy gets it, it will not be able to decipher it, and the secrets will not be leaked."

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help nodding his head and said, "This is a clever plan. Let me tell you, Feng Xiao, what is the content of this."

Guo Jia said: "Sun Bofu, the son of Sun Jian, sent Zhou Yu to Yuzhou to meet Yuan Gonglu a few days ago, and now the two have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, intending to plot against me in Xuzhou."

"Leaving aside Yuan Gonggong, what can Sun Bofu do if he is just an upright son?" Liu Bei smiled disdainfully, "If his father, Sun Wentai, is still around, I would still be jealous of him."

Lin Chao's eyelids twitched a few times when he saw Liu Bei's indifferent appearance and said such dangerous remarks that he seemed to have heard somewhere.

Liu Daer, you are drifting...

"Mr. Xuande's words are wrong!" Lin Chao said, "Although Sun Bofu is young, this son is more heroic than his father, Sun Wentai, so we must not underestimate him."

"Zi Chu is afraid of a yellow-mouthed child?" Liu Bei laughed.

Lin Chao: ...

Is this something to be afraid of?
This is clearly because I pay enough attention to the enemy!
What do you Yiling army god know!
Guo Jia continued: "This time Sun Bofu nominally surrendered to Yuan Gonglu, but he is still in Yangzhou, but Yuan Gonglu gave a large amount of food and grass subsidies, which is strange."

"Could it be that Yuan Gonglu is crazy?" Liu Bei laughed.

"Of course not." Guo Jia said with a smile, "Sun Bofu didn't lead his army back, but he got Yuan Gonglu to allocate food for him. He must have paid some price."

"cost?"

Liu Bei was puzzled.

Lin Chao who was beside him suddenly sneered and said, "The so-called price should be Chuan Guoxie."

Liu Bei was shocked and said: "Chuan Guoxi! This thing Sun Bofu is willing to use it as a bargaining chip?"

"That's right, Jia thinks what Zichu said is reasonable." Guo Jia interjected, "Imagine what other things in Sun Bofu's hands can we exchange for food and grass from Yuan Gonglu besides this thing?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes were full of seriousness, and he sighed: "This yellow-mouthed kid has such courage, Sun Bofu is not inferior to his father!"

Guo Jia said: "In exchange for the Chuan Guoxi, Sun Bofu and Yuan Gonglu reached three conditions. First, Yuan Gonglu sent food, grass, soldiers and horses to Sun Bofu."

Lin Chao nodded, which was expected.

"What about two other conditions?"

Guo Jia looked at Lin Chao who was asking the question, and suddenly he was overjoyed and said, "Secondly, Mrs. Wu, the wife of Sun Jian whom Zichu had always wanted, was also returned to Sun Ce by Yuan Shu."

Lin Chao: ...

Guo Fengxiao, pay attention to what you say, Mrs. Wu is Sun Jian's wife and Sun Ce's mother. When did she become the Mrs. Wu I miss so much!
When Sun Jian followed Yuan Shu to challenge Dong, he left his family in Lujiang.Then the fight for Dong was over, Sun Jian died in battle, and Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, so Mrs. Wu has been in Yuan Shu's hands for the past two years.

As for Guo Jia's ridicule this time, it was because Lin Chao once sighed that having a child should be like Sun Bofu, and Zhang Fei laughed and wanted to lead his troops to help Lin Chao snatch Mrs. Wu back.

Now that the old matter was brought up again, not only Guo Jia laughed happily, but Liu Bei also laughed out loud.

Lin Chao suddenly felt a little...

It's all because I'm too kind, I can't play with you people!

After Liu Bei finished laughing, he pretended to be serious and said: "Zichu, if you really like that Wu family, it doesn't matter if we accept him after we defeat Yuan Gonglu in another year. It's just that the Wu family will inevitably grow old and lustful." Bad, I'm afraid Zichu doesn't like it anymore hahaha..."

"Hahaha... what the lord said is true!"

It was a rare opportunity to hurt Lin Chao, Guo Jia quickly echoed, grinning wider than Liu Bei.

Lin Chao couldn't stand these two scum anymore, so he resisted the urge to curse and changed the subject, "What about the third condition?"

"The third condition is that Yuan Gonglu declares that he and Sun Wentai are brothers and sisters, and wants to adopt Sun Bofu as his adopted son."

What, Yuan Shu's father addiction has broken again?

Look, look, I said that I have no unreasonable thoughts about Mrs. Wu, now you believe me!

It was Yuan Shu who really wanted to accept Mrs. Wu, otherwise why would he want to be Sun Ce's father?

Besides, Mrs. Wu stayed with Yuan Shu for several years, maybe something happened with Yuan Shu long ago...

Regarding Lin Chao's defense, Liu Bei and Guo Jia naturally did not want to believe it, and then they laughed at Lin Chao severely.

After playing around for a while, just as Liu Bei was about to leave with his favorite minister Guo Jia, he saw Xun Chen walking in from outside.

"My lord, everything is ready at the recruiting platform outside the city, and I invite my lord to come and recruit talents!"

Only then did Liu Bei realize that today is the day to open the recruiting platform.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there will be a period of rest after the Chinese New Year, so the inner government arranged to recruit talents today.

In order to show that the state government attaches great importance to this recruitment, it is necessary for Liu Bei to go on stage to read the recruitment order in person. Fortunately, Liu Bei himself likes to wander around when there is nothing to do, so naturally he will not refuse.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the official of Zhongzheng, Xun Chen is naturally in charge of this recruitment.

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Now that you are ready, let's go. Zichu, Fengxiao, you two will go with a certain one."

Guo Jia nodded, but Lin Chao shook his head.

"Mr. Xuande goes first, and will arrive later."

After Liu Bei left, Lin Chao ordered someone to summon Jia Xu.

Since returning to Tan County, Jia Xu has been going in and out of the house all the time. Lin Chao is well aware of his tortoise attributes, so he doesn't bother to bother him when he has nothing to do.

But today, there are some things that require this turtle to come out.

After Jia Xu arrived, he saluted Lin Chao first, and then said, "Zi Chu, what are you calling me for?"

"Mr. Xuande is recruiting talents today, let's talk as we go."

Lin Chao made a gesture of invitation, and immediately the two of them left the gate of the mansion and walked outside the city.

"Wenhe, how is the implementation of the New Deal going?"

On the street, Lin Chao opened his mouth and said.

Although the new policy is led by the Inner Government and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is Jinyiwei and Shuntian Mansion that really act as a deterrent to those aristocratic families.

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled wryly and said: "Zichu, this year a certain has been going out with the army, not long after returning to Tan County, Yuanlong is taking care of Shuntian Mansion's affairs, how does a certain know?"

"Pretend, continue to pretend!"

Lin Chao mercilessly exposed Jia Xu's lies.

To say that Jia Xu fished, Lin Chaoxin.

If it were said that Jia Xu had no control over the department in his hands, Lin Chao would absolutely not believe it.

Seeing that he couldn't evade it, Jia Xu had no choice but to say: "Now the implementation of the New Deal is very smooth, but bloody conflicts are always inevitable, but fortunately they can be controlled. After all, Zichu, you played too big this time, and you want to fight without bloodshed. But it's impossible."

Seeing that the vested interests are damaged, there will always be people who will resist, and bloodshed is naturally expected by Lin Chao.

"Is there anyone who harbors resentment and wants to take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu was keenly aware of the dangerous aura, and asked, "What does Zichu mean by that? Could it be that he wants to take this opportunity to clean himself up?"

Lin Chao smiled, but he didn't answer Jia Xu's question directly. Instead, he continued to ask: "In March of the next year, the New Deal will be implemented in the four states. At that time, I'm afraid I will leave Tan County for a while. Would you like to go with me?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Even Jia Xu couldn't help being stunned after hearing this sentence.

Lin Chao spread his hands and said with a smile, "Naturally, he resigned from office and returned to his hometown, not caring about worldly affairs."

"This joke is not funny."

"Because it's not funny, it's not a joke."

Seeing Lin Chao's serious face, Jia Xu lost his voice, "Why?"

At this moment, thoughts in Jia Xu's mind turned back and forth, but he still couldn't think of any reason for Lin Chao to resign and return home.

After all, there is a gap of 2000 years in cognition. Even if Jia Xu is as scheming as Jia Xu, he would never have thought that Lin Chao was going to kill himself and deliberately remove the power in his hands.

Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Wen He, I just asked you, if I resign and return to my hometown, would you like to go with me?"

"It's natural!"

Jia Xu replied without thinking.

Although he didn't understand what Lin Chao's plan was, he knew that following Lin Chao would not suffer.

Lin Chao smiled meaningfully: "Don't think about it again, the position of Shuntian Mansion Commander has a lot of power, Wen He is willing to give up just like that?"

"Fame and honor, Yu Mou is like floating clouds, what a pity!"

When someone else said this sentence, Lin Chao would definitely not believe it.But when it comes to Jia Xu, it looks much more believable.

If he could really eat and drink every day and spend the rest of his life in peace, Jia Xu would like to live this kind of life right away.

Lin Chao continued: "Since this is the case, I would like to ask Wen He to do two more things for XX. After this is done, XX will give you a life-saving talisman."

"What's the matter?"

"First, clean up those aristocratic families who are unwilling to obey the New Deal."

Despite the multi-pronged approach, there is still some resistance to the New Deal, and blood must be seen.

This villain, Lin Chao intends to be himself, and at the same time find a suitable excuse for his resignation.

"What is cleaning and when is cleaning?"

Jia Xu asked, but he was actually asking to what extent it should be done.

"Since it's a purge, you have to use thunderous means." Lin Chao said with a smile, "After the rest of the year is over, you will go out and kill those families who don't want to obey the New Deal... all!"

Hearing this, Jia Xu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"As ordered!"

"As for the second thing..."

Lin Chao whispered something to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu's eyes kept flickering.

Sure enough, how could he, Lin Zichu, resign and return to his hometown? It turned out that he had other plans!

"The second thing is quite difficult."

After listening, Jia Xu shook his head and said.

Lin Chao smiled and said, "It's not difficult, so why did someone find you, Jia Wenhe. Fortunately, we still have a lot of time to complete this matter, what does Wenhe think?"

"I understand."

Jia Xu agreed, and then asked again: "You just said the life-saving talisman..."

"Yushan Academy will start school in the next year. At that time, someone will find a doctorate for you, so as to serve as the secretary of the academy. How about it?"

Of course Jia Xu understands the importance of Yushan Academy, and it can be called a talent training base.It is foreseeable that in the future, most of the officials of the Xuzhou Group should come from academies.

Therefore, even if Jia Xu is only a named secretary in the academy, as long as it is not a serious crime such as treason in the future, he should not be guilty of death, let alone die in a power struggle.

This is the reason for the so-called life-saving talisman.

How clever Jia Xu is, he even understood what Lin Chao meant.

"Then thank you very much!"

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the recruiting platform.

At this moment, the recruiting platform is busier than before. In order to maintain order, the military government directly dispatched thousands of elites to maintain law and order.

On the high platform, Liu Bei looked solemn, holding the recruitment order written by Chen Lin and reading it out.

Under the high stage, Lu Su in the crowd had a complicated expression.
