I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 21 Layout
When he walked out of the side room, Gongsun Zan's attitude was obviously different.

When Liu Jian took off his armor in the courtyard, Gongsun Zan stroked his long beard and said, "I don't think I was guessed by my virtuous brother, but Tan Shihuai is really seriously ill again. Once this person dies, all the ministries of Xianbei will be in chaos. This is indeed a golden opportunity for a great man! If we can grasp this golden opportunity, we will achieve great achievements, and then I will not be the magistrate of this mere district, and you will not be a white man..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jian handed over the armor, leather whip, and long sword used in the interrogation just now to Gongsun Zan's personal attendant, and then he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Gongsun, the matter here is over." Alright, my brother bid farewell."

After finishing speaking, he paid Gongsun Zan his farewell and was about to turn around and leave.

"Hey? Hey! Hey!"

Gongsun Zan was stunned.

He hurriedly followed and grabbed Liu Jian: "Where is my brother?"

Liu Jian turned his head and said calmly, "Of course I'm going home."

"I haven't finished talking yet, why go home!"

Gongsun Zan lost his temper and began to be unreasonable: "Such a major event has happened, why don't you and I haggle over and make an agreement?"

Liu Jian smiled. He looked down at Gongsun Zan's hand grabbing his sleeve, then gently took his hand away, and said to him, "Senior brother, I just asked you to borrow the armor, leather whip, and felt shoes. All the long swords and tools have been returned, but the dog leg has already been eaten, so it is too bad, I will arrange a banquet for senior brother in the future to make up for it."

"You..."

Gongsun Zan was so angry that he couldn't make sense of it: "You have to count me so clearly?"

"Brothers should do the same, not to mention between you and me, there are some things that should be settled clearly, brother, today's business is over, younger brother will leave first."

After all, Liu Jian paid his respects again, leaving Gongsun Zan in a daze.

Not long after, Yu Ze came in a hurry. He saw Gongsun Zan standing where he was, with a dazed, rather strange expression.

Liu Bei had already left with Liu Jian, and Yu knew why Gongsun Zan had such a weird expression, but at this juncture, he couldn't say much. After all, Gongsun Zan had no one to blame for this matter but himself.

But who would know that this Liu Jian is really a character?
Yu didn't understand politics, nor did he understand officialdom, but he understood that it was definitely not an ordinary person for a white body to torture a county magistrate who was as tall as a thousand stones.

Gongsun Zan walked around the courtyard for a while like a tiger in a cage, then suddenly turned to look at Yu Ze.

"You! Lead someone to bring him back!"

Yu didn't move, he just asked Gongsun Zan tentatively, "Really?"

"real……"

Gongsun Zan was at a loss for words.

half an hour,

"Let's invite him back." Gongsun Zan's tone softened obviously.

"I invite?" Yu Ze asked again.

another half hour
"Hey, self-inflicted crimes are not to be blamed. Since a certain Gongsun thinks he is a hero, he should be willing to gamble and admit defeat. I misunderstood this little brother, so naturally I have to work harder, prepare gifts, and vines. Tomorrow I will personally Go to Liu She."

Yu Ze said in admiration: "Ming Ting knows his mistakes and can correct them, and he has a big heart, which is admirable."

"You choose the gift yourself, don't be stingy, alas, now I know that my junior brother has such a talent, I still missed it."

Na Yu hesitated for a while, and said: "The county lord, it's not the last official's presumption, it's just the county lord's previous actions. For Liu Langjun, it is indeed an act of slowing the virtuous, not to mention that he has confronted the county lord because of this." Gambling, if it is ordinary wealth, I am afraid it may not be able to move his heart at this moment, and I don't think Mr. Liu Shaolang is a person who likes money very much."

Gongsun Zan licked his dry lips, and after thinking about it, this was indeed the case.

"You are right. Although my junior brother is not a rich man, his family is well-off. I am indeed wrong about what happened this time. It's just that apart from valuables, I can't think of anything to lure him... Alas, if Xuande is fine, buy him two new clothes to wear, it will definitely make him change his mind."

Yu hesitated and said, "Actually, before coming to the county office today, there was indeed something in the market that Mr. Liu Shaolang quite liked, but it was expensive, and the last official dared not specialize in it."

Gongsun Zan said, "Just tell me what you said."

……

Liu Jian and Liu Bei went home together. On the way, he told Liu Bei about the important things at the county office today.

Liu Bei didn't expect that within two days, things would turn around so much. They and Gongsun Zan not only had different offenses and defenses, but Liu Jian even analyzed the serious illness of Tan Shi Huai.

For Xianbei, this is a big deal, and it directly affects the luck of the northern border county within ten years.

It’s not an exaggeration. It can be seen from the "Zizhi Tongjian" of later generations that from the first year of Jianning to the fourth year of Guanghe, there are ten recorded times of Xianbei's invasion and annexation, but the number of counterattacks by the Han Dynasty is [-] times. Only once, but only this time, he was severely injured by the beating.

"My dear brother, you really did a great thing today! If there is no accident, Gongsun Bogui will come to his home to invite you in person tomorrow!"

"It's not me, it's us, the four of us, the four tigers of Zhuo County."

Seeing that Liu Jian hadn't forgotten the four of them at this time, Liu Bei was very happy.

This is the brother who cherishes each other.

"No matter what the final result is, I will follow the example of you, brother!"

"By the way, brother, you follow me to the horse market."

"Why go to the horse market?"

"Look for Su Shuang."

Hearing Su Shuang's name, Liu Bei was a little unhappy.

"Why are you looking for that gangster? Are you still thinking about his big green horse?"

The corner of Liu Jian's mouth curled into a smile: "Don't worry about it, that big green man will be mine sooner or later! I'm looking for him today because I have other matters to discuss."

"What's the matter?"

"You will know later."

Not long after, the two came to the horse market together.

Su Shuang was a horse dealer in the north. He started out as a peddler, and now he is the largest horse dealer in the east of western Liaoning.

But even if he is rich, he does not forget his roots. Although he mainly buys and sells north and south horses, although his profits are huge, he has never given up on the horse intermediary business.

Brainy, and willing to endure hardships, in less than ten years, he has become the largest local horse merchant and top dealer in Youzhou.

When Liu Jian came to see Su Shuang, he didn't embarrass Liu Jian because of what happened during the day. On the contrary, he was extraordinarily enthusiastic about Liu Jian, as if what happened during the day never happened.

"Haha, it's only been half a day, why did Mr. Shaolang come to me on purpose? Could it be that he is obsessed with that big green horse?"

Liu Jian asked: "Brother Su's good horse, has someone bought it?"

"Of course I did! To tell you the truth, Liu Lang, it's only been half a day, and three horses already wanted to pay a lot of money to take pictures of my steed. It's a pity that the price is too low, which makes me hesitate..."

After all, Su Shuang sighed for a long time, with a distressed expression.

It has to be said that Su Shuang's acting skills are quite good, if it was an ordinary buyer, he might have been fooled by him.

To put it bluntly, this is a typical marketing method, compiling several buyers to grasp the psychology of buyers and create an atmosphere that horses are very sought-after.

Things that are not robbed are not considered good things, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Of course, if it is really necessary, it is not difficult for Su Shuang to find a few people to play against Liu Jian.

Even in the morning, Su Shuang pulled Da Qingmao to the TV set alone, just for the sake of focus.

Typical sleight of hand routine.

But unfortunately, there are too many people who will use these routines in future generations, and there is nothing new for Liu Jian.

He smiled and said sideways: "Brother Su's horse will naturally be taken by noble people in the near future. You don't need to rush to sell it, lest it will be sold cheaply. There will definitely be a good buyer for this horse, you can rest assured."

Su Shuang was curious after hearing this, and began to look at Liu Jian meaningfully.
