I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 601 I’m here to solve the girl’s life and death problems

Zhang Fei's strategy can be said to be more focused on the overall situation.

According to Zhang Fei's analysis, whoever the Mi family came to the north of Xiapi to donate grain must be carrying a lot of baggage. If nothing else, there must be no shortage of grain.

There is no doubt that with the greed of Zuo Rong and Que Xuan, they will definitely have a huge interest in these baggage.

It's not like Zuo Rong has never done such things as killing people, stealing goods, and robbing powerful people.

One reason is that Zuo Rong is bold, and another reason is that he is also extremely short of money.

Zuo Rong established a Buddhist temple in Xiapi County and asked the people of Xiapi County to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night. This caused monks, nuns and Buddhists from nearby counties to move into Xiapi County, with as many as 5000 households.

On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Zuo Rong will hold a "Buddha Bathing Party". The cost of hosting a roadside banquet alone is calculated in hundreds of millions.

Just looking at the size of the Buddha's Light Association, you can tell how much Zuo Rong needs money.

In recent years, in order to worship the Buddha, Zuo Rong has made many plans for the wealth of rich and powerful families, and many people have even been killed by Zuo Rong.

Nowadays, Xiapi Kingdom has been divided into two after Cao Cao's attack. With refugees running around, it can be said to be chaos.

Xiapi State's finances also tended to collapse.

Therefore, according to Zhang Fei's analysis, the Mi family has come to the north of Xiabi State to provide relief and charity, and they have brought countless amounts of food and grass.

At this stage, having endless food and grass is equivalent to having endless money. How can it not be coveted by others?
For Zuo Rong, who is currently extremely short of money and eager to find money, this is like a big piece of fat falling from the sky for no reason.

According to Zuo Rong's greed, it was absolutely impossible for him to let go of this piece of fat.

In other words, Zuo Rong will definitely attack them!
After listening to Zhang Fei's analysis, Liu Jian felt that Zhang Fei's words were very reasonable.

"Yide, you can think so deeply now. It is indeed very different from before."

"You keep talking."

Zhang Fei continued: "Brother, I don't know who the person from the Mi family is who came to ask for alms, but since the Mi family can think of going to the north of Xiapi Kingdom to help the victims, it shows that the Mi family's humanity is pretty good, and they are kind to the common people. He has a kind heart and is a good person.”

"And Zuo Rong wants to seize the Mi family's belongings, which shows that he is a treacherous and cruel person."

"We can discuss this with the Mi family in advance."

"It's the right time to use the Mi family's luggage as bait to get rid of the violent people."

Liu Jian nodded:

"Set a scented bait to lure turtles into the urn, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Guan Yu who was standing aside: "Yun Chang, what do you think of Yide's strategy?"

Guan Yu said solemnly: "Yide's strategy is in line with the current situation."

"Okay, then follow Yide's advice."

Zhang Fei added: "But it's a God-given change. The person sent by the Mi family to help the victims this time is neither Mi Zhu nor Mi Fang. Therefore, my brother can't negotiate with this person from the Mi family who came to give alms." By temporarily concealing your identity, when you act like this, you can remain anonymous, and Zuo Rong's side will not be on guard. After all, our brothers' trip south is also a secret one, and Zuo Rong and Que Xuan don't know about it."

"Once he takes action, he will act with such force that he will die!"

Guan Yu was stroking his long beard and staring at Zhang Fei with bright eyes.

"I never thought that Yide would have such vision and strategy. If Guan continues to slack off, I'm afraid he will be left behind by his virtuous brother soon."

Liu Jian laughed loudly on the sidelines.

Zhang Fei seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Hehe, brother praised me too much. How can I be so powerful?"

Liu Jian encouraged: "My dear brother, don't be too modest. Since Yun Chang has said that you are great, it means that our virtues are extraordinary and comparable to those of generals. This time, Yun Chang and I will all obey your orders. You must do it." Plan this well.

……

……

Based on Zhang Fei's suggestion, Liu Jian had already prepared arrangements to use the Mi family to attack Zuo Rong and Que Xuan.

And Zuo Rong and Que Xuan did not live up to Zhang Fei's expectations for them. They are really acting as Zhang Fei suspected.

Both Zuo Rong and Que Xuan are narrow-minded, rough and greedy people.

Zuo Rong was a murderer by nature, but he liked to worship Buddha. In order to build temples, his monthly expenditures in Xiapi Kingdom accounted for almost half of Xiapi Kingdom's entire finance.

As guessed, Cao Cao's attack on Xiapi State greatly reduced Xiapi State's fiscal revenue.

Nowadays, although Xiapi has become stable, the chaotic internal affairs are no longer enough to support Zuo Rong's huge consumption.

Zuo Rong would not look for problems in himself. He was short of money, so he set his sights on those who had money.

He wanted to cut off bones and cut pieces of meat from them to feed himself.

But after he plundered the money of several wealthy people in Xiapi State, he found that the money did not play a big supporting role in his huge expenditure.

It really doesn’t quench my thirst!
But it was at this time that the Mi family's caravan went south to give alms to the refugees in the northern border of Xiapi Kingdom.

This news reached Zuo Rong's ears, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Zuo Rong asked people to find out who was the person from the Mi family who came to the north of Xiapi to help the victims.

It turned out that the Mi family did not send Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

If Mi Zhu and Mi Fang came to the northern border of Xia Pi, Zuo Rong might still be a little wary. After all, these two people are now popular people around Liu Jian.

But the Mi family didn't send them, so Zuo Rong became bolder.

In fact, according to ordinary people's inference, even if the Mi family did not send Mi Fang and Mi Zhu here, based on the current status of the Mi family in Liu Jian's heart, Zuo Rong should not take action against the Mi family.

But Zuo Rong is no ordinary person. He is fierce and bold, and he dares to do anything.

Especially once he sees the money, he may not even give up his life.

In Zuo Rong's heart, in troubled times, materials are the most important thing!

As long as there are resources and materials, everything else including loyalty, righteousness, friendship...all can be abandoned.

Therefore, he will never let go of the Mi family's luggage easily.

So, Zuo Rong hurriedly found his good friend Que Xuan, and the two discussed the matter together.

Que Xuan received Zuo Rong's greeting and immediately rushed from his Wubao to Xiapi County.

When they met, Que Xuan didn't say much nonsense, but asked directly: "Brother Zuo, why are you so anxious to recruit me here?"

Zuo Rong ordered people to prepare food and wine, and then while arranging for Que Xuan to eat, he said: "Today there is a big deal, which can ensure that our brothers will not have to worry about food and drink for a while. Are you willing to work together with me!"

Que Xuan is also a greedy person. After hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Zeo, if you have any big business, please tell me quickly."

Seeing this, Zuo Rong smiled secretly in his heart.

He knew Que Xuan's personality very well, and he was basically the same type of person as himself.

As soon as you mention a big deal, you can capture his mind immediately.

After waiting for a while, Zuo Rong cleared his throat and said mysteriously to Que Xuan: "Brother, do you know that a family of fat sheep came south from the north of Xuzhou recently, and they were very generous to the savages and people. , Countless grains of rice have been scattered! I just arrived at Xiapi, but I didn’t know how to pay homage to you and my two brothers. What do you think this family thinks!? It’s so rude!”

When Que Xuan heard this, his heart was slightly shaken.

He knew who Zhe Rong was talking about.

The Mi family sent people to Xiapi to appease the refugees and provide relief to the victims. Naturally, he knew this.

Que Xuan frowned and slowly placed the wine drinker that had been brought to his mouth on the table, with a sad look on his face.

He said uneasily: "Brother, if they were from other wealthy families, we would just destroy their families and seize their belongings. But the Mi family is now an important family under General Liu, and both Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are also quite successful. Liu Xuande's important position, if we attack their people, wouldn't it be a falling out? How can Liu Bei let you and me go?"

Zuo Rong was very dissatisfied when he saw that Que Xuan had lost his courage at the critical moment.

He frowned with disdain: "Brother, think about it carefully. If the people who came to Xiapi to donate money were really brothers Mi Zhu or Mi Fang, how could I attack them? But I have already found out who is coming now, and he is not an important figure in the Mi family."

"Besides, even if we really want their food, grass and baggage, how can we reveal our true identities and plunder them?"

"Xuzhou is in such chaos now. There are rioters and bandits everywhere. The Mi family came to rescue the victims in such a big way, but they were robbed by bandits. Isn't that normal?"

"No one is to blame for this, it's just that they themselves acted too openly!"

When Que Xuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He probably understood the meaning of Zuo Rong's words. "Brother is saying that we robbed the Mi family's money, but we acted as thieves. As long as the Mi family doesn't find anything, we can't be blamed for the crime!"

Zuo Rong's voice was very cold: "Of course we can't be blamed. There are so many refugees and bandits in Xiapi now. The Mi family doesn't know what's good and bad. Sending people here at this time is not an act. Isn't this looking for trouble? ?”

"We brothers have so many things to deal with in Xiapi Country, how can we have time to care about their Mi family's affairs?"

"Looking back, the Mi family's caravan was hijacked. Let's find someone to exterminate some rebels and bandits in a symbolic way. Can't we just give them an explanation and be done with it?"

"Anyway, the Mi family in Donghai has a lot of money and grain. If they lose it, they lose it. They have grain and money to give to the victims, so naturally they are not afraid of being hijacked!"

When Que Xuan heard this, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"What my brother said is true. If the Mi family is so wealthy and publicizes its charity to the victims, they must have the confidence."

"For such a family, it's not a big deal if they lose some wealth and husbands."

"They themselves will have to swallow this breath in the end."

Zuo Rong laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's right!"

"Brother, when will we send people to plunder these baggage?"

Zuo Rong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, people from the Mi family are currently helping the victims in the countryside to the north of Xiapi County. There are many people there. If our people go there, if someone is not good, the local people will be killed." If you find out, once it is revealed that our people are pretending to be thieves, even if there is no evidence, it will be difficult to explain in front of the Mi family and Liu Xuande."

"It's scary after all."

"Why don't we send someone to see the leader who came to rescue the victims on behalf of the Mi family, express our goodwill to him, and invite him to go to the southwest of Xiapi City to rescue more victims."

"As long as we show our friendship, the people of the Mi family will not fail to give us face. Then we will let them leave Xiapi County to the north and go southwest. That is our territory, and it is the most convenient to do things there."

Que Xuan suddenly realized what he said.

He extended his thumb towards Zuo Rong and said, "Brother, that's great!"

……

……

In recent days, people from the Mi family have been helping the victims in a village gathering about a hundred miles north of Xiapi.

After hearing the news, refugees from all over the place gathered here one after another. The Mi family dispatched about two thousand servants and countless baggage and carts of food and grass.

The victims of the disaster in Xiapi Kingdom received alms from the Mi family and were grateful to the people of the Mi family.

During this period of time, Mi Zhen did not show up easily.

It's not that she doesn't want to come forward, but that as a woman, she thinks she needs to be vigilant to the outside world, especially since the place in Xiapi is so chaotic now, and these refugees are likely to turn into bandits at any time, so if Mi Zhen is exposed If a woman leads a team to Xiapi Country to rescue the victims, she will most likely be taken into consideration by the thieves.

After all, she also comes from a wealthy family, has some knowledge, and behaves unusually.

However, even though Mi Zhen kept her identity secret, she still couldn't hide her details from agencies that were skilled in investigating.

And these so-called agencies that are good at investigating are naturally the school affairs offices.

After the school affairs office found out Mi Zhen's details, they immediately reported it to Liu Jian.

When Liu Jian learned that the Mi family sent Lady Mi, who was quite famous in history, during this disaster relief, he was quite surprised.

But he quickly regained his composure.

It doesn't matter who the other party is, what kind of woman or man he is, as long as he can cooperate with him to get rid of these two shameless people, Zuo Rong and Que Xuan, then everything will be fine and he can call it a day.

The number of refugees in Xiapi Country is truly astonishing.And just distributing food will not have much effect on the local people.

Because the food you distribute will always be eaten one day.

In just a few days, although the Mi family gained a lot of fame, the amount of food they consumed was also extremely huge.

Seeing that the food to be transported this time was no longer enough, Mi Zhen hurriedly sent people back to the East China Sea and asked her brother and others to mobilize more food from the Mi family's granaries or Wubao in various places.

But when will this matter come to an end? This makes Mi Zhen a little unsure. After all, she is just a woman and can't make too big an idea on this kind of thing.

In fact, when she first came, Mi Zhen was not particularly concerned about how to stabilize the disaster situation.

But after arriving in the north of Xiapi Kingdom, Mi Zhen's heart began to feel a dull pain.

She was also full of sympathy for the people of Xiapi after the war.

Xuzhou experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past. Although it was also turbulent, the East China Sea where Mi Zhen was located did not experience major wars.

Therefore, Mi Zhen had never seen the miserable scene of refugees after the disaster.

Mi Zhen had never seen the madness, misery, and desire for survival when ordinary people begged for food.

In fact, in troubled times, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but Mi Zhen comes from a wealthy family in the East China Sea and is a woman, so she doesn't have much exposure to these things.

The misery and tragedy of ordinary people this time shocked her soul greatly.

Although she was only a woman, her heart was touched by such a miserable scene, and she felt that she should also do something for these people at the lowest level who were innocently affected by the war.

But now, just supplying food to these refugees has already made Mi Zhen a little exhausted and exhausted.

Moreover, the daily output of these grains is huge, but there seems to be no effective relief from the disaster, which gives Mi Zhen a headache.

Although these things were not her responsibility, she still felt a deep sense of loss and frustration in her heart.

At this time, someone suddenly came to visit and Yan wanted to see Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen was surprised when she heard the news.

Because in her memory, she deliberately concealed her identity from Xiapi Kingdom. How could someone say that they wanted to come here to see her?
"What does the person who wants to see me look like?"

The attendant hurriedly described it to Mi Zhen: "As for the girl, there are two people who came to see her. They are both luxuriously dressed and well-groomed."

"The leader is probably in his thirties."

"The grace and bearing are extremely noble."

The servants of the Mi family are accustomed to big scenes.

Moreover, the Mi family's training for their servants is to enable them to identify a person's identity as much as possible.

After all, families like the Mi family have extremely strict vetting of the people they associate with.

Since this servant can tell that the other party has a noble status, it must be that the other party's temperament and the other party's clothes can make the servant feel good.

Hearing what the servant said, Mi Zhen thought to herself: Maybe there really is some powerful person who wants to see her.

Since the other party is so good and knows that he is here, he should not be a casual person, so there is no harm in meeting him.

"In that case, let those two noble men come in."

"promise."

The two men, who were luxuriously dressed and of good temperament, were introduced into the house.

The leader was about thirty years old. As the servant said, he had a very good temperament and had an indescribable nobility all over his body.

The big man behind him has a majestic appearance and a strong beard. He looks like he is still in his prime, so he looks very majestic.

"What's next?"

"Miss, I'm sorry to bother you. My son is an old friend in Huainan. Now I heard that the lady is giving alms to Xiapi. I came here to meet you. I have some kind words to give you."

"Well...since I'm an old friend of my brother, please sit down."

Liu Jian immediately found a place to sit down in the house, then looked at Mi Zhen and said, "I have heard for a long time that my old friend's sister is beautiful and virtuous. When I see her today, I know that her reputation is well-deserved."

"Sir, you are so complimentary. Don't you dare ask him his name?"

"A certain family whose surname is Liu and whose given name is Ji is from Jiujiang. In the past, when he was traveling to Xuzhou to do business, he had an acquaintance with Brother Zizhong."

Mi Zhen said hurriedly: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu, disrespectful, disrespectful."

Liu Jian smiled and said: "You must have doubts in your heart. Zizhong and I have only met each other once, and I have no close relationship with the Mi family. Why are you here today?"

Mi Zhen said openly: "The little girl does have this doubt in her heart."

Liu Jian said: "In that case, I won't hide anything from the girl. Let's talk directly...Liu came here today just for the sake of his old friend, and came to relieve the girl's life and death."
