I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 607 Zhang Fei eliminates thieves
Of course, Zuo Rong will not let Mi Zhen go back, and no matter what, he will definitely encourage the Mi family caravan to go south to the southern border of Xiapi Kingdom to give alms. After all, this matter is very important to Zuo Rong, and he will take this opportunity to swallow How can the baggage that the Mi family brought here to give alms and the meat that reaches your mouth make you fly away?

Mi Zhen, if you want to return to the north, that's impossible!

Of course, what was on his mind was this dirty thing, but on the surface, Zuo Rong had to do the right thing.

He stroked his beard and sighed with emotion: "Girl, it's not that Zuo is unwilling to agree to the girl's request, it's just that the people of the Xiapi Kingdom are now displaced and are fleeing trouble because of the war. Now it's not easy for your Mi family to be willing to help. We are stabilizing the victims, and Mr. Zuo has a big plan for the country of Xia Pi, so how can we easily let you girls go?"

What he said was half true and half false. Although he rejected Mi Zhen's proposal, Zuo Rong didn't say it in such a bad way. It sounded more or less like a half-joke.

Mi Zhen did not continue talking to Zuo Rong about this matter, because she had also learned business with her brother for many years. Mi Zhen just needed to observe whether the other party wanted to let go, or where their bottom line was. You can probably guess the other person's facial expressions, or the tone and attitude of the other person's words.

It seemed that Zuo Rong was really not planning to let go of the Mi family members who were going south to give alms.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhen couldn't help but feel nervous, and for her at this time, the only person she could rely on was Mr. Liu Ji.

At this time, Li Gu, who had been standing behind Mi Zhen, suddenly said softly: "Girl, what Zuo Rong said just now has been very clear. I'm afraid that girl alone can't make her change her mind. Please follow Mr. Liu's instructions If you say so, do it.”

Mi Zhen understood in her heart.

After toasting Zuo Rong and Que Xuan with water and wine, Mi Zhen made an excuse that she needed to go to the backyard to change clothes, and wanted to ask Zuo Rong and Que Xuan to wait for her for a while.

This was what Liu Jian had told Mi Zhen in advance.

If Zuo Rong and Que Xuan don't agree to Mi Zhen's request to go north, then let Mi Zhen find an excuse to hide in the back house first, and then Liu Jian will step forward and negotiate with Que Xuan and Zuo Rong on her behalf. .

Although Liu Jian did not tell Mi Zhen how he would discuss this matter with Zuo Rong and Que Xuan, Liu Jian's resourcefulness, his maturity, and his sincere attitude towards Mi Zhen in the past made Mi Zhen feel dissatisfied with him. Full of trust and expectation.

Mi Zhen now believed without any basis that Liu Jian must have a way to convince Zuo Rong and Que Xuan.

But as for how to persuade, Mi Zhen didn't know.

Admittedly, she would never have imagined that Liu Jian had no intention of persuading them at the beginning, but planned to kill them directly!

……

……

Seeing Mi Zhen getting up and walking towards the back house, Que Xuan, who became lustful, began to think of dirty things in his mind.

He was originally a reckless person and naturally lustful. Today he drank some wine and suddenly he had some dirty thoughts.

He stood up in a pretentious manner, cupped his hands towards Zuo Rong and said, "Brother, I need to go to the toilet!"

Zuo Rong didn't think much about anything else, just drank his wine, and then waved his hand, signaling Que Xuan to go back quickly.

Under the guidance of the Mi family's servants, Que Xuan went to the toilet in the back house.

Later, when he came to the courtyard of the toilet, he did not rush to go to the toilet. Instead, he walked towards the other side of the house with a mean smile on his face.

That place was naturally the back house, and it was also a private place belonging to Mi Zhen and other members of the Mi family. Mi Zhen must have gone there to change her clothes.

There were two servants of the Mi family at the entrance of the courtyard. Seeing Que Xuan wandering towards Mi Zhen's private house, they hurriedly said: "Mr. Que, this is my girl's boudoir. It is not allowed for outsiders to enter..."

"Blind your eyes!"

Que Xuan roared angrily, stretched out his hand and slapped the servant until his eyes were filled with stars. Then his body tilted and he almost sat down on the ground.

After Que Xuan slapped him, naturally no one dared to keep him. He did not dare to say a word and carefully watched Que Xuan strode into the inner house.

After Que Xuan walked into the inner house, under the influence of alcohol, he glanced back and forth with a dirty look on his face, seemingly looking for Mi Zhen's figure.

"Xianmei? Where has Xianmei gone?"

Que Xuan really didn't know his last name at this moment, how dare he come to the back house of another woman so shamelessly, wanting to do something nasty and bully her.

"Where is Sister Xian? Que went to the toilet just now and got lost in this mansion. Sister Xian, please come out and guide me brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly kicked Que Xuan from behind him.

After Que Xuan fell down, he felt dizzy. He then reacted, turned his head in anger, looked at the person behind him and said: "Who doesn't care about life, how dare you not..."

The last word "respect" was stuck in Que Xuan's throat, and he couldn't spit out a word.

At this moment, behind Que Xuan, a giant man like an iron tower was standing, looking at Que Xuan with a ferocious smile.

The reason why Que Xuan was so surprised that he couldn't speak was just because he had seen this man in Tancheng a few months ago!

Isn't this Liu Jian's younger brother, the fierce general of Hebei, Zhang Fei? !
Que Xuan raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "You, you, aren't you...?"

Before Que Xuan could finish speaking, Zhang Fei suddenly kicked him forward, knocking Que Xuan almost to the point of fainting.

Que Xuan lay on the ground groaning in pain. He really couldn't figure out why he saw Zhang Fei in Mi Zhen's inner house.

This is impossible ah? !
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of gentle footsteps.

But Zhang Fei waved his hand gently behind him, and two soldiers of the Liaodong Army stepped forward to fight Que Xuan.

Que Xuan was kicked in the face by Zhang Fei. His whole face was now bloody and his teeth seemed to be loose.

His eyelids were red and swollen, and he looked at the place where the footsteps came from with a confused expression.

But looking at it, Que Xuan almost fainted.

The shock given to him by the visitor was greater than the shock given to him by Zhang Fei.

"big big big……!"

Before Que Xuan finished speaking, Liu Jian winked, and soldiers immediately came forward and sealed Que Xuan's mouth with silk.

At this moment, Que Xuan really couldn't even say a word.

Liu Jian squinted his eyes and moved closer to Que Xuan.

He looked at Que Xuan with a smile on his face: "Mr. Que, do you know why so-and-so is here?"

Que Xuan shook his head blankly.

Liu Jian said calmly: "Don't worry, I will make it clear to you. I originally intended to hand over Pi State to you and Zuo Rong, but instead of serving the country well, you two hoarded food locally. You are good at killing innocent people, scheming against rich families, with evil intentions, but you still support your own troops and act like thieves, what do you want to do?"

"Do you want to establish a so-called state within a state in the Han Dynasty?"

"Woo woo woo~~."

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Que Xuan kept trying to say something to quibble, but his mouth had been blocked by Liu Jian's order, and he couldn't speak at all.

Liu Jian looked at him with a half-smile but said, "I know what you want to say. Do you just want to cry out that you are wronged? It doesn't matter. I have enough evidence for you two! You two have evil intentions and intend to rebel. Harming the good people, how many powerful gentry of Pi State have been murdered by you now? How much money and taxes of Pi State have been squandered by you without permission? "

"You are simply the worms of my great man. If I don't punish you, how can I be justified?"

"Woo woo woo~~."

Que Xuan kept twisting his body, as if he wanted to say something, but Liu Jian suddenly raised his hand and hit him hard on the neck.

This time, Que Xuan was almost deprived of oxygen to his brain.

Then he tilted his head and seemed to have half fainted.

Liu Jian didn't care whether he fainted or not and winked at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei understood and called his men to drag Que Xuan down.

Later, Zhang Fei asked Liu Jian: "Brother? Do you want to take action?"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Of course we have to do it!" Zhang Fei was very excited after hearing this.

He squeezed his palms hard and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of all those people in a while!"

Liu Jian said very calmly: "Keep it in check, remember not to leave a single person alive, and don't let their people go back to Xiapi or Quexuan's Wubao to report the news... No one can run away."

Zhang Fei said very calmly: "Brother, don't worry, I set up everything and the plan this time, and I also arranged the personnel arrangements. I will not lose my family by setting up a plan in front of my brother for the first time." face."

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Fei is really worthy of trust now.

Zhang Fei said again: "Brother, do you know? That Que Xuan just outside was trying to get his hands on the girl of the Mi family. Hehe, he didn't even look at what kind of bastard he was. A mere commoner actually wanted to get his hands on the beautiful jade? You really don’t overestimate your capabilities!”

Liu Jian smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect that my brother would actually know how to cherish the beauty of women. It's not bad, it's a lot of progress."

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "I'm telling you this for your brother. Don't you have any thoughts about that girl from the Mi family? I'm your brother, and I know your thoughts best. After all, this is a piece of flawless jade. ah."

Liu Jian neither admitted nor denied. He just extended his hand to Zhang Fei and said, "Go and finish the serious things so that we can return to Hebei. I will give you a chance to show off today."

"promise!"

As Zhang Fei left, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to show up. He just found a quiet place in the mansion to sit down, and then carefully thought about whether there were any omissions in the arrangements made today.

Not long after, a pale-faced Mi Zhen came to Liu Jian accompanied by Li Gu.

"Mr. Liu, why are you still here? Why haven't you gone to the front yard to intercede with the Prime Minister and others and ask them to let the Mi family go?"

Liu Jian replied: "Girl, don't worry, just leave this matter to me. I don't need to personally come forward to persuade Zuo Rong and Que Xuan. As long as my two close friends go there, it will be enough."

When Mi Zhen heard what Liu Jian said, he had a slightly confused look on his face, but seeing Liu Jian's calm expression, he felt that Liu Jian would definitely be able to do this.

"Mr. Liu. When I was in the inner room just now, I heard some noise outside. Do you know what happened?"

Liu Jian waved his hand very calmly and said, "It's not a problem, it's just that a wild dog that came from nowhere accidentally escaped into the yard and had to be driven out by the servants."

"Wild dog?" Mi Zhen seemed a little surprised when she heard this: "How could such a good person come here with a wild dog?"

Liu Jian smiled and said: "In troubled times, jackals are in power and animals are everywhere. It is normal for one or two wild animals to run into our house occasionally. It is not a big deal. Just take care of it."

Mi Zhen nodded suddenly, and then heard him say: "Sir, it's polite for me to go out to keep you company."

Liu Jian shook his head: "No need, girl. My two brothers will be discussing with Zuo Guoxiang and the others later. I'm afraid it won't be possible for the girl to be present. The girl will go back to her room. We will discuss the matter later and invite the girl to come out." , please don’t wander around during this period.”

Mi Zhen was a little confused about what Liu Jian was going to do, but seeing how confident he was, Mi Zhen felt that since she had to rely on Liu Jian, she would simply leave all these things to him and do as he asked. , don't make any mistakes yourself, otherwise you will regret other people's good intentions.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhen turned around and walked towards her house. Before she had taken a few steps, she heard several drum beating sounds suddenly "dong dong dong" outside the courtyard.

Mi Zhen stopped in surprise and looked towards the outside of the courtyard in confusion...how could she be so good, but she was playing the drum instead.

Liu Jian smiled.

It seems that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have already begun to prepare for action.

……

……

At this time, the drums suddenly sounded loudly in the entire front yard, and the sound that sounded this time was obviously the sound of military drums.

Zuo Rong stood up in a hurry and looked around in surprise. After all, he had been on the battlefield all year round and was very familiar with the noise on the battlefield.

The subordinates led by Zuo Rong stopped eating and stood up one after another, looking around cautiously.

At this moment, the door suddenly closed with a bang, and there seemed to be a rumbling sound outside, as if someone had blocked the door with a heavy object.

"what happened!?"

Zhe Rong, who had always been cunning and keen, naturally sensed the danger here and started shouting loudly.

Following his shouts, dozens of people accompanying him to the banquet in the courtyard also drew their swords.

These people are all Zuo Rong's personal guards, and they are very capable.

"Don't be anxious, Prime Minister Ruo. It's just a trivial matter, why are you so panicked? Your official status of two thousand dan has been lost!"

Following a thunderous sound, Zhang Fei was seen strolling leisurely from the back house to the front yard. He sat down on the table at the top and grabbed the table next to him. Put a piece of dog meat in your mouth and bite it.

As soon as Zuo Rong saw Zhang Fei, he suddenly felt confused.

How could it be him?
He had already seen him under Tancheng, so Zuo Rong naturally knew who the person in front of him was.

"General Zhang!? Why are you here?"

While chewing the dog meat, Zhang Fei said loudly: "According to the orders of the general and Xuzhou Mu, I led people to visit Xiapi privately to investigate the people's sentiments. Prime Minister Zuo, don't blame me. I am also acting under orders and cannot make any noise, so I am here for a while." I've been here for a few days and haven't said hello to you, don't you blame me?"

After all, Zuo Rong was an old Jianghu. Zhang Fei suddenly appeared here and closed the door. Naturally, he knew that he had no good intentions.

Zuo Rong looked around and found that apart from himself and his servants with swords, the only ones present were Zhang Fei and the miscellaneous servants of Mi Mansion.

Zuo Rong was determined.

What can these people do to me?

His tone became tougher and his attitude improved.

"General Zhang was ordered to investigate, so let's investigate carefully."

"I wonder if the general is here. Did you find anything?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I found out a few things in Xiapi State, and I especially want to ask the Prime Minister."

"Excuse me, General."

Zhang Fei's face turned cold and he said: "In the past three years, seventy-eight out of ten taxes paid by the Xiapi Kingdom have not been used for people's livelihood, nor for the administration of the county. However, they have been used by the prime minister to worship Buddha, build temples, and open Buddha's Light Association. I wonder if this is the case?"

Zuo Rong said coldly: "Yes."

"County and state taxes are the property of the state. They are used for auditing and auditing over the years. They are not money from the Prime Minister's own treasury. How can they be touched lightly?"

Zuo Rong said disapprovingly: "The purpose of worshiping the Buddha is to universally save all people, cultivate the hearts of all people, and cultivate the virtues of all people. It is also used for people's livelihood, to stabilize and govern the people, why is it not used to govern the country? Why is this not used for governing the country? Above the country?”

Zhang Fei sneered and said: "Is it used for the sake of the country? The income of Xiapi State is uneven. Over the years, the warehouses have been short of harvest and the income cannot make ends meet. Is this possible?"

"Xiapi has suffered from successive disasters and failed harvests of grain and grass. What's so strange about it?"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Fei suddenly slapped the table, stood up angrily, and roared at Zuo Rong: "Xiapi Kingdom has been in good weather for the past three years, how could this disaster happen? It is obviously you and Que Xuan who embezzled the national treasury and formed a private enterprise. Jun, you have evil intentions, how dare you make sophistry here? Zuo Rong, if you plead guilty today, you will die, if you don't plead guilty, you will die. If you plead guilty and obey the law, I will still be able to give you some thin face because of your achievements in plundering Tancheng that day. , don’t announce your crime to the public!”

After hearing this, Zuo Rong laughed arrogantly and said: "Zhang Fei! I call you general, do you really think you can cure it? With the few people in the hospital now, what can you do to me?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You can't do anything to me, so why don't you, the general, do anything to you?"

Zuo Rong spat fiercely and said: "He is willing to accept me and follow me. I respect him and call him general! He wants to attack me. The worst I can do is go south and join Yuan Shao. What can he do to me?"

"Zhang Fei, don't force a certain family to kill you here today!"
