Chapter 147: The Favored Minister (2)
Lu Fang got up and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the heavy snow flying in the sky outside the window, his voice seemed to come from a very far away direction: "The border was tight that day, my father and brother and I fought against the Nanman, and then at the most critical moment, food and grass were not available, and the soldiers They used weeds to feed their hunger, and they were yellow and emaciated. Under such circumstances, they unfortunately lost a few battles. My father revised several books one after another, and asked the emperor many times to ask for more food and grass, but there was no news. Later, my father had to send me back to investigate, but I was blocked by Yan Song. It was this encounter, I found some doubts, found out that Yan Song secretly embezzled the military salary, took screenshots of the evidence of grain and grass, and found out that Yan Song hid the military salary and other stolen goods So I was busy repairing my father, who asked me to return to the capital to report to the emperor. But at this time, Yan Song had already noticed something strange. He had been secretly framing my father. The Lu family was accused of embezzling military pay and plotting against others, and the disappearing military pay and several defeats of the Lu family army became ironclad evidence of our treason."

Lu Fang paused for a moment, and then said: "They killed my father and brother, but left me alone and escorted them back to the capital secretly. I don't know what reason Yan Song fabricated in front of the emperor. But the real reason is that I To prevent accidents, the military salary he embezzled has been secretly moved to another place, and he can't find it, so he wants to hold me in his hands and strictly extract a confession."

When he said this, he sneered: "It's a pity that he didn't wait for me to be interrogated, and the Nanman stormed the capital with thunderous force, and he had no choice but to run away in a hurry. Later, I heard that he was caught by Gao Zhang, and he was cast in Gao Zhang. Zhang."

When Qin Zheng heard this, he already understood: "You want to use the army salary that Yan Song embezzled?"

Lu Fang nodded, and his voice was loud: "Yes. Maybe outsiders think that we need to avoid suspicion, but I don't want to avoid it. My Lu family has been loyal for a hundred years, and I have a clear conscience for Dayan and the late emperor. Now that the emperor is in power, it is the emperor who forced his ministers to rebel. I want to use this greedy army salary to make a fortune in this chaotic world."

The reflection of the white snow outside the window reflected his thin face, which was as proud as a mountain, with sharp eyebrows, and there was a majestic aura about him.

Qin Zheng nodded: "Excellent, now you have soldiers and money, and your reputation is ready-made. If you go back and call out from the top, there will be many responders. With your great reputation on the battlefield in the past, why not be here?" Troubled times take their place."

Lu Fang looked back, looked deeply at Qin Zheng, and seemed to have something to say, but when he was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside, and then he heard someone shouting loudly: "The wine is here!"

Torre slowly ran up the steps and opened the door. When the wind and snow came, he hurriedly closed the door and pressed the two jars of snow-stained wine on the table. Then he patted the snowflakes on himself and said with a big smile. : "Now we can have a good drink!"

Qin Zheng brought three large porcelain bowls and opened one of the wine jars. The aroma of the wine overflowed, and it was the best bamboo leaf green.

Qin Zheng filled three large porcelain bowls with wine, then picked up a bowl, and said: "Lu Fang is leaving soon, this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again, I will respect him first !” As he spoke, he raised his neck and gulped it down.
