Chapter 382: Inform
As night fell, Zhang Lang was still watching the report on various aspects of the Nanzhong region sent by the prefect during the day. A lot of bamboo slips were like a lot of bamboo slips! Zhang Lang was dizzy, but he was still very happy. After all, according to the report on the bamboo slips, the situation in all aspects of the Nanzhong region was still very good! Agriculture has made great progress, the Han people's settlement population has continued to increase, and commercial activities have returned to the level before the turmoil in the Nanzhong region.
Zhang Lang put down the bamboo slips and rubbed the corners of his eyes.
Dong Ying, dressed in military uniform, came in from outside and clasped her fists and said, "Brother, someone outside asks for a visit."
Zhang Lang felt very strange, "It's so late, who is it?"
"Is a Han businessman."
Zhang Lang thought for a moment and said to Dong Ying: "Take him in."
Dong Yingying said with a loud voice and stepped back. After a moment, she brought a middle-aged man in. The man was only about 1.5 meters tall, thin, hunched over, with a bad head and a mouse eyes. He looked like a kind of profiteer.
When the middle-aged man saw Zhang Lang, he immediately paid a visit: "The villain Afu greeted the general, long live the general..."
Zhang Lang waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, get up and talk."
"Thank you, General." Ah Fu stood up and quickly clasped his fists to Zhang Lang and said, "The villain is here to report a confidential and important matter to the general! The general is in a very dangerous situation now!"
Dong Ying frowned. Zhang Lang smiled, "Why am I in a very dangerous situation?"
Ah Fu looked around and looked mysterious. Zhang Lang said angrily: "The people here are my confidants. Just say whatever you have!"
Afu responded, clasped his fists and said, "Zhurong and Meng Huo conspired to harm the lord!"
Dong Ying was shocked. Zhang Lang looked calm and said lightly: "Do you know what you are saying? If the important generals under my command are sentenced to death!" A Fu quickly knelt down and sweared to the sky: "If a villain has half a false statement, he is willing to be punished by heaven, and he will not die well when he hits thunder!"
When Zhang Lang saw his solemn expression and made such a poisonous oath, he couldn't help but wonder. The ancients sweared that they were not like modern people. The ancients feared ghosts and gods and did not dare to swear easily.
Zhang Lang asked: "What is your identity?"
Afu clasped his fists and said, "The villain is from Xiangyang. He went to Xichuan to do business ten years ago, and now he is doing some leather goods and medicinal products in Nanzhong."
Zhang Lang said coldly: "How could you, a little businessman, know such an important and confidential matter?"
Afu hurriedly said, "Everything that villain said is true, if there is half a false statement..."
"Okay OK, you just need to say, how did you know this confidential matter."
"Yes." Paused, "That day, the female guard of the Queen's Mansion found the villain and ordered many medicinal materials to treat women's illnesses. He asked the villain to send them as soon as possible, and then paid the deposit. After the villain packed up, he brought a friend to the palace with two poles of medicinal materials. After sending the medicinal materials into the warehouse, a female guard paid the final payment and asked us to leave on his own. The two of me walked towards the back door. Unexpectedly, when passing through a courtyard wall, he heard two women whispering inside, one of them said: The Queen and the King were preparing to join forces to take down Lu Bu. Then the other woman said: I don't know if it will be successful? Then the woman said before: It will definitely be successful. Lu Bu only had a thousand guards beside him. The villain was so scared that he was so scared that he left quickly."
Afu swallowed his saliva, "Little man, the villain didn't want to get involved in this matter. But later he thought about it and couldn't watch the general fall into the trap of the Southern Barbarians, so he risked his life to report it!"
Dong Ying said anxiously: "Brother..."
Zhang Lang raised his hand to signal Dong Ying to Mo Yan for the time being. He stood up, walked to A Fu, looked at him, and said, "Stand up and talk."
"Yes." Ah Fu stood up.
Zhang Lang said: "As you said, the guy under your command should have heard those words too?"
Afu nodded, "The villain has already told him not to speak nonsense."
Zhang Lang said to Dong Ying, "Send someone to bring that guy." Dong Ying agreed and left the study.
Zhang Lang glanced at Ah Fu, "This matter is of great importance, I can't just listen to your words." Ah Fu hurriedly said, "The villain understands."
Not long after, a strong and dull young man in a blue cloth shirt was taken into the study by Dong Ying and shouted, "Don't you pay homage to the general?" The young man was startled and quickly knelt down, "Little man, Niu Da, pay homage to the general!" He said and bowed.
Zhang Lang looked at him and asked, "Not long ago, did you and your master go to the Queen's Mansion to deliver medicinal materials?" Niu Da straightened his waist and nodded, "Little man, the villain and his boss gave the Queen two dans of Chinese medicinal materials, both of which are used to treat women's illness!"
Zhang Lang glanced at Afu and asked Niu Da: "When you left, did you hear two women talking?"
Niu Da nodded and said silly: "I heard it, but the villain cannot tell you, the boss will not let you say it." Ah Fu hurriedly shouted: "The general wants you to say it!" Then he explained to Zhang Lang: "My fellow is not smart, so please forgive me."
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "It's okay. Ask Niu Da: "What did those two women say?"
Niu Da said what he heard that day, and the content was roughly the same as Afu's narration.
Zhang Lang was silent for a moment and said to the two: "Your information is very important! After the matter is over, I will reward you well!"
Afu was overjoyed and said, "It is a privilege for the villain to be able to serve the general." Niu Da, who was beside him, also hurriedly followed him.
Zhang Lang looked at the two of them and said, "You go back first. Don't go anywhere lately, maybe I will have something to use for you. In addition, you must not disclose what you have heard to anyone!"
Afu clasped his fists and said, "The villain followed the order of the general. The villain retreated." He stood up, and Niu Da also stood up. The two bowed and retreated.
Zhang Lang looked at the backs of the two men and frowned.
Dong Ying couldn't help but say, "Brother, we have to leave here quickly!"
Zhang Lang showed hesitation. He returned to the back of the previous book case and sat down. Dong Ying came forward and said anxiously: "The barbarian woman has colluded with Meng Huo. This place is already very dangerous. The eldest brother must leave immediately!"
Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes, "This matter is hard to say."
