"The wall has ears, and the enemy is on the side. If the wall has ears, it is said that the secret plans are leaked."
The meritorious officer Zhang Shi knew that this matter had nothing to do with his old friend Du Ji, so his position naturally favored Fan Xian: "For this reason, I heard that Yang Pei used harsh punishments. If these families can't stand it and involve them randomly, It’s also a problem for us.”
"That's the truth!" Fan Xian clasped his hands and said, "Not only must these families be released slowly, but people like Yang Pei must also be taught a lesson to let them know who is in charge of Hedong!"
Zhu Ao was eager to answer the call, but at this moment the county prime minister Wei Gu said: "It is easy to get them out, but I am afraid that if we continue to fight with Yang Pei and others, it will delay Yuan Jizhou's major events."
Xu You, who was sitting at the second seat, smiled lightly and said disapprovingly: "If we don't fight, it will look like we have some agenda and make us suspicious."
Wei Gu frowned and said: "That's true, but when are we going to take action? Yang Pei and others have Wang Yi and the imperial court behind them. If this continues, it will be difficult for us to withstand them."
"Hongnong and Feng Yi, have these two places been contacted?" Xu Youxian did not answer him, but asked Xiang Fanxian: "There is also the school captain Cheng Yin and the captain general. Can you respond to these two people?"
Fan Xian put his hands on his knees, stood up from the table, and said as he walked: "Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan accompanied Huangfu Song to attack Bai Bo, but they exerted too much force. Instead, Huangfu Song used them to fight against Bai Bo's elite, causing heavy casualties. But the imperial court only gave him a school captain and a captain afterwards, while Huangfu Song was worshiped by the Three Lords. How could the two of them be convinced? Although they had recovered a little in the past few months, they already had feelings for the imperial court. If I have any prejudices, I only need to send someone to tell them, and they will all obey."
Li Yi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was really surprised now. He didn't expect that the dignified Hedong Wei family would collude with Fan Xian and other powerful people to plot a rebellion. He didn't know that this was Wei Gu's position. Or is it because of the instruction of the head of the Wei family, Huangmen Shilang Wei Jian? The Hedong gentry has always been headed by the Wei and Pei families. Now that the Wei family has made a clear decision, what is the position of the Pei family? What is the position of the Pei family in the court? Does Pei Mao, the captain of the Sili School, know about the undercurrent surging behind Hedong?
In addition, there are Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan, two generals who control thousands of county soldiers in Hedong. In addition, including the field soldiers under Fan Xian, the captain of Diannong School, the tribes of each family can organize at least 30,000 to 40,000 people. Come on, let these domineering wealthy families control the local military and political affairs. Didn’t the imperial court know how harmful it would be from the beginning? This is already the case in Hedong alone. What are the two counties of Hongnong and Zuofengyi? Are powerful people involved?
Li Yi ran through thousands of thoughts and doubts in his mind, but still couldn't figure out the answer. He just wanted to wait until he finished listening and then go back to find Bao to find out. He put his ear closer to the door, trying to distinguish the sounds in the room.
At this time, Fan Xian walked to the aisle between the seats while talking. The ring hanging on his waist jingled. He lightly pressed the sword grid with his left thumb, suddenly stopped and spoke in a longer tone: "As for Feng Yi, and Hongnong”
Suddenly, a ray of cold light emerged from Fan Xian's hand like lightning. His figure rushed to the door with a very neat movement. He opened the door with one hand and held a sword in the other hand like a horse. Before everyone had time to exclaim, In an instant, he rushed out of the door. The man outside the door was flexible, his big sleeves were flowing, and his movements were extremely elegant, avoiding the sharp edges, and he took a few steps back into the courtyard.
Everyone was startled and walked to the door one after another. They saw the man wearing a shabby robe that didn't fit very well, but his expression was as if he was wearing the most luxurious clothes in the world. He stood proudly, as if he had roots under his feet.
"Justice!" Zhu Ao's breath stagnated, as if he suddenly saw something incredible, he said in horror: "What are you doing here!"
Zhu Gongdao said coldly: "I have something to do and I have to leave first, so I came to see my master to say goodbye."
After saying that, Zhu Gongdao glanced at Fan Xian who was still pointing the sword at him, and praised him nonchalantly: "Fan Jun is good at swordsmanship."
Fan Xian's expression was a little excited, and he stared at Zhu Gongdao for a while with fluctuating breath. His eyes were sharp, like a knife blade, looking into Zhu Gongdao's eyes: "Did you hear everything?"
"I heard it." Zhu Gongdao said bluntly.
Zhu Ao was startled and quickly explained: "Justice is my son. I never care about trivial matters and troubles. I only like to make friends and travel, so I have never entrusted him with this important matter. This time I heard that
The secret must have been unintentional and a misunderstanding."
Fan glanced at Zhu Ao first, and after some mental struggle, he put the sword back into its sheath: "Since Justice is not an outsider, that's it this time. It's just that this matter involves thousands of lives of you and my family, Zhu Ao
Just take care of yourself."
Zhu Aosha's pale face softened a little. He secretly winked at Xu You who was standing aside, stretched out a few fingers from his sleeves and rubbed them.
Xu You understood and felt that Zhu Gongdao would not betray his family, so he said slowly after Fan Xian: "It's not convenient to discuss things here, so we'll find another place later."
When Fan Xian saw this, he stopped pursuing the case any further and prepared to lead everyone away.
When passing by Zhu Gongdao, Fan Xian stopped for a moment and said softly next to him: "I hope to see Zheng Gong's swordsmanship one day."
Zhu Gongdao heard the words, but smiled and said nothing. He stepped aside to let everyone go, but the look of interest on his face became more and more intense.
After everyone left, Zhu Gongdao slowly walked to the foot of a pillar outside the house and said without raising his head: "Come down, everyone is gone."
Li Yi then slid down from the pillar like a monkey. He straightened out his messy clothes, clapped his hands, and then bowed to Zhu Gongdao and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhu, for your help!"
Zhu Gongdao stood there and stared at him blankly, sighing coldly: "It seems that you and Brother Yan have ulterior motives for coming here. They are just making excuses to deceive me."
Seeing that Zhu Gongdao's tone was wrong, Li Yi quickly explained: "Brother Zhu, it's not me who is waiting for you to hide your words, but we have heavy responsibilities and have to..."
"Don't tell me this." Zhu Gongdao waved his hands impatiently, raised his feet and turned to leave: "Just go ahead and do your thing, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Brother Zhu!" Li Yi couldn't help calling behind him.
"Hey! It's troublesome, it's really troublesome!" Zhu Gongdao left without looking back, his two wide sleeves swinging up and down, like two big cloth bags that followed him everywhere.
Li Yi looked at Zhu Gongdao's leaving figure and stood there for a long time. Suddenly, he bowed deeply in the direction of Zhu Gongdao's departure, which seemed to be a thank you and a farewell.
He thought to himself that he was about to lose a friend.
