Hou Fang lived in the North Courtyard, which meant that he sat north and faced south.
At this time, the lights in the North Courtyard were brightly lit, and the room was still shining brightly. Although it was already late at night, Hou Fang and his two staff were still discussing matters.
The matter discussed was nothing more than how to change Hou Fang's impression in Wang Can's eyes. Hou Fang had sent troops to meet Wang Can and told Wang Can that he was loyal to Wang Can, but Hou Fang directly surrendered to Ma Teng and became Ma Teng's subordinate.
Now he has directly surrendered to Wang Can and returned to Wang Can's command again. He comes and goes like a complete loser.
He looked at the staff below and asked: "Two gentlemen, what can you do to change my status in the heart of the King of Shu? This is related to my future career, so you must not be careful!"
When Hou Fang's two aides heard this, they both looked embarrassed.
As the saying goes, the human heart is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Hou Fang saved his official position and his life, but he still wanted to be promoted, which was very difficult.
But the bigger Hou Fang's official position is, the more benefits they will get.
This is a mutually reinforcing relationship. The better Hou Fang's situation is, the better off they will be; the worse Hou Fang's situation is, the more miserable they will be. Therefore, even though the two despise Hou Fang in their hearts, they still have to make suggestions for Hou Fang.
The fat staff thought for a while and said: "Sir, if you want to be the confidant of the King of Shu, you have to do what he likes. For example, food, grass and ordnance are what the King of Shu needs. If you can prepare food, grass and ordnance, you will definitely
You can win the favor of the King of Shu. Alternatively, you can also get the King of Shu's reward by reporting to the King of Shu who are still loyal to Ma Teng and who are planning to assassinate the King of Shu."
After hearing this, Hou Fang frowned slightly.
Where can he get food, grass, ordnance? Besides, the big families in Xinping County were killed by Ma Teng and Wang Can. There are not many people loyal to Wang Can, and there are also very few people loyal to Ma Teng. It is difficult to complete both roads.
Hou Fang thought for a while and said: "Sir, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete!"
The fat staff member said in a deep voice: "Sir, if you want to be a high official and do big things, you have to do whatever it takes!"
This sentence is already charting a path for Hou Fang.
If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you won't be able to do things honestly. If you want to be Wang Can's confidant, you must do whatever he wants and use various means to accomplish what Wang Can wants.
After hearing this, Hou Fang fell silent and nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, the handsome-looking staff member said again: "Sir, I have an idea."
Hou Fang was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Sir, if you have any ideas, just tell me."
The thin-looking staff member said: "Ma Teng's family and daughter all live in the county government. Due to the lack of information, Ma Yunlu still doesn't know that Ma Teng and Ma Dai have been killed. At this time, you can tell the news about Ma Teng and Ma Dai
Tell Ma Yunlu and threaten Ma Yunlu that the King of Shu is going to kill all Ma Teng's wives and concubines. If he wants to save Ma Teng's wives and concubines, only Ma Yunlu can throw himself into the arms of the King of Shu in order to save the lives of Ma Teng's family.
It also prevents their family from being humiliated."
Hou Fang raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not possible. If I threaten Ma Yunlu, but I am discovered by the King of Shu in the end, won't I have to bear the wrath of the King of Shu?"
The slender-looking staff member smiled and said: "No, the King of Shu is not angry but happy."
Hou Fang asked: "Why?"
The fat staff continued: "The ancients said that food and sex are good, Ma Yunlu is beautiful in the sky, and has the heroic spirit of the daughter of Xiliang, even a saint will be tempted when he sees it. The King of Shu is in his thirties, and he will not let such a person pass by.
Beautiful woman, you have solved the problem of subduing Ma Yunlu for the King of Shu, and the King of Shu must be grateful."
Hou Fang calculated carefully, with an excited expression on his face.
He couldn't help but rub his hands and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Ma Yunlu to explain the interests and let her take the initiative to deliver the newspaper."
Both aides said: "Your Excellency is wise!"
Hou Fang smiled and said: "It was all thanks to the plan of two gentlemen. In the past, Ma Teng's army came to kill me. I didn't know how to deal with it. It was only with the advice of these two gentlemen that I was able to save my life and securely hold the post of county magistrate. Now if I can win the title of Shu
As the king's favor rises higher and higher, I will never forget the great kindness of these two gentlemen."
The two staff members smiled and quickly humbled themselves.
While they continued talking, no one noticed a figure floating past outside the study.
Hou Fang and the two talked for a while before letting the two staff members go to rest. The fat staff member and the thin-looking staff member saluted Hou Fang, and then walked out of the study together. Hou Fang stayed in the study room alone.
, I still have to deal with some things, and I can't go to rest until I'm done.
In the study room, the lights are brightly lit.
Outside the study, the night was deep and dark.
The two aides walked and talked.
When the two of them walked out of the yard, they heard a light cough coming from the passage in the distance. Suddenly, they both stopped and looked towards the dark corridor. Because the light was too dark, they could not see the situation clearly. That appearance
Qinghui's staff said: "Lao Yu, look at what happened. Why is there a cough?"
Lao Yu is the name of a fat staff member. His surname is Yu, so he is called Lao Yu.
Lao Yu nodded slightly and walked towards the darkness. When Lao Yu's fat body disappeared into the darkness, a figure suddenly jumped up behind Lao Yu, stretched out his hand holding a cloth towel and covered Lao Yu's mouth and
Nose. Lao Yu couldn't breathe. His body twisted a few times in the dark, and then became motionless and motionless.
The thin-looking staff member could not see the situation clearly, and saw that Lao Yu's figure was still in the darkness, but did not move.
He thought for a while and walked forward.
However, just as he was walking forward, another person came out from behind and covered his mouth.
The thin-looking staff member opened his eyes wide, knowing that he was in trouble. He opened his mouth to moan, but did not make any sound. A hand quickly touched his neck, and with a sudden force, there was a crack, and the neck was twisted.
Broken. His body kept twisting, but he still had some consciousness.
As he was swinging his body, he heard a voice coming from behind: "You dare to take advantage of my young lady, damn it!"
After the words fell, the slender-looking staff member completely stopped moving.
After a short time, the two corpses were dragged to Hou Fang's yard and hid, and were temporarily placed outside. Matthew returned to the yard with two soldiers and asked the person monitoring Hou Fang in the yard: "Hou Fang is there?"
Is there any movement?"
The soldier replied: "Third Young Master, Hou Fang is still in the study."
Matthew nodded and ordered: "You stay here and I will lead him out."
After finishing speaking, Matthew quietly walked towards the door of Hou Fang's study. He hid outside the door and knocked gently on the door. At this time, the murderous intention in Matthew's heart was already surging rapidly.
Hou Fang actually wanted to threaten Ma Yunlu, which had already touched Ma Xiu's negative side. He had to kill Hou Fang so that Ma Xiu could feel happy.
"Boom! Boom!"
Hou Fang noticed the sound of the door and immediately stood up to open the room.
The door opened, but Hou Fang saw no one there.
At first, Hou Fang thought it was his staff who had left and returned, but there was no one outside the house, which shocked him. How could there be no one? Just when he was shocked, a slight cough suddenly came from outside the yard.
This was arranged by Matthew specifically to attract Hou Fang's attention.
After Hou Fang heard this, he walked out of the study.
Just after Hou Fang took a few steps, Ma Xiu suddenly jumped out from behind Hou Fang.
"boom!"
A slight sound sounded, and Hou Fang felt a pain in his chest.
His heart ached, and he was about to make a sound when he opened it.
However, the moment he opened his mouth, it was immediately blocked. Not only that, but his nose was also covered. Hou Fang had difficulty breathing and his body kept struggling. However, Matthew was very powerful and could not tolerate Hou Fang at all.
After resisting, his mouth and nose were blocked, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail.
After a while, Hou Fang stopped moving.
At this point, Hou Fang and two of his staff were killed.
Ps: The fourth update is completed, call it a day and rest.
