This retainer came on his own and was not accompanied by an official. He was wearing an old robe and was in his thirties, with a tall and straight figure and a cold face.
It looks a bit majestic, different from the disciples Huang mentioned.
Mrs. Huang said that Mrs. Wu's disciples were all cheating and cheating, and everyone knew that there were no knights, storytellers, singers, dramatists, painters, etc. who had gone to Mrs. Wu's sect. How could any scholar be willing to bow down to a woman?
A person who is willing to bend down for a woman is not a person worthy of admiration, or a person who wants to use this woman to cling to him is not a person worth clinging to.
The people of the Huang family said that the guest named Jiang Liang was already eager to live in the Huang family. He knew everything about the Huang family's inquiries about Mrs. Wu, but he had just been arrested and didn't know much.
Now he is just recommending himself in the face of danger and promising that he can solve this crisis. In fact, Madam Wu is not convinced yet.
"I don't have any martial arts, ventriloquism or painting skills, and I don't have a handsome face."
"But if the turmoil in Guangzhou Prefecture can be quelled this time, Mrs. Wu will have a happy talk with all the aristocratic families, and Guangzhou Prefecture will be as strong as an iron barrel from now on, then I will definitely become Mrs. Wu's guest."
"If we all work together to repel the rebels, pacify the Huainan Road, and allow Your Majesty and Young Master Daxia to work together and achieve great achievements, then I might even be able to leave a mark in the history books."
The retainer is old and doesn't care about his face. He openly expresses that he just sells his words to relieve the master's worries and gain the master's trust. Then he can rely on the master to seek wealth and honor.
So he tried his best to accomplish this and let Mrs. Wu see his ability. Of course, besides Mrs. Wu, other people could also like him.
After drinking too much in private, he told the Huang family that if there were more demands, he would persuade Mrs. Wu, expressing his sincerity that he hoped that everyone would be well.
But now the customer who comes to my door seems to be insincere.
After being scolded suddenly, the master, who had originally planned to take a deep breath with a cold face, didn't know what to do? Should he scold me?
The master trembled angrily: "Crazy guy, crazy guy, I have no enmity or enmity with you, why do you come here to humiliate me!"
He didn't immediately ask someone to fork the madman out, but he originally planned to fork him out when he said something nice to show his anger.
Because I knew my purpose, I left it alone, but now that I don’t know, I felt uneasy.
When you are scolded, you must know the reason. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Liu Fan sat upright and looked at him coldly: "Mrs. Wu has no enmity against you, why did you harm her? The people of Guangzhou Prefecture have no enmity against you, why did you harm them?"
The owner angrily stamped his feet and pointed at him: "It's Mrs. Wu who wants to harm me, take away my money and food, seize my land, and force me to leave my hometown." Then he pointed at himself, his eyes red with grief and anger, "I am also a citizen of Guangzhou Prefecture, how could I harm me?
Own."
Liu Fan looked at him: "Are you a citizen of Guangzhou Prefecture? Did you apply for work? Did you dig trenches? Did you carry stones and wood on your back? Did you do night patrols? Did you cut fodder for the military camp?"
Since the war, regardless of whether they are refugees or residents, except for the old, young, sick and weak, they are all civilians and must obey the call of the government. Of course, they can pay for work.
Of course people like them won't go to work.
"I spent money," the host shouted, "In addition, I was asked for a lot of money and food. I did my best for Guangzhou Prefecture."
Liu Fan looked at him and said calmly: "You didn't do your best for Guangzhou Prefecture, it was the people of Guangzhou Prefecture who did their best for you."
What do you mean? The master frowned.
"There are only so many people who are recruited to work. If you give money and food, you will not create people to work for you." Liu Fandao, "But the government will use the money and food to exchange for more labor from the people. Those who could only do
People who have one job have to work more and suffer more in order to get more money and food. Why are you so proud of paying this money?"
Of course, this kind of accusation could not scare him. The owner raised his eyebrows and said, "In addition, we were asked for more money..."
Liu Fan stood up: "That's because the people are all human beings. No matter how much money you give, they only have one life. No matter how much work you do, you can't survive. The government can only use money and food to attract more people."
He fluttered his sleeves and sang and danced.
"We have endless porridge to survive, we have endless fine wine to drink, we have high and thick city walls, and we have mighty soldiers and horses."
"Come and be the people of our Gwangju Prefecture. We can have food and shelter. Come and be our soldiers and warriors. You and your bravery can bring food and clothing to the whole family."
He put down his sleeves and stood in front of his master.
"Your money and food have turned into city walls, soldiers and horses, and countless civilians, so that you can sit back and relax in the city and enjoy peace. How can you say that Mrs. Wu is taking your money and food?"
This scholar, with a thin face and old clothes, stood taller than his master in rich and luxurious clothes, and his momentum was like a mountain pressing over him.
The owner couldn't help but take a step back. This guest wouldn't hit anyone!
The guest didn't hit anyone, but the owner's face was filled with anger and fear, and his lips trembled twice. The so-called guest was all smooth-talking and eloquent, but he couldn't be defeated.
Then don’t say it!
"I don't blame or hate, I just want to move, I can do it!" he shouted sadly and angrily.
This is also the reason why they moved, but no one would believe it, but there is no evidence not to believe it.
They just do this, and the world says everything for them.
If you, a retainer, can refute his family or two families, how can you refute all the people?
Liu Fan did not refute, but asked with concern: "Can you find a place to settle down at this time?"
The master sneered: "If you don't bother, you can always find a place to live if you leave here."
Liu Fan said: "Half of Huainan Road is now led by Guangzhou Prefecture. Are you going to leave Huainan Road?" At this point, he looked at the owner and said, "Or you want to go to the other half of Huainan Road."
The scholar's face was not as solemn as before, but his calm expression seemed to be as deep as a cold pool. With these words and this look, the master felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he jumped back and took several steps away.
"Stop spouting nonsense!" he screamed, the fear in his voice overshadowing the anger, "You, what do you want to do!"
The other half of Huainan Road is where the rebels are. If he says he is going somewhere, that means he has surrendered to the enemy!
Surrender to the enemy and be killed without mercy!
Liu Fan did not shout for help. He straightened his old robe with his sleeves, took a step back and stood in front of his previous seat, saying: "No, I'm not saying you want to surrender to the enemy. I'm just saying that the world outside is really
It’s very uneventful. Apart from the soldiers and horses led by the Zhenwu Army, there are only rebels nearby.”
He looked at the master again.
The owner stood at the door with a wary face, ready to run away the next moment.
"It's really not surprising that you encountered an accident when you went out."
"The rebels will not only take away your rice and grain money, but also kill your young and old, take away your women, and drive out those of you who can work as migrant workers."
"Oh, if they knew you were from Guangzhou Prefecture, it might be easier for them to just kill you."
"Think about it, if this was the outcome, what would everyone think?"
The host was angry, anxious, hateful and afraid. After hearing this question, he was full of mixed emotions and seized the opportunity. He pointed at the guest: "Of course it's me who is pitiful. We have to leave our hometown. There is no place in the world.
The land, in the eyes of you strong soldiers and generals, is like an ant."
After saying this, he laughed with grief and anger, which was heartbreaking.
Liu Fan picked up the herbal tea on the table, took a sip, hummed, and asked: "Then who benefits from this result?"
The owner's laughter stopped suddenly, and his mouth was still open, like a fat goose that had been choked.
